  • ♡ Hey ya'll it’s Lananh here!
    It’s pronounced like “ luh nanh / la non.”
    because of covid, my friend couldn't go on this road trip with me because she didn't want to have to fly back which I understand completely. I held off this move for about 2-3 months and I just decided to finally do it and go by myself. I road tripped alone and I did it all in 3 days!!! I don't recommend driving 12 hours a day and taking very small breaks because I'm surprised my car didn't die on me haha. also, It was very emotional so im sorry if i cried a lot the first half of the vlog. I can't wait to see what this after graduating college life feels like!
    ♡ I know it’s kinda hard to say my name because it’s a Viet name so that’s why my channel name is the way it is!
    ♡ Thank you for watching me be super awkward on camera, please like and subscribe to my channel if you think i'm bearable lol!

    It’s kinda embarrassing seeing how many people watch me cry and the mixed emotions I was feeling now that people are moving and starting back up their life again. (I didn’t think this video would peak lol.) The trip was mentally/physically draining but I wouldn’t trade it for the world, it lead me to where I am now and I have absolutely loved the move. Not only that I can say that I moved to LA without knowing anyone, I also I DROVE myself there. The journey wasn’t easy, and I definitely get a lot of anxiety about how my life would play out but it’s been nothing but amazing. Please don’t hesitate to just do it. Be safe and if anyone wants to keep me posted on their journey or wants to be friends, y’all are more than welcome to talk to me on Instagram @luhnanh 🥰

      @@joycegayden44 it was really good I made it here in 3 days only stopped for gas , to use the restroom and to stretch my legs. I enjoyed being able to jam out to the music I wanted and only having to stop when I needed. It was emotionally challenging in the beginning bc I’ve always been dependent upon my parents for many things . I did lock my keys in the car at one of the stops I made but I got it sorted fairly quickly. I bought a taser before leaving as a form of defense since I was on the road alone and staying in hotels alone as a young woman. I recommend taking at least one solo road trip.

    I think it's really touching that you were willing to show your emotional vulnerability to the world of CZcams. I think most if not all of us watching this are rooting for you. Big moves and big changes are always scary and exciting and it's natural to be feeling those emotions, especially if you're going it alone and you're alone with your thoughts swimming inside your head.
    I did most of this same drive you did in December 2020; I went from Texas to California. It was also extremely emotional for me because I didn't really want to move. I didn't cry _during_ the drive though - I made sure to get all my crying (more like bawling really) done the night before!!! 😅 😭
    But yeah it was nice to see the same parts I drove through. Yes I remember the Border Patrol checkpoint (to catch illegal immigrants who have already crossed the border), and the signs warning about dust storms (I think that's probably more of a summer time problem though? Nothing like that happened when I drove).
    Also I think it's both awesome and crazy that you pulled over to take pictures at each state's welcome sign! I always take a picture from the moving car when I pass the sign but it seems a bit risky to pull over and then have to get back up to speed on the freeway lol.

    • @luhnanh
      @luhnanh  Před 3 lety +7

      Do it!!! I originally was gonna roadtrip with my friend and she fly back home but with Covid, she was scared and I don’t blame her at all but I’ve been waiting for way too long so I finally just forced myself to do and having the apartment move in date helped. I stopped at 2 hotels along the way. I should’ve made it a 4 day trip because I drove for wayyyy too long but I don’t regret it anymore. But since you’re coming from Florida I would make it a 5-7 day trip and actually stop for a couple hours and explore!!

      ahhh that’s so exiting, I’m so happy to have places around me to hike now. There’s something so nice and peaceful about traveling on your own, you definitely have to entertain yourself somehow or you’ll be in your head haha. Yes I slept in a hotel each stop but I would have smaller stops to find a nice one in a known area. Airbnb would’ve been cheaper but my timing to get to each spots were way off so I never knew where I would be by a certain time I wanted to stop driving.
