I Lived and Traveled in a Van With My Mom For Weeks, and It Was Both Awesome and Terrible

After about a month of traveling, I grew pretty homesick. I missed my cats, my friends, and my bedroom, and I found it difficult to enjoy the things my mother and I were doing because I just wanted to go home. When you're living in a van, you can do and see so much, but to a certain extent, you can cut yourself off from a lot, too. Finding a balance was difficult, and that's likely what eventually made me give up the van life.
