About This Van Life Journey:
Bella has been living a nomadic lifestyle since she was 3 years old. Her parents' decision to leave their midwestern life behind and travel in RVs deeply influenced her. At 17, she decided to embrace the van life again and started saving for her own van. In May 2023, Bella found the perfect van on Facebook Marketplace, a 2018 Sprinter, and began her conversion journey.
Key Features of Bella's Van:
Kitchen: Bella’s kitchen is super functional, featuring a pullout pantry, large drawers, and a magnetic spice rack. She loves baking and has ample space for her cooking essentials.
Living Room: Designed to be light and airy, Bella’s living room serves as a dinette, workspace, and a comfortable seating area for hosting friends.
Bedroom: Comfort is key in Bella’s bedroom. She has a full-size mattress with flares for extra space, allowing her to sleep sideways comfortably. Natural light from multiple windows keeps the space bright and uplifting.
Garage: Bella’s garage is designed to accommodate all her hobbies, including rock climbing, hiking, and surfing. It also houses her 33-gallon water tank and electrical system.
Building the Van:
Bella spent 8 months converting her van with the help of her dad. Working 40-50 hours a week, she dedicated all her earnings to the build. The total cost of the conversion was around $26,000, ensuring that her van would be a comfortable and functional full-time home.
Power System:
Batteries: 270 amp hours of lithium batteries
Inverter Charger: 2,000 watts
Charging Methods: Shore power, 370 watts of solar power, and an alternator charger
Bella’s Story:
Growing up on the road, Bella's childhood was filled with adventures and travel. Despite a few years of resistance during her teenage years, she eventually embraced the nomadic lifestyle. Now, she shares her journey, offering advice and inspiration to those considering a life on the road.
Advice for Aspiring Nomads:
Bella’s biggest piece of advice is to not wait for the perfect time. Fear can hold you back, but taking the first step, whether it's a camping trip in your car or exploring new work opportunities, is crucial. Outrun the fear and pursue your dreams.

I am 69 and live in my van. I absolutely love this home on wheels. I love the green color of the cupboards and yellow cover on the seat. My van has yellow and green decor as well.
Kindred spirits ❤
When are we going to see a tour of your van? I am trying to find a van
@@brendaallen3233 I do not have a you tube channel so I won't be giving a tour.
Oh my goodness, I remember Bella and her family! I used to follow their travels back before FB, IG and YT were a thing and people mostly blogged. It's neat to see her all grown up and traveling on her own now. Beautiful van build, she has her mom's flair for color and whimsy in her home.
Me too! Bella looks exactly like her mom💚
Outrun the fear. What a fantastic way to put it. Fear can hold you back from your life. Fighting the fear will make you a stronger, more confident person.
I’ve never seen a junk drawer so clean and organized. Not sure it qualifies as a junk drawer 😂😂😂
I’m so glad that even though you’re so young you have conquered responsibility by working to get what you wanted and in the way realize that you’re happiness doesn’t need to be money hungry No money can buy your happiness in mind❤
It's nice to enjoy a small space. I can't live in a small space, so I am working on another plan. I enjoyed your video, so I'll keep watching.
I've dreamt about doing something like this since I was 14. I'm 26 now. And I haven't had more motivation for anything else. I CAN NOT wait to be on the road.
I also lived in a bus for three years i still miss that time always in the back of my head to do it again god bless this young lady im on hwr page
You should do it. Even if it's only for 6 months to a year. If the thought is there. It's there for a reason.
@@Anthonysbc yes your right thank you
sew two window size covers with cushions attached. At night take the backrests & stick them in windows, during the day sit on them
Looks like you achieved your goal of making the space airy and light, love the vibe!
Love her beautiful and neatly organised camper van and also her bubbly, sunshine personality. Way to go girl!
The only two things stop me is the absence of shower and a proper toilet.
👍 thanks for sharing your home, looks very comfortable and organized. Very smart to travel while you are young, especially now when remote working is so available.
Bella and her family have an awesome camper van home on wheels
and I'm really liking how it looks inside and it is very nice take care

does it get stuffy when all the doors are closed? does it get hot without air con?
If I was
I think I'm in love...
See 26k is affordable for me. 100k for what these van builds are going for us way too much. I believe i saw this beautiful build on Pinterest. 😊
Who did your build?
She did it with her dad.
Hi there. My name is Charles wade Linn jr. Ok 👍👍🤠🤠
"...cookies and brownies..." and something "extra" ima right?
curious When people starting saying "whenever" in place of "When" .
hot dad! 🔥🔥🔥
Uff, social media Bla bla bla?
Sadly AI is going to replace you in 2 - 5 years.
Better start looking for something different, so you are not shocked when the switch happens.
You seem so fun and optimistic
@@isminiunhinged I know I sound like a downer, but I meant it genuinely. Not sarcastic or condescending.
It worries me more and more each day.
@@PinchOfLuck ah i see. The comment felt to me condescending but turns out i was mistaken. My apologies. As someone who also works in the social media and advertising department i must agree you're right. Unfortunately ai moves fast without care for the professions lost in the process. But we humans are adaptable we will find something else. Worst case scenario we all end up as influencers 😅
@@isminiunhingedHah. My choice to become a carpenter wasn’t the wrong move after all. Until the AI 3D prints a house and all the furniture I guess.😂
@@blueman5924 oooh being a carpenter sounds safe and nice. I feel like ai mostly takes over desk jobs so far. But you're next after we all starve haha prepare
She is cute!.....:)
