After several months of being out of my van, I'm dipping my toe back into the van lifestyle. Needless to say I wasn't ready and had some unexpected challenges!

I just started vanlife today 😂 I will say I am going in with 0 expectations. I know its not an easy lifestyle. I spoke to my boss a year before I planned all of the specifics out so I could avoid having to find parking after work. Luckily he allowed me to park in our work parking lot and it is gated with cameras and 24 hr surveilance. I am currently in the honey moon phase but will take it a day at a time. I done this for my already isolated lifestyle in apartment. I am hoping this allows me to open up and see more of the world. All I know is I'll learn lessons and continue to grow. I am so grateful and hope the tough road ahead won't be too rigid.

With the state of things going on in the United States right now, I wish you the best, but honestly its getting dangerous on the streets nowadays, stay safe, one caveat of parking in library parking lot that I learned is always contact the local police explain your situation to them so if they happen to come upon you at 3:00 AM they won't bang on your door scare you and wake you.

@annaburns2865 5 ай бұрын

Oh. I’m sorry that you don’t live in a safe area. I didn’t know that you could contact the police. Where I live, I’m more afraid of the police than the criminals. But mostly because there isn’t much crime here. I always thought there was. And I do feel unsafe at times, so maybe God has just put his hedge of protection around me. But I used to live with my mom for 30 years, because I thought the world was a dangerous place. But now she won’t let me live with her because my brother’s family moved in and her house is full. That’s ok. It wasn’t at first. But I’ve come to terms with the fact that I don’t want to live with them anyway. They have made me suicidal in the past, but now I don’t have time for that. I’m trying so hard just to live and survive. The biggest surprise is how safe I feel in my car, even when I have to go somewhere in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The gym is only open half of the nights, so the other times I go to a gas station. Sometimes Walgreens or whataburger. It’s surprising safe. I mean, don’t be stupid or anything. But also no reason to be afraid. I was afraid of being in a car wreck for the longest time but just gave my friend a ride last night, and she had me driving all across town. We almost got in multiple car accidents. I’m kind of pissed off because she should have known better and I should’ve known better than to believe her. But honestly, I’m just more relieved than anything. I know God protected us, and even though it was stupid, I think she needs a friend right now and I want to keep bringing her to church. I know God can turn a mess into a message. Yes, the world is continuing to get worse. But that just means that you have to continue to get better. Ask your church about “celebrate recovery” It’s based off of Alcholics Anonymous, but anyone (over 18) can go and work on any issues. Some churches even have a children’s version for your kids. If not, they will probably at least have free childcare. I don’t have kids of my own, but it’s never too early to start talking about mental health. God bless all. Stay safe out there! 😊

I'm traveling in Norman, Oklahoma, now; visiting friends. It was very cold day here. A day for hunkering down. Parking - I just park anywhere I want. I don't mind "getting the knock," even though it only happened two times last year. Not bad for 365 nights. - Once, last year, a teenager came and tried to open my van door. I said on my under hood speaker, in a threatening voice, "Move... away... from... the van." He about soiled his britches and ran away. Oklahoma has an open carry weapons law. Most men, and many women, here have a gun ready to take drastic action.

Every mother that has recently had small children got wide eyed when you mentioned touching everything adds up. Because we've taken our kids to public restrooms and played, "EVERYTHING IS LAVA!" For some reason, my son thought touching everything he could reach was hilarious so he peed behind the car door or in a bottle until recently. He's 7. Bathrooms are just nasty places and everybody doesn't wash their hands. Before they go back out and start touching everything 🤪

Just a thought. A local Arby's restaurant has bathrooms with a lock on the doors. I think you could get away with washing yourself and your hair if you came ready. You would need your clean clothes, wash cloth, shampoo, and towel. If there is an automatic electric hand dryer, you may be able to dry your hair. Otherwise, you could dry your hair as much as possible with your towel and put it up into a ponytail. Of course, you would want to do this as quickly as possible as to not arouse suspicion. No need for a gym membership.

I miss him still everyday.i just wish I had thought of buying a van when I sold my house. I just couldn’t stand to go to my house anymore with out Bill. My MIL (also a widow) encouraged me to find another man and marry again. However, I just couldn’t do that. I’ve never married again. I had a 10 yr relationship with a msn who I dearly loved, but the VA gave him a bunch of shots in one day. In about two weeks he died. The heart hospital doctor said it was the shots that caused all the blood clots He said he’s seen it over and over. The VA didn’t care Thry gave him too much. Thry just don’t care enough not to be careful. Anyway thst was 2 yrs ago I lost him to blood clots which caused him to have about 6 heart attacks in a few hours. By the time he got to the heart hospital it was too late. Very sad because I really cared allot about him. And everyone I knew including my family were used to him and liked him allots

Am glad it's so much easier here in the uk...due to the way of life here there are thousands of small, residential streets with cars parked on the streets, so any size motorhome literally just blends in - for a night at least.

There are some fellow youtubers who do vanlife and they listed a bunch of locations you can check or are friendly to parking overnight. One of them is Cracker Barrel. They said often if you go in and ask management, they will allow you to park and let you know where on the lot. There are also other people friendly to people traveling, allowing them to park on their property, driveways, etc. Please see youtubers David and Tanya, "Turn It Up World" is their channel. They have an episode with locations you can legally stay at, etc, so you don't have to drive around all night looking for sketchy places to stay.

@@Thatgirl1976 , It might not be all of them, but the ones anywhere near us have washers and dryers for it though. Honestly I'd wash clothes/shoes before wearing them even if they were from a department store based on the fact that people try clothes/shoes on. Ya know?

Wish I knew how to run a fridge in a van and hook up a sink 😮ER Parking lots are good to sleep no one will bother you. I used to fall asleep on my steering wheel after work all of the time 😂 I invested in a rechargeable tv . I get like 70+ channels and there’s some good movie channels on there for entertainment when you don’t have cell service.

I had corned beef hash and scrambled eggs for breakfast while I was watching your video- then I put the calories in My Fitness Pal and realized the hash was 400 calories!!!! Won’t be having that again.

Planet fitness is $12 a month here. Does your van have a small bathroom/toilet? My friend always sleeps at truck stops. Never a problem and very safe.🤷🏻‍♂️park close to the building you won’t stick out as much.✌🏼
