Hope I won't regret this: Does anyone here live in a van? (aussie.zone)

That's the question. I am not very social so I never really talk to other people in their vans, but I get curious about their experience. Here being anonymous seems ok to ask.

I live in one, in case it's not clear. I know there's a lot of people who do the same so maybe there's someone here. Probably not but it's worth a try. There used to be a van dwellers community on reddit, but mostly americans and instagram people.

No idea how it is in the US, but I imagine it's the most car centric country in the world. I know from reddit that there's a lot of people living in cars there.

How was it on the bicycle? I want to do that... did you stay in cities or wild? How do you do with all the water that needs to be carried? I wouldn't do it on a city though. Staying on a tent in a city is too exposed for me. But I love the idea of even more freedom, not having to worry about car registration, fuel and fines.

So you have toilet in the car? My basically just have waste water from brushing my teeth, so it just goes straight to the street. Isn't it too much issue to handle that? Though it must be nice to not have to look for toilet...

And your power is not solar?

Ordering things online, or anything that needs an address is still a big challenge for me. I'm trying for the first time ordering something to a post office and I'll go get it to see if it works. I don't think there amazon dropboxes here, but even if there were I would never buy something from amazon..
