I too have turned into the grinch. I love solo disperse camping for the fact that all I can hear is the birds and the bugs and ZERO people lol. If you ever come to Vegas and are down to go disperse camping at Mt Charleston with a total stranger (me lol) let me know!
The more I watch u n listen to u the more I love your personality, your hair and mind.😻what you said about homeless ppl giving the most it hit home cuz days me tfs😻💖💖💖💖💯💯💯💯
Our little Sweetie Pie was slightly irritated and pleasantly surprised all in one short video. Well, on to her next adventure 🚗
Alyssa, Please get up the courage to move in your van to another Public Land site your not limited drive….You can do it….Don’t let other’s steal your joy.
Stay blessed 🙌
Your videos are so authentic and great 👍 to watch.
Side note : Florida is fucking hot rn
I have to roll my windows down at night to sleep
Maybe I missed it, but whatever happened to her apartment??
I stayed there and was surrounded by horse trailers. I did not hear any rude comments but my experience tracks for sure. Don’t let them sour you like who ever soured them, take your space and stand tall.
Come to florida then😁😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I live in California. And I have heard that a lot of people are leaving California to go to Arizona or Oregon Utah or other places that are not as expensive so with a lot of people moving into Arizona probably going to get higher and it’s going to be kind of sad because a lot of the desert areas going to disappear because people are going to start building so things are going to change. Enjoy the outdoors like you do my little girl you are just such an astonishing young woman and your parents must be delighted to have you as a daughter
Hey girrrrl. I’m about to be staying in my SUV in Astoria, OR! I’d love to meet you the next time you make your way up here to the great PNW. Hoping I don’t freeze! Those uppity people are one of the main reasons I moved away from AZ.
I love those waters. Try the one with like it’s like a sprite without the sugar and super refreshing
Hey can you links the guy in Texas that helped build your car xoxo 💖✨
She isn’t afraid to be her own person and her comedic timing has always been good but seems even better. I wish she was on TV hosting a talk show. She has real talent.
Love you so much ❤️
In a fan van life is hard but keep going
So fine
Thank you for your video💕I’m researching different angles for myself.
What happened to the apartment you got around the time you got your van?
for some getting drunk and stupid is part of Vanlife
Heyy
People want your company for sure, I want your company too lol
Ive met the nicest people on BLM land who are just making due with what they have. The snobby people tend to stick with other snobs so the can sit on their "high horse" and look down on others. I like AZ for so many reasons but i love ttaveling more. Thankfully the Camprolla gets great gas milage. Hope you can find some peace and solitude. Gila River Shore sites was pretty empty and they have clean vault toilets. Happy travels.
Funny opening to the vid!
You always Crack me up with how honest you are. Keep it up 😅
What happened to your apartment? Is the lease over already?
🙏🙏🙏
Too many rats in 1 cage no different that "humans" anywhere. Period.
Come to California
That’s rude that they did that. You are so better than me. I wouldn’t have been able to keep my mouth shut. I would have said something, I would have asked them if they had something to say. And told h to go get some peace and get a life and find some happiness. Instead of talking about people to make themselves feel better. Because they have such a crappy life on those horses obviously. It’s funny how people can have everything and still have nothing at all. Because the one thing they need is themselves to be happy and at peace. So sad. I wouldn’t even worry about those people. I would have stayed there just to agitate them. But that’s just me, you did the right thing though. No need to make a candle a bonfire.
When I was homeless I gave everything I had to everyone above myself. 🤷🏻♀️
Welcome to Arizona from an Arizona native unfortunately we’re getting people from all 50 states here a wide variety of personalities that is for sure up north in the forest is amazing around Flagstaff Kaibab Forest you can’t let the simple-minded people get you down your spirits awesome just found your channel and I hope you find what you’re looking for in a peaceful area Arizona grew three million people in the last couple years so yikes yikes be safe and I look forward to more of your videos have a great day
You have a magic strand in your genes that causes junk food to make you thinner. Lucky Charms, hot dogs, Waffle House… I almost got diabetes from looking at that Food City bakery with all its pastel colored frosted yum. God Bless you though- its working for you. It is getting warmer though- it wont be long before its really too hot in Arizona. Any ideas what summer will bring?
Should have honked your horn or used an air horn. They won’t talk much crap trying to stay on their horses. 😕
You got yourself a date😃🥂 I don’t see why not i’ll be glad to !!!
😉
I thought living in my car would be insane but now I’m ready to take on the world thankyou
You are very smart and stunning looking 😍 would be cool to conversat with you
That is my favorite drink Topo Chico!!! ❤️
You’d have to pay me to be in AZ during the winter lol Might as well rent an apartment for the season, with how everyone’s on top of eachother..
Sounds like they were doing that to make you leave for whatever reason, nice you met some cool people. I wouldn’t stay anywhere I didn’t feel safe for any reason. I was just out west for a month and didn’t have any problems but I never made it down to that much warmth, that’ll have to be another trip. Please try and be safe, hope you have something for defense, aholes are literally everywhere.
Agree with you 100%, you are an old soul 🦉 a wise one
Excellent video!!!
Oh my god this story makes me want to go to superstition mountain and park and take a fog horn with me In hopes of encountering those people so I could open my window as they r talking shit and just foghorn the shit out of them LOL. NO HORSE RIDER IS GOING TO TAKE THEIR HORSE AROUND A FOGHORN TWICE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 !
Do it Alyssa , go again with a foghorn and let me know how it turns out !!! Guarantee You’ll have peace the rest of the trip after the first morning !!
Girl next time use the metal square part of your belt to open your drink lol
Hey u an ♈?
What a great story about your tent-dwelling neighbors, scary to say yes, but worth it in the end. And you’re right, there’s something about knowing what it’s like to have nothing that brings out the kindness within, like there’s literally nothing to lose. Do know, however, that not all horse people are snotty like those you encountered. Many are very kind.
once it’s a bit warmer, central nevada is a great place to get away from people. Beautiful and desolate, lots of cool mountains, lots of public land
Me too☮️🌵the less property and responsibility one has the easier to be yourself.
Hate those kinds of horse people, it’s definitely a thing. I probably would’ve confronted them if they kept it up, stand my ground. Why doesn’t anyone go to New Mexico for the winter? Why is it always Arizona? Or try lower Nevada? Or So Cal, but out in the east. Surely there’s some hidden gems to find somewhere!
