This young woman stated in the beginning that she works in health care, which usually pays pretty well, so idk why so many people are assuming she's living off her parents credit card - sounds like she's a hard worker who afforded traveling the world in her converted van through passion and dedication. She has my respect!

[@SinMore]

It's a common insult, designed try to minimize women's accomplishments. Like a woman could not possibly do things without someone helping her. Blech. Even if someone is, she doing a great thing. I would be proud to finance a child doing this. People are just so jealous these days. It's embarrassing for them.

[@SinMore]

is there and independence contest some where? Not everything needs comparison. This video is just good.

[@Swordie100]

That's pretty normal for any family in my country, get your standards up..

[@DANNYTHEFROG123]

Julianne Mc and why shouldn't parents support their kids through school if they can afford it. I will never let my daughter's take out loans if they don't have to. Their heads need to be in their books. Now if they drop out then they better get a job. But it is wrong not to help your child if they are doing right and it's in your power.

[@spiceupyourlife7755]

@Julianne Mc So what?

[@macytamura4642]

With Ryan's kzbin.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

[@eartheclipse8]

Incredible to see the amount of mean comments (that you don’t see in other vanlifers videos with only guys or couples), this is a great van that she built with her mom, I’m glad she followed her dreams and wish her all the best !! ❤️

[@diogenesthecynic5037]

SJW trash. Obviously no male KZbinrs have ever gotten negative comments on their posts. Enough with this virtue signaling. One reason I love being a vanner. No p.c. police anywhere!!

[@Miss1Ginger]

People can be jerks

[@starguard4122]

I don't see any mean comments at all. She must have deleted them

[@dcostasanil]

Well good for her doing all that by herself but the title did bug me a bit solo women bla bla .... For godsake why is it a big deal if a chick does the same thing that a guy does .....i dont see any dude going like solo male cooked food ...solo male stitched clothes ....i went for these two examples because its believed girls should know how to do this stuff well Just another stereotype ... But everytime i see a women go like solo women did this ... A women did that .... Dude just put tiltles like carrying heavy weight...building a van to live in

[@taliyahruffin1673]

@@dcostasanil I think they included it because van life just doesn't particularly seem safe for a woman.

[@torren6576]

For a small van she did a great job of organizing and making it look and feel like a home.

I’ve been in Mexico for a few weeks. I’m still in Mexico so, I’ll be posting on Mondays but I’m not certain what time... it’s how Baja Mexico works. Slow down and don’t be in a rush... that applies to finding wifi. Hope you are well. Enjoy your life!

[@jazqueer6406]

Dylan Magaster Have fun in Baja! I can't wait to go!

[@cathyhall7457]

Be safe

[@tochimex1748]

Greetings from central Mexico! Enjoy!

[@jonesesjourneys2299]

Have fun in Baja. Just curious, do you ever consider adding more of your OWN life on the road? When we first got into your stuff, it was when you were vlogging from NYC and that stuff was stellar. I'm not saying a daily vlog or anything crazy, but just some highlights of you doing your thing, focusing on your photography and videography.

[@scottydoo330]

Dylan Magaster broski you have such a wonderful diverse range of people. I have a few more years before my wife and I can roll out full time. Big respect and everyone stay Grateful

[@JonPeacock]

That hot plate/toaster oven/coffee maker thing is awesome, I'll have to get one of those!

[@theooogirl3495]

I think ive seen them on amazon!

[@larmishing]

Jon Peacock they sell on amazon for around $50

[@livingthedash6727]

They sell on eBay for around $25. Amazon is always much more expensive.

[@bin_patel]

@WakinTheDeadFan It's a grill!

[@sunshineklow1224]

It is cute!!!

[@johnparungao6844]

That 3 in 1 hot plate setup is great! Added that to my Amazon wishlist!

[@TheMusachioedBrony]

John Parungao That is the smaller size-there is a bigger one too. I wonder how much power it draws?

[@MrTopsoil911]

They have at value village here in ajax ontario $7.99 used

[@debslifesimplified6406]

I've seen her prior to this video. Good encouragement for us solo females.

[@papayama3678]

This guy makes the best vanlife videos, imho. I think this has got to be my favorite build so far. Definitely going to be taking some inspiration from this one for my own build.

[@campingcarjoa]

I really love the vanlife in America. I wish we could have a similar thing in Korea. I made my van but it was so hard because of all the dumb regulations.

[@awsome14619]

@@AlwaysPossible100 I don't think that is what they meant.

[@dominickbundy6429]

What a interesting free spirited soul she is.. I envy her so much and wish her all the best..Love her little traveling companion. one could ask for any better..Stay safe, Be careful and Keep on rolling

Hey Dylan! Thank you, she did a stellar job! Keep us posted and blessings to you and your family!!

[@itisconsulting]

Dylan, always a treat to watch your videos. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@ToddThunderburg]

Your videos are awesome. Really enjoy your editing! Keep inspiring others!

[@TheDarkDresser]

She's an inspiration. It's so true that when you step out of your comfort area and do something that challenges you to the core, it builds mental strength and confidence.

[@vanessaduque1065]

I love your van 😍! Like, you did a really good job. Thank you for the kind and enlightened words at the end.. You are strong capable and worthy !

[@pinkmarshmallow352]

A very well laid out van, really practical and comfy. Happy exploring!

[@jauxro]

Yo! I've been thinking about almost that *exact* bed+couch+table setup for my own thing! It's really great to actually see it in action. Here's to hoping it's just as doable divided completely in half. I think it'd be really cool to put some boards over one half and have a great lot of table space during the day.

[@LiamKowalczyk]

Yo! It’s been a minute since I’ve been on your channel. Love what you’re doing here lately. Amazing edits. Been here since feeding the homeless in NYC. Congrats on your success. Can’t wait to see where you’re headed!!

[@lamaking1978]

Great story telling as always, you are getting better and better at it. Can't wait to see the new one you did in Joshua Tree with that big white truck.

[@nancydublin9666]

I really like how you built your van yourself. It's simply done, and others could follow your examples. I'm a senior citizen and believe my hubby and I could build one like yours because of the simplicity and materials used. You showed snippets of the process, but I'd like to see more and have a list. Is this possible to obtain from you somehow? I have not looked at the website link above, but I will right after posting this. I really commend you for doing such a splendid job and being able to take advantage of moving about in your profession. I know of another person (an RN) that transfers to 2 or 3 locations, which is a great thing! Some locations have a stronger need than others, and having a trade that is flexible like that is really awesome! Good for you being smart to be in it! Hoping the very best for your future travels and life. :)

[@meaganconley2189]

Love your videos, Dylan! They've inspired me so much

[@jonanjello]

Love the tension rod implementation. Cool stuff

[@Adapt369]

I live the simplicity of what toy have put in your van. Some go over board. Thank you for showing us through

[@lolameese]

I really like the bed layout. I was just going to put the whole back end as a bed but after seeing this I've got a different take on this. Thx. Lola

[@asherselig7408]

Can always count on you for great content.

[@kdrguru]

Im addicted to your channel dude. Every video is epic. When my van is done i want you to do a video on it!

I love the layout she has & her positivity is inspiring

[@divinenonbinary]

AMAZING and yes she's so right. Great piece of inspiration, great van design, cute pup!!

[@brb.eatinghotcheetos]

I love how free spirited she is. It takes a lot of courage to travel solo as a female, mad respect for her.

[@NicoleEliseGrima]

Omg - I have been to that same bar in Tortilla Flats! Memories :)

A very nice n cozy abode . She did an amazing job on the build out.

[@unconventionalforager6389]

Dylan I just love your smile when you close out each video! I bet when you were a child and you did a no no, all you had to do was smile at your mom and she would melt. LOL Another wonderful video. I love the bed break set up. I could see her having a shower in that section as well as a table. something to consider.

[@Westfaliadigitalnomads]

Nice video! Hope to catch with you in EU, safe travels

[@peacekeyartistry4352]

I'm glad she showed a regular height van . I have one looking to convert and this is perfect!

[@melcarter6422]

I agree completely! I pushed myself to vacation solo. Many didn’t understand, I went to your home state…Arizona. Grand Canyon, Sedona, and others. Slept in my Rental car at the Grand Canyon Campground! Found others with which to hike! Met a couple from Canada that shared their hike. That was in 2010. I felt and remain….empowered after that trip. To others….indeed….Just do it!

What a charming home! The only thing that keeps it from being perfection to someone like me, who is nowhere near as young and limber as you are is that it is not a high-top. But you have given me a bunch of great ideas. Thank you for sharing.
