I recently spent my first "test night" in my van and this was so relatable! lol that first pee, first meal, realizing you're alone in a van with nothing to do at 6pm lol
I love that you don't know what you are doing, but you are doing it anyway. And yes...I am praying for you. My plan is to be out there one day too. Be safe.
I know this hasn't played yet. I watched your van tour and subscribed right away. There was something about you! I went and watched about 3 older videos at random and knew I made the right decision. God bless you on this journey of life!!
The bathroom scene, the way you sat there doing your thing and looking back and forth to see if people were peeping at you 😂🤣🤣 The way I needed that laugh! Subscribed ✅
I can not believe you took off without window covering! that's not what we do Girl...grab you a sheet or blanket and sun reflectors, measure those windows, cut and glue fabric to reflectors...and there you go! love the video btw.
Vivian, you ain’t lying, that’s not what we do, lol. I was thinking duct tape fixes all sorts of temporary problems, duct tape poster boards over those windows or something.
Thank you for being yourself. It was such a relief to see imperfections and because of imperfections it should not stop anyone from pursuing their goals. Thank You!
Unsolicited curtain advice: some small golden screw hooks and a curtain with grommets could be a solution... more aesthetically pleasing than a shower rod, haha
I am trying to start car camping in my Honda Pilot. I left my house this weekend with no plan and failed to find a campground or safe place and ended up in a hotel.
I have an idea for your divider. You how you have metal snaps on a pair of pants or jacket? You can get the "male" part of the snap into the upholstery and then the "female" part of the snap button can be in the black out curtain. Then you can snap in and off your curtain. The snaps can be found in gold tone to go with the rest of your aesthetic.
This would so be me doing vanlife nervous and unsure, but as you said gotta start somewhere and just do it. I have never traveled anywhere really before solo, which is really surprising considering I'm a introvert and really enjoy being alone.I would get some cheap black sheets or pillow cases cut them up to fit windows add some magnetic strips or something to hold them in place for now. I wouldn't be able to sleep alone with those windows uncovered throw something cheap on them for now many options out there to give you some needed privacy and peace of mind.
Love the fact that you had crab legs as your first meal in the van & you had me ROTF whenever you were telling us about it.🤦🏽😂 Stay safe and have a blessed & wonderful week. ❤🙏🏼
This is already my favorite van life channel. A honest narrative and not the whole ‘hippie’ vibe. So relatable how you’re just trying to figure everything out.
I just stumbled onto this and I just love how honest you are because I know I can learn along with you . Safe travels. If you haven’t already, check out solo female campers or travelers. They will work with you , you will make friends to meet up with along the way.
I giggled too many times watching this ❤ please live in that van, girl. this is the content that I didnt know I needed 😂 I have an suv that I'm tempted to camp from 🤷🏾♀️
**New Subscriber** I'm loving what I see!! I want to do van life so bad. Trying to figure out a plan for myself to get started. I also am loving all the van life shirts and sweaters. xoxo
Love how your videos are not heavily edited to perfection. You are just being your Fabulous You!! Please be safe in your travels and have many wonderful happy adventures!!
You're gonna find out that campgrounds are some of the safest places and you'll meet some super nice ppl along the way. Ppl that are always willing to help if you need it.
Girl I laughed so hard! I've been camping(incl canoeing, fishing etc) summers since I was 6, lived/studied in Costa Rica & traveled across Am for my corporate jobs as a Black woman. And yet.. I can admit.. I'm not sure if I can do van life full time. So, I've talked my husband into renting a small RV for a trip. I suspect I'll love it because I love the large ones, but I think a smaller one would better suit our new empty nest, downsizing life. Why wait until I'm in my 60s and too slow, sick or tired to fully enjoy ALL that God has blessed me with? And in case you're wondering.. I'm 10+ years older than my husband although everyone thinks he's older than me. He's an "OLD" soul.. like listening to old gospel music my dad did when I was little "OLD".. Girl I'm talking about musicians that were dead before I got to college and he was in preschool-- old soul!! Lol Needless to say, you've been an inspiration for other travelers of color and I'm now a new subscriber! Thanks for sharing & keeping it real. Many blessings. MLG
Good luck. I really hope you make it. You may go through some difficult moments just trying to get adjusted but please don’t get discouraged or give up. When you said “ I wasn’t that scared” I was rollin!
Love it! Advice?... Please get/make some curtains so you will feel and be safer. And you MUST get a heater! Such a beautiful van. So excited for you... be brave, darlin'! Oh, and put your cute little plants in the sink or they are gonna go flying... or, as stated in another comment, Velcro is your friend! Subscribed so I am psyched to see your adventures! Keep rolling....❤️
Just watched this video. First of all I loved your gratitude! I must admit you made me laugh a lot. I could picture myself with the same issues and concerns. I so want to get a van and convert it. I hope that will happen in the near future. Continue to be blessed!
Love your humor, wit & personality, and I'm already hooked on watching your van life adventure and you haven't even started yet. Stay safe and have a blessed & wonderful week.❤🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been researching VanLife for over a year. It’s going to be at least a year before I’ll have the funds but this video just gave me the hope to not give up.
You hooked me with the first 3 sentences. I'm bout to join you girl. Trying to figure out what kind of setup I want. I'll be out there by Feb. 21 for sure. Happy trails !!
Girl you had me with the pee. So real and that’s what camping and van life is all about. You will learn the different ways to make it easier. So many suggestions already. Good luck and will continue watching.
I'm just putting some little metal pieces on my walls to attach the magnets to. Or just use metal screws to attach the magnets. You can make it look cute! Use colored metal or just paint them!! Goos luck!
I returned to this video to watch the beginning again and you have changed so much 😂. Way more confident in van life than before. Congratulations on making it to your sophomore year of Van Life! 🎉🎉🎉
Hey there & Brava to You! I purchased a travel trailer Jul2020 (floor needs to be replaced). I attempted to get help a couple of times without success. You have encouraged me to get back to work and conquer my fears! Prayers 🙏🏽love ❤️& light to you! Keep up the amazing journey and I’ll be watching! Thank you!!!🥰🙌🏽🥳🎈
I love watching your videos. They’re so helpful to me as this is my dream and I too would be solo. You’re helping me learn what I’m going to be dealing with. Keep up with the honesty girlfriend! I’d love to meet up with you someday❣️
I just started watching van lifers I think where's Tiffany was the first and so now I'm so addicted to Van lifers I've been watching it for the last two or three days keep up the awesome content you doing an awesome job and you'll get everything together in time God bless you health strength and prosperity in 2021 stay safe on the road
This is by far the best van life I have ever watched I want to do this so bad but my husband think I’m crazy lol I’m serious I hope he gets on board lol
Can't stop laughing... 😂🤣🤣 you are too much. I've been watching videos about van life for 6 months and your videos have boosted my confidence. Thanks for being real. I have all of your fears. Glad you did it anyway. I will be moving forward with my plans ❤️❤️❤️
I loved watching your tour and videos overall. You've got a new subbie. I have been living part-time in my van for about a month. I love it. Everything currently is a "dry fit" because it is not my desired look. I have been documenting my journey on my channel. Sooo happy living this life...part-time that is. Lol
Love your van. You can buy a cigarette lighter heating blanket. Alot of vanlife people get a Jackery power supply as an extra power source its portable. There are also small low watt heaters you can buy, and plug in with an extension cord if the campsite has electrical connection. God bless you! Happy Thanksgiving.
OMG!!! You had me screaming your first camping night! I subscribed because I love your vibe and I'm looking forward to experiencing your adventure!!!! Fix that heat situation!! Winter is coming! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m starting to plan my VanLife and I love your channel. You make me laugh and you and Zion are an inspiration! Cause I don’t know what I’m doing either. 🤣
For the windows....You should be able to use strong magnets sewn into a few layers of blackout fabric to attach them to the window frames (which are metal?). You could even put insulation/batting between fabric layers to help with the cold! Good luck and stay safe out there! -I recently saw a van lifer get broken into while they were inside. Please get a teaser or such (spray will ruin the interior of your van and may get you too if there is little to no ventilation)
Hi Antoinette, I instantly knew I would be a new subbie to your channel. You are down to earth and funny! Welcome to your new home on wheels. It is awesome that you are living your dream. I think the bohemian chic feel is a great choice!! It compliments your personality. Enjoy your new travel adventure!! Wishing you the very best and many blessings on your incredible journey. Stay safe, stay well. Live, Life, Van. 🚐🥰✌🏾💌🙏🏾
That sign with the quote is so fitting!!! I laughed when you read it lol so jealous of people who get to do this. I share custody with my 4 year old so I’m confined to my area. So happy for you and will be following your journey!
I live here in Houston and you inspire me to get and live in a van😍😍😍 I’ve always wanted to do this as I’m on a journey to become debt free!!! Love your space by the way 🥰
I am excited for future videos from you! Your amazing! It bomb to see a woman of color doing this! It’s very few and I feel that you would be one of my tops favorites to live through! I can honestly say if I did not have children, I would be doing the same thing.
New Sub here.... I love Van Life channels and considering getting me a van. I know you say the window coverings are expensive, but they will keep the van warm and you won’t have to worry about who is watching you. I would highly recommend you bitting the bullet and getting them for security & sanity. Looking forward to your content. I will now go check out your van tour video. Peace & blessing Yvonne!
