No offense to the guest speaker but accidentally read "wonderful prostitute..." instead of "wonderful positive attitude". Didn't sleep so well and words 'tend to mesh together. This video was intetesting to watch!
Definitely want this life style, I am on Social Security, an older person, divorced hispanic...l have nothing, no kids, no bills, no house.... This is so encouraging😁.... Thank you, thank you!! Great interview.
You sound like me! I bought a 16 ft Ameri-lite last September. Then the corona virus happen so this summer I’m working out the bugs and it’s a learning experience.
I’m encouraged too ... I want to get a van. I’m an older white lady w no kids, but have a crazy childhood so I do fear that I might attract bad things at times ... but this is so educational and encouraging.
Hi Carolyn, I want to thank you so very much for taking the time to talk with me about real issues and real experiences, that some of us may encounter as we journey through life. I sincerely appreciate you, your support, and encouragement. I enjoyed sharing with you and your friendlies. It was great and a welcomed opportunity. You're a true trooper and trailblazer. Just bare with me I'm still warming up to the camera, and learning how to manuever on TH-cam. "newbie" LOL. Hopefully, I'll become a pro "pronista" like you. See you down the road dear friend. So keep it moving...keep it simple...keep it real!!
Ms. J. you were fantastic on camera! And thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your experiences and your perspective. This was the most meaningful interview I've watched regarding life on the road.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I am truly grateful! I am a single, African American woman RVer. I am just hitting the road and this is always on my mind...unfortunately. But this episode has instilled me with confidence! Plus my few stops (at RV parks), everyone has been truly welcoming!
Awesome. I am so glad to read that this video helped you and that your travels have been nothing but great so far. I wish you many more happy and carefree miles!
Thank you kindly! I just met Crystal Vanner in person! I pray that I get to meet you next! I’m not sure about a channel yet, but as I learn from you all, I rule nothing out!
Gotta love women in cowgirl hats!!!! Carolyn I so enjoyed this interview. What a lovely lady Ms J is. She truly is happy with her life. Who knew a little trailer could be so cozy. Someday soon I will make it to the RTR and hope I can meet all of you. Have fun, be safe. Jan
Great interview. Ms J, if you are reading this, hello and thank you for relating your experiences. I know you two helped people with this talk. And maybe raised awareness, too. Brava!
Ms J seems like an extraordinarily person. To be honest, going into this video, I really didn’t know what to expect. I have to say that I really enjoyed her, she is doing what she wants to do and loving it. How many people can say that that’s what they are doing. She seems very friendly, smart, and happy. Carolyn, thanks for introducing Ms J to us. Safe travels to both of you.
I'm living vicariously watching these videos of Strong Fearless Solo RV Sistas! Tk U for ur courage-I can't wait to become part of the Fabulous SOLO Women RV Tribe! Happy Trails! Tks MsJ-Ive subscribe to ur channel. Love the hats! Awesome!
On a brighter note, thank you for interviewing J. It was a good interview and good to see her again. I subscribed to her channel and look forward to her videos.
yes it's very sad in this country that if you are african american that you have to be conscious of where you are in America and the police still treat us differently...very sad indeed...and yes you have to smile a lot so you are not threatening to others, thanks Carolyn for doing this
I love how you both address the marginalization issues that are so sore in our country. It's so needed. May our alternative community continue to become a beacon during such dark times. And what's powerful about all this is that you're helping to build a huge growing community with a foundation of love and acceptance despite color, ability, orientation etc. Beautiful work by two beautiful women!
And that harassment is just as wrong. Why be suspicious of a stranger when they have done nothing suspicious? Being suspected simple for being was never the point of the police to be formed.
@@applepiebetty You right but that's the way a lot of people think, also people look at other's like some frm another world and that's not good. But we all need to do something about it, not figthing not talking nasty etc. God bless you always
Interesting interview. Do more of these, please! I’m paranoid about trailers though, since it’d be harder to escape a bad or scary situation in the middle of night.
Yes, I shot a video about choosing a vehicle to live in .. should be coming up in a week or two. if you haven't already subbed, please do so and click the bell to get notified.. It's going to be a helpful video , i think!
Thank you Carolyn for interviewing Jay. She is delightful. A resourceful lady. I am a black woman also getting ready for the mobile life. Attitude and common sense seems to be the thing
I too saw Bob interview Ms J. Loved her then and still do. I am going to subscribe right now. Ms J, I think when you find your TH-cam groove you will quickly gain many fans. Thanks for a great interview Carolyn.
Besides you Carolyn, Ms J is the other female I wholly admire. I saw her interview on Bob's channel last year, and she inspired me to begin pursuing a job transporting RV's. I am hoping to be able to get out there soon.... but it is a process that you have to prepare for. From getting your driving requirements in line, to getting the electronic equipment gathered....and finding a decent tow vehicle and the equipment to do that..... thank you for this interview.... what a completely charming lady she is...and you both seemed to have a great chemistry together..... it really was one of the most valuable videos you have put out on your channel and I am truly grateful you did it. Safe travels to you, and keep on keeping on my friend !!
Hi Laura. I am the one who is inspired to read your comment & to know that the information I've shared could possibly inspired someone else. So thank you. I look forward to sharing my transport experiences on YT. So people can really see how it's done & not just talk about it.
Ms. J.... I am really looking forward to your channel launch !! I’m sure I’m going to get some wonderful information from your videos ... as well as enjoying your lively personality ! Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your wisdom, experience, and knowledge! I’m truly in awe of you! I hope once I’m out there I have the opportunity to meet you ! In the meantime, safe travels! Keep on keeping on Ms J !!
I remember her from Bob's channel. This lady is awesome! Nice to see J is still doing what she does. One day, when I get my chance to do this, I hope to boondock with both of you!
pepperpepperpepper, I've learned that people see what they want to see and believe what they want - even when contrary evidence is biting them in the nose. You you seem to want to believe that Ms. J has ulterior motives regardless of all the evidence proving otherwise. And you seem adamant in insuring others to believe your falsehoods, for that reason I've deleted your comment and blocked you. We aren't here to prove ourselves to people who want to see the worst in others, we are here to help those who want it. Peace
pepper - "the consensus of the comments' said that her 'claimed income is unattainable'. This statement is so funny. So, a bunch of people sitting at home behind computers watching videos should be believed over someone who is actually DOING IT... ??? "Many SUSPECTED" she was recruiting" - so to prove my point in my previous comment, I am not going to condone or allow you to spread false info based on the suspicions of people sitting on the sidelines who have nothing better to do than criticize real people, with real courage to go live their dreams. And I'm really sorry you are falling victim to that mentality.
I just wanted to say I've been watching various nomadic living blogs, (I'm working on getting a Skoolie) and I found Bob's channel and Carolyn's channel and then I found you Ms. J interviewed on both and WOW, I really enjoyed listening to your interview about towing motor homes. I'm seriously going to look into this! So thank you! ^_^
Hi Ms. J. You are such a lovely soul. I love your job as transporting RV's. I too have a C.D.L. I had a ex-boyfriend with I co-drove a rig. I got sick of that world. I dumped him because he was driving a 40,000 ton rig and high as a kite, Almost killed some people in Dallas, TX. Still have my C.D.L. Your such a inspiration. I might rent one of the big motorhome's with the airbrakes. Thank you Ms. J for giving me a great idea to drive again in a better setting.
Omg! Thank You so much for this interview! The dialogue between you two was so awesome..and Ms J you are so kind and gracious..so proud that you are my chocolicious sister hugs.. Thanks you so much for agreeing to do the interview and Carolyn..thank you for seeing the importance of a discussion such as this..u are the best..hugs..
Talking to people and understanding their experiences, so we can come to fear less. Carolyn, your insight and philosophy is of the highest degree of sanity and love of humanity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here and doing what you do.
What a great life story. Its a blessing that she found a way to travel while earning a living. Thank you for sharing some of your time with her with all of us in You Tube land :) Happy and safe travels to you both.
I really enjoyed your video with MS. J. I recently saw her interview with Bob and it opened a whole new vista of opportunity for me. Since then I have been researching RV transporting and am looking forward to doing it myself. I love your channel, your interviews, and especially the way you take us on the road with you. Keep up the good work. Be safe, free, and happy. You really are kind.
Ms J this OKLAHOMA caucasion gal hopes we meet someday. And you too Carolyn-This is a great interview and subject matter with Ms J is most needed. HAPPY TRAILS and safe journeys to you both. Jp
Carolyn used POC in her Title, because she wanted those POC, that have asked her questions, to know that this was that topic. Don't judge till you see the the conversation to the end. Chill peeps.
Ms. J is absolutely AWESOME! Please, please have her back on soon! She is a whirlwind of information and wonderful stories. BTW, your hair looks WONDERFUL in this vlog. It frames your face very nicely. --Dave
Wow great interview I don't know why I'm just seeing this Carolyn, but I did see Miss J on Bobs channel before. Very brave, just really good to hear her perspective as well as yours and the bravery of doing it. Con-Grad Ladies.🤗
Most informative RV person on youtube that I've found so far. Thank you! Just watched your video from when your generator was giving you trouble and found it helpful bc I'm looking into the difference between used rvs and financing one
Thank you so much for sharing this interview! I was one of the African American women who had asked about safety. I am hoping to convert a van so that I can get to some of the teaching hospitals in search of help for my illness (Neuro-Sarcoidosis) but if it can't be found I just want to see some of the beautiful country that is my home before it steals my ability to see it. I am in the golden years of my life at 52 and have never been on vacation and my hope is to see both you one day soon. Again thank you both!
I just love the energy that J exudes! How can I have her as my friend? 😀. Thank you Carolyn for bringing us this excellent interview on a sensitive topic. Great job!
Great video Carolyn and Ms J. I recall a road trip to upstate New York with a friend and we stopped at a convenience shop to get sodas and lottery. We walked in and EVERYONE in the store stopped talking and stared at us. We said hi and got what we wanted then I went to get a lottery ticket and they asked to see my ID. It was an experience I’ll tell ya and it definitely rubbed me the wrong way. But it wasn’t the first encounter and it won’t be the last unfortunately. And I’m about to be 52!
In my opinion, that I.D. stunt is pulled by bigots who want to 'flex' on people of color and demonstrate some nonexistent type of power over them. I saw it happen first-hand to my mother once in a convenience store and it was laughable considering she was clearly a mature woman. She is a woman of color, the person doing it was a White guy. I was very angry and shocked that this sort of thing happened. And yep it also happened in Upstate NY. WTH is up with that? I would love to buy an RV at some point in the future, and it's kinda important to know how the race issue enters into RV traveling...in case family comes along with me, I want to know the perceptions, attitudes and behavior of some people out there. Knowledge is always useful. I've always thought that small towns can foster ignorance. When one group of people predominantly makes up the demographics of a place, and there is little interaction w/different ethnicities and cultures, it can lead to shockingly simple-minded even dangerous attitudes towards what some will view as "difference".
What a great interview with such an awesome lady. She would be fun to boondock with. Sounds like such a fun job transporting. GIRL POWER. You two were are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you both
MsJ's TravelVentures Thank you Ms J. It would be wonderful to cross paths in the future. I have taken a big step today in making positive changes in my life. My dream is to be out on the road but have to do some difficult things to get there. Not ready to discuss it but it was a very heart wrenching day but for the right reasons. Children must always be safe. God bless you. I so admire you. Happy travels and safe travels to you. God will protect us all.
I agree, I wish everyone thought like you, but unfortunately, we aren't there yet and it DOES matter to many people. And IMO that's why we need to keep having these conversations. Nothing ever changed through denial.
Loved the video Carolyn. This year seems to have brought about a change in the RV community . I hope this will be ongoing and not just for Black History Month. This is literally my first time seeing people of color on some of y'all's channels.
Hi J and Carolyn! So great to see you both here. Believe it or not, I’m picking up the RTR documentary project again and will keep you updated. Wish I could have made it to RTR this year; I heard it was awesome!
I love love when women come together and share their experiences, it's just magical thing to do but even better if you come travel buddies so you can protect each other. Power to the women !
Great interview! Thank you, Carolyn, for talking about a subject so pertinent to our society today. Video was nicely done, easy to understand both of you, nice setting too! I also saw Bob's interview with J.
I am waiting for the day we can be called women, period! Or maybe just humans?? I cannot understand how we are labeled, I am a 63 year old women and that is just who I am! Thank you for this video.......it needs to go viral!
I would even leave out the age and sex/gender labels. Damn people, we are all just a multi-hue-colored species labeled as human beings on this plane for a very, yes short, finite period of time. I am not denying that some people want to label us and treat us by their defined labels but we validate that when we acknowledge it and attribute their actions to the label. As soon as we recognize that we all belong to the same species, and don't validate otherwise, we will understand that we are one and the same.
This is simply the result of the hundreds of years that white people labeled themselves as superior and believed they were entitled to more and better simply because they were white. This has been passed down from generation to generation and continues to show itself in the racism of today. They saw everyone else as inferior. So when people who aren't white begin to say "wait just a doggone minute", They proudly point out that they aren't white but are entitled to the same things white people are. If you can't understand this, I would bet you are white and have benefited from being white without ever knowing it. Walk a mile in their shoes and maybe you might begin to understand.
I didn't get pulled over for having my high beams on, but I did get pulled over by a state trooper for flashing my lights at him at dusk to get him to turn his headlights on, as I could barely see him coming at me on the highway. I was a young guy with long hair in a 20 year old Ford Falcon. He did a full safety inspection on the side of the road trying to find something wrong so he could write me up. After wasting twenty minutes of my time and making me late to the drive in theatre, he had to let me go. I think it irked him that I was more safety conscious than he was.
Thank you both for great content in this video. We do all have our own experiences. I worked construction for many years when I was young and I know that feeling of having to prove myself and be non-threatening. Now that I am old and not so thin anymore and I've always liked wearing my jeans and t-shirt, I get followed around in stores sometimes and when I've just been parked looking at my phone I've been asked if I was homeless, and in other places I've been mistaken for day laborer someone was looking for. I like what Ms J said about "killing them with kindness" and "projecting an attitude that you want reflected back at you," that has been my own attitude. I am looking forward to watching Ms J's channel and thank you Carolyn for sharing the link!
I can't tell you how much this video has touched my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You ROCK Carolyn. Thank you for introducing Ms. J and her youtube channel and her story. Honestly, I've been concerned about safety while considering boondocking as a minority. I will continue to follow your journey and I'm looking forward to leaving the sticks and bricks behind and attending the RTR next year where all are welcomed.
Carolyn Thank You for this video as a Couple of color we are currently retired buying our first class C motorhome. We have been following yourself and others on TH-cam for the last year learning enjoying every one's journey. Truthfully we were discussing as we get ready to start our journey what challenges would we meet being a couple of color. Your video was very good for us at this right time. I do remember seeing her on Bob's channel she a very nice person. Thank You again
I really enjoyed this video, it was a great interview, and I look forward to following Ms. J's youtube channel! Responding to the poll: White woman here, and I drive cross country twice every year for my job. I have done this for several years. I also only have a rear license plate. I have never gotten pulled over for that, or highbeams, or driving in left lane. I've only been pulled over once in 10 years and that was for speeding (which I was :-/
So inspiring. I am a 60+ woman of color. I take care of my sister and am planning to convert a mini school bus and be on road before and during my retirement! Love it!
Carolyn, great video and super interview! This "Solo Woman" was very informative and articulate. Thank you, Ms. J. for sharing your observation, your experience and your passion for serving others. Stay safe out there!
I understand so well! When you give of yourself, you're really boosting the person you are from within. Happy is what happy does and it shows! Thanks you again for sharing.
I want to commend you Carolyn on this video. I love the way that both of you ladies handled this delicate topic of concern to so many people. As always wonderful video, keep up the great work!
Great interview...love this. I would love to do that.. I'm a CDL driver and have been for over 20 years so I'm definitely going to check that out to see what's available.. thank you so much for sharing
Yes Jay does have such a great upper beautiful lady. Such a sweetie. What a shame Jay was pulled over. I have never been pulled over for any of those reasons. This is a crying shame. We are all equal. That saddens me so much. I'm so sorry Jay. No I have never been asked if I was arrested before.
Kathy, your reply warms my heart. I was hoping to just shed some light on the matter to show how we all exist but exist verrrrrry differently. It is unfortunate because it reveals that we no longer see through the eyes of a child, non-judgemental.
Ms. J. You are such a delightful lady. I wish you nothing but goodness in all your travels and life. If only everyone could see people through the eyes of children. We are all people and we all have hearts. If only we could all learn to be kind and treat each other with respect. I so enjoyed meeting you through U-Tube. Be safe and enjoy your beautiful trailer home. It's so darn cute. I love you statement regarding you get back what you put out to others. This is so important. Does not always work but most of the time it sure does. Your so right on Miss J
Thank you, Carolyn, for another unique video that shines a light on a topic that doesn’t get addressed much. And thank you for using a video title that pulls attention to this topic. Watching RV full-timer videos, I often wonder, “so where are the people of African, Asian, Hispanic, Islamic and other heritages?” I have a friend who was born in Silicon Valley and her parents are Vietnamese immigrants. She doesn’t feel comfortable going camping and traveling in rural areas of California because of racism. I applaud J’s courage and independence. Her friendly approach is so smart. It’s important for white people to appreciate that traveling around the US and moving around especially unfamiliar places as a person who is not white, can present some difficult and unfair challenges. It’s 2018 and it’s embarrassing and shameful to me that the US as a country hasn’t moved past racism. I remember J’s interview with Bob when she talked about transporting RVs. Kudos to her for living a traveler’s life. Travelers meeting other travelers I know Is full of very gratifying experiences. 💕
Hi, I just subbed to Ms. J's channel from watching this video. She is a bright, happy young women. Who cares about color, care about a person's personality! Everyone is a unique individual human and what we project out to the world will always attract the same back to us! Thanks for the video.
I was so glad to have seen this video. we are really wanting to go full time in 2020 but was very unsure of the safety issue with me and my wife being black people. there are wonderful places to visit and see that are off grid. we especially loved your Alaskan series,it was just wonderful. We would like to have those same experiences and really enjoy the outdoors and all the adventures it has to offer. like I said we are looking at 2020 as our launch year. we are excited but realistically we are cautious also. take care we love your videos and the nomad life.
Mike, I for one look forward to seeing more people of color on the road! Every year we see more and more at the RTR and it's a beautiful thing!! Glad this helped you and happy travels to you and your wife! Carolyn
Very inspiring and enlightening to hear what Ms J has to deal with driving thru small town America has an African American. We have so much to learn from each other. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I just watched the new update with Bob & Ms J, I am doing this 4 sure! in truck school now have 4 weeks to go to get my CDL. So inspiring! love you guys hopefully I can finally meet you all next year 2019 is my year ladies!
Loved the interview, but just wanted to mention that it's not a good idea to drive with bright lights on in fog because the glare can make visibility worse. I was a professional driver for many years and experienced negative reactions from some people just because I was female. I hope that situation has improved.
I understand what she is saying when people assume she shouldn't afford the rv. I am new this and went into a rv sales place to look around and ask questions he was immediately dismissive of me.
Thank you both, ladies, for your honesty and candidness on these issues. It's so important that we can have these conversations in a non threatening manner. Your both really awesome. Shedding light, opening hearts, educating us. Nothing but love.
I just wanted to say that I don't own an RV, never did, but am very intrigued by your lifestyle so I have subscribed to your channel and keep loving watching your vids. I am learning a ton! Thanks and stay safe out there! Keep making great vids!
👍Such a smart nice lady, with a wonderful positive attitude & sunny disposition. The world needs more of that! 🤗💞🤗

We as people of color are so annoyed and tired of the RACIAL PROFILING in America. This is why we march and protest...
Thank you for covering this topic in such a thoughtful and considerate way---learned a lot, inspiring!
What a wonderful Woman!!!!
Great interview and thanks for being brave enough to breach to "color" issue. Jay sounds like a lovely person.

And what's powerful about all this is that you're helping to build a huge growing community with a foundation of love and acceptance despite color, ability, orientation etc. Beautiful work by two beautiful women!

From getting your driving requirements in line, to getting the electronic equipment gathered....and finding a decent tow vehicle and the equipment to do that.....

And you seem adamant in insuring others to believe your falsehoods, for that reason I've deleted your comment and blocked you. We aren't here to prove ourselves to people who want to see the worst in others, we are here to help those who want it. Peace
pepper - "the consensus of the comments' said that her 'claimed income is unattainable'. This statement is so funny. So, a bunch of people sitting at home behind computers watching videos should be believed over someone who is actually DOING IT... ??? "Many SUSPECTED" she was recruiting" - so to prove my point in my previous comment, I am not going to condone or allow you to spread false info based on the suspicions of people sitting on the sidelines who have nothing better to do than criticize real people, with real courage to go live their dreams. And I'm really sorry you are falling victim to that mentality.
I just wanted to say I've been watching various nomadic living blogs, (I'm working on getting a Skoolie) and I found Bob's channel and Carolyn's channel and then I found you Ms. J interviewed on both and WOW, I really enjoyed listening to your interview about towing motor homes. I'm seriously going to look into this! So thank you! ^_^
Very respectful and helpful video. Ms J is a groundbreaker, first woman on color interviewed on CheapRVLiving. Good contextual video.
Kathi, thank you. "Groundbreaker" sounds like big shoes to fill. LOL.
Hi Ms. J. You are such a lovely soul. I love your job as transporting RV's. I too have a C.D.L. I had a ex-boyfriend with I co-drove a rig. I got sick of that world. I dumped him because he was driving a 40,000 ton rig and high as a kite, Almost killed some people in Dallas, TX. Still have my C.D.L. Your such a inspiration. I might rent one of the big motorhome's with the airbrakes. Thank you Ms. J for giving me a great idea to drive again in a better setting.
I've really enjoyed Crystal Vanner's videos.
Great vid! Thank you Carolyn and Ms. J.
Omg! Thank You so much for this interview! The dialogue between you two was so awesome..and Ms J you are so kind and gracious..so proud that you are my chocolicious sister hugs..
Thanks you so much for agreeing to do the interview and Carolyn..thank you for seeing the importance of a discussion such as this..u are the best..hugs..
You both are beautiful, courageous, and strong. God bless your travels!😊
Excellent interview with Ms. J and Carolyn I completely thank you for this frank discussion.
Talking to people and understanding their experiences, so we can come to fear less.
Carolyn, your insight and philosophy is of the highest degree of sanity and love of humanity.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here and doing what you do.
What a great life story. Its a blessing that she found a way to travel while earning a living. Thank you for sharing some of your time with her with all of us in You Tube land :) Happy and safe travels to you both.
Uncle mo, it was my pleasure.
Thank you for the interview.
I will be out there soon. Nice interview. It's good to see a sister out there. This was of concern for me.
Chelle, we all gotta start somewhere and just gotta do it. Its taken me 5 years to start a YT channel and I finally got the nerve to do it.
Your not alone, lots of women are out there. Browse TH-cam and you will see more and more women flying solo. Just be safe.
Ms. J. Congratulations on your channel! I will check you out! 🌟
Tamara Weber I’m excited to see what the journey brings me.... 🙌🏽
Chelle Carey , hope we run into out there.
I really enjoyed your video with MS. J. I recently saw her interview with Bob and it opened a whole new vista of opportunity for me. Since then I have been researching RV transporting and am looking forward to doing it myself. I love your channel, your interviews, and especially the way you take us on the road with you. Keep up the good work. Be safe, free, and happy. You really are kind.
Ms J this OKLAHOMA caucasion gal hopes we meet someday. And you too Carolyn-This is a great interview and subject matter with Ms J is most needed. HAPPY TRAILS and safe journeys to you both. Jp
Carolyn used POC in her Title, because she wanted those POC, that have asked her questions, to know that this was that topic. Don't judge till you see the the conversation to the end. Chill peeps.
you rock Vicki! thank you.
Ms. J is absolutely AWESOME! Please, please have her back on soon! She is a whirlwind of information and wonderful stories.
BTW, your hair looks WONDERFUL in this vlog. It frames your face very nicely. --Dave
hello Ms J. thanks for the inspiration. maybe one day i will meet you and Carolyn at the RTR. God Bless you both.
Wow great interview I don't know why I'm just seeing this Carolyn, but I did see Miss J on Bobs channel before. Very brave, just really good to hear her perspective as well as yours and the bravery of doing it. Con-Grad Ladies.🤗
totaly awesome interview carolynn.
Most informative RV person on youtube that I've found so far. Thank you! Just watched your video from when your generator was giving you trouble and found it helpful bc I'm looking into the difference between used rvs and financing one
Thank you so much for sharing this interview! I was one of the African American women who had asked about safety.
I am hoping to convert a van so that I can get to some of the teaching hospitals in search of help for my illness (Neuro-Sarcoidosis) but if it can't be found I just want to see some of the beautiful country that is my home before it steals my ability to see it. I am in the golden years of my life at 52 and have never been on vacation and my hope is to see both you one day soon.
Again thank you both!
Thanks for interviewing Ms. J. She's awesome and inspiring.
I just love the energy that J exudes! How can I have her as my friend? 😀. Thank you Carolyn for bringing us this excellent interview on a sensitive topic. Great job!
Great video Carolyn and Ms J.
I recall a road trip to upstate New York with a friend and we stopped at a convenience shop to get sodas and lottery. We walked in and EVERYONE in the store stopped talking and stared at us. We said hi and got what we wanted then I went to get a lottery ticket and they asked to see my ID. It was an experience I’ll tell ya and it definitely rubbed me the wrong way. But it wasn’t the first encounter and it won’t be the last unfortunately. And I’m about to be 52!
In my opinion, that I.D. stunt is pulled by bigots who want to 'flex' on people of color and demonstrate some nonexistent type of power over them. I saw it happen first-hand to my mother once in a convenience store and it was laughable considering she was clearly a mature woman. She is a woman of color, the person doing it was a White guy. I was very angry and shocked that this sort of thing happened. And yep it also happened in Upstate NY. WTH is up with that? I would love to buy an RV at some point in the future, and it's kinda important to know how the race issue enters into RV traveling...in case family comes along with me, I want to know the perceptions, attitudes and behavior of some people out there. Knowledge is always useful. I've always thought that small towns can foster ignorance. When one group of people predominantly makes up the demographics of a place, and there is little interaction w/different ethnicities and cultures, it can lead to shockingly simple-minded even dangerous attitudes towards what some will view as "difference".
The left lane is generally reserved for passing or faster traffic unless a sign is posted saying it's for passing only.
Carolyn. You bring the best content to your videos. Please keep up the great work. Thank you
thank you so much Gabrielle. That means a lot!
What a great interview with such an awesome lady. She would be fun to boondock with. Sounds like such a fun job transporting. GIRL POWER. You two were are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you both
MsJ's TravelVentures Thank you Ms J. It would be wonderful to cross paths in the future. I have taken a big step today in making positive changes in my life. My dream is to be out on the road but have to do some difficult things to get there. Not ready to discuss it but it was a very heart wrenching day but for the right reasons. Children must always be safe. God bless you. I so admire you. Happy travels and safe travels to you. God will protect us all.
Love this interview!! Thank you both
Thank you for posting. I often wondered about the diversity of the RV van life
Love her positive outlook. Ms J Rock's. Love her cozy tiny house. Keep on trucking Ms J.
I do not understand why it is such a big deal what color we are! Live and let live! God bless you
I agree, I wish everyone thought like you, but unfortunately, we aren't there yet and it DOES matter to many people. And IMO that's why we need to keep having these conversations. Nothing ever changed through denial.
Loved the video Carolyn. This year seems to have brought about a change in the RV community . I hope this will be ongoing and not just for Black History Month. This is literally my first time seeing people of color on some of y'all's channels.
Amazing video. I am glad I came across this video. So cool. I will be keeping this video.
Hi J and Carolyn! So great to see you both here. Believe it or not, I’m picking up the RTR documentary project again and will keep you updated. Wish I could have made it to RTR this year; I heard it was awesome!
I love love when women come together and share their experiences, it's just magical thing to do but even better if you come travel buddies so you can protect each other. Power to the women !
Great interview! Thank you, Carolyn, for talking about a subject so pertinent to our society today. Video was nicely done, easy to understand both of you, nice setting too! I also saw Bob's interview with J.
I am waiting for the day we can be called women, period! Or maybe just humans?? I cannot understand how we are labeled, I am a 63 year old women and that is just who I am! Thank you for this video.......it needs to go viral!
Kimberlee, your comment is so refreshing. Carolyn was bold enough to go where most people would avoid like the plague. Viral would be something...
I would even leave out the age and sex/gender labels. Damn people, we are all just a multi-hue-colored species labeled as human beings on this plane for a very, yes short, finite period of time. I am not denying that some people want to label us and treat us by their defined labels but we validate that when we acknowledge it and attribute their actions to the label. As soon as we recognize that we all belong to the same species, and don't validate otherwise, we will understand that we are one and the same.
This is simply the result of the hundreds of years that white people labeled themselves as superior and believed they were entitled to more and better simply because they were white. This has been passed down from generation to generation and continues to show itself in the racism of today. They saw everyone else as inferior.
So when people who aren't white begin to say "wait just a doggone minute",
They proudly point out that they aren't white but are entitled to the same things white people are.
If you can't understand this, I would bet you are white and have benefited from being white without ever knowing it.
Walk a mile in their shoes and maybe you might begin to understand.
You cannot understand because you don't want to. You are offended because someone is being referred to as "a woman of color"? Get over it.
I agree!!!!
I didn't get pulled over for having my high beams on, but I did get pulled over by a state trooper for flashing my lights at him at dusk to get him to turn his headlights on, as I could barely see him coming at me on the highway. I was a young guy with long hair in a 20 year old Ford Falcon. He did a full safety inspection on the side of the road trying to find something wrong so he could write me up. After wasting twenty minutes of my time and making me late to the drive in theatre, he had to let me go. I think it irked him that I was more safety conscious than he was.
Good for Ms J for getting out there and doing what she loves!
What a wonderful video! I love when you interview solo women nomads. It is so insightful and encouraging! Thanks Carolyn!
Thank you both for great content in this video. We do all have our own experiences. I worked construction for many years when I was young and I know that feeling of having to prove myself and be non-threatening. Now that I am old and not so thin anymore and I've always liked wearing my jeans and t-shirt, I get followed around in stores sometimes and when I've just been parked looking at my phone I've been asked if I was homeless, and in other places I've been mistaken for day laborer someone was looking for. I like what Ms J said about "killing them with kindness" and "projecting an attitude that you want reflected back at you," that has been my own attitude. I am looking forward to watching Ms J's channel and thank you Carolyn for sharing the link!
Ms. J is awesome. Love her spirit.
hey Carolyn..love the video. thank you for keepin it real.
I can't tell you how much this video has touched my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You ROCK Carolyn. Thank you for introducing Ms. J and her youtube channel and her story. Honestly, I've been concerned about safety while considering boondocking as a minority. I will continue to follow your journey and I'm looking forward to leaving the sticks and bricks behind and attending the RTR next year where all are welcomed.
Great interview Carolyn, it is nice to see different kinds of people. All the same can be boring, honestly. Peace and love.
Carolyn Thank You for this video as a Couple of color we are currently retired buying our first class C motorhome. We have been following yourself and others on TH-cam for the last year learning enjoying every one's journey. Truthfully we were discussing as we get ready to start our journey what challenges would we meet being a couple of color. Your video was very good for us at this right time. I do remember seeing her on Bob's channel she a very nice person. Thank You again
Thank you so much Just and good luck to you both in your travels!! I hope to meet you out here someday!
c, please explain the letter for those of us that have not kept up with today's acornizms
Just Travel'n. If is only 2 of you I recommend a class B and minimal stuff to carry so you will have more freedom of movement.
I love Ms. J. This was a excellent video, thank you.
I really enjoyed this video, it was a great interview, and I look forward to following Ms. J's youtube channel!
Responding to the poll: White woman here, and I drive cross country twice every year for my job. I have done this for several years. I also only have a rear license plate. I have never gotten pulled over for that, or highbeams, or driving in left lane. I've only been pulled over once in 10 years and that was for speeding (which I was :-/
So inspiring. I am a 60+ woman of color. I take care of my sister and am planning to convert a mini school bus and be on road before and during my retirement! Love it!
AWESOME interview! Can't wait for Ms. J's TH-cam channel content!!:) Thank you so much for sharing!!
Carolyn, great video and super interview! This "Solo Woman" was very informative and articulate. Thank you, Ms. J. for sharing your observation, your experience and your passion for serving others. Stay safe out there!
I understand so well! When you give of yourself, you're really boosting the person you are from within. Happy is what happy does and it shows! Thanks you again for sharing.
I want to commend you Carolyn on this video. I love the way that both of you ladies handled this delicate topic of concern to so many people. As always wonderful video, keep up the great work!
Great interview...love this. I would love to do that.. I'm a CDL driver and have been for over 20 years so I'm definitely going to check that out to see what's available.. thank you so much for sharing
Thank you, Carolyn! I am so happy to hear more from Miss J! The two of you inspire me.
Thank you for replying. You are my hero!
This video is now my all-time favorite on TH-cam. Great discussion and so inspirational!!! Thank you both!!
Awesome interview!!! Thanks to both of you for being so honest and open.
Great video! My time is getting closer & closer! You women are lovely! Be safe! Happy trails! Peace & Love!
One of your best interviews. Well done, both of you..
Great information ...well spoken experienced travelers!
Such a nice young lady! Great to hear Ms. J's story. Subscribed!!!
Very informative. Great interview. Ms. J keep being yourself you certainly got it together!
Yes Jay does have such a great upper beautiful lady. Such a sweetie. What a shame Jay was pulled over. I have never been pulled over for any of those reasons. This is a crying shame. We are all equal. That saddens me so much. I'm so sorry Jay. No I have never been asked if I was arrested before.
Kathy, your reply warms my heart. I was hoping to just shed some light on the matter to show how we all exist but exist verrrrrry differently. It is unfortunate because it reveals that we no longer see through the eyes of a child, non-judgemental.
Ms. J. You are such a delightful lady. I wish you nothing but goodness in all your travels and life. If only everyone could see people through the eyes of children. We are all people and we all have hearts. If only we could all learn to be kind and treat each other with respect. I so enjoyed meeting you through U-Tube. Be safe and enjoy your beautiful trailer home. It's so darn cute. I love you statement regarding you get back what you put out to others. This is so important. Does not always work but most of the time it sure does. Your so right on Miss J
Thank you for sharing! I will be out there on the road soon! Can't wait to meet you ladies!
Thank you, Carolyn, for another unique video that shines a light on a topic that doesn’t get addressed much. And thank you for using a video title that pulls attention to this topic. Watching RV full-timer videos, I often wonder, “so where are the people of African, Asian, Hispanic, Islamic and other heritages?” I have a friend who was born in Silicon Valley and her parents are Vietnamese immigrants. She doesn’t feel comfortable going camping and traveling in rural areas of California because of racism. I applaud J’s courage and independence. Her friendly approach is so smart. It’s important for white people to appreciate that traveling around the US and moving around especially unfamiliar places as a person who is not white, can present some difficult and unfair challenges. It’s 2018 and it’s embarrassing and shameful to me that the US as a country hasn’t moved past racism. I remember J’s interview with Bob when she talked about transporting RVs. Kudos to her for living a traveler’s life. Travelers meeting other travelers I know Is full of very gratifying experiences. 💕
Thank you for your kind and insightful comment Nirvana!!! *hugs to you
Hi, I just subbed to Ms. J's channel from watching this video. She is a bright, happy young women. Who cares about color, care about a person's personality! Everyone is a unique individual human and what we project out to the world will always attract the same back to us! Thanks for the video.
I was so glad to have seen this video. we are really wanting to go full time in 2020 but was very unsure of the safety issue with me and my wife being black people. there are wonderful places to visit and see that are off grid. we especially loved your Alaskan series,it was just wonderful. We would like to have those same experiences and really enjoy the outdoors and all the adventures it has to offer. like I said we are looking at 2020 as our launch year. we are excited but realistically we are cautious also. take care we love your videos and the nomad life.
Mike, I for one look forward to seeing more people of color on the road! Every year we see more and more at the RTR and it's a beautiful thing!! Glad this helped you and happy travels to you and your wife! Carolyn
Very inspiring and enlightening to hear what Ms J has to deal with driving thru small town America has an African American. We have so much to learn from each other. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I just watched the new update with Bob & Ms J, I am doing this 4 sure! in truck school now have 4 weeks to go to get my CDL. So inspiring! love you guys hopefully I can finally meet you all next year 2019 is my year ladies!
Loved the interview, but just wanted to mention that it's not a good idea to drive with bright lights on in fog because the glare can make visibility worse. I was a professional driver for many years and experienced negative reactions from some people just because I was female. I hope that situation has improved.
I have been pulled over for having my high beams on in WV. It was prom night so they were looking for people messing up.
I understand what she is saying when people assume she shouldn't afford the rv. I am new this and went into a rv sales place to look around and ask questions he was immediately dismissive of me.
Ms. J so glad to see you again and doing well. I love your smile and positive attitude . Thanks Carolyn.
Love this one. More like this please :)
Thank you both, ladies, for your honesty and candidness on these issues. It's so important that we can have these conversations in a non threatening manner. Your both really awesome. Shedding light, opening hearts, educating us. Nothing but love.
What a lovely lady and so beautiful,loved the video.stay safe from Scotland
I just wanted to say that I don't own an RV, never did, but am very intrigued by your lifestyle so I have subscribed to your channel and keep loving watching your vids. I am learning a ton! Thanks and stay safe out there! Keep making great vids!

I love her energy.. She's very inspiring!
