Imagine having had a van instead of living on campus in a dorm room, or apartment in college? Huge cost savings, and you can go anywhere because you're mobile.

[@rosm6621]

I admire how she knows what she likes and goes for it. So many of us just sit around dreaming. She is living!

[@texedwards3039]

nice van!

[@empressspace8110]

I agree anytime I tell people I want to do this they would say I would never willingly live homeless. I don't see this as homeless I see it as freedom. Your home can go where ever

[@bruisterlenoir6474]

In my humble, but most accurate, opinion you're the best, brother. Your excellence of presentation enables us to engage with the story. There is nothing distracting or annoying or disappointing in the entire show so we are allowed to completely absorb the beauty and truth you offer us. I am always excited when I see that you have posted again. Thank you for your most enjoyable hard work.

[@TheSteveAS]

Bruister LeNoir ditto!

[@realeyesrealisereallies8607]

This is the life right here, no rat race, no stress, exploring nature, everyday is a new adventure, this 9-5 lifestyle is a strangle hold on the human psyche.

[@tikilee7172]

That was such a fun interview. Her enthusiasm is pure joy. I'm a 63 and full time with nomad with the same level of exuberance. Anyone can do this. Tiki🚎💨💨💨

[@heidilarsen8982]

Hey Dylan, I'd love for you to ask each person how they support themselves. Doesn't have to take up much time, can be really quick. I'd just really like to hear the variety of answers.

[@stevewalther9965]

Heidi Larsen Rich parents.

[@bosslady1914]

Maybe, but not necessarily Steve. There is such a thing as young people who work hard for their dreams, believe it or not. And in the digital age, there are more ways than ever to earn an income in unconventional ways. I'd love to hear the variety of answers too Heidi.

[@GingerOMG]

Work a year or two, save money, only get what you truly need, keep it simple. Then you will have money to travel for a while. When traveling don't stress, stay still for a bit and you wont burn money so you can enjoy the lifestyle.

[@beherenowyt]

Heidi Larsen I travel and strip while living in my van! I also make and sell jewelry, dream catchers, candles, I’m also a nanny. Life on the road is wonderful :)

[@rubyq7207]

You find jobs along the way, or you stay here your job is and save money to buy a house if that's what you want, you create something to support you, you move a bit differently in the world, you don't define yourself by appearances and the stuff that owns you, you own your life, society doesn't own you or the rules they say you have to follow, or the job or fake connections...it's a change of view and a new way of life that flows with you not you with everything else. You have the freedom to just breathe and be you and only be confined by what you decide to be confined to.

[@RVJoey]

The last few minutes was amazing, true and perfect for those thinking about this lifestyle.

[@crazylady..]

Hey Joey, There were alot of wise words weren't there? Safe travels..

[@veganpotterthevegan]

The best thing for these areas is to leave them alone. Move to a city with shared walls for efficiency. The best way to not leave a trace is not going there to begin with. We need to work of reforestation, not living in the forest.

[@AmaranteMusic]

This is great! Thanks for using our music in here!

[@yesika1157]

Amarante Music waahh awesome music!

[@kungmarkatta2000]

Great music :)

[@normalee9025]

I downloaded this song on itunes, super chill!

[@JenShea]

Lovely music :)

[@johnbrown2163]

Amarante Music Did you write the song or just own copyrights?

[@LifeBetweenTheDash]

She made me so happy!! Loved her van. Loved her stuff. Loved her viewpoint.

[@posterdesign8780]

You are living the true life girl. Keep inspiring. Love you

[@visualtraveler5263]

Very nice Dylan, .I love the vanlife stories. And she really brought out a lot of things about living out on the land that's really real. I love her van. Very nice video work Dylan, with the drone and other views. Much happiness and peace to you and this van dweller. :-) ✌

[@klouism1]

Beautiful attitude, beautiful young lady, beautiful life. Keep having fun.

[@KennethCampbell]

Incredible shots and b-roll footage here, by the way. Captivating aerial views. The van owner's reminder that we each need to pursue a life and home that stimulates us and keeps our drive is so great. Thanks for sharing this with us. Great video!

[@tech9iner]

This lass was a joy to watch and listen to. Very energetic.. came across as honestly genuine. Thanks for #SHARINGitFORWARD Cap'n Magaster!

[@rixanneh18]

There is always at least one shot in every video that you do that gives me goosebumps. It's awesome! I loved that she said she is living in "the real world" a lot more than most. Spot on. Another brilliant piece of work!. thank you

[@NoProGoPronto]

Whew! She's very energetic and practically interviewed herself. I got out of breathe just listening to her. LOL! Love her and love that Awesome van 👍🏽😃

[@gnwwolf]

I have the exact same 1986 GMC vandura get away van! Except he's a faded gray and I call him the beast. Well worth the two grand he cost me last year, runs like a champ, and parts are easy to find. Best wishes for this lady's van adventures.

[@atomsmith9323]

Dude your videos are so chill and inspiring. Thank you Dylan and Christie

[@Atheria444]

She is truly living, where too many just exist.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

No. Living in a van has its limitations. Be happy where you are. Van life is hard.

[@KOTDM1988]

I've watched alot of these, and this is probably my favourite. The person, the scenery, the total non-fussed attitude. Good stuff.

[@JAMDSF]

She seems so happy and intelligent. A life lesson that made me feel so good. Thank you for sharing.

[@haute03]

The production quality of these videos keeps getting better and better. That continuous drone shot at the end? Amazing.

[@jacobfletcher8614]

Man your videos are so good! Thank you for producing quality video content and sharing your passion.

[@shavaunaronan3188]

What a cool person. I love her attitude! Welcome to Canada!

[@eviefieseler1093]

Dylan, you really do feature the most interesting people! Thank you for this channel. Congrats to this young woman for living her dream. I admire her attitude.

[@theway24]

I love your channel watching how people find their way to happiness. Thanks for bringing all this vedios to us.

[@01splitpea]

Another awesome video! This woman has her priorities straight. Just love her life! Thanks, Dylan!

[@christielalama7742]

All of these vids are so inspiring, thank you for this!

[@RVJoey]

You will inspire many. Thx for being you

[@TheKimlemieux]

My favorite so far. Thanks for fulfilling your dream and sharing it with us. 💕 you're awesome.

[@dougsmith4999]

Best summed up demo and explanation on utube. They all leave out another convenience that this life brings. Look in the shared accommodation section of the want ads. You find some place you like, want to stay a while, need to work. Spread out. You move in, share expenses. Your bedroom is in the driveway.

[@snobbygoth_art]

wonderful review of the van life, love the honesty

[@Joanna_L]

This was delightful! Thank you and safe travels!

[@dennysmith7862]

Your enthusiasm is absolutely INFECTIOUS... this is how entire planet shld be living...close to nature... gain their trust - sentient beings... safe journeys & huge hug from Cape Town...

[@langdondt]

Wonderful presentation of this lady. Her story and message are inspiring

[@DanChasingTheGlobe]

"Emergency coffee" 😂 I love it! Seriously though: great, honest video! Beautiful aerial views and peaceful music.

[@amyk8488]

I admire you. The bed looks so comfy. Most vans have terrible beds which is the most important thing. Most people come across as depressed when I watch videos like this but you actually feel very light and fresh and free to me. Good going. If you are happy that's most important.

[@crazylady..]

Great video and sharing. I enjoyed it very much. She's made a great home for a great life ! Safe travels to both of you...

[@SamKresslein]

I love this. This explains so well why we do what we do! Keep the videos coming!

[@Javaman92]

Many of the things she says shows a level of wisdom that is refreshing to hear from one so young. Life is something to be lived, and sitting in front of a TV or computer screen is not life. I really liked when she said, life was too easy.

[@bob_frazier]

She seems so authentic, incredible.

[@dizziemisslizzie9884]

I added this to my favorites!! Fantastic use of space! And I love the lighting, over the bed! Great job, sweetie!!

[@kathygirlygirl4109]

Great video. Love the drone footage! You go girl!

[@angelagerger8593]

great video!!! loved the background music as well! keep rocking it :)

[@hallquiche]

The video was fantastic as usual. And so was the cinematography!

[@bitchpuhleese]

I LOVE your attitude, you are living the way I want to live and will live in the future.

[@onesweetlife2469]

You are so grounded and so right! Loving your experience!

[@AwesomeCameras]

Great episode! As usual!

[@DOGakaDefenderOfGems]

You know Dylan, I was one week away from hitting the road and doing exactly this. But life happens, and my beautiful grand daughters were faced with very sad and unfortunate circumstances and were going to split up as a result. Fast forwarding a few years...the girls are now settled and quite happy TOGETHER ... as they should be … and we are ALL hitting the road this spring. The public school system doesn't have "healing of the hearts" on the curriculum and I think its time for a VERY LONG overdue family adventure of sorts...LOL...Home schooling is so much more common now a days and it will be an experience they will remember for their entire lives. Hope you can drop by and see us all living the dream while we cruise the Alaskan highway and look over the grand canyon (and so many other wonderful things)...Just like this lovely girl in the video, waking up to a new scene every day is just what the doctor ordered for these lovely little girls I call my own now. Life is good. Thanks for a great video. Wishing you safe travels, because of course, "It's A Wander-FULL Life" indeed!

[@rwalker1003]

embarking on my own starting tomorrow, these videos help my nervousness immensely, thank you :)

[@kcatfish2268]

Great video. Magical memories.

[@christineloggie4785]

Love when you post!!

[@thomshere]

I absolutely LOVE your van! Some of my best memories is from when I owned a custom van. It was my first real vehicle and I miss it SO much! Great move!

[@josefholzer2433]

So,Fun to watch. Thank you!

[@kendiaperkins9545]

Thanks for sharing! Best wishes!

[@tuxero8837]

cute view... the mountains have great energy for me and wilderness complements that... great life christie!

[@michaelmelling9333]

I admire your strong sense of adventure and your independence. Stay safe and may God bless you!

[@sandravalani359]

Awesome video! Thanks deeply for sharing all the nature pics!!! Christie is a wonderful down to earth girl who seems incredibly interesting and genuine!😄😊☺

[@bradkw4295]

That was lovely, thanks!

[@rosabivins2558]

Great advice love it ..thanks for sharing 🤗

[@yummocan918]

One of the most honest accounts of vanlife vids I've watched. Great interview.

[@ohlordy5425]

Hi Christie, thank you for sharing a bit of your life and experiences with us. I dream of a lifestyle like yours every day. Wishing you the best always.

[@vanessaboman8143]

I love this van set up... I am inspired by this! I do live in my van part time between work assignments but I am still sorting out what I need and what I want for my calligraphy and art and crafts.

[@LexxLucious]

Wonderful!!! Thank you!!!

[@plasmichoneytrip]

I admire people who are not afraid to do what they want that is different from what we are told by society.

[@dbo1111]

Dylan you know how to show the purity of anothers life. Bravo

[@redtango76]

I can totally understand why she was so captivated by this part of BC. I've been to these places and they are spectacular! So inspiring to watch these adventures!

[@yrankin1]

Stunning scenery.

[@DeadGirlDeadSpace]

🙌🏼A beautiful and most inspiring video🙌🏼

[@frogsnfurious9707]

She's so cheerful !!! Love her energy

[@alanhudson8718]

Beautiful van,you should be very proud of it,happy and safe travels in your cosy home.

[@Eric-go5hf]

I absolutely loved this video. Everything you said made so much sense and I can relate to, especially the part where you mentioned existing is too easy but not stimulating. Anyway, subscribed, hope to see more videos and enjoy your travels!

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Christie, your energy is infectious! I am subscribed to Alternate Living, which is where I found your video. You're great on film! And,, the music IS right for this gid!

[@smurph4959]

That was so cool. So cosy. Love the simplistity 💗

[@melanielee222]

Absolutely LOVE her wild story 🥰

[@kylesaab]

[@fortunateadventures3664]

Loved it,great tour/interview hehe👍🏻🚌🌲🌲🌳

[@petitecassette8603]

And another amazing portrait of a super smart and fun woman!

[@lyric8529]

Thank you for this video!!!

[@solobackpacking]

Christy, that is absolutely amazing. Just remarkable, even a miracle. A GMC that hasn't totally fallen apart a day after the warranty expired.

[@ricochetrabbit4618]

your air plant would actually love a rain shower ending with a little indirect sunlight until almost dry!

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

so inspiring!

[@noemisamson8321]

I like that you used laidback music for this vid. Its prolly my favorite vid of yours so far.

[@sunnysmile3214]

Another aweeee video. Just wondering how you find these ppl. Thanks, Dylan!

[@sylviajones3249]

[@treehugger7916]

Long time ago I felt like I had to live a certain life, and a big part of my authentic self was lost. I can't wait to be free to go on the road one day.. Loved this girl, so funny and insightful✌🏻️☀️

[@hermesjourneys4024]

I live in a van dwelling and love it! Also love your videos!!!!
