Hello … my name is CJ Whillock … normally living in Minnesota … spend fall and winter anywhere there is no snow (jan & feb in Florida). I am 54, a recent widower and am loving this van life (it is much better than sitting in an empty house crying my eyes out). I sold everything and bought my Ford Transit 2500 last year ….. $50,000, …. 30,000 miles …. 2019. I love it. I can park anywhere, pick up and go anytime and park alongside other commercial looking vehicles for a quick snooze.
I have a travel blog at www.vanlifewoodcarver.com … or www.divebarroadtrip.com …. that has documented my first year of travels .. the good, the bad and the ugly!
I plan to share a few of my travel stories and my experience from the first year of van life. I look forward to chatting, meeting and connecting with this new work.
I have been going to art/craft shows, music festivals selling my carvings … it has been going very well. I am trying to find other artists that are interested in mini-caravans and attending a few events together.
