Welcome to my channel, my name is Christi and after 4 years of living full time in my tiny Casita RV named Gidget, I recently transitioned to my van named Indy. Over 4 years ago I decided I wanted to simplify my life so I sold most of my belongings and said goodbye to a stationary lifestyle. I travel solo and share the places & adventures I find. I think the greatest tragedy is to have life but not live it, so I’m on a mission to enjoy every single day that I’m on this earth with no regrets. My motto is to “enjoy the little things” and not take this life for granted.
Oregon Coast must sees! Van life sure makes it easy.

Hiking at The Old Zoo Nature Trail in Cisco, Texas was a pretty cool & unique experience. After the suspicious death of a deer followed by the poisoning of a bear, this zoo was closed and abandoned. You can now visit and explore the old zoo ruins and extra hiking trails at no charge and at your own risk.

Was the only reason you could stay was because of harvest host? Like if you don’t have harvest, was there a flat fee to stay overnight?
Hi Christi! New subscriber here I’m going to attempt the hike this weekend thank you for posting ❤
That’s awesome !! Let me know what you thought. It’s on my list to try again with hopefully a better ending lol. It was absolutely beautiful 😍
So great 👍
I love your set-up! Do you have a max air fan?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Trully horrible. Amazed everybody here is loving it.
ok im now subsricbed and also sad to hear about your daughter, love and light to you
was that bench from Amazon also? Your next level of 'no build' is amazing. You have nailed it
for a 'no build, van build' it's great, gives me food for thought for sure
Where have you been? ? Missing your content!
I’m 66 yr old widow, bought my last summer. I was so nervous the first couple of times. But this year I can’t get enough! Love your bed set up, doing the same with mine. Looks really good and so cozy! Enjoy your travels!
You have a neat and clean setup love it!! I am also in Texas and want to get back to vanlife but it’s scary for me to do solo lol 😂❤
I couldn’t buy the insulation on your Amazon Store. So asking how much insulation did you buy? Also, I know you are a DYIR - and so ok if you don’t know. I am not sure I will add anything to the walls as I have 4 large dogs. So, space is at a premium. Would it be crazy to insulate the whole thing and then rip off as I modify?
I might do a no build because i like the idea of less stuff =less breaking down. No plumbing =no plumbing issues. No electricity =no electrical issues. So i might just get a van and have my dad help me insulate floor, walls and ceiling and then put cool furniture from the thrift store. No need to spend thousands. People are paying 100k for some of this fully built out vans which is just nuts because this is supposed to be the cheaper alternative to actual housing.
Insulation!!! You'll need it come winter....
Nice! Why does everyone feel the need to let everyone know what’s in every single drawer that they have I think we can figure it out it’s life stuff!
Oddly enough, when I don’t show those things I’m told that’s what people want to know and see. To each their own for sure :-). Just trying to respond based on feedback:-). Have a good day.
nice & simple
I know you don't have the Casita anymore but I was wondering how you dealt with condensation in it?
My biggest concern is how to attach the furniture. I would love to see how you bungee yours in.
This is amazing! I'm so excited to see what you do as time goes on. 🎉
This makes me want to buy a van!
I love it 🎉🎉 💯
You are terrfic, I am getting inspiried.
Impressive. Best wishes.
Can you give a link to the exact Jackery 2000 that you purchased.
Lovely 😊
Very cute and functional 😊
Thank you for sharing.
Love the simple setup!❤
I'm happy for you , you been perfect etc. Did you miss the point she has the van 3 weeks., also it's her van not yours.
Good looking windows, I noticed @2:38 that the window was fitted inverted with the drain ports facing up. I hope you noticed this glitch before the final install. Good Vibes !
👍👍👍👍
Christe, I sent you an email but forgot to ask you what year, brand and model of van this is? I am watching this September 8, 2024. Teresa
Wow! Very attractive and functional. Love how are you are using magnets everywhere. Wish you didn't need to insulate. This might be my favorite build so far.
Thank you 😊 The insulation definitely changed the look but was necessary for my travels. I was a pretty big fan of the van look without the insulation :-)
It’s great she has so much ready for her daily use. However I couldn’t help notice that there is SO very much wasted space. Everything could be so much better condensed for better use of space.
I'd absolutely love to live in this adorable little camper.! It's wonderful,great looking! Wish it was mine!😂😊🎉❤😊
Thanks for watching:-)
Whats the name of your cabnet
amzn.to/3XcPNTu Here’s the link but it shows unavailable as of now :-(
I have owned 5 vans over many years and have preferred to keep my van fully capable of doing anything. I have insulated and skinned the floor, walls, and ceiling with cabinet grade plywood. All of my camper furniture I have built to be modular and can be easily taken out if I want the full cargo option. If I want to carry additional passengers the removable rear bench seat can be used. My wife and I van camp many times during the summer and using plastic totes can simply store under the bed platform. Throw rugs can be easily taken out shaken off and boom done. I like the minimal and uncluttered interior because nature and the outdoors becomes our living space .
My have no windows! I have a fan on top of the van and planning to put a second one. I can open the Fan on top anytime and anywhere i am if is not raining, also the fans is like skylight you can see the inside all the time. For a woman I feel more protected this way
Keeping it simple makes for the best travel!
I considered a second fan too :-)
Now THIS is the van build video for me. I want to continue living rent free and don't know the difference between a hammer and screwdriver. Thank you.
😂♥️. Thanks for tuning in and commenting!
Bless you❤. You are inspirational. I am so sorry for your loss and admire your strength. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Loved this video! Thank you so much. You’re a lovely person with lots of good information. However, I won’t be able to subscribe because my ears can’t tolerate upspeak. I know, I know, I know that makes me a terrible person, but I think it’s hardwired in.
Didn’t realize I was doing that but thanks for watching this one anyway:-)
I watch most utube stuff with mute on and closed captioning on.
The clever Lady.
I love the updates. Once I have the van, insulation, bathroom and bed.. I am OUT. Lol
Look into using XPS foam instead of wood for building up some structure in your van! I watched a video on that recently and it seems like a great idea for people who aren't wood working experts! It works as insulation too.
Very nice beginning...setup and prep...to be continued. Your basic arrangement is superb. It's sufficient and serves all the fundamental essentials that are necessary. Thank you for sharing your foundational startup...it's impressive and inspiring. I'm subscribing to continue watching your Vanbuild and journey. Safe and Happy Travels! ⛰🏞🏜🚐🌄🏜
I hate having nothing to do on the van when I'm away in it. I take tools and materials for at least ONE mission. I'd hate a ready built van.
Hi. I have a 1999 Sprinter 312D that is also a working vehicle as well as being a MotoCamper. I can put the bike inside. I have 3 long pieces of fabric which I hold in place with magnets, and seeing as you have all those magnetic gadgets... Simply hang one piece of fabric down each side and one on the ceiling, with more magnets. Makes it much more cosy.
You need to add some PNW to that map ;)
Sweeeeeeet setup!!!!
this video footage was amazing
