Ya know, I am older,60. Had a massive stroke in 2017. When I healed I sold my home. Bought truck and camper. My family was excited for me. You GO GIRL!

You said so much directly to me when you said to live in the now, the joy in the present. I am 62 years old and haven’t been happy in 20 years and recently realized that I am waiting to be happy later, so I started changing my life. Already I am feeling better. I loved listening to you about it. Thx

I really love your philosophy on life. All my life I have lived for next year or 5 years from now and have only recently, at the age of 62, have started realizing how important it is to live in the here and now. Plan for the future and look forward to the future, but take time to stop and smell the roses. I am trying to be more present every single day. I have missed half of my life by working extra jobs to get ahead in the future and, in the process, missed a lot of my daughter's childhood. 😢 I am very fortunate that we are very close and I am now very present in her life and in my grandchildren's life. 🥰 I am definitely enjoying my journey now!! Thanks for sharing with us all. You are such an inspiration!! I hope to get out on the road and travel someday and it would be delightful if our paths crossed somewhere along the way. Take care and stay safe. You have a good head on your shoulders and it sounds like you have a very good heart too.

What a relief to see someone who isn't afraid to speak about pee. Being a senior, I often need to go during the night, so I simply pack along an ice cream bucket with a lid.

Hi from Australia , just listening to your night time wee woes lol and the tupperware container . I heard from campers that an easy solution is , believe it or not is kitty litter , pop a plastic bag liner in and put kitty litter in it and it soaks up all the wee and simply tie bag up and dispose of . No worries of spills or tipping it into another vessel . I use this when camping at night to save the drama of going outside it is so simple and stress free . Cheap litter at your depo store and some plastic bags for liner will work fine . give it a try . I know it sounds weird but kitty litty just soaks up moisture and thats all you need to be comfortable at night in you car and not have to stress about a bottle tipping over or the container spilling . Simply tie the bag up and its done , no more worries about spills 😊

You inspire me in so many ways, Rowan. When I decided to start downsizing for nomad life, I realized that sooooo many of my acquisitions over the years had been leading me to that choice. Fabric cubes. Small shelves. Small containers. And suddenly I started looking at things I'd owned literally ALL my life and thinking, "I don't need that." Sooooo many of my books, pieces of art, dishes. My living room now looks like a warehouse: boxes of donate, yard sale, family hand-me-downs. I can't wait to be free of all of it. One point: If you're not doing Kegel exercises now, START! It's never too soon. LOL You may think you can wait til the next gas station or coffee shop, but your bladder will have other plans. And don't put that plastic box too far away. Just sayin'. Thanks for the ride. Or visit. The last few minutes of this vlog gave me chills. I look forward to Part 2.

You know, Rowan, I am curious about what & why (& how!) you’re doing things, but I would never be so bold as to just blurt out silly questions that might be uncomfortable for you!! So I am glad that you’re so open, but you never need to feel that you must be transparent! Literally! I feel that in a good relationship, you & I will get understanding along the way & we will get “there” in the end! I may not be saying that in a way that makes sense, but, maybe it’s a beginning! You are much braver than I am, I’m so impressed how you just jump in & get it done! What you do in a day, I might get done in a week! I love your philosophy about happiness, it can be contagious! If you’re ever in N.E. Kansas, you must stop by, I would love to meet you & sweet Ruby! Erica❤

Hi Rowan I sat through your Q & A and your reasons for making vanlife a current need is understandable! As for your need to upgrade from a plastic urinal to a portable toilet and they do have different kinds and they aren't as tedious as peeing in one receptacle and pouring it into another for disposable. It's true that the clean up would be similar, meaning to dispose it, but a wee bit more comfortable. I noticed you have a patron page, people can be kind and giving, why don't you put a wishlist for the things you Ned and I'm sure somewhere out there will happily oblige you with the things you need, just set up that P.O. box and from seeing other vanlifers you will be taken care of by generous followers. I have my own question, even though you're living in a van and there's no shame in that, I wish I could do it, but why Door Dash and not your teaching career??? I understand how vanlifers are always moving around, is that one of many reasons! Take care Ms. Rowan, enjoy your journey, we only live once. God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

Yes! Your idea of “In the moment” thoughts. Spot on. And if I may add a feeling. Life is like a river, floating, and do you enjoy the sights, smell, and the ride? Or let the current take you into eddys, pointless ponds, or rapids, sometimes there is no choice there, on this. Stress is there-man made is your choice. But decluttering and releasing “stuff” in your life allows you to enjoy the moment and life a deeper, meaningful, connection with yourself, nature and others. Spot on. ❤ ☺️

Truly amazing. In 2009, I quit my 6 figure job, traded my “success” car for one that was simpler and became a background actor in Hollywood. My husband thought I had lost my mind and told me he’d rather pick up cans than be an actor. One of the best decisions I ever made even to though I never “made” it. But I made it for myself.

Brilliant video! I retired 11 months ago age 59 on a shoe string so I could look after a young springer spaniel with huge separation anxiety we had taken on after our previous dog died of a terrible cancer 11 months before that. ‘All’ I do is walk him twice a day, do the house work and cook dinner for when my husband comes home. Before that my career had been my total focus. I haven’t missed work for a second and absolutely love spending all my time with our dog (who has settled in nicely btw). Most people probably think i am slightly mad to be so focused on a dog but I love him to pieces and wish i had had that time with our previous dog (my husband was self-employed then and looked after her most of the time). Retiring early was the first time i did something quite unusual and truly following my heart and it has brought me a huge amount of happiness and peace! So I totally understand how important following one’s heart is, when in the past following my head was always the priority. I am a new subscriber and am looking forward to your videos as well as catching up with older videos. All the very best Rowan!😊😊😊🌺🌺🌺🌺☀️☀️☀️

Hi Rowan! You are an inspiration to me! I’ve felt very stuck for a very long time and you have opened my eyes to another possibility! Some day I want to try this car-home adventure and may want to bring along a cat so I have a question: anytime you are out of your car working or shopping etc. what is your advice for keeping pets comfortable…do you keep the car running or do you have fans/heater plugged in? And if so, do you have some sort of back up battery for electric? Just trying to think ahead of the logistics of it all. Safe travels to you Rowan! You are beautiful inside and out❤!

You capture exactly what it's like to live in a vehicle or off-grid, especially when you get into the relationships with others aspect of it all. And thank you for being realistic and awesome enough to tell people about peeing in the van/car. Everyone does it, I haven't met anyone in the vanlife community that doesn't have some system set up for going to the bathroom in their vehicle. And you're dead-on with minimizing everything you have and becoming a minimalist, almost being forced to. Thank you for the goal idea. I'll be using that in every aspect of my life now. You should be a therapist, I'd hire you :)

As far as going to the bathroom. a small bucket with poop bag and horse pellets some people call them Pine pellets. It works great for me I can stay inside at night and not have to leave. The pellets keep any smells under control you can't smell it at all. I recommend it

I really like your channel! It just got suggested via KZbin, a few days ago and just subscribed. Anyhow, I appreciate your authenticity. Being an independent person, living how you choose to. Being present in the moment, like you said. Thank you for posting, thanks for taking the time for bringing all of us with you on your journey. Life is hard. Thank you, again or bringing reflection into everyday life!

I am in awe of how you make the stews and tea and have plants and candles! And the bread looked delicious! My brother loved being in his car, he stayed in it even when he had a place to live! He loved the solitude. I think a lot of us can learn how to live by enjoying the moment! Love your videos! ❤

Hi Rowan just wanted to warn you that mice are attracted to plastic. When I was in circumstances that rodents were a strong possibility I only used glass for food storage. And I did not keep and food in plastic bags or tupperware. I buy almost all of storage at thrift stores. Glad you are doing awesome! Glad you take charge of your own life and not a people pleaser. You are possibly the only person on KZbin who works besides the KZbin that is I am sure is a lot of work. Stay blessed! You are not hurting others or yourself so why does it matter what others think…

Planet fitness loves to double charge people & then play dumb. Keep copies of EVERYTHING you sign with them. The same thing happened to me and a lot of other people in the town I live in and there are 4 locations. I had to file a complaint with the BBB (sent a copy of my complaint to the local branches and corporate bc I’m petty af) ONLY then did they suddenly figure it out. My advice NEVER give them a debit card tied to your bank account,use cash app etc.

You should buy an airfryer, you can create delicious food in it. Very handy in a van.

Hey Rowan! Just wanted to give you a heads up, I'm diving into your new KZbin vid right now! Just wrapped up classes, so I'm throwing on my PJs and grabbing a bite. You're keeping me company tonight! 😊 Couldn't resist dropping a comment when I saw the notification pop up-I'll leave another once I've finished watching. Can't wait to hear all your Q&A!🎉

You are such an inspiration, and your life style phylosophy really resonated with me. I love how you have made your car so homely and cozy. It's clear that you are very creative. How did you learn about renovating vans/cars - have you always been a DIY type of person, or have you been learning as you go along, through YT videos/Pintrest? I have to say, I find you very humbling and down to earth which is a breathe of freshair. You have alot to teach us 🩷🩷🩷
