    She is very wise to keep her house. Everyone, especially the elderly, need a safety net.

      Some of us don't have that option financially, unfortunately. Would love to be able to have a house and travel. Since I don't, I'm choosing the more affordable -- and more fun -- option!

      It's just a money pit, not worth keeping if you enjoy traveling more. Sell & put that money away for future needs, let it build interest, there are many retirement home options.

      @emart: inflation is devaluing money that was saved up for decades. Some people have not saved that long, but inflation causes lose to everyone.Inflation is worse than taxes.

    I have been dreaming about this for more than three years and still am not on the road. Transportation being the main issue, but I really want to do it. I will be 75 in Aug. my daughter keeps saying Mom you don’t need to be running all over camping you’re too old. I let her know that there are men and women in their 80’s and 90’s out there all ages are out having a good life. Am working on it. Hope to see you all on the road sometime soon.

      Your daughter will change her tune - but only when she reaches 75 herself. You are NOT too old. 75 CAN be old - or it can be young. Keep living!

    What's nice about van life, for women, in particular, you get freedom, from life's responsibilities, you have adventure, you meet people to befriend, you learn, you explore and, in and on. So often, we are told by society, being home, caring for family, is enough. Look at where women are today. We are a source to reckon with. More power to us all.
    This video was inspiring. If you are thinking about it, if you have the means to do it, if you have the time to do it then, just do it. What do you have to lose? You can, always, pack it in!
    Thank you.

    I hope this beautiful woman won't mind if I offer one correction. She said she's "not much of a carpenter". I DISAGREE! Wow what a FANTASTIC job she did with her build! This is INCREDIBLY well done and VERY inspiring. Ma'am, please don't sell yourself short. You're not only a great carpenter but you're also very resourceful and courageous. I may be younger than you are, but you are an absolute inspiration and I'm so grateful that I happened upon this video. Keep on keepin' on! Safe travels!

      @@ButterflyTracks yes. That’s where we first met. I actually did a tiny video there of us.
      And now in my minivan I have the same problem you had. I can’t get rid of the mice hiding in the engine. At first it went to the headlining and chewed door lock wires. I scared it out of there, but can’t get them out. It’s probably been 3 months. Soon I’ll try to remove my dash compartment filter and look back there.

      I got rid of them with a mixture of half and half Jiffy cornbread mix and baking soda (not baking powder). Mix so thuroughly that there are no lumps of Jiffy. Set little containers around. It works. Good luck.

      BTW, don't use it when you don't have mice. You wouldn't want to attract them. But it will kill them.

      @@ButterflyTracks I tried that c a couple times. No indication it was working. I don’t think they came out of hiding to get it. They probably have a year’s supply of dog food holed up. I even tried hot sauce. Now trying peppermint oil.

    I love this lady and she is so inspiring. I am "older," and I want to do this. But of course, I'm scared. Do you ever interview people that are a little sickly, and take perscription medications daily? Some days I sleep waaay too much, and I think this would help me. I also suffer from insomnia when I can't wake up. I'm putting myself out there telling you this, but are their others like me? I want to do this so badly and I want to start getting ready to find a vehicle soon. Again, are there others in my same boat? There HAS to be, right?, I am convinced this would help me regulate my sleeping. I'm probably just bored and depressed.

      I can't advise you on health issues but there are others in a similar situation. I know my sleep and energy has changed for the better. You must have a comfortable bed. I am a lot more active.

      You can't beat fresh air for helping you sleep.when camping you can follow your own timepiece. I'm 89years getting ready for a two week camping trip next month.1 cat 1 dog. For me there is nothing to compare the feeling.thats me. Then I return home and in a few months start on Christmas. Great life. Good luck try the fresh air!.

    Hi Carol! I’m 65, still working, but want to build a van and solo camp when I retire. I’m amazed at how you built your van so perfectly on your own! I’ve decided to get a ford transit connect, too, but I think I’ll get someone else to help me build it.😊
