i lost it all from drugs, i lived in my car for a year which was not that hard for me it was a big oldsmobile, and thats what got me on the road to recovery and i have been sober 21 yrs dec 30, 2023
Tip regarding showers at truck stops: don’t be shy to ask truck drivers if they have a spare shower to give you. I drove for 7 years and always had so many that I never used them all. (they get a free shower with each fuel purchase)
@@ItsgivinLivvy the worst thing is that they say they don’t have any showers but no worries just wait to ask the next one! Hang out by the truck driver entrance!
Great video!!!! From what you have shared, you have gone through a lot. But yet, you’ve got your sobriety and you always make the best of a bad situation. I am from a family of alcoholics that never tried to get sober. So I applaud you. And, as a person that has survived trauma myself, I know how hard it is to keep a positive attitude. You have my deepest admiration and respect.
@@denisecornille6265 thank you! I don’t attend meetings at this point because I feel very solid in my sobriety and I don’t always have the time for more commitments but it is good to know that they’re out there in case I feel I need them! I remember attending meetings during the pandemic via zoom and I liked doing it that way.
Started watching and subbed right away! After seeing you were a recovering alcoholic, I want to go back and see all your videos! I too finally got sober and LOVE LIFE!!👍🏼❤️
Type of stuff I like to see. You genuinely seem happy. Which I can't say for most people with a house and 500k debt on their head. People need to start realizing life is about bring happy and living on YOUR terms.
I'm a trucker and shower at Love's exclusively. Take your time. I've been doing this over thirty years and no one has ever tried to chase me out. I usually take an hour or so. I also van dwell whenever I get the chance. Love the channel!
Not living in car. At one of my sons. Waiting a year for the house authority...down to #2 from 59. It's tough out there now when you're by yourself! Keep positive!!

You made your van seems so homey that people watching can feel that homey feeling your video makes you seem so content and cozy thru the storm . Good job on it all
Just found your channel tonight. So glad all was good. I drove truck for 14 years. I use to give people my free showers when I didn’t need them. Truckers get free showers when they get 50 gal. Of fuel and don’t always have time to get a shower at that time so they can build up. I was picked up in a tornado and dropped in Oklahoma 2009 in the truck. Thankfully was up right but did mess up my knees. I ended up having to retire and now can’t drive in bad storms I park so glad you parked. I’ve seen to many keep driving and wreck. I’ve had both knees replaced now but almost 70 yrs old now. But still love to travel, we are working on a mini bus so we can travel. Stay safe out there.
I grew up around storms and tornados in the midwest. I have always LOVED storms, even though they are dangerous. I always feel safer during a storm for some reason. I've had to hide in basements, closets, and bathrooms, but there is something relieving to me about the storms.
You have such a great disposition! Something simple like putting away clean laundry, cooking & a good storm is delightful! Thanks for sharing with us your life.
Why do alcoholics need to announce their sobriety? I'm not one, but damn, my private life is private! I support yall, but what's up with the yelling?! Not my business, not anyone else's business.
... It's really great that you are watching Ryan Hall y'all for your weather. He's good 😊 I lived in my car for 2 years. I feel you. ❤ much love to you 💗 Hoping you stay warm, dry, and safe this winter ❄️
Did you know Ryan hall used to do completely different RUclips content? He used to own a vape shop and his whole Schtick was reviewing vape stuff and eventually he nuked all that content
@@TheCookieDoeDeerI didn’t know that at all.. I always look if Reed Timmer is anywhere nearby. He was in my area last year and lord behold there was a tornado
Im a van lifer. Im living like you. But make contact with people inside so they can call give you a call. But i love that sound. Storm chaser. On my bucket list.😊
I moved out from and away from my fiance, who turned out to be an abusive alcoholic. If you ever need to talk, I am here. I have been out for four years this April. I had a 2 yr order of protection. I would never go back. Will be praying for your safe travels.
Hi Hannah, you wouldn't be near Pennsylvania would you? My mom and I have been going through years with an abusive man we are stuck with here due to the roof over our head. I gotta find Pennsylvania friends who have apartments/etc connections because we don't wanna go in a shelter of course. We also have a lot of stuff so they can't have that there as well. We need friends who are landlords or know them and those people can help disabled people get in and on our feet. :)
I don't know if you've heard this before, but if you are under a tornado watch/warning and it starts to hail, run for shelter. I've been through four small tornadoes and it always hails right before they come.
@@user-si8vt5gv1hWhen the sky turns green and the wind stops I get nervous. I have been near tornadoes a few streets over but never been in one. I agree, it may hail, be windy, but it may also be still.
A green sky with no wind scares the heck out of me. I’ve lived in Texas my whole life and been in two tornadoes and one hellacious hail storm that totaled three of our cars and smashed all of the windows on the front of my house so, if it starts to hail, I would definitely go inside.

Hey Rowan! Gosh, that laundry tip really helped me out! I was racking my brain trying to figure out a way to keep my clothes organized after laundry day. Something so simple, yet a relief. We all need each other. 💜
I really enjoyed following along on your experience sheltering from the storm in your van. It was nice to see how cozily you have your interior arranged. The stew you cooked up looked delicious - it's always comforting to have a hot meal during inclement weather. I appreciated that you kept us updated on the storm conditions while sharing your preps. It's clear you took the threat seriously but also maintained a calm and casual demeanor. Thanks for documenting your adventure and stay safe out there!
I lived in a van for several years and you can usually get a day pass at a gym for less than the Loves shower fee. Plus you get full access to pool, sauna, gym, TV lounge, etc.
I don't know why but I love it when I watch youtubers who make delicious meals and then "share" a bite with us watchers. It's just delightful. I can't go anywhere at the moment in my travel trailer but spending time in it just in my driveway is such fun. I know I'm weird, but I cannot wait to get out on the road. Be safe!
During a storm you should always park near a building to protect yourself, or near some other RVs. Have lived in Fla most of my life. So glad I just found you. Blessings to you!!
Rowan I don’t know your story I’ve just come across you but I’ve been reading the comments! Just want to say Rowan you are obviously on the right road and so brave takes guts to turn your life around it really does so big hugs Rowan upwards and onwards xx
Yes! I just found it too and subscribed. Reading the comments made me so happy because no one is judging her and I think that's even more amazing. We almost go through struggles in life and it's so important to have compassion and understanding 🙏
Being freshly showered with a full tummy and just chilling in my van during a FL storm sounds like heaven to me, honestly. The bipolar weather was one of my favorites things about living in FL lol
Oh my gosh! You so brave to be wading out the storm in your van/car. As for the many flashes of lightning and thunder I would be scared as I don't like the thunder and lightning but I admire your bravery. Thank God there were no tornadoes near where you were and you were safe. 🙏🏾
You handled that scary storm like a champ! I know I would have been really nervous. Your personality is so sweet and serene, I just had to subscribe to support you and follow your travels.🍃💐🍃
@diane9247 great comment! I felt the same but also am inspired too. The idea of being safe and sheltered in our van while the weather shows us her wild side is exhilarating! In my previous life it was all about staying safe and watching out for my team now I just want to keep living and experience the outside🫶🏼
That storm looks great ! I love the wind, especially warm wind. Don't want it to be a hurricane, just a nice windy event. I know I'm wierd. I was in a storm as a kid that I could lean into the wind and not fall over. Awesome!
This storm Ripped through our part of Georgia and it was terrifying. I was on edge the whole time because we kept getting tornado warnings. The wind was horrific. Glad you made it through.
What part of Georgia are you from? I am living in Newnan (southwest of Atlanta! We have had one strong storm since we have been living here...14 years!
I’ll be that one person to say it, but be careful with how close the candle is to your plastic plant. I’m not trying to be a weirdo mom type but I would imagine fire risk is scary in a van
@@LouraineWagner-xq8ynWow! I lived not far from Newnan for 10 years, in Douglasville, and we got bad storms all the time. One time I had 9 pine trees fall. I had sirens go off for tornados a few times and the Hurricane Irma storms had 75 - 80 mph winds.
Your van is super cute and cozy looking!! Your dinner looked super yummy! And you are adorable. ❤😊 This was a suoer chill video- watching the storm with you. Always loved a good storm. Glad you stayed safe 💙💙
Hi Rowan, This is my first time seeing your video. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. It sounds like you have had some ups and downs in your life, and are making great progress moving in a possitive direction. Prayers and possitive attitude that you can do anything. Just keep strong and enjoy the storms, they fascinate me.😊
That looks like a really cozy setup! I am a field tech doing various kinds of tech repairs on the road, and I have to say that most Love's and TA (Travel Centers of America) have excellent showers, much like the one you showed. Some of them are just absolutely incredible, and I have to admit that after a particularly long day in the field, I have certainly gotten my 'washing up' part out of the way, and then just spent like 30 minutes just letting the hot water take my aches away. I've never had anyone mad at me about a time limit. Didn't even know there was one! :) I take my camp gear with me and sometimes I'll stay overnights at a KOA for fun, but most of the time I just overnight in the truck at a Love's or something. Everything you need!
Always your videos are thrilling... I dont want to get disturbed by others while watching your video..... Your free style talking and narrating is very much liking.... From Bangalore, India
My husband used to be a trucker and we constantly went OTR with him months at a time, me and the two kids.... i found ur video and found myself missing my truck home and the loves we constantly showered at and did laundry at 😭😭😭 uggg
I love these types of video....your little set-up looks so relaxing and serene Makes weathering out the storm actually kind of fun. Glad you were safe.
I love hiding at the loves truck stops when I’m traveling….there’s cameras on every truck….I feel safe even with the noise, it’s soothing ..they have bathrooms and coffee,gas and snacks,and it’s warm,oh and postcards and souvenirs .👀🇺🇸
A tip for the future, when there is a tornado watch and the sky gets dark and it is windy it's best to be in a strong structure. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado is identified on radar or on the ground. Although not likely, you never know if your location will be the unlucky place of the first touch down. Keep an eye on the sky as well as news reports. Your home is very cozy. I think I will try making a shell jar too!
Correct. The Warning is saying it's one on the Ground & a Watch is saying that there is a possibility of one. Either way. I always stay ready as if it was one in front of me. Where I Reside, they have them each time it Storms. Talk about Anxiety! 😬😔🤦
I was going to give another tip I noticed before tornadoes, and I’m not sure it happens all the time, but in the few I’ve seen, the tornado comes with nearly constant lightning and usually hail. If you were to fall asleep in your truck, you would surely be awakened by both. Also, keep a good bicycle helmet handy with you, it will protect your head in a tornado. I also carry an old bike with me and keep it in good working order, just in case my truck becomes disabled, or the roads are impassable. They even sell ones that fold up and are part hybrid. It will fit under your bed.
Thank you for making this video, thank you for your truth laughter and for being you. You gave me a perspective that is priceless and means a lot on this planet.
This is my first view of your channel and I subscribed. I loved what you’ve shown and love your place. Looking forward to exploring the rest of your videos and seeing new ones as they come. Wishing you safety, peace and joy! 💜
Hi Rowan, good to see you again! Sounds like a good and cozy day in the storm. Shower, laundry and stew! You are great at figuring out different dishes of food. Thanks for your inspiration. Stay safe! 💜
Thank you Cathy! 💖 It actually turned out to be a really nice day! Cozy and relaxing with just the right amount of excitement lol. I’m glad there were no tornadoes where I was!
First time viewer, but I recognized that you were in my town, Auburndale atLove’s. I’m glad you didn’t have to experience a really scary tornado warning. This was a relatively mild storm for us, but it could’ve been so much worse. Glad you rode out the storm in safety! I look firard to following your journey. Stay safe!
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel. I am 78 years old and have wanted to live in my van since watching others my age getting out there and doing it. Look forward to seeing your adventures. God bless you and I pray you know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. He will protect you while you are on the road.❤❤❤
Your Channel just popped up & I'm glad it did, as you seem like such a Sweet, kind & fun Human! 😆 Your laugh & positive energy are very much infectious, keep that shit up, Girl. Now that I'm a newbie Subscriber I'll have to scroll thru your vids to get your whole "living in your car" story. 😉 Love the cozy decorating btw. God Bless, be SAFE & keep being YOU! 🤗💛
Thanks for the offer. It looks good.😊 You look very cozy, and thanks for inviting us over for supper. God bless and keep safe. That rain sounds inviting. You should have opened a tin of lentils, or veg and put init it would heighten the taste. P.S. I just LOVE the rain.
Wow! You are an impressive woman! I don't know what difficulties you've dealt with but you seem to be a resilient survivor with genuine spititual strenth. Beautiful both inside and outside. If yu found happiness alone good for you. If your lonely I'm sure there are many folks who would love to be your soul partner. God bless you.
My god that is really thoughtful!! Over here in Australia it's nearly impossible to get a shower, I lived in my car with my 4 children and two friends for 2 months and we found one shower at Lismore NSW but there was nothing more then that most country towns looked empty. You have a good system that will provide for everyone like that. Good luck with your journey stay strong be happy were possible
Everytime I have free time or I feel depressed I come to watch this video and for some reason I just enjoyed watchin this .. u cooking and waiting fr the storm while in van 🚐..
This is the 2nd video of yours that I have watched tonight. The 1st was at the marina with Ruby. I find your laugh infectious and friendly. Your smile and personality are so loving and caring. I am a 55 year old single mother of 3 adult children with families of their own. I was born and raised here in Florida. I've seen some of the most devastating hurricanes ever! But I love the storms! I don't like the destruction and aftermath. But the storm itself is calming and beautiful. I wish you the best of luck in your travels and on your beautiful journey. Please keep your doors locked at ALL times and be aware of your surroundings! I love how you have set up your car into such a homey living place! I love how you cook and I admire your strength. Take care and God bless you!❤🙏💫 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey with us!💕
I’m a new subscriber and really enjoyed this video - Im 61 and probably moving into a van this year I cannot afford my rent it’s sad but finding this channel will help me Thank you
WOW !! I have been thinking of doing something like you. But how would one even begin ? I have a 2020 Tacoma. But I have two dogs and I just feel like moving on, so to speak. Just something is getting on my nerves, but I'm such a scaredy-cat. I don't know, just thinking.
Your home is lovely with the decor, the lighting and plants and just everything! It's so pretty and clean looking I love the coziness there in the storm 🥰 I enjoy hearing wind and rain as long as I'm warm and dry inside, lol. Your attention to detail is amazing! I thought it couldn't get better in there but then I saw the French door on your window cover. Holy cow - $19+ for a shower! Yes, it would be worth it to me, too. Especially when I need to wash my hair. Giving you a Thumbs Up and a subscribe! ❤ 👍
I have really enjoyed your video!I lived in a RV for about 3 years and used to love hearing rain on the roof! Thanks for your video I am going to follow you and live my adventures through you! God bless and stay safe!!
Rowan I'm glad you had a safe place during the storm. We get thunderstorms and tornadoes here in Saskatchewan Canada, and that can be scary. I always enjoy seeing your decorative touches...I love the seashell jar and the lantern. Your beef stew sounded yummy!
Hi, just caught your channel. It was a fun day. Kind of exciting, but I love the rain. Your beef stew looked great. I will see you next time… thanks, I enjoyed spending time with you….see you next time…. I’m like a 76 year old grandmother, but I always wanted to travel, can’t do it now, but go a lot of different places with people on here..God Bless and stay safe…..🙋🏻♀️🌞😊

Rowan I don’t know your story I’ve just come across you but I’ve been reading the comments! Just want to say Rowan you are obviously on the right road and so brave takes guts to turn your life around it really does so big hugs Rowan upwards and onwards xx
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! 🤗
Awwww thanks Rowan xx
Yes! I just found it too and subscribed.
Reading the comments made me so happy because no one is judging her and I think that's even more amazing. We almost go through struggles in life and it's so important to have compassion and understanding 🙏
Being freshly showered with a full tummy and just chilling in my van during a FL storm sounds like heaven to me, honestly. The bipolar weather was one of my favorites things about living in FL lol
Oh my gosh! You so brave to be wading out the storm in your van/car. As for the many flashes of lightning and thunder I would be scared as I don't like the thunder and lightning but I admire your bravery. Thank God there were no tornadoes near where you were and you were safe. 🙏🏾
Thank you! 🙏
I love Ryan Hall also, he is great. easy to watch/listen to and he is always right.
Ryan Hall is awesome! And he was spot on with his reporting.
I love your spirit this was my first time seeing your video, Many prayers for you and your journey. Stay safe and strong. ❤
Thank you! 🙏 Stay strong and safe as well!
I'm in bed watching this blog, In Wales UK. And I'm loveing the Rain sound's as if it's on my Window.
I can’t imagine how amazing must be to sleep in the rain in such cozy space ❤ ALL THE BEST ALWAYS!
What an esthetically pleasing cozy comfy space. You are a talented decorater and very resourseful
You handled that scary storm like a champ! I know I would have been really nervous. Your personality is so sweet and serene, I just had to subscribe to support you and follow your travels.🍃💐🍃
@diane9247 great comment! I felt the same but also am inspired too. The idea of being safe and sheltered in our van while the weather shows us her wild side is exhilarating! In my previous life it was all about staying safe and watching out for my team now I just want to keep living and experience the outside🫶🏼
That storm looks great ! I love the wind, especially warm wind. Don't want it to be a hurricane, just a nice windy event. I know I'm wierd. I was in a storm as a kid that I could lean into the wind and not fall over. Awesome!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! 🤗
Love you. I stumbled across your channel but ended up staying because your whole persona is calm and very soothing. Thank you so much!
Welcome to the channel! 🤗
This storm Ripped through our part of Georgia and it was terrifying. I was on edge the whole time because we kept getting tornado warnings. The wind was horrific. Glad you made it through.
I’m glad you made it through as well!
What part of Georgia are you from? I am living in Newnan (southwest of Atlanta! We have had one strong storm since we have been living here...14 years!
@@LouraineWagner-xq8yn I live in the Very South lol Near Valdosta which is about 30 miles from Florida. Nashville Ga.
I’ll be that one person to say it, but be careful with how close the candle is to your plastic plant. I’m not trying to be a weirdo mom type but I would imagine fire risk is scary in a van
@@LouraineWagner-xq8ynWow! I lived not far from Newnan for 10 years, in Douglasville, and we got bad storms all the time. One time I had 9 pine trees fall. I had sirens go off for tornados a few times and the Hurricane Irma storms had 75 - 80 mph winds.
HI IM ANNE FROM JERSEY YOUR AWAYS WELCOME FOR A SHOWER AND A MEAL. PEACE BE SAFE
Your van is super cute and cozy looking!!
Your dinner looked super yummy!
And you are adorable. ❤😊
This was a suoer chill video- watching the storm with you. Always loved a good storm.
Glad you stayed safe
💙💙
That’s a really smart way to spend the day, regroup and not get caught being on the highway in a terrible storm!!! 😊
Hi Rowan, This is my first time seeing your video. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. It sounds like you have had some ups and downs in your life, and are making great progress moving in a possitive direction. Prayers and possitive attitude that you can do anything. Just keep strong and enjoy the storms, they fascinate me.😊
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! 🤗
New sub here. That was scary. The other RV shows say face into the wind. Wirked for them.
That looks like a really cozy setup! I am a field tech doing various kinds of tech repairs on the road, and I have to say that most Love's and TA (Travel Centers of America) have excellent showers, much like the one you showed. Some of them are just absolutely incredible, and I have to admit that after a particularly long day in the field, I have certainly gotten my 'washing up' part out of the way, and then just spent like 30 minutes just letting the hot water take my aches away. I've never had anyone mad at me about a time limit. Didn't even know there was one! :)
I take my camp gear with me and sometimes I'll stay overnights at a KOA for fun, but most of the time I just overnight in the truck at a Love's or something. Everything you need!
Always your videos are thrilling... I dont want to get disturbed by others while watching your video..... Your free style talking and narrating is very much liking.... From Bangalore, India
I'm glad the storm wasn't to bad. I love your set up looks nice and comforting and homey even. Safe travels.
We are all here for you, as you wait out the storm. (Prayers) btw you look so beautiful and refreshed after your shower 😊
Thank you! 🙏
My husband used to be a trucker and we constantly went OTR with him months at a time, me and the two kids.... i found ur video and found myself missing my truck home and the loves we constantly showered at and did laundry at 😭😭😭 uggg
I love these types of video....your little set-up looks so relaxing and serene Makes weathering out the storm actually kind of fun. Glad you were safe.
Hey girl…I just wanted to tell you that I will be praying for you as you travel. You are a sweet person & I wish you all the best.
I literally have never seen anything like this before. I found it fascinating
I love hiding at the loves truck stops when I’m traveling….there’s cameras on every truck….I feel safe even with the noise, it’s soothing ..they have bathrooms and coffee,gas and snacks,and it’s warm,oh and postcards and souvenirs .👀🇺🇸
Love’s is great! Nice people, clean facilities and I was impressed by all the healthier food options they had.
A tip for the future, when there is a tornado watch and the sky gets dark and it is windy it's best to be in a strong structure. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado is identified on radar or on the ground. Although not likely, you never know if your location will be the unlucky place of the first touch down. Keep an eye on the sky as well as news reports. Your home is very cozy. I think I will try making a shell jar too!
Correct. The Warning is saying it's one on the Ground & a Watch is saying that there is a possibility of one. Either way. I always stay ready as if it was one in front of me. Where I Reside, they have them each time it Storms. Talk about Anxiety! 😬😔🤦
What kind of vehicle are you living in?
She reiterated this in the video so no need to teach her about that.
I was going to give another tip I noticed before tornadoes, and I’m not sure it happens all the time, but in the few I’ve seen, the tornado comes with nearly constant lightning and usually hail. If you were to fall asleep in your truck, you would surely be awakened by both. Also, keep a good bicycle helmet handy with you, it will protect your head in a tornado. I also carry an old bike with me and keep it in good working order, just in case my truck becomes disabled, or the roads are impassable. They even sell ones that fold up and are part hybrid. It will fit under your bed.
The air turns green before a tornado hits.
That car looks so safe and cozy. There is something about being in a car during heavy rain and being dry. Great channel, now subscribed.
Thank you for making this video, thank you for your truth laughter and for being you. You gave me a perspective that is priceless and means a lot on this planet.
🙏 thank you as well! I appreciate the kind words a lot!
This is my first view of your channel and I subscribed. I loved what you’ve shown and love your place. Looking forward to exploring the rest of your videos and seeing new ones as they come.
Wishing you safety, peace and joy! 💜
Imo, that looks like the coziest wack day. Your car looks incredibly comfortable and all the craziness going on just outside. Im glad your safe. :)
My goodness, she has a beautiful setup. Looks so comfortable as well as beautiful
Want to set up something similar, I just have to get a vehicle
I love Loves truck stops.
My first time watching your video. You have a great talking voice. Love the sound of the rain. Take Care.....Subscribed....
Your van decor is adorable
You're car is so cozy! What a beautiful space you have created. I love the seashell jar. You've inspired me to make stew today!
Thank you! I kept gathering shells and I finally figured out what to do with them lol for now. Enjoy your stew!
Hi Rowan, good to see you again! Sounds like a good and cozy day in the storm. Shower, laundry and stew! You are great at figuring out different dishes of food. Thanks for your inspiration. Stay safe! 💜
Thank you Cathy! 💖 It actually turned out to be a really nice day! Cozy and relaxing with just the right amount of excitement lol. I’m glad there were no tornadoes where I was!
Nothing like a good old Florida storm, Ryan does excellent storm coverage.
Wow! You’re a brave lady! Glad you’re ok!
This was such a calming video... And you come across as a very authentic, genuinely good person. It was like finding a long-lost friend. ❤❤❤
Yes first timer...LOL You are BRAVE!!! I did enjoy your video and I love your outlook on everything!!!
Hi! Welcome to the channel! 🤗
First time viewer, but I recognized that you were in my town, Auburndale atLove’s. I’m glad you didn’t have to experience a really scary tornado warning. This was a relatively mild storm for us, but it could’ve been so much worse. Glad you rode out the storm in safety! I look firard to following your journey. Stay safe!
Stay safe good luck
Hi. I'm Debbie. We are moving to Davenport in March. Can you please tell me what the area is like?
Thank you! Welcome to the channel 🤗
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel. I am 78 years old and have wanted to live in my van since watching others my age getting out there and doing it. Look forward to seeing your adventures. God bless you and I pray you know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. He will protect you while you are on the road.❤❤❤
God bless! Welcome 🤗
Those storms can be scary. I am glad you stayed close to shelter just in case. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
I wa a born in NYC. As a Floridian for over 45 years now I applaud you. You are brave! Glad you stayed safe. God be with you
Your Channel just popped up & I'm glad it did, as you seem like such a Sweet, kind & fun Human! 😆 Your laugh & positive energy are very much infectious, keep that shit up, Girl. Now that I'm a newbie Subscriber I'll have to scroll thru your vids to get your whole "living in your car" story. 😉 Love the cozy decorating btw. God Bless, be SAFE & keep being YOU! 🤗💛
OMG that still looked awesome!!!!!! You looked so cozy riding out that storm, great job!
Thanks for the offer. It looks good.😊 You look very cozy, and thanks for inviting us over for supper. God bless and keep safe. That rain sounds inviting. You should have opened a tin of lentils, or veg and put init it would heighten the taste. P.S. I just LOVE the rain.
Last scene with the candle so peaceful after the storm ❤
🙏💖
Wow! You are an impressive woman!
I don't know what difficulties you've dealt with but you seem to be a resilient survivor with genuine spititual strenth. Beautiful both inside and outside. If yu found happiness alone good for you. If your lonely I'm sure there are many folks who would love to be your soul partner. God bless you.
Thank you for supporting Loves !! My sil and daughter work for corporate.. I love watching you!! ❤
My god that is really thoughtful!! Over here in Australia it's nearly impossible to get a shower, I lived in my car with my 4 children and two friends for 2 months and we found one shower at Lismore NSW but there was nothing more then that most country towns looked empty. You have a good system that will provide for everyone like that. Good luck with your journey stay strong be happy were possible
Thank you! Welcome to the channel 🤗 and stay safe as well!
@@justrowan thank you
Gyms have showers.
@@jilllangman9343 it’s a lot of money and extremely difficult to join here
@@jilllangman9343 people aren't allowed in Gyms unless they have a member ship and your not allowed a member ship if you don't have an address.
Ryan Hall Y'all rocks! That is definitely who I'd be tuned into if I had to worry about tornadoes and severe weather
Everytime I have free time or I feel depressed I come to watch this video and for some reason I just enjoyed watchin this .. u cooking and waiting fr the storm while in van 🚐..
This is the 2nd video of yours that I have watched tonight. The 1st was at the marina with Ruby. I find your laugh infectious and friendly. Your smile and personality are so loving and caring. I am a 55 year old single mother of 3 adult children with families of their own. I was born and raised here in Florida. I've seen some of the most devastating hurricanes ever! But I love the storms! I don't like the destruction and aftermath. But the storm itself is calming and beautiful. I wish you the best of luck in your travels and on your beautiful journey. Please keep your doors locked at ALL times and be aware of your surroundings!
I love how you have set up your car into such a homey living place! I love how you cook and I admire your strength. Take care and God bless you!❤🙏💫
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey with us!💕
I’m a new subscriber and really enjoyed this video - Im 61 and probably moving into a van this year I cannot afford my rent it’s sad but finding this channel will help me Thank you
WOW !! I have been thinking of doing something like you. But how would one even begin ? I have a 2020 Tacoma. But I have two dogs and I just feel like moving on, so to speak. Just something is getting on my nerves, but I'm such a scaredy-cat. I don't know, just thinking.
Your home is lovely with the decor, the lighting and plants and just everything! It's so pretty and clean looking I love the coziness there in the storm 🥰 I enjoy hearing wind and rain as long as I'm warm and dry inside, lol. Your attention to detail is amazing! I thought it couldn't get better in there but then I saw the French door on your window cover. Holy cow - $19+ for a shower! Yes, it would be worth it to me, too. Especially when I need to wash my hair. Giving you a Thumbs Up and a subscribe! ❤ 👍
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel 🤗
I have really enjoyed your video!I lived in a RV for about 3 years and used to love hearing rain on the roof! Thanks for your video I am going to follow you and live my adventures through you! God bless and stay safe!!
Rowan I'm glad you had a safe place during the storm. We get thunderstorms and tornadoes here in Saskatchewan Canada, and that can be scary. I always enjoy seeing your decorative touches...I love the seashell jar and the lantern. Your beef stew sounded yummy!
Thank you! 😊
Great vlog thanks. Nice stew, my kind of cooking! That's for sharing us your life! ❤❤❤
So love watching you and Rubes doing your thing...and thanks for sharing
I'm so glad you made it through the storm safely. I live in Arkansas and believe me know all about the tornadoes.
Glad the storm wasn't too bad . Enjoy the cooler weather.
Glad you made it through the storm..please Stay SAFE and may you be BLESSED with STABLE housing sooner than later❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
