@@WanderingGigi Better Audio would also help. I subbed then unsubbed after a few videos because not comfortable to strain to hear what you are saying. Hope it helps.
I live by the sea on the East Coast in the UK, trust me its not as pretty as Half Moon Bay which clearly looks delightful. I'm still catching up on your videos and the title 'Pescadero to Pacifica' makes me think it would be a great album title for some artist or other. Hope you have many more such beautiful days.
Its really sad that your Daughter and her husband would not let you share a home with them..Im so sorry this happend to you. But Im soooo happy you got your van fixed! California i hear is very expensive compared to other parts of our country, It is beautiful with beaches and the redwood trees etc...Just be careful out there! Stay Safe and thanks so much for taking us on this journey with you God Bless.
IOverlander has been great, but occasionally I just park where there are apartments. I think being off season has helped. I like staying in town due to cell service 🤷♀️
I'm a Widower, fresh out of Eastern NC. recently left my daughter, all growed up.😊 So To be here in WI. To help out my widowed Mom. I thought about "Van life" myself. Maybe a retired Transit van. Or a decent Dodge mini! You are a trooper G!! Hang in there, maybe well' cross paths one day.
Just an alternative idea. Back in 2000 my X and I bought an old RV and traveled through Mexico for a year. Best time in our lives. Met a retired expat in Lake Patzcuaro, who lived there in the highlands in a campground next to a beautiful lake during the summer and during the winter he moved down to the coast to Zihuatanejo. Better weather in both places. I’m now an US expat living in Ecuador for the past 15 years. Looking at your videos and the hassles you experience and the cost of day to day living in the US and Canada I would suggest taking a look at Mexico. Tons of expat videos on the subject. Better food, sooo much cheaper, nicer people, (Mexican and Nortinos), wonderful day to day experiences, Spanish is pretty easy to be competent, and no dodging the police. Life is simple, cheaper by a long shot, and so much more gratifying. I’m from California and have been so lucky to have chosen an alternative life in my retirement years. Think about it. In a few days you could be sitting on a beautiful beach, eating great food, and enjoying the comradely of like minded North Americans instead of a parking lot next to a bunch of work trucks and looking over your shoulder for the cops. The one restaurant in town isn’t even open? Life is better south.
I lived in CA for 29 years. 2 of them in Pacifica. I loved Pacifica. I miss it everyday. I went to Texas and then here in WA State. I know exactly where you went!!!
PG&E is Pacific Gas & Electric. They either are getting ready for a big storm or are just finishing up after a big storm. If it's the former be careful out there, there has been a lot of flooding, electric lines have been coming down and mudslides. May God bless you with safe travels 🙏
Hi Gigi, I am in South Carolina living in my camper in the country side very inexpensive. The monthly rent includes all utilities. Let me know if you interested I will send you the location. Enjoy your travels
oh thats my home area of the coastside, Half Moon Bay. Theres lots to do there, dont miss the Redwoods in the back of there at Memorial Park and up on Hwy 35. Also the John Fitzgerald Marine Reserve Tidepools in Moss Beach and so many other things to do!! Made me homesick. Im suprised the cops didnt bug you, they are usually kind of active around Half Moon Bay/Pacifica Area. You got lucky!
Please do he careful sbout posting in real time. Dont advertise where you currently are.. better to post just after you have been somewhere but areno longer there...for your protection. I followed you and wish you the best. I'm so sorry to hear what happened with your daughter but do hope you will take steps to get tour money out of that hone if you possibly can. Heart reaking when your own child hurts you like that. 😢
Have you considered housesitting? It is an interesting way to see plces, travel, and be comfortable. You could register with am "agency", build a profile, develope references and see what opportunities become available. Some are short term, others are longer. Opportunities and adventures await. 😊
Any chance of shooting video in "horizon " mode? Much more information is given. Also, thanks to the internet and UA-cam, you may be able to fix some of the small things on the van. A bug plus: you'll become a stronger person! God bless!
If I'd known you were coming through the Bay Area I would have offered to take you for dinner or something! I've ridden up and down that stretch of coast on a motorcycle many times. I think we locals take it for granted but seeing it through new eyes reminds us of how beautiful the coast is. Those dogs should have been leashed on the beach. There's a famous 'dog beach' further south, near Santa Cruz.
I'm keeping track,your doing ok,be careful and be safe
Beautiful places. Lovely to be with you along this journey.
Hold the camera landscape size, like a TV , that way the vlogs will be better,
It’s coming. Wish I knew sooner 🤷♀️

Thank goodnes for honest mechanics! 🤙 Happy Travels!
Good for you Gigi! I love your gypsy soul and we're enjoying following you. You're an inspiration..."where there's a will there's a way!"
Hope you went to Duarte's!!! the very best Ollalieberry Pie and Artichoke soup!!!
I definitely did go 😊
I'm sorry to hear about what's happening to you, Sometimes our children can be disappointing but regardless we love them. Your in my prayers.
Thank you 🙏
So glad you got the belt fixed! That might help keep the battery charged.
Love your moonstone necklace

A lot of nomads talk about it being hard to stealth camp in CA, but it seems like you've got it figured out. 😊
It tends to vary from city to city, town to town. But for the most part California isn't nearly as bad as most believe it is.

Hi Gigi , Look up Bob Wells RV living he's always either in Oregon or Arizona? You could trust him to help you good luck to you🙏
I was at the RTR with Bob around 😊

I subscribed but as a few other viewers suggested, shoot in landscape mode. Your vlogs will look much better. Good luck.
It’s coming.
Looks like utility construction trucks. Maintenance isn't a breakdown. I'm sure the guy attended to your other belts. Enjoying your travel.
Thank you 🙏

PCH Hwy 1 up the coast!!?
You have home gigi what is your story I live in Arizona and the city I live in the rent is low but buying my home my name is Jesse
Can you fix the picture from a small strip to a full page on UA-cam.
I’m still learning, it will happen 😊
Love thrift stores,you might find things for your camper
I’ve checked a few out, I like them too 😊
Pls span the camera slowly so watching is more enjoyable. Ty
That's right, lonely women make good lovers.
Very inappropriate
It’s expensive to live in a van
No, more people are choosing this b/c it’s less expensive than rent.
@@WanderingGigi it’s cheaper to live in a garage
No volume to hear you speak, Carol.
I’m working on getting a mic for better sound

Those dogs should have been leashed on the beach. There's a famous 'dog beach' further south, near Santa Cruz.
