    Katie, I live in England, I’m 50 next year, I was married with a mortgage by 22, I have 3 kids and I adore my family, but you are so right, live your dreams. I have. 22 year old son and I encourage him to travel, life is so short, there’s plenty of time to “settle down” or not. I love America and you are living my personal dream! Have fun, stay safe, make wonderful memories 🥰 xxx

Thank goodness I had my service dog with me. July 15th I got an apt. But I wish I would have had some of her tips that would have made it a little easier. She is from NY they all talk fast. I have family from RI and Mass and they all talk fast
      I pray I never have to do it again. I was never afraid I prayed alot

      @veronica carlson I'm not convinced. Feel like she's putting on a front out of pride. Campervan - plausible - a car is NOT a good vehicle to live in. She has a full time job, why would her dream be to live in an impractical space? So ridiculously impractical, she produces 'how to' videos to explain how she copes with it. What next.. UA-camr living on a motorbike? "Oh gosh it's always been my dream living on a motorbike. Here's how I build my makeshift roof to sleep under, here's how I deal with getting robbed and here's how I shit into a bag. That was my goal in life, so I gave up my apartment and decided to sleep on a bike instead of in a nice comfortable camper van"?? There'll be a back-story to this ladies life goals I'm sure...

      Dromomania is a medical diagnosis, which is best described as pathological tourism, or a ceaseless desire to travel from one place to another. Sufferers are usually so tightly grasped by these impulses that they simply cannot resist and resign to a life of constant traveling.

    • @mariam_4me
      @mariam_4me 5 років тому +189

      the subject suffering from dromomania is not guided by the desire to travel: he does not feel like going to exotic countries, to visit sights, to see the picturesque corners of the planet. That's why you don't see videos about actual travelling, she just says she likes to travel but in fact she needs moving all the time. It's a mental problem.

    This is so great. I lived in my car for about six months in 2011-2012. It was hands down my favorite "era" of my life. I had so much fun and so much freedom. I totally identify with the idea that it really pushes you to be creative and resourceful. I remember once I was somewhere with nowhere to take a shower, so I bought a couple gallons of distilled water at a 24 hour supermarket and pulled around to the side of the store and washed my hair in the parking lot with a jug if water. Taco Bell was my go to spot to freshen up/change because they all have single user restrooms right inside the door (rather than having to walk into the restaurant).
    I miss it a lot. My husband cringes to hear me raving about when I lived in my car because it sounds so scary and depressing to him, but it was an amazing experience.

      @kitgames1174 4 роки тому +2

      @veronica carlson I'm not a control freak who wants to decide what others should do with their lives, I don't need that responsibility, it's their life to succeed(Whatever they decide succeeding is for them) or fail, not mine. So if a 16 - 70 year old is living like this and it's their choice to do so, more power to them. She's not alone, you should watch CheapRVLiving some time, he interviews lots of older people that live in vehicles/RVs by choice, many who also have their own UA-cam channels.
      Getting into debt for a college education and to live in sticks and bricks, then getting married and having children severely limits your future choices. Living debt free with a steady income in a vehicle gives you more choices, not less.

    • @kitgames1174
      @kitgames1174 4 роки тому +3

      @veronica carlson Living things live. Inanimate objects exist. What you think living is is irrelevant for everyone but you. Debt means that you do not have more money than you owe. She had a full time job doing online customer service, and she makes money doing UA-cam videos, so she has money. And because she doesn't owe rent/mortgage, utilities, and everything else that can come with housing, she gets to keep more of that money she earns and save, unlike a lot of people renting or paying mortgages. Often on top of what they pay to own and maintain a vehicle.

I don't think it's one to be looked down upon, I think it's fun and even courageous. I haven't been able to do what you do because I am a caretaker to my mother, but oneeeee dayyyy, I'll get to live in my car (or campground hop) and travel. I think what you're doing is amazing, and I hope to watch more of your videos in my free time! Side note, I also have severe anxiety that may even border on the agoraphobia/PTSD line (I've never been formally diagnosed, I just know that when I'm around people I have heart palpitations and other horrible symptoms) -- I think it's awesome that you talk about your mental illnesses. I also think the manner in which you talk about them, is respectable. I wish you all the best, I've really enjoyed your content thus far.

    Wow. I don’t know how I came across this, but it’s inspiring. I’m sick of the monotony and drudgery of life and wondering “is this all there is?” “What else would I be doing?”

    I had a friend who did exactly what you are doing and I found myself being so envious that one day I went to work and by the end of the day I bought a van and started taking test trips. Not sure I could do a car but the freedom is indescribable. My van fits in a parking space and gets 24 mpgs so it isn't a baby RV. Knowing you can just go and stop when you are tired is crazy, crazy awesome. Not needing a hotel allows you to roam and stay as long as you want and not go broke. I have made so many friends and these days it is so easy to keep in touch with anyone on the planet. So when I am passing through a town it has become extremely easy to have company. I do have a home but I am never there and all the "Normal" people in my life have asked me all the same question you get. So you aren't alone and it is truly cool/fun to go to work and then go explore a new city or state after work. Good luck and be safe.

I've been doing as much traveling as possible while saving up in the meantime to make moves out west, all the while getting a lot of passive questions about my plans. This video was just what I needed to remind me that I don't need to live a life that everyone understands. Much love from a new subscriber!

The key is to keep busy with jobs, friends and gyms...lol. I had no issues sleeping in my 1985 Camaro. It was like hitting a reset button. The next chapter...buying a house and becoming a mother. Another adventure !!

    If you want life like this your just like me and my fiancé. There are air bnbs you can pay to rent a spot in there safe backyard or driveways usually around 10-15 a night, which still is crazy cheap and your in a safe spot. You can book for 1 day or 20 days come and go as you please. Usually they Allow you to use the house during the day too between 10 and 10 is what my last place was. You can also rent out a spot and if you don't have a car set up a tent. There great for someone who wants to do what your doing. Plus then your safe and secure and never have to worry about someone bothering you, you get to shower, you get to cook food and save money on groceries, you get too relax and you can sleep inside or outside your car or whatever you want because your in a safe closed off area. My last place was a driveway that lead behind the house with a big backyard that a bunch of people were sleeping in there car, someone was even from Australia touring the country doing it, they had gotten a van and put the seats out and put a bed raised and plastic buckets under full of food and clothes and necessities and slid them out when needed and slept on the full bed frame mattress and all no box spring it would make it too big ( high) in the back. And then fronts seats wide open to drive, they stayed 2 weeks here in NJ, and were off too New Mexico after. So Yea check out sleep in your car air b&b's !!

    Glad you enjoy it!😊 I love traveling and used to travel a lot! I even used to keep a suitcase in my car at all times (especially Summer) so I could take of wherever at a moments notice. It was great!😊 I didn't live or sleep in my car bc that wouldn't be comfortable for me, but you're far from the only person who does it in a car. I've heard of all kinds of people doing it. 😊
    My Grandparents used to travel North America in their various RV's (they also had a winter and summer home so it was a bit different) and they had a wonderful time!
    An RV would be more my cup of tea, especially since I have family and have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia etc that make a car not the preferred choice for me. I have always wanted to check that out for awhile though!😊I would like to travel around that way for awhile! I used to want to take a several month long trip on my Harley, but that's just not happening since I very suddenly came down with the RA.
    I made up a game a boyfriend and I used to play on the weekends (esp long weekends.) We would pack what we needed, throw it in my saddlebags and pick a direction and ride until we found cool things and we stayed in hotels, motels or inns. I am so glad I did that bc I can't ride for hours and hours and hours anymore and you really never know when or if something like that will happen. I got RA young and very suddenly and there was no family history so I am glad I didn't wait for later with so many things like that!😊
    Be safe and have fun! Glad I stumbled across your channel. I look forward to seeing where you go!😊❤

I felt a little stigma and embarrassment when it came to bringing it up to others but personally was very content with my situation. I traveled alot in cars growing up going to sporting events and always thought It would be fun to live in my car and save a lot of money. I did not travel as far as you but I delivered pizzas which made it easy to make money and maintain a chill lifestyle. I could go on all day but I am glad to know It wasnt as crazy of an idea as it seemed to others. It really is liberating and not as uncomfortable as one might think.

I lived in a few different cities, usually finding a residence for women with rooms and meal service. I would sign up with temp agencies and do office work, while also exploring. I took public transportation, so did not have a car unless I rented one. Those experiences were priceless, and it does increase your resourcefulness and confidence.
