VAN TOUR: 72yr SOLO FEMALE lives VANLIFE in a SKOOLIE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Have you ever unexpectedly come upon something simply too amazing to pass by without taking a second look. Well, that is exactly what happened to me today. I was in my van minding my business when out of nowhere I see this short pastel yellow skoolie with the most brilliant psychedelic colors hanging in the window. I immediately thought the owner of that bus has got to he the coolest person, and I was right. I stopped, rolled down my window and spoke to a striking woman standing next to the bus asking if she was the owner of the bus. When she said yes that was all I needed to hear. I hopped out of my van to meet the most incredible woman named of all things Carol! She is a 72 year old nomad with an amazing history full of travel and adventure tales going back to her teens. When I asked her if I could do a tour of her van she was only too happy to oblige, totally making my day and I think yours too when you see this video. Upon entering Carol's van it was like stepping back to my youth. It had these beautiful brilliant psychedelic window hangings reminding me of "hippies" I often encountered and sometimes in my wildest dreams aspired to be growing up in the Berkely/San Francisco Bay Area in the 60's and 70's. In fact, Carol called herself an original hippie. I think you will love this skoolie van as much as I did. Carol and I hit it off so well that we plan to a little cooking together in the future. I'll be sure to let you know when that happens. In the meanwhile why don't you step with me inside the magical world of Carol's very unique skoolie. #VANLIFE, #SOLOFEMALEVANLIFE, #VANTOUR
Best line-- People think I'm crazy, that's OK... I am.
I know. Lori.. When she said that during the interview I was thinking , "Wow. What a great way to live your life free of the burdens of the judgment of others". Thanks so much for pointing that out.🙂

I was going to say the same thing! The thing is, though, she has both brains AND good health! That's all you need in life!
She's my people!
Because it's so funny to be mentally ill, morons.
Very nice rig. I love that she is doing this at her age. IM 59 and after I beat Kidney Cancer I sat around for a while watching youtube. Then at 57 I sold everything or gave it away. Bought my 25 foot class A Winnebago Warrior motorhome and started living and traveling with my little dog Tinkerbell now for a little over 2 years. I have traveled over 30,000 miles through 8 states. So I love it. Keep on keeping on. Glad your out here on the road.
Wow Deb. It sounds.like you made a choice to live your best life and are doing just that. What an encouragement you must be to everyone who meets you!!
Thank you so much! IM living my dream!
Sounds awesome good for you..! Your an inspiration!!! I hope to take up this lifestyle choice...💜
That’s great I envy you
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your story❤❤❤ I started watching videos like this almost 5 year's ago, and I knew in my heart someday I'd own a van, I didn't know when, but just knew it would happen, my great aunt Peggy passed away last Sept, I bought her van from one of my cousins April 2! And named her after her❤ we may be older girls, (she's a 1999 F-E150) and I just turned 50 in January of this year😄! BUT! There's still plenty of life left in us! And we are planning many adventures in the near future!!! Prayers up and much love always my road sailing sister✌🌎❤
"Old School" Carol is a spitfire! You go girl ;)
I Need to hug this lady. Oh my-you is awesome-Carols make this world a better place 🤗
Just saw your comment while going 9ver older videos. Carol is a spitfire indeed. Spent some delightful time camping with her recently.
Lol, yes she is, I got a real kick out of her.
What a nice 70 years young lady , I hope everything works out for her .
She was really lovely Miguel. I felt so privileged to he able to interview her. Thank you so much for watching
Seems like nomads should get together (like in groups), and jointly buy some reasonably priced unrestricted land for places to settle down, and live in their vans, buses, etc. giving a little of the same lot/land to each other for a parking place. Maybe build a shower house on the land too.
Hey, I'm in!!! Actually, I have asked a few nomads about doing something like this with me, but so far no takers.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Which state/location would you have in mind?
@@sfrealestatedealmaker6001 Somewhere in the mountains on a lake.or river,, heck even a stream would be my ideal situation, but almost certainly would be out of my budget. Likely will eventually look at something in Oregon.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 I'm interested, but women only.
@@xxdrleek10 That is certainly an option.
Quite possible one of the coolest grandma's in the U.S. what a cool lady
FOR SURE!!! I agree completely. Everyone wants a grandma like her!
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 not me!!
Nope ! Im the coolest granny
We are failing as a nation when in one of the richest countries in the world our elderly are forced out of housing due to skyrocketing rent and need to live in a vehicle. She is lucky to have done this before, and has the skills to do it through her life experiences, but I can think of many elderly people who don't, and would be hard pressed to survive. Good for her for making the best of it and for enjoying her new home. It is beautiful!
It is quite a commentary on our priorities for sure. I hope to live long enough to see the day when safe affordable housing for seniors becomes a priority.
If you do some research, you’ll find that we’re trillions of dollars in debt. That’s not considered “rich” by any means. As a country, we have NEGATIVE net worth.
@@sfrealestatedealmaker6001 I already know we are trillions in debt and don't need to research it. Every country owes debt. We also have billions of dollars to spend, and not every country can say that.
@@Ekinnajay How can an entity have billions to spend when it is in “debt”.
👉🏼 That’s like saying you have $10,000 in credit card debt, but have a $11,000 credit line so you have $1,000 to spend and “you’re rich”. 😂
5th grade math tells me that you’re not “rich” and “you don’t have $1,000 to spend”.
We are NOT the richest country, we are trillions in debt.
DEBT = negative wealth. NOT “RICH”.
Geez, it’s not that complicated. Haha
@@sfrealestatedealmaker6001 I have thousands and thousands in student loans. I also make a great living and am able to afford a nice lifestyle. and still pay that debt. Having debt doesn't mean you don't also have money. But hey, thanks for 'splaining it to me *eye roll*. Maybe you should move on from 5th grade and try middle school.
cant believe i’ll ever see an og hippie gosh her face radiates so much more life than i currently do in my 20s
She really does radiate. I guess that is what a positive attitude and a love and appreciation for life will do for you. She is a living lesson on how to be joyful.
Yes, traveling abroad does get in your blood...I've done 47 countries and I'm not quite done!
@@roadrunner123 we’ve also done many, though not as many as you. Are you missing the travel as much as we are?
@@hazelem1266 Yes, I've been to Mexico numerous times simply to calm the urge of crossing a border!
Many people moving into vehicles these days. Never give up.
More and more are finding this is the best option for them at this time that's for sure. Carol has an attitude that I believe will serve her well no matter what she chooses.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 all the best to her
Thnx for ENCOURAGING us to not give up living the vanlife...72? Cool, im 68 and poor health for 2 yrs. Had pneumonia twice..im having a hard time keeping things organized, and uncludderness. For the past year ive been giving up almost everyday. Im not a quiter...im living in a minivan too, but i need a cheap RV for more room and something i can walk around in...in stead of sitting in my van all the time...thnx sweetie for helping me with hope...
@@silentecho4445 Being able to stand up is certainly a great deal easier. Until you can get a vehicle that allows you to stand up you might want to check out a video called Mini yet Mighty for ideas on how to better organize your minivan. Take care and God Bless.
yup for sure! Not impressed with the establishment myself lol
Tale of Two Carol's. Delightful interview. Chris the owner made the scoolie nice for her living space. Smart purchase of fridge and freezer. Safe travels to you both 🌞🙏🌞.
I know. What are the odds of finding another Carol by chance. Safe travels to you too Frankie. BTW have you attempted the yams yet? LOL
You only have to look into her eyes to see she has had a good rich life and long may that carry on ☺😃☺
She really was the most interesting person to talk to and has clearly lived her life to the fullest. A great example of making the most out of opportunities that come along. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Please Father, let that be me, when the time comes
Amen. When we do this its very important to have God as your co- pilot.
And when the Lord 🙏 answers your prayer I hope He answers mine, I have the same prayer, God bless us both.
Yes! Freedom and perseverance are good things to have.
@@nathanielbaker2556 I pray he will answer your prayers too Nathaniel. Hang in there. He is always faithful and is still in the business of answering prayers.
@@jacquelynn2051 Absolutely Jacquelynn!!
“People think I’m crazy! That’s ok, I am!” ...... I love your crazy, Carol, don’t ever change! Gday from down under 🇦🇺 🚎💨
She has the coolest attitude and outlook on life. Just a pleasure to be around. Thanks for stopping by.
Ya...love,down under
Thnx,Matilda...Love your country
I love this lady's energy. I love her optimism and enthusiasm too. Thank you for the interview.
Her enthusiasm is quite contagious. I need to spend a week around her, better than therapy. LOL
Love this lady’s beautiful spirit!
I am so glad that came thru Suzanne. She really does have a beautiful spirit. Not just engaging, but also kind and generous. There are some people your just feel joyful when you're around them, and she is definitely one of those people.
@@marycollins7058 I'm kind of perplexed at what her.moving due to her rent being raised has to do with her beautiful spirit?🤔
Count your blessings not your birthdays❤️ Amazing loving young lady❤️
Noel just letting you know I am appropriating that saying. Right on!!! Thanks so much
She isn't young. She is old and more power to her.
I LOVE HER!! She’s has an amazing attitude. I love her hippy vibe! Her experience in life has really given her a very positive perspective on van life! Thanks for her interview. I’m sure she will be able to provide and care for her expenses along the way!👌🏽👍🏽🌸🌼
She does have a great spirit and can do attitude. But I agree Daniel. Certainly it would be better if this lifestyle was a choice.rather than a necessity,.at any age..
I love serendipitous meetings like this. Great story and interesting bus.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Lucy. It really was an interesting bus and lady.
She knowz how2 interview very well!
She is clear calm & makes her questions quick
Short den👂moves on2 anada question
With an an air of easy flow its calming & doesnt interrupt
Most people cannot do a great inerview without interrupting prolonging a simple?2 da point & cannot wait till the person finishes👏 she also knew when2 stop the questions!
I was a tad bit anxious Nancy as Carol had told me before we started the interview she only had a few minutes to give as she wanted to get to her next destination before dark. So, I really wanted to respect her time, but still give my viewers an interesting and informative interview. I'm so glad you enjoyed the interview and tour.
I want that clock that says "whatever, I'm late anyway" ! 😂
Me too Alice🤣
She is great and a leader in the life even as new she is a great adapter not a complainer like so many nomadics.
She is someone who simply deals with what hand is dealt to her and makes the best of it. Very inspiring indeed!
Oh she's FANTASTIC! When you see her again, would you do another tour and let her walk us through it? Because it was built by an artist who loved it and she clearly appreciates all of his artwork, I would bet there are a ton of hidden touches that would not be spotted at first but that she would want to show off. I am so glad you stopped and talked to her! Great video!!
We do plan to get together in the future and that is a great idea. When I encountered Carol this time she was in a hurry and informed me she just had a few minutes to spare. So, I tried to respect her time. Next time we will have more time as we will schedule it. Thanks for your comment.
Carol = "a song of joy unto the Lord" !!! Thank you Carols for showing it is true!
What a lovely thing to share, Carol!! Thank you
Awesome interview! Enjoyed the entire footage. Can't wait to see what the Carol's will be cooking up soon.
Me too. I'm looking forward to cooking with her. Thanks so much for watching Ms. Renee.
I think you are among the best of those on UA-cam that does interviews with people living as a nomad. Thanks Carol !
Ladies....Carol and Carol..... if you are ever in my winter habit - central Florida I’d love for you to come for a dinner or two! You both are so very much inspiring! I hope to have my van next year!!!
I am already happy for you and your future adventures. Would love to meet you some day. Happy travels!!
Great interview! Two LOVELY Women and a Spectacular 💓 "Schoolie!" God BLESS all involved, especially those who helped her. And our lovely "Interviewer." AMEN! Lisa Rae Rousseau 🤗
It was really an amazing skoolie Lisa Rae with so many unique features and such beautiful artwork. Thanks so much for watching and commenting🙂
Such a beautiful lady. Great interview.
She was the most lovely lady. I'm looking forward to meeting up with her again. Thanks so much for watching Sonia.🙂
Cool Carols 🙏🏼😊👍🏻❤thankyou for sharing this. I wish you both safety and health, love and light ✌🏻👩🏼🎨❤
Thank you so much Amy. I will certainly.pass on your good wishes to her when our paths next cross.
This woman is awesome and it’s sad that the rent is so high that so many people are being pushed to live like this 🤷♀️ even tho I would love this 🥰🥰‼️‼️
I really do think Carol is enjoying herself. Despite what led her to live in a skoolie she definitely does not view herself as a victim.
That counter top is to die for, where is this man??? I love the height, the space, so much about it! It's fabulous. Expenses, insurance, repairs. Staying warm, yankee tip: sleep in puffy ski pants and a puffer jacket. Company store town below you and above you. You'll be in a cloud. But never want to get up.lol😊 Carol you are wonderful!😊
Your interviewing skills are great. Very approachable, open, you let them talk and you listen. 😁
In a really cool world this woman with her schoolie would make an appearance on Grace and Frankie. I can easily imagine the episode. I’m sure she’d get along with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda easily 😊
Skoolie Carol would make a good addition to any situation!!
She had me on da flo! She said "everybody says I'm crazy.......and I am! 👀 I ain't mad at Carol......she owned it
awe what a great video for Carol. I got to meet her in Minnesota at Digikey she gave me an electric tea pot which i love! I wish you nothing but the best Carol stay you and stay safe. I hope to see you at Quartz one day.
I tell anyone who meets Skoolie Carol that they are in for a real treat. So glad you were able to experience her amazing spirit. Thanks so much for stopping by to share.
Love both Carol's!!! Savvy, sassy ladies so full of life! 💖
Thank you Margie💜 Skoolie Carol's exuberance and love of life was contagious.
How fun!! Love it! I'm 60 and part time in my van now. She represents 72 year old goals for me...The clock made me laugh out loud, and pretty birchwood stick and closet, over toilet any day!! :)
I cracked up when I saw that clock. Thank you for brining it up. I was so awed by everything I was seeing that I forgot to highlight it! BTW, she represents my 72 yr old goal too!!
Wow, what an ADORABLE bus and woman🌼
Couldn't agree more!🙂
Carol, This is great and this lady Carol is a gem. Love her and her "Old Scoolie"
She really is a gem, Dee. It was such a joyful experience meeting with and interviewing her. I'm coming across more and more senior women like you on the road taking what life throws at them and making it into something beautiful. Refusing to just give up!!
I live in salt Lake City utah. I love the color of that bus and the interior is so fun. Carol is a sweetheart and just so happy. Safe travels to both of you and enjoy the road for those of us who can't
Lynda when I saw this cheerful looking bus and then saw Carol standing outside it I just got a good feeling. Turned out that feeling was right! She was simply delightful.
Lovely lady, she is an adventurer for sure! I wish her all the best on her travels, hopefully you will reconnect with her.
I sure hope so too Shavauna!!
I love her! She reminds me of my grandma. 😢 she has so much fire in her!
She is absolutely a wonderful spark of oldies...goldies...lovely spirit. That "skoolie" is awe-endearing...fantastic. I hear so much wisdom of experience in her talking with you. And what a blessing she was given to now be the owner of such a beautiful piece of folklore...of a bus. That's now her charming...home sweet home. A joy to watch this...so precious and adorable...you two Carol-s. Thank you much for sharing. Looking forward to the upcoming cooking show. Yes, traveling and making Nomadic cooking videos is a special treat. Bon Appetite!🤗🍗🍤🍲🌽🍍🍝 Safe and Happy Travels! *Vandie Van 🚐Wings 🕊*
Thank you so much for your truly gracious comments. I have spoken with Carol since this interview and I'm telling you the things she shared with me about her life are truly amazing. I felt like I was talking to a living version of Auntie Mame!! It was just a delight listening to some of her adventures and an inspiration.
That's an awesome skoolie. I enjoyed interview and tour.👍🏾
It is so much brighter and cheerful in person. Hopefully, the video gave some idea of just how much fun it is inside with all the artistic touches. Thanks for stopping by.
What a fun looking schoolie. Hard to believe they went through all that work and no insulation. Carol seems like a very spunky lady. Great interview Carol.
Thanks Jonnie. She was quite spunky and a lot of fun for sure!
Hi Jonnie! I actually built the bus to be my Summer bug-out bus for surf, scuba, and kayak trips, and never intended to do cold weather trips (at least not freezing temp trips). But I did eventually do a few freeze yer azz off trips, and my buddy heater kept me alive. But no... no way would I attempt to use it for winter living in cold zones. I do have friends (skiers and snowboarders) who fully insulated and have heat/stove systems for that purpose. Maybe my next bus will be all-seasons. Cheers!
I’m Carol also! So nice to see you both! Thank you for your story! God bless you both! 😃😍🙏🏻❤️
Well hello CAROL. I already know I like you. LOL. Thanks so much for tuning in.
I just subscribed yesterday, saw you on the PBS segment. I can’t wait until I get my trailer and hit the road! I love hearing all of the stories of fearless women and men. God bless you! 🙏❤️🙏
Welcome to the G.L.O.W. family💜. Skoolie Carol absolutely fits the definition of fearless. How exciting that you are preparing to get on the road. I would love to hear more about your adventures when you do. Take care.😊
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 thank you!
What a sweet lady.. Nice meeting you Carol of the yellow school bus... Keep on truck'n!!!
I am so glad to have been able to introduce this dynamic lady to everyone so you could be inspired as I was.
Wow would of never guessed she was 70 years old she looks younger!
Absolutely. I guess living an adventurous life keeps you young! Thanks so much for watching.
What a fabulous woman, very impressed with her go to attitude.
She is absolutely fabulous. I am convinced she is a super hero. LOL
The rents here in Prescott, Arizona have gotten way out of hand in the last few years too. I have hear from other people across the country and in Canada too that rents are just outrageous.
It used to be rents were outrageous only in big cities. No longer the case. Before long it will take a couple of families going in together to afford a home.
Trust me. I will be going nomadic myself soon; partly because of unaffordable rents and partly because I have not been west or south and those "ackroads are forever gentle on my mind"
@@chasethecat3839 Good luck in your travels.
@@chasethecat3839 Once the itch to travel hits you nothing will do but to satisfy it. Happy travels!!
Delightful woman. You are two peas in a pod. Thank you, love her build. Love you both!!!!
AWW Be still my heart, I am in the process of doing what Carole did, I have a shorty just like hers. Trying now to get it road ready. This gives me hope and inspiration. Thank you GLOW for sharing. ♥ALWAYS BE BLESSED♥
Wow. I am excited for you Sissy and would love to see your shorty. I bet it is going to be fabulous. She was indeed an inspiration. A true example.of a free spirt, but determined to make her dreams and vision come true.
I am so happy to see this young woman doing exactly what she wants and living large! Way to go!
Young? You are young. We seniors find it annoying when people young enough to be our grandchildren call us "miss" or think they are flattering by calling us young. It is just fine to acknowlege a person's long and rich life and celebrate the energy they still have and the wisdom they have by being old.
I love the clock. Lol. Carol seems like a nice lady. I like her bus. 🙂
I cracked up when I saw that clock. It fit Carol's personality to the tee! Tuanks for the comment.
Me, too. 😁
Ms. GLO, true you are always quite fashionable with you hats, yet, you looks great without them too. You look very energetic, youthful and passionate with your hat as well. Great interview and many thanks for thinking of us whole food plant based folk.
Thanks so much Gilbert. I am working on coming up with more whole food plant based dishes. Unfortunately, there won't be as many as they just aren't received as well. If you have any great recipes I would love to know about them.
Some of the best friendships start by chance. I can't wait to see who else you bump into. Stay safe out there on the road
I can't wait either Helen. You are so right about friendships starting by chance. Someone who has become a great friend was someone I met quite by chance in the desert. Thanks so much for watching.
Well Carol and Carol very inspiring video... I love the schoolie. Blessings in your day..
Thank you so much. Blessings to you and yours also🤗
This Carol is just as much an inspiration as you are Carol - I am also a Carol and have plans to join the vanlife community in 2021! Hope to meet you both on the road 😃
Another Carol. Yay!!! The vanlife community is truly an amazing community. Mqy I suggest you check out the Home on Wheels alliance, HOWA, website to sign up for some of their free virtual seminars for women in vanlife and virtual caravans Take care. See you on the road🤗
Beautiful build. Lucky to find this bus. Suits her very well. Looking forward to the tofu recipies! Bob Wells has touched all our lives.
I am also looking forward to the tofu recipes Flora. Bob Wells has indeed touched so many lives. It was at an RTR that I came up with the idea of starting a You Tube cooking channel!!
You did a great interview....Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I enjoyed doing the interview as much as sharing it. Thanks so much for watching,.and have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving ☺
Hahahaha! I *LOVE* her clock -- I want one like it!!
Quite original - there are so many good ideas in there.
This is the size/style skoolie I have seen on my daily drives and have been imagining as a build out.
Go for it!!! The fun you will have and the amazing people you will meet. Don't forget to let me see it when you're done🤣
$399 for the refrigerator I need it!!!!
What brand was that fridge/freezer?
@@2okiesbus305 Sorry, just seeing your comment while checking older videos for comments. The fridge is an Alpicool. Hope this helps.
Just seeing your comment. Tjanks for watching. The fridge is an Alpicool. Take care.
WOW! Watched all 3 videos and all I can say is WOW! Carol is an amazing person and LOVE the Hippie vibes of her schoolie! All the BEST to BOTH of you and thans MUCH for sharing! Cheers :)
She's adorable🌻🌈I hope my spirit is as free as hers when I am 72💖
Me too!! Positive vibes must definitely keep you young based on this 72 year old!!!
I like her she’s feisty I pray 🙏🏽 that God keep her safe and for all the seniors out there ❤️ and I just love her 🏡 she’s got lots of space way more than most
Carol ‘Oja’ has lived a full fun independent adventurous life!
That we all should be so blessed at any age!! Thanks for watching and enjoying this delightful lady.
Her shirt says Ojai. A city in California.
"Lots of tofu & tempeh"...lol...MY BIG SISTER!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Skoolie Carol is simply a delight. She lifts your spirit within minutes of being around her!!
God Bless you 🙏 Carol Skoolie enjoy your travels, and Carol the interviewer.
Thank you so much Sharon. I think Carol is the kind of traveler who finds something fun and interesting wherever she goes!
God Bless Carol and her wonderful Skoolie. Glad you both met each other with the same name and cooking tasty meals in common. Thank you for sharing Carol. 😊
She’s so cool! Thanks for sharing!!
She was super cool and loads of fun. Thanks so much for tuning in.😊
Love, love, Love your channel Carol!!!
And another wonderful video!! Carol and her skoolie are both truly beautiful!! ❤️
Thank you so much. I have camped with Skoolie CAROL and she is just as much fun as she appears in the video.
Hi there. Just found you, so this is first vid I have watched and it was great. Hubby and I are seniors, been full time nomads for a year in a built out cargo trailer which will still be our toad for storage, and contains our full sz shower. We are skoolie owners since first of October and are converting to the skoolie. We will be in the Q in Dec. We will look for you two, please watch for us. We will have stickers on the bus. We are Mike and Miss Fred (Fred), and we are the Shoestring Travelers. Glad to make your acquaintances. 🤗
Hi Fredna, I am so glad you found me and my channel. Welcome to the G.L.O.W. family. I would love to meet you in Quartzsite and do a video of your set up. You can contact me at Gloriouslifeonwheels@gmail.com and we can arrange to meet up. Looking forward to seeing you. Safe travels😊
Really appreciate that the guy who sold it to her knee she’d appreciate it and that’s what mattered most.
He wanted his baby to go to a good home and it did!!
Nice interview! She's a firecracker, for sure. Also, thanks for putting up the warning about heating your unit with propane (or anything). Follow the manufacturer's instructions!
Thanks Joel. She was indeed a live wire and so much fun. As far as the propane, not that long ago it was on the news about a man who died in his RV from carbon monoxide from a propane heater!! I just want to make sure that anyone planning on the nomad lifestyle doesn't take any deadly risks.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Well, you are an absolute peach! Thanks for making these videos!
@@JoelWelter 🥰
Smart , doll of a lady ! God Bless her!
She truly is. I spoke to her the other day and it was like absorbinga bucket full of happiness!
That’s great!!! What an awesome lady. ❤️😊
She really is fabulous and has led such a fearless.and adventurous life. It was truly a pleasure meeting her and I just had to share her story.
I love your bus.
What a charming lady Carol is.
Good luck with your travels.
Thank you for sharing.
Be safe, stay well and God bless!!
Bonnie Carol is a charming, lively and fun lady to be around. Just spent some time with her in Arizona. Thanks for watching.
What a wonderful interview and walkthrough of this wonderful woman's bus. The two Carols what a coincidence...I've spent a lot of time over the years watching videos of people living in vans it absolutely fascinates me (Bob Wells is great). Awesome video Carol, I'd love to see a cooking colab with both of you some time soon!
Thank you so much Paddy Joe. I certainly hope to do a cooking video with Carol in the future. Maybe from Quartzsite.
Great to see both Carols. Love the Schoolie. I’m 73 and have a VW camper van. And can’t wait to get on the road. I’m in Canada and we are in lock down. Happy and safe travels to you both. Looking forward to your cooking videos. Take care. See you down the road.
Hopefully this will all be over in the not too distant future Marg. Hope to see you down the road when it is🙂
I love the scoolie tour and the whole interview. But I would have appreciated it more had Carol the interviewer asked Carol the interviewee a little bit of her personal or family background; you know, how is she all alone (not lonely) at age 72? Good luck on your journeys, Carols. Cheers!
You're absolutely right. If I have the pleasure of meeting up with her again I will certainly ask her some of these questions. I hope to get better and better with each interview. Thanks for the great input.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Yay I look forward to that. Also will you ask her about the bathroom? Shower, toilet etc. What does she do? Thanks! :-)
Frase, I was able to talk to Carol recently and learned that although she has had some close relationships, she has never married and has no children. She does have a close relationship with other family members. However, based on her fierce sense of independence would never want to be dependant on them. She has lived a very full and adventurous life and highly values her freedom. I plan to do a follow-up interview after she has.been on the road in her skoolie for several months.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Thank you so much for this update. Yeah, I’d reckoned she was unmarried and an independent woman who valued her freedom so much. Prayers for and a big hug to her.
More power to you, Carol, and good luck on your journeys.
She's freaking awesome. I want to be like her when I grow up. I wanted to dress normally, live independently, and not act like a typical "old" person.
I love her!! What a delightful lady 🥰 the bus is nicely designed..but the main feature in this video is definitely the busses awesome owner. I aspire to be like Carol 💞.
I have to agree Jenny. I have a feeling any room she enters she will be the star!!
She is awesome. This is the type of I inspire to be.
She is an example to all of us!! Live everyday to the fullest.qnd keep on keeping on!!!
I love that skoolie and the hippiness of it. Fantastic!
Me too Hillary. It sure takes me back to the old days, Fillmore West... and so many memories. Thanks for stopping by.
Great job my friend much love from Oregon!
Thanks so much Gina. It was certainly a fun video to make. Take care.🙂
You are so sweet and a great interviewer. The best to two Carols.
Great, do what makes you happy! You are amazing, bless you 😊
Thank you so much for watching. May God also bless you and your family and keep you safe in these difficult times!
Thanks Carol for a great report. I love this woman. Carol { the scooly owner} is a lovely character, and she has her head screwed on. I'd love to bump into her some time as I'd just know we'd get along just fine. She's a great inspiration!
She is a a lovely character for sure. You will certainly be delighted if you have the good fortune to meet her.
I think I might have a "crush" on this wonderful lady - though I'm only 64, I've always been attracted to older women. ;-)
Seriously, she's attractive in so many ways - a wealth of knowledge, real world experience, and sharp as a tack! Only criticism... tofu! Ackk! Nice skoolie too - as a SUV & tent dweller, I'm just a bit jealous.
Come to AZ and let's have a chat
Well..let's meet

We can see to the end of the street while He can see around the corner. I will be praying for you and God's grace to sustain you through whatever it is that comes your way my Sis.
