I went from being millionaire to losing everything& living in my truck for 2yrs.I learned the famous quote: "What doesn't kill you makes u stronger" is true..Learned I had tremendous faith& resourcefulness.I'm doing really well now& know u will be soon 😇
@@jeffg3895 Over extended in biz when real estate crashed in 2010- Lost 2 apt buildings-Big home, too many bills, marital problems.In hindsight, should've had backup plans but I ignored signs, which are always there
@@davidkeith7087 I think the best thing that ever happened to me was losing everything. I always had a family that would bail me out of everything. They finally just got sick of it and cut me off. I promised myself I would never been in that situation again. I’m in recovery and I did it to myself. But losing money only made me stronger. I’ve since gotten sober and repaired those relationships. I’ve been able to keep a roof over my head and pay for all of my bills by myself. I know that sounds so stupid because I should’ve done that years ago. I am grateful that it happened. I wish you the very best!
I live Vanlife here in Hawai’i currently, in total the last 6 or 7 years. California was by far the hardest place as a nomad/on the road, regardless of which type of vehicle. The state laws make it really difficult, finding a place to park overnight is tough. If I did have to recommend a spot, a little north of Malibu in the mountains is where I typically park when I’m traveling thru, but down south in San Diego there’s a huge community of vanlifers if you ever feel lonely or wanna make some friends. Stoked to come across your channel. Keep creating and sharing your journey 🖤
@@nomadicheadspace5334 It’s cool in SD, but there’s definitely better cities for Vanlife outside of California. Baja down south in Mex, Bend in Oregon, Olympic in Washington & Crested Butte in Colorado & most of Idaho to name a few. SD is a good time tho
@@kylejayy Thanks man. I heard San Diego was pretty bad. I'm having great luck in Long Beach right now on. I'm not sure how long it will last but this is the only place in LA County thats been so cool. I heard PCH around the malibu area was good but Im not sure if its changed recently. They are all scrambling to make new laws to get us out lol Northern Arizona, Flagstaff is a good spot too.
You should create an Amazon store and then put links to the stuff you have bought for your car life. You will make a little money on anything anyone buys thru your links. They have to buy within 24 hours though, once they put it in their cart. Doesn't cost them any more than direct thru Amazon. Win, Win, the links help those new to car life and you with a little extra income.
@@jenncarr5376 I'm not sure, I've just seen other TH-camrs talk about it on their channels. One channel specifically is Minivan Lee. Maybe she could help if you reach out to her on her channel. Good luck!
What I've learned is nothing last forever. I was homeless for 3 years when I moved from north Carolina to Kentucky and I've been living in an apartment for 8 years and hope to improve more in my life. Everyone got a season hardship but everyone gets to bear their fruit 🍓 from that season
As a Law Enforcement Officer in CA, close to where you are (Different County). I understand security has a job to do but if you’re tidy and keep everything clean I’m cool with it. Not going to kick anyone out especially in the middle of the night. Stay safe out there and keep on truckin! A travel van would be sweet for sure. Btw I’ve been enjoying the videos 🤘🏽
You seem so kind. I'm living in my car in nor cal and I live in fear everyday of getting in trouble for being somewhere I'm not supposed to be...or just really for any reason... I haven't one year old German shepherd with me... The love of my life, I'm always terrified something will happen and I'll end up losing him...
@Makki LOL youre really crazy, big hater. She explained her lovable grandpa past away.....REMEMBER! There are 2 grandpas and 2 grandmas LMAO Makki the crazy hater
You know her baby got a fractured skull, a brain bleed, a few beatings from this "Lovely person"? The babies grandparents fought to keep her out of the babies life. She has many charges, and you sir, as law enforcement just instantly bought into her 💩? Shes a disgrace to all women, all mothers, and should not be able to make money from youtube. Child abusers are not wanted on youtube, also be careful she is most definitely a manipulator, and is looking for old men with extra disposable cash. Also where is her child? Where is any sign of a child living with this mother? Disgusting is what she is.
Your videos are no way too long, in fact just about perfect. I follow a number of channels with van lifers etc. and they always talk about Walmart being a place to park, I work at Home Depot and you will not be bothered if you overnight park, just park on the outskirts, at my store we usually have a couple of 18 wheelers and anywhere up to 6 campers of various types.
Right everyone is saying don’t shorten your videos , please don’t. Just say n do what you want, there’s no rules. People love you for you so don’t worry and keep putting out the honest day in the life videos etc. I think they help folks who are in the same situation and you might notice a lot of women who WANT to go take the leap to do car/ van life! I am hoping to someday, I see it as a positive ❤️🌸
Ari, I talked to my niece. I asked her if you could park on her block safely (she lives in LA), and she said no. She said for you to look at car camping in Silverlake, Echo Park, Malibu & El Segundo. She said to PLEASE stay away from Venice Beach, Santa Monica and inner city LA, as they are seriously cracking down. Also, she is going to find out about an app that, get this: it shows all the places you can car camp where you won’t be bothered. She said she & her ex used it all the time when they were traveling around by car.
Wow ur sister is awful. If a gal was alone living in her car $hit I would let them park in my drive way. Tell ur sister way to have a sisterhoods back.
My car has dark tinted windows, but what I did when I was living in my car I bought black fabric and made curtains and added that to the inside of my car. From the outside people could not look in because it was so dark because of the black tint and the black fabric behind it. Sometimes it was very hot in the summer time . I would run the AC on for a while but because the AC would suck up the gas I could not run it all night. Therefore I bought mosquito net at the hardware store and put the mosquito net on the back passanger windows with duck tape. At night time I would lower the back windows a bit and the mosquito net would keep the bugs out while getting a nice breeze from outside. In the winter it would get cold and I would put the heat on for some time but Also would layer up with clothes and that would keep me warm.
I live in Portland. We have a BIG house less community here. There are lots of places where people park in their van or car, and most businesses are cool with it. We also have a lot of resources and laws to protect the homeless here. I love your vibe and energy. Truly inspiring me to simplify my life and refocus on what’s important to me… my faith and nature 💗💗💗 keep rockin girl
Your video just popped up. I don’t know where to start, but your story has really touched my heart. Stay strong and don’t worry about what anyone thinks or says. The main thing is you have Jesus in your heart. Without him we have nothing. Just remember your not alone. Stay safe!!!
Hi im Jeff, My wife and I live in Southern California and have had a good life so far. We both love helping out other people in need of pretty much anything. If you find yourself in need just reach out to us and your prayers will be answered. God Bless, and have a safe night. Jeff and Sheri
Just subscribed. Sucks that you’re living in your car, but looks like you’re making the best of it. TH-cam is a huge community, so I’m sure you’re gonna get a lot of support. And you’re also going to inspire others who are struggling and finding themselves homeless, especially during these hard times. Life has gotten to expensive after the pandemic that those who were struggling before the pandemic have found themselves in even worse situations now. I’m sorry that you have no family or friends to lean on. I hope that through this community you can find trustworthy people whom you can eventually call your friend and family. Keep on smiling and spreading love to the world!! You will reap what you sow, so keep being positive and spreading it for others to catch.
I recommend also tinting your windows. For my car, which I use for driving (and parking) in a HOT area, I chose a slightly darker tint. 15? If that number means anything. Ceramic! I wouldn’t mind having curtains for additional sun protection. ☀️
Interesting how by the way you speak, look, carry yourself etc- I would never guess you're in this situation. Goes to show you never know what people are going through. I've dealt with depression most of my life (I'm 30) and it's become worse over the last couple years. No one has caught on and I've only told a few people over the years. All of which were surprised and had no idea. Point is- you never truly know. I know times are hard for you but not only do you have a great personality but apparently making videos is your thing. I can already tell you're going to do really well on this platform so early congrats 👏
Nobody can believe she is in this situation. When you are so pretty life is so easy. I cant understand how a model like her can be homeless more than a day.
I connect with you more than I do with other people that are living in their cars or vans because you need to do this to pay your bills and save a little cash during this recession I've been there and know how hard it is and you are doing a great job.
@@clickclackbang18 I don't think anyone that is living in their vehicles is being picky choosey. How about you pray practicing a little compassion and not being judgemental.
I understand where you're coming from. I too sleep in my car at night. I work at a steakhouse restaurant, so I get Perks there and the cooks give me free food if I ask them. I go to a food and Coalition place for showers and meals. Definitely save ao.e money there. On the weekends I'm off fishing at different areas. Tomorrow after work, I start my 10 days of vacation with my classmate and his family. The couty fair is in town there. Should be fun. I like your setup in your car. That's great that you read everyone's comments. Been living in my car for 2.5 months so far. I do laundry at the laundromat. I have a storage where I keep things that I don't have room in my 4 Dr sedan('04 VW). Thanks for sharing and as always, be safe...😃👍👌👊🙏🚙❤️❤️❤️
I know there are some van lifers and also people that live in small older rvs that have some apps that tell them place they can camp at that are safe idk the site or maybe you have been told about it already. I just found your page and I’m cheering you on. I have always had a little depression but the last year I really started to struggle with depression and anxiety so I can relate to you. It looks like you are getting lots of attention on YT congratulations 🎉 I’m sure you know already but I just want to say be careful as you get more popular on who to trust. Heck yeah you can find anything on Amazon lol.I’m excited to see your journey. As you get more subscribers the trolls and “perfect “ people come out too to bash and tell you everything you’re doing wrong or whatever anyways stay strong 💪 don’t let those people get you down don’t worry about having to explain yourself to them all because most of the critics aren’t here because they like you they are her because that’s what they get off doing so smoke a j and relax 🙃🙂
Man your videos hit home, I was in a horrible relationship and just had a baby at the time and walked miles ...... Ugh I hate those memories but I acknowledge that's how I made my wonderful life what it is today. Blessings to you. Great things are coming your way❤️
You’re An inspiration to a lot of people. I don’t know if this is an option for you, however; campgrounds might help with your parking problems. Legally you can stay (if I remember correctly) up to 30 days before you have to move for at least a week. I don’t remember exactly how much it costs but I do remember it wasn’t too expensive. My prayers are with you & please stay as safe as possible. God Bless you. 🙏
dont know about out in cali but in the east 14 day stay then cant stay until another 14 go by and 15-20 bucks a day if you can find a place that has an opening and its getting have to find -most want you to have at least a tent to stay in
Hi Ari, I came across you by accident really & your story really touched me. I live on the east coast of Scotland & send huge hugs & love. I think it’s an absolute disgrace that in 2022 your situation is what it is but the way you seem to be coping is testament to your character. You’re one brave, tough woman. Not everyone is as resilient. It’s such a positive quality. I’m going to stick with you on your journey & have now subscribed. Stay safe Katie from Fife, Scotland
Cool! I just found your videos! We are the same age. I'm thinking about quitting my job and living in my car because that's how much I've grown to hate my job. I hate the thought of working just to pay for a place to sleep! The price for an apartment now should be a crime! I think I'm going to trade in my car for a van and convert it. I want to just travel and work temp jobs to get by for a while. Keep the videos coming!
You are on the RIGHT PATH regardless of how harsh it might be at the moment. Just stumbled upon your video from 2 weeks ago today and heard your comment about NOT going the “Sugar Daddy” route. That shows a lot of good personal INTEGRITY and good moral values. I can see good things in your future. We all have a story and we all make mistakes. Stay positive and keep trudging forward. It will get better and happy belated birthday. Cheers. One more tip. If you would like to maximize room you can take your car to a dealership close by and they can definitely help you remove your backseats in a few minutes for free to give you full access to your trunk and more “sleep room”. I’ve been traveling up and down the west coast. Sold everything being semi retired and taking a few years vacation. I’ll checkout your other tips on traveling. Thanks for the great interesting videos.
The world is truly a wonderful place, you're homeless but seeing all the outpouring support from strangers ,the words of encouragement is a sight to behold. I'm praying that your situation gets better keep producing content as the updates are interesting and keeps us engaged . Best of luck 🤞
I'll get down voted to oblivion and called a sexist pig. Now that that's out of the way, why do a lot of women these days enjoy being SO independent? To the point it sometimes leads them to live like this. Why can't they settle down, find a decent husband, live life in a humble way? There are plenty of good guys out there. Don't have to be so alone.
Too the people telling her to get a SD have no idea what it feels like to have a man who bullies you or makes fun of you when they get mad and rubs it in your face that they are your main provider. Im a married stay at home mom who works partime and I still have to hear in every arguement that I’m broke and have no say. I really wanna take my jeep and just run away and live out my car but I’m scared to leave my son behind. Also I’m not in fear of my life and I do think he would be able to care for and provide for his son because these type of men love their kids but they are very hard and toxic towards women.
This is true, i see it in reverse, ima man with no kids and women these days basically let kids run the home..im successful and its hard to find a woman that can take care of home and accomplish whatever goals she desires to accomplish..its difficult for both women and us men with no kids
Can you get a full time job to become more independent from him? Because some men will just treat you any way they want to when they feel you are dependent on them. Thanks to having a good steady job i was able to get out of an abusive relationship. If i stayed i would have been in an insane asylum for sure. The constant verbal abuse is so toxic and damaging.
@@JCX-9 yes I have 2 jobs that I usually work around homeschooling and house work and cooking he also makes fun of my job when in reality I can bring my baby with me and make a good amount I can make up to 29$ a hour. He makes fun of my job says it’s not real jobs because I use my car for work and I make my own schedule and can work anytime I want. I just can’t make a lot of money cause I homeschool, cook and clean and put that above work.
I'm proud of you and the attitude you have. I know you will have days when you get down, but I know you can stay strong! We are living in crazy times. It is so sad that each and every working American cannot afford what they need, the basics of life. Thanks for the videos and stay safe!
I am sure you will succeed Ari. You have such a kind heart. We all pass through adversity but it is how we choose to look at life that makes the biggest difference. Don’t ever stop shinning your amazing light. Keep going girl, loads of love ❤️
My lease is over October 27th... I put in my move out notice... I ve been waking up in the middle of the night wondering if I'm doing the right thing. More than anything, I don't want to stay in Indiana anymore. I need to see some things. Thank you for the reassurance, sending love ❤️ ❤️
I am so proud of you! And excited to see you journey. I'm sending you lots of love and prayers. I hope you feel how many people out here love you and want to see your success. Looking forward to your next video!!
I have been homeless before and I lost my parents when I was 18 and 19 I'm 35 now and I'm still learning to grow and get my mental health issues together keep up the good work I'm praying for you
Hey Ari, make sure you are getting monetized (if you're not already) for your videos, because your videos are making numbers in views in a small amount of time. I'm a subscriber and love your honesty in your videos. I look forward to your videos for now on. keep it up.
@@itiiyt I did, and all I saw that she did things when she was younger. We all are not perfect also people can change. Scammer or not, you do realize you're helping her YT channel by commenting - drama sells and maybe this is working on her behalf.
I've been homeless twice in my life. Both times I managed to get out of it. I didn't mind it I stayed in shelters, but life is hard. Keep the positive attitude going. Looks like you have lots of support.
Hi beautiful!! Let me just tell you how incredibly inspired and in awe I am of you... your positivity, your resourcefulness, your heart, your energy, you radiate so much love, grace and beauty. You have inspired me in so many ways. Thank you for shining your light and making this world a better place! I pray for Gods richest blessings and providence over your life 💗 you really are an incredible soul!
Hey, I feel you and I admire your courage. Until 2 weeks ago I was also planning to live in my car but I just couldn’t dare so I ended up renting a seriously cheap and crappy studio in the middle of the desert. Then I came across your video and said to myself ‘i should’ve done the same’. I sincerely hope you settle down soon in a place which will warm your heart.
I’ve got 6 months left on my lease in my apartment so I am prepping and planning now and trying to learn all I can so any and all tips are greatly appreciated.
First of all Happy belated Birthday. Just recently came across your videos.You are such an amazing person and have a great outlook on life, even in the situation you are in. That says a lot about the type of person you are. I have been binge watching your videos. The part of this video about the Sugar Daddy really had me laughing. You definitely don't NEED one of those. I have a feeling you are going to be a very successful person. I really hope you get more subs and get your videos monetized soon, that would really help you out tremendously. I will continue to pray for you and watch your journey. God bless you
The hardest times made me harder, more motivated, and when the worst was over, very proud I came out a better man. I know I can handle anything life throws at me, and it definitely gave me a great perspective for what I have now. Your strength and positivity is inspirational.. it will guide you where you need to go be safe
Just came across your video. I really enjoyed it. Plus,I feel ya with trying to out your hair in a ponytail. My hair is very long & heavy especially summer frizzy hair. Can't wait to see your journey. Sending tons of Prayers & love.
A tip since you are blowing up in subs (and you should be able to monetize soon, which can help in income if you continue to grow) Set up a few Amazon affiliate links and put them in your description. Something like a link to the curtain, even if the click doesnt end up in a sale, if they buy something during the same session, you will get small kickbacks for Amazon credit. It won't be a lot of money, but you will start to save when purchasing.
The thing I’d worry most about is having my vehicle break down…especially if you can’t save money for any possible future car repairs. Hopefully you have a credit card for emergencies such as that. You have a really great personality and I could see you having a lucrative TH-cam/tik Tok career.
Thanks for the links to the car curtains. This is to all your supporters. Thank you for showing this beautiful person what love and humanity is all about. I don't know her but, her story relates to many of us. There will always be ups and downs in life but, knowing that there are still people in this world that truly care. God bless you all.
Also I’m a manager at Starbucks and Starbucks are hiring everywhere.The starting wage recently went up and Starbucks now pays between 15 and 21. They have great benefits and a full ride college all the way to a masters degree. One good thing about Starbucks is you can transfer anywhere so you always have a job.
Inspiring young lady! Thank you. Some of my fav people have July b-days too. Have to admit I liked the 10- 11 minutes, maybe that will let you do more of these. Also, highly recommend insight timer app for meditation if you're not already familiar with. Lastly, keep and open mind about the sugar daddy thing, living on a boat (here in VA) is fun too!
Youre a beautiful/ gorgeous woman! Its hard to believe that you would have a hard time finding someone to build a friendship/relationship with. Especially hearing how strong minded and independent you are. I know you say you go to a gym. So do i... and its 1 place to meet someone with similiar interest. Possible build a team together and help each other.. cause its a struggle in this economy on 1 paycheck. It definetly helps when ur significant other can contribute to build a strong team... Keep striving girl... I can see so much good in your aura... you gonna get thru this and its all gonna be memories to tell one day 💪
Ari. I feel ya girl. I’m am throwing the most best wishes your way … I am finally moving out of so cal. I understand all you are going through. The hard times, build strength and character….humility and graciousness., and most of all…. You learn to not judge people, Kindness and understanding to all. YOU are , and will be the most best kind of person that will bless anyone who gets to know you. Thank you, You inspire me.
I mentioned it in another video, but please look into hotel parking lots. Big hotels and resorts with large lots. Don't park in the same place too often and switch from a few hotels every few days too. I kinda consider it my little secret because I know the layouts so well, that I can utilize certain restrooms and basically have them to myself. Let me know if I can help you with some ideas.
@@stansmith5610 not only that, once she's got enough followers and getting money through TH-cam and patreons how will she keep this "homeless" thing going when she's probably gonna make way more than 90% of us people who actually have a job lol
I just discovered your videos. It's a change from all the other videos I watch on vanlife since here it's something you didn't choose but you undergo... I wish you lots of courage because it can't be easy 💪 We feel through your videos that you're a sincere person. Don't change and stay as you are! I can't wait for you to open your Patreon page, it will allow me to help you in a small way. Anyway, thank you for what you share with us (and it helps me to improve my English. So sorry for my English which must be not so good...) And for your iPad, have you tried cleaning the iPad charging connector? It's often because of a lot of dust that gets into the port that the iPad doesn't charge anymore because there is no contact. You have to go slowly to remove the dust with a small object like a toothpick. Once done, blow a little inside to remove what's left and with a little luck, it will charge again 😉
Hi Ari, Your videos are great no need to keep them short I Really enjoy them. I wanted to share something with you I’m 61 and I’ve been thinking of living out of my suv for a while now I’m struggling between the rent my car Pymts the insurance the light and all the other bills I have can’t afford them anymore. Sometimes don’t have a dollar left. I’m struggling with the idea I’m not young and healthy as you , but it’s gotten to a point that I have to make a choice.
Thank you for just being vulnerable and authentic! You’re so brave for what you do, I pray to God that he protects you out there, and opens new doors for you soon! My wife, and I, would love to be your friends, sending you my blessings 🙏🏼
Cheering you on girl! Found your videos today and I’m hooked on your energy and attitude. Sending you all the light, love and little bit I can do to help my fellow human. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all. One love ✌🏽
Hello Ari. A blessing just ran across your channel. I have now gone through more than 90% of all your videos and am inspired. Thanks for the inspiration I'm sure you have instilled in others and me during the time I have viewed your content. The world has more than enough negativity, skepticism and doubt. I'm note struggling through homelessness nor ever have but I completelty understand what motivates your to go on this journey. Your value orientation is a lot heathier than those claiming to have much materially. I'm 53 years old, a profeesional (by the world's standards) but have made some changes in my personal life to move away from the "materialistic" values that define our culture. The connection must be with humanity and those whoe are suffering. I see you have not posted any content since last year and pray you are safe. Please continue your current journey all the while staying connected to GOD. Peace
Happy belated Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 You deserved a special day and I hope it was great. Just remember that GA can be in your windshield and you would love it here. Freedom at its finest. I've helped others, raised kids that their parents didn't want to, and have been all over the world. I don't play the 'bs' life but will always lend a helping hand. I've been a solo woman for 18 years and have no regrets. Take care and be safe.
I drive for an expedite company a van I live in a different place every day and get paid well to do it and the company pays for van and gas and I love it and Ian 54 yrs old. You should check into it you would be perfect for the job... Expidite driver...... Look up panther expedite!!!! ..
@@hillbilly1257 Hi! Thank you for sharing this! I just checked into it but their website says you have to have a CDL, which I don't have. Is that required to drive the van as well or just the truck?
No not for a van just a basic drivers license. But there's lots of other companies. Just try expedite companies van driver's....i uasually run east coast mostly but west coast some. Good luck
Tinted windows will definately help to stay low key and will also keep you much cooler. I did that on my car when i was homeless and it was life saver😊
Just found your channel recently, I cannot imagine what you are going through right now, and with no support system available some more. For that, I think you are very strong and admire your strength. Hope your channel will grow huge and all the best!
You seem like such a genuine soul. If you are ever comfortable with setting up a gofundme, for example, I would definitely love to contribute. Take care!
I normally do not watch videos like this but for some reason I clicked on yours and felt immediately intrigued by you and your story. I am currently living and working in my truck day in and day out so with that being said if I can offer any advice, information, or assistance please feel free to reach out to me directly. I haven’t been to California in years but I think I would enjoy sitting down and having a meaningful conversation with you because I find your energy interesting. I wish you peace, love and prosperity.
Omg you're so sweet. Your voice reminds me of Britney Spears 🤗 It's shocking that you live in a car but with how unaffordable housing is, it makes sense and I can see how it could be the best decision. Watching a few of your videos I am very grateful for the good in my life & I'm happy for you that you seem to be doing ok and that you're connecting with some lovely people online, and inspiring others in the process 🧚♀️🌿
Glad I found your channel you're a really humble person 🙏 😊 I'm going through that situation rn and it's real life!!I'm only 24 stay in Seattle been doing that for 2month stay strong and be safe out there beautiful❤💛
Happy belated birthday, one woman to another I’ve been struggling with housing since 2017 and I’m disabled on top of it so it’s really hard. I used to work in a Fortune 100 successful company but life can change so quickly. People don’t think it can happen to them or that we’re dirty/lazy/addicts or whatever other negative stereotype there is. The economy and inflation is bad and only getting worse in the future. America is in for a lot of horrific things in the near future. Getting a personal relationship with our Creator and Savior Jesus Christ is key. He will be the ONLY WAY any of us makes it through what is coming. I’m praying for you and for all of us. The struggle IS REAL!! God bless you and keep you under the shadow of His wings! He loves you Ari!!! 🙏🥰😊
There are different kinds of Sugar Daddies. In this case she's creating a channel for thousands of Sugar Daddies to contribute views and comments and later she's have a Patreon for direct payments. It's the new Sugar Daddy.
Have you considered setting up a patreon so your viewers can support you? You are sharing your life with your viewers and it would be nice to generate another source of income for you. May come in handy to help you find a place to live or times when you can stay in a hotel now and then. Praying for you and your future.
Great storytelling through editing and I think the voice over was top shelf. (I know I know...I'm supposed to say prayers and feel sorry...but you have a great imagination and looks like you have the TH-cam gift. Very few people can compose such a good video off their telephones. Dreams are within your reach too!)
Hey my friend Joe sent me your channel cause I live out of my van in here in the Ojai-Ventura-LA area. Camp Comfort up in Ojai has coin showers you can use and decent bathrooms. It’s got a park that’s open for day use so the facilities are there. 🤷♂️ I park out here nearby and do my run/workout and then bathroom shower before I take on the day. Can also park out near the orchards in the backroads of Ojai too. When you’re out in LA, you can park on the beachside street parking near Venice and Santa Monica. There’s also safe parking programs out there that let you park. Passing that along with what I’ve learned being out here, hope it helps!
Your story is very inspiring and thanks so much for sharing with us the life you live. Stay strong and know that good things are coming your way. I look forward to the day when you post of a video of your own place.
I lived in my van for about 8 months and currently live in my van 5 nights a week because my current jobsite is 1hr away and I find a few hrs a night in my van beats the commute and having to wake up early. At least in a van/car every little mod you come up with gives a little bit of joy. My advice, get an electric toy I have an electric skateboard and I feel blessed every time I use it, you get to see so much more of the world than on foot or in a car. I wish I had have had it when I lived in my van for those 8 months, I would have left the van more often and seen so much more of where ever I was staying at the time.
Also, if a parking lot is safe but doesn’t have security, it likely has a ton of lights. And it messes up your sleep patterns (not to mention all the alarming sounds at night)
Loving your videos! You’re so relatable at least to me you are, I’m far from rich I struggle daily but separation from social media and coming to terms with the simplicity of my reality has completely changed my outlook on life ! I eventually want to go on the road #vanlife or skoolie but I have 3 young kids no friends orbs family and honestly not in the best of situation that I need to escape from so if I ever get the nerve to finally do it I would love to visit cali as one of my first destinations! Of course the main struggle is income unfortunately but I keep faith your know how it is :(. remotely working would be the absolute blessing I need but for now I’m so inspired by your story and if u ever need anything just a friend to cry to id be glad to listen we can all learn a lot from one another in this life ! But I’ll be following your journey for sure ! Keep your head up babe you’re amazing and so tough !
What's up Ari. I had came across to your video that had caught my attention and, without tearing up my heart genuinely as well as sincerely goes out too you on so many different levels because i could relate. There are many words that could be spoken in this situation but, I would be writing you chapters 1,2,3,4,5 of a life story and I would not want too bore you nor, anyone else who chooses to come across to these comments lol. Listen, you are a soldier girl, you are much stronger mentally then you may think. Your situation right now may not be an easy one but, through everyday and every night you choose too keep a smile on that face of yours and go to work, and that is by choice, that right there, is strength. Keep that head of yours too the Almighty Heavenly Father God's sky's because he and his guardian Angel's are watching over you🙏. Do not give up God will soon turn your situation around. As far as you stating that you do not have any friends that is not true at all because , you have us here on TH-cam. So if there is ever a time where you need too speak about something that is on you're mind or maybe even vent, do not hesitate too reach out us. you are in my prayers Ari and I hope that everyone that comes across her videos prays for her as well. Keep the luv alive. Blessings 🙏
I'm not homeless but I have struggled. I just randomly found your video in my feed. I would love to hear more from you, your content is great. I would like to ask, if you have t answered it already, what happened to your family?
Would you elaborate why you I wear head wraps and hats? And to avoid your hair hitting the roof, you can do a nice twist/bun at the back of your head or on your neck. It will be nice and neat and won’t flop around.
hey, there, ari. I was rolling around my house with a spray bottle trying to find a fly that has been bugging me all day and your video came on. I really admire you very much. you are a strong person, but I just want to say if you ever need a place I have 2 empty bedrooms in my house in Watkinsville Georgia. it's free. all you have to do is help me out of bed and then you are free to go. I have muscular dystrophy and im trying to save money on caregiving. I live alone. no pressure at all. just wanted to mention it. all the best to you and please be careful always. im glad I found your channel. enjoy your chick peas ... ryon 😀
@@bigdz5969 well id rather offer and seem creepy than not offer at all. im the one taking the risk anyway. I use a power chair and have no muscles. she could easily kick my butt. also, big d z, if you were homeless I would do the same for you. that's just what Georgia Bulldogs do 😉
Many Happy Birthday wishes! You are so beautiful and have gorgeous hair! You are 3 years younger than my youngest daughter. I want to adopt you! Please be safe! Do your coworkers know you live in your car ? Your channel is growing! Much love ❤️
I'm a travel nurse but on many occasions housing is too expensive to justify the cost and I stay in the rental Car. I will usually ask if I can get an suv and tell them my situation and sometime you never know the universe smiles on you. For me I just stay at the rest stops , typically have good bathrooms and no one bothers you 24 hour gym perfect for staying in shape and of course showering 😄
Whole heart - hill song 🎧 god is good I hope one day oler can meet you are a literal angel. You are so loved. Your first video I came across I was crying Bc I slept in a car first few months this year and how warm it made me feel to have you make the most out of it and then TH-cam it and not feel shame. And that’s what the enemy wants and it’s beautiful to embrace what is a season that is temporary and that’s what people don’t know that God is ALWAYS working
I went from being millionaire to losing everything& living in my truck for 2yrs.I learned the famous quote: "What doesn't kill you makes u stronger" is true..Learned I had tremendous faith& resourcefulness.I'm doing really well now& know u will be soon 😇
How did you lose everything. Can we learn from you?
@@jeffg3895 Over extended in biz when real estate crashed in 2010- Lost 2 apt buildings-Big home, too many bills, marital problems.In hindsight, should've had backup plans but I ignored signs, which are always there
@@davidkeith7087 I think the best thing that ever happened to me was losing everything. I always had a family that would bail me out of everything. They finally just got sick of it and cut me off. I promised myself I would never been in that situation again. I’m in recovery and I did it to myself. But losing money only made me stronger. I’ve since gotten sober and repaired those relationships. I’ve been able to keep a roof over my head and pay for all of my bills by myself. I know that sounds so stupid because I should’ve done that years ago. I am grateful that it happened. I wish you the very best!
Amen
@@iampatricemeeks Thank you!
I live Vanlife here in Hawai’i currently, in total the last 6 or 7 years. California was by far the hardest place as a nomad/on the road, regardless of which type of vehicle. The state laws make it really difficult, finding a place to park overnight is tough. If I did have to recommend a spot, a little north of Malibu in the mountains is where I typically park when I’m traveling thru, but down south in San Diego there’s a huge community of vanlifers if you ever feel lonely or wanna make some friends. Stoked to come across your channel. Keep creating and sharing your journey 🖤
Wow that would be spectacular in Hawaii
Cheers friend 💞😊
San Diego is the best all countries
@@nomadicheadspace5334 It’s cool in SD, but there’s definitely better cities for Vanlife outside of California. Baja down south in Mex, Bend in Oregon, Olympic in Washington & Crested Butte in Colorado & most of Idaho to name a few. SD is a good time tho
@@kylejayy Thanks man. I heard San Diego was pretty bad. I'm having great luck in Long Beach right now on. I'm not sure how long it will last but this is the only place in LA County thats been so cool.
I heard PCH around the malibu area was good but Im not sure if its changed recently. They are all scrambling to make new laws to get us out lol
Northern Arizona, Flagstaff is a good spot too.
Isn’t vanlife tough in Hawaii? Don’t they kick you out everywhere?
You should create an Amazon store and then put links to the stuff you have bought for your car life. You will make a little money on anything anyone buys thru your links. They have to buy within 24 hours though, once they put it in their cart. Doesn't cost them any more than direct thru Amazon. Win, Win, the links help those new to car life and you with a little extra income.
Great idea 💡👌
How do you create a Amazon store ?? I would love to do that myself ! ❤️
@@jenncarr5376 I'm not sure, I've just seen other TH-camrs talk about it on their channels. One channel specifically is Minivan Lee. Maybe she could help if you reach out to her on her channel. Good luck!

What I've learned is nothing last forever. I was homeless for 3 years when I moved from north Carolina to Kentucky and I've been living in an apartment for 8 years and hope to improve more in my life. Everyone got a season hardship but everyone gets to bear their fruit 🍓 from that season
are you still a poor?

@smith uh never knew this. Do you have a link where I can learn more about this
@smith too many simps dont care
What made you move from NC (to KY)?
As a Law Enforcement Officer in CA, close to where you are (Different County). I understand security has a job to do but if you’re tidy and keep everything clean I’m cool with it. Not going to kick anyone out especially in the middle of the night. Stay safe out there and keep on truckin! A travel van would be sweet for sure. Btw I’ve been enjoying the videos 🤘🏽
You seem so kind. I'm living in my car in nor cal and I live in fear everyday of getting in trouble for being somewhere I'm not supposed to be...or just really for any reason... I haven't one year old German shepherd with me... The love of my life, I'm always terrified something will happen and I'll end up losing him...
Well said good to hear your perspective..
Oh nice! What county are you in, I’m LA county! Thanks for your service. It’s tough being an officer
@Makki LOL youre really crazy, big hater. She explained her lovable grandpa past away.....REMEMBER! There are 2 grandpas and 2 grandmas LMAO Makki the crazy hater
You know her baby got a fractured skull, a brain bleed, a few beatings from this "Lovely person"?
The babies grandparents fought to keep her out of the babies life. She has many charges, and you sir, as law enforcement just instantly bought into her 💩?
Shes a disgrace to all women, all mothers, and should not be able to make money from youtube. Child abusers are not wanted on youtube, also be careful she is most definitely a manipulator, and is looking for old men with extra disposable cash.
Also where is her child? Where is any sign of a child living with this mother?
Disgusting is what she is.
Your videos are no way too long, in fact just about perfect. I follow a number of channels with van lifers etc. and they always talk about Walmart being a place to park, I work at Home Depot and you will not be bothered if you overnight park, just park on the outskirts, at my store we usually have a couple of 18 wheelers and anywhere up to 6 campers of various types.
Right everyone is saying don’t shorten your videos , please don’t. Just say n do what you want, there’s no rules. People love you for you so don’t worry and keep putting out the honest day in the life videos etc. I think they help folks who are in the same situation and you might notice a lot of women who WANT to go take the leap to do car/ van life! I am hoping to someday, I see it as a positive ❤️🌸
Agreed 💯
Amen.amen.amen.
Ari, I talked to my niece. I asked her if you could park on her block safely (she lives in LA), and she said no. She said for you to look at car camping in Silverlake, Echo Park, Malibu & El Segundo.
She said to PLEASE stay away from Venice Beach, Santa Monica and inner city LA, as they are seriously cracking down.
Also, she is going to find out about an app that, get this: it shows all the places you can car camp where you won’t be bothered. She said she & her ex used it all the time when they were traveling around by car.
Did she ever tell you the name of that app?
@@TxAggieJen iOverlander is the one I've found most useful.
Wow ur sister is awful. If a gal was alone living in her car $hit I would let them park in my drive way. Tell ur sister way to have a sisterhoods back.
@@TxAggieJen I'll post it here shortly. She's been busy.
She said “no” lmaooooooo why would you type that
My car has dark tinted windows, but what I did when I was living in my car I bought black fabric and made curtains and added that to the inside of my car. From the outside people could not look in because it was so dark because of the black tint and the black fabric behind it. Sometimes it was very hot in the summer time . I would run the AC on for a while but because the AC would suck up the gas I could not run it all night. Therefore I bought mosquito net at the hardware store and put the mosquito net on the back passanger windows with duck tape. At night time I would lower the back windows a bit and the mosquito net would keep the bugs out while getting a nice breeze from outside. In the winter it would get cold and I would put the heat on for some time but Also would layer up with clothes and that would keep me warm.
I live in Portland. We have a BIG house less community here. There are lots of places where people park in their van or car, and most businesses are cool with it. We also have a lot of resources and laws to protect the homeless here.
I love your vibe and energy. Truly inspiring me to simplify my life and refocus on what’s important to me… my faith and nature 💗💗💗 keep rockin girl
Your video just popped up. I don’t know where to start, but your story has really touched my heart.
Stay strong and don’t worry about what anyone thinks or says. The main thing is you have Jesus in your heart. Without him we have nothing. Just remember your not alone. Stay safe!!!
Hi im Jeff,
My wife and I live in Southern California and have had a good life so far. We both love helping out other people in need of pretty much anything. If you find yourself in need just reach out to us and your prayers will be answered.
God Bless, and have a safe night.
Jeff and Sheri
@@_eXraided_ lmao
Just subscribed. Sucks that you’re living in your car, but looks like you’re making the best of it. TH-cam is a huge community, so I’m sure you’re gonna get a lot of support. And you’re also going to inspire others who are struggling and finding themselves homeless, especially during these hard times. Life has gotten to expensive after the pandemic that those who were struggling before the pandemic have found themselves in even worse situations now.
I’m sorry that you have no family or friends to lean on. I hope that through this community you can find trustworthy people whom you can eventually call your friend and family.
Keep on smiling and spreading love to the world!! You will reap what you sow, so keep being positive and spreading it for others to catch.
Beautiful comment💕
I recommend also tinting your windows. For my car, which I use for driving (and parking) in a HOT area, I chose a slightly darker tint. 15? If that number means anything. Ceramic!
I wouldn’t mind having curtains for additional sun protection. ☀️
Interesting how by the way you speak, look, carry yourself etc- I would never guess you're in this situation. Goes to show you never know what people are going through.
I've dealt with depression most of my life (I'm 30) and it's become worse over the last couple years. No one has caught on and I've only told a few people over the years. All of which were surprised and had no idea. Point is- you never truly know. I know times are hard for you but not only do you have a great personality but apparently making videos is your thing. I can already tell you're going to do really well on this platform so early congrats 👏
Wish u the best with ur mental health journey Brother..I feel ya about the getting worse as u get older I experience a similar situation..
Nobody can believe she is in this situation.
When you are so pretty life is so easy.
I cant understand how a model like her can be homeless more than a day.
I connect with you more than I do with other people that are living in their cars or vans because you need to do this to pay your bills and save a little cash during this recession I've been there and know how hard it is and you are doing a great job.
Agreed 💯 friend
dont be picky choosy
@@clickclackbang18 I don't think anyone that is living in their vehicles is being picky choosey. How about you pray practicing a little compassion and not being judgemental.
I understand where you're coming from. I too sleep in my car at night. I work at a steakhouse restaurant, so I get Perks there and the cooks give me free food if I ask them. I go to a food and Coalition place for showers and meals. Definitely save ao.e money there. On the weekends I'm off fishing at different areas. Tomorrow after work, I start my 10 days of vacation with my classmate and his family. The couty fair is in town there. Should be fun. I like your setup in your car. That's great that you read everyone's comments. Been living in my car for 2.5 months so far. I do laundry at the laundromat. I have a storage where I keep things that I don't have room in my 4 Dr sedan('04 VW). Thanks for sharing and as always, be safe...😃👍👌👊🙏🚙❤️❤️❤️
Idk how I got here. But it’s fascinating to hear how people live in their car and despite their situation keep moving forward 💕
I know there are some van lifers and also people that live in small older rvs that have some apps that tell them place they can camp at that are safe idk the site or maybe you have been told about it already. I just found your page and I’m cheering you on. I have always had a little depression but the last year I really started to struggle with depression and anxiety so I can relate to you. It looks like you are getting lots of attention on YT congratulations 🎉 I’m sure you know already but I just want to say be careful as you get more popular on who to trust. Heck yeah you can find anything on Amazon lol.I’m excited to see your journey. As you get more subscribers the trolls and “perfect “ people come out too to bash and tell you everything you’re doing wrong or whatever anyways stay strong 💪 don’t let those people get you down don’t worry about having to explain yourself to them all because most of the critics aren’t here because they like you they are her because that’s what they get off doing so smoke a j and relax 🙃🙂
Man your videos hit home, I was in a horrible relationship and just had a baby at the time and walked miles ...... Ugh I hate those memories but I acknowledge that's how I made my wonderful life what it is today. Blessings to you. Great things are coming your way❤️
You’re An inspiration to a lot of people. I don’t know if this is an option for you, however; campgrounds might help with your parking problems. Legally you can stay (if I remember correctly) up to 30 days before you have to move for at least a week. I don’t remember exactly how much it costs but I do remember it wasn’t too expensive. My prayers are with you & please stay as safe as possible. God Bless you. 🙏
dont know about out in cali but in the east 14 day stay then cant stay until another 14 go by and 15-20 bucks a day if you can find a place that has an opening and its getting have to find -most want you to have at least a tent to stay in
Hi Ari, I came across you by accident really & your story really touched me.
I live on the east coast of Scotland & send huge hugs & love.
I think it’s an absolute disgrace that in 2022 your situation is what it is but the way you seem to be coping is testament to your character. You’re one brave, tough woman. Not everyone is as resilient. It’s such a positive quality. I’m going to stick with you on your journey & have now subscribed.

Cool! I just found your videos! We are the same age. I'm thinking about quitting my job and living in my car because that's how much I've grown to hate my job. I hate the thought of working just to pay for a place to sleep! The price for an apartment now should be a crime! I think I'm going to trade in my car for a van and convert it. I want to just travel and work temp jobs to get by for a while. Keep the videos coming!
You are on the RIGHT PATH regardless of how harsh it might be at the moment. Just stumbled upon your video from 2 weeks ago today and heard your comment about NOT going the “Sugar Daddy” route. That shows a lot of good personal INTEGRITY and good moral values. I can see good things in your future. We all have a story and we all make mistakes. Stay positive and keep trudging forward. It will get better and happy belated birthday. Cheers. One more tip. If you would like to maximize room you can take your car to a dealership close by and they can definitely help you remove your backseats in a few minutes for free to give you full access to your trunk and more “sleep room”. I’ve been traveling up and down the west coast. Sold everything being semi retired and taking a few years vacation. I’ll checkout your other tips on traveling. Thanks for the great interesting videos.

You’re right bro she’s doing well man. I’m not buying the whole pity potty
What about the other 100,000 homeless who aren’t pretty
Focus on their strengths.
I'll get down voted to oblivion and called a sexist pig. Now that that's out of the way, why do a lot of women these days enjoy being SO independent? To the point it sometimes leads them to live like this. Why can't they settle down, find a decent husband, live life in a humble way?
There are plenty of good guys out there. Don't have to be so alone.
@@superdave4543 Dating is not easy
I'm glad you are opening up and looking, and sounding better. “I find hope in the darkest days, and focus in the brightest.”
Too the people telling her to get a SD have no idea what it feels like to have a man who bullies you or makes fun of you when they get mad and rubs it in your face that they are your main provider. Im a married stay at home mom who works partime and I still have to hear in every arguement that I’m broke and have no say. I really wanna take my jeep and just run away and live out my car but I’m scared to leave my son behind. Also I’m not in fear of my life and I do think he would be able to care for and provide for his son because these type of men love their kids but they are very hard and toxic towards women.
True statement my son is more important than any woman ever in my life. The woman can get up and walk away my son needs me to live I’m the provider
Stop with the sugar daddy suggestions. She is too smart independent and Godly to degrade herself with a sugar daddy! It's still prostitution!
This is true, i see it in reverse, ima man with no kids and women these days basically let kids run the home..im successful and its hard to find a woman that can take care of home and accomplish whatever goals she desires to accomplish..its difficult for both women and us men with no kids
Can you get a full time job to become more independent from him? Because some men will just treat you any way they want to when they feel you are dependent on them. Thanks to having a good steady job i was able to get out of an abusive relationship. If i stayed i would have been in an insane asylum for sure. The constant verbal abuse is so toxic and damaging.
@@JCX-9 yes I have 2 jobs that I usually work around homeschooling and house work and cooking he also makes fun of my job when in reality I can bring my baby with me and make a good amount I can make up to 29$ a hour.

I just can’t make a lot of money cause I homeschool, cook and clean and put that above work.
I'm proud of you and the attitude you have. I know you will have days when you get down, but I know you can stay strong! We are living in crazy times. It is so sad that each and every working American cannot afford what they need, the basics of life. Thanks for the videos and stay safe!

Hey, I feel you and I admire your courage. Until 2 weeks ago I was also planning to live in my car but I just couldn’t dare so I ended up renting a seriously cheap and crappy studio in the middle of the desert. Then I came across your video and said to myself ‘i should’ve done the same’. I sincerely hope you settle down soon in a place which will warm your heart.
I’ve got 6 months left on my lease in my apartment so I am prepping and planning now and trying to learn all I can so any and all tips are greatly appreciated.
You’re such a brave person, not a lot of people can do what you’re doing. Stay safe out there & keep your head up!!
First of all Happy belated Birthday. Just recently came across your videos.You are such an amazing person and have a great outlook on life, even in the situation you are in. That says a lot about the type of person you are. I have been binge watching your videos. The part of this video about the Sugar Daddy really had me laughing. You definitely don't NEED one of those. I have a feeling you are going to be a very successful person.
I really hope you get more subs and get your videos monetized soon, that would really help you out tremendously. I will continue to pray for you and watch your journey. God bless you
The hardest times made me harder, more motivated, and when the worst was over, very proud I came out a better man. I know I can handle anything life throws at me, and it definitely gave me a great perspective for what I have now.
Your strength and positivity is inspirational.. it will guide you where you need to go
be safe

Yes zaddy. 👩🏿💅🏼
are you still a poor?
I would say when you can go get TINT in your car , maybe something not extremely dark but dark enough that when you put your blinds it's not obvious
Just came across your video. I really enjoyed it. Plus,I feel ya with trying to out your hair in a ponytail. My hair is very long & heavy especially summer frizzy hair. Can't wait to see your journey. Sending tons of Prayers & love.
A tip since you are blowing up in subs (and you should be able to monetize soon, which can help in income if you continue to grow)
Set up a few Amazon affiliate links and put them in your description. Something like a link to the curtain, even if the click doesnt end up in a sale, if they buy something during the same session, you will get small kickbacks for Amazon credit. It won't be a lot of money, but you will start to save when purchasing.
The thing I’d worry most about is having my vehicle break down…especially if you can’t save money for any possible future car repairs. Hopefully you have a credit card for emergencies such as that.
You have a really great personality and I could see you having a lucrative TH-cam/tik Tok career.
Thanks for the links to the car curtains.
This is to all your supporters. Thank you for showing this beautiful person what love and humanity is all about. I don't know her but, her story relates to many of us. There will always be ups and downs in life but, knowing that there are still people in this world that truly care. God bless you all.
Also I’m a manager at Starbucks and Starbucks are hiring everywhere.The starting wage recently went up and Starbucks now pays between 15 and 21.

Possible build a team together and help each other.. cause its a struggle in this economy on 1 paycheck. It definetly helps when ur significant other can contribute to build a strong team...

I mentioned it in another video, but please look into hotel parking lots. Big hotels and resorts with large lots. Don't park in the same place too often and switch from a few hotels every few days too. I kinda consider it my little secret because I know the layouts so well, that I can utilize certain restrooms and basically have them to myself. Let me know if I can help you with some ideas.

@@stansmith5610 not only that, once she's got enough followers and getting money through TH-cam and patreons how will she keep this "homeless" thing going when she's probably gonna make way more than 90% of us people who actually have a job lol
I just discovered your videos. It's a change from all the other videos I watch on vanlife since here it's something you didn't choose but you undergo... I wish you lots of courage because it can't be easy 💪 We feel through your videos that you're a sincere person. Don't change and stay as you are! I can't wait for you to open your Patreon page, it will allow me to help you in a small way. Anyway, thank you for what you share with us (and it helps me to improve my English. So sorry for my English which must be not so good...)
And for your iPad, have you tried cleaning the iPad charging connector? It's often because of a lot of dust that gets into the port that the iPad doesn't charge anymore because there is no contact. You have to go slowly to remove the dust with a small object like a toothpick. Once done, blow a little inside to remove what's left and with a little luck, it will charge again 😉
Hi Ari, Your videos are great no need to keep them short I Really enjoy them. I wanted to share something with you I’m 61 and I’ve been thinking of living out of my suv for a while now I’m struggling between the rent my car Pymts the insurance the light and all the other bills I have can’t afford them anymore. Sometimes don’t have a dollar left. I’m struggling with the idea I’m not young and healthy as you , but it’s gotten to a point that I have to make a choice.
Thank you for just being vulnerable and authentic! You’re so brave for what you do, I pray to God that he protects you out there, and opens new doors for you soon! My wife, and I, would love to be your friends, sending you my blessings 🙏🏼
Cheering you on girl! Found your videos today and I’m hooked on your energy and attitude. Sending you all the light, love and little bit I can do to help my fellow human. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all. One love ✌🏽
I love your videos . You have very positive vibes which I appreciate and you shouldn’t shorten your videos 💕
I love it your videos are very interesting and entertaining. Love your energy and positivity. The longer the videos the better haha! Take care
Keep it up, stay strong, you're inspiring!
Hello Ari. A blessing just ran across your channel. I have now gone through more than 90% of all your videos and am inspired. Thanks for the inspiration I'm sure you have instilled in others and me during the time I have viewed your content. The world has more than enough negativity, skepticism and doubt. I'm note struggling through homelessness nor ever have but I completelty understand what motivates your to go on this journey. Your value orientation is a lot heathier than those claiming to have much materially. I'm 53 years old, a profeesional (by the world's standards) but have made some changes in my personal life to move away from the "materialistic" values that define our culture. The connection must be with humanity and those whoe are suffering. I see you have not posted any content since last year and pray you are safe. Please continue your current journey all the while staying connected to GOD. Peace
Ari your safety is number one. I want to do this. I'm making plans to do it. But I'm going to try my driveway first to see if I feel comfortable.
Absolutely fascinated by your honesty and ability, hope you remain safe and get the job and home you deserve, belated birthday wishes🥰
Love that I found your videos. I too struggle with depression. It definitely gets hard.
Happy belated Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 You deserved a special day and I hope it was great. Just remember that GA can be in your windshield and you would love it here. Freedom at its finest. I've helped others, raised kids that their parents didn't want to, and have been all over the world. I don't play the 'bs' life but will always lend a helping hand. I've been a solo woman for 18 years and have no regrets. Take care and be safe.
I drive for an expedite company a van I live in a different place every day and get paid well to do it and the company pays for van and gas and I love it and Ian 54 yrs old. You should check into it you would be perfect for the job... Expidite driver...... Look up panther expedite!!!!
..
@@hillbilly1257 Hi! Thank you for sharing this! I just checked into it but their website says you have to have a CDL, which I don't have. Is that required to drive the van as well or just the truck?
No not for a van just a basic drivers license. But there's lots of other companies. Just try expedite companies van driver's....i uasually run east coast mostly but west coast some. Good luck
Oh yea I'm in Memphis now going to Ohio tonight.
@@hillbilly1257 Thank you for the information, very helpful!
Tinted windows will definately help to stay low key and will also keep you much cooler. I did that on my car when i was homeless and it was life saver😊
Just found your channel recently, I cannot imagine what you are going through right now, and with no support system available some more. For that, I think you are very strong and admire your strength. Hope your channel will grow huge and all the best!
Please don't shorten your videos, if anything make them longer lol 😊
You seem like such a genuine soul. If you are ever comfortable with setting up a gofundme, for example, I would definitely love to contribute. Take care!
I normally do not watch videos like this but for some reason I clicked on yours and felt immediately intrigued by you and your story. I am currently living and working in my truck day in and day out so with that being said if I can offer any advice, information, or assistance please feel free to reach out to me directly. I haven’t been to California in years but I think I would enjoy sitting down and having a meaningful conversation with you because I find your energy interesting. I wish you peace, love and prosperity.
Omg you're so sweet. Your voice reminds me of Britney Spears 🤗 It's shocking that you live in a car but with how unaffordable housing is, it makes sense and I can see how it could be the best decision. Watching a few of your videos I am very grateful for the good in my life & I'm happy for you that you seem to be doing ok and that you're connecting with some lovely people online, and inspiring others in the process 🧚♀️🌿
General question. Isn't choosing "alternate housing" different than being absolutely forced to live in "alternate housing"?
Glad I found your channel you're a really humble person 🙏 😊 I'm going through that situation rn and it's real life!!I'm only 24 stay in Seattle been doing that for 2month stay strong and be safe out there beautiful❤💛
Happy belated birthday, one woman to another I’ve been struggling with housing since 2017 and I’m disabled on top of it so it’s really hard. I used to work in a Fortune 100 successful company but life can change so quickly. People don’t think it can happen to them or that we’re dirty/lazy/addicts or whatever other negative stereotype there is. The economy and inflation is bad and only getting worse in the future. America is in for a lot of horrific things in the near future. Getting a personal relationship with our Creator and Savior Jesus Christ is key. He will be the ONLY WAY any of us makes it through what is coming. I’m praying for you and for all of us. The struggle IS REAL!! God bless you and keep you under the shadow of His wings! He loves you Ari!!! 🙏🥰😊
You are awesome and an inspiration. Stay strong and keep the faith!
I just came across your channel, I’m rooting for you!!!! Subscribed! Keep your head up!!!
You have such great energy and an awesome spirit. Stay safe and sending great vibeS!♡
There are different kinds of Sugar Daddies. In this case she's creating a channel for thousands of Sugar Daddies to contribute views and comments and later she's have a Patreon for direct payments. It's the new Sugar Daddy.
Have you considered setting up a patreon so your viewers can support you? You are sharing your life with your viewers and it would be nice to generate another source of income for you. May come in handy to help you find a place to live or times when you can stay in a hotel now and then. Praying for you and your future.
Great storytelling through editing and I think the voice over was top shelf. (I know I know...I'm supposed to say prayers and feel sorry...but you have a great imagination and looks like you have the TH-cam gift. Very few people can compose such a good video off their telephones. Dreams are within your reach too!)
Hey my friend Joe sent me your channel cause I live out of my van in here in the Ojai-Ventura-LA area. Camp Comfort up in Ojai has coin showers you can use and decent bathrooms. It’s got a park that’s open for day use so the facilities are there. 🤷♂️ I park out here nearby and do my run/workout and then bathroom shower before I take on the day. Can also park out near the orchards in the backroads of Ojai too. When you’re out in LA, you can park on the beachside street parking near Venice and Santa Monica. There’s also safe parking programs out there that let you park. Passing that along with what I’ve learned being out here, hope it helps!
Your channel popped up on my feed, I hope this channel makes your life better in more ways than one. Keep the faith 💜 happy belated birthday 🎉
Your story is very inspiring and thanks so much for sharing with us the life you live. Stay strong and know that good things are coming your way. I look forward to the day when you post of a video of your own place.
The world is literally lacking souls like you 💜
Love your haul. I always go with your sizing recommendations because we are similar shape. You never fail!💜
I lived in my van for about 8 months and currently live in my van 5 nights a week because my current jobsite is 1hr away and I find a few hrs a night in my van beats the commute and having to wake up early.
At least in a van/car every little mod you come up with gives a little bit of joy.
My advice, get an electric toy I have an electric skateboard and I feel blessed every time I use it, you get to see so much more of the world than on foot or in a car. I wish I had have had it when I lived in my van for those 8 months, I would have left the van more often and seen so much more of where ever I was staying at the time.
Also, if a parking lot is safe but doesn’t have security, it likely has a ton of lights. And it messes up your sleep patterns (not to mention all the alarming sounds at night)
Loving your videos! You’re so relatable at least to me you are, I’m far from rich I struggle daily but separation from social media and coming to terms with the simplicity of my reality has completely changed my outlook on life ! I eventually want to go on the road #vanlife or skoolie but I have 3 young kids no friends orbs family and honestly not in the best of situation that I need to escape from so if I ever get the nerve to finally do it I would love to visit cali as one of my first destinations! Of course the main struggle is income unfortunately but I keep faith your know how it is :(. remotely working would be the absolute blessing I need but for now I’m so inspired by your story and if u ever need anything just a friend to cry to id be glad to listen we can all learn a lot from one another in this life ! But I’ll be following your journey for sure ! Keep your head up babe you’re amazing and so tough !
Rachel, you too are pretty amazing yourself! So sweet, kind and encouraging to a total stranger, I'll be praying 🙏🏻 for you as well 😊♡
@@QueenHive4 thank you 😊
What's up Ari. I had came across to your video that had caught my attention and, without tearing up my heart genuinely as well as sincerely goes out too you on so many different levels because i could relate. There are many words that could be spoken in this situation but, I would be writing you chapters 1,2,3,4,5 of a life story and I would not want too bore you nor, anyone else who chooses to come across to these comments lol. Listen, you are a soldier girl, you are much stronger mentally then you may think. Your situation right now may not be an easy one but, through everyday and every night you choose too keep a smile on that face of yours and go to work, and that is by choice, that right there, is strength. Keep that head of yours too the Almighty Heavenly Father God's sky's because he and his guardian Angel's are watching over you🙏. Do not give up God will soon turn your situation around. As far as you stating that you do not have any friends that is not true at all because , you have us here on TH-cam. So if there is ever a time where you need too speak about something that is on you're mind or maybe even vent, do not hesitate too reach out us. you are in my prayers Ari and I hope that everyone that comes across her videos prays for her as well. Keep the luv alive. Blessings 🙏
I'm not homeless but I have struggled. I just randomly found your video in my feed. I would love to hear more from you, your content is great. I would like to ask, if you have t answered it already, what happened to your family?
Would you elaborate why you I wear head wraps and hats? And to avoid your hair hitting the roof, you can do a nice twist/bun at the back of your head or on your neck. It will be nice and neat and won’t flop around.
I would personally get a steering wheel lock to prevent car theft as an additional layer of security and peace of mind.
hey, there, ari. I was rolling around my house with a spray bottle trying to find a fly that has been bugging me all day and your video came on. I really admire you very much. you are a strong person, but I just want to say if you ever need a place I have 2 empty bedrooms in my house in Watkinsville Georgia. it's free. all you have to do is help me out of bed and then you are free to go. I have muscular dystrophy and im trying to save money on caregiving. I live alone. no pressure at all. just wanted to mention it. all the best to you and please be careful always. im glad I found your channel. enjoy your chick peas ... ryon 😀
Not creepy at all lol I know you’re trying to help but a random stranger on the internet invites someone to live with them … uhhh ? Lol
@@bigdz5969 well id rather offer and seem creepy than not offer at all. im the one taking the risk anyway. I use a power chair and have no muscles. she could easily kick my butt. also, big d z, if you were homeless I would do the same for you. that's just what Georgia Bulldogs do 😉
Many Happy Birthday wishes! You are so beautiful and have gorgeous hair! You are 3 years younger than my youngest daughter. I want to adopt you! Please be safe! Do your coworkers know you live in your car ? Your channel is growing! Much love ❤️
Hey girly! I’m a car lifer and my bday is July 25!! I’ve been doing car life for two years now.I’m thinking about vlogging again on my old channel
Do it! And happy belated love!❤️
@@ALLinWithAri you Leo
I'm a travel nurse but on many occasions housing is too expensive to justify the cost and I stay in the rental Car. I will usually ask if I can get an suv and tell them my situation and sometime you never know the universe smiles on you. For me I just stay at the rest stops , typically have good bathrooms and no one bothers you 24 hour gym perfect for staying in shape and of course showering 😄
Whole heart - hill song 🎧 god is good
I hope one day oler can meet you are a literal angel. You are so loved. Your first video I came across I was crying Bc I slept in a car first few months this year and how warm it made me feel to have you make the most out of it and then TH-cam it and not feel shame. And that’s what the enemy wants and it’s beautiful to embrace what is a season that is temporary and that’s what people don’t know that God is ALWAYS working
