  • In this one we are camped out at a nature preserve called Hampton Tract in Central, FL.Things were going fine until we had to call the cops. I didn't get any footage, but here is what happened in a nutshell. Then we try and shift our energy to a more positive one and enjoy our time camped at this beautiful preserve.

    Don't you hate when a state like Fla lives up to it's stereotype. I know you all would have loved to experience all the positives that Fla has to offer but it's unfortunate that we live in a time when many people like to impose their misery on those around them. Stay positive!

Practice more on the drone and be careful they have that crazy law in Florida "stand your ground law" they will start a fight and say they was scared or whatever. Just be mindful there are a lot of a holes with guns in that state.

    Being a little older you need to understand that this is a very different time. Folks of color, many have had to live in fear when Karen’s and other white folks got upset. Because when the police came they knew there was an 80-90% chance they would side with them even when we were within our rights. Proud of you for standing up for yourself. You and your Mom stay safe out there.

I'm interested to see your experience if you head through South Carolina. I'm in Greenville near the mountains. It's a surprisingly cool place to visit in general. I'm not sure about van-life-wise though. Wishing you more good days!

    I’m so glad you got the police on those evil people and that you found the police generous and helpful to you! I am a Floridian right now not by choice but because I have to live with my mom because she needs my help. We live in the panhandle, and I have discovered some really nice free camping around here. And I would love if you would come this way and stay in some of the places I can recommend. Not saying the peopleWill be nicer here. It’s definitely a red state. But it’s also beautiful. Meanwhile, I hope the weather improves and that you stay cool and comfortable and have lots of sun at the same time.

    I really enjoy your UA-cam channel. My daughter and I are talking about van life so we look to you and your mother as inspiration to our own dreams. I understand that you have run into some rough times and I send beautiful loving vibes to you in this time of others showing weakness in character. Never have I heard you intentionally hurt another living being until your last 2 post. My energy has been lowered and my heart aches. You've used the term "Karen" and followed it with "as a woman of color". I am caucasian, my daughter is biracial this hurt our spirit because we felt within the vanlife style we would no longer have to deal with so much ungly division. When I think of van life I feel the vibes of Woodstock, when all people of many nations flowed as one. I am sending healing vibes and positive energy for you and your amazing mother. I pray this too will pass neither you or your mother should be treated so ugly as you have in the last 2 videos. Much love please keep the positive and real van life flowing for those of us who watch, learn, and enjoy your UA-cam.
    Blessings 🎶🦋🎶
