Vandwelling in the blood

[Unlocking Freedom]

I wasn't like Camm growing up. I think it's in my nature to be a hermit to be honest. I would love to be in a small cabin in the middle of the woods and be left alone, as long as I have internet. But when I stumbled onto the idea of traveling and seeing places I have not seen yet, I wanted it very badly even though it's outside my comfort zone. The idea of being around people, but in my own space, alone, was appealing. I desire SOME human contact, but I don't like to be around lots of people (not a phobia, just not a people person). Right now I'm working on getting the RV sold so I can buy a van. Maybe the small cabin will be in the very distant future...maybe...

Kyz, Yes totally agree, being alone I think and feel much clearer. I might be a tiny bit autistic, but being around noisy, moody, emotional, people gets on my nerves. I think for being able to reset, by van dwelling, makes em a much better person for others. I am more patient and understanding. Aside for the money saving bit (which i loved being able to give £10,000 to my Dad), the rest and recuperation,. there is something cerebral about it.

I also get that from cycling, my thoughts are present.

When I go to my girlfriend's place, then see that nasty flat screen television in the corner of the living room, I do not like the bombardment of advertising, I even noticed the political programming in televised drama's, all the way down to "Britain's got Talent" with Simon Cowell being extremely pro Israel. I have seen it transform my partners consciousness.It is upsetting to see people unable to experience genuine true life experiences.

I support the cabin in the woods, but you still need a hot shower, perhaps a cat on your lap whilst reading a good book.

The people like us who sort of fled society, live a different way. After 3 years of living in many countries abroad in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Far East i got a good understanding of how things are. I feel connected to the Earth in a way. It gave me the free time and space to do research and now I work in that field.

I get to the low point a few times during my travels. that lonely empty feeling, but I occasionally visited my partner,or she came to be with me. I think van dwelling helped me all in all.
