Today we meet Jen, a young woman vandweller who refuses to obey her corporate masters and live a life of slavery, but instead chooses to live as freely as possible in this terribly unfree world! She does it by living very simply and minimally in Ford Transit Connect!

Sweet girl and very gracious to be willing to show us her private dwelling. Please just stay safe and don't trust anyone or what they tell you completely. Always have an escape plan and don't open your van to ANYONE at night, even if they tell you they are the police. Just drive to the nearest lighted safe zone or police station.

Yes I have a 2015 transit connect and love it. I have traveled from Washington state to Oregon, California,Nevada,Wyoming,Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico Texas, Utah and Idaho!! I have a custom made memory foam mattress that is 30 wide x 63 long and 10 in thick.. luckily for me I am only 5’3”. The bed frame is from ikea, and fits perfect. It has enough clearance to store several totes underneath, and that is where I keep all basic necessities. I have a 3 storage sterlite for my clothing... I have dwindled down my need for things and clothing to just enough. Very, very minimal...I learned this when I walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I love the freedom to roam, and the transit connect provides safety because no windows for peepers and great gas mileage.

I'm just an average small town girl. : ) We have one stoplight in my hometown and it is surrounded by farm country. I grew up riding horses on my grandparents farm. We didn’t have extravagant things but we had enough and what matters most is that our home was happy.

I don't think she wants to start a vlog though. She seems like she just wants to be free of everyday hassles, not take on more of them...

The pan set is handy, just enough for one person and very compact. I have them. I use black Clips, used to hold papers together in a office, to help the two handles stay together when I'm cooking. I found that the handles came apart frequently, so those black Clips are very useful for holding the handles together on those pans.

It really does take a deep and growing sense of knowing who you are and exploring how you might express it... and grow into it... to live life so simply and boldly! As always, I love how you celebrate each person's spirit and journey... What a dear and endearing, yet empowering "nugget" of sparkling spirit and inspiration she is! So enjoying each of your videos as you introduce us to such beautiful people...following their beautiful hearts and dreams!

For anyone watching: Buy tea tree oil, or lavender or bergamot oil. About 30 drops into 8 ounces water in spray bottle. Spray this onto wipes or wash cloth that's wet. This will clean your body just fine. Tea Tree and Bergamot are disinfectants, so you will and the vehicle will smell nice-n-clean. Lavender, of course, everyone loves, so this is good to use, as well. Bergamot has a rather citrus, lemon-like scent. Tea Tree oil is used in massage work (I went thru massage school back in 1992, and that's when I learned about tea tree oil). It does have a strong, medicinal odor and some people might not like that scent, but I think it grows on you. If you end up having bad odors in your van/car/RV, use tea tree spray into the air and on material (air out vehicle, of course, to dry the environment).

AL CY lol. So, will this oil stuff break loose the dead skin cells? Will it wash off sweaty, nasty, cheesy spots? Seems like nice smell wipes would only mask the nastiness. It would trick others into thinking you are clean. Hot water, soap, buff puff pads, back scrubber, wash clothes, and exfoliants are what’s needed.

Hey Jen, thanks for sharing! I have wanted to do exactly what you are doing for almost 40 years, isn't that crazy? I still have 22 months to go before I retire and start exploring and living with the land. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Pacific northwest. I wish you the very best of a safe and happy journey.

I like your set up, and a prefer Ford's. Good luck and be careful. I recommend arming yourself with a large canister of bear mace. It will work on all kinds of animals! Be free and float like a butterfly in your travels.

I love these Transit Connect tiny homes, they're so friggin adorable I can't even stand it! lol I'd love to live in one someday when it's just me. For now, I've got a 30 ft Gulf Stream RV that I'm renovating so that my 4 kids & I can fit (and live) in comfortably for full-time living. I watch SO many of these conversion videos, I sometimes forget that I don't have to build everything myself from scratch & I start feeling overwhelmed, and then I shut down. Seeing Jen's home is SO refreshing & inspiring to me since I plan on doing things like her, largely using stuff I've already got in my home, picked up at the thrift store, or found salvaging at the local dump. I'm no carpenter and don't want to have to build anything if I can help it for my 1st attempt at creating a tiny home. Eventually, I do plan on doing it all from scratch. Before I got my RV I got a 35 ft school bus for only $1000.00 that I want to convert into a tiny home someday. The bus doesn't run though so that's why I got the RV about 2 yrs after I got the bus.
