thank you to everyone who sent me questions! if i didn't get to your questions or you have one that wasn't mention feel free to comment or message me on instagram and I'll do my best to respond. i just got this new vlogging camera and i'm still figuring it out, so excuse the focusing of the lens. love and light!

I like how realistic this is. Most van life videos are like "you too can live the van life if you drop 50,000$ on a Mercedes van and put 20,000$ on renovating it!"
Right! Some of them are basically paying for a house that depreciates.
True
Rite 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
. I just found out I have a brain tumor these videos are entertaining and keep my mind off of my own problems. I want you guys to walk with me the video up SUPPORT ME GUYS PLEASE. Subscribe to my channel please love ii 😍😍
😂😂😂😂
I did the same thing when i stayed in my car. Planet Fitness membership, ate plenty of salads, drank Manischewitz😂, and wrote raps about my trials. 2 blankets. Keep ur inner strength high and ur optimism on a bean. From one Nomad 2 another! 💯💯
hell yeah.
Did you ever get those raps recorded
Devondrick I recorded em n2 my phone and posted them on my UA-cam channel a few months ago. The sound is really rough 😂
Are you still doing these things
Neo SoulZ i still record in my car, but i no longer sleep in it.
Nah sis is living her best life this is it
"I WAS BROKE AS HELL" u got me there 😂😂
Me too!!
Lol...Ditto 😂😂😂
I respect this women so much!
Cee Life sameee
Me too gurl!
🙂
Sooo much! Queen! :-) So much heart, soul, and genuinity!
Yes!
"I don't care if you judge me for that." got you a sub. This is basically my motto... they gonna judge me anyways so make it judgement worthy...
yeah it's like, showers didnt always exist. There are others to stay clean. Who cares!

With this quarantine, the restaurant I work in let go of all of their servers until the virus is over. I’ve been stuck at my family’s tiny trailer. As much as I love my momma and as skeptical as she is about it, I want to live in my Jeep. I’ve planned it all out and watching your videos inspire me to go for it. No more roommates, no more rent, just me myself and I. This lifestyle seems peaceful and hell, it paid of for you! Girl you’re in Thailand now. I’m just glad I found your videos. I love your voice and your whole aura, glad to see you thriving in a whole different country now. Congratulations, and you’ve inspired me❤️
I thought I was the only one who done this...living in my truck for 7 months. A lot of soul searching...meditation. It was very peaceful...growing .learning new things about yourself...when your alone ...that's when your actually intuned and fully focused ...and free!
This gurl is smarter and wiser then most adults with there money and future, keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻
Go girl I am ready to go on a van journey. I travel a lot and am tired of paying rent 🤣
I got off the grid, too. But, I’m retired. But, I would have done this long ago.
amen. In 2 months. i will be on my way. FREEDOM Smells good.
This is the sort of thing that makes me go from sad to happy. I am so glad I found this channel. You make me soooooo happy and I can’t even say how happy this channel makes me. Thank you
You have such a great attitude. They may make a reality show out of your way of doing this with such a great attitude about things.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS over you Caitzan, have fun
A black woman doing this! This is so lit!
C Mac she ain't they only one..... and some of us been doing it longer. LOL 😂😂😂😂
C Mac I know right
Crystal Vanner I know your channel too, boo!
Surprised the HELL out of me.
C Mac kinda mean so say *a black woman*
Such an inspiring women!!! Can’t wait to follow your journey to Thailand 🇹🇭
you are genuinely one of the most down to earth kind people i've seen on youtube. you're so eloquent and bad ass!! take care of yourself n be safe ily
I've never seen someone live in their car like this. Plus anyone else who is thinking about trying to live easier can really take note and inspiration from you. You make living in a car seem so brilliant, I can't even begin to go into a proper explanation to try to even describe how amazing it is you choose to live easy like this
It’s sad that people in this country have to result to living in their vehicles to find financial freedom, the country that has the top spot in economic opportunities and pay for its civilians, that being said in extremely supportive of the decisions you have made for yourself I hope you have the time of your life in Thailand, I will be looking forward to seeing those videos
They don't have to but many choose to bc they are aiming for other things. It's actually pretty fun to travel all over, see different cities, states, beautiful country, and it gives u a different aspect of life. It doesn't make u poor, stupid, or anything negative but FREE to live life on your own terms. College kids do it all the time, young adults, retired, ex military, or anyone who doesn't care what others think of them.
This is very brave and smart. I’ve never thought of someone choosing to live in a car . I’m very intrigued in your journey🤔 I’m sending all positivity your way! Good luck with everything♥️
Lmaoooo
I'm not being a troll,but I have to say this is not a smart thing to do.
That's nice of you to say😊
please tell me how this is smart.
How rude are you calling her an ugly bitch, you a BITCH for calling her that
FYI .....FOR PEOPLE VAN LIVING WINDERING WHERE TO SLEEP ,ITS AT 24 HOUR WALMARTS AND WALGREENS,THEY DONT CARE IF U SLEEP OVER NIGHT.
I loveeee the reality of this. You’re so honest and real and don’t care to say what a lot of people want. Definitely subscribing. I love it💕
WTG GIRL! Good for you. You should consider getting a compact camper porter potty. There's also a camper shower bag too both small enough for travel. I'm sure you already know about these items. I just feel better telling you.
Anyway stay safe, stay positive & keep us posted. Sending you ALABAMA LOVE, HOPE & PRAYERS!
Excited to see where you go! I'm 20 in college and even though i'm not on the same journey as you, I respect the struggle, the choices, and what you're doing for you. Its a hard life man and its important to make the most of it. Very glad this video popped up in my suggestions.
I honestly love your spirit! Don’t stop being you and keep this up. You are very inspiring!!!!
Wow this is soo inspiring. Your free spirit just glows. Yay 🤗
Just found your channel and I’m loving this!!💕👏🏼
So mean guys
TRAVEL TO GET PAID. PAY DEBT'S MAKE A TINY HOUSE AND A CABIN HOUSE. LET'S JUST DO IT, EVERYBODY. PRAY CAUSE THE WORLD IS ENDING, LET'S GO EXPLORE.
My girlfriend and I have been thinking of living in a van and traveling. So its good to know that more women are doing this 👍👍😊
YOUR SO BRAVE!! I'm glad your experiencing living where you feel safe.💓
Just found your channel but omg My new favorite youtuber! I love your energy and your inspiring to listen to ! Love and light!! 💖
I love the fact that you mentioned brown girls travel too! I’m so excited to see your travel vlogs 🤗
I loooove your vibe😍 can’t wait to see more of your journey!!
I’m so happy I found your channel!! I have a few more weeks until, I move back home to chi and then I will be off traveling and watching your video is so inspiring! I’m starting to look into van life/ travel. AND YES IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH A BEAUTIFUL BROWN GIRL HELPING PAVE THE WAY.
you are so awesome and real!!! I hope you keep making videos :) you are my favorite van living/car living channel BY FAR
Lol at the end “ok then dont do it then🤷🏽♀️🙄” .....wishing you greatness and fulfillment on this journey!!! I totally love it!
Idk how I found your channel but I just saw your van tour then watched you shave your head and you just posted this so I figured it was destined for me to be here 👍🏽😍 new subscriber
Do you plan on also living in your van in Asia ?
hi love, so happy our paths crossed. I will not be living in a van in Asia. I'll be backpacking and staying in hostels.
I watched the videos in the same order and also am a new subbie.
Debbie Candice SAMEE
Be careful in hostels. Did you see that movie? “Hostel”? About American tourist?
I didn’t come by this video on accident..the end spoke to me on another level. You’re so inspiring and and motivating! A gem sis ✨
OMG you are the real life MVP, tbh knowing you do all this for a reason and for your own purpose is really inspiring. You are good, keep being that.
First... I've literally been waiting on this video 😍😍😍😍😍! You're so beautiful!
MJ FOREVER sure
I feel the same as you do about renting. I'm so ready to join you! I've been downsizing for
a number of years.. I live as a minimalist. Have more books than anything. I continue to donate and gift books. I only have what I use. "Glad to learn you're doing you and not allowing others to control your life. I remain inspired! Continued blessings on your journey!
Love your vibe and your head wrap is everything!
You are such a badass!! Seriously so inspirational. I love the idea of living simply in a tiny home or even a van and EVERYONE thinks I'm insane. It's so refreshing to see someone give up all their belongings and really downsizing, and just to see how free your spirit is because of it. Keep it up, girl. Don't ever let anyone try to tame you.
This is the second video of you I've seen! New subbie!!! I admire your adventurism!!! Enjoy and know that the life that you live is awesome!!!

I'm from NC also and I'm two seconds from joining this lifestyle...I keep punking out, but yet I keep finding videos like these that make me really want to do it.
TaZhané Claude do it!!
Stop punkin out😊😊😀
TaZhané Claude girl PREACH!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND RICHLY REWARD YOU.
TaZhané Claude I’m from Pickens sc
I feel you!!!! I drove from the East Coast to CA last summer before starting school with no place to live. I lived in my SUV the first 3.5 months. I parked in the rich/safe neighborhoods and showered everyday day at the gym. It was liberating! I finally got an apartment but I can see myself doing that again. I love the freedom of it! Good luck and safe travels!
I stumbled upon your channel and can't stop watching. You truly seem like a beautiful soul! The way you dove into living your life to the fullest is inspirational. I wish you the very best.
I’ve been looking into this myself for a while and you’re the first woman of color I’ve seen doing it. Such an inspiration! I feel like this takes more bravery than I’ll ever have lol
You are so gorgeous ! Love and light on your journey
“There are young brown girls doing it” you are awesome! An inspiration to all girls, especially young brown girls. Thank you! ❤️
"Young brown girls" meaning African-American?? Im just curious to know Michelle Stansberry

@@justliv2132 Well, all Women of color are "brown girls".
Girl, you are absolutely gorgeous, inspiring and killingggggg the gameeee! Omg love your vibe ily xo
I'm definitely feeling a soul connection I wonder if your North Node is an aquarius like mine because when you kept saying you just don't have to care literally that's what it is we're here to show and unconventional lifestyle and to breakdown the so-called traditional norms so I basically travel from one state drove almost 24 hours by myself as a female slept in my car at truck stations showered at truck stations did not get a hotel until I got to my destination now I'm here for a job and I'm about to move into my car and I'm so excited because my cardiac rhythm is on point I feel so free and close to Nature and not tied in it forces me to become the person I need to be because like you said I also was very shy nervous when I was younger but now I don't care because again that's my life path amazing you just got a subscriber! 😍
PLEASE MAKE A PATREON PAGE!!!!!!!! Someone so inspirational should really have a platform for people to share love and support!!

I’m new here but I love your channel. I have so much respect for you. You do you girl.
Look for places called Drop In Centers for the homeless in your city. They will usually have free laundry, showers, hot meals and wifi.
She's not homeless
Central Vine she’s not homeless but she doesn’t have a hoooome with a shower and washer and hot meals😃👍🏾

This is so cool..Never seen nothing like this on UA-cam do you girl love your channel!❤️
LOVE YO CHANNEL!!! I watched all your vids already, in less than 1 hour
Ik I might regret this... Who says we have to shave anything? I see the comments telling her to shave her pits... why? For every answer, there is a counter. I shave mine because 'I' want to, but geesh ppl who cares...
extremely dedicated.....girl i feel u
I love your energy. The key to life is not caring at all what other people think about what you are doing. Subscribing for sure!
I respect your decision so much and I think your life style is free and very fun . I’ve just found you channel and I’m really enjoying watching you content
You're so smart and creative! Truly an inspiration
Proud of you. I've always been, independent. Travel alone, live alone. I've been thinking of down sizing to tiny house. Oh I'm so glad you showed the took for the rod. I want to go to San Diego and stay at State Park by ocean. They have showers, etc.. I'll asleep in car to save money. I just love the info on covering my Windows. Peace be with you.
CHRISTINE DUVAL YOU CAN DO IT, I GOT DEBT'S GALORE, I'M GONNA LEAVE IN ONE YEAR. MARIE REYES, SELL COFFEE, DONUTS, FOOD, FROM MY VAN. OR TINY HOUSE
What state park are u refer to?
This lifts my spirits soooo so much!!! I am new 2 nomad livin but I have been for going on 2 months now! I get some crappy feedback from friends & family because its me & my kids ( 6 & 14) We feel so much more free & connected. We discuss it all and feel like we get 2 live how we want. We have lived in a secure home as well but now following our free spirit we are down for the adventure in this moment.
YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING
This is so inspirational!! I would do something like this
Just came across your video & I think you’re awesome, intelligent & beautiful, inside & outside! I really look up to you because you are a great example of what a strong & confident woman is! Please stay safe & take care!! ❤️
You’re so strong and motivated I love it!
Blessings to you. This way of life is adventurous and inspiring. As a fellow plant-based person who is interested in vanlife, you are fantastic. Love and light be yours.
Omg I’m A New Subbie ! I Can Say You Have One Brave Soul💕 Kuddos To U For Being So Brave And Carefree ! Wish You The Best On Your New Beginning💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I wish I could do this. The closest I've been was on a truck with my beloved and child and it was so Awesome! Be free! Love it. Live it. 💖💖🙌🙌🙌

if there was a word to describe your bodaciousness it will be dauntlessness!!! sorry for the big words but you light up my day. some people think if they don't have a phone their living the worst life, but your not in the best conditions and you make it seem like nothing. but that's why your my role model good luck god bless and keep spreading your positivity.
unicorn pricess awww u lit up mine with ur big beautiful words.
I'm a brown girl vanlifer, nice to meet you! My name is Randi. Thanks for posting this vid!
THANK YOU!!! I saw your other video, and I was searching through all the videos I could find just to see again what you used to hang up your curtain then I came across this video which showed the most perfect picture of the hook! Definitely going out tomorrow to find some D rings LOL great idea!!!
Girl, yes and yes and yes and yes to all the answers you gave... even to feeling like you're cozy and tucked inside a womb, swaddled. That's exactly my feeling too. I'm a brown chick too rocking the van life for years before it was en vogue. The cold is so much easier to deal with than the heat. The right amount of blankets on your bed will solve the problem. With the heat, you can invest in auxiliary batteries and fans or battery-operated fans that truckers use and park under shade trees but you're gonna be hot at night in the middle of summer without fans or air circulating. But there are other ways around that too. When I was in college, I use to sleep at night in the summer on any one of the sofas around campus .... in the gym locker, the library, the University Center, the classroom buildings, etc. I use Anytime Fitness for workouts and showers. I love the lifestyle! And it just gets in your blood after you do it once. I actually got back into reading tons of books instead of spending my free time cleaning a house or apartment, doing minor repairs, paying all the stinking utility bills, etc.
so glad you created this space for brown girls!!
I came across your last video last night and was hoping you post another video and you did today. 😃 I want to see your adventure!
I love your so chill attitude. Trying to do a similar conversion in my 2003 tahoe. Hope to be on the road in just a few short months. Awesome job btw!
Thank you so much! I’m literally going through a time where I don’t want to go to college instead a trade to be a nail tech and my family is judging & it’s making me depressed this just forced to follow me beliefs & dreams & not care do what makes me happy! New subscriber💞
your dope a'f ❤️ I can't wait for more videos, I believe in you and can't wait for you to build your audience ! mad respect believe in yourself other then the rest of the crowd much love
Your amazing and really beautiful and I feel you've made a good decision cause it really saves you money keep your head up your doing good especially going to work and school to that's amazing 😍😍
