    I met Jayden at my first ever Caravan last fall in Puhrump. We camped close, broke bread together, he shared his cooking with me and I was eavesdropping in his music , he used headphones when on keyboards and had I known he is that talented I would have requested he nor and share it with me. I know right off he is intelligent, compassionate, has a great ...Compass . I doubt he remembers me but I gifted him a luci lite ( with prayers and hopes the Universe offers him an abundance of choices and opportunities...I think of him often and how his Journey is progressing. I plan on at least see some of Sedona town itself and will listen for his magic...
    It's pleases me much to see how well Payden is doing!
    I've learned that Solitude allows my skin to fit right. I've become comfortable with myself. I am my best company...and Friend.
    That's huge for this guy. I wasted so much time chasing after
    Me, Mine, More, Quicker.
    The four corners of the Rat Race.
    I wish Payden a exciting Journey and it be filled with all his needs and desires...such a fine Individual.

    Ty Bob for bringing Jayden into our lives. My heart is fuller having learned of him. Its inspiring to know there are young men like him out in our world making a difference.
    His attitude his manner his belief system that he has shared with us is tremendously uninspiring.
    His music and grace in sharing is a gift to others. Jayden may you experience God's best every day in your life.
    And you too Bob as well ‼️

    Hello Bob, this young person could have been just another cog in someones machine, but instead he struck out on his own and has done well despite the obstetrical put in the path of all Nomads. I'm happy for him and grateful to you Bob for being a linchpin for everyone living this life to count on. I think it was a very good thing whatever it was that put you on the path you are on. Best wishes to you and yours.

    What I love about Bob's interviews is that the interviews are about the people, their lives, motivations, why they are nomadic. They NOT about monotonous: "my under is in this drawer, my socks are in this plastic cabinet ..."
    But rather, little slices of life.
    Thank you.

I still love to travel, but obviously don't have the same stamina as a young person. Best of everything to this young person.

  • @felixcat9318

    To increase the outside living area, consider using inexpensive tarps to make an add-a-room type tent.
    These usually start with an awning with two side walls and a front, all made from fabric like the awning itself.
    Google will have gazillions of images of these, and there's probably videos and blogs on how to make them cheaply using tarps.
    That will allow the full music and cooking set up outside of the van, to still be usable and dry in torrential rain.
    One aspect about spending time on one's own is that it allows you to get to learn more about yourself.
    Once comfortable and at ease in oneself, spending time alone ceases to be something associated with loneliness!
    Its simply a nice time in one's own company!
    To have taken charge of his life and to live as he pleases is giving him a really nice life, and what could be nicer than that.
    This very together man will inspire others to consider the versatility and reliability of a (japanese) mini van and to just travel as they choose without wasting money fitting their van out.

    Wowserz, ma Dude. I 1000% Definitely, Did NOT expect all that out of and from Him... And I Absolutely, Frekkin' LOVED, Every Bit and Part of it, Mr. Wells. I'm not really Nor by No means, into that sort of, kind of Genre of Music, But Just, WOWWW is all I gots to say, man..I WISH that he had a RUclips Channel. It was Truly Amazing, YaLL... Being so Isolated in the Middle of nowhere, by seeing the scenery in the background, then mixing all that with his music he created... It Truly put me str8 into a Very Happy Place... And the Fact that he can play Multiple Instruments is even More impressive to me... His Personality is Equally as Awesome... and I Ain't gunna Lie, Hes also pretty frekkin cute too, yall... But anyways, Awesome Video, Mr Wells... I Can't believe it's been years, since I've been 1 of Your Subscribers, manz... Ya videos Always interested me becuz you're humbled, down to earth and Answered ALOT of My Personal Questions On, With and In the Nomad life. For example, Cheaper Hacks and/Or Products that are wayy cheaper but yet do the very same and exact same job as it's Extremely expensive counterparts... And/Orz, when you Actually Test the products in question ans Give REALL FeedBack and NOT Commercially PAID feedback... Ya tell it like it is...But Anyways yall, Thanks again, Mr Wells for this Video, as always, great job. And to " Jay Jay ", brother, NEVER Change who ya are, dude... Always be You and Continue on spreading your Energy, to Others cutie... Yall be good and safe out there... Take Care yall and Peace

    Jaden, you are so smart for prioritizing travel. No one tells you that you really do start to feel your age at about 40. If I had my 20s and 30s to do over, I would not prioritize working and would do exactly what you are while you have potentially fewer health or mobility issues to consider. You are a brilliant inspiration with a creative rig. Enjoy the world out there!

I'm impressed with the water system that he's created himself and his gym. He's proof that you don't have to abandon the things you enjoy doing the most just to be a Nomad. Jayden's AWESOME!
