Please share how you stay safe in your van and how do you scope out a spot to sleep at night. Much love to you!💗 I think you are so courageous for living this type of lifestyle!

vote for the stay safe video... thank you!

I would love to see your maintenance budget. Did you set aside money from the beginning? Do you save a certain amount each month since you started vanlife? What were the financial reasons you picked your vehicle? What are you monthly expenses roughly? Do you budget your food, maintenance, utilities cost etc? Have you run into any unexpected costs? What surprised you the most about vanlife? Sorry I could ask you a million questions!

Notifications squad love you. 🚐 life . I’m still a kid and when I get old enough I want to be just like you.

I would love safety tips! I love the idea of van life/other types of tiny home living, but I'm very concerned about safety since I'm a young single girl!

This is very inspirational. Currently working so much. Hearing her say she worked her ass off for 7 years to get to where she is really got to be. Simply because I have so many dreams and I feel like im so far away from them but, freedom has a price and we have to work for it 💕🙌🏻

You are an inspiration. 1.9% APR is sweet. I converted a small bedroom in my house (8x12) into a creative "sandbox" for the time when I can purchase a large van, so I'm already doing the van-build in that bedroom, using the real van dimensions. For example, the floor-to-ceiling wall units can eventually be moved right into the van I purchase.

Next video I'd love to see how you stay safe! That's one of my biggest fears about being a solo female traveler/future van lifer! But AWESOME video this week, Liz! You're very inspiring!

Early notification squad!! Love you!

i love your channel!!!! you should post like a morning routine in the van

If you have a dollar tree in your area you should check it out they sell tiny packs of toilet paper and smaller tubes of toothpaste etc. I love the dollar tree 😂 don’t underestimate it. Love your videos and hope you have a great week!

Oooh btw my daughter and I have a new car game....whenever we go to Walmart or any big box store and see a Sprinter Van, we try to see if it's a van lifer or delivery person! So far we got 5 van lifers and 2 really hot deliver guys! Emry's dream is to live in a converted van when she's in college! 😁

Thanks so much for this. I appreciate all the videos you've done and how much you give of your time to edit them :)

Your channel blew up I found you at 20k subs and I love our videos, you’re positive, informative about van life and other things. I throughly enjoy your videos and editing. Keep it up!

How you stay safe as a woman living in a van, as a woman living alone, and as a woman who likes to do outdoor adventures! I’m very curious!

Just the video I needed. Motivated me to get it together for another long hike next summer. Thanks!

You are definitely one of my favorite vanlife KZfaqrs!!!!

Great vid! I’d like to see a vid on how you stay safe living in the van.😊

One of the best vids thus far....straight from the heart. If ever back in DEN would love to chk out the van.

I just started my own van life. Would love to hear how you stay safe. Thanks for another great vlog!

Your van is so beautiful! It looks so fresh & modern but cosy too!😍😍

I soooooooo admire your goal orientation, work ethic, tenacity, discipline, budgeting, etc. Some RV YT expect support yet produce no content. One in particular complains that her audience isn't supporting her! Be proud of the person you've become. My vote: safety

Good for you!! I really don’t mind the ads now that I understand how people making these videos are getting monetized for there time making them. My daughter does them also for her channel and I know now that people only get paid if the person watching the ad watches the whole ad to completion. Your videos are done very well and keep up the good work. I have seen a couple channels i liked fizzle out after a while so I hope you find satisfaction in making the videos for years to come weigh a channel that keeps growing :) Take it easy and safe travels!!

thanks Liz such an interesting honest video safety video for nxt wk don’t forget to buy pepper spray!

Love your channel and thank you for the inspiration with Van Life Living💕

I really appreciate the fact that you disclosed that you're going to take brand deals. It's super important to keep that mutual respect between the content creator and the audience. I'm happy that you're now going to make some money out of the very well produced videos you put out! :)

I’m so excited! I’m ripping off the bandaid & buying my Promaster tomorrow! I’m surprised to hear you have a 1% APR! I was told commercial vehicles always have a high APR 😩 I vote for the safety video. In the future I’d love to know how you got over the learning curve of driving such a huge vehicle

I think you are one of the most mature grown up van lifer. I really enjoy your videos :)

Me and my sister are gonna be doing van life and we’re gonna help each other build each other’s vans. We love traveling and getting outside and our mom is pretty on board with us doing it!!!!

I 100% research too much and fail to pursue an option. I love that saying “so is the season” and accepting life for what it is right now. I got to get in that mindset more x

You are very inspiring. Your confidence is intimidating yet challenging. I feel called out. Not long ago I reasoned that I might be enjoying the research more than the potential van life....so thank you.

I love your videos so much! I really love your philosophy (you shared in a different video) of wearing your favorite or best clothing. I love that idea. I'm prone to "saving" everything nice for a special day, which does not come!

Love your videos can’t get home from work quick enough to watch this aha :) & I’d love to see safety tips xx

Not sure why, but I love your videos you're an inspiration because you're doing what you want in life.

Yessss!!! Great info!!

love your videos!!

Amazing I just ordered a new 4x4 Sprinter with a built out interior for my daughter who turns 16 next year. Seriously, she looks up to you and as her stay at home dad we've spent years crossing the US in my old van.

I love this video! And your channel. So much of what you say reminds me of myself. Only difference is, I've yet to do all of these things! Lol 😝💛

Your channel is so inspiring. Your van has that vibe that you have in dreams. I would do anything to have a lifestyle like yours.

Omg I love your videos so much 💓 I’m young right now so I can’t do Van Life but when I get older I really want too!!! I can’t wait for more 🤗🤗 Oh btw a video idea: A Day in My Life

“You can’t google: how will me life turn out?”...priceless! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I have been researching van life for 6 months now. I can’t afford a sprinter, and have decided on a Promaster. Of course, if your expenses/maintenance costs video (my pick) is informative, that may change. My ??’s: how many miles do you travel monthly, what is cost of diesel, what is your MPG, how often do you car wash the van & costs/time for that, What do you pay for parking monthly(when you can’t find free) What about what you do to service your van: check air in tires, cost to rotate tires, how often you rotate, add DEF fluid, check radiator, etc. how often do you clean solar panels for optimum efficiency. What did your research lead you to as pros/cons of different Sprinters - did you entertain a different van as a choice than Sprinter?

Very inspiring. Thanks for straight talk!

Happy to see you every week :) and please make a video on 'How do you stay safe?' 😁

Thank you for showing us the steps and making it more real!!!

You’re an inspiration!!!

I really love both those video ideas! don't make me choose!!!

Liz, wisdom from one of my mentors, John Woodall, comes to mind in response to your comments about social media-influenced changes to your life and "seasons". Firstly, there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. It's also important to recognize that we don't sow and reap in the same season. Secondly, we all live life either by default or by design. It sounds as though social media is influencing some uncomfortable changes to the life you designed. While I fully realize that no development occurs in our comfort zone, I'd encourage you to embrace only the discomfort that's in alignment with the life you've designed...while remaining open to new experiences to enhance life and the future. All the best...

I love your window covers

I would love to know more about safety. In an earlier video you mentioned some good tips but just be careful not to reveal too much. You don't want people knowing all your secrets. ;) Take care Liz and safe travels! ♡

That’s meeee rn. I love researching vans and I follow so many can accounts on ig, and i stay up late thinking about it❤️❤️

inspiring!!!!! good luck! :)

love your humour!!

Excellent information that she shared with us. I honestly learn a lot from this and am moving forward to sell my house to live in a van full-time and do guitar solo across the country. 10 thumbs up!

Safety tips! Love your vlogs❤️

Maintenance costs for me so far three months in my costs have been rego and ruc road user charges due to Diesel engine also cost of diesel amazed how much I'm saving not paying mortgage electricity rates etc but happy to watch van safety either way I'm tuning in great vid again Liz 🚐 van life is the life

Oh I was laughing with you when you said "probably more deep seeded issues there." I totally get you! I really like your videos. You are thorough, honest, and genuine. I'm glad you pointed out that you have to have all of your ducks in a row in order to make the leap. I'm trying to do that now. Downsize, pay off bills and researching my options. Please come to Dallas at some point spring is nice and there is a lot do see and do. I'd love a meet up! As for the next video, I vote Safety. You meet a lot of people when you are exploring and traveling. How do you handle yourself if you run across a creepy weirdo? What have you learned to say and not say in conversation pertaining to Van life. If you're out hiking or walking around how do you protect yourself or plan to protect yourself if anything were to happen? Happen as in falling and getting hurt, animal attack, humid attack Etc.

A friend and coworker of mine were talking about a life of freedom and vanlife. She really wants to take the chance to get a van and me on her own for a while. My mother is talking about it for over 10 years now and I think I'll let her know about you and translate in case there are no subtitles in German yet. :'D Thank you so much for the great inspiring content. ♥

I love how real you are. 😂 Thanks for the vid. Getting ready to take the 1st step. Do you find the black van heats up faster? I guess you don't have anything to compare it to.

Love this video and information! And apparently your dad is Robert DeNiro from Heat!

Safety tips. Loved the video.

Love this video ❤️

It sounds so great. I’m here in SC and so wish I could join y’all.

OMG - you look so hot in those shorts I can't stand it!! Love the details on transitioning and "ripping the band-aid off" because ultimately that's what it comes down to - at some point we all have to jump. Congrats on getting your student loans paid off so quickly and managing your money so well. That's a HUGE issue for many but once that's done, it's much cheaper to live life the way you want. Safety seems to be a big issue for many so that's my vote...that and more shorts! haha Take care, stay safe and keep up the great work!

I’m still in the research stage. I have a freshman in college. But when he finishes....... I’m blowing this this life.

Unfortunately, I am just living vicarioisly and dreaming about vanlife. Love your vids.

Love the inspiration! You rock.... how you stay safe for next week.

Thanks for the tips!! Always insightful!! Would like to learn about steps to be safe. How is it parking and sleeping? Do you go to a different spot every night especially while you’re in San Diego? Would it be necessary to have more than just the regular car alarm system or would you recommend getting cameras? Have you ever had an intruder in the middle of the night? Has anyone snooped inside your van in day light while your doors are open?

First ❤️❤️

So bummed I'm going to miss your meet up!!!! I would love to know about how you keep yourself safe. I think you should take your Mom up the coast, California is beautiful, she will love it.

Missing your new videos “ hoping you’re keeping well and kicking butt 🦋

Liz, keep these in mind, less is more, a place for everything and everything in its place .. if you bring something into the van, throw something out... good luck 🍺🍻🍸🍾🥂🍷🥃

Tip for your future van build. Add a laundry chute! Even better, just have the chute lead to a hole in the bottom of the van - no more laundry washing!

I’ve been in/still in the research process but moving toward the financial process toward a purchase. 👍🏻

How you stay safe. Love Fiesta Island, have camped there with my son & we absolutely 🖤 it!

Looks like everyone wants the stay safe info. I'm going to try to make it to the island Saturday. I live in El Cajon.

I would like to see a YT Live video Q&A where viewers can chatroom you questions and interact with you. Great work !!

We want a morning routinee!!!

how do you stay safe by the way i love your videos

I vote for the video about safety

Well done. You can't research your life-great line.

Please film the van life meet up this Saturday. I so wish I could go!

Yes, there are different "seasons" of life. The trick is to make peace with whichever season we're in:) I'd love to know how you stay safe while you travel. Thanks.

How to stay safe in the van!!! Love u girl!!

Hiiiiiiiii I love you so much. You are so beautiful and such a pretty voice. You inspire me so much and when I’m an adult I know that I will be traveling like you do in a van just like you even if it isn’t the coolest thing anymore. It has been a dream of mine since I was 7 and I’m now 11. I love you ❤️💞💕😍🌻🌞🧡💙💚😋🚐🚐

Great vid Liz! You need to turn on Ads girl, I know 1st hand what it takes to create content. Stop doing it for free, no one minds a pre-roll. It's standard issue these days. Keep on!

Hi I just came across your videos and I Love your content! I’m sure you’ve mentioned it already but where do park your van and are there any fees?

Hiii girl omg i love your videos but what would you do if there was a storm due in the area that you were currently visiting or staying near?

A bummer. I live in San Diego but will be out of town this weekend. Anyway I’ve been contemplating vanlife for a couple years now and I’d like to know how you stay safe. Thanks for your inspiring videos.

Definitely how do you stay safe! Do you conceal carry? Do you have a security or camera system? Do you have any sort of external lock system that you purchased separately from what came in your van already?

Definitely how much you've spent in maintenance. I don't have specific questions. I am not really considering a sprinter but may if I feel that a new one is worth it :)

Definitely safety video!!

Thx for answering the mail question. I was always curious about that topic. What about your place of residency? How do you declare that for forms, taxes, voting, dmv, etc? Thx in advance.

I thought you did a little talk on how you stay safe before? 💁‍♀️ well that’s what i vote for 👌 wish I was closer to meet you! 😭 quick question! What is either the furthest you have been or want to go travelling in your van? Like do you stay within a certain place or just all over? Keep up the amazing work on your videos 💕

Would love to hear about your time hiking the PCT👍👍

I'd love to see how you stay safe. Extra security system, internal locks, surveillance cameras, things of that natural. Thanks so much.

Loved your videos

I would love a van morning routine

I think I’d prefer staying safe. Particularly where do you sleep? Do you plan out locations ahead of time or start looking when the sun is going down?

def safety - thanks ✌🏻
