This is one of the best van life videos I've seen. Lisa, her van and her story are captivating and inspiring. The van's design is perfect. I've never even liked the Nissan NV when I've seen it in other videos but what Lisa has done with hers changes my mind.
@@pinut187 I've seen dozens of videos and this one not only covers the van itself but also her background... it's inspiring. For the size van she has, her layout is smart and would work for me.
WTF. These videos are killing me when all these folks younger than me chasing their dreams and not being help back by the "MAN". As a small biz owner, I'm the man and I have no excuse. When the kids move out in four years, I hope this to be not van life but my life.
I second this. But maybe more like 2 yrs. If my son has a say in it, never lol. He hates the idea. But he is 18 with a baby on the way and a totally different place in life. I give him about 7 yrs and he will be begging me to stow him away with me 😜
Me, three!! I'm 54 and trying to talk my husband into doing this. He's 67 and is finally applying for his Social Security benefits. I hope he'll come around. I know we can do it!! We can easily rent our home out and live on that income and Social Security benefits. Good luck and safe travels!! ❤️🙏🏼 🚌🚍🚎
@@Lynnda86 my mother's dream! They are in their miss 60s but my Dad can't live without cable and his recliners. I personally think he can't live without his throne. Porcelain that is...
OMGosh... I honestly thought I was the only "over the hill" gal/empty-nester secretly planning my own "van life" & ready to hit the road as soon as I can. Idk if it will happen but its my dream!
It will be man.. I set my sights on this 4 years ago. 2 years for build. 2 years full time on the road. I still work. I still find side gigs when I can. And I do have many complaints BUT it’s just like everything else. Has its ups has its downs but I wouldn’t have it any other way..
Like everyone else, this is the BEST conversion ever. It's perfect. I have one question and a suggestion - how do you keep the cats from wandering away when you might want to be driving on for the day, and you might want to start growing wheatgrass for them to keep in the van - it's healthy for them and that's why they were eating the plants. You can buy wheatgrass seeds in bulk, just add dirt and water, they sprout in a few days and a crop lasts a week or more. If you're in a grassy area you can always pull some grass for them to eat but you never know if the grass has been treated or might be otherwise dangerous for them.
I'm about to buy a shuttle bus. Retired 12 years ago. Planning on being off grid. I get so much info from videos like this one. Thank you for sharing your tips!!
I remember you from a couple of years ago. Glad to see you again. I always admired your spirit. Enjoyed the tour of Freebird. Looking forward to future videos. Take care.
Good for you!! Not allowing a guy to change your mind in doing this vanlife adventure. I will be doing the same thing, traveling solo with my 2 cats too.
That was a very good video. I love freebird. I've had my nv2500 for a while I absolutely love it. Great van very very reliable and easy to work on. Right now I am getting a house in Colorado already to sell it needs a ton of work though and I've been working on it for quite a while, seems like it never ends. I look forward to watching more your videos. Thanks Lisa Lisa.🌹
You are enchanting, fish seems like you would be a good actress too. Thank you for the encouragement and positive words! Have a Blast out there! Take Care!
Good for you honey, see sometimes when we think something bad has happened to us it was actually a blessing in disguise. I had a big wake up when I lost my mom unexpectedly 3 years ago too. Yes, loving ourselves and being happy is the most important thing. I’m glad your plans worked out for you in the end. Your a great role model for others.
I converted my van and have been doing van life for over a year now. I have saved at least $20,000 in rent. My next van will be a tall NV, Transit or Promaster.
You should be so proud of yourself for going for it solo!!! What a grand adventure you are on!! have fun and enjoy life! Sending you love, light, peace, joy and abundance always! I love you.
I think this is hands down the best vanlife tour I’ve seen. I love how you explained everything. I started solo vanlife part time in May this year. My only wish is that I’d have bought a bigger van 😅
Don't let other folks tell you your value or how you should do things, good on you for saying "This is the life I want" and sticking with it. It's up to each individual to decide if they want to accept who and what each other person is and if that's someone/something they can live with day in and day out. It's ok to say "yes" and it's ok to say "no, that's asking me to change who _I_ am". Enjoyed seeing you going on a shopping spree Gutted, waiting for more episodes to drop here on YT.
you are so fun! Giving Kristen Schaal + Jennifer Grey vibes :)) love all the inspo! ps - your comment about the broken things not mattering because the curtains are beautiful remind me of that Kermit the Frog meme ("my car is making a weird noise but my bank account tells me to turn the music up louder) :D
This was posted a year ago? How did I miss this? I’ve always been super curious about the NV 2500/3500 high boys as a build out but first one I’ve seen done. Too cool! Seriously thinking it over…😏
Well Lisa, thank you for that van tour. Love free Bird, I love your vivacious perky personality. You’re just curious a little bugs ear. I say don’t give up on that acting dream. This was really enjoyable to watch. I love your design and really enjoyed what you did with the place. I also love that you went with re-purpose, recycle and all natural products. Girl after my own heart. Sending you some sweet vibes from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
Use Zip-Loc bags for your protein powders, and most everything else. Get rid of the bulky containers. The Zip-Loc bags affords you much more versatility for storage. If your concerned about keeping the information found on the plastic containers, get a printed version of that same information.
Small is the only way now to affordable housing . Even the well off are cheap and will gravitate to this . Let's get the ball rolling globally . Less is more .
This is just stunning and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your story and the unique experience you are having. It's very inspirational and inspiring to go after my own dream, so thank you a lot. Sending you much love and wishing you the best on your journey.
Nice build...I almost went with an NV 2500 4+ years ago. I ended up buying a Nissan Titan 4x4 and a Four Wheel Camper pop up and can get into the back country. She is really perky. I think of Ron Swanson's take on perky people.;-)
I also have to say well she gives off the aravana white Vanna White was always dressed beautifully from her shoulders to hurt at least knees and she never showed her body off she was very classy I think showing the van is what's important here if you're proud of what you've done in the gym that's great that's beautiful that's wonderful but in van life is not where you're supposed to be showing that off you can make your own channel showing the world how proud you are of your body and how beautiful you are and not do it on Van Lief or tiny homes
Van is Very Nice and Smartly Designed inside. Cute Van (and so are you). I see you had a Texas LC Plate, but how can you NOT use the AC if in Texas? I can Only assume you are NOT in TX.
You dont need a lot of space to sleep, would you rather have a big house but be trapped there or trade that to wake up in places like Yosemite or the Grand Canyon? For me its an easy choice
She's invested in houses for airbnb? I find it really sad that there are more empty houses and airbnb than homeless people. this sort of investing results in massively limited rental markets for the average person and ridiculously high rents. It's not the only reason of course
She MAY hurt when the Depression comes Next year. We are Already in a Recession per Experts. I feel it and so does my family, neighbors, friends, and everyone I talk to.
I have lived in my sprinter van full time for two years. The toilet she has would be incredibly expensive and create a huge amount of garbage for any full timer. I would not want to deal with all those non biodegradable bags of urine. I also use more propane in a week boiling water for tea then she says she uses for cooking over the course of a few weeks, maybe she eats out a lot. I wonder how she does this as my reality of full time is quite a bit different. I am purchasing a Nissan van from a friend and checked out this video for ideas.

I remember Lisa, from Bob Wells interview several years back.
Good to see that she and free bird are still doing good.
Good to see you again, Lisa. The only crappy thing about your YT channel is that you never post anymore. We miss you.
What a beautiful vivacious woman!
Great van too!
All the best to her and the adventures she will have.

The Roof mounted AC must have an owner’s manual.

It may require shore power to run.

You dont need a lot of space to sleep, would you rather have a big house but be trapped there or trade that to wake up in places like Yosemite or the Grand Canyon? For me its an easy choice
