I am a 56yr old latina nurse and I live in an RV like yours but I have a full kitchen and bathroom. I now the hassle of lowering everything before folding up the camper. I have solar generators that I use and I love the freedom of living in the camper. I bought 10 acres of land 2 yrs ago near Yosemite. I live in my RV while I am working on building a tiny home. I am happy to see other people enjoying living in there RVs to.
Taino NY Rican, 66 yrs, Thinking of going Van living vers trailer living. But get it about moving around without a trailer. Came home for the pandemic Life when downhill after. Illness got me, not the pandemic. CA living open air does it for me.
You may like watching “Little House off grid”. It is the life of a senior couple that bought land and built their own tiny house. It is completely off grid. They don’t have an electric nor water bill! They have chickens and they cut up their own wood enough for 3 years of supply. Enjoy life y cuidese!
Your Lil “casita” is very homey. I lived in a van for 3.5 years, it’s so healing and I miss it so much. So proud seeing a young Latina bringing the joys of outdoor life to others. Keep safe n sound Bediciones🙏🏽
Omg; finally someone painted the inside of an A frame. They are a camper I have considered buying. But you are absolutely right; the color made the space feel some comfortable instead of that dull cream color. That would of been the first thing I would have done. I am Native American; African and Latino; so it is wonderful to see people from all walks of life enjoying the nomadic lifestyle. Awesome!
A woman and her dog, discovering herself and the world of " freedom", I am 72 and I think this is a. amazing way to explore nature, travel and the adventure of being content with ones self. Absolutely courageous and "way fun". What a great life for now young lady, enjoy everyday.
This camper is Adorable! It's the perf size for one, and your set-up is so streamlined and easy. Thanks for the final shot of closing it up- how simple is that? Travel safe and happy trails!
This camper is adorable! What a big difference it must’ve been from the car to the trailer. Having grown up Glamping, my question to you is, do you ever have problems with bears sniffing around? And also I would imagine it’s not that insulated, so you must be extremely hearty to have not use the air conditioner at all and rarely use the heater. Much respect. I think I’m too much of a wuss. I’m glad you’re having fun out there and meeting new people and enjoying life and finding out who you are. That’s always a good thing. Thank you for your tour
That is the perfect size trailer I've been looking for to pull behind a VW trike. I'm selling my converted school bus to get something smaller and that is perfect thanks for the video.
Firstly, congratulations on following your dream!! Your set-up seems to be very well thought out and balanced to meet your needs and goals. Very manageable, yet still very comfortable and homey. Your main reason for doing this is to be able to get to know and understand yourself through solitude in beautiful outdoors locations that you love to be in. That's all good in every way, incredibly healthy actually. I'm sure your family can see the good this is doing for you. Like you said, just have good situational awareness and take all of the precautions to stay safe as a woman alone. You will meet many good people out there who you can build a "trail family" with who will enrich your outdoors adventures in lots of ways!! You are so courageous for actually blazing this trail in your life!! Thank you for sharing your story and Best Wishes for You!! 😊
FINALLY A LATINA! All RV/camper vids are amazing but seeing a latina living in a camper is so rare on YT. I am looking to live in one while finishing my degrees and a couple years after. Its so intimidating and many of my family members are not very supportive but it’s something that will work for me during this part of my life.
I had an Airliner classic when I first started towing a tiny RV. I never lived in it like you do. I belong to a national group of Women Campers who started out with Aliners and then switched to whatever. I ended up with an R pod. There are a couple Facebook pages which you have probably found for Aliner campers. I’m too old now, 80 years old with health problems, to keep on doing RV camping. Although I do still camp with a tent or a tiny one unit cabin. Keep doing what you’re doing because you apparently love it and it’s successful for you. I’m glad you have a supportive family and you’re very smart to start a Latinx group. Good luck with everything you’re doing.
If anyone is wondering what her snack bag is. I found it. Its REI Co-op Pack-Away Cube. Comes in 3 sizes 10L, 15L & 25L sold separately. I really liked it and had to find it.
The Zinsser 123 Primer is the best. I used that primer when I painted the interior of my motorhome. And all the walls in my manufactured home that had that ugly "wallpaper drywall" also.
Hi Luz, what a great little video on your Aliner and set up. I love that you are a young female Latina and living your dream. Yay! I'm a 72 yr old woman and lived & traveled in a van for a year and half waaay before "van life" was van life. Drove my poor mama nuts, though my dad was so proud of me. All your suggestions were great- I'm now looking at buying a Ranger 10 Aliner and just bought an Outback to pull one! Again, thanks so much. Wishing you all the best in your travels!
Amazing. But the whole "woman of colour" stuff felt a bit of a stretch. With all due respect, it doesn't matter if you are from Latin America. That's not an ethnicity. You are not different from the average "white" American. Other than that, great job!
Love the A frame. You did a great job thinking everything all thru as far as placement for everything. Wondering what you use as an address when doing this kind of living? Most campsites won’t let you stay more than a month here and there. Also wondering how you stay warm in the Wintertime? Love your design. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Hey! I get my stuff mailed to UPS locations. They usually charge 5$ a box. The rest gets sent to the family and if anything important arrives they let me know :) I chase the weather so i usually head south when it starts getting cold...my comforters pretty warm too :)
CONGRATULATIONSSSS! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION! Can you please let me know the brand of your 2 gallon water jug and your fold-up table and your big phone charger? Please please please! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ❤️❣️❤️
Hi Mija, you've done great! im following this idea too. Im a 70 yr senior retiree, I was thinking i was going to be able to get into a senior community but im still on a waiting list with thousands of other seniors. Since the pandemic, I have lived in an rv, toy hauler and a Ram truck, I am going to get me a little trailer like this and put it on familys land. I know the troubles but I also know how blissful this life can be. Stay safe, see you around maybe, God Bless ✌️🦋
Lovely little camper, I never saw one like this in the UK before and I think it's the perfect way to separate the car from the house. I would love this camper! Your dog is adorable and looks to be loving meeting new friends as much as Luz.
Thank you for your video! I am a female who has a Subaru Forester and I have been looking high and low for a camper light enough to pull behind it. I have looked at this trailer on-line, but it is really nice to see someone with "stuff" in it and being able to use an electric/solar generator and a 2 burner camp stove. Exactly what I have planned to do. I love the idea of painting the inside! It looks really lovely ;o) I have a suggestion to keep the heat from coming in via the windows: The double sided foil insulation is supposed to deflect the sunlight really well. I have seen many people use velcro to put it up, but the bubble windows shades would probably hold it in just fine. You can use the ones that fold up like a fan and are meant to put in a car window...just cut out the size you need and glue a border on it, or use some pretty cloth to cover the side which is inside and make it like a picture. This stuff can also make your bed several degrees warmer on a cold day, when placed under your bed linens (Silver side up). I also saw someone suggest a dog gel pad which helps cool 5-10 degrees and she uses one for her and one for her dog (Coleman Comfort Cooling Gel Pet Pad - on Amazon). Maybe one day we will cross paths and if we do I would be honored to visit with you and compare ideas...
Love your home, enjoy life and remember God is always with you. Stay true to yourself continue your journey 😊. Live your dream, looks like you have thought everything out. Congratulations
My dad did this in a blue old ban with his hammock coleman stove and fishing pole. He took photos of all the national parks. We got a postcard every 3 months. He was a solor traveling american photo journalist after 30 yars of raising seven children and working with fine jewelry. He loved Bryce Canyon and that was his name. Bryce.
Wow, that sounds like a John Steinbeck novel! And it looks like you were named after your dad. Are there any online collections of his photos from that time?
my husband and I had an ALiner. we hooked it up to our Harley 3 wheeler. traveling from Kentucky we went to Florida, Missippi, dc, California, loved that thing, made traveling so easy and fun.
We have a Rockwood A-frame trailer. It has a heat pump for the AC, so no unit on the roof. This means rhat we can keep our trailer in our garage and avoid storage fees. Ours is about 1800 lbs and longer. We bought a metal shelf unit from the Container Store that has drawers that pull out. It sits on a counter space. My husband also made two bars out of PVC that attach to the sides of the trailer--great for hanging up clothes. This also makes the trailer stronger in case you have a high wind. There is a national A-liner group, I think. By attending their conference, you would find even more great ideas. BTW, we did find that you really need to make your trailer level before flipping it up. We use an Anderson leveler for one wheel and we have levels (with the bubbles) attached to three of the sides. A Casita would be easier in this regard, but we can't get that in our garage.
I was going to subscribe. Because I am Latin but according to people don't look or sound Latin. But, have never identify as a race but simply as a woman. I have never, ever, had any racial issue.
I like the rig, but it’s too small for me. I like the A frame concept, lightweight, compact when folded up, but I also like to have a bathroom which would be a wet bath in the slightly larger A-Liner LXE. But, I am also looking at other types of campers and mobile homes too. And it looks like the young woman in the video has it all under control…..
What an adventure you are living. Good for you!! It is great to see so many of you young ladies having the guts to follow your own path. So nice to have the support of your family. As long as you keep your eyes open and be careful meeting new people. Remember they are first, "strangers". Follow your gut feelings, (instincts,) & that will keep you safe. nI think that it is great that you have your dog with you for company and for protection. I enjoyed watching your channel and will continue to follow your adventures. Be safe and happy travels.👍🐕🦺✋
For taller people, the A-frame trailers that have the dormer that folds up on the front would probably work better. Of course, these will be heavier and longer. I am "vertically challenged" so our smaller Rockwood A-frame is fine, but my husband has mentioned several times he would have liked more vertical space. We do put down the table to use as a second bed, so it gets cramped right next to the wall. My husband is about 5'9" so medium height.
I was wondering how she supports herself. Where does she put her dog as she goes grocery shopping? Does she have a secure lock on the hitch when she leaves her house? Nice small ALiner camper. She can use her SUV for additional storage, too. I like the thoughtful alterations (including paint) which makes this space her own. I would not have known she was Latina until she said it. My brother looks Latina but he is Scandinavian & German!! Thanks for the tour!
I chase the cooler weather so Milo stays in the car when I'm shopping, i avoid the heat at all costs! I have a ball lock and lock the hitch. i would also recommend a boot to lock up your wheel but I haven't gotten that yet, haven't felt the need for extra security.
Well... I love what you are doing with one exception. Your intense focus on your latino/latina status feels almost exclusive to any other culture. There is no reason why a "woman of color" is any less safe than any woman traveling alone would be. And the functions you invite us to meet you at sound to exclude many of us that might otherwise be interested in following your work. Again, I highly commend your courage and even your embracing your culture. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if you were more inviting to "women of all colors" it could bring more tiny-living-enthusiasts into your circle. Buena suerte en tus viajes.
Soy español , nací y vivo en España. No sabia que al otro lado de el Atlántico llamáis negro o de color lo que aquí llamamos blanco. I am Spanish, I was born and I live in Spain. I didn't know that on the other side of the Atlantic you call black , what we call white here. Saludos.
In the USA, the term person of color means anybody who isn't white. It could be Indian, African, Mexican, Asian, black, brown, --- anybody except Caucasians with a European ancestry. Here, the government would categorize you as a white Hispanic. Because of the Hispanic part, you could get away with calling yourself a person of color. It's ridiculous.
@@trailrider7046 Hispanics are white with an European ancestry, Caucasic is a person of the Caucaso in the frontier between Europe and Asia, English, Germans and so on, are NOT caucasics, education is really lacking in the USA
@@hesfialtes For decades, "Caucasian" has been the terminology in the US for any white person because it refers to race. In the US it does not refer to ethnicity or geography.
@@trailrider7046 so is the old excuse "is the way it always been", a lie is a lie no matter how many times is repeated, just because a german centuries ago (praise by the nazis actually) get to this false notion, doesn't mean anyone has to keep spreading the lie
I had the very same camper. It was my first camper. Used it for 2 seasons. Then had to sell it due to covid/job situation. Now, I have the trailer I truly wanted. It’s called Casita (the Spirit Deluxe model). I named it Coquí. Has a wet bath and that has been sooo nice for me. I hate using public bathrooms/toilets. I did enjoy my Aliner. Many Casita owners were previously Aliner owners 😊. Mis mejores deseos 👋
Oops..this might be a duplicate. Really like your little home on wheels....like that it can be left behind...but yet dont like that you can't leave quickly....what a conundrum😆...but it's what works for you....definitely need the traveling companion🤗...good company, and extra safety even if he's friendly. A good bark can deter unwanted visitors. Good luck and safe travels young lady!🙋♀️🐕🐕🦺
Hola! Me alegro ver a una Latina en TH-cam, yo compre una una econoline y espero salir finalmente en ella pronto. Yo vivo en la Florida cerca de Orlando y soy de Puerto Rico. Gracias por tu sinceridad como Mujer y Latina acanpando
Qué bueno que alguien comente en español ya que mi inglés es malo Yo sueño o soñaba andar así Viviendo como Nómada pero O ME DA MIEDO O NO SÉ, Es qué estoy Deshabilitada ya qué me amputaron casi media pierna izquierda y aparte estoy en Dialesis Por eso me siento así Más aparte estoy casada con un hombre machista y yo sé qué si le digo qué andemos asi cómo Nómadas me creerá loca El quiere vivir en México pero ahorita la situación es peligrosa y más por dónde nacimos Usted salga a viajar en su Van y me dice cómo le ha ido Al menos alguien más realiza su sueño y es Latino Ojalá hubiera más comunidad latina haciendo esto Cuídese mucho eh?🙏✝️👍☺️😉😘👋👋👋
As a brown Latinx person, it’s always so interesting when a white Latina/o/x feels the need to call themselves a “person of color”. Do they feel like calling themselves white diminishes their Latinidad? Because we come in all shades of skin tone. It’s interesting, because I have a white sibling and we share the same parents, because DNA be like that. My sibling has no problem saying she’s white and addressing colorism. It’s just so interesting to me.
Congratulations you are such an inspiration.beautiful and lovely veideo presentation 👍. cute and beautiful camper van nice ideasuperb decarativ and beautiful arrangment nice settings lovely atmosphere superb veideo presentation new subscriber and friend here mallika Palanisamy take care bye bye see you soon and thanks again
A floating table that can swing between extra prep room or a desk. To an extra place to eat. Personalize it. Ghost has some of the best floating tables for the nomadic lifestyle.
This maybe a bit rich coming from an Indian; the lady is no different from what I would imagine any random American lady would be. The woman of colour bit was thrown as if it has the same weight as it had a few years ago. I genuinely appreciate the way she uses phrases from her mother tongue, honestly! I just come here to get inspired and informed about living on the go on various creative rigs. Each has their own compromises and surprises. I love it. I have begun to detest the American internet due to this overly political language and group-think. Otherwise and awesome video. Huh! It did get me to comment after being subscribed for about a year and a bit.
I think the reason why it was mentioned that she’s a WOC is because tiny living/van life isn’t common within our communities. I have been considering transitioning to van life, so seeing a woman in particular a WOC is nice.
@@marychoppins8140 All the best Mary! I don't want to trivialise the adventurous spirit of the lady. It might be due the fatigue of the politically charged language I see in American news, sports & social media. Everything is political! Your either a Mao loving commie or racist capitalist pig! My family lost people because they were 'coloured people'. I just come here to get edutained about the Overlanding setup I'm saving money for! Sorry if this comes off as insensitive. :)
@@marychoppins8140 it’s a lot more common than u think or give credit so stop your sweeping generalisation about something u obviously know little about... as a black man myself I am sick of the sweeping statement from people like u! There are lots of black and people of colour whatever that means doin van life. More the reason Why wouldn’t we ?? 🤔
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d like to think Van life is open to everyone, regardless of gender or skin color. And, we all have different ways to do things…..
I think it’s great that Luz identifies as a woman of color. And it’s so silly that you all think that in your 18 minutes of watching her in this tour you somehow know better than her who she is and what she has experienced and should identify with. She doesn’t have to have dark tanned skin to be able to have the experience of a non-white woman in this country. She’s a Latina with a first generation American upbringing and cultural experience. I think she’s a badass for starting a Latino hiking group. I’m personally pretty privileged that I grew seeing people that look like me in LL Bean catalogues and was made to feel like the outdoors were filled with people like me. I can’t imagine how much more difficult some of these things would be if I was not made to feel like I fit in or was welcome in the outdoors. Your experience is not hers so don’t pretend like you know who she is better than she does.
@@verdigo5892 I’m personal friends with luz and she doesn’t have anything that is even close to a victim mentality. She wants to be able to be proud of her heritage and her culture without it being a liability to her safety though. But that’s not her reality. And you may not recognize it but that’s because you aren’t her and you don’t have her experience. Your vantage point is not as clear as hers when it comes to what she has experienced. If you can’t admit that then you are willfully ignorant.
@@wildsage Nope. She literally stated she was afraid because she was a woman and then emphasized "woman of color" As if other nomadic folks are all white people out to get her because of it.
@@Scrambler85 what about descendants of native Americans? A huge portion of current Latin America has native heritage. It’s not so simple as “my skin is lighter or darker.” Why do you get to decide where to draw the line on who is and is not white?
I am 70 pulling a tiny came 14ft called RoveLite can’t get it to unhitch most of the time which obviously you can! KUDOS. Enjoyed your tour and perspective enjoy your freedom 🤩

Also thanks for going over the car information. That was super helpful 💕

my husband and I had an ALiner. we hooked it up to our Harley 3 wheeler. traveling from Kentucky we went to Florida, Missippi, dc, California, loved that thing, made traveling so easy and fun.
Adorable. You are. The camper is. Milo is. Hooray for you, making your own path in this world. 👍🏻
We have a Rockwood A-frame trailer. It has a heat pump for the AC, so no unit on the roof. This means rhat we can keep our trailer in our garage and avoid storage fees. Ours is about 1800 lbs and longer.
We bought a metal shelf unit from the Container Store that has drawers that pull out. It sits on a counter space.
My husband also made two bars out of PVC that attach to the sides of the trailer--great for hanging up clothes. This also makes the trailer stronger in case you have a high wind.
There is a national A-liner group, I think. By attending their conference, you would find even more great ideas.
BTW, we did find that you really need to make your trailer level before flipping it up. We use an Anderson leveler for one wheel and we have levels (with the bubbles) attached to three of the sides. A Casita would be easier in this regard, but we can't get that in our garage.
❤️ BEAUTIFUL ❤
Proud of you!
Enjoy Life ~ Be Safe

I was going to subscribe. Because I am Latin but according to people don't look or sound Latin.
But, have never identify as a race but simply as a woman.
I have never, ever, had any racial issue.
I love what you've done with it. The paint job is brilliant! And you are awesome!!
I like the rig, but it’s too small for me.
I like the A frame concept, lightweight, compact when folded up, but I also like to have a bathroom which would be a wet bath in the slightly larger A-Liner LXE.
But, I am also looking at other types of campers and mobile homes too.
And it looks like the young woman in the video has it all under control…..
The traveling A-frame is super amazing 👏 😍.
What colour , you look white and look good too . 🙂
Lovely lady, lovely setup. Having the dog is key. Great idea to paint the unit.
What an adventure you are living. Good for you!! It is great to see so many of you young ladies having the guts to follow your own path. So nice to have the support of your family. As long as you keep your eyes open and be careful meeting new people. Remember they are first, "strangers". Follow your gut feelings, (instincts,) & that will keep you safe. nI think that it is great that you have your dog with you for company and for protection. I enjoyed watching your
channel and will continue to follow
your adventures. Be safe and happy
travels.👍🐕🦺✋
She's soo cool! What a nice place to live in.
This is so cute. I couldn't live in it.. but camping yes!!!
What a cute little camper home!!! Nice job!
Latina hospice caregiver who sleeps in van a lot…Shout out to you… 💜‘s this video. Following you and your group… keep it up…
Milo must be one of the cutest dogs ever!!! If he were my dog I would be so proud of him.
Is my dream one day.
A Latina from PA.
Come this way is a lot of nice places around here.
Dios la bendiga y proteja.
Buen trabajo
Why specify her race???
Quality control is very poor for this brand. Also, quality of materials used is the lowest possible. OSB floor, MDF, etc.
Gorgeous upload friend, sublime editing here. Really relaxing to watch and I bet you enjoyed putting this one together. Simply fantastic channel! 🔥
I noticed the mossy green color of your walls right away. It is so homey! Nice tiny home!
For taller people, the A-frame trailers that have the dormer that folds up on the front would probably work better. Of course, these will be heavier and longer.
I am "vertically challenged" so our smaller Rockwood A-frame is fine, but my husband has mentioned several times he would have liked more vertical space. We do put down the table to use as a second bed, so it gets cramped right next to the wall.
My husband is about 5'9" so medium height.
I was wondering how she supports herself. Where does she put her dog as she goes grocery shopping? Does she have a secure lock on the hitch when she leaves her house? Nice small ALiner camper. She can use her SUV for additional storage, too. I like the thoughtful alterations (including paint) which makes this space her own. I would not have known she was Latina until she said it. My brother looks Latina but he is Scandinavian & German!! Thanks for the tour!
I chase the cooler weather so Milo stays in the car when I'm shopping, i avoid the heat at all costs! I have a ball lock and lock the hitch. i would also recommend a boot to lock up your wheel but I haven't gotten that yet, haven't felt the need for extra security.
@@Luz.lituma Thanks. I enjoyed your tour!
The painted walls really makes a difference. You almost forgot your in a camper when watching. Best Wishes
Cute camper love the setup. Don't understand way you don't use the A/C or get a fan. Thanks fir sharing and be safe.
The AC would use quite a bit of power, but I agree a fan would be useful and practical
I guess I can’t join the group because I’m not Latina
No you can't. You have to live under a tarp and join Tarp Life.
Well... I love what you are doing with one exception. Your intense focus on your latino/latina status feels almost exclusive to any other culture. There is no reason why a "woman of color" is any less safe than any woman traveling alone would be. And the functions you invite us to meet you at sound to exclude many of us that might otherwise be interested in following your work. Again, I highly commend your courage and even your embracing your culture. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if you were more inviting to "women of all colors" it could bring more tiny-living-enthusiasts into your circle. Buena suerte en tus viajes.
I like your little camper. Best wishes stay safe.
I love these Aliner’s. We went with a Casita, and I do love it, but I am still super interested in this brand. I just love everything about it. ❤️
Soy español , nací y vivo en España.
No sabia que al otro lado de el Atlántico llamáis negro o de color lo que aquí llamamos blanco.
I am Spanish, I was born and I live in Spain.
I didn't know that on the other side of the Atlantic you call black , what we call white here.
Saludos.
only in USA they believe hispanic are not white
In the USA, the term person of color means anybody who isn't white. It could be Indian, African, Mexican, Asian, black, brown, --- anybody except Caucasians with a European ancestry.
Here, the government would categorize you as a white Hispanic. Because of the Hispanic part, you could get away with calling yourself a person of color.
It's ridiculous.
@@trailrider7046 Hispanics are white with an European ancestry, Caucasic is a person of the Caucaso in the frontier between Europe and Asia, English, Germans and so on, are NOT caucasics, education is really lacking in the USA
@@hesfialtes For decades, "Caucasian" has been the terminology in the US for any white person because it refers to race. In the US it does not refer to ethnicity or geography.
@@trailrider7046 so is the old excuse "is the way it always been", a lie is a lie no matter how many times is repeated, just because a german centuries ago (praise by the nazis actually) get to this false notion, doesn't mean anyone has to keep spreading the lie
One of the cutest tiny homes I’ve ever seen 😊
So cute and so well thought out.
Luz. I like your little camper and the set up looks cozy your dog Milo gorgeous as well. Enjoy your travels and stay safe xx
The simple life 💕 Congratulations on breaking out of the norm and showing yourself and other a new way of living 😎☀️🌙
Your camper is so cute! Can you tell us how much it cost?
I be very proud of you too.. You living your dreams and I want a van life and looking into it at my old age..
What a lovely little home you have, keep on travelling and enjoying life out in the wild, it’s good to enjoy your home through young eyes. 💗🌸
I had the very same camper. It was my first camper. Used it for 2 seasons. Then had to sell it due to covid/job situation. Now, I have the trailer I truly wanted. It’s called Casita (the Spirit Deluxe model). I named it Coquí. Has a wet bath and that has been sooo nice for me. I hate using public bathrooms/toilets. I did enjoy my Aliner. Many Casita owners were previously Aliner owners 😊. Mis mejores deseos 👋
Oops..this might be a duplicate. Really like your little home on wheels....like that it can be left behind...but yet dont like that you can't leave quickly....what a conundrum😆...but it's what works for you....definitely need the traveling companion🤗...good company, and extra safety even if he's friendly. A good bark can deter unwanted visitors. Good luck and safe travels young lady!🙋♀️🐕🐕🦺
Hola! Me alegro ver a una Latina en TH-cam, yo compre una una econoline y espero salir finalmente en ella pronto. Yo vivo en la Florida cerca de Orlando y soy de Puerto Rico. Gracias por tu sinceridad como Mujer y Latina acanpando
Qué bueno que alguien comente en español ya que mi inglés es malo
Yo sueño o soñaba andar así
Viviendo como Nómada pero O ME DA MIEDO O NO SÉ,
Es qué estoy Deshabilitada ya qué me amputaron casi media pierna izquierda y aparte estoy en Dialesis
Por eso me siento así
Más aparte estoy casada con un hombre machista y yo sé qué si le digo qué andemos asi cómo Nómadas me creerá loca
El quiere vivir en México pero ahorita la situación es peligrosa y más por dónde nacimos
Usted salga a viajar en su Van y me dice cómo le ha ido
Al menos alguien más realiza su sueño y es Latino
Ojalá hubiera más comunidad latina haciendo esto
Cuídese mucho eh?🙏✝️👍☺️😉😘👋👋👋
As a brown Latinx person, it’s always so interesting when a white Latina/o/x feels the need to call themselves a “person of color”. Do they feel like calling themselves white diminishes their Latinidad? Because we come in all shades of skin tone. It’s interesting, because I have a white sibling and we share the same parents, because DNA be like that. My sibling has no problem saying she’s white and addressing colorism. It’s just so interesting to me.
You have a great setup. Respect! 👍👍
BTW: Love the interior paint job. Sweet!
What a strong & wise & brave lady
You looks like my friend & please don't forget to bring any self defense
In your gorgeous tiny home.
Great video young lady 😃👊🏾
Congratulations you are such an inspiration.beautiful and lovely veideo presentation 👍. cute and beautiful camper van nice ideasuperb decarativ and beautiful arrangment nice settings lovely atmosphere superb veideo presentation new subscriber and friend here mallika Palanisamy take care bye bye see you soon and thanks again
It’s gorgeous and I love what you did with the color!
You are an inspiration! Thanks for showing us how to use an a-frame. I never would have considered one but now I would.
It's awesome! I love the paint for sure. Your a beautiful person and God bless you 🙂
Even when you have a nice tent, it is hard camping all the time.
A floating table that can swing between extra prep room or a desk. To an extra place to eat. Personalize it. Ghost has some of the best floating tables for the nomadic lifestyle.
Love the green. Very nice.
I love your camper!
Nice video. Thank you.
Lovely to see how independent, smart and sweet is she! a 100% role model 🤗
Love this! Thank you! I have a jayco hybrid but I really like your a-frame set-up!
There are many videos on those A-frames leaking.
This maybe a bit rich coming from an Indian; the lady is no different from what I would imagine any random American lady would be. The woman of colour bit was thrown as if it has the same weight as it had a few years ago. I genuinely appreciate the way she uses phrases from her mother tongue, honestly! I just come here to get inspired and informed about living on the go on various creative rigs. Each has their own compromises and surprises. I love it. I have begun to detest the American internet due to this overly political language and group-think. Otherwise and awesome video. Huh! It did get me to comment after being subscribed for about a year and a bit.
I think the reason why it was mentioned that she’s a WOC is because tiny living/van life isn’t common within our communities. I have been considering transitioning to van life, so seeing a woman in particular a WOC is nice.
@@marychoppins8140 All the best Mary! I don't want to trivialise the adventurous spirit of the lady. It might be due the fatigue of the politically charged language I see in American news, sports & social media. Everything is political! Your either a Mao loving commie or racist capitalist pig!
My family lost people because they were 'coloured people'.
I just come here to get edutained about the Overlanding setup I'm saving money for!
Sorry if this comes off as insensitive. :)
I’m in total agreement with 👏🏽👏🏽
@@marychoppins8140 it’s a lot more common than u think or give credit so stop your sweeping generalisation about something u obviously know little about... as a black man myself I am sick of the sweeping statement from people like u!
There are lots of black and people of colour whatever that means doin van life.
More the reason Why wouldn’t we ?? 🤔
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d like to think Van life is open to everyone, regardless of gender or skin color.
And, we all have different ways to do things…..
I think it’s great that Luz identifies as a woman of color. And it’s so silly that you all think that in your 18 minutes of watching her in this tour you somehow know better than her who she is and what she has experienced and should identify with. She doesn’t have to have dark tanned skin to be able to have the experience of a non-white woman in this country. She’s a Latina with a first generation American upbringing and cultural experience. I think she’s a badass for starting a Latino hiking group. I’m personally pretty privileged that I grew seeing people that look like me in LL Bean catalogues and was made to feel like the outdoors were filled with people like me. I can’t imagine how much more difficult some of these things would be if I was not made to feel like I fit in or was welcome in the outdoors. Your experience is not hers so don’t pretend like you know who she is better than she does.
Yeah. It's just great going through life with a chip on your shoulder, and a I'm a victim mentality.
@@verdigo5892 I’m personal friends with luz and she doesn’t have anything that is even close to a victim mentality. She wants to be able to be proud of her heritage and her culture without it being a liability to her safety though. But that’s not her reality. And you may not recognize it but that’s because you aren’t her and you don’t have her experience. Your vantage point is not as clear as hers when it comes to what she has experienced. If you can’t admit that then you are willfully ignorant.
@@wildsage Nope. She literally stated she was afraid because she was a woman and then emphasized "woman of color" As if other nomadic folks are all white people out to get her because of it.
@@Scrambler85 what about descendants of native Americans? A huge portion of current Latin America has native heritage. It’s not so simple as “my skin is lighter or darker.” Why do you get to decide where to draw the line on who is and is not white?
@@Scrambler85 He's just simping. Thinks he's coming to her rescue.
I am 70 pulling a tiny came 14ft called RoveLite can’t get it to unhitch most of the time which obviously you can! KUDOS. Enjoyed your tour and perspective enjoy your freedom 🤩
