I have a daughter who is your age and alot like you. So the mom in me gets anxiety sometimes, well alot of the time watching your van life. But the hippy in me, envious of your ability to experience the simple FREEDOM OF IT ALL. You have created such a tranquil peaceful environment. Just beautiful. I'm sick with cancer and terrible diabetes due to the cancer and unfortunately I can't indulge in this way of living. I so would love to. Thank you Hannah for allowing me to experience it. You are such a free spirit always remain true to that !!!

Hi Rachel, Sorry your health isn't good as it should be.... Your body is very acidic and ur foods.. Turn your body "Alkaline" and all your disease will go away.. It's very easy to do.. Watch a few youtube videos how to turn my body Alkaline...That's how i healed myself from Crohn's disease... Junk food taste good but make you sick/cancer later on.. Good Luck to you girl....

Honestly, after romanticizing van life for way too long, THIS IS MY FAVORITE VAN LIFE VIDEO EVER. I really enjoyed the struggle. You handled it well.

Yeah, me too! I so enjoyed this one. I had been wondering when Hannah would be getting antsy and head back into the wilderness again. That too. Hannah needs her "nature fix" from time to time. (We all do, except most of us aren't even aware of it. Me, my nature fix right now is rehabbing an incredible smart pigeon who looks like shit - because she has lost a ton of feathers; she looks like a plucked chicken when she's had a bath - but has a royal personality that knocks you over. Had a lot of fun with her today, LOL.)

What you need is a sailboat. More room and a shower and full kitchen and 5 beds to sleep in and lots of headroom for the same price as that Dampervan, The good thing about sailing is you have WiFi, shower room, Washing room and security all in with the price when you come into a berth, And no bacon harassment to move on all the time.

I’m glad! It’s nice to feel that little bit of human connection, even if it’s just through the internet

" here we are...together....eating soggy vegetables" . Single most genuine van life statement of 2020, and I thank you for it. Great job of perseverance for the whole world to see

"It was a different kind of day, and I'm okay with that. I'm sure tomorrow will be better." This is now my mantra for when life doesn't go as I anticipated. Thank you for sharing your journey, Hannah!

This was so refreshing. I laughed so hard while you were driving on the bumpy road and it made me feel better because it was so realistic. Thank you

I really appreciated seeing this this morning 🌄 I'm in CA and just trying to begin my vanlife journey. I got burned by a builder, so my van is usable, but incomplete. BUT, that won't stop me, no way. Lol 😆 I'm 63 yrs young and have traveled in my Motorhome in the past. But now, my dream of going back to my free spirit self is slowly coming together 💪🏽Right now I'm Beach surfing lol looking for the best and somewhat quiet places to park for a few days at a time until I finish Vandalé 🚌 She's a 2002 Ford econoline. But I totally appreciate you not trying to sugarcoat this journey! Today I woke up at the ocean and definitely one of the most amazing spot (less passing traffic) Your adorable. Thank you (I'm going to look back at your van build, it's awesome!!! 👍🏽

I've learned, you can't have all the beautiful flowers, without the rain, so I've learned, there's beauty in the rain... Stay safe out there, and never stop finding the beauty, in everything. Much respect and love. God bless.

6:05 i havent laughed so hard at a video for a long time -- it looks like you're going at like 90mph, the camera bouncing about wildly, things flinging themselves across the van the chaos is fabulous

I always think the fun of KZread videos is that we get to see other people's true lives that are completely different from ours, but nowadays very few people still keep it genuine and unfiltered. Your video felt true and real, so please keep it up like that! And thank you for sharing your van life with us🌞

I was cracking up when all your stuff came flying out behind you 😂 PS please make your writing bigger next tine, for us who don't have the beat eyesight. I've no idea what half the captions said

I appreciate the honest look at the downside of van life, at the same time. Looks like some very stressful moments were had, interspersed with some very nice, quiet moments. I think that walking along an isolated stretch of Lake Superior beach to call my own for the night would make the rest quite worth it, at the end of the day.

The world needs more people like you such a free spirit ♥️

cinematography here is *exquisite*

honestly that seems so nice. waking up and just seeing the sunrise and hearing the sounds of birds and waves. your living my dream life.

The visual of you bouncing along in the van, everything flying off your shelves, is golden and i laughed for 10 minutes

I truly appreciate that Hannah is willing to show that life in a van isn’t always picture perfect. I honestly love it way more than the posers on social media, trying to frame van life as a less problematic existence when in reality life isn’t problem free. There will always be some bumps in the road, and I love it 💯

Thank you for the real-ness. I’m living in my RV and there’s fun times, peaceful times, frustrating times, and times that I go - what the heck am I doing? 💕🌲🚐

Why would anyone deliberately want to damage their vehicle going down a such a bad road? Really?! Sorry, but kind of dumb......

I live in a Ford Explorer and girl I FELT THIS. It's so good seeing someone being real about this online. Some days I map out some great new places and I'm really optimistic about them, and everything goes to hell in one way or another. Thankfully I'm in Colorado so even when there is rain I can generally totally ignore it and even leave all my windows open anyway because it'll be over fast and everything dries instantly, but apart from that I related to every single bit of this journey you took us on (especially the "I really hope nobody comes knocking on my window to kick me out in the middle of the night" sentiment!). A while back I cruised some 4WD roads in a national forest and ended up taking a crazy route out, one which wasn't even a real road but rather a channel carved by snowmelt and vaguely cleared of trees by humans, so it was a crazy V-shaped road and I was pitched at insane angles the whole time, and it shook the crap out of my truck, and I'm amazed that she and I came out of there intact! The "I should give up"/(doesn't give up) is real lol! That one ended up being a fun day but also quite scary, really didn't know if I'd make it off that mountain safely. But yeah, thanks for showing the serious side and the annoying everyday realities we have to deal with in the vehicle life! I think the public really needs to understand more of this, especially since more and more people are joining the lifestyle. I'm glad I discovered your channel tonight (got recommended the new video about your lovely land and cabins!) and can't wait to look at more of your work. :)

Hannah, Put some RainX on all your glass. Rain will bead up & roll off & glass will stay clearer

Thank you... Thank you Hannah... your adventures here take me back to my driving seniors in from out in the middle of 'no where'... I have over 1million kms under my driving belt... The rain and wipers and flooding roads and all the mud bring back so many memories... Imagine having a senior beside you who desperately needs to get home from doctors or shopping and you were it to get them in and out... But I loved it... Thanks again for the blast from the past... a walk down memory lane :-) :-) :-)

i love that when things didn't go as planned and you felt really defeated at moments, at the end of the day, when it had all passed, you just let it go. that's so important for young (and old) people to understand. let it go, tomorrow's a new opportunity. xo

This spoke to my soul on so many levels! What you said about it being rough and frustrating but that you wouldnt change it cause in the end you were still having fun is is so true. I don’t have a van but I do have a car that I like to go on random road trips in and this is definitely me when Im on one of my adventures. Some days are easy and fun and others are like this one where im just so tired and fed up and just want to park SOMEWHERE for the night, but am still stubborn to make it worth while. And on top of all of that Im still having a great time, by myself, just me and nature and the open road. Its the most freeing feeling I have ever felt which is probably why my road trips are like a drug for me! Love this and love the honesty! Great video Hannah! 💖💖💖

So I’m only at the part where you’re driving down the bumpy road and I’m already in tears 😂 “Everything’s fine” *internally screams* 😂😭

every time im having a “nothing is going right” day i find my way back to this video. i admire your relentless optimism. your energy is so comforting ❤️

Great video! I've had numerous similar experiences and empathize with the fun filled anxiety of driving around in rural areas. Love how you came to terms with the day in a positive way. A few weeks ago, I was trying to back up and ended up getting stuck. No cell service but 911 sent a tow truck which had a jeep loaded on his truck with a wench (I was south of Delta Junction in Alaska) and he pulled me out in 5 minutes. You get a lot of time to consider life's ups and downs in those van moments. $575 later, I was out and drove home out of frustration and got home at 3 AM. But the drive was beautiful and I wasn't totally upset. I dealt with it without freaking out. And so did you. Important lesson in life!

I came straight to the comment section to see if anyone else commented on her saying that. It was Hilarious! Gotta love her. And thank you for commenting. : )

Literally one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, you speeding forward in your shaking van as all of your dishes just fly off the shelves...hilarious

I appreciate you showing the real side of life. Finding your routine your balance and nook in the World is hard . I live in a Major City and the stress with everything going on feels like I'm going to break. Don't ever question your decision. You have done the right thing. You have the dream .

Gosh this was well executed. Nothing wrong with just saying how it is sometimes. Lots of teachable moments, no glitz and glamour, just how it is, or was. Glad you made it!

“Some days are not all sunshine and roses. Sometimes you’re eating soggy vegetables” Wise words.

the heavens was guiding you with the on and off rain fall!

I'm from the U P and it was so nice seeing the shoreline , I miss that it's so beautiful but I also know how untamed it can be when your out in the woods there , my daughter and I were up there to see the Porcupine Mountains , towers for the GPS are few and very far between up there, we got sent down a road like the one you were on by the GPS said the same thing you did about the puddle, we got a Jeep we said it can handle a puddle , our front end hit a deep hole puddle and we were stuck in the middle of the woods, light snow, cold, turning dark , road washing away under us, no one could find us, finally after many hours a cop finally found us it was more hours for people to come from another town to come pull us out in the middle of the night 6 hours later we got to our cabin, was a great trip but every time I see a dirt road that flashes threw my mind . I'm glad you made it threw up there, my hippy soul loves your spirt and have dreamed a very similar dream that you have turned into your reality , many blessing to you !

That is the beauty of the road. Makes you tuff and you enjoy stuff so much more having your spot never gets old.

i literally love how calm you are going through that treterous dirt road 😂 as if your pots & pans aren't flying everywhere lmfaoo i love it

I love seeing the challenges. What a beautiful way to start a day. And to end a day.

"Instead of just accepting that, I just wanted to keep trying." Wise words that we all need to live by.

I'm watching your videos backwards as I found you probs half year ago. I have to say thank you for being in this world. I love to see someone so honest.

Why was this so funny but also anxiety inducing at the same time omg

5:50 starting here I cracked up until she couldn’t go any further.. has everything falling all over her van and she’s trying to drive calmly and the little note comes up “everything’s fine” I literally laughed out loud

I love the reality of your videos. Shows what life is really like, life happens when you’re making plans

this is honestly the best youtube video i've seen in 10 years your whole vibe is something along the lines of: going through with the idyllic lyfestyle and still being subtly pissed off about it, which i relate with but this particular video is just such a cool window into the actualities of #vanlyfe thanks for being a real person

Nothing wrong with being a free spirit girl 👍🕊️😊🍏🌸

That was myFirst question: Like why is She going so fast??? Stuff falling, You bouncing back n forth... pissing rain!!! I can't stop laughing. This made myDey. Thankhz so Much for sharing this adventure Hannah and finding some humour in all of this. Wholeness n Essence of Love ((-;

You are wise beyond your years, and grounded. Love the realism of this video, and your assessment of your day at the end. Well done.

You are refreshingly candid. I hope you slept well and woke to a beautiful new day!

Just a thought when you’re editing can you make the right little add in the words you put in on the screen can you make them a little bigger so everyone can read them

Omg yesssss these days 100% EXIST. And they're STUPID STRESSFUL. Hate how Instagram vanlife can't admit it lol.

😂 I do that a lot, it’s just not usually on camera

I like when you said "I'm going home". 😂

I converted a city bus into an RV a while ago and what I did to address the issue of people knocking on the door while I am still in bed is to install a video intercom at the door with the control screen near the bed. The part at the door has a doorbell button on it, so I hear a little chime when someone is at the door instead of a scary knock. Then I get to see who is there. The first time I used it I was parked at a casino parking lot and it was the security guard. By the time he read the instructions on how to press the doorbell button he was smiling and I could see the smile on his face. I could hear him almost laughing while we talked over the intercom. I was so happy to have that intercom!

this is my favorite video you've ever posted!

Your little captions have me loling whilst alone in my room lmao 😂

Major props to you for being strong enough to keep going! You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. You have prepared yourself better than you think. The comment about everything is meant to dropped on the floor proved that.

Thanks for sharing some details of the frustrating parts of van life shows how strong you are. Like the way you didn't panic.

Every time you say ‘we’re off like a Hurd of turtles’ reminds me of my late father and gives me such joy. 🥲 Thank you for your candor of the reality of van life…life in general has its days.

Weekend, the perfect time for a staycation. 😆

When all the stuff started falling while she was driving I started dying of laughter I’m sorry 😂 new subscriber ❤️

I lived in my van and traveled when early 20s. I had my baby. And we just Gypsy’ed it up.... it was beautiful seeing new places meeting new people. Waking up on the Gulf of Mexico on Sanibel Island FL., or the Michigan north woods beauty, I had a way to go where I thought I was ment to go.... I would pin up a USA map and blindfold myself and throw a dart... which ever state it would land on I would go buy a state map pin it up blindfold myself throw a dart and which ever town it landed on well that’s where I would go. That was my way to find my new home new adventure and the reason I have such wonderful memories of places I been people I met. My rules were simple, to myself, no close FS’s, no relationships, nothing to hold me down. Period. I got jobs fast and when I was bored I’d be gone that day, throwing my dart for my next road trip.
