Hi Everyone

[SukhaSeeker]

Hi Everyone! I'm a 60 year old single mom of 3 grown assed adults that are almost out on their own and self sufficient.  I live in Ontario Canada.

I've been researching (and blogging - isn't everyone?) nomad life and van dwelling as my retirement plan.  Now it's turned into my 'semi retirement' plan if I can convince my boss that I can 'work at home' permanently.

I always dreamed of retiring into a little trailer and travelling around in it - I didn't honestly know it was a 'thing' until recently and, that it was a BIG thing until watching Nomadland.  Now I'm laser focused on making this a reality for me - even if it's a little far off.

I've started scouting out for a van, and while I do that I am eating up all the videos of various van builds and I'm just so excited about the whole thing!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and thanks to everyone posting here - I think it's going to be great to chat with actual people doing this while I work to join you.

Lisa

Welcome!!

Thank you!  I agree Canada is beautiful - however the climate is not always so beautiful so as well as travelling Canada, I plan to spend a fair amount of time exploring the U.S. (hopefully by the time I get to that, the Covid crisis will be in the rearview).  There are so many more options for warmer climate in winter south of our border - otherwise, the only possibility for a less than frozen winter experience is British Columbia - also beautiful but quite a journey from Ontario and not at ALL inexpensive.
