Solo Female Traveler chooses Vanlife in Europe

[@rareanimal8645]

I see a movement of people turning toward a more simplistic natural way of life. We are realizing that once one's needs are meant, the rest is just excess that acts as an anchor and weighs us down. I just finished college and I'll be making good money in a tech career. I told myself I'd by a house but now I am reconsidering.

[@LSantiago65]

Van life is so interesting however it could be a very lonely life. It takes a special kind of person to do this alone.

[@mila.inthewoods]

I don't think it necessarily is lonely. You can have friends tag along with you for periods of time, or you could visit friends on a weekly basis if you wanted or if you have friends around the county you're in. And of course you can meet many people and become friends with them along the way. I think its lonely if you make it lonely. It doesn't have to be that way if you choose so.

[@honeybun8259]

I like to be alone.

[@rubyxx948]

I would do anything to live alone, humans stress me out

[@potetstappe666]

You're not alone if you have a dog.

[@jessicadarlin6893]

I envy the van dwellers... Life seems so simple... But in a good way...

[@sherrydee7880]

The truth is that no one is safe without having good instincts. If a location seems right, it most likely will be safe. But if a location seems wrong & a person ignores that first "gut" feeling...they will become the prey for predators looking for unconnected people. Always listen to your first instinct in order to survive!

[@viktoriatschernenko]

I will soon post about savety on the road. but you're totally right.

[@ml4432]

Absolutely true!

[@c-93fmclarionpa61]

The buddy system is always best - two people are better then one! Plus a mean dog!!

[@thinthreadadvised8568]

This girl is great person. Very sensed , logic and inspired.

[@viktoriatschernenko]

aaaw don't make me blush!

[@texedwards3039]

great job !

[@jackhartcup]

I reckon having that dog around makes you feel a lot safe, I know I would.

[@viktoriatschernenko]

it is, definetely!

[@davegamble1616]

That's cool for u young people

[@pygmygiant]

Yes! I finally realised my life’s dream last year and adopted a dog. He’s a big fella and I had really severe agoraphobia and had barely left the house for 3 years. Finally I feel safe and I go out almost every single day, big walks and hikes in the wilderness. He lets me know when there are people around and he deters any dodgy behaviour. It’s wonderful.

[@marlajacques6947]

lyraface that’s great, what a nice comment to read 😀 enjoy your new friend

[@kitenga8076]

Lovely, nice too se what you have done. I bought a van last year, uninsulated but decorated it and went down to Spain. me and my dog but it was too cold. Now I'm home again in Sweden and plan the next trip in 2 years with a better car. Fun to see that youngsters get away from the gray everyday life. I'm 56 years old and have done many crazy things in my life. but driving around with my dog ​​in europe is my highest wish now. I will follow you. Have a nice life.

[@shaosman7798]

good luck next time.

[@samaraisnt]

she insulated her van.

[@Galemor1]

Spain is way colder than what people boost about..

[@FloatingOrbProductions]

Another video coming in from the beautiful country of Spain. I hope you enjoyed this week's episode. Sorry it was late. It took me 3 days to upload it. We are working on figuring out our connectivity issues and should be able to be more consistent in the future. Keep an eye out and turn on those notifications so that you don't miss an episode and if you haven't seen it yet check out the travel series on this channel! Look under playlist. What in this build stood out to you? I like the slide out kitchen seems like a lot of counter space.

[@paultebuseeke3280]

Dylan Magaster very impressive, I love to have one and i'm praying about it.

[@meghnamedhi8060]

❤️❤️❤️😍😍

[@indeuced6712]

Did you film that in Norway or where did you catch up with her? I'd take that pup over the van any day of the week ngl

[@natashafigueroa9198]

Gorgeous! Can you please share exactly where you were? I must go there!

[@RomeoDeliciousSmoothies]

Dylan Magaster I leave in by Downtown Miami. Me & my 14year old son been watching your videos for the past two month's. And we are so exited to build a tiny house for living purpose, we even desingned 8.1/2f×30wf×13h structure allready. I appreciate you can contact me, thank you😊

[@alanstordal5621]

Now is Good. Later is too Late. Enjoy NoW. Today is All we have. Yesterday is a memory. Tomorrow is a Hope.

[@belizeguy]

Thanks Dylan for finding another unique member of the tribe .

[@alicesrabbit7126]

No, the cricket is not in your room, it's in the video audio. ;)

[@honeybun8259]

😂😂

[@24hourtravellers]

Oh we follow her on Instagram and we chatted she mentioned you guys met up n did a vantour video of Vanilla. She's thinking about starting a KZbin channel. She totally should.

[@whatever1003]

What is her Instagram?

[@daantol1126]

Blah BlahBlah watch the video

[@viktoriatschernenko]

vanilla.icedream

[@viktoriatschernenko]

aaaaw thank you so much! Hope to upload my first video this month :-O super excited!

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

I follow you on Instagram! I like that you are vegan more than a van dweller/minimalist.

[@MsSoozy]

What a lovely van! I do like your dream catchers. I make things as well, creativity is most needed in my life. I am not living in a van and my medical needs may not allow me to be a permanent resident in a van but I can most certainly do mini trips! I have an Astro that I am wanting to make semi-camperized. I have dogs, smaller dogs and they travel well. I am trying to find plans I like but I am leaning towards bed in the back and counter with sink and fridge beneath it along the side behind the driver's seat. That is all I have going on so far. It's all in my head yet. :) Thanks for sharing your great adventures with us. Glad I found you now.

[@maiingan07]

MsSoozy I can’t wait for you to go out exploring! The world awaits you and your pups. I wish you the best memories in the making. Be well, Ma’iingankwe

[@viktoriatschernenko]

wish you the best!

[@vancamerawoman7399]

Beautiful filming and photography!

[@Lotus3six9]

I am definitely doing this one day, maybe 6mos in a year coz I own a house and still enjoy the comfort of a real house. Greetings from L.A. Enjoy your adventures! 😘

[@allisonallison5969]

Love your van and your beautiful baby dog! And what a beautiful light you have. God bless & stay safe.

[@rudycolludi2242]

A really cool lifestyle and a great van. "Stop listening to your fears" is a great quote. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@saab900t16]

Superb video and a beautiful woman.

[@JourneywithKasitti]

I love this.simple life and exciting.enjoy enjoy.i wish i did enjoy back then but i hv children now and priorities change and being in africa i have to really choose.

[@viktoriatschernenko]

you can still travel with kids! actually caming is great for kids

[@dejank3367]

Every object behind the front seats becomes lethal in a car crash. I'm amazed how little is done toward safety in diy builds and also for serial camper vehicles. It's like travelers don't pay attention, so the developers don't need to improve safety. I wouldn't go without an original steel cabin separation wall, but that's just me... Wish you many safe kilometers.

[@jenocean824]

Love the van. Beautiful pictures at the beginning of the video! Another great video from Dylan, thank you!

[@Arbol833]

Great video, wonderful van, thanks for sharing!

[@24hourtravellers]

Hey Dylan, how's it going :) So great that you're still making us these videos!! Thank You!

[@antoniofernandez7273]

I'm starting to follow a lot of vanlifers and I have to say that she is definitely my favorite 💪💪

[@viktoriatschernenko]

thanks

[@gc6929]

"I have a mirror... Which is always dirty because I never look in it" Wow. If van life makes you that confident, count me in! (Jk, can't do that right now 😂)

[@ivyherrera6775]

What about shower and bathroom

[@LucienDeVivo]

I think she showed off her van on The indie project, otherwise I'm getting mad deja vu

[@zoerose938]

Lucien De Vivo ya I saw it too

[@viktoriatschernenko]

yes, they filmed a vantour in the beginning of the year. I met them in Portugal. Great guys!!

[@LucienDeVivo]

I knew it! It's a lovely van, I've got a T5 - going to be in France next week exploring :)

[@sarahmueller335]

Germans love to read. The bed frames are made so you can sit up in bed and read. I read over 20 hours per week. So, it is very beneficial.

[@honeybun8259]

Im German, I don't like to read.lol

[@Elizabethe666]

So jelly actually :o

[@truelytreasured3990]

I am in love with your van! 💘 Absolutely beautiful!

[@davenderkumarsharma8201]

You do yoga ..nice love from India

[@marius_krm]

Not so solo anymore. But still my favorite vanlife person to follow :)

[@viktoriatschernenko]

OMG how cute is that? Thank you. But yes. I'm not 100% solo travelling anymore, but I still think the title is not wrong. I'll be out travelling alone a lot before we leave together and was travelling solo for almost one year

[@e뻔한세상어디에도없]

아름다워^^ 나도 저런 곳에 살고싶다 예쁘게 살아가는데 멋져 화이팅!!

[@ravemachinekaraoke12]

to have a year on the road would be nice, where does your income to run a van fuel and so on come from.

[@AngTheCanadianPilot]

Here I am watching this on KZbin - another happy person living the Van Life as I rot away in this superficial city with no happiness. Debt that I will never pay for - working all the time - I’m ready for change. Thank you for sharing this remarkable story.

[@shawnhampshirehick101]

Get out there and Do it. I sold my house full shit and now travel around F.T. living the dream. Only doing it single has been incredibly Lonely BUT I have met some awesome people in the South& West. Watch the videos & get inspiration.Try it.🇺🇸

[@kbkyle]

I absolutely loves these videos, I hope to build a tiny house when I'm older :)

[@therosarylady]

Kaytrix life is short. Do it now! I waited until I was 55, full time RV, wish I had always lived this way! It's FREEDOM!

[@Mikichan85]

I really like the L storage with all that baskets... But the rest no. I mean, what do you do in winter? Don't you eat? 🤔🤔 Nope. It's not for me

[@apekshachaubey944]

viki - must say..proud of you and inspiration for many of them.

[@lolasmith4400]

I’m about to go on my own van adventure and see all the state here in America🇦🇺🇼🇸🇦🇸🇵🇪👍🏻👄💋🌹

[@CB-fv4vv]

A good looking single woman who has customized her own van and travels solo with a pedigree dog. Never seen that before...mmm sarcastic comment loading...

[@mila.inthewoods]

How can someone who lives in a van make money? (And they're not a youtuber). I guess you pay for gas, park passes, and food with saved money. But what do you do when your money runs out and you want to live in a van long term?

[@zoerose938]

This is the exact same video that the Indie Projects made with her 😂

[@viktoriatschernenko]

nooo! It's so different. my english got so much better and I felt much more comfortable in front of the camera. Instagram Stories helped me to not hate my voice and face in videos haha

[@honeybun8259]

Im totally gutting out a camper for 600 BUCKS! No MORE rent 😃

[@xzhendso5736]

Wooooooooow she's from Dithmarschen (I'm from Rendsburg-Eckernförde)

Does anyone know of another video that has a outdoor kitchen like in this video, but with a demonstration of its use? And if Vicki of this video would like to make one, if she hasn't already, I'd love to see it?

[@FindingPeace65]

Get you one of the screen porches.. Or gazebos.. Attached it to the back doors so when your doors are open for cooking.. Your covered.

[@janarose6025]

that's a beautiful home. I love the kitchen. thanks for sharing

[@viktoriatschernenko]

thank you I love my kitchen :)

[@mr.h5436]

I appreciate intelligent people so much. Good job. Good luck.

[@viktoriatschernenko]

guess you mean me ;) yaassss

[@m3lisha]

Dat pupper tho

[@hardeepkaur8097]

Thought, you may want to use glass containers rather than plastic bottles for storing water.

[@viktoriatschernenko]

I'd love to but while driving bumpy roasd that could get bit tricky

[@rakkrisr123]

Bliss 😊

[@OMGIGILY]

I love her, her personality was amazing! I got very inspired.

[@viktoriatschernenko]

Thank you so much! So sweet of you

[@bat_bro1lewis491]

Sg She is so chilled and nice. She reminds me of the other solo van lifer with her dog penny

[@viktoriatschernenko]

aw thank you! Do you know the girl's name?

[@aldorivas8191]

I never understand why a big bed, and a lot of stuff out of reach, bad weather and you are F

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

Shared already! And another great video - thank you for doing all this work for us!

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

Europe is different, 'so take yourself time 'to adopt and not adopt', and have a break before you may have or face an overdose of europe which could spoil you're being here in europe.' And one of the main reasons why Europe may be different is because all the people here have their social security and a health insurance. So this may make europeans sometimes seem to be 'slower and less avtive' - at least compared to some Anglo-Saxon people? Anyway.

[@samaraisnt]

Southern Europe has "bad water? Since when ????

[@bryandalik9350]

make sure to clean your lens :)

[@nandiniganpule354]

I like your kitchen idea. It is good to have outdoor kitchen.

No frig? What are you cooking?

[@michaelmelling9333]

I love all of these amazing ladies with their gumption and spirit of adventure, but I sincerely pray to The Lord Jesus for their safety just because there are soooo many truly bad people out there, mainly dudes. I hope these ladies use their brains and see the logic of at least getting themselves a good .38 revolver along with sufficient training to use it. (In addition, a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun is also VERY GOOD if it's stashed away and within quick and easy access, of course.) Sweet rig, btw!:-)

[@kendallgreenewalt5044]

You know what I just finally thought of...what do you do if you get fleas (having an animal, being outside in the woods) and you're living in a van? HOLY SHIT what a pain, what a pain that would be.

[@chrisrhule1760]

Great build! Seems to me that if you put a ladder rack on, and maybe a piece of PVC (perhaps a solar shower) on a side or both (or anything really), that you then could put solar up top, and it wouldn't be noticable. Happy, and safe travels!

I never thought about cork for insulation. That maybe a cheaper solution for me plus I would like to put up a map like her and put a push pin of all the places I’ve traveled.

[@sammikelly6867]

I'm very glad you took your friends' advice and jumped straight in. Wish I could've done this at your age too!

[@leeh3568]

If you want to feel safe, give a home and freedom to a dog who has had a hard life. He/She will be very loyal if you train it with love and praise when it does right and dont go crazy at it, dogs dont understand when you scream and shout in long sentences.

[@willimacdo]

very useful information. As far as the safety issue goes (aside from using your instincts) remember most violence against women is done by people they know, in their homes.

[@samaraisnt]

That's not necessarily true of people without homes, that is for people with stable lives. Ask homeless women who they have been attacked by, the majority of them will not say "my friends" it will be some opportunistic attacker who saw a person with all their possessions and no home. That is mainly why it's more dangerous, but I don't buy the "all women should be afraid" bullshit that stops women from doing anything alone. It's mostly men giving advice, too.
