Crazy?

I have been thinking lately... 

Would my friends and family think I was crazy if we decided to get rid of all of our stuff and travel around in the van with our pups and blog about it? I think we would be crazy…

Hubby is turning the van into an RV of sorts. He has built the bed frame and went and bought a cozy mattress for it. It will have electricity (eventually) in that there will be a solar panel on the roof attached to batteries (and whatever other magic goes in to making that work). He is planning the little kitchenette area (really just a cooler with a charcoal grill at this time, not sure if there will be running water).

We will have storage and room for our pups. He is watching lots of videos of people who do this and I am following several accounts on twitter and Instagram… It looks so freeing. I know we would have to have money. There is expense…food, gas, maintenance…cell phone bills, probably a storage bill since I know that I would not be able to get rid of everything (but, really, how LIBERATING would that be!!!)



It sounds amazing, and also scary…but life is about taking risks. RIGHT?!?!?

    Oh man, I've thought about this, too. We live in Brooklyn, so we can't have a lot of things as a rule, and sometimes I just feel like "let's just put the cats in a van and GO"

    I would love to do something like this but with a destination in mind. Like drive to Texas (I live in Maryland) and start over.

    I couldn't do it. I love having space. I give props to anyone who could do it.

    I would have destinations, probably, but just the freedom to do it would be amazing!

    That would be fun! It would be a great time to reflect and spend time with those closest to you and to make new memories. I always love a good road trip.

    This definitely sounds freeing! I'm loving the new tiny house idea, so of course this fits the bill of the traveling sort... Life is all about risk and enjoying life...

    I couldn't do it. I love my big cozy bed and long bubble baths and being in the car too long makes me nutty. But it sounds so fun. This is my husband's dream for when we retire.

    I am not normally a very adventurous person, but this idea just grabbed ahold of me, and won't let go!

    We have a cozy bed in the van (maybe not that big). I am not usually a bubble bath person. I do get annoyed on car rides, but I think that this adventure sounds like alot of fun. Thanks!

    Oh gosh, that sounds awesome!! I don't know if I could part with all of my stuff, though...I'd have to get a storage unit.

    Oh, I would definitely have to have a storage unit, I can't get rid of ALL my stuff...

    There are days where I am tempted to consider something similar! Although I might have to go the RV route, because there is no way I'm giving up my sewing!

    This sounds scary but exhilarating that the same time! That would definitely be a big life change!

    I can't imagine living in an RV (my husband's dream) let alone a van but it does sound very "cozy" and, yes, a little "cra cra" :)

    An RV would also be an option, if we needed the space! We don't have an RV but we do have a van!!

    HUGE life change, but maybe that's what I need right now...

    I think we all are (and need to be) a little "cra cra" sometimes!!!
