I have been hanging around the forum for some time now. I guess I better finally buckle down and introduce myself and my wife before I get hogtied and drug behind a van.
Here is our story if you want to hear it or not.
In the last year or so, we both have decided we are sick and tired of living the rat race. We talked a lot and finally decided that it’s time to escape and start living the life WE want. Not the one society tells us we have to live.
I’m an artist, photographer, entrepreneur, software developer and pretty much crazy. My wife is into crafts big time and wants to start her own online business. She is working on that now. Oh, she is certified crazy. We both plan to stop working in brick and mortar businesses and move to working online only. We are about 70% of the way there.
Our plan is two fold. We originally wanted to buy a school bus and convert it into our off grid home on wheels. But, living in the big city we ran into trouble finding a place to work on a school bus economically.
So, we decided to buy a van and convert it first. Then we would travel the country just living. Once we stumble across the perfect school bus for us, we will then purchase it and start that conversion. Who knows? We may decide that van life is where we need to be and stick with that. Only time and adventures will tell.
So, here we are. We just started shopping for a van to convert. We live in South Florida. Once we have our van and have converted it, we will be heading west to see the USA.
I’m in my 60s and my wife is in her 50s. We are pretty much hippies at heart and are ready to meet new and exciting friends across the USA.
We have decided to use a chase car throughout our adventures. Currently we have a Nissan AWD Rouge. We will be using it as the chase car for the Van. If we do end up going the Skoolie route, we will use the Van as the chase car and sell the Rogue.
That is our little story.
