RE: Why I chose the Life I'm Living - My Journey of becoming an Artist

in Natural Medicine4 years ago

if a relationship survives van-life, it can survive anything

Yep, sure can! I'm happy with my man in a van or a truck or a caravan or whatever small space we find ourselves in. We may live in a house now, but when we met, he lived in a mobile library. We lived in a horse lorry for some time too, and a bus, and a tiny caravan in Wales. We still have a bus in the garden in Australia, adn we're doing up a Landrover 130 with a camper on the back with dreams of travelling again soon. I'm done with teaching, that's for sure - it's so stressful. I'm so glad you decided to do what you did.

I always feel happy when I meet people living this life - not 'hashtag' van life, but actual van life, warts and all. As long as you dont have a macrame trapeze and a cactus I'm all good.

Haha, I actually had a little mint plant, but she didn't survive the winter, poor thing :/

Sounds like you two had a lot of adventures! Really cool! I hope you'll be able to travel again soon. We probably will too. Our house-sitting job is coming to an end eventually.

So you decided to quit teaching? I was a teacher's assistant for a while. Working with children can be very rewarding, but it's so stressful! I was definitely not made for it ^^
