meeting others

[Rhonda]

Hello People!  I live in Hampton NH.  I am in the process of planning my life on the road next June (2019).  Haven't found a van/bus to purchase yet but am hopeful I will and also looking for someone near me that has a similar fever to share the travel bug!  Looking forward to my future and hope to meet many of you to exchange experiences  in this way of life.

Hello Rhonda; I'm new here also!  I wish you all the best on your new journey.  I find myself about to experience homelessness for the first time in my life.  It's scary, but the thought of meeting so many great people alleviates that fear a lot.  Having someone share the travel bug with you is a great idea!  Hope you find someone you get along with and fills the journey with great memories.

Hi Rhonda. I'm in North Central MA and getting back on the road in October. I don't have much free time as familial responsibilities keep me keep close to my mother's home.

Be patient looking for a van. The rust factor in the New England area makes it tough. It took me 2 years to find my van. It spent its first 12 years in California

Shoot me a pm if I can encourage and enable.

Hello tav!   Though Saturdays are my long days I wanted to reply to you and look forward to chat, emaiils, and share a sit at the beach sometime.  Everyone here have been so welcoming and encouraging and warm.  I am so happy I found cheaprvliving.  I feel I can do this more than ever and my fears are normal my doubts lessen.  Lets keep in touch especially since you are right down the road.  I live at North Beach! Rhonda

Welcome to the forum! I recently took the plunge about 3 weeks ago. It is hard to find people to meet and talk to once on the road. More importantly I found no difficulties with the mechanics of living out of a vehicle BUT other less frequently discussed aspects really came in to play that I ignored to some degree while planning. So I'll try to enumerate a few from my experience in the past 3 weeks.

Timing. If possible jump in about a month before a big meetup like the RTR. Its been 3 weeks for me and I have at least a few questions for the experienced nomads. There's a meetup in CO in 2 weeks and I'm seriously considering attending it.

Managing time. I found it very difficult to locate my next stopover on my way west. It took a while to choose for various reasons. BTW I left RI to get out west. You'll find Walmarts and rest areas are about the only choice until reaching Nebraska, Dakotas, etc.

Finding out what you want to do with all the time you now have on hand. Some like to start YouTube channels, or work odd jobs to fill time, and some can just sit back relax enjoying the lifestyle.

Hope your plans are a success!
