Hello this is Mary Ann from South Jersey I'm a senior I'm 76 years old I work at Walmart full-time I've been there 20 years Walmart gives me my lifestyle I enjoy working at Walmart today I'm leaving for Chicago I'm doing cross-country route 66 on the bus tour I'm excited about that and I am envious of your lifestyle I think it's wonderful you're an ambitious woman stay safe
Wow thats awesome !! Lots of respect for you sweetheart.. may God keep blessing you and keeping you filled with happiness and strength.. I hope I'm as happy as you at that age 🥰 and I hope walmart is paying you beyond beyond what anyone gets because you walked your life there..
I don’t know why I enjoy these videos so much! 😄 I think because of your laid back personality, maybe?? No excessive talking or product hyping, etc. That’s it! It reminds me of the original TH-cam days when it was just about the content. The campground was stunning. Dinner was, I think my favorite meal you’ve cooked. Looked so good! Thx for your hard work Noma. (Btw, that’s the name I’m giving you. Short for Nomadic. 😂)
I'm 70 yrs old and lost my husband 6 months ago and I've been considering buying a travel van so I can hit the road and enjoy the retirement travels that my my husband and I always dreamed of before he got sick.
First off .. the video was NOT TOO LONG😊. I WAS SO Immersed that it seemed to end so quickly 😢. Let me just say.. you got a great thing going. I love the way you present your content! 2nd thing is I know it’s hard as heck working sooo much and trying to enjoy your life/ van life. It’s gonna pay off. In your previous video you mentioned just doing van life sooner especially due to all the wear and tear that’s being put on your mind and body from work. A WORD OF CAUTION…. when you decide to quit your job don’t announce it right away. give yourself some time to live with that decision. Allow yourself time to adjust. If you tell too soon it could change the vibe of the people watching. You could always tell us after the fact. You could do a 6 month or 1 year update after quitting working for someone else to pursue working for yourself while sharing the journey with others via TH-cam 😁. You have something so special that I would hate to see it ruined so soon or period 😢. Take care & I’ll see you at the next one 😊
I don't know how I ended up here but I love it here on your channel. Some of the best most genuine thing I've seen on TH-cam here in a long time! You are so detailed I Love it!!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Wonderful video! Your message is so relaxing, but at the same time- so focused. I love how you don't add music and we hear the "simple" things like the hum of machines in the laundromat, the click of a kitchen cabinet latch, or food sizzling in the fry pan. There is such beauty in our every day lives. Thanks for reminding us! 🧡🙏🧡
Your energy and get it done attitude is amazing you are a great example for anyone wanting to live a simple uncomplicated ( most times lol ) life. Breath of fresh air. Keep living your best life.
KOA opened in 1962. KOA Campgrounds are franchised. We were a family that tent camped, then in a truck, then a travel trailer. Was excited as heck when we found a KOA!! Toilets, hot showers, electricity! Always clean and well managed. Love KOA to this day!!
I remember getting a KOA tent spot for $1. a night ages ago. I used to sleep in a Subaru sedan with the passenger seat back removed. I have fond memories of them.
Since you love mushrooms, you might want to keep dried mushrooms on hand. They keep a long time, take up little space, and you can try a variety, not just portobello.
Nope, still haven't made it to your current videos yet! I never have time to just sit and watch but I'm literally sitting in a parking lot right now and I was like you know what it's time for me to watch some videos LOL so when this video just started I had to pause so I could comment, I heard you whisper oh I'm so tired right before you turn your lights on so I just want to say even when you're tired thank you for making videos for your followers! We appreciate you, I appreciate you! Thank you for being you! Love your vibe
Nomadic Introvert, seems like the perfect name for you channel. For some reason, you popped up in my TH-cam feed today. I haven't followed any other van dwellers, but to be honest, sometimes it seems like a good plan. When you went about your day, taking us along for the ride, I decided to watch for a few minutes, then find some weird things to watch. That didn't end up happening. Your voice is extremely soothing, and your positive outlook, is amazing. I didn't hear you complain, about anything. Sixteen hour days, and then trying to figure out the safest spot, to eat and sleep. You are truly an inspirational speaker, and you may not even realize that. I just wanted to tell you, that with all of the struggles that I've faced, in the last ten months, and all of the hardship and trauma that people around the globe have dealt with, because of Covid, on top of the unimaginable circumstances that so many people face every day, you are like a soft cool breeze. I hope you never change for anyone, and that you realize, just how much you help people, at least for me. You seem to just look at whatever your task is, and get on with it. The world needs more people like you. God bless you, and may all of your travels be safe ones. 🌞 .🌬️🌈
I live in my rv and I’m stationary right now but if I moved around like you I would get a campsite with hookups once a week so I could use all the amenities like your doing. I’d charge up a Jackery, get water, cook a few meals for the week with my electric instapot, it would save on propane. Do all my cleaning because water would be available❤️😁
Hello gorgeous lady..I have watched everyone of your videos..I really enjoy watching a fellow introvert living their best life..Your videos bring me calm and peace..thank you so much for sharing your life and adventures with us..Stay blessed dear and Much love from Louisiana!!
"Pot size thin spaghetti"... mind blown! My Publix here in the FL panhandle doesn't carry pot sized pasta. This video is the first time I'm learning it exists. I've been breaking it into pieces and always have pieces popping out onto the floor. That aside, I enjoy learning about the places you overnight.
I was like, what is this?! Publix doesn’t have that! I’m not sure I can stomach going into Walmart though just for pasta. It’s always sooo busy, I’m not strong enough 😢
I’ve never heard of it either until this video. I’m going to see if stores in my area carry it (not that I’m buying it) because I’ve never seen it when I’ve shopped for noodles.
Your videos are so interesting…in a weird way so therapeutic knowing that i have options …i am an introvert as well and this life you are living seems absolutely AMAZING to me!!!!! Thank you for your content❤ I seriously LOVE YOUR VAN!!! ❤❤❤❤
Be safe when you are camping by yourself. I'm the senior lady that encourages you on a previous post to have some type of firearm or mace with you!! Always watch as well as pray!! Also, buy you a bag of organic Kale and 1 carton of swansons chicken stock. Add extra virgin olive oil, lite salt and pepper, garlic power and lite onion power. Season to your taste. Boil on medium for 10 mins covered, then turn down on low and cook for 10 more minutes. Then turn off burner. Keep covered for 8 minutes and grub down!! Very healthy and good with pasta dishes!!
What a nice surprise to see another notification for your vid, so soon after yesterday's. I really do look forward to them. Hope your channel keeps growing at this rate so it can afford you an early and comfortable retirement.
You bring back memories of work for me. I worked as a Ekg technician at a cardiac hospital. Administrators felt one tech on at night was enough. We worked 12 hrs, I did 5am-5pm. Sick calls ment I worked till 3pm then came back at 7pm to 7am. I so much feel you. God took me away from all that now, and I am blessed.
I am an RN and just retired 2 weeks ago. It was scary to give up the income but the peace of mind these past 2 weeks has been priceless. I took a weekend meditation class so far and have other seminars and workshops set up for the next few months to invest my time and energy into ME, not the job.
This channel is soooooo relatable. I want to try vanlife, but I am nothing like what most vanlifers portray themselves as. But these videos look similar to my life.
A word of caution - I would not pour boiling water down the drain - slight chance of melting . . . softening . . . Had it happen in our camper. I don't even do that in my house anymore. I run cold water as I pour the boiling water out. I realize in your situation you do need to conserve water.
You are my favorite person to watch on TH-cam!!! Thank you for sharing your time with us. Your beautiful soul radiates outwardly. Your smile is a reminder that there are many wonderful people spread out in this world. THANK YOU!!! Take good care of yourself…YOU are very loved!!!
I absolutely love your videos! They are so chill. I feel like I'm hanging out with my friend, running errands and enjoying a day off. I am a Michigander too, the other side of the state I think, southwest side. I kept watching your videos thinking, that looks like MI then I was so excited when I found out it was. I'm dying to see what you do in the winter. I'm jealous and wish I was doing some traveling in a van or RV.....
I loveeeee your channel so much. It’s almost AMSR. Calming. Soothing. Not pushing for over the top energy. Im inspired to do a character based off your lifestyle now. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Ok you got me. I fixed chili, added spaghetti noodles, Sour cream, mozerella cheese all on top of 3 Tortillies. Boy was it good. Thank you. I love your videos on my Fire TV.
I found your channel when you first started posting. I really like it especially your dinner recipes. It's a very simple and informative channel. Keep being yourself. I look forward to seeing you reach your goals living and travelling on the road.
I can’t tell you how much I love getting to hang out virtually with you. I’ve been curious about what KOA campgrounds were like. My husband and I hope to buy a pop top campervan next year for Covid-safe adventures/vacation options with our teenaged daughter. Your channel gives me confidence that we can take even long trips in a van! Thanks for your generosity and open heart. Also all the recipes! Love and light from Los Angeles.
So glad you discovered the visible window situation. It's great that every day is different from the next and that it's easy for you to find nice and safe spots for overnight stays. It's not like that for many van lifers. Thanks for another great vid! Peace.
What a cozy camp site with all those lovely conveniences. I have learned so many new ways to cook pasta thanks to your channel. I love seeing your everyday life in your great van!
You should try Barilla’s protein pasta. Tastes just like regular pasta to me but has plant protein like chick pea flour in it. I think it’s called Barilla Plus - in a yellow box. Dinner looks great per usual.
Lifelong camper. When you are at a campground and plugged in, save your propane and cook electric. A small coffee percolator, coffee, hot water for tea or "instant" oatmeal, soups etc. A small electric fry pan for everything else. Or one of those induction single burners. By the way, please sharpen that knife before it hurts you.
I just picked up your you tube video when you took a nap in Lowe’s parking lot, was so surprised to see you cut your hair! Loved your curls. You have a beautiful smile, be safe, and hope your work is good.
❤❤❤❤ i absolutely love your videos I lived in my rv for about a year and loved every minute of it. The life helped me with depression and my mental health.
I only go to koas when I can’t find another place to park for free or cheap or if I really want to make sure I have electric and need to do laundry. That looks like a nice Koa!
Another must try recipe! :) My sister is a cheese fanatic too! I make a baked mac n cheese with about 7 cheeses for Thanksgiving and no matter how much cheese I put in it (it's a lot), my sister always says it isn't enough for her! I see your green mix with OJ. A great alternative to eating them! Take care!
Pro-tip…the real beyond meat burgers that look like raw patties and cook like real patties are actually in the meat section next to the beef patties. And they really taste like burger meat. I think Burger King sells a pretty good whopper like sandwich with one of those patties that is very realistic if you ever get a chance to try one made for you but I always liked the whopper as well.
You came across my timeline and I clicked on your video and OMG you are a breath of fresh air it is something about your soothing tone that is very captivating
Absolutely LOVE that you are still playing it safe with the mask!! I'm right there with ya sista!!! Protect you! I'm just starting out in my 2012TC. Went to my first van gathering this past weekend and had a blast! Still got some work to do on the inside but I plan on hitting the road permanently by December. God speed!
There are 2 items I think you would enjoy in your kitchen,,,,, 1. a cerated knife, for slicing tomatoes, bread, foods that tend to be squashy, and,,,,,2. a collapsable strainer for straining your pasta or other items cooked in water. I have both of these in my camper & use them almost daily. Enjoy your videos, tried the tomato, shrimp rice dish the other day,,,yummy.
I travel part time - for a few weeks at a time and I work remote so I love alternating stays between KOA and Harvest Hosts.... have never stayed at a KOA resort though! Looks really nice!
Hello Nomadic Introvert hi when you said the wind is dragging your van like a rag doll I fell out laughing hay thank you for that you are a real person nothing fake about you I appreciate that. be blessed an safe enjoy your time off
Loved the look of the van with the lights. Also the information in the campground was great. As always loved watching you cook and “share” with us. Stay safe. See you soon
Hi again, this is Betty. I love your channel and love catching up. I noticed you put 2 pods into your washer. Please don’t waste money you only need 1 pod per load. I use Tide and that’s on my instructions. My clothes come out very clean. I apologize if I seem petty or noisy it’s just I am a penny pincher. I am 74 and probably old enough to be your grandma lol. 😅 I love that you cook the majority of your food and it always looks amazing. You take care and stay safe and enjoy life. Betty 🙏🙏🥰🥰💕❤️♥️💗🌹
I found your channel by accident and boy am I thankful I did!! You are living my dream!! I really wish I had the means to travel and enjoy all the wonderful places and I LOVE your meals you cook!! Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us!!
When we travel, we stay at KOA parks more than any other campgrounds. Yes, they can be pricey, however, the amenities are usually very good and you basically know what to expect. The locations are usually very easy to find. Your pasta dish looked very good!
Yum. I wanted to eat that cheesy spaghetti with you. It looked so good. That’s a nice campground too. You got a lot done on your day off plus a nice nap. I only want to have a cup of hot coffee with you on these cool mornings. Get your warm clothes out soon because winter is on the way…❤️❤️❤️
Love that campsite! Your van is super cool especially with the LED lights on at night! I love how you keep things squared away and you take care of yourself! You makin' me want to be vegan with all that good food you cook! Thank you for taking us along on your journey!
I keep my vehicles above 1/2 tank because the crap settles to the bottom of your tank and if you suck it up it ruins your filters and fuel pump. They are not cheap.
I enjoy watching your journey. Stay safe young lady. Most importantly stay safe. You never mentioned your name but I guess that doesn’t matter. I ask God to keep you safe and I hope you do too as well. Remember to always Pray.
Out of all the things I’ve seen you cook, this meal is my favorite. I would likely use real meatballs but I could also eat this one without any meatballs. Mmm, delicious! I smile every time you offer me a bite. You’re so kind. Thank you. Your truck lights are very cool. That looks like a nice and safe place and I’m glad you found it. ☮️
I agree with others, the video was not too long. You are amazing, working 16 hours then staying awake to complete all those tasks and errands. Thank you again for sharing your day. The van looks really nice with lights. I hope you can find a similar campground near your place of employment in case you need hookups to keep you warm during the winter.
Bless your heart. It makes me hurt to see you so tired out. You give too much of yourself. You have already given your whole country all of you ..I hope u enjoy your 2 days off . You so deserve it. Love to u.
Did you leave me that message about the telegram ? I've never heard of that. I recently got hacked on Facebook, my son did too. Now, I'm afraid to do anything . If it's really u , thank u .
I love your videos. Your voice is very soothing. I do not know how you can cook in silence. I am always talking to myself when I am cooking. I really like the way you format your videos,
🌸💗sooo this video was too long for who…YOU😂 your the only one complaining I am thrilled we get a few more moments with you rolls 👀. I’ve never been to KOA but have heard much about them. IF you ever get an annual mbrship say with Thousand Trails then you’ll just use KOA for those in between times when you don’t want to boondock, City dwell or the stealth route, it works best as a digital nomad so you can move about from site to site. Although I’m in a minivan, I’ve done about 3 yrs of research of what my journey will be once I get my promaster. I have learned much from “Where Is Tiffany” on this subject particularly bec she is a solo brown female and for us in this lifestyle I’ve found safety is paramount with the climate of the country in certain locations. That said I enjoyed seeing you & the extra time you gave us this week. I miss ya already 🌸💗🌸
Wow, KOA has come a really long way. The have such beautiful grounds and amenities. I remember showering at other campgrounds with spiders and whatever else because they were shacks exposed to nature. LOL This is the second time I've seen your pot sized pasta. I giggle because I never knew it existed AND I learned to break the hard pasta in half. The unbroken long pasta just "melts" down into the water. So no matter the size of pasta, it all gets cooked and yummy! You should get a small funnel to easily pour your powder into the bottle! Keep on zooming along! Take care, Carol
You got honey from a farmers market and said the lady told u the color difference is due to spring vrs. fall is darker not exactly it is due to what the bees feed on if u want to see dark honey lookup Hawaiian honey. I noticed you were doing your laundry before going tot he campground............you do know they have laundry at campgrounds right? just seems like it would save u some time.
Had to pause for another comment! Oh my goodness that green superfood you just put out of your cabinet! Girl that's where it's at! Scoop of That with a scoop of ant based vanilla protein powder some ice cubes 2 bananas fill with almond milk in a Magic Bullet chef's kiss it's amazing I mean you could obviously do it in a blender also but I only cook just for me so I use a Magic Bullet
Love your videos! Thank you for the pricing and tour of the campgrounds! I’ve always wondered about how much per night they charge. Now I have a great idea! But! I must say this…. you need a small cutting board! 😊👍🌹❤️
Hello I stumbled across your videos , I can really appreciate all the time and effort that you put into making your videos. I love the positive iMessage as far as your videos very call me please stay safe just on the road and I like the things that you teach about van life, nice build ☀️🙏🏽

The LPG (propane) turnoff is always outside. That’s a safety feature. I think that’s the law.
Aweee..Noma..How adorable!! Perfect.
I find myself watching your videos before I go to bed... There's just something so soothing and relaxing about your content.
I'm 70 yrs old and lost my husband 6 months ago and I've been considering buying a travel van so I can hit the road and enjoy the retirement travels that my my husband and I always dreamed of before he got sick.
Go for it.

Great advice.

I'm never hungry,until you start cooking, then I'm like yeah I need food!😂 You make EVERYTHING look so good!!
I agree😊
Exactly. I'm watching this at 2 am
Now I want to get up and cook me some spaghetti 😁
Me too, she makes it look soooo delicious!
No lies detected!

That pasta looks delicious. I'm with you about cheese. I never met a cheese I didn't like. Stay blessed.
I can’t tell you how much I love getting to hang out virtually with you. I’ve been curious about what KOA campgrounds were like. My husband and I hope to buy a pop top campervan next year for Covid-safe adventures/vacation options with our teenaged daughter. Your channel gives me confidence that we can take even long trips in a van!
Thanks for your generosity and open heart. Also all the recipes! Love and light from Los Angeles.
Thank you for actively making a point to edit in the importance of mask wearing. I appreciate you! ☮️💟
Growing your channel like a queen! Go girl!!!!!
So glad you discovered the visible window situation. It's great that every day is different from the next and that it's easy for you to find nice and safe spots for overnight stays. It's not like that for many van lifers. Thanks for another great vid! Peace.
What a cozy camp site with all those lovely conveniences. I have learned so many new ways to cook pasta thanks to your channel. I love seeing your everyday life in your great van!
You should try Barilla’s protein pasta. Tastes just like regular pasta to me but has plant protein like chick pea flour in it. I think it’s called Barilla Plus - in a yellow box. Dinner looks great per usual.
Lifelong camper. When you are at a campground and plugged in, save your propane and cook electric. A small coffee percolator, coffee, hot water for tea or "instant" oatmeal, soups etc. A small electric fry pan for everything else. Or one of those induction single burners. By the way, please sharpen that knife before it hurts you.
I just picked up your you tube video when you took a nap in Lowe’s parking lot, was so surprised to see you cut your hair! Loved your curls. You have a beautiful smile, be safe, and hope your work is good.
❤❤❤❤ i absolutely love your videos I lived in my rv for about a year and loved every minute of it. The life helped me with depression and my mental health.
Girl that pasta looked amazing!! Also love the van lights😊
Love you videos. I enjoy that you are being constant with your vlogs. I enjoy them. Thank you for sharing a piece of your world with us.
Your videos have an ASMR effect on me! 😎 Your dinner looked delish! Loved the lights on your van at night! Very cool!!
You encourage me. Thank you for what you're doing.
What a nice KOA it was really clean looking. I love the van lights, it made it look so inviting like read a book at night with a hot beverage ☕️ ❤
I only go to koas when I can’t find another place to park for free or cheap or if I really want to make sure I have electric and need to do laundry. That looks like a nice Koa!
Another must try recipe! :) My sister is a cheese fanatic too! I make a baked mac n cheese with about 7 cheeses for Thanksgiving and no matter how much cheese I put in it (it's a lot), my sister always says it isn't enough for her! I see your green mix with OJ. A great alternative to eating them!
Take care!
I the spaghetti was way over cooked and unfortunately it became too mushy.
Pro-tip…the real beyond meat burgers that look like raw patties and cook like real patties are actually in the meat section next to the beef patties. And they really taste like burger meat. I think Burger King sells a pretty good whopper like sandwich with one of those patties that is very realistic if you ever get a chance to try one made for you but I always liked the whopper as well.
You came across my timeline and I clicked on your video and OMG you are a breath of fresh air it is something about your soothing tone that is very captivating
Absolutely LOVE that you are still playing it safe with the mask!! I'm right there with ya sista!!! Protect you! I'm just starting out in my 2012TC. Went to my first van gathering this past weekend and had a blast! Still got some work to do on the inside but I plan on hitting the road permanently by December. God speed!
There are 2 items I think you would enjoy in your kitchen,,,,, 1. a cerated knife, for slicing tomatoes, bread, foods that tend to be squashy, and,,,,,2. a collapsable strainer for straining your pasta or other items cooked in water. I have both of these in my camper & use them almost daily. Enjoy your videos, tried the tomato, shrimp rice dish the other day,,,yummy.
Ok it’s 937 am here but now I’m craving this🤦🏻♀️🥰. I luv how you have opened up so much, it’s refreshing an your just so sweet an adorable.
I travel part time - for a few weeks at a time and I work remote so I love alternating stays between KOA and Harvest Hosts.... have never stayed at a KOA resort though! Looks really nice!
Hello Nomadic Introvert hi when you said the wind is dragging your van like a rag doll I fell out laughing hay thank you for that you are a real person nothing fake about you I appreciate that. be blessed an safe enjoy your time off
Loved the look of the van with the lights. Also the information in the campground was great. As always loved watching you cook and “share” with us. Stay safe. See you soon
Videos are never to long!! 😊 thank you for sharing your life with us💞💚💛💖💙🧡
Hi again, this is Betty. I love your channel and love catching up. I noticed you put 2 pods into your washer. Please don’t waste money you only need 1 pod per load. I use Tide and that’s on my instructions. My clothes come out very clean. I apologize if I seem petty or noisy it’s just I am a penny pincher. I am 74 and probably old enough to be your grandma lol. 😅 I love that you cook the majority of your food and it always looks amazing. You take care and stay safe and enjoy life. Betty 🙏🙏🥰🥰💕❤️♥️💗🌹
I found your channel by accident and boy am I thankful I did!! You are living my dream!! I really wish I had the means to travel and enjoy all the wonderful places and I LOVE your meals you cook!! Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us!!
Thank you for being so real it's such a pleasure to be part of your channel
I am a new fan. Your chill vibe is everything. I hope you had a good time!
When we travel, we stay at KOA parks more than any other campgrounds. Yes, they can be pricey, however, the amenities are usually very good and you basically know what to expect. The locations are usually very easy to find.
Your pasta dish looked very good!
Enjoyed this longer video and seeing this KOA campground. Always a joy, be blessed. 💕
Black olives are also a good addition to spaghetti. I love the lights, nice if you leave your van in the night to use the shower or bathroom.
Yum. I wanted to eat that cheesy spaghetti with you. It looked so good. That’s a nice campground too. You got a lot done on your day off plus a nice nap. I only want to have a cup of hot coffee with you on these cool mornings. Get your warm clothes out soon because winter is on the way…❤️❤️❤️
Such a fan. Love the videos! I look forward to new content.
I know where you are!!! Been there before. Beautiful. I won’t share cause I know you want your privacy. Safe travels !!!!
Hey there, always excited for your vlogs, watching now❤️✌🏾.
Literally been binging your videos...its currently 3am and all i want is sketti now 😆🤷♀️
I am always glad for my two days off enjoy every moment of it
Ooh pasta looks super tasty. I love anything cheese and butter. The campsite looks really relaxing on the morning. Looks great x
Love that campsite! Your van is super cool especially with the LED lights on at night! I love how you keep things squared away and you take care of yourself! You makin' me want to be vegan with all that good food you cook! Thank you for taking us along on your journey!
Just a few more vegis though
I keep my vehicles above 1/2 tank because the crap settles to the bottom of your tank and if you suck it up it ruins your filters and fuel pump. They are not cheap.
AND THE ENGINE
I enjoy watching your journey. Stay safe young lady. Most importantly stay safe. You never mentioned your name but I guess that doesn’t matter. I ask God to keep you safe and I hope you do too as well. Remember to always Pray.
Love the lights....so festive looking!
That looks like a very nice campground. Clean and well maintained! We have a KOA here in Kissimmee FL that's very nice also!
Out of all the things I’ve seen you cook, this meal is my favorite. I would likely use real meatballs but I could also eat this one without any meatballs. Mmm, delicious! I smile every time you offer me a bite. You’re so kind. Thank you. Your truck lights are very cool. That looks like a nice and safe place and I’m glad you found it. ☮️
I agree with others, the video was not too long. You are amazing, working 16 hours then staying awake to complete all those tasks and errands. Thank you again for sharing your day. The van looks really nice with lights. I hope you can find a similar campground near your place of employment in case you need hookups to keep you warm during the winter.
Very nice place to stay. Your van looks cool all lit up at night. Thanks for showing us around too 😊
I know that dish is delicious, I love cheese too; I can never have too much cheese. Enjoy your stay at the campground.
Your recipes are awesome! Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
I totally enjoy your content. I love how independent and focused you are on your content.
Bless your heart. It makes me hurt to see you so tired out. You give too much of yourself. You have already given your whole country all of you ..I hope u enjoy your 2 days off . You so deserve it. Love to u.
Did you leave me that message about the telegram ? I've never heard of that. I recently got hacked on Facebook, my son did too. Now, I'm afraid to do anything . If it's really u , thank u .
Your so real and original ❤ such a realistic perspective of van life .
I literally went on Walmart and brought the superfood I never heard of it before your video 🤗thanks for sharing
I enjoyed this video. Thank you. What a beautiful camp ground. Worth what you paid. I would feel safe there.
I feel like you are courageous for living the way you want and as long as it makes you happy life is worth living
I love your videos. Your voice is very soothing. I do not know how you can cook in silence. I am always talking to myself when I am cooking. I really like the way you format your videos,
🌸💗sooo this video was too long for who…YOU😂 your the only one complaining I am thrilled we get a few more moments with you rolls 👀. I’ve never been to KOA but have heard much about them. IF you ever get an annual mbrship say with Thousand Trails then you’ll just use KOA for those in between times when you don’t want to boondock, City dwell or the stealth route, it works best as a digital nomad so you can move about from site to site. Although I’m in a minivan, I’ve done about 3 yrs of research of what my journey will be once I get my promaster. I have learned much from “Where Is Tiffany” on this subject particularly bec she is a solo brown female and for us in this lifestyle I’ve found safety is paramount with the climate of the country in certain locations. That said I enjoyed seeing you & the extra time you gave us this week. I miss ya already 🌸💗🌸
Good morning 😀Cooking breakfast,pancakes eggs sausages while watching your video ! Thank you for sharing! Blessings
Wow, KOA has come a really long way. The have such beautiful grounds and amenities.
I remember showering at other campgrounds with spiders and whatever else because they were shacks exposed to nature. LOL
This is the second time I've seen your pot sized pasta.
I giggle because I never knew it existed AND I learned to break the hard pasta in half.
The unbroken long pasta just "melts" down into the water. So no matter the size of pasta, it all gets cooked and yummy!
You should get a small funnel to easily pour your powder into the bottle!
Keep on zooming along!
Take care,
Carol
You got honey from a farmers market and said the lady told u the color difference is due to spring vrs. fall is darker not exactly it is due to what the bees feed on if u want to see dark honey lookup Hawaiian honey. I noticed you were doing your laundry before going tot he campground............you do know they have laundry at campgrounds right? just seems like it would save u some time.
The outside lights are so cool! You’ll need a couple tiki torches when you’re sitting outside.
Cheesy Pasta looked delicious. Enjoy the walk around the campground.
Had to pause for another comment! Oh my goodness that green superfood you just put out of your cabinet! Girl that's where it's at! Scoop of That with a scoop of ant based vanilla protein powder some ice cubes 2 bananas fill with almond milk in a Magic Bullet chef's kiss it's amazing I mean you could obviously do it in a blender also but I only cook just for me so I use a Magic Bullet
Love your videos! Thank you for the pricing and tour of the campgrounds! I’ve always wondered about how much per night they charge. Now I have a great idea! But! I must say this…. you need a small cutting board! 😊👍🌹❤️
Hello I stumbled across your videos , I can really appreciate all the time and effort that you put into making your videos. I love the positive iMessage as far as your videos very call me please stay safe just on the road and I like the things that you teach about van life, nice build ☀️🙏🏽
