Hi Patricia, I'm also a 50+ female vanlifer, but from Germany and one lesson I've learned is: I'm not on earth to meet anyones expectations but mine! You are thinking so much about what others here on U2b might expect from your videos and you don't even know them! It's your life, your channel and your possibilities, your resources of time & money; your physical & psycological resources! So be brave to do what you want to do and don't waste time to meet expectations of people who don't know you! Best wishes from Spain, where I'm currently with my van 😊
True! ❤
Great advice
Indeed!
Working at Walmart and living in your van in my opinion, is so convenient. You can shop. Get your employee discount. Come out on break and check on your pup. One of the things I like about your channel is that it's real life. Simple. Taking care of your needs. Travel and adventure will happen when it's the right time. Stay well and safe. ✌️
Travel Centers of America hire people who live in a vehicles.
They have free overnight parking and showers for employees.
Wow that’s good to know, thanks for sharing! And thank you for watching!
Hey that’s good to know 👍
I agree with you on alot of things but I disagree on something you said because I think your videos are Instagram perfect. Today's for instance, you had a great time playing with Bogie, drove to work, made a meal, got ready for work and walked from your home to work, then had a coffee-less talk with us. You are blessed to be able to realize what you need and what's important to you right now and being able to build community, which you shared in your last two videos...thanks for blessing us by sharing your journey
Thank you Holla, I love this … thank you always for your kind words and support! I’m so happy to see you back in the comments! I answered your email, hope you received it! 🫶🏼 P.S. “coffee-less talk” I laughed out loud 😆
If there is something you do not feel comfortable talking about or going into detail on , don't.
I personally would definitely not informed the viewer's that the fellow employee was assisting you with your mail. That is strictly between the two of you.
And you said that giving out your exact location was
not in your plans so why did you change that choice.
Be happy and PLEASE stop sounding like you are making excuses for believing in GOD of the HOLY BIBLE or whatever your Faith or religion is.
Stop being so hard on yourself 😁.
💓🙏🏽
Totally agree ❤❤
I'm 55 and I work at a feed and seed "big box store" in middle Georgia. My experience is so similar, my work has been a blessing and I truly love it! I got this job in September '23 to save up to get out of a bad marriage. I have saved enough to buy my little rv, I am on the search, and I plan on working while living life "on the road" with peace and happiness! I hope to run in to you one day on our nomadic adventures! God bless!! 🙏🏻❤️💯💪🏻
Best of luck! Good plan.
That is awesome! Good luck in finding your perfect home on wheels! ❤️🙏
Do you have a Patreon account.
@@rusty8719No, not yet, but hopefully I will be soon be putting out some content on my adventures on the road! 😊👍🏻
Keep saving Ma'am. Even when you are out on your own, keep stacking, so you will never ever have to depend on others. Trust me, it is FREEDOM.
As an former Executive in the hospitality industry for 30+years. I work seasonal positions as a cook in resorts. Work to live, not live to work.. should have listened to others long ago!! 🕊️ Peace
Managers hate it when I tell them my version, "I have a life that is interrupted by work. Not the other way around."
Agree 💯 thanks for being here!
Please remove that claw choker. They are inhumane.🐾❤He is well trained.
I did that for 8 years and loved every minute if it.
Me tooooo
Your living your life, your way. That is everything.
Yes! Thank’s for being here!
My guess was right. I thought u worked at Walmart. I used to work for them. I worked full time in e commerce. I did the same job you are. Good video. You should find a food pantry. They make the food budget stretch. I use one.
Thank you for the suggestion, I will check out food pantry! And, Thank you for watching!
I volunteer at one for a few hours- they always send you home with more than enough, especially vegetables. I don’t have much room.
I use a food pantry too! They are wonderful! Nice volunteers+ a sense of community!
@@LilyGazouHi Lily I just found this channel ❤.
People who work should not need a food pantry. This is why I haven't stepped foot in a Wal-Mart in 25+ years. They should pay a living wage.
Thanks for sharing your life experience. I just turned 50 and became disabled after working for 30 years. I survive in a effenciency studio with my dog and adult son. And I live in California the most expensive place for food, rent and gas. God bless you and your furry friend.
I too am 50+ female and I too work at Walmart, they have been wonderful to me and I never thought I would be doing what I'm doing but I love it.
I totally agree about not forcing things. Personally, when I have forced things, I have ended up regretting those decisions. I believe in listening to intuition; what feels good, what is authentic. I find that if I let things happen organically, that usually leads to peace and unity.
Exactly, agreed 💯! Thank you for watching!
Happy Easter from CT ! Nothing wrong with working at Walmart , hey I gave up doing heating and air conditioning to drive a school bus. . I have 5 hrs to myself every morning between runs . I drive special needs which is the best , it’s the best job I ever had . Do what makes you happy because life is just too short, I feel like I was 18 just yesterday and woke up one morning and bam 57 😂 . Keep safe as always!
Thanks for what you do.
I love this, making that change have you a job you love! That is awesome! Yes life is short! Thank you for your support, and you keep safe as well!
Oh i understand about the weight loss and how things change. I went from 620 lbs to now 400 lbs. 160 lbs to go.
Keep it up! Congratulations, as well.
Wow! How did you lose that much weight?
As long as your happy it doesn’t matter where you work
OMG a normal person!! I love that I found your channel! We have so much to talk about. LOL!!
Define normal … 😁? lol just kidding. Yes pretty normal here! Thanks for watching!!
I was a manager for Walmart when they first came to San Diego. 1993-2000 I really enjoyed working for them they always work around the employees schedule.
I was supposed to head out in my Rv two years ago but lost 6 of our family members including my mom she was 66.
Then my son got in a really bad accident and lost his best friend he was 23. Been nursing him back to health and now that he’s ok I’ll try to head out soon.
Really enjoy your videos I think we’re the same age. Anyways keep up the great videos. Thank you ❤
So sorry for your loss/es 🙏 ❤️🩹. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos and I hope you get on the road soon! Thanks for the support and thank you for watching!
Hi Patricia. I never comment on these things and you’re the only one I follow. You’re genuine and relatable, and I appreciate that it’s about a real, mature woman’s journey rather than endless good times and adventures. As a 62 year old retired male vet, I appreciate real life journeys, the good and not so good. And it’s nice to see you smile more-Walmart must be doing something good. Also, the situation under the clothes following weight loss goes with our time on the planet-I think you look and sound great-keep it up!
Thank you so much for your support and kind words! And thank you for being here and following along!
Wishing you many blessings on your life's journey
Thank you so much!! 😊 and thank you for watching!
God never abandon these who are humble and truthful… by the way you’re a beautiful woman with a beautiful smile. May God forever bless and protect you 😇🙏💜
Thank you 🙏
I'm a new subscriber and I am year 2 living in my minivan. I'm 60 years old (my profile pic is from decades ago) I work full time as an overnight security guard. I'm a US Navy veteran (just served one hitch as a gunner on an amphibious assault ship, all over the Pacific. Anyway nice to meet you and I like that you're just showing everyday life living in a van 👍
I updated my profile picture, this is me now
Hi, veteran HM2 here.
your doing a great job..im 56, lived in Athens georga for 5 years in an RV with my dog. worked as a tow truck driver..i was able to take my dog with me to work..now i live in Arizona.. stay blessed
That is awesome! I just visited Athens a few weeks ago, cute town! Thanks for watching!
I live in Northeast Georgia and visit Walmart often. I am usually in a tizzy trying to find what I’m looking for, but after seeing your video, I think I’ll slow down and keep an eye out for you. lol. I guess you’re wondering how in the world I’ll find you in such a huge selection of Walmarts. Granted, Northeast Georgia does indeed have quite a few Walmarts, but we make lots of short weekend trips in our campervan, so I’m familiar with most all of them. You never know who you will run into! haha
I work as a cashier at Walmart. I was in the corporate world my whole adult life. Never thought I’d be a cashier. I love it at Walmart. What you have said is so true. It’s a great place to work!
It is a great place to work! Glad to hear a similar experience, thanks for sharing!!
How great that you don't have to search for a place to sleep every night!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. April is my last month in my apartment. I am moving into my van May 1st. I am in the middle of getting my van mechanically sound which has been a roller coaster. I will continue to work at my job. I am 50 years old and am happy to see someone still working and being static!
Congratulations on starting your new life!! And thank you so much for being here!!
You seem like a really sweet and resourceful woman. Keep uploading, all it takes is one video to blow up and your channel will soar! God bless.
Thank you so much!!
This is great!! This is much more needed than many of the van life videos I see. Many people are out here just trying to survive; you are showing one path. And your video is quite interesting, seeing your daily life. I’m autistic and have hard time making friends. I envy your ability to be so relaxed about it. My health has been so bad, for so long, I am afraid to have a ‘real’ job, but listening to you, perhaps I could try. This video is very inspiring to me.
Thank you for sharing, and I’m glad that this video was helpful to you. I wish you the best, and thank you so much for watching!
We are very thankful for Walmart pickup. We started buying our food 3 years ago when my mother broke her neck. We could not be happier with the shopper service. It has been a life saver for us.
That’s great to hear! Thank you for watching!
So far I like this channel, it's simple everyday moseying through a normal day. Not showing off with adventures & stunts. This channel is like hanging out with a friend.
Thank you for this feedback! So happy you are enjoying the videos, and thank you so much for watching!
This is how my channel is it's a small channel but everyone is family. I feel this channel on the right track.
Red nose pitties are the most loyal and intelligent pups and it's absolutely incomprehensible how much they want to make their owners happy .My Rednose passed away 3 years ago almost to the day . God bless you and your beautiful ❤️ nose pittie .
My red nose is extremely loyal, but smart he is not! Lol
@@brendalister7560 🐕😆🦮
@@brendalister7560 come on, he's smart in his own way I'm sure 🤔😁
I love how you show your real life in a van. You’re living the life that is right for you and your doggo. You don’t show an unrealistic depiction of van life. When I retire, I’d love to do what you’re doing. May the universe bless you.
Thanks for giving a voice to people who want to do vanlife, but stay put ,and work in one area.i appreciate seeing this, more than you know!!! Great job ❤
Thank you ❤️
What a wonderful video. Go at your own pace. You are happy and getting happier. Thank you for being so positive and yourself. Everyone stay safe, warm happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thank you so much and thank you for watching!!
Im 55, almost 56, and I'm a Digital Personal Shopper as well. I've lost weight doing my job too. I LOVE the walking and the people i work with...and , yes, I'm BLESSED with great bosses too 😊! I can appreciate taking your time and doing your channel in a way that works best for you. I know people only mean well, but i feel if i focused too much on just how many subscribers and views i got, I'd DEFINITELY stress myself out, lol 😆. You seem to be just fine doing what you're doing. Blessings to you!😁😊
I don’t know that if I was doing something else at Walmart that I would like it. The Digital Personal Shopper is perfect and fits me best! I love it too. Good to hear you love it too! Thank you for the kind words of support! And thank you for watching!
@EatPrayVan I worked in apparel 2 years before OPD, and I did LOVE it but as the Digital Personal Shoppers came through my department, I started asking questions. I LOVE walking, for one, so thought I'd enjoy it. Turns out I do...ALot...even though I feel like it can kick my butt sometimes because it's so physical, I'd much rather do it than a desk job 😊😁.
Just turned 57
Gotta look out for your puppy. Good on you for that!
Yes for sure! Thank you and thanks for watching!!
You look amazing! I know how the quick weight loss causes some serious changes. I've lost over 150 pounds since Oct of 2023. My new body looks is spooky but the feeling is amazing. You have a beautiful heart and look great. Be happy, be safe. God bless you on your journey!🙏🏼🕊️❤️
Congratulations on your weight loss!! Thank you for the compliments and thank you for watching!
Currently, I work at an undisclosed federal detention center and live (when at work) in a 4Runner. Had (2006-12) a Roadtrek 190 Versatile and on one shift the police showed up at work (an emergency department) because my dog, Oscar, was in the vehicle outside. The police could not understand how the AC was running off the generator for Oscar's comfort. And somewhere in between those two job, I worked at HomeDepot stocking shelves while living at home. Life! Thanks for sharing.
That’s crazy about the police showing up! When I leave the van Bogie jumps up to the front seat and it drives me crazy. Because I’m afraid someone will call the police as well! It hasn’t been to the point I’ve need the air conditioner yet (low 70’s at best) But I’ve use the ceiling fan and some little fans to keep the back cool, as well as drawing the curtains. Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!!
Keep it just like it is. This is the type channel I subscribe to. The channel will grow and to be honest I’ve unsubscribed to dozens of channels that hit 30k to 50k subscribers and the ego swells. Keep it simple and thanks for the good content.
I appreciate that, thank you so much!
You're doing just fine. You and your little baby there. You do you and you'll be just fine
Thank you so much and thank you for watching!
Thank you again for sharing your journey and bogey with us. I just love your realness and your day today Vanlife it’s refreshing, and I think for all of us who are in sticks and bricks are very interested in seeing your journey.
Thank you for support and kind words as always! 🫶🏼
Loved this video. You will be such a great inspiration for other women to go down this journey as you have so successfully done. I am 70 and lived alone with my cat Kip in a senior high rise.....outside of Cincinnati. I hate it here.....the people are rude...its way to fast pace.......but I did it for my grandchildren. I felt like in moving to the 10th floor overlooking the big city.....above it all...the traffic....etc.....I'm able to find peace and quiet I so desperately need right now. I'm in chronic daily pain.......so I don't ever go out except for doc appts. And all of this is ok. I've learned to live in peace and harmony....read, crochet and draw to keep me busy and keep creative juices flowing....even at my age. So I am really in a very similar place as you are right now.....I just have to stay inside most of the time and enjoy my high rise view. I write a column each month for the local newspaper on just the things you talked about today. ........crochet prayer shawls for the other ladies in the building......or babies on the way for others.....so I do try and keep busy. Thank you for sharing.......really enjoyed watching you and hope to see more. I only have one thing to ask you....or to suggest rather. You have much to be proud of my dear.......and have an absolutely beautiful face and especially your smile. Please use it more often in your videos........we hear the words......and want to see how deeply it has effected your life. My mom taught me this as I grew up........smile my dear she would say.....someone out there needs to feel your love and happiness. Anyway....sorry for rambling. Take care!!!!! hugs
I loved your ramblings lol thank you so much for sharing your story with me! I’m glad you are enjoying the channel. I do try to smile but the New Yorker in me sometimes has control more often than not. I will keep in mind what your mom said to you and smile more often! Thank you so much for watching! Take care as well and hugs back!
I think its so brave and awesome that you posted this. It's different and I like it. : ) BTW Kuddos to Walmart for letting you post.
And thank you also to giving a voice to people who choose not to work their life away at someone's whim. I too work around my dogs, especially now that my Lucy is 14. I know I'll never regret making time with her #1
Thank you so much for your support!
Continue to be genuine and honest. Thanks for the honesty.
Thank you, will do! And, thank you for watching!
I think some people completely miss the fact that a great many people to live full-time in a van, cargo trailer, RV, camper, etc., ARE just living everyday lives. And, for many of us who follow different channels like yours, we appreciate seeing the REALITY of the mundane. Most people DO have mundane lives, interspersed with periods of adventure and excitement. And, for some nomads, they quite literally had no other choice. It's not about the adventure for them. It's survival. So, as I see it, you're probably more typical and you're doing everything you need to have a decent life that are comfortable with. The cool thing is you have much more flexibility than "normies" and can take advantage of that if the timing is right. Kudos to you.
Thank you 🙏
Yur dog needs much loving care please dont forget he is loyal to yu and do care for him ...bless yur days both..he dogy looks smart...sweet ..
Yep vanlife is simply living in a van, car, suv and even motorcycle...and it is not always glamour, because half if not all "vanlife" is like you and I just living in our vehicle til we do get the chance to go further than our comfort zone
For sure 💯, thank you for watching!
Patricia..... we're so proud of you and the courage and endeavour that you transmit. Top lady. 😊😊❤
Thank you and thank YOU for being here!
@@EatPrayVan you're welcome Patricia.
We all love you & your videos because your honest & straight up & being sooooo realistic. Your not all about becoming a UA-cam celebrity & money hungry by not doing what's best for yourself & Bogie. I'm very happy that you can put yourself & Bogie & your job first & not to overwhelm yourself especially at this time when your doing your best just to make ends meet & hoping to get ahead by saving for traveling around one day but your smart enough to not put deadlines on yourself & rush things & push too hard & then stressing out & regretting that you didn't take longer & have the patience to wait. God & your guides will give you the means & confidence when the time is right to take the next step without worries....not for others & subscribers to push you or ridicule you by the way you do things .....slowly & not forcefully. A realist! Your unique because many van dwellers are knocking themselves out by entertaining & traveling constantly to give adventures to their subscribers & for content mainly about the many sites in every state & thinking that's the only way to keep, make subscribers & the only way to make money on UA-cam. Your different & we love that as UA-cam is saturated with "Travelers" & your showing real day to day life that shows others that they can start off as a Nomad for survival without having any savings or family or starting off with a wad of money to travel immediately after becoming a UA-cam creator & never worrying about having a budget or many repair costs & maintenance on their vehicles. You are intelligent enough to know that others most likely won't have it easy & perfect when they start out especially when they have nothing except for a used vehicle & 1 tank of gas. They would be screwed if they did not do exactly the way you did everything & continuing to accomplish more as time goes on even if it takes years to achieve future accomplishments. They need to know & see that depending on their financial circumstances that they cannot hop in a vehicle tomorrow & start a UA-cam paid channel immediately & land a job to get a paycheck in a week to cover all their expenses like many UA-cam creators that convey those unrealistic ideas in other people's head that could end up putting them in a more stressful & worse financial situation than they were starting out & being convinced by those Nomads that things could only get easier & better. You never do that... Your not trying to be like everybody else or compete with other Nomads.... That's what gets boring.... Same ole.... Same ole. You ARE sooooo UNIQUE & myself & others appreciate & respect you even more!

Awww Joyce I love this comment! Thank you so much! 😊 Thank you for saying all of that, I really appreciate that you see me and understand me! ❤️ Thank you for your support as always and thank you for being here!
Hi Patricia, I'm 55 and plan to do van life in the next couple of years. I really enjoyed this video because of your attitude and how you look at life and you are absolutely right! I also completely understand about losing weight and how your body changes and how its not like it was...it's okay because the important thing is you are healthier now and I imagine that also makes van life even better. I say good for you and I totally support what you are doing. You just do you and that will bring the followers, you are genuine and people appreciate that! I'm now a follower because you are down to earth and are genuine. So thank you and I look forward to watching more of your videos! Stay safe, Holly
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I wish you the best on your journey as well!
same, I'm 58 and look foward to it
Happy Easter!
Happy Belated Easter 🐣 hope you had a good weekend!
All jobs have value period and you with your wonderful dog can go anywhere anytime god bless you stay strong
I appreciate that!
I am 60 and was planning to do the same a few years ago when I lost my job. My house was getting ready to be sold and just in the nik of time I found a job that would work for me. I had 4 pets at the time and I struggled thinking how would I figure that one out. Two cats a large dog and a small dog. No help from supposed friends and family who I always helped out. I decided the universe will point you in the right direction and for me it wasn't time to sell the house. The friends and family I disconnected from them all. So do I care when they think? Nope. I like seeing everyones van life, its always my back up plan. I like seeing how people make it work, that is the real life.
I disconnected from my whole family as well. Sometimes that’s just how it is! I hope you are able to start your adventure one day! Thank you for watching!
@@EatPrayVan I'm 60 and retiring at 68 is the plan. So right now stabilizing my finances for retirement, which is not far away. Yes I do plan on traveling with a van when I retire.
New sub here! I love your story and we just bought a 2015 Class B at 60 yrs old! I’m a retired RN, but want to Just find a job few hrs a week to sub retirement. You are so inspiring and beautiful! Love your style and your van!
Congratulations and welcome! Thank you so much for your kind words of support!
I appreciated your rawness, it can be a good thing, and always follow your gut cause it doesn't lie, and it doesn't try to reason like the mind does.
Yes the “gut feeling” always knows! Thank you for your support!
Have a Blessed Easter! If you were near my location you can bet that I would invite you & Bogie over for a nice Easter dinner..... All homemade from scratch. Big Momma here. XO
Hi Big Momma - that is a very kind offer! Maybe one day me and Bogie will come by for a visit! Hope you had a good Easter weekend!
That would be wonderful!
Frankly it’s quite refreshing to have a UA-camr who is more stationary and not going from one place to another every few days and one meetup to another like they are scared to sit still too long. The way you are going about it is frankly more realistic
Being able to stand up in your van makes such a big difference
Totally agree 💯
I found this to be so also. Especially on rainy days.
Where does your dog stay when your at work?
In the van. It’s a Class B RV van. I work 5.5 hours … I come out 1/2 way through to feed and walk him.
I want a class B vehicle.
Does it not get too hot in the summer for your sweet boy to stay in the van? Here where I live it definitely does. 😅
Heck, with the insane cost of rent, property/ mortgage, property taxes, insurance, utilities, trash etc today, and to be at work 40 plus hours, 5 days a week not able to even enjoy it, your smart to do this!
Don’t forget to add the not so nice neighbors! At least Patricia can move her van if her neighbor is being an a** 😂
It does make life a little better not having so many costs to keep up with. Thank you and thank you so much for watching!
I work for the big W too. Some store are better than others for sure. Glad you found a good one open to your lifestyle. Glad you are feeling better too 😊
Thank you 🙏
Not sure if you changed anything about your setup but the stabilized video while you were holding the camera is a huge improvement to your video quality! So nice seeing your progress in video filming and editing
Edit: also your different camera angles! 🤌🏻 chef’s kiss
I didn’t really change anything but trying to be more conscious of holding my phone (camera) better. Hopefully can buy one of those camera stabilizers one of these days! Yes also trying to be better about multiple angles as well! Thank you for the feedback, very much appreciated! And, thank you for watching!
Thanks for a great video! I feel you are giving hope to many and appreciate your courage/honesty. Happiness comes from within!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching!
I watch you become it's close to real as you can get. It makes sense for me.
Awww thanks! And, thank you for watching!!
All people should be as blessed as you Patricia.. in having the work situation and managers as you have at the present moment. How wonderful! Instragram perfect You tube channels isn’t my cup of tea because I can’t relate to it..your channel is so relatable and real. One day I’ll hit the road too with my corgi and hope to meet you and Bogie down the road . Continued blessings and travels Patricia… give Bogie and big hug for me!
Yes I feel very blessed, thank you for your kind words! You and your corgi will get there too! (What’s your Corgi’s name?) I forget names but I’ll try to remember. Thank you for your support as always! I will give Bogie a hug from you!
Her name is Luna Belle:)
It's a job be happy you could go anywhere and work at Walmart
Yes 💯, thank you for watching!
You got this.
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
I just recently found your channel, and I'm enjoying joining you. You do you! That's a major part of Van Life, living YOUR life, by YOUR rules, YOUR choices. We watch, follow, and enjoy just your experiences. You are showing another side of life, another option, more choices in how van life can be lived. I actually love the diversity that you show.
Thank you, I will be going into van life to get away from an abusive situation, and I will keep Walmart in mind once I get my van repaired and am no longer needed to help care for my stepmom, (Dad is 85, so does need my help at times).
Awesome, good luck to you!
Good stuff. You're an inspiration.
I appreciate that! Thank you!
I love your story and your presentation. You are a beautiful young lady. You are upbeat, gracious, and considerate of others. You will do well. Thanks for sharing your story….
Your adorable. Glad u popped in my channel. Look forward to your videos.

Yes, he does! Thank you for watching!
What a lovely and simple life you two share. Plus all that love! Thanks so much for sharing. You take care and stay well. 🌷
Thank you so much for your support and thank you for watching! 🪻
Your smart to work and save 😊
And yes you do have talent ⚘️
When it gets to hot 🔥 then you move on and chase 70 degree weather 😊
I enjoy/prefer the 'everyday' vanlife types. It can be stationary or traveling, but I could really care less about tourist sights, hikes, etc. I want to see mundane living in and around the van.
lol totally mundane here at the moment, thanks for watching!
I have sent you a little something for you and pup for something to eat… I’m able to do this small part… and I know you don’t ask… I pray you are both doing well! From one sister to another!
Thank you so much! I did reply in PayPal, so very generous and kind! Thank you again! ❤️
You are so right , a humble stress free job is so good. One of my favourite jobs - housemaid at a hotel. I’m 61yo now and work in a call centre with people nearly 40yrs younger and I love it. They keep me young, love the customers. And routine.
I will kit out a van this winter and will work 3-4 days per week and 3 -4 days in a van 🚐.
Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Wonderful!! I love that!
I just came across your you tube channel and I really enjoyed Watching your video. So Very relatable and down to earth. Thank you for this message and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. God Bless..
I agree with you and if I was in your shoes, I would do the same thing. I think you are doing a great thing and good luck! And love that fur baby!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!!
Congratulations on your adventure that's what life is. You have accepted your life which is something many people never achieve. God bless you stay safe.

I was never really good at listening to others lol ask my mother 😁! Yes will always be myself, I’m also not good at being fake or competing with others! Thank you as always for your kind words!! Hugs to you from me and Bogie 🐕🫶🏼😊🚐
Very good, very positive.
Thank you 🙏
Most people are wonderful, but we can‘t deny there are also some misfits on the way and they can be pretty upsetting, that's why I believe that discretion in some matters of personal life is always advisable. All the best for the channel! 💐🍀
Thanks for watching!
Hello Patricia. Thank you for your honesty. Great video. I'm definitely thinking of the local van life, for now. You inspire me. Safe travels 😊
You’re very welcome! So good to hear that you are thinking of local Vanlife and that my video was helpful to you! It’s definitely changed my life for the better! Thank you for watching! 😊
Hi from Canada! Don't worry what people think. It's your life, enjoy it! I think it it's amazing what you are doing. Here in Canada the winter season is too cold for this or I would live in a van as well. Give a big hug to Bogey for me his is so adorable. All the best:)
Will pass along a hug to Bogie! Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I love your courage to follow the path you feel is right for you. I'm just beginning my Van Life endeavor. I am a massage therapist with regular clientele and own a manufactured home in a 55+ community in Florida. Recently, I bought a minivan, which I'm making payments on. But once it's paid off, I've been trying to figure out how I can be free to move away from Florida, where the summers may be a little cooler, and still earn enough money to support my van life. So far, I just go camping in it once in a while. Your video helps me to realize there are other options in terms of earning a living. Wishing you and Bogie continued happiness!
I am going to binge watch to catch up. Thank you so much for taking time to answer me. Hardly no content creators do that!!! I love the set up you have now for you and your pup. Your channel is growing fast that's exciting. Wishing you the best in health and happiness. I intend to get caught up and follow right along.
Not gonna lie, it’s hard to keep up with the comments and I’m still catching up … but I’d like to try! Very kind things of you to say! Thank you for your support and hope you enjoy the videos!

Hi Patricia, I came across your channel and I love it! Currently, I am also living in my RV as I lost my home last October. I have a 1989 Tioga RV, which I find very comfortable, and I'm currently in the process of repairing and renovating it.
I’m sorry to hear about loosing your home, and excited for you that you are in the process of repairing and renovating your new home! Wishing you the best in your new chapter!
Life is THEE adventure, and window shopping into your version of it is very entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watch watching!

Hi Patricia & Bogie! I am new to your channel. I have to say that I admire that you have a positive attitude and fortitude. Also I love Bogie, he may have his disabilities but he seems like a very good boy and you are a caring dog mom. Even when you at times feel down, you keep on going, yay!!! Happy Easter, and love you two. 🙂👍🐶🌷🫶🦋🌿
Thanks so much! Hope you had a lovely Easter weekend! Thank you for watching!
Awww, my puppy's name is Bogie as well! Nice van. Love the video
Your channel is perfect because you are “real” and living your life the way you want.
That is what van life is all about.
Each person’s life is unique.
Enjoy each day with your sweet pup as we are not promised tomorrow.
God bless you and keep you.
😊🚐
Thank you so much 🙏
Hey Patricia I'm glad you feel comfortable sharing where you work with us I pretty much knew already but I figured you would tell us when you are ready. Looking forward to those new videos God bless you and Bogey stay safe and keep having fun love you guys.
Thank you 🙏
Your home and life style is your own. You do your thing...and its van life. As long as you are happy, you and your puppy. Nice to have nice people.....make us faith in people. God Bless and happy trails, even if they are mini. Regards from Québec, Canada ❤️🐾
Thank you so much for your support!
Hi Patricia, nice to meet you. Your honesty wanted me to subscribe to you. The normal essential of living a life, and the adventure of living in your vehicle is interesting to me.
I hope everything works out for you.
I don’t think I could do that, but I find people who do fascinating.
Keep safe & free❣️😊💗
