Month: December 2023

So, we started out watching a video about a girl going on a trip in an N-Van to a tourist destination in Japan, then watched the couple in the video above ride an actual Thomas the Tank Engine steam train in Japan followed by a stop at a scenic suspension bridge, and then I wound up watching a long, long video (below) of a guy living in a box conversion on the back of a Toyota pickup truck for the winter which was oddly relaxing. In each video, the people slept or lived in the back of their vehicles.

I think these kinds of videos appeal to me because there’s a sense of freedom involved in not being tied down to one location. There must be a lot of hidden costs and complexities involved, but it feels like simple living and an escape from reality while watching from this side of the screen.
