My 2018 Steemit plan: THE MOBILE HOME & the problem with modern stuff!

I am a big fan of thinking my way into the future with positivity 🌠

Two years ago I was looking for a way to support my family consistently whilst travelling the world and then I met a guy in the jungle who told me about Steemit...

The Mobile Steemit Home

With this question answered my family and I have turned our attention to what it is we would most enjoy doing next and the answer is a mobile home. Sabrina & I are travellers at heart and now that we have two babies, adjustments have been made to our joint vision of how we intend to continue on our journey.

There is something very appealing about the thought of a home with wheels

Sabrina has lived in converted trucks before and travelled through Europe so she has already tasted this life, whereas I am yet a virgin. So, whilst her first thought was the converted truck vision, my first thought was the latest in cutting edge tech, RV of the future!

I realise these images I am showing you represent the most expensive option available, but that doesn't matter. To manifest, first we must dream it is possible.

Why is modern not always the best?

Whilst I do love to dream about this classy vision of our future I am conscious of my mother and her story.

Just when she was approaching the ripe old age of 70 she decided that she would drive to South Africa and back (from the UK) in a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4 with a flip-out tent on top. This journey took her around 3 years and unquestionably made her younger!

She and her partner chose this vehicle because no matter where they were in the world, someone would be able to repair it.

New vehicles are not designed to be fixed by mechanics who don't work for the company.

They are mostly electronic now with custom made parts which must be ordered directly from the source.

Which if you are driving through Africa will take weeks to arrive!

With this in mind the vision is happy to be adjusted.

Solar panels can always be added later 🌅

Thankfully google images makes it very easy to dream about the possibilities...

These converted school busses really get my mind going!

Onward & Upward!

We are in the glory days of Steemit now and anything is possible. Invest your earnings wisely and you may very well find yourself in a position where you never have to answer to a boss again.

Now wouldn't that be lovely ;)

The ultimate questions

Finally you can ask yourself these often overlooked questions:

  • Why did my soul choose this physical body?

  • What do I most love to do?

  • What is the best future I can think of before the 'logical' side of my brain kicks in telling me it is impossible to achieve?

We must be CLEAR with our vision in order for the Universe to be able to respond.

Please remember the Universe does not respond to your physical actions but your vibration... your thoughts.

Forget all the physical stumbling blocks relating to the question of how it will unfold and simply focus on the vision, basking in the feeling it creates.

Feels great right?

In Conclusion

We came to Bali two years ago following the flow of energy after being invited here for a film job which I had just finished when I stumbled upon Steemit. It was not our intention to stay for so long but I felt strangely motivated by this platform to remain where we were and dedicate as much time as I could to the understanding the world of crypto.

Now this is done we are moving back to the South of France (in 10 days) where we will check in with our mothers and prepare for the next leg of our adventure.

It is our CLEAR VISION that once we leave France, we will lead a highly mobile existence bringing joy to the lives of all those whose path's we cross.

...and this includes teaching them about Steemit!

Yep, we will be branding the vehicle for sure... though most likely with the original logo which resonates with me deeply and will forever represent our two beloved currencies, Steem & Steem Dollars.

Funny how you meeting a guy in a jungle has changed my life too! From YouTube-ing 24/7, for $3... to Crypto Steemit Lifestyle! I already see you visiting me in Spain...... Rubber Tramps ;) I know you'll remember our miniature adventure.... MiniDUB.JPG

Man that vehicle brings back memories! Brilliant :)

So happy to have you with me on this awesome steemit ride bro x

Im not just on the ride, I am going FULL TIMER!!! Steemit 24/7, with some sleeps & smoothies inbetween! This is only the quiet before the storm! You'll seeeeee......

We love living in our converted school bus!

You're kidding! I don't know how i didn't know that? The school bus is such a good size, I can really imagine having so much fun. Just not sure how many school busses have made it to Europe? We will find out soon enough....

seems we are all hitting the road this year! :)

Human nature. We weren't designed to sit at desks all our lives!

wow, great idea. do take care of the security as you will be travelling unknown places

Thanks. We will be as secure as we feel we need to be. Here in Bali, I've not locked my front door or car for over two years! And nothing ever went missing ;)

That's awesome. You truly are in a very secured place. Here in India, we are not sure about the security even if we lock the doors :)

A goal of the wife and I has been being able to buy a tiny home, either to use as an RV, or to travel the country and make our way as we may.

I hope your journey turns out to be fruitful!

Thank you. See you on the road my friend!

nice idea

Beautifully crafted piece. You deserve it! Go Sam!

Thanks Danny. I actually put a fair bit on energy into the construction & presentation of these articles. Always appreciated when someone notices this!

Absolutely loving the RV vibes brother, jump into your vortex and be life in all that is to come!

Intention + Vibration = Manifestation 💚💯

Yes yes yes! You know it my bro. Big hugs to you gorgeous family 🏄🏻

I am so glad I found your account. You are such an inspiring person, and you post easily readable content which is a huge plus.
We also agree on the vibration of thoughts subject. (You are what you vibrate) I see that I will learn so much from you! Regarding the mobile home, it is my wish for years now, so I gotta start sending vibrations to the universe. Sorry for the kinda long comment.
Peace be upon you and I wish beautiful and blessed life to you and your family.

Many thanks for your enthusiastic response to my words here. It's always a good boost to hear that I am inspiring people, for that is my ultimate intention.

No doubt you have a thing or two to teach me from your own experiences on this magical journey which is bringing so many of us now to these same conclusions :) Have followed your account for more...

I love that school truck with the additional floor. Looks very "housy" but is probably the literal nightmare for car inspection authorities^^

Are your plans fixed to move back to Southern France? I've heard bad things about the region. It seems to slowly spiraling into chaos..

What I thought about as a traveling home is a saloon carriage aka Pullman (the private jet of the 19th century). I don't know how expensive that still is, but I'm sure there are enough old carriages out there, you can get everywhere with them and they are big enough to have space for a scooter to explore the environment.

For sure that school bus ain't legal on the road! And I wouldn't like to drive it in high wind.

What have you heard about the South of France?

We lived there for a year before Esteban was born and found it to be amazing. It's a pretty stunning region.

I will look up some images of the Pullman now... thanks for the tip ;)

A former neighbor has - or had - a vacation home for decades in the mountains near Perpignan where his wife is from. He (and also his wife) are Jewish and it was never a problem of any sort. But since a few years the mood got more rough with some of the newer locals who discovered political Islam. Long story short: He they had enough problems that they decided to sell everything and his wife's family moved to Israel. My impression is that the temperature starts increasing to uncomfortable levels, not sure if that's the best for children.. But since your wife is a local, she probably knows better what is going on and where things are still ok.

About the carriage: If you find something up to date, I'd love to read about it. Just imagine sitting in your own carriage (nude!) with a good drink in your hand while the landscape passes by;-)
