Our Van Surrounded By Bears! Bear Country USA

Driving through Bear Country.

About us

My name is Bionca and I have a 9 yr old son named Carter. I’m a cultured high energy globetrotting life coach, public speaker and soon to be an author. Carter is a spiritual goofy homeschooled kid, gamer, and humanitarian. Together we want to inspire others to be bold enough to chase their dreams despite any challenges along the way.

Our journey began when we decided to get rid of our fancy things, home school and travel the world until further notice. Then in October 2017, we decided to buy a van that would enable us to work, home school, explore the world and give back in the U.S! This 1989 Ford Econoline is a symbol of freedom and service to various communities.

Our values (L.E.G)
Learn
Engage
Give back

Some examples of what Carter and I love to do throughout our travels:

-Life coaching and delivering empowering speeches which include speaking on the issues of bullying in schools.
-Learn and explore various regions of the world while engaging with locals
-Cook delicious foods
-Host play date meetups for traveling families with kids
-Feed the homeless
-Rescue animals
-Clean up beaches

Right now we wish to relaunch an anti-bullying nonprofit foundation called the Bully Barricade Foundation. It is going to take a lot of work and we need your help!

We hope to meet many of you during our travels!
With love,

-Bionca and Carter

In bear country you’ll want a portable electric fence around your campsite. Less than 2.5 lbs for huge peace of mind

When Carter grows up, he is going to be a well rounded person.

I was so nervous that doggy was going tio start barking and then all hell would break loose lol. Amazing experience!

[Linda-Sb]

How awesome is that! You guys are living the dream!

[bluxgrean]

Us tropical people who trap our families in urban retardation for generations don't realize just how impactful these types of simple experiences in Nature are - *for our children.* Well done ma'am. Carry on.

[ladysingsthebluez]

Beautiful, but was nervous for you all. I kept saying "Carter, please put Chilli down from the window". I didn't want the bears to see him. Too many for me in the same area at the same time. Be safe

What gorgeous creature! This happened to me in the smoky mountains and I did not mind at all they were just minding their own business, so beautiful!

Hi Ms. Bionca & little Carter. I just found your channel. I'm so excited. I decided to like & subscribe. I'm 65 retired & single. I'm shopping for a short class C motorhome for my 55 pound dog and myself, and I want to travel just like you. My grandbabies and great grandbabies will be joining me during the summer months. You are such a sweet mommy. Carter seems so happy & content. God bless you. Travelling mercies. Can't wait to watch the rest of your YouTube videos. Have you done a van tour yet?

Who else is screaming quietly “close the

[ourtinkerlife]

Wow amazing, your son is very fortunate to have a wonderful mom to show him the world (literally), many more adventures.

[ellbdotmusic]

Thank you so much for sharing. Not all bears attack.

[michellealvarado]

Omggg!!! Am surprised that Carter is that calm!!! Beautiful thou.

[patriciagrant]

Wow, your dog was so quiet, if that was Pepper he would have barking up a "Blessings" I really miss my Pepper..

[johnbroystonjr]

Hey Bionca!!! Those bears are harmless; folks drive through there all the time so they're used to close proximity. It's a great way to get within a few feet of them and a great way to obtain a lifelong memory for you both. Good job. SAFE travels, be careful out there and Thank you for sharing. 😎

[shavaunaronan]

That is so cool you were that close to the bears and other wildlife. Your little guy is getting an education that a classroom doesn't provide! Be careful out there!

[HOPE.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeClub]

Chili is good. My Yogi would be barking and growling, like what ? Bring it!

[Stephanie-leec]

Amazing. Neither of you will ever forget this.

[alloutjoy]

Thanks for appreciating God's creation. He is such a beautiful bear.

[leahr.]

How cool! It cracked me up when Carter said “more fit deer 🦌 “ lol
