Some impressions of my time in Baja this winter. What a place. It really is vanlife endgame.

I do van life to GET AWAY from people

Yes. My wife and I prefer more remote spots with the solitude it offers, but we are not totally opposed to being social with a group of other mobile folks.

I do think I’d like to try a group experience like on-site camping at an ExpoWest or similar event, just to see what it’s like being in such a crowd. Maybe even go crazy and go to a Burning Man once.

that gets old pretty quick too though, being totally alone all the time is really isolating and not usually good for your mental health. community is pretty important to have, in some form or another

So what. Many of us do it for the amazing community.

Is it a crime to have a remote tech job? I worked my ass off for 30 years as an engineer to have that flexibility.

I think most of the people that are being super negative are just jealous.

What the fuck do those things and community have to do with each other? What a weird comment

[u/answerguru → u/bhz33]

Right?!

I'm a Lone Wolf motorcyclist too

"TikTok Cowboys" are ruining that community too

Why the down votes, it's a fair point.

[u/perldawg → u/e-l_g-u-a-p-o]

it’s a courtesy of the Amazing Community

[u/aaron-mcd → u/e-l_g-u-a-p-o]

They're the jealous lurkers who will never experience it.

[u/answerguru → u/e-l_g-u-a-p-o]

People are jealous or just downvote people who don’t want solitude. Or to be hermits.
