100 KM Ultra Runner Chooses Fulltime Vanlife at Age 21

In this episode, I meet Anna Simonsson-Søndenå — a 21-year-old ultra runner who lives full-time in a tiny Volkswagen Transporter van. With roots in both Norway and Sweden, Anna shares what drives her to run distances over 100 km, how vanlife supports her extreme training, and the mental strength it takes to chase such bold goals. This inspiring conversation blends minimalism, endurance, and the pursuit of freedom — perfect for anyone curious about vanlife, long-distance running, or building an unconventional lifestyle. Watch as we dive into the mindset and daily life of a young woman redefining what’s possible.
