    These are mine and my husband’s friends! Jesse was my husband’s roommate for a long time. We love these guys, and we miss them since we aren’t nomads 😂 Love seeing them on a channel I watch a lot!

    What an amusing midwestern accent she's got! She's got a fun, lively energy, while he seems very laid-back and quiet - they are an interesting couple. I like how their van is laid out, but I would've kept the bathroom.

      Thank you so much for the kind words! We make money by working seasonal jobs or just stop in cities to work when we're low on funds. We try to live frugally so we can be on the road longer

      Yeah I actually went to high school with him back in the day. We had an art class together, back then I noticed he had a pretty cool creative spark, but it looks like he has developed that talent nicely since then.

    • @janicebennee6180
      @janicebennee6180 Рік тому

      Haha 😂 she moved into the van when she was a kitten and we slowly built up trust with her. First she was leashed, now she free roams but we have a Bluetooth tracker in case we can't find her. She stays close! She doesn't get the zoomies inside too much, although she has A LOT of energy when it's a rainy day

    Be careful not to overload the under storage compartments and watch the light switch does not get bumped on. Its a fire hazard especially if not led bulbs .

    You were working 40 hours a week and decided you needed to do something different? Most people I know
    (including myself) have worked 50+ hours a week as a norm for years! Hmmmm. Guess I’ve been giving too much to a career.

    • @petewittko6001
      @petewittko6001 9 місяців тому

      To be fair, personal investment is the difference between a job and a career.
      They had jobs. You have a career.
      I'm sure you have contributed to your career with an expectation that it will repay you in the form of a comfortable retirement. For many, that is no longer a viable consideration.
      A sad reality.

      You don't have to be retired to live this life. I work as a substitute teacher during the school year, live out of my SUV and sell jewelry and other craft items at the Flea Market and have more money in savings now than I did when I was working a full-time job.
