Believe it or not, but you don't need to shower every day. Your skin will be healthier without it. And with my van I just shower by swimming in rivers and lakes.
Now this is the first Van I’ve seen that I would use . She did this so beautiful and with all the things that you really need . Glamour and a shower and toilet love it . you rock girl ! Be safe out there .
A Queen? So she rules and is better than others? Well, I guess we know what happened to some Kings and Queens when they thought they were better than others
I love that you have everything you would have in a house, I can’t imagine going without a shower and/or toilet. Ur van is hella fancy sis. Good job on the deco.

@@joemarks8548 lol y’all love calling people racists it’s funny . How is being inspired to do something for yourself after seeing someone who looks like you , racist ? It’s literally just nice to see someone who looks like you doing something that wouldn’t necessarily be normal for someone who is black . You wouldn’t see it the way we would because I’m assuming you’re not black . You don’t live the same live as a black person , I don’t like the same life as a Hispanic or an Asian , I’ll never talk down on their experiences because I don’t walk in those shoes . You should learn to do the same tbh .
What you do is so awesome. I traveled to Europe and the Orient as a young Black woman and learned that all people have the same wish. We all want the best for our friends and family. All people in the world have a lot in common. I wish you well and keep up the great work you are doing as a blogger and traveler. I am so proud of you!
Would you like this if I traveled as a white woman or am Indian woman or a Latino woman. How come only black people get complimented if people say they have been abused for centuries. How can you insult this woman like this.
@@cheri6174 it's called representation. It's nice seeing people who look like me, doing things that we aren't used to seeing in the mainstream media. And to be honest, yes, I love seeing solo women of all races living alternatively. You were the only one who brought bitterness and negativity. 🙄 Enjoy your day! ❤️❤️
Seeing a black woman in vanlife brings joy to my heart! You're maybe the second solo I've seen and the fifth overall. Enjoy your travels ma'am! Here comes the "all lives matter" crowd lol
It’s not a regular occurrence so I get it. You can see just how many videos include black people vs those that don’t, so when you do see one and they’re happy, you feel that joy too lol Don’t let these people dim that for you. They know what you mean.
This must be a mirage... I can hardly believe my eyes. In a word; gorgeous! Glam shower, fully-appointed kitchen, 2Die4 backsplash, standing fridge, & no propane! Storage, accessible controls/sensors, plush bedding, chic & stylish decor (the Chanel quilting, so extra!). There isn’t one square inch I would change. Kudos to you Antoinette! 🙌🏼 Best. Van. Ever.
I think this is the prettiest van conversion I've seen, and I think it's also the first time I've seen a shower in a van! Love seeing a woman of color leading the charge on next-level #VanLife!
One of the best van conversions I’ve seen. Really high quality and good finish, with all the important bits. Fabulous to see a black female van lifer and also love that she is a glamorous van lifer! ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous home! Now, this is more my style. This reminds me of another van life I watched. The young lady had a hanging closet. She said, “Just because I live in a van, doesn’t mean I want to live like I’m homeless.”
YES!!!! not only did you come through with satisfying my request but you interviewed Antionette who is an awesome young lady and as you can hear, as I was stating things are a little different for black people in Vanlife unfortunately and this is just what I was stating when you asked what we would like to see on this channel and someone came for me for asking the question BUT as you can hear it is an issue of safety for us and acceptance of course which is just sad in such an awesome movement but Thank You for listening...
Thank you for sharing what you enjoy! Security is a big reason why I've hesitated from taking van life seriously, and seeing how you've made it possible, it's very encouraging for me.
I am a white woman and as soon as I saw you I thought to myself, I haven’t seen another black person do “van life” and traveling. I am so glad you address this and I love that you are living your best life the way YOU want. Not held back by ANY stereotypes/barriers. Keep breaking barriers and Keep living your best life❤️
You are the first Black van-lifer I have seen and I am so grateful I was made aware of the stigmas and barriers that minorities face when doing van life or heck even just traveling. I never knew that, and I was so inspired by the company you started! Thank you for sharing your story!!
Heavy sigh. Head shake. You did notice that she said she doesn't run into problems and that She must be aware of her surroundings. Psst so does everyone else! Interesting since everyone's convinced that only white people travel in vans! Really? So that means white people are in danger of other white people in Vans? How about everybody is in danger from everybody no matter what color? When will the B.S. stop?
An issue minority’s face today is constantly being patronized by people who are surprised to find they can think for themselves. It’s called the soft bigotry of low expectations. I don’t fault you, it’s the programming from our media. In truth, economic opportunities for minorities are greater than for you and I.
The stigma is an illusion just like the barrier she made up in her head. You just do not see black people living in Vans not bc its a stigma or barrier they just don't do it as often. One a person of any color does something out of blue or not ordinary its not a special event. Sarah my grammar is not the best nor my punctuation but what are you going to do with that grateful awareness that you have been stowed upon by this charming barrier breaking stigma diluting black QWEEN!?
@@Frost-tb9qs Most of the problem stems from the black community itself as often put if they are seen reading a book or choosing to not participate in the "culture" of sex and thug life they are accused of "acting white" which There is no such thing. Their community has chosen to separate themselves. I guess soon driving around in a Van and enjoying the outdoor life they will be accused of "acting white" The Ridiculousness of it all. Somehow this discussion will be labeled racist.
I love seeing women who look like me out on the road living their best lives! I love your home on wheels. My favorites the marble and gold details with the fresh white backgrounds.💜
Wonderful tour! I wish I had the $$$ to ask Vandemic for “the Antoinette setup” since that is such a beautiful and functional design. Lovely way to find Antoinette, and I’m looking forward to catching up with more content. Beautifully captured, as always, Tiny Home Tours crew!
Ive watched several TH-cam videos on vans, type C,B etc. and this to me is the best design and functionality that I've seen. Love the deep kitchen sink.
Absolutely stunning conversion! I must admit I was intrigued when I saw a Black woman vanlifer (I’m an older white woman who is hoping to do this soon- I might steal your setup) so thank you for telling your story. You are fabulous. I am also a traveller who thinks travel is an essential education.
I love this van the most of all van conversions that I’ve seen. It’s beautiful, girly and glamorous...l adore Antoinette, she is fabulous! She breaks the stereotype that single van lifers are broke, begging for freebies and always need some type of help. And most importantly she has a real bathroom and shower, no buckets. I could live in that van comfortably.
We love Anttoniette !!! Her channel is one of my favorites; and her mama is hilarious when she’s had convos with her on there. Helping pave the way for women of color; keep shining girl! 💜
This is one of the nicest most elegant van-homes that I have ever seen. And what a lovely lady-so beautiful and elegant herself! Just stunning all of it!💕

I always look for toilet and shower, if the van doesn't have it, I move to the next video no matter how awesome the camper van might be. I also hate the ones that have their port a potty next to their food area and just hide it....looks very unsanitary. Your van is stunning, great job.
@ZZ I feel the EXACT same way! I recently saw a video where midway the van owner showed the BUCKET she used as a toilet!😱 and no place to wash herself. Like seriously🤦♀️
One of my favourites. I love that she loves glamour and makes no apology for and got it i spades in her van. It is beautiful, and feminine and just enough glamour to make you feel really good about being in a tiny tiny space, with a shower. I wont forget the shower. It has to be the most glamorous shower on the road. Love love love it. :)
YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!! She got a Tiny Home Tours feature!!! Love watching her growth and her videos!! I know that's right Antoinette!!!! Excited for you and thank you Tiny Home Tours for featuring her
Thank you for stating that travel is a necessity not just luxury. I find immersing myself in the different cultures allows me to see to the core of people. It enriches my life to understand the different cultural ways. Heck even in our own country we have many different subcultures indigenous to the regions. I am richer for having traveled.
Yay! I love when people I follow pop up on Tiny Home Tours. She’s one of my favorites and I hope she gains so many more followers from this. I promise she’ll keep you laughing.
“Travel is a Necessity”. Absolutely Beautiful statement and fact. Well done for being the testament to show that “ black folks absolutely do”. ❤️From U.K.🇬🇧
Love the mention of you being aware of your surrounding and discerning It's a reality for black people- sis you are truly breaking barriers and I am proud of you and inspired!! "Travel is a neccesity"
Love the idea of GLOBALLY ABROAD! Will search for more info. Yes! "Travel is a necessity". This pandemic year has challenged the ability to act on that, but having her voice speak it, is important aspirationally. Thanks Sierra, Hillary and Brian for bringing US all together also! Super van! Antoinette is a joy!
This van is freaking AMAZING!!! The design is well thought out and I love the shower/toilet combination. I also love that she’s a beautiful black woman doing van life. Thank you for sharing this great video!
As my children were growing up, I encouraged them to travel the world. I must say they have taking my advice. Even my granddaughters r traveling. U only live once. Enjoy enjoy. My prayers r always with u. My oldest daughter's name is "Yvonne Antoinett". Keep doing ur thing. So proud.
By far my favorite van conversion. She obviously thought this through. Beautiful & functional. Well done - thanks for sharing. If I was younger and a bit less settled ...
What a beautifully, fantastically designed van!! It's THE BEST one I've seen so far- and I swear I've seen hundreds upon hundreds of tiny house van videos over the past few years. As has been said before in the comments, the shower is wonderfully done. Love the lightness and feel of the whole van, plus the gold accents.
I love this van. It is as beautiful as its owner. Antoinette, thank you for sharing your experiences. Travel is indeed a necessity. An eye-opener. A mind-expander. May your future adventures continue to broaden your horizons and may you encourage others to follow in your footsteps, or at the very least, to start out on their own path.
Beautiful aesthetic van. Love your life’s mission and your van “Zion”. I have to say I really love the indoor shower/toilet. I am a photographer, I currently travel & camp extensively in my Jeep in the US. Your van is a luxury living space you must love to work and live in. Thanks for sharing💕.
So glad you showcased Antoinette! You did a wonderful job of highlighting her personality and how that’s expressed in her home on wheels. Great job all around!
This has got to be the prettiest interior design for a van conversion I've ever seen. I'm absolute in love with all the little details. I never really liked the bench style seats but yours look so comfy just like a real couch. Now if I could just figure out a way to have all that but with a murphy bed. Hmmm.
You are SO classy! This is the most beautiful and awesome van conversion I've seen yet. I love the color scheme and the way you have everything arranged. A castle for a princess!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I wish you many "Blessings" as you "safely" journey through the United States and Europe. 💝
This is phenomenal design with excellent use of space. It’s warm, organic, functional & inviting. You & Vandemic might want to do other projects in the future.
Love love love this layout! Antoinette has a beautiful attitude and down to earth personality, what a wonderful spirit! Enjoy your travels and be safe! ❤️
Now this is what I’m talking about. I could live in that van and plan on it once my daughter graduates and I become an empty nester. Thanks for inspiring me!
I’ve been subscribed to Antoinette for a while and she deserves all the exposure in the world. She’s so chill, has an awesome personality and really relatable. Go, AY, Go❤️
Best van conversion I have ever seen! What an awesome person - so thankful she is able to do this! She’s an encouragement to all who would be looking to try van life! ❤️👏🏻
Just gorgeous. Oh, and, the van is lovely too. :) Very elegant. Love the quilted wall fabric. Love the surfaces. Love the fake eucalyptus. Just really well done.
I have been looking at vans for my husband and myself for many months now (8-9) and yours is, without a doubt, the nicest one I've seen so far! With 2 of us, I would probably go for the longer wheel base because I want us to be able to get away from each other a bit more LOL but the colours, the finishes - OMG - that Lagun table is the bomb! - and everything else you've done is so excellent. I notice that this was JUST before COVID struck. Hoping you still got out and lived your best life during these past 2 crazy years. What an inspiration!
Love her tiny home! The marble and gold through out is really pretty. And of course, I too would want a bath room and hers is perfect. Enjoyed the video! ❤️💜💚
Loving the I like showers! Beautiful white with gold accents!! Farmhouse sink is gorgeous! Glamorous on every level! If I do a can I’d do an air fryer too! Glad to see a cool can manage in a van!
Beautiful, Cozy, Stylish and inspiring. Proud to see a Sister living her dream and encouraging others in the process. I found myself smiling and nodding throughout the whole view.
I love what you said about travel being necessary to experience different cultures and people. Very beautiful home you have it speaks about your mission and your journey. Thank you Queen.
I’m heading this route. I’m also tired of “black folks don’t do” dictating my life. You go girl!!

So true!!! I don't understand why ppl prefer to have basics of hygiene outside of their home (?)
Exactly. And some proudly state they only shower once or twice a week 😟
Believe it or not, but you don't need to shower every day. Your skin will be healthier without it. And with my van I just shower by swimming in rivers and lakes.
"As you can see, I am on the glamorous side." LOVE IT.
Her van is an awesome build. I love her vibes. Post Covid I need that nomad life a bit. Great van! Following for sure!

I was thinking the same thing. Beautiful van!
exactly. this is the first van that i've seen that i would use.
I said that too. She had me with the full shower and kitchen.
What an absolute Queen. I'm in awe of this woman, her drive and initiative. I love that the van just feels like an extension of her personality.

@ZZ I feel the EXACT same way! I recently saw a video where midway the van owner showed the BUCKET she used as a toilet!😱 and no place to wash herself. Like seriously🤦♀️
I LOVE your van, wow!! Absolutely with you 100% on the shower and toilet. Beautiful build!
One of my favourites. I love that she loves glamour and makes no apology for and got it i spades in her van. It is beautiful, and feminine and just enough glamour to make you feel really good about being in a tiny tiny space, with a shower. I wont forget the shower. It has to be the most glamorous shower on the road.
Love love love it. :)
YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!! She got a Tiny Home Tours feature!!! Love watching her growth and her videos!! I know that's right Antoinette!!!! Excited for you and thank you Tiny Home Tours for featuring her
Thank you :-)
@@AntoinetteYvonne who made your van? It is very glam! I love it. Very happy you are doing great.
@@celiabesore3298 She mentions it in this video. Without going back to the video, I believe she said the company is Vandemic? If I'm wrong...sorry!!
Thank you for stating that travel is a necessity not just luxury. I find immersing myself in the different cultures allows me to see to the core of people. It enriches my life to understand the different cultural ways. Heck even in our own country we have many different subcultures indigenous to the regions. I am richer for having traveled.
Yay! I love when people I follow pop up on Tiny Home Tours. She’s one of my favorites and I hope she gains so many more followers from this. I promise she’ll keep you laughing.
Thank you! Blessings
“Travel is a Necessity”. Absolutely Beautiful statement and fact. Well done for being the testament to show that “ black folks absolutely do”. ❤️From U.K.🇬🇧
Love the mention of you being aware of your surrounding and discerning
It's a reality for black people- sis you are truly breaking barriers and I am proud of you and inspired!!
"Travel is a neccesity"
Yay!! AY is one of my favorite people ever! Her content is always inspiring, encouraging, and fun!! ❤️
Thank you 😊
Hi Antoinette I'm a new subscriber and I like what I see your van is gorgeous as well as you are enjoy your travels and have fun fun fun
💚👍🏽
"I opted for a shower, because... I like showers." Haha, perfect reason! @ 1:03 Knew at that moment I'd love the van tour.
Lol. I like showers.
Love the idea of GLOBALLY ABROAD! Will search for more info. Yes! "Travel is a necessity". This pandemic year has challenged the ability to act on that, but having her voice speak it, is important aspirationally. Thanks Sierra, Hillary and Brian for bringing US all together also! Super van! Antoinette is a joy!
Beautiful van build!! Looks like it has a real cozy homey feel! Safe travels.
I love your set up and the idea of going abroad and setting up your van for future travels is on point! You go girl!! ❤
This van is freaking AMAZING!!! The design is well thought out and I love the shower/toilet combination. I also love that she’s a beautiful black woman doing van life. Thank you for sharing this great video!
There is nothing beautiful about a Black woman telling white folks that Black people do not travel.
As my children were growing up, I encouraged them to travel the world. I must say they have taking my advice. Even my granddaughters r traveling. U only live once. Enjoy enjoy. My prayers r always with u. My oldest daughter's name is "Yvonne Antoinett". Keep doing ur thing. So proud.
My favorite build that I have seen so far! I love the sleek glam style and amenities that she has incorporated into her van 💕
I yearn for that Lifestyle. Discernment is Important.
By far my favorite van conversion. She obviously thought this through. Beautiful & functional. Well done - thanks for sharing. If I was younger and a bit less settled ...
What a beautifully, fantastically designed van!! It's THE BEST one I've seen so far- and I swear I've seen hundreds upon hundreds of tiny house van videos over the past few years. As has been said before in the comments, the shower is wonderfully done. Love the lightness and feel of the whole van, plus the gold accents.
One of the best van conversions I've seen, and I look at nearly ever conversion I can find.
I love this van. It is as beautiful as its owner. Antoinette, thank you for sharing your experiences. Travel is indeed a necessity. An eye-opener. A mind-expander. May your future adventures continue to broaden your horizons and may you encourage others to follow in your footsteps, or at the very least, to start out on their own path.
Thank you. :-)
Beautiful aesthetic van. Love your life’s mission and your van “Zion”. I have to say I really love the indoor shower/toilet. I am a photographer, I currently travel & camp extensively in my Jeep in the US. Your van is a luxury living space you must love to work and live in. Thanks for sharing💕.
A shower and a toilet are a must ... Especially for hygienic purposes. It then feels like a complete home❤️❤️
So glad you showcased Antoinette! You did a wonderful job of highlighting her personality and how that’s expressed in her home on wheels. Great job all around!
This has got to be the prettiest interior design for a van conversion I've ever seen. I'm absolute in love with all the little details. I never really liked the bench style seats but yours look so comfy just like a real couch. Now if I could just figure out a way to have all that but with a murphy bed. Hmmm.
I just love her! Her personality is wonderful! I love seeing realistic and homey vans! I need to do this!
You are SO classy! This is the most beautiful and awesome van conversion I've seen yet. I love the color scheme and the way you have everything arranged. A castle for a princess!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I wish you many "Blessings" as you "safely" journey through the United States and Europe. 💝
Your Van is elegant, fancy and spot clean. Truly beautiful.
This is phenomenal design with excellent use of space. It’s warm, organic, functional & inviting. You & Vandemic might want to do other projects in the future.
Love love love this layout! Antoinette has a beautiful attitude and down to earth personality, what a wonderful spirit! Enjoy your travels and be safe! ❤️
This young lady is simply a breath of fresh air. Keep doing what your doing. And you did a great job in the interview!
Now this is what I’m talking about. I could live in that van and plan on it once my daughter graduates and I become an empty nester. Thanks for inspiring me!
I love that ivory-padded quilting! I'm so glad she talked about it! Very beautiful!!!
I’ve been subscribed to Antoinette for a while and she deserves all the exposure in the world. She’s so chill, has an awesome personality and really relatable. Go, AY, Go❤️
Thank you, honey!
Best van conversion I have ever seen! What an awesome person - so thankful she is able to do this! She’s an encouragement to all who would be looking to try van life!
❤️👏🏻
Just gorgeous. Oh, and, the van is lovely too. :) Very elegant. Love the quilted wall fabric. Love the surfaces. Love the fake eucalyptus. Just really well done.
this van build is so well thought out and gorgeous. what a beautiful home! :)
I have been looking at vans for my husband and myself for many months now (8-9) and yours is, without a doubt, the nicest one I've seen so far! With 2 of us, I would probably go for the longer wheel base because I want us to be able to get away from each other a bit more LOL but the colours, the finishes - OMG - that Lagun table is the bomb! - and everything else you've done is so excellent. I notice that this was JUST before COVID struck. Hoping you still got out and lived your best life during these past 2 crazy years. What an inspiration!
Go on Antoinette , break down those barriers. Bless you and your travels!
What barriers?... Does everything people do have to be tied to melodramatics? cant you just build a van and enjoy a life on the road?
@@michaelflinn2791 Where there is no barrier… Make one up so that you can say you broke it down! LOL!
@Byebye KaveKangs But never any white travelers killed in black areas right? You’re hilarious.
This is truly my favorite "one" so far... This van has all you need & it's very nicely decorated....
Love her tiny home! The marble and gold through out is really pretty. And of course, I too would want a bath room and hers is perfect. Enjoyed the video!
❤️💜💚
Beautiful tour guide, for a beautiful van. Feminine and practical.
OMG, this is one of the best if not the best van built I have seen, and I have binge-watched a lot of them. Go, Sister!
I saw her place before she moved in. So beautiful to see it fitted out and lived in. It's beautiful.
Finally a van lifer who covers popping squats! Love this! Keep it real girl! ❤️
Her shower and living area are SO lovely and the whole build is so well thought out!
I absolutely LOVE her home and have watched a number of her videos! The gold accents throughout just tie everything together.
Loving the I like showers! Beautiful white with gold accents!! Farmhouse sink is gorgeous! Glamorous on every level! If I do a can I’d do an air fryer too! Glad to see a cool can manage in a van!
I watch a lot of these van conversion videos. A lot. This is one of my favorite setups. Great eye for detail, aesthetic and practical ones.
Definitely the best van build I've seen! She has a beautiful set up.
Beautiful, Cozy, Stylish and inspiring. Proud to see a Sister living her dream and encouraging others in the process. I found myself smiling and nodding throughout the whole view.
Travel is a necessity. What an insight ! What a wise person 👏 ❤
Absolutely incredible woman, beautiful van!
I love what you said about travel being necessary to experience different cultures and people. Very beautiful home you have it speaks about your mission and your journey. Thank you Queen.
Thank you.
