The Challenges Of Van Living During This Crises

Tweet

It's been a few weeks since I've checked in. This pandemic has had my anxiety at an all time high. We are safe since we live in our van and camp on free land away from people. We are still in Arizona where we have been camping all winter. We were suppose to start heading East in April but now not sure when we will leave the state or where we can go. Many states are closing their borders and many campgrounds and free lands are closing down to campers. We are struggling just to find our basic needs... especially paper towels which we use for everything. And affordable food that we normally buy are always out. Thankfully we found a food bank that helped. So for now we will remain in Arizona since many if the free lands are still open to campers, but we may just head a little north from where we are because temps in southern Arizona will be hitting the 90's this week and we have no air conditioning or shade for our van. One of my nomad friends lucked out. She has a good friend in New Mexico with plenty of land and is allowing her to stay on her land. That is the best situation for any nomad during this time. Most of us are over 50 with some health issues so we really need to stay away from others as much as possible. How is everyone doing during these challenging times?
