I wish you didn’t feel embarrassed , hard times fall on so many of us and it feels like the end but it’s not . I’m not in your shoes but I hope this will pass soon and things get better for you both and your cats ❤❤ it’s ok to cry it’s ok to be angry you are human ❤
Thanks so much for your kind words. It means a lot! The embarrassment definitely comes from a place of insecurity which I am working through. Sharing with all of you has really helped me as a form of therapy oddly enough.
Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities. I was depressed and then found myself living in my car for a bit - 13 or so - years ago. At first, I was embarrassed, and then I felt incredibly free. My creativity was in full bloom, I released some fears, and I realized I was right where I needed to be. I share my story because, well, why not? Sharing is caring. We are human, and we have a variety of experiences. Enjoy your freedom. You have plenty of time to be hunkered down between four walls ❤ much love
Absolutely! When we were renting out a house a couple years ago before starting Van Life, we found ourselves feeling the same way. Tough things happen, but that’s life 😅
Hello my dear I just came upon your video. and I must say there’s no reason to be embarrassed about what you’re going thru. I really do hope your employment situation becomes better. And you did a wonderful job decorating your grandparents home
THANK YOU, FOLKS! 😅❤🎉 Your production values are SO high, your videos are like professional films. This was just beautiful, in both its vulnerability and in its gorgeousness. It was VERY comforting. I pray God will bring you through this low season you are experiencing. 🙏🏽💞🥺What a kind thing you have done for your grandparents... ❤
Youe Grandparents home is beautiful the stairs are like the home I grew up in :). The holidays are difficult for those who have lost loved ones. Cherish their memories & what we have to be thankful a few times a day is a good way to fight the blues. 😊 cute cats 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 💕
Sorry you are going through a difficult time. The fact that you are able to explain to your viewers is I'm sure helpful for you and also your viewers who might be going through something similar. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Wishing you peace and happiness. Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you so much. We are for sure taking the go with the flow advice. Everything will work out. Sharing with all of you makes me feel better. You all are our TH-cam Family 💛
You say so many people in your life are making huge milestones . Please do not compare yourself to others .In life it looks that way. You never know, there might be people wishing to be in your position because despite their sucess they're really unhappy. As you say this shall pass. Be encourged. Thanks for sharing.
You are right. I think while writing this I was in a place where it felt like everything was falling apart. One thing after another kept happening so it was easy for me to compare myself to others. However, I know that I just have to try and be positive and this will soon pass. Thank you for your comment ☺️💛
Thank you for sharing. You make such beautiful videos. You will make it through because you have the right mindset. Our most high will walk you through it, and when you are unable to walk through it ,he will carry you. Enjoy your beautiful life and I will continue to enjoy and be encouraged by your beautiful videos.🙏🏽💪🏽💜🛐💖😘 P.s. Your family have such a beautiful home, full of character. I see where you get it from.💜
You’re not alone in this. What you’re going through will soon be what you went through. Sending loving thoughts and energy. You three have each other and that’s a Lot! Immerse your thoughts in all you are great full for. The sun, the beauty nature has to offer, health. I am grateful everyday I wake, put two feet on the floor, eat, able to do what I need to do. Start and end everyday with a gratitude 🙏. Hope my words are encouraging.
Nnyji and Santi, thank you so much for this lovely video.♥♥ You are wise to surround yourself with beauty to make the journey through the "dark valley" more enjoyable. I would suggest also watching your own videos and see all the beauty and value you have created there. I loved your last Christmas video in the Airbnb.❤
After the leaves fall from the trees, I too, fight off a bit of the blues. Short, dark, wet days etc. and walking the dog in this weather not as enjoyable. But eventually, every year, I hit my stride and get into the quiet rhythm of Winter. I am sending positive vibes your way for the job search😊and wishing you the BEST!!!
Thank you for your authenticity, and for taking us on such a lovely trip around the plant centre. Depression is so hard. Take care and all good wishes to you.
I am so,sorry that you are going through this. Tomorrow will be a be day. Have you thought of therapy? It might help or joining a group for van life people? I wish you peace.🙏🙏🏾 your cats are beautiful ❤. You never know what beautiful things await you tomorrow. Where are you now?it is so beautiful there! Those flowers!🌺
Ah yes! I actually grew up getting therapy and haven’t had it since college. I think it might be best for me to go back. We were in Pennsylvania near Philly! Thank you ☺️💛
Your channel is so lovely. I just watched your baking compilation as well. So amazing what you are accomplishing in your small space. I hope your job search results in something wonderful very soon. ❤️
Santi is more of the painter of the two of us. He actually just submitted some work for an art show. So we’ll be showing that in an upcoming video ☺️ that really helps with his mental health quite a lot
Beloved I am sorry I am new here. I did not see your young man my The Most High Bless and uplifted you both.😊By the way that chocolate cake 😮will make anyone happy 😃 that look so good. Peace and blessings to you both ❤❤
You are working! Your videography is amazingly beautiful and soothing 🎉! ! Reflection is also work - work on yourself, a new ideas and understanding will come out of this, rest for your body...❤
I just want to let you know that your content is currently helping me get through my own very depressive episode. My partner and I are about to pack up what we can carry and go stay with my cousin in Washington state. We live in the south and we are worried about the climate down here surrounding the LGBTQIA community. I am afraid and depressed. My anxiety has been through the roof. I haven't even really been talking to anyone about the move because of how the people around me are viewing my decision. Aside from my partner and one in person friend no one really knows we are leaving or when if they do. Thank you for sharing your content. I find it both calming and motivating in my time of turmoil.
Please know that the LGBTQIA community has a huge place in our hearts. We are so sorry you are going through this and are glad that our videos bring even a little peace to your days. We truly hope everything works out for the better for you and your partner 💛
Hey … new subscriber…. I like ur van and ur style. Video is excellent , ur very talented. Keep ur head up, trouble doesn’t last always . Be encouraged. Peace and joy 😊
Another fabulous video! I loved watching you decorate and the plant conservatory was fabulous. And yeah, hardly anybody starts new projects during the holiday season, so I get how tough it must be to be looking for work right now. I'm glad you have family to back you up. I would like to make a suggestion. Perhaps you could just suspend your job search until the first of the year? It is likely to be much more successful then, and it could free up some of your head space. You might even feel better by not pressuring yourself right now. Waiting until after the first of the year to job search is a realistic plan after all. You are VERY talented -- your visuals are stunning. You make everything into art. Work will come, just not right now. Peace be with you.
Thank you for your suggestion! You are probably right. Waiting until January might be the best option and is most likely why things are so slow. I’m going to give myself a break and enjoy the rest of the year. Who knows what will happen! 🤗
Could you come to Florida? I live in Orlando and have never used my heat. Best wishes to y’all. Hope the job search goes well and you find the job you want. Safe travels and happy Fall. 💕
💜 TRY NOT TO LOOK AT WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE 💜 INSTEAD ALLOW TIME TOGETHER AND MEMORIES TO BUILD LAUGHTER, SEE THE BEAUTY IN THE SIMPLE THINGS 💜 YOU HAVE ONE ANOTHER, YOU HAVE SHELTER 💜 IN TIME YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LAUGH AT DEPRESSION FOR TRYING TO STEAL YOUR JOY 💜 YOU BOTH ARE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE 💜 YOU BOTH ARE STRONG 💜 SMILE EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT 💜 MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THIS JOURNEY YOUR BOTH ON 💜
We all have ups and downs. I have a downer every other week and some are worse than others. I lost my rental home because I was moving and that person ripped me off and lied about their property so I could not pay rent at current place. Yea....it is stressful. Being a single mom, I have to keep pushing. The universe will flip back around in your favor, just do not give up and push through it. I moved into an extended stay which costs a lot, but so does living anywhere in America now lol. I have a lot of opportunities being thrown at me and my kids, which are helping us. I try not to dwell on material things, and focus more on eliminating as much stress as possible. Having pets can also be a huge challenge. Things will look up for you... You just have to change your thought process and think of a positive future. If a negative hasn't happened yet, don't worry about it. This is just a lesson in life to make you stronger and get you prepared for future events so you know what to do.
Thank you so much for sharing and I am sorry you are going through this. With excessive inflation all over America, things are so much tougher for everyone. We moved into a Van one because we wanted to travel but two because inflation on rentals is getting out of hand. So we can relate to an extent. Thank you for watching and for your supportive words 💛
I hope you are able to find a viable heat solution and that it can give y’all more stability in future winters. I hope you’re able to find work, and I hope you remember that your worth is inherent, no matter what any company says.
Hi Nnyji, sending virtual hugs🫂 please try and go with the flow of life rather than the dream we all have in our heads. If you guys do end up staying in a house instead of a Van that is absolutely fine. We will still watch. Having job security and housing security is a thing!
This means so much, thank you! There are definitely perks to both lifestyles. Our ideal choice is to have our own house and do trips in the Van. So one day having both will happen for us ☺️
Hello Beanbug I’m Praying 🙏🏾 For You Please Believe Me We all Get Depressed at Times Because of a Job Loss Or Love 💕 many Thing’s Can Get Us In a Depression State Everything Will Be Okay I have been Depressed at Times for The Same Reason Stay Strong Like The Person You Are 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕
Hi, Santi & Nnyji. I'm not sure which one is really feeling depressed right now. I'm going to assume it's Nnyji. If you're feeling depressed Hun, know that this too shall pass. Feelings are just temporary emotions if we let it be. You both may be experiencing some hardships now, but it's the end of the year. So make those hardships a past for the new year. Set goals, that's realistic and work to make them a reality. Even though things are hard now, it would be much worse if you both had you all own apartment or house ( financially). Sorry, for the long comment. I just wanted to give you guys a hope of relief, which there is. Keep your heads up. Thanks for the vlog, as always!❤
Thank you for this encouraging advice. You are right, this too shall pass. I (Nnyji) am just in a weird place for many reasons but I’m realizing that it is only temporary and things will get better. I think I used TH-cam as a form of writing and sharing what I am going through like a sense of therapy. Getting advice from different people who may or may not have gone through something similar is very helpful. We both appreciate your advice and support 💛
When depression appears acknowledge the emotion but never allow it to over take you.. try going out into nature connect back to Source.. with a positive mindset.. it always works for me. ❤️💫
Everyone feels depressed every now and then. Try to count your blessings every single day. Be a blessing to others and I don't mean monetarily. Smile, sincere compliments, helping with a bag or what not. That always makes me feel good and brings out the love God gave us. Hang in there and don't allow that nasties to steal your joy.
Lovely Christmas Decorations. Nice video, but I prefer video's where the people actually speak instead of typing sentences for us to have to read. Hoping things begin to work out for you both. Happy Holidays. God Bless you in your travels.
I have a Mr buddy heater in my van they’re great that might be an option for you if you ever want to know what’s going to happen or not happen in the future use a pendulum board that works for you
Hi, Santi & Nnyji. I forgot to mention have you two thought about starting a Gofundme to help with expenses with repairing your van? If not maybe it's something you two should consider!❤
Walk by faith everyday is a new adventure .Retail always Hiring this time of year . Day jobs temp jobs may be an answer . Wabaso diesel heaters are cheap in price and a lot of tutorials on how to put them in
Hello! I am new to your channel but what lovely videos you have. My mother and I also really enjoyed your latest van tour. One day soon you will be saying we made it through that! Also, about your power situation, if you ever are in need of a safe, method of cooking (all though it will take a little bit longer than coleman), heating and light, using zero power, I semi invented something. It has been working for me for the last year. Not selling it but I would be happy to tell you all how to build it. Life changing. Feel free to email. Happy Trails.
We are so happy you found our channel! Yes you are right. I am looking forward to the day that I look back at this moment in my life and think wow, I made it and now here I am. Someday! That sounds like a very interesting invention. We will definitely have to learn more about it when you are ready to share!
@@Beanbugging Aww totally! Someday will be here soon. It is very interesting and no one is doing it. The idea came to me one day and I started designing and working it out. Then when I had a prototype, I tested it for 1 year. Perfection. My mom and I love it and even though we are not off grid, we use it religiously. :) It's so simple and it has been right under all of we campers noses for ages. I can make an unlisted video and email you the link with your permission or you can contact me. I'm only sharing it with people who could really use it bc I don't have money for manufacturing etc yet.
I experience gloomy feeling days also. I. Just ask Jesus to help me out And He calms me down and answers my prayers 🙏 your also in mine. I am a full time RV nomad 7 years with my puppy and man I have had my share of breakdowns 😊
There’s all kinds of places hiring just because you feel the need to make Contant or videos doesn’t mean you have to be in a van all the time. You can both get a regular job and find a little Homestead. Your videography it’s not going to get you what you need at this point. You can live in your van, save money and both get jobs and then figure it out from there. By the way, it’s really hard to read what you’re saying at the bottom it would be better and more personable if you spoke through your videos. Good luck to you.
Hello there Beanbug, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever in life. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely- by faith, receive Jesus into your life- for salvation?
Happy holidays to you,, stay safe. There are thousands.. maybe close to a million van lifers on TH-cam. In every country,age and ethnicity you will find. Stay safe. 🙏 Gigi
A new job will come around soon, I'm sure. There are soooo many people that envy you for your freedom and the opportunity to see things they will never see. Chicolate cake is good for the soul 😉 And remember.... There is always light at the end of the tunnel. 🫶🏼
Thank you I do agree, however I think a lot of people like to compare themselves to others not realizing there are struggles that come with this kind of lifestyle. No lifestyle is perfect. So while I’m sure people envy us, we still have hardships like everyone else. Being transparent like this helps people understand what it really takes to live on the road full time 😊 But we will get through it! Hopefully lol
Please stay encouraged. You are simply going through a season, and seasons weren't meant to last. Blessings and Hugs❤
Thank you, I agree. Just gotta keep moving forward! ☺️
I wish you didn’t feel embarrassed , hard times fall on so many of us and it feels like the end but it’s not . I’m not in your shoes but I hope this will pass soon and things get better for you both and your cats ❤❤ it’s ok to cry it’s ok to be angry you are human ❤
Thanks so much for your kind words. It means a lot! The embarrassment definitely comes from a place of insecurity which I am working through. Sharing with all of you has really helped me as a form of therapy oddly enough.
There are millions on TH-cam that are car and van lifer's. Happy holidays.🙏🔹G

Remember we have limited time on this planet. Make the best of those days. Enjoy the sunshine.
You are so right, we are going to make the most of the time we are given 💛
You will get better soon
Hello sweetheart x I live in a house and get depressed too… it’s part of being a soul on a human journey. Hugs 🤗 ❤❤
Absolutely! When we were renting out a house a couple years ago before starting Van Life, we found ourselves feeling the same way. Tough things happen, but that’s life 😅
@ big hugs sweetie xx you are safe and we love you 😘 xxxxx
What a sweet video! You two together lets me know things will get better. Peace and love!
We were just saying the same thing. We have each other so we’ll get through it 😊
Walk by faith. Keep your head up..hope you both feel better. God loves you
Thank you 💛

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kindness 💛
I hope you feel better. I understand sometimes I feel so exhausted I have to reset myself. It will pass
Thank you! Everyone has rough times, we’re just going through our own at the moment

Thank you for your transparency! Everything is a phase, blessings on your journey😘❤
Thank you for watching! You all are such an amazing support system here on TH-cam and we really appreciate it 💛
Thanks, the Christmas lights brought a smile
Lifted our spirits up as well!
You’re not alone in this. What you’re going through will soon be what you went through. Sending loving thoughts and energy. You three have each other and that’s a Lot! Immerse your thoughts in all you are great full for. The sun, the beauty nature has to offer, health. I am grateful everyday I wake, put two feet on the floor, eat, able to do what I need to do.

Nnyji and Santi, thank you so much for this lovely video.♥♥ You are wise to surround yourself with beauty to make the journey through the "dark valley" more enjoyable. I would suggest also watching your own videos and see all the beauty and value you have created there. I loved your last Christmas video in the Airbnb.❤
Thank you so much, that is actually one of my (Nnyji) favorite videos we have made! We both appreciate your kindness 💛
After the leaves fall from the trees, I too, fight off a bit of the blues. Short, dark, wet days etc. and walking the dog in this weather not as enjoyable. But eventually, every year, I hit my stride and get into the quiet rhythm of Winter. I am sending positive vibes your way for the job search😊and wishing you the BEST!!!
Yes! I will definitely be trying to romanticize winter more this time around ☺️
💜💜🙏🏽You are highly favored and you are amazing…Prayers for you both
Thanks so much ☺️
Be happy! You are Beautiful! A True Free Spirit!
Thank you for your authenticity, and for taking us on such a lovely trip around the plant centre.
Depression is so hard. Take care and all good wishes to you.
We are so glad you enjoyed, we really appreciate your kindness ☺️
The decorating reminds me of how my mom decorated when I was a kid❤
I love the carousel 😍
So glad you could experience some nostalgia from our video 🥹 thank you so much for watching, the carousel is a favorite of ours too!
❤God Bless you both
Thank you 🤗
I am so,sorry that you are going through this. Tomorrow will be a be day. Have you thought of therapy? It might help or joining a group for van life people? I wish you peace.🙏🙏🏾 your cats are beautiful ❤.
You never know what beautiful things await you tomorrow. Where are you now?it is so beautiful there! Those flowers!🌺
Ah yes! I actually grew up getting therapy and haven’t had it since college. I think it might be best for me to go back. We were in Pennsylvania near Philly! Thank you ☺️💛
@ I grew up up in Villanova! Do not remember any of those places. I wish you peace.🥰Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 🙏🏾💗🙏
I love your bean bug,, stay strong and I’ll stay strong with you,,
Thank you 🥺💛
Your channel is so lovely. I just watched your baking compilation as well. So amazing what you are accomplishing in your small space. I hope your job search results in something wonderful very soon. ❤️
Thank you so much!
When was the last time you painted/ drew?
Santi is more of the painter of the two of us. He actually just submitted some work for an art show. So we’ll be showing that in an upcoming video ☺️ that really helps with his mental health quite a lot

Beautiful tree and ornaments from your grandparents!
Thank you! 😊
You. Are. AWESOME!!!
Thank you!! 🥰
The decor is beautiful!
Thank you!
I just want to let you know that your content is currently helping me get through my own very depressive episode. My partner and I are about to pack up what we can carry and go stay with my cousin in Washington state. We live in the south and we are worried about the climate down here surrounding the LGBTQIA community. I am afraid and depressed. My anxiety has been through the roof. I haven't even really been talking to anyone about the move because of how the people around me are viewing my decision. Aside from my partner and one in person friend no one really knows we are leaving or when if they do. Thank you for sharing your content. I find it both calming and motivating in my time of turmoil.
Please know that the LGBTQIA community has a huge place in our hearts. We are so sorry you are going through this and are glad that our videos bring even a little peace to your days. We truly hope everything works out for the better for you and your partner 💛
Be encouraged ❤
Thank you ☺️
Hey … new subscriber…. I like ur van and ur style. Video is excellent , ur very talented. Keep ur head up, trouble doesn’t last always . Be encouraged. Peace and joy 😊
Thank you so much ☺️
Your grandparents Christmas tree ended up looking absolutely magical, Charlie Brown.
Thank you! I love their decor because they have so many special vintage ornaments. It makes it so much more special ☺️
Another fabulous video! I loved watching you decorate and the plant conservatory was fabulous. And yeah, hardly anybody starts new projects during the holiday season, so I get how tough it must be to be looking for work right now. I'm glad you have family to back you up. I would like to make a suggestion. Perhaps you could just suspend your job search until the first of the year? It is likely to be much more successful then, and it could free up some of your head space. You might even feel better by not pressuring yourself right now. Waiting until after the first of the year to job search is a realistic plan after all. You are VERY talented -- your visuals are stunning. You make everything into art. Work will come, just not right now. Peace be with you.
Thank you for your suggestion! You are probably right. Waiting until January might be the best option and is most likely why things are so slow. I’m going to give myself a break and enjoy the rest of the year. Who knows what will happen! 🤗
@@Beanbugging 🥰
Hoping things get better! ❤❤
Please don’t compare yourself with others. Keep pressing forward, ur next in line for a miracle. 😊
You're sad
I'm envious ❤
Could you come to Florida? I live in Orlando and have never used my heat. Best wishes to y’all. Hope the job search goes well and you find the job you want. Safe travels and happy Fall. 💕
That is so sweet of you, thank you for your offer! We might be trying out van life there sometime early next year 🤗
This time is hard for a lot of people. You did a beautiful job on the tree.
Thank you! That is true, which is so unfortunate considering it’s the holiday season 😕

Hey babe, I live on a boat off grid :) reframe your mindset. You are free! Houseless, not homeless - everything will be okay my dear sending love
Reframing my mindset is definitely my goal. Thank you 🤗 Living on a boat off grid sounds like such a cool and unique way to live!
I hope you are able to find a viable heat solution and that it can give y’all more stability in future winters. I hope you’re able to find work, and I hope you remember that your worth is inherent, no matter what any company says.

Sorry, for the long comment. I just wanted to give you guys a hope of relief, which there is. Keep your heads up. Thanks for the vlog, as always!❤
Thank you for this encouraging advice. You are right, this too shall pass. I (Nnyji) am just in a weird place for many reasons but I’m realizing that it is only temporary and things will get better. I think I used TH-cam as a form of writing and sharing what I am going through like a sense of therapy. Getting advice from different people who may or may not have gone through something similar is very helpful. We both appreciate your advice and support 💛
When depression appears acknowledge the emotion but never allow it to over take you.. try going out into nature connect back to Source.. with a positive mindset.. it always works for me. ❤️💫
Yes to everything you said! Thank you 💛
During the winter months.. a lot of Van dwellers work the deets harvest. They say that the pay is good too.
Oh wow, do you know where in the states it’s available?
Last comment 😊😊😊 … Beautiful tree
Everyone feels depressed every now and then. Try to count your blessings every single day. Be a blessing to others and I don't mean monetarily. Smile, sincere compliments, helping with a bag or what not. That always makes me feel good and brings out the love God gave us. Hang in there and don't allow that nasties to steal your joy.
Thank you 😊
🙏🏾 stay blessed
Thank you!
Hang In there beautiful daughter of The Most High God/Yahuah. Most peace and blessings forever, you are loved 😊❤❤❤❤
💛🙏
Lovely Christmas Decorations. Nice video, but I prefer video's where the people actually speak instead of typing sentences for us to have to read. Hoping things begin to work out for you both. Happy Holidays. God Bless you in your travels.
We do have some videos with voiceovers but we are usually silent vloggers, so we understand it’s not for everyone. Thank you for watching anyway ☺️
I have a Mr buddy heater in my van they’re great that might be an option for you if you ever want to know what’s going to happen or not happen in the future use a pendulum board that works for you
@@VanventureswithKaia thank you for your recommendations! We do have a heater like a buddy heater, but maybe the buddy heater would work better.
@ that’s good you have a heater I’m not sure if the Mr buddy heater is better but I do know people in Canada prefer them
Hi, Santi & Nnyji. I forgot to mention have you two thought about starting a Gofundme to help with expenses with repairing your van? If not maybe it's something you two should consider!❤
We haven’t thought of that actually 🤔 However, our Van seems to always need repairs lol
Walk by faith everyday is a new adventure .Retail always Hiring this time of year . Day jobs temp jobs may be an answer . Wabaso diesel heaters are cheap in price and a lot of tutorials on how to put them in
Thank you so much and we appreciate the recommendation! We’re going to check out that heater
Pray and trust GOD ..tough times are temporary
Come to Quartzsite girl...a community for nomad for 6 months.🎉
So true! We wanted to visit earlier this year but never got around to it. Definitely gonna check it out
Keep prayerful and ask God to guide you through it
Try a temp agency
My mom suggested the same thing! I will be trying that option, thank you 😊
Hello! I am new to your channel but what lovely videos you have. My mother and I also really enjoyed your latest van tour. One day soon you will be saying we made it through that! Also, about your power situation, if you ever are in need of a safe, method of cooking (all though it will take a little bit longer than coleman), heating and light, using zero power, I semi invented something. It has been working for me for the last year. Not selling it but I would be happy to tell you all how to build it. Life changing. Feel free to email. Happy Trails.
We are so happy you found our channel! Yes you are right. I am looking forward to the day that I look back at this moment in my life and think wow, I made it and now here I am. Someday! That sounds like a very interesting invention. We will definitely have to learn more about it when you are ready to share!
@@Beanbugging Aww totally! Someday will be here soon. It is very interesting and no one is doing it. The idea came to me one day and I started designing and working it out. Then when I had a prototype, I tested it for 1 year. Perfection. My mom and I love it and even though we are not off grid, we use it religiously. :) It's so simple and it has been right under all of we campers noses for ages. I can make an unlisted video and email you the link with your permission or you can contact me. I'm only sharing it with people who could really use it bc I don't have money for manufacturing etc yet.
I experience gloomy feeling days also. I. Just ask Jesus to help me out And He calms me down and answers my prayers 🙏 your also in mine. I am a full time RV nomad 7 years with my puppy and man I have had my share of breakdowns 😊
Thank you! Road life is certainly different and takes its toll sometimes 😅
its better then depression in your room
Get a Little Buddie propane heater
@@davidwackes6755 We just purchased one that takes propane and butane! 🤗
Talk
You didn’t say Simon says
There’s all kinds of places hiring just because you feel the need to make Contant or videos doesn’t mean you have to be in a van all the time. You can both get a regular job and find a little Homestead. Your videography it’s not going to get you what you need at this point. You can live in your van, save money and both get jobs and then figure it out from there. By the way, it’s really hard to read what you’re saying at the bottom it would be better and more personable if you spoke through your videos. Good luck to you.
We are silent vloggers, that’s why there is text. But thank you for your advice 😊
@ Well if you could make the text bigger because it’s unreadable especially with white background
Hello there Beanbug, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever in life. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely- by faith, receive Jesus into your life- for salvation?
Happy holidays to you,, stay safe. There are thousands.. maybe close to a million van lifers on TH-cam. In every country,age and ethnicity you will find. Stay safe. 🙏 Gigi
Thank you and happy holidays!
💔❤️🩹🙏🏾 hopefully you’ll make enough to buy a house
A cabin or cottage is the goal!
A new job will come around soon, I'm sure.
There are soooo many people that envy you for your freedom and the opportunity to see things they will never see.
Chicolate cake is good for the soul 😉
And remember....
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
🫶🏼
Thank you I do agree, however I think a lot of people like to compare themselves to others not realizing there are struggles that come with this kind of lifestyle. No lifestyle is perfect. So while I’m sure people envy us, we still have hardships like everyone else. Being transparent like this helps people understand what it really takes to live on the road full time 😊 But we will get through it! Hopefully lol
@@Beanbugging exactly! 🫂
Please don’t compare yourself with others. Keep pressing forward, ur next in line for a miracle. 😊
