I went to my first vanlife gathering, and here's how I felt.

The vibe you are describing started at Woodstock my dear. Individuals came to become a group. Groups grew into little villages of unkept happy people. All dancing, hugging, sharing food and love ❤️. And the bands that became legends played all day and night, up to the early morning with Hendricks Star Spangled Banner guitar solo. Waking up thousands, alongside thousands, who hadn't slept at all. Enjoy your times at these special and unique gatherings. For you have become a part of this modern age version of what's going on✌️!

I've loved following your and Bryce's journey from the otherwise of the world (and now Paco's too). It's been great to see that things you've experienced, especially the recent positive ones. You seem like such a wonderful person and you deserve all the happiness. I agree with your message of "just go". Either you'll have a good time, or you can leave. I think that applies to a lot of things.

This was a wonderful expression of peace and joy! I can tell you that vanlife gets in your blood and never really leaves you. Ask me how I know….. I Lived in a bright yellow ford econoline van back in the 70’s , Before it was even called vanlife or campervans. Enjoy it! And keep the tradition alive! Thanks, Key West Rick🚐🌴

I have been looking forward to a life like that for about a year now. I am heading out tomorrow to purchase my first bus so I can convert it into my home. Hopefully this time next year I will be out there living this kind of life and meeting new like minded people.

Okay chick, I hear you, I love your soul. You're loved without even meeting each other! I know of you bc of abe. And I never met him, just a few sentences here and there throughout the year. So for real, I dig tf out of your vibe and this honesty you bring with this video. There's a life out there really like that🥹 heck yes ma'am. Keep on keeping on chick, you're a gorgeous inspiration💚💜

So amazing to see your evolution over the past few years, and the happiness that's come with it. 🥰

[@MetropulosAubrey]

@Therealnomaddiaries can't wait for Cashew to meet the pack! He needs to learn how to dog. See y'all soon!!!!

[@MelissaJohnson-s7k]

I'm 54 and I have always wanted to do this live in a van ! I'm I to old ?

[@Therealnomaddiaries]

You're never too old!! I know a lot of happy 50+ year old nomads who are still rolling!! ❤

[@aaronriedel5372]

Good video! Is it still the plan to do the "walk" again next year?

[@Therealnomaddiaries]

Thank you so much!! I am! I'll be starting the Green River trek in August. I've got a lot of training to do before then. ☺️

[@SaraSimpson-shygirl1285]

I want this traveling life, but can't get one step forward to get me there rn no matter I try or effort n

[@PunisherSM]

Stop finding reasons why you can't, and focus on what you can. Identify those road blocks, and start knocking them down. You got this! ❤

[@Therealnomaddiaries]

It's a hard transition, but do what you can to save up for a reliable van, consolidate your stuff and keep only what you really need. You can find work on the road using coolworks.com. You got this. ❤️

[@AshleyLynn-c8s]

Brb going to sell all of my belonging and buy a Rv 😂, seriously though I’m happy for you. ❤

[@Therealnomaddiaries]

Doooo ittttttt 😂❤

[@serenityjewel]

I get it and thank you. I needed to see this. What gathering is this?

[@Therealnomaddiaries]

This was Vansgiving right outside of Joshua Tree 🥰

[@serenityjewel]

@Therealnomaddiaries I heard of that one. Hopefully I'll be able to go next year. I'm hitting the road in a few weeks. Scared but going anyway. How do people find out about meetups? Is it always through social media?

[@jaygold4467]

Real women are at home taking care of their husbands and children.

[@Therealnomaddiaries]

I don't want kids, and my partner travels right along side me 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@lincolnshackelford6361]

Who says that’s what really women are doing? I’m her partner and we travel together enjoying this life while we’re in it. She takes care of me greatly and I’m happy to have her in my life.

[@CreatingTawny]

Absolute divine timing meeting you. I loved being around you 🫶🏽💗 I knew I already loved you since being friends on Facebook for a few years! But to actually experience this gathering with your energy around was special!
