This is what the world is coming to. Save your money, wake up one day at the beach and the next day in the mountains. That's living...no stress, no heavy finances... Excellent choice.
The stupid $$ of real estate in Vancouver is also a good incentive
That's really cool but what happens when you get older and have no savings to get the necessities?
@ Don't know about you, but if I lived in a area where my job didn't allow me to save $ and afford a house... Maybe I'd consider moving to a different location (or getting a different job). Life is all about making choices
@ most of the people that live like this still have jobs
@Armando Silvier Yes, I agree. A woman like this one are very rare in most parts of the US.
So her name is VANessa and she lives in a VAN in VANcouver?
sterex100 hahahaha
You've uncovered a conpiracy theory of Vancouver and Ford. Through subliminal messages, they have secretly been targeting all Vanessa's in the area. If you're in the area and your name is Vanessa DONT buy a van!
Wait till you meet his boy friend Van Helsing.
LMAO Her favorite band is Van Halen too.
Guess what brand of shoes are her favorite?
Being less attached to money, yet there is more money - Love this girls philosophy, can't wait to do the same :)
If I don't need it i don't want it , that's a powerful line so true.
You don't know it now, but when you are older you will look back at the time you spent traveling/exploring in your van as the most valuable time in your life. You will discover who you really are. I think all young people should get out and travel and discover. Do it when you're young.
Do it when you're older too. You never finish discovering who you are. Stay savage.
@ taking a year away from the workforce to van around and surf and climb and see the cities and states and wildernesses and meet the people of the nation is a good thing. Very few people "van life" for longer than a year. It's something young people and retirees have been doing for decades. Retirees in sweet RVs with every modern convenience a home has, camped out by the beach in paid for and secure camp zones and then young people in funky smelling vans camped out by the curb a stones throw from a public toilet.
@@christopherk9560 Yeah, a year is fine. However these people are promoting this as a lifestyle. See how many people actually LIVE in a vehicle and the percentage becomes very small, especially trying to have a relationship. The finances would be strained with no full time income and then combine that with close quarters living and you begin to understand why cellmates kill each other. LOL!! Check out class a living on YT that dude has a motorhome and see how glamorous his struggle is, it seems great but he has no problem pointing out it's not all that.
@ it's just a different way to live. It's not better or worse. To have things one way is to give up having them another. Might be the grass is greener on some other side, but no matter what the best way is and always has been, to love the grass you are on. Never mind the grass you are not on.
I did that for 4 years. So cozy! Best sleep I ever had.
I miss my van.
Get u another 1 woman!!!
The more van life videos I see the more it’s convincing me to invest in a van and truly live. Rent always worries me...
The K Channel No, it’s the realization that soon a generation of people will not be able to afford a place to live.
That’s what’s happening. I live in Hawaii and rents have become unaffordable for me. I moved into a van last July. BEST CHOICE EVER. I’m not squandering my hard earned money paying someone else’s mortgage anymore.
Yeap im 55 been married twice they both screwed me im single an thinking of doing this got a ram truck single cab want to put a camper an fix it up use every space i can
@The K Channel Rent is throwing hard earned $$ into something that you will never own
“Plann well” I have heard the ones who do it say that. But prepare and enjoy it.
I know what it’s like to lose EVERYTHING. It’s a recovery process. Mostly for the things you can’t replace like photos and letters etc. hurricane Florence turned my life upside down but like a butterfly it changes you. Love her attitude. 💜💖💜
@ jadebrooklyn
The life goes on 👍
That must have been horrific losing everything. I wouldn't know what to do first. Having family or good friends helps I'm sure.
I lived on the street for two years. I picked myself up, had a very difficult time climbing back to being employed. Being a mother helped. We are resilient even when we don't know it. I'm glad you made it.
It's great to see her living like this. I've been living like this for 14 years. I've met all sorts of people like her. The great thing is reading people's posts about how impossible they think this is. Not everyone wants to live in a costly house next to the same people all the time. Attractive people can live like this, too. It's funny to think that they can't people think they can't. In the end you have to be happy with what you have, not comparing yourself to others. I go where I want when I want.
david fenn I want to Van life so bad.
@@MJ-jq4kchave u done it
It's kind of crazy, 8 years ago when I was in a divorce I didn't even consider to live out of my car. I spent 2½hr commuting to work, which resulted in 5hr commute per day (since I moved back to my family home during that transition period), I worked over hours, had no free time since I was stuck with the legal stuff and high attorney costs. I kind of wish I had a clearer mind back then and found inspirational videos like this. Heck, today I would even choose to live in a van instead of a traditional life due to the lower cost and freedom. however, I had immense luck of coming across a cheap wonderful tiny studio apartment here in Malmö, Sweden. I bought it cash and now I pay 120$/m for my upkeep. I hardly need to work anymore. and I couldn't be happier :) More people should live life alternatively, get out of debt, consider minimalism and only focus on the things that bring them true joy in life.
Happy for you
True and, for me anyway, getting close to our Creator GOD & Yeshua/Jesus in HIS reality.
I’m glad things did work out for you, and you seem to be happier now.
There are still so many wonderful ways to improve your van, to fit you💗 I too have plans to buy and move into a van. And travel all across the USA 🥰 has been my plans for last couple of years. Will happen soon, yay
So happy for you Vanessa.🌺🌼🌸🦋 good luck on your journey
@ pixel,aint that the truth
This girl is speaking to my soul, she's saying all the things I want to be and/or do, she seems like quite a special person
But she's not, I've met her. Her personality in reality is really quite awful. She's pretty good at faking being a decent person for the camera though!
She is such a beautiful free spirited young woman.. Soul mate material!
@Harland Waters Fapping is meaningless like blowing my nose.. I just do it to fall asleep lol
@@Dan0rioN yep😂🤣
She's absolutely gorgeous. And she's smiling from ear to ear. Her outlook on living like this is incredibly uplifting.
At first I thought, oh boy a modern hippie. But as I watched the whole Vidio, I see an intelligent young woman with some great ideas and I wish u the best of luck. Keep moving forward, and continue to share your experiences with us. Stay safe.
LOL
Keep simping alive, my friend.
I love what she said: "Not being attached to money, and being minimalist".
“Be anybody’s neighbour” I love this quotation!
I love the wooden interior
Babe girl , you bad the bad the bone🤔😚
Juleen Forbes yeah really dope
I went through almost all of the comments here on this page. Not once did I see anyone say anything about her website. All kinds of comments about her looks, and sexual innuendos... But nothing about who she really is. If one takes the time to go look at her website, click on the "about" section and read who she is and what she's about... You'll see that she is more than just a pretty face. This woman is smart, well-adjusted, healthy, a real free spirit, and totally gets what life is really all about. She lives an amazingly full and simple life all the while helping others do the same. Kudos to you Vanessa..you have figured it out! You are amazing on many different levels. All the best to you....Always, in All Ways!😊
Hey thank you so much for this, I really appreciate reading stuff like this, nice to see that people care more about my face and what their own fantasies may be about me :)
I didn't know she had a website, did she bring it up?
Ronald Reed, it's been awhile since I watched the video so I don't know if she brought it up or not, but it is all there in the information below the video.
ok great but shes still very attractive, and that being the hot ( ;) ) topic in the comment section of a video doesn't take away from her character or achievements.
@@lutze5086
it is still a sign o'the times and disgust a lot of people.
I moved to Seattle and decided to stay living in my rv and i love it. Definitely beats paying for rent, then paying for a place to store the rv. I actually have a pad with all the hookups inside a smaller community right outside Seattle and its larger then most 1bed apts here. All i ever have to do is hook a truck up and go, no packing, a lil prep, but just up and gone anywhere i choose in mins😍😍😍
You can install a kill switch which means you have to hit a certain hidden button before your van will start. This will prevent another theft. Also you can get a key chain (receiver) that will track your van through gps if stolen. You're doing an excellent job. Great stuff, keep it up.
I need a chicka like this. When I tell girls I want to live in a van they quit texting me back .
Garrett Johnson
It's their loss. They sound materialistic. You will find the girl of your dreams. Fulfill your wish.
I'm 62 yr old lady. Summer 2013 became homeless, lived in my truck 5-6 months. God Blessed me with a travel trailer. Possibilities are endless. Start sketching your dream van. Wish you the Best 😊
Don't know if you are serious or being funny but in reality you shouldn't waste your time pursuing a person if they are so easily swayed by a simple thought, you are better off without them. Good luck.
.....tell 'em you live beachside in a 4,000 sq ft. house your grandpa gave you in Marina del Ray.....yahhh, brazenly lie....
Then don't tell them, 😀😀
I told my boyfriend this and he laughed but I’m living in a van whether he’s with it or not. Some girl will be on the same page as you
I lived in a van for 13 months. i worked in a camp in northern BC. i spent like 400 bucks a month because i worked 21 days on 7 days off. by the end of the year i had 89,000$ in my bank. literally just been working odd jobs for fun for the last couple of years. van life gave me freedom, but it did hurt the ego quite a bit. girls were pretty shallow toward me even though im handsome. prior to my van life i worked mon to friday and some weekends, had a 1200/month rental, 500$ a month truck bill, and a drinking habit, never got a chance to do anything fun.. reduce debt, reduces needless garbage, downsize and SAVEEEEEEEE. LIFE GETS ALOT BETTER
Them rejecting you saves you a lot of money. Just imagine with your set up before and increasing cost to spend time with them. At least with van life, you can live the high life with the low price tag.
tubbyrainbow111 you must get rejected on the daily. Bitter much?
@@tubbyrainbow111 Facts? That sounds like your opinion. Which you are entitled to. But your attitude and outlook have a lot to do with the kind of people you attract into your life. Not all women are on the hunt for a man with money. Those are just the type of women you're attracted to. It's all on you, dude. Change your way of thinking and maybe you'll see that change reflected in your life. Good luck to ya.
Linda C regardless if he gets rejected or not, his point is very valid.
You don't know what the world species means, you just hate women. Surprising isn't it how people you hate don't want to have sex with you. Protip: They can tell. @@tubbyrainbow111
Great little build :)
I have an e150 that I’ve been converting over the past 8 months that’s nearly done! I see your third break light leaked, too! Seems to be a trend. I removed the original, repaired any damage and installed a brand new OEM light. No more leaks! At least there. My door seals all need to be replaced because they leak and I can’t seem to find replacements.
Here’s what I’ve done:
1. Max Air fan
2. Full roof top cedar deck with ladder to deck
3. Desk with an L-desk option when needed
4. Single bed that expands to sleep two, and one in the isle under the bed when open; sleeps total of 3 (comfortably)
5. Sink, gravity fed water system (no pump needed)
6. 20 gallon 4” PVC water tube that rests on the outer parameter of the full deck. I can pressurize the water tube which has a quick connect valve for showering. Gravity pulls water to the inside sink and outdoor shower.
7. Removed the passenger seat and built a bed for my 2-year old yellow lab, Finny :)
8. Raptor-lined the van and roof
9. Replaced all the windows (need to get them tinted)
10. A toilet
11. Closet, and lots of storage
12. Plus the leaf spring upgrades
13… more to come.
I used a program called SketchUp to build everything out. I pretty much have a full house in an e150. It’s rather impressive if I do say so myself :D I’m a proud parent of the van.
I really hope to run into many of the van lifers out there. I’m debating on starting a UA-cam channel… we’ll see!
Godspeed to all of you. Hopefully we’ll cross paths down the road :) Happy trails!
P.S. I mentioned this list in case anyone needs some ideas. :)
I very much appreciate you forging this very practical, grounded and free lifestyle. I particularly appreciate that your journey and life choices are potentially a model for every one - but also for other women. I feel like these kinds of life-choices are leading the way out of the madness of run-away consumerism Great video, I wish you well on your life choices and your awesome journey! Be well!
So are we going to ignore the fact that she looks like an angel?
Right.
She is a Beauty I agree , God Bless that young lady we all wish her luck
I couldn't pass by without poking this cutie face.
The cynic in me says she uses her smiles for boys to work on her van.
@@nikitaw1982 I agree her smile is perfect
Living out of a van is constant effort, planning and discipline. There is nothing lazy about that lifestyle. They work, pay bills, and manage responsibilities. I'm pretty certain that some or most of them are volunteers from time to time. Most of all, they found a way to be happy within themselves.
I think everyone should try it out. You just might learn something about yourself.
Well said, Thank You
lone wolf lol wtf u doin here son lol arent you the one always trolling my videos calling me names and trying to hurt my feelings LOL
no
Lone Wolf I bought 2 houses in Toronto and both are leased to tenants, im 43 and my daughters went on their own this year but my travels require change of scenes there for world is my playground not just america. I can see this life style will work for many.
What bills are they paying when they live in a van they don't have to pay shit the fuck u talking about

I love the wood on the inside and everything looks so neat and has place for everything and everything in its place, it looks really nice
The Reality of #VanLife is a feature length documentary about the over glamorization of a lifestyle that was originally inspired by freedom, and is now being used to capitalize on the trend of wanderlust, bikini clad women, and Westfalias on Instagram. I interview a bunch of Van dwellers about the different challenges they face, and I actually try to make myself van life famous on instagram in the second half of the movie, to comedic results.
I put a ton of work into this documentary and would love it if you would go give it a watch! It is absolutely free!
ua-cam.com/video/A6McizBPKaE/v-deo.html
Awesome documentary I will be watching this right now. I lived homeless and RVs for over a decade from 1999 to 2011. I had none of the technology these kids have today. I had a junkie old laptop I'd like to coffee shops to access email and try to formulate opportunities. It was a world apart from what these little trendy people are doing now
If you have a black card membership at planet fitness you can take showers at anyone in the country. And they open 24 hours.
Forrest Stevens can i be your friend.
Wow. She is gorgeous! I work a high paying tech job in Portland and I'm considering doing this so I can save up for a house. So hard to do on your own otherwise.
@DmY808 i have an aunt and uncle living in portland and it doesnt sound as expensive as cali. he must be saving up for a mansion.
@DmY808 It's not as expensive as Cali but it's about $1450-ish here for a 2 bedroom one bath. I'm fortunate enough to save a lot of money each month but if I could be saving an extra 25k a year while traveling the country and working remotely, count me in.
@@billydarley6925 ;)
You’re so right
Go for it!. Smart move!
Ever since reading Travels with Charley, the romantic notion of wandering has haunted me. Glad to see people do it.
I really, really liked listening to your reason for conversion to van life. You said alot of deep things that ave me some perspective. Thanks for sharing!
I love what you’re doing. It’s all summed up by one word........freedom!! I’ve been an “over the road” truck driver for seven years. I’ve lived in my truck the entire time. I’m selling my truck now and I’ve bought an ‘85 Grumman stepvan (an old Fedex van) and I’m about to do a full on RV conversion so that I can continue my gypsy lifestyle but with just a little more comfort. Like yourself, I like having all my “toys” with me. I’m also a minimalist, which I think is a requirement for this type of lifestyle. But I like that. I’ll never pay rent again. I’m originally from BC (the Island) but I’m a permanent resident in the US and as soon as my rig is more or less fixed up, I’ll migrate north and south with the weather. I’ll do home repairs and remodelling for cash and that, only when I feel like it or need the money. Yeah, it’s very encouraging for me to realize that there are others who feel the same way I do! Thank you so much for posting this video!
She looks happy compared to some miserable people that have a house.
- Kai -
Yeah but there are lots of happy people in houses with miserable fucks living out of cars.
Are you serious? I wonder what kind of responsibility of having a house vs van..
@@vGREENARROWv I not planning to buy real estate property because I will dependable to pay off my debt for 10-20 years of my life. In another hand, we have VAN life you can recreate motorhomes and pay off debt for 3-5 years which pretty good. For me, don't value social status and real estate, education loans, etc because I want to have zero debts to become undependable from having a job for one city or location. I just like being dependable and flexible, by having my emergency fund for 3-4 months and debt free to do what I want.
That is the spirit 😃👍
Not surprised wonder how much it is
Your energy is awesome. To loose it all and still be so enthusiastic is really cool. Good luck with the future.
I wish you good luck and happiness Vanessa.
I love the way you keep your life simple and FREE.
I love her style!
Very sincere and straight forward,!!❤️
Shes an idiot
Great video. It's how the sensible next generation who aren't born into lots of money will live. As debt free as they can, with flexibility, mobility and minimal possessions. I agree she looks well presented for someone who lives full time in a van, so not sure about that (but could be wrong) , but regardless, it's how the next gen will have to live to save. But reality is, government, financial institutions do not want this. So much taxes are found from people renting. I noticed the issue of bathroom and toilet did not come up and did not see any water or van heater. Trust me, these are super critical.
Some people are not comfortable discussing bathroom and toilet with others. That's my guess.
@@lawrencedavidson6195 very true.... The omission about bathroom etc was not a criticism. It's just something that i find with camping etc is very critical with the outdoor lifestyle, which isn't addressed by many, and really should be highlighted more in most videos, not just this one. When in wild country, there are real dangers when you go off trail and nature calls. But still a good video.
I like how you've got your van layed out
I'm currently working on my van
Thank you for your inspiration!!
Awesome! Your freedom and less stressful lifestyle is good changes for you. Do it while you're young.! Thank you for sharing.
Love her simplicity. Cozy, easy life.
Did that on Maui for years...finally moved into a bungalow on Haleakala....instantly missed the freedom. Good for you!
So fun! I am so excited to start my van life journey!!! In,love with your build! Such island vibes🌴 literally just watching people build out their vans makes me excited for my move in day!🌻✌🏼🦋💜. Thanks for the video!,
That is a really smart idea and she is very pretty.I wish her the best :)
whoa, your so pretty, nice van setup too....BTW I live in Vernon BC, I have an older GMC campervan I live in, well used to, its got bathroom, furnace air conditionibg, oven Stive, fridge freezer, etc 2 full size beds all that for only $2,500 it was a great deal, older GMC van tho 1983 but only 143,00km runs perfect never any problem for over 6 years, just dead batteries, but I need to add solar but that's about it, just a great van tho, those older 1980's campervans are the best deals, last forever, easy cheap to fix IF they ever break down but u can always find them fully equipped for under 2grand, shit I even spent 1 winter down to -25c and even then I was always nice and warm, and even using propane for stove, fridge ,freezer and furnace, most I ever spent was maybe $25 per month on propane for everything, and I never was cold, just set thermostat to whatever I wanted, best deals for cheap living
Absolutely amazing! 💖
What a positive attitude about van life. Very inspirational!
This is awesome and enlightening on a few levels and the freedom is real👍🏼 thanks guys good one
Love her personality
like, like, like....
Awesome. Love it and the walls and ceiling!
Love it !!! Youngsters are soo independent...and so ingenious nowadays... stay safe !!!!! You gain a new subscriber!!!
The van life seems to work for people that have talents or hobbies where they can be entertained like playing music, art work. I like to explore so that entertains me but I could never full time. But for people that know how to entertain themselves and are talented like this lady it works. Great Attitude
Many brave girl try solo van living now..tumbs up vanessa ♥★
Hello from UK.thousands of uslive in vans here .it a community ..we keep each other safe and secure..your a lovely young lady .and the very best of respect to you ..great van .❤💙💚💛💜👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏from D.LIFE
I wonder if the police target people living on their own not paying rent for a flat.
The system wants us in the rat race struggling for money and paying it all out.
This is what I want to do too. Cant wait! Good for her!
Nice cozy van build! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by at my channel!
Forrest Stevens Just subscribed! 😊
Most people would be surprised at how many people live this way or in cars...I meet and seen alot while I stayed in my Ford conversion...one of the best times I've ever had
Adventurous and easy on the eyes! I like her already.
Very cool set up, as long as its fits your needs. Great job. Be safe. 😁🚐
You are a cool person. I lived in a VW van for about 8 months years ago. It really can be one of the best, most liberating experience you can have, although most people care too much about impressing others. Everything is relative. You really have a nice setup.
Thank you~
-you have amazing karma, please stay safe, the world needs more people like you in it!
clicked for the van but stayed for Vanessa :)
Her reasons for moving into the van are the same exact reasons I am moving into one next week. Music, multiple jobs, freedom, no rent, having instruments and tools always near by. I cannot wait.
This is my dream girl...
Shes got the right mindset.
Thanks for sharing your home! Inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm 62 and just about to get my social security. Maybe this would be a good way to use my SSI for the rest of my years. Always dreamed of this lifestyle. What do you do if you have a health issue though?
i'd keep my medical insurance, and if you have family let them know where you are maybe even with a tracker, check in constantly so if they don't hear from you for a few days they know somethings up. Stay near hospitals and have emergency instructions visible inside your van. Follow your dreams Tony!
@@aliahmcpaul1411 thank you! Good advice!👍
The SAME thing You would done when living in a regular house. In fact it's probably better with VAN LIFE. You can park almost anywhere including the nearest Health Facilities.
@@aliahmcpaul1411 EXACTLY. Awesome advice.
@@aliahmcpaul1411 My prescriptions are at Walgreens. I can refill them in any state. That would be the time to get a 90 day supply, even if it means having a pill splitter. Staying in touch with family is a very good idea.
This is a nice sweet simple set up. I'm going to borrow ideas from this one in the hope of doing something similar for our part-time travelling next year.
Agree! Brilliantly simple set up! I totally agree. It is well thought through. I'd much rather have a van like this than the very pimped up ones.
Gorgeous, and the van is pretty nice too.
Really like her sense of sufficiency.
absolutely
i love these van life vogs, they make me appreciate my own home :)
It's not your home if you're making payments. It's the banks home. Miss a few payments and see what I mean. These can people have true freedom.
Also if you just happen to live in area about to be flooded. Allot of homes are gonna go. But not yours if you can drive away. Point being is life is unpredictable. When an area your living in no longer becomes liveable or you simply want to move. Van life allows you to do so on at an instants notice. Depending on how you make your living you could travel to any city in the country and live there for a week. Only to move to a different city next week. If you have a passport. You could even go country to country almost when ever you want on a really affordable budget.
Love and blessings to you...your spirit is beautiful my sister on wheels.....💓💓💓
That, is a beautiful woman.
@Frank Puxa Frangos LMFAO
Creep
dude,, she is a beautiful one..
@@bigolbabyhuey I was not even looking at the van.
No she IS a beautiful woman in every sense of the word. He right. She is intelligent. In charge of her life and fine af 😍😍😍
Vanessa you’r van is great. You put real style and color in it. You are a fantastic lady I hope to see more of you on utube !!!
Nah... she found xhamster more productive.
damn she is so sexy, plz make more vid. im in love.....
I have more videos on my own channel :D
Nice van seems like a Spa feel looking at the work you did Great job!
God bless you Vanessa!

She is simply beautiful 🌹
Yes she is
I saw her first... back off! lmao
Oh yeah, she's most def a true hippie. Love it 😍♥️🌻✌️☮️☯️
Bright free spirit living a minimalist lifestyle. Lovely woman.
Live to hear her play guitar
Very nice! I can’t wait to design my vehicle this summer! I’m so ready!
Nice. Very nice. Plain and simple. That's a cool van.
Awesome....I lived in my Honda Civic for a year...van is way more comfortable
How about water, bathing, etc?
Also helped that I lived in a campground so could do all that you mentioned outside the vehicle
@@pannaproductions gym
I like the slide out stove, nice idea there.
What a great simple build. Looks cozy and inviting. 👍
Looks like she has all the necessities in her van. It was hilarious when she said "steal" wifi 😂 Thanks for sharing the tour/ interview.
I thought that was pretty funny too! All vandwellers do it really.
I only use unlimited broadband wireless data because I Boondock a lot in my van. "Out in the boondocks" even in the concrete jungle.
Except when she has to go poop.....
one of the only vanlife videos that has actually made me think like - i could do that.
Ive been living in my car for a month a 4 door sedan
I lived is a Chevy conversion van on and off from 2005 to 2009; absolutely loved it. Myself, and my Siberian Husky FIFA. Great times.
This van here has an appealing setup; wonderfully organized, clean and cozy looking. Awesome!
really? what do you do for $$? what was your longest live in length? Any vids?
Garion Porter No vids. At the time, I worked for a man who at times was my landlord; my friends worked for him too! Painting apartments and getting them ready to be rented and such. I very often had driveways to park in; when I didn’t, I would just pick a neighborhood in the small city I live in. Many nights in what’s known as West End, where there are several bars and restaurants etc. I just figured the police would assume I left my van so as not to drive drunk (which I did when I had apartments as well; why lose your license to a DUI?). Thankfully never had any run ins with police. Once I was sleeping and someone tried to break in... I scared the bleep out of him (had a Siberian Husky as well, so she helped).
what city was this in? Also, I don't quite understand why you can't sleep in yer car/van on the street? I mean, its just parked there anyways. @@aviansoul
Garion Porter A small city on the East Coast. The main concern is what I think are considered Vagrancy Laws; we’re not supposed to have those here in USA, but the truth is, we do. I imagine some neighborhoods would frown on it as well - family friendly neighborhoods may not want people they don’t know just parking and sleeping on their street. That’s one reason I chose to park in more business/commercial areas when not in a friend’s driveway; just being considerate and kind of smart. Again, why put yourself in a situation where police will have to interact with you?
A friend dealt with that once when he was sleeping in his car for awhile... neighbors called police and he had to drive away. Nothing worse than being woken up in the middle of the night to relocate! He was pissed off!
This would be absolutely perfect for me. Love it!!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME Work 👍💚🤓🤙
Good video, thanks for making it. That's a very nice van. I laughed when she said she was stalking people online about van life. It's exactly what I did before I chose RV life. Have fun, stay safe!
Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing.
Very inspiring. 🙂🎈🌷
Good equipment! This solar bateries are very efficient! Has worken on cloudly dark day even. Good choice!
If she rolled up in that van and offered me free candy if I got in, I'd totally get in.

It's great!
Thanks!
I wish you all the happiness in the world Vanessa. Cheers from Australia.
Wow, you are fantastic, brave, adventurous and beautiful. Loving the example.
She's awesome her van is awesome. Tears me up about her van getting stole with all her s*** in it or pardon me all the things she deems valuable in her life like her musical instrument. People are jerks to steal someone's home and transportation and every single belonging they have on the face of the Earth. I am grateful she's back on her feet. This is the first time I've watched this video and I think she is a rockstar and amazing. I am a #LukeThill # 1 fan. Check out his UA-cam and his awesome build when he started building he was 12 or 13 years old and he built it with every penny of his own. What a fantastic life you are living! Both of you are living!

Agreed. Unfortunately live-in vans are thief magnets because often there is a laptop, camera, drone etc. Disguising your van as a commercial one for unblocking sewage pipes would make it rather less attractive, worth bearing in mind at the start of any new stealth build.
Proverbs 20:17
Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.
Yeah gotta go as stealthy as possible. Don't post vids of locations until after you have left, opt for vehicles that are less likely to get stolen, etc. Some work vehicles like vans, Silverados, etc are easy to break into and steal and are high in demand by carjackers. Some towns are carjacking hotspots, like Knoxville. Research before you go. Its extra work, carjackings could happen anywhere at any time, but you can reduce your chances. I'm just glad this girl is okay.
Hi Vanessa, I came across your video since I’m planning to live in my car while studying full time. Can you make a video on how you survive winter months. Thank you
Chris good idea
Cristinita Maldita > the good news is that you’ll be able to park on your campus although they may charge per term/semester. And you’ll be able to shower at the school gym. For the winter months, use a zero degree sleeping bag
Keep your cloth on... dyam college nowadays cant do that...
Good luck at take care always mam. Maldita
