Thank you for all of your amazing help and support. I am learning to be less hard on myself. Feeling good about my progress. 😊

I'm here for the great content, and the algorithm! Also, I subscribed before you hit the big 1,000/monetized mark!

[@BetterNeurodivergentTravel]

Now I look for a video that I would click on. (This one caught my eye) I love that you are a full time traveler, that’s super exciting and brave and adventurous. I plan NOTHING ever and I get squirrelly. I once asked viewers for honest critiques and someone told I ramble. I asked for it😂 You’re out and about and filming. I love this change of scenery. I’ve had stuff in my teeth too😂 same cause I forget to check a mirror first, I just feel it shows I’m a real human. You look like such a young GenXer! The house and cat I commented on….maybe not yours now that I’m getting to know you. I think you are doing great and the more you make the more comfortable you will be. The scenery is awesome. I only heard that term for the first time on the live I watched with you, bev, Kris and Jen. Your channel is growing fast. It’s taken me well over a year to reach 600, I don’t have a niche though, so expected. Keep going. I love how real you are.

Thank you for the feedback on the thumbnail and nice words in general, Tracie! I like how this thumbnail turned out too (bright yellow top, can't go wrong). Which term are referring to from the live? Thanks again for watching and commenting.

@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel it was initials used and now I can’t remember but I think you used it in this video too.

Hi as a woman with Audhd And who loves travel I think you have your own USP which is why I subscribed. I enjoy your videos as I feel your speaking my language and also giving practical advice based on experience. I have some ideas for topics. 1. I have a teen who is Audhd. What advice would you give your younger self about travel? 2. How being Neurodivergent might vary your experience in different countries. 3. I love the advice about packing but travel sets me off overthinking. What to plan and when to stop overthinking. Many Thanks for the thoughtful content x

[@BetterNeurodivergentTravel]

Love your ideas! I can definitely cover 1 & 2 easily. 3 ... that's tricky! Do you mean not to overthink the preparation (like packing) or the itinerary/activities? Thank you for watching!

[@ruthstrickland6679]

​@BetterNeurodivergentTravel I overthink everything! I enjoy the planning of the visit but packing is my nemesis. When is enough enough x

How do you handle the change of being in a new surrounding? I know for some neurodivergent people this can be very tricky. The reason why I love camping because I can take my house or space with me. How long does it take you to get or find gour bearings? For me getting my bearings or orientation during traveling days is hardest part. Not knowing where I am.. or if I am heading in the right direction.. or think I am going in the right direction but going to other directions.. i can't read or translate maps and even google maps.. can be confusing.

I am not an expert on youtube marketing but this is what would help me. 🥰 It could be helpful to follow a basic script or rhythm that you can implement wherever you are. Point out the things that you see, hear or are different. It will make your and our brain aware of those things. It could help. Tell us what you are trying or figuring out and we can give feedback. You could also don't face the camera but show the surroundings and talk or add text.. Finally. Don't worry about what other's think, your audience is a niche. I am not watching every video because it is hard for to translate your world to mine but I promise I will watch some of them and even comment.

My ADHD *loves* new surroundings. The idea of vanlife does appeal to me because then my surroundings change, but living set up is the same, but I am not a confident driver and haven't driven in years. Hopefully this can change. I guess I like cruises for the same reason. However I'm mostly housesitting today in exchange for free accommodation. I love that I have lots of space (usually) thought it's hard learning where the forks are AGAIN :) I usually feel settled by day 2-3 but I also have lots of practice!

[@BetterNeurodivergentTravel]

Thanks for the ideas. I actually have TONS of footage of my surroundings so those should hopefully start coming out soon! Thank you for watching and commenting :)

KZbin should help more people with face chalenges..subscribed to support

[@BetterNeurodivergentTravel]

Aww thank you that. Just checkout your channel. What a lovely voice. Also subscribed! I have never had support for my disabilities ... never even thought of it in terms of KZbin! That would be useful for many, I'm sure.
