How many homeless people do not have an ID Card?brbrMost people are OBLIVIOUS to the fact that without an ID Card, you cannot:brbr• Get into a shelterbr• Get food stampsbr• Get a jobbr• Get a hotel roombr• Get into a Salvation Armybr• Get food from a pantrybr• Get any healthcarebr• Get on Social Securitybr• Get MediCal/Medicaid brbrTo add insult to injury, the cops STEAL Identification Cards from the homeless population to mess with them Comment from : Rich Goza |

I hope you don't feel all too lonely travelling all alone It looks pretty bearable even enjoyable for me to be on the road all the time with my wife But if I am alone, with whom can I share my feeling, my excitement, my stories, my thoughts? Comment from : Orakel Gottes |

Thanks for sharing your experiences and life story Success is often mistaken with how much money a person makes or has In my 30's, I spent years living in South Korea where weekend mountain hiking was very popular The water in those mountains was crystal clear and everyone drank from the small waterfalls Traveled all over Mexico and Guatemala They have many town parades where everyone dresses up in costumes, usually based on a Patron Saint of the village More people were using horses than cars in Guatemala It was like waking up in the year 1850 I'm older now and those were my favorite times Comment from : christopher stimpson |

Have you thought about a teardrop trailer to pull behind a small SUV? That way you don't have to pack everything up every time you want to go somewhere or do something Comment from : Catherine Keehn |

I think it could be uncomfortable living in a car, but it's more stressful to worry that you got enough money for the rent or home mortgage payment You also have to pay home income yearly which sucks Comment from : Tekman |

I am from the end of the last generation where we could get golden handcuffs and a lifetime annuity that pays me no matter what I do I’m not retired and I’ve been that way for almost 10 years you cannot in your generation expect that anymore, so what you’re doing makes a lot of sense to experience it nowbrbrEspecially building up through the new deal administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and following the end of World War II through the 1950s and 60s there was a corporate and government Safetynet that was actually very robust and Golden that ended with the Ronald Reagan administration of the 1980s very abruptlybrbrAnd that was 35 to 40 years ago maybe even before you were born or maybe when you were small childbrbrUnfortunately, you cannot depend on this social safety net anymore because the very selfish wealthy interest and corporate interest to pull the rug out from the middle classbrbrMore power to you Comment from : Michael Chen |

It is very refreshing to see someone so young realize what is really important in life I am 65 years old and I do wish I had realized that many life changing experiences can be eye opening spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically But like the old saying goes, “It’s never too late” I have realized that everyone’s timing in life for change and new experiences is different Glad your timing is now 😊 Comment from : Anita Mendez |

MY SOULMATE LOL Comment from : retro mic |

What's good about your situation is it's by choice and hopefully the money from selling your possessions is invested somewhere Money can't buy happiness but it can buy security For me in a nutshell my father had wanted me to follow in his foot steps and be an engineer, but he died young from his stress and workload just before I went to college That had a profound effect on me and I moved into more altruistic professions like healthcare and non-profits However the same problems he faced were still there, compounded by job insecurity and low pay Most of my working life was student loans and bouncing back and forth with retail therapy as an outlet The loans were paid off two years ago, I'm down to the last card, and I'm finally able to save money But at 55 I'm burned out, I put off a family and spouse until there wasn't an opportunity, tired of being on the hook for other people's screwups and no matter how hard I work it's not enough, we always need to cut back and tighten our belts more I have to help take care of my mother so I doubt travelling would work for me, but living cheaply will, just have to find a way for it to be fulfilling Comment from : Red Tiger |

Getting rid of 99 of your possessions is a real emotional challenge for most people I did much the same as you, but I traveled to South America I don't live in a vehicle I have an apartment as a home base, and I travel as I please Experiences are more valuable than stuff I just subscribed Comment from : Dan Spencer |

You got the BUg Comment from : Hang Nguyen |

As I watched this I thought at first wow, another teenager out to find herself on the road ! Lo and behold far from it and what a rapid and interesting story, you had me captivated for 5:30 and eager for more so yes, I subscribed The idea of going out on the road is something that has piqued my curiosity for a few years now and although I am much older than you I plan on doing this as soon as my divorce is final I will have themeans and freedom to venture out with my dog and live my life in total freedom I will continue to follow you and must tell you that you are very interesting Comment from : Stephen Williams |

Strong will woman Not many can give up "stuff" and get idea less means more ! Good luck on your adventures Christine Comment from : Enjoy life |
|
I miss my dog he was 20 and was pretty much blind too but , im glad you have your road dog with you ! Comment from : Daydreambunny222 |
|
I find it eye opening how I keep hearing similar stories to my own from many others that have taken to the road looking for change One thing I will say to those on the fence about trying it out is that for any hard decision in life it's always easy to find a reason to not change a situation, almost everyone is more comfortable with the devil they know than the risk of the unknown Comment from : Shawn Jones |
|
I went out and did my first stealth camping trip last week and loved it It's peaceful waking up while on the road having to see new things I have also gained a lot of experiences and I can't wait to do it full-time Thanks for sharing your experiences! Comment from : SoyBoys123 |
|
Wow😃 You are a inspiration Christinje I have also realize much of what you say but I had to pass 50 to get it I think our culture ( Im in Norway) are such that we push our kids and everybody in to this road where things are measured after how much money you make It is not right Comment from : Tarsan Tanga |

hardhat in the office huh? I would've left too Comment from : Marc H |
|
I love your story I'm sure many if not most people would see quitting a job and living in the car as a "failure" But I see it as a complete victory over doing what is expected As McCandless pointed out - "careers" are an invention You don't need one to be happy and successful Comment from : Tim317 |

Hi Christine, your video came into my YouTube feed, titled from having it all to living in a car/ My story I felt compelled to watch you as it was a short video, your back story was very interesting and life journey The part that resonates with me, is your commercial business background and the experience you’ve had in sales with the demand and running a small to medium business with employees You mentioned you have had successes and massive failures and you are figuring out the right balance between travelling and family I am touched by your life experience and back story, I have not seen any other videos you have uploaded, so I don’t know if you have mentioned the subject of faith I offer this to you and others who have contributed through comments, without coming into a relationship with God, who sent Jesus to die for our sins, you will always be searching for fulfilment and your life purpose You can do many things and have many experiences in life, but ultimately your real purpose will only be nourished in Jesus Christ, I am speaking from a very similar back story without choosing to go down your outdoor travel adventure route Jesus said, I am the way the truth and life and no man comes to the father except through me I challenge you to invite Jesus into your life and ask for forgive you for all your sin Begin this Journey with Christ, you will get to truly understand the meaning of Life and have eternal security, no matter how long or short your life left is!

In many ways this looks like the ideal situation I've often fanaticized about packing up my 4runner and hitting the road full time The ability to go where I want when I want is very appealing Alas I'll most likely have to live vicariously through people like Christine and take my opportunities to explore as they come Comment from : Sean Frank |
