Travelling K - RV & Homestead
New Zealand
Registrace 4. 04. 2012
I'm Travelling K. I started off living and travelling in a caravan around New Zealand on my own. I met a fella along the way. We are now off grid living and homesteading with a baby boy. Life has a funny way of changing on you.
My channel is about the RV experience AND homesteading. I share what RVing is like - the good and the bad, the tips I've learnt along the way, plus the sights I see. I also share what we're learning through our homesteading experience, from sorting out water and power, to starting an owner-builder home.

SLOOOW House Build - Will We Ever Move In?
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 6 měsíci
I do feel like this house build will never be finished. Hayden was aiming to finish the outside of the house before he started his event season. But seemed to slow right down and didn't finish the outside in time. This made me worry. We need to get the house signed off before he can start again in March. I desperately need to move into at least the living space before winter. I honestly can not...
Uneven & Unsafe! Caravan Suspension Woes
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 6 měsíci
We notice that the caravan is leaning down on one side. I take it to a caravan repair shop in Taupo where they say I'm very lucky I didn't get a burst tyre! They say the suspension is the issue and they'll need to take it off and sent away to be repaired. Afterwards, we stay at a campground nearby and have a summer holiday! ………..

Transforming a Paddock into a Bountiful Garden
zhlédnutí 3,7KPřed 7 měsíci
Two years ago this was just a paddock. I have slowly chipped away adding trees, but really got going this gardening season and I feel like its paid off! I've done a lot of black plastic on the ground to kill off the weeds. Then cardboard and top soil with compost to jump start the garden. It's a mix of food forest and vegetable garden. ………..

Something slightly different! I was approached by AlgoLaser to make a video of their product. It looked to fun to say no to! I've never used a laser cutter or engraver before, but found it easy to learn. I've still got so many more products I want to make! The hardest will be train tracks for Reese... still learning how to do this one. Here's a link to their product website if you're curious (h...

Your amazing karen💓 cant wait to see the end result of this build. What an achievement to date, well done you. You will look back on this time in your life and see such personal growth in yourself. God bless you girl. 🙏❤
You are progressing nicely
Aaah well done to you 🎉 your home is looking absolutely fantastic, and it’s so good to see you in better spirits 😊 I cannot wait to see how you progress… best of luck to you ☺️ Ps: I have to say it was so nice to see your face pop up on my YT home, I’m always looking forward to your updates 😎
So good to see you back. Do I dare say that you actually look happier and more motivated? You are such an inspiration xx
Hi Karen, glad to see you’re progressing well with the house. I’ve followed you for a few years but rarely comment. One of the things I like most about your videos is the changing and opposite seasons to mine here in the UK. I hope you’re surviving through the winter in NZ. We’re coming to the end of summer here (such as it has been 🙂) going into Autumn here and Spring for you. I find watching the opposite seasons in NZ rather soothing and relaxing knowing that a changing season is never far away. Thank you
You should be so proud of yourself, you're doing amazing!
Lovely to see you back, your courage is inspiring. Kia kaha
You are doing an awesome job❤
The one thing I first admired about you was your problem solving skill, your independent way of managing your life. You approach all of your challenges diligently. I have for yrs enjoyed you pushing forward with curiosity. I am so sorry that the situation with you has changed to put you back into facing your challenges independently. I have so much faith in your abilities. Well done on your forward motion. 🙏❤️💐
Nice to see you back. Take as little or as much time as you need - we will be here 😊
Good to see this video Karen, and that you're coping with things very well. We understand that there'll be ups and downs but keep focused on that lovely dream home. I admire your DIY learning skills. Hope you are able to reach at least that minimum for winter. ❤
Soon this project/ housebuild will be a lovely home for you and your wee man. Amazing effort❤
Great video no click bait as from other Lady CZcamsrs good honest stuff stay strong and safe Dave in the UK
I’ve been waiting for your vlog. I knew that you’d be back and getting on with things. I see this vlog is from April and I hope your winter was a good one for you! I’m looking forward to your future projects.
If the screws hold the roof up job done lol dont stress. Good on you for giving things a go.
Yay your back Karen! Good to see how you are and so great seeing you focusing on the house,glad you have a friend helping too. So exciting seeing the progress of the house.
You are doing great, one step at a time. Best of Wishes, Ngaa mihinui
Good for you
Thanks!
Woohoo go you! Thankyou for sharing your vulnerability and encouraging others to get help as you did. He wahine toa koe. You are a strong and capable woman. Kia kaha Karen / stay strong.
You have my sympathy with a generator which does not want to start easily. So much for the "smart choke". My generator has manual choke and also has battery start. I am fortunate that my generator so far starts in a couple of seconds, then I turn off the choke. I hope you are able to figure out a repeatable process for getting the generator started. As you stated, the engine was eventually flooded. If this happens, it is faster to remove the spark plug and dry it out.
Lovely job We watched 6am Tom and Tracey Invercargill nz
I am so full of admiration for you Karen. You have come such a long way since I met you in London a few years ago. I’m sending you a virtual pat on the back for undertaking this task. I know it hasn’t been easy and I’m sure it still isn’t but wow, incredible that you can even think of tackling it. Super impressive
Your doing great 👍
❤ Karen..glad you are back..and in charge .off Your House. If you can..separate your investment from 'anyone else'. Making CZcams videos can be a path to financial independence . So followers..Like❤ Subscribe ✅. And hit that notification bell 🔔
So good to hear from you Karen. You know what they say girl: “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger”. When this build is finished, you’ll be able to say “I did this” and so you will have. I can’t tell you how much good luck I wish for you (I’m sure that goes for many of your supporters). Sending you so much support & CZcams hugs. Keep strong Karen & much love to wee Reece 💜
Lovely to see you back and all you have achieved so far at a very difficult time. Hope Reece is doing well. You are stronger now and are a real inspiration. I hope you get your biggest dream and be in the house before winter starts in ernest. Look forward to the next update ❤
Yes, she's back!! The house looks great, you look well, and it's great to see you. I've told my daughters about you, and what you are achieving. We all think you are brilliant.
go girl its looking good
Great to see you back !
You are looking the happiest I have seen you for a long time
Great to see you back 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Nice to see you back on YT Karen you are so brave picking yourself up. Is your brother still living with you on the land ?
Yes he is! Glad he’s here
Nice to see you back with us. You're doing a great job. Can your brother help you to get some of the jobs done so that you and Reece can move in quicker?
He’s not really a handy man. But been so helpful in other ways.
Go on girl.❤
Good to see you back. I hope you are doing well. Take care.
Nice to see you back Karen, we missed you. Keep up the good work.
How nice to see your videos again I have missed them, your house building is very impressive looking forward to seeing your progress 🎉 here's some flowers to keep you going.John
It’s wonderful to see you back sharing Karen and to see how you are pushing through with your house build with resilience and positivity. I know it won’t be easy and imagine you have your challenges and difficulties but just know you have our support and love.
You are an inspiration Karen ❤ Kia kaha. How amazing will it be when you are living in your completed house ❤ we are cheering you on 😀👏
Nice to see you back you will get their it will be worth all the effort you put in take care Archie from Scotland
You are a real inspiration. Nicola and I so want to be down there to give you a hand but unfortunately family estate to sort out. But if you ever want to jump in the car. You know we're here.
Oh no!! Oh gosh, hope you are both ok?💛💛💛💛💛💛
@@TravellingK We are 100% fine. So looking forward to catching up soon.
Is plywood cheaper than plasterboard, here in france the walls and ceiling are generally plasterboard. After jointing a coat of paint.
It ended up a little cheaper. Plus the plan had been so we didn’t need to learn how to plaster or pay someone. But plans change…
Rock on Karen, when we built our home,we had plenty of little dramas, builders sick,materials not turning up tradies arguing with each other, & unfortunately theft from the building sites. We got it done everything has a start & a finish.🙏🧡
Oh gosh! Lots of dramas for you! Hope you love your house now?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic to see you back on CZcams , you are doing an amazing job on the house hopefully you will be feeling a lot better soon take care. 😃
So great to see you again! Sending lots of encouragement and love from northern England❤❤
Lovely to see you back and so motivated :) Go at your own pace though, don't feel pressured, we're all behind you!
Good to see you back
