I think the biggest thing that would be tough for me is the never knowing where I was going to park for the night and feeling safe. I would feel constant anxiety. Also, I would die if I were sleeping and someone knocked on the van. It would be nice if you had a few people who also lived in vans that you knew and trusted and you parked as a group.
I think if I try the pt or ft Vanlife this is what I would do. I would go to a meet up/or join a caravan and go to the destination with other fellow Vanlifers. I'm 66 and I've been through a lot and still going through some stuff physically. I don't feel as healthy, strong and secure as I did when I was in my 30s through 50s. I don't even go out a lot like I used to. I haven't been out to shop, go to sports bars to karaoke & dance for quite a few years now, due to fall-cracked ribs, fall- torn meniscus, covid, the more recent van accident and shingles. And then there was one Where they were having people I think in our area being stopped or being followed or approached by traffickers. Drug and other. It's a sad world out there sometimes. 😔
@@bellapetalart as soon as my van is in good running order again. Aka- just got the front sets of brakes, rotors, calipers + brakelines replaced. Now waiting on tires. But the plan is to start with driving to where some of my family live and using the minivan as a mini camper-van/apartment-on-wheels so to speak. I 1st need to test out my bed system to make sure I'm able to sleep on it. Or if I'm going to have to just use the 3rd row seats as a bed. And then just get used to the whole idea of being in the van vs in the house with the family, due to lack of room for extra people there. Bed, bathroom, living room and kitchen systems first. Oh and garage w tools 🔧. And first aid and security items in easy to reach locations throughout. Back in May/June I was kind of psyched about all this. But then I haven't been able to drive " The new to me minivan" since about the end of June/4th of July. When the caliper froze up. 🙄😒 So visiting family are friends and testing it out to see if I would be comfortable with the whole idea of it didn't even get off the ground. Now if things go well, I'll get tires and be able to do something between now and say 🤔 the end of September. So I'll be short tripping it in Southwest Ohio mostly.
As a solo female traveler (and fellow introvert), I think finding a safe place to park overnight has been one of the biggest reasons I have hesitated doing van life. I’m happy I found your channel. Looking forward to your adventures ☺️
I am glad you moved AWAY from that other sprinter. You learn quick. Moving that many times certainly draws attention to yourself and as a solo black traveler also, I try to do make myself invisible (which is not easy to do being 6ft tall LOL). OK SEASONING! You better go TOP CHEF! Love your videos and jounrey. God bless you!
I’m happy you were safe! As a female getting ready to proceed into vanlife as well as YT, I’m offering you my very private drive at my home. I’m in MI and this location looks like my exit. If I can help in way be please know I’m here. Be safe ! Peace and light!
Hey. I'm binge watching with my 10 year old son. He is autistic. We have decided we are going to join the van life when he is older. He's loving your channel. So am I tbh. Lots of love from South wales. Xxx
Girrrlllll yessss! You got this chick! I love to see females dong their thing, while being ultra careful and safe. Enjoy your blessed life. You only get one life, and you should live it with NO regrets. Stay focused, beautiful and positive. I am a retired patrol deputy but when I worked night watch, I used to do extra patrols by the Rv community or if I spotted a camper in one of the various parks in my beat, I would chill near them (not too close so the peeps won't think, why the po po right by me) in between calls or while I finished up my police reports so they can feel safe. I plan on owning a RV soon. My husband and I might consider the van now.
How many synonyms for cute are there? You’re adorable…I love listening to your voice and how you share your entire thought process on every tiny detail…I don’t think I’ve noticed that before in a van lifer story…everyone has their own unique way of sharing their story but I think because you’re so fresh on the journey you’re still tinkering everything out and we get to watch you learn and settle into the life, that’s pretty cool…also first time I’ve caught someone so early in the journey that I can legit catch up on all your videos and get to where there are just new vids. Keep going! 😁
I love staying at Cracker Barrel’s . I usually leave the large spots open for the larger vehicles and I find a back in near a garbage can and light so I can just pull out if I want. Try their meatloaf and loaded hash brown casserole it is amazing. I get to the place around 7 before they close to so I can grab dinner and use their bathroom and shop a bit!,
You listened to your Gut & intuition. That's paramount. It wouldn't matter if you moved 50 more times, at the end of the day, when it feels right, that's what it is.
I have stayed overnight at many Cracker Barrel’s. I have always felt safe. There are usually hotels and over restaurants around a Cracker Barrel. I always eat a meal while there and ask the manager if it is ok to stay the night.
I just happened to find your videos and I'm starting from the beginning of your journey and definitely will be following you 😃 your living my dream life 🙌 someday I'm going to do that but right now I can't due to being diagnosed with Cancer 2 weeks ago and starting chemo and radiation treatments on January 9,2023 a fight that I will win 🏆 ❤️ If your ever in Northern Michigan (Traverse City area) I'd love to meet you Stay Safe in your travels 🙏 and I'll live this wonderful experience thru you 🫶
Hey Girl. Just found your channel and love it. FYI, almost all of the Cracker Barrel restaurants allow overnight parking for RV, vans, etc. There are a few thay say no but the majority of them have no problems with it. I have been to many of their restaurants and other then those smack dab in the middle of town, I have always felt safe just going to and from the building to my car. Have fun and you go girl.
I so enjoy your van adventures. Your excitement when you find cool new places, and might I add how responsible you are! I talk about you on my radio show sometimes. I am a MidDay host at a '70s, 80's, and 90's rock station in Nebraska. Looking at the world through your eyes is good for the soul. You inspire!
You have guts....I would be so nervy there alone.....good looking meals....I have heard people traveling say that hospitals are a safe....great spot to park overnight....take care .....
Hey those biscuits and gravy look delicious! I would probably have done that moving around a bit too! I think that is normal for first timers. So I'm watching this after discovering your channel earlier today. I've went back and started from the first one. You are a wise lady. Hope everything financially works out for you.
I f I were in your shoes, I'd always ask permission first, showing your face, & description of van/skoolie or RV, so staff is informed too if something goes wrong.. RV/bus parking bays are parking bays for shopping/eating there, cos of their length they need those designated bays. Even other Sprinter vans with covers on shouldn't determine your decision to stay overnight in my view. Also I have lot of difficulty with people eating and talking at the same time. So i won't be back. Yoka.
@@yokedaams5148 you’re going to miss out on some beautiful friendships. It’s a cultural norm. Not inherently wrong. I think she’s adorable and I hope she keeps being herself despite criticism like this.
Your strategic planning is on point. Safety first and everything else comes after. I enjoy your channel because it's got a totally different perspective on "van life" which is not new. Looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes. Oh, and mistakes are learning opportunities. I am glad Cracker Barrel ended up being a welcoming and awesome spot. Peace.
Its 3:52am where I just found your channel. I am up late due to me being sick. I truly love vanlife. When you recorded this video, it's now been 2 years went by.. I been truly considering it now. But I have two children and an disabled husband. But with the times being so tough.. I wish now I taken that step.
I’ve noticed after watching several of her videos that she eats too fast, just like me. I am an RN and work in ICU and although I’m supposed to get 30 minutes for lunch for my 12hr shifts, I rarely do because of how busy we stay. If my patient is crashing, I’ll get no breaks or lunch. So I’ve developed a habit of eating fast so I can get back to my patients, even when I don’t have to rush. And I know it’s not good for me.
Me too, and I used to be a slow eater but then one year in college I scheduled myself with only 15 minutes between all my classes, which included going to the cafeteria, picking some food, eating food, and going to whatever hall. Thankfully it was a small campus but this was over a decade ago and I still think sometimes I eat too fast to properly taste my food, which can make one overeat.
Well! Sometimes the TH-cam algorithm gets it right! Loving your vlogs and admiring your thought processes on life and your journey. Had to start with the first video and binge to catch up with you. I have questions about why you started this in the first place and what you do to keep food on the table. Thanks for sharing and keeping it real. Be safe 💜
Yum! Those biscuits and gravy made my mouth water. I enjoyed this video. So calm and relaxing. I love to sleep when it is raining. Be safe and follow your gut. ❤
I so enjoy all your videos. The regular and practical things you do just makes common sense. I wish I was as brave as you. I’m a widow and my son lives with me. I could go and do anything I want but again not as balsay as you. Thank you for being so open about your life. 😊
So, fun watching a newbie to van life. It's an idea I have for myself in 2-4 yrs. You might look for groups to connect with locally and girl groups who are van related.
I just discovered you at Episode 133, so I subscribed and came to the very first episodes. I’ve never done this, but I’m so fascinated by your journey. I’ve always been interested in RVing, and I love the idea of living and traveling in one full time. I admire your life. You seem like such a sweet soul. Be safe on those roadways and rest stops. In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying your journey with you! Happy travels.❤
You need to travel to Williams Arizona and stay at the Grand Canyon Hotel RV park. The Grand Canyon is 54 miles from that. Retired Trooper Jaynes Williams Arizona, have fun on your travels.
Just caught your channel. Nice van setup. Hope you're having fun out there. I don't know if you're doing this, and I saw this on a trucker channel, but they will take their seatbelts and loop them thru their door handles and across to the buckle and pull them tight to prevent anyone if able, from opening their doors. Something to try on your van if you don't already.
I enjoy your personal videos so much. It’s almost like being right there with you as you go through chores. You are *real*. I’m amazed how you ladies (you and Abiyah Bina) cook one pot meals that look delicious. I’m going to try your fried tofu, but need the list of seasoning. Thanks again for your show.
I admire your spirit and courage. I would do it in an instant if my health, age and income weren’t against me. Stay safe, persevere in your plan and God Speed! ✌🏻
Another introvert here! You're doing a really nice job so far. Thanks for sharing your experience. You purchased my absolute favorite model campervan 😃 btw, so I really look forward to seeing how it works out for you. Hope all is well... be safe.. Peace! ✌️
Im a single mom and been wanting to do this b4 it was a thing on TH-cam but once the kids came i didnt think it was possible or "the right thing" to do but now my children been telling me that want to live like camper style so here i am do research and came across ur video and im glad i did...Wishing ur blessing and safety on ur journey ❤
I cringed when you moved your van..I was like nooo what are you doin?!!!😱😂 SUVlifer here been in it 2+yrs I love your van!! That'll be my next move in the near future. You cooking in the van is so relaxing I'm jelly🤣😂 I find it funny how we all do the "peek around" before completely opening our window shades/covers🤣😂
Nomi, I am still catching up on your earlier videos and this one is so dear to me. I'm from Murfreesboro, TN home place of Cracker Barrel. I've been in UT for 8 years now but I miss home everyday. Thank you for my opportunity to reminisce.
We will ask the manager of businesses if we can spend the night in their parking lot. Sounds sketchy but 95% of the time they say ok. Their more concerned that we don't leave trash behind, which we don't. PS love Cracker Barrel!
I worked at cracker barrel for years. They are very rv friendly. Stay at as many of them as you can. There is someone in the building all night cleaning.
Hi sweetheart I just subscribe to your channel I started at Video one where you sold your house and bought a sprinter van so I will have to catch up to the latest video I’m 79 years young and I thoroughly enjoy watching all Van Lifers if I was just 10 years younger I would have been out there with you guys. Many blessings on your journey and I will be following you continuously bless you
New to your channel. Do you find it stressful trying to find a place to sleep daily? Love the idea of this life style but the lack of location security would be hard for me personally.
I love watching FullTimers VanLife Videos...But this is the First one I've seen in a THOR Rize/Scope !! This video is very well done and I'm gonna post it on the group Facebook Page. Youre an inspiration for those thinking about fulltiming on their THOR vans. Especially in winter. ThankYou
New to your channel. You wrong for this video. That plate. My, my. Wasn’t even hungry till I saw this 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️. Thank you for sharing. Please stay safe. 😍
Omg those biscuits and gravy looked so damn good!! I’m obsessed with Cracker Barrel that’s my favorite part about going down south! Lol 🙋🏽♀️ Hello from Brooklyn ❤️
I pray the good Lord watches over you and protects you and your van at all times 🙏🏽
Amen 🙏 sweet Angel stay safe and warm 😇
Amen!
Amen❤
Amen 🙏🏾 ❤️
Amen 🙏🏼✨💛
Binge watching while I deep clean. Thanks for inspiration. Im a introvert mom of 3 battling depression. Your very soothing to my soul
I agree& hope you're doing well
Agree! Even when she eats! lol. Just something about her ❤
Very I started watching her recently and I can't go to bed without watching her
Same here. Sending healing and support your way. ❤
I'm glad you had breakfast there. It's kinda an unwritten thing that you pay them back by dining there for the stay.

@@cherannretiredgran68 I’m with you. I want to do this too, I have some health issues. I want to find other women so we can be a caravan team.
Hotels, hospitals and some repair shops are good ideas
In N.Y. there's a place in bkyn where all the Van LIfers congregated. Everyone knows everyone. Safe. Sorta like family oriented

Likewise
Does it have a bathroom where does water come from?
@@terrijarvis2910 you fill your water tanks (at different locations, campsites, etc) then use that.

Your van appears to be a Thor Rise class B RV so technically your van is an rv so it's allowed in those rv spots at Cracker Barrel. Love your videos.
Really great how Cracker Barrel offers a safe spot
You have guts....I would be so nervy there alone.....good looking meals....I have heard people traveling say that hospitals are a safe....great spot to park overnight....take care .....
Biscuits and gravy, my favorite, never had theirs though, will have to try it. Your van is so neat and organized.
Hi 👋 that was a pretty good place to stay the night to sleep. Glad you did fine. Their breakfast food is pretty tasty too. Be safe and God bless.
I enjoy watching your videos because you actually show us living in your van cooking just like it is your home not a lot of just traveling around .
Hey those biscuits and gravy look delicious! I would probably have done that moving around a bit too! I think that is normal for first timers.

I💜your channel I’m going back to watch from the beginning up to the current ones I’ve watched …..awesome
Where you park make sure no one can park in front of you creating a block so you can’t drive straight out. Enjoyed watching your video.

Watching from the UK, gravy to me is brown meaty stuff. You appear to be eating scones with white sauce... Living and learning! 😊
Gravy can be white or brown, depending on if you use cream & how dark or light you brown the flour.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Im a single mom and been wanting to do this b4 it was a thing on TH-cam but once the kids came i didnt think it was possible or "the right thing" to do but now my children been telling me that want to live like camper style so here i am do research and came across ur video and im glad i did...Wishing ur blessing and safety on ur journey ❤

I find it funny how we all do the "peek around" before completely opening our window shades/covers🤣😂
We really must be kindred spirits, we even eat just alike. LOL! I am enjoying your channel-binge watching to catch up! Safe travels!
Nomi, I am still catching up on your earlier videos and this one is so dear to me. I'm from Murfreesboro, TN home place of Cracker Barrel. I've been in UT for 8 years now but I miss home everyday. Thank you for my opportunity to reminisce.
I'll be doing this soon. Apartment living is too expensive! Watching you for the knowledge you give. Thank you. Safe traveling. 👍
I'm trying to catch up on all your posts.🥰👍❤
Nice van, looks like a cosy home.
We will ask the manager of businesses if we can spend the night in their parking lot. Sounds sketchy but 95% of the time they say ok. Their more concerned that we don't leave trash behind, which we don't.
PS love Cracker Barrel!
Thanks for sharing your journey. 🥰🇬🇧🥰
I started at the 1st video that you posed a few days ago, but saw the number of episodes and said start from the beginning in respect of your journey.
I worked at cracker barrel for years. They are very rv friendly. Stay at as many of them as you can. There is someone in the building all night cleaning.
If I was 40 yrs younger, that would be my life...I guess I'll just have to live through you..😏🇳🇿🇳🇿 Hi from a fellow introvert in New Zealand.
Informative video thanks for sharing . Love sleeping in the rain.
Excellent video, nice adventure.
I'm new to your channel. This is my ultimate dream to live minimalistic and travel with my children. Thank you for sharing your journey ❣️
Hi sweetheart I just subscribe to your channel I started at Video one where you sold your house and bought a sprinter van so I will have to catch up to the latest video I’m 79 years young and I thoroughly enjoy watching all Van Lifers if I was just 10 years younger I would have been out there with you guys. Many blessings on your journey and I will be following you continuously bless you
Her vlogs are very comforting.
New to your channel. Do you find it stressful trying to find a place to sleep daily? Love the idea of this life style but the lack of location security would be hard for me personally.
Grandma's SAMPLER!!!!!! #1 ALL DAY!!!

I love me some Cracker Barrel! And they have amazing vegan sausage now. It’s been on my list for over a year.
