replying to @chasethewildone @chasethewildone As a person with dogs and cats, traveling abroad can definitely be a challenge and a huge expense. I am not one to fly 7 or 8 hours and stay for 4 days. I want 7 days minimum. #GenXTravel

replying to @TravelFuelsLife @TravelFuelsLife I completely get that! Thank goodness I have my partner Shawn or I would have definitely had to have some serious help! #GenXTravel

replying to @TravelFuelsLife @TravelFuelsLife Yeah, that's a big fear and reality for most people, unfortunately. This is why we can't have nice things. #GenXTravel

A8: #GenXTravel #vanlife I'm sure I would mix it up between sort of urban (not sure I'm going to keep my car in downtown Detroit) and the great outdoors.

replying to @chasethewildone @chasethewildone I would get to the beach and/or mountains and want to stay forever, then I'd run out of something and want a store open 24/7 near me. #GenXTravel

A9: The greatest challenge I've faced in #vanlife has been making so many decisions. Every single day you have new decisions to make. Where are we headed next? Where should we park? Is it OK to park here? What do we do today? So many daily decisions! #GenXTravel

A9. Greatest challenges to #VanLife would probably be small sleeping quarters and public bathrooms. We stayed on a sailboat in San Francisco and these were minor issues. #GenXTravel

replying to @obligatraveler @obligatraveler How do you feel about a Shewee? #GenXTravel

replying to @obligatraveler @obligatraveler I tried the kindle life but I gave up! My boyfriend had to give up part of his closet so I could have a bookshelf. #GenXTravel

A9: Paying bills and getting mail. Having a place for my Amazon purchases to go ;) #genxtravel #vanlife

replying to @obligatraveler @obligatraveler This is a healthy combo! Building out your own van isn't super easy haha and having some professionals would have really saved us a few headaches and fights! #genXTravel

We stayed under the San Fransisco Bridge and the view was spectacular and free! #GenXTravel https://t.co/N7y5x783N3

A10. My beautiful Master Bathroom. We are purchasing a new home and this is what I will miss most about my current home. #GenXTravel #VanLife
chasethewildone
A10: Ooh what do I miss about daily normal life? I truly love love love living in a city. I love the city sounds, a beautiful apartment with a city view, and doing city life things. Although we can visit the city, it's never quite the same. #vanlife #GenXTravel

replying to @chasethewildone @chasethewildone You really need to be purposeful in taking 2 days in a row and just 'being somewhere' hun (no plans except taking care of each other & enjoying the majesty. You are doing this to relax your life, while still providing but sometimes you get a lil tightly strung. #GenXTravel

A10: My nice comfy mattress. Plus I'm 6'6" tall. I have a feeling stretching out would be a luxury I'd miss! #VanLife #GenXTravel

#GenXTravel A10) I might miss having my own garden this time of year if I was living #vanlife

replying to @GenXTraveler @GenXTraveler You get used to sleeping in small spaces but yes the bathroom is an issue! However, I know tons of #Vanlifers that have a bigger van and put a shower/toilet in their home! #GenXTravel

#GenXTravel #vanlife Thanks @chasethewildone and @GenXTraveler for putting this together.
