The Monotony of my (van) Life: some Home Truths

[@art2voice]

Hey its (almost) a Taurus (edited😉) 👍 Happy Birthday Jack and Congratulations for Your achievements. Nothing worse for a travelling soul than beeing grounded. Thank You for Your entertaining boredom - safe travels ❤🙏😇

[@jackvandean]

Indeed. Just frustating. But hopefully over now ... btw, I am a Aries (wink)

[@art2voice]

@@jackvandean Oops, Youre right indeed.... Taurus starting on 23rd 🙈 Now that Dean is back, everything will be fine I hope 💪👍😉

[@hammockinparadise]

Though my weather is completely different (California) I can absolutely relate to the frustration of waiting to take off and get on the road. It seems either there isn’t the time with work or there isn’t the money because something unexpected happens. I’m leaving for the Sierra Nevada mountains in California next week to camp in my Jeep. Happy Birthday! So glad your van is fixed.

[@insandity1]

A very Happy Birthday!!! So glad you have had Dean returned and will be looking forward to whatever adventure you decide upon. And for myself I did not find yor video boring at all 😊

[@jackvandean]

Birthdays are just the beginning of another 365-day adventure. Thanks for being a part of mine! Maybe it's just me - finding myself boring haha

[@greybeard5774]

Have a beautiful Birthday Jack .. and what could be a better gift for that very special day than getting your freedom back !! 🍰👍✌

[@jackvandean]

Getting my freedom back sounds like the best birthday gift ever, I'll have to see if it's up to scratch haha

[@mikeainsworth5840]

Belated happy birthday Jack so pleased that you and Dean are back together again. Hit the road Jack.......

[@jackvandean]

Belated birthday wishes always arrive fashionably late, just like Dean and me hitting the road!

I'll make sure Jack doesn't let the fame get to his head ;)

Happy Birthday Jack. Hope you’ve had lots of cake. Well done on becoming an official content creator top marks. Fab to see that the JVD partnership is reunited. Just like donkey and shrek you can sing that song “ on the road again” wishing both all the best.

[@jackvandean]

The JVD partnership is back in action! Just like Shrek and Donkey (just less green), we're ready to hit the road and create some awesome content together.

[@renatoscutube]

I have been working a lot and watched you video only today. Happy birthday! Wish you have great new adventures with your van and a lot of good things...

[@jackvandean]

Time flies when you're working hard, right? Thanks for catching up and for the birthday wishes!

[@JonTanOsb]

Happy Birthday, Jack. And congrats on your KZbin thingy and getting Dean back on the road. I remember, back when I lived in the city and depended on transit, the three bus situation. The phrase that came to mind, watching you waiting was, "A watched pot doesn't boil." I love that rug, such great a place to lay and meditate. :) I'm so glad you got the call. Now, get out there and avoid The Knock. ~ Jon in rural BC, Canada

[@jackvandean]

Your kind words truly made my day, Jon. I appreciate your support more than you know.

[@JonTanOsb]

@@jackvandean And I appreciate your videos. :) I'm now on the Mediterranean Diet for my health. I immediately thought, I'm eating like Jack. :) Jon in rural BC, Canada

[@jackvandean]

stay away from the paella - bad carbs !! ;-)

[@JonTanOsb]

@@jackvandean Only fruit, veggies, eggs, chicken and grains. No sugar! But enjoy your birthday cake. My son will be 44 on the 25th. Jon in rural BC, Canada

[@jackvandean]

keep me posted on the results - both physically as psychologically

[@TimAnnear_1961]

Happy Birthday Jack. Being bored at times is a natural thing that happens to us all but you have the ability to grab Dean and push off whenever you want. Doesn't matter is it's 3 months or 3 days because each journey nourishes our souls so let the sun come up and great each opportunity as a bonus.

[@jackvandean]

Birthdays are like checkpoints in the game of life. Another level unlocked!

[@TimAnnear_1961]

@@jackvandean Just a mere number! I'll be 63 this year and really don't care about it. I've just had 3 days away next to a lake in Victoria (Australia) and I've planned to revisit how I pack my car to make it more efficient. Live life Love life!

[@AtHomeInTurkey]

@@TimAnnear_1961 Haha same here 61. Week-end warrior in Turkey and loving it.

[@jackvandean]

sounds pretty awesome. And who would have thought that packing a car/van could be such a learning curve ...

[@AtHomeInTurkey]

Nice to find another old fart on the road with a channel. I am more of a week-end warrior. But hey, as long as you have fun right? Happy travels from Turkey!

[@jackvandean]

If you type "man in a van, vanlife, boring" a woman is showed in the top results. Is it a woman's world, now?

[@jackvandean]

Well there you have it !!! I tried "finding myself" through the KZbin seach engine ... Also "man - solo traveller - vanlife". first 10 results were scantily clad women ! Honestly !!!
