I love this channel. It makes me think that I'm not crazy for wanting to live in a van. Everyone near me thinks I'm out of my mind.

@blue_willow48 2 жыл бұрын

your not crazy. It’s my goal. People look at me like I’m crazy when I say that’s what I want. Luckily my mom is supportive. She said if she was younger she would do it.

At 57, a single female, I've been secretly dreaming about becoming a nomad for quite some time. Both my sons are grown and live 100 plus miles away from me. My mom was here in the same town until she recently lost her battle with cancer. Although I have a wonderful living situation in a subsidized senior complex, the town is very rural. Medical services, other than standard, nurse practitioner issues, require at least 100 miles journey. There's only one market and it's very expensive. Then there's more positives... I live in this rural town on the shores of a gorgeous lake... Negatives. It snows. It snows a lot in the winter. In fact we had snow just two weekends ago. Not feets worth, but still. It highest temperature in the summer is an average of mid to upper 90s with an occasional rise to low 100s. I just think it makes more sense for me to go mobile so I can be nearer my children, nearer medical services, and I can always travel back here when the weather is ideal. Camp on the Lakeshore.... Yep. It's doable.

I am minimalist as well but could not make it in a small space like this Ford ( I am 6,5 feet tall as wel ) Awesome time with you guys !!! Thank you !!!

I also have a Transit Connect, and they are wonderful. So easy to drive, able to go off-road almost anywhere, and stealthy in the cities, just another little delivery van. Thanks for this video... her layout is excellent, and I will copy that back-door shower rig. My only caveat would be that it is too small for two people. But perfect for one!
