Hoppy Easter 🐰 I’ve missed you so much
Happy Easter
Happy Easter!🐰
Try some youtube doctors. You might stumble on some solutions. It's like getting 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions. Most have plenty of free info just by watching their videos. Just kind of hunt around for what ails you.
Happy Easter. You’ve been and will be missed 😢
🖤
All my favorite van lifers are quitting and its so sad to see. But it makes me realize that maybe van life isnt something that lasts forever and here i am wishing i could give everything up including this big ol house i pay for each month and all the utilities. Its just really not worth giving up to quit in a year or however long its gonna take me to realize what I need in life.
Maybe its the traveling that gets me so essssited. So im gonna keep the big old house and buy a van to travel and then come home ❤
Thank you,
Teeya
Not sure what channels you watch but I know of now 5 van lifers that have quit or soon to quit . Just means this lifestyle is hard. It isn’t a long term lifestyle. Sure nice to do it for a year or two. My van life is more or less permanent unless things unforeseen comes up. I’m single and don’t see me ever dating or on a relationship
Oh sweet! Possible connections happening in the comments section!
I’m so for it! Where’s my popcorn…..
my sentiments exactly!!
😂😂😂😂😂 DUH
@@teeyaquintanaI'm not sure if that was a serious offer to the fellow, but if I were him I would seriously consider your offer....oh heck, I'd probably jump if it happened to me.
You and winterisblu all in one day so sad but your health is more impt
I literally was thinking the same thing. what is going on? everyone is taking a step back from social media at the same time.😥
@@melinaashley6100right…. I wonder if they like fell in love or something 👀 running away into the sunset togedder 😂😢
That would be the vanlife world wedding of the century ♥️😁@@harrypottah8889
@@harrypottah8889 that would be cool 😂
I HOPE SO 🤸🏽♀️👏🏾🙌🏾🦋🎯🎉🎊💯🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️
chronic illnesses are not easy to deal with, sending you lots of healing so you can get back to doing what you love whenver your body feels ready again 🥰
Miss Vanilla,
YOU are the star of the show, NOT the Van! We watch because of You, we enjoy your stories. Wherever your journey leads, we will follow. Thank You, many prayers on your road and please be healthy
Couldn't have said this better myself ❤
I watch because oF the van.
👏🙏👏🤍
Your eye for visual aesthetic / mood in film is so brilliant... i actually feel spoilt these vignettes are here for me to see (so thank-you so very much). And (And!) You're beautiful (those insightful musings and your brisket face is perfection). So that's nice too ;)
This is the sweetest compliment thank you
@@AlyssaVanilla another very well done video Alyssa! You really have a knack for production... maybe you can come up with another way to monetize your gift of talent while recuperating and based from home. Follow your heart and do what needs to be done to get your health back on track. Love & hugs!
I agree, I absolutely love the style of her videos!
Oh thank you for posting. We were worry about. Get your health under control you are important to us. Love seeing you get back to what is making you happy. 😊
Please take as long of a break as you need. We'll always be here when you get back, even if it's literally next year. Take all the time you need.
Proud of you to making the conscious effort to allow yourself to feel/heal/grow. I wish you strength in your journey. Most important is your health and peace.
Wait this can’t be a coincidence that you and winter is blu both are stopping van life and uploading the same day mentioning it🤔 we need yall!!!! We want yall!!!! But your health is way more important which I understand. Get better!!! Real supporters will be here if and when you return!💯💯💯
Because they are part of the “GET INs” 👁️
Heeeey Flango is crazy huh....but atleast we still have Anthony. Hopefully Alyssa and Mateo come back.
Winterisblu Never Said He Was Stopping Vanife He Said He Wasn't Sure As To What He Would Do
@@mulaxdot I understand what he mentioned lol but he’s stopping it for now until something else happens
@@MsPhillyG same here. Her health is more important but still
Sade is BACK
HAHAHA
Dude she does look like her!!! What a compliment! Gorgeous girls
Lol😂
Is it a crime! She does with her gorgeous self lol.
She certainly is a smooth operator.
Seeing is believing… so you damn right I believe! Native Texan here that’s been all over TX & did the road life thing in the 1980s. I had an old Dodge truck and Holiday rambler travel trailer. I share your love for Northern Arizona. But I let Health issues in my early 30s take me out of the game and go back to the city and my whole mainstream life which I regret to this day at 62. So resist making that mistake, sweetie. Hang in there! Whatever you do make sure wherever you hang your hat that you are free because you cannot be free in the city… no way, no how. I got trapped until 2 1/2 years ago when I finally said enough and I sold it all and I bought a little half acre homestead with a tiny cedar cabin nestled in pines on it. every time I open my front door I have to remind myself that I’m not a kid again on my Girl Scout camping trips When we used to come out here to the Pine Forest of East Texas. Have you ever seen the section between Lake Sam Rayburn, and Toledo Bend Reservoir? It’s like going back in time 30 years. Once I came out here to live, I started seeing some things in the sky. I took some advice to get infrared night vision binoculars… the kind for Skywatching, not goggles. I got the flight radar app, and the satellite tracking app, in order to rule out common objects. Anyway… That’s why I said seeing is believing. I don’t need permission from any government to tell me that I can believe in what I’m seeing.
I especially loved your music selection in this video, and I can’t believe someone your age would pick those songs. I think that’s what put this video over the top for me as your best video so far. I too have eclectic music tastes.
Good luck whatever you do. I’ll keep following you as long as you put out a video. You amuse me greatly. such people as we are, don’t come around very often and usually we get beaten down by the world into submission and into hiding. I like it that you’re not going quietly into submission and letting everyone influence you, but you are influencing others in the ways of a free spirit. Things would’ve been different in my day if I had the same access to technology that you do. So I kind of watch you for weird reasons that I wow see how’s I would be different if I had all this tech when I was road tripping. I hope that you just keep kicking it around the way you have & exploring things for whatever reason you want to explore them. Just always take some time out to look up when it’s clear skies and watch the others who are here “road tripping” as well. ☮️
A beautiful post chelsea... just wanted to compliment you for it. And, say that seeing is believing. I have seen things as well but on the west coast. I don't know what they are or, who they belong to. But I do know they are up there. People should look to the skies more day or night, maybe you will be lucky enough to see the watchers as well. Really liked your post. God Bless!
Glad you are getting the help you need. Take care
Baby steps, short trips, rest. Good to see you again Alyssa! Take care, heal. ❤️🩹
Happy Easter. So good to see you again. Health is your first priority. Please continue to get better and as always stay safe. Love you Alyssa
I care! Thanks for checking in with us and giving us an update. I wish you only the best, and hope to see you again some day.
I use to have horrible horrible headaches, sometimes migraines. Found out mine were from dry eyes. I use eye drops daily now and it has helped 98%. I hope you find something easy to take care of yours. I know it's a horrible way to live. Take Care!
I suffered from migraines & fatigue in my early 20s. I finally realized it was MSG & preservatives. I started eating very clean at 25. I’m now 40 and feel like I’m in my 20s. Maybe your migraines are coming on more due to more takeout food. Love your videos & hope you feel better.
My mom used to tell me to listen to my body, it tells us what it needs and I know this to be truth. Listen to your intuition and do what you need to do to take care of yourself. I am a fulltime nomad myself and I have been stationary the past few months home in Louisiana and the mountains are calling. I start my journey west on Saturday. I'll catch the eclipse in Texas and then make my way to NM. Namaste Alyssa
The main characteristic of life seems to be that it is an alternating series of ups and downs, one following the other as night follows day. You might simply be worn out from the trials you have faced while living the vagabond life and the pressures of creating YT content. Good luck going forward to whatever comes next and thanks for the entertainment you have provided. Wishing you all the best!
My God, young lady. I was actually worried about you!! So glad you posted ❤
You just take care of yourself. We’ll be here when you’re ready. Much love ❤️
Alyssa, your creativity and gorgeous aesthetic are both off the charts. The quality of your videos is very unique and special, so artistic and inspiring. Thank you!!🙏🏻❤️
I think that it takes more courage to cease/postpone an adventure than it does to continue on if it puts one at high risk. Best of luck getting back into travel shape. You will know when to resume.
I have been hospitalized for kidney failure and congenital heart failure this winter , spent a total of 3 weeks in the hospital and another 2 weeks in physical therapy rehab. I am still in Quartzsite and plan to travel around AZ. a little before heading east in June.
If I can do it with My health at 59 You can do it! Don't let health problems steal Your dreams.
I wish I had hit the road when I first got the urge but I put it off for almost 5 years trying to get healthier.
Like I said before just follow Your dreams. A bad day on the road is still better than a bad day inside 4 walls!
You are 100% Right! I shared my Story with her so here it is... "Get well girl you deserve it for yourself. I'll share something that Worked for me. 1 year ago i took charge of my Life after being Sick off and on with COVID. since beginning of COVID I developed and diagnosed with few Autoimmune D/Os. Severe hypertension only medications could bring down. Thyroid disease and a few others. I was on medications for 5 years! So again, 1 year 3 mos. ago I Went on to start with KetoCarnivor and slowly came off some meds. Lost some weight too as I was very overweight. Then went Strictly Carnivore and lost rest of Weight and am off ALL 5 MEDICATIONS and No More Disease. I haven't felt this Healthy in Years. Now over 1 year, again no meds and no diagnosed Diseases. Maybe it's something you can consider. Research Research Research and don't believe the NaySayers." 🩷🩷🩷
Your health is more important than anything. Take care of yourself before anything because without your health, nothing else is possible. I wish you a fast recovery and hope you find relief from your migranes and anything else youre dealing with. You got this
Dude because of you girl im considering starting this life.❤ thank you for showing us ur life. Also i heard the ring notification and came here so fast 🏃♀️ ❤🎉🎉🎉 i would love to meet up with u one day when i start my journey!!! Your someone i see myself getting along with!
I hope you do it! I’ll see you on the highway girl
You being real helps not only you sis, but it helps others as well. Thank you for sharing this with us. Blessings.
When it doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel right. I can understand that. Take your time and feel better. Happy for your update today:)
I just checked your channel this morning to make sure i hadn't missed any videos. And here u are! Peace n love sis ✌🏾💪🏾 wishing u safe travels no matter where life takes you 🫡
Nice seeing u on here also take care. 🤛🫶🫰
After traveling in Mexico for the past five months, I crossed the border into Texas on Friday and am working my way west to visit family. Ironically, I drove by Prada Marfa today and can confirm the winds in West Texas were still crazy strong. Hope the days ahead are full of richness and joy!
West Texas is beautiful super cool alien exhibit! So happy to see you back! Love those boots !!!
Area 51😬🫣 lol 😅
I say this many times that,,, vanlife is very much romanticized!! You can tell which vanlife CZcamsrs do it or not, I certainly don't.
In fact, Im in my 6th year now and seriously thinking of quitting it mostly due to financial reasons as my rig literally takes half of my income if not more every month and my rig is also my source of income. So when I do get rid of my rig, I'll also need to find a different income source. Perhaps, seasonal jobs and being creative.
I haven't even mentioned this on my channel nor socials, so I guess you heard it here first. 😂
You will always have a large following whether you!re in a van or not. You are a talented videographer and storyteller.
The message here is loud and clear: Dont take your health for granted !!! I know this first-hand as i have health struggles right now too, that are limiting what i want to do. Thanks for sharing what youve posted thus far. Hope to see you again as you have a talent for this !! Thanks for introducing us to that singer, wow. Keep well and safe.✌🙂

Your honesty is appreciated. Take the time you need, and hope to see you better than ever very soon ❤
health should always come first, and i think mateo ( winterisblu ) is feeling the vibes of traveling alone for a long periods of time with no real human contact, he and you looked so much happier when you were together in Q.S, Arizona. sit back, relax, get yourself together. when your ready, really ready, you will know. until then, peace and love to you.
Two of you leaving at the same time is very sad!!!!! You will be missed, but your health is the only important thing here. I wish you the very best and hope to see you back one day.
I just recently found your channel, and have been catching up on all videos.
You have an amazing aura and spirit. Thank you for sharing with us!
Cant wait to see you back here, when the time is right. 🙏🏻♥️
Was just reading through your last videos comments yesterday looking to see if you’d answered anyone about being MIA. So glad to see your posting today and glad you’re doing better. Stay on your health journey until you’re 💯❤. Thank you for sharing 😊
Both Alyssa and Mateo post that they are making major changes and taking a hiatus on the same day…what is the world coming to?!?! I do wish you the best Alyssa. Sending you love and healing!
You see it?....👀👀👀
Very Interesting! 🧐? together? 🧐
I see it too.. I love them both so much. I hope all works even better yet for them both ❤❤ nothing but love from Fort Worth Texas
I believe this proves VanLife isn't all it's cracked up to be.
I think they’re just realizing that Vanlife sucks
Wishing you the best in wellness and peace. 🌻
I think you will be happier settled in one place. You can take small trips but have a home base. Prayers for your good health
Take care of you! The road will always be there and so will we. Praying for your health and well being. ❤
Hey! She's back! Welcome!
You had me worried glad to know you are ok
I hope you have the support needed while in this season of healing. Take care. You have plenty of quality content for your community to binge watch. 😊
I’m so glad to see you here again. Please be careful. You are a beautiful young lady. May God bless and protect you.
Please take care of yourself Miss Alyssa! We will be here when you return at the best version of you OK! Thank you for the great content & praying for you always!🙏🏾🌹
Yes she is back!!!❤ who is exited?! 🙋🏽♀️ Positive vibes to everybody here 💗🐇 happy Easter guys 🐣
I loved that museum! One it’s DOG FRIENDLY ❤️ and it most definitely made me a believer 👽
Yep, I've seen alien craft and thought nothing of it as there were so many sightings around the same time in NZ. I found constantly needing to move on and feeling unwelcome in my van was bad for my mental health. It changed my life to accept paying rent. My endless horizon is in me. I found acupuncture totally cured the tension in my body. Good luck. Yeah, the good times on the road were great! Looking forward to being able to support some road camping in the future while keeping my professional development happening. You've got that sorted with your channel - great job Alyssa!
I was just thinking about ya this morning! Thanks for the update even though you’re not feeling well. Im happy that you’re so self aware and are taking a break to restore yourself back to optimal health ♥️🌸 I wish I could give you a hug but sending ya lots of love through the screen!🫂🦋 I hope life treats you well on your next ventures 🌈💜
omg it is so good to see you again!!! will comment again after watching but I hope everything's well with you 😇
everything is getting better! I love seeing you in my comments I hope you’re well angel 🤍🤍🤍
AHH that's so sweet thank you! im doing well, college is stressing me outtt but the semester is almost over. :)
this was such a beautiful video, I loved all the song choices and the Roswell trip! my friend and I wanna go to new mexico together one day!
and thank you for opening up to us, please continue to rest and take your medicines, and we're all here for you 🥰
I’m so sorry you’re still not feeling your best! I have what’s called crps (complex regional pain syndrome) since 2009…I woke up from surgery feeling extreme pain, that I still have to this day. I feel like I’m being struck by lightning 24/7……it has never stopped or decreased. Things like the wind blowing and road vibrations make me hurt more, if you can believe that! You need to do what’s best for you, your body, and absolutely, your mental health! The people who truly love you and your channel will still be here for you, no matter what! Sending prayers and soft hugs for healing and strength.
So glad to see you back. I hope you're feeling better real soon. You were missed!
Hi Alyssa, Happy Easter 🐰 🐣🪺. Take care of your health, nothing is more important than your health ❤❤❤❤❤
Not being able to do the things I watch on YT because of my health issues has been a sad reality for me the last couple years. Then in this video I seen you doing something so simple, sitting on a rock in the west Texas mountains. I didn't even realize I craved it so badly until now. That is something I can make happen. I don't care for the word "Disabled" but since my abilities have become limited, I have fallen into the notion that I cannot do anything I once loved anymore. Seeing you sitting on that rock in the hills reminded me that there are so many simple things I can do and the actual purpose is just to get out of the box I put myself in. I was an oilfield worker and I have been through thousands of miles of back roads / lease roads in west Texas and NM (I live in Fort Worth). I already know where I can start. I now have a goal, thank you for the videos. See ya on the next one!
Welcome back! Now you are leaving us??
Mateo just posted basically the same thing today 😢
Ok...going to watch now!
Edit: Glad you are going to take the time to finish healing and adjusting to your new meds. Health is more important than content any day.
Check in occasionally, we aren't just here to see adventures, you are the most interesting part of the vids and you have a community of invested people that care about you.
So drop an vid occasionally until you are ready, if ever, for travel again.
Wishing you all the best hon,
Much ❤
Not clickbait but also not bad news! Just new life paths opening up 🦋
Maybe they hooked up and are gonna come back together?
@@AlyssaVanilla love that. Edited my post above (and removed the click bait joke) lol
I wish you all the best as you recover and get things figured out. Take your time and do what is best for you.
I get migraines too. Take care of yourself. Do what’s best for you. Hopefully one day we’ll meet on the road of life. You are very inspirational beautiful human being with many new adventures ahead of you. Nice cowgirl boots by the way!
Omg I missed your videos. But take as much time you need to get better. Your health comes first! ❤❤😊
Omg.!. Where you been.?. I’ve missed your videos.!. Welcome back 😁.
I totally get this! I actually live on the road full-time BECAUSE of my chronic health conditions! I'm on disability and completely on my own as my family are totally unsupportive so I cannot afford to rent a "real" house. So my "house" has wheels and my home is the road as there are no permanent places to park up anywhere here in Australia anymore. People comment on my videos all the time about how "lucky" I am and tell me I'm "living the dream" so much so that it's become my mantra now! That and "I wonder what the poor people are doing?" Which is a joke, of course because I AM the poor people! It's not all glamour and adventure (although it can be that at times) and sometimes it's really dang hard and exhausting and I get burnt out and discouraged often. But I'm Tonka tough and I have no choice but to soldier on. Watching other CZcamsrs like you living this lifestyle and keeping it real is an absolute lifeline to me and makes me feel less weird and alone in the world, so thank you for being real ❤
I love your perspective :)
Don't apologize or think that you're "oversharing"! You aren't! I just came across your channel and definitely going to binge your old videos! I commend you for taking the responsible approach to ensuring your physical and mental health! Once you're back on track, you'll be on the road again in no time! Sending love and positive vibes your way.
So glad to see you again always looking amazing
😮 Missed you!
I missed you!
Thanks for being open. Also great music choice.
Enjoying the music
Just started my car life with my husband going to LA!
As I told Mateo, you do you. Feel whatever you’re feeling& NO GUILT. Take care & God bless.
I feel your pain, dealing with debilitating health issues sucks. Teaches a certain kind of patience. Thank you for sharing, it was nice to get an update! I'm praying for your healing and sending love, my heart is with you and I hope you feel better soon ❤
Take the time you need! YT will be here If or when you decide to come back! Get well sis!!
Hi Alyssa Welcome back you are so missed girl you are our Favorite Texas And since I'm From Texas my self you might like Granbury Texas and Garner State park in Leakey Texas Brisket is my Favorite meat
You have to be careful about eating, the gunk is everywhere. ☠️(health)
I am happy for you, Alyssa. I could never do van life as I like to have a bigger space to live in and relax in but to each their own, I guess. Van life looks lonely but I get the freedom part of it. Not sure I would want to spend my young life driving around though. You seem like a really special person so I hope you get the peace you deserve.
I hope you’re ok, your fans have missed you. Take care of you first! 🙏🏻💕
Great video.
You and winterisblue is both quitting at the same time?
Exactly
Coincidence right lol if life with Anthony leaves too I’m done with CZcams 😂😂
Neither of them said they were quitting 👀
Hope to see you again and again your true fans/followers TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!! 👍🏾
😊
Alyssa look after your health which is paramount so u can enjoy travelling etc all the best!! 😍🍻🤗
Thanks!
My goodness thank you!
You have to many problems without having any responsibites
Love those old country music snippets
Choose yourself - every time
Marty Robbin’s….yeah buddy
Would u share the name of the song? 🌻
@@LolaS_94 I think it’s Old El Paso by Marty Robbin’s..All of his songs are ballads..im 70 and my daddy turned me on to Marty Robbin’s when I was a little girl…CZcams his greatest hits and be mesmerized.😁
She always has a eclectic taste in music that makes me laugh. I wonder if she’s heard of Bob Wills & the Texas playboys. 😂
Ahh then it is not the Song i am looking for. There is this one part at 6.18 or so which got under my skin but i can't find it with Shazam. But thanks for taking the time! 💕 from Paris, France!
Girl where you been♥️♥️♥️
doesn’t matter because now i’m here with you :)
Shes been with me hahaha 😆 lol
@@Mikemonoa-hz2rzlame ass
Alyssa,
Thanks for posting because I’ve been missing seeing you in videos.
Nonetheless, I definitely get it now. Please take care of your health and take as much time as YOU think you need. Most of us who support you… will still be here when you get back and will continue to support you.
I myself have been on the road full time since 2020 so I get it when you say you need a break. Health is extremely important so please take care of yours.
I wish you nothing less than the best and again… we will be here when you get back. No matter how long it takes. 🖤
Nothing is more important than your health Alyssa. If you’re not healthy both physically and emotionally you won’t enjoy life like you deserve. Please take care of yourself❣️
❤❤❤
Mateo and anyssa prob hookin up together strange both of them quitting van life
I was thinking the same thing💯
Pleeeease please please please dont leave without saying goodbye!! Please 😢😢 🙏🏾
Beautiful Alyssa. If you aren't okay, then your channel isn't okay either. While I definitely love watching your videos, 100% get your sense of humor, and enjoy following all the antics you get into, I would never want to watch all that at your expense. This You Tube gig seems like that; most creators come and go. Most take breaks. And some find a path that serves them better than doing YT. Keep us posted when you can, and take care of yourself!
You lost weight.
well don’t worry that basket of bread will fill me right back out
It was just an observation. I hope all is well. Shalom
Man, I love those boots. That color! This thumbnail is brilliant. Love it, girl!👍🏽👍🏽
You’ll be missed get better 🙏🏽
Hi Melisa..
Good to see you pressing on in your wonderful journey. Thank you for sharing this breaking in between…doing what is best for your overall health and sanity. You are an incredible nomad woman. Take care of you…first and foremost…always. Seeing you travel through these beautiful places…makes one realize the wonder of experience and exploration…near and far. Yours is a splendid journey. Get all the rest you need and we look forward to seeing you on the road…as the best is to come. Much love, light and blessings. Safe and Happy Travels! 💟🙏🏾✝️🛐🧑🏾🦋 *Vandie Van 🚐 Wings 🦋*
Im in my late 30’s and recently got labs and everything done as well and discovered things that were wrong I had no clue about. You made the right decision to put your health first and you deserve to be happy
Thank you for sharing your journey ,your health should definitely come first blessings to you and Mateo on your future endeavors 😢
Omg! @alyssavanilla You guys are killing me @winterisblu 😢 my friends. My heart fully understands 🙏🏻 Alyssa, I never wanna see you cry! I love you and please, especially right now at this time on earth, find peace and healing wherever you need to find it!! 🙏🏼 To each person reading this. Find peace, please. Love yourself and spread love and kindness. Humanity is depending on our healing. ❤
Hi Alyssa I have missed watching your videos so much, I was happy this morning waking up to a new video. I also have some physical problems that increase depression etc so I totally feel for you. You're a beautiful soul and we all just want to see you happy 🫠 you have an amazing mentality and personality,please take care and we hope to see you back being your bouncy & bubbly self someday in the near future. Happy Easter much love and light Ray 🐣🐇💕
I’m so glad you are taking a break, to get your health issues settled. You are young and have plenty of time for van life adventures! Your health should be a priority!
