Same thoughts here, while driving around from place to place, country to country in a van. The castle you posted is actually something I am looking for 😅 But I don't thinks it's a twenties thing, otherwise I need to check my birth certificate. A few years ago I loved the freedom and the vanlife. Although it's changing, there are a lot of campers & vans these days and we are not always welcome anymore. It can be challenging to find a nice place and a good mechanic from time to time. The last few weeks I am traveling in a Natural Park area, and mostly I spend the night in a little town to avoid the fines. The beautiful peaceful spots from years ago, turned into busy dirty spots. It's still possible to find stunning spots, without noisy neighbors. And I am more than happy to have the experience from the past 3 years. But yes, where is home? I know I had the feeling sometimes, and one day will find such a spot again...
I am definitely looking out for a chateau, yes, therefore moving still feels right, you get to attract the things you want more easily...😁
And I completely have the same feeling about the whole "camper-vibe" yes, there are so many and a lot of negative reputation is around, meanwhile mechanics are becoming more about pressing buttons than the actual skill. Tough it depends so much on the country, I imagine eastern Europe in a Van would be very different from for example Portugal. Personally I really found myself questioning how much the freedom of living in a vehicle weights over the restrictions, which right now did definitely shift for me.
Are you looking to stop moving any time soon, or is it something you still feel "at home" with, for now? And are you also working while moving? ...if you don't mind sharing😊
