- I interview Dionne of @DionnesGlampingJourneyy at a women’s van life meetup in Florida.
I love how she flies into places (like the recent RTR in Quartzsite, Arizona where I was too), rents a van and buys whatever she needs that she didn’t bring in her 50 pounds of luggage.
She has a bed, a fridge, a shower, a toilet, a fan, all her makeup and everything she needs to glamp in style in her passenger van.
See Dionne on her own channel here: / @dionnesglampingjourneyy
You know, I think one of the best things about van life videos is the camaraderie among the women.
I couldn't agree more! 😊 The sense of community and support among women in van life is truly special. It’s amazing how we all share experiences, tips, and encouragement with one another.
Joy, I think that’s one of the best things about women living Van life! I was telling a woman last night that I have had more joyful connections, deep conversations, and the delight of meeting more wonderful new women in the last two weeks of my current journey than I have in the last 10 years of my life. It’s incredible.
@@mylifeinavan That makes my heart smile. 😊
🧡🧡🧡
@@mylifeinavanThat's wonderful to hear. Look out for each other. I admire you guys. Sisterhood of the Van!😉❤❤❤
Dionne is a natural beauty!
Aw, thank you so much! 😊 That really means a lot to me! You made my day with that compliment! 💖
Totally agree!
This is what i really enjoy about watching videos of ladies doing van life, seeing how they turn their vans into their homes. It's fascinating. I admire these women for living their lives the way they want to. Just packing up and going off to see the country! Please take precautions! God bless you and keep you safe always🙏🏾❤
Renee, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your comment. Do you also have a desire to try this?
Dione you’re a beautiful woman. Made up or not beautiful comes from within. Your smile and positivity is infectious. Hope to meet you one day at Lulu’s meetup. Stay blessed.
🧡🧡🧡
Ladies, ladies, ladies, you are all beautiful. I love the fun that you all are having.
It IS fun! Having a blast.
Great video Natalie and Dionne
Thank you so much! 😊 We had a great time making it, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Huge thanks to Natalie for being such a great collaborator! 💖
Sheila, thanks! Shooting videos together can be a great way to get started doing something that can be scary.
Hope you have a great day today. Great meeting you. I'm on my way to Vero, Juniper or similar beach ⛱️🏖️.
Sheila, have fun!
She is sooo beautiful with out make up❤❤❤
I totally agree!
Great video ladies, and great idea. As a family we use to do just that, fly or drive to a destination point, pickup an RV and then go on vacation. One year we flew to New York, rented an RV, and then camped at my favorite places where I grew up. We did that for our Utah and Oregon trip. Good times. But great idea Dionne had for her Van trip. 👍
Sounds like you had some really fun times with your family traveling in your rented RV. Thanks for your comment!
Wow, that sounds like such amazing experiences! 😍 It’s such a great way to travel! I’m so glad you liked the idea for the van trip. Wishing you many more awesome trips and memories! 🌟🚐"
🧡🧡🧡
This was one of the best camping van tours I've seen, who knew you could do this in a rental. Very inspired.
Wow, thank you! I so appreciate your comment Theresa.
@@mylifeinavan Oh also, I subscribed! You project such positivity on your vids...all the best going forward.
Theresa, thank you so much!
❤ This is a great share! You two are awesome ladies and very natural in your beauty, because it comes from within to shine in your personality! 👍
I would love to see a comparison of renting a vehicle for a trip, including the flight, versus trying to drive your own vehicle. I like the fact that a break down on the road would definitely be handled differently.
Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thank you for your uplifting feedback!
The cost comparison would be determined by the number of miles and the miles per gallon and the cost of gas.
So let’s say you get 25 miles per gallon and you drive 2500 miles. That would mean you need to buy 100 gallons of gas.
If gas is three dollars a gallon, that’s $300.
Plus you would want to factor in your time, which could take maybe eight days and the food and possibly camping costs during those eight days. And that’s just one way, so you would have to multiply that times two.
I like the question and I’ll suggest to Dionne that she do some calculations and share them on her TH-cam channel. I think it would be very interesting.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 I love your idea about comparing the cost of renting a vehicle vs. driving your own-it's such an interesting topic. I’ll probably do a cost analysis on my channel in a future video, so stay tuned! Thanks again for the great suggestion!
🧡🧡🧡
Great van tour of Dionne’s van. You girls are awesome!! Good job Natalie!
Mary, thank you for your uplifting and encouraging comments. 🧡🧡🧡
Awe, I love that Lulu's was her first. I introduced LuLu to meet ups. She attended my 2nd meet-up. ❤
That's so awesome! 💖 It’s amazing how Lulu has been part of your meet-ups, and it sounds like such a great way to connect. Thanks for sharing that, and I love hearing how these connections grow! 😊
That is so cool Debbieean! I wanna Lead to meet up out west.
Super video. Loved it!
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! 😊 We had an absolute blast making it, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
🧡🧡🧡
Looks like you’re having a blast!!
😊 I had an absolute blast shooting the video with Natalie she made me feel so comfortable on camera! It was such a fun experience, and I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
I admit that I thoroughly enjoy every Van tour I do and getting to know each woman. That said, doing this video with Dionne was a blast. You were right in seeing that.
Dionne you are beautiful without makeup. Love your happy attitude.
Nancy, I’ll let her know you said this!
@@mylifeinavan okay, it looks like you ladies are having a great time. Of course, you always look wonderful.
Aw, thank you so much! 😊 That really means a lot to me! I try to keep a positive vibe, and it’s so nice to hear that it comes across. You made my day! 💖
🧡🧡🧡
I really am loving your videos!
Rachel that totally warms my heart.🧡🧡🧡
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Thank you for your kind words. Blessings right back at you.
Dionne is a joy; it really could make sense to rent a car and buy a few things rather than drive for 1000s of miles, especially if one has limited time to get away, or doesn't want to put wear/tear on one's own vehicle. Curious on the tips she might have for securing a reasonable rental.
Thank you so much! 😊 You’re absolutely right renting a car and picking up a few essentials can definitely be a great option if you're short on time or want to avoid the wear and tear on your own vehicle. I actually use Turo to rent vehicles instead of traditional rental car companies, it’s been a game changer for finding a variety of options at great prices! I’d be happy to share more tips on how I find reasonable rentals, let me know if you’d like more details! 🚗
Dionne, this would be a terrific video for you to shoot because it is a natural next question, but I had too!
It really does make sense. Now that I have seen it in action, I think I could do it too. A very inspiring vid.
So glad you realize you could do it too after seeing it in action. I love how we inspire each other.
Toured the Pacific Northwest and Yellowstone this way. Checked the bags with all i needed to camp in the rental van. Look for cheap flights and car deals; roam from there. Tip...try and get a rental with a local license plate
That sounds like you had an amazing trip! 😍And thank you for the great tip about getting a rental with a local license plate! I actually rent from Turo, so the vehicles' are privately owned and local to the state I rent them in. Thanks for sharing your experience! 🚐
AuntyPatty, do you recommend the local license plate for safety? So you don’t stick out as a rental car?
How fun. Natalie you did a fantastic job. Dionne. Is just beautiful and an inspiration as well. See you next time.
Thanks so much, Pamela!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Natalie, you did a fantastic job as both an interviewer and editor. 😊
Dionne, thank you. It’s really fun for me, the shooting, the interviewing and the editing. And I know there’s so much more to learn. Good thing I enjoy it.
Nice no build/build! Great video!
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you liked it! 🚐
Isn’t she great! Glad you enjoyed the video.
she has a great idea on renting and just buy as you go to save time and money on travel
I agree. She’s brilliant!
