Hello Sara, I do enjoy your videos very authentic, can I ask a question, what work is it you do? is it completely online. I have watched these kinds of videos for years, hopefully build the courage up to do it myself one day, but wonder how people get an income and fit it in while living in a van, just if there is an issue one day say no electricity or something else I'm sure an employer wouldn't be too happy so I'm assuming you work for yourself.. sorry just being curious if you don't want to answer that's ok :)

Yes would be very difficult indeed if you had a stomach bug and needed to go frequently and urgently. Perhaps in such circumstances you could book into a hotel.
