    In this episode of my vanlife adventures, I'm on my way to my next destination when I get tired and need to find a place to sleep for the night. I stumbled upon a walmart that allowed overnight parking, thankfully. So I called it home for a night and then went camping in the Pisgah National Forest! - TTTHEFINEPRINTTT

In the next couple few months I'll have saved up enough money to quit my job, travel, and start making documentaries.

    Semi-retired van lifer here. I did this for about 2 years and can confirm, this lifestyle can be ROUGH. I had a shower and composting toilet in my van (not a gaming rig or a desk) so I had creature comforts and even then, the loneliness was brutal. You have to find and stay in a community and have a routine, otherwise, you'll crumble unless you're super introverted. That being said, I learned more about myself and about the world in those 2 years than I would have in decade. Not only was it worth it, I felt like I needed to do it to really find myself. I turned to van life because I felt like I was rotting from the inside out having lived in the same place for my entire life. Just one of many ways, albeit extreme, to pursue personal growth.

You can never fully stretch out in more than one orientation, having to move constantly to different places just to sleep and never know if anyone will ask you to move on, not being able to shower/go to the bathroom traditionally and having to rely on yourself if you break down in remote locations are more than enough reasons for most people to not want to do it long term.
      Also worth mentioning this is after you’ve likely spent at least 10,000 to have something closing in on the same stratosphere of what you see in this video.

I’m in a 2014 town and country it’s small but it’s enough for my needs with an rca cable setup and a dvd player for movies and snes games.

I paid about $20,000 for mine and had $6,000 worth of modifications done. it is from 2004. Today the garage that made the modifications for me is ready to buy it for $30,000. Sure you can find some for $10,000 but they are wrecks or mediocre fittings.

At the park you can hike up the mountain. Lots of steps, though, but it's beautiful.
