[@auroragrace9737]

She has lived so many lives and still growing. So inspirational.

[@joybickerstaff194]

Thank u Bob for bringing us all together, there and here! And Stephanie, thank u for ur service!!! U r one smart cookie, wish I could be as smart as u

[@richardmartarano4266]

Great conversation. As a 24 year retired army guy who happens to be a conservative, I say "Live and Let Live!" Stephanie, proud of you and thanks for sharing a snapshot of your life with us......Scouts Out!!!!

[@tree7249]

richard martarano open minded and tolerant people come from all walks and both sides of the isle. Self important pain in the ass close minded intolerant fools who think what they think matters belong to all walks of life and both sides of the isle.

[@richardmartarano4266]

Mark Nichols a bit confused about what you tried to say....

[@irenehumphries1910]

richard martarano obviously mark thinks what he thinks matters

[@AndreaLKL72]

Whatever you receive monthly is not a blessing you EARNED THAT and deserve more. Thank you for your service and I'm glad you didn't lose your life. 🙏

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

Andrea Lodden Thank you for the kind words.

[@liddlekiddle1962]

Very inspiring! She is intelligent and well spoken - already learned a lot! Thanks Bob and Stephanie!

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

You're welcome

[@annettefournier9655]

I think this is the least Bob has ever spoken in an interview. Lol. Stephanie may be an introvert but the educator takes over. Happy for you Stephanie.

[@asphaltgypsy868]

She seems very upbeat and wanting to teach!!

[@lillyblessings8475]

Annette Foumier, it was so cute watching them. He just stood and nodded at her. I tried to stay out of the shot but they caught me in a very brief frame. lol

[@tree7249]

annette fournier bob is a great interviewer. He talks as little as possible. Letting the person talk makes for the best content.

[@kodomotachi1]

I love this woman. She just has to remember that she is blessed, yes, but that is because she has spent her life serving others, most extremely by nearly losing her life in that endeavour. Many happy trails, Stephanie!

[@mtngoat58]

love this persons confidence and attitude and loving nature ----8 years marine corp here ---semper fi -----peace and good luck stephanie

[@alliekingsley7919]

What a sweet, beautiful lady she is. I'm so glad she shared her story with you, and you shared it with us!

[@greggfla]

Thank you for your service Stephanie!

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

welcome

[@Sig721Tau]

@@TravelerStephOriginal I noticed that you have a nervous tick [leg movements] and you talk a little fast. Hope that you don't suffer from TBI and/or PTSD. Thanks for your service!

[@jessicamarie8806]

Love you, Stephanie! Always find a way to share yourself with the world - it’d be a waste if you didn’t!! Xox Jessica from N.C.

[@SK22000]

I’m in the same boat disabled female vet, sick of living in the city and want to wander. I get disability and would rather be on the road and see this beautiful country before I die

[@michellestratford9753]

Holy! She is one brilliant and fascinating woman! Thank you Stephanie for a wonderful interview ❤

[@cindys3435]

I first want to say thank you for your service even though I’m in Canada. You seem to be a beautiful person inside and out. I also have a very bad back but also a deep desire to become a nomad and you have inspired me as I am worried that I won’t have the strength to do everything that needs doing but I have just been inspired by listening to you so thank you for that. I hope you have great travels and a wonderful life. ❤️

[@cagirlmp8721]

Stephanie seems like a lovely person. I wish her nothing but the best in her nomadic life.

[@pammarshall9942]

I think I'm in love! As a member of the LGBT community in rural Appalachia, I'm encouraged to hear of someone in the VA Hospital system AND the nomadic community promoting safety and acceptance of our lifestyle too! Whatever personal views, thank you so much for yet again being such a positive force for good Mr. Bob!

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

Thanks for the kind words. :-)

[@danihannah4493]

What a great story Bob.She seems so happy.I need to thank her for her service.You are a inspiration to all of us Bob.Be safe my friend.

[@ManWander]

an introvert and a teacher - what an interesting combination! Thanks Stephanie for your service!

[@waltdurling9487]

From 1 retired get to another, thank you, Stef, for your service. You’ve got a great attitude and a solid plan. You’ll do well.

[@regalnameelizabeth4367]

Have to comment-- I LOVE HER! Would never guess she was an introvert! She was meant to be on the road educating people- especially safety/survival etc- I do believe the first I've watched where someone has mentioned- what happens if you're without all the technology-- she needs her own channel!

[@Ameathia]

Thank you for your service Stephanie ! Stephanie really brought it home about traveling with just the necessities. Whether that was her intent or not, it really has me thinking that I don't need to haul as much as I thought I did. Blessings

[@carlamathurin2941]

Any one part of Stephanie’s story is fascinating but together she is utterly amazing. Using your disability to gain a doctorate wow! And so positive.

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

Thank you

[@GabrielleFreedom]

Awesome interview Bob & Stephanie!!! Thank you so much for your service Stephanie!! And thank you, Bob, for being so loving and welcoming to all. ❤️

[@magnoliabranca5149]

Love her smile and her talk! Could hear her for hours.

[@realeyesrealizereallies6828]

I read through the comments just to see the response of the community to Stephanie's situation. Most of the people seem to be civil, but there are a lot of judgemental replies. I just don't understand why people are bothered by decisions that don't effect them in any possible way. Just live and let live, there's no reason to be cruel. On a separate note, if your thinking about joining the military, I would suggest reading "war is a racket" by Smedley Butler who was the most decorated marine in history, he also stopped a coup attempt on president Roosevelt"s life orchestrated by the oligarchic business class elite. The U.S military is by far, the biggest polluter, and destructive force to the environment.

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

Thank you for the supportive words.

[@tree7249]

real eyes realize real lies oh ok.

[@Sig721Tau]

@AMSLPI How does one's life choice directly effect [opposite of affect] another's daily life? My cousin is a homosexual and it doesn't bother me at all. Its her life and her's to live.

[@pagewhite61]

Thank you for your service Stephanie and thank you for sharing your story.

[@massboy11]

The minute you mentioned map reading and land nav.....totally got my attention. I'll be retiring out of the Reserves in 5 months. I still work a full time job in the civilian sector. I've been looking at the Range Runner and finally decided it is for me. Great set up....Best of Luck with all future endeavors! Maybe one day we'll run into each other.

[@SharonGulezian]

Look forward to meeting you Stephanie. I'm another Runaway owner. Thank you for your service. Enjoy traveling.

[@jg5792]

It is such an honor to meet you and learn from you. Thank you !!!

[@kathymack3791]

Bless you, Stephanie and thank you for being so open and willing to help others. My son is a Wounded Warrior and so I know the hassles he has with the VA. I can only imagine how much more difficult it must be for a transgendered soldier. I think it's awesome that the VA has you there to help them.

[@hellojuneau8917]

I like how she brought up on how to share to the community. Giving to others is the best thing one can do in their lifetime, it really does bring joy. Amazing woman, thanks!

[@hewittaj1]

She is fantastic! Putting her skills which are awesome to use in the community in a practical and extremely useful way ! Right on ! Needed survival on the road 🙌🖤

[@youtubefan7733]

I really enjoyed this video. Stephanie is such a genuine sharing person. Thank you Bob & Stephanie! Really really great interview.

[@phyllisbickford9814]

Stephanie, you are such a good public speaker. When you mentioned your education, what type of work you've done (as a teacher) I understood why! Keep up the good work and happy travels!

[@ecupillari]

Stephanie for President :) @traveling Transgender

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

Phyllis Bickford I was a high school science teacher and college professor.

[@AndreaLKL72]

Bob is such a great person. Something about him is so genuine and nonjudgmental.

[@jessykapop]

I agree. Thank you for being so warm and welcoming

[@anneirenej]

Dearest Stephanie, Thanks for being so wonderful and helping others. You are top notch.

[@wendyfahmie7608]

I am happy for you, Stephanie. Thank you for your service to our country and happy trails!

[@tonybelisle423]

I think it is awesome that a wonderful person who served our country is happy doing what makes her feel good thank you so much for being there for us American's. I tried to find your social media but was unable to find you!

[@edithp.7213]

Thank you Bob for being so open minded and for saying EVERYONE is WELCOME!

[@d.kennedy7627]

ApacheBob41 Ewwwwww......closed minded aren't we?

[@d.kennedy7627]

JohnnySixString I talk to Jesus all the time. Is that a problem or a plus?

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

Thanks for the kind words Edith.

[@edithp.7213]

Hmm, I guess I like my “fantasy land”, where people respect each other and treat one another with kindness. Isn’t that what Jesus would want us to do? It’s not easy being “different”. This gal has served our country honorably and she is displaying enormous courage right this minute opening her life publicly the way she is. Courage under fire!

[@lillyblessings8475]

ApacheBob41. You are the one that needs to read. There is clear un-indoctrinated information about infants born with multiple genitalia, infants, children, youths, and adults having uncommon levels of hormones which can result in brain and body changes, the list goes on and on. Get up to speed before you preach to ppl that are open to learning and being kind and accepting of others.

[@jamesfrommanitoba.1992]

Stephanie, thank you for your service. Your a inspiration for so many. I hope our paths cross some day you sound so full of knowledge and sound so excited on your future. I wish you years of sharing your positive attitude with the world, please travel safe!

[@livnletlrn]

Wow, this is a woman with a lot to offer any community she chooses to participate in. What an excellent speaker and friendly person with an interesting history. I can't wait to watch your rig tour, Stephanie, but wanted to take a moment to give a thumbs up here before I move on to that.

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

My goodness, Stephanie! Such an accomplished introvert! You must be CRUSHING that PTSS!!! Love all that you do and your rig. Sorry about your injuries though. Thanks for your service and may you be blessed everywhere that you go!

[@bineausmiami]

Thank you for your service Stephanie!!! You maybe have been even on one of our flights with World Airways transporting troops. You seem to have a lot a valuable info to share. All the best to you. Safe travels..

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

Thank you for posting this video, Bob.

[@patsycav]

God has blessed you, Stephanie. What a great way to make lemonade from lemons. It's no fun being injured, but making it out alive and having a chance for a good future is a blessing.

[@djborum9014]

Bob you are such an open minded and inclusive person. Thank you for your kindness and guidance for all.

[@lillyblessings8475]

Pretty sure DJ meant inclusive by the rest of his/her post.

Finally Bob someone you do not have to prompt she is so smart and knowledgeable about her rig you only got maybe 2 questions in 🙃

[@riskybizness00]

Thanks Bob. I really enjoyed this interview. Love her rig and her story and how she has made the decisions about her car and rig. Made a lot of sense.

[@SarahQMalone]

I hope to see you on the road sometime.We all have one life we should live it how we want as long as we don't hurt anyone.Live and let live.

[@garyballard3484]

RealRickyRoss , All that you said is mostly bullshit. Some Wars are unjustified. Some are Justified it's always been like that. But that has nothing to do with the Bravery of the soldier who volunteers to risk his life for his country.
