Thank you so much for letting me show off my home! I love this community and the nomadic lifestyle 🫶

"Being disabled is not a tragedy. How society treats disabled people, that's the tragedy. " What an inspiring story. Best wishes 🌻💛
-
Forgive me father for complaining that my life is difficult. You are a true inspiration. God bless you and keep you safe in your travels and endeavors.
-
I appreciate this! I am disabled (MS) and my family insists I can't live this lifestyle. I am excited about moving into a van and know I can do it, and you just proved it can be done!! 😊 thank you
-
This woman is incredibly inspiring. She makes me grateful for what I have in my life.
-
If fear is holding us back, this lady has just taken away that excuse. What a fantastic person !
-
You are a true inspiration! You make me feel like wimp w/my uncertainties & fears w/ just letting go & living life on the road. Keeping your dreams alive! Love it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
-
What an extraordinary woman. She's an inspiration.
-
Lisa, thank you for letting Bob interview you. You are truly a ray of sunshine to all of us, and also those who feel down, discouraged, or inadequate. You have a can-do attitude that just radiates from you! What a great example you are! 🥰
-
Holy smokes, yes sir, this is one heck of a BADASS. (!)
-
If there is ever a need to prove the adage, “It’s not what life deals you, but how you deal with it!”, this lady is the living personification! Thank you Bob, & thank you Lisa!
-
Dang - super impressive! As a mechanical engineer, she could make a full time living just helping Nomads (able-bodied as well as disabled) figure out creative ways to make everything in the van work! Great interview!
-
We are all temporarily able. Make the most of it!
-
Geez, I can never say "I can't . . . " again! What an inspiration and role model for the able bodied & the physically challenged!
-
“Outdoors heals,” So very true. Don’t let arthritis be an excuse. I have arthritis in both knees two orthopedics, said I need two total knee replacement, which I refuse to do. I deal with tremendous pain. Nevertheless, I still work I still walk I still work out. I still enjoy life. I refuse to let arthritis get me down.

I'm in a chair and want to travel so much...
-
Just Wow! A lady that knows how to live her life to its fullest. It would be interesting to interview her parents. I’m sure they had some impact on raising a such an independent , positive, and strong woman. Inspiring. ❤
-
Lisa is an amazing young woman, she is capable of much more than many people that haven't got a handicap. Her engineering skills surely have helped her a lot in being able to design such a very practical vehicle, with great solutions to stuff that could, and would have been extremely difficult to find the right answers for, but Lisa did it all. She is a really great example to all of us, go on Lisa and continue to make the very best of your life 👍👍👍.

I’m not disabled but those spring loaded drop down cabinets are super useful to me, I had to pause and sketch out the frame work to get an idea of what to do
-
I am speechless! Words aren’t adequate! What an inspiration! 🙌🏼
