Living full-time in my rolling tiny home has been the best decision of my life. Off-Grid living offers a peace and connection to life that you just can't explain. When i first started van life i build a stealth camper van with the mindset the you had to live a stealth van life and i soon discovered that you can just live the city van life and boondock in the countryside and as long as you are respectful of the backcountry and cities you live in. Stealth van life in not necessary. Be proud of the life you choose to live, Share this van life journey with everyone. Remember Tiny Homes and The whole tiny house lifestyle is very popular and #vanlife is no different. When you don't hide it people will come say hi and ask you questions. The world is more curious than hateful. Well......Welcome to my everyday van life adventures. My name is Chrome Valdez and i travel full-time with Cruz the bulldog. Stay weird everyone and thank you for being here.

Dude you have the biggest family in the world right here. Thousands of people truely care.

[ghaywood]

Chrome I am sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my mom to cancer, and no matter what your mom will be in your heart forever.

[albertarose]

Chrome, I do death. Please know it’s sacred ground. It changes you and makes you realize how precious and fragile life is. Go be with your Mom. Try to be there if you can when she passes. You won’t regret it, I promise.

An old man's advice: Go to the hospital, see if they'll let you in. Often, when someone's time is near, they will let you in. Make the effort, it will be worth it.

[stevejones]

Unfortunately losing your parents is in life's design. It doesn't get easier. I remember losing my mom, and at middle age, I truly felt like an orphan! My love and prayers for both you and your mom.

[rosemariehogan]

99% of the time, I prefer to be alone with my little dog, too. Have been alone since 2006 and intend to stay that way.

[evelyndole]

You are not alone!!! You have the best partner you could have!!! He will never stop loving you, seldom will criticize you, comfort you with out asking why, and will defend you to the Who is that? CRUZY BEAR

[mariehall]

Chrome, your mom seems to have lived her life on her terms. You are living life on yours. But please don't have any regrets. Make sure you say I love you and make sure you say goodbye even if you do it privately to the moon and the stars. It's a simple but very important gesture. Best wishes!

Oh, Chrome, my heart goes out to you and everyone involved in your mom’s health situation. Every time I hear an update, I’m instantly reminded of the year of struggle my mom (and I, being than only child and the one helping her with everything/making decision) had before she ultimately moved on from this part of her journey. It was ROUGH to say the least. A lot of your mom’s situation sounds very familiar. My mom was diabetic and chose to live her life the way she wanted, despite doctor’s recommendations. She was doing ok until she wasn’t. She went in for one surgery and it was all down hill from there. I’m sorry to hear that your family is going through this. The number one thing that helped me was to comes to terms that we all make decisions and are responsible to our own actions in life and, unfortunately, for my mom, she chose to live a lifestyle that ended her time here on earth very early (58yo). I hope this helps you too and I wish your family strength during this transition.

Single 12 years and I am so happy it is the best thing I've done for myself and you are right .. I do not have to baby sit somebody else's bad mood

[vanpiper]

My mom had a brain aneurysm the only thing that was keeping her alive was a machine so my sister and me had to make a decision. We had to let her go she's in a better place now.

[FerminStlCardinals]

Hey Chrome, ..greets from Curaçao (Dutch Caribbean). Hold on tight man...moms are special. My prayers for you and your mom, I have lost mine 4 yrs ago to cancer, seems like yesterday. But..keep it up man...you are not alone...you and your 160+k subscribers are in this...

[jamesfrommanitoba]

I’m not saying it’s the right thing for anyone else but for me the best things I have done in my life is spending time with friends and family before they passed. Peace be with you Chrome

[karitunes]

I'm now 56 and I've been alone since I was 39. Dated one guy for 2 yrs but single other than that and I've found that I truly enjoy being single.
Sorry about your Mom. My Mom passed when I was 37. It's hard but we're here for you! Much love to you and Cruz

[Dr]

Chrome! Sorry to hear about your Mom. Don’t worry about the channel. Go be with your mom while you can. We’ve all got your back and will be here when you get back. Regret is a tough thing to deal with. Hang tough buddy!

Sometimes being alone is pretty awesome

[MarkCanty]

Having lost both my parents to cancer at different times, I understand it's scary - I was lucky and I'm the youngest of three brothers, so I had support. Just take the time you have to be with your mum when you can, try and make sure she's comfortable, and remember it's ok to NOT be ok. It's fine to randomly get sad even before you lose someone because you know it's coming (and especially after). I take death better than most nowadays, after some practice, I mostly remind myself that when they go, it's often a release from pain, and not being religious, I just think of it as a release for them, from pain and worry. We get to carry on worrying for them! Take care, man, and give Cruze lots of hugs.

[FrithRa]

Chrome, I've been a long time viewer but don't comment much. But I just want to say that I totally understand what you're going through with your mom. I just lost my grandmother recently to cancer and it's really rough when you're not even sure what you can do. I wish you nothing but the best as you and the rest of your family go through this process. Your mom seemed like a great person from what we saw of her in the videos and we're fortunate we got to meet her in some form before this all started. So thank you for doing what you do and sharing your life and story with us. Even the hard stuff. Because that's how you stay real in this crazy world we live in.

Single life has been a huge blessing for me. I now have peace, fun, and $$$.
