Heather's Hikes & AdVANtures
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2012
👋 I'm Heather - welcome & thanks for being here!
Join me for new adVANtures every week - all over Florida and beyond - as well as informative videos on car camping, hiking, and solo travel (including plenty of helpful tips, tricks, and hacks) to make your time on the road easier!
I'll also be sharing the latest chapter of my journey with you - learning how to navigate future hiking & adventures as I begin to adjust to living with unexpected chronic illness.
Since "someday" is never guaranteed, I stopped delaying my dreams, and I'm on a mission to seek out as many beautiful natural spaces to explore (and wildlife to photograph) as I can, while I can! I converted my minivan into a no-build micro travel camper named Terra, and I'm taking you along for the ride!

I transformed my dad's Mazda CX-5 into a cozy camper in under an hour! 😎🍄💫
I'm switching things up this time, and giving my viewers what they asked for... a no build car camping setup in a compact SUV! Come along as I convert & transform my dad's Mazda CX-5 into a cozy and comfy mini condo on wheels, ending in a tour!
How did I do? Would you have placed anything differently?
I would most likely bring my fridge instead of a cooler for anything more than an overnight, but I wanted to go with a good starter setup that most people can replicate on a tight budget.
Thanks for watching!!
See you next time when I'm back in Terra for a different kind of advanture!

Beautiful & simple no build minivan camper sleeps 2! | van tour 🍄🌼
มุมมอง 11Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In this no build, no tools, no expertise needed van tour, I'm showing you a minimal but functional (and beautiful) car camping setup that sleeps 2 people comfortably and easily. My only financial investment in this setup was a new 6" tri-fold mattress that allows us to utilize both a day/lounge mode, and a night/sleep mode. I'm pretty pleased with what I consider a versatile and cozy camper wit...

Hey Friend! 👋🏽 Nothing but good vibes coming your way! 🙏🏾😊
Hi what kind of battery you use
I live in Estero FL. I have been here for 4 years and wouldn't live anywhere else, it's so clean here. We do have black bears, we live in a new subdivision off of corkscrew and he was swimming in the pond in our backyard. I have seen many bobcats, foxes, Black panthers, wild boar walking across the road, and many bears, lots of alligators they come right to your front door or patio screen. Estero is like its own little Oasis.❤❤❤
I love that area so much!! I definitely wish I could spend more time down there, sounds like you have a wonderful oasis around you 💚
I’m sorry you had to take an unexpected trip, but hopefully you’ll be getting some answers. Thinking of you!!! Positive energy your way! 💐
What do you use for your bed in the back set up?
Glad to hear you're getting some answers and an actual care plan. You got this!
We have similar vans. We are a full-time van family (myself & pre-teen daughter) going on 9 years now. Your van looks marvelous, and mine looks like a bat cave 😬. Sigh. Maybe I need some faux fur. It's the plastic drawers. They are brown and scary.

Oh Heather. What brought on the need to call 911, if you care to share. You are always beautiful ❤😊. Edited . Just read your post with more information. So sorry you were alone when this happened but glad you called for help.
Flame like candle? Where did you get that??? Very nice
Great video (I was looking for a video like this). It will be interesting to see if we start getting more USB-C powered devices in the future with the higher wattage capability.
luv it so cozy
Thank you for the updates as you go through this difficult time. After so many years of struggling, it would be beyond wonderful if you finally get some answers.
I'm sending you healing energy, and I hope you feel better soon and figure out what is going on.
I pray you are ok 🙏 hopefully you get an answer
I hope they did figure out what's going on. I'm so sorry you keep having to deal with one thing after another.
It's not the best you've ever looked. But honestly you've never looked more beautiful. Your always a " flock star" in my book. Your honesty & bravery & openness are priceless. Thank you. Loving, healthy vibes being sent your way. You've got this girl.
It is the best. I want to copy it. Btw..what is yr height. I am only 5.2 ... will that bed fits me?
Praying
💚
Glad your in good spirits, hope you get better soon. 💪
Thank you!!
