It's been one year since I moved into my van. So, I take a moment to look back on the past year. I highlight some of the good times and some of the not so good times. It's been one hell of a ride! #vanlife #vanlifeuk #tinyhome

Thanks mate, oh Gaz I was a wreck when I first started, the saddest point in my life, but the community and adventures built me up and made me tougher than ever, so I have the van to thank for that 💪

@@Nomadickangoo: "oh Gaz I was a wreck when I first started". Yes, that's the way we learn to follow the path we were born into. No doubt your marriage was doomed from the start. As time went on, your relationship was on the way to separation. Believe it or not, that was for your highest and best good from the beginning. What better way to get you to live in a van than "impoverish" you into doing so? We learn through pain and suffering - always have - nothing knew. Aeschylus wrote (2500 years ago) "He who learns must suffer even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart and in our own despair and against our will comes wisdom by the awful Grace of God." PS: I'm a Medicine Man and a Buddhist. Oh, by the way, the best way to find your path of life is by doing EXACTLY what your doing. This is what were Budda's last words; "Be lamps into yourselves. Relay on yourselves alone. And do not seek reliance on external support. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp. And seek salvation in the truth alone. Do not look for assistance from any one of other than yourselves." And of course anyone new to this would ask, how can I do that? Nomad, you made a great first step. That is, living by yourself. That means no one to distract you from listening quietly while you meditate. The key is quieting the mind in meditation. Answers will come after when you least expected them to. Nomad, be well be wise, and stay the course.

I feel your pain, mate, same thing happened to me. Been living in a Ford transit connect for nearly 2 years. It's been a real eye opener from breakdowns to break ins but i think I've gotten over the worst of it. I'm an electrician and travel a lot for work, so the van has been a godsend saving me a small fortune on accommodation. Hopefully be getting a bigger van in a couple of months, but I'm gonna miss my transit, we've been through thick and thin and I'm not ashamed to say I'll shed a tear when we part ways. I'm not sure if I ever want to live in a house again or get involved ina relationship. I'm relatively free now, saving loads and making plans. All the best in your journey, mate.

Damn man, I've not been broken into... (yet) I'm glad you're enjoying your van life. I also recently got a bigger van, which you can check out on the channel. And I totally know what you mean by shedding a tear when you sell your van, I was so upset when the kangoo went 😢

I'll be moving into my Touran (similar size to a SWB Caddy) in a year or so. But I've had the time and experience to build what I want for full-timing. After a truck, a Fiesta and two previous builds in the Touran I know what works and how much storage I need...but I still have slightly wonky cabinets!
