My mom passed from Cancer last year. She got her report from the doctor and I begged her, "Go to Hawaii, go see the Redwoods. Die in a place you want to be." But instead she fought for 2 years with chemo and its effects, constant therapy and pain, with no chance of conquering the cancer. After she passed I told myself I'm done waiting. I'm out of here. We are selling the house and I'm getting an RV and traveling around teaching photography. I'd rather die on a mountain in a thunderstorm then a sterile hospital hooked up to a monitor.

I began my life as a nomad when I was 19 years old. I was living in a duplex I bought only 6 months earlier while I was still 18 years old.
I remember my adventure began based on a whim.
I was sitting in my car at a traffic light in Cincinnati Ohio when a thought popped in my head about going to Florida.
A moment later I was enroute.
24 hours later, I was standing on Clearwater Beach.
I'm 58 years old now and am living the van life lifestyle again. 😀

An old timer once told me that a old man works for a retirement that only a young man can enjoy.

Twenty-seven years ago, my father was in the hospital and was gravely ill. He called me to his bedside and spoke his last words, , , , "Son, I have to tell you something before it is too late, , , , yesterday I was in high school and I had my whole life ahead, I blinked my eyes and I am 72 and on my deathbed."

When asked what surprised him about humanity the most, the Dalai Lama replied:“Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

My boss that hired me when I was 21 years old; for 14 years he told me almost every day that he was miserable working at the company (my boss was there +30 years).
He retires and upper management throws a big retirement party for him... 3 months later he drops dead in his kitchen while cooking breakfast for his wife.
I go to his funereal and very few employees show up and I see no upper management there.
My boss gave +30 years to these people and they didn't care to show up.
I quit that same company 2 years later; management was telling me not to leave because they cared for me and it was a reliable paycheck... but I knew it was all bullshit.
I started a photo booth rental company where I'm the sole employee and boss; I work 2-3 days a week go to parties for a living.
He can be scary at times when I'm not fully booked some months, but I wouldn't trade this new found freedom for anything in this world.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, totally used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Whoa!! What a ride!!"

So inspirational as a 33 year old man working 60+ hours a week to pay for a house I am never in I appreciate what you are saying.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " Helen Keller

I love hearing this from someone older than me instead of the typical fear mindset, "what about health insurance" You can't raise kids like that" etc.

I’ve needed this today. I’ve been at a constant war with my mind lately about my lifestyle changes the past 2 years. Ever since my late 20’s, now at 30, I’ve moved to a more minimalistic, backpacking/hiking/outdoorsy lifestyle. I don’t own a lot. I enjoy being free. But I constantly feel the pressure of needing to “settle down”, with a home, a career, a family, etc. but I don’t truly want to be “stuck” in one spot, just working my life away. This video did really help me out a lot and I really appreciate it.

I'm almost 50 years old. 10 years ago my parents were financially destitute. They were being moved out of their apt. And we're given 6 months warning. They both had medical issues, were miserable people and poor parents ( alcoholism and abusive). My wife...best person I've known...loves family and said we needed to care do them...very long story...we wound up building an family suite onto our home.
So many illnesses with both parents over the past ten years: 3 strokes, feeding tubes, falls, cancer, and a slew of infections. Life has turned into a horrible existence. I have no other brothers or sisters to carry the load. My father is ninety five and mother in here eighties. Each day starts the same and ends the same... up early...pills, tube feedings, diaper changes and urinal leanings...then off to work...20 years in the same field ...cancer clinical trials...then back home for a repeat of the morning.
I tell you all this because I subscribed to your channel a year ago. I know the purpose of your channel is to get people out there living in the moment...I want that badly...I just don't know how to free myself from the obligation I have accepted.
Just thought you should know that many a day after work or late in the evening when I can't sleep, your videos keep my hope going. Thank you for your videos, the sharing of your life experiences as a Nomad...and mostly because it gives me an escape that keeps me dreaming of a day where my wife and I can just live for ourselves.
Thank you,
Sincerely
Stephen of Boston

Happiness is not a destination. It's a way of travel

This is one of the best things I've ever watched. I've been homeless for a year and a 1/2. Just got a residence a month ago. Now life is boring, I have no time, I'm killing myself at a job that doesn't care about me or anyone else that is employed there. I need to do the above to truly be happy.
