I know we still have lots to learn, but I’m here to share what we wish we would have known a year ago! At this point we’re a year into off-grid Turtle Life and feel completely comfortable and confident pulling over and finding places to stay overnight, but when we started out it was pretty daunting and we spent a lot more money staying in RV parks and camp sites when we didn’t need to. We have the ability to go where our interests blow us without worrying about planning around a place to sleep. One of our favorite things about full-time vandwelling is the freedom we have to roam around without worrying about where we’ll stop for the night, allowing ourselves to really live in the moment. let’s talk about boondocking! A place we lived for a night in Corvallis, Oregon On that note, I recently realized that I’ve neglected to discuss a topic that is super fun and potentially useful to other wanderers, so. I said something about wishing we lived in the Turtle already, and how much fun it would be if we could just walk a block down Hawthorne and be “home.” Andy beamed and said, “Isn’t it exciting? By this time next year we’ll be living the dream: sleeping on the street with our half-wild dog and our garbage cat.” We were sitting on the patio after a matinee, drinking a beer and talking about how excited we were to begin our upcoming vandwelling life.
One of my favorite Andy quotes happened outside the Baghdad Theater in Portland a few summers ago, when we still lived in a house.
