You should get a library card, and then you can browse and borrow books for free, and read them on your phone, tablet, kindle, etc. It saves a ton of money, and most libraries have large ebook libraries.

I sleep in my car when I travel and I find that waffle houses often have large parking lots. I park at the furthest corner, go inside to use the restroom, and ask them if it’s ok if I spend a few hours there if I buy a big breakfast before I leave. They always say yes, the parking lots are usually quiet and I feel safer than at a truck stop.

Never be embarrassed about van life. Iv been living in my ram promaster for 2 years. Iv had many people look at me like I’m crazy. But you know what? The world we live in is crazy. minimalists are few and far in between. People fall into the system: Go to college Get a decent dead end job Get an apartment/house And do that till you die. We live free. Never be ashamed about that. We have something they don’t have… freedom. So when people look at you weird, just remember… deep down they all don’t understand what really have. We have peace. And no debt. Embrace that!!!!

I also do a lot of solo traveling. So when I bought my house, I bought one with a super long driveway that has two security cameras on it and motion lights. If you ever need a safe space to park that is near a park, the gym, the grocery store and so many other things within walking distance hit me up with a private message. It's specifically bought this house for myself and other Van travelers. To have a safe rest stop for a night or a week. Or more if we become friends. Especially women. I also rent out my basement to traveling nurses. So this is a very female friendly household. I even have a chicken

I recently traveled from Michigan to Florida hauling a cargo trailer I had outfitted the van with a real bed and a porta potty. I stoped at a Cracker Barrel. But this one didn’t allow you to stay in their parking lot overnight. So it was back on 75 south looking at 9:30 at night. So next it was a Loves truck stop. They were full, no room. Next another 20 miles south a rest stop. Absolutely full of 18 wheelers. But only about 4 cars in the car section. So I park, take the dog for a walk. And try to sleep in the cargo trailer. Locked the doors. About an hour later I can hear and feel someone try the door. I was frightened but tried to go to sleep, about another hour later. Another try at the door. Shaking the trailer. Needless to say it was a restless night waking up frequently on high alert. I should say I’m a 71 year old grandma. I won’t try it alone again.
