live in a van

Once my roomie and I get back from the US we’re saving to go live in Europe for a year or so .. Maybe I can knock this over then if I don’t get nabbed or killed ??

survive on my own. see the world… and live in my van. This is something I can’t explain I just want… possibly need.

I basically want to be free from the financial responsibly of “having” to make rent every month. As for showering I’m going to use a gym. I have a job and a good one at that. But “Having” to do something automatically diminishes your freedom and my freedom is really valuable. to me. So I am on a mission to be free.

So what is the worst thing that can happen to me if I loose my job. I’ll still have shelter.

Also, to make it easier and more practical they have these new generators that are coming out that you can use indoors. late 2007.

When I was down in Florida this last fall working at a fruit/veggie stand and living on the beach most of the time, I met a couple of guys that had been traveling in their van for about a year. We started hanging out pretty regularly, then we were both leaving town about the same time, so they invited me along. It was a blast. They had bunks set up for them, and I was given the tiny, tiny spot on the floor, and would lay with my feet up on the seat.
As we went up north through the Carolinas, Maryland, and eventually into New York it was soooo cold (it was November) so showers weren’t top priority, but thankfully we had lots of good couches to surf along the way, if for no reason other than to catch a shower.

the pic is of my two friends and the van, btw

I lived in my van for 4 months in Melbourne in 2006. It was cool. I had a job and everything. The worst thing is showering… But you can always get free cold showers by the beach. Not so fun in July!

we took my uncle’s campervan and camped in all sorts of places across europe, lots of memories :)

i’ve always wanted to do this, i’m part Romany & therefore have a serious dose of anti-establishment nomad spirit. unfortunately the timing isn’t quite what i hoped for, as it seems i may soon find myself homeless & have no choice about when i do this!
