Trashy Van Life is Not Classy or Respectful

#vanlife

About us:
My name is Bionca and I have a 10 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

I'm reminded of a road trip I took a few years back. I stayed one night at a camp sight in the Sequoia National Forest, near Lake Isabela. There was trash everywhere. I picked up quite a bit while I was there, enough to fill a 13 gallon trash bag, though I didn't touch the ruptured bags of poop someone left at the base of a tree.

I appreciate the video. Single mother from Michigan wanting to get into van life. Thank you 🙏 This was confirmation for me to continue on my journey through life and van life is possible for me and my daughter too.

Hey Bionca,
This is Krista from Inglewood. Love you videos. ✌🏾🙏🏾💛

[Latanyabrown]

Yes!!! Agreed... watching from Las Vegas!!!!

I listened to the replay & girl you are right on point with this. No trashy keep it classy. This is the same for us hikers of pack it in pack it out & leave to trace. Not throwing your trash on the ground and going above by picking up someone else's trash that was left is honourable. Yes, and Classy too. 😉👍 I'm from Vancouver, WA. Out here on the West Coast.

Hi Bianca..Pam from AZ. I agree with you, hopefully this vlog will make everyone conscious about keeping thier camp site clean. Otherwise it might create problems for others who want to make living off grid a lifestyle.

Thank you that's an important issue that could easily become something ugly. Sometimes people just think it's someone else's job and that's crazy. Clean where you sleep, eat and play.👍🏾Asta Athens Georgia

I love your videos. I also love van life videos and agree. Leave it cleaner then I found it. I'm from Ashland, Or. I lived in an rv with the same (small) shower as your Van's and I liked it.
