Living in my car ON THE ROAD | The rainy days

[@danapuzzo2750]

Been overworked and depressed this week and this video brought me real joy. You take life as it comes, and it’s really cool how you get happiness out of the simplicity of your little set-up, the rain, a cow, a hot meal, etc. Keep making videos, I love the underlying philosophy of what you’re doing.

[@justrowan]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment. May you keep finding joy this week!!

[@PatriceMarieDobson]

Thanks Rowan you are very brave and beautiful! A truly strong and sweet character! Wishing you all the best out there!

[@elizabethisaac5662]

You inspire me Rowan. Your simplicity and contentment is humbling. Learning to appreciate what I have and not whine! God bless you!

One of the things i appreciate about your channel is how upbeat, and grateful you are for the beauties of living life. One of my most favorite quotes is: “You’ll never be happier than you are grateful.” - Russell M. Nelson. Thank you for sharing beauty with us.

[@justrowan]

You are so welcome! Thank you for sharing that quote - I love it! 😊

[@juliairwin4481]

Love the quote. Thank you for sharing it with us. Stay safe Rowan.

I love love love road trips. I love to drive. I drive for a living and when I can't go anywhere because I have to work. I go on rides with you... I have driven from Rhode Island to California, Wyoming, Florida the carolinas. I have family in all those places. It's great. Can't wait to retire so I can do road trips all the time...Thanks for sharing your experiences and your moments.

[@cathybrooks6835]

Omg, that storm. Smart of you to go to a hotel. Good thing to get a good sleep. Enjoy your adventure and stay safe!

[@justrowan]

Thank you!

[@katherinelyons7947]

Hello again. It rains in Ireland a lot. I like LED lights , candles and a warm fire to cheer me up. It makes up for the wet days. Best wishes again.

[@justrowan]

There is definitely something very comforting about sitting by a warm fire when it’s raining out! For now, I have my candle. Is it a heavy rain in Ireland? PNW winters have many days of rain but it’s usually a pretty light one.

[@jenniebancroft2778]

I'm an Aussie and I'm addicted to you and your videos. 😊

[@AZ-Sharon]

Windshield wiper speed vs rain ratio is a THING! It's so true! Just found you a few days ago ( mid Jan '24), originally deep dive door dashers and discovered your van life simultaneously ( my other deep dive). Whoa I hit the jackpot! I had to go back to the beginning to try to find the beginning (Virgo prefer chronological order 🤣) Just love your positive energy and joy in life. It's good for me right now. I'm a 74yr old native Arizonan who is having some cranky back issues and I just decided to live my life in my bedroom with my two Chihuahuas and pretend I'm in a "Tiny Home"🤣 I am an excellent Doordash customer! Chuck from Dashing Across America has unintentially taught me tipping courtesy. I put a tip with my order then leave a note with some cash on the table by my front door thanking my dasher! I actually watch the notification page showing where the dasher is. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and genuine joy for everything. You are inspiring me to get up and go outside into the sun!😎

[@justrowan]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos! Welcome to the channel! 🤗

[@lievepensaert566]

Quite a storm. I loved that glorious sunrise. And your cooking 😊 The cow, the desert grasses, those rock formations, beautiful. Every storm passes. ❤

[@holymoly3640]

You are such an inspiration to me. The closest I came to living out of my car was a drive from Orange County CA to San Antonio TX. Slept in my car in a hotel parking lot & drove on Interstate Highway 10 going East at 2:00 in the morning. It's 21 years later and I'm hoping to do some more of the same with no particular destination in mind. Just seeing different places and meeting new people. You've reminded me of how much fun and how much of an adventure life can be. Safe travels to you 😊

[@justrowan]

Thank you!! 😊

[@UdoraHogge-z8i]

Rowan, I just discovered your channel. It makes me happy. You teach me to enjoy the little things. We wear the same glasses BTW. Mine are readers. 🎉

[@normamccafferty3053]

Gratitude is deeply life changing. For sure. So is honestly examining the choices one has made. I respect you for embracing both of these things. ❤ I can’t wait to see you in your home on that plot of land you find one day! 🏡

[@douglashoward5738]

The drive into Wyoming was beautiful and the rainbow amazing. Do you have a power station? Rowan storm chaser! Please be careful and safe travels!

[@justrowan]

I don’t have a power station but I’d like to get one at some point. I think it could fit right behind the drivers seat and recharge itself while I’m driving. Rowan storm chaser lol I think I’m looking more for the eye of the storm!

[@SullyVanLife]

So, breathtaking scenery! Wow! We would all love to know that you have working wipers now? Be safe. Enjoy the journey. ❤

[@justrowan]

Thank you Laura! 💖 I’m working on the wiper situation- I’m hoping I can fix it myself, just haven’t had the time to tackle it yet. Fortunately for now there hasn’t been more rain!! ☀️

[@shayla_breanna]

Geeeez what an ending. Great video glad you made it through safe!

[@justrowan]

Thank you! Me too!!

Hopefully u got them fixed!!! Thanks for sharing!

Great video! I love your casual style. The first plant is called prairie sagewort or pasture sage. The second plant is common wormwood. They're both in the mugworts family.

Omg. I feel like your mother and worried sick with you in that last storm ⛈️ and no wipers!!! Omg. My anxiety was through the roof!!! Thank God you made it safely somewhere!!

[@graceverssen5651]

It's making my moment!!! What a wonderful phrase. ✨

[@CrimeScenesandCanvases]

I just watched this video (not realizing the date) and I was SO CONCERNED about where Ruby is! You must not have had her yet, I am glad to see you made it through your windshield wiper emergency! I love your videos, they inspire me, please keep on posting! Also I was looking for your cashapp or venmo, I don't like it that YT takes so much of the donations made through them and would like the support to go to you and not YT! Thank you again!

Those storms are incredible, and your windscreen wipers stopped. A scarey situation.

[@Rammer7]

Try putting Rain-X on your windshield. I didn’t have wipers for a few months and it helped a lot! Especially on the highway. Works great! 😊

[@justrowan]

Thanks for that idea! I’ll check it out when I’m at autozone today.

If it’s not raining g too much you can use rain-x in a pinch. Tge water heads right up, especially if you are driving pretty fast.

[@muscleymancomics]

I know this video is 8 months ago, but RainX really does work to repel water in the event your windshield wipers stop working again (i trust they've been fixed).

[@melody7779]

The best weather forecaster on YT is "Ryan Hall Y'all". His weather predictions are precise. That would be good to use for your travels. If you can find an "Auto Zone" they could help with the wipers and give you a free diagnostic on maybe the cause for them stopping. Just an idea. I have no idea is that franchise is in that part of the country.

[@justrowan]

I watch Ryan Hall- he’s great!! But yea,, not before this drive lol only after I was in the middle of the storms. I learned my lesson! I’ll check out auto zone- I think they’re located all over and it’s a good place to start.

[@marliesyanke4580]

I admire your courage to travel all over. I wonder if you ever had scary moments around your van at night. Its such a lonely life.

She still has Ruby, and she's really growing. Rowan put up a note yesterday , she had to take a few days off for family. She'll be back.

[@NancyMoody-ec7wt]

You need to be careful picking stuff to eat that you’re not not sure what it is lol. There is an app called “picture this” that I downloaded and all you have to do is take a picture of the plant and it’ll tell you exactly what it is. It’s really cool.

My sister inlaw does door dash for supplemental income. I just don't see how driving long hours every day, putting wear and tear on your car to make a few extra bucks, is worth it. The numbers don't add up to me. Then you have to consider car repairs if you break down.

White sage grows in Southern California and has laws protecting it, so I wouldn’t pick it. There are a lot of varieties of sage that are more widespread than white sage, and are okay to pick in small amounts, such as desert sage, jerusalem sage and culinary sage. Hopefully that helps!
