Very nice hybrid format with the vlog, voice-over and while-editing commentary all mixed beautifully. Youâre an amazing entertainer
Thank you my gosh :)
Just a tip for coming through north Carolina, go through the mountain side of the state in fall, or just the Appalachian mountains in general. Its beautiful, you'll love it. â€
Finn is such a lucky boy, he gets to travel all over the US for free and with a personal driver.
Dude your editing and cinematography have been on another level lately!
this makes me smile. thank you thank you thank you
I agree I've been watching her from the beginning she is so much more comfortable in front of the camera also
Sounds like an awesome plan to visit all 50 states, would love to visit the USA and Canadađ
Will you take a ship to Hawaii??
Iâm so excited to hear youâre going for a 50-state visit! Iâve got something similar going on - run a half marathon in every state (minus the van). So far itâs been an experience I would never give up. Canât wait to see you go for it!
I love your plan of visiting the 50 states. I laughed out loud when you put the graphic up that said, âyour comfort zoneâ and âwhere the magic happens.â So True!
Something that helps me to feel like I actually get to know the place i go, is having a list of things i like and try to find those wherever I go, apart from the list of things i am supposed to see in that state/city. For example, for me some of those are: a great view, breakfast and art; so if i don't get to see the most touristic spots but i do get to find those, is a game changer and i really feel like i experience that new city/state.
Can't wait to see you living this 50 states journey đ
I have so grown to look forward to your vlogs every week. I live in New-England. If you're a fan of densely forested mountains and beautiful lakes, you'll love visiting here. If you are a fan of colors, then fall with the changing leaves will be the time for you. Thanks for bringing us along with you.
"Never leave dishes in the sink overnight" is something I once read and have always lived by! Great video!
I really really feel you're going to absolutely LOVE the great lakes region
Wow, Greenlights is such an amazing book!! Mathew's adventures and outlook on life is very special. Loved it!
It was such a good read.....
Man.. That drive to Hawaii is gonna be something else. đ
YOU GO GIRL!!! I love how honest you are in your videos. đ I like how you share your thoughts and I think you would be an excellent writer/author. â€
loving the longer vid! đđ»
I'm glad I was worried lolol
Sooo these sunsets remind me of My hometown just outside Adelaide in South Australia.... MAGIC!
Thanks for these snippets of life!
Just bought a van..
đ€
"...and just like that, it all starts to make sense." What a wonderful way to shoew gratitude, even in trying times! You are truly an inspiration. Absolutely loved the video! I haven't returned to the west since my 1st adventure in the summer of 1982! Thankfully, the trip was highly rewarding. Van life seems so challenging. My hats off to you. Stay safe always... đâ„ïž
-- An admirer from the northeast.
Your content and editing ability mixed with the cadence of your voice and story telling skills makes this one of my favorite channels. Keep it up you are doing great :)
You'll love New England. Visit when it's not winter time. It's gorgeous in Spring/Summer and in the fall when the leaves change color and the festivals come to town.
This series of videos of visiting all 50 states is going to be a nice travel guide :)
I did a small taste of van living with my senior cat last summer and found a cooling mat that always stays cool and a small air cooler that plugged into my cigarette lighter, just fill it up with water, park in the shade and have window shades to keep the sun from beating in and my cat had a nice chilly van to chill out in on hot Wisconsin summer days for a 2-3 hours. A small personal fan and she was set. I even had it set up with barriers on my pop out windows so she couldn't get out and the breeze could get in. When I parked at a friend's place I had mosquito netting so that the side door could be opened and she could come and go at will. Sure beats the days spent driving around with the AC on just to keep her cool. Vanlife, all about adapting and of course making our furr babies comfortable.
Wow. Those amazing shots are so breath takingly beautiful. God is awesome. I'm 68 divorced with a little dog and you inspire me. I hope to be out there in my converted SUV. I can't wait. Found you about a week ago, liked and subscribed and have been marathoning all your videos. Travelling mercies đ
I've been struggling with that question the past year too. "What's next?" I still haven't figured it out. Seeing all 50 states is a great goal for you. You'll be alright. You'll figure it out. Go slow and be in the moment. It'll be a good adventure.
13:43 - This video part made me chuckle⊠[A reason for all of this traveling around]: The drive to experience new places, see the; ânot-seen-beforeâ things. {This is what this moment in life is about. (In my opinion again)}.
Your videos are very inspiring for the rest of us who want to hit the road keep up the good work and be safe
Finn's like "Wait a second! Your food looks better than my food!" Such a cutie
A van girl close to my heart -
Iâve been jetboiling exclusively for the last 3 yearsâŠ.on a rig I bought in 2008!
The hardware lasts forever and the 450g tanks hang in there for weeks. Gotta dig good gear.
The highlight of my evening. The notification on my phone of a new video, made my day. Perfect! I'm a total fanboy! đ
Zion has many great memories for me. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and travels and I'm glad you've made some intentions! We used to go to Zion & Bryce over winter break. Nothing like watching the sunrise on New Year's Day and hiking down below. Truly magical.
Utah is a beautiful state, I was stationed there twice and loved it!
I've been to 48 states missing North Dakota and Montana and all I can say is GO FOR IT!!! Ths US has sooo much to see and in your van you would get so much more out of every visit then I did.
Chapter: Zion, choosing to face my fear of 50 States.
Love your story Mariah đ€đŒđđđŒ
What a pleasant surprise on a Tuesday. Iâm in my studio recording a new video and taking a break and looking at my iPad and seeing a notification that you have a new video. And might I add, a very good one. What an exciting goal and itâs one that a lot of people only dream of. I canât wait to enjoy a dream of mine through your videos. Keep up the great work and be safe.
Good luck on that video!! :)
New England in the Fall is stunning! We have a lot of forested land up here and the colors in the Fall are breathtaking. Summers can be very humid. The shoreline is very different from the western shoreline but has its very own beauty. I live in a historical town known for its whaling back in the day and I m very close to one river and fairly close to 3 or 4 others river. By fairly close I m talking 10 minutes to 45 minutes to get to them depending. The other is just a couple minutes away.
All these rivers have various waterways, marshes, coves, etc and all lead to the Long Island Sound. I think you will love exploring New England! A cheap kayak, a good life jacket for you and Finn will add to your enjoyment.
I always love watching your videos! I've been having a stressful day and watching this on my lunch break was very inspiring! Looking forward to see your new journey as it progresses đ
Living rent free and being able to enjoy those views and just being free...yeah IÂŽd say your blessed. I moved out of California back in 2008 and never looked back, since then IÂŽve been living free of rent and mortgage. Enjoy life and be careful out there! hello and greetings from this small rural town somewhere in Mexico. Adam
Hi I just watched this video and subscribed! A couple of weeks ago I drove through Zion and I agree that bridge is magical, it made me feel the same wayâŠI want to travel more. I want to do van life too, so Iâm excited to have found you! Love your honesty and humor. Finn is everything đđ
Cape Cod is the best part of Massachusetts and you can park overnight at the beaches in Wellfleet. Your DP skills (cinematography) are fantastic. Love the clips of you holding a Mic or signing on the road. Nice! Great content you provide here.
So happy you made your decision to visit all 50 states. This one one of the many things that I realized drew me to Vanlife because my grand parents did that, and a few other countries as well.
P. S.
I would advise making the trips to different states seasonal. Northern States in spring/summer, Southern Fall/winter. It's 84° in San Antonio Texas here. Unless you want to do something like my aunt in Vermont. She goes Snowshoeing and lables trees with ribbon for historical tree stuff.
The trip from Arkansas to Illinois in fall is beautiful! Lots of foliage color changes!
I look forward to your explorations of Florida & other southern coastal areas! Thatâs where I would want to go.
I love your videos!!! The bloopers made me laugh so hard, I was not prepared đ
I started going in my van to all the national parks and states in 2016 , Ive been to 49 states and 60 national parks. U can do it , keep going.
Zion is a beautiful place⊠was there once⊠will never forget that place!
You got an awesome goal! It doesn't matter really if you succeed or not cause you're gonna have the best time of your life trying. I'm so envious but so happy for you.
I lived in Alaska, and Hawaii.. and have been to all 50 states... It's amazing.. Go you, and Finn..
Youâve a unique, beautiful sadness that seems to be just below the surface. Nonetheless, the algorithm suggested one of your vids about a week ago, and Iâve watched several of your lifeâs journey. Well wishes, and, Texas will welcome your visit.
Finally a 20 minute video!!!!! I love it your video skills are getting AMAZING i love your videos so much! Thanks for making my day!
Great job getting out of your comfort zone! I would love to see that!
Let us know when you come in souther California, weâll come greet you at least. Donât feel lonely. A lot of people are cheering for you. Great content!
Zion. One of our favorite national parks we havenât been in a 5 years but are spending thanksgiving week there. Glad you decided to start visiting the national parks.
This may be one of my favorite videos of yours yet. I liked it so much I watched it twice haha. The quality of your videos continues to improve. Keep it up!
Your dad is an adventurer. You are too. Youre curious and youre a teacher.
I LOVE your plan!!! I'm excited for your videos. Love, love your content, look forward to it every week. The way you think and speak.... it's like you're speaking for my brain. I so, so appreciate you.
I'm watching your video now and bawling because I feel the same way as I am about to start my journey with my dog in my new vintage trailer. I have always planned on traveling after my parents died but I didn't plan on how hard it is to let go and say goodbye. I am going to see all 50 states and I keep visualizing myself everytime I'm on a freeway. I am leaving behind my childhood home and my parents things. It's hard and scary and I keep saying as soon as I have everything ready but that might never happen. I hope you read this and connect with me because you totally nailed how I have been feeling these past few days.
Your vlog style is unique, in a great way! Zion National Park looked amazing. Us 9-5ers everywhere envy you!
Dudette...I'm only 60 sec in, and your production values have jumped in QUALITY, expertise in editing, Vos, soundtracks, ETC. WELL done Mariah!; You HAVE #talent.
One of your best videos yet! All 50 states is a major aspiration. I'll start with the western states in the summer of 2022. Once I'm satisfied with my travels in the west, I'll think about heading east (scarier).
I love that you are just doing the thing I would love to be doingâŠ
Right on, Write on, Right on, Keep on keeping on. Going to every state is a wonderful place to start. Alaska is the only one left on my list.
Zion is incredible! It was probably my favorite National Park (visited about 10 this summer.) I've been traveling for about 6 months myself and just went to a few of the exact spots you were at in this video just a couple weeks ago. The views were amazing and tons of open dispersed camping. If you're still there, a short hike where Finn could safely be in the van, is the parking lot immediately after the Mt Carmel Tunnel. It's called Canyon Overlook Trail and is only about a mile, but the views are worth it and it's a fun little hike. There's obviously Angels Landing, but that takes hours and is a bit intense đł
Just found your channel about a week ago and am enjoying watching your journey. Keep up the great work!
i love your videos ! I have an RV that I go out in campsites and you inspire me so much! keep on going! â€ïžâ€ïž
"I'm happy"... She exclaims đ... glad you're figuring it out đ đ đ â€ïž ... I like Parks & Monuments, excited to come along for the ride đïž đ đ
Can we take a second to discuss your backing up skills?!?
Looked like several hundred yards and a decent pace with confidence, while talking.
Impressive!!!
Atlanta native here. Go check out Amicalola Falls when you get here. And for Arkansas, Whitaker Point/Hawksbill Crag is the most magical place I have been east of the Rockies. And the whole northwest Arkansas area is nice as well. I've driven from Fort Smith to Bentonville during sunset several times, and the rolling hills there were absolutely gorgeous. You should check out that area
Your editing skills are leveling up.
Your videos are always so relaxing and the scenery and your style of filming is so beautiful. If you ever need a place to park in the Boston area, let me know â€ïž
WOW!!! I have just binge watched all of your videos over the past few days! Ill health allows me to do my world travels virtually via a few CZcamsrs! Yours are on another level. I love how you have grown so much in a relatively short period of time, and you video format is spot on. The way they seem really disjointed but come together perfectly, the voice over and cinematography is awesome, and the little clips at the end are a great finishing touch. You seem like an awesome person, looking forward to the next chapter. SUBSCRIBED! All the very best to you Mariah, and Finn of course. Stay safe. Andi, UK
When you get to SC on your 50 state tour, be sure to check out Hunting Island Sate Park. I camped there a couple of weeks ago, and its beaches are awesome. Alternately, you might try Edisto Island State Park. It's nice too but not as glorious as Hunting Island.
p.s. depending on the time of year, you may need to make a reservation for Hunting Island--it's a popular spot.
This is way too cool. Do you and create some awesome memories! You got this! You are making your dream a reality!
To get a good sample of Jawja camping, Vogel State park, Stone Mtn near Atlanta (be sure to spend a day in Atlanta while camping Stone mtn), Tybee island near Savannah, lastly, Stephen Foster state park in the okefenokee swamp. (Skeeters are bad in the swamp after Easter)
In my opinion, when living in a van/mobile home its a given to go at least once around the country. Good luck with it!!
Cool. Looking forward to it. Good luck.
Try going to a few music festivals next summer. You can usually get a job working at the festival. Works a few hours a day then rest of the day off.
....thanks for being you....and re minding me to get a VPN (only on the "to do" list for 3yrs), ...AND.....for so masterfully appearing to drive backwards just after the 2min mark.....had to watch that several times, and still can't finger it out....
Hit those National Parks. Yes, they're full of people, and people can definitely suck, but there's a reason they're there - the places are worth seeing. If you can manage to avoid the crowds, which is a big advantage of being in the van, you're gonna love it. And definitely go east. The east is like another planet, it's so different.
Can't wait to see what you find. Safe travels.
I have only seen those stuffs in pictures..... Must be amazing in real.
Yes! Come to the East Coast, it's beautiful, so many trees. So many beautiful places all along it from New England to the South! It's a beauty too! I felt really pulled to comment because this video felt like you were talking straight to me, well done.
Liking the wander years voice over.
Your videos tell such a great story. The east coast is great specifically new england. Im sure you will love it here. Explore the non touristy places.
Go for it. Alaska, Washington, and Oregon are the three states I haven't visited YET.
just subscribed. iâve watched a few of your videos and love your journey. my wife and i just bought a van and will be starting our life on the road beginning in 2022. super excited!
I love your videos...it hard work to make, edit , filming,the all that goes with it ... The one thing I love most is at the end your bloopers I will call them đ
Don't come to the deep south in the summer. You may not enjoy it very much. But anyway, I'll wave when I see you on the road. Good luck!
Its so exciting to see you excited about something and so happy. When you get to Pennsylvania, lmk and I'll tell you places to camp and see. All the state forests have dispersed camping htat you can actually reserve for free.
Hi Mariah new subscriber here.
Just wanted to say am going through a rough time lately and am finding your vids very therapeutic so just saying thanku 2 U & Finn âïžâïžđ
Ahh great shot of the moon & venus. Youâre so comfortable talking to the camera! (& I love how you braided that piece of fabric into your hair.) Be safe đ
I cant wait to travel like what your doing, I'm still on my build and hopefully to finish soon, hope I'll run into you somehow on the way, have a safetrip and keep safe always
You will Love Greenlights!
Thank you for sharing your video I really love watching it. I love seeing you and Finn he is a handsome fur baby and your a beautiful young lady..as always take care of yourself be careful and God bless from your friend Robert
Another great video. I love watching your journey. Stay safe lovely x
Visit Duluth Minnesota in the summer or fall itâs beautiful, the light houses and Lake Superior are a must see.
There is so much history on the East Coast, so different from West Coast history. It could be a huge interesting and informative trip. I don't think there is as much BLM camping though. Plus the South is an entire different experience. Go for it Woman!
Yay, good goal! I have to say definitely do New England in Warmer months. I'm sitting here trying to think of what to tell you would be fun in Vt, since that's where I live, but I'm completely drawing a blank! Most of our activities/attractions are based outdoors, like hiking, skiing, etc. I've been taking to purposely keeping my mornings as low pressure as possible too. I also have too add that "The End of the World As We Know It" has been one of my favorites again lately!
This is SO exciting. This introverted new england gal happily volunteers to send you info about spots to avoid the people over here. Pro tip...fall IS epic in new england, however I promise you are going to wind up on dirt roads so you may consider VT and NH in the summer.
Having grown up out west and your video's confirm it, I can see why you haven't headed east. I've been "stranded" on the east coast for more years than I'd care to admit. I finally got back out to Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico last August. It was so nice. Yes, the midwest has areas that have their own beauty, including the Blue Ridge mountains etc. But my University geology field camp slogan still sums it up about the west: "It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here". Cheers.
There are tons of caves just southwest of St Louis!! Along I-44 near Sullivan, MO along the interstate... Jesse James Cave too
You have so much time to see all of everything that you want to see. Just take your time as you do it. Focus on the now instead of trying to do everything so fast. You have many years to do it all.
Love watching your videos and I can't wait to be living like this too!
I would be paying attention to the national weather events, caused by global warming... flooding, wash-outs, and even landslides in the northwest coast, and bc, canada area.... be aware,, be safe,, and be prepared,,, sounds like a motto,, lol...
I love how real you are. Just you being you đ
