Im 35, lived on my own mostly since 19, i love it, my partner likes her own space too, been together 6 years and never felt the need to cohabit. Ill leave that to those that feel the need to follow the status quo. Keep doing you Mark
I enjoy your thoughts and outlook on life, you and Sally have found a way that works for you, and you both are lovely people. I lived in my van for four years until the rust killed the underside. I currently have a small adventure van while I work and save for my escape. I've been single for a long time, and that wasn't how i thought life would work out, but I'm genuinely happy and make the best of life. 😊
Hi mark , I’m new to van life even tho I spent a Few years on the van ,strange how the less baggage and possession ‘s you have the more humble you become , your a great u tuber 👍
Mush i enjoy watching your channel. Enjoy looking out your windows as you drive around Pompey. Reminds me of home as a Pompey lad up north and you are 3 years older than me. You talk so much sense and i can reflect on my life.thank you mush
My home Cornwall, even now I'm from Surrey, originally. I've lived here 50 years oldlove it. Yes, van life is good in many,many ways but tough too. I'll give ya a wave if I see ya in kernow. All the best, dude 😊
M8 you where right the first time cause if you don't Love yourself then you want allow anyone else to Love you take care my friend 🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴
Hey Mark. I love this video you can have the best of both worlds because life is what you make it. Your settings such a great example to so many people. I wanted to offer you something back in exchange. I'm really pleased to hear your hands have improved. If it's not something you do already, Sally could massage your hands using even kitchen oil as long as it's done gently it will make a big difference. ❤❤
100% agree, I can imagine how you know and cherish yourself with your own personal understanding and relaxation. I'm also doing UA-cam I like the understand and directness of your channel. I'll try to follow you even though I'm seven years old ahahah
@@MadMarkvanlife no Thankyou my friend. You opened my eyes through your channel. I now live full time in my van and love everyday!! Feeling very blessed myself.
Hi mark, cool lifestyle. Single guy was gonna go to australia and work on a 2 year contract, melbourne. Was thinking about staying in a van to save money and be able to travel around a bit. Was thinking how do people use bathroom, not to be to graphic lol
Hi Mark hope your well. I did listen deep within to what you were saying and hopefully understand what you were saying . My guess is you&Sally have a mutual understanding and it works really well for you both so why fix something that's not broken. I'm happy for you that your UA-cam channel has grown due to all your hard work and dedication. Most of all it's showing others about alternative living and what you truly believe in , while inspiring others . Life is what you make it that's for sure. ❤🙏✌️
Your thoughts are just like mine buddy. My own time is great🎉. I sold my house and move in with my partner...li hated my house so I rented it out for a while. I should have moved straight into a van but that was a bit tricky 15 years ago😢. I'm 67 and now laying plans to go vanlifing😊 Mÿ son and daughter live in Cornwall and they have space for my van if I visit 😊
Really happy for ya mate. Good for U ! Been living in my car since the beginning of covid. Relationship breakdown. At first I thought my life was over as i had £20,000 of debt too but actually it's not to bad my debt is gone now. Am trying to get money together for a van but I'm a parent too so most of my money goes on uniforms, food, clothing ECT for my kids. My only downfall from a car is I have had some idiots trying to be bully me I suppose. They used to follow me around and putting fall beams on trying to shine through my window. Then bit of aggression from them. I just changed my locations. Then it ended. I do need a van though for privacy as that probably wouldn't of happened.
agree Mark .. working outside in all weathers takes it's toll. 😖 you're almost in the place most of us want to be in, not having to work. 🙏 good luck to you mate and keep the videos coming. 👍
Stop living your life for other people, certainly resonates with me. But as you said Mark, only each individual can change their life if they wish to change. No one can do it for you, I think we all get stuck in a rut. A uncomfortable boring existence, but change is hard sometimes. Nice philosophical chat, thank you Mark.
I absolutely need space Mark i have a special needs son, and I adore him but man I just need to be alone, I dont feel alone , ever, just love the quiet time to do my reading, 39 countries in my younger years some ive spent long periods of time, sending hugs to you and sally, and hey I just love all your clothes, you are the beanie man...but i am in canada so its a bit different clothing wise cheers mate..
No one is more deserving than you keep living your best life, Im kinda living my vanlife dream though you as im stuck in the matrix difficult to break out but im trying.
. I reckon many male vanlifers have had a 'final straw' episode. . Maybe a divorce or separation......men find it hard to move on & start again. Withdraw from society even. . Then an 'awakening '......discover themselves again. Then realise their past'life' was,always unachievable in the long run. . Your previous vids, interviewing Vanlifers, was good. Any chance you could do a few more.....let people see there is a good future for them living as you do!
My out is the same as you, its a van, ive begun shopping and making considerations. Pity im tall going to need something larger to stand up, your van is cozy mark and very stealthy.
Hey Mark, I’m in Sydney Australia and watch your channel. It’s like hanging out with a mate who has a similar philosophy. Thanks for sharing your life. Keep cracking on and have a good. Cheers bro
Looked like you were going real deep at the end of it all pal I've just put a vid on our channel about me thinking about giving normal life up and getting my own van stay safe
Hey mark I messaged other week there .. I was up aviemoore with my dog and van visiting a cousin I haven’t seen in years .. I was at the free car park space at castle Roy .. you could put a donation in if you wanted to.. it was lovely the snow was falling and it was deep.. I felt young again ..I’m 41 but absolutely loved been on the road stopping at different places .. what you said hit home about staying in the same house with the same person … it resonated with me .. I seem to have that problem too.. staying with someone day in and day out.. it’s the mood swings I can’t handle with someone .. when they get up moody and start on me because they are angry or upset about something then start an argument over nothing which then ends up a break up… I think 🤔 I have a lot of thinking to do as I have a van in my driveway all done up by myself .. I put a sub charging device and lights in followed by a diesel heater and lined it all out.. and other bits and bobs .. I also am a tradesmen (joiner) I could work and travel.. here’s a little tip for you mate.. if you go on rated people website you can change your location i e postcode and different work comes in from different areas .. just a thought man .. best wishes buddy ❤
Your welcome mate I go in rated people when I visit my son in Lincoln city .. I live in East Lothian near north Berwick place named aberlady .. rated people is easy money until you have a go you will see it can be small jobs to big jobs to massive jobs .. it’s actually handy for people like you and me who love traveling about etc .. stick in pal 👍🏻
Praise God, you enriched mine, love ya ! Prayers for tbe UK, the US loves you and Jeremy Clarkson ! Prayers for Jeremy, he has had 3 hear attacks. Wildly petitioning God for him, he is need on tbe earth and greatly encouraging, a prayers for a great miracle for his health. Amen
Love this msg Mark so easy to drift and live a lifestyle your not 💯 happy in …. I own a house no mortgage yet choose to work away and find myself more relaxed staying in my van and happier , weather was terrible last few days but teddy bear bedding I was snug as bug 😁
Good vlog once again Mark and you work more now doing this pal yer it's not physical but it drains you and thousands enjoy it stay safe stay warm and well
Mark use organic castor oil on them. I’m a bricky and suffer similar sometimes. Apply 3 or 4 times a day enjoy. Keep doing what your doing, enjoy watching you loving life.
Im sure you can hire a couple young men, and manage, it will pay you more and longer ! My sister was a house cleaner, I had a word from the Lord about her doing that, her hands were in great pain , I begged her cleaning partner, but no one could convince her, and God wanted to ease her life and make her wealthy. She kept on , eventually she began to have big health issues, un able to diagnose kidney emergencies, then one day she had a hard time to breath and bam ! Stage 4 cancer all through her body and in 21 days she was dead.
