Hi, I have the dream as well. At this point I don't own a van but am investing in cryptos watching my savings grow much faster than if I had a traditional savings account. I however practice the wayfaring lifestyle by driving a semi truck around the Midwest. Slowly I'm realising my dream. This year I learned to Whitewater kayak. So now if the opportunity presents itself I can haul my boat along and enjoy many standing waves located along my travels. Currently I also belong to a few kayaking clubs and can discover different clinics and trips on their various message boards. This passed spring and summer I was able to travel from North Carolina all the way accross to Montana. On my weekends off I travel to Wisconsin and Minnesota in an old pickup truck I bought for a fair price at auction. The front seat is just big enough for me to lay accross for resting. I also own backpacking gear that is easily used for longer trips where tenting is more comfortable. Whether in my pickup or semi I prepare my own meals on a small camp stove so I avoid the expense of dining out. My last biig purchase was a cooler that plugs into the cigarette lighter do I can enjoy freas fruit, veggies, cheese and meat. My dream is to travel through Colorado and the Pacific Northwest Kayaking on the many waters there. Long term, there are places in South America and Europe that enjoy the sport. For now I live frugally and purchase short peroids of freedom. Who knows, someday with the help of cryptos I may obtain long term freedom. Plan b is to become a guide or instructor, enjoying and sharing/teaching the sport to others. Thanks for reading.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, I really enjoyed reading. I feel like things are coming together for you and you will definitely be able to pursue your dream. I think that investing in cryptocurrencies is a great move, I also did a small investment this summer and I'm definitely planning to invest more!
I hope you'll share more of your journey and lifestyle, I would love to read more since I find this subject very interesting!
Fun post! Yeah, these photos make van living look heavenly. My family and I drive a big, spacious van these days. We don't have a kitchen in there, but we've got enough seats for our fivesome, plus a handful of visitors, and even some extra room in the way back for turtles and other treasures we might find. ;)
The thing I like about vans and tiny homes is the mobility. So, although the time in the van might feel crowded and cluttered inside, it is also freeing and expansive because it is wide-open outside. So I love the idea of spending summers living in the national parks, moving from the mountains, to the ocean, to the dessert, and onward, outward.
That sounds amazing! I'm sure you, your family and friends are having a great time hanging out in a van, seems like a cozy a fun way to spend time with the people, I have a feeling that it brings you closer.
What I noticed from other people's experiences while living and traveling in a van, is that they tend to spend a lot more time outside, exploring, going for walks and hikes, even cooking outside, which is amazing.
Yes, mobility and freedom to move around where and when you want to is also one of the reasons I find this idea so appealing.
If you have a post about you van life or anything similar to that, please share the link, I would love to check it out! :)
You become more and more sympathic to me dear @nikolina!! I dream about traveling in a van around the world for a long time now! Travelling and minimalim as a lifestyle are so important to met, too!!! <3 I dream about having a VW Van, model T1! Do you know them? I LOVE them so much and travelling around the globe in a mobile little hippie home is definately a life dream!!! <3 :)
I'm so happy to hear that there is someone else with the same dream! :)
Yes, I know that VW Van, it looks so cute and I can totally see myself decorating it and traveling in it as well!
We should buy one and go, haha! :D
Oh my gosh, yeah @nikolina!!! I would TOTALLY love it!! Travelling in a self decorated hippie bus with you sounds SO GOOD!! <3 I am totally loving that idea!! :D <3
Hopefully you get to experience it one day!! I'd like to try it out for maybe 2 weeks or so and just travel around. I think the best about is that you don't need to worry about a hotel. You're more independent and you've more freedom
Definitely! :)
No checking in and checking out, packing bags all the time... You can go wherever you want, whenever you want and as long as you have a place to park, you're good. :D
I think I would do the same, couple of weeks during the summer probably just to see how it goes.
There is a big section in my bookmarks with hundreds of youtube, how-to, and diy advises how to make your own RV from van, bus or even small truck... one day I'll use those favorites for sure ;)
Yeeees, go for it! I hope you'll share it with us here on Steemit, hehe! :)
I like the bus idea, I've seen some people taking old school buses or even double-decker buses and turn it into something amazing!
