As a previous airport employee, I can assure you they knew you were there. They're just used to seeing literally everything happening in the garages.
Since it's so heavily patrolled, probably the safest place to be for a single woman to be
You can get airside (past TSA) after midnight on the day of your departure. Airside at most airports have nice carpeting and it's a well known thing to sleep there as long as you are a ticketed passenger
I just got a job with a major airline in SFO as a mechanic, I will be driving out there in my van from San Diego. Definitely sleeping in it until I stack enough money. Thanks for sharing.
The best thing for you is that they have a parking area for employees. We do here at IAH. My suggestion would be to park in the back and move around so you won't always be in the same parking spot. You'd be surprised at nosey cowkrs noticing what's not their business.
@@JNante great point, thanks for the heads up.
Totally makes sense for a vanner with an early flight departure.
She's gonna fly out the next day I don't see anything wrong with it!
A friend of mines dad lived out of a '88 astro van for 16 years before he was able to afford a decent place to live ,unfortunately he is no longer an earthdweller, but he continued to drive an astro til the end , the last being a 2000.
I don’t even try to hide anymore because 9times out of ten, they already know lol❤
What they think they know and what they can prove, are two very different things. 😅. I'd buy the panel van version of an Astro van and then install a metal partition and in front. Just let people knock and not get a reply.
@@GrantTravels23 If you're a panel van, partition or not, as a guard I'm gonna be 99.9% positive you're a camper unless you have company logos or some other indication of a rental or contract vehicle on the van. For the most part if you're not taking up customer parking and you're not destroying the parking lot we don't care. The mall I used to patrol had vehicle counts excluding Planet Fitness, so if you were to park in PF I wouldn't mind as long as you were deep at the back near the rd bc up close is for actual PF users & that mall had specific stats about customer parking. In general they expect the overnight vehicle count to be, at least for them, the Best Buy's vehicles, the security personnel's personal vehicle and that's it. All vehicle's license plates are recorded and, for the mall I worked at, 48 hrs present on the lot with no communication to security was a tow.
many years ago I was a limo driver and the biggest challenge to napping in the car was people using their panic button to find their car...usually right as you start to drift off BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
I love your van & that's the kind I wanted when I first started watching "Vanlife" on RUclips 8 yrs ago !!! I believe if your flying from an airport u should be ok to sleep in your van since your leaving it there!!!👍✌️
Blue time is called the gloaming
Oooh really? That’s good to know! Thanks!
Hi. Just a thought. You really should block your license plate. Lots of weirdos on the internet.
I watch Ryan Twomey when he flys back east he parks in airport parking
New subscriber and part time van lifer here. As far as airport parking, I’ve done the same thing. I always try to “tuck myself in” somewhere in a corner. If I can, I back in. I’ve done the same in hospital lots. Most important I think is prep your van for stealth before you leave. Once you park try to stay in the car. Yes, rest stops are the best. I try to park close to the truckers and say hello if I get a chance. They are great people! Some states are better than others. I use Allstays app to try and locate them when I travel. I just did 8 states so I know. Great channel.
Great idea! I just got back from Spokane visiting my youngest daughter she drove me to Canada 🇨🇦 and Idaho very beautiful from Northern California be safe ❤
i love the channel . seeing pa#G is just bonus
That's smart because airports are a hassel. and cheking in a luggage, things get lost, etc. Then you have to call the dumb 1-800 crap number so carry on is best! I do the same. :)
My Dad lives in Washington and I’m in New Mexico. That is a really long drive for sure. Love the video. ❤
Airport parking is so expensive in Australia 🇦🇺
It's no longer a secret they know now! LOL! Nah.... I'm joking with you!
I lived in a Chevy Astro van for three years
McDonald's fast food causes acne in my case. I will try something else. Thank you for sharing and you saved me time.
I really do miss vanlife, I’ve slept in my fair share of parking garages and hospital parking. Afterwhile I felt like I couldn’t find anywhere to stay or find a gathering of van lifers
Ah sorry to hear you ended up feeling you couldn’t find fellow vanners out there! There’s a lot of meetups/expos annually I like going to and I make friends there! Or I follow vanners on Instagram which can also help.
I’ve never done it but I decided next time I plan to leave car in lot for an early flight I’m going to try it.I live an hour from airport and if I have to get up at 4 I’d rather sleep in car. I haven’t checked a bag in many years.
Excellent parking! Fun adventure!
Watched your video on 4th of July. 🎉
That's so cool what you did in this video☺️ im new on your chanel. Thanks for content
Hey thanks so much! Happy 4th to you too! 🎉
Well done!
I also love blue hour.
So exciting! Fun Shit! I'm about to watch
Big ups to you ladies tuff
Glad everything worked out for ya! Enjoy WA - are you doing any hiking/exploring?
LOL @ “I’m not sure how allowed it is”
Now they know ✌️
Quiet a great setup u have going on, are there some showers at the airport? I would utilize them to avoid smelling a little raw on the plane.
Some paid airport lounges have shower facility but they may not be open that early.
Im driving going to see my mom in Tacoma washington leavig next week
I had grandma McFlurry
The bomb ❤❤❤❤
And I enjoy watching you and your van.
Have you toilet in your van?
Where are you going!? Safe travels ❤
Thank you! Visiting family in wa state for a few days!
Oh well then you would love where I live the interstate is my front yard and two access roads on each side of the interstate been here 10 years. Doesn't bother me a bit.
How bout the cellphone waiting lot ??
They know your there
It seems that stealth camping means stealth. Your vehicle should not look like someone is inside. If you park in a place where other vehicles are parked, and you are stealth, nobody would know. An airport could be an expensive place to park unless you happen to be needing to park there anyway. It may not be very quiet at the airport, depending on the particular airport.
What are the carry on weight limits in the US? We only get 7kgs/15lbs as cabin allowances. And they weigh at the gate 😤
Oh that sucks!! From my experience they don’t have a weight limit for carryon in the US!
No weight limit but size limits.
@@strangedaysdiaries we are always getting ripped off in Australia 😫
That’s only Jetstar
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
She hasn’t put the camera down,talking about if something happens,I’ll pick the camera up and let you know lol
Now they know.
Did it get hot inside the van? I guess it must be cooler weather there:)
Definitely cooler weather here, but I’ve also got my side windows that pop out to allow air in and a really nice fan inside that helps keep me cool.
@@strangedaysdiaries Love your setup! I can’t wait to travel and sleep in my van, I live in South Texas where it’s not possible without air conditioning, and it’s hard to be stealth with that 🙈😭😭🥹
How much does it cost to park a day in long-term parking at SFO?
$25/day. It’s not cheap ugh!
Damn you are absolutely gorgeous 😍
Hi, I really like how you think...blue hour...get some crystals hanging...Temu is super affordable....take care drive safe ~ Bonnie Eureka California Humboldt County USA 🌲🤸🦸🧚ps Hubby, John, loves your Astro Van:) thinks it's great
Aw thanks so much! I’ve actually been wanting to get some crystals in the van! And aw thanks John! 🌞

I think it’s about $25/day

What brand is that backpack and how big is it?
I got it on Amazon actually! The brand is Rinlist I think (just generic I think). Not sure the size but if you look up “travel soft shell clamshell backpack” it should come up!
@@strangedaysdiaries thank you!
What’s the cost for parking at the airport?
$25/day I think at sfo if I remember correctly 🥲
@@strangedaysdiaries $25 a day? And you were gone for s week? Listen for $175 they better let me pitch a whole tent in that spot 😂
Abq airport $7/day
What is come in clutch ?
Wait, did that say compact parking?
Haha yep, and I fit!
Don’t you get sweaty being in a car
mcd boycot..
Why are you talking like that?
Wow, talk about a detailed video
And and and and and and like and.
🇵🇸🍉
Consider decaf
I loved the video except for one bit. Why do we all feel the need to justify a McDonald's meal wen filming a video like this? everyone eats McDonald's, it's good, who cares. you very obviously aren't morbid or have health suffering from excessive weight.
U talk endlessly it woukd be better uf u talk less abd just get on with van life 😂
you talk endlessly,non stop,its not talking its droning.on and on without pause.and its painful!, a tonal monologue.no mas por me.
Well go!
@@finallyawakened3350 I have gone,hear my dust,
I.d to like to say it's not personal,your talking style of continuous no breaks talking,are you editing?and it's coming out that way,no gaps, or pauses between bits of conversation.its trying to understand one statement then there's a my other on top,you I,m trying to comprehend the first bit of info when the next and the next is coming in on top..it might be just me ,but he it very quickly aggravated me,and me I can be snappy tom.do you get what I mean,it's info overload.,for me t oo much too quick,no gaps, no time for me that is, to get with it,so to speak.as I said it might be me,not quick enough to get the message.so nothing personal I could have phrased my criticisim of your speaking style more diplomatically, so sorry about my that.
Anyways is not a word
Wow. You talk really face and move from one subject to another quickly. The last time I watched you , it was all about men from everywhere approaching you. I hoped that stopped. Have great day / trip.
Wow Nancy what a bitchy comment that is incredibly unnecessary and adds nothing to the world.
I will continue to watch and or subscribe, but you swear a lot , no judge I just don’t like hearing anyone swearing 🤬 Bless you on your journey
Swearing is a sign of intelligence didn’t you know. 🤔
@witteney3334 Nope, in fact, it is the opposite. So, I hope you were being sarcastic.
😢 Sadly, the use of swearing for emphasis or as fillers is getting worse with each generation and is filtering up to older folks who never used to swear.
What if you get the knock, how do they know you're in there?
I just got a job with a major airline in SFO as a mechanic, I will be driving out there in my van from San Diego. Definitely sleeping in it until I stack enough money. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats that’s awesome!
