Living On The Street In New York | Homemade Shed

[@pamelataylor412]

I wish everyone could be as accepting and kind as you, Ryan. You dont seem to see the differences in people that make others hate. It’s sad and insane, but seeing really good people like you in action gives me hope for the future. Thanks, Ryan, and good luck❤

[@kizzey2917]

So true, I really enjoy him. I've been watching for a little while now, and he brings me joy when I'm sad

[@mxbass1036]

I agree, Ryan is the best. Currently, I'm unhoused and am looking for a temporary place to stay. Maybe you could help me out?

[@LifeWithLeMaige]

Agreed

[@Tannertraversed]

It's called being on the spectrum

[@stradaview2000]

Dude - we come for the van ventures, but stay for your kindness. I don't comment much, but to see examples of kindness and acceptance like yours is a ray of sunshine in a world as cloudy as today's. Thanks!

THAT GUY YOU MET HAS BEEN IN THE COUNTRY LESS THAN A YEAR AND MAKING IT AT ALL COSTS. MUCH RESPECT FOR HIM AND RYAN YOU WERE AS ALWAYS KIND TO A STRANGER, RESPECT THAT AS WELL. IT'S EASY TO TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT WE LIVE IN A PRETTY AWESOME COUNTRY SEEING THAT GUY IS A GOOD REMINDER.

And if it was the truth, not only that but also brought a 4k dollar scooter plus built his own lil house.

It's relieving to see a dude who has his heart on his sleeve and is so at ease in these wild times. Your videos are great relaxation and insight into the basics of humanity, thanks for them. Keep it up! Jirka, Czechia

Thank you for being the kind thoughtful person you are Ryan. It’s a shame not to know more people like you.

[@bensansom3857]

Hey Ryan! Back commenting again. Inspired, as always, by your kindness and would love to help you pay it forward. Donated £100 and would love to see it given out to someone like Akin (sorry if I misspelt his name) on your travels. Big love fam x

[@vibe-dreams]

He probably won't get the full £100... KZbin takes 50%... it's a nice gesture Ben, I hope to see it given out too in a future video.

Nice to enjoy a morning coffee outside. Minus the bugs. Great travels as always showing parts of New York that some may never experience. Van alley hopefully means safety also in the city. Your energy to explore and treat all you meet with dignity is amazing.

[@largewoollybugger]

This has been one of my favorite videos of yours. It was really cool to see a businessman in business attire, fly fishing. Actually, it made me both happy and sad. Happy because he was able to escape and do something he loves, yet sad because his friends and coworkers are most likely very different then most fly anglers. That's a lonely place to be.

[@MsAmique]

Why are you getting all sad over assumptions? You know nothing about that man’s life. Lol

[@calvindillard2873]

This was literally my favorite episode by far. Especially since i live in nyc, and to see the goodness in you really makes your channel even more enjoyable to watch, thanks

[@EZK4ME93]

For being in New York, van street looks really clean and looks like the locals really appreciated a safe place to dwell. Probably safer than most places… God bless you all and good video Ryan 👍👍

[@dougt8215]

I stealth camped for a week on the west side of Manhattan last month (October) for the New York Comicon. Unlike Van Alley, on the regular streets one has to move your vehicle every few days because they send street cleaning machines through accompanied by teams of parking ticket people. Interesting to see all the people moving their cars out and back as that parade goes through. I had actually planned to visit Van Alley also, since I had seen videos of it previously, but never made it over there. I had a great time, except my e-Bike got a flat tire and so I tried the blue Citi Bike system, but that only allows you to use a bike for 30-minutes or they charge extra (even if there are no open working bike spaces at your destination). But I had fun traveling around the city. It turns out that one can get into the American Natural History Museum for free in the final hour it is open. After that I crossed over to Central Park and I came across a live music vigil or remembrance gathering for John Lennon at the Strawberry Fields section of the park. Leaving in New York traffic was awful, I could have gotten out and walked faster.

[@conniebradley9307]

Your true caring side of your personality shines so bright in this video cooking for someone you just met!!! I applaud you so loudly !! Thanks for sharing !! ❤❤❤

[@MinervaVillanueva-zv9qv]

What an awesome heart you have Ryan. You are so kind. These people don't have a placxe to live and someone reaching out to them is so awesome. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your videos. God Bless you and Stay in touch.

[@whenyouknowbetter3451]

This man made his own home on wheels. I respect a man that can adapt and make logical decisions. It is safer than shelters or paying the high rents.

[@527cami]

I came upon your channel a few days ago and have been binge watch in your videos I decided to subscribe today when you saw that gentleman as a human being and treated him with kindness and respect and broke bread with him. Best wishes to you and I look forward to continuing to watch your videos.

[@Zain_718]

As someone who lives in NY, Akeem is the perfect embodiment of our spirit. Also, that guy who parked behind you, gave you a lot of space.

[@bethcollier3789]

At the beginning of your video I was thinking how kind your are by showing us out-of-towners what the sights are in America and I get a bit further in and you kindly shared your dinner with a stranger after cooking it and everything. You are a great guy Ryan. XX and thank you for recording your weekly videos.

[@brianogden9723]

This was one of my favorite videos of yours, I don’t mean that in a bad way because I enjoy all of them. I really like the urban exploring part of van life so this video was fun. It was super awesome how you met that guy, it sounds like he’s got a great story. I’m sure you had a good conversation. Safe travels

[@bfdee1603]

D van alley must b a safe parking spot. D guy has a barbecue grill outside n some hang out sofas n nobody seems to b stealing them or vandalizing. There must b a community spirit in that alley where they look out for each other. Much respect to these dwellers for keeping d area clean n safe

Yeah, looks pretty sweet. Hope cops don't fuck it up

This guy gives off nothing but good vibes. People are people no matter what their stories are. This dude gives me hope in humanity again

[@Dalfy57]

I love your cooking on your channel. In fact, I have never cooked a good steak for my family until I did it your way. The butter, garlic and braising then baking in the oven truly got the juiciest steaks ever. I actually got compliments from the family. I told them "Ryan Twomey taught me." Love your channel.

[@mattfoster3100]

I subscribed just because of this video of you being so nice to that man and sharing a steak with him. The world needs more people like you.

[@1MsEmilyb]

So great how we can appreciate other people who live this way without judgement! That guys rig was super cool ❤

[@quipp209]

I think what intrigues me is the fact you have freedom and also make money doing something you love. Yea the lonely videos seem boring but I feel like everyone should experience being alone and learn to be happy during those times. Love the videos hope this ride doesn’t end anytime soon

[@ARLGD]

As an outdoor enthusiast who loves camping and values quality family time, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series for all your camping needs. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets, it's the perfect companion for extended camping trips. Plus, its waterproof technology ensures durability and reliability, rain or shine! Happy camping!

As a Marylander, I have traveled to New York City a few times for work and fun. I had always heard the phrase "Curb your dog" and never knew what it meant. I stepped in some stuff on the sidewalk! The sidewalk! Also, my wife had her wallet stolen out of her purse while around her neck in front of her. Double-teamed and the thief passed the wallet to another cohort and just like that $800 gone. Welcome to NY! At a conference in the 80s at the Javits Center had to walk back to our hotel and passed a parked van that had to bash the cars in front and back to get out of his space. Welcome to NY. I know, I had it coming not living in NY and visiting. Ryan you are lucky to get out with just a tee shirt. Love your videos.

[@davidmiller4758]

You really learn just how little you need to get by when youre down and out. A safe bed, a form of transportation, and some source of income is enough If you figure it out somehow. It is nuts to some people and yet the ones who have it are usually nothing but grateful

You are super generous Ryan! Down to earth and humble…. Have you ever been to Northern Saskatchewan, Canada? People always say Saskatchewan is boring. Flat. No trees. Drives me crazy! All they are doing is driving down the Trans Canada #1 highway which runs through the very Southern Saskatchewan. Just a few hours north is forest, beautiful lakes, and so much to see and and tour! You should point your van North to Canada (again) and this time, explore Northern Saskatchewan! We are at Candle Lake, Saskatchewan :). Would love to host you out on the lake for a day of fishing, visiting secluded beaches, and having a barbeque and beverage (or two!)

You're so appreciative and it makes you feel good too. I'm a retired nurse and I'm a Viviana RV trailer and 2020 September 2020. I love this small downsizing.

Ryan, you are a nice young fellow, don't park that beautiful van in New York streets.

There is no one in NY local government that is not a criminal, I promise you this. Times Square is nice, I used to go there. Flushing Meadows Park is really beautiful, if you ever come back to NY (park in a garage) and see it. Bronx Botanical Gardens is also beautiful. Best of luck for safe happy travels.
