<p>Matt and Fraser hit the road to explore the <em>reality</em> of "van&nbsp;life", going beyond the glossy image often presented on social media. To what extent is&nbsp;van&nbsp;dwelling really a choice, and how easy – or otherwise – is it to live sustainably in a vehicle?</p><p>This episode is the second in our series focusing on projects funded by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.energy-homes-livelihoods.ac.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scottish Research Alliance for Energy Homes and Livelihoods</a>&nbsp;(EHL). Our guest is Dr Louise Reid, Senior Lecturer in Geography and Sustainable Development and Co-Director of the St Andrews Centre for Critical Sustainabilities (StACCS). Along with Dr&nbsp;Rachel Hunt and Dr Rachel Creaney, Louise is part of an EHL-funded project exploring people's lived experiences of&nbsp;van&nbsp;dwelling in Scotland, in an attempt to fill an evidence gap on the topic.</p><p>Follow EHL on LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/...
