- We met Kali in San Diego and enjoyed being neighbors, as we caravan'd with her and some other vanKookz around San Diego for a bit. Kali is from New York and she is traveling the country living in her Ford Focus. Getting better gas milage than every body out there!

A well thought out set up.....creative & practical ....well done young lady!....Stay safe.
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 :)
Very cool I just bought a 2015 Ford Focus I’m going to pick it up on Saturday & I’m planning a road trip to Scotland & then to Europe this summer for a few weeks & my plan is to sleep in it so thanks for your video is great 👍 peace ✌️
GO get it!!!
Great tour and setup, like how simple it is. :)
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!
Very creative!
HELLO! Awesome set up. Have a Ford Focus myself and love your set up :) Was wondering the brand of your electric kettle you have. AWESOME IDEA :) Hope your travels are safe and fun :) Thanks for the tour!
Amazing! I admire your independent streak! very few girls these days are like you. all the best.
Hardcore!! Nice setup!
She really is a badass! Thanks for watching.
Great video ! I’ve been living out of my 2014 Prius for 4 months now. It’s the best decision I’ve made. I can’t find her Instagram, maybe she deleted it ?
Living the dream!!!! 🚘⛺️⛰🏜
This motivates me to give this life a try in my Mini Cooper S ! I’m 5’.3” so I think I can make it happen but will see . Ima give it a go in the summer .
A mini Cooper! AWESOME 👌
Sure hope you got to have something a bit bigger 😇 and happy travels to you 🙏🙏🙏
Looks great
Thanks!
I owe a focus & wanted 2 live in it. You inspired & shared ideas❤thx . Luv ur clip !
Is your instagram closed. Cause I can not find any information
Again today I tried to find this lady on her instagram and nothing !
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?
British here 🇬🇧 😃
We have a car camping community here, love seeing how others do it and compare notes 📝
Brilliant carry on car camping
Thanks bloke! Cheerio! Say hello to your lads for me!
You inspire me I think I'm going to be living and traveling inside Tesla Model 3.
Dang riding in style! Thanks for watching!
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.
Awesome!
Hello... Very inspiring... Would love to see how it goes now for you. I'm starting to do this. The windows shade trick is really cool! Bless you 😘
Have fun out there!
She is cute. Obviously has her system figured out well.
Yes, it was interesting to see how minimal you can really go and still be stoked on life.
Her IG doesn't work I tried to add her, but her set up is really good.
doing this next summer
Hell yeah! Enjoy you will never want to go back to the default world.
Does everyone take their seats out?
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.
Yeah the good ole days when the average American could afford to fill their tank up.
What do you do for ventilation seriously when it’s time to sleep and you shut all those doors and the engines off how can you breathe in something like that in warm weather yet alone hot
and how long is the bed?
Maybe 5’
can some one 6'3 sleep back there good ?
I'm not sure. It's a small car.
Don't you afraid that the bicycle makes someone notice the car at night?
You are amazing and beautiful
Im 6’5 🤣
Would be nice if she had a van.
if she wants it she will work up to it! She's a go getter.
This is crap....I had a ford focus and I lived in it for 3 mts ...it was the worst time of my life and don't recommend it to anyone......
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
@@Vankookz now I live in a very luxury 3 bed mobile home in a really beautiful area with too many amenities to say and iv never been happier although it did come at a whopping€100K which I had saved through work and an inheritance so living in my ford focus for me was a nightmare while waiting for said mobile to arrive...
Just to be Fair, Ford Focus is not idea car to live in, hell it even couldn't provide comfort for backseat passenger
@@martinmoore7920 So. What's your point??
@@cachino2080 It's not the best suited to it but it can be done and this setup is very comfortable. Traveling is best when the gas prices can be put in check. And that Focus gets very good mileage
