    What's disappointing about this video is the lack of gratitude towards Ashley and accountability on the hurt you have put her through.

      She addressed that. Growing up religious she got used to repressing it and being the person other people thought she should be. She still loved Ashley.

    Thanks for wrapping it up. I always enjoyed your trips and did the things you two did when you were there. It was super meaningful to have someone who had already done the "things" to do in each place. A big Thank You to you and Ash

    I found this channel THIS MORNING after Googling "what is a Kibbutz?". What a journey I've had in the past few hours. You both seem like incredible people, and im glad to see you are both living the life that you need to live to be happy. Literal tears, and I never cry.

    For Turkish followers; a simple translation. (aman aman bi çeviri olmadı her dediğini de çevirmedim ama üç aşağı beş yukarı bu.) Btw so happy to see you happy being yourself Alexis. Much love.
    "Merhaba, sizleri uzun süredir görmedim, baya oldu. Bu kanal için çektiğimiz son video Ekim'deydi. Seattle'a vardığımız gün. Yaklaşık bir ay önce Ashley bir veda videosu yayınladı. (Yorumlardaki) Bir çok insan çok cesaretlendiriciydi ve bu çok hoştu. Bazıları beni görmek istediklerini belirttiler. Bunun çok güzel(bir davranış) olduğunu düşündüm çünkü aslında planım ortadan kaybolmaktı ama... bilmiyorum... bu fırsatı son kez 'Merhaba' ve 'Elveda' demek için kullanmayı düşündüm. Çünkü bu durumdan çok bahsetmedik. Evet burada yeniyseniz, ya da bu videoyu ilk kez izliyorsanız burada biraz dramatik olaylar oldu. Eğer Ashley nin videosunu izlemediyseniz, ki bence gayet iyi bir video, çok iyi bir iş çıkardı. Ancak ben de bu şansı vedalaşmak için kullanmak istedim.
    Peki, ne oldu? WayAway'e ne oldu? Ne olduğuna hakkındaki gerçek ne?
    Yani, aslında gayet açık ve net, eğer bakarsanız bazı şeylerin benim için farklı olduğunu görebilirsiniz. Bu arada Merhaba, daha önce tanışmadıysak, benim adım Alexis. Evet, Ben artık yasal olarak LA de yaşayan 34 yaşında bir kadınım. Yasal olarak kendin olabilmek çok keyifli. Tamam, peki nasıl oldu?
    2017 de eşime ve sonrasında zamanla aile üyelerime aslında kadın olduğumu ve transgender bi tecrübe yaşadığımı anlattım. Tabi bu ben hariç hayatımdaki herkes için yeni bilgiydi. Neden bu kadar bekledim? Neden herkesi kandırdım (!)? Tabii ki bunlar çok karmaşık ve özelime ait sorular. Bu videoda tamamıyla açıklayabilir miyim bilmiyorum. Ama özet olarak çocukluğumda bunu açıklamış olsam terapiye ve bir sürü kötü davranışa maruz kalabilirdim. Gençlik yaşlarımdan beri hissettiğim, olduğum insanın imkansız ya da yanlış olduğu bana öğretildi. Bu yüzden olmadığım biri gibi davranmaya devam etmek daha kolaydı. Zamanla olmadığın biri gibi davranmak normalleşiyor çünkü çok uzun süredir bunu yapıyorsun. Ashley ile tanıştığımda 'olmam gereken', 'olmam gerektiği söylenen' kişi olma konusunda çok başarılı bir iş çıkarıyordum. Hayatımın büyük bölümünde asıl olduğum kişinin çok bi önemi yoktu çünkü bana verilen rolü oynuyordum ve bu işte iyiydim. Gündelik hayatıma etki etmediği için üzerine düşünmüyordum. Ama zamanla bu hislerim zihnime yeniden yerleşti ve sürekli aklımı kurcalıyordu. Sonunda ilk kez bunları kendimden başka birine(Ashley'ye) açıkça söyledim ve tabii ki bu ilişkimizi sarstı. Yani nasıl birini istediğin ve ihtiyacın olan bir şekilde görmekten aslında başka biri olduklarını söylediği halde görmeyi kabul edebilirsin. Bu bir ilişki için çok büyük bir mesele. 2 yıl daha videoları yapmamızın sebebi bunun ilişkimiz açısından ve WayAway(işimiz) için ne anlama geldiğini çözmeye çalışmamızdı. Dönüşümümü tamamlamalı mıyım? Bunu yapabilir miyim? Artık lezbiyen bir çift miyiz? gibi soruların cevaplarını arıyorduk. Sonuçta ikimiz için de en iyi olanın ayrılmak ve kendi yollarımızda devam ederek kendimiz için tatmin edici bir hayatın peşinden gitmek olduğuna karar verdik.
    Bunun için LA e taşındım. İlk konuştuğum yerde işe girdim. Hatta başvuru bile yapmadım. Referans olmasın için bir yerden yardım istedim 'tabii ki sana referans oluruz' dediler ben de 'Bu arada insanlar beni tanıdığınız ismin dışında bir isimle hakkımda sorular sorabilirler.' dedim. 'Aaa, gerçekten mi, iyi, bizimle çalışmak ister misin?' dediler ve ilk referans istediğim yerde işe alındım. LA e taşındım. Bir ev arkadaşımla beraber kaldığım kendime ait bir apartmanım var. Bu süreçte aşık oldum, ayrıldım. LA de yaşayan 30'larının ortasında bir kadın olarak hayatı tecrübe ettim. Hala kendimle ve geleceğimle ilgili öğreneceğim çok şey var. Bu heyecan verici. Evet, biraz melankolik çünkü kaderim için çoktan karar verildi zannediyordum. Öğrendim ki verilmedi. Bir açıdan 'yeni bir hayat'a sahip olma şansım var. Aradığım bu olduğundan değil ama kendim olma, özgün olma fırsatım var. Buraya kadar ki süreçlerin bazıları - eminim - anlayabileceğiniz gibi bir çok nedenden ötürü üzücü olsa da kendimle barışık olmak çok iyi hissettiriyor. Hayatımda ilk kez mutlu olmak için rol yapmak zorunda değilim. Tabii ki her zaman rol yapmıyordum ama şuan sabah uyanıyorum ve huzurluyum ve bu yeni bir şey. Yani var olmak, kendimle barışık olmak güzel bir his.
    Birçok insan 'seni nasıl destekleyebiliriz?' diye sorup nasıl destek olabileceklerini öğrenmek istediler son videoda. Ben pek özel bir şey yapmıyorum. Bir youtube kanalım yok. Sadece instagramda paylaşım yapıyorum o da sıkıcı, 30'larında kadın paylaşımları. Bazen politik olabiliyor, yani dikkatli olun. İsterseniz instagramımı takip edebilirsiniz, link açıklamada ama gerçekten sıkıcı, günlük hayatımı - çok nadiren sanat eserlerini - paylaşıyorum. Kendi cilt bakımı ürünlerimi çıkarmaya çalışıyorum. Yani eğer gerçekten destek olmak istiyorsanız... Sanırım önümüzdeki yıl bu sıralar ufak bir lansmanla başlarım sanırım. Sitenin linki açıklamalarda var.
    Evet, eğer hala yapmadıysanız Ashley'nin yeni youtube kanalını da takip etmeyi unutmayın.(Winging It With Ash açıklamada link var) Çok iyi iş çıkarıyor, birçok güzel içeriği var. Kendi hayatından vs şeylerden bahsettiği. Eğlenceli bir kanal.
    Kendim hakkında fazla paylaşmadım için üzgünüm. Ancak şimdilik var olmaktan ve yaşamaktan keyif alıyorum. Sanırım kendim olmak için vakit ayırıyorum ve daha fazla rol yapmıyorum. Ve bu güzel.
    Eğer (çok rahatsız edici ve özel olmadığı ve saygı çerçevesinde olduğu sürece) cevaplamamı istediğiniz bir soru olursa yorumlara yazdığınızdan emin olum. Elimden geldiğince cevaplamaya çalışacağım. Ya da sadece 'Merhaba' deyin cevap vermeye çalışacağım.
    Bu kesinlikle kanala koyduğumuz son video olacak. Muhtemelen... Yani neden başka bir video olsun bilmiyorum. Bu sadece güzel bir 'elveda'. Kanaldaki bütün videolar kalacak çünkü insanlar tecrübelerimizi görsün istiyoruz. En başta da kanalı açma sebebimiz buydu, paylaşmak. İsteyenlerin hala bu videolara erişebilmesini istiyoruz. Eğer yapabilirseniz bu yaşananları düşünmeden videoları izleyip keyif almaya çalışın. Gerçekten güzel zamanlardı, ben çok keyif aldım. Bütün o zamanı Ashley ve sizlerle geçirmekten, paylaşmaktan, öğrenmekten memnunum. Şimdilik sadece var olmanın zevkini çıkarıyorum bu çok güzel.
    Klasik kapanışı yapmayacağım fazla heyecanlanmayın. Sadece 'Elveda' diyeceğim. Sizleri özleyeceğim. İnstagramımı takip edip arada 'Merhaba' diyebilirsiniz. Tekrardan, sadece normal hayatını yaşayan bir kadın instagramı. Bay bay"

      Is there a single 'quaint couple' who travel the world making these "look at us....we want to be the center of attention" videos where they stay together as a couple. Said differently, I just watched my first video today and I just KNEW there would the vaunted "The truth about us" or "What happened to...?" videos. Regardless, live and live I've always believed. I wish no harm and nothing but true happiness to everyone so be you ....you got one and only ONE life.. I shutter to think about the torture you have gone through mentally to get here

    I might come to regret posting this - I am posting under my old "dead name" account and am open to google search and doxing.
    Im 48 years old now. I started transition in Feb 2017. Been doing it a while...
    I ALWAYS knew it might come to this. I also hated the idea. The family problems it would (and has....) caused. My work life. What would my daughter think? I have a granite personality - I can always put my own needs in the background... so I thought.
    But after 30 years of "knowing" and only having occasional good days... mostly bad ones. I made my decision.
    Alexis you are 15 years younger than me. You made the best decision 15 years before I did. I regret not making mine 15 years earlier - or even before that.
    Wish your transition and goals total sucess. Good luck sis ;)
    Kimberly.

    Covid crisis has messed up all the travel vloggers plans, so it's good to see her home state adventures. After all, Wayaway team had some awesome times around the globe. You will always have those good memories. As long as the channel is available others can be inspired to see the world through your videos.

    Hey Alexis, I am also a long time follower and really enjoyed your trips, also I was quite surprised about hearing what happened. But I can understand it all much better now and really appreciate being able to see both of you dealing with the situation. I can see, that it was really hard, or probably better freeing (if that's the fitting english word) , for you to make this video. And I hope you can live the life you always wanted to, wish you all the best!

    @ElizabethTravelsNow Před 3 lety +11

    I can soooo relate to the "being" vs "performing" you're talking about - as soon as the camera is on, there is always a level of performance no matter how authentic you are trying to be. Even if it's because you are just framing the shot or thinking ahead to the edit. It's like an extra layer in the identity experience, and I've often found myself distancing myself from my online output and coming back to basics and my core self during times where things in my life were more uncertain. Sometimes the self-imposed pressure to "create content for fans" just felt unhealthy. Sometimes you want to enjoy things in their immediate and present amazingness, not through the filter of "documenting" how cool it is.
    I loved watching your Way Away videos, I was just wearing that cozy Way Away jumper you sent at a country house retreat with friends this weekend. Wish you the best Alexis ❤️And if you ever come through Montreal, i'll be delighted to play tour guide for you.

Your attention to detail, history, cultural insight, etc is not only entertaining, but pleasantly instructual and your editing skills gave it all cinematic life. No one does it quite like you, so it will certainly be missed! I've sincerely enjoyed the adventures along with you, and wish you both the best on your new ones. Goodbye ❤️

    I only discovered your Way Away channel yesterday and was working my way through your UK videos when I suddenly noticed the last two goodbye videos which left me briefly lost for words. Though I discovered your channel so belatedly I do want to say thank you and wish you both best wishes for the future.

I wish you the same peace and happiness that he has found. xx

    It must be really hard being honest with yourself Alexis, you've gone through a long process and then you've realized that you're a brave person; so you came out to Ashley and your family. We just watched your videos and didn't have any idea what it really meant for both of you. It seems there has been so much heartbreak in your relationship, but the great future is waiting for you, i really believe that! I hope you and Ashley will have great lives. I'll always support both of you, love from Turkey ❤️

    I'll admit that the first time I saw you in a Haribo tour, I actually thought you were a female. Maybe it was your energy/your vibe? IDK? Then, in a following video, your hair was shorter, so I thought you might be an effeminate gay man, but then you & your ex said you were married so I didn't concern myself with that issue and focused on your video content.
    Knowing that you're now living your truth, I'm very happy for you in your new journey. Stay vibrant and beautiful as you've always been. (You look amazing btw) I'm so glad that you're happy! Thanks for the update! 👍

I’ve watched The Way Away for years and could see the Alexis trying to emerge. I’ve read your short essay too and was really touched by it. You have a gift for revealing emotion and pain that was so thought provoking. I wish both you and Ashley the very best as you venture out in your new life. Treasure what you had together and celebrate what you’ll be apart. Blue skies!
