Following my dreams...

In 2016 I became jobless after a reorganisation of the company I worked for. After a few months it became impossible to pay the mortgage of my appartment. For a while I was already interested in Tiny House living but here in The Netherlands it is difficult to legally life in a Tiny House and above that the costs for building a Tiny House for me were to high. So I looked to other possiblities.

I found a mobile home and bought it. De freedom of living in it was great. To be honest I didn’t want to go back to a stone house with central heating and warm water. This easy, simple life fitted me. Yes, in the winter it was sometimes quite cold and washing your cloths when you first have to boil water, takes a lot more time than normal washing but I loved dit. Luckely for me you have to waite for like 8 years to get a rental home over here in Holland so that was great. Unfortunately the residential permit was temporarily and so I had to find another place to live.  

For years I had the dream of living in a campervan. Not for a couple of weeks a year, no permanently. An even more easy life with less stuff and all the freedom in the world. So this was the time to stop dreaming and make it a goal. I didn’t have anything to loose, I was becoming homeless anyway. I found Mollie, my VW T4 busvan in the north of Holland, picked her up and start making it a real home. And I did, at the end of May this year my dog Teun and I started our first real adventure. We travelled through France for 5 weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. We explored nature, met great people who became friends for life and discoverd and learned how to live comfortable in Mollie. More about living in Mollie in my next blog.

In about a week I leave for Spain and Portugal for a new Mollies adVANture, I can’t waite 😊.

Do you have a dream? I like to hear what it is, will you let me know?
