Solo female veteran sick of high rents chooses van life instead
#vanlife, #money, #tiny house,
In this video, I introduce you to a solo female veteran nomad who was fed up with spending all her money on high rents with no end in sight. After learning that fellow veterans were living in vans and R.Vs, she decided to give vanlife a try. With no past experience, she did a D.I.Y build in a 2022 Dodge Caravan. In her build, she implemented some very creative ideas on how to take a shower in a tiny space and even repurpose children's furniture. Let me know in the comments what your favorite feature is in her creative van build.

Seeing the attached propane tank and water container suggests it might be very interesting.

I have heard everything now! This 65 yr old solo female nomad wanted to hit the road but didn't have a camper, rv, or even a minivan. She had a Smart Car. So, that is what she moved into and has been camping ajd boondocking in it all over the country for over a year. She is the very definition of cheap rv living.

Im in a van and can not imagine being in something so small. This young woman is amazing and creative! ❤
What bothers me most, is that she is able bodied, has all her senses, is mentally sound yet is on disability. It could be “hidden” like mental and I have these problems, PTSD, ADHD, depression and anxiety disorder, (even have lost of one of my senses, sense of smell) and have had mind numbing, boring jobs, but would never think of going on disability cause I can work. I know of people who are blind, deaf, even slightly retarded (know it’s not PC to sue that term but wanted to differentiate that from the mental illnesses already listed) and in a wheelchair who work. I once had a deadbeat roommate who didn’t pay any rent (and had to go through hell to get him out) who was on disability 0f $1700-a high amount to me having worked minimal wage jobs) because of a stroke, couldn’t work answering calls but was able enough to be up all night running up my electricity bill, playing video games (which most likely caused the stroke.) I myself know and someone else who lives near a military base knows a lot of veterans who like her are very physically able but are on disability presumably for claiming mental problems, same as I have. I even know a person who was on disability for vision problems from the air force but had a pilot’s license AND had a successful business but still got disability (do they not care about outside income?) So for the person who complained about the low amount you get on disability, you are getting money for NOT working from other people paying taxes by working, so stop complaining. Disability is for the basics(not for a life of luxury) there are multiple programs that can take care of the rest, Section 8 for housing, SNAP for food, Medicaid for health insurance, despite what people say, this country DOES help the poor and offer boundless opportunities to make it. My parents came from rich families whose money and property were taken by the communists and came to this country with little money only their education (which was from a foreign college) and ended with a net worth of at least a million even though my father had ONLY a civil service job and my mother who taught English as a second language overseas, couldn’t get a real high paying job here, by living frugally and buying a house in the S.F. Bay Area.
The toy kitchen is interesting. Too bad you didn't post information where you got it .
🎉❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❣️
Wow! so beautiful!!!
What’s the long term goal with living in a van ? Saving up for a senior home , or nursing home ? Haven’t seen too many ladies over the age of 80 doing this ?😂
Have you all seen Lulu’s way ? She’s fun. She travels a lot in her van and has a great set up
I was complaining about my Yaris being too small, but she definitely made it work.❤
Congratulations Carol! 100,000. You deserve it. We just love you.
Love your build! Thank you for your service to our country. May the Lord bless and keep you on this amazing journey. I am planning this when I am able to hit the road!!!
Tonya is such a lovely person, so fun. Just love your recent interviews. Have a wonderful day.
I commend everyone on their ability to make comfort for themselves. However, it looks like a lot of up keeping.
Rent is ridulous. People charging others high to pay their mortgage. Enjoy your van lufe. Be safe.thanks for the tour. Shooutout from ohio
Love her joy for van life. Thanks for sharing, Ms. Carol.
This was truly a fun, joyful build with EVERYTHING in mind! Wish I could have Seen her table, she spoke about it, but I have seen a table from Walmart or Amazon, that connects to the steering wheel! It even has a cup holder section! 👍
The great divide between ultra rich & unbelievably poor has become despicable. The 'celebrities' need to be completely ignored & folk need to get back to grass roots where we support each other during these very selfish times we're living in. Keep as healthy as you can in body,mind & spirit & yes as Lindey says, live like a complete minimalist. Good luck Lindey, you're a good soul. Keep on truckin! Warm hugs from Ireland🧚♂️🐾
Talented lady. Great with color design in her home. ❤😊
OMG, I am so happy to see Tanya's build 😀 That is exactly what I thought of - a kids play kitchen set! It's lightweight, the perfect size for a small space in a T.H.O.W., and already has the look for the purpose. Love to see someone else has done it 😊 Tanya's set is a nice one ❤
They are an absolutely beautiful couple! He is so skilled, and still sharp witted. 😂 She is as well. I love their testimony of giving their lives to The Lord Jesus Christ!! Blessings to them!!❤❤

Too good a channel I came across not to subscribe. Thank you for exposing us to the most ingenious people on the earth while enjoying life. ❤ This channel
Thank you amd welcome to Glow.😊
She’s got an awesome van 🚐 setup I 💝 it she made the right choice to live in her van instead of paying for expensive rent van 🚐 life is so much better than apartment life
I smiled through the entire video. Tanya's happiness with her decision to nomad is contagious. And, yes, these rents are getting crazy. I keep thinking about doing the same thing.
It is contagious! I have a feeling you will make it happen!
Loved Tanya's energy the moment she appeared on camera! She is The Queen of Everything 👑 She did a GREAT job on converting this vehicle into a cozy and functional living space. And anyone who puts *sparklies* on the porta potty is creative beyond measure. Tanya and Carol, thanks so much to you both for this fun visit. 🎉
Tonya's joy is simply contagious😊
The best part was the Holy Bible she had. She has done an excellent job setting her van up. Very creative and she’s a strong woman.
Yes on both counts!
I really love this build.
Very impressive! So positive, so organised, so clever. Inspiring! ❤️🙏
In Germany many people travel in a what we call "Hochdachkombi" like Renault Kangoo, Ford Transit Connect, Citroen Berlingo, VW Caddy etc. They very often use IKEA'S Toy Kitchen modul.
I didn't.know that. Very interesting.
@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 I Iove your channel. The light you shine on the people you show is just lovely. Plus the very useful information for a hopefully future Ford Transit Custom driving Grandma in the van. Saving up for my first rig. Love, Andrea
When there’s a will, there’s a way.
That's fir sure!!

LOVE this gal and her creative build! Thought I'd seen it all but her kitchen is too cute and WHERE DO I GET THAT SHOWER?
So interesting and unique! 👍
I am glad you found it interesting!
Nice space. Love the little kitchen.
She is really quite talented with utilizing the space, isn't she?
The joy in your laughter is contagious! I’m smiling from ear to ear!! What a fun lady and a wonderful video tour! God bless.
Hi 👋 Carol. Nice interview. I like her beautiful mini van. Very organized. Thank you for sharing. 🥰
Oh my gosh! Where did this lady score this kitchen set?
Tanya I love your unique build out. Lately I have been watching so many ladies departing from the traditional cookie cutter builds and putting their own twist on their van homes. Excellent video Miss Carol!
If I win the lottery I’m heading straight to Massachusetts to meet up with his uncle and cousin!
I'm 62 and I wanna be her when I grow up ‼️ Trying to afford an apartment is next to impossible. Disability pays next to nothing so I know this is the only answer for me. Thank you for the inspiration. Her home is amazing.😍
@@kathismith2865 Rents are getting harder and harder to afford for sure!
My rent was too high, and that was my push to go on the road.
Living in a van is easy. WHERE to live is my problem.
That certainly can be a challenge. Having a stealth looking vehicle like Tonya's makes it a lot easier. I really like truck stops, and depending on the location rest stops. Some Walmarts still allow parking and inareas with a lot of apartments there a usually a lot of cars parked on thr streets so it is easier to blend in. There are a number of good videos on this topic including one I did.
I was raised as you were. If you need help contact me please. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in SW FLORIDA. Iam a Catholic.
Love her
Isn't.she fun😊
So creative!
I simply have to try out that shower!
👍❤️😇🙏
Looking beautiful as ever, Gloria.. Love your videos!
Thank you. BTW although so many call me Gloria, my name is actually Carol🤣
