    I am a single childless poor woman in my mid forties. I have cried many nights about knowing that I will be homeless in retirement. This video made me less scared of my future.
  • @Mel-gk1wg
    I'm so impressed with all the amazing senior women flying solo and enjoying their lives🦋
  • Living on the road sure beats dying slow in some old folks home. Good for that young lady!
  • @terribishop5313
    She's not 78 years old she's 78 years young. She beats me at 65. What an inspiration ❤
  • I'm also a solo senior (74). Life was passing by too quickly! So I drove my campervan from Southern England, to Outer Hebrides islands. 100 miles off the west coast of Scotland. The journey was for 3 months, visiting Isle of Skye, Mull, Iona, Staffa, Uists, Barra, Eriskay. Isles of Harris and Lewis. It was an adventure of a lifetime, meeting so many senior solo ladies, many from Europe, also in their 70's. Your never too old to get out into the big wide world and fulfil your dreams!
  • She is my hero. THIS is what you call aging gracefully, FOR REAL...not who has the least wrinkles. I watched in awe while she matter-of-factly talked about her solo traveling at 78. She makes nearly 80 look great!
  • @purklang
    This woman has more courage than many younger people. 😉👍 A wonderful and young-at-heart woman. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
  • @amaris8084
    Lord, 🙏 protect her on her journey 🙏
  • @user-jt6hj1nb2f
    For 78 years old you look beautiful. May God be with you in all your journey.
  • @Kiwiwanderer
    What a wonderful woman! She’s full of guts and adventure mixed with super tidy and efficient.
  • @oneshiningstar281
    I thought at 50 it was just a pipe dream and I was going to be vicariously living my van/car life day’s through others forever. At 78 you’ve just inspired me to never lose hope and to start manifesting these dreams into actions! Love your little set up too ❤
  • @bonnieparker1238
    Thank you for posting. I am 61 and on the way home from work today I was in near tears thinking I would never camp again or even be able to use the RV. So now I know I just have the wrong equipment for my age. I need to only have a better set up. I pray I can do what you are doing when I retire. Thanks again for sharing.
  • @florasonners1635
    I love the set up. She's so organized and she's carrying a minimum of things. Inspirational lady!
  • @carrie5813
    It’d be nice to hear more about her story of why she decided to do vanlife and maybe a little bit about her life. But thank you for this video. I love this lady’s smile. She has such a kind way about her.

    Hi, Evelyn, from another Evelyn! I'm 76, have been a wanderlust all my life, lived full-time in a 17-foot travel trailer for 7 years, a 5th-wheel for another 2 years, and now that I'm stationary, I still camp in a tent, my preferred accommodation. You remind me of me for more than the shared name. We are exactly the kind of "senior citizen" that breaks the "senior citizen in a rocking chair" mold. We're out there, us older women, living life under OUR terms, strong and independent and purposeful. You go, girl! (I hope you made it out west; I live in Oregon 😁)
  • Im 68 and haven't been anywhere. Always wanted to go somewhere anywhere and see more. Very inspiring.
  • @NilDreams
    Great video, Jan! I hope I have her energy at 78! She’s inspiring!
  • @MsNZgal
    This is a lovely set up for her Wheel Estate. Very tidy and well organised. Evelyn is so advernturous. I wish her safe travel. Thank you for posting.
  • @NoToYellowpigs
    May God protect this grandma. Sending love. 🙏🏻❤️
  • @RemiSun50
