I've been some places where it felt a little 'less restful' to park and sleep. And there is the hassle of finding parking where you won't alert the "HOA" in some cases. Overall, I'd say it's not a huge matter, especially depending on you and your rig.
She never said he was spying on her, is just that in a van you can easily hear everything that happens outside and the same goes the other way around, it doesn’t feel the same as being in your property bc you’re basically living in public places so you cannot ask for full privacy, also there’s not much space

"!STOP!".....not everyone is traveling & that's not the FULL definition of Vanlife. Some people live in different vehicles like a car, SUV or truck. Some stay in the same area & work or live in the area. Whether one lives in a house or vehicle, there is always something to fix, negatives, positives, etc. One just needs to weigh the Pros & Cons according to their own personal situation & needs.
I dealt with the privacy part by buying a cargo van with no windows in the rear. There's always going to be nosy people watching you just have to not care. I also have a power station and a portable fridge so my food stays good. I usually plan my trips ahead of time where I will eat, sleep, location of gyms, roadside parks, places to eat anything I will need. Planning ahead makes a big difference.

Love and appreciate the honesty. But this is where you reach out to friends/family, etc. I will offer to Pay to use their driveway, water, electric, laundry.

I have a safehouse nearby. The door has an automatic door code opener. The code is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

I go on vanlife "trips" every so often. I'll just hit the road for a few weeks at a time not really knowing where I'm going and here's the best way i can explain what I've learned: The good times, are AMAZING. The pure euphoria you feel looking at some views is indescribable. However, this is only about 10-25% of your actual lifestyle. The rest is miserable and chaotic, but that 10% really does make the other 90 worth it.
Depends because in some countries the storm water drainage is linked to the sewers. In the UK the rainwater from the downpipes goes into the sewerage drains whereas here in Australia we have a separate rainwater system
I put my clothes out for each day of the week once a week. I do it to limit the decisions I have to make which cause me stress and time. I simply don’t want to imagine having to decide where and how to sleep each night. I hope you find safe spots with less stress.
I lived in a hatch back car for 5 years. You have really to simplify. No dishes, only carry dry foods, don’t try to pack a cooler, plan ahead so you know we’re to sleep and eat, have a gym membership for showers. Basically don’t carry unnecessary crap, just the absolute essentials and only clothes and outfits that you actually wear. Tint all your windows…. I could go on forever. But at the end of the month when you Don’t have to send the huge mortgage or rent check, it’s a fantastic feeling 👍👍👍
You empty your toilet down a street drain!? There's all manner of tech to help you find suitable places to stop and don't buy Chinese generators, they melt.
As someone who did van life for five years, not on RUclips. I will tell you van life is great if you are a RUclips person and especially a good looking female, you can pretty much go and do whatever you want. Build whatever you want.
All these males in the comments says THEY are never scared of parking anywhere, so neither should she. As if the level of danger is anywhere close of that for a woman. Think again, males!
I'm a guy and I'm afraid of some parking lots. There are crazy and hot-headed people out and about. I've been attacked in my local Walmart parking lot three times, twice just sitting in my car. And I don't live in a bad area, my city has one of the lowest crime rates in the area. One time during lunch at Walmart a guy threw his McDonald's bag of trash into my car through my open window and tried to open my door and called me a racist. I've literally never seen this guy, he was probably on drugs. That or he took issue with my employment with Walmart as I've had many tell me its a racist place that discriminates and harasses its customers. The other time a guy walked up to my car from behind and spooked me when he appeared in the window and tried to get me to lower my window. When I didn't comply beyond a slim gap so we could easier talk he tried to open my door which was locked and then starting kicking and smacking my car. Before walking away yelling further abuse. Then he returned and tried breaking in again. And once a customer I had approached at the Self-Checkout stations about not scanning items (literally dozens of items and they were suspicious as all get out looking around like they were being watched, which they were) waited for me after work and tried to pick a fight and hollered things at me. They tried to splash their soda at me too and thre the bottle at me. I just went back inside Walmart and alerted security after realizing they'd probably follow me to my car. There are crazy people out there.
What I get from your videos is - you always look great. I lived the van life when I was young. It used to be called being a dirty lazy hippie with no direction. Glad people have given it a different name
Yes you are right I remember that. Remember the bumper stickers , “ don’t laugh , your daughter may be in here.” ? 😂😂😂 funny until you find out your daughter actually is in one of them.
Its called being homeless. I can't believe you would rather live in a van than find a guy to settle down with in a real apartment or house and start a family.
My brother and I have been accused of being so nutty that van living would be like a vacation. Sad part is we are in our mid 40's with nothing to lose.😅😅😅
Worst thing about living in a van is that you have to be a young beautiful woman with as little clothes as possible, any other category of person is a bum.
She’s wearing shorts and a crop top for less than 5 seconds in the video. Plus she can’t help that she’s beautiful. Just say you’re intimidated and move on. You men be so weird in these comments.
The best thing about it for the elites is that in a few short years it will depreciate to almost nothing and you will have to buy another one. Lucky for her she's beautiful and she can always find some idiot guy to go off to work everyday and pay for whatever she needs.
"Theres always somebody watching" *shows people minding their own business, not giving a shit about her while she watches them and records them like a creep* It must be so difficult thinking the world would stop spinning without you.
Then she hits the gym in next to nothing and films herself and everybody else in the gym and if a guy dares glance at her or move in her direction she tries to expose him as a creep for views and money

She's not complaining. she's just sharing some downsides about van life. I swear most males don't have the capacity to understand a simple video from a woman and get mad. why're they such emotional creatures lmao.
I can see where those are some of the down sides and know there are more but the biggest up side is not having to get up for a 9-5 job! That’s a nice feeling of freedom!
Then how do you support yourself? You also need a permanent address to have a driver's license along for the vehicle title, registration and insurance.
Why do people hate on her. She didnt say she has a hard life she said thta just like every lifestyle this one isnt perfect. Jesus people stop being mean for no reason
That's why I decided against buying a van for road travel trips here in Australia......I value my safety and security.....am still going to do those driving trips in my new fuel efficient Mitsubishi ASX SUV but stay at budget hotels, air bnb etc, more privacy, more comfortable.....and will still enjoy myself, still meet people, still spend time in nature, take photos.....but I admire and respect those who choose to do van travel and living!
I just started the van life with the crazy rent prices here in socal rn, I just pay someone $300 a month to park in their driveway. It’s totally worth it because I’m allowed to use the Wi-Fi, they have a bathroom in the detached garage, only time I sometimes see the home owners is when I shower inside the house, and they even allow me to hook up to water and electric when I’m parked there. The worst part at first was definitely finding low key parking spots overnight, but now I can park without anyone ever bothering me again😁
Totally agree about the privacy point. Especially if you're filming and posting every detail of your trip.
Kinda, if she’s not doing lives there is no problem, she can publish the content up to a week after leaving the place

Right at the start of the Journey. Luckily I could divert my route past my appartment. But I still had to take an emergency stop at a gas station before I could continue.
If I was still in my van it would have been easy. Just get a bucket and a trashbag. Because that toilet will be full by the end of the day when your stomach gets upset 😂😂😂.
But just plan your stops and toilet breaks. It is quite easy and while living in a van you can always find a public place to do your number 2.
Ever heard of a gym? Lol you can shower there
@@daivonclark5151 I would always prefer my own private bathroom. Gym bathrooms and showers can be nasty.
I feel your pain and couldn't agree more. I'm a truck driver and I spent about 10 years over the road and you did a very good job of describing my life
What about sex can we have that In your van ?
Be safe out there!
A balloon pilot had an old saying, "I'd rather be down here wishing I was up there than up there wishing I was down here." I can't wait to be back in van life.
Hey, this is the most honest and actual review of a camper van I've ever seen. thanks !
Great thing is if you don’t like your neighbors it’s easy to move 😅
Not necessarily, you would have to move every few minutes and at all times of night...street life is a nightmare! Period!!!!!
@@russ549 No vanlifer stays on the same neighborhood (unless using a friends driveway) lol.
Sounds like you didnt plan your traveling life if you got the knock and decided to just move to the next block.
it's very hard if you're by yourself. there's a lot to be said about sharing the good times and the bad, being able to lean on each other.
One living in a van.. huge draw backs.. stay well and vigilant. Praying for you..💯🇺🇸😎🌪🌎😊😇
Love and appreciate the honesty. But this is where you reach out to friends/family, etc. I will offer to Pay to use their driveway, water, electric, laundry. And I find that some homeowners will readily accept that deal if you rotate often (for example, maybe 2 weeks at one spot and 2 weeks with another fren). It Benefits everyone, and still you have your privacy 💜
Privacy:
Film myself in undies living in a van.
Got it.
shut up
Your comment is witty you must a cool person😊
She really don't tho - give herself privacy
That's hilarious
it’s almost like she can chose when to film herself.
People always think travel is a holiday. It’s exhausting. But we love it.
Oh pumpkin will you be ok?
@@mattjohnson1561
Oh Matty doll, you're such a card.
I have a safehouse nearby.
The door has an automatic door code opener.
The code is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Upstairs, in the nightstand next to the bed in the master bedroom is a stainless steel, Ruger Super Blackhawk SAO loaded with six bone crushing Garrett Catridges of Texas, 310 grain .44 Magnum Hanmerhead Defender rounds.
Should keep you safe.
You have to pull the hammer back to fire young lady. You’ll figure it out. Hold on tight though.
The rule is no one makes it up the stairs alive. Stick to that rule.
I won’t be there for a couple weeks, I’m out flying around.
The place is yours until I get back. Some frozen pizza in the freezer too, a 12 of Yuengling Black and Tan in the fridge. Have at it.
I am an over the road truck driver, i do have some privacy but i do know about not knowing where your going to sleep and security is also a problem.
Ya I was gonna say we do what she does…. Except I do it 30 m long with 9 axles and a 115k kb machine 😂 park that
@davidburdett1920 do you do it in ya panties tho 😂😂😂😂
You got the height advantage in your rig.
Men of culture, we meet again.
Reporting to duty
?
sir yes sir
Get your depraved ass outside, bro
Your disgusting
“you have to find a place to sleep every single…” *cuts to clip of Eiffel Tower in the background*
You’re living the life.
The one thing that makes van life fun is having a base to operate out of ..to take a rest ..do repairs etc
She's recording everything and posting it online while compaining about privacy 💀
I tried it and getting a room for a night or two really helped.
I've got the back of my truck converted, I totally agree about the room
Tips for all three of those 1 prepare the night before 2 prepare 3 prepare before driving
I am still amazed there isn't a rental company that rents these lux vans. I know I couldn't do this full time. It's a safety thing for me.
After filming she went back to her house and slept in her bed!
More like the 5 star hotel down the road.
HAHAHA !!!
Y'all have no idea...
Real van dwellers don't look hot
I do hate it when people sometimes over glamorize vanlife so this is very refreshing with your honesty.
Simp
@@jellibellishyjay2603 and maybe you're also too broke
@whiteAfrikkkanNun remember that it's only broke people who cannot afford to live in a van.
She has way to much things to be even attempting this. Van life is more for minimalist ppl. In otherwords blanket, pillow(optional.) thats it.
@whiteafrikkkannun1442 houseless not homeless. Shes got a home thats got the worlds biggest backyard thats composed of 48 states, internet, lights, bed, sink, toilet, table, food, and she can do everything you do in your house in all 48 states.
And guess what buckaroo? travelers like her spend more on gas than you do, and you think shes got no $$$?
3 worst things i see clearly was 1: Paranoia 2: unskilled for maintenance 3: Ingratitude
Mobile living has saved me big money over the years, freedom, stress-free living 😊
Do a video on 5 best things of living in a van
1. Save on rent or mortgage
2. Travelling, meeting new people
❤✌️👍
The freedom of living a Minimal life
I can imagine it can be very hard, and sort of lonely. Stability and one spot can feel so safe
I don't see why it has to be lonely, unless you're a hermit and stay in the van all day. I mean lots of people do that and live in homes.
What would a beautiful girl like her be living in a van for? Do you know how many guys would want to take care of her, and give her proper shelter.
I've done this for years and without exception the most challenging part is finding a place to park where you can stay without the police or someone trying to kick you out. California and Oregon were two of the worst.
“Sometimes you just wanna go and feel secure, somewhere”. Isn’t that what we can home?
"call"?
*call*
Bro forgot the most important word in the sentence lol
@@LisaOnRoids just like my friend say that you are speaking in home country accent. Say it in USA Accents then you will look like a good English speaking than you will score good in IELTS test
@@alihyder7266 Okay?
LOL - Privacy.....? Do you see the irony?
right lmao
At youtube you can share what you want to see other people about your life and put things out.. But I agree it sounds strange, because you share a bit of your life for quite a few thousand people
The difference is she’s choosing when to get her camera out and it’s a tiny portion of her day and it’s not a violation of privacy… if it’s her choice
Never to many places to sleep and have privacy
Yup
🤣🤣🤣 Love seeing the Eifel Tower in the background
The privacy issue can actually be solved with curtains, removeable tints or any similar way, the other two are straight up facts
relax...
plan your stays...
when you find a nice place, stay there a while.
if you're sick of it, don't do it...
She talked about privacy and then shows the world that she's showering 💀
Media is controlled; daily existence cannot be moderated or cut out from a recording. They aren't the same.
Jealous huh?
@@hellooutthere8956 what's here to be jealous? You didn't get my point
@@vavacadoz are you serious? I shower daily but I don't broadcast it to the world. It could obviously be cut out if she wanted to.
and what did you see? anything private? oh….ok….
I go on vanlife "trips" every so often. I'll just hit the road for a few weeks at a time not really knowing where I'm going and here's the best way i can explain what I've learned:
The good times, are AMAZING. The pure euphoria you feel looking at some views is indescribable. However, this is only about 10-25% of your actual lifestyle. The rest is miserable and chaotic, but that 10% really does make the other 90 worth it.
Its basically being homeless. No security, no safe space, everyday needs to be figured out by it self, no longterm planning
Pouring your sewage down a storm drain?!
I’m surprised that’s allowed, here in the states it is illegal.
Reminds me of Christmas Vacation movie.
Depends because in some countries the storm water drainage is linked to the sewers. In the UK the rainwater from the downpipes goes into the sewerage drains whereas here in Australia we have a separate rainwater system
@@1bizjetsThe shitter's full. 😂🤣 I love that movie.
10/1 says she has a house to sleep in when she feels like it.
prob her parents or bf or somethin, or whatever random dude she sleeps with
I put my clothes out for each day of the week once a week. I do it to limit the decisions I have to make which cause me stress and time. I simply don’t want to imagine having to decide where and how to sleep each night. I hope you find safe spots with less stress.
If I lived in a van with you, every problem I have would be solved 🤣
I lived in a hatch back car for 5 years. You have really to simplify. No dishes, only carry dry foods, don’t try to pack a cooler, plan ahead so you know we’re to sleep and eat, have a gym membership for showers. Basically don’t carry unnecessary crap, just the absolute essentials and only clothes and outfits that you actually wear. Tint all your windows…. I could go on forever. But at the end of the month when you Don’t have to send the huge mortgage or rent check, it’s a fantastic feeling 👍👍👍
Where did you take a dump in the middle of the night for example in emergencies?
@@meltingspot1064 never had that issue. I take all my dumps at work or at the gym
Privacy much be difficult when you live in public.
She don't really wants the privacy
That hair tho. Why is messy hair so attractive 😭😭😭
bc 90% of her body is exposed
Truth!! Can’t stop won’t stop! Love your channel❤
"It's draining travelling around looking for some where to stay the night" 😳 as a long distance lorry/truck driver you have it easy my dear😂😂😂
I bet you have a house though 😂
@@skylined5534 well that's a bet you just lost isn't it. I dont have a house. But let me ask why is that relevant
You empty your toilet down a street drain!? There's all manner of tech to help you find suitable places to stop and don't buy Chinese generators, they melt.
As someone who did van life for five years, not on RUclips. I will tell you van life is great if you are a RUclips person and especially a good looking female, you can pretty much go and do whatever you want. Build whatever you want.
All these males in the comments says THEY are never scared of parking anywhere, so neither should she. As if the level of danger is anywhere close of that for a woman. Think again, males!
How would someone know a woman is inside, just from seeing a parked car....
Is she not the one (by choice) in the weird van in a parking lot recording people?
I'm a guy and I'm afraid of some parking lots. There are crazy and hot-headed people out and about. I've been attacked in my local Walmart parking lot three times, twice just sitting in my car. And I don't live in a bad area, my city has one of the lowest crime rates in the area.
One time during lunch at Walmart a guy threw his McDonald's bag of trash into my car through my open window and tried to open my door and called me a racist. I've literally never seen this guy, he was probably on drugs. That or he took issue with my employment with Walmart as I've had many tell me its a racist place that discriminates and harasses its customers.
The other time a guy walked up to my car from behind and spooked me when he appeared in the window and tried to get me to lower my window. When I didn't comply beyond a slim gap so we could easier talk he tried to open my door which was locked and then starting kicking and smacking my car. Before walking away yelling further abuse. Then he returned and tried breaking in again.
And once a customer I had approached at the Self-Checkout stations about not scanning items (literally dozens of items and they were suspicious as all get out looking around like they were being watched, which they were) waited for me after work and tried to pick a fight and hollered things at me. They tried to splash their soda at me too and thre the bottle at me. I just went back inside Walmart and alerted security after realizing they'd probably follow me to my car.
There are crazy people out there.
Yap yap yap. Stop projectinggg
@@timbaktuu9845 Hardly yapping, hardly projecting.
What I get from your videos is - you always look great. I lived the van life when I was young. It used to be called being a dirty lazy hippie with no direction. Glad people have given it a different name
Yes you are right I remember that.
Remember the bumper stickers , “ don’t laugh , your daughter may be in here.” ? 😂😂😂 funny until you find out your daughter actually is in one of them.
@@wordforthespirit7852😂😂😂
Retitle this "my moans about vanlife and I probably dont have the personality to be alone"
Its called being homeless. I can't believe you would rather live in a van than find a guy to settle down with in a real apartment or house and start a family.
My brother and I have been accused of being so nutty that van living would be like a vacation.
Sad part is we are in our mid 40's with nothing to lose.😅😅😅
Worst thing about living in a van is that you have to be a young beautiful woman with as little clothes as possible, any other category of person is a bum.
Good one!
She’s wearing shorts and a crop top for less than 5 seconds in the video. Plus she can’t help that she’s beautiful. Just say you’re intimidated and move on. You men be so weird in these comments.
@@Romxantic Take a look at the thumbnails for all these women's videos, and just how often they are semi-nude.
You don't understand nothing.
@@Romxantic FR LIKE WHAT IS THIS-
This was the first step of “you will own nothing and you will be happy” except she doesn’t sound happy.
Why own a house when you can live inside your vehicle. THE GREAT RESET
You vill eat ze bugs, and you vill be happy
She owns a van
@@shanelaurent4221 and probably makes enough money to live on and doesn't pay rent
The best thing about it for the elites is that in a few short years it will depreciate to almost nothing and you will have to buy another one. Lucky for her she's beautiful and she can always find some idiot guy to go off to work everyday and pay for whatever she needs.
Bottom line seems to be not enough income to rent or buy a home of some type, hence why you’re in a van. What kind of career does this girl possess.
the worst thing about van life is that this is actually a homelessness. And those are actually just parts of homelessness
Not sure privacy is a concern of yours miss minimal clothes.. you push a distortion of reality for a living. Peace ✌️ stay strong 💪
✨🙏✨
Bugger off clown.
"Theres always somebody watching" *shows people minding their own business, not giving a shit about her while she watches them and records them like a creep*
It must be so difficult thinking the world would stop spinning without you.
Then she hits the gym in next to nothing and films herself and everybody else in the gym and if a guy dares glance at her or move in her direction she tries to expose him as a creep for views and money
oh shut up -- you watched did you not?
Fair point. ☺️ That fella pushing the trolleys really gave a shit about her. 🙄
@@packiemack2505 i just wanna understand their mind set. Like how is it possible to not realize how insignificant you are in a world of 6 billion+ people? Her thought process is like an alien language to me lol
❤ lmao
She forgot the burglary part.
whoever gets to have u as a life partner is incredibly lucky
I completely understand your pain. i have to rise every morning at 4,30 am Go and do a 11 hr shift of hard graft
nobody cares, go get a million dollars from your dad and go live in a van.
Simply she ain’t for the outside
@@abduallhzhuh?
Is she supposed to feel bad for you? You’re in the wrong place to be crying about your job… Maybe try therapy
The worst part about "van life" is that you're technically homeless.
We have logging roads and tons of hidden campsites. So none of those things are a concern. There’s places to park 15 minutes from my work and I wouldn’t see anyone
It is hard to believe that a young person has the knowledge to realize that most of what she is complaining about is stuff she could avoid.
If her amp is burning out then she has it in a reall bad confined spot like probably covered in blankets. How she hasnt set her van on fire yet is beyond me.
Fr! I cant feel any empathy or sympathy for you when you choose to live this way and can opt out at any point, its weird when high income people pick lives like these that are essentially glamorizations of ways soem low income people live without a chouce and then complain about it being difficult. If you enjoy it, good for you. But dont complain about it and expect me to feel bad
She's not complaining. she's just sharing some downsides about van life. I swear most males don't have the capacity to understand a simple video from a woman and get mad. why're they such emotional creatures lmao.
I can see where those are some of the down sides and know there are more but the biggest up side is not having to get up for a 9-5 job! That’s a nice feeling of freedom!
Not paying rent, electric, buy furniture, pay water and trash , and you can drive to another spot if you do not like your neighbors
Then how do you support yourself? You also need a permanent address to have a driver's license along for the vehicle title, registration and insurance.
If it's living with you in it, definitely the best 😂😂
Why do people hate on her. She didnt say she has a hard life she said thta just like every lifestyle this one isnt perfect. Jesus people stop being mean for no reason
That's why I decided against buying a van for road travel trips here in Australia......I value my safety and security.....am still going to do those driving trips in my new fuel efficient Mitsubishi ASX SUV but stay at budget hotels, air bnb etc, more privacy, more comfortable.....and will still enjoy myself, still meet people, still spend time in nature, take photos.....but I admire and respect those who choose to do van travel and living!
I just started the van life with the crazy rent prices here in socal rn, I just pay someone $300 a month to park in their driveway. It’s totally worth it because I’m allowed to use the Wi-Fi, they have a bathroom in the detached garage, only time I sometimes see the home owners is when I shower inside the house, and they even allow me to hook up to water and electric when I’m parked there. The worst part at first was definitely finding low key parking spots overnight, but now I can park without anyone ever bothering me again😁
That's an incredible deal. Thank them often.
Those deals are hard to find and they're usually in "bad part of town"
such nice people to allow you guys to their home, but also saved you on lots of house bills
