    One area you could work in since you are conversant with foreign languages is freelance copywriting for advertising agencies. I’m a librarian, but could easily switch to become full time because my earnings are absolutely terrific! I’ve been copywriting for a long time now, but don’t see why you can’t do it. Copywriting works very well on rainy days when you can’t go outside to film video content. Christian, thank you so much for your inspiration!

    Do you have benefits, 401K, etc? Not trying to be nosey just curious if this is something that can sustain for long term planning.

  10. Rick F on December 17, 2021 at 1:17 pm

    Itโ€™s great to see someone early in their life, already have so many experiences. It probably canโ€™t be over-stressed that you are hard working and Iโ€™m sure push through challenges. Itโ€™s certain that your life forward will continue to be filled with good because none of this is a fluke. Congrats on your success.

    So nice to see someone not wait for a "bucket list"; but, rather, lead a life well-lived. Time flies and those "shoulda, couldas" can really start to add up. It’s difficult to chase dreams if you have to use a walker, so chase them now. A very talented and articulate, special young lady. Loved the drone footage and such a nice video.

  14. Gerry Ortiz on December 17, 2021 at 1:21 pm

    Awesome thanks for sharing! I am in the process of also leaving corporate world! ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ

    Your brains and beauty.

  21. Tantric182 on December 17, 2021 at 1:26 pm

    Congrats Christian, for this whole presentation of your professional profile… lots of interesting experiences… Would like to suggest you a move towards ethical platforms, away from BigTech. I am also into pro photography, recently planning a move to van life. But in Europe actually seems to be more challenging to travel. I love the interiors of your van are EXACTLY matching design of my photo studio loft. P.S.: Pleased you worked in Italy too! Should I speak italian in next comment?

  22. Red McC on December 17, 2021 at 1:26 pm

    Well crap….Number 3 is a no go for me.

  23. T M on December 17, 2021 at 1:27 pm

    interesting video and Van – sounds like an awesome time other then maybe being a little lonely at times. I would so love it!

  24. M.J. Lumacs on December 17, 2021 at 1:27 pm

    I’ve been working in a corporate job for 3 years and 8 months now and I’m 25. I’m planning on leaving my 9 to 5 job 3 years from now to live a more fulfilling life. I’m also an introvert. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey. <3

  25. NightFall on December 17, 2021 at 1:27 pm

    You really are the ultimate class act who gives so much of herself. Your videos always have so much quality info and imagery. I especially like how you area willing to break down in detail how you make a living to help others. Lastly, I thought I had done a lot with my life travelingโ€ฆ but when I heard all your details, Wow.

  26. Jamie Taylor on December 17, 2021 at 1:29 pm

    Hi Christian
    Ive just found your channel wow you are an inspiration nothing has been handed to you you’ve worked exceptionally

  27. Jenny Forrest on December 17, 2021 at 1:31 pm

    when you said you were from Jonesboro, AR my jaw literally dropped! I just moved from Sherwood, AR to Eugene, OR and am planning on doing van life in a couple years! I feel like a lot of people get stuck in Arkansas and I was not about to let that happen. So cool to find someone else who got out!!

  28. melancholymartialarts on December 17, 2021 at 1:32 pm

    Her beauty has no doubt contributed, but we all work with what we have. Respect regardless

  32. FRANKO M on December 17, 2021 at 1:39 pm

    so your natural hair color is black – brown ?!

  33. Cookie bapu on December 17, 2021 at 1:41 pm

    the idea for the next video episode just as a chalenge try to pick some famouse guy but with good behaviours one in hollywood from college or gym or what ever and convence him to pass a day 24 hour with you in camping seen the nature near chrismass or new year. its like a psicological chalange to try pick up some one that mani people whould say its impossible for comon people pick up super star guys xD..!! -> i do recomend Keanu Reeves ;u..!! such youtube episode chalenge gona be so epic to see what will happend no matter if fail teach us been brave ;u…!! and if success the video may pass ass a very special peace of art for the future next generation. made a big change generational because this may change the cultural mentality for next generation that art is more like life shared special moments recorded in videos memories and not only as a picture in the big museums or maybe in the metaverse.

    Wow I’m floored by your story. Good for you and your achievements. Truly an amazing person. Looking into travel life myself. Maybe I’ll pull the trigger one day. Seeing your success, tells me it could be something I could make work. Ciao

  38. Michi&Madi Forever on December 17, 2021 at 1:44 pm

    I love you. Your so perfect. If I was younger and single I wouldโ€™ve hooked onto you and stayed with you for the rest of your life. Iโ€™m so inspired by the way you live, itโ€™s so organized and minimalist & is so refreshing and your van is beautiful, the idea about being able to go anywhere and have the views you have out your window of your van is just so inspiring.

  39. Mike Milner on December 17, 2021 at 1:45 pm

    STAY A WAY FROM WAKADOS AND BAGUMBAS!!! LOL…. I HELPED ALL FOUR OF MY DAUGHTERS THROUGH COLLEGE, ONE IS IN HEAVEN AND THE OTHER THREE ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL, IT WAS WELL WORTH IT. HAPPY JOURNEYS!

  40. Cheryl Vardy on December 17, 2021 at 1:45 pm

    Brilliant clever savvy girl. Love your photography.

  41. Edy Moss on December 17, 2021 at 1:46 pm

    Very interesting video, you have lived quite an interesting life style to say the least
    You have a very outgoing personality which I see has benefited you quite well and has allowed you to persue your passions
    No doubt you are very hard working, I guess your upbringing has helped you alot to arrive at the situation you are in today
    And I’m sure that there will be many more opportunities as you progress in your dreams
    I wish you all the best fortunes in your travels and adventures yet to come and discover.
    You are a very intelligent and beautiful woman and it’s so nice to see and watch your progress.
    Best of luck and keep it up girl happy life and happy times keep up that smile so that many more doors will open up for you
