Living in a Car: My Night Time Routine

[@kassandraorifice6912]

Your videos literally make my day. Im low key trying to plan it little by little to live in my car to get away from a toxic relationship. I told my friends about this idea and they act very shocked and worried. Then seeing videos like this always make me feel better cause I know ill be okay. Keep sharing more content please.

[@princessandrez]

Kudos to you. You'll be just fine.

[@bambi2630]

Update? U good? ❤️❤️

[@HoneyOatsLuvDunaCakes]

Good luck…update us 💜

[@arkansanbull5053]

We are in the exact same boat

[@Minibike2012]

I’m planning the same thing little by little. My advice is try not to let others opinions discourage you my friend. Living our best lives free

[@nicoleelidoeeonee9043]

As someone who lived in my car I’ll say this I was homeless, and in a toxic marriage, I survived, and it was my most fearful yet most proud moments in my life. I am proud to say I made it through that chapter in my life. I would shower in the mornings at the gym, and if I had to do it all over again to keep my peace and sanity I would 👌🏼

[@Ashley-og9ti]

How long did you live out of your car? I'm worried afterwards, when it's time or desire to rent/own, if the rent and all other bills (utilities, etc.) Makes one never want to leave the road, which is okay too!

[@amberjohnson4287]

I’m taking a 10 day road trip for the first time and your vids are SO HELPFUL and are very comforting since I’m going to be a solo female traveler! Thank you!!

[@AlyssaVanilla]

This makes me so happy to hear Amber!! Good luck, you got this!

[@gabbym333]

How did it go? I'm also a solo female and want to go car camping, but am not sure if I should.

[@amberjohnson4287]

@@gabbym333 it was amazing!!! I highly recommend you do it!! Just plan for major stops, but my favorite parts were when I was spontaneous and did things in my free time that I would have never planned to do previously! Just go for it, trust your gut, and step outside your comfort zone to socialize/adventure while being safe!!! I only regretted when I didn’t step outside my comfort zone and wished I had that experience. Message me if you have any other questions! But I LOVED IT ❤️❤️ good luck!!

[@faithjourney247]

I started my car life journey recently..I love your tips and advice. Stay safe out there. I truly believe this lifestyle will catch on 🔥 in the years to come.

[@sukamayoutube2323]

I have a Toyota Yaris (uk) they are TINY but I've slept in it twice. It fits and air bed in the back when the seats are forward. I drove out to the mountains in Scotland and slept in it last week. I was paranoid the whole night that someone would come knock on the windows and tell me off. But no one did. I thought I was weird doing it but after seeing you do it too I feel much better!

[@AlyssaVanilla]

After you do it once it takes most of the anxiety away! And I’m sure your trip was beautiful 😻

[@allandunbar9700]

I've been wanting to come on KZbin to get some ideas and tips of living in my car. The craziest thing is the gym membership. A friend suggested doing that to take a shower and I use the shower every time (but after I get a good workout in) then the idea about the window cover, is a good idea, I'll need to buy something like that. The next thing was the rotating the sleeping spots. I'm not sure if sleeping in your car is illegal here in Massachusetts, but I like the idea of switching overnight because of staying low key. But thanks for your post.

Another awesome video Alyssa. I'm loving your PATREON content. Such beautiful pictures of your travels. Thanks for taking the time to post them. Every week I see your KZbin subscribers have grown significantly. That just shows how awesome you are. Never any thumbs down too! Keep up the great work. Also, just one last thing. I am not a scientist. But I knew someone once, who's brothers friends uncle knew Albert Einstein. He told me that there's a secret society of underground fish that clack the bones together at 2am every night in remembrance of the great Allinav Assyla, The Great Ocean Princess. They say that she is going to return one day, after she travels the world. But she assured them that she would always think about them as they clack the bones at 2am. Anyway, that's the story. Don't know if there's any truth in it.

[@melissajulian5059]

Have you ever had a bad experience trying to sleep somewhere? Or where should people avoid trying to sleep?

[@nomaderic]

I know being a woman is different than being a man as far as safety but I heard you mention staying at rest stops and truck stops. There are so much better and safer places to stay than that. It sounds weird but if you're in a city it's so easy to just blend in. You draw way less attention to yourself. A great example is a park n ride. It will be a big parking lot full of cars and you can just blend right in... there's actually one in the denver area I can sleep at every single day and nobody would suspect a thing. Besides that places like quiet residential streets where you see other cars parked, such as close to apartments. Alot of people make the whole nomad sleeping way more difficult than it is. 99 percent of people don't know or care if you're in your car. I can go to a parking lot right now and spot like 5 different car lifers but the average person wouldn't even know. Blending in is the key.

Really helpful video. Do you have a "toilet" in the car? I'm worried what I'd do if I needed a number 2 in the night? :/

[@truthorconsequences5470]

@Neil I can't give any advice pertaining to number 2, but I have a Luggable Loo in the back of my Camry (I took all my seats out), and only use it to pee in. My windows are totally blacked out in back, and I use the window mesh covers that she shows in the front windows, plus a sunshade in the windshield. I have Pine Sol which I buy for $1 at Dollar Tree, and wash out the Luggable Loo in the early AM (when no one is around), for $2. I never get out of my car at night either. I push my Camey seat back and raise it, then I scoot over the console to the back, where I have a 4 inch gel/foam cot mattress, which I bought from Camping World. I also bought a fitted sheet for cots from Ebay. I'm happy! And I also wear a lanyard with my car key around my neck, as I chronically lock myself out of my car! 😆🤣
