Chill 😂
Cheap rv channel, Bob Wells. I like his channel he's done van life or living in vehicles over 20 + years. When he interview ppl.. there's ppl are weekend warriors or vacation travelers or van lifers. I learned alot from his channel from him interviewing all walks of life all the pros and cons . So I already made my mind up before I built my hotel sienna. I just want a hotel/ camper when I travel to see my kids and grand babies in Florida. Yes, haters out there calling on folks like myself fake vanlifer for not doing full time. 😅 well those jokers just making a name for themselves. I don't care what the clicks say. I'm doing my own gig not doing it for their clowness approval to fit the movement. I agree with alot what ya said here Alyssa. My channel is basically just on my two huskies my odds and ends be my update of my rig. Lol I lost my MOJO on filming my two huskies girls and doing very little to none with my van since my older brother unexpected death in July 2022. After he passed I have never been the same. I hear you on mentally and emotionally and physically roller-coaster off the rail rides. It's a must to focus on one's self. It's not easy it's been hard.. I dabble a little in workouts .. Just as you know the mind doesn't let ya rest. I applaud you for taking step back look into your inventory to see what you need and don't need in your journey of self care and recovery. 😊 take care ill see you when you're ready to put content out that's healthy and genuine ✨️. ❤️🩹💪🏽🫶🏼
Hi Alyssa - Wish you well at whatever you decide to do. Will miss your videos and thoughts on your daily life happenings. Hope you can purchase a vehicle you really like and become attached to. Take care and stay safe
Cheers from north of the USA border. 🌸🌺🌺🌸.
Love you Alyssa!
I just started checking your channel last week to see if you had posted. I'm with you about not having a big van. I just can't. I have an AWD hybrid sienna and it's perfect for me. Most of the space is my kitchen and my craft supplies with a bed thrown in to sleep. I care about cooking and crafting. That's it. Do you girl. Ignore people who say you need a van. Definitely ignore the ones who say you need to stay in an apartment (apparently a lot of basic people just can't be happy unless you're basic too so they come to vanlife channels and tell people not to live in their vehicles). Do you. Channel Jack. Hit some bars. Flirt. Sell crafts. Be happy.
I missed you. Buy a home and renovate it. We would watch no matter what. We love you and want you safe and protected. God bless you!!! If riding and traveling all over the world is what you want. Then do it I am here waiting to watch u. I will pray and send blessings to you always!!!
She already has a home…….i stopped watching her videos because she’s become not a true van lifer. Now she’s just doing it for fame and money. This her like 4th or 5th van she’s built out and sold.
screw off this society is so fake and nobody is doing anything to fix the issues of the world
The rate of the big gaps between videos shows van life isn't full time like lots of people, who try to convince us they're living 100% on the road @@douglasfoley2060
She doesn't need you Douglas
Buy a home? How about let her do what she wants and enjoy the videos 🤷♂️
I suffered a brain injury from a work accident. One of issues has been migraine headaches since the accident for the four years I had them every day my neurologist got them down to about half . I never had a migraine before the accident. I never realized how debilitating they are . I’m embarrassed to say between the migraines and other health problems I really thought about ending everything. I really think my family was what gave me the strength to continue. Being disabled has been very eye opening to who really cares about you .
Try Excedrin. I have suffered from migraines since my teens, been to all the doctors and tried all the prescriptions, none worked but over the counter Excedrin always works. I tell all migraines suffers about it and they tell me thank you because it's the only thing that works and it works fast.
@@blackcherry6877 thanks I’ll try it
I could not agree more. I also have health issues and have been dealing with migraines for too many years to count. If you don't mind some advice it would be to remove all chemicals from your home and personal products. People don't understand how man made chemicals are something the human body only tolerates, but we were not made to ingest or breathe in such things. It takes a toll on the body and those with illness and especially migraines are most susceptible. Change your detergent and all soaps to fragrance free, use only vinegar to clean your home. Removing chemicals allows the body to rebuild and your liver to cleanse. I'm always so sorry when I hear about someone else dealing with migraines. No one in my family had them. I was shocked when I started getting them. People who have never experienced them have no idea. Entire days get taken away. Your whole life changes with chronic migraines. It's hard. I wish you the best. Take good care.
This video made me emotional because you are so in tune with your heart, and it's so beautiful to see.
Thank you for sharing this with me 🥹🤍
She really is a special person.
Most people don't necessarily come for the ""van life"" content, we come for the personality making the content. Initially maybe yeah, but over time it's more about you as a person, what you decide to produce and what new adventure you are up to. Glad to hear you got back on top of the health issues. They can weigh us more than one can imagine. Look forward to see what you come up with next.
agreed, building vans are boring. personality all the way
My thoughts exactly! I'm now going to binge watch from the start.
Speak for yourself.
No one would have started watching any of these van life channels if it wasn’t for the whole living in a van thing.
I watch cause van life is interesting and I can’t ever do it so I watch these guys.
I missed you girl... why did you stop posting and what a short video
You are absolutely glowing ! I have to disagree with ya. You've never made a bad video. Your video making skills are fantastic. The editing is first class. So creative. I'm ready for your next adventure.
I totally agree! My road home is a Ford Explorer for 5 years, which was the smallest car that I could fully stretch out in and sleep well in. I’ve thought about getting something a little bigger, but always rejected the idea. I was recently discussing this with my new RL van friend. It’s an SUV life for me. So, I’m thrilled that you agree LOL! Can’t wait to see what you get! (and what you name it). I’m so happy you feel better. Great to see you! See ya down the road. Zoom zoom
the return of the queen! so sorry your migraines have been so bad, i can really sympathise. i’ve also really been struggling. so so glad you’ve found something that works for you. i can’t wait to see what you get up to next and i’m so proud of you for making a decision that will improve things for you. lots of love ily always
I'm so so happy to see you back, praying for your continued health ! I ❤ you Chiicki girl..Don't leave ever again !
Aww this makes me so sad 😭 you were one of the first “van life” CZcamsrs I started watching when you lived in your Toyota Yaris!! You motivated me to make the leap to living my car (Honda crv) and I’m still living that life now (in an actual van now). I can see the growth you’ve come to and can see that it’s probably for the best but you will be missed! 🥲
after hearing your story my opinion is you rock lady. keep on keeping on life is adventurous have a blessed journey.
Yes, please be authentic. Don’t put out content just because, and don’t compromise just for the algorithm. Stay true to yourself and we will continue to support and be with you thru here. Safe travels! I miss being on the road. PS I used to live in a Chevy Cruze and I pretty much copied your interior layout. That’s how I found you, and to this day you still bring value to my life. Thank you and take care! :)
Oh, and I thought it was so coincidental that you got the same type of van that I have (I have a Ford Transit Connect).
Girl! As someone with migraines I completely understand it. Go do your thang!
You go your way because we are all on a journey to find our best self. And only when we do what feels natural are we being authentic. I am 77 and have always traveled my own path. My life has been amazing and I still follow my heart. Please please follow your heart. Life is a shorter journey than you can fathom. You only have the now. I found you from watching winterisblu. He is a twin of a dear friend of mine Vince Miles, an actor writer director and producer. I connected to Mateo via Vince and stumbled upon you. My dear you are a shining star and you are just beginning to bloom to your full potential. Continue to follow your heart. The world needs more female warriors.
So good to hear from you. I'm glad you are feeling better. It sounds like your life is evolving in a direction that makes you happy. I have enjoyed your van life adventures, but I watch your channel mainly because of you, not just for your stories as a van lifer. You have a way of channeling your experience into something that seems more universal to me. Maybe it's the quest for freedom and adventure, combined with your sense of humor, that I enjoy so much. Anyway, I have found your stories entertaining and inspiring, and wish you well wherever your next adventure takes you.
I’m so happy for you and your plans!! Can’t wait to see your new car. Also, I used to have migraines that sounded like yours. Medication from my GP didn’t work so I decided to stop taking them and suffered 😅😅😅 what stopped my migraines is quitting my job - I HATED that job with a passion.
It doesn’t have to be van content, just making content would be fine! We like watching you as a person and it could be anywhere doing anything. We like your personality and who you are, it doesn’t matter that you are no longer in a van!
You look great...congratulations. I've missed seeing you post. Glad to see you have figured things out and will continue onward "road wise". I'll continue watching because I like your style. CHEERS...!!!
Lady, whatever you decide to do in your life, make sure you are happy doing it. Thank you for making this video and for just being yourself. Take care and you and your family and all highway lifers are in my prayers.
We've missed you but I'm so glad you're prioritizing yourself and that you are feeling much better, prayers answered 🙏🏽💜☮️😇
I so wish I lived near Texas, your Chevy City Express is the exact vehicle I've been looking for, I would buy it on the spot 💯 black ones are a really hard to find.
Thought about you a number of times and wondered how you were doing, so this video is a breath of fresh air knowing you are better and have a fun thing in mind for the future. Will be looking forward to your next post and can't wait to see what you create. Hugs and blessings ~
Road life is what you make it no matter the vehile you do it in. The wheels are just a tool. I occasionally stay in hotels or Airbnb because I want to and I can. Do what makes you happy and follow your heart. Here's to having many more amazing adventures ✨️ 🥂

I love your poems 🥹
You are a true inspiration. I support you and pray for your health and well being. Keep the sun 🌞 and nature by your side 🌄
So much said here resonates with me, you remind me of myself. There is no box I fit, it's ever changing and on the move. Life is the adventure ; )
So good to see you again . Can't wait to see you on the road again. And so happy you got the help you needed. You rock girl.
Happy for this video ❤️
Great to see you again!! Glad you're feeling better...
Your journey through life is exactly that…YOUR journey. Only you can decide on the things that matter most to you. Stay safe always and make your journey unforgettable.
Alyssa 👋
Thanks for posting this video. Whenever I watch Vanlife videos, I IMMEDIATELY think of you. I’m so glad you are doing okay (minus the health issues 😔)… you looked fabulous nonetheless.
I feel you on wanting to do things FOR YOU and your OWN WAY!!! No matter what you do, a lot of us will be there to support you. You are a vibe even when/if you’re just chilling.
Take care of yourself and please stay healthy and motivated to do YOU!!! I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Ms. Alyssa Vanilla. 🖤
Totally would love to watch your videos regardless of how you travel! ❤😊
I sense a new found confidence in yourself vibe off your ' real and honest ' video....way to go girl....we love to see you whatever you do... wishing you continued health improvement and much luck with your plans..❤
you're one of those youtubers where i dont think a lot of ppl come to watch your channel because of what happening in the video, your personalty is contagious, love just tuning in to hear you!
I agree
Good for you!!! I love fast paced travel and enjoy seeking out all the adventures myself... so I understand the idea you have of getting back to that... starting out in a tent people thought i was crazy taking long road trips just to experience all that life has to offer... now i have a van but i move so fast that most people ask why i don't sit still and just do things in the van.. but that was never my journey or mission to do so... This will be an awesome new/revisited chapter!
I’m definitely not here for van content. I love watching you share your life experiences - wherever they take you.
Wow it's great to see this young lady, we miss you beautiful ❤
❤ we missed you
I’ve missed you too! More than you think
Magnesium oxide 400 mg everyday, it will take 2-3 weeks and you will feel 100% better.
Yes it helps my neurologist told me to take it with Vitamin B2
5:56 so happy you discovered what’s true for you❤
Just discovered your channel. Exactly what I needed to see this morning. Thank you ❤️
Good to see you again 😢 that you wasn't coming back keep on driving your pretty car.
I totally get it. I recently moved into a van, but I find myself still thinking about when I was doing this in my Ford Ranger. I'm older, so a van is the better decision, but I still fondly reflect back to those days.
Good to see you again Alyssa. Hope you're doing well. Unfortunately my home was hit by a Tornado, just another thing to add to a long list of what I've been through. Seeing you today have really made my day. I miss seeing your positivity despite all of life's challenges. Now comes the challenge of salvaging what is still good and rebuilding. It's a long process but it can be done. Best wishes to you and continue to take care of yourself. As always stay safe. Love you
Wow Alyssa. 1st you look and sound great. 2nd, I love your wisdom about what you said about your current vehicle. This is my favorite video of yours. Happy travels!
I would suggest a Prius as your next car. It gets incredible gas mileage with the added bonus of a larger community of ppl who live/camp out of it. 40+ mpg and you can use the AC / Heater in the car even when the car is off only using less than a half of gallon of gas over night. As well its they last forever. I usually fill up my tank around $26
Hi Alyssa I am so glad to hear and see you going back to your roots of the car life # Alyssa lives and loves life any where
Happy Saturday Beautiful Soul 🤗💙
Happy Saturday my OG 😙
Good to see you and hear that you are taking care of yourself. Also, part of figuring out what you want is knowing what you don’t want.
Welcome back! You look great.
We missed you TONS Alyssa!!! SO glad that you're feeling better now❤❤❤❤❤
Let your adventure touch others and as you travel through life don't forget to stop inhale and look back on what and where you done whether it's good or bad. Sometimes we as a person have to make adjustments to life. So don't regret any decisions you made, just use it as experience to get to that next level. In GOD speed😊
Glad you're doing better
Love seeing you living true to yourself 💪 there's no cheating, just call yourself a vlogger and don't be bound to labels ✌️
Love you, girl. Please keep us in the loop with whatever you plan on traveling in.
Oh girly, I can so relate to what you were experiencing daily. I suffered for two years from this and held on by a thread, going here and there to doctor after doctor after doctor and test after test after test. Thank God for the VA which I finally applied for medical care with and was accepted due to my time in the USAF, Honorable discharge and such. They saved my life and gave it back to me.
What I came to understand, was what is known or called cluster headaches, worse than migraines and daily, all day, are also known as suicide headaches as they are that bad and you aren't living as you are constantly suffering from debilitating pain, that you wouldn't wish on anyone. Tears would stream down my face, feeling like I would throw up from just moving and really wondering if I could hold on another day or hour. Once I was treated correctly, I had good days and bad, but it stopped being ongoing and then they stopped completely and I had a life again. I'm glad I held on in spite of wanting not to. So glad you've found the answers and you too are feeling life again and not just simply enduring the suffering. God bless.
For those of you with cluster headaches, if nothing else works and you're able to, look into taking mushrooms. Microdosing mushrooms has been great for my migraines. It may seem unconventional but when you've done everything else and nothing has worked, you reach a point where you don't care and just want relief. I microdose a couple times a month and I have virtually no migraines now. I might get a small one before a big storm or my period but it has been a game changer.
I’m so happy she is back 💗 I was recently missing her I started to rewatch her videos again and a new video pops ❤ girl take care of yourself that’s priority but please 🙏make content no matter about what. I love your content 😘 Blessings
Glad you’re back!! Now it’s a reuniting party like it never was before! All I watch is you, Matteo and Life with Anthony! Now that we have you back it’s going to be more entertaining!
I'm not the most regular viewer, but every time I watch you, I get a very special feeling that I associate with a period of my life that I treasure a lot. And that period was when I first started living in my cat. Watching you reminds me of that lonley-me time- adventurer feeling.
Im in a car and i love it. Stealth is easy. I can park pretty much wherever i want. I get over 40mpg on the hwy. I dont attract attention. The space of a van would be cool but it would also come with other problems. Im team car
I can totally relate. I went from an SUV to a Prius for better gas mileage. Now I go everywhere and don't think about paying for gas. I considered a van but I'm happy in a car with climate control and great gas savings. Thanks for your wonderful videos!
RP Beach...nice. Been there many times hunting for jewelry.
I just left CC (sold my house) for North Tx and building out a van end of this month.
Safe travels to you...maybe see ya on the road sometime.
Wow. Of all the van lifers the algorithm has thrown at me, your closing remarks resonated with me most. I’m looking forward to starting a similar chapter of my life very soon. Totally agree that the US national parks are unmatched in the world. Since you mentioned John Muir, one of my favorite quotes of his:
“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul”
Hope you get your migraines under control and feel 💯!!
Remain focused on the present....
Be grateful for the good things ...
...and be grateful for the lessons in the bad things...
Be happy ...be free....be you...❤
Do what makes you happy! I watch for you, not your van! Love your personality!
always do what you want to do, listen to no one else, as they are not you. Good luck and happy travels!
She’s gorgeous.. not even going to lie. It’s why I started watching her then I was dragged into her adventures. So I hope she finds what she wants.
"Sickly Victorian woman by the seaside," I KNEW there was something I meant to do with my life! LOL I'm so happy that you're feeling better and coming to terms with what YOU want. Do that. We'll be here whenever. Hope to see you somewhere down the road...
Waking up with the hangover head pounding sounds like a problem some campers get exposed to called carbon monoxide poisoning because the space is to small using up all or most of your oxygen while you are sleeping.
Co2
Do what’s best for you being present for one’s self is what’s most important.
Hey Alyssa, check this out. I've been getting migraines for-eh-ver. And I got to a point where I had a migraine ALL THE TIME, and nothing, including triptans (which is crazy -cuz that's what they're for) would get rid of them. I can't remember exactly what it was that made me connect the dots, but I realized that brushing my teeth whenever I started to feel "the headache" sneaking up on me again prevented the entire migraine process. Seriously. -Most importantly, brushing my entire mouth (roof of my mouth and tongue was crucial. ....Because of Nitrates. Nitrates stick around in your mouth after eating, and this was the culprit. I know it sounds simple -but has totally worked for me, and might work for you as well. Brush your teeth whenever you feel your body moving in that direction -how ever many times a day you need to. Pain in the butt, but worth it. -Give it a try ;) ~Steph
God Bless you this is your life and your destiny make it make sense for you. See you soon.❤ We Love & support you. ❤
So glad your better , your aura is just glowing . doesn’t matter what you drive or live in just happy to tag along with you.
Welcome back and hope all goes well for you. Be Safe
Girl, I feel you with the migraines. If I'm out shopping and get one it feels like torture to drive home. I can only imagine how it must have been for you being in the van. It also makes one more vulnerable and that's not good. If something were to happen we need all our wits and strength. Migraines take that away. I'm so so happy you feel better.💪🏽💪🏽I know what it feels like to see a decrease in migraines and it does feel like freedom. I want to celebrate your freedom from that hellish pain. Comparing it to a constant hangover is the perfect description. It's fn hell.
You just bought it!
Very nice video 📹 presentation. It is important to do what makes you the happiest. So happy you took of your health and are feeling so much better. Look forward to seeing your new vehicle. See you on the next one adventurer ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
I work Hospice, and your one of my absolute favorite you tubers… I too get out every now and again (out of my reality) and escape into other parts of Texas in my vehicle… So happy to know you are still here with us, please 🙏 stay safe out there…
Glad you're feeling better, lady! Do whatever makes you happiest. It's a great vehicle, but it just doesn't match your vibe. Excited to see what you end up going with!
Listening to you speak is refreshing, not to mention that you are absolutely beautiful...
Your authenticity is why I love you.
Love this for you!! I honestly loved your car life era 😁 I hope you have a rad summer!
One more thing. Where there is a situation, there is a solution. 😊
I’m glad you’re finding some solutions to control your migraines. I hope you find a vehicle the truly suits you. Welcome back!🙏
So glad to see you feeling better! And I'm so proud of you for not going with the crowd and embracing your authentic self!! Im on a similar journey, so I feel every bit of what you're saying.
It's not an easy road, but once you embrace it and focus on your needs, it is the most freeing feeling ever!
I wish you all love and light and can't wait to see where this journey takes you! ❤
So glad to see an update and hear that you're prioritizing your health. Selling your current vehicle and moving back into a car sounds like it makes the most sense for you...I look forward to seeing whatever new adventures you have planned!
A fascination with "Van life" brought me here and your personality kept me here, I'll look forward to what ever you have in store for the future.
I literally watched a few of your old videos today thinking of you. Good for you caring for your health and I'm glad you're feeling better and getting back to what works best for you.
Your health is most important Alyssa. I'm glad you are on your healing journey! Peace and health and blessing be unto you!
I am happy that you are feeling better. My friends keep telling me that I should live in a van. I love my Honda Accord. It is the perfect car for me. I just don't need all that space and I feel like I can be in stealth mode more in my car. You have been missed. I can't wait for more content. Your videos are really great. Thank you for posting.
It is nice to see you again. Great to hear that your health, ability to enjoy life, and therefore motivation to go on, are all improving. I would gladly give you 20 different pep talks, but I also recognize that I have been lucky to have led a life where my body has never let me down, never given me reason to question whether I could go on and have great things happen in the future. Your mind and spirit deserve to have been dealt a better hand in terms of a body that does what YOU need it to, rather than just being outwardly beautiful and desired by others.
So fantastic seeing you! And seeing you feeling healthier! I wouldn't care what you were travelling in. It is YOU that makes the channel 😊
Alyssa, I have also dealt with severe migraines to the point of almost giving up. A friend recommended Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic. After about 3 months of weekly treatment my migraines completely went away. Please look into this treatment, it adjusts the top vertebrae of the spine connecting the neck to the head. Best of luck !
Your videos are far from boring. Life is about our personal evolution. Knowing who you are and what you need is half the battle won. You are already a success! Looking forward to what’s next for you. 😊
Daith earring saved my life.
I hope you feel like yourself soon.
So happy to hear you are feeling better !!
Great to see you and when you're ready we will be here. And that quote like you say is by John Mayer. I love this guy. You really have to see one of his shows when it's possible. Take care❤😊
Its good seeing you again ,and look forward to more in the future. Take care , and know that you are loved by hundreds of people .
Hey Melissa, it's great you are better, & are about to do everything that you want to do & haven't been able to. I'm pretty sure I'll keep watching you no matter what your content is about. All I ask is that you PLEASE be careful while visiting national parks. There is an entire season of "Missing" & it involves national parks. Just trust your judgment & keep your protection close. Looking forward to you next phase of your life.
It is nice to see and hear from you again. I'm glad that your health and mental well being is improving. Alyssa live the life you want. Too many people spend their life working at a job they hate. If people care for you than they should want the best for you. This is your life story. Turn the page and start a new chapter. If you decide to share it with your fans, we will be waiting and rooting for you. Be safe, happy and healthy. Thank you for letting us know how you are doing.
Awwwww I missed your energy! You do you girl! ❤
