I am so very ready to do this myself. I am retired and with my children living all over the USA I would love to be able to travel and see them more often. This would make it perfect.
Yes, I agree with everyone else..... Being clean & organized is the answer to success in a small living space. Thanks for sharing, and blessings to you as you travel!
Wow! Besides that you used every single space very well, everything is very nice and clean. Of course, this project works for people that we aren't tall, I'm 5.02 and I have to use the window area to place my pillow. Thanks for sharing
I truly enjoyed watching this video, such a perfect set up. I have a CRV and was tired of dreaming about getting out there so I folded down one side of the back seats, made a comfortable sleeping area and added what I needed to get out there and figured it all out as I went along. No more if/when for me!
I think this is one of the most impressive travel setups I've seen. It's also tidy and neat and everything fits exactly where you want it. No waste of space no wasted baggage. Very well done. Be safe on your voyage and have a good time !
Thank you so much! Unfortunately this et set up did not last long as it hurts my back. Here is the updated one please let me know what you think: ua-cam.com/video/TTkrx9Bv9rs/v-deo.html
Mai, I am speechless with gratitude. This was soothing, calming, energizing and inspiring all at the same time! I have been praying & thinking about what might be the most effective camping & travel strategy and vehicle for me , and I was so settled and centered by your van tour early in the video that I had to pause it to research a couple of particular vans that may work for me (since the SUV I decided on just over a year ago has proven to be a disappointment in many ways for my intended purposes). Thank you SO much for the quiet simplicity, the intelligently & helpfully presented information, and the gentle relational & visual beauty of what you have shared with us in this video. I pray you (and your lovely family) continued & expanded blessings in fellowship and in travel. 💐💐💐 By the way, I’m subscribing! 🤗
Brilliant build! Being extremely tidy I appreciate the organization ☺️ And how sweet to spend time with family 💕 "A place to rest, everything else you can figure out on the road" Love the 2 bedrooms! Wow. Looking forward to following your adventures!
Wow, I really love how simple and easy your home on wheels is. I hope to do the same in the future. I think I may try this summer. Not too far from home. Just to get my toes wet again congrats for taking that step and video ingredient again
Thank you so much, i have to say that this set up doesn’t work for long term travel. So I changed it to a new configuration and here is the latest one, please let me know what you think okay? ua-cam.com/video/TTkrx9Bv9rs/v-deo.html
My first thought was that you have such an incredible sense of style. Very zen-like, or feng-shui, your work and planning is impeccable. Thanks for showing this :)
Love your van set up with the "individual rooms". I'm too tall so I will be doing my bed along the side of the van, it will also be a seating area and I am leaving up the smaller third row seat in my 2005 Dodge Caravan 40/60 split. The area will be more like a living room than bedroom. I don't see us sleeping in the van as much but he will be able to use the bed and I will have a sleeping mat on the floor if needed. I need to be able to convert back to a van that can haul 4 to 5 people at a time. Love your tray idea and I'm definitely stealing that. I have adapted/built a small 4 drawer cabinet with a flip down area for my kitchen/storage. My husband (age 72) and I will be traveling on short trips for now, so we do not need to have as much gear/food, etc. I'm also planning to have a TV with a DVT player for his entertainment which will be on an adjustable arm. I'm just getting started and trying to keep costs down. Your set up is excellent, very clean but cozy.
Thank you so much! Oh my your van sounds so cozy and i bet you and your husband will have so much fun on the road! I wouldn’t have a problem sleeping on the floor as well. I had my set up like that at first too, but as I use my van more often i start figuring out what works better and so far I love this set up but who knows i might get tired of it and convert it in a different style again hahaha thanks for watching dear! 🙏🥰
The most organized, most simplest, most prettiest, most efficient, most effective, most inexpensive travel setup I've seen in the van travel world. The best part is not messing with removing and replacing seats. Congratulations on all your adventures.
I am in my SUV trying this for the first time. Trying to take a nap in the "At Home" 🙂 parking lot... The temp is ok I opened windows a few inches for air flow Put the back seats down I fit ...i am 5'4 yiipeee i fit🙂 I think i need a mattress ... have an extra twin one at home. This is too hard...i can not fall asleep ...or ...maybe i am not tired enough lol I feel safe ...i have my bible beside me and pepper spray too The traffic noise is actually sort of calming ...like rain is calming YOUR WILL BE DONE LORD keep helping me If u want me to get away and BE STILL and trust u more God. Please help me w the big and tiny details Lord. Amen
@Vanchiever / 88 Sonic keys / Artistic Concepts ooooh how exciting to take your🎵 music w u!!! Eeeekkkk may u pick the perfect home on wheels for yourself n 🎹your music. Keep us posted please 🙂
My husband and I used to camp until his stroke. We love traveling and visiting new places. You have inspired me to regroup and renew my mind on how it can be done. Thanks
Beautiful, soothing music! Thanks for your inspiring example of planning how to bring the essentials along with you in your tiny home on wheels. Safe travels!
I love how tidy your van is and how well planned and organized you are ‼️. I would never waste 30 minutes to watch an extended video where people give their entire life story and the "build" part seems to go on forever. I sm STUDYING your ideas and creativity, and considering using a lot of your ideas ‼️ Thanks also for the toilet tutorial! That was a very important part of your video ❤️. God bless and stay safe 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your camper conversion and taking us along! Your filming and editing style is so relaxing while being thoroughly informative and inspiring! I must echo all the other comments about your impressive organization and attention to details. What a great surprise that your family came to join you! Wonderful memories for all. Safe travels and happy adventures!
I honour how you are finding the strength in your independence. Yet, your soundtrack is in direct opposition to discovering true self. While in transition know your journey is helping others see that hope is possible always. You are a warrior Spirit. Your Best Is Good Enough.
What a wonderful set up you have. It helps to be organized and being solo helps too. I've seen some set ups would make me run screaming from the mess and over clutter. LOL
Awwww i feel you. But as long as the person who lives in the space is comfortable and happy; that’s all that matters I guess. It’s all about what environment we are used to. Some are okay with it, but me, I can totally relate with you. 🥰😍
Nice changes and additions. For your toilet, I would carry the plastic grocery bags and sawdust. Place a bag in the toilet if you absolutely HAVE to use it and put some sawdust in it, cover pooh with sawdust. Remove bag and tie for disposal. Double bag if you like. You could also keep a small container for it until you find garbage can. I think it's important to prepare for an emergency. How lovely you were able to camp with family! My eldest son and DIL are making their CRV into a camper van also and we plan to go on trips together.
Thank you these are great suggestions. I am thinking to use a coffee mate tub for those emergencies and use a biodegradable plastic and put the unscented cat litter thing. Same idea thank you! I will put that in my to do list today. 🙏🥰
This is by far the best conversion Ive seen before! I LOVE the “no build” types. I also love how simple this is. I like the idea of keeping the middle seats. I LOVE your bed build and the storage in the back. I just LOVE it all! Very well done 👍🏾
Love the way you explain all your gear and show it in a side pic without all the other distracting chatter and noise....I hope to do this someday soon to go see my family and so far your set-up fits me :) Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. This is perfect and simple set up no build. I am using my van daily ND to convert like this for weekend get away...is perfect...Thanks
Thanks for sharing your ideas, so happy for you Mai. May God bless you and your family so you can continue to enjoy wonderful trips and beautiful memories.
My son found a 1999 Sierra he is fixing up for me. It is very clean with 139,000 miles on it. He is driving it to me from WA to AZ when all the upgrades are done. I have a few things to get for it and will be on the road visiting friends. So glad I came across this video again. It is a good reminder to keep things simple. I am 72 and can hardly wait.
I'm so glad you are out there doing what you want. I'm hoping to be out on the road sometime in the spring next year. I'm retired now and selling my house and just what to travel out west. Take care and stay safe.
Wonderful video!! The way it's all organized, looks like you have plenty of space! For years I was tent camping. Didn't want anything huge like Rvs, just something simple, holds my basic needs n comfy place to sleep!
You can do it in your car! Its also cozy and warm. One thing i hate about tent camping is that i can’t seem to stay warm. And now I found a solution! Im happy! 🥰😀
I love this you are so well organised, and tidy. I am in the U.K. and tour Europe with my Go-Pod, I follow the same standards as you and have taken away several ideas from this video to impove on my set up - Thank-You.👍
I’ve been binge watching your videos, they are beautifully done and the music is so calming. You are extremely organized and clean….awesome! My favourite place is BC but you can’t beat the mountains in Alberta too ❤️ thank you for the amazing videos, safe travels 😁
@@LifewithMaiOfficial My daughter lived in BC for a while also lived 1 year in Banff and then she lived 1 year in Chestermere, Alberta with her hubby…he’s from Ireland and found the winter too much for him so they settled back in Ontario. Keep showing the beauty of Alberta, enjoy your day!
Wow! I love that, they were able to see most of Canada! I love Ontario too! Ahhhh so much to explore here in Canada! It gets me excited thinking about it. Thanks for your support please stay tuned for more! 🥰🙏
New subscriber here, it popped up n my suggestions when I looked for van no builds. The video was lovely, I loved the beautiful music too. I wish u would talk & appear on camera. I’m a senior so it’s hard to read the small type even with glasses on. At 4-11, u can sleep sideways in ur minivan. I’m 5-3 in my Dodge GC, I don’t fit sideways. Did u take out or can u store the 3rd row seats? I stow mine bc it’s a 2019, I don’t want to alter it or screw things in. I do plan a 3-5 month trip out west from NJ/USA between apartments so I need to bring more stuff, lol. I will have a storage for things I want to keep in case I get another apt but I just May by an RV & move around 1-2 months in each,place. I will watch ur earlier videos soon. Good luck to you in your journeys. Cheers, Mo in NJ
Hi Mo, thank you so much for watching my videos! I truly appreciate it despite discomfort due to me not talking or showing my face. I am new to this and im still too shy to keep showing my face. But i will try next time! I have the 3rd tow stowed underneath so there was really no alterations in my van except the addition of the bed and the cabinets. I was thinking about doing that too, to move in a town for 1 ti 2 months and explore the area then move again to another town. It really sounds fun! Have fun on your adventures and stay safe out there okay? Cheers! 🥰🙏
My husband was debating if he should get a Sienna or something else and decided to get the other one but quite similar to it. That being said, what you do to your family van can also be done to our van, and I'm forever grateful for this video and very happy for you and your lovely family! Salamat!
Thank you, when my family camps with me we usually set up a tent for the kids. Not sure if this answers your question, kindly clarify a bit so I can answer okay? Thank you dear for watching and have fun on your adventures! 🙏🤣
@@LifewithMaiOfficial yes, of course. I was referring to the way you set up all your logistics in the family van. Trust me, not everyone can or is willing to do that. *totally guilty here! 😅* Thank you so much, too. 🤗
@@lazvegaz I usually go on solo trips lately. My kids are not big fans of camping anymore so i go with my brothers family but most of the times im travelling alone. I will see if i can find the video where I dis a camp tour with my family last year.
WOW and thank you for sharing! You have planned well, and it shows! I wish I could be that neat and organized :) Enjoy, safe travels and thanks again! All the best to you and family! Cheers :)
Hermosa decoración y excelente idea de viajar con la familia y compartir hermosos momentos,gracias por mostrarnos y regalarnos el conocer esos bellos lugares👏🏼🙏👍🏽
I luv that U keep your van so neat & organized. 1 of the most efficient low cost no-build van. Great choice to leave the seats in. This would not work for a taller person, I do not think. Best wishes
So well done!! Totally agree, so much easier than setting up a tent. Love all your pillows and little touches. Those shelves have lots of storage. Lots of fun!!
Thank you, im glad you like it. But I am changing my set up now because its hard to move around inside it. Please stay tuned and let me know what you think about my new set up okay?
Hello Mai, I miss your videos... you have a very unique talent of making very interesting videos with really relaxing musics. Thank you for zhat you have done :) :) :)
Your videos are always so peaceful and encouraging Mai. I like the tidiness of your conversion, and your willingness to make this lifestyle in small doses by taking weekend outings when you can. Enjoy!
I love the simplicity yet functionality of this. This is exactly the type of video I want to see. Please make more. I'm like 5'8 so I can't sleep like this but I plan to do something super similar with my Dodge Journey. It's paid off so I'm going to use it for weekend getaways on the weekends when I want to travel to state parks to hike and take in scenery...or go to beaches without paying extremely high hotel prices while keeping safe from COVID. My baby is going to be my weekender :)
Just found your video. Really loved the simplicity of the set up and the functionality of every piece. Also, I really liked that you write down the info. Since I love to read it kept me interested. Too many UA-camrs talk so much in their videos that they lose the real purpose of it. And the music. It's soft, motivational and my kind of music. Great inspiration for when I do my own minivan in the future. And, Of course I subscribed! 🙏💕💕
Thank you for this quiet van tour with lovely relaxing music. I love how beautiful and organised your car is. It’s a great inspiration! I just came back from a longer camping trip with my Berlingo and will rethink my no -build build, I badly missed a lounging area and love yours.
I agree its always good to have an area where you could sit properly and do things. As I get old my legs cramp really easily now so this set up really works for me. Cheers to our adventures! 🥰🙏
I think it's awesome that you have created this haven for yourself so that you can camp in your van and enjoy Nature! You must have an excellent support system to be able to get such frequent breaks from your three children. I saw your home video and am so impressed. I am a mother of six now grown kids and have way too much stuff. Lots of it is theirs that they left with me. Lol. Now i am working on sorting things out and donating piles of stuff. I also want to fix up my Hyundai Santa Fe to travel and camp in.
I’ve just come across your channel and finished watching this episode. I would like to encourage you and say good work . “Making the most of what you have” and being able to go on adventures with the minimum and most practical essentials will truly inspire many . I am in the business of high end camping and overland equipment in the Philippines . We represent some very exclusive brands . Your video is an antithesis to our highly collateralized marketing philosophy and yet I love it . It just brings us back to the basic joy and love for car camping . Sharing your link to my friends and colleagues here in Manila. Cheers and keep posting your experiences .
I am so very ready to do this myself. I am retired and with my children living all over the USA I would love to be able to travel and see them more often. This would make it perfect.
Yes that is perfect!! At least you still have your own space even if you visit them. Have fun! 🥰🙏
Yes 🙌🏻 do it.
Praying for u Wanda🙏
Go for it, Wanda! :)
Me too! I'm actually starting an online business so I can work remotely and be a nomad.
Omg your videos are so beautiful and relaxing and informative without alot of talk and noise!!Thank you ❤
Its my pleasure im glad you like my style! 🥰🙏
Yes, I agree with everyone else..... Being clean & organized is the answer to success in a small living space. Thanks for sharing, and blessings to you as you travel!
Thank you Patty! 🥰🙏
Wow! Besides that you used every single space very well, everything is very nice and clean. Of course, this project works for people that we aren't tall, I'm 5.02 and I have to use the window area to place my pillow. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! 🤍
Love the pacing and tone you set. These videos are little treasures of film and story telling!
I truly appreciate you! Thank you! 🙏🥰
I'm so enjoying your calm manor and quiet strength. I'll see you down the road!
Thank you!😇
I truly enjoyed watching this video, such a perfect set up.

This is a really nice build. Gives me ideas for when I get a van. So simple, easy and well organized. Subscribed.
Thank you! I appreciate your support! 🥰🙏
I think this is one of the most impressive travel setups I've seen. It's also tidy and neat and everything fits exactly where you want it. No waste of space no wasted baggage. Very well done. Be safe on your voyage and have a good time !

Awesome build-out. You just proved you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to have a great van experience. Safe travels!!
Thank you! I agree, i realized i did not need a travel trailer! This is more than enough for me!
My first thought was that you have such an incredible sense of style. Very zen-like, or feng-shui, your work and planning is impeccable. Thanks for showing this :)
Awww thank you those words mean a lot! I appreciate the compliment! 🥰🙏
Love your van set up with the "individual rooms". I'm too tall so I will be doing my bed along the side of the van, it will also be a seating area and I am leaving up the smaller third row seat in my 2005 Dodge Caravan 40/60 split.

I need to be able to convert back to a van that can haul 4 to 5 people at a time. Love your tray idea and I'm definitely stealing that. I have adapted/built a small 4 drawer cabinet with a flip down area for my kitchen/storage. My husband (age 72) and I will be traveling on short trips for now, so we do not need to have as much gear/food, etc. I'm also planning to have a TV with a DVT player for his entertainment which will be on an adjustable arm.

I am in my SUV trying this for the first time. Trying to take a nap in the "At Home" 🙂 parking lot...
The temp is ok
I opened windows a few inches for air flow
Put the back seats down

I think i need a mattress ... have an extra twin one at home. This is too hard...i can not fall asleep ...or ...maybe i am not tired enough lol
I feel safe ...i have my bible beside me and pepper spray too

Your video's are always very relaxing to watch, thank you.
Glad you like them!
I’ve been binge watching your videos, they are beautifully done and the music is so calming. You are extremely organized and clean….awesome! My favourite place is BC but you can’t beat the mountains in Alberta too ❤️ thank you for the amazing videos, safe travels 😁
Thank you, yes I hope to travel to BC soon. For now I will explore the beauty of Alberta first! 🥰🙏
@@LifewithMaiOfficial My daughter lived in BC for a while also lived 1 year in Banff and then she lived 1 year in Chestermere, Alberta with her hubby…he’s from Ireland and found the winter too much for him so they settled back in Ontario.
Keep showing the beauty of Alberta, enjoy your day!
Wow! I love that, they were able to see most of Canada! I love Ontario too! Ahhhh so much to explore here in Canada! It gets me excited thinking about it.
Thanks for your support please stay tuned for more! 🥰🙏
I absolutely love your set up! Beautiful video!
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰🙏
@@LifewithMaiOfficial You're very welcome!
I love your set up Ms. Mai! Thank you for sharing because I was looking for ideas. Be blessed!
Thank you, Im glad you found the video helpful! 🥰🙏 Welcome to my channel!
New subscriber here, it popped up n my suggestions when I looked for van no builds. The video was lovely, I loved the beautiful music too. I wish u would talk & appear on camera. I’m a senior so it’s hard to read the small type even with glasses on.
At 4-11, u can sleep sideways in ur minivan. I’m 5-3 in my Dodge GC, I don’t fit sideways. Did u take out or can u store the 3rd row seats?
I stow mine bc it’s a 2019, I don’t want to alter it or screw things in. I do plan a 3-5 month trip out west from NJ/USA between apartments so I need to bring more stuff, lol. I will have a storage for things I want to keep in case I get another apt but I just May by an RV & move around 1-2 months in each,place.
I will watch ur earlier videos soon. Good luck to you in your journeys. Cheers, Mo in NJ
Hi Mo, thank you so much for watching my videos! I truly appreciate it despite discomfort due to me not talking or showing my face. I am new to this and im still too shy to keep showing my face. But i will try next time!
I have the 3rd tow stowed underneath so there was really no alterations in my van except the addition of the bed and the cabinets. I was thinking about doing that too, to move in a town for 1 ti 2 months and explore the area then move again to another town. It really sounds fun!
Have fun on your adventures and stay safe out there okay? Cheers! 🥰🙏
Love your system set up i am retire todo lets team on some trips
Sure!! Thank you! 🤍
Very nice! Love the toilet table cover up. Hope you have a wonderful adventure!
Thank you so much! 🥰🙏
Beautiful simplicity Mai, and so lovely family can join you!❤❤
Thank you! 🤗
My husband was debating if he should get a Sienna or something else and decided to get the other one but quite similar to it. That being said, what you do to your family van can also be done to our van, and I'm forever grateful for this video and very happy for you and your lovely family! Salamat!
Thank you, when my family camps with me we usually set up a tent for the kids. Not sure if this answers your question, kindly clarify a bit so I can answer okay? Thank you dear for watching and have fun on your adventures! 🙏🤣
@@LifewithMaiOfficial yes, of course. I was referring to the way you set up all your logistics in the family van. Trust me, not everyone can or is willing to do that. *totally guilty here! 😅* Thank you so much, too. 🤗
@@lazvegaz I usually go on solo trips lately. My kids are not big fans of camping anymore so i go with my brothers family but most of the times im travelling alone. I will see if i can find the video where I dis a camp tour with my family last year.
@@LifewithMaiOfficial Oh, wow... you superwoman!!!
So neat and tidy. Great lil camper. Live simple, simply LIVE! Much love from Texas 💜
I love that, Live simple, simply Live! 🥰🥰🥰
Thoughtfully filmed and edited. Love your audio choices. You make me want to go and see and do. This is possible!
Yes it is, start doing weekend adventures! Have fun! Thanks for watching! 🥰🙏
Wow grabe ka Ate you're living my dream life! I'm also a Filipina who's 4'10 and loves Jollibee :-)
Haha bida ang saya! Let’s go! Thanks dear for your support! 🥰🙏
WOW and thank you for sharing! You have planned well, and it shows! I wish I could be that neat and organized :) Enjoy, safe travels and thanks again! All the best to you and family! Cheers :)
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰🙏
I love how clean and simple this is. Very nice 👍🏽👏🏾 love your toilet hideaway. I have a log one that doubles as a stool. A very sweet setup.
Thank you! I love when things can be used for double purposes. 🥰🙏
Hermosa decoración y excelente idea de viajar con la familia y compartir hermosos momentos,gracias por mostrarnos y regalarnos el conocer esos bellos lugares👏🏼🙏👍🏽
Thank you!! 🥰🙏
I luv that U keep your van so neat & organized. 1 of the most efficient low cost no-build van. Great choice to leave the seats in. This would not work for a taller person, I do not think. Best wishes
Yes but I am making a video with a configuration that might work for taller people. Please stay tuned! 🥰🙏
CAN WE APPRECIATE THAT MAN THEIR DINNER LOOKS SO GOOD.
HOPE JOLLIBEE SEES THIS VIDEO!!
Awww thank you!🤍
Thank you very much, for the porta potty tutorial and I love your van so very much 😀 Stay Safe and Enjoy
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for watching! 🥰🙏
That was BEAUTIFUL, thanks for sharing it made me smile ☺
Awww thats good to know! Thank you for watching! 🥰🙏
So well done!! Totally agree, so much easier than setting up a tent. Love all your pillows and little touches. Those shelves have lots of storage. Lots of fun!!
Thank you, im glad you like it. But I am changing my set up now because its hard to move around inside it. Please stay tuned and let me know what you think about my new set up okay?
@@LifewithMaiOfficial Will do, can't wait to see.
Hello Mai, I miss your videos... you have a very unique talent of making very interesting videos with really relaxing musics. Thank you for zhat you have done :) :) :)
Thank you so much! 🥰🤍
Love your video!! So glad you decided to go for it and enjoying something you love!!💗🥰
I am glad to be able to do this too. When its the right time, everything just falls into place. Thank you for watching! 🥰🙏
FABULOUS walkthrough - sooo inspiring!
Thank you for sharing my dear!
Thank you! 🥰
Very impressive organization. Probably the best I've seen in a van. Love the music.
Thank you so much! Im glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰🙏
I just loved your video! It was calming and informative. I appreciate you showing us your set up.
Thank you! 🥰
That’s wonderful🤩👍🏼
“Celebrate the people who claps with you when you win”
🥰✌🏼
Thank you
Your videos are always so peaceful and encouraging Mai. I like the tidiness of your conversion, and your willingness to make this lifestyle in small doses by taking weekend outings when you can. Enjoy!
Thanks Ashley! I am loving it. 🥰🙏🌸
What a beautiful presentation-with the video, the music, and the “build.”
Thank you so much! 🥰🙏
What a great set up. You're so organized. Great job.
Thank you so much, I appreciate the compliment! 🥰🙏
Muito bom o vídeo. Ensina a cuidar da limpeza, manutenção da van
Thank you! I appreciate it!🤍
So cool! Love how you did this video. Just found you today. Yay!
Thank you!
I love the simplicity yet functionality of this. This is exactly the type of video I want to see. Please make more. I'm like 5'8 so I can't sleep like this but I plan to do something super similar with my Dodge Journey. It's paid off so I'm going to use it for weekend getaways on the weekends when I want to travel to state parks to hike and take in scenery...or go to beaches without paying extremely high hotel prices while keeping safe from COVID. My baby is going to be my weekender :)
I agree! All the best in your vanlife adventures! 🥰🙏🌸
so far your video is the one i like the most of all the videos of van life I have seeing. Thank You!!!
Thanks Ana! I appreciate it! 🥰🌸
Just found your video. Really loved the simplicity of the set up and the functionality of every piece. Also, I really liked that you write down the info. Since I love to read it kept me interested. Too many UA-camrs talk so much in their videos that they lose the real purpose of it. And the music. It's soft, motivational and my kind of music. Great inspiration for when I do my own minivan in the future. And, Of course I subscribed! 🙏💕💕
Thank you! I knew that there are people like me out there! We all belong to one tribe. Thanks for watching and for your support dear! 🥰🙏
Great!!! Good job, you inspired me to start in my Santa Fe!!! Let’s go!!
Let’s go!! So happy to hear that! Hey YOLO! 🥰😇💛
I am binge watching ! Discovered you this morning, what an inspiration, the simple life is the best life! Blessings to you dear lady ❤️
Thank you! 🥰
I really enjoyed your video. The van is so clean and cozy. 💞
Thanks my dear! 🥰🙏
Your independence and aesthetic is so inspiring … thank you for your awesome videos 🌟😊🙌🌟
Thank you for watching Carla! 🥰🙏
I love the color coordination and Simple Elegance, still carrying everything you need, without looking/feeling cluttered.
Very nice 👍👍.
Thank you so much! 🥰🙏
Thank you for this quiet van tour with lovely relaxing music. I love how beautiful and organised your car is. It’s a great inspiration!
I just came back from a longer camping trip with my Berlingo and will rethink my no -build build, I badly missed a lounging area and love yours.
I agree its always good to have an area where you could sit properly and do things. As I get old my legs cramp really easily now so this set up really works for me. Cheers to our adventures! 🥰🙏
I think it's awesome that you have created this haven for yourself so that you can camp in your van and enjoy Nature! You must have an excellent support system to be able to get such frequent breaks from your three children. I saw your home video and am so impressed. I am a mother of six now grown kids and have way too much stuff. Lots of it is theirs that they left with me. Lol. Now i am working on sorting things out and donating piles of stuff.
I also want to fix up my Hyundai Santa Fe to travel and camp in.
Thank you for your lovely comment , you can do it too! All the best dear! 🥰🙏
I’ve just come across your channel and finished watching this episode. I would like to encourage you and say good work . “Making the most of what you have” and being able to go on adventures with the minimum and most practical essentials will truly inspire many . I am in the business of high end camping and overland equipment in the Philippines . We represent some very exclusive brands . Your video is an antithesis to our highly collateralized marketing philosophy and yet I love it . It just brings us back to the basic joy and love for car camping . Sharing your link to my friends and colleagues here in Manila. Cheers and keep posting your experiences .
Wow! Thank you so much, i truly appreciate it! 🥰🙏
