Real Honest Vanlife Talk
TL;DR (read this if you skim everything)
Instagram has a new “Maps” feature that can pin your posts to an exact road. Quiet rollout. Big risk.
Van lifers, solo travellers, and families: this can expose your home, workshop, or park-up in real time.
Do this now:
1) Set Instagram Maps/location sharing to “No one.” Re-check often.
2) On your phone, deny location access for Instagram (and Facebook).
3) Don’t post from home or camp spots until after you’ve left. Avoid exterior clues.
