For almost a year, the van life was a reality for me. I built an entire studio apartment in my Kia Soul and went to all the Southwestern & West Coast States, visiting places from White Sands, New Mexico to the vortexes in Sedona, Arizona to Seattle, Washington. During this time, I kept myself company with TikTok, but it was a lonely platform, nothing like Nostr. In two Nostr events I attended, I had more fun than I did traveling by myself. I would like to adventure out that way again for Nostr events. I want to ride those utv's in the Arizona dirt. I would like to take a hot air balloon ride. I want to go to more state and national parks. I need more exploration. I fell in love with nature on this road trip of a lifetime, but it would be nice to do it with friends this time around.

I wasn't a very good TikTokker because I like talking to people vs staring at a camera talking to myself. I am sharing one of my favorite TikTok videos I made while I was in my housecar. It is nothing fancy, but it is moment in my history.

I do apologize to Stephen Baldwin. I don't know what kind of Mandela Effect my brain had on Bio-Dome, the movie, but I thought Brendan Fraser was in it. He won for celebrity crush back in 1996.
