I love my van and it feels like home. I clean by ways of a wash basin and I eat on the go or cook on my engine/hotplate. They keep trying to get me to buy an apartment or move in with them.
Hey, if that is what makes you happy then go for it. You have to realize though, that not many people could be happy like that. Your friends will try and talk you out of it because they don't understand why you do it.
Being different scares people. If you are not like them they will want to change you, because your differences make them suspect that you might be right and their way is not.
Before I bought my first boat at 22, I lived and traveled in a VW van. Winter in Squaw Valley, summer in Death Valley.
Then I got smart and bought a boat. Then and I could go anywhere on earth that the oceans touched.
That was over 44 years ago and I still live on a boat, presently anchored in Prickly Bay, Grenada.
Your friends are being rude. It's your business where you live as long as you properly are able care for yourself, it should be fine.
SHIT!As long as you don't have to panhandle to takecare of your needs,then fuckin GO FOR IT! and tell all the JEALOUS BITCHES/BASTARDS to FUCK OFF!I've lived on the streets for nearly 2yrs at one point myself,and as long as you can find a area where the cops and others won't bother/harrass you,I say it's a great way of life myself.FUCK what the hell anybody else thinks.
my friend lived in his car. he smelled very bad and didn't wash his clothes or shower as often as he should've. very un sanitary. and multiple times he got confronted by cops when he'd be sleeping in his coupe at night. although if you end up showering once a day, and don't wear your shirts and underwear more than once per wash, i could see how it'd be fun and okay living in a van.
When I was walking home one day this week, I was thinking about how my life might be improved by living in a VW Camper. I'd have to learn to drive (and convert it to use bio-ethanol) but I'd save a fortune in rent and could live in any neighbourhood I wanted day to day.
You're living the dream. Good for you.
