I didn’t plan on disappearing from YouTube for six months, but life got real and I needed to step back and figure out what was next. In this video I sit down and explain what’s been going on, why the break happened, and what I’ve been spending my time and energy on instead of filming. If you’ve ever wondered how vanlife and “tiny home life” intersects with real-world housing stress, this is that conversation. A big part of this update is me looking for affordable housing in a market that feels basically impossible—especially as a solo senior woman trying to balance safety, location, price, and the actual condition of what you’re buying. I walk through my thought process while I explore vintage mobile trailer homes as a possible “forever home” that I can renovate over time. The takeaway is simple: I’m still learning as I go, still trying to keep things practical and DIY, and I’m sharing the messy middle—because that’s the part nobody really shows.
