VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Lisa has lived off and on for four years in her Nissan NV 2500 High-roof tiny home on wheels called Free Bird! She has a remarkable perspective on life after her mother passed from Breast Cancer. Once following what society would claim to be the responsible choice of becoming a lawyer, she now is pursuing her passion for acting! Her bed converts into bench seating, and although it can completely fold away, she leaves half made for her two cats to have a comfortable space to hang out. A Dometic fridge fits snug between the seats, and a dry flush toilet fits perfectly under the kitchen countertop.

OMG you are too cute! You remind me of Baby from dirty dancing 🤩 great setup ❤️

[@DigitalDuelist]

She does have those vibes. I say keep pursuing acting

[@allthingsnu4673]

This is one of the best van life videos I've seen. Lisa, her van and her story are captivating and inspiring. The van's design is perfect. I've never even liked the Nissan NV when I've seen it in other videos but what Lisa has done with hers changes my mind.

[@pinut187]

You haven’t seen many videos then.

[@allthingsnu4673]

@@pinut187 I've seen dozens of videos and this one not only covers the van itself but also her background... it's inspiring. For the size van she has, her layout is smart and would work for me.

[@consigno10]

WTF. These videos are killing me when all these folks younger than me chasing their dreams and not being help back by the "MAN". As a small biz owner, I'm the man and I have no excuse. When the kids move out in four years, I hope this to be not van life but my life.

[@deastover898]

I second this. But maybe more like 2 yrs. If my son has a say in it, never lol. He hates the idea. But he is 18 with a baby on the way and a totally different place in life. I give him about 7 yrs and he will be begging me to stow him away with me 😜

[@Lynnda86]

Me, three!! I'm 54 and trying to talk my husband into doing this. He's 67 and is finally applying for his Social Security benefits. I hope he'll come around. I know we can do it!!

It will be man.. I set my sights on this 4 years ago. 2 years for build. 2 years full time on the road. I still work. I still find side gigs when I can. And I do have many complaints BUT it’s just like everything else. Has its ups has its downs but I wouldn’t have it any other way..

Good to see you again, Lisa. The only crappy thing about your YT channel is that you never post anymore. We miss you.

[@signalfire6]

Like everyone else, this is the BEST conversion ever. It's perfect. I have one question and a suggestion - how do you keep the cats from wandering away when you might want to be driving on for the day, and you might want to start growing wheatgrass for them to keep in the van - it's healthy for them and that's why they were eating the plants. You can buy wheatgrass seeds in bulk, just add dirt and water, they sprout in a few days and a crop lasts a week or more. If you're in a grassy area you can always pull some grass for them to eat but you never know if the grass has been treated or might be otherwise dangerous for them.

[@petermautner7052]

[@Brigand231]

Don't let other folks tell you your value or how you should do things, good on you for saying "This is the life I want" and sticking with it. It's up to each individual to decide if they want to accept who and what each other person is and if that's someone/something they can live with day in and day out. It's ok to say "yes" and it's ok to say "no, that's asking me to change who _I_ am". Enjoyed seeing you going on a shopping spree Gutted, waiting for more episodes to drop here on YT.

I also have to say well she gives off the aravana white Vanna White was always dressed beautifully from her shoulders to hurt at least knees and she never showed her body off she was very classy I think showing the van is what's important here if you're proud of what you've done in the gym that's great that's beautiful that's wonderful but in van life is not where you're supposed to be showing that off you can make your own channel showing the world how proud you are of your body and how beautiful you are and not do it on Van Lief or tiny homes

I have lived in my sprinter van full time for two years. The toilet she has would be incredibly expensive and create a huge amount of garbage for any full timer. I would not want to deal with all those non biodegradable bags of urine. I also use more propane in a week boiling water for tea then she says she uses for cooking over the course of a few weeks, maybe she eats out a lot. I wonder how she does this as my reality of full time is quite a bit different. I am purchasing a Nissan van from a friend and checked out this video for ideas.
