SOLO AND 65, My Mom On Van Life After 4 Years

It’s been 4 years now since Jason’s mom (Mary) boldly decided to sell everything and ditch her city apartment for Van Life.  It was a drastic downsizing and a huge leap of faith for a single, non-retired 60-year-old.

It’s been 4 years now since Jason’s mom (Mary) boldly decided to sell everything and ditch her city apartment for Van Life.  It was a drastic downsizing and a huge leap of faith for a single, non-retired 60-year-old.

Van, RV, or boat, it’s a big lifestyle change with a steep learning curve on where to park, managing limited resources, and becoming savvy with new technical systems.

She has had a backseat pass to our nomadic journey over the past decade, but it isn’t the same as living it.  And her life on the road hasn’t been an easy transition.  Mary has been deflated, struck down, and shocked in more ways than one.

But WOW, we are blown away by how she has adapted over the years!  So, grab a beer (Mary’s beverage of choice) and join us for a trip to mom’s house.

There are plenty of opinions about how one should go about life, travel, adventure, and everything in between. Variety, it’s the spice of life, right? As for us, we like to travel with the comforts of home.

Self-reliance is what lets us wander far from easy access, cell service, and well-worn paths. It's not about doing everything alone, it's about having the confidence to figure things out as we go. That's when remoteness stops feeling risky and starts feeling like freedom. A lesson we’ve learned time and again from the people and communities we’ve met along the way.

We've been road trippin' around North America since 2011, have rented vans in New Zealand and Europe, and we inspired Jason's mom to go full time Van Life. So yea, we're fans.

These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community.
