Thank you! I just turned 58 and am divorced (twice now) from the same woman. I have little to no desire to try to please another person just to not feel lonely . I retire at the end of the year and am searching for the right vehicle to start my new adventure. I decided to start working on self care while enjoying other types of relationships. My children and friends and family are my rock. Single/Married or divorced should not be a label that defines us. I am deeply inspired by your zest for life and I enjoy watching your adVANture unfold. Thank you for sharing!

I got divorced at 23 and knew I would never marry again. I raised my daughter and have enjoyed my life. I dated off and on. Back in 2015 I tried living with someone ..... it only lasted two years. Now at 62 I am content with my life. Inner peace is worth so much. All of my friends are divorced and they don't want to remarry.

Hi Tracey. Just found your channel and agree with you 100%. I married very young (18) to a Navy man thinking I couldn't stay single and accomplish anything with no real money. I thought I could get to travel and go to school and start a business etc etc. Three children later I was trapped into family life and small attempts at school and business did not work out. Then he retired from the military and suddenly was home with me for the first time and I learned he would never be the husband I wanted. I stayed in the marriage, had two more children, and worked plus had a small business. He disappointed me many times but was a good person down deep and I could have done far worse. When I was 55 he had a massive heart attack and passed away at 58. Suddenly I was single for the first time in my adult life. My children thought I would remarry quickly but how wrong they were. I have many friends both male and female but have no desire to ever remarry. It just did not happen and I have no regrets. I have been an avid rver for many years and still a solo full timer in Florida. I'm 91 years old now, drive my motorhome and do all the necessary chores of daily life on the road or in a campground. Need more tech help now but still do whatever I can still do. I am happy and contented in my RV life and keep in touch with my children and grandchildren back home. I sell on Ebay, play with a few Stocks on Robinhood and am addicted to KZfaq channels about RVing, Reselling, Geopolitical news and the stock market. Never a dull moment and many decisions to make every day as you mentioned. Keeps my mind sharp! LOL! Just subbed to your channel. Stay happy!

I am single also and very content with myself. People are always asking why I am single. So many are miserable with who they are with. I am open also for a healthy relationship that adds to my life. Thank you for your beautiful self!!

Hi Tracey, I'm 42, divorced twice, and your video just popped up on my video recommendation. You can't even imagine how good it feels to hear another person thinking the same way you do. There's still this stigma of having a romantic relationship in order to be or feel happy. I've never been so happy, content and at peace since I've been single😊

I am 68 and have had the exact same situation with men my whole life. For the last 5 years I have been happier alone than I ever was in the relationships Ive had in the past.

You’re a self reliant woman who is honest, open, and true to yourself. You are an open book, that shows all your viewers a life that is in the process of always growing and expanding your horizon. Your down to earth wisdom and self discovery are the foundation of a life well lived.🙏

52 here. Been single for 10 years. I had a horrible divorce from a Narcissist. I chose to raise my child instead of dating. Now that she’s 18, I’m open to dating, but like you- I need a real man! A partnership! someone who is happy for my growth, my victories and successes!! I hear you loud and clear 👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️

You sound so similar to me. I'm 57 have been on my own for nearly 8 years and have always moulded to the person I'm with. I have never had a partner that we've had anything in common. So now I'm happy to live in my motorhome doing my own thing and not having someone telling me what I can and can't do. Loving the simple life. Keep being you with or without a man and if a relationship presents itself remember who you are and stick to your guns. Happy travels. Stay safe ❤️

Don’t ever change, I’m 47 and been divorced twice because they tried to make me something I’m not. Be proud of yourself.

Heck yeah, sister. There's a difference between being alone, and being lonely. At least when you're alone, you can do what you want...explore your passions!

I'm 57 also. It's all so true. I'm so much better on my own. Great talk

You did well dividing the roosters. We have had many chickens and many roosters. They fight each other by ripping at one another's combs until one looses so much blood he gives up - or dies. Thank you for breaking them up!!!

I was married two times, fifteen years each time. That is more than half of my life. Both of these marriages were horrendous. Full of deceit, manipulation and betrayal. I've been single for four years now. I am just now getting to know myself. Focusing on myself never again will I be held responsible for somebody else's happiness. I will often start the think I'm lonely, and then bam I will have a flashback or a nightmare. And then I'll spend the next few days feeling extremely grateful. I'm grateful I have anything left including my self-respect. It turns out I actually like myself best company I've ever had.

They say there are few high-quality women left. Tracey, you really and truly are a rare one. Someone is really missing out. As I start my new adventure of being single at my age I can only hope and pray I meet someone like you if that is what is supposed to happen, either way I am truly happy now, truly beautiful and God Bless

Good Morning. I loved your whole video. I’m 54 & am trying to start my own VanLife myself. I’m divorced (4 years) separated at 6 years. I was curious how anyone dated on the road. I am really looking forward to just going to places that I have always wanted too. All the historical sites. Just to finally being alone and in my own head. I’m tired of trying to figure someone out. Especially, if I don’t know who I am. Yes, some of the choices I make are part of me. When you guys started with the pop rocks, I laughed so hard that I almost fell out of my chair. Thank you for sharing. I’m glad the rooster is okay.

Outstanding! I love your perspective and priorities!

Very relatable. Always great conversation! Contentment is priceless, so choosing who we get close to is super important. Thanks as always for sharing your journey and adventures! ☺️

GIRL I can relate to you so much! Continue the content on your life if possible. I feel like you can be of therapy to many of us that have been thru trauma and are now your age! I will be following❤

What a breath of fresh air you are. Stay free and fun to be around.

Safe travels Tracy😊 can’t wait to see the Tracy & Joy show! Hope you’re mom is doing well. 🌺

Completely agree. I don't get why people always think you need to have someone. Good for you!

Fabulous outlook on your life, great spirit and soul, continue doing what your happy 😊 with, totally with you.

Tracey! I've watched all your Advantures and love each of them. I appreciate your transparency and honesty so much. You are wise in your views about dating and meeting the "perfect" one...or near perfect! God willing, you'll make an exciting and loving companion one day. Love you and your Mother and looking forward to your reunion. Be safe and always know how valuable you are to so many. Your friend...Bo Baker

There is more to life than being in a relationship, it's nice to spend your time with someone but like you it's also nice to spend time alone, especially as a van lifer. You are like a breath of fresh air, keep doing as you do.

You are so spot on, I'm 58, and was a divorced single mom, for many years, to an abusive man. I'm so content now, to no longer walk on eggshells, and to be at peace in my life. I love living by myself...and all the freedom that entails. Society seems to imply that woman are not complete without a man, where as, I'm more complete living on my own, than I have ever been while in a relationship. I totally agree with you... stay true to yourself 😊

Oh, I can relate to knowing you don’t want to mold yourself into what someone else wants and not being willing to work so hard for someone to love you. I am 58 and newly divorced, and I did spend so many years trying to be what he wanted. I have no desire to date for a long time, and I am afraid of falling back into people pleasing in a relationship. So I am focusing on me and what I want. You sound very grounded and content… Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

Tracey, you have a lovely spirit and I love seeing you happy. Just keep being you.

Fantastic video. I was nodding my head in agreement throughout!

Oh for heaven’s sake. Your closing statement always tears me up. LOL! More power to you and YOUR adventures.

New subscriber here. Thank you for your insight. I am a 57 yr old artist, and I am saving for a vehicle to start my Van Life this Summer!! Safe and Fun Travels To You!!

I really do like the way you phrased that thought about 'having one's wings clipped'. Your whole perspective on geting entangled is refreshing!

This was so the video I needed to watch. You have no idea! As I prepare to follow a similar path as you do, you’ve touched on a topic that has really left me with a lot of questions and wondering. On the full timers I watch aren’t able to address this because most of them are couples or families. I find your videos fill a void in the puzzle. I am putting together that will show me the roadmap I want to be on. You are very real and you are not afraid to be very raw about your life. I honestly can’t tell you the impact watching this video has had at 55 years old. You have not given me a renewed sense of confidence and peace. I know realize it’s OK to just be me, and not worry about falling into the norm or stereotype that others feel I should fit. I still hope she comes along one day in my life but I’m OK right now. Thanks so much!

Just became a new subscriber this morning...catching your video while perusing KZfaq on 'van-life' albeit I have a Class A at the moment, I've often wondered how desirable a van would be, so I will have to catch many of your previous video's when time allows! Interestingly, I ride an e-bike as well, and have over 2,000 miles on mine now, and enjoy riding it very much, albeit in residential/city limits, it can be more difficult if there are not bike lanes of course. Thanks for taking taking the time to be open with us all, and as mentioned, I'll catch your other video's one day soon. On edit: Also, just as you know, many of us are lonely whilst in our relationships, wondering what the answers are for fulfilment of happiness we once knew! Late on in life, many choose 'companionship' not marriage, with the ability to just walk away if it's not working, and I feel as we age, we should all use that sentiment of freedom.

Nice comments on the ethos of being single, finding a good partner. I appreciate there was zero misandrist comments - just human issues on solving that existential conundrum of finding a good relationship. You have a good head and heart Tracy. Best! Mike

So straight forward and wholesome and …. honest and present …. and love your hair … it expresses your nature and freedom 🌟

Stumbled upon your videos recently as I'm looking into van life a little more so I'm catching up on some of your past videos. As a single dad who's son is a freshman in college, I really connected with what you said about being lonely. When you said, "I'd rather be lonely alone than be lonely with somebody", I said yes out loud....that really resonated with where my heart is at. Thank you!

Great video.....Feel the same way. Safe travels pretty lady!

I just recently completed my 78th trip around the sun, and have been single for the last 32 years. I finally stopped all interpersonal relationships in 2014, and since then I've become very protective of my simple, single, unencumbered life. It takes a while to adjust to the loneliness of not having someone to share time with, but eventually we all adjust, and I'm fine with that. I've crossed the Atlantic 36 times, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper and more fun when you travel by yourself and have no one to ask permission of. Life is good

I appreciate your honest talk xx

Tracy I hear ya, you have described my life and marriages/relationships as I was more lonely in those relationships. Again, I'm 52, happy and content with my life. I might be alone but, I'm certainly not lonely as I have many people in my life who truly care about me🙂 Keep on being you and be safe on your travels home.

I love your little saying about lonely alone or w/s alone. My picker has always been broken. My only relationship advice ever is this " Don't be with the wrong person, when you meet the right one."

My philosophy is that life is to be enjoyed, not endured, so do what brings you joy, for me its being on the road too, so I completely understand your thought processes. Happy travels!

On the more serious side, I’ve had both types of relationships. I’ll never mold or diminish myself to be what someone wants me to be ever again. In the end, I ended up with the love of my life who loved me for me. We said until death do us part and that’s how it went. I know you’re right. If it happens organically, fine. If not, your life is good. Keep sharing your adventures. OMG!😂 I can visualize the T-shirt! All that and pop rocks! You made my evening. Thank you.

As a fellow 57 yo long time single adventurous woman, I so relate and appreciate what you’ve said. I’m ok being single. Too many equate being alone with being lonely. Not the same. Thanks for sharing your ad-Van-tures with us. Hope to see you on the road one day. I’m in NM and currently travel weekends and the occasional longer road trip until I retire in a few years. Hit me up if you’re ever in Northern New Mexico. Lots to explore and it’s beautiful.

I'm 34 and I hope that when I am over 50 I have a life on the road and seeing different places. You are an inspiration

Enjoying your videos and your personality.

Thank you for your inspiring life style! I'm at a cross roads with my life at this point being 59 yo! I'm looking to be able to do what your doing at this point in time! I love your outlook on life, relationships, etc! Maybe see you on the open road at some point! Be safe and safe travels!

I was watching van life videos and came across your chanel and wow I just think you are them most positive, interesting, beautiful person . You have definitely inspired me. I think your great ! God bless and keep it up ❤

Very brave, however so honest of you. Yup, I get it. “When it’s time, it’s time” . Safe travels and exploration.

Omg the ebike looks so fun!

I learned a lot from my last relationship. Enough to know that two people need to be happy when they are alone as much as when they are happy together.

Being on the road is the greatest education ever, at 65 and recently retired can’t wait to hit the road RVing 😎👌

Tracy. Very nice area your visiting at that time. Keep up your adventure. 😀

I'm watching you for the 1st time, just got divorced and just turned 60 yesterday. I'm debating on getting on the road and I'm intrigued by you. I'm not a "wing clipper"! Maybe 1 day we'll meet somewhere. I wish you nothing but the best!

It’s always been my mindset that I don’t need a significant other to define me. It’s fantastic to be involved with someone that enhances your life but it is not where your root of happiness dwells.

Looks like so much fun. I'd love an adventure like that 😊

Community is so important! I love tattoos and also have a nose ring, variety is the spice of life!

Your channel is going to blow up, you are special. Thanks

Cheers Dove! You being you is not such a shock. Keep safe and dinner is one thing we should do in Calgary Alberta.

Yeah, screw that crap don’t change for anyone!!!!!!,,, just found your channel but a big smile on my face. I agree been going on three months now in my brand new sprinter RV it’s quite a learning curve big time but,,, I must say it’s not up to us, as far as who you will find just around the corner,, so glad I found your channel. Looking forward to seeing the conversion my gosh what an improvement !!!!HEROOOOWW!!!💯👏👏👏👏👏

This is my first time viewing your channel and I was nicely surprised. Contentment is a gift most people don't take advantage of . From what I could see here you're attractive funny and easy going and that combination is short supply so I wish you well!

I woke up to you this morning...I guess one would call me " pre van life "..I'm in a camper..my job just got blown away by a tornado..I'm ok..so is my camper..I'm ready for a change..you made me feel good about it!thank you much!!😊..I'm Ray by the way..nice to meet you!!

I have been watching your video. You are a wonderful person. Be blessed.

You enjoy your peace and quiet, I'm 38 and I'm already annoyed with loud music.i love music but I love peace and quiet More. thank you for sharing your perspective on dating on the go.

Loved hearing your take on being alone, got to be true to one's self

I know this is an older video, but I can relate to so much of what you said. I'm going through a third divorce and learning so much about myself. I'm finally diving into who I am and am ready to embrace it.

Tysm I really wish I had had a mom like you if I can be like you and content I'd be happy I'm going to remember your advice out here on the road and find myself to really. Those toxic relationships everyone said we needed is how I ended up living out of my SUV but the longer I do it the more I learn about life and ppl. 🥳 Keep sharing and be safe

Thank you for posting! You and I have tons in common, same age, single, happy, etc. I cannot wait to retire to join you and all the others in the nomad life. My hopes are that I will meet many new people while seeing our beautiful county. Hopefully you’ll still be on the road enjoying life. Wishing you many new great memories! --Michelle

I’m happy you’ve found happiness!

Your story is similar to mine. My son is out of college now though and on his own. Like you, when one gets a certain age, it's not like you feel like you just need a relationship or you're going to die. If it happens it happens but I'm happy with or without someone. Door isn't closed but life can be fulfilling either way. I must say, you look good even when you just wake up in the morning. lol Safe travels wherever you go!

Puppy 🐕 cuteness & fun at end of video - loved it ..... Admiration for all you endeavor & with endearments in Van life. Plus added real good friends you made (John & Keith) & maybe some more on your road route back to Minnesota. **Also maybe you'll be on a ship sometime in the near sharing your craft of skill! 🙌🙏👌. ☮️✌️

and yes I enjoy the travels and travails. Keep on Truckin..

TY for all the videos!!!

I'm 50, live full time in my van. I'm from upstate NY now in Arizona. And yes as a single man, especially living in my van, it can get lonely at times! But... Finding someone that is right for you is NOT as easy andike it used to be! Especially with internet now! And it's amazing, so much of what you were saying about living in apartments and now vanlife, and living by yourself and all that is so much my story as well! Thank you!

Tracy, just do what you're doing in your van life you're doing awesome you don't want a guy coming in try to tell you what to do, but you never know who going to meet or who can trust on the Dating site not what they seem to be never know who behind the computer screen be safe Tracy this is your friend Dave from Massachusetts

We should all give each other the space and freedom to be individuals. I appreciate when people tell me their negative thoughts on tattoos. They are letting me know right off the bat that they will judge me because I am different then them. They are forewarning me. Thanks for sharing.

Great life lessons' blessings' safety' and best of health to you always.🙏

ABSOLUTELY 💯 my picker is mostly off in my past but at this stage of the game as older women we need to have that relationship with ourselves and love ourselves and enjoy your own company and I agree with Jon exploring other relationships,friendships and especially a relationship with family.....

I thought you were going to sprinkle the Pop Rocks into the chicken feed! 🐔 😝 Great video, Tracey. I hear where you’re coming from, but there’s no substitute for that magical bond that many do find, especially as we get older and the “community” thins out as we all get less mobile. 😃 💛

Flattered by all the people that want to be in your company and you should be enjoy your life and everybody else should be to💞 Ty.

Looking forward to more JOY!❤🎉🤗💕

Wow. Your great. Very informative on your adventure

Great message❤ Pop Rocks were notorious for sticking to hand. Lol

Love your relationship with John and Keith! Pop Rocks taste off - drum roll - grape wins! The mean rooster may have to go! And, there needs to be a secure roost to shut the chickens in at night for them to survive the night predators.chickens are so good to have around to eat insects.

First video I’ve ever watched of yours and I loved what you had to say about everything! I am 47 and just started my journey into full time rv living. I have a lot of healing to do and I’m terrified of traveling alone (being alone is new for me) but I’m doing it anyway. I’m hoping to meet people on the road but I’m not looking for a relationship. I love your perspective 😀

I'm just entering my 1st week of van life. 95 ford conversion and a Phatmoto all terrain motorized bike that my Chihuahua rides with me. Safe travels 🙏

You should be a counselor. Your videos popped up in my RV-ish feed and and I started one up as I was working, just listening. I'm a few videos in and...I really dig your vibe. I'm 52 and in this place where I'm seeing what's at the end rather than what's in the present, with my own regrets of what's behind me. I appreciate your candidness and adventurous spirit. Enjoying your content. Take care out there.

like your video:) You so down to earth, honest and amazing personality. Hugs from Denmark..

You should absolutely do things that make you happy 🎉 Don’t worry about what anyone thinks, you are beautiful and life is great, enjoy what you do, knock off all of that worrying shit!!!stop analyzing things and just be happy 😎😎♥️

Hi fellow 57 yr older 😁 I'm captivated listening to your every word for some reason - how chilled are you! I'm single and happy to be, but I'd jump at the idea of meeting you. I have a lifestyle property in New Zealand so I guess that's not going to happen in a hurry lol I like you a lot - i will be a regular watcher from down under ❤

What a joy you are .

Intuition, you are absolutely correct. I’m single 58 and ready to explore my country after working and traveling around the world. I’m in the process of buying a MB Sprinter and learning more about the lifestyle on KZfaq. Hope our paths will cross someday. All the best and thanks again for a very motivating video. Rick

I'm 57 aswell. I live in Scotland. Done plenty of tours in UK. Going to Europe Next week for first time. Your a lovely lady. I live near Glencoe Scotland. It would be nice to find someone special to share the adventures. Thanks for your insight Happy touring x

Friendship is the treasure. Subscribed. Looking to learn more bout vanlife.

You are an amazing person. I’d say women but with todays rules I just don’t know. I’m older but watching these living in van videos has really opened my vision. I’m married a long time and a veteran so I know loneliness and heartbreak but if something were to happen I would pack up and leave it all behind immediately. I’ve already started downsizing because all the material things just don’t matter anymore. I love learning and I’m capable of teaching myself and taking courses just for self fulfillment. The things I enjoy I would take with me and just drive on. Anyway l look forward to following your story and safe travels. Artie 😊

I think this is an awesome life your making. ❤

Nice video Ad van tures, I am a first timer in your channel. I myself am 59, I lived 25 years in US, how is my second home country doing these days, you are a very beautiful girl, we are both still young, trust me, van life is okay, rgs❤

Wise words, Tracey. Your intelligence makes you all the more attractive. I think you find true love when you stop looking for it. I believe that any relationship, friend or lover, is based on mutual trust, respect and equality. No partner should ever try to mold or change the other or have control. That being said, I am still a hopeless romantic who believes that having someone special to share your life with is better than going it alone. If you ever decide to hit the road around Canada I again invite you to let me come along with you. I guarantee we will have fun. Love your videos sharing your thoughts about life. You are one amazing woman.

THANK YOU ! PETER X
