1. your just kids, so It's understandable. Get on a jet and see Europe that's if you have a Passport.

2. The 'purpose' thing is the key to it ALL: including ANY lifestyle from the suburbs to an ocean-going yacht. Not any easy one to solve; and, oddly, the more you have (eg I've got unlimited money) the harder it is to find 'purpose' in your life. (Probably explains the sky-rocketing suicide rate among young people.)

3. Great video, I’m 44 with a wife and a small dog, we are about to get our van and build it ourselves, we own a beautiful house 🏡 paid for, so our plan is to get the van ready so we take a cool 2024 summer long trip, but just for summer.🫡

4. Nomad lifestyle is not modern day thing. Stories and ideas romantice what it's like to life nomad lifestyle, but when nomads were real thing hundreds and thousand years ago, it was life-style of tribes because they had to move for two reasons. Prey moved to new lands. And animals needed new ground to feed upon. Survival was their purpose. And horse has less issues than cars if they are taken care right. That's why they were still used in Afgan war.

   Nomad lifestyle can be great, but it's for people who have high income and personality that loves being in new places all the time. Those who want future, family and community wont find it from bus/van/boat lifestyle.

5. Well I can’t wait to go! Sooo any Vans or trailers for sale, Let me know please😀

6. I'm 68. Traveled with work in the military and job all over the world. Live in Alaska and moving to mid states. I have found the best thing for me is retire in a small house with a big shop. That way my expenses are small but I have the space to build and play. I live on an island and while beautiful I so miss road trips to the southwest during the winter. We have about three miles of dirt road here. And being next to Kodiak it rains ALL THE TIME. I had my adventure here and am ready to settle down. (Sort of) Trying to buy a place with a few acres so I can have a place for van and car people to have a night off and a place to stay really cheap. I am not in it for the money just want to meet folks and pay the bills.

7. I think van life is good whenever you feel the need to go. If you are young and have no obligations then go. If you are old and can still do it then go. It will be different for everyone. The main thing is to know hygiene is the biggest problem you will face if in a car or van. The younger you are the less it will probably bother you ( more for those around you) the older you are the more important it will probably be. You will adjust to some of it. Just know that having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night can be a real challenge depending on where you are. Especially if you are older and can't wait. Watch videos, study, learn the tricks of the trade but don't spend so much time worrying about it that you don't commit and go. If you are going, start off light. Go in a paid for vehicle that you can walk away from if you have to. Have a Go Bag ready if things get too hard and put money on a prepaid credit card to get you "home" wherever that may be. This way you will relieve a lot of the stress because you have a plan if things go terribly wrong. And for Pete's sake don't depend on someone else to save your ass if something goes wrong. Be prepared to do it yourself before you ever leave. Buy real books at second hand stores and yard sales for when the internet doesn't work. I have lived in a van, Class A motor home and a 4×8 plastic trailer 5 feet tall that looked like a portapotty on its side and made myself at home in all of them. It's an attitude. It's being adaptable. It's not crying because you didd't get your f&*&^^%$% latte this morning. Be tough and enjoy the world. Get on the road and talk to people and they will help you adapt and overcome. If you get extra money on the way save it. You will need it. Collect road Atlas's. You never know when you can't get cell reception and they give you a lot of info. It's also easier to visualize your trip if you look at a real map. You will see things on it you may have an interest in. Have at least two weeks of food and water on board. Have freeze dried meals in your Go Bag if things go to crap. (Go with Mountain House or Peak) Know how to start a fire if things go to tits up. Have the capability to purify water. Have what you need to stay warm if you are going into cold weather country and everything breaks down. Wake up and smile every damn day. You are probably one of less than 1% in this country that will (ever) enjoy the day because you aren't tied down to anything. Life is short. Make the most of it.

8. I'm genuinely happy living in a van down by the River. I can travel to a state that marijuana is legal and roll do bees in my van down by a river. 😂 😂
   Of course I'm retired. I've chased all my dreams. And I figured out that the only things that really seems to matter to me is good people, friends, outdoors, Great sleeping, and the best eating. I cook fantastic meals. The only reason I move from a great spot in the woods, is because I'm forced to. Most places around here only lets you stay 14 days. And you have to move. So I do, to another spot. And do it all over again. 2 spots a month doesn't cost much gas money.

9. I love van life ❤

10. Vanlife would be fun for a weekend or two every month. LIVING in a van would suck.

11. For someone who wants to be a traveler for a couple of years, I worry about the random "what ifs". Like what if someone broke in and stole your belongings, the vehicle breaks down and your unable to get a new vehicle, or the wheels were stolen. That's the only thing holding my fiance and I back.

12. Because your living outside societies norms, and this means your dealing with a society that would rather you not exist.. you really have to to live in a tiny van disguised as a work truck.

13. Spending half your holiday/vacation "driving" is not for me.

14. You guys gave a great explanation!

15. How you guys afford to live such a life? Have you give a serious thoughts about your future and what will you do?

16. It's all bullshit all these Vans are overpriced with all these people getting out doesn't matter

17. Throughout my 40 plus years of being a nomad on the American continent and the world at large, I tried owning a house three times and ended up selling it to go back to living on the road. Now that I am in my mid sixties, I, again, purchased a house but I have a camper on my 4×4 truck so that I can spend time traveling in the boonies of the Southwest where I live. Being a nomad can be both a lifestyle and an identity, I am a nomad by nature and figuring out how to be sedentary is challenging. Van life became a fad, and a fun one, but, like all fun things, there is an end to it. I hope that you found the next dream and are having a fabulous time living it!

18. just build one and use it whenever you feel like it. You don't need to travel across the world with your soulmate and get rid of all your belongings and former living space to be " happy and peaceful " That's just some pintrest new age bullshit

19. Love it ❤

20. Great video, I would love to do that on my motorcycle I work IT and it can be stressful as you sometimes feel like you cannot get away fully, I really love your video very good!

21. Like a lot of things, the new wears off.

22. Have never lived the van life, but I completely understand. I am a military brat who joined the military. After my 25th move with my husband, I craved just being still. Now that I've been in one place for 6 years, I want so badly to be a nomad. I miss traveling from place to place, but I don't miss packing and unpacking. Unfortunately, my spouse doesn't feel the same way. He is quite content living rural in the desert.

23. For us, we have a Ford ranger and a ten meter caravan.
    This means, we can drop the trailer and go out for a trip somewhere. Or even a weekend in a motel.
    Just like a regular car.

    Also, we're retired. We are happy not having to pay a lawnmower guy to now the grass for the dog to crap in.
    We're also retired. Our kids have kids.

    We did the big travel around new Zealand in the first year.
    Now, we travel for an hour, and just,,,,, potter.

    Next stop, the demitia ward, or a tomb stone. Which ever comes next.

    Kids can have what's left.

    And you know, if things get difficult for us, we'll find a place to park full time, put a deck and a ramp at the front of our trailer and make it a house.

24. I am not sure if you can pigeon hole every member of society into all of those "phases" I mean everyone is different and some are more decisive and follow through with decisions more than others.

25. How much is one of these modified vans?

26. Yes, It's called growing up…… snowflakes

27. Thanks for this very realistic perspective and even talking about the different stages of this journey. I really want to do some version of this lifestyle, but I am really trying to do some preliminary research into it to get the most comprehensive perspective on it.

28. Basically what is happening is that all of these people who discovered the van nomad lifestyle on socal media randomly decided it would be cool to try and they could get lots of followers and likes along the way….. but now have realized they did it for the wrong reasons.

29. YEs our hearts always desire want what we dont have

30. Just a thought. Wanting to build a successful van building company and dogging on van life might not be the best marketing strategy. Haha
