Have always had the off-grid van dream, but as the father of a 6yo I’ve come to accept what you have said as my reality, having experienced the results on myself and my family after much trial and error over the last few years, including building out a shipping container on 5 acres, living in hotels full time, buying a van, and attempting to settle down in many different urban communities. I finally find myself now settling down in a suburban family-focused community, for my son to start 1st grade. And after a couple months already, I wouldn’t say the amount of happiness is what’s changed, but the total amount of stress. It is extremely freeing in its own right, just like falling asleep in a van in the desert is. I still haven’t given up, I love setting off to explore the unknown, but life has a funny way of giving you exactly what you want while not giving you anything you may have expected to begin with.
