We're a nomadic family living full time in a van. We seek as much freedom this way as is possible for us in today's world. We are anarchists, hippies and nomads. Come with us on an amazing journey through life, because life is just awesome :).
We share our findings and reflections from nomadic life on the youtube channel "Karel od Martiny" in Czech language.

Since we use mostly cloth diapers (not just because normal diapers don't fit our budget), we have to stretch the clothesline very often.

When I was building the van, I didn't know what to put on the door for a long time. We have wood paneling all over the walls, but it just didn't seem right for the doors. Eventually, of course, I put it off until it was too late and there was no time to think of anything fancy. So I decided to simply take the leftover lino we used for the floor and screw it in so that the bottom white side was looking out at us. Then I bought a bunch of markers and watercolor paints, with the idea of letting the kids use the door as a place to paint. It was a great idea.
The first photo shows little Ed, who just got markers for Christmas. A year later, we started using brushes and watercolor paints and the door has improved greatly.

Last year we were trying to make our first bigger (2 days long) trail with the little one and Kvido the dog. It was beautiful. Martina was already pregnant by this time. Pregnant, carrying huge bagpack, sleeping under stars and breastfeeding on the rock. What a woman.
What the fuck happened to me in last two years?
(for Czech readers: https://atedskoc.cz/?p=200 )
In the last two years, the quality of my everyday lived reality has reached a completely new level. A level that I never thought was possible. I feel like I've been reborn. Every day is experienced with ease and without any struggle. All problems turned into interesting games, communication is not a problem, I no longer feel embarrassed, I've stopped being nervous, and I've experienced the wonderful feeling of being spontaneous, switching off my mind and letting my body be guided by a the famous magical flow experienced by artists, athletes, and others.
It's as if I had lived with a bag over my head for 29 years. It's as if I had a transparent curtain around me since puberty, which has now been lifted. It's as if I were whole life underwater and now emerged and discovered that I can breathe normally. Life is suddenly beautiful and easy. I feel beautiful myself (even if it may sound egoistic, it's just how it is), and everyone is beautiful in some way. I can play with children for hours without suffering and constantly checking the time and... well, that's probably enough, I think you get it.
Lets get to the question of what the fuck caused this tremendous change? The answer is - I don't know. I have absolutely no idea. But I can write down things that I have changed or done in the last two years, and maybe it will inspire someone with similar feelings of not living fully, with feelings, that there must be something better, otherwise this life just kind of sucks. This is how I eventually got to the "something better" I have sought after for years.
1- My second son was born.
2- I stopped working in my field and started living extremely minimalisticaly, doing only things that I enjoy + doing a few primitive odd jobs just for money (maximum 3 months per year).
3- I started living with my family in a van as nomads. Full time. Most of the year, I don't worry about what will happen tomorrow, in a week, or in a month, we just exist.
4- I did ayahuasca. Twice. During the first experience, I relived my own birth (which helped me to resolve issues with my mother), and during the second, I literally crashed to the ground and briefly died (experiencing that famous and infinite nothingness) and spent hours reconstructing reality back thought by thought.
5- I started eating a carnivorous diet and gained an unprecedented amount of energy every day.
6- I got into bitcoin/cryptoanarchist/anarchocapitalist/lunarpunk community and found out what freedom truly means.
Something from this list caused it (or I think so). It could have been just one thing. It could have been everything together. Or something completely different. Who knows. Maybe try something and see. I wish you a happy journey :).
Do you have similar feelings with something you started few years back?

Animal encounters during traveling (and I did not capture the dolphins and many others). Biology lessons live :).

Thank you very much, I think I'm starting to feel like trying habla soon.
Chilling evening atmosphere at our place (classical van and teepee combo) with beautiful stars and moon. Lets make some fire.

I just found myself on a list of “Suggested popular nostr accounts” under section “parenting”. Feels like winning some sort of price :).
Take s look on others, if you want to find more people not posting only about bitcoin.
