So happy you made this longer video. I'm just some random guy that worries about single female vanlifers safety. Sorry, it's because I'm a dad and can be a little overprotective. I'm sure you are smart enough to have a plan to avoid trouble. Keep posting long videos in the future and don't be nervous or scared. You did amazing. 👍
Completely understandable, I actually run a self defense business & have taken so many classes & teach people online about safety so I have definitely prepared for worst case sceneries, thank you for your kind words!
Beautiful honey. It's nice to hear what happens in van life and things that cost more than you think and things happen that you cant predict on you vehicle. Love you. ❤❤❤❤
If you think about the original pioneers setting out in a covered wagon and horse with zero wi-Fi you start to realise how lucky you are 😂 The longer videos are just the dream so dive in , make them longer , do a vlog over a few days , include the bloopers It’s all gold . We will never forget the first 😎🏴🇺🇸
Tory I love your channel! It is very liberating and I wish I had your knowledge and courage when I was much younger. I wish you immense success and God bless you in your travels!
Tory, you are just an incredible representative of vanlife. I’m really floored by your videos. Your excitement and your sense of wonder is truly inspiring. You’re also extremely beautiful; in so many more ways than your physical appearance alone. Well, before I’m tagged as some kind of creepy old man, I’m going to get to sleep for tonight. I’m starting my build very soon. I already have a short bus lined up. Hope to see you out there. Be safe, and be happy! 🙌🏻
Love that you did this scared! 💯💯💯That's how we do! and also how I did my vanbuild and quit my job and went for it not knowing where the chips would fall. 😅 I'm at the very beginning and learning all the hard stuff as we speak but this is so encouraging to keep going so thank you! oh ps - I am on the west coast now but I'll be on the east coast in June so hopefully we can meet up. Keep doing you, sister! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Excellent video. I just came across your channel and wanted to start watching your videos from the beginning. I am a vanlifer of 3 years in the Toronto area and I can really identify with everything you mentioned in this video. Fantastic first video and look forward to seeing more.
I think it's awesome that you are doing exactly what you set out to do. I want to do it later in my life love to travel and explore, and abandoned places😊
This is AWESOME. Especially the online advice, the hate from people online, and the misogyny. Most people online aren't living this life and will never live this life. They just like to vicariously live through you and pretend they're vanlifers so I ignore the advice. As for the haters, a study showed that the people who commented the most online have personality disorders. They're crazy. That plus jealousy and envy makes them hate you. They have to believe you are a "trust fund Barbie" or you have resources the average person doesn't have to justify why they're not doing anything with their crappy, boring life. I feel sorry for them so every time I see a comment, I say "You poor angry dweeb. Bless your heart. May you one day get out of your parents' basement and create a great life for yourself." Then I hide their comments on UA-cam but they don't know their comments are hidden. 😊 Blessing them - meeting that negativity with positivity - will actually make your feel better and silencing them is just fun. 😂 PS I think ALL the vanlifers on the east coast are in western north Carolina around Asheville. You can't throw a rock without hitting one. Anywhere you have hippies - festivals, retreats, towns - you'll find vanlifers. And Asheville is hippie central.
It's very odd but as I watch your video's, I get a sense that I am just sitting across from an old friend Listening to their tales of adventure, concerns and advice....Well rounded dialogue. Keep the videos coming. Cheers from Canada.
Great job! you do you never mind the naysayers they’ll always be someone to judge and most of them are all trolls anyways that wish hope and want to try what others at up too but to scared to try. Well guess what if you don’t try you will never now. Procrastination! Thanks for sharing and good luck. 🍀👍
oh my gosh i cannot believe this is your first video!!!!!! it looks so professional!!!!! i think you should never worry because you’re doing great, and this video was super helpful! :D thanks!
Stumbled across your channel and love your pretty van. You've done a wonderful job to the interior. Of course us women can do what the male van lifers can do! I like your short videos but I like you explaining things in more detail. I've heard New York is so dangerous! How do you feel safe? I'm in Yorkshire in the UK. My boyfriend has just moved out of his rented house into a van because the rent has increased so much and going up further! He's taken the leap (he could live with me if he wanted. He wants to give van life a try) Liked and subscribed. It looks like it's really working out for you. Lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧 🥰
Absolutely! It is definitely on my list, I am just waiting until I am with a friend so that I have someone else to video it so it’s not me just moving around my tripod every few minutes 😅 But definitely plans for a van tour!
Great vid! Just don't get discouraged because sometimes short views don't translate to full length views right away. I hope you stick with it and good luck!
Thank you so much, for sure! I am already feeling pumped to get out & make another! Everyone has been so kind & supportive on this video & I really appreciate that, I look forward to more in the future!! ☺️
i was getting up to get my dinner that i cooked 3 hours ago, and then your tip popped up plan your build for the laziest version of you. i just burst out laughing, cause the laziest version of me has depression n cant get out of bed till the afternoon. so thats got me thinking bout my van build now, im gona need to keep my voice activated lights now, not just my washing machine.
You ste such a cute. I have no desire for vsn life but can appreciate what you do and how you are "doing it" -Kudos!🤗 I pray the Lords protection upon you!
Real good job. Your personality comes through and is very inviting . Excellent tip: set up for lazy. Thank you for "and that's ok", I can see myself stressing out over the littlest things when I start my build. Ok, if not white paint, then what color?
Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful for you! As far as the paint next time I paint I am going to try to go for not so stark of a white, I originally wanted the brightest white & everything shows up on it so I am going to go for more of a gray white type of color, I’m not sure how to better explain it but I saw a van recently with very light grey walls so it was still light and bright and kept the space looking open but also would hide just the natural everyday scuffs and what not. :)
Hello from Auckland New Zealand. We have a 1971 VW Camper and a 12ft6 travel trailer which we tow with a 1960 Chevy Impala and we have a female german shepherd called Pearl. Our channel is called Little CamperNZ. Have subscribed to your channel to get some ideas and follow your adventures.
Hi Tori my name is Tony I would like to congratulate you on all of your achievements and especially venting on the East Coast I watch a lot of people who van van life in the role on the West Coast I commend you for doing it on the East Coast which I did myself for 3 years now I'm off grid oh I apologize I've noticed that you are saying that you have other videos but you know how UA-cam works it just popped up it must have been an omen well I would like to let you know that I am a dedicated viewer and I would like to see more of your videos so sweetie take care of yourself have a good evening and pleasant dreams and you will be in my prayers
Hi. you are so right to watch female van life videos. the boys and men who open their doors and all sorts of crazy crap are not realistic. my question is why not hotels and hospitals? I thought those would b e perfect?
Yes! Sorry, I should have elaborated on that! It’s not that I don’t use them, I love them they are great, it’s just that for example hotels sometimes they have a list of license plates & a camper van seems like one of the first they’d check. And I never know which hotels are gonna check or when. Plus when I do a hospital or hotel I get there as last as possible and leave early as possible to not be seen or be a nuisance. In comparison to Walmart or Crack Barrel where they have approved overnight camping! & I don’t feel rushed. So it’s not that I don’t use them I just save them as a last resort because they aren’t approved by the companies 😊 So I don’t want to “overuse” them!
I used to be like you being so annoyed at men trying to help me. Wisdom and age may show you that life is easier if you just let men help you. They love it and it makes a woman's life easier.
It's not 'misogynist' to ask a woman if she needs help in a hardware store. Most women are not into stuff like that, and men know this, so seeing a female in there makes them think you might be new to things like that, and they're offering a helping hand. Or it's an opener to ask you on a date. 🤣 I would not take offense if a woman asked if I needed help in a place where mostly women were known to go for items. It just makes sense to me. Don't let the whole "misogyny victimhood" mindset take root in your mind. You'll not have much fun in life if you do. 😉 I see similar when it comes to black people thinking every negative experience they have with a white person must be racism, when it's not. I'd give examples to prove my point, like when people get pulled over by police, but I'll not go into it to keep this post from turning into a book. As for the comments about your brother building it for you? Yeah, kind of silly but, again, it is based on what we see most of the van builds: men built them for the women. Nothing wrong with that, either. Nonetheless, it's not needed to ask such a silly question just to get a rise out of you.
holy cannoli first long video and Tory hit it out of the ballpark this is a really good vid and super helpful Tory 👍👍. i was just wondering since you mentioned about the white walls, do you plan to renovate those to something else? you could do a video on that, we'd love to see how upgrades go about for existing van life. part of the #reallife #vanlife you are advocating for and a good guide for the rest of the van lifers who may have misgivings about van lifing simply because they dont know / are unsure how to upgrade something thats already in their van. also being a Cat Mom myself... do you plan to get another cat as a roommate / travel buddy? 😅😸 because i totally understand that feeling of missing your furbaby that is a dyed-to-the-wool housecat 😹orrr..... maybe if you have another cat that is pretty cool with the van life, then when you bring your fur baby along, the other cat will help orient your baby to van lifing.

I am so so glad! ☺️

I am so so glad that it helps you! And YES, that’s super exciting!! You’ve Got This 🎉
This was so helpful and thorough! I’ve watched so many of these, but you touched on a lot of new topics for me :)
Tory you did a great job on the video. I hope to see you do more of them.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! And that is absolutely my plan! :)
Loving the video! Can't wait for more!😊❤
Thank you! ☺️💐
Had to watch video 1. You did great!
I think it's awesome that you are doing exactly what you set out to do. I want to do it later in my life love to travel and explore, and abandoned places😊
Good luck sweetie you did great
The algorithm just sent you to me, and I am loving your content so far... so helpful and well done! Can't wait to watch more!
I am so glad it’s helpful! Thank you so much!! ☺️💐
East coasters can set up and attend meetups. We had one every month for a year or two in my town and it was great!
Love this information.
Thank you

PS I think ALL the vanlifers on the east coast are in western north Carolina around Asheville. You can't throw a rock without hitting one. Anywhere you have hippies - festivals, retreats, towns - you'll find vanlifers. And Asheville is hippie central.
Finally a vid and not a short
YES! And I’m hoping for a blog next week! 🤯
Well done miss 🇬🇧
Thank you so much! ☺️💐 I hope the video was helpful!
@@ToryDelury the content is fine maybe you should do a weekly van can show
You amaze me❣👏
You did great!
It's very odd but as I watch your video's, I get a sense that I am just sitting across from an old friend Listening to their tales of adventure, concerns and advice....Well rounded dialogue. Keep the videos coming. Cheers from Canada.
Congrats !
Great job! you do you never mind the naysayers they’ll always be someone to judge and most of them are all trolls anyways that wish hope and want to try what others at up too but to scared to try. Well guess what if you don’t try you will never now. Procrastination! Thanks for sharing and good luck. 🍀👍
oh my gosh i cannot believe this is your first video!!!!!! it looks so professional!!!!! i think you should never worry because you’re doing great, and this video was super helpful! :D thanks!

Thank you so much, for sure! I am already feeling pumped to get out & make another! Everyone has been so kind & supportive on this video & I really appreciate that, I look forward to more in the future!! ☺️
Just found you by chance. We are just starting our research. Look forward to your vids.
Could you maybe do a video going indepth on the various systems/tricks you used in your build?
I definitely have such videos in my plans! I have a whole calendar of ideas, my goal is to cover every topic in chronological order of a van build ☺️
Yay! Great job!!!!
Thank you so so much! ☺️💐
The 1 thing I wish I appreciated more: the value of insulation. And duct tape for the doors. Use it to seal the seems on doors you rarely use.
i was getting up to get my dinner that i cooked 3 hours ago, and then your tip popped up plan your build for the laziest version of you. i just burst out laughing, cause the laziest version of me has depression n cant get out of bed till the afternoon. so thats got me thinking bout my van build now, im gona need to keep my voice activated lights now, not just my washing machine.
Good vid, I can relate with a lot of what you said 👌
I’m so glad! & Thank you!
You're beautiful and smart so let the haters hate. Love your videos!
Thank you so much, I appreciate you! 💐

the only thing I would ask you at Home Depot is where to find the hardware isle
I’m tori..I’m going to van show October in TN.. I’m gonna vandwell.. I’m scared as hell at 52 yo..
What's it like parking and staying in New York city? Are you able to stay in one area for long ?
👍 Approved.
Wait was that an English accent at the start? That was pretty good! Possibly better than mine…and I’m from England!
Hahaha Really? Wow, what a compliment! 😅 😂
You must have avoided areas that did not allow gym showers.During the DEMPANIC,New Jerseyans couldn't get one for FIFTEEN MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second then..
Hi Nebbia! ☺️💐
Its a very expensive system goal zero so it mite be just plug in but its expensive as.

Hospitals are usually a no go and decent hotels usually have security, at least in the southeast.
I am curious why you stay on the East Coast .. I mean, it's easier to live Van Life on the West Coast.
First
🎉🎉💐 Thanks for watching! ☺️
Come visit
3:50 when you say it it is okey but when some one else say it (12:19) it is misogyny. You are complaining that people are helping you? That is rare.
Not a short, please talk slooooower. 😊
Toryyyyyyyy🇪🇦🕵️🤣🤣🍨🍨😚😚😚😚😚😚😚🍨👀
Lol about the homedepo misogyny example that was just because you are cute and man trying to flirt with you.
At 12:36, you were posessed
Hahahaha Oh my gosh! 😂😂😂 I have no idea why that happened but it’s so funny!
I used to be like you being so annoyed at men trying to help me. Wisdom and age may show you that life is easier if you just let men help you. They love it and it makes a woman's life easier.

Did tory block me test
Yayyyy
holy cannoli first long video and Tory hit it out of the ballpark
this is a really good vid and super helpful Tory 👍👍.
i was just wondering since you mentioned about the white walls, do you plan to renovate those to something else? you could do a video on that, we'd love to see how upgrades go about for existing van life. part of the #reallife #vanlife you are advocating for and a good guide for the rest of the van lifers who may have misgivings about van lifing simply because they dont know / are unsure how to upgrade something thats already in their van.
also being a Cat Mom myself... do you plan to get another cat as a roommate / travel buddy? 😅😸 because i totally understand that feeling of missing your furbaby that is a dyed-to-the-wool housecat 😹orrr..... maybe if you have another cat that is pretty cool with the van life, then when you bring your fur baby along, the other cat will help orient your baby to van lifing.
