Girl I used to live in our vehicle too. I wish I had known about those pins. We used to stuff towels down in the gasket by the window. Or drape a towel over the window and shut the door on it. I cannot tell you how many times I woke up soaking wet because it started raining in Tennessee and if you've ever been to West Tennessee you will know it rains a lot that's why it's so green and beautiful here. But the towels would absorb the rain water and then start dripping on me. Even now living in an apartment me and my husband talk about how comfortable and peaceful it was living in the van versus actually living in an apartment. I told him when we buy our own house the in the backyard or even in the woods that we're going to put a vehicle back there just so we can get away from everything LOL

Do you ever get bored? I would go crazy in my car all day lol however I am so intrigued by this ❤️

I lived out of my car for like 6-8 months (w/my cat) because I would be traveling a lot back and forth between CA and NV. It was kind of like an adventure. And Zoey, my cat, liked the car rides. I had set up her carrier in the back seat with a cat bed strapped ontop so she could look out the window while we drove. I had the carrier strapped in and the front passenger seat leaning back against it to anchor it in. She had a covered litter box in the back (the flooring lined with trash bags) strapped inyo my cargo rings in my trunk (i had a hatch back). But she usually waited until she could go out to go. Id go to a park sometimes while I would work on my laptop or make calls, etc. I'd crack the back door open so she could go out to play, climb a tree, etc. Or Id get out too and play with her. She never went out of my line of sight.. I'd call her back after maybe an hour or so and she'd hop back in the car. Her favorite was going into Petsmart to watch the bird enclosures. She wore a harness when traveling or when she was out of the car. I went to the gym to shower and work out (which is when Zoey would usually go play and explore the park next door (she was an indoor/outdoor cat anyway)). I often would park overnight in hospital parking lots, or at rest stops (of course) when traveling. It was an interesting adventurous time in my life, for sure.

I lived in my car with my cat for two months, alternating sleeping in the car and camping in a tent, and I don't think my cat's ever been happier X-D He never once got lost, always knew where to come find me in the morning after spending the night hunting and having fun discovering a new place. He had the trunk of the car to himself (without the flat covering thing that hangs behind the back seats obviously) with his carrier and his litter box. At night, he generally slept on me if we were in the car or at the foot end of my small one person tent if he felt like it. It was really nice to have the company. The litter box didn't get that much use actually because he would rather way for the stops. I didn't keep him on a leash, I tried at first but they haven't invented a harness he will not get out of but he always comes back when I call and never strays too far from sight so after the initial worry, I just accepted that he was his own cat and trusted that he would come back to me. It worked out X-D

the way I change my shirt in a car is this: I take the new shirt and I’ll put it over my head, but I won’t put my arms through. I’m completely covered. then, I will take my arms out of the sleeves of the old shirt and pull it up to my shoulders. then I put my arms in the sleeves of the new shirt. at this point, I am then able to pull the old shirt out through the head-hole of my new shirt and that’s it! hard to explain but it works and no one sees anything.

Katie, its probably not a good idea to leave an inverter plugged in because it will wear out the electronics in the inverter over time. Only plug it in when you are using it. Keeping the inverter on/draining the battery without the car being on is a bad idea as well, since if the car is on the alternator is running and that will re-charge the cars battery, otherwise you are draining your car battery and thats not good.

I'm in Australia, but they probably sell these anywhere.. in our Kmart you can get a "back seat organiser" which is just a thing that hangs on the back of a seat with a whole heap of pockets and things. I hang mine on the front of my passenger seat for snacks and lip balm and things like that and they are super handy for finding homes for tortilla chips :)

I have a Honda fit. Small. But I agree, it's cozy and comfortable. I raise my headrests on the front seats and put a blanket on them. Then I attach the blanket on each side above the doors and I have my own little cave. The back seats are folded down so I get the whole back seat/hatch area. A lot of room for one or a couple. My back windows are tinted so it's private. I love seeing how other gypsy's live and get new ideas! Thank you for the videos!

Cathie Dawson, reading through these comments and hearing backlash when anyone tries to give advice really makes me feel uncomfortable about leaving a comment, but whatever, here I go. While I agree with you about her getting a larger vehicle, I also think she could benefit from a more capable vehicle as well. *If her goal is to "travel" then she needs a ride that's capable of leaving the pave roads and accessing all the free BLM (burea of land management) lands*, this would open up a whole new world for her! I personally have a 2015 Forester XT (a regular Forester would be better at fuel economy, 32 MPG) that I'm able to live out of. I can't speak more highly of it. From the spacious sleeping area 6 ft, 5 in. to the panoramic moonroof to star gaze yourself to sleep. This vehicle has taken me to some incredible places. Most recently I camped out for two nights on the a cliff overlooking Zion National park, and just a week ago I drove up within 3 feet from the waters edge at Lake Mead and spent the day relaxing next to warm aqua blue water. The best part of it, the dispersed campsites I have access to are absolutely EPIC & FREE!! Please don't take this comment the wrong way. I know she' said she's content with her Yaris, but her #1 goal is to travel right? There's more to life than city living. Imagine driving to a natrual hotspring in the middle of winter while the snow is still falling on you and then... dipping in.

It's because it will drain the battery while the car is running you have an alternator which helps charge and regulate the current to the battery. If the car is not running and you're using the electrical devices inside the car which includes charging other phones or laptops it puts 100% of the strain on the battery. Do you understand that.

I've lived like Katie for a period-- in my car, moving around to different public lots, working, vigilant, even had tinted windows. I relate to the carefree attitude of Katie here, but it also unsettles me. So I just want to say (for anyone reading comments) that there will likely come a time when one is forced to not only understand but also *feel* the reality of just how vulnerable you and your belongings are when you are a young solo woman living in your car. Even when checking off all the precautions-- nothing visible in car, blocking windows, changing locations, 'safe' areas, etc. - it only takes one bad encounter to f*ck everything up. After having my car broken into and losing valuables and on another occasion narrowly avoiding a scary situation, I could rarely ever feel safe or at ease enough to relax in my car or to leave my car without anything I valued on my person. I could meet all of my needs (hygiene, food, sleep, income) but I was always on alert and this became emotionally taxing. It took a few instances for me to really get how vulnerable I was and how little chance I stood against anyone set on harming me with this lifestyle.

What's the point of traveling to see new places if you spend most of your time around chain stores like TJ Maxx and Target? No shade, I'm just curious.

How did you find that customer service job where you just answer emails? It seems so hard to find places you can trust to offer legitimate online work.

I have always loved driving around my area and visiting all the different tj maxx, Marshall’s, Nordstrom racks, things like that. I just like it.. never met someone else who enjoys the same thing! I’m binge watching your videos right now lol.

Hey! I just found your channel today, and loving your videos so far, you seem super friendly! :) Could you possibly talk more about your online customer service job? You say you love it, seems interesting! x

Where did you find the jobs you do? The customer service email job. Do you know how I could find a job doing that?

I lived in my truck/camper, boats, condemned buildings, etc. for about 30 tears of my life, and preferred it to living in a high rent noisy apartment. There's more peace of mind without the stress of having to meet the rent each month, talk about a buzz-kill. I did this in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. There was more space then, cause the world was not as crowded and you could park almost anywhere. It's clearly much tougher now, so you have my complete respect. You remind me of a woman I know when you wear the round glasses. I love your vid's, there was no internet or cell-phones at that time, a very different world, indeed. I think you're lovely. I too have health issues that no one understands.

That's exactly how I sleep in my car. I usually put up shirts or towels. The best is when it's rainy out in the morning, so you can chill for a bit longer. That's where I'm at now, in Austin. One thing you can do is, to cover all your stuff with a towel or blanket during the day, that'll keep from peering eyes. Oh yeah, about the Duracell charger thing, I have the same one. It does really come in handy. Just watch you what you plug in, you might drain the car battery. Small portable fans during the night and charging you phone is okay when you car is off, but for your laptop or other bigger items, keep your car on during use.

its 4am rn but i cant stop watchingggg

This style of video is cool keep it up 👍🏾👍🏾

Sometimes I secretly miss my friends. I miss having the time to talk & laugh & go food hunting together. Because nowadays we are so packed with our own schedule.

You are the best!! Great info. The little details help in the biggest ways. I appreciate the knowledge. Ill use my wisdom to use what you shared. Thanks love..

Great video lot of useful information.Thinking about renting my house out and traveling Canada and camping in my car while doing it to save money :)

I love the new glasses! Chickens!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I totally like this had to because I didn't have a spot for my dog after a break up. You amazing...

the easiest way to change your shirt is to just put the new shirt on on top of the shirt you’re wearing, once you have both shirts on pull arms out of both sleeve holes, then put your arms back through the top shirt and pull old shirt over your head! I have a certain shirt I have to wear to work and sometimes don’t want to wear it to class but have to go from class to work. do it allll the time in parking lots!

You are literally so pretty!!😍 your skin and teeth are frikin goals!!!!

Do you have a smoke alarm in your car incase of electrical fire while you are asleep? The invertor should be fine for the battery. Batteries need replacing every 5 years or so anyway.

Many people die from fires while sleeping. It doesn't have to be her car on fire. Just one nearby with enough toxic fumes to ensure she doesn't wake up.

a carbon monoxide alarm would be a good idea as well

idk if im ready to make the transition of fully living in my car yet but i feel like this has completely opened my eyes to a new way of traveling the country. I literally have the freedom of going anywhere and not having to worry about accommodation which is sometimes the most expensive part of traveling, I AM SO EXCITED :D

I just subscribed, your videos are such an adventure! So glad youtube recommended!! I like how you talk about the products you use, ill have to try some of that out.

You were totally at the shopping center by where I live! Small world, lol.

You are so beautiful . I admire that you have the freedom to do what you want & live life on your own terms . I am glad that living differently is becoming more acceptable and find it interesting that people are creating ways to do that, so they can expirence things & go places they would otherwise not be able to .

that tray computer/food holder for the steering wheel is a great idea for anyone. I spend time in ferry lineups and it's a great way to work comfortably for an hour or two. thanks for sharing.

OMG you remind me so much of my lifestyle choices. I have traveled a lot and Target, Starbucks, and the gym were my go to places to go. Starbucks to do college HW online and you can get free refills with the Gold Card, Target is fun to buy groceries to eat right away (they have Starbucks) too or to buy makeup and fun stuff, and the gym to work out and get ready. Or most Starbucks have single restrooms to change if you feel weird dressing in the car, you can change there (like I used to sometimes.) I used baby wipes when I felt grimy in a hot day and the whole backpack thing too--same thing! You are organized and super clean. I know that makes a whole difference! Awesome! I always thought living in a car would be so easy and fun. If I did not have kids, I would totally travel the US and do this. I love traveling but stay at hotels since I have kids, but the travel to get to those hotels, I use the skills that I have learned throughout my traveling experience. Your life is exciting and some people like stability. However, I am a person that thrives on exploring and living different environments and experiences. You go girl! LIVE and do what makes you happy!

I use a small blue microfiber towel (like the ones they give you at car washes) to wipe my glasses every day. It’s the only thing that gets smudges off and doesn’t scratch my lenses. I take it with me when I travel, too. 😊

Why not ditch your back seat , then you can sleep right through from the back , your windows get the blinds to have something more useful and regular each night what camera do you use.

I agree. I took out my back seat and I sleep feet in trunk and head to front of car. I can fit a queen size futon mattress and it is pretty comfortable.

One week down. I'm not going to lie extremely hot. But after about 9:30pm it started to cool down and I honestly got the best sleep I ever had in my life. I slept in a Walmart parking lot and my job's parking lot. I'll probably stick with the walmart parking lot. I just called a bunch of walmarts and asked if they offered Overnight Parking. In Cincinnati only one offers it, so I think that's my new home for a month or two.

Fish Face you can get away with parking in Walmart overnight whether they say they allow it or not. Also sometimes you can park outside a hotel overnight and some of them their WiFi even reaches the parking lot.

I've never really "lived" in a car, but I did sleep in a van for about a month while I was on tour with a band at one point. We slept in walmart parking lots every night and never had a problem. Most of them were 24 hours, but not all of them.

I love your videos katie!!!! Your literally goals. Sending love and positivity to you all the way from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ps. I’d love to see more videos on what your eating more 😃😃

Tip! When your bath wipes dry out, just pour water into the packette! It works.

can you reveal what online companies you work for? The job where you return emails online sounds interesting. Maybe post if these companies are hiring?

Where do you work online? I've been looking for online work.. I have a goal just like this!!!

Would love to see a video on your meals. What you have for lunch and dinner, where you decide to go, etc. God Bless!

You are amazing! Great tip for the steering wheel desk.

Love your new glasses!

Do you use your trunk for anything?

Hey Katie! You just came across my KZread feed with suggested videos for me. Love your content! Can you do a video about what your diet is like? How/what do you eat to stay healthy when you’re ALWAYS on the road? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this with us I wondered how you change and stuff living in your car

Its a valid question! I have slept in the car over night a couple of times, one even while heavily pregnant and it was NOT fun lol but it was a very small car.. I couldnt cope not knowing where the next toilet was when on my period! I do know that if i ever chose to live in my car the frist thing id want to do was tint the windows!!

I don’t know if she does this but nowadays there are period underwear that will literally let you bleed in them and contain it all plus there is something called the diva cup which you can use instead of a tampon that can be safely in you for 12hrs if need be(unlike tampons). It’s also way more comfortable. This is what I would use..

So what do you do about an Address? Like for your phone bill and license and stuff.

I thank you so much Ms. Katie for making this video, even though most of us know these thing's, some time's it is helpful, for me anyway to be shown step by step what someone else would do, so that now i want feel alone in my new beginning. I really don't want to be all over the place letting anyone else know that I'm a new car dweller if that make sense.

Glad to see you doing well and you have a great personality!😁
