RE: Van Life COVID Hell: Plus, A Little Progress on Our Build

in #build-it4 years ago

I am in Greece and experienced a simmilar story right here 3 weeks ago . Vanlife people where ordered by police to leave the public place they where at to sit this lockdown out . Some local complained . You may park along the road and stay inside your van . Yeah try that for months .
As i found them again in the harbor of the same town , they where looking for for options to stay somewhere to camp that where legal , as in with permission on someones privat ground .
I offered them as a last resort to stay where i am at as i am on private land of a good friend of mine . Happy about my offer they waited for the local pub owner to get permission to stay on his land at the border of the town . As i have no runnig water or power at where i am at , and water is a 45 min walk away .
Lucky that the pub owner gave permission they stay for now an his grounds . On very nice old Mercedes 508 had a family whit little kids in it . So glad the are close to resources and shops . I visit them about ones a week , i get a coffe , cake and last time , banana pancakes .
For there offer and hospitality i gave them one of mij wood burner stoves . As open fire gets restricted up from 15 april .

Still any vanlifer stuck in Greece is welkom to stand on the land i am on , i can take 4 max 5 . So if you know vanlifers in trouble for not having a save place . True this i can offer some some help .
Region is 66 km under Sparta in the Mani district .

Just give a comment anywhere on my posts , ill see it .

Peace to all .

Oh no! we were going to head to Greece. That's so nice of you to look after them - so kind. Great to hear this story - there are some good people in teh world looking after them.Thanks so much for the offer, it's super appreciated!!!!! Water being a 45 minute walk away is tough, I guess you could be careful but I think you'd run out quickly! xx If i hear of any vanlifers needing somewhere I'll get in touch for sure, thanks for your genorousity, so kind!

PS Sorry I took so long to reply!

No problem , i thougth the first part of your post as most important , as it is a bigger problem as we might think . I have a view on the coast main road from high up a mountain hill . I have seen many campers pass last weeks , most keep moving i guess hoping to find a place to stay and camp .. and sorry , for that i did some things to draw some attention .
I think that now ... the people should help the people . And i guess you understoot by now that angryman is not me ;-)
