After my 28-year marriage ended in divorce, I thought life for me was done. I was a single mom to a 15 year-old, went to college and worked full-time. A few years later I reconnected with a friend from my past and fell in love with him, walker and all. He is now in a motorized rehab wheelchair full-time and needs much assistance from me. We are so happy and life is full again. We have survived a home fire and have a wheelchair accessible van once again. Oh the places we go and the things we enjoy! Disabilities do not define a person. You GO GIRL ❤🎉

Your old boyfriend did not dump you. He set you free to face the challenges from which you needed to learn. And look at where you have excelled. I admire you, Lisa. Your mental strength and determination amaze me. We should all have it together as well as you.

Oompa Loompa lost out on an amazing woman! Any real man would be delighted to be in your company.

I dont think I would do that by myself if I was in a wheel chair. You’re a really strong person physically and mentally.

As you happily zoomed downhill all I could think about was going back UP to get the bloody camera!

You are amazing and an inspiration. You kinda make me feel like a fool. I’m mid 70’s with COPD and moan and groan about the things I can’t do anymore. Thanks to you I will try and be grateful for the things I can do. Be safe and have fun😎

His loss your gain. Like you I'm a wheelchair user and like you I don't let the chair define me. As I say his loss but definitely your gain.

Look at he biceps on this incredible woman. She is very strong, and such an inspiration.

You're lifting my spirit. I have spinal cord injury. We love you

You are fucking awesome my friend!!! NO male is worth any BS!! You inspire me. You are so amazing and this world we live in now, needs more people like you xx Hi from New Zealand 🥰🥰

You keep being you. You will meet right person who will value you for you. If you could walk on water your haters would say it's cause you can't swim

I was a physical therapist for about 50 years and am totally inspired by you.

Saw your interview on Bob's RV channel. You ROCK! Wow your confidence, courage, and attitude are helping me to know I can and should do a few of the things that make me happy, but also challenge me! Happy and safe Travels to you!

Wow, that video was amazing. You are so AWESOME, girl. It really inspired me. I have full mobility, no handicaps, and when I saw what you have to go through on just a daily basis...man, I will never complain again. I am sooooo proud of you. Keep on, keeping on and know that God had got you. Thank you so much for this video.

Hi lisa. Bob posted his video with you this morning so I quickly went to ur channel. I am so happy that I watch Bob so I could learn of you. Amazing. Old boyfriend is a loser. Thank goodness you reacted in the perfect way. I am no spring chicken and I would have had trouble keeping up with you. You are an inspiration to me. Keep it up Girl! ❤

That’s why I started Hike Bike Alike to create adventure accessibility for all including those in inter-abled relationships. Creating outdoor activities with the accommodation and modifications necessary for everyone to enjoy and participate. And, to train support riders and instructors. There is such a stigma still for adaptive adventurers, yet they are far more active than most able-bodied folks I know.

Here's what I've learned about you from this video and what i so admire: Physical/Mental Strength and Ability. Adaptability. Commitment. Confidence Control. Flexibility. Persistence. Perseverance. No obstacles. Only Challenges! Bring 'em On!!! You are That woman!!! ❤

Hi Lisa, thank you for sharing especially about your private life I know it’s tough sometimes a person with a disability. Some people don’t look at you. Don’t look at your disability before they even talk to you in 2018. I had a major truck accident and lost my right leg above the knee, but not only learnt, I had fractured skull brain damage 550 mm of my spine. Fused up with to titanium rods 15 multiple breaks in my ribs, my right lung exploded and had six blood clots in it, but fortunately the doctors could do keyhole surgery and so it back up my right leg had skin graft which was an issue in the beginning. My right hand was under a truck wheel for an hour and a half now we’re going to remove my fingers and I told him no way, not only that when I get home I had to get my house completely changed in the bathroom etc etc life was cruising along, and then my wife of three years six months decided that she could not live with a one legged man packed stuff and left It was a bit scary at first, but fortunately I am a pretty stubborn bastard within three months of having an accident I was independent in the hospital the doctors told me I was going to be in hospital between 10 and 12 months I thought to myself no way I’m gonna live like this. I work so hard in the gym. They released me for months one week and one day I had to do three psych test to get my car license back within seven months to the day. I was back driving a car which was so good. I have a left hand Excelerator and a wheelchair hoist so my wheelchair can be on the roof of the car I’m happy to say I have two dogs and life has good. I also ride a motorbike three wheel canam ryker and November last year I bought a space pod camper which I had to modify a little bit so makes it easier for me so I can go camping. I just want to thank you for your inspiring life and stories that you share with us. Lots of love and appreciation , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

Only a douchebag would dump someone for such a silly reason. You are better off without him and proving it every day! You've done more things than I have and I'm not in a wheelchair. Kudos to you and safe travels!

You are one incredibly strong woman!! My husband and I greatly admire you and what you have achieved. Keep going girl!!

His loss. You're beautiful!

❤I am so thankful to have found your channel. Thank you for sharing your adventures, you rock, girlfriend!!!!

Oompa-Loompa😂 Yeah I gave up dating about ten years ago. At 43 just now learning how to live.💕 Trying to focus on what makes me happy a lil bit. You're an inspiration & made me cry happy tears bc we can push thru, thanks be to God!🙌🏼 That trail looks like a lil slice of heaven. The outdoors is everything… sending you a huge hug from North Carolina.🐦🦋🌻🌲🦔🐾🐾🐾

You are so amazing and beautiful. As someone else said, that guy didn't dump you, he set you free. My father was in a wheelchair so I do understand the"looks"and whispers but you are so amazing. Never let anyone tell you that you can't, you can do anything.

Dog gone you Lisa that hill climb was awesome, thank you Bob for finding this woman

That slope may look like nothing, but the position of the water sure is different! WOW. You did an amazing job! That guy wasn't even partially worthy of your resourcefulness, energy, creativity, and determination.

Love to see how your channel is evolving and growing! My husband and I just celebrated our 40th anniversary as an inter-abled couple. It can work ... but it's a journey for sure. Take care of your shoulders! :)

This video and your journey are extraordinarily inspiring. Your positivity in the face of daily challenges is truly remarkable. It allows us to admire and better understand those who share your condition. You have renewed yourself with a remarkable vision. Be proud of it. Your message deeply resonates in the hearts, as evidenced by the many comments. Bravo, Lisa, and thank you so much for sharing.Sincerely, M.L.

You do so amazingly well, I can only imagine how strong your upper body is. Again, thanks so much for sharing your adventures.

My wife is a c4 injury she is my greatest friend. When we were young we biked all over her on a hand cycle and me following along on a two wheeler I would push her up grades and we would “race” down the other side. We raised a family and have enjoyed a great life together now we are older and limited but I would not trade our life for anything or anyone. My bride was injured when we met we have 3 girls and 11 grandchildren. Girl you rock!

Greetings, I am a disabled veteran. I have degenerative arthritis in both knees and my right foot. I have about 20% mobility. I mostly use a wheelchair and occasionally a walker. Retirement is coming up in about a year. You have convinced me that I have the ability to hit the road and enjoy nature. Maybe not in a van, but I was thinking a class a toy hauler or a class c toy hauler. That way I could carry my wheelchairs and walker. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration. You are great.

Awesome video as usual, your van door gave out the sickest beat at the beginning

That's a beautiful trail & lake😍. Thanks for takin' us with you.🌻🌻🌻

Oompa Loompa. lol Beautiful country side. You’re adorable. Love your adventurous spirit and thanks for sharing this. 💥💕🤙🏽

Love your video. Wonderfully shot and so transparent and vulnerable and freaking strong of heart and spirit. Glad I saw this today. I appreciate you in this world so very much. Keep on keeping on. You ROCK.

Thanks for sharing! Lisa , you are one absolutely amazing women. Be Blessed !

Strong willed woman. May God bless and keep you safe. Cheers from oregon.

Goodness! You really gave your arms a workout! I enjoyed watching every minute of it. I admire your inner strength. I love your smile.❤

You are an inspiration!!! The only thing that will limit you, is yourself. The old boyfriend didn’t deserve you…. 🇨🇦☺️

Some years after this shitty experience you made more experiences than many "normal" people have and will do their whole life. You are great. 👍

Stumbled on your channel through another & you rock,as others have said his loss your gain,speaking for myself,some not all are not afraid of your disabilty,but you independent I can spirit,they're are I guess intimidated by your can do spirit,just be you & rock it in your own way 🤙🇺🇸

Bless you young lady! What a wonderful video and full props to you. Respect off the charts. Inspiration. You give hope to all humans everywhere that we can overcome anything.

"Fear thoughts." Love that term. Perfect. I'm going to start using it.

I am 63. Had open heart surgery about three years ago. Now much better. So have been considering vanlife for the future. Have been looking at vans to buy. Watching this video inspired me to look harder and move faster to get the van. Thanks!!!

The sky is the limit honey,you can do what ever you set you mind to do don't ever let nobody tell you any different

For the first time we watched your video with Bob. We have to say that you are such an inspiration and courage. There's no excuse for not reaching for the stars. You are an incredible gal. God gave you challenges and you are jumping over them. We complain about our life when something doesn't go right. You have really inspired me and actually you have a gift. Many blessings ❤❤❤❤

Oompah Loompa guy must have been dropped on his head as a child. You are amazing. Your story brought a few tears to my eyes. Cheap RV dude said you were a badass and was right. You're a catch.

You’re an inspiration to many…I’m a 56 year old man who loved to hike it really broke my heart when I could not take those long walks anymore. Back problems and nerve damage etc. I will never stop loving the outdoors since it saved my life ! I hope to see more adventures to come !

Your videos are very inspiring because you have been showing an amazing ability to turn a passive into an active and flexible life ,where you are i control and not the weather or any other man-made obstacles. Many thanks for sharing your abilities and adventures with us. There is so much to learn and to follow from KZfaq videos, indeed!

You live on the other side of the mirror for a lot of us, you have the courage to face the other side of the mirror as well, what a journey!

Amazing! Strength and courage. You inspire me.

It was awesome to see you hiking that trail. I can only imagine what it means to be able to have access to nature in this way. Thx for sharing!

I saw you on CheapRVLiving and made a note of your channel’s name. And then your channel showed up in my feed! I’m happy to be here.

Can we just talk about the video dedication to get such great angles going down hill and having to climb back up to get her camera 🤯🤯🤯 this girl is BAD ASS!!!!

Damn, you are so brave. I’d fold up like a napkin origami if i had to face what you have. Hope to meet you on the road some day!

You are inspiring! We all have some kind of limitation in life. Your spirit is infectious.

You are an inspiration to so many!!Thanks.God bless

New subscriber 👋🏽 You’re energy is so calm yet so determined and certain. What an incredible journey to freedom you’ve had. Thank you for sharing such a personal story with the world, and for educating us. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!

You are amazing. Resilience and optimism. There's a Japanese proverb that says "Fall down seven times, get up eight." You seem to demonstrate this in the way you live your life.

YOUR adventure loving spirit ...comes from within!! Hilaree Nelson motto in life ( its truly necessity to have passion as your compass in life...BELIEVE ME when I say this...but your passions are clearly evident!! Keep following that compass and your community that you are building ...will follow you every (WHEEL) of the way! Cheers, 1000 islands Canada

I am currently watching your video with my niece who is also wheelchair bound and likes camping in the woods and taking long trails in the wood I Have converted a wheelchair for her to use in the woods which she enjoys a lot We believe that people should not judge someone else for what they cannot do But try to find a solution that can make it possible We also have deep respect for your perseveranse Have FUN and be SAVE

I'm very touched by your story! Inspiring and wonderful to enjoy your life to the fullest!

You're unstoppable. Love it.

Followed Bob’s advice and am so glad I found your channel! Looking forward to watching your future adventures!

Just saw your interview with Bob .. really great guy! I used to work in a hospital ER, ambulance, and as an orthopedic tech. I've always had a great deal of emp/sympathy for people with disabilities. One of my friends from the past had an accident on parallel bars and became paralyzed from the chest down .. we had some great experiences (we weren't a couple) before her accident (back about 1975) so before the internet, fb, etc. It was great to finally connect with her again on FB .. and remember some of those memories again .. shortly after that she passed. Fast forward to about 1990 or so and my wife and I met a quadriplegic who had been shot .. he met a girl who took good care of him and they married. He was the main man who organized and implemented a large food bank in Arkansas and later in Kansas? .. filling a warehouse with donated food from various places. Many people came to the store and bought food at a good discount. Later he moved on to other projects. I just wanted to leave you with those two memorable people .. life flows like a stream forward .. things happen .. use the greatest asset you have .. your mind! Watching you climb that steep incline brought tears to my eyes! I subscribed .. you never know who you will meet around the next corner of life .. or what life has in store. You're a champion!

I would love someone to share stuff with. That fact that the person you were with could not discover the same stuff and have adventures with you. That dude really missed out. That's life tho, we all miss out on some stuff but can gain others.

Yeef! After seeing you ascend that incline, then watch you free-wheel back down, I thought "HEY!! You forgot your camera!!" (face-plant) Still, you went back and got it or we wouldn't be seeing this. Anyway, really nice vlog! I'll be watching for more!

Hi just found your channel and thank you for sharing. Looking forward to watching your videos. ❤️👋🏻😀Sask. 🇨🇦

Things can go wrong at any time in any place so live your life and don’t worry about it. Don’t even think about it. Never let that hold you back.

I really like this video. It's human, in the best way. It's helpful and beautiful. Thanks, and even more Thanks!

I saw your interview with Bob wells. You are an inspiration to everyone with a disability. If you come to the RTR in Quartzite AZ in the beginning of January. I would like to meet you. Keep up the adventures Bill the VegasWanderer61

I'm thinking that him breaking up with you was a blessing to you , showed you that you can't be stopped

Isobel Lake is one of my favourite lakes! Accessible trail, campground, toilets and fishing docks. Even has accessible kayak entry from the dock. I did the lake loop trail in my day chair using a Freewheel and that worked just fine. Needed a bit of help on the steep sections, but otherwise very manageable.

Hello WOW I just found your site do you see what my self and others see in a short time from now you will need to brace your self i can see well over a million people will be subscrjbing to your GREAT u tube channel I have tears in my eyes from watching and listing to your sweet comforting voice Im sending you all the love in the world from Nova Scotia Canada we all love you thanks for all you give us.

I seen you on cheap RV living. I just subscribed to your channel, really enjoying your channel.

I have wanted to "van life' for as long as I can remember, I have never made the move because I am afraid it will be uncomfortable and hard. Look at the life you are living, I don't know a damn thing about hard. Thank you for the inspiration.

Just subscribed. Great job on your video with bob. Much love from homosassa fl.

Thanks for this. What an inspiration you are. I'm able bodied and live on a boat (Narrowboat) full time in England. You've really inspired to get out of the marina Im currently in and live on the canal. Thank you. 🙏🙏

Lisa you are a strong and beautiful person you have a new subscriber 😊

You are amazing. You did a great job on that beautiful trail. Thank you to the folks that thought about doing it, those that followed through with it and and those who maintain it.

Great job! Thank you for sharing the adventure. Awesome triceps!! Living your best life!

A wise person said, “If you’re not doing something to make someone’s life better then you’re wasting your time.” You, my friend, have just enhanced and inspired countless people. You have done a lifetime of good in just one video. ❤

Thanks for sharing your story and showing us what beautiful is around for both disabled and abled bodies. Keep on rolling and sharing more with us. Also, Congrats on hitting your 3K and I see now beyond. Onward to your next milestone of 5K. Blessings!

Hi, absolutely awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you.

You are amazing on so many levels I am inspired, encouraged and totally in awe at you. Your arms got to be amazing!!

👍Very Inspiring to me ( in my slowly progressing disability life)!!! I was losing hope of being able to still be active in & love nature. Kind thanks young lady ! 👍👍👍 👋 from Patrick in Calgary👋🇨🇦

I love watching you explore. You're so inspiring. I have to use a mobility scooter now and often feel limited and like I'm missing out on so much. But you continue to show me its as much in my mental attitude as my physical limitations. Thank you for sharing your stories with us!!

WOW she is so cute.
