i'm having a bad case of travel lust from watching too many travel shows especially an idiot abroad. i am definitely addicted to it and the karlisms.

so, i've decided that i'm going to try to get rid of a lot of my worldly possessions to make my life 'lighter'. to be able to just pack a bag and run off to new adventures and new lands. i'm too bogged down by the material world. i want a simpler life. i want to be a simpler person.
so just going to focus on myself and improving myself more and more. already did that with my mental health. getting better with my physical health. no more horrible relationships with boys. actually thinking of just being celibate until i finish my class up so no distractions at all to lead me astray which would happen all to frequently. i want to be independent. i don't want to be shackled down by a relationship that won't let me live and experience the world. i feel like too many times i gave up too much of myself and dreams for the other person's career and schedule. no more of that! if that means i'm alone so be it i'll have the vastness of the world at least. i'll be wild as the wind.
my big plan is that once i'm all finished with school and have all my career skills i'll just pack up and head to california. do the whole road trip to nyc. take a plane to the uk and work my way across europe and the rest of the world.
my ultimate dream is to buy one of these and live from place to place. a vardo i can call home.
since a vardo is small i had in mind of having a tent like this situated outside for cooking, lounging, parties, maybe sleeping quarters depending on the area -
maybe a more "open" tent but i really love this one and like the thought of it providing tons of shade. wouldn't it be so dreamy with sheer saris for curtains during sunny days and romantic nights. carpets covering all of the ground and pillows strewn everywhere. just would be difficult storing these things i'm guessing.
during the summer of 1999 my mom, oma (german for grandma), hans (oma's boyfriend), moki and angel (the dogs) and i took a trip from southern germany to austria in a vw camper. it was the best holiday i ever had even though my oma and hans were there. parking in a meadow full of flowers and cars with the alps surrounding us on a glorious sunny day is one of my favorite moments of existing.
the van looked exactly like this. even the same heinous color. angel would love to crawl under the back seat to the trunk/car boot since she loved being in that confind space. one night moki slept on top of oma all night. she was too terrified to get him off of her which is funny since he's the biggest sweetheart ever.
love this tow-a-vardo by windy smithy this seems perfect and of course costly. one can dream.
so gorgeous. i'm thinking the less windows or the smaller they are the safer i will be. its a sad reality.
in love with this modern vardo that the man pictured made himself. very impressive and roomy! the striped shirted man, abel zimmerman even makes them to sell since the one pictured belongs to hsi family
