Carolyn Higgins of Carolyn's RV Life is living her Best Life as a Solo Woman traveling with her Dog!
As an insider, I can testify it’s all true! And ... I still think we should do a channel together!
That would be fun; I'd watch it! ! Love you both Carolyn and Bob! Hugs from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Oh yes please...would be fantastic...I watch you both
Yessss! The dream team!
I started watching you through bobs blog
♥️
"I teach women how to live in an RV through the power of story." - - - I love that elevator pitch. It says it so succinctly. It gives a quick surface view to those first learning of you. But those who know how deep you are will understand the depth below that surface.
Thank you my friend 🙃
Carolyn, can I ever relate to your story. I am 10 yrs sober, 2008 lost my condo, marriage, and my business... and pretty much my mind. Funny how life turns out. Simple is best my friend. Simple is best.
Hugs!!!
Congrats on 10 years. That's awesome!!!😊😊😊
good for you ..God Bless
I'm 6 minutes into it.... And So far my story is coming out of your mouth. I have been living in my RV for a year now, but plugged in. I'm getting ready to take it on the road for the first time this week. I'm terrified! I've watched so many of your adventures and know I can still this. 55 and 8 years off drugs. Thank you.... You are part of my strength.
Congrads on 8 years. As long as you believe in a Higher Power! You will be fine! God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things that I can and the Wisdom to know the difference!
I would be terrified too. But there are so many good people out there. Be careful buy bear spray and have fun
Carolyn you get high on your life you have. Great for you. Most people haven’t figured that out. You go girl!
So true! thank you so much Janet!
Yeah you could seriously be a great life coach!
You are such an inspiration to just love life!
Hi Carolyn, It's not just Women or RVers that you inspire, you reach more people than you'll ever know. You're just looking at a camera but thousands of us are looking back at you watching & listening. I came across your channel when I lived in another country to the one I'm currently In. Long story short, with Covid, Job loss etc etc I lost everything & had to move to this country to stay with family and "Re-Build" in order to eventually go back to the country I love living in & through the magic of You Tube throughout it all you've been with me as much as I've been with you. You're a like a good friend who's stood by my side all the way & as corny as this sounds , you make me feel "Safe" because your wonderful vids are always there, no matter where I am In the world you're just a couple of clicks away. I wish you nothing but love, great health & happiness & just wanted to re-iterate how much of an impact you have on many of us. I could have just given up but you are inspiring me to get up again and keep moving ahead. Love You xxx
Thanks so much Dan! 🙏 I'm so sorry for your hardships. I hope things turn around for you soon. I'm so glad I can be here to help you through with my videos. 🤗👐🤗
Carol, I can't believe it has been five years !! I watched you from the beginning. I had been watching Bob for a year. Now I watch a dozen Nomad channels. You are the ONLY Nomad who actually likes to be out in nature by yourself. Good for you.
Check out Creativity RV. She enjoys boondocking in pretty locales too.
That's me!! We grew up in the army. I get bored fast, curious, want to see the stars at night and hear nature all day, from dawn til dusk.
Realizing that being authentic has been overused, I appreciate and value your authenticity ❤️
You've had quite a life and have been strong and wise enough to make a lot of good choices. That's inspiring. Thank you.
Pam, It was like 1 good choice for every 3rd bad choice, but yeah, it all worked out! Thank you so much!
I started watching you because my friend wanted to live the van/rv life as a single woman. Being her best friend I wanted to understand what it took. Instead, she changed her mind but I kept watching you.
D.. awww, oh my gosh that's suck a great story! Thank you. I'm glad you're still here!
At the age of 63, not many people inspire me anymore. YOU happen to be someone who does and you give me hope that maybe one day I'll be on the road full time, as well. Stay happy and healthy and THANK YOU for everything you do!! Hi Sadie!!!
Yes I am still here! Tuesday morning I am hitting the road full time. I have been sitting in my driveway in my van for a week now. Mom’s house sold in 4 days after signing, cleared it out and will sell my car tomorrow. All this less than a month after her death. But like you I have had the dream of becoming a nomad. Unlike you I did wait till I retired in 2020 so that I could live on social security. The Bay Area is so out priced I can’t believe anyone can afford it. Have always loved camping by myself and pushing the envelope of adventure. Have had many who hear that I have chosen this life style whom say I am so brave. This is actually a sad commentary on society’s view on the capabilities of women. Perhaps one of these days we will meet up on the road.
Congratulations🥂!.. so happy and excited for you. If you're ever in Nevada message me, I have a place in Washoe Valley just minutes from the state park, one of Carolyn's favorite places. I have obligation with my animals, one being my trusted stead that I've had 22 years now, that keeps me from being on the road all the time. I envy those that have the freedom like you have just acquired! Happy travels my friend, if you ever need a place to park those weary bones for a respite 😉 definitely look me up.
@@laurasperry2261 I am about a couple of hours away and been full time now for 10 days. Just leaving California behind. Can you text me at (707)321-1338 if we can meet up?
@@laurasperry2261 I’m at the washoe lake state campground. If you get this, I’m not sure how to message you. Can you text me at 707-321-1338?
Congratulations and good luck to you! 😊
Carolyn -- your story is so valuable. It provides therapy and wisdom for your fellow humans. You think you are alone, but you are not -- we are with you for every video. You MUST continue to tell it your story as candidly and honestly as you do. Can't wait to read your book. Be sure to make an audio version! Your voice is delightful.
I can’t tell you how much your videos mean to me. I’m starting my last week of work tomorrow. Friday I will officially retire. Your story is so similar to mine. You give me hope. I’m a little apprehensive but I know my new adventure will be awesome. Take good care and keep doing what makes you happy❤️
I’m so glad you share your life.. I’m a very similar person. It’s good to see that there’s eventually a path to freedom.
Yes, there is always a way out! Sometimes it might take a while, but if you want it, you'll get there. And I have faith that you will.
Both hands waving in air...YES..IM STILL HERE
Thank you so much to allow me in your life by sharing your story. You certainly have inspired me. Thank you
I'm so glad! Thank YOU!!!

I can so relate to living in the shadows of shame. Living through those difficult years has made an impact Love your talks. Hugs
I totally just watched it!
Thanks!
5 years really HAS flown by - at least from this perspective.
It wasn't always moving fast at the time...
Oh Matilda.
She was darling but such a lemon.
Carolyn's new rig never really was called by the name she gave it like Matilda did.
Not as much character but so much more reliable!
Thanks again for the link!
I remember watching this video I didn't know it was your first video. I've watched everyone since! Your content is informative and entertaining. I'm glad I subscribed and have been able to keep up with your adventures.
Thank you for sharing so many parts of your life, your stories, yourself.❤✌🌞
Thanks for listening
There are only two channels that I support and both are women I can relate to. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. While Matilda’s issues were a struggle, it made you stronger. It also inspired others like me that we don’t have to have everything perfect to live a happy nomadic adventure. I learned so much from you which is why I am one of your patrons and a big fan. Thank you for continuing to inspire so many to get past obstacles and to be happy, be free, and be kind!
As a long time listener to your voice, I knew much of your story. But it was nice to hear it in a concise overview here. And one part of your story I had not heard before was the chapter about Bob. That was very interesting. And I admire (but am not at all surprised) your being adamant about doing it yourself. Thanks for sharing, Carolyn.
Thank you so much for retelling your story to us...in a nutshell... I am glad I found your channel when I did! You motivated me at an important time in my life 👍🏼 Thank you for being YOU... Just the way you are💙💙💙
Janet, hearing that I motivated you at an important time in your life is what keeps me going. What keeps me doing this.. I am so lucky.. THANK YOU!
Happy Easter! I love when people tell their stories.
Betty, yay! Well, I certainly have stories! Happy Easter to you!
Great video, Carolyn! Thanks for sharing your story! Not only inspiring women, but men as well. Here's to continued success and living life to it's fullest!
You once (years ago) told me that your worst trolls had been subscribers.
It's not that I didn't believe you, but to SEE it like that!
I'm more disappointed by her than shocked.
You have a great story!
Thank you for being so open and sharing so much.
I think it's brave.
Your content touches many different types - which makes your subscribers more interesting if I don't say so myself!
I hope your health keeps improving and Sadie gets completely healthy too.
Alice, I appreciate you and your empathetic words so much.
thank you!! 1
My gosh, where has that 5 years gone???? Been with you from the start, on all your adventures, here's too the next 5. X
I KNOW. Crazy, isn't it? And thank you so much for being on this journey with me. It means so much Kim!! hugs, C
Same here. Since her day 1! 😊
Hi Carolyn! I think that it’s very courageous of you to share so much of your life with us. To be so open. Thank you! Very interesting!❤️👍
You have 5 years as a nomad, I've been 5 years here in Texas from NE and been watching you for 5 years. Yeap 5 is the magic number...let's keep doing this!
Carolyn, Thank you so much for sharing your story! God bless you for your honesty! As a Mom of two sons who were addicted to drugs and alcohol, I understand the struggles you endured. My oldest lost his battle, but praise God, my youngest is winning that horrible battle! My husband and I are weekenders RVing locally in the summer and snowbirds in Florida from January to April!! We love the life! At one time, I thought of doing what you did, but life happens and that dream was never my reality! I have to live it through full timers like you!! Be safe out there! The world has lost its collective mind! I’m a devout follower of Jesus Christ, so I know the end of the story......I pray you do too!
I have read alot of your subscriber's post and noticed that 5 year mark for sobriety for us is Blessed!
Amen!
Thank you God!
HI Gerri, actually, it's 5 years on the road. I've been sober 12 years, clean about 7 or 8. I thought I could handle Vicodin when I quit drinking :-(
That was very touching I truly enjoyed watching I don't always comment but Love watching.
Amazing to hear your life story! Enjoy your fearless approach to life. A true inspiration! ♥️
Again, you did it again! Shared just the right amount and added such cute "baby Carolyn" photos. Thanks for the recap sharing of you life. You've done such a service to many people by sharing honestly. You've lived an amazing life!
I discovered you when I discovered Bob. You were brand new. I have followed you off and on since the beginning! You are an incredible, honest lady Carolyn! It’s your honesty that I love most! I’ve also gone after people who have attacked you for simply being you! They hate seeing strong women thrive! You persevered Ms. Carolyn! ❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸🙂
Been watching you forever.... you are such an inspiration!!! Such a strong & independent woman!! Amazing story & travel experiences..... you are honest & shoot from the hip.... very refreshing!!! Stay safe & puppy kisses to Sadie ❤🐾❤🐾
Thank you so much Evelyn, I appreciate you!
Youve had a hell of a life, Carolyn. You should be proud and you are an inspiration. ATB
you, bob, cvk inspired us to go fulltime. you showed us that we could just be us. been at it for three years now. grounded this past year. we also learned so much from you guys. I just pray people don't destroy all the special places. Super video!
I'm so grateful for finding you hopefully someday I'll see ya on the road
thank you Jess.
Yes, I'm still here. Listening to all you have shared. And loving it. Thank you.
I need to write a much longer comment than this, but all I have time to say is this: happy anniversary. This video is probably one of your best and most important. I wish you great and rewarding adventure ahead.
Keep following your heart. Keep on living your independent, brave life lived on your own terms. Thank you for telling your story. Blessings. 🙏🤗❤
Amen sister, You and Bob are so right!!!
Thank You! 👍 finally found You Again!!!!! Thank You for sharing!!! I never saw these videos until now!!!!!
I’ve lived through your adventure for a very long time! 🙃😉 Wow I’ve enjoyed your journey, wisdom, courage, sights, & dogs for my years! Thanks 😊
I'm still here. Not all there. I'm so greatfull for people who dare to live outside the norm. Ty
The comment that the people who pay the least, complain the most just resonates. with me! So true!!
I'm still here, another great video, thank you
Pam. LOL. yay. you made it! Thank you!
Thanks Carolyn for being yourself and sharing your life with us.
👍 Nearly 5 years of AWESOME videos!!! I still remember your first video with Bob. As one of the few channels I follow, yours has been educational, encouraging and inspiring for me.
Safe & happy travels :)
Wow, thanks!
Thank you Carolyn, I learn so much from you. .You put into words so well , simular things I feel and think like you do . You communicate so well.
Wow, thank you so much. Yeah, I have the gift of gab, if I could just remember to slow down. LOL. That's a constant effort for me. :-p
@@CarolynsRVLife Just blame the Coffee....!!!😂😁
I love your Golden 💕
Thank you!! You are still inspiring and teaching, your story is phenomenal... Haven't watched YT for a while so I am now binge-watching you to catch up. THIS was just so 'YES'.
Your story will help so many find courage to choose healthy adventure in their lives.
What a wonderful anniversary video, going back to the beginnings. I was so happy when I saw the length, because I didn't get to do the things I wanted to do this Easter. So I snuggled up and had a wonderful time. I'm filled up to the brim with happiness.
Dana, awww. oh my gosh. Your comment made me so happy. I'm sorry you didn't get to do everything you wanted to do and glad I could help make your day a little brighter. Thank you! Hugs, C
Thanks for telling your story. And for telling women that we can do it all!
You've taught me to dream big, even if that big dream is a plan to live simply and free. Thank you 😁
Congratulations Carolyn!! I enjoy so much about your channel and this one has to be up there with the best of them. Thank you for sharing your life story, some of it very relatable to me and for being so open and honest. May your RV and story-telling journey continue for many years to come... and G'day from Australia.
Your story is very true because it is about life ...honesty...love..and being true to one's self...l love your story and have learned a lot and seen places that l will never see there rawness butthey beauty as well .....thank you for being you Carolyn truly amazing woman ....☆♡☆♡
Happy 5th anniversary! 🎉🎉
Amazing! Thank you Carolyn. You were one of my early inspirations and now I hear how similar our personal journeys have been, I feel grateful to have discovered your YT vlogs and will check out your blog and merch too. Keep on telling your ever evolving story. 💕
What a uplifting story. You are a inspiration of hope for so many wanting to take that first step.
I will never grow tired of hearing your story. Thank you Carolyn. ❤️
Carolyn, I found you through Bob and between the two of you it saved my life! My RV life is coming up on 3 years soon. What I’ve learned has changed the way I do life in general. I value your friendship and enjoy the time sharing life’s ups and downs. Thank you for your caring heart and inspiration 💓✌🏽
Happy 5 years Carolyn! You've taught this disabled leg amputee a TON about living on the road! I may just be a part timer but without you sharing your knowledge, I may not even have gotten this far. Thanks for all you do!
Well I found you tonight, can't wait to watch..ty
Thank you so much for sharing all the pictures from your life with us, and your story as well.
Carolyn, thanks for letting us “know” you even more! Great video! We love you and support you always!! Don’t pay any attention to haters. You are doing you, and that’s what we love!! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
You're the best! Thank you Judy!
I'm so glad you did this explanation. I only started really watching you about 2 years ago, so loved hearing more of your background story. And good that you explained about Bob Wells, because I still see people trying to link the two of you together. So glad you gave the background story about that, too! I've always enjoyed your channel, but this explains you even better! Hope you do some more "As I See It", soon!!
Oh my, Carolyn, I relate so much more to you now. I'm 50 now and finally learning to live my life for me. I gave up a soul sucking career last year and have been focusing on me. I've always been a risk taker and adventurer but never got to do that. our travel and adventure started 2 years ago and we have so many plans ahead of us. Thanks for sharing.❤
You're awesome Carolyn. Never stop sharing your journey with us!! ❤
I appreciate that Sandy. thank you
Thank you thank you,well said 🙏 very well said. This was inspiring 👏 for me to keep going for your dreams ✨ everyday it gets closer and closer.
I am so envious of your amazing CHUTZPAH and FLAMING OVARIES!!! If I wasn't so much older than you, I'd want to grow up to be just like you!!! Rock on!!
I really enjoy sharing your experiences (virtually), and it's refreshing to see such honesty and self reflection. Keep on keeping on. Hugs to Sadie!
My Granddaughter wanted to live the van life. I found you to see what that life would be like for her. Now I want to join her. What a fun life you have. Been watching you for 2 years.
Im glad you were able to turn your life around. Good luck & stay safe!!
I don’t remember how I came across your page but I was soon addicted. I went back to the beginning and watched every single video. It was like watching a series and I looked forward to the next episode. I can never live remotely due to health issues but I really appreciate you doing what you do so people like me can live vicariously. My favorite content is basic living like shopping, cooking running errands and going to unique stores and the history of the places you go!! Thanks again!
Just want to say how much your candor is appreciated! I'm on the 'edge' of the jump to RV life, very scared to do it alone, and your story today is helpful inspiration (as most of your stories are). Thanks so much for continuing the type of teaching you do, Carolyn! It has value beyond measure🌟💫💖🌅
Awesome! Thank you so much. I'm so glad this video also inspires you to chase your dream of RV Life. Congrats!
Happy Anniversary! I'm so glad you & Sadie found one another. Yeah, I am still here. Congratulations on your sobriety too! Your channel is massively better vecause itsvyou, not drugs & booze.
I watch all your videos all the way through and like them,comment often, and share them on my facebook page because just like you say, your story inspires and helps me and I appreciate you! Thank you, Carolyn! Fun to hear your story again with a few more details. XOXO
I loved it. I watch your beginnings over and over. I am so proud of you.
Love your story. A couple of days ago I went back and watched your first video with Capone❤️ Thank you for sharing with us.
You are so welcome! Thank you!
I do that too - go back and watch her first video.
Might do it again!
WOW, Carolyn! That’s one helluva’ back story. It’s great to know more about you, though.
Awsome story. Outstanding courageous lady...respect
Thank you for sharing first time I’ve heard your story and I’ve been following for at least a year. Your living my dream as I work to get into mine keep going we love you
What a wonderful story. So inspiring! Enjoyed listening to you, as always! Thank you for Sharing you! 💚🏵
Thank you LYnda, I appreciate that!
So glad I got to see this one!!! I've followed you for quite some time and enjoy all your adventures! 😊 Thanks for everything you do ❤️
thank you Judy. I appreciate you! hugs, C
Your bad year sounds like mine last year. Lost my job, 2 weeks later my fiancee left, my mother died, my dog died. Still fighting depression. Watching you being so fearless and strong inspires me.
I am so happy I found you today. Had I found this video a few months ago I would not have been actually listening. I am listening now and at the age of 51 I am so ready to get out of this hole.
I'm so happy for you being ready for change! Good luck.
Eres mi heroe! Y un dia voy a hacer lo que tu haces gracias por tus historias.
Stunning camp ground. Thanks for sharing your life.
Thanks for watching
Loved your backpacking videos.
thank you.. I want to get back out and do some more!!! Hopefully my health continues to improve and Sadie and I can bring you all on a hike with us soon.
Yes I'm still here 😊 you helped me with so many RV ideas. When we go out with our RV friends they always compliment and comment on how much we have that is needed and how organized we are. You are so right us women learn from stories and from taking to each other.
Thanks so much for sharing your story with us!!❤️
A very humble soul.....and love the down-to-earth vids! =)
Yes, I'm still here!🙂
Carolyn,
You ROCK!!! Thank you for doing what you do, I just bought a Class-C motor home and watching your RUclips videos has helped and inspired me in my retirement in being free. Thank you soooo much my new friend 👍🏼😎
Thank you for celebrating your anniversary by sharing your inspiring story. I remember the blanket video and how your technique helped me to camp off season. You have made your life better but have helped and enriched and encouraged many other lives as well. Stay well and enjoy the next five years!
I’m a silversmith, I know what you mean about some customers being cheap. You definitely have helped me make up my mind about becoming a Nomad. Love your channel! Keep it up!
Great to hear! Thank you so much! And yeah, I bet anyone who deals with the general public understands that!
@@CarolynsRVLife ❤️
Hello we hope all is well. we want to have this lifestyle. thanks for sharing stay safe Live and Light Sarah and Glenn

Happy Anniversary Carolyn.
