    Can you imagine hitting the road as a nomad with an infant and then an active toddler? Well this female nomad embraced the nomad/van life experience with her young daughter and never looked back. They have traveled 100 thousand miles in 2 years in a Toyota Camry!!
    "From mountains to mountains," according to this adventurous mom who not only runs a business, Stich In Time By Sedena on Etsy, from the road but has also home schooled her 4 year old for quite some time giving her a head srart academically. If you ever thought your minivan was too small to travel in you just might want to get some ideas from this no build Toyota Camry turned camper for two.

    When I was 4 years old: Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, me, the dog, and everything we owned traveled the country in a VW Bug in the 1960’s. Happiest time on our lives, I do believe. We camped by the side of the road. I slept in the back. I have so many wonderful memories of that time that I carried all my life. It taught me courage, curiosity, & love of diversity. There are always kids to play with every where you stop! When Dad finally found a city he liked and we moved out of the car, I cried! I loved my car! Sixty years later, I became a Nomad. Back to my roots! That kid will be FINE!

      Yes and no. Homeschooling can be fine, but it can also be very damaging. Even the most well-intentioned parents might not realize how isolating and socially stunting it can be to be homeschooled. Being around a group of peers consistently is the entire point of public schooling, not just the facts you learn from the books. I know a lot of people that have spent decades trying to recover from homeschooling.

      @@skapunkoialternativeliving6522 Having spent time in public, private, and homeschooling environments, I'm not entirely sure what is meant by "indoctrination." I hear that as a buzzword a lot, and it makes it sound like there is a giant conspiracy that certain teachers have to "trick" our children. Does history inherently come with biases? Absolutely. But history is only a small fraction of what you learn in school, and the debated aspects are an even smaller category therein. Are we really willing to forego something beneficial because 5% of it may or may not be misled?

      I agree we have to keep a sound mind about this.
      A little travel is a great thing. Always being on the road in a confined space for a little one is not healthy. No consistency in people other than mom.
      What is going to happen as she grows up? She has no space away from mom.
      I thank you for your rational, kind comment.
      I think we can be kind, supportive without being irrationally naive.
      We don’t know what the situation with her own mother looks like.
      Some parents do not want their kids/ grandchildren living with them. That sounds weird to some, but it’s reality.

      There is a big difference between choosing to live and travel in a vehicle when you have other options and being forced to do so with no other options. Poverty is not glamorous. I know as I experienced it as a child. The purpose of this channel is not to glamorize poverty, but rather to share people's experiences and in some cases their courage and resilience despite having meager means and few choices.

    I'm sorry. But this not stability for a child, nor her Mother. This is homelessness. I've looked at loads of these types of videos, and this setup appears very different. And unfortunately, and very sadly, it appears different, and not in a good way. Of course children are exceedingly happy when they are with their primary caregiver; as long as Mom is there, all is right with the world. Kids have the amazing ability to play, even in war torn countries.

      Stability is not on a house? It is in the constant ongoing care of a consistent and living caregiver that the child.knows will always he there. Also, it is in knowing one is safe. This child feels both of those things. Certainly this lifestyle is not for everyone But, they do have a homebase with the grandmother in between travels.

I am a LCSW and a mental health therapist, and I promise you that adults who experienced homelessness and instability as children, have so many challenges.

As a mom who is about to be full throttle into this lifestyle, I understand judgement but I don’t like pure misjudgment and poor accusations. My 2 year old also does better in the car. She likes it. I’ll be starting homeschooling as well. When she can go to the Boys and Girls club, I’ll allow her to go there but I don’t trust the daycare’s nor the school system AT ALL. If she ask to go I will allow her but I will pull her out as soon as some BS happens that isn’t reconciled. The American school system really sucks and socializing isn’t a good enough reason to allow my child to endure the BS of the school system. And many of us don’t want vans nor RVs.

    For 3 months me my ex our 4 children and our mini doxie went on an “extended road trip” to find where we wanted to lay down new roots. It was an amazing time in our lives. Went to a new place and a new park every other day, and would wake up making breakfast like any other, eggs, bacon toast, on a camper grill…seeing all the different places. It was amazing. Our children were 2, 3, 4, & 5.

    Love that they are doing this adventure. My concern is Child Welfare and their idiocy, whereby they think such a life is wrong and could take her into foster care. Our society is so judgmental.
    But, I love this great adventure she is on. Glad she has a home base with her Mom. May their journey continue for years to come.
    Would like to see her fix the back seats so that they can both lie flat at night. Being fully flat, or neat so is necessary for the brain to clear toxins and for the kidneys and other organs to rest. To include the heart.
    Great job choice. Amazing what opportunities the internet provides us if we choose a mobile life. Had no idea that a sewing machine could be powered with such a small power amount. Good to know.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Makes me wish she would have won Bob’s van at the RTR.
    If she removes the back part of the back seat (on the side where she sleeps), she could slide her feet into the trunk area, giving herself a full stretch. Could set up the same for her daughter via across the top hammock or platform.
    Love, love, love this mother/daughter adventure.
