I'm a solo everything, not just a nomad. I've been that way for a long time. I recently met someone who gushed to impress me. I accepted his friendship, but when I didn't change to impress him he bolted, yet I'm still the same person he met. I know he's now not worth worrying about, but what's with that? W...

Problem is I've never towed anything before. My biggest dread is losing my 20-30 minute hot showers. Not sure if I can...

Like finding a well priced suitable van just in time for the caravan training course - would have had to wait at least 6 months ofr the next one. And...
