    The thing I am most thankful about is that in 2022 I will be debt free for the first time in my life. I have been working hard for the last few years at paying off debts and will realize that dream in January.

    I am thankful that I almost completed a van build and went camping twice. I am also thankful that my son is moving in with us in February and will be caretaker, repairman and rehabber of our sticks and bricks. In exchange, he will be recieving a swank, well-appointed basement bachelor pad. And homecooked meals.

    After moving to Moscow in October 2020, I actually had an incredible year working and living in this vibrant city, and I’m so grateful to be able to do what I do, and travel slowly and really explore this fascinating place! I also flew home to England to see my family for the first time since moving abroad which of course has been great! And finally, I’m grateful to have (almost!) reached my next UA-cam milestone by the end of the year!

This year we have aquired a kitten and puppy, Charlie is now a fully grown cat and the "dog named Boo" form the song, is a 3 month old little villan At just turned 70 and a younger wifey we are planning on hitting Europe again in our self build Vivaro.

I want to continue being mindful of moments when my heart/mind recognizes real joy. Some are as simple as seeing 5 birds lined up on my porch or a grandchild saying “I love being with u Grammie” or a moment with friends as u just have. Loved your Christmas vlog.

    Merry Christmas. That was fun to watch from a former trailer traveler.
    You asked what we are grateful for this year. I have three things
    1. A local restaurant opened that is a craft kitchen. I forgot what real food tasted like, but more importantly, one of the chef owners let me sit on their couch so that I could draw. I had quit art decades earlier. I did a colored pencil portrait of Bowie.
    2. The instructor at the local art league let me into her oil painting sessions. I paint pop art rock stars and love it.
    3. Went out to see a local band and rediscovered my lifelong love of live music.
    2021 was the year that I came back to life 10 years after fighting off late breast cancer that nearly took me.
    I just found you on Instagram. Been subscribed here for quite awhile.

    Great to see you in Austria. Twenty years back we did a coach tour called Snow-wonder to Austria. I remember realising that cuckoo clocks were based on real houses, and even better, our hotel was a cuckoo clock. It was snowing, cold and wonderful. A lovely introduction to Austria/German breakfasts, goulash, and continental food. That was the start of Europe tours several times a year, touching all European countries and beyond. Best wishes for an enjoyable new year.

    You seemed to be surprised over the campervan parking in Austria? In Austria and Germany that is very common, almost everywhere (except the very touristy spots of course) there are free parking spaces for campervans, "Wohnmobil-Stellplätze". Some of them even with toilets and showers. There are of course only guides to find them.

    What I have appreciated in 2021 is all these wonderful travel and van life travel videos while being hold up at home. I take care of mom who is 90 and my dog who is 17 so even if there wasn't COVID, I can't go anywhere. So, watching you all, has kept me from missing my travel adventures by letting me see what's out there. And, I have been so inspired by "van life" that I have ordered a van. Here in the US you just can't hardly find them any more, so what you have to do is order one so as to get a head start on those waiting for them to show up on the car lots. I'm hoping to get mine at the earliest window which is in 6 mo.(fingers crossed). I loved your video today with Tania and Adam, so glad you have been able to share time with them and share it with us. Happy travel adventures to all of you and will see you in the New Year. Cheers Beans!

      Oh wow, that's awesome! Wild spots are the best aren't they 🥰 hoping to find many more good ones around Europe!

      @@TravelBeans anything from a layby to Cliff top roads does the job for me. Obviously Cliff top coastal roads are preferable. I just love nobody else being around...zero light pollution.....big skies....tranquility....and nature.
      Enjoy your travels! Xx
