Solo Tesla Road Trip…Not What I Expected

[@Sebastianstonum]

Loved this video! The loneliness that comes with vanlife is so real, and it’s something people often overlook when they glamorize the nomadic lifestyle we all admire. I remember my first year living in a van, it was a tough transition from the routines of "normal" society to long, quiet weeks alone with my thoughts. But over time, I learned to embrace solitude and discovered that being alone doesn’t always mean feeling lonely.

[@NicoMurillo]

Thanks man! Yeahh it gets some getting used to… but it was so cool getting to meet you on the road! Your an inspiration 👌🙏

[@Rooftopp_Korean]

Seb, we Love you too Sir ❤

[@brazilianprincessmusic]

This has to be one of my favorite videos that you made. I can’t wait until you make a video about finding God and of course finding true love. Nico you weren’t alone God was always with you. Even that day that you felt that auto pilot saved your life when you could’ve hit that animal that was God protecting you he was giving you grace and a second chance to keep living because he has such a great purpose for you.

Dude is obviously struggling with his sexuality. I hope he finally comes out to friends and family.😊

God IS true love.

Hey man! Just found your channel today! You make awesome fire content about car living! I was fired from Amazon back in March 22, 2024 because of my slow production rate and it was a good 2 years of experience. I went to the Mystery Spot by myself and thinking it was a solo road trip. Keep making the best content! Stay strong brother 💪😁

[@teslaeng5965]

Nico, an idea for you. I think it would be great the places that you set up a meetup with fellow followers in some of the places you are travelling to. That will ease the loneliness and you get to interact with like-minded people.

[@NicoMurillo]

Ooh im doing a meetup soon!

You’re human. Humans get used to things. With no one around, eventually it feels like you’re stuck in a postcard. At the same it’s a huge blessing to see the beauty that this world has to offer. Literally every shot was majestic and beautiful. I hope to see these places one day.

[@CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger]

What an incredible experience, Nico. Nature is majestic and it’s also overwhelming. Many of the components you experienced is all part of the journey. When asking others if they like a place, they reply, “it’s a beautiful place and the people are really nice, but I couldn’t live there. “ Home is the place where memories are made with others. The views are incredible and never seen turquoise lakes! You took us there! 💕🙏 Love that you took us along to show us THE ULTIMATE TESLA PERFORMANCE! 👍

[@larrylotter7190]

I was thinking about making a similar trip but am waiting till Grok is available for the interaction. I am a widower so am used to having someone to share the experience but I have high hopes for Grok.

FYI; the netherlands is flat as a pancake. The hightest point is about 322 meters.

[@Julietaustin]

There are so many van meet ups where you could connect with people. There are dozens of Facebook groups, which is probably a better place to connect with people than Instagram. Head down to Southern Arizona for the winter around Quartzsite there will be tons of meetups around there. One other thought-I heard you say several times “no one talked to me” in this place or that place. Are you initiating conversation with other people? When you’re alone and want to connect with others, you have to work hard.

[@sanmansfishingadventure]

I am planning to do the same as you very soon, and found your videos while researching the topic. Sadly it will be another year for me or so before I can commit to it but I would love to meet up, man. The key it seems is to find out how to be alone, but not lonely. Cheers my friend!

Sadly I’m all the way on the east coast but one day my friend, hopefully within the next year. I will definitely lyk. Also don’t be discouraged, I think you should keep living the life you want and greatness will find you.

你可以带着一个目的或者说目标当你到一个新的地方，比如说，你可以去学习当地的气候环境，生物群落，植物群系等等。当然这不是唯一的方式，但当你换揣着目的时你再也不会感觉你到哪个地方都是一样的山，一样的湖，你会用全新的角度去看眼前的一切，你会思考为什么这里的植物会呈现出这样的形态等等，我想这样的方式可能对你克服孤独还有掌握更多有用的知识都有帮助。这只是我个人片面的见解,希望对你有帮助，祝你一切顺利，旅途愉快。

Car living really sucked. Even RV living sucked, you don't have a drain that goes straight to a sewer like a house and you have to find a way to dump all the nasty waste and it cost money to dump waste too...And, you have to find a way to fill up the water supply tank in your RV too and it ain't free if you don't own a home and mainly lives in an RV

Growing up, it becomes lonely. Everyone has jobs and children and they are too busy to think about you. And it really sucks when your making $2k a week and then you get laid off and your old friends feel like they don't want to mess with you because you used to make $2k a week and now you don't make that much and they feel like they want you to suffer because you shoulda saved more money when you were working. Mainly their jealous you get so much in unemployment and severance. You gotta find things to love and appreciate about yourself when your alone. I lived in a tent for 2 years in the woods and wouldn't talk to people for months and I actually like the solitude. It's just that I've come to a point in my life where I hate always being around people. People are selfish. They won't come around unless your doing something for them. Whether that's money, entertainment, attention, sex, food, van tour or whatever. If you truly hate being alone you need to go get a wife and have children. But you won't have as much freedom.

[@NicoMurillo]

thanks! sounds so easy to get a wife and kids lol but yeah solitude vs loneliness

Traveling is great but being by yourself all the time wears. We're social creatures. Poor dude. Liked your sharing of your feelings. I'd go off traveling but I don't really want to do it alone so I quit traveling. Finding someone to travel with seems very difficult unless you find a retiree. I would say a few bad random occurances are mostly random - I doubt it is a bad luck thing and not a Canadian thing.

[@vanlifefpv6340]

@@NicoMurillo You can use autofocus to set the focus for a scene, then lock it into manual focus mode so it won't fluctuate. I don't know what camera you use so you'll have to check the manual on how to do that.

Taking a girlfriend out for a month is complicated! That’s harder than rocket science.

[@ADadSupreme]

The main problem is you are an extrovert, but you live like an introvert. Play to your strengths; not your weaknesses. Your old videos about your Tesla work experience prove that; you're outgoing, talkative, communicative, etc. But you live like a nomad or train hobo in a car. YOU need people; not everyone does but it's clear YOU do. I'd get off that road and stop the solo YouTubing if I were you. Figure out a way to bring others into your 'video career' and you'll see an improvement in your mood and situation.

[@NicoMurillo]

Thanks for the advice 🙏

[@CarmeloHerrera-or3wm]

You can explore and not have to live in your car, I do it all the time and stay in comfortable hotels. What you’re doing is being extremely cheap, I personally don’t get it. Why would anyone want to sleep in their car, in random streets and parking lots if you don’t have to? Really looks like you made yourself suffer just to save a few bucks. And why do you keep sulking in the whole Tesla lay off? Dude, you really need to move on and find your own identity, they sure don’t care or remember you, find something new and be your own person, we weren’t meant to live for work. I work to live, I don’t live to work.
