I have come to an understanding that I am not weird, just different from many of the rest. I am me.
GotSmart, I feel that being a van dweller is thinking outside the box. I can say that because of my first van conversion i actually 'lived' in 26 countries. Not on a holiday in some evil resort, but literally parked in towns, villages, cities, u shaped valleys, hill tops, etc
I got different range of emotions thinking of the experience, meeting new people, reuniting with foreign nationals from university.
Even resting at night i learnt to appreciate how the mind splits in sleep. If you listen to Matthew Walker on Joe Rogan he is a sleep expert. You can conscious and sub conscious in separate parts of the brain, like a evolutionary survival from the past. When I am inside the house, with heating, double glazing, it is disconnected.
Sleeping in wildlife you sense it all, like a homeless dog sleeping under the van.
I'm sure there is much much more to it than being able to think deeper and experience more.
