Full Tour of my Kia Soul, Solo Female Living FT in car. 

Hello Beautiful Hearts! Thank you so much for watching. This video is almost 4 years old and I have lived in my van for 3 of those. I appreciate all the comments. You can still comment with questions. Stay Blessed! 😁🙏🏼💜

I also have a Kia Soul, and I can barely afford rent anymore so I was looking into “van life” as an alternative, but found even that might be out of my price range. So on a whim I searched for “living in a kia soul” and found this. It gives me so much hope! I didn’t think I’d be able to turn my Kia Soul into a home. But maybe I can! Thank you! I love your set up!

I would get claustrophobic living with that much stuff, but it's understandable why you have it all.

You've got so much stuff, but I can see it's organized for you. I love all the colors!

I like your lil dance... You got soul ❤ hope to meet you f2f when I start to travel fulltime. Love your life.

Thank you for sharing. I have a 2018 Kia Soul. You really can pack a lot of things in your car. That’s amazing.

So glad I don’t have to move any of that stuff out of my way anymore to make a smoothie! Goodness gracious that was a lot of work for breakfast! Hindsight! 🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼💜🙏🏼😁

You’re welcome, I have been really inspired by yours and others on here, thanks so much for sharing, it’s nice to know there is a different way to live and get off the rat trap! Xx

Love it! I'm working on making my little Soul Train into a mini camper. You've given me some great ideas. Thank you so much! Enjoy, stay safe and stay brave! 💜✌

Hey everyone, there is a more recent tour and interview on Travis Travels if anyone is interested in a shorter more recent tour! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6__I0aNMMh8.html

I have a kia soul. I might be homeless after probate court is done. Jobless atm too. So these videos will help me figure out how to make a livable setup if worse comes to worse. Ty for sharing yours.

Such a good set up and well organized. You've made yourself such a nice home. Cheers to you!

I think the bulk section at Winco has soymilk powder and some health food stores may carry it!

Hi Mindy, I just saw Bob’s 2 videos today & came here to subscribe. I read some comments. To one you said you get into your bed from the front seat. I have to see that so I hope it’s in one of your videos. I also read that you are considering going larger with a minivan. Are you about to do that? I live in my new to me DGC van stealthily in urban NJ but keep a storage unit close by to trade out clothes, books, etc. However I hope to leave NJ for good & travel for a while by the end of the year. I’m trying to reduce 40+ years of living by donating most things & keeping the loved things in storage. I look forward to seeing your videos. Cheers, Mo in NJ.

Cut your funnel spout off. Cut hole same size as drink container. You'll still be able to funnel everything into bottle without having to mess with it

Your smoothie will be so much better when you have cold ingredients. My fave: 1/2 organic green apple, 3 stalks of organic celery, 1 organic carrot, 1 scoop of protein, fill to top with fresh oj or tangerine juice. I blend it in my Magic Mini NutriBullet (200 w used with a 300w inverter or the car started). It takes 30 secs. to blend. If you want more particulars, shoot me an email.🌿

Have you considered a wide-mouth bottle for your smoothie? Great video!

Ohhhhh Lady Bug! Hahahahahahaaaa!!! So funny, love the little animations. Those are a nice addition. Thank for the shoot out hun. I posted a new vid on Patreon 😜

God Blessings on you you are an inspiration to others. I have a Kia Soul 2020 Xline. I just subscribed to your channel. Sending my Angels to watch over you. God Bless

Thank you for sharing your journey. Keep spreading your positive energy and vibes. Good luck with your adventures 🙏🏽

I have a Kia Soul 2013. They are awesome cars. Easy to work on and, comfortable, roomie, and durable. Keep safe.

Hi Mindy, I've been wondering about food being kept in a car. Even in warm weather does your food stay good, do you rotate it often, looks like you have a reflective under the lid of your container in the front seat? It's inspiring to see how you store food without a cooler/fridge!

bahahahahahaha How many times did I whack the camera on something!?!? 🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼

YAY I HAVE A SOUL TOO!! Thank you so much for making this video

Ooo! I’d like to know your gym/ showering routine on the road. Maybe a food diary too. 💕💕

Thankyou so much I have the same soul kia I don't live in it but I do want to no how to set it up if I wanted to live in it after my husband pass away or something I like your setup and girl I love my pillows to 😁😁😁and my books

I have a 2018 Kia Soul electric. Pretty rare model. You can leave an EV on all night to run heat or air conditioning,, listen to Safelight radio, etc. It would be a great car to camp in. Love the Soul.

Very organized..❤

Do you have a platform build in the back? How do you accommodate the uneven surface? Thanks for any tips.

Really love your video. It shows at 6:20 what people miss out on sometimes living a simple car life :) Have you tried Inner Engineering program ? It helps with lag and travel, as well would be a nice meditation practice to help :) Have a good day

Hi Divine Mojo, I am wondering if this living arrangement is because of choice or out of necessity, I just find it incredible at the amount of people these days living in a van, car or RVs

What was the first pouch of stuff you put in the bottle? Didn't hear u say. Thanks and God bless.

Just curious, how tall are you and how well to you fit in your sleeping space? I own a 2019 Soul I love my car and I have napped in the driver's seat before very comfortable.

Magic salt 🧂? Nice setup 👌

Just found this video for the first time and your channel and wondered why are you living in your car? I have a minivan and have going on trips and slept in that setting it up like a camper. It is a lot of fun and a great feeling of freedom🌸

My suggestion to your funnel is just cut a ordinary water bottle off. It will fin inside your daily bottle. And dry ing will flow better. Love your videos.

swansonvitamins.com also sells the soy milk powder although it seems to be sold out at the moment.

Im getting ready too preparing for my new adventure no more rental. saves me 800.00 a month .

Love everything about this... except the soy! Did you know that soy blocks our body's ability to absorb magnesium? And a few other minerals too. I'd suggest a hemp protein powder instead. Safe travels to you! Love your set-up!

How did you make your mermaid tote or where did you get it?

When you are ready,, think like a back packer, you can lose 50% of clothes, towels & blankets,, which means your storage needs will shrink to.. but overall you're doing great.

Cut the nozzle of the funnel shorter and it will flow better, milled flan and China also runs and mixes much better. Stay safe.

I have a 2019 Soul Plus. I bought her for road trippin. I love your set up! Glad I came upon your channel!❤

God bless you

🙋‍♀️ ......great rig....... nice setup........ thx for sharing 💜 ........ "Just one life will soon be past........ Only what's done for Christ will last. " ✝

I have a Kia Soul and I cut a piece of foam to sleep on and go camp first. I’m just scared for some reason.

Don't use plastic bottles. It's not healthy. Use glass or something else . Tc

Am subscribing to your channel.. I want to start my own channel as well.. I believe if i help others THE MOST HIGH will help me also. I wish u the best cuz these r really tuff times.

If you have a cooler how long can food stay cool in the car? Thanks

I'm taking the leap April 1 of this year, and am thinking like a backpacker, as I will be part time backpacking and part time living in my car for 6 months. I have a Chevy Tracker.

Hi, I enjoyed your video! I have a car similar to yours; a hyundai kona. I would love to try this nomad life! What city are you in now making this video?

Where do you sleep..in the car...where do you park 🤔

Wow, that's interesting. I personally don't think I could live in my vehicle where I live. It would be way too cold in the winter months. I detest the cold. Since it's warm where you live that would be be great. Warm all year round! Why did you decide to to this?

I'd remove the seats (except driver of course) and build an even platform (via 3/8" ply with 2 X 2 supports). I'd need an ice chest with a flat top (a brand that is tall with a small footprint). That would be for starters. Need a power supply to run that fan, laptop, charger for phone, LED light or two (you don't wanna use the vehicle battery). Charge it off the vehicle when its running. yeah stuff like that.

I'm setting up my Kia now getting ready to live in it for 6 months

Love it. I am thinking of buying a Kia Soul. Finding so many cool people that own Souls!

Me too I live in my Soul, can’t afford my payment, and rent and bills. I use a xXL dog bed with 2 Cushion insert dog beds to fill up the center. Perfect size. I’m 5’ 4” tall. Like your video.

Hey Mindy, hope ur doing great. Clever lady, I see that reflectix under the Mermaid lid, everything has a porpoise😁. In such a small space, every item must be essential,& preferably have multi-uses. I lost my wee Buddha, will source another when I get to the Southwest soon, in malachite or another mineral I luv. Good u have some knives. Consider one with a seatbelt cutter & glass breaker, rescue/Police/firefighter,EMT style, for emergency egress post accident or car fire. Often, accidents damage the seatbelt buckle mechanism and preclude fast exit. Also, even a minor collision renders the vehicle undrivable as the fuel safety shut off switch is inertia driven & disables the car. Greedy and unscrupulous tow drivers will sometimes charge the hapless driver big bucks$$ to be able to drive away by resetting the switch via a button or switch. Good to know. U def need a battery operated type NutriBullet for those yummy smoothies. Think how good&healthy half of one of those bananas,blueberries,etc would be into the blender. One more thing. Watch out for plastics impact on ur health.Specifically,phthalates. Cloudy,milk jug type are worse than clear, all are bad for chemical leaching into water & foodstuffs& gets worse with heat as in a microwave. See Joe Rogan's interview with lady environmental scientist here>-->.heavy.com/news/joe-rogan/shanna-swan-phthalates/ Be safe Mindy,phil🇺🇲👍🍀💙😄

Love ur music and the dancing. Wish ppl would dance and sing more. Makes me feel better anyway. Doesn't have to be great just enjoy the happy feeling!! Saw a lady dancing in the park. Made me smile because she was happy in the moment enjoying her life!!

All I have to say is WOW. so inspiring :) very high quality videos and I’m happy to be a new subscriber!!!

This is amazing. Kids were jazzed about the shout out. We love you and are so proud of you. Xoxo

Am I the only guy that owns a Kia soul 0.0 Jesus what have I bought everyone's gonna think I'm gay lol. How many miles did your soul have on it and what year how did it perform overall?

Did you have the back seats removed?

Stupid question: where do you sleep?

Hi mindy Beautiful lady wonderful heart love to know your story Sending love from simon in the UK Hope you keeping good xxxxxx

Great tour.I have lived in a Nissan Cube for almost 3 years and I love it! Blessings to 💜

Hi. Just came across your channel and had to watch it since my daughter owns a kia soul. Was really impressed with your layout. I'm now a subscriber. Thanks for sharing.

So nice to see someone living in there KIA Soul. I’m gonna be doing it in 3-3 months 👍

Whoa, wait - is that a bungee cord across the back of your car? At 18:00 stretching from one side to the other through the interior trim. I've been trying to think of a way to attach a bar across the back of my car. Is the cord being held just by the plastic trim? Is it hooked into the metal frame behind the trim? Have you had any issues with that set up?

This was awesome. Thank you.

😂 my name is what...slim shady

No, no, no. That does not look comfortable at all. Way too much stuff. Looks like suffocating.

I Love your jig💃👊👍✋💞

Sorry, I’m not here to watch and listen to how you make yourself a smoothie!

Omg I’m so in love with her❤❤ I get 🗣FREE SPIRIT!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 She solidify it with the Eminem song and dance 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Do you ever hand wash clothes?

Kia Soul owners! make sure you change your PCV valve 👈

I have 2016 kia soul plus with sun roof question is do you have a spare tire in your trunk because in my car I don't I have an air pump and I have all that open space where my tire would have been and I was thinking about doing the same thing with my Kia. Do you ever think you would go into a bigger car or van?

My 2015 Soul has been. Back and forth From Michigan to Maine / to Texas / to Idaho. red eye and lazy bones travelling seeing Sun rise ans ses. watched Eclipse been to Escanaba MI in Da Moonlight on Valentine's day , rocked its way off snow impass deeper than I ever thought it could , crossed deserts Completed I-90 I-75 I-95. I want to run the full length of Interstate 1/ 25 /15/20. Before we move to retire this Soul love my soul. Worn Brakes and tires get replaced and we leep going. After last. Warranty checks & upkeep the get up and go is very close to when I drove off the lot.

How do you sleep?

Aww! My goodness - so my things to move around

Just found your channel. 💖 How do you cook in there?

Hi Mindy, I found you over in the comments on Travis Travels. I love your setup, your lil buddha and your elephant, the crystals and shells. I don't live in my car, it's way too small lol, but if I did, I would decorate the same way. I lived in Tampa for 3 yrs and Virginia Beach for 12 so I love your beach vibe. May I ask, if not too personal, what kind of job you have? I think you're inspiring! I just subbed & looking fwd to future videos!

You need a shish kabob stick to poke your powder down. 😉

Awesome! I just got a kia soul today 12/18/20 and I’m so excited to get started! It’s 1 AM as I’m writing this comment so technically I got it yesterday. Have you consider putting a cargo carrier on the back of your kia soul? My plan is to remove all the seats and build a platform with free pallets where i can have storage at the bottom and my bed at top, add a cargo carrier and put a storage container on the cargo carrier, install solar power, and buy a 12 volt fridge. This is the plan and hopefully in a couple of months if god lets me I can do it I just need to save more money. This type of videos have given me hope again! I’m really exited to get started in this journey! Thank you for your inspiration!

Nice tour! I’m glad I come across your channel, now I’m staying and subscribe 😁 I’m a fellow solo traveler. Also new at both the life and RU-vid. Thanks for recommending Travis cause I’m following him too 😉 Nice to meet you Mindy. Keep Shining 💫🌟✨

Wonderful sunrise 🌄 I love the mornings when there’re not many people there and I get up in my car and walk to a lake or river to bathe. Thank you for the video 🙏Have a great day 🍀

I have a 2016 Soul. You have definitely maximized every square inch of space in there. I'm considering something like this for traveling so I don't have to rent motel rooms. With me and my husband we'd have to set up a little different though. I have a suggestion for your smoothie prep. How about using snack bags and putting your dry mix together, then in the mornings you can add that to your water and fruit. I think it would make it easier for you. 😊

Love it Mindy.....thanks for sharing....I have a similar 2015 KIA Soul......great ideas.

How did you hang that line in the back wear you hang your towel to dry ?

I currently drive a 2010 Kia Soul and wondered if one can live in it full time. Glad I saw your video. Have you ever considered buying a universal roof tent to make it easier for living in? I'd imagine finding a camp spot would be practical.

I HAVE A SILVER SOUL AND I CAN'T KEEP THAT DASH FROM GETTING DUSTY FOR ANYTHING...IM STEADY WIPING IT....DOES YOURS DO THAT TOO???

Gorgeous! Best of life to you. I ve been in a vansince last October. Wishing our paths cross. Azorean merman who chose the land 40years ago.

You are doing what I am dreaming of

Kool chic! I love ladybugs too! Curious: What do you do for work and what state was this?

Pas sécuritaire pour la vision périphérique et arrière... mais ça donne une base. 😁

Great set up. Do you have a cooler or energy source (Jackery or something)? Thanks!

What do you do for a toilet?

Well setup, I wondered how a soul auto would work out....looks like you have done it here. We all have things we keep close....you take care of yourself and keep going
