Hi out there in Nomad land... I am both an American and a Nomad in my heart... and I am no longer state side boohoo... and right now I am not dwelling in a movable home, bawling and squalling on that one 
! ... I am a Brit with a love for adventure and I used to live in the USA... and I used to live in a van too... so anyways after a few years trying to go 'straight' and living in a static home of brick and mortar, I have had to admit I am a Nomad junkie and there is no cure for this ... in my searching for other folks with the same quirky tendencies I stumbled across Bob Wells and a few others who truly lit my fire and I watched their videos back to back for days... I really liked Debra Dickinsons insulation with the material covered foam insulation.. and saw how great a drone is for viewing the land... cant remember who I saw that with... then I watched the Quartzite meet and that was the last straw for me.. like an addict I HAVE to find a way to fix my fix and get back to the US and live... no problem except the need for a visa and the income the govt say I need to live on... so the addiction is driving me to seek a way to make this happen... a van here and there would be so cool... but for now I am dreaming and still researching the life of a true forever Nomad... so I thought to introduce myself to y'all and see whose who and wheres where and whats what here... I have everything I need to start this life but not a van yet... and I don't have solar but have everything marked on my Amazon wish list and saved for later list... so I know what I want when I am in the right van home on wheels...some of my friends think I am nuts and having some sort of mental breakdown, maybe a midlife crisis... others think I am joking.. but a good friend and my daughter know I am serious... my mom thinks I am the oddest of her children as I have always liked to wander and roam and be alone ... and she thinks at my age I need to think in terms of what I need for my old age... but this ol dog has a few miles in her before she's put out to rot in a nursing home... I told my mom I would rather go with my boots on in the hills than in my sleep in a home... so just want to say hi out there to any who read my ramblings as way of introducing me to the Nomad Tribes out there in the far West and such places of extreme heat and sun... oh I miss the heat and dryness of the AZ deserts... I am seeking disability and hope that then I can hit the road and be free ... I am researching working from home so if any of y'all know of something that would work here in the UK I would appreciate it... so now back to thinning my pack rat boxes of stuff that has no place in a van if \I am sleep laying down rather than suspended from the roof ... but maybe a hammock would let me bring more cargo I didn't really need LOL... but learning to thin out my lovely junk s always painful but always worth while once the dastardly deed is done... so see y'all later...
