I've been following this site and have been encouraged and inspired by the personal stories in the videos. Thank you all.
A bit about me - As I was sitting on my sofa the other day, pondering why I pay the ridiculous amount that I do for a place that serves basically only as a roof, kitchen, and toilet, I thought, "What a waste!" So I pondered it all. I've owned three houses. Each time I purchased a house, I told the realtor the same thing, "I want a huge screened-in porch. If it comes with a kitchen and a bathroom, that's bonus, but I want the porch." So I started looking for a place in the country that was a simple shack but with no restrictions by an HOA or government so I could build a basic outdoor space. Somehow, that led me to links on tiny houses and ultimately to this site. For the first time in a very long time, I felt my heart leap with anticipation. I've not slept now for a few days because all I can think about is the opportunity here in this new lifestyle. I actually did think about driving around the country when I bought my van in March of this year. Unfortunately, it didn't occur to me to buy the type of van that would be more suitable for vandwelling. I have an Odyssey, so it's been great to see the minivan campers I have seen in the videos. Thankfully, my job can be made quite mobile, but it may take me a little time to arrange the logistics. I'm moving out of this place into a smaller one while I prepare to leave. I'm from TN, so if any of you live here or are passing through, get in touch with me. I'd love to meet you.
If anyone knows when the next RTR is, please let me know. I've searched and haven't found that information yet. I am thrilled to know I won't be needing to book airline or hotel reservations for that trip !!!!
Thanks to all of you for your inspiration, encouragement, and instruction. Bob and all those who make this site and the videos possible, a huge thanks to you !!!
