    She's not waiting for her man, parents, or goverment to solve a problem. She's doing it herself and doing it great. Superwomen!

      I`d say, that`s not a "Super"woman, just a grown up female, aka "woman" ;)

      I'm even happier when I see someone in the background lending a bit of support and encouragement. I'd hate to think they had to do all of this completely solo as if they had no family and friends. Sometimes, people just want to try things out and explore. I'd like to think they have homes/families waiting should they decide to return.

      @Lukas Yes! Have a look at Jonna Jinton, Daughter of Old.......there are also some male versions...all of them tired of lifestyle, all of them with some "health issues", always the same story behinde, all of them are arty in one or another way, all of them buy a house in the middle of nowhere (no explanation where the money comes , the houses are lovely, they have everything they need, even internet connection works, they all have a car, the settings are similar, they all have a dog, similarity in a way the girls talk, the backgrund music, the photos....

      @Lukas In my youth I had a Renault 4, 10 years old, took out the back seat, put a foam mattress in it, had a camping gas stove, used public toilets and washrooms, went to work and had 4 weeks vacation a year and toured Western Europe. No income from CZcams channel, times are changing ...

    I’ve watched many, many van build outs. This is the first I’ve truly enjoyed watching. No words needed. You masterfully took us along with you for the experience and allowed us to enjoy, not be bothered by unimportant time consuming fluff. Your use of time compression videography was very creative. We were able to appreciate your skill using tools to mold and manipulate materials into living art.
    The music made the journey with you very enjoyable. That is masterful cinematography. Keep up the fantastic development of those skills.
    You are an amazing young lady and I see a bright future of amazing creativity to be unleashed that will make this world a better place for all who will cross your path. Stay strong on your journey.

    I'm so proud of you doing this all by yourself. You got the skills and did everything the way you planned the way you wanted. Thank you for sharing this. You are amazing! I love it!!!!!!! You give me inspiration for my future van.

    The fact that she single handedly turned whole van into running bed.

    I love the VWs from the outside. They look so cool but I never like the inside designs of campervans. Until now. You made a very nice job of it.

  • @trishawhitehead4017

    Solo diy conversion it’s a big challenge. Many hours of work, sometimes put you under stress. But you have the passion and skills that will lead you to pleasure creation and finish project.
    Good trips to you boths.
    Congratulations from Portugal.

    This was so refreshing to watch! I like your simplicity. Sometimes it is hard to practically build out a van because of costs but you made it look really simple and cost effective. I also like your color scheme.

    Danke Leena, wie haben unser Projekt erst vor uns und haben schon einige VIELE Videos gesehen. ABER meine Frau war gerade so krass begeistert wie Du das selbst gemacht hast. Erst jetzt hat sie eine Vorstellung wie man einen Bulli zu einem Camper baut. Jetzt bedanke ich ich auch bei Dir, weil wie auch durch eine Inspiration angekommen sind und können es kaum abwarten den heutigen Anruf zu bekommen, das wir unseren T3 abholen können. Fühle Dich von uns gedrückt und hab weiterhin viel spaß... Liebe Grüße Marc & Christina

    Älteres Video, ich weiß, aber ich hab dich jetzt erst entdeckt und finde die Machart so sympathisch! Vor allem, dass du ein paar der Fehler oder Schwierigkeiten beim Bau mit dringelassen hast - richtig toll! Ganz zu schweigen vom Ergebnis. Dachte mir bisher immer "So was würd ich doch nie schaffen...", aber dein Video macht Hoffnung. c: Fast ganz allein! Wahnsinn.
    Hab hier schon gern zugeschaut und gerade gesehen, dass deine restlichen Videos bzw. Reiseziele genau mein Ding sind. werd mich jetzt einmal schön durchschauen und freu mich jetzt schon auf neue Videos.
