see Nikita’s video here: • Living in Stephi Lee’s... Follow me on instagram: / stephilee Book a tattoo: www.stephilee.com/ UA-cam sponsorship inquiries: stephilee@thestation.io
how does she make/save money with living in just her car? id personally save for a van but a car seems like the faster cheaper option and i would make do. but how does she do things? guess i could check out her page huh lol..
I love how you just meet all these people on the road and do things like this. Also, I feel the introverted conundrum of seeming antisocial when you go quiet. Sometimes it’s nice to just observe everyone else while quietly recharging yourself
This was a totally interesting and entertaining video. I enjoyed watching you two having a picnic together and your experience in the civic Stephi. Easy to understand challenges of living in such a tiny space as a honda civic but i was surprised Nikita didn't have anything positive to say about her van experience.
I loved stephi videos ever sense I started watching a few years backvshe has a beautiful and inspiring soul a warm personality and is soft spoken she adds beauty to an ugly world and she shows us that we are one with nature.
The crazy thing is that she's 31 and tall... don't get me wrong, 31 is young in most respects, but I don't think most 31 year olds can handle living in a car that small unless they are under 5'2 and still blessed with no joint issues. I was already having problems in my late twenties and no way could I have done this.

@@dd___dc Oh wow... that sucks. I highly, highly recommend that you get a van. I'm afraid you're doing damage to your joints that will only get worse. Your body is warning you right now.
@@automnejoy5308 thanks for da kind words. I am unfortunately struggling I been applying for a regular job 9-5 but still haven't landed a job. I have app base job it fluctuate too much.dat Is my goal/dream 2 buy a cargo van 1 day and build it out myself even thou I have no experience.wen it hurts too much and in gets unbearable I go in 2 da woods and set-up my 1 person hiker tent and lay down 4 a bit
Your filming and editing have gotten SO good these days! I've been thinking about camping in my Prius V wagon... but maybe I'll reconsider! Happy trails!
I stealth camp all the time in my 2018 Civic Hatchback, plenty of room because of the hatchback with the seats down, and I stay in it for 8 to 10 days quite often. I even bring my kayak and bike of the roof rack and bike rack. Forget all that "cooking" crap, just bring a cooler, keep healthy veggies, fruit, and make chicken and tuna sandwiches. And definitely have a cold beer every evening, maybe two! It works great!
I lived in a car for a week when my mum kicked me out years back and absolutely hated it lol big respect for living in a car 24/7. Another great vid thanks sweet 😋
Stephi you are a so well mannered and polite young lady, it would be an absolute honor to meet you and hang out with you even if it was for only one day. It something I don't think anyone would ever forget. Your definitely the genuine article, stay safe and well and look forward to your next vlog. ❤❤
Stephi, I really enjoyed that "sharing" homes video. You two really compliment each other with your artistic contributions. Thank you and Safe Travels - Frankie G.
I never liked sleeping in my car, I much prefer to plant a tent and a have a proper mattress or an inflatable one, enough of rough nights! Another thing I found I needed to have when roaming around, was a basin to wash myself more easily
Despite being 6'3" I would have loved to live in a car instead of being homeless. (Was homeless for a little over 4 years in Carson City) In the end we adapt with what we have.
You awesome stephi you make alternative living so interesting always to see the different way some different love you stephi love how you show the different ways you can live life
What a strange and unique video. Stephi Lee you are a trip! Can barely wrap my head around the whole Vanlife but carlife. I have 2 dogs and start in October in a Honda Odyssey!
Who couldn't love sleeping in your van with your big floof? I have a great Pyrenees as well and I can't imagine traveling without him. To each their own I guess but kudos to your van in your magnifico doggy!
I was just about to look up Nikita's channel because I'm in a SUV and someone recommended her channel. I LOVE small spaces. And my son lived in his Camry for 5 years I think. He could have easily got an apartment but he refused to pay rent. Oh, my count is like 80 but I'm older than both of y'all. 🥰
Albert Camus was a weird writer, I read "The Stranger" in high school. It's good, but a little sad. He was an existentialist and a lot of his books touched on that. The stranger is his most famous work, and it talks about the meaninglessness of life and absurd-ism. I think your friend might be a little depressed or going through an existential crisis. Give her lots of hugs.
I find it interesting how neither of you actually enjoyed the change. I'd definitely prefer a van over a car as I suspect most people going into this type of situation blindly would.
The recap session was the nicest possible way of insulting each other's lifestyles. LOL "I don't have much to note about it... I could never have a dog in a van, I couldn't keep anything clean, I need a water heater" and "I don't know you sleep scrunched up. It was so uncomfortable. I don't know how you've done it for 3 years"
No no no don't ever do that again to our sweet adorable baby puppy doggy!! 🥺😊 I'm sure he was so confused, poor guy Lol Great video, I bet you were missing your van after that! Lol
Haha Oh my God I lived in my Prius for a couple years. Cracking up at you saying how could you loose your lemonade in such a small space. 😂 Definitely happened almost daily! I don’t miss that part!
"I don't wanna be nosey and like go thru her stuff, but ooh what's this" made me laugh Also "a child called it" is a very good book, read the entire book in 1 day, but also very sad it's about a true story of child abuse. although the author's brother has said some things aren't true or none of it was, but he was also a child and he was not abused so who knows.
Just home with my 2 kids (under 5) living through your videos ...don't mind me ...lmfao counting down the days until labor day weekend to go camping 🙌🏽 it's about 100 outside where i live right now in MI so I lowkey wouldn't want to be outside right now lmao
SHOWERING: I couldn't handle a cold shower. BRRRR! But making a warm shower is easy. I boil a pan of water on the stove, then pour that into my bucket of cold water, making the temperature just right. Then I lift my 12v pump out of its jug, lower the pump into the warm bucket, and turn it on. Instant warm shower! Of course, I'm in my collapsible dog bathtub while washing myself. :)
I took existential literature thinking I would love it. Turns out I hated it. Loved the concepts. Hated the books. I do think about The Stranger very often since then. Sisyphus often too. I just know I'll only read the summaries from now on lol.
I gotta compliment the organizational skills. Especially the honda civic. A honda odyssey is the best of both worlds 🌎 👌. Compact, good gas mileage and lots of room 👍
Do You enjoy being outside??? IM glad i found your channel and get to experience with you... You do great videos!!! Thank You greetings from Paducah, Ky 🙂👍✌☝
I live in a Honda civic too about 2 yrs and wat I hate da most scrunching in da back I wake everyday with my leg hurting I also get a lot of anxiety wen I sleep in da back sometimes I rotate from front seat and backseat
I'm 6 ft tall and lived in my Dodge Dakota truck for a year, which is just two bucket seats in the front , a center console, and no back seats. I would often sleep with my feet out the window on a rolled up towel. You figure out how crucial it is to humans to sleep horizontal because I slept sleeping upright for 3 nights in my front seat and gotta postural edema a in my feet! It went away after walking for a whole day though.
There's no way I could live in a car. A truck or SUV maybe but a civic would be killing me. No room to stretch my legs out and trying to sleep in the driver's seat would drive me crazy not being able to really get legitimately comfortable. Now a pickup truck on the other hand where I can throw a mattress in the bed and have a small window unit air conditioner to keep it reasonably cool in the summertime when it's 90 plus degrees outside and maybe even a small refrigerator for drinks etc. I'd be good. But a car There's no way. My muscles would be all screwed up in my back and shoulders.
You can see Nikita’s perspective living in my van here: ua-cam.com/video/lXbnuEmE9Ok/v-deo.html ❤️

Came here from Nikita’s channel… glad she shared your swap experience! Just subbed! Your whole personality is such a vibe… so relaxing… thank you :)
Wow, it’s so funny to see someone occupy my space and try to figure out how to do it.
You also made my car look cute af.
You seem like such a sweet soul. Defo subbing bc I love the vibes you guys give off
@@SquishSquish Oh, thank you!
Subbing! And yep, your car is adorable!💜💜💜
I love how you just meet all these people on the road and do things like this. Also, I feel the introverted conundrum of seeming antisocial when you go quiet. Sometimes it’s nice to just observe everyone else while quietly recharging yourself
That background whilst having your picnic 😩 so peaceful and beautiful, just, wow. 🌲🌳🏞

There is no one like Stephi. This is so entertaining. I missed seeing her videos.
Your filming and editing have gotten SO good these days! I've been thinking about camping in my Prius V wagon... but maybe I'll reconsider! Happy trails!

The cuteness tension between you two is adorable 🥹💛
One of my favorite videos. Very humble and sweet and natural. Thank you for sharing!

I love this moment of vulnerable girl talk and friendship, so nice to see true female connection and friendship
I felt so happy for u when Olly greeted u in the morning..he's a proper dude...great vid❤️🇬🇧

Your an absolutely doll. I love watching you and Makita.
That mountain view is spectacular!
Love this collab! You two are so cute haha, also random question Steph! Where’d you get that b&g sleeve or mostly b&g haha looks beautiful!
Definitely enjoy watching stephi Lee channel. Definitely gave me some ideas for my channel in the future.
Much respect to her for living in a civic. I couldn't do it.
I’m sure Stephi used to live in a Civic 🤔
Love your videos your so talented 🥰
I love it!! I'm sure your so thankful for your van. Haha
It's funny, living in a semi truck feels as big as a van sometimes and as small as a car others. Another great video steph 😀 💜 🥰 ❤
I support both of y’all. Love you bestfriend
You look great in those glasses. I love your humility. Great video!
So, I knew Nikita and now I've met you and you are super chill. I'm looking forward to watching your videos.
So cute, gotta love stephi.
Burping while sitting in a close proximity is unpleasant, at least to me.
What a strange and unique video. Stephi Lee you are a trip! Can barely wrap my head around the whole Vanlife but carlife. I have 2 dogs and start in October in a Honda Odyssey!
Stephi you have the coolest most soothing voice.
Who couldn't love sleeping in your van with your big floof? I have a great Pyrenees as well and I can't imagine traveling without him. To each their own I guess but kudos to your van in your magnifico doggy!
Dogs are pretty overwhelming when you're not used to them.
Nice video stephi. Much love
I spent a week once in the heart of the east coast winter in a tiny lil car. I don’t think I wouldn’t wish that on anyone…but if I had too…hey
I was just about to look up Nikita's channel because I'm in a SUV and someone recommended her channel. I LOVE small spaces. And my son lived in his Camry for 5 years I think. He could have easily got an apartment but he refused to pay rent.

does it bring back memories when u 1st started in the honda element?
Your voice is so soothing
Poor Ollie, he was not happy with the switch!
Stephi breaks me up. “I don’t want to go thru her stuff, but… what’s this? Cool!” 😂❤
Fun! Neat you two got together!
Love this video.
Albert Camus was a weird writer, I read "The Stranger" in high school. It's good, but a little sad. He was an existentialist and a lot of his books touched on that. The stranger is his most famous work, and it talks about the meaninglessness of life and absurd-ism. I think your friend might be a little depressed or going through an existential crisis.

Wow, that was an unreal spot for your picnic. I would stay there for weeks... or forever.
Just a thought why. Not fold down back seats for bed and use parchel shelf as a storage area
Beautiful!
just found you. when you built that door I was so impressed I’ve been hooked ever since.
Stephi! Wow what a cool thing to do! Hope you have fun, and The Stranger by Camus is very good and philosophical. Have fun and tc
I find it interesting how neither of you actually enjoyed the change. I'd definitely prefer a van over a car as I suspect most people going into this type of situation blindly would.
I saw her on the news!! Awww
The recap session was the nicest possible way of insulting each other's lifestyles. LOL "I don't have much to note about it... I could never have a dog in a van, I couldn't keep anything clean, I need a water heater" and "I don't know you sleep scrunched up. It was so uncomfortable.

Haha Oh my God I lived in my Prius for a couple years. Cracking up at you saying how could you loose your lemonade in such a small space. 😂 Definitely happened almost daily! I don’t miss that part!
It's so easy to break into most cars if you know the ropes. Not going state how here. But have an touch alarm system can scare away most.
"I don't wanna be nosey and like go thru her stuff, but ooh what's this" made me laugh
Also "a child called it" is a very good book, read the entire book in 1 day, but also very sad it's about a true story of child abuse. although the author's brother has said some things aren't true or none of it was, but he was also a child and he was not abused so who knows.
You make me laugh your silly. I'm lying in bed & I'm so down today, I'm in major pain & I'm super sad & you make me smile. Thank you 😊
Hope you have a better day tomorrow and that your pain eases xx
Praying for you ❤️
Love it.. interesting idea...
Just home with my 2 kids (under 5) living through your videos ...don't mind me ...lmfao counting down the days until labor day weekend to go camping 🙌🏽 it's about 100 outside where i live right now in MI so I lowkey wouldn't want to be outside right now lmao
Haha enjoy your camping trip!!!
Stephi , You have the most loving heart iv'e ever seen. Your'e so beautiful too. I really mean it.
My brain “oooouuu what is this”
Oh my god her losing her lemonade.
Most enjoyable.
Thanks for making me laugh aloud.
Life is beautiful.
Much love ✌️💕
I just can't with that chicks burps. Like it scares me. Like I literally jump when she burps. wtf dude.
haha same!
It would be the perfect set up if your Pro Master got the same mpg as her civic.
Your van is 🔥
Does anyone know where I can buy the sun catcher stickers that make rainbows?
The author is Albert 'Camoo'.
Love your channel, Stephi. FYI: Camus is pronounced: ca MOO.
OMG. I was worried. I thought you sold the promaster.

Love it
She needs to get a van!! Awww
I read that book "A Child Called It".... I think it's by David Pelzer? That was intense...
Omg I was so happy to see her reading Albert Camus books!!! In French his name is pronounced “Cuh-moo” 😝😍
I took existential literature thinking I would love it. Turns out I hated it. Loved the concepts. Hated the books. I do think about The Stranger very often since then. Sisyphus often too. I just know I'll only read the summaries from now on lol.
The Stranger is my favorite book. I read it when I was 16 then as an adult and got something completely different out of it.
@@KabobHope Ahh that’s amazing! It’s my fave book too. So happy to meet another Camus-head! 😹
You have such a sweet soft voice
ofk…I have been wanting to get one of those promaster toy vans…I just wish that someone would give me one…I’d keep it on my dash.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard stephi be rude to anyone ! Skiiiiills
Woohoo y’all met! Nice
The lost lemonade instead of toxic family 😅😅
