“find a spot that I won’t be bothered OR be a bother” love that

it’s refreshing to see an rv video that’s not a family of 9 living in one van with bookshelves for kids bedrooms, love how she’s embracing her independence

Smart to get ready before you go to your spot. Less chance of harassment if you just pull in and go to sleep

I can't imagine having to find a spot to park every night to be able to sleep. I feel really grateful for having a home

“I don’t want to be bothered, or be a bother.” I love this.

"The van always looks like a mess at the end of the day." Your van is cleaner than my BATHTUB

That's actually a really well designed van

I love that the doggie has their space below, but always wants to stay on top and cuddle

This is the only van-life creator I’ve seen that doesn’t have 12 kids crammed into shelves like sardines, just her, her kitten, and her dog. This is cool

Glad you have a dog, great security and companion ♡

If you have out of state plates, most truck stops will let you be there for up to eight hours to sleep. In some states, it is law.

“Where I won’t be bothered or be a bother” love this because I’ve seen people park their mobile homes in the most random places and have no regard for anyone else

I lived in a self built campervan for 4 years with my husband. It was a great experience, and helped us save some money, however there were a lot of difficult times too…can totally relate to how hard it is to find a suitable, free parking spot in the city

I love how people can live comfortably in a van, it is just so cool

This honestly looks like one of the most comfortable moble home vans I've seen. She can stand up and its pretty roomy.

Your independence is admirable. You're an art-sy person. Whether a person is in a house, apt or van we'll ask, " What are we doing with my life" Self awarenesses is good! Your videos are inspiring for us because you're not alone. Keep the faith! Stay safe and be well!

I love that the dog obviously loves you and also is just totally chill with this "yep this is life I am dog I love my human I am dog"

"What am I doing with my life?" you're doing pretty much everything correctly

I've been living in a motorhome since 2009. My evening routine isn't as involved as this. Places to stay could be church parking lots. If you ask to stay one night they probably won't mind. Or industral areas that are deserted at night. Or picnic areas off a side road to a main road (less traffic). Always keep your car keys in the same spot on a hook so if you need them to get away you don't need to fumble through your clothes pockets. Park in such a way that you don't need to back out but can just drive off.

i would be so scared to sleep in the middle of somewhere all alone but i admire people like that

My wife and I just bought a bus to convert to an RV. We are selling everything and hitting the road. I will be fully retired by next year when I turn 50. Let the adventure begin.

Love the relationship between you and your 🐶 puppy. So sweet and authentic.

I'm glad you have a dog for companion, and for safety at night, be safe.

She still makes her van look more aesthetic and neat than my own room 💀

Where I won't be bothered or be a bother. Great empathy. Love you for that

Living in a van seems like a freeing experience, I admire your independence and creativity. Good luck on your journey!

The little dog area under your bed! That's so smart and sweet! What a loved doggy.

"do anything I need to do before I go to sleep" *gives dog a lil kiss* Seems about right, can't forget that.

Can we hear more on what it’s like at night? Finding parking, how you determine safe areas, have you ever been woken up by someone or something nearby?

I sure enjoy your posts! I love it that you’re free and independent and love the way you live. That’s admirable.

I LOVE your Van!! This looks so cozy and looks like when you are in it you feel at home. Its so adorable!

The hard part, finding a place to sleep every night. No one explains that.

why is her bed more cozy then my whole house

Your edits are on point.

Thank you for the honest perspective. Stay safe. Hope you accomplish your goals

I never really thought about it, but I love how dogs can just exist with you where ever you are. They can just chill

That looks like the coziest bed space.

Your living the high life free on the road, I’d love that ❤

Looks so nice and quiet! RVs are my literal favorite thing!!!!

This almost looks like heaven to me. The older I get, the more I'm realising: it's not about having a big space. It's just about having your OWN space! 😊

This actually looks like a nice chill way to live.

Love it! It’s a beautiful van. Love the sunlight above the bed. And LED lights on the floor. ❤ and the dogs space. Lovely space!

This is the first video that actually makes me want to move into a van

Finally, an RV video where a family of 17 doesn't put their children in their docking stations while they have a full bed.

There really is nothing like driving alone at night to make yourself question your entire existence and all your life choices

Your dedication is inspiring.

I love your channel, and the cat and the dog are super cute, I think they will make great friends and keep each other company

Only RV content creator I accept. Just a girl chilling with her dog, way better than a family of 8 living in the same amount of space she is…

"Where I won't be bothered or be a bother." Damn. I'm glad to hear lines like this cause some people actually have the nerve to be a bother yet demand to not be bothered. Now *that's* being a sensible grown-up.

It’s such a neat space and is properly designed to suit your needs. Cute cabinets, a nice bed and you can ACTUALLY move around. I like it

The fit and finish is beautiful! Little Japanese apartment on wheels

Girls van lookin better then my whole house- 💀 Edit: not gonna be that person but MOM IM- jk, I’m not that person.

i admire you so much for being realistic, down to earth, and comfortable with being alone. i’ve always envied others for having so many people around them and looked at myself as an outcast in that sense, but people like you make me realize we are just as strong and valuable as the next person is

Your van looks so nice! Incredible job with it!

Doggo looked SO ready for bed time 😊

This is probably the most well designed van I’ve seen! I love the curtain separating the driving part from the living space, the sky light with the pull shade. Feels really spacious and multifunctional

When she said “I get ready to go to my sleeping spot” I thought it was just a long-winded way of saying “bed”. I get it now.

Absolutely love this lifestyle. Good for you!

Your humor is top-notch.

“Exist without being hassled” Every girl understood.

My toxic trait is thinking that I would be able to live this way

I think you have it pretty good ! You van is real nice! It's very cozy . I wish you every blessing God bless you!

This is so relatable, I love it.

"What am I doing w my life" 😂 I dont live in a van and still ask myself this 😂 You got this boo! ❤

“Or be a bother” more van people need to start thinking this way.

What a beautiful van you have ❤

this is why i want one of these. i love boogie boarding and i could just stay up at the beach

Your nightly routine sent me back 40 years when my husband and I moved into a 35' converted school bus. We lived in it for several years with 3 large dogs (2 of them half-coyotes), traveled everywhere and loved it. Our nigh time routine was almost identical to yours: we did everything we, and the dogs, had to do prior to going to sleep. My husband or I would then drive to a spot (we had several selected in an area of San Diego), park, slide curtains "mid ship" and go to bed. We left front windows without curtains so that it would not be so obvious we were sleeping there. The dogs were super quiet all night, as we'd trained them to be - they were the best part of our lives, wonderful companions and friends. It was the best 8 years of our lives! So glad you are doing this and making it work. Keep enjoying it!

This is the best van-life channel because you don’t have 6 kids with a shelf each or something, it’s just you and your dog travelling around. I also like the little dog space in the bottom💀

That dog has been in my life for 15 seconds and I would die for him

Nice insights, on both the easy and the harder parts of a van life.

I love that cabinet that pops up out of the countertop.

Your life actually seems quite simply good, you don't have like a massive home or anything, but you have the most sick rv and have a chill perfect life, and you dog is freaking cute

I would love to be like you! That is so brave to take the risk. You are amazing!!!

this looks super cosy!!

It seems to me that you know what you’re doing with your life. Love your dog too.

Ah when you have a pet your never alone, a bond with an animal is like no other

"i took my toilet out" that's so iconic

I love that if your just bored at a party you can just leave and sleep in your house van i love every bit of it i just wish it was bigger like imagine the van had a 2nd floor??

I know a lady who used to live in a transit with three dogs. I was absolutely amazed when I saw it- she had a proper bed, chair, and everything had its proper place and she kept it spotless! We lived on the costa del so so she used bars for food and toilets and showered on the beach ten minutes away or at friends places. She eventually got a lovey big house with her job, but kept the van- I was always slightly envious of her lifestyle.

One advise: if your internal door handles, in the front seats, form a loop creating a hole, take a long metal chain and run it between the two then secure the two ends together with a lock, but keep the key in the lock for a quick release, just in case. Make sure the chain is in tension by not leaving any slack. By doing so, if someone picks one of the doors locks while you are sleeping, he won't be able to swing open the door because the chain, anchored through the other door's handle, will hold it in place. The same would apply for the opposite door. It's an added layer of security, stay safe. PS: you can buy a chain at any hardware store, they are not very expensive.

Love your dog. Be safe 🙏🏾 ❤️

You’re amazing ❤ wish you all the hapiness

not her van being more homey and aesthetic than my room 💀

I really love how independent you are. Seeing your videos is the inspiration for many people that have solo lifestyles.

Now this is living your best life!!

You are a ROCK STAR ❤❤

Little “parked on a slope” fix: Mount a small water level to the wall. Can be tiny. Can be cute. Very useful.

“Anything I need to do” *tucks in dog* Girl has her priorities straight ❤

I HAVE TO TRY DOING A VAN HOUSE IN THE SIMS 4 WITH THE TINY LIVING PACK OMG YOUR VAN IS A INSPIRATION, IM SUBBING!

Sometimes when I see people with this type of lifestyle I think “Wow that would be fun! For a week.”

I'm a truck driver and I hated sleep in truck stops and it ruined my sleeping for life. I'm so proud of you that you don't have the worries or concerns I did. Stay safe out there.❤❤❤

You should install hidden cameras outside of your van. Stay safe and blessed.

Living in a van looks so comforting

this actually looks cozy and I would try to live like this for a day

TBH I love that you do this "anywhere I can exist without being hassled"

gosh I wish this was an option 40 years ago. I knew one guy who lived in a van during the week while we were in college. He went home to the suburbs on weekends. Everyone thought he was a weirdo. I was jealous. It sounded so much better than living in residence or with a bunch of noisy roomates.

Nice van! You have everything! .. shower, toilet, kitchen, bed. .. love it!😊

this is so cool.. living alone w your companion on the road..as an introverted empath i would absolutely love that life

As a trucker I resonated with a specific part of this video 😂
