Hi! I thought I would make a post since I noticed a couple ppl posting about making friends on the road and finding community.I’ve been on the road with my partner for about a year and a half. Last year we got stuck in the PNW through the winter and found ourselves having a tough time. After the winter we connected IRL with this group called Diversify Vanlife that I had followed on IG for a long time. They focus on creating inclusive spaces and sharing information in the vanlife community that amplifies the voices of often marginalized groups like BIPOC/LGBTQ folx. Being a queer first gen Cuban American, It was nice to meet other vanlifers that I could relate to and really resonated with.The DV team invited us to a welcome weekend at a Kift house and we have stayed connected to both communities ever since. Kift is a DAO which stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization. We are a community of nomads that work together to build an intentional community that respects the lands that we occupy, we support one another and create a space where everyone’s voice is heard. As a decentralized organization we vote on everything we do. We currently have 4 community houses along the west coast. We go to vanlife events and we do caravans throughout the year. There’s a group that went down to Baja last week. They’ll be there until March. Others will be at different vanlife events scattered throughout the country. We communicate on discord and you can tune in to any of our pod meetings to see what we’re doing. We often have free welcome weekends, so you can come visit with your rig and stay the weekend.Living on the road doesn’t have to be isolated all the time. It’s nice to meet other people that live nomadically and you can sync up with for a moment and enjoy each others company before your next stretch of travel or adventure. It felt so good to just laugh about all the breakdowns and misfortunes and really appreciate that at the end of the day we are going through these ups and downs living our best life on the road - chasing our dreams and living within their reach. Hope this is helpful to someone!Thanks for reading! Safe travels! 💗✨Kift FREE welcome weekends : https://ift.tt/PnNktdS : @kiftlife Discord : https://ift.tt/nAT40Bq vanlife IG : @Diversify.vanlife Discord : https://ift.tt/m6hxI10
