I sold my flat yesterday! Walked out of a job I hated not long ago and decided that No one was going to find my happy for me so off I shall go! Someone is building a van and all things being equal I'll be hitting the road in late Feb. The sense of being untethered, has set my soul singing. I'm going to be a bit cash poor but will have a rich source of our most valuable commodity; time. I'm excited to get on the road and actually have time to smell the roses and just stand and stare at the bounty nature has given us. Oh and blog! I'm clearly a frustrated blogger!! Anyway, all the best and maybe I'm meet a fee of you fab people on my travels. T xx

I'm 52 and feel exactly like you describe. To quote Queen, "I want to break free". Working stupid amount of hours every week in the hope I'll have enough to retire on at age of 67. The thought of another 15 years is like a prison sentence. So last year after watching many youtube videos of camper van builds, I decided to build my own. It's almost finished. The next step scares the hell out of me. How do I actually break free. Good video, thanks for posting.

Just discovered this site. How is it going for you? I am 57, adult kids settled so I am ready for a small holding life. Nice to be healthy enough for a new adventure.

I was 40 and in exactly the same way as this guy. I had a well paid career job in marketing, a house (mortgaged) two cars (idiot). However, I never felt satisfied or happy. One day I questioned myself and realised I needed more. I quit my job, sold my home, took my savings and decided to travel and like the old cliche 'find myself'. I ended up living by the med, an apartment and working for myself successfully as a private English tutor. I work hard in the winter so that I can have three months completely free to enjoy the summer here. It was the scariest decision I made in my life, was seen to be a bit of a fool, however 15 years later I understand it was the best decision I ever made.

I have now been working 2 days for about 14 yrs, i don`t have lots of money although people assume i must as i work so little, however like Clive i have valuable time.

Always good to read people are making the most of life 😎. For many the difficulty is having the courage to change, and the having the fear of 'what if'... We moved from London UK, jacked in our jobs, sold the house and drove east to France with an old Land Rover, a caravan and the cat: no house sorted, no jobs to go to. Best feeling I've ever had when we were on the Ferry at midnight, and best three months living on a campsite for three months whilst we looked around. Be brave. Make the changes you need to have the life you really want!

Fantastic...BUT! He's one of the lucky ones that bought a house probably in the 1970's when house prices were low, paid off his mortgage, got to nearly 60 sold his house so has enough to live off and then found this place. I would LOVE to do the same but I am tied down with a mortgage! my idea would be to build a tiny house and live in that offgrid (solar, rain catchment, permaculture etc) and there lies the problem here in the UK and that is 'LAND' finding some cheap land and living on it is hard because the council want their cut or you have to have it registered etc.

Looks crap to be honest if i worked as much as him through his life and ended my days living in a Caravan/van i'd consider my life a failure. Freedom = great, living in 3mm thick non-insulated tin box in the UK climate = Not so great. Sewerage? Power? Water? No mention of partner, kids....etc. Seems like an idealist and bit of a hermit. Great for some, but others of us are happy doing what we do. I don't think painting particular parts of society as bad because of your own idealogy (on things like mortgages etc) is a good way of being. To each his own, but i won't be living in a caravan or van at 60...i'd sooner suicide and shuffle off this mortal coil. Kudos for living your life your way.

I'm building my own van so I can break free next spring. I'm about halfway through. One word of caution to all Van Dwellers though. Just as in conventional life, It wont be long before the Government decide the community is so big that it needs controls. That will mean new Laws, rules, regulations, insurances, taxes etc etc etc. You see where I'm coming from. They do it to every piece of happiness and freedom we create for ourselves. We must be prepared and so I believe the only protection we have, would be to fight any controls on the grounds of discrimination. e.g. That Van Dwelling is a culture not a leisure activity. If we are not forearmed, we will end up paying the same as living in bricks because of all the licences, fees, insurances etc, that we would have to pay. Then we are back to square one having to work 60 hours a week just to pay. If we're not careful It will come, its the Governments way of controlling people and generating taxes.

Hmm not sure about that, there are 35 million vehicles on Britain's roads (too many obviously) but people love their vehicles and everybody would be outraged if they were taken away, not just van dwellers... living this type of lifestyle will always be cheaper in utility bills providing you have a good setup, this is only going to get better as solar technology improves. I agree the government is increasing taxes and will want to get old dirty diesels off our roads and older vehicles generally that emmit more C02 but is that a bad thing? As technology moves on vans will probably be electric, hybrid, or even hydrogen. Sorry if I sound like a nerd, just trying to present a positive alternative to what you say may happen... I guess none of us really know though.

Brilliant!!

I feel both extremely emotional, and extremely calm, having watched this video.....please tell this inspiring gentleman that if he ever finds himself in Rutland, he should contact me (even just by leaving a comment here!) as I would love to be a part of his musical project. So, so inspiring, all of it 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

Thank you for the comment. We are still looking for some people that are off grid and living on a boat so we can interview them as well. Hopefully we can find someone in the new year :)
