    Not sure why your video came up as a suggested viewing, I watched one, then another and now I’m hooked! Travel, cooking, meeting interesting people, living minimally in a tiny space…I can’t wait for each next episode. My new favorite travel show, and the host is convincingly nice, humorous & down to earth. Thanks for this & keep the shows coming please.

      Yes AHEC does a great job on the Auraria campus. He was on the roof of the Tivoli parking garage, used for students part of 3 various high ed institutions (universities, colleges etc) on campus. Though people use it for the ball arena too sometimes which was across the street.
      You can get overnight parking there, but because he's not a regular or part of that campus he couldn't . If he reached out to me I could have gotten him overnight parking lol.

    Im a 61 yr old RN. Most of my life my husband and I had planned to retire and travel North America in a sprinter van. He died when he was 45 and I was 39. Our daughters were 9 and 16 at the time. Just when they were finished school and beginning their lives. I was run over by a truck while walking down a sidewalk. I had planned to pay for my travel life as a Travel RN. Not happening in a wheelchair.
    Young man please take advantage of the opportunity to travel that our profession supplies. I had planned on doing 13 weeks in Alaska, 13 weeks in California then Florida and so on. I would summer at home in Ontario Canada. I was licensed in the USA and Canada. You are now living both of our dreams, have fun. And congrats on graduating.🎉🇨🇦🇺🇲❤👨‍🦼🩺💉

Hence also why cops will kick out a small group of cars because they are “afraid they will be a nuisance” even though they are breaking no laws.

      Um I don't think you actually understood his point.... It's not that he can't afford it. But that he doesn't want to live like that... His lifestyle is by the way in my humble opinion a lot more "live life to the fullest" rather than I'd guess someone more traditional who chooses to settle down in one spot and live in a permanently rooted place. His lifestyle is full of wonderment. Joy of simple living and adventurous, like he actually gets to fill his life with all kinds of wonderful fulfilling experiences....
      so don't pity him. I don't think he's life is pitiful. I don't think he would appreciate being pitied.....
      His life is a joyful adventurous journey!

      @@gloriabrito8714he said he did it because he couldn’t stand how much he was losing on rent. That’s a financial issue. The dollar has lost 85% of its value since we went off the gold standard and the middle class is all but gone. There is a reason this lifestyle has gained popularity and people are making the best of a bad situation for the most part when you really get down to it. I’m living in my vehicle and I’m in Facebook groups of others doing the same. People sometimes say it’s for travel and freedom and it does meet that need for variety, however, if people had money to do both I doubt most would actually choose this. It’s one or the other and better smile or you might cry, for the generations that will never know the American dream.

      I appreciate the positivity in this video. Keep in mind that a person needs an adequate income to make a positive unhoused experience that includes travel and keeping your options open. For those without adequate income, it’s not a romantic lifestyle. This is the richest society in the history of the world, but let’s not pretend that it makes sense that working and retired people can’t afford to rent or buy places to live. Living in a vehicle, no matter how fun you make it in the short term, is not a sustainable lifestyle. If you don’t have adequate income, the minute the vehicle requires expensive repairs, you’re in jeopardy. The book “Nomadland” got this right…the movie did not.

And right down the street used be what was called the University of Denver. I think I spotted it out the rear of your car. I lived in the mountains and worked in Denver back in 1980. The place has really changed. My cabin in the mountains near Rollinsville cost me $90 a month. Now you probably couldn't park your car all month for that.

    What a lovely interaction between two strangers. Good to see that there is still goodness in this world.

    Bro, thank you so much for sharing this video. This is what I want to do when I plan on retiring in the near future. Think about the level of freedom a person can get and keeping your cost of living down. Thanks again for the inspiration .

    That parking attendant was pretty cool and he even knows some history to talk about.

    It’s so wonderful you’re a nurse. The world desperately needs more nurses. You guys are heroes 💪🏻 You could even maybe look into doing travel nursing. I hear they earn good money. Plus if you find a city/job you love, you can then stay there. But if you’re in a place you don’t love, it’s cool cos it’s only temporary (that’s why I’ve loved temporary work in the past). Love your channel. Sending you good vibes from Sydney, Australia ✨✨✨

    I love dudes like the parking attendant, anytime I run into people like that when I travel, I spend some time just chatting with them.
    Don't care if they're speaking BS or being honest, it's just awesome to make friends and have positive experiences like that.

    My wife and I were dying laughing watching this video...awesome! It's great to see a young guy like yourself doing what it takes to get ahead and enjoy life. We wish you the very best in your pursuits and thanks for the very entertaining video!
    Oh, my wife wanted to know what do you do with toilet "situation"! LOL!

      Did you see the little toilet in the back when he opened it up to show to those three young guys? Most van lifers have something like that. Also he has a membership at planet fitness for showering, and there are other shower situation as you can find while travelling also. Along the interstate there are several different chains of large gas stations which make truck drivers welcome as well as cars. They have showers inside that anyone can use, not just truckers. You can also shower at places like state and national parks. Usually you don’t have to stay overnight there to use their shower facilities in the campground, but each place has different rules.
