Someone I worked with years ago before retiring, a woman being treated for cancer, told me, “you spend your entire life gathering up all these possessions and in the end you try desperately to get rid of it all” AND… a very wealthy woman I worked for in college told me “the more you have the more problems you will experience in life”. So, your message in this video, as far as I’m concerned, is absolutely correct. Best wishes, see ya on the road 😊

Hello Kimann, Hope you find your dreams. You seem to be enjoying going to all of these wonderful destinations. I'm 59, having retired at 54 after working for the government more than 31 years. During that time they moved us around all over the US. My wife (soulmate) and I have been married/together for almost 40 years now and are also empty nesters. We recently bought a travel trailer and plan to utilize it a lot, but will retain our home base here in Central Oregon. Safe travels! Cheers!

We have an Artic Fox truck camper and enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors kayaking, fishing, hiking and exploring. But something to consider, don't overlook the importance of having a place to call home. We have a twenty-five acre homestead, we've saved and sacrificed to have a place to call home, but more importantly, a place where we could live self reliant through gardening and having chickens and livestock. We have two senior citizen family members now living with us, it's because they did not plan well and didnt have a place to go, they just hit the road in their RVs and never looked back. Life changed for them and they no longer have the means to provide for themselves and cannot even travel well. Now they live on our property... rent free, we could not turn our backs on them, so now we have permanent guests. So have a plan, consider finding yourself a place to call home, even though your not ready to live there, there will come a day you'll be glad you have a place to call home.

i'm soon to be 61, and it's a viscous circle, it was always expected that you got married, had kids, buy a home and fill it with things, and it locks you in because now you have to work to pay for it all. You go to work, come home, do home things around the house, go to bed and then it starts all over again the next day, while I didn't get married or have the kids I bought the house, and filled it, I felt that pressure and anxiety and didn't know why. I didn't realize there was anything more until I went to the Grand Canyon while on a business trip I had never really been off the east coast, while searching for travel videos I stumbled on Carolyn's RV and then all the rest of the youtubers, now my future has changed at 62 I'm going to retire, sell everything (purchase some land with a small house), and travel, I have a 20ft travel trailer that I now use to camp locally and plan to start with the trailer until I decide what mode of transportation works best for me, most people are happy with the traditional sticks and bricks but some are always wondering if there is something more.

Especially the sleeping part. I got a lot accomplished too. Took a class, cleaned, ate better, think it’s time to recharge again!

I think your mission statement could be summed up as: LIVE! But to do that correctly and authentically does take a bit of spelling things out. I'm so glad to see you embracing joy and love and self acceptance! I've always known exactly who I was - the problem was loving and accepting that because what I am was so radically different from every one I knew. The only way I could interact was to actually BE other people. I hated the shortcomings I had and was frustrated by them even though those I loved found them endearing. I was convinced I was either an alien or insane. Moreso than even accepting and embracing (some time ago) that I'm not heterosexual, finally finding out that I'm actually autistic very quickly ended those stigmas and self loathing and lead to a road of self love and acceptance. I developed a soft spot for myself, I guess largely because my oldest is autistic. Sometimes, you're offered an opportunity to see the world and yourself without any lenses, and it can be so wonderful and transformative and liberating and beautiful. I am so very happy to see you had your moment. I identify with so much you said and did get a bit emotional with you. Namaste, my friend. You are a wonderful person and I think I speak for many when I say I absolutely love you!

Sometimes the ones we love are too busy for us 😌

Loved your video 💖 I was living in my truck camper for a brief time and loved it! But I freaked out and let fear put me back into society and the suburbs while living in a 5th wheel no less… how ironic… still RV life but not the nature and the community I had when I was living as a nomad. Thanks for the reminder 🙏

I watched this video twice probably because I'm in a house with a teardrop trailer in the garage waiting for me to go camping but I don't do it. I stay at home doing little things that need done my in comfort zone. Maybe I'll break free like you did. You are inspiring. Just the cost of gas alone is enough to keep me at home. You are fortunate and brave. Enjoy your new life. I really thought you were going to squish your dogs when you rolled over. Lucky their quick thinking.

I understand being comfortable in a house. Do what brings you joy. If that is camping - go camping. If it is being cozy in your house - do that. Gas is expensive but you don't have to go far.

Hi Debi. Thank you for sharing. Life is complex! We make decisions that may not be serving us now. I always thought marriage should be a contract with a time limit - maybe five years, and then we reevaluate! The human species isn't biologically monogamous - shocking! It stabilizes society, and marriage makes much money - weddings, household items, and divorces. People change. If we are honest with each other, things may change for the better. Only you can decide what is right for you! I feel you. It is never easy, but life is a gift worth living peacefully. You will find your peace! Sending love!

I can relate. Fear is the zapper of dreams! A good friend told me that fear stands for false expectations appearing real. We don't know the future, so why can't we believe it will always work out instead of the worst-case scenario? I understand that it is our ego trying to protect us, but lately, I have been thanking my ego and doing it anyway. Live in love!

Although my "awakening moment " was somewhat different , I can relate to the outlsome. For me, Covid, the passing of a loved one all boiled down to a few things.... tiny homes, van life, a travel trailer, a dog and quite soliary nights sleeping next to a100 year old saguaro in the desert. Funny how things change. : )

I found it interesting when you described the van as your ex-husband complaining what you were spending on it. If you were working in a hospital, you were making good money of your OWN to spend as you wanted. Also, you said the van was in HIS name so he kept it. I think he was afraid you would just pack up and drive away if you could and I am very glad you finally did just that and are finding YOURSELF for the first time in your entire life. Alot of women in the same position are doing just that with their cars, vans, tiny houses etc. I can only imagine how FREE they feel when they drive away.

Oh boy, I'm not sure I could bare my soul as you've done ... I try and live a very private life and some people I know very well don't really know all that much about me which, is how I like things to be. 😳 Gotta give you credit, opening up like you did must be cathartic in a lot of ways 👊🏻

I always lived a very private life, too. That is one reason I delayed starting a KZread channel, but baring my soul has given me so much self-acceptance. I can be who I am without censoring what I say. It has been freeing and shows me quickly the people I want in my life. I surround myself with people who accept the real me and are nonjudgmental. You just opened yourself up with your comment. Thank you.

Loved your words on Love and Fear, living in either. I’m a divorced dad with 3 amazing daughters that are my life and my ex is doing ALL she can 24/7 to take my daughters out of my life and make her boyfriend new dad, i tried to get my own company running leaving the corporate world but she threw stumbling block after stumbling block so I failed and now trying to get back into the corporate world to be able to pay child support and alimony and I am LIVING IN FEAR! Anger, safeness, depression, missing my angels, fear, frustration, anxiety , self doubt , self hate . I’m hoping and praying to feel what you feel. Thankyou for posting this when I needed it. This randomly popped up in my feed and I’m grateful. I’m in my early 40’s and just so frustrated with life and myself. The ONLY reason I’m still on this earth is my beautiful babies, my daughters, they are my everything and their illegally being kept from me and then losing my amazing mom to a fast advanced brian cancer recently about took me. My Love for my angels is all that’s keeping me rolling and I need to figure out how to find peace and the opposite of what I feel now. I’m getting great direction from random things like this video.

This will pass, and you will grow and continue to be an amazing Dad. Be kind to yourself during this difficult time in your life! Your children need you to be here for them. You are young, and there is happiness in your future, even though it is hard to see now. You are strong! You will prevail and be a better human being for it!
