I BOUGHT A JEEP!

[@kimberlygarland2842]

Girl, we watch you for YOU, not your van! It doesn't matter what you're driving, it's how you handle the nomadic life that I love to watch!

[@bishop7534]

I'm confused, isn't your channel called Adventure Time Loui? So why you low-key apologizing? You're still going to be during adventures with your pup, its only done now in a different vehicle. Things happen for unforeseen reason, all you're doing is exchanging one vehicle for another but the adventures will continue (in different ways now), that's growth my friend. This will bring better content to the channel because you'll be 4v4ing through mud, snow and more mud (hint hint) 😋😁. We follow you for what you bring and that won't stop because of what you're driving....so keep on riding!!!! Oh yeah, CONGRATS!!!!! The community will now begin to expand to new 'heights' now (see that pun) and the health of your mom & you are important. Do you..bring videos...keep smiling...still safe!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

🥰 hehe you’re so right! The amount of mud this will bring to this channel is going to be endless hahaha thank you so much for supporting me through this transition 💓

[@bishop7534]

@@AdventureTimeLoui You're welcome but the thanks goes to you, without your videos I would probably wouldn't know what's out there in the country being in not as adventurous as you are. You show us cities and trails that woos the eye, can't ask for more than that.

[@daniellemcnamee1565]

Congrats girl! Can I just say your mom does not look old enough to be your mom! Gorgeous women! I’m not white or black but seeing someone other than white people in van life is definitely inspiring! You should do a jeep build out tour with Bob Wells !

[@xaviermorales9200]

Super appreciate what you said about the Jeep community needing more "melanination." As a Filipino transman who is on their second Jeep, who is into overlanding and lives in a tiny home on wheels, it's nice to see more diversity in these really niche communities. Yes, it's not about what you drive, but there is something about having intentionality and consciousness around the consumer choices we make.

[@rubybowd5279]

i don't know about others, but i love watching your videos because it feels like spending time and catching up with an old friend while they're out travelling and having fun. i'm always just excited to see what you're up to next

OMG Loui! 🎉CONGRATULATIONS🎉 This is so exciting. I've been watching some overlander KZbin videos and have been amazed at not only what they can do, but where they can go. And NO ONE looks like us. It will be fun to see how you kit out your new Jeep. I'm sure William will be excited as well. Keep bringing the Black Girl Magic to adventures where we are non-existent. 💞🤗💞

Moving from your old beloved van to a new jeep would be no different than moving to a new house, so it makes sense that you were emotional. It's too bad you couldn't have given her to someone in need.

[@CatherineMoore888]

I donated a favorite car to the battered women's movement. My car was to be fixed up and given to a woman determined to be free and her family too. Makes sense when there is lots of work to be done to move up. I benefited and so has a mom & kids who are breaking free from domestic violence. A teardrop trailer or tiny pop up can make things more homey. I saw a female artist nomad with such. Adventure Time Loui we support you and what you are doing. Hi mom, and pups

[@roselsimpson858]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Jeep life. I have owned my Jeep for over 2 years now. As a matter of fact I paid it off this past Friday and now I am mentally free to modify it any way i want. There are several Instagram pages filled with melanin you can check out My favorite is Jeeping while black I have one called Urban Wranglers but not much content. You are going to love making it your own. Good luck my friend!

[@H20fanatic20]

There’s so much you can do with it, I’ve always been intrigued about overlanders, especially their roof top tents, it would be super cool to be deep in nature and sleeping in a rooftop tent

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Yes me too! I can’t wait until I save up enough for one now!! I will be giving y’all the full low down when it does happen ✨

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Yay! I hope I can help you come to a decision when the time is right 💗

[@charlycheer]

Yay for another goal achievement! I got my RV in February and just got my 1st vaccine dose yesterday in California. I recommend you calling your city and getting on a waiting list where your city will call you to make an appointment. It actually happened faster for me than I thought. I think I was on the waiting list for maybe two weeks and then the age group opened for me and they called me to set up an appointment. I’m excited for you to come to California! 🤗💜 Congratulations on your Jeep!

First, you look absolutely beautiful on the jeep. So, clearly a good fit. You never seemed like someone to limit yourself. I appreciate a vlogger who admits that everyone rushing back outside to whatever normal is has to make you a little nervous. Better to be protected. Almost forgot. Kept wanting to jump in vlog and give you a hug.

However, I have built my Jeep JKU into a camper, and will likely sell the VW. Jeep can be a great camper, and is more reliable as a car than the Westy. Enjoy your journey!

Cocoa was your home and it's understandable that you miss her, she got you this far and now you can thank her by keeping the journey going. If you haven't heard of Staples in Tents you should really check them out they are a husband & wife based in ATL who do a lot of overlanding and are creating a space for POC within an area of outdoor activities where we normally aren't represented. This is why what you're doing and your future adventures are going to be so amazing bc you are opening doors for many who may not have thought about van life, or jeep life or off roading/overlanding.
