Story Chasing | Van Life Can Be Unpredictable (quick stop at Austin Tiny Homes) @storychasing | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Van life is very rewarding but can also be unpredictable. After dealing with the Texas winter storm, which I thought I was escaping but didn't, I might just be able to get back home after hunkering down in South Texas until the storm passes. 📍 Get Surfshark VPN at https://Surfshark.deals/storychasing - Enter promo code [storychasing] to get 83% and 3 extra months for FREE!📍
The last couple of videos, including this one, show some of the downsides to van life. This isn't to discourage anyone but to show all the various sides of how living in a van can be both rewarding, and amazing, but also problematic. You just want to be prepared, as much as possible, for some of the issues that can come up when living in a van.
Also, I just had to stop in Austin to see the Austin tiny homes called Village Farm Austin for a tour. There's a sneak peek of this beautiful property and a full video tour of the tiny home village is coming up soon. Make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell so you know when it comes out.

![Best camping chair! Nemo Stargaze [review & set-up]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xvnsafniNAQ/hqdefault.jpg "Best camping chair! Nemo Stargaze [review & set-up]
Best Camping Chair 2021! Nemo Stargaze Recliner Luxury Camping Chair Review & Setup. Ive been searching for the perfect camping chair for years now and I think I finally found it. The Nemo Stargaze Recliner camping chair is one of the most comfortable chairs that are currently on the market, but its also one of the lightest weight. It weighs just 7 pounds in the bag so you can take this chair with you anywhere! I love that its durable and supports heavier weights for bigger guys and women, up to 300 lbs. Check out my review and setup to find out more information on this awesome camp chair!

★ My Story
Hi, Im Amber and in May 2017 I started full time RV living. I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of traveling full time in an RV and creating incredible memories.
After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B van on a Promaster 2500 chassis. Now in my 4th year of RVing in my camper van, Im still loving this RV lifestyle and being a digital nomad. I almost always boondock in nature and really enjoy that off grid living.

![First 48 hours van life Lake Placid NY [got lost hiking]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zbB4q5tHKJU/hqdefault.jpg "First 48 hours van life Lake Placid NY [got lost hiking]
Im so happy to be in Lake Placid NY in the Adirondack Mountains! I had an amazing time hiking, climbing and exploring but got a little lost on my way out. I was able to find my van with the help of All Trails maps that I had thankfully downloaded before the hike, but even with that it was challenging. I also celebrated my 50th birthday (to myself from back in May) at a spa day at Mirror Lake Inn. This is why I love van life so much. I can go anywhere in the van and its just easy. I really love this van life!
Lake Placid is such a beautiful place! If youre ever up here, make sure to stop by Mirror Lake - its one of the most stunning places Ive seen this season.
