Indeed! And in BROWN! Good grief, if it was in RED I perhaps could have looked at it without getting rid of my breakfast

LOVE this. Increasingly thinking that this is the way to go. Minimal shaite, just all you need in a single spot. Go anywhere. Do anything. No rent, no electrickery. Gym contract for showers etc. Minimalism for the win.

If you are fine with living like a dirtbag, then vanlife could be for you. But most vanlife people end up moving back into a house again. Or going back to crash at their parent's.

 

I reckon scaling down is a good thing, but keep a small base to launch your adventures from. ie a small house, and a van ready to take you wherever, coupled with a nomadic business model.

I know a retired couple who decided to permanently live in their caravan. Basically, they migrate back and forth between the Garden Route and Kruger every year. In the off season at they live at the coast when camping fees are low. During high season at the coast when it is expensive they move inland to places like the Drakensberg or Mpumelanga. They have a really well set up camp with literally all the mod cons and they know the camp sites well enough the pick the good spots. They also say that it cost them less than to run a house. They form part of a small community doing the same thing and regularly see the same group as they move from place to place. They stay for between 1 and 3 months in a single spot. What will happen when they get to frail for it, I don't know.

yeah, looking at this, now. But at the level that I am looking, there's not a lot of options that would motivate me to move from where I am.

Except maybe a (female) van partner that surfs, mountain bikes, swims topless, wears yoga pants etc?
