Default 24 year old college graduate living in my Cherokee and LOVING IT

Hey guys!

I am a 24 year old recent college grad who entered the workforce and bailed almost immediately after 1 year to live on the road.

I've dreamt of traveling the world in a vehicle I can live out of for as long as I can remember. I think it was a combination of fear, doubt, and pressure to do what I'm "supposed to" that kept me from realizing the dream. But I knew as soon as I got my first job that the office life wasn't for me.

I spent the last couple months modifying my jeep to be my mobile home and took the plunge a couple of days ago. I am video documenting my travels, hardships, successes, etc. If you are interested, you can check out my first few videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwz...efayEzciYTGzyg

I even have a tour of my jeep and how I live in it on there.

And of course, if you guys like this and want to see more, I'll take tons of pictures of whatever you want to see and throw 'em up.

Let me know what you think!

I'm always amazed at what people choose to live in. As much as i love my XJ, my two dogs and girlfriend would be a little less enthusiastic about this. Look forward to looking through your posts!

Just watched some of your vids. It's great to see someone go on their own path like this. I think most of us feel the same as you about the prison of work and bills, at least you've got the ***** to do something about it. Safe travels and good luck out there.
