#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 wanted to say that I you girl!! I absolutely LOVE what you said at 24:43 because that's EXACTLY how I feel! When our van broke down, I didn't ask for anything from anyone as I felt a conviction that I couldn't dare expect or ask anyone to fund my family's personal travels....esp when there are people that don't have jobs that are really struggling. I'm so thankful that I do work for a company that allows me to work remotely and yes, it did take me a month to get an RV it happened and everything happened for a reason. I had an option to get the engine replaced but simply didn't want to. Just like when we left our apartment...we could've stayed, but I simply didn't want to. After getting the head gaskets replaced and then a week later, the motor (which if I would've gotten the engine replaced initially, it would've resolved the head gaskets issue plus would've been around the same price) - I simply saw no point and sought to pursue what I really wanted...getting an RV (my reasonings for an RV is/was similar to yours).


I think a lot of people don't get that especially when they see us doing something different like this. I've had people make all speculations about my situation or assume we've lived in a bad place prior to vanlife. I know you know we're both from STL and ironically went from that life of high rise apts and flying a lot with our kids (btw I REALLY HOPE we'll meet each other one day!) but I felt you SOOOO much on that part that I just had to stop the video and let you know that I truly respect and admire you!

Wow. I honestly can't believe you had to explain this. I honestly believe that the individuals who are questioning your status are the individuals that have not seen your videos from the beginning. For those whom been here with you during the journey... NO EXPLANATION NEEDED!

I love your journey, and you are truly an inspiration. As an LPN I feel my child would benefit like your son.

I’m new to your channel and I respect the path you’ve chosen. Unfortunately, some people are judgmental of things that are different than the norm or that they don’t understand. A simple life with focus on family and service is a beautiful life, IMO. This is YOUR choice for YOUR family. So, now that you’ve answered questions and concerns, please don’t stress what others think or continue to explain. You owe no one but that beautiful child of yours that you are doing a fine job raising. Stay kind and stay safe. Watching you in South Carolina.

As for merch, Many YTers use Teespring.com. You do not need money to open up an online shop. It is print to order.You can design the merch yourself or hire a designer. They also do mugs, have phone case etc. Blessings

Hi Bianca, Carter & Chili 🌶 Keep hearing about you so I finally sub, I’m also in Single mama travel FB group, from watching a few of your videos I’m seeing we have a few common interests/ goals ie travel trailer, family campground etc, if you haven’t already figured out how to run your merch line there are companies that handle everything, design, print, ship etc you just tell them what you are imagining, I’m sure google can provide their names makes it easy for anyone especially nomads, much peace n love to you ✌️ Marta in Phoenix

In order to apply for grants you need
A. Become a not-for-profit organization
B. Find a fiscal sponsor by linking up with an 501c-3 not-for-profit orgs (this is the fastest and easiest way) please note they may take a fee out no more than 0-7%
Open up a separate bank account for just your volunteer work. Whatever you do, DO NOT MIX YOUR PERSONAL WITH your business. blessings
