  I just turned 75 in April and bought a used minivan last Monday. Yep, I&apos;m a little scared because I have health problems but think I&apos;ll be better off outside. Thinking I&apos;m getting too old but have wanted to do this for years. <br>Safe travels 🙏✝️❤

  I sold my house, quit my job..career of 20+ years that no longer makes me happy, &nbsp;bought rural property 5 states away. I leave in June. I&apos;ll be living in my travel trailer until I figure out the next move. Mid life crisis or finally doing what I want... we shall see

  I’m a 72 year old grandma and I want to have a van just to have everything I need is with me. My sons say I’m to old !!!! lol I watch my grand children everyday . I want it for me and my cat BraveHeart. I go away for the day but I won’t leave him alone at night. That way we can go away for the week end and he will always be with me. I have a house now and that takes a lot of work. My social security will go father. Love you videos. ❤️❤️

  I will turn 54 in a month and a half. My last day in a house was March 31st. I am now living in my (pre converted) shuttlebus. About 2 hours after leaving the house, I broke down. Luckily, I made it into a gas station. Because it was Easter Sunday, I spent a day and a half at that gas station. Finally got back on the road, for about an hour and a half, and broke down, again. Luckily, I was able to coast into another gas station, where I spent another 2 days, waiting for the mobile mechanic to get me a new alternator...that actually fit. <br>Because of something you said, in a previous video, I never got upset. I just did what I needed to do, and made the best of it. You said that if you can&apos;t handle challenges, this lifestyle may not be for you. I took that to heart. I didn&apos;t expect challenges so quickly, but I laughed and said here we go! My new life is already showing me I CAN do hard things, and genuinely smile through them!<br>Thank you, so very much! 😊

  Some big tips i can give as someone who has lived on the road. Gas and food get expensive. Don&apos;t sweat the small stuff. Your house on wheels will get dirty and messy everyday. Live for the memories. Do things not because you have to, but because you can...because those are memories you&apos;ll look back on years later.❤

  Seen a few videos of chicks living in their vans and cars, and I&apos;ve noticed they all seem to have a way more positive outlook on life. I rent &nbsp;a room with roommates, but take a two month hiatus and stay at the river between rooms to clear my head and regain myself. It works.

  Remember that every mishap and fail is a future story. &nbsp;<br>Nobody ever tells a riveting story about the time where everything went smoothly and according to plan.

  I’m 69 and have been living in my 30+ yo Chevy Roadtrek (mini RV) since June 2019. My second year in I got a puppy, a red heeler who was born during lockdown and the pandemic. I love my nomad life. I’ve wanted to do this for decades, and I’m so grateful to be doing it now. It’s inspiring to see you, at so young an age act on this dream - I hope more young people who want this life go for it!
