    I’ve been full time now 3.5 years. This guy said everything I think too! This world IS broken. I absolutely love this lifestyle hands down!!!❤

    I especially like this layout: the table-desk across from the sofa-bed. Practical and comfortable.

    I can't wait to live this lifestyle. I'm sure having 3 small kids on the weekends will be different. I'm sure some will look negatively on it. But I honestly feel like I'll be giving them a better experience in life. ❤ Love your van sir

    People paying 3 weeks of their wage for rent? Your looking at it wrong. You should work harder and longer. Make more money. Im just being sarcastic. I agree with you. im paying 55 percent of my income for a one bedroom apartment. And at my age of 45 I am feeling pretty dumb right now. So, I went and bought a cargo van and am currently trying to grow balls to live in it.

    I totally agree to your observations that "People paying three weeks of their wage to live in a household", and that "slowing down and enjoying nature" it is an absolute gain that makes you happy (in my opinion) and also the ability to let go and also to appreciate and respect everyone else and also being thankful for your own blessings. These are some values that really puts on back to a life of contentment, satisfaction, gratitude and happiness.
    God Bless you and all those who are watching this and May God Make Life Easy and Happy for Everyone. God Is Most Kind and Most Merciful.

    There are energies found in everything in creation. But mankind has been warned not to worship the creation, but to worship Yahweh, the Ceator.
    He is the Life, the Truth and the Way. He will never leave you or for sake you! I will pray for your safe travels, and the direction that leads you to an “abundant life” in Jesus. Happy new year.🎉

    They recently got rid of the travel trailers and larger motorhome type rvs from chemainus. Looks like campervans under 5500kgs can stay but 4hrs max for larger rvs and such. New signage all over the area.

    I know Chris threw leif and Ben. And honestly he is as nice and genuine as he comes across.
    I read here people saying he seems nice.
    There very correct with that assumption. He is actually a super nice guy . I'm actually surprised he didn't mention this at all yesterday when i was talking to him lol.
    This is cool that yall got to see the van.
    If you do get to meet him you understand why people like him.
    Genuinely a good solid dude.
    Glad to see this .
