Sooooo I have decided to build a Vardo and adventure into the world on my own :)
This is something I have always dreamed of doing, and even more so now that I have this new found freedom. Danny is helping design and build the Vardo which will be in the shape of a trailer on the back of my truck. after that I will probably stay in the area through the winter, just to get used to living in the trailer first before I get used to living in a different place. That way I can park at several peoples houses since everyone I know and love is here! Of course I will probably take a few trips, but no where to far. Of course.. this all can change on a moments notice... thats how I roll.
By spring though I plan to go find adventure! I'd like to stay as spontaneous as possible, because I feel that if I have no plan I can't be disappointed. My only goals are to enjoy every possible moment, Live in the moment, and to do things that scare me as often as possible! I also have a goal of finding cool people who might possibly be interesting in starting a commune type thing with me someday. but thats something I will have to plan for better at a different time.
To me living this way only makes since. It is smarter, cheaper and so much less stressful. I want to have myself set up so I will have everything I need. Toilet, shower, kitchen (even though I am going to eat mostly raw) Solar power for when I need it. I plan on doing a lot of temp work. I'm not willing to get rid of my hair for the sake of a job. but I shouldn't need more then temp work. I really am just mostly worried about money for gas. Food I can work around. Food stamps, food banks, foraging, etc. There are just options for food if I get desperate. There are no options for gas but money.
Here are some great websites I have found for anyone reading this who is either interested in doing this too, or just wants to understand what I am doing better. (I know I am bad at explaining... it is hard for me to explain, try and explain why you would want to have a house, and cars and bills and a career and constantly be busy going to school and work all your life, getting to work in the car you bought because of the job... and doing things that make you tired and unhappy and stressed just to live somewhere full of stuff you've bought that you are away from most of the time. I am not sure why any of that makes more since or seems easier then having the freedom to be where ever I want in the world, with nothing to do that isn't what I want to do.... anyway here are the websites lol.
cheaprvliving.com (this is one of my favorite sites. lots of ideas and help!)
craigslist.com (rideshares, barters, jobs, randomness. who doesn't love craigslist?)
hiremenow.com (website for temp work. there are a lot of ways to find temp work though)
I am trying to figure out what to do with cora while I am "working" I will just have to solve those problems as they come along. If I am working at an event, maybe she could just be at the event.. or if I am picking fruit, maybe she could play while I'm picking, if not, hopefully I will be able to park where I can see my car. and she can just hang out inside while I work. boring for her. But I shouldn't have to do it very often. living off $500 a month seems like more then enough. But only time will tell!

I am very excited for this adventure to start. I want to try and write in this blog daily once it has, and post pictures. I hope that my Journey from being a domesticated middle class house wife to an adventuring nomadic hippy can inspire others to want a simpler happier life.
Namaste:
My soul honors your soul
I honor the place in you where the in tire universe resides.
I honor the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you, because it is also within me.
In sharing these things we are united, we are the same.
We are one.
