Something I'm assuming you may know, but will share my experience anyway. I lived "Nomadic" until age 11, then got my first apartment at age 16. My entire military career was nomadic, not including the numerous overseas deployments. Nomadic in nature as well. The longest I've remained at one residence is my South Dakota home, close to 10 years. We're seeking a final retirement home base to downsize to. Being part time Nomads is a preferred lifestyle, despite aging and the ailments that accompany getting older. Therefore don't buy too much to fill up the," home base." Having less stuff makes the periodic moving and transitions so much easier. Example, at least 80% of the residents in our rural subdivision rent one or more local storage facilities. Despite having two-car garage and out buildings.

Congrats! I met you a few years ago in a Colorado Walmart. I purchased a 429 sq. foot park model 2 months ago and I am also keeping my van. I had the exact same reaction about having an oven and the larger fridge . Totally relate to the echo. You made me laugh out loud! I never had heat, a/c, or running water in van, so I marvel every day at the conveniences of the simple things. Love my sticks and bricks. I will try traveling in the warmer months and see if it still appeals to me. Nice to have my van as a getaway option. Good luck! And the bath mat was also on the top of my list after my first shower.

Congratulations !!! I think a 12 month reset will be great for you and you’re near family. The size of your rental is perfect for getting a real idea of how much space you want and need. Check out Craigslist for furniture also Ikea for rugs, drapes and hardware. Also check out the ooops section, it’s downstairs near the cash registers. They often have good priced items and you might find a score. I’m really happy for you, you seem really at peace with your decision and for me that is the best mind set for making good decisions. I hope find the perfect place for your tiny home.

I think traveling will be so much better with a home base. You can have local doctors, vets and family. You will be so much happier but still give us our travel fixes.

Congratulations! I am excited for you! It’s nice to have a shift every so often. I am excited to see what the next 12 months has in store for you. Also, for your bigger furniture, try a furniture consignment shop. It’s second hand furniture in great shape. The one we go to in McKinney delivers! Good luck! Can’t wait to see what you come up with. The bar stools are super cute. Welcome back to Dallas!

It's a very normal evolution to find a home base after traveling full time for several years... that home base looks different for different people, but good for you for finding something that works for you while you sort out your longer term needs.

I am so glad that you made this choice. I think after so many years on the road with so many things that occurred, a change was a good, no great choice. I am so happy for you for this choice. As you have said there are several van travelers that have made some changes recently that have given them a home/van life. You have gone so many places in the past. Good memories. Time for new memories !

My family inherited a small cottage s few blocks from the beach. My husband and I lived there for the first 2 yrs we were married. It is only 600sq.’ Also and it is actually 2 tiny bedrooms with wardrobes because it was built in 1929. It has a tiny bathroom with a shower stall between the bedrooms. A decent kitchen and living room with a fireplace. It does have a wrap around porch which helps a lot. When we were kids that was where us kids slept. 600 sq feet is very livable. This sounds just right for you for now.

In our area we have “New Leaf” used furniture stores. You might search for used furniture stores in your area, I wouldn’t have thought they existed until a friend opened one here.

I think every van life dweller goes through these stages. I finally decided to do this after two years of travel and I'm even working at a building which feels weird but back on the road soon!

Congratulations on taking this next step and securing a "home base". After living in my 24' Class C full time for 5 years, I've finally purchased a park model (sort of like a tine home) as my home base. It's only 400sf, but has a huge covered patio area and an 8' x 10' shed. I LOVE it! But, what I love most.....similar to you.....is having a real kitchen again! I love the full size refrigerator and the full size range/oven with microwave above. There is plenty of storage and closet space throughout! Best decision I've made for what works for me. I'm (soon to be) 71 years old, travel solo and enjoy (most of) what life throws at me! I'm in Arizona! Maybe our paths will cross one day.....it would be fun to meet you in person. Keep on keeping on!

Congratulations, Amber! Ten years ago, I moved from a 1 bedroom apt to a 3 bedroom house. Because I didn't want to spend a lot of money on pictures, I went to Thrift stores and Goodwill on half off day and found enough pictures, shelves to make my new house a home.
