  3. Hi glorious. Say....i love the places you stay at. The truck stops and apts to me is perfect. Also the rest stops to. Yep stay as close to the truckers as you can. They watch the cars to. Also the apts and motels close to resturants . while your awake. Libraries parks. Parks is one of my favorites. Take out the chairs the canope top for shade. The stove the food. Put down a rug by the van door for in and out restroom breaks. Dishes to. All of these only. As little as possible. Stay all day. Move to apts. For sleeping only. Wait til dark to set window cover i ngs. Sleep as long as you want to. Park on the very back row by the fence. Pick out seven places for daytime and seven places for nightime only. Stay in town as long as you need to. It worked for me when i was homeless back in 1980 november 25th. My mom passed away. I had nowhere to go. No family. Job lay off. Took a while. To find a job. No money but very little. Im still not experienced in jobs. Especially in computers. The dead end jobs i had did not require computers. They were a distraction. I was homeless for 7 yrs. Off and on. Summer yes. Winter rented a room. Had to save the money I worked at a laundrymat i got permission from the owner to sleep in a big storeroom. He had a cot to rest. Very clean. I cleaned up and got plenty of snacks to eat and diet cokes to drink and water. The man was trying to sell his business to retire. Believe it or not i felt very safe. Met nice people to talk to. I was at work. I opened up at 7 am. Closed at 10pm. I really enjoyed working ther all summer. The man fianly sold the laundrymat. I had to move. I was honest with the man and told him i was homeless after i. Lost my mom. He felt sorry for me. Of course he thanked me for the hard work of cleaning his laundrymat. I sure did help him out. I told him he helped me out more than i could ever help him. He and his wife was 82 yrs. Old. Later i found a job. I took care of my mom the best i could with a job to. I told the man you both will be blessed for his help. So they are in heaven. Im sure the man told his wife what happened.....its very hard to have no place to go and no moneyand no job. But to be a nomad is freedom peace of mind travel meet good people on the road. To plan . so now im 75 yrs. Old. Im on low income. My car is small. Not comfortable at all . i would have to live in a tent. If i was a nomad. My husband now doesnt like camping. He cant take a bath in privacy in the city. It cost to much money for showers and a gym membership. He. Wants everything conveinent and to his fingers touch. He doesnt like motels. To expensive. He is a couch potato. He has been out of work for two yrs. Now. I told him within 2 moer yrs. No job we will be homeless. The rent in dallas texas is to high. These stinking apts. Rent is to high. Every six months the rent gets higher. The rich gets richer and the pooer get pooer. Everyone stays broke. Barely buy food to eat. No money in our pockets. Putting the money in the owners pocket. But. With a nice vehicle you have a home on wheels. You might be houseless but not homeless. Your vehicle goes where you go. Car troubles is anywhere. But you have a home with you. Do have a emergency. Savings. For tires and batteries and oil changes. Dont travel to much at onetime. Saves gas and money. Being a nomad is fun to. So dont be scared.. Just get out there and do it. You will be glad you did. Even for a short vacation. Try it out. You will be glad you did. Take the family. As for myself. If i wasnt married. I would be starting out a new nomad. Joining a caravan. I have never traveled out of town. No money. I always stayed in town. I never had time for friends. I had two jobs. My mom and mowing yards and working at a company. Wish i was there with you all. So everyone just get out there and do it. Have fun. Dont worry. Take it one day at a time. Life is to short. We have only one life to live. And we all need to pray to our god who art in heaven. Whoeth be thy name. For what he has done for all of us on the cross. Be thankful and grateful for what we have had in the past to present and the future
