What a beautiful human being, Joan deserves a larger living space to make life more comfortable for herself. Thanks so much Bob for interviewing this incredibly inspirational woman!

@teresacordova9804 Жыл бұрын

Hi Bob, thank you for this video. Seeing how many more steps this woman has to take to live the lifestyle she chooses is very inspirational. Those of us who have the full use of all our physical capabilities are fortunate. My daughter was injured severely in an auto accident at age 18, 20 years ago now. Watching her and others persevere and live life mistakes and all, makes me endeavor every day to live a life with no excuses. One step forward and 2 steps back, but we make progress nontheless. Wow, fear can paralyze us more than physical disability. I've learned a lot from your channel, thank you. ✌

I really don't know why but it really does break my heart to see such beautiful woman in such a situation, my heart goes out to her and I hope that she gets more than just a minivan. I've lived in my minivan for almost four years and let me tell you I want out. Living in your minivan can be very fun and adventurous, but it can quickly turn into a very lonely and dark place, or dangerous depending on where you are. Even with my doggo. From Los Angeles California God bless.

I don't think it would be that way with me. Every new city I would be exploring new things. I would just get on KZfaq and look up fun things to do in that city. I also love trying new foods so I would find interesting places to eat.

I understand where you both are coming from but people are usually reluctant to give up their independence. To me, she can travel on her own terms. Fortunately, Canada is much better than the US at caring for their elderly and disabled citizens.

Well said, I hate how van life is romanticized as the end all be all alternative to housing. Most of the people out there are there out of financial constraints vs wanting to explore. Sure, there are the few who happen to be minimalist travelers but the majority have done this out of poverty.

She's so freaking cool. So many people want to live vanlife but they're not because while they're disabled by their fears. This woman is challenged physically, but her faith has allowed her mind to soar and she's putting actions behind her dreams. May we all have that level of faith, if not in a God, at least in ourselves.

I found your video today was watching it and I must commend you you’re very brave and I can only imagine your reasons for doing this, and one is to get the hell out of the house. I don’t blame you at all I know you haven’t done it full-time yet. I was considering selling my sticks and bricks and moving into my van or into a mobile home, but the reason I haven’t is because I see people having such a hard time finding a place to park and they really get into a tizzy when it breaks down and has to stay in the shop for couple Days. I think if I had a ton of money I would go buy property so that people could come and park their vans. Or there cars or whatever they’re living in and be able to live without having to move every night or every 14 days. I didn’t catch the name of your channel so I hope you find this message and give it to me. I thought you said it was wheels on wheels but I looked and I can’t find that. Hope I find you again.

oh my god!! i’m in a wheelchair and i’ve been really looking into doing a no build minivan setup, and i’ve never seen anyone else in a wheelchair doing this. i’ve hardly seen any other disabled people doing vanlife, and this has made me feel like i can really do this. i’m fairly bedroom bound due to my disabilities and i also cannot travel at all because of it. i could build my own accessible bedroom/home and drive anywhere and go anywhere. it’s not like i need space to walk around, just enough for my chair, hopefully. i would love a ramp. but first i need to actually learn how to drive haha. anyway! this video is so very helpful and inspiring to me i’m so glad i’ve found her!! thank you for putting this out here 💕💕
