I’m so grateful that my parents stayed together. My Dad cared for my Mom in Her final years. She waited on Him while He provided for the family. He refused to date, after my Mom passed. He said,” After having your Mother, who shall I have.” I said you know Dad. It is till death do you part. You can have companionship. He said,”She maybe free from me, but I’m still with Her. What a beautiful thing a Dad could say to their children. No one measures up to your’ mom. I am grateful for my parents loving example and My wife and my 30 years together thus far. Bob may have helped a few lives and romanticized more into ruin. My two neighbors just passed. He died from complications after back surgery. She died a week later of a broken heart.
Bob can't break solid. While your parents were happy, a lot of other people are miserable. And no one owes anyone a lifetime of misery. I don't know anyone on their deathbed who's proud of how many decades they suffered in toxic relationships. I only know people who regret not living the life they wanted to live.
Thank you for watching the video and for your response. My ex is not my childrens father, so that was not a concern. Situations necessitated that I leave. The movie Nomadland was the inspiration for my choice.
Me and my dogs one parrot. I'm good in a room with all. I'm wearing a shirt that reads today. Animals I ❤. People are a distraction and we get along, not so much.....Have a wonderful afternoon- 🌹
She’s not alone, she has her dog. Better company than most people. I admire that she didn’t spend her retirement in an unhappy marriage but chose this life that suits her well. Happy trails.
"I don't have time to be lonely, I enjoy being alone" I LOVE THAT!!!! People always asked me that question, boy, I can't tell them enough I love being alone and never feel lonely, ever!
Greetings from a former nursing assistant. Thank you for all you did for others. Thank you for saving lives. Glad you are now putting your needs first.
Great build. Don’t apologize for dog hair, she’s worth every hair. The pros way outweigh the hair or inconvenience. You’ll never find a more loyal companion.
That hoody looks so comfy! Love the van too :) i had never heard of those lil bathroom packets before, thanks for sharing :) nice to meet you, WyrdAdventures!
The hoodie is very comfy, it is 2 sizes larger than I need. Yeah, the packets are great to use. Kinda like the stuff nurses use for NG canisters. Thanks for watching the video!
I too live full-time in my Pacifica. I've been loving vanlife for over two years. I think the Pacifica is a great van for this lifestyle. Love her build!
Most of us are dog lovers and know how hard it is to keep all the dog hair at bay. We love our dogs too much to care😊. Wyrd is beautiful and happy ❤. Thanks for the tour, your rig is awesome. Safe and happy travels!
I have watched many many videos and I am thoroughly convinced that if you're a solo person the minivan is the best option if it is configured correctly.
Great video and van set up. I am a medically retired LPN worked 32 yrs,raised 6 children then straight into taking care of my parents dad has passed and mom is 82 and in poor health I can only do a few short camping trips but my 1999 Turtle top Ford E150 is ready. I am a Cancer survivor and have multiple orthopedic problems but hoping after mom passes I will be up to traveling.
Thank you for watching the video. Never give up on your dreams! Make an effort to travel, even if for a short period of times, you won't regret the memories!
@@wyrdadventuresWyrd, thank you for the video and for sharing. May I ask what made you decide to leave your spouse at such a late age. It seems very rare because most people your age just stay together. That was a bold, gutsy move. All the best!🌻
@texasgoddess323 It's amazing how many people my age don't stay together due to lack of love and lack of common interest. In my case, it was not only both, but It was time for me to be in control of my life, be happy, and live life instead of just existing. Thank you for watching!
How wonderful you can travel with your German Shepherd. They are such loving companions. After so many years of service in Healthcare you deserve the best self care. I glad you found it and are a inspiration to so many others.
Your a beautiful person to include your 4 legged friend on your journeys. You can tell folks same as i sure do...... My house is clean, i am clean but if you ever visit me and dont see at leaset one, two dog hairs. Im not living!!!!!!! Not living happily anyway. Take my 4 legged babies ( as i never could have real babys ) i wouldnt maks it lonv at all. Love your layout and that it all works for you and the doggie. Safe and most enjoyable travels 💗🐾🐾 to u both. 🌹
Congrats on the move to full time van life! Based on your careful thought I’m sure it’s the right decision and you’ll have a blast seeing the country (don’t forget Canada). Save the money from the house and if you want to come back to a “stationary” home down the road you’ll have the funds. 😊
Travel experienced✔️ RN/educator career✔️ Organized/Efficient rig✔️ Independent✔️ BEST breed k9 pal/protection✔️ YOU got this!! 👍💪💕🩷🐾 Disclaimer-- Our big 5yr old GSD girl is a fit dark b/t like Wyrd. 😘🐾
I also recently retired, and will be leaving Indiana with my 2 dogs soon for the SW. I like your setup, it is a lot like mine! Safe travels and maybe will see you on the road!
HI Starr and Wyrd 🎉 Awesome tour of your rig!! I love all the updates you have done!!! Very efficient!! Jacq could hear Wyrd in the background and came to the door! I know he can't wait to play with her again!! We will see you soon!!!!
Just subbed. I also have GSD but have an ambulance. Amen to those dog hairs!! I kept waiting for you to talk about the hair and I had to laugh. It comes with the breed. They don’t bother me…. That’s the good thing. Nice van!
Thank you for watching! Yeah, I've learned that it is almost impossible to keep the hair in the van at bay. It is on me, in my drinks, in my food, just everywhere. 😊
Lovely lady & sweet pup. Good example of how to keep a clean, organized van with room for both. I'd like to see how she does her cooking. Wishing her all the best!
Your home is so neat and organized..you are an inspirational lady...you are living MY dream!!! For now I'm anchored to one place...maybe one day. Lady trust me..dog hair is no big deal!! No need to apologize. I have 4 small ones so lots of hair!!
My gaze kept going to that open space on her roof… I’m so glad I filled it with solar instead of having to setup folding ones, since they’re always “on” (when I’m not!) I gather so much more sun power. Our host’s method on another his videos worked great for my Sienna, so easy. Thanks!
@offgridadventures Great van tour. You find some of the nicest people to interview. I always appreciate your video techniques and editing, too. Keep up the good work!
That was a very inspiring video. All I saw was true happiness. Also, I love the setup. She is a true dog lover. To setup your four wheeled house to give her dog so much room. Dogs need the room for stretching and laying comfortably. I travel with my cat. She doesn't need a lot of room, but she takes advantage of it. My little queen, lol. I want the bed build. I want to go from my metal cot, to a shorter wood diy bed build. I love yours. Great video. Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoy your retirement life. 👋
I love her attitude! I'm in the middle of converting my minivan so I'm watching a bazillion tours and her layout is definitely one of the better ones! I'm wondering if you could ask her the name of that gelatin type product that soaks up toilet liquids? Thank you so much!
You're not 'alone" i find the companionship of my pets is more than enough. You still interact with people all the time. But you never hear complaints about where you decide to go. How many people who have a person traveling with them can say that.
This is such a lovely simple build. Functional and yet not invasive or difficult to reverse when it's time to move on from this specific vehicle. I'm really glad she had a place she could store the seats and stuff at her daughter's! Very well done video as well. I'm not sure why it's just out suggesting this type of video from you after I found you with those Electronics reviews. I assumed you were brand new to UA-cam and I was so impressed with the video quality and how easy it was to understand you but I see you have so many videos I haven't watched and it makes a lot more sense haha
I have a lot of different types of content. So, it’s sometimes hard to have a big reach because every video is unique. Thanks for stopping by and I’m glad you have seen some of my other video styles.
Thank you for your years as a nurse in the medical field. And sharing your van interior and life with us. Nice build. Thank you for the video. Blessings to you
I love your setup. I just recently upgraded to a minivan and it's a mess right now. My rooftop carrier doesn't work on this car but I didn't realize it wouldn't do I'll have to get racks put on when I go back to Minnesota next spring. In the meantime I'll buy a cheap tent to put things in for now. We learn as we go along.
You look totally at peace with your fur baby and your adorable and extremely functional home on wheels. Be safe. Enjoy. And hug your dog for me. He’s beautiful. ❤
I'm so glad I watched this video because I have an 80 lb. dog and he is the reason I haven't tried to take a trip in my van. After watching you, I see that it can be done. You are an inspiration. BTW- I love being alone at my age- you go girl.....best time of my life!!!!!
I’m so grateful that my parents stayed together.
My Dad cared for my Mom in Her final years. She waited on Him while He provided for the family.

What a beautiful thing a Dad could say to their children.
No one measures up to your’ mom.

Bob may have helped a few lives and romanticized more into ruin.
My two neighbors just passed. He died from complications after back surgery. She died a week later of a broken heart.
We never know what happens behind closed doors. Because I kept quiet for my son’s sake, I was misjudged.
Bob can't break solid. While your parents were happy, a lot of other people are miserable. And no one owes anyone a lifetime of misery. I don't know anyone on their deathbed who's proud of how many decades they suffered in toxic relationships. I only know people who regret not living the life they wanted to live.

@@BigNoe-u7uwho are you to dare make such a rude comment? Let me guess, her ex 🤡
"I don't have time to be lonely, I enjoy being alone." My sentiments exactly.

Thank you for the comment and for watching the video.
I needed to read this today. Ty
@@debslifesimplified6406 I hope it helps you!
100%
I love that she is finally living life for herself and her pup. She obviously gave many many years to others being a nurse. Safe travels!!
Thank you for watching!
May god bless all our nurses! Safe travel, and enjoy your retirement!!!
Love her independence, and that she created a completely different life than she had before.
Happy Trails!
Thank you and thanks for watching the video!
Just what I needed today!! Love seeing a woman and her pup enjoying life in retirement!!
Thank you for watching!
"I don't have time to be lonely, I enjoy being alone" I LOVE THAT!!!! People always asked me that question, boy, I can't tell them enough I love being alone and never feel lonely, ever!
Thanks for the tour of the well organized van. I agree with her about not having time to be lonely.
Thank you for stopping by and watching the video. With Wyrd to keep me busy, there is no lonely!
Greetings from a former nursing assistant. Thank you for all you did for others. Thank you for saving lives. Glad you are now putting your needs first.
My honor and pleasure. Thank you for watching!
Exactly. It is her turn now
Paul in Canada
Love her setup! Keeping things simple with minimal build so you can change the configurations on the fly!😎👍
Yes sir, Tim, That's the plan! Thanks for watching!
I like this lady. She has a bed and tracker collar for her dog and that makes me happy.
Great build. Don’t apologize for dog hair, she’s worth every hair. The pros way outweigh the hair or inconvenience. You’ll never find a more loyal companion.
I'm glad she reclaimed her life, and is doing what she loves.
She's happy, and that's what retirement should be.
Yes ma'am! Thank you for watching!
Retirement is such an American thing, what exactly are you retiring from?
@@march24-lp4pv everything that wasn't the real me and didn't make me happy.
That hoody looks so comfy! Love the van too :) i had never heard of those lil bathroom packets before, thanks for sharing :) nice to meet you, WyrdAdventures!
The hoodie is very comfy, it is 2 sizes larger than I need. Yeah, the packets are great to use. Kinda like the stuff nurses use for NG canisters. Thanks for watching the video!
As the nurse, I remember using them for n g t containers... So glad you just put this idea to use with that
She seems like a sweet lady and has a great companion. Safe travels.
Thank you!
I give you alot credit. You moved on with a new life. Happy Trails✨💃✨🇺🇸✨
Thank you! And thank you for watching the video!
I too live full-time in my Pacifica. I've been loving vanlife for over two years. I think the Pacifica is a great van for this lifestyle. Love her build!

Hearing her pupper in back ground wanting to get in on the action😂. Pupper will keep her active for sure
As a RN she did her time for others,now it's her turn.Love her Dog.Happy Trails to you both.💕
I have watched many many videos and I am thoroughly convinced that if you're a solo person the minivan is the best option if it is configured correctly.
Luv it. No time to be lonely 😊. Great set up. Good to see a minivan build that travels with a large dog like mine. Comfy for both of you
Thank you for watching!
This is an amazing setup. Thank you for showing it and for interviewing her.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.
From another retired nurse: ENJOY!!!👍🤗😘
Thank you for watching!
Great video (and great pup!). Love learning about how these small vehicles are put together.
I believe the Pacifica touring is the largest, but could be mistaken. Thanks for watching the video!
You're not alone. You have the best company, your beautiful dog ❤❤❤.
