    Hello from Washington

    Welcome! I am also in Washington. It is a wonderful state to live in and to live in a van, in! I wish you both Grand Adventures!

    Extended Van Vs. Regular Length Van?

    I regularly drive my 15 passenger van into an underground parking garage and park it in a standard parking space. I also unpark it. If the cars behind me don't pull all the way in, I have to do a 26 point turn but I am able to get out of the space without harming myself or others. That being...

    Once, flight was unrealistic. Belief is all.

    What Happens When You Become Too Old?

    What the Front Door is with all of the rest of you? Advice about how to die? What would this life be like if we would embrace our Elders and treat them with the respect they desire, as long as they desire it? I know I don't want to spend my last frail years wondering..... Just sayin'

    What Happens When You Become Too Old?

    Come and travel with me. we will hook a mini camper up to Joan and roll along. I don't have my own "Elders" so I am in the market to adopt. Sort of a Co-VanLiving situation.

    Dang Punks...(Sigh)

    This makes me wonder if, anywhere to be found is a magnificent protective film for windows? I have such a thing on the screen of my cell phone which protects it from the awesome life I lead while providing a clear and brilliant view of my screen. Is there in existence such a dream material which...

    What happened to "I Love You"

    Some people, I love. I love my partner but differently than I love my Mom. I love my dog, but I don't LOVE my dog if you get my drift. So in lieu of trying to explain the quality of each kind of love I have added the "bacon-o-meter". I love you like bacon is truly high regard in friendship and...

    Too much stealth? Sad story!

    Lots of people have no one. I am a person with no family and with my nomad lifestyle, I could be missing several weeks before anyone noticed. It feels sort of lonely and also liberating. I just put all of the info I want 1st responders to know under the ICE contact in my phone. Check out this...

    Associating with the homeless

    Almost nobody thinks of feminine hygiene items. There is a serious need for these things among the homeless. That being said, I frequently give money no judgement. Not long ago a woman approached my van at an intersection and asked for money, she said outright that she was dopesick. I gave her...

    Judgements

    A lot of people think I'm irresponsible and crazy for living in my van, for choosing not to cost very much, for deciding to make a small footprint. A lot of people have NO IDEA how I got here in my life. As such I have NO IDEA what motivates others to speak to me or of me in a negative way. Nor...

    Judgements

    Hey Bitty, about a year(ish) ago I posted some words about my house electricity set up and mentioned what I had, and I said what I still needed. Another member sent me a pm saying he had two of one of the items I needed and if I sent him an address he would send me the item. Magic* People here...

    "Stealth" rooftop shade possibilities

    Hey Bitty, No need for shade now but the next hot day we have that you want to drive 30-45 minutes, come to Tacoma. Its about 30 minutes from SoDo. I will take you to shade. Be fun to meet a fellow vandwelling Homie anyway.

    "Stealth" rooftop shade possibilities

    Hey-Man, I live in Tacoma, often described as a suburb of Seattle...But we are in fact a thriving city in our own right! Tacoma or more specifically Chamber's Creek Golf Course is where the big golf tourney was last year. That golf course is built right on Puget Sound and was specifically...
