New Beggings With Van: Leave Everything Behind And Go To The Hottest Spot in Europe
Travelling is my way of life. In a small company of a friend and 2 dogs we go with a van across the Europe without any savings. It was radical decision: leave all ! and go to the sun, but it's worth it. After some months of travelling occasionally, on the Malaga beach, i met a guy from Sweden, and he started to tell me a story about Steemit project, after i said "Im in!", it is ideal place for sharing works, ideas and discover new technologies in action.
I grew up in Belarus, and then emigrated to Lithuania at age 16. I always had a strong feeling that i shouldn't stop. I shouldn't stay in one place with closed borders and post-soviet aesthetic. Idea of moving all the time, and see different varieties of living was really maniac.
And after i was 23 i found a way to bring my idea to life. Decision came occasionally, but if you search an answer you will find it. We bought an old van (30 years old, khe-khe) and left Lithuania in 2 weeks, moving throughout all Europe to Spain. To the extreme point - Tarifa, land of surfers and Atlantic ocean. And you know, it was one of the best decisions in my life.

Basically, idea about buying a car (van) and go to travel not so new. But it is not about idea, it is about realization of the idea in a long story full of adventures and discoverings.
The point is not to be scared of leaving "normal" or more comfortable life, because when you make first step it is not so scary anymore . And everyday it is getting more and more fascinating, seriously. The van gave a freedom of high-costed rents, and Spain gave an opportunity to get free food and sun almost 300 days per year. Sure, everything not so easy, because with freedom comes huge responsibility, how you manage your time and skills.
So, i present my story.
