Sad your friend is/was in the same situation I found myself in. I pray in the past months she has been able to change her situation. It is somewhat scary when you get older and consider this type of move. But I find it mentally & physically a better arrangement all the way around. Living with a family that didn't treat me very well. Some one I knew 36 yrs at this date. So I have moved, to another friends 10 yrs older than myself that needed some help with his home. I pay rent...but working harder and longer in a day than I would like being almost 63 and on disability. So I myself am looking at campers. May stay here on his land...but not in the home. It's time I had space and peace and quiet of my own. I will still be here in case anything happens as he lives alone..And to help out where and when I can. I am fortunately in the country.. but in Michigan, which means winters. But this last winter inside, it stayed just above freezing in my room. So I'm pretty sure I can manage a camper. Looking at a 29 ft camper now.. Your friend is lucky to have you looking out for her.

Yep ive worn mostly thrift cloths Ive remodeled all my life. I didnt tell many because i got comments like germs and stinky. Duh? I wash everything and most is washed when donated. And it doesnt go to landfill. Now its popular! But glad the boho hippie with a modern twist is back. I made skirts from tablecloths but I was an ocd sewer not a street type living. All qualified for office wearing. Made mini skirts in high school from Doris Day dresses with asking where I got them. Wish all that fabric available now. I now teach sewing in my smaller retirement town. Surprised not as many are coming. 2 men, one lady. Older. But I seek sell some things only locally. Much of my ideas have non seen touches for ability to use. Like a jean messenger bag, convertible to shoulder or strap with NO hardware needed. I only charge 10. Some say charge more. Ok the locals don’t have much money either and yeah they sell. All sold out. 40 jeans not in the landfill! Mostly I’m relating the judgements when it’s not popular I hid what I did.

I'm proud of Diane for going on the road and positively she will keep healing as she lives her life in nature. I know I'm writing this 3 years later but it would be good to hear how she is doing. What helped me survive was getting away from what was destroying me and I bought a small home at auction and I put myself into the makeover of it and the property. I'm still a caregiver for my Mom and hope one day I can also get out on the road and continue my healing. It certainly doesn't happen over night. Thanks Bob for all you do. Blessings, teri

I am going to start in a campground, to ease into it and get to know the camper. but i very much want to quickly find a community of nomads, offgridders, a new family to help out, live with and heal with. I am so burned out, I am so much on the very edge,... and have been for so long. I need nature as far as my eyes can see. and I need other folks who understand that climbing on and over each other to win this rat race is no way to live. I really hope I find that soon, very soon... before I end up sitting in a corner blowing bubbles!!!! most days I want to sit and cry, but I don't think I would ever stop! so I just keep telling myself to hold on, I will be free and in a camper and in nature very soon. so many folks tell me I'm crazy for wanting that, but then I see a video like this.... and I know that I am more sane and searching for healing than any of them. thank you again!!!! big hugs to you and this beautiful sweet woman!!!!

I grew up with an very abusive drunk mother , I was taken from place to place, I watched my own mother be beat until she was almost killed so many times , her eyes beat shut , black eyes , her ex husband actually sliced her thumb off and I took my baby brother and git help, I remember falling asleep in cars or in bars while my mother was drunk .

This is the fourth time I have watched this lovely lady on here... I am so happy for her ... It's so lovely to see people happy in nature...

She took off her glasses and I thought 'she looks like my auntie!!!' As soon as I saw her eyes I knew she was a beautiful person. Thank you so much for introducing us to her. I completely understood what she was saying about the difficulties of getting up in the morning. As a caregiver to Family members, I'm unable to make such a wonderful life choice. but I have my little teardrop trailer that even if I'm not able to get out of town at this point in my life, I go in there and I am in my escape pod. I am so happy that this woman has been able to make this happen for herself. I bet the propane little buddy doesn't keep her as warm as the canine little buddy. What a great doggo.

I want to be a Nomad so bad! Diane is delightful!

I would like her and enjoy her company. She seems warm, at peace, has learned how to "just be", articulate, and a good feel about her.

Hi Bob! I was coming to the RTR and asked you about renting a car! Remember? You answered and said not in Quartzsite! I did arrive from Key West, Florida on the last day of the RTR so missed the gathering and meeting you and others I follow. I also came to see the Big Tent and other vendors and succeeded in buying some things I was looking for. Rented a car in Blythe and on the day I returned it, I stopped at the Laundramat-Mall in Ehrenberg and by chance met Kampervan Kevin and Panda-Monium in the parking lot. All was not lost! I am 85 years old and have been on the road now since Jan 16th. I am so at peace with my life now. You are right about the healing that you receive with this lifestyle. I lived full-time but used my rv for business. This is my first time on the road just for me. I am feeiling the joy of being alone or meeting new friends. I am truly at peace and have found the happiness in living that I always dreamed of. You are so right Bob. My final years will be my best years!

Wonderful woman. Love her puppies!! It’s so nice to see someone have such joy within their hearts and lives. God bless and surround her with His angels of protection.

She healed my soul. God Bless her and her dogs. 🙏🏻😇

This has helped me greatly today. Deeply sincere thanks.

Bob another stellar interview. Diane is an absolute delight! I loved her shower comment! Lol! Her home is a perfect size. She has everything anyone would need right there in her home! Many thanks!

Wow, shes a very open & honest woman! Good interview Bob! 👍👍

She’s blessed and has a great personality ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ happiness comes with in

She is a sweetheart.. I'm happy her new life has brought her peace and healing. God bless.

Looking at a Winnie Brave for about $3,000. It is in fine condition, 454 engine about 35,000 miles, short 26' so maneuverable. Have a van I parked behind my house to see if I could live in there and tried it for a month and it was fine. I could do with much less and making my food in a small space, laundry, bathroom, etc. Plus I was much happier. Would have taken this plunge years ago but have a kid going to high school next year. He has even talked about wanting to do this which is interesting. You can't imagine how many people you are helping with your videos!!! Thank you. I have never been much of a worshiper of people autograph seeker. I think people are fairly all the same with different levels of jobs, but one of my goals in life is to maybe make your acquaintance. I never discuss with people what I do as a profession, I speak about my "contribution". So when I ask people I ask in that way. What's your "contribution". So a stay at home mom would be raising, molding and educating a member of our next generation, while a "contribution" from a corporate cubicle or officer person would most likely not be as dynamic although in our society that person in the corporate world would be called successful because of the car they drove or the house they lived in. What do you do does not equate with who you are and your value/worth. I have always been of the mind that I would rather make a difference than make money. The money comes when you make a difference in other's lives. You are one of the most successful people I have ever see based on that criteria. God Bless and continued success

Thank you for your kind words Maurice! I agree with your philosophy but it does fly in the face of convention. It was a great idea to do a trial run in your van, I encourage everyone to do so if they can. May our paths cross one day.

I'm just starting with a 1994 Winnebago. We're living in it while we're renovating and its different and difficult sometimes but it's better than anything else we've done and we love it. The Winnebago is a pretty neat RV. Good luck to ya!

That's just a really nice attitude to life x

you are adorable Diane....love that you are living a great life. Jealous of your cute little trailer. Enjoy, and always please be safe.

She has the best outlook on life I have seen in a long time. As long as he is happy that is all that matters.

as I watch this, Im crying my eyes out, I am in a bad relationship and want out, I have no money and cant work right now, I am only 43. I was put on disability but can not draw on it because I stayed at home for 16 years raising my kids. I am scared to leave, in all my 43 years I have never been on my own.

Hello Tami...your comment made me cry. I pray you got out of your relationship somehow, and That you’ve overcome your fear of being on your own. I’m picturing you cruising around America in an RV of some sort and being a happy vagabond. I may be doing that soon as well. Not all who wander are lost. Much aloha 🌺❤️🙏🌈

thank you Bob, and Diane thanks for sharing your story god bless!

Thanks for watching tammy, it was our pleasure.

I have a tear building up in my eyeball reading all these comments and how nice all you people are.

Imagine if we had campfire meetings with young and old alike. We would learn so much and enjoy simple pleasures. She is a blessing

My hero. I am a 41 year old single, FT working mom. I desire to live in a little camper or converted van so badly! I want to be rid of a house payment and SAVE SAVE SAVE my money. Having a small child (and 3 cats!) though makes that difficult, but I'm doing my research for the future. You are awesome Diane!!!! I envy your life and want similar for myself.

Your RV is adorable Diane. Whatever life give us, one must do our best with honor and laughter. Love your amazing nomadic life style.

I want to give her a hug. She reminds me of my mom, and she seems truly happy. I'm jealous of her

Turning 59 in a couple of months, and you inspire me to step out and try this. Raising 3 grandchildren, my husband is still travel nursing, and I want to join him and let go of the house. The only thing I even anticipate missing is having a garden. Not that I ever do that now, but hope springs eternal, and each year it is on my to do list. The kids are finally old enough to drive themselves, so they need me less, and I am getting excited about the next phase of life. Best wishes to you and your fur babies, what a lovely person and what a lovely life!!

there is no way I feel sorry for Diane, I really envy her. haven't been able to make a transition like this but every time I seen someone as together as Diane I start dreaming a little harder. safe and happy nature time for you both

Thanks Chris, you are right there is no need to feel sorry for Diane, she has found what she was looking for. Peace, community, and freedom.

she's the crazy dog lady just like me! I hope when I'm her age I will be as happy as she is!

Lovely Diane stay strong my family were Romany gipsys and lived outside in wooden wagons in the uk 🇬🇧 it’s lovely 😊 how you left for the nature and freedom God bless you richly

I just have to comment 2 years ago when I saw her and she said you could come out here and heal I broke down and cried and cried and cried I've been looking for this video and I just have to comment Bob because of you and because of Diane my life will never be the same God sees what you're doing Bob bless you, and thank you Diane 😊

Wow! Bless her heart! I can easily see how that way of life worked so much better for her, and her obvious happiness shows that true joy can come from the simplest things. Great video. Thanks!

Very articulate and organized woman.

Have tears in my eyes this lady is indeed an inspiration. Such inner wisdom!

Dear, Diane Best wishes for you and all the rv community. Thank you for sharing your experience and adventures.

She is such an INSPIRATION. Ty for her story💗😊

Bob thank you for talking about how small spaces can be healing for so many. I am finding for me it is what I need. So many or my family do not understand it but I believe it has saved my life!

Where did she initially go in Florida? To receive that kind of kindness, care, and emotional support sounds amazing. I feel extremely isolated (I've suffered depression off and on for about the last 17 years) and would like to go somewhere where people are caring and more human.

This is one of my favorite videos. Every once in a while I come back and watch it again. I really like her attitude. She has my sense of humor and I like how she says things. A paid for home is worth a whole lot in the mental bank and this lady is funny, she's real, and she makes me smile. Thanks for this!

Diane, thanks for your inspirations. I am almost there. Unfortunately I have waited until I am 74 . But I haven't given up.

Do it now! I found freedom from my responsibilities in 2014 and moved in my Rv to Florida near my daughter and son in law. This past January my son in law unbolted my awning arms from the patio and I hit the road to Quartzsite. I am still on the road and will not go back to Florida til April. I am 85 years old driving a 2000 Bounder 36s motorhome and loving it out here.

So Awesome!!! I love hearing these kinds of stories of older folks not letting age get in the way!!! As soon as I get a tow vehicle that can actually tow and I don't have to worry about frying the transmission...I am out of here! Well...this month I am working at selling stuff in my storage unit...THEN I am out of here :D
