Solo Female Traveler lives VANLIFE in a 4x4 Expedition Vehicle ► | Mercedes Unimog Tour

this is a new mark not ours but this is a [Laughter] [Music] the last place you look [Music] [Music] by the Carmen he really loved day to day I am and I add to the inm because a visa now to Corona Kovac 19 in 2020 that's when you watch this video we couldn't leave the country we cannot go down south dakota mala is closed police is closed and the united states are closed so we thought we'd just get an extension of our visa so that's what we gonna do now but we got a minute message as well from Britta she was traveling in her uniform with us in Baja and United States in me know a long time so check out what she has to say hello family Isabella greetings to live and give long time no hear but is everybody I'm stuck in a shutdown camp luckily at the Caribbean ocean I'm in quintal room Mexico and I hope we will meet soon again as soon as the roads are open keep it rolling [Music] right up here tomorrow and now go and enjoy the Toro print it's an awesome vehicle she bolted there so check it out I won't be watching [Music] I'll bet the planets been without me cause everything has been without me son [Music] and everyone will be alright [Music] don't bother I think we're in an era where you are from Germany near Innsbruck no market and this behind us is hard truck and Britta now will show us will give us the tour of her truck that is made by herself right not alone but I was part of the process I mean drilling screwing everything just driving it I'm not a mechanic say yeah let's see so this is actually a 1980 mercedes benz only mock ex-military german military as far as i know it's from from a medical squat okay this is also the reason I think well this beautiful hatch I like so much never had like a real yeah measurement fall for for machine-gun or something so I can use it as a crawl through together to get on my roof which I really really do a lot yeah and why you decided you know Mach there is a reason behind I don't know why I always liked bounnam Oaks I'm in general someone who likes big stuff no matter if it comes to cars or animals or whatsoever the clearance I'm able to go everywhere with that other people turn around when there are big rocks I just smiled people and going nice and it's sort of special and I simply didn't want to drive around in a car everybody else and I really like them for years now and I think it's also a good idea to go with something like that a really pure and simple engine let me have a breakdown in the middle of South America I will always find someone being able to free kick that engine and this is really easy to fix at least I hope that's my that's the hope I'm carrying around you know get stuck I turn on a four wheel I turn on differential okay and it works out yes until now so I'm pretty nice ten million question miles per gallon miles per gallon I can tell you since yesterday it should be around 12 miles per gallon in German measurement it's 20 to 23 litres per 100 kilometres even though I weigh seven and a half tons so it isn't that bad it should be a five liter engine but I can only tell you for sure that I'm running with 130 horsepower which isn't that much for the weight I'm carrying okay that means all the people really love that Rick and I always tell them wait until you're behind me when we're going uphill you will not like me anymore so I'm running on diesel of course and I built in this 500 liter diesel tank the original tanker will see it on the other side as I said 150 litres but definitely is not enough for the the regions I want to go this should bring me roundabout at least 2,000 kilometers this little door is not my emergency exit it is to empty the toilet tank you can open it just pull out the toilet tank a sense okay I'm getting a conversation storage boxes of course of the outside I mean you can never have enough storage room true no matter if you have a house or a car it will always get full yes and this is something special I really have to say thank you to my mechanic at home he built me this carrier for the motorbike out of an old democracy I bought and this was necessary to keep my out I couldn't have added some super-modern you know like carrier for that it had to be original and this is why we build it out of an old democracy that really was a piece of work for him to get it on the frame I can lower it down to 50 centimeters which was necessary for Germany to get to get it registrated and I of course can lower it down completely to the ground for mounting the bike so it's much more easier when you have another person with you this is the original tank I told you before okay I used that now for fuel for my motorbike I filled it up with normal regular fuel so I can fill up my motorbike when I feel like now the nice parts let's add a insights to the upcoming [Music] and now we are in the insides look at how much space you have here yes unbelievable can fit so many people yeah we had some parties going on believe me I know that was really something that was important to me to have a little bit airy and space okay I I've been asked a lot of people so why do you build such a big corn in walk you know like a little defender would have been also suitable for one person but actually it's not a three weeks vacation and I didn't feel like building something I only could crawl in for sleeping I mean I'm traveling full-time now and let's imagine it is a it is a three weeks rain periods and I don't want to just lie in there and look outside I want to be able to move in to sort of have a daily life oh this is why no one has to be like that the importance of parts of people is that she's traveling alone it's so cool like you're traveling alone yes why are you decided to travel like that no actually there is nobody around I want to have with me in this little space I mean it's really it's really a one people set up and actually there is no 101 I have with me all the time if somebody's interested please write the comments below she's going to South America another very special friend is hopefully coming for Christmas so I really look forward to that I mean there are pros and cons and traveling alone yeah the pros of course I can do whatever I want to drive as long as I want park wherever I want on the other hand you often drive by sceneries or landscapes you feel like oh god did you see that you simply want to share with someone and it's nobody there this is this is the negative sides okay yeah but I'm really okay with traveling alone do you would say for people out there that's afraid it's your goal and travel alone because all the phones they are afraid yes I talked up to a lot of people who always taught me you're crazy I would never dare to do that so yes actually the term I heard most since I'm here is I'm a badass obviously I don't feel like you have but it is possible you can go alone even though you're a woman it's all been done before I'm not the first one you know get your possible cool and your next plan then after the u.s. USA you wants to go where after the US will be crossing into Mexico and go to Baja okay so let's say one or two months okay and then it's Mexico mainland picking up my other visitor okay and from that on I will simply head down south I didn't pick a route yet you know it's yeah all open from one day to the other yes then you will see more for her because for sure we will cross paths we will meet up again once I had this dream that I was standing in Osaka there was a Geisha and a refugee deep down in her pocket there was a tarnish silver locket if they dripped I will get that show as if she's waiting for the earth all the Asian man the car i sleepwalk and I did not hear I did not [Music] Starcross teenage lovers trying to keep their secrets [Music] and now a leader to see the insides first thing that is impressed is this big window on the back yeah which was very important because I simply need a bit of an outside feeling even if it's like at night or bad weather or whatsoever nice and yeah as I don't have like a rooftop window which I originally wanted I decided to build a big big rear mirror I can look out when I lie in bed I can open it put up this curtain and it's 100% like I not blackout then here's our sleeping room we already saw bats yes which is also my biggest storage room I have everything I need under those best my clothes my tools my everything I can show you the strong moments you looks like this and I still have room so no need to put up more cupboards nice something like that great you know and then after that we have the bathroom that was really important to me that I could you know like go with my own toilet that I don't have to look for a toilet right after waking up or whatsoever and a little shower which is unfortunately still only running with cold water oh but when you look here at my solar system and all this electronical setup the fact is that I'm producing way too much energy you can pass analysis so I can I will install something to heat up my water like electrically and here then you have here yeah just like a little neat a room yeah okay actually I'm not sitting here a lot most of the things I do I do in my bed as I always did but when it goes about you know planning a rude with a map or something like that I said here put on some music and night Vera might be going me and this is a large this is my water tank actually I put it inside to make it you know like not being able to freeze when I'm in cold regions and of course the possibility of using it as it should if it was only up till here this is why the good ends here this was the original measurement it would be exactly 150 liters but they made it longer so I think I should be around 200 okay something like that and then you also have a cross from I also have a crawl through this was besides the toilet the one mandatory thing for me I had this crawl through in my in the back of my mind and more less concept with the rest around it I'm alone let something happen you know in a middle of the night you have the feeling like oh god I got a leaf ants you for sure don't want to get out of the truck run around in the dark and climb in on the other side so I needed this crawl through to being able to get on my driver's seat and head off whenever I feel like my car is registered for free people I mean there are two like peasants you see okay but let's be honest that wouldn't be comfortable so one person and the driver this is the perfect setup for this year and a little kitchenette with a little electric stove glad that I never ever used up till now I have tried honest I cook on a little gas cooker I carry with me I could only use this one when I'm glück and on the outside so I think I should rebuild that so looking back I shouldn't have installed this I really have to talk to electrician to get this running more efficient your eyes and here then is a little fridge here's a little British yes nice building yeah little now now when I am complaining guys most of the time about the size of my fridge yeah I think like is really bad that's nice and here then is a little storage yeah this is just fun and all the stuff you need like my my pens are in there the garbage isn't there and this is the batteries for my solar system the thing is this was like a complete like a complete set but when we installed it it was pretty clear that one battery isn't enough so I had to buy a second okay just have a storage for this energy that's produced okay for the solar perfect you know it's really nice it right I love it this space here is a lot of storage for one and could be also for two people thanks so much you're welcome nice your theory I have an Instagram account noticed professional is yours is only mock under scroll over landing yes
