Her rig may seem small but she has it all. Great job.

[@felixf4378]

I love this channel. It makes me think that I'm not crazy for wanting to live in a van. Everyone near me thinks I'm out of my mind.

[@blue_willow48]

your not crazy. It’s my goal. People look at me like I’m crazy when I say that’s what I want. Luckily my mom is supportive. She said if she was younger she would do it.

[@SuperTruthful]

be concerned with what you want not what others think. sometimes it's best to keep your plans and ideas to yourself.

[@simplyrise5217]

Do what suit you 👌

[@judylloyd7901]

@@blue_willow48 You're* not crazy 😊👍

[@paulmood308]

Your not crazy, you’re adventurous.

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

She says she had to do what she could like she's embarrassed.. This lady did a phenomenal job at making sure she addressed all her needs! I am completely impressed!

[@jacquelinesmith2966]

I love seeing small vans that are built out without carpentry skills. Really inspiring.

[@SomeTypicalTourist]

My mother helped me a lot with my transit connect. It's a Van I will cherish and never get rid of

[@Sten775]

Live in Nederland, have a house, children, pets, not plans in doing van live but here I am watching these ppl and enjoying it😂

[@Bronte55]

I hear you. I have a condo that I enjoy, and I am not fond of traveling, but I enjoy watching these videos.

[@lalarebelse5985]

Het verschil met Nederland en Amerika is dat we hier een inschrijving moeten hebben, dus eigenlijk een huis dus voor ons is het lastiger dan in amerika.

[@AlvinUselton]

So cool just to see people who seem happy 😊

[@pdq5465]

I totally agree with you. She seems happy & proud.

[@thanatoskatakrima5864]

Just goes to show how little we actually need to survive and be happy 😊 Not to mention that our ancestors survived with way less! We have become so spoiled we have failed to enjoy life with less because we have bought into the mindset that more is better!

[@debibarrington4697]

Wow we can learn a lot from the smart lady

[@donteatthefoxgloves377]

Nothing more joyful than getting to see people living their authentic lives. What a blessing! 🌿🌿🌿

[@mikestone9129]

What a smile and attitude. You can tell just by looking at her that she's loving life.

[@michellelester243]

Lady bugout has made herself a fantastic van home, lots of great ideas for making the most of your space. Thanks again Bob!

[@martymuniz4426]

Beautiful story...♥️♥️

[@beckyelliott2871]

Where can I get a foot pump for my sink or shower? What other places can I get some unique ideas for the van I want? I have my eye set on a MEDIUM SIZE FORD TRANSIT VAN WITH MEDIUM HEIGHT ROOF. I plan on a simple rustic cabin style interior for camping purposes.. Thanks -

[@jeffmusgrave3691]

She is a wonderful, authentic person. Great interview.

[@Red-bf8jd]

Good for you!!! Hope the best for you!!! Good luck!! Amazing.

I am all about looking for the synchronicities the universe presents. The story about the lady bug warms my heart. ❤

[@Bronte55]

I love the ladybug story! Awesome!

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

At 57, a single female, I've been secretly dreaming about becoming a nomad for quite some time. Both my sons are grown and live 100 plus miles away from me. My mom was here in the same town until she recently lost her battle with cancer. Although I have a wonderful living situation in a subsidized senior complex, the town is very rural. Medical services, other than standard, nurse practitioner issues, require at least 100 miles journey. There's only one market and it's very expensive. Then there's more positives... I live in this rural town on the shores of a gorgeous lake... Negatives. It snows. It snows a lot in the winter. In fact we had snow just two weekends ago. Not feets worth, but still. It highest temperature in the summer is an average of mid to upper 90s with an occasional rise to low 100s. I just think it makes more sense for me to go mobile so I can be nearer my children, nearer medical services, and I can always travel back here when the weather is ideal. Camp on the Lakeshore.... Yep. It's doable.

[@davidleigh443]

Dee is an awesome person. Her channel is wonderful too. She gives lots of practical advice. I would encourage everyone to check it out.

Great videography Bob. The crisp, clear, video with close-ups is outstanding. I'm very proud of you. Also Dee is a trooper. A tenacious life warrior. I tried Nomad for two weeks in 2005, after Katrina. Her van would have made it easier.

[@talkingcatsproductions1140]

This is so cute 🐞🐞🐞

I thought I was going crazy bc I was watching Ford Connect builds yesterday and I saw her on GLOW 😁

[@donwyates]

Dee has done an admiral job on her build. Very positive vibe, and smiles for miles! Interesting woman.

Enjoyed this interview and buildout. I’m in similar situation. Key take away “Conscious decision about life”.

This lady is so freaking cool. 😎 She should really be so proud of herself, following her own intuition and using her own ingenuity.

[@fabianprioux1136]

Funny to see Dee in this video 2 years ago as i follow her since few years and her van had many modifications since and she is the most incredible, adorable , smart , brave , funny , beautiful , inteligent woman in the RV world community and i admire her minimalisme so much to be able to do it in such a small space , living almost full time. I am minimalist as well but could not make it in a small space like this Ford ( I am 6,5 feet tall as wel ) Awesome time with you guys !!! Thank you !!!

[@lcinflorida8728]

I love how she had the shower and usb faucet set up! I've never seen that before! I am going to save this video in my favorites so I can come back and see it when I get my van one day!

[@jondonahue7163]

I also have a Transit Connect, and they are wonderful. So easy to drive, able to go off-road almost anywhere, and stealthy in the cities, just another little delivery van. Thanks for this video... her layout is excellent, and I will copy that back-door shower rig. My only caveat would be that it is too small for two people. But perfect for one!

[@markymark5104]

I can completely relate to this lady. I traveled with work my whole life. You do grow apart from friends and some family. You do find yourself alone later years. There’s freedom in loneliness.
