Van Life Essential Supplies! Everything you need to build out a van amzn.to/3TwM1CN

One thing she said really stuck with me..."when you can make decisions not out of fear, but out of openness..." I love that!

My wife and daughter both survived colon cancer. Much respect for you for shining a positive light on your medical condition.

One word for this young lady... RESPECT! The way she thinks is mature beyond her years and he strength despite her medical condition is something to be admiring of. God bless and take care on your journey!!

She's insanely beautiful, what an amazing story she has! Wish the best for her and her kitty cat!

Such a beautiful human. Living in alignment with her mind/body and soul. And Bodhi

I like how she said “when I was 24” and she still looks like she’s 24 lol I hate that she had to have this surgery at such a young age…really makes you appreciate what you do have

Beautiful girl, beautiful kitty. Great that you found each other and enjoy life. One thing - it would be great if you put a collar with your name and phone number on the kitty in case she runs away (somtimes cats gets scared, I know that as an owner of 5 cats :) God bless you both!

I'm about to do van life and I'm battling metastatic cancer. I love seeing someone else out there living their life despite health issues!

It's actually quite amazing with how she handles van life and also her medical needs, thoroughly enjoyed and all the best to her👍

I think this woman is awesome! I hope she has nothing but good luck and fabulous adventures with Bohdi kitty!

The way this woman speaks is so damn chill. I usually interpret 90% of the people who talk at me as angry or upset. Just really super refreshing.

instant crush, really inspiring person, everybody should appreciate what they have, not living in a fear of discovering what they want. People usually try to hunt their goals but at then end they find out they are still missing something. Wish you the best, Sarah.

I LOVE her calm vibe. Her van is very comfy cozy. She has everything she needs. Love that kitty kat 😊 So cute!!

This lady has a nice van, nice cat, and a very calm and relaxing demeanor and voice.

Loving the cat, looks so happy living there

I traveled around the US in this exact van. Brought back great memories! I appreciate you sharing your medical condition and how you make can life work for you with it. I had to use a straight catheter for a year following a spinal cord injury and decided to hike across Spain 11 months after the accident. I had to bring a much bigger backpack to have room for 250 catheters and other medical equipment. It’s nice to see others making their conditions work for them 🙌🏼

"When you can make decisions - not out of a place of fear, but out of openness you can.... " This beautiful young lady is wise beyond her years. Thanks for sharing :)

And yes! Thank you for speaking to the simplicity of Van life and not the whole “Instagram” story bs

such a charming, positive, beautiful young woman ... thanks for sharing this story

What a special soul and love her van. Simple and true.

Gorgeous, intelligent, sensitive, wise, well-spoken young lady living the dream with her adorable kitty 😻 Good luck in all you do!!

Her favorite quote .."I want to live my life like a river surprised by its own unfolding.." John O'Donnahue, Irish Poet.. Beautiful

she's got a great chilled out vibe.

So much respect! I'm one of those people that's more afraid of letting go that structure, this is really is inspirational! And that kitty!

She's adorable & I love her vibe. You can tell she's very at peace with herself & her lifestyle. Also appreciate the fact that her van is humble, functional, lived-in, and doesn't look like it was built for Instagram. lol Pretty insightful look into an authentic #vanlife lifestyle.

A dear friend living with Crohn’s disease mad3 the decision to get the surgery last year, and it’s been life changing for her. She’s finally able to travel, and is enjoying new freedom. Happy travels to you!

I think I just fell in love with a girl with an ostomy bag. What a spirit... I could listen to her voice for the rest of my life non-stop.

I would love to have a friend like Sarah. You cannot but love her. Good luck to her!

Wow. She is one of the most articulate and well-spoken people I have ever heard, period. Living in a van with her condition says volumes about the kind of person she is - I wonder if her middle name is perseverance? Her nickname has to be courage. Wow. The van is cool, now - a little TLC and it would be even better. What a wonderful human being! Thank you for sharing your life with us - you're an inspiration.

From meeting in person, to watching you here. The feeling of serenity arises when listening to you speak, thank you Sarah for being a loving example of calm. Much love, Jupiter Galactic

Having the cat 🐈 is definitely the cutest final touch. And very practical too - think of all of of the pests it gets rid off.

With the cost of living nowadays I'm thinking about it 🤔

This girl is a whole vibe. She has the calm and content demeanor that I’ve always admired in others and strive to achieve for myself. Thank you for sharing

So beautiful, so calm, down to earth - she's a sweetheart!

I did van life with my gf in 2017 to 2018 in Chicago. Your van is amazing, I had a stealth van out of a 2004 Chevy Astro van awd. I gutted it and put a lot of work into the van inside, I put a 2 inch lift kit and we went everywhere, you definitley get some people that ask " you live in a van?" We had an apartment I let my friend rent it, We had a blast. People over think this, the best advice I can give is, just do it, Thank you for sharing your van.

So you had colon cancer, that is rough at such a young age. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I lost my daughter to cancer as well, and she was in her mid 30's. Much respect to you for being tough and setting your priorities right. You have a beautiful van and a lovely cat. You are very good looking too! The issue with the water heater pilot light going off - there is often a lot of debris like ash and soot clogging the flues. Bang on them gently and use canned air to blow out the flues. There is a spider that likes the smell of propane and it could have built a web in there. Blow it all out and make sure the thermocouple is placed correctly near the flame. Do the same thing for your fridge, which runs on propane. It gets blocked easily. The water heater may need to be flushed out with vinegar to remove scale inside so it can work efficiently. There are KZfaq videos on that. Either its an Atwood or Surburban. The Suburban needs a new anode every year - you need to check. The Atwood does not. You may also need a new Thermostat Assembly - this one is an easy fix. If this malfunctions, heater won't work. These are standard maintenance issues that you have to learn to do. Make sure your propane tank (if its a mounted one) is certified as being still functional with no safety issues. Don't use workarounds for hot water. You deserve a nice hot shower . RVs like houses, need maintenance.

Poor girl, hope she stays strong with her illness, I'm Extremely sick for past 4 years, just waiting for the day I kick the bucket now sadly. I wish her and her fur baby the ABSOLUTE BEST OF LUCK AND HEALTH ❤❤❤❤😊🇺🇸

I love how you have a good size fridge & stove, even the fan above the stove. 😊👍

This young lady is absolutely brilliant, strong and has a wonderful heart. She is also extremely wise for a young girl. What an inspiration good on her 🙏🙏🙏

Refreshing to see someone so real and raw compared to the caked up ladies all over social media. keep doing you

I used to think people who lived like this were just avoiding being responsible adults. But as I got older, I feel like, if this is what draws your heart and spirit, I think you should go for it. And besides, anyone who has a cat as a travel partner has to be a decent person! I had a cat who was my travel partner across the country for many years until he passed away in 2018. I think this girl should journal or share her story and adventures online. If she doesn’t already. This country has so many beautiful places most of us never see anymore. 👍👍👍

Love the van I have had a colostomy for 9 yrs when I get depressed I remind myself there are much younger people who has one. I am lucky to have survived Cancer. I am going to enjoy my van like.

Seen other videos were people go ‘camping’ with over $100,000 worth of gear. Hardly a struggle. Usually I do not care for such videos, but this video is very refreshing. Godspeed, Miss, and travel safely.

Gorgeous independent young lady, I wish you all the best on the rest of your van adventures!

I am truly inspired by her insights and inner calm. Thank you, Sarah, for reframing what I was feeling were my “have to’s” before I could start vanlife. I hope you are having a wonderful experience at the ashram.

What a sweet lovely young lady, she reminds me of the cottage fairy... they have such a sweet gentle soul, I think your van is lovely, it has a lot of charm... nice to see someone being honest and happy in life, thank you for sharing, I wish I had done what your doing when I was younger Makes a huge difference in life to see what's around you and to learn who you are in life... God bless you, Continue on your journey in life, it sounds wonderful We need more gentle calm honest people like you, in this hectic world we all live in ❤

It's so awesome and inspiring to see someone live a happy life like this without having started out with a 100k high-tech self made super-van which would require years of saving and/or engineering/carpenter /electrician /mechanic - skills that for me is so far out that it makes it feel utopian. Thank you, and God bless 🙏 Bonus for kitty, I could not live without kitties, and she looks so happy! Thank you 💜

Great video! You seem so articulate and amazing and down to earth. Someone that most people would be friends with.

This is my ideal for life as a limited income retiree. I don’t feel the need to be tied to one place anymore and I want to see things and meet people, share stories and just go with the flow, as I have never been able to before due to responsibilities. Thank you for a realistic look at this life.

Wow you never know what people are living with. I love how real she is.

You are a wonderful, beautiful and amazing. Your van truly is a reflection of the simplicity and calmness that comes across in your personality. Your demeanor gives off such positive energy. You handle your life in all its aspects with grace. I could go on and on but I hope you continue to thrive in all aspects of your life. May God bless you and keep you. And I love your cat!

For crying out loud, this woman is a one in a million! I won't fly out of EU but swear to god unless she's like militantly single, there's one insanely happy couple that will eventually happen!

Proud of you. Praying for your continued health. You are very empowering

I could tell right away that she had a life event.....I could feel it. Once you go through something and push forward you become more understanding and compassionate to everything thats around you and you can see that ease of acceptance in her smile. Wish she was on KZfaq 🚌

What an incredible person! I've lived in Canada for 12 years but unfortunately not many people I knew there had this understanding of life.

This girl is a whole vibe and absolutely stunning

Her van is pretty nice for how old it is. I love her kitty. Nice bathroom! I Have been living in my 1994 Winnebago Warrior class A with my little dog Tinkerbell for 4 years. I decided to live full time on the road after I beat Kidney Cancer. I also have congestive heart failure and I have never regretted changing my life and filming my adventures. I am living my dream! I will be 61 this month and excited every day to be alive! Congratulations on going out into this life style even with your medical needs. You are amazing and continue to live life to the fullest!

Such beautiful energy this woman has. Relaxed, reflective and wise. Also really loved her van and how it's all put together. Looks like she has a sweet set up from which to enjoy and dive into this indescribable endless mystery (that was given the label "life"). Lovely!

She should have her own channel. She would do very well imo. Very likable person.

Very good idea. I feel like I'm wasting my life working every day in a warehouse. You are truly living life the way your way. Take care and good luck with your future.

Fair play to her, its inspiring to see such a positive attitude. She seems like a person who values the important things.

I love her energy. Such a cute van, too. Love the layout. In fact, it was similar to what I've envisioned for my own van build so I'm grateful to see this one. Thank you for sharing and many happy travels to you and your fuzzy co-pilot.

This young lady is a beautiful soul. God bless her. The world needs more people like her. Cheers to your future adventures and journeys lovely lady.

I'm working to transition to van-life and also have an ostomy. A full bath is a must. Love this van and its layout. Thx for sharing and bravo on the fitness activities she maintains!

Wonderful van - the layout is excellent. Very calm and peaceful person, I needed to hear everything she said in this video! Thanks.

I have medical conditions of my own, and it's very useful for me to see a person like her going for what she wants. This girl is attractive in the ways that matter, kind of crushing on her. seems like a good person.

They should do a follow up in 15 years. Would love to see how this lifestyle pans out.

This was lovely to watch. My best to Sarah, and you! 😃👋❤️

Well done girl for not letting your medical needs rule your life. My wife is partly disabled and functions as well as any other female and better than some, she just gets on with it. Love that you travel with a cat instead of the dog that most vanlifers seem to have, that can be good friends once they have trained you right!

Super authentic soul✨🙏🏼thanks for sharing your journey and I especially resonate with what you mentioned regarding vanlife and the Instagram image of perfection. Start wherever your at and less is more. The consumerist mentality is destroying our planet. I commend you for being a part of the solution and not the problem 💛🥂

Your an amazing girl Sarah doing van life with your condition and such a positive attitude. Really heart warming x

As an introverted traveler, this is exactly why I do part-time Van Life in my Roatrek Zion RV---while teaching online. Love my hubby, but it's my home away from home when I solo travel 🧡 or want to meet up with other ladies to camp with.

A very rounded and mature young lady. Despite everything that she has suffered health wise she is always positive. Kudos to her. I pray she isn’t lonely. I’m sure she isn’t. Stay safe young lady.

This lady seems genuine and grounded.. I hope to meet people like her on the road !

Thanks for sharing some of your story and a glimpse at your van life! Great video. You are courageous and an inspiration to folks like me. 😊

A fascinating watch and obviously such a free spirit. Good luck and good health for the future Sarah (and Bodhi).

Sarah is cool as hell! I love this woman’s drive and spirit. I’d chill with her if I ran into her during my travels as well. Wishing you all the best, Sarah. Thank you for sharing your story with us fellow van lifers. Full-timers and part-timers. 🙂

She's incredible. There is such a peace about her. Love that she is living her life on her terms.

Such a beautiful soul. I hope her life is filled with comfort and happiness.

Awesome van! I feel your suffering as I have dealt with UC for over 10 years. I hope the surgery made your life great ! The plane is in Nanton Alberta! nice! Far from the island

I am a physical therapist starting travel therapy at the end of this month. This video spoke to me! My biggest concerns with getting a van has been my cat and the fact that I am not handy mechanically at all. She makes me feel like I can take this on. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful perspective on life my friend.

Wishing you safe travels and healing! you're a wonderful, beautiful, intelligent, divine woman! ☮️❣️🌞

You are truly free person. You are not slave as most of us are. To work constant shifts, for low paycheck. You can drive, have time for yourself, and have that peace. Wonderful.

Impressed with "how home'y" this van looks (and her ultra relaxed persona).

You are an amazing young woman. Your van looks so cozy and it just proves that we don't need all those material things in our life. I wish you the best of luck and stay safe.

What a brave and sweet person. Totally inspiring.

what a lovely human being. may God watch over her journeys

wow, love at first sight. she is so beautiful, so cute, so innocent. I wish she was mine. That woman is really lucky to have such a docile pet, mine would literally turn a couch into a desk

I've been watching a lot of van life videos recently. This is by far my favorite. Wonderful, centered, independent woman with the best van ever: comfortable and homey. And of course the cat. Love the cat. I wish you the very best in life's journey.

you're amazing for doing what you want to do. love your view on life

Love how she seems so well-spoken and intellectual, also knows her way around by the looks of it. Honestly wife material. Her future partner will be so lucky!

You are an inspiring young woman. It takes knowledge, courage, and optimism to work with your medical needs and still be thriving spiritually and emotionally as well. I wish you good health and safety out on the road. Enjoy your life!

I've changed the carburetor on a similar Dodge van... it is not easy... and I'm a builder of competitive race cars... Kudos to Sarah... You must have peace of mind to have taken on this technical task. May the power of the universe continue to strengthen you

I love your fan and your kitty. You're an amazing person. You've learned so much you come so far and you have so many more adventures ahead of you it sounds like you have an excellent attitude. I like the way your van is designed. You don't need everything that people seem to be putting in their van and all the cabinetry and all of the electrical and digital and so forth. When you can afford it I think the solar panels would be a great addition. I just really like the way you've done it. Congratulations 👏🎉. Keep safe & enjoy life's challenges & blessings 🙏😺

Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose. Janis Joplin 'Me and Bobby McGee'. You may not have a lot material-wise, but you're freer than anybody else. Keep going girl, God will guide your way through all the darkness on the road as he had guided Jacob.

Your definitely a kindred spirit. I like what you said about openness to experience throughout and listening to your intuition. Cool 😺 too!

Love her down to earth attitude that you don't need a $60K Sprinter van, just do it, basically. You'll get through it, regardless. Good healthy perspective.

Sarah the cat and the van is just beautiful

As a fellow Van lifer with a Colostomy bag, I can say it actually feels like it’s EASIER since I’ve gotten the bag to pull off van life in general 🙈
