Living In My Van | A Realistic Day In My Life While Living In A Van| Ep.16

[@texasrefugee7888]

One thing I love about living in a van if you don't like your neighbors start the car and leave that is an awesome feeling 😀

[@pequeninajose2735]

🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Noway673]

I agree! 100% You can leave your headache neighbors behind.I can't stand noisy and nosey neighbors.They need to mind there own business.

[@stseinyt]

That's true, unlike, an apt building, where, you're stuck there

[@fredself7846]

Don't know if you realize or not, but you are giving lots of people cooking lessons.

[@mariyahj8609]

I agree ☝🏽

[@roseannedickson4787]

Oh I love to watch her cook! Nomas meals look so tasty!

[@deborahmcgee3364]

I could eat that at least 3 times a week. I love it too 😊

[@Jesus_is_Lord_7]

Yes, she had given me some great ideas that I have used.

[@poetryisart1]

I'm addicted!!!! I'm extremely introverted and I have been researching van life to travel and take in all the beauty I can. Thank you for sharing this wonderful aspect of your life!!!! AMAZING 👏

[@midlife_minimalist]

New subscriber. I’ve watched your subscriber count go up as I made my way through your videos. I just have to say that you are motivating me. You work 18 hours, grocery shop, walk almost 2 miles and actually cook a meal. Me, I worked about 8 hrs at a desk job, did a few simple things around the house, ate cheerios for dinner and watched all your videos 😂. I’m a little older (55) and need my sleep but seriously. Although you cook way more than I do, we have a similar style of sort of just making things up. I’m getting some new ideas from you - I love mushrooms!

[@shannonking6328]

She got me started on smoked paprika and vegan bacon too.

[@jojobean2845]

I got tickled when you realized you'd taken off your mask. "What am I doing? Living on the edge? 😂 I've caught myself doing that. I absolutely am so glad I found your channel.

[@lizcarter6938]

Being an introvert it was probably a bit awkward for you to film in the store but we thank you :) it's always fun to just be along for the journey. Stay Safe, best wishes

Just a tip 🙂 put the lid on your potted water to bring it to a boil so much faster 🙂 will save you a little bit of the gas on your stove I do it all the time. Love your videos you are inspiring. Thank you 😁

[@deborahparnell8862]

ty..xoxo 🥰

[@shiningstar2903]

Use an electric kettle to boil and pour it into the pot to use propane to cook.

[@wendyedwards4806]

Correct! Excellent advice. Using wooden utensils on non-stick pans is a great tip too

[@keayrashidler3693]

Love the way you’re coming out your quiet box and showing pieces of you… You seem very funny

[@shannonking6328]

One of the things I like about your van is that the bed is right behind the driver's seat. Some of the elevated beds in the back of van conversions look nice and practical, because you can store things under them, but in an emergency I would like to know I'm sleeping right behind the driver's seat and could jump up quickly and take off if I needed to. I could also hear better if somebody was tampering with the doors or windows near the front. I like that you also have that extra lock on the door of your bathroom, in the event anybody penetrates the back of the van. Seems like you have a safer layout than most others. While we often see photos of van conversions with with the back door of the van open to a view of an ocean, lake or mountains, and the van owner lounging on the bed right next the open back door, in reality there are not many places it would even be safe to do that, anyway, even if such a view were nearby.

[@SteffaniesJourney]

Yes, spinach and some cherry tomatoes would set that pasta off right! Can we get a van tour? I always like to see the setup of the vans. I’ve been binge watch your videos… and I subscribed! Been thinking about getting me a van. Thx 4 sharing!!

[@handsofsafra]

I'm drawn to your videos. Love your energy. Thanks for being real. You're inspiring.

[@mtnlayde01]

I can Smell rain too. And I can smell the different seasons 👍👍

[@daniellemitchell3118]

Sometimes when I make Alfredo from a jar, I keep a little pasta water. I put it in and shake it up to get all the sauce out.Just a thought.

[@jeannapresnell7272]

I always put water n mine too. I'm a bowl scraper. I don't waste anything

[@qua-tieshacurry5129]

I always add milk to my jar

[@daniellemitchell3118]

@@qua-tieshacurry5129 That makes sense, too. But since the pasta water is already there, I use that.

[@maureenhuertas9264]

@@jeannapresnell7272 lol!!!! Love it!!!

[@cherannretiredgran68]

"We have to stop meeting like this." That was so classic! Thank you. That was my best laugh all day. I believe the more fresh, in its own skin/wrapper food one eats, the healthier they will be. As long as you get that fresh food and eat it within the 1st 3 days of getting it. I tend to overbuy that I don't eat at all up within 3 to 5 days and end up throwing at least 1/3, 1/4 of it away. I'm trying to get better at it though. 18+ work hrs. Be careful. Remember balance is key. Do you mind if I ask you what kind of work you're doing? Oh yes! Dinner looked good btw. Take care and get some good rest.

[@mariyahj8609]

Watching you cook is so therapeutic, your meals be looking tasty to .

[@veroniquediallo6055]

Keri Golds is the s**t! I've used it to make ghee and it's incredible. Just super clean. The only channel related to people living in a van that I watch besides this one is Foresty Forest, and he is completely unique (like this channel) and has a different lifestyle going. Your channel is awesome. So the binge-watch continues!

[@zonacrs]

So glad I stumbled onto your channel. Seriously looking at the 18M for my retirement 'get the hell out of Phoenix in the summertime!' rig. Nice to see a solo traveler in the real world making it work and providing examples. Thanks. The pasta looked good too!

[@TheVelvetLoungeLife]

New follower. Good for you planning and purchasing the RIGHT vehicle upfront. Plus, you are organized too. On rainy days you can get your walk in, early in the morning by Mall walking before the mall opens (in some areas). 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❗ P.S. I lost a wee bit over 50lbs. by making small changes. One of them was when making pasta, rice or potato dishes use half the pasta serving and add veggies such as cauliflower, brussel sprouts, mushrooms to the dish instead.

[@modusop8]

Just cause it might rain is no reason to not work out lil lady , they make waterproof gear for a reason. Walk or run in the rain is surprisingly refreshing

[@mariec.9102]

Also, I thought she mentioned that she had a gym membership...

[@itsallaboutjesus8935]

I don't know, maybe I missed it because I didn't hear her make an excuse. Actually, I heard just the opposite when she came out of the store & said "...we going to try". And BTW...Everybody doesn't enjoy being in the rain to exercise or anything more than from car to door. So that's a personal choice not to be made by anyone but the person themself.

[@EAP46]

She does have a gym membership but wanted to get out and walk although working 18 hours today, so I applaud her for even completing 1.9 miles! 🤎

[@annjohnson543]

Dang, girl. An eighteen hour and 45 minute day?? That's crazy. Take it easy on yourself. Your van looks incredible.

[@lisalamb2375]

I am with you girl on the Kerrygold. I tried the butter about a year ago and have never looked back. Love watching you cooking. My oldest niece just bought a Class C fan since she works remote. Hope she enjoys it as much as you seem to.

[@sharonfincher2032]

Yes it's the best butter, 👌

[@kirstievapron4705]

Irish Butter. Kerry gold 💚🍀

[@barbaragibson1302]

Thank you for these videos! NGL I’m kind of obsessed with your cooking and interacting style. Your videos feel so restful, they’re so interesting, and you come across so authentic. Love.

[@MsSassyMT]

I used to love Kerry Gold garlic and herb better before I became vegan. That's awesome that you are incorporating more plant based options. I definitely was thinking spinach in that would be great, or even chopped kale since it's a bit heartier than spinach and would add a bit of crunch with the soft noodles and shrimp.

[@toniscents6899]

Bok choy, Napa cabbage and water chestnuts as well as mushrooms go well with those ingredients. You might also do a low country foil pack with seafood, corn, potatoes, bell pepper and onions with ole bay seasoning

I'm new to your channel just discovered your channel but I'm obsessed with the Nomad life. I told my fiance when all of our kids all graduate in 3 to 6 years I think I'll be way past ready to sell everything and go thr rv life :) I laughed when you said "let me put my mask back on what am I doing living on the edge" I hate the masks and wear them only when I have to but I totally keep my distance from strangers...but I hate covid because I love meeting new people at places and I feel like Covid has made us all afraid to meet new people.

[@DonnaTheDogGroomer]

It absolutely is terribly contagious! It swept through my business and then a lot of family members too. I ran fever for 2-1/2 weeks. I’m still not totally over it yet. It’s been just over 3 weeks now. I have watched so much KZbin! 😆

May I too thank you for wearing your mask. ;) It counts as leadership in my book and I am grateful for everyone who makes the effort. justjj.

[@ariadams3290]

You can always saute your shrimp with pork or beef sausage, stir in some chicken broth, add a few bay leaves for taste, stewed tomatoes, onions, peppers, okra, a bit of rice or couscous, and voila - nice semi-cajun stew to last a few days in case you don't feel like cooking every day... It's cool that you're maintaining some semblance of a normal life, while living in your van... Cheers and be careful!
