I gave up everything and moved to Germany. More than one in the family thought I was NUTS and each of them tried to change my mind. Some with head shaking, some with guilt, and some still don't speak to me to this day 10 years later. Some responded when I made the effort with calling but when I stopped, never heard from them again, etc... Some of them came around and finally accepted it. They miss me, but they know that this is what makes me happy. The ironic thing is that when I was in the US, they never really bothered with me, maybe a phone call, birthday parties, but we never "hung out" together. The minute I left it was "but what about ME". I feel just like you do. I have one life and if it is selfish to put myself in the driver's seat of that life, then so be it. EPILOG: They now call me brave and strive for their own dreams, so you are 100% correct, it was always about their issues and not about me at all. Being someone's Inspiration ... well, not a bad epilog at all and I can live with that. *smiles*
25 years ago I was a practicing lawyer. It was what was expected in my family if you weren't a doctor. I was married to a lovely man. Between the two of us we made lots of money. I was miserable. Then my husband left. Finally a I decided to do what *I* wanted to do, rather than what was expected of me. I quit my job and opened a Ballroom dance studio. I had NO money. We were underwater on the house, and without my income I had only limited child support. I had no assets, no one would lend me money. I built the studio on credit cards.It was a huge gamble, but I just stepped off the cliff. For 20 years I taught dance, and was finally happy. I had always dreamed of being a dance teacher, but it just wasn't done in my family.. it took a long time for my family to accept it, but they eventually did. I met my second husband, who was a nomad. For 15 years I lived in my apartment while he travelled and worked, and visited on weekends. Sometimes I would travel with him for short periods of time, but my life was stationary. 2 years ago I sold the studio and joined him on the road. I still teach occasionally, and I frequently miss my studio, but I love being a nomad. Follow your heart. Live your dream. Take the risk. Otherwise you'll reach old age with nothing but regrets. Once your family sees that your are happy, they will come around. Mine did. If not, screw em.
Carolyn, it’s not just women. Most men are too guarded to admit things. I’m 37, I had thyroid cancer and live back at home with my mom and dad while recovering. It’s been 4 years..... they don’t even like me going camping, they have panic attacks saying I’m gonna die. I’m moving to Texas to go to college for archaeology and they are losing their damn minds. Makes me feel like shit, but like you said “it’s your life”. Yeah it’s my life. I’m going. They are gonna be so pissed and upset. Oh well. That’s their decision if they wanna be pissed at me they can be pissed at me -Jay 37 year old male with not much support or encouragement
We support you! Your new life will still have mundane & weary aspects (vending machines still won't drop the item & parking meters can still run out early) but you will enter a new world, life, & frame of reference, & be better for it. Julia Cameron wrote "The Artist's Way"- saying " Leap & the net will appear." I'd add- " Or sprout wings & fly." Best wishes- you've got this!
Taking care of my disabled brother keeps me in bricks and sticks. I don't mind. I'd rather give him a home life than an institutional life. I had a wonderful year and a half living in my VW camper back in the day (1970s). If I can be nomadic again, I'd be overjoyed. If I don't get the opportunity, it's ok, because I had that opportinity. My mother, no longer with us, would have loved the life. We'd talked about doing it together at one point when she was still alive. And my other brother would love to do it, too. As a truck driver he gets to do the travel to some extent. So yea, I hope anyone who wants to try it should, regardless of what others say. Amen to what you said.
Can you make arrangements for care so you can have "time off" ? and do a little camping/travelling ? Could he go with you ? Even if it was overnight at a nearby state park.. Best Wishes...
Thx for ideas. He doesn't need 24 hr care, just momitoring. So I can and do get away for short jaunts/day trips which are fun. It's just not the same as the nomadic life. Too difficult to take him, and he has no desire to go on the road, doesn't like camping, etc. He's a city boy, lol.
I hope some day you can find a way to travel with him. Disabled people need this life more than most. Most city people just don't know better and need a chance to get in the groove. Remember, you are the Captain of the ship.
Could take him... but as said earlier, he has no desire to go. And, this isn't a major sacrifice. It's a joy to support him. If it's right for me to hit the trails again someday, so to speak, yay! If not, then I'm content that I had the opportunity before. What I can say, in particular for women, if you get the opportunity and want to do it, do it. Don't let being a woman stop you. Yes, you need to be wise, aware, take precautions, but we have to do that in our everyday lives, anyway. Carolyn has covered such topics very well. And don't let age stop you. Men and women, of all ages, partnered and single are doing it. Introverts and extroverts... it's a life that can suit a variety of personalities.
To quote Robert Witham, "Stop being afraid, live your dream! " On a personal note, I'm a nurse, I never took care of a patient who was dying who said to me.....I wish I'd spent more time at work, most said they wished they'd spent more time fishing, or painting, or traveling, or whatever, don't wait till it's too late, seize the day! 😀🌞🙏🏼
Thank you Rhonda. I needed to hear this today. I had several family members that made BIG PLANS about what they were going to do when they retired; they either had some other illness that prevented them from doing it or they passed away. I'm terrified that that is going to happen to me. I've also got BIG PLANS but I'm retiring soon and starting my RV life in spite of how my family feels about it. I choose freedom!
HA ha! Yesterday I bought a van. Today I carted the camping equipment out to it, got the tape measure and began planning the construction of my happy-mobile .
terrific book, "Women Who Run With the Wolves"! I' m 72 and totally embrace your perspective on women choosing a lifestyle we want. I plan to take trip in my Honda Element that I can live in. Actually I did drive from Vancouver Island BC to Colorado and back a few years ago. It was awesome!
I just saw a post on FB, right before I watched this that said "A REAL friend is worth more than a thousand FAKE friends!" This is one more reason why we love you so much! My best friend first told me "A real friend tells you the truth, even when it hurts!" Thanks Carolyn, for being a friend to all of us.
Pain is stopping me from living my dream. Unfortunately not much I can do about it. I've learned nothing is more important than your health! If you have good health...cherish it!
I have lived with pain for years. I had a bad accident that nearly caused me to lose my foot and left me with permanent nerve damage in my left foot that hurts all the time, as well as sciatica; shoulder damage that was only partly corrected by surgery and left me with pain in both shoulders; plantar facietis; fibromyalgia; torn meniscus in both knees; migraine headaches. What I have learned is this: you cannot choose not to hurt. But you can choose not to suffer, and if you choose not to suffer, you can do almost anything you want,
Valerie from Oregon Judgmental aren't we? I can control some of the pain with diet and exercise, but not all. And I can just power through some of it as well. I have a very high pain threshold, but sometimes the pain is so bad I find myself in a fetal position, crying. I use pain killers under a doctor's supervision, as needed, and when I need them I thank God for them. Sometimes I go weeks o without needing them, but when the pain gets really bad, I use them without guilt. Thank God they still work. And since medical marijuana became legal, I don't need the opiates anywhere near as often. But I do need (and want)to work, and my job has some pretty heavy physical elements. So I do what is necessary, without listening to judgemental assholes like you who would rather I suffer for their stupid moral judgements.
Hello. Woman here. I haven't spoken to a member of my family in decades. I live independently. And I'm neither dead nor crazy, but *might* have been if I hadn't gotten away from my family. That's reality. 🐯
I've never cared what anyone elses thought of me, why start now. Luckily anyone I care about is supporting my decision to travel the country. Just be street smart ladies, if anything in life doesn't feel right, don't do it. .trust your gut. In couple yrs when my grandson is older, my daughter wants to see some nat'l parks with me. ✌
Yes, also known as 'dictatorship'. Everyone all influenced with the government's of the world, forcing us to do things 'their way' because all they know is how selfish 'authority' is passed down the line. I am glad that more people now are beginning to realise it's their own life to do as they choose - no-one else's life. Live and let live. Thanks, x.
I respect direct people. That said it needs to be done in a kind way. I am a direct person and that is off putting to some people. Thank God my family knows me well and deals lol. I say live your life...as long as your responsible doing it and it hurts no-one, DO IT! 👌😁
I love this video because its 100 percent true. If family and friends cant support our decisions in life then we need to move on and live OUR life. We deserve to be happy our way.
She wasn't pretending. It is fact. Women have never enjoyed the same liberation or freedom as men, centuries past, and present. Only now there is movement, such as Carolyn and her strength to stand up and be counted.
Listen I have not even watch the whole video yet it's man or woman has a dream they should follow their dream when I was 17 my family did not want me to join the military I serve 22 years retired at 39 years old my God that's my dream follow your dream
Thanks for your service. I served for 4 years as a combat medic in the Army. I like her vids, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth when she called military snipers murderers a few videos back. A lot of Veterans unsubscribed after that.
George Kuh Thank you for your service, brother. Ya the vid was a few ago. She was pissed at a guy in a drive through cause he was taking forever. I believe he was a vet as well, but had a sticker on his window about military snipers and she made a bitchy comment about them being murderers. She got a bit of flack about it from other vets in the comments section. It was an ignorant comment she made and maybe just cause she was pissed about waiting forever for her coffee. Or maybe she honestly believes it? Not sure.
I literally have escaped my family 🙁 , I was expected to stay & keep up the family home with no help, raise the grandkids, dole out the family $$ and have no life at all . No one at all cared about my life , in fact they never have. I have had to give up everything I thought mattered the most to me. Been on the road for 2 months , never been happier!!
@@sarapulford5957 outs a camper that is pulled by a your pick-up truck. It conects with a hitch that's called a fifthwheel hitch.b the same hitch that semi-trucks(18 wheelers, or big rigs) use to hook up to their fraight trailers.
@@jenniferdummer6071 : Thanks Jennifer. I'm a Brit and don't fully understand your explanation but at least I know where it fits in the scheme of things and appreciate you answering me. In other words it's the thingy at the back of a car onto which a camper or caravan is coupled. We call them tow bars but your rigs are bigger than UK outfits and tàlking about 18 wheelers had me gasping for a minute.
@@sarapulford5957 It hitches into the bed of the pick up truck. google the term and you can see a picture to get a better idea. It isn't the same as a towed trailer hitch/tow bar. You definitely need a big pick up truck to tow a 5th wheel.
Too much energy is wasted in this world on trying to be "normal" according to others' definition. Embrace the different and live life on your own terms. Thank you Carolyn for all you give and share!
So true! My parents were so encouraging that I do this, they left funds for me to travel and enjoy life in an RV. My siblings and children are excited - and scared for me. But everyone who knows me that the best way to ensure I’ll do the opposite of what they think is to tell me no! I would be even more determined to do it! 😍 love that I can live my life! And I’m glad you’re sharing your encouraging videos that inspire me - thank you!
For myself, one thing has always been clear in your videos, life is short and we must all make our own choices and do what makes each of us happy. I love that about your videos. We can't live our lives by what others want. Safe & happy travels
We have to get over the notion that us being happy is selfish. We are not hurting anyone... but letting go of the notion that there is only one type of happiness.
Good job Carolyn! I'm experiencing this with siblings and my children. My ONE sister is going to be waiting in the wings for me to show the slightest bit of discontent so that she can say, "I told you so." I can't remember any of them having an opinion about me going to work since I was 15 years old. But now since when I want to do something out of "the norm", everybody wants to discourage me. Too late; I've prayed about it and now I'm that much closer to MY RV DREAM! Thanks everyone for the inspiration; the comments are awesome!
My rule is..."If I wouldn't let a stranger treat me badly why would I allow a family member to?" I had to disengage from my entire dysfunctional family once I quit acting like them and playing their head games. I became their worst nightmare with my psyco babble.Once I got therapy and changed my path. That really made their heads spin! I'm now free of that negative influence. FEELS GREAT! Hey. They don't pay my bills.
Yes! This! Learning how to have healthy boundaries with people is so needed. And fascinating that you receive so many women asking for help in this arena. That's one of the reasons I'm so grateful to have seen your videos & others (thank you, Bob Wells) empowering others that they can indeed take care of themselves whether they have limited funds or not. Watching the WRTR community & the caravans blossoming is such a cool example of practical support. Thanks for all you do. Just living your life, figuring stuff out, & allowing us to come along with whatever learning curve is empowering education. Keep up the good work!
I like that you are direct. I have high functioning autism, and I also live on the road (in a glamper van). I have learned more from your channel about being a nomad than any other vanlife/nomad RU-vid channel, and this is due to your directness. Other channels are too vague and "beat around the bush" too much, so I get confused. Living the nomad life has been a real learning curve for me, but I knew it was what I always wanted to do. So I didn't let my disability stop me, I just figured out how to live nomatically, because I wanted to. So thank you for helping me along on my journey. Keep on being your wonderfully direct self! :)
The more I watch your channel the more I come to accept that there are other ppl out there I might be able to relate to and feel at home with. That have experienced similar or just as tragic past trauma. I thank you Carolyn for being you. Brave, bold, strong. You encourage so many people! You encourage me.
My husband didn't believe we were going anywhere. I sold the house, bought the rv....we stayed in MD for the winter n the day b4 his boss says to me " Joe says your not going anywhere " well here we are 2100 miles later in Colorado
Thank you so much for making this video Carolyn. It is so appropriate to me and my situation. Last year after major floods took my home and business I bought an RV with the intention of traveling part-time. Well, 23 months later flooded again and now my RV will now become the only home I have. You have inspired me to go full time and yes what you say about peoples comments on this lifestyle is simply their own fears of not having us around to fulfill their needs.
You might not get that question from men. Rest assured you have encouraged at least one man. I'm almost ready to start and people are telling my partner and I how hard it will be. This video might be the kick in the pants that gets us started.
You made PERFECT sense! At 54 years of age I pulled the plug almost two years ago. I didn’t get the support of my family and did exactly as you advised. With stern kindness, I told them to goodbye and hit the road with my dog and two cats. I have ZERO regrets.
WELL WELL SAID ~ You touched on a really touchy subject and you presented it in TRUE CAROLINE STYLE _So proud of you from the inside --on how far you have gone ( ALONE ) in your journey thus far --So much more is on it's way from you --I know it --Tks for sharing YOUR opinion with all of us
You have become a wise woman! As an only child I am feeling very alone since my folks have passed. I’m finding out who is truly my friend. Sometimes I feel like a salmon swimming upstream, people say I’m crazy because I want to do and be who I am. I just turned 60 and realized how much more I want to experience. Unfortunately I am unable to enjoy the comfort of a motor home. So I am looking at what I can do and what I need to do so I can be off grid and living my true self. You are such an inspiration to me. Your knowledge and experience is so helpful for me. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your adventure. Namaste 🙏🏼 my friend
Carolyn I truly agree with you. We don’t always agree with our children but if that is what they want to do, we should understand where they are coming from. They only get one chance for life, then we should support them. I have always been like this with our kids, but there is a big world out there that they want to explore so we should support them.
Absolutely RITE.. I have 6 grown kids. A few think im nuts. a few supportive... Thing is their grown and have their own lives and the ones who are against are thinking of themselves not me. I bought my rv lastweek shes old needs some work.. But YOU INSPIRED ME. Im gonna live MY LIFE NOW.. ..THANK YOU!
I just recently moved from Boston, MA to Glendale, AZ and it was a battle for 6 months with my mom and was tearing the family apart. My brothers were supportive but she was downright mean about it but I could not let that change my mind. I am a good person and have been successful in my life so I will do what I want. I did it anyway as I usually do and when I just went back for a visit everything was fine, geesh after all that. I have always lived my life the way I wanted and do not let others overwhelm me by their negativity or change my decisions, I do listen to sound advice and weigh it out. I am also a safety girl so I always consider those things. I have traveled half the world most of it by myself and I do find that doing your research prior to making major decisions is most wise. But I am now 60 years old and have decided to live what years I have left doing what I want and getting to my bucket list. I salute you, freedom is what it is all about body and soul. Love your videos.....;)
This is why we all LOVE you bunches Carolyn!!! ANOTHER GREAT video!!! I'd say the same thing, Live your life the way you want, no matter what ANYONE says, & GOOD advise on talking to a professional!!! LOVES/HUGS to you my friend!!!!
You are totally together in so many ways. You are always offering great advice on living a healthy and happy life. Sometimes family members love you so much it's hard to see you go.
I believe that some of our parents, or loved ones grew up in a different generation. They are acting toward that generation and they worry about if you will be safe in that open world. My mom was not thrilled at first when I told her I wanted to travel, but the more I talked about it the more she started to change her mind. I put my plans on hold for family medical issues and as a daughter felt I needed to stay put for awhile. I have a family member who will not step up to the plate and help, they are for themselves and I just can't desert this family member. So I am staying put until I can finally do what I want to do.
You either have parents that help you and your siblings become close or you have parents or a parent who creates competition and distance between you, at some point you just do what makes you happy.
A lot of people are afraid to take that first step. What I recommend is baby steps. Even if you don't have an rv or van , get in your vehicle and go somewhere for the night and spend it in your vehicle instead of a motel to see what it feels like. Do it on the weekend or on your day off from work .Go to a state park or forest near your home . Your family may not even know you've gone on your adventure...Tell them you're going on vacation and rent a van or rv to get a good feel for this life. It may very well empower you to continue or make you realize, nah, this isn't for me ....or IS ! And yes, it IS your life, not theirs...I say GO FOR IT and try it out , and then you'll know for sure...Happy Trails !!!
Carolyn I find there is always risks involved in anything we do as this should not stop u from doing what u want,carry on and stay strong and stay safe
Yes. The words you speak are a wisdom that many need to hear. Thank you for sharing your opinions and life experience, so that many of us can pull from your wisdom and strength and or relate and feel not alone in this world for having to make the hard choice of putting ourselves and our happiness as a priority. You are an inspiration, not only in the nomadic life you lead, but the self introspection you share, helping us all to become more whole. all the love
Hello, you are s right. We are nomads in Australia, retired and our own children tried to run our lives. Well like you , we get one precious life and we made the perfect decision for us...It takes guts and that is what some people lack.....Stay Safe....Love and hugs
Live your life!!! As long as you have a plan to support yourself. It will be like an adventure to explore. It doesn't have to be permanent. Make it a temporary thing and see how it goes. Great advice Carolyn.
Love this video. Carolyn you are describing my life and the choices l have made in my life. I can't deal with others negativity and toxic behavior and making me feel awful about myself. Live your LIFE. Make your choices and live.
I appreciate your frankness! Many are stuck in the family rut and living for them. I like you have been free of these problems for better or worse. Life is precious and short. Someday never comes unless we make decisions to make it happen! It's not easy to be genuine! Thanks.
Carolyn's RV Life Very well said, Carolyn. And from a "therapy" point of view, balanced and healthy. Making decisions for one's own life is very personal and should be self-determined, not driven by the opinions, the pressure or the control of others. That's what it means to be a grown up. Those that hate your boundaries will either change and support you or will lose you. That's their choice.
I respect what your doing Carolyn. More women need to stand up for one another and encourage one another. I have a lot of medical conditions and my mobility isn't that well. Also the cost of renting apartments and houses keeps going up year after year with the economy. When your on a fixed income it's a struggle. I'm seriously considering getting an RV to live in full-time. I've been praying about this and my circumstances for over 5 months about it. If it's God's will he'll work it out. I'm trying to simplify my life and have less stress in my life. I respect you and what your doing and what your staying. Thank you so much for the encouraging words and inspiration. You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this RU-vid video.
You are an example to us, the people who do not have a good supportive family behind us. I believe you are truly adorable Carolyn and you are a real blessing to us. Thank you for another heart warming video
Yep 👍🏻 you only have one life no reruns, live for YOU!! I am going though this my self right now. I think she is on board with me now. Thank you Carolyn.
you make so much sense to me...i loved the video! thank you for being so open and sharing...amazing!!! i just got my RV and just starting on my journey with my dog across the US :)
The greatest critic is often 'oneself' and overcoming the fear ~whether it's finances, health issues, the 'unknown'; it's such a great feeling to move through and over it. It doesn't matter how old you are, there's always something. Finding more comfort from being 'my own best friend' is something I'm still working on and it feels wonderful to move that way. At age 70, I'm even getting excited about hiking and backpacking, even if only on day hikes. They really boost self-confidence. Wonderful discussion topic!
THANK YOU SO MUCH...….this was presented so well......your sharing is helping heal the world....this is the first time I have commented on any one's presentation, but I felt you needed to hear.....don't ever doubt your sharing, how you present or what you say....it comes from your heart and that is what the world is missing....I have been full time for 2+ years .....full time rving is like everything else...it's a head game.....i'm turning 69 this year and travel with 2 cats....THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I EVER MADE.....the world needs all the light it can get.....KEEP YOUR'S SHINING......
It's amazing how much it helps to just spend time with someone who validates and accepts you exactly as you are. This is my work. Too much time around people who bring you down, control, and criticize you, it really affects your psyche, confidence, and mental strength...
Food For Thought! ..... its been more like a Banquet! That's been 18 minutes of good advice, common sense and yes, plenty to think about. Thank you Carolyn.
AMEN!!! I lost my Mom 10 years ago and we never had a very close relationship until the end, when I fired hospice and brought her home after she broke her neck and I got her strong enough to live and took care of her. She lived another 5 years and even outlived my Dad. Since she died I realized that I mourned more for the relationship we didn't have all those years, more than actually the loss of her. I loved her, don't get me wrong...but she would try to sabotage almost everything that I did or wanted to do even as an adult. When I spoke with her best Friend many times about it I realized that she was jealous of me actually getting out and doing what I wanted to do and not letting the fact that I was Female stop me. Even though she was successful one time in stopping me from doing what I had earned (like going to the Karate Olympics, after I had earned enough points to enter and had the official invitation) I still was able to focus my energies toward something else. I regret that I allowed her to do that to me, and often wonder what would have happened if I had participated, but even though I was just 17, I could have put my foot down and called a cab for the ride to the airport...after all I had the ticket reserved and the money for the trip and my instructors were waiting at the airport for me. I have that major regret, and I told myself then that I would never allow someone to derail me from my dreams and accomplishments ever again and I haven't. Sure, it's been a lonely rode to haul being mostly by myself in life, but like you Carolyn I have no one to blame for the mistakes or triumphs but myself. And in the end I want more triumphs than regrets. I say follow your bliss, because like you said....in the end it's only you that have to make yourself happy, no one else can do that for you. {{{hugs}}} to you and a smile to the skies for Capone. I know he would still be very proud of you, as we are!
I’ve meet people who live this lifestyle and was able to spend time with them. They have made the world of difference to me. We are taught our whole life what is normal. Then one day your normal isn’t there’s and it can be rally hard to adjust. I understand how you may feel about your brother because I have family that causes tears when I think of lost relationships. But for my health I need to move forward. I feel more welcomed in the last year than my entire life because of those who share this lifestyle. Thanks for this video
Speak on Carolyn. You are right and you have the right to make your choices for your life. I love following your channel...it's the closest thing to being there! 👍😀 Be safe, Be blessed 😉☺💙🇺🇸❤
Carolyn that was the most inspiring video I have ever seen. It could be applied to so many situations in life. You have the wisdom of an old soul, as one who has walked through the fire, and came out the other side well tempered as steel. God bless you for your insight. Have a full and well lived life. ❤
Not of this world.. yes.. I've always been told I'm an old soul. I guess it comes from, like you said, walking through fire! thank you for your kind words and thank you for being here. I appreciate you, Carolyn
Holy Smokes! Carolyn, you NAILED it! The only thing I'd add is to suggest that they promise to hang with a caravan until they feel confident on their own (or for a fixed period of time) before going off on their own. Even the women only group could make lived ones feel confident or less worried. Just a suggestion. I loved all of what you said - you are right on the mark! 💯❗🎉 "I can do this and I am worthy of living my dream."
CAROLYN. You are so right about women not feeling as thou they have a right to do what they want. We have been so programed to do as we told and not what we want. I love the way you are so direct. Right on CAROLYN about how those who really love you will support you. Wow! You put this so well. Thank you for this talk. I needed to hear this. I understand what you said about missing your little brother. You made the right decision by breaking off the relationship. You had to get well and you had to let go of him. I totally understand this. Great talk. Really really great talk. I just love you for your honesty. So refreshing in this day and time. Big hugs to you. 😘
Carolyn, I had my family members tell me what to do, and what not to do. Some spoke of fear, an others had different concerns. In reality, it was their fears that they were trying to impose upon me. If someone said "You can't do that", it really meant, "I can't do that so I don't know how you can do it." "You shouldn't do that", means "I'm afraid to do that." It took me until the ripe old age of 63 to figure that out. I lived in my mom's fears. Some of it got in my head, but some of it was I didn't want her to be frightened and worry about me. If I tried to get away and learn my own life, she would interfere...because that is what she had learned from her parents, and grandparents, and friends. We are the sum of all of our experiences, good and bad, and it is up to us to shun what we don't need or want, and heed what benefits us...and be smart enough to figure it out. And make the appropriate adjustments as we go along. (guess I should have waited until minute 7:49 to post this...exactly what you said)
More woman slip in the shower - and suffer serious injuries, than get hurt traveling alone ✌🏼 So happy to hear you support women to be strong and follow their dreams! Once family see you happy 😃 their support will follow! ⭐️ Big hugs ⭐️ brave spirit ⭐️ Therapy👍 great advice
Woman....try it in your car. Your truck . Your van. Rent a small RV. Try it a week. 2 weeks or til month. Keep a log. You do not have to do videos... I am 76. I was going to do that. But right now my legs are in so much pain...I can not walk. Until this goes away...I am land locked. But I still go on trips...stop and sleep at rest stops. Try that.
Well said!! I think you are great! I enjoy watching your videos. One of the things I love about your videos is that you don't sugar coat things. Wish more people were like that. I have a friend that I've been friends with for 12 plus years, when I told him that I wanted to live in an RV and travel he said that kind of lifestyle is for people who are desperate. That not only hurt but pissed me off so I told him that for a lot of people it's a choice and they are not desperate nor am I and if he can't be supportive specially on something he knows nothing about then I don't want to be friends anymore. He finally came around and apologized and has been much more supportive.
46 years ago, my oldest brother have me the book Jonathon Livingston Seagull, it was his way to support me, the one who didn't fit the world. I'm thankful. Love this video. ♥️💜
