Hey, I’m Dingles. My story is a unique one, I have ADHD, Bipolar & Borderline personality disorder. I travel full time in my van with the most incredible man and the perfect little dog.
I decided not to use pharmaceutical medicine for my own health and well-being and also because I didn’t want to lose who I was. When I wasn’t having a low day my energy happiness and who I am as a person was too incredible to give up, so I started to learn my mind and have been learning ways to cope and deal with my mental health. I had an incredible and terrifying spiritual awakening a few years ago which woke me up and made me self aware. Over the years I have been training myself naturally, through power of the mind how to get ahold of my emotions. This blog is going to be about me and my journey mentally and physically as we show you the world living off grid. Hopefully it will help you guys take more control of yourself, and feel like you’re in the driving seat of your own mind. Having these disorders are very hard to cope with and the emotional torment that comes along with it. So if I’m able to help you as I have helped myself over the years then this would be amazing. I travel full time in my van with my boyfriend and little dog. We will also share tips with vanlife and spiritually. It’s going to be nice to get creative and meet likeminded people and hopefully make a positive change in someone else’s life. I feel I’m here to help others, and this way I can do so to those around the world.
When Covid hit, I knew that I couldn’t live this life anymore. We had been working so hard myself running a business and also my partner working an office job as well as working as a wedding videographer. We were both doing minimum 12 hours a day, up at 7am asleep by 4am repeat for years. Saving. When we were told to stay home, my mental health took such a bad turn and thinking we might be trapped for years put so much fear into me. I had to think of the future of being free. That is when vanlife as a way to live came into my mind. We had been using a transit van with our sleeping bag for years just to go out into nature or to have a few drinks with a beautiful view where no neighbours would be to tell us our music was too loud. So we put our savings toward getting a van and doing the van build. We were actually travelling by the end of 2020 which we will touch on within this blog.
