    Does the time change mess you van dwellers up?

    I know that for those of us still stuck in fixed homes, many (most?) people I talk to hate changing their clocks. Does it have a greater impact on those of you moving about in-between different time zones or is it no bother because life styles are more flexible? Do tell...thanks.

    Caravans

    How does one caravan?? Is it spontaneous or planned? Two or more? Long periods of time or short trips? Interested to know how this aspect works. Thanks.

    Why didn't I think of it...

    Back in the day, when I was struggling within my last and final marriage, I was looking for any way to make it work. After all, we had 3 daughters and I had been divorced 2 times previously and really felt like a failure already. I actually began researching all sorts of ways that families and...

    In thinking back...

    From the time I was 16 months old and was relinquished to my adopted mother and her husband at the time, I have moved around. Thinking back about growing up, I realized that I lived in multiple apartments in NYC, went to camp every summer for 2 months from 4 years old to 12, until we moved to...

    Best adventures and places!

    Hello again! I love hearing from all you wonderful folks who take the time to write these thoughtful answers to my posts. It fills my day and head with beautiful dreams and ideas of what I have to look forward to. Recently on a podcast I heard about the 'fresh start effect' (I might have...

    Illness, accidents and medications

    As a retired paramedic, I can't help but think about worse case scenarios. Living that with people for 20 years showed me that anything can happen at any time. I also was an assistant deputy medical examiner for the state where I lived, so I helped families at the worst moment in their lives...

    Friendships and more

    One thing that I hope for with van life is a sense of community. How many of you have made lasting friendships along the way? Do you run into the same folks here and there? If you stay longish at a place, does this help to strengthen bonds? How many folks that you know that were single end up in...

    To store or toss??

    When starting out from a home or apartment, do most folks end up storing their belongings somewhere or do they simply get rid of it all? This probably isn't feasible for everyone as we may have certain items we want to keep for whatever reason. Where do people end up storing items? Thanks for...

    Do friends and family try to guilt you...

    Seems lately as I discuss the possibility of van life with friends and family, they have a way of trying to make me feel as though I am letting them down somehow or doing something that they think I couldn't handle. I am, by nature, a giver, so much of my life has revolved around doing for my...

    Dog or no dog?

    I would love to hear from all of you...pros and cons. I am currently without a canine companion, first time in as long as I can remember. I do still have a 19 year old cat though. She certainly won't be around by the time I hit the road...she will have crossed her rainbow Bridge. So what do you...

    Maintaining a workout routine

    So I am fairly nuts about wanting to move everyday in some way or another. I used to be really insane as an avid runner, triathlete, biker, swimmer etc, but now that I am older and wiser, and injured from all that stuff ;) -- I still love to do something. I walk, have a mini trampoline, a step...

    Just saying hi!

    Hi all! I have lived in Florida for many years in a senior community so I could be near my elderly mother as she became dependent on help. It happened quickly, and as a retired paramedic, it's been a trip. It's turned into 7 years, and wanting to respect her desire to die at home, I am still...
