Hey there, thanks for your comment.
I think we hold to the same thoughts here, about that haven situation and how selective we are with who enters it. Thinking back a while to caveman days...Should someone arrive at the front of the cave unannounced it was probably not going to end well, or at least, protection-instincts would initiate. Of course, socialising happened also and I can only assume it was done selectively. I see no reason to not to do the same now. A person's home is the one place they can close the door and reside in safety and comfort away from the rush of society around them. For me, that is sacred.
It's interesting how your perspective altered a little with your move. I understand it. I'm not an unfriendly person at all, but I like my privacy, and the one place I can ensure it is at home. It makes sense to me, if not to others.
Van-life and cabin home base? You're talking my language!
