Hello /trv/lers,
I'm completely new to traveling. I live in northern Germany in a smaller village and I'm 19 years old, and lately I feel like actually doing more than just drinking with the same faggots every weekend and I want to experience things.
My plan for now is just to drive away for weekends, to nice areas in Germany, for as long as my money allows. But I don't want to pay money for hostels, so I was wondering if anyone here had any experiences with sleeping in your car and could give me advice.
Don't have a van, but its a long car (pic related, it's my car) and I can pull back the back seats so I could theoretically sleep there.

I did it only once but I wasn't travelling.
The first thing that come in mind is the problem with the cold (eventually bring with you a blanket).
Anyway what are your concerns about sleeping in your blue car?
Good luck!

there's not much advice needed for sleeping in a car
just remember to lock your doors
also like the other guy said, bring a blanket
i slept once in my car, it was a bit tight and cramped, but it was ok

Well my concerns are how safe it is to sleep in my car and I also read somewhere to always keep a window slightly open to get some air in, I'm just a paranoid fucker who always thinks he'll get killed

>always keep a window slightly open to get some air in
Why do you think it's a gas chamber or something?

It's a day to day trick! Since you're into survival you could need
a camp stove,
a spare tire, some battery, a usb lan,other basic tools maybe,
a map with some ads of yours concerning your interests, spots and services could buy you some time and achieve savings.
If you want spontaneity you could find valuable informations about the place into offices or library like where you could park.
Eventually a GPS system can help with the gas consumption on the long term.
Also some sun visor for the windows, different sort of clothing, meds or just vitamins, a light and you'll be good to go.
I can't wait to pack myself.

In the US, I always sleep in truck stops and campgrounds. The biggest problem is falling asleep with all the big rigs running around me and streetlights shining in my face.
I'm not sure if you have these in Europe though. You can get problems from the police if you just park on the street or in a random parking lot here.
