My Whereabouts - October 2025: Northwest Illinois
Since I live in my van I thought I’d share my general whereabouts and what I’m doing here.
I’m in northwest Illinois…
I’ve been at a campground since mid-April and will be here for another week or two or who knows when.
This is my hometown area…
I come here every year to get medical appointments taken care of and to see family and friends.
I’ve also been helping my aunt who lives here. She has mild dementia and still lives at home. I have Caregivers who also help. This is especially helpful when I can’t be here.
I never used to stay the entire season but, the past few years, it’s worked out that way.
For now, I enjoy being here long term. However… as a woman I hold the irrevocable right to change my mind on a moments notice without warning or just cause 😉
My plan for heading south…
During the winter months I head to sunny south Florida to spend time with my daughter and escape the northern winters that can be brutal in a van.
The campground I’m staying at closes the end of October. If it’s not too darn cold, I may go to a nearby State Park for a bit. On the other hand, I may decide to head south sooner.
Truth is, I don’t have a defined exit plan for leaving northwest Illinois… I just wing it!
