Girl you are young, beautiful and got your whole life ahead of you. If you did the van life for a specific season and it's done now, go on and live your next season with gusto. I wish that I was in a position at this time to purchase your van (if it hasn't been sold already) and go out there and live the VanLife for a year.
Me too! Where do we find the price? In my opinion, you should use it as a business, a rental for weekenders, to experience the fun you've had. $60 to $100 per night.
My husband died a year ago last month. I felt I needed adventure to ease my mind and I played with the thought of vanlife years ago, even though I didn’t know an official name for it. I was led to your channel and fell in love. You have gotten me through a lot of tears and inspired me so much so that I believe I can do it. I’m definitely going to try it and my family supports my decision. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You’re like my niece now lol. Good luck in your next endeavors. I’ll be watching to see what next great thing you will do. Remember, with God all things are possible! 💪🏽❤️🙏🏽
I’ve been following your van life journey from the beginning and I could always tell this wouldn’t be a permanent thing for you. Thank you for showing others, especially black women, that van life is not one size fits all. Thank you for showing us your authentic self and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you ❤️
@@ThePuppetMaster33 I'm so tired of y'all always getting in our business. America is unlike most nations. Due to being a microcosm of different people, even American sub-groups have their own cultures. So white American problems won't be the same as Indian/Mexican/Black American problems. So yes BLACK women would like to learn from other BLACK women how to do certain things as a BLACK woman. Mind your business. Just like I told a white friend of mines, as a BLACK man I can't just go camping up in the Georgia mountains like him. My moves have to be more calculated and thought out. Smh.
I'm a lender and would be happy to help someone finance this amazing unit!!! We wish you well on your next chapter Antoinette. Your journey has sparked hope in so many of our lives! Best Blessings!!
thank you for sharing this with us. i am honestly forever changed by you RU-vid channel. i'll be a lifelong subscriber of yours, no matter what. I hope you know how inspirational, fun, and liberating it was to see you live your life in what is constantly being judged as an unconventional lifestyle. you showed how humbling, exciting, and liberating life can be just by being you. you are so damn entertaining, yet so wholesome and relaxing due to how honest and real you speak. You'll always be someone who i consider to be a huge inspiration in trynna live my life the best i can, despite my fears. thank you
Even inspired me so much through your solo travels. I’m a young black woman and my goal is to get back into an RV and travel solo. I’ve spent the last 10 years with my partner and we decided to go separate ways. Here’s a new beginning! Thank you so much for showing that it’s possible for a girl that looks like me to do anything I want! Solo or not. I’m excited to see what’s next!
Hey Antoinette, continue to be your authentic self! I enjoy your personality, your travel whether nationally or internationally and of course love your mommy dearest and Jasmine’s guest appearances. I so appreciate your confidence to share with us on such a public platform! Thank you and I’m here to support and continue to share in your future experiences 👏🏾💕🙌🏾
Although I will miss your van life videos I am excited for your new chapter. I follow you not only because of van life, but, because of all of the traveling you do in general, and because of your personality. You’re a friend in my head and you crack me up. Praying that you do, see, experience, and receive every good thing. Keep on inspiring us to indulge in the luxury of living free despite our fears💗
You have truly been an inspiration to my mother, aunt and myself and we are 57, 69 and 74 years old. We are selling our homes and everything that we don’t want or need and buying a class A to travel the USA, Mexico and Canada. I run my own travel agency and virtual customer support call center. We will be living in each state for 2 weeks to a month. We’ll be staying at different hotels and resorts as well to promote my travel business. Thank you so much for all of your videos and best of luck on your next adventure. I wish we could all fit into Zion and buy it from you but we need enough room for 3 comfortably.
Loved all your video! & I will continue to watch and support you. I am solo living out my RV and you definitely inspired me. I feel like you are far from “QUITTING” your just moving onward and upward to a different chapter, but QUIT…No you did the damn thing Queen! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to see what exciting things are next for you. Stay blessed 💜
Thank you so much for taking us along for the ride! It's been a privilege and so inspiring seeing you conquer your fears during thus Vanlife experiment ✨️ ❤️ 💖
Antoinette, I have enjoyed everyone of your videos. My Friday lunch breaks have been spent watching your videos. My husband wants this as a lifestyle for us. Watching you, a girlie girl such as myself, showed me I can do this in luxury and style. I’m not going anywhere. I will continue to watch your content because it’s meaningful. You did the darn thing!! Congratulations on your new chapter in life. I’m here for it. 🎉🎊🍾
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover - H. Jackson Brown Jr." It's been an amazing ride! Wishing you all the best that life has to offer! I'm excited to see your next adventures! Safe travels 🙏🏽 ❤️!!
Omg …. It’s like I found you at the perfect time… I’m only four videos into your life and I’m hooked!! I don’t care what you do next…. please bring us along! You add to my day perfectly ♥️ I love the van life (partially because I know I could never do it) so I often will watch van tour videos.. which helped me find you… I’ve rarely followed .. Chrome only. But girl….. I’m so here cheering you on!
Can't wait to see what's next for you! It seems like now that the pandemic is pretty much over, a lot of van lifers are moving on to new adventures. 🥰❤
Lol not fake followers; yes you are very entertaining, funny and fab. It’s your life and channel do what’s best for you. Life is a journey it never stays the same. I would love to purchase your van if I had the money. Not sure if you sold it yet. But I’m sure it will get a great home.
This is my first time seeing you/video & I gotta say ,I think you are a breath of fresh air. I like that you are your own person. I find that refreshing. I am 62 disabled widow & on SSDI & I recently lost my best friend Precious a 13 year old Chihuahua. Anyways, I like your honesty. I was living in Mesa Arizona for 4 years after losing my mom & my husband,he passed from Cancer & so did my dog. this past June 30 I had to make a move to Loch Sheldrake New York then my personal dog passed from Cancer on August 9. I still have her brother he was my husband's dog. I guess what I'm getting at is that seeing this video, you have reminded me that I am very much alive & I need to live my life no matter has happened or whom has tried to tell me otherwise I need to be Me & that's what matters most. So I wanted you to know how much this video means me. Even though you are leaving Van life that I will still be a subscriber of yours. & Thank You as you have touched my heart at a time that I so desperately needed someone or something as I am devastated over the loss of my beloved dog Precious on top of several bad events over the past approximate 5 years I know you are definitely a positive self worth woman !
You are going thru some heartaches, losses, but you are still here and have been able to adjust and keep moving. These videos also inspire me to keep moving forward
This is wonderful. It’s a terrible feeling holding on to something when it’s season has past. It’s how passions turn into burdens. I pray your next adventure is a success 😊
Been with you and ZIion from the beginning. You're a awesome inspiration. So I look forward to your next adventure. Be blessed🙏🏽, and keep doing what u do anyway!
I'm not sure when I stumbled on your channel, but it was when I had been thinking about packing up my son and everything to start van life. There wasn't a lot of US out there that I could find that turely captured what van life is like. Thank you for sharing with us your journey and how Van life doesn't have to mean being in a van 24/7. Your channel was fun, and educational and I enjoyed meeting your mom and seeing your awesome friendship with Jaz. I look forward to following you through your new adventure and will continue to tune in!
Congrats on staying true to yourself and moving forward. I look forward to seeing what you are up to next. Please know that you have truly inspired soo many. I still hope to make the move to van life for a few years. So thank you for always sharing everything. Safe travels and keep inspiring and thinking outside the box.
I am sorry to see this chapter come to an end, but I know the next will be just as awesome!! If I could, I would be the 1st in line to buy your van. I definitely plan on purchasing one in the next couple years. My goal is to travel, but not live in one full time. Your channel has inspired me to make it my own experience and I have really enjoyed it.
You did that. I have enjoyed your Lux nomad journey ,while you did it anyway and your way. Got me through the pandemic and my misfortune. God bless you with much love, success , safe international travels and made He keep and bless your family and friends ❤️🙏
Looking forward to your next adventure. I knew this life wasn't really YOU after the 1sr few van videos. I am glad you can admit it, I am glad you showed ALL of your van life adventures. Onwards and upwards.
Your videos are such a vibe! You do you, your channel has always been about a lifestyle of adventure, the “how” is up for grabs, follow your heart. Love how sweet you were to your neighbors and them to you, good energy is reciprocated. Looking forward to seeing where you go from here girl, much love
I’ll continue to follow. I live vicariously through my daughter who also travels and your travels as I care for Mother. Keep living what ever life YOU choose.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Young lady you've done what many like myself (age 63) would have killed for a chance like this. After watching you, I'd sometimes would take my car, pack up some snacks and just ride listening to my favorite tunes. Trust me that's adventures for me. I hope you have many adventures in life. You will never want to say those regretful words," I wish I could have". Job well done my baby. I look forward to exploring more experiences with you. God bless.
Thank you Antoinette for sharing your experience with being in the Van Life community. I have honestly wanted to give this a try. Your videos have provided so much information on what to expect as you have traveled across the US 🇺🇸and Mexico 🇲🇽. Continue with doing you and enjoy life.
Antoinette - though I will miss seeing you live the VanLife- I enjoy even more just coming along & seeing you travel & experience life ! It has been such a pleasure & inspiration to see a fellow African American Sista living this life ! I wish & pray nothing but God’s best for your future! 🙏🏾😊🥰🤗
It’s funny that I just discovered your channel because of this video and you are gaining a subscriber even though you are stopping your van life travels. You have a wonderful energy and I love your production style. Safe travels and best of luck!
I absolutely love your fearless passion to live life on your terms. I'm interested in beginning van life but as a 60 yr old the new 45..I'm hesitant. You give me ideas to try soo van shopping I'll go.. Live life love you!
Go forward in your journey. You know what you want and need to be fulfilled. There are so many people suffering from a negative outlook that need to try to bring down those who live for the positive. I wish you good luck and fortune on this new path on your journey. Safe travels!💫✨️💫
Hi Antionette your channel came up on my feed today. I’ve said this numerous times. Don’t ever say you’re QUITTING. Nomad life (especially full time) was never intended to be FOREVER! Especially at your age. Girl, I pray you have your whole life ahead of you to enjoy to the fullest. Do what works for YOU. Stay safe always.
Hi Antoinette as a 53yr old woman who has lived a somewhat grounded life (married,raised 2 kids nice vacation here and there) . Often wondered what’s on the other side of the life I’ve lived.I’ve enjoyed every minute living vicariously through you and a few other free spirited ytubers. Continue to allow life to move you to your happy place…I will follow. Wishing nothing but the very best on “our” new journey:-)❤️
The fist video I’ve come across. I’ve never seen such a genuine person on this platform. I feel like I could listen to you speak for hours. Hopefully you’ll continue to create content. You seem to be a natural. ❤️
Just found your channel! Selfishly, I hate it is the end of this season in your life but am genuinely happy for you that you are starting a new chapter in life! NOLA is an amazing option, JS! You seem cool as Hell! Take care
Life subscriber! I love you and your personality that's why I became your follower love to see you and your family and your adventures. Here for you and all your new adventures!
Well I'm excited for your next chapter and I will be joining you on one of your international excursions!! I was set to start traveling and then the panorama happened 🙄 You have inspired me and I'm happy that you're choosing what's best for YOUR life!!!! Love ya girl! 💜💜
I’m not surprised at all that you will be doing global content. I live on a houseboat and keep stalling on taking the leap to sharing alternative lifestyles. As a POC and a retired educator I know how limited many of our children see themselves and I want them to know that any dream can be obtained. Also want to mention you look fabulous. You always did but the weight loss since your videos in Mexico a year or so ago show a difference. Can’t wait to see your new adventures.
Thank you for sharing your insights. Going through transition times can be challenging, especially when it’s been such a big part of you. I’ve been dealing with a big change and appreciated your words of wisdom and encouragement. Hoping Zion finds just the right match and doors open for you in your next chapters!
Think you meant to say that you go in at dusk, lol. Dawn is when the sun breaks at the top of the horizon or sunrise. Anyway we know that plans change and van life isn’t something that most people want to do forever. It’s just great that you made lemonade out of lemons by deciding to go on a very long road trip. Thank you for taking us along so that we could live vicariously through you.🙃🙃
Such a lovely video in content and editing. I love this for you! And very excited for you for your new chapter Thanks for sharing your journey. It’s been very inspiring.
So sorry to see you go but I'm happy that you are going to do what makes you happy. Because of you, you got me into traveling in a van although I have not yet traveled in my converted truck. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
Really enjoyed your videos especially when you visit your mom she’s a lot of laughs …. But really gonna miss you 😢 stay safe and stay bless…GOD BLESS YOU… thank you for sharing van life with us
Seasons change, people change… 🎶🎶. I bet your mama would tear that song up. Anywho, you do you. Do what makes you happy. God bless. I can definitely see you visiting all 125 countries.
Aw sad to hear you have dropped from van life as I just found your story - but what a great travel experience you have had. We want to do some retirement travel, so love watching you youngsters and getting some ideas :)
Hey Antoinette Yvonne!!! The VanLife community is surely going to miss you. I guess I came back just in time for your departure from the culture. You gotta do what makes you happy though. 💯 Continue to stay SAFE out there and Thank you for sharing. 😎
I’m not going anywhere. I watched bc of your personality & adventure-filled life. Cheers to more adventuress ahead, & YES, I will be tuning in. Here’s to you. 🍾🥂
Wishing you well on your new journey, Love. Like you said, this is YOUR journey, and only you get to decide what that looks like. I'm definitely a fan no matter what, because you are quite entertaining lol❤️
Hey girl... You have done this for 2 years now.? I admire the drive you have doing this and you can't just put the. Bakes on and stop now. There is still so much out there and I know you haven't seen it all. There is a entire world out there with your name all over it . You have the awesome attitude and still seem like you enjoy being a explorer. Don't say good bye to the relaxing easy laid back lifestyle of being mobile.
I am truly going to miss your van life videos. I wish you all the best in all that you do. Looking forward to your international travel videos. 😀 Godspeed and God bless you. 🙌🏾
Im not surprised!! You have been saying since day 1 of van life, it wouldn't be a forver thing. Van life brought me here but Antoinette kept me here, I aint goin anywhere girl let's goooo!! 💜💜💜
If I had the money. I would would be flying there right now to pick up Zion. It’s been real. Thank you for always taking me with you. Blessings on your new journey.
Nooooooo😫😫😫 We finally got our van. So far, we’ve installed 2 maxx air fans and 4 windows. Was hoping to meet up with the Mexico convoy one day. But I get girl…do you boo and live life. I’m here for it!!!
It's your life and I'm in for the ride as long as you are filming. Thank you for bringing us along on this journey with you. Wishing you all good things and I'll be watching what's next. Blessings to you.
Just stumbled across your channel and so enjoyed your vlog, you have a comic air to you😀 I’m looking forward to watching your past videos and following you on your future adventures/endeavours😀 Good luck and Wishing you every success😀
Congratulations! Oh your journey, I am glad I got to experience it with you! I wish I could step out on faith like that and just live and experience the world well at least part of it. Thank you
@@AntoinetteYvonne aww.. thank you but not having the kids in school maybe when they are grown and out and then I can go as I please I wouldn’t mine doing it!
Sis I’ve been following your journey for a while now…I can’t wait to see your new adventures! 😎 But *Sidenote* BODY ODDY ODDY ODDY🥰…share that transformation with us or did I miss it?! Much love from a fellow FA 💞

Girrrlllll....you did do THAT! go head Antoinette Yvonne. Love you girl. My sister passed in Oct. 2021 and her name is Antoinette "aka" Toni. See you on Instagram.
Guuurrrlllll! I remember your first Vanlife Video and I have been hooked from day one!!! As usual, you had me cracking up through this whole video!! The foolishness and the not-so-subtle shade are life!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I so feel you on not giving any real energy to naysayers and haters......that's all I'll say about that!! I am so looking forward to the next chapter with you online! Maybe one day soon with the moves that I'm making, I will be able to partake in your travel business adventures overseas!!! I love you dearly Antoinette!!! Just make sure to keep Mom engaged in your worldly travels! I don't know what I would do if I didn't hear. "Hello out there in TV land" on occasion or hear her wonderful voice singing to the heavens!! I am giddy in anticipation of your travel videos!! Leggo!!!!
Thank you for sharing your vanlife experience with us, you gave me a lot of information for when I do enter into the vanlife community in 2 or 3 years. Good luck, safe travels, & enjoy every destination you travel too, I'll be watching😊
I dream to do what you’ve been doing with baby Zion, not able to afford a van is what holds my dream back, I’m 63 now but still dream one day I will have my own van. Good luck on what the next chapter brings.
Your channel was one of the 1st Vanlifers I watched. You have inspired me so much. I loved watching all of your videos especially with your mom. It reminds me of my daughters and me when we are together having fun. I will continue to follow your channel and see where you take us along with you on your next journey in life. I wish you all the best❤️
I’m a Antoinette Yvonne lifer, your spirit is absolutely beautiful and your energy is contagious-I’m excited about what God has for you…. Follow your purpose and all will work !!! Thank you for allowing us on your 2 year journey with Zion-it’s been a pure joy 🥲 PS I must confess we love some Danette OMG love mother-daughter unity -❤️❤️❤️and Jazz love her “we got this” attitude is she by chance a IT Girl?
As I told another RU-vidr, I wouldn't care if you are rollerskating on water, I am watching! Looking forward to being on the journey with you Sister and being entertained.
