If I were younger, I would consider living in a van in the way this young woman lives. Not permanently but long enough to travel and see what I could see. With so many jobs online these days, I could support myself while living in a van. Sarah has learned to live simply at a young age, after a major surgery which requires her to have an ostomy bag for the rest of her life. Although I have more living space than Sarah, my total living space is under 700 square feet and requires some of the same strategies that Sarah uses. I also live alone and, like Sarah, have learned to handle whatever comes up regarding home maintenance, learning that I don't have to pay for maintenance and repairs that I can do myself.
Sarah's cat, Bodhi, reminds me of my beloved Oboe. If I were to live in a van, I would certainly share the space with a cat.
"I was talking to a friend about this the other day and she is moving to Australia and wants to do van life there but she is so scared of all the what-ifs and the unknowns and I like to call them figure-outables. Like, it's okay if you don't know how to do it, you can figure it out ..."
(If you have time for nothing else, listen to Sarah from 9:30 to 9:45 on the video)
Sarah and so many of the young people give me hope for today.
