Mother's Day Road Trip in the Toyota Mirage
Otis is back on the road! And to kick off my transition back into van life I took my mom and sister on a road trip up to the mountains. We had a great time exploring both Savannah and Asheville. They are currently heading back home to Florida and I am going to continue traveling. Stay tuned for more episodes to come as I travel through the rest of the USA.

One Month Living In Athens, Greece - a quick snapshot
มุมมอง 4.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Here are some moments from our first month in Greece. When I started putting this video together I was disappointed by the lack of footage I took during this month. I guess living in the moment can be a double edge sword when it comes to making a TH-cam video. I feel like we did so much more that wasn't captured by my camera. Never the less, Greg and I both loved our time in Athens. Most people...

Another sucessful segment of the roadrip completed. I have spent so much time in Ashville that it feels like a second home. Now that I am in South Carolina, I miss the sunsets and sunrises from the mountains but it is nice to be out of the frigid winter nights.
Van Life in North Carolina- Blue Ridge Parkway, NC105, Charlotte, Elkin (EP.10)
มุมมอง 4.7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The road trip continues!!! I had so much fun in North Carolina that I decided to hang out for a while. The mountains are such a stark contrast to the ocean where I grew up. I spent some time in the city but I spent more time exploring the woods and taking dirt roads deep into the mountains. I made so many new friends along the way, the kindness and hospitality of strangers around the country co...

มุมมอง 2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The adventure continues as I take the Blue Ridge Parkway through Ashville North Carolina. I got to spend Halloween in the city and made tons of new friends along the way. Getting to meet other people traveling in vans is always fun because it's easy to connect on shared experiences.

มุมมอง 3.4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Taking Otis through Tennessee was amazing, to say the least. I made so many new unexpected friends along the way, while also spending time with some old friends. From breathtaking mountain landscapes to the lively downtowns I got to see it all! Otis took to the mountain roads like a champ. Stay tuned for my next video as I make more friends and continue the adventure in North Carolina.

มุมมอง 2.2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
And so the adventure truly begins. This video highlights the end of my time in Florida and my journey through Georgia. I spent so much time camping in the woods and truly experiencing life on the road as a solo female in a 40-year-old vehicle. I'm excited for this adventure to continue as I currently make my way through Tennesse. Follow the adventure as I face the ups and downs with Otis.

I keep making these videos to document the things that happen so that I can look back at them in a few years and laugh. Every time I think something is going one way it completely changes. I am slowly learning to sit back and relax while the craziness happens around me.

This video highlights our short and last minute trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands. We got to explore the islands of St. John, St. Thomas, and St. Croix. The views from the mountain tops were breathtaking and the water was crystal clear. The islands were like ghost towns due to the lack of tourists during COVID- 19.

    I’m instantly attracted to the uncluttered, striped down, cleanness of the inside. So my vibe. I get antsy watching other lady van dwellers with clutter everywhere. I owned a 24 ft RV for 5 yrs but found the experience to be too lonely for me, but I’m happy I tried it. Be safe!

    Your Talented an Amazing McKenzie! I’m a mom and I found you on Mr Trent’s video documentary of you, which was awesome. I don’t know you, but im Proud of you. When I was your age I was on my own adventures as well, it is so freeing and you get to know yourself, and confidence builds, your right about that. Well, I just wanted to say hello to you young lady and if ever need help, you can reach out to me anytime(I must say that as a parent) so you know. I’m in Orange County, California. I’m going to watch more of your vids to catch up. Peace be with you and I have you in prayer, and continue on with your amazing adventures sunshine 🙂☀️

  • @serenityjewel
    @serenityjewel 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lots of things in this video didn't look safe - don't sit on the edge of cliffs; don't do hard hikes in the Blue Ridge Mountains alone unless you're sure other people are going to be there and you prepare accordingly; if you ride your bike in the mountains alone, make sure people know where you're going and when you're going to get back and don't take unknown side trails; and if you meet a stranger who takes you hiking in the woods to show you a room with a bed, make sure your instincts are on point and you have a weapon. I'm sure you know all this but the next person may not and people are seriously hurting themselves and even dying from doing the stupid stuff they see on social media so I'm just giving a shout out for common sense and self preservation. Plus I live in Asheville and every year a few visitors die up here and others need to be rescued. Again, common sense and self preservation.

      My heart was in my mouth so many dangers. It’s great to be adventurous but do it safely. Seeing you with a stranger to you in the woods and then the cabin…so many risks. Your poor mum! Love your RV but please be safe. 😮

    😂 You were in Greece and you try food from other countries? Really? What the hell is going on with you Americans? The good cooked food is taking time to made. We don't eat shit fast food like you guys almost always did and most Greek dishes aren't pasta or a food that you can cook on 15-20 minutes. It takes time specially if you are on a place with a lot of people waiting before you.Greeks always take their time on anything, they don't rush or work like robots. Greece, is not only the islands and beaches People come here because they don't feel stressed and nervous. Greece is certainly not for you. Just like America isn't for me. When I was there I have the feeling that everything was like on a movie. Directed and fake. Be your self don't be a robot, if you have a self. You where in Greece, everything is going slow and without stress. That's why we are living longer than you. Chill out and enjoy or you can still visit an other robot country.

    Hi I just started watching. What year tw200 do you have ? I was watching another video of someone video you and the van in a interview youtube video .I noticed when you started up the truck it sounds like you should get a oem distributor cap and rotor . This will help it start right away . I would also carry a starter rebuild kit with the new plunger and copper contacts . It sounds like the plunger is not snapping back as fast as it should . Its something you can do yourself if you have a few tools . Watch this video on how to replace the copper connections . 99.9 percent of the time this is all you have to replace . Watch from 3:22 to 3 :57 then from 10:11 to 16:00 then from 18:54 to 19:21 that's the only steps you will need to do . th-cam.com/video/87jtsG5CxDY/w-d-xo.html I think if you can afford it is to just buy a good rebuild starter and keep it with . This way you can take the 2 screws out that holds the starter in place and replace it with the good one and then fix the old one with the rebuild kit . I don't know if you have done it yet or not but replacing the spark plug wires and spark plugs every 50 thousand is a good idea if your going to be out by yourself . In this video it sounds like you need a carb tune up for sure and maybe change your fuel filter also . Will you be making any videos with the TW ?
