Hi everyone, I’m Nancy. I got sucked into watching vanlife videos on YouTube a few weeks ago and I am hooked! I have always enjoyed camping and solitude. I’m older (mid-50s) and think it’s time for me to spend time doing the things I would like to to before I have regrets.
I have some tools and other resources at my disposal, but I am working on a tight budget. Sadly, where I live everything is really expensive and there won’t be any bargains to be had when buying a van. I’ll be building on my own.
Welcome Nancy!
Good thinking! I did like you, but after 60! Those weeks on my own, in my homemade van really give me the feeling I’m Living.
Best of luck! Go for it!
Michael
I love what you expressed Nancy, living life now before you have regrets. I lived fulltime van life, surfing, climbing, backpacking, and going up and down the west coast from Baja to Washington state, until I turned 50. Much of my adult life.
Then I decided to get married and have a family.
Which I did. And I had to get a job, but a house, and become a different person.
And while nothing trumps having children, I became a different person.
Other than my kids, the best part of my life was the twenty years I lived in a van.
