Today we meet Laura who had been living in her Kia Soul for 2 1/2 months at the time of the shooting of this video, and she is loving it! She was making a good “living” at her government job, but found that she wasn’t really truly alive, just enduring life. She decided that life shouldn’t be an endurance contest, but it should be a source of joy and freedom so she made the decision to live off her savings and get out there and go!! Her first thought was to buy a van, but then thought, “Why not give the Kia a chance, maybe I’ll like it?!” So here she is-so far so GREAT!!

Many people want to work and have things but many of us just want to live and experience moments and ditch the things, society tells us that's not successful but I'm happy were beginning to ignore society.

Yes!! I left the federal government early on with no pension benefits. I stayed in touch with my friends who stayed for the retirement pay === all of whom ended up with disabilities such as illnesses, cancer, even car crash-related injuries. At 73, I'm healthy, free, still working to supplement my low SSR payments!! I am very happy with my decision!!

Best thing is to do what you love...then retirement is a blast too. I was raised to work for what I wanted, sacrifice if you want something bad enough. I worked 33yrs for govt and happy I did. Was able to retire at 56....best life choice ever. Having goals gives meaning to life....Small goals, larger goals, but they are yours to choose.

Thank you Bob and Laura, as usual I’m inspired. I’m 73 and have a Kia Soul. You’ve helped me to go ahead and start out in my Kia. I was about to make a plunge and purchase something bigger but if you can do it Laura, so can I. With the coronavirus I think it best to try full timing in what I have just to see if I can make it under these circumstances. Last year I traveled for about a month in my Kia but I had a makeshift sleeping arrangement that wasn’t all that bad. I too had a great time seeing different things. I agree no one thinks anyone is sleeping in a Kia. I didn’t get any knocks.

A Kia Soul electric can be left on overnight with the heater or A/C running and use very little of the traction battery. It can be charged on house hold current or in any campground plugged in to where campers and motor homes plug into 220 with an adaptor using a portable 220 charging cord. I've slept in my Soul EV many times camping with the car turned on and the climate control running. XM radio playing. my fav station. EVs would be great to live in.

Thank you for sharing this! I found it to be very encouraging. I am 64 and recently just realized I did not want to go one more day at the job I was working at. I was trying to make it to retirement, which would have been in Sept 2021, but hated my life and the mundane existence I was living. I had purchased a 5th wheel about a couple years ago, and sold my house, and parked the 5th wheel on my daughter's property in Ramona, CA. But eventually she convinced me to sell it and just live inside. I wish I would have kept it, but still enjoy living out in the country with my daughter, her husband and my grandson, and my three English Bulldogs. I watch alot of videos on van conversion and RVs and constantly think of doing something like this, but was a little afraid of being out there on my own. I also am an artist and hoping to start to do this, as it is something I truly enjoy and feel I have somewhat of a talent for it. The problem is that I have so much art equipment that I even found it hard to keep in the 5th wheel. My current room at my daughter's home is filled with art supplies. Not sure how to downsize this. Thank you for your videos. They are inspiring.

Elaine Ruiz - you can do it girl!! Parting with your art supplies can be surprisingly difficult! Just take the essentials and store the rest at your daughters house. If you find you really need something then that would be a good excuse to visit the daughter. Also start with some short excursions to figure out what you really need or can live without. I hope you dump your job and LIVE a little! Good luck👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you Bob for another great video. This ladies window coverings are awesome. I’ve got a Honda Odyssey van and now realize that I can make covers for the windows so cheap and easy!!! Styrofoam, blackout curtains & tape. Wow!!!! Then the solar panel, maybe a generator too. I’ve got to start working on my van. Keeping “sticks n bricks” until we see if this lifestyle is the right choice! Thank you again for all that you do. Sending hugs, blessings & safe travels to you and Cody!

We owned a Soul that was inherited from my wife’s mother and were amazed how much room is in them. They look small on the highway but get in one and see! The second row passenger has plenty of leg room. Fold those second row seats down and you can get a lot of stuff in it. Not surprised this lady can sleep in it.

I was surprised by the passenger room as well! My mother has an Outback and the Soul feels more spacious. MUCH less cargo, but rarely do I have someone sitting back there ;)

Zippered pillow cases can be so helpful because they can serve as storage for clothing or blankets, but can also be used as pillows :) What I like to do is put my things in a waterproof zippered pillow protector and then place that inside of the other zippered cloth pillow protector, that way my clothes or items inside remain clean and I only have the wash the outside cloth pillow cover :)
