    I can so relate so much to Linda's comment of people being busy with their own lives. Not a complaint about the wonderful people in my life, but being just me, I was ready to go be busy beyond responsibilities. Retirement truly began when I sold my townhome and hit the road. People have been supportive, but they don't get it and that is fine. I am finally doing something besides waiting for others to be available. No regrets. 😊

    What a joy it was to finally meet you Linda. You are another like-minded soul in more ways than one. I’ve tried explaining this culture to others, and you certainly hit the nail on the head. We are all so different yet so similar. I am only part time and only the camp in the winter meet ups but a new world has opened up for me. I have met some of the most amazing women that I never would’ve met otherwise. ♥️♥️

    Great Story as I sit here in Bricks, wanting to do what she is doing!
    I like that 90 day plan. I have a plan - the Vanfest and Skoolie Swarm in Fl- Feb. 2025. Loved she started in the car. That's where I am starting

    That was a good story - Thank you. I was fortunate and was very involved with a women's group for many many years. We arranged an annual gathering and up to 225 women attended - we made a gypsy camp, did ceremonies, drummed, danced, sang and got our food catered (heaven) we had classes with drumming, herbal, We laughed, cried and made lifelong friends. And then Covid hit. I have been very lonesome for my friends-now scattered. I encourage all women to gather - tell stories and appreciate each other.

    I don’t agree with how she begs her viewers to support her financially. They bought her old tiny house, then she sold it for a profit. They paid for the furniture and appliances as well.

      This is an outright lie.. straight from the devil. Why on earth would I work all over the country if I was just going to ask for $? There was/is? a fake channel spewing lies.. so sad. I also worked 50 hours a week this summer in Michigan.. I’m wearing the jacket they provided with their logo. I will pray for all of you to seek the truth.. it will set you free! God bless you in all your endeavors.

      All lies.. I also have no idea who the my name with 7658 on the end is. Buying my homes and furniture are outright lies-straight from the devil. Why on earth would I live in my car, work 40+ hours a week all over the country, eat minimally.. if I was just going to ask for $? There was/is? a fake channel spewing lies.. so sad. I also worked 50 hours a week this summer in Michigan.. I’m wearing the jacket they provided with their logo. I will pray for all of you to seek the truth.. it will set you free!

    I’m always reminded of two quotes, “whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right”-Henry Ford. The other I’m not sure whom to credit…”do what others won’t so you can go where others can’t”. Sacrifice can feel fun since there is plenty of opportunities to get creative. I too like to sleep in the front. I too want to keep my landing zone. My landing zone may change, though I’d like to keep one…somewhere because as you mentioned, things can change on a dime. Love that most of tribes are positive. Refreshing! Thanks Jan for another great video. Stay you! Stay true! May you continue to inspire. 💕

    Linda is awesome. She is one of the first people I connected with in this life but unfortunately we have not really kept up with each other. It is a busy life and get distracted often from things we want to do. I am hoping to reconnect with her some day soon.

    Thank you for this interview Jan. I have been a nomad in my Gypsy wagon for 4 years and love it, but considering or actually praying about whether or not to get a tiny home on acreage. I have found one here in Texas but need the ok from above. Never want to just sit still and make house payments, need to travel but a home base would be nice. 🙏🙏🙏

    new sub here. thanks Jan for introducing us to Linda. you are both inspirations and your message has come at a pivotal time in my life as well. ready to start planning to make the leap and leave sticks and bricks for the freedom of the road. retirement and downsizing have been liberating and looking forward to next step in this adventure. to share a quote from michael j. fox -"gratitude makes optimism sustainable". god bless you ladies and happy holidays to you both !☺😇

    That's how I feel, tired of dishing out so much money on mortgage, & so many other bills with a sticks & bricks home. I would love to live full time traveling, if I could just get hubby on board with it. We will probably be losing this home in the next few months anyway, we are both not working right now, & my health issues aren't helping my job search. 😥

    I think its important to have a home base if you can afford one. I love my house, but I have horrible neighbors. They pile their junk up next to our property line and refuse to trim their trees but threaten to sue me if I do. I think I should sell, but fear I'd never be able to afford to buy another house. I'm giving myself until spring to decide. I could easily live in my van full time. I've already downsized almost everything.
