What do you think about honing in on the desert-loving aspect of van-dwelling, or perhaps something about people who choose van life elsewhere?
What I’m trying to say is that I sense the desert is visceral for many people. Something they must do. It speaks and calls to them. As such, I would be interested in hearing what that feels like.
On the other hand, I’ve been looking upon the desert with horror for ten years, since I learned about van life.
I’ve been scrolling through apps wondering if I could possibly put together enough 2-week stays on government land in the mid-Atlantic and North East. And whether it would even be safe to do this alone.
I wish I had put my money where my mouth is and could actually write this article. But since I’m not qualified, I wonder if the subject ever comes up?
PS I’m interested in conversations with anyone about why they live wherever they live.

Our place and reason:
For four years, we workkamp a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon.
We share the acreage with a couple-three dozen other workkampers in various versions of home-built HouseTrucks and RecreateVehicles.
.
Nobody of these nomadic Permanent Travelers has any intention of leaving.
Scary out there.

Definitely seems to be a desert slant to van life. I would like to see more options in the Midwest. I like trees.
That bus looks sketchy. Doesn’t look like enough is stuck underground to keep the rest upright!

Where is Cody?
If Bob had taken this photo, it would’ve been during Homer’s time, before Cody.
