Hey all to reply to some of you.
I lived in the US of A for 10 years. Moved there at the age of 10 and moved back to Europe one month before turning 20. I live in the windy city and later moved to the sun shine state which I miss very much.
I currently work for a huge American consulting company and I work for the IT department, sadly I cant work from home or the road, and I need to sit behind a desk 8 hours a day.
I have a girlfriend that I have been with for 4 years and have been living with for 4 years, well until now since I live in a Van
she travels with me over the weekends and we also have a 4 year old dog named Amik meaning the American.
Jaromir Jagr is also known as a traitor to some hockey fans after jumping teams
Otherwise, boondocking is very easy here if you have a Van. Theres lots of construction vans all over Europe, so parking is not a big issue at all. RV is a different story though, I considered getting one but we dont have to many stations here where you could empty and refill your tanks, so it might be pretty darn complicated in Czech republic. Germany is a bit better but still not great.
We don't have stores like Walmart where you could park over night. Some stores are opened 12 or 16 hours, but I never though to park at any of these places. I prefer to park as I would park my normal car, my black tinted windows and small curtains do a very good job at keeping the van private and not to much light escapes when I watch movies. The nice thing about Europe is the fact that I can go to any country I want without dealing with visas and all the other crap, I just get up and go. Leaving for Germany this Friday and Italy and Slovenia in two months actually.
Money wise, the income is a bit lower here than in the US, however the living is a lot cheaper. A 3 bedroom flat can run you about $400 and the food for a month about another $100. Prague is full of Americans and British that came here to work and save money. They spend most of their cash on beer though
The T4 is amazing, I dropped quiet a bit of cash into repairs but she runs very smooth, so far a very simple set up inside, bed, table, plastic shelves and that's all. I will post a picture as soon as I can, otherwise I went for the lightest set up as possible because of fuel consumption, at the moment I do about 8 liters per 100km...I have no idea what that is in miles but around 44miles per gallon please correct me someone.
Camping is possible everywhere cowboy, Europe is still mainly nature and sometimes its 10km from one city to the other with a small village of 5-10 houses along the way..more nature than cities
Oh, and hostel was horrible and so was Euro trip, though Absinth is very real and legal
