    I'm going to be turning 58. I am so grateful to see you young folks living an alternative lifestyle. We really did not have a choice while growing up. Probably because we did not have UA-cam to show us there are other ways of living. We were told by our teachers and our parents that this is the way it is. So that is what we worked with. Never ever define your life by an age. You can have a baby between 16 and 50. It's been done. Or no baby at all and that's ok. :). You don't need to own a home either. To me freedom is the life to live :). Feel the essence of who you are and follow your desires. ❤️

    I understand but as one who traveled around Europe in my 20s and has only one child a little later than usual, I can say that I miss the people (kids) that could have been part of my life. My son, now 33, is amazing! I can only imagine how much I would have enjoyed knowing other kids, seeing every part of their development, and having the good fortune of being with them through life.

Today was one of those days where Berlin didn't look too good and welcoming, you made me remember why I'm here out of all the places I could be. Thank you. And happy birthday!

    At the risk of sounding condescending, 29 is still a great age to do what you are doing ...and IF you decide at some point that kids are a part of your journey, you have plenty of time to figure that out. I was 36 when I had my first and 38 when my second came along. I just wasn't ready before then. My kids are now young adults and I'm still young enough to enjoy my life.
    Happy belated birthday! You've got plenty of time. Enjoy yourself.

    My dear Dana. Old is a concept. Some people are old at 25, and some people never grow old. At 60 myself and my daughter Moved full time into our self converted Sprinter van one month ago. I already know that all the household goods in storage will be there for a long time or getting sold sooner than later. This lifestyle was inspired by a 2 month long van trip through North America and Mexico. You are only as old as you want to be. Have fun and safe travels

    Awe, Happy Birthday! (Belated). A great day to have a birthday! And it would be completely appropriate to celebrate in a costume...(Next year). (:

    I'm 28, and Dana's words about aging and being where you are and having it be good is really what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you Dana. ❤
