I admire her for her courage and vision, the only problem is, because more people are turning to van life the government is starting to clamp down on vanlife and stealth camping, the government want everybody under control and paying exorbitant amounts of tax with no freedom at all, I wish success and happiness to all vanlifers
It's why those with the awareness to see through this constant and cyclical bullshit and come together is so necessary and dare I say, inevitable 🙏🏼
How much control, manipulation, lies, corruption, fallacy and delusion must it take before the conscious able build community again without fear of that which only wishes to obstruct and own freedom within this grand charade.
Back into van life next month, even if I wanted another option I can't afford it or am willing to sacrifice so much else to attain it.
Pockets of land to collectively share, grow, rest, be, must be the focus as this madness we inherit as 'reality' rapidly intensifies towards it's inevitable demise.
It's not easy right now for so so many, perhaps it never has been.
Boy this place is one heck of a fuckery.
Another lovely soul here, willing to not accept the crap presented to us by the program 👌🏼
@apocalypticdaze2139 thrre are "pockets of land" for " travelling people". "I don't want to contribute" also "I want land for my van"
@@supertouring22 come again..
Yep it will get shut down at some point.
I’m glad that people are waking to this worldwide scam!
As a fellow van lifer approaching my first year in a van I admire her courage. And doing it with a little one. I wish her all the best with her new build
❤
no its terrible for the child to have no father bcos of this selfish women
@@harryman1303we don’t know the situation and it’s none of our business.
You have no idea what is or isn't happening about the dad and nor do I so piss off with your judgemental nonsense @@harryman1303
@@harryman1303she fits milk y'all GoFundMe
Cherish these moments because you have the opportunity to spend quality time with him. Big homes are over rated your van is beautiful but the time with your son is priceless
Amen !!
I couldn’t do that to my kid. I do understand tho. Better than being homeless but not far from it. Good luck.
I would do anything for my kid. Love her more than anything
When I was 21 My baby and I lived in a VW transport van with a pop top and bed in the back. Was so liberating to have that freedom as a young single mom financially. It was also lovely to know I could go wherever I needed when I needed. I worked in health food stores and had many friends with children . We camped at the base of the Tetons for one summer. I think it's so good for kiddos to see, experience live the world. And you don't need to be Uber wealthy to do it. 😊😊
Hi how was childcare for you while you did this and worked? Genuinely asking. Thank you
@@Youareheretoo I was lucky enough to be a deadhead, rainbow when it still had camping and kids and community . These days I'd likely look through Unitarians, next door family meetups, school friends, family friends. I think there is a large growing community of like minded nomadic individuals you could research as well.
Yes!! 100%
That's what pisses off the control Globalist freaks !!!
Seeing people who aren't wealthy travel n enjoy life.
How awful of them, right ??? What a twisted bunch they are n they need to be stopped or our grandkids will not know what a camping trip is or feels like.
How long were you two in the van? I'm 1.5 years in full time van life (in a small city), solo. Just curious how van life was with a toddler lol.
It is devastating that a single mother must live in a vehicle to be able to afford taking care of her child. But she is doing what she has to do and has done it in such a beautiful and intentional way. They will be happy and comfortable and I hope that things get easier for all of us out there someday.
She's not doing what she has too... She's living how she wants... She said she never wanted to live in a house... Alternative living isn't always a result of desperation... Some just wish to go their own way...She owns a boat... She's not totally broke...Boats aren't cheap
A single mother would be high priority for social housing/benefits, so living in a van conversion clearly her choice. More power to her!
@@mekareactsandreviews3026 Well because she's saving so money on living costs. That gives her the chance to improve her living situation. In a few years it won't be appropriate for her son to be sleeping in the same bed as her. Would you rather she just worked to pay stupidly high rent and childcare costs with nothing much left after bills?
@esta7819 She said she's going to get a bigger van or bus when her son gets older...She's doesn't want a house...She said that...She's not desperate ir doing this to save...She just want to live alternatively...That's it..Ppl always have this wrong assumption,that if ppl live in a Vehicle of any kind it must because they have no choice..No many choose it cause they want time to live...Not work their lives away trying to live like everyone else...
@@mekareactsandreviews3026 she did say if anyone were to offer her a farm house she would take it though. I think people are tired of paying all their salary for a room or small box apartment. I'm sure most would choose a decent house over a van if it was possible...
I’m a fellow single mum of two a 8 year old and a 5 year old and I think your a wonderful parent and inspiring during cost of living crisis that you can make future plans when most single parents can’t and are really struggling. I hope you find your tribe I think you are amazing and I would love one day to do some van life with my kids x
@zaraen I hope you get that chance one day😊
I am a landlord and some of my tenants are more minimalist parents, that also travel! They always joke how they get harassed for basically having a tiny home and not buying a home, yet they get to live the life of their dreams because they’re willing to live a little smaller and more flexible life. Obviously, financially it would be wiser for them to have a condo, but one bedroom apartments seem to be just the right size for a particular type of person who isn’t sure where they want to settle down. That said, most of my one-bedroom apartments has people staying for about seven years and when they do move out it’s debt free because they didn’t need to pay for an extra room and all the “stuff” to fill it. One tenant in particular was a single mom who love to camp, she wasn’t van life, but she take her car, canoe, and tent and they would travel constantly when she wasn’t at work.
My encouragement is people can find a unique space. Something like an apartment over someone’s garage or next door to an elderly couple, there is the best of both worlds when you can travel and have a place to call home.
Thats what happens when they dont know how to pick a good man. Live in a van
Almost like they shouldn't have children. 🤦🏻
Being a UK resident who is obsessed with Tiny houses and van life, I'm so chuffed to see a channel from an English couple, featuring people from England. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sharon! Thanks for the comment.
We're brother and sister, and we run the channel together. It's great to get stories out there of people in the UK living alternatively, as we don't see much of it on channels like this.
Enjoy 😊🙌🏼
I agree - it’s a very different life in the US as the weather is different.
@@liveration So nice you shared this information here. First time watching. You're both so lovely. I so enjoyed this woman's testimony...fabulissimo. So refreshing that she had to really think hard about negative van life...what a great attitude she has. Bless her life and that of her sweet baby child. Would love to see her boat as well...oh, yes, her van is perfect. I'd hire her in a twinkling of an eye to fix up my tiny home (if i had one)😀😁🥰 Thank you.
@@liverationI’ve been seeing several UK Van Life YT channels. I hope you can find them. I would post a link but I can’t remember who they all are, but there are a few.😊😊
The peaceful start to life she is giving her child is admirable. I wish them well.
The bedroom is amazing. There so much this little guy can learn on his adventures with mom.
What a inspiration this young lady is ,
She has done the London thing (work) and has come to the conclusions it’s out in the van or boat is where she feels happiest.
With a positive attitude anything is possible ,I for one wish you all the very best were ever life takes you Bec .
I really like the layout with the cosy bed area in the middle and a living space in the rear, with the option of the barn doors being open for a great view and easy access. I haven't seen a conversion like this before but it seems practical and quirky. Great video and interesting story. Thank you.
Don't ever stop doing what you love. May you always have good fortune and sunny days in future.
I own my house and dream of selling it and be free. I just purchased a 2023 Mercedes sprinter … cannot wait xx such an inspirational woman ❤
@Hope_Faith_Stren that’s awesome! Same here.
What she has is luxury. I was a single mum with a 2 year old and traveled the East Coast of Australia in just a tent for 2 whole years until my daughter was 4 and a half and close to school age. We mainly visited national parks, so bush and beach camping, 70 in total in 2 years and I constantly had to put the tent up and down, blow up the mattress etc and same with the bedding and cooking stuff. Constantly packing and unpacking everything. That was 20 years ago. I would have loved to have had a van in those days.
What a unique layout in this van build. It is absolutely perfect for your living situation with still having your privacy. Raising your son on the road will give him exposure to the outdoor adventures that he would probably not have otherwise.
I remember when my first born was that age and I read to him daily and he is very very intelligent Love's books and is self-taught in several things he taught himself through books. It's nice you can spend a lot of time with your son while he's at at that age.
Another beautiful video guy's. With a lovely outlook on life from a single mum just show's happiness is there for everyone. A park up on my land would always be open if ever in Wales and wanting to be in touch with nature.
I just wondered where do they shower n for reg bathroom use I definitely need a bathroom set up. I wished they explained this. Many of this vids don’t even touch the subject. I feel its very important. I love this lifestyle but need bare minimum like a working bathroom, kitchen n electricity w a/c. Wish her the best, beautiful baby n momma, stay safe❤❤❤❤❤
I'm assuming she probably uses the bathroom etc in her narrow boat if it's nearby? ❤ That's the only thing I can think of.
They are dirty most the time and infrequently shower at campgrounds or gyms offering a free, promotional day pass. It's dangerous to live that way. For many reasons.
Do you know her personally? They don’t look dirty at all. It’s easy to wash with a small amount of water and she can go swimming and shower there. Nobody has to shower daily to stay healthy.
@rsnc23 Do you know that for sure? What an ignorant ill informed comment!
She has a water foot pump. She knows what she needs and doesn't need.
It's actually quite good for your body not to be doused/washed in chemicals daily. You should try it 😊
We are a couple and we live in a van 6 mo per year and our boat 6 mo a year- it’s pretty glorious
Nature will be this little boy's playground! God bless you from Wisconsin!
This is an interesting way of living: had a few questions for her tho/
1. Can you park anywhere and live there for any number of days or are there any restrictions?
2. What about toilet and bathing facilities in the van?
3. What about the safety aspect, especially at night that too with a little child?
4. Now the child is small, but what happens when he needs to apply for school place / catchment area etc?
All the best thanks!
It's not a legal requirement to apply for schools. She could choose home education
I think she's an amazing person living in the reality of today's modern world.
So much is expected of us, but the corporations are refusing to give us the employees a living wage.
So, to anyone who has a negative comment, please keep it to yourself.
Not everyone is happy living paycheck to paycheck.
And if you can find a suitable safe alternative to just scrapping by then, do so.
The cutie little baby boy has his own bed.
She has heat, refrigerator, stove, and food.
"Little man is just fine/safe and loved."
Much love and respect to you sis, stay safe❤❤❤❤❤
Well said I totally agree with you
Because they keep on importing cheap labour so they don't have to pay anything other than the minimum wage........or even less .
@Asha-ww9ct you are a lovely human❤
@sincerelysandi Aww, thanks, sis. Much love and respect to you💟
@@Asha-ww9ctyou’re welcome☮️💜
Nice❣️ She and her son seem so chill. Good on her family, namely her parents, for supporting her choices. Stay safe and TFS 🧡🩵
Always support your childrens choices!
Yeah that sorta thing rareky happens. Glad she has an emotional support system.
Also living in a van/camper, the money you're saving will definitely help towards paying for daycare if needed since you're not paying for rent.
Her little boy seems to be happy and healthy so she must be doing something right. There are so many people who moan about living in over crowded homes expecting to be housed by the local authority. But sit on their bums popping children out they can't afford. Not actually doing anything to change their circumstances. This mum will be living a better life than many who are just working to live.
The kid can't be healthy emotionally without a father figure
LMAO I think it's time you got out from living under your rock.@@ivang9885
Pretty sure thats a girl. Her name is Willow and she's in a purple flowered jacket and matching purple hat. Looks pretty girly to me.
@@DontWorryBHappy1988 So why is she referring to her child when she's talking about baby equipment as his and him then?
@@Justabitnosey was she? Guess I'll have to listen again. If thats the case, why in the world would she start the little boys life by confusing people, confusing him as he ages. Gees, let boys be boys and allow them to be and look masculine! I hope this isn't the case. Every Willow I know is a girl.
At least she has a Ford transit , good solid unbreakable engine 👍👍
Vw transit? You mean ford transit?@Jammyfish
VW Transporter is the van of choice.
@@Ytnzy250 VW transporter is ridiculous expensive and build quality and reliability in the more modern versions are leaning to the poor side
@@MICHAEL-wg2lh
VW's in general have a reputation for reliability.
Which year onwards did they start being flaky?
@@Ytnzy250 Expensive parts etc.
I loved Willow offering that leaf 😍👍.✊🙏❤️👌
Great video guys👍🏻
As fellow fulltime vanlifers, I think it's great that you're living this way with Willow. He's a lucky boy😊
As long as mother and child are happy, healthy and safe... Wonderful!
i dont know you but very proud of you, well done stay strong xx
You did a good job on the build of your van. I pray for your safety for you and your baby boy! ❤
Well done girl wish you all the best for the future happy travels 😊🙏❤️
I like the layout of your interior van. I like it because it kind of gives you three different individual spaces yet it still feels open.
Well you guys, that was different. Wasn't expecting a single mum. You're definitely keeping us on our toes 😀.
Really enjoyed the vid, Becks is another one who's living the dream along with her son... how good is that 👍🏻.
I know what she means about finding your tribe...it is a thing.
Glad she's remained focused and bought the bigger van... I'll have a look on Instagram.
Look forward to the next one...🙏🏻💚💚
This one really hit my heart. Made me cry. Power to this clever lass
Good on you, your life, you're choices 👍
*your
I regret giving my van away on one level, but a couple needed a home and i couldnt live in it back then due to my health ... I really really miss being in a van and hate being in a bungalow in an over 55's complex. Admire this young lady for going out and living on the road with a little un... Wishing her the very best.
I agree I’m living in home and I’d really be perfectly content in a van.
My hero.
Willow probably loves it.
Honestly I fantasize about doing this nearly daily…good for her
What a clever van layout you jave. Very good lookong and functional.
Best of luck to you and the little one Willow.
Well isn’t she just a ball of sunshine, lovely to see someone content with what they’ve got, inspirational!
how brave this woman is! I have been in bus life for 9 months now and I couldn’t imagine doing this with a child at first! I’m to the point where I’m going to get a bigger bus so I can have a kid and still be rent free! It’s so worth it with the amount you save and the time you get to spend with your child is priceless.
I'd like to encourage U on your practical set-up.You should sand the rust spots paint or at
Least apply Grease + tape over. good Luck!
That is a nice big vehicle!! My van is the short roof version cause I can stand up in it with no problem. Lol! The midsize.
I'm so happy for her that she can provide for her & her child with this lifestyle. It's definitely not for everyone as she said. Nobody should be unhappy where they live. That happened to me so many times that I had to move often. 12 times to be exact.
Love that it has all those windows! I tried finding a passenger van for that very reason but had no luck at the time.
Really love the layout!
Who cares what people think as long as you are happy & not effecting anyone else's which she clearly isn't.
I’ve watched a bunch of Van life videos and never seen this build.
I like it.
I have virtually the same van as Beck (former mk7 minibus), so was intrigued by this one. There's still a fair amount of exposed bodywork internally, e.g. the back doors, which could do with insulating and boarding/carpeting otherwise they will condensate badly in the cold. But it looks like a great build and an interesting layout. Good on her for creating a more viable life for herself and her little boy.
van looks great .and I really think this IS the way to go for people ,rents are so high now , I had to search today for a place for my son , and for just a room, it was just ridiculous, how are the young supposed to get anywhere affordable to live , I did it myself by living on a small boat for a year ,id recommend it to anyone .
What an inspiring video! As more and more of us are feeling the pinch and struggling to provide for our kids, as we would like to, it's great to see someone who has found a solution that works for them. Vanlife is not for everyone, but they look happy and healthy enough to me! Well done.
And what a super production! I've been following this channel since Mad Mark and the quality is amazing! Very professional. Subscribed!
Thanks for the great comment! Great to hear from someone who has watched from the start ☺️ many more videos to come! Glad you’re enjoying them.
Sophie & Ryan
Good on you gal,you are an inspiration and a trooper..Best wishes to you both from Wales 🏴
Living as opposed to existing!
Quality time and choices for you and ur little man!
Gorgeous life!
xx👌🏻🚚👶
Inviting, lovely, cozy interior love the design. Willow is very fortunate to be offered such a life. Blessings to you both!
You have done a wonderful job with your build…. Happy travels… can’t wait to see your next project.
I like this woman. She's so inspiring and honest, I wish she was my friend. Need more people like this❤
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing her story! What a beautiful mother and baby.
Another great video guys, Loved the layout and the mindset, Good luck for the new conversion project ☯️
I really love her build! I wish I was short enough to orient a bed that way, but I just couldn't do it. The bed and kitchen are beautiful, and that's great that she can create some space from her little one by pulling the curtain closed. That's so important to be able to do.
Great video, new sub here, well done. I'm in my 50's now and i'm now seriously thinking of doing the van life (although it'll be a motorhome for me) in the next couple of years and actually getting excited about the proposed adventure as I want to tour the whole of the UK first before doing a year or two across Europe........i'll be timing it with taking some of my early pension lump sum and savings!...i need the free life....my feet are getting itchy 😊
I just started BUS life! I’m a lot younger but I encourage you in any way and let all those things holding you back melt away with the thought of FREEDOM!🤍
She is smart and brave! I admire u mom! Your son will watch over u one day! This is a great way to live!!!
I wish you both Bright Blessings. Your not crazy,as long as you and your child are safe warm, healthy and happy.
40 years ago, I think if this lifestyle was as common as it is today, I would have embraced it.
Lovely level headed lady. Admiration. Living her best life and her son is thriving.
Her parents can be proud. Haters go look at your own life. Be kind.
End of....
I have seen hundreds (via youtube) van builds. I adore yours. Hands down, cutest ever.
I do like her layout. It is unique and so practical.
What a resourceful lady. I wish both all the best!❤
Not seen that layout before. The side door is usually so central but i see this works well for them. Dam good build.
People are programmed robot slaves of the system thinking happyness starts with extern factors like status, money, material things that means nothing and its relativ and an illusion create by society....working and buying stuff out of emptyness.
If your happyness depend on extern factors you will never be because extern factors are endless.
Happyness starts inside you. Sounds cliche but its true.
The more people around you, the more expectations, talk about others, comparing out of insecure, judge, negativity, jealousy, double standards, violent, sneakyness, own benefits etc..... reflection of their broken empty souls.
Alone or in solitude you have more strength, peace, power, happyness, freedom and time....
Perfectly said, I totally agree & that's with me having had everything in life (that people supposedly desire) in my earlier adult years...around some years ago the penny dropped & I realised no amount of materials & money would give me the happiness I so much wanted & needed...
& so the very simple non materialistic life started. I've still got loads of stuff to get rid of, but I'm getting there slowly.
@@keepitreal1547 same here....i had "everything" but i was not happy at all and feel still empty so i change everything radical when i was 35, now i am 43.....choose to be alone and i feel blessed and train myself.....be the light in your own life.
You born alone and died alone and in between we are all guests.....
I still learn and never be there where its ok.....in the here and now is where the magic happens.
Future is an illusion and the past are just thoughts.....memories.
Blessed to you and much love from here.....the Netherlands
@@chirovandenbos2339
You're a double of me in your ways & thinking. I also like the Dutch people as we seems to understand eachother well. Brits & Dutch
@@keepitreal1547 Ah nice :)
Sometimes it feels alone but there are enough like us not following cheaps blinded by the mainstream.....and i dont feel better then others, but more be carefully and awake.
Nice to hear from you
Love this
Great job Beck. What a wonderful early life for Willow. Rents are ridiculous almost everywhere so what you are doing makes perfect sense to me. Rent a room or be mobile in a van? I’d choose peace and freedom any day. Your son is on quite the field trip. Be safe and enjoy. Hello from the Pacific Northwest in WA State USA.
Yes, a wonderful happy child says it all.
You are one Amazing Single Mom! You have created and build a wonderful home for both of you! Love it! Enjoy your life!❤❤
This is exactly what I’m trying to do as a single mom 🙌🏼 so much inspo!
Great set up. Enjoy life with your little one living the way you want!!
Wow I couldn't do what Beck is doing guess she's usedo it by her touring around in a band before ..take care with a toddler so cute .. ❤️ .
Cool layout. Love it.
If she decides to keep the Ford Transit, would be good idea to de- rust and wax the underside if it hasn’t already been done as they are prone to rot . engines are bullet proof and easy to work on. I personally wouldnt go down the 7.5 ton horse box route. Running costs jump up & manoeuvrability options vastly decrease general freedoms. Just go longest highest van ie Ford Transit Jumbo would be my choice. Don’t go Merc sprinter, lovely but will bite bank balance down the road. Happy travels !
Ahhh Beck, you brave & resourceful woman, van is looking amazing! And good work Ryan & Sophie, beautifully captured ❤
👌👏😍😊 Having a ready made bed is TOP💯
The wooden decor must be heavy..?
The future truck is going to reduce where you can park and guzzle a lot of diesel... It may be worst than being sedantary.
see about doing architecture deign remotely that would solve most problems and the only good thing that covid did was show that remote work can be done just as easily on road than in a building and that video conferencing worked just as good as in person
good on ya girl , your a good mum , your amazing and very brave.
So beautiful that her and her sweet little boy are cozy in their traveling home ❤️❤️❤️ pray guardian angels to surround them every where they go and provision in abundance coming from every direction ❤️ blessings!
Lovely,lovely post.❤️
I lived in a small RV, tiny, with my little boy for a few years, in Canada while working full time.... in 1993 to 1997. lol.
Good luck! A very brave and inspirational lady.
As a father of a 3 year old I cannot imagine under any circumstances ever abandoning my child. Babies need a lot of nurturing and affection from both parents
I would prefer a box truck, but that's me. I think it's a great idea, you've got to have disposable income and your child isn't hanging around housing commission etc.
I love the layout of this build!!!!!!! Great job!
Well done, good for you and what a lovely experience for your son, I wish you well
Love this video. This lady knows how to live and how to raise a child and show him how to live also. Well done. I love it.
Love Beck, our soul sister ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for showcasing her story, strongest woman we know 💪💪
Willow is so cute offering an interesting leaf to start contact and interaction - what a charming and early developed lad!
Beck is a no-mad mum. By and by a community will be found or emerge/develop. A reaction to crazy prices and crowded superficial fake-glammy city-life is inevitable. I'm glad to get to see a glimpse of free spirit blossoming here. Thanks for sharing. 🙂All the best wishes.
This seems reasonably doable with a very young child. I do hope she is open to taking Willow's input on the situation as he gets bigger. At some point, he is likely to want more personal space and privacy than this lifestyle can provide.
This will suit them just fine for a few years. When the time comes, they can always go back to sticks and bricks. What a fantastic learning opportunity this will be for the little one!
It's very interesting to me that on one side they say we must live inside our means, then when we find a way to do that, someone doesn't like it and wants to say "but you can't do that." So what ate we supposed to do???
I agree. You just have to do what makes you happy & not care what anyone else thinks. They aren't living your life!
I get this often because I became too ill to walk without surgery almost a year and a half ago now. They would rather see me in an apartment but I cannot afford it & my van and apartment living was he|| for me living with CPTSD noise related. The Van was my answer to prayer from God. Its such a small space I don't necessarily "need" to walk far. It's challenging for me but living off grid is so utterly blissful. I need that silence to thrive unlike most people. I hope to buy some land one day I can live on legally.
What a wonderful life for your son, such freedom…🥰
I'm slowly fixing up a camper for my daughter and I. Pay to use my sister's electric and water. The kids always have someone with them and freely move from place to place.
Great job! Love this layout!! May God bless you and your son!!
I'm totally impressed by your lovely van. Blessings to you and your little son. XG Ire
I've been contemplating this for a while. But I can't find a van within my means. I just want a van as a safety measure, so that when things don't go as planned with my roommates, I'll have my van. Shelters have so many restrictions. Someone had found a decent job while living in the shelter, but the schedule of the job wasn't coinciding with the shelter. They couldn't cook they're own meal, no fridge.
I have a friend who house sits around the UK and Europe. He has a fabulous time house sitting and is big demand where he always has somewhere to live, sometimes house sitting one house for months. . Maybe an inexpensive way for you to try?
Very cozy ❤. You're so brave to take such a difficult but convenient decision in your situation.
Love the van . Miss vanlife . Enjoy your vanlife
Liking the all wood look, it's cosy looking.
Do you only park up on friends drives, as mentioned...or do you park off grid also?
As a mom who works full time, I have missed so many milestones in my children's lives. I salute you that you get to be with your child in his growing years. I pray for you and your son's safety on your future journeys.
What an amazing life for little willow
i dont want to pay rent anymore either. Ive been in a skoolie now for 2yrs and ive saved $60,000 on rent :)
You are very smart.
