VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Nicole is RAD solo female traveler who with the help of her Dad converted a Nissan 3500 NV van into her tiny home on wheels! Such an inspiring story of how she left the the 9-5 grind and all the "stuff" behind, and really learned to love herself while living on the road. Although it took her three years to build out, Nicole's home is equipped with tons of storage, a toilet and multiple extra seating areas. Being a graphic artist the design aesthetic is gorgeous, and the job also makes working remote possible. Such a fun tour and amazing woman, thanks for out Nicole!

Ok, so I know this is way off topic BUT what you said from 3:32-4:00 resonated with me.. but for a different reason. I did the same thing when I knew I wanted to leave an abusive relationship back in '98. I saved money and started to buy things for my new place, like a shower curtain and bath towels. Doing that... getting the first steps in, made me follow through with the plan. So yea, I can understand what you mean about buying your cabinet handles 3yrs earlier. You took the first step to make your goal come true. 😍 So congrats

@nicolebutterfield4797 3 роки тому

I love that. I'm proud of you for taking those steps to leave your abusive relationship and do what was best for you. It's crazy how those "little things" help you make the big moves. Good for you, good for us!

@amywalker7515 3 роки тому

I've been acquiring components for a RV build for years but still haven't gone the last step and gotten the vehicle yet. So tempted to purchase a mini-circular saw to make the cabinets and bed supports. I'm a very young 73 and a lifelong do-it-yourselfer. I love planning and making things myself, but dislike marathon driving and climactic extremes. Guess I could take 3 months to cross the country or put the thing on a boat for somewhere overseas. I love how this young lady examined her life and changed things to suit her own value system.

Also, you're inspiring to me being able to work from your van as a graphic designer and artist! I'm a non-traditional (older) student in school for graphic design and art right now, and it's so amazing you've found a way to do work you love while doing the traveling you love as well. If I ever get done with school, and I'm not too old, I hope to do what you're doing someday, too! Thanks for sharing your van and all the creative ideas you have for making it work!

Thanks for the sympathy L Nord, you know how crazy that situation was since you live in SLC. It was really crazy to me having my family broadcasted so publically like that and seeing KSL be able to attend the funeral when I wasn't able to because of covid. (it was so new last April we didn't dare risk it, I watched from UKposts like many others did) So wild. Yay, happy to hear you're also in the design world. DO IT. I didn't realize this was the life I was setting up for myself as a student, but graphic design has opened the door to so many opportunities for me. I hope you enjoy the career as much as I have! :)

@lhall334 3 роки тому

@@nicolebutterfield4797 I hope your family is healing and recovering from the terrible loss, although it is slow and takes time...especially after such a terrible, senseless loss. It's so sad you weren't able to attend the funeral, but I'm glad you were able to watch it online...the age of technology is such a blessing! My 78 yr old mom died in March, and my 85 yr old dad got pneumonia a month later and was in the hospital for nine days. I had the foresight to have him grab his ipad and charger, and his cell phone and charger, as I was taking him to the emergency room. We didn't know at the time he would be admitted or have such a long stay, but we are so grateful he had it so we could be with him online. So I'm really grateful for technology! I think it saved it his life, being able to be with us that way, since we couldn't be there in person. I also love the technology in graphic design studying...I hope I'm able to finish my degree. I'm not sure who will hire me as someone who is older, but at least I will have learned a lot about doing something I love! I'm so happy to hear you're successful at it...I hope things continue to go really well for you! --Lisa
