    Wow ! Just wow. The spirit this young woman has to just get on with it....this van life thing we love. She is awesome. Comfy bed. Less is more. I could go on...and I usually do ! Lol time on your hands when you live this way. We know that one. Time for just being. That's important. Taken too much stuff ? Everyone does. It's a learning process. It's not easy letting go of our 'normal' cluttered lives. Plus it's hard to know what you'll need until you've done it for a while. It's the same backpacking. I started wild camping in Europe a couple of years ago and at first I took so much it spoiled my walking. Now I'm down to under 3kg including a 300g sack. Happy travels everyone. John

      yes John, I know what you mean. I don't know how many people gave us the advice of "take less." We then would narrow it down to fit in a BackPack and thought that was enough too, but like you said, after carrying around stuff you MIGHT need, that you don't actually use is a burden. We had to cut our trip short in Indonesia because we moved out of a van and into our backpacks after Australia and New Zealand. We had entirely too much stuff! Always bring less! Like she said, bring less, then cut it down even more. Thanks so much for watching. Happy Travels :)

      Yes, when we met Kali, we loved the simplicity and her boldness for sending it from NY to California, by her self. We had to share as we thought she was pretty inspiring! Thanks for watching, I hope you found it useful!

    Do you have the gap from the trunk to your rear seats that makes it not level? Are you just using the foam to keep it level so it’s more comfortable to sleep?

    I’ve been in my car for the same time and I have the same car! I usually just tilt my driver seat back and I have step stool to put my feet on since I’m super short. In the colder months I’ve slept on my back seat with a cushion. But now since it’s been so long and I’m wanting to travel more to different states and sight see and hike… I do want to get a stable bed to get good sleep.but I’d like my bed to cover the entire back and make it higher up to put everything storage wise underneath except my guitar lol I don’t think that would work.

    @halaheleu7013 2 года назад

    With all the junk in the car its a huge danger . Not sure how you can see out of the car. When you get a flat tire will be a chore to change tire. Got a Ford focus myself 233k miles so far zero problems. Did sleep in it a few times . Not so good for that too small. Best thing about a focus is fuel economy 40 mpg highway or so . Sure was cheap to drive when gas was only 2.00 a gallon.
