Tour of a Nomad Living in a Prius

Today we meet Lester who is happily living in a Prius and getting 40 mpg! After losing his wife, Lester decided to continue their shared dream of traveling! But instead of leaving in an RV as they had planned.. he downsized into a Toyota Prius. Lester loves traveling with his 2 dogs. He has made a wonderful, cozy home and a bed that fits his 6' 1" frame!

Great words of wisdom. "Dont wait for the perfect rig until you hit the road " "Use what you have, work towards what you want " perfect!

Deep condolences to this gentleman on the loss of his wife. How wonderful that he was able to go forward with the plans they had made and that he has a rewarding life that he will enjoy for hopefully many many more years.

I am always amazed by how ingenious nomads can be! I enjoyed your story Lester, keep on keeping on!

I used to live in my 1991 Honda Accord when I was in my deepest hole of darkness, it was the most rough time in my life that I had no other choice but to throw everything that was important to me in my car and just drove around town day after day and realized I ended up living in my car as my moving home. There was a time I didn't even have a penny if someone asked, no money for gas to drive here and there, no money for food. But time went on and I got through some way, somehow, and still survive until this moment. Thanks Heaven above !!!

Use what u have and work for what u want 💯

[darwel]

I am waiting for the nomad superstar living in a Miata!
Bonus points if the front seat is intact!

[CaseyLouis]

A good description of minimalism. Hats off to Lester.

[timgoodsell]

There is no freaking way I could live like this but I have endless admiration for this guy. Talk about taking control of your life! Very, very well done.

[switchpathbyamypreston]

I'm only 4 minutes in to the video and already love Lester's attitude! God bless him and you as the adventures continue!

[lauraj.]

Use what you have until you get what you want. I really like that!

Lester is so positive despite the loss of his wife. Still, he continues honoring her memory by not giving up on their dream of traveling. Very clever setup. Loved this video.

Lester is darling and full of wisdom!
I'm so sorry for his loss as I'm sure he and his wife would have had so much fun.
I'm glad he decided to go ahead and live their dream - him and his puppers!
His home looks very reasonably comfortable and I hope it continues to keep him and his furry family happy.
Thank you Bob for bring us Lester's story of his life in a Prius!
It still seems a bit crazy but we really could see he's making it work for him!

[bque]

Congrats Lester. Just go! Time is ticking for us all. Nice setup.

Bob is still the best YouTube interviewer I've seen. He has such a nice way of talking to just about anyone, and he stays on topic and makes others feel comfortable. Kudos Bob!

Lester, you give me and my chihuahua, Dusty, hope. My husband passed on suddenly 2+ years ago. I bought a Prius in anticipation that one day I may need to live in it.
Was in a new relationship living in his home, but that has ended. In two weeks, my pup and I will be full-time in the car. There are so many details to be worked out, it’s overwhelming at times, but I think it’s doable. I’m in Florida but would like to travel.
I’m so sorry you lost your wife. I admire your positive attitude and hope to continue to have hope and peace myself. Your pups are adorable!

Thanks Lester. I just hit 1yr in a 2004 Prius with solar. Minimalism is key in such a small space. 🤠🙌😎

Life is short. Take nothing for granted. Live to the fullest.

[fenraven]

I have a paid for Prius, and I'm giving serious thought to hitting the road in it. Its small size gives me pause, but everything else about it is a plus, especially environmental control. I also bought a Habitent. I keep wondering what I'm waiting for! Lester gives me encouragement to get out and do it!

[buckjones]

One thing Lester has that is very important in all aspects is a great attitude!! Thank you both for staring my Sunday off we other d S inch positivity!!!

[ellpat]

This was perfect for me to see. I have old Yukon Denali. 2 very large dogs. Your in a Prius with a pup. I think I can do this. Thank you!!!
