CONFESSIONS OF A TRAVEL YOUTUBER (Very Honest Q&A)

You are a rare breed that can follow her dream. Not everyone has the gumption to travel alone to unknown locations. I have great respect for what you are doing. How you reinvented yourself. You are beautiful. You are courageous. You are amazing.

Eva, it truly amazes me that you can shoot, edit and publish an entire TV show in one week that has such high quality and that is very interesting and intriguing. Today's technology and publishing channels is amazing. But it's also amazing you can frame it, shoot, edit and publish an entire program in 7 days. One single lady is educating and entertaining millions of people. The power of one. So impressive. Well done Eva. You inspire me. David from Houston.

[@glenwilkening5967]

I follow a guy called slim potatohead he’s gotten into some pretty isolated places but how do you get the material uploaded when it’s not edited because most people understand that you cut a lot of stuff out but you’d have to have it in the first place to cut it out so how does she upload all this on a phone or does she have a satellite connection just some places are not gonna have the band with or even Internet access especially up in Alaska.

I really liked your answer about how you had to go through a rock-bottom crisis to make the changes which now support your new life. Same story for me. If someone had told me 6 years ago (when I was at rock bottom) that I would be travelling the world full time for several years now with no end in sight, and that I would be so so happy, I personally wouldn't have believed them. I went through a cancer battle (which I obviously won) a gambling addiction, divorce, death of both parents and job loss, house loss and huge debt. All now dealt with and in the past forever. My message is the same as yours - never give up and you sometimes have to go through a series of crisis to make the changes required to live life on your terms. Keep up the great work - excellent videos and inspiration.

[@nathanwahl9224]

OK, I'm completely blown away after watching probably a dozen of your videos, simply an amazing person, and now I see that you outfitted your Odyssey yourself???!!! My old heart just went pitter-patter!!! Magnificent!!! As a home woodworker I've made a couple of custom interiors for friend's vans, like one guy that is a locksmith, and we made a complete shop for him inside one. Everything he needed; shop bench, tools, key storage, power. He's still using it 20 years later. Not at all dissimilar to what you've done. Bravo!

[@MB_Kathrina]

Really fascinating! Perhaps there's one thing to add in all these conclusions: Its never to late to live that kind of life you want to live, and one can do this decision every moment in life!

[@spaceman9599]

Any moment in life is really the only moment you have, i.e. you are always somewhere between your past and your future - the trick is to really be there, not to be too far off somewhere else in reliving all that has happened or waiting for what will happen next. Making the now the long now is, finally, peaceful.

If you think the Louisiana bayou, the Navajo reservation, West Hollywood, Kodiak Island, Maui, Puerto Rico, Lancaster County, El Paso, Amarillo, Brooklyn, and Nashville aren't at least as distinctly different as Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, then I don't know what to say.

You can do that for a lifetime in a single country, like Australia or Canada, or cruise around all of Europe for a couple of weeks.

Thank you for sharing your story (4:12 - 6:13) about the hopelessness that nearly led you to not want to live, and how, through this crucible, you were driven to change your life. That is such an inspiration to so many of us who, like you, bought into the modern myth that achieving professional and material success would lead to happiness, only to be disillusioned by the fact that achieving said "dream" only led to drudgery and meaninglessness. Your story goes to show the rest of us that we hold the keys to unlocking our own chains, and sometimes the low points in life, however painful, are necessary to compel us to reach for those keys.

[@Vulpes_Inculta]

By the sound of it she ended up hooking up with "bad boys" riding the cöck carousel most likely drugs as well all while being married to some poor schmuck(common with today's women). Then when he dumped her ass(most likely) she's all like imma need to travel and "find" myself(aka running of way from accountability) while YT pays for everything. Of course this is all speculation and would love to hear from the guy she was married to. I just watched 2-3 videos of her and i can already tell she's wearing a mask. Granted we all wear masks but with her it seems more telling. I sense loneliness a bit of sadness as well but being lost is what i pick up most. And the reason for being lost is when ppl run away from responsibility and/or accountability. One has to face its own demons and make peace with them in order to find oneself and be whole again. One can only run so far before those demons catch up. And i feel it ain't gonna end well for her once it does. Again this is all just speculation of limited perceptual observation.

You're the girl I always wanted to meet and share exploring the world. Unfortunately, I now have a daughter about your age, so I would just have to adopt you. But she has the same aspirations and I just retired, so we are talking about doing so. Most people only dream of traveling, but it doesn't happen until they start like you have. I like the way you are doing it, it's pure and simple. Global warming doesn't seem to deter you. Keep going until you are satisfied. The naysayers are just too afraid. Never let them hold you back. It's not a life unless you live it.

My daughter is nearly my carbon copy and she found the needle in a hay stack with enough self confidence and understanding to give her space when she asks.

He learned early when she starts to tell him about an issue she has with something or someone he stops her as she begins and asks, “Am I problem solving or just listening?”. F-ing brilliant! Wish I figured that out earlier in life. 😁

And they have also become a source of happy uplifting energy and even helpful information during these crazy times. There is good and bad in most things and choosing to only focus on the negative will only make you miserable. Different things make different people happy and as long as they're not hurting anyone what's the point in judging them

I completely understand you. I had the same issues as you. I had what appeared to be on the outside a 'perfect life.' One day everthing came crashing down and I was forced to make a huge change. I was constantly looking elsewhere for the answers as to why I was unhappy. I had to do a lot of inner work and a lot of soul searching. I now practice yoga, reiki and meditation on a daily basis and found this has helped me a lot. I suffered from depression and anxiety and was on medication. I'm in a much better place now and the meditation in particular has helped enormously and my anxiety has gone. I still have challenging days. I find that taking walks in mother nature and listening to uplifting music and eating a healthy diet also helps. I was also in a job that I hated so I left my job as it was causing me health problems. I hope this may be of some help to you. Sending you love, light and healing. 🙏🙏💜💜✨✨

I was very close to leaving my friends behind because I couldn’t handle the stress anymore. Then said resident left and the situation relaxed immediately! I was so freaking relieved! Only to find out earlier this year that the whole community is leaving for Costa Rica in a few month. But I really don’t want to leave Europe and my family here. And don’t have anywhere else to go.

I'm hitting rock bottom right now, when I say I lost everything I'm not being dramatic or exaggerating. I truly hope I can bounce back the way you did.

I can't express how beautiful this is Your upload is irresistible. Thanks for sharing and keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand the real life more and more!!!!

[@sabiqunnahermoshi254]

Hey Eva! Hope this comment finds you well. I' ve been watching your videos since the beginning of the pandemic & believe me it helped me & still helping me a lot. Your words, travelling stories have encouraged me a lot during my bad days of my life. I love to travel a lot and maybe one day, I may become a carefree traveller like you. These days, I am facing a strange time of my life ( depression, frustration bla bla bla...) & this specific video inspired me & helped me finding some questions that i am searching for. Thank you sooo much, Girl!

[@lilyvale5994]

I totally agree with you on counting countries. Keep shining and Enjoy it!🥰

[@nathanielseymour8108]

I'm glad you found something you're passionate about and I along with your 1.5M subscribers have been enjoying your vids! That's one of my philosophies in life "find something you like and work your @$* off." I think you have a great personality for meeting new people, accepting different cultures and staying positive which is perfect for travel vlogging! Thanks for all the info you provide on what's out there. :)

[@peterfritzphoto]

Thank you, Eva! Really happy you answered the question about your amazing drone footage. I certainly didn’t expect you had someone filming for you, but I’ve crashed my drone twice trying to film my vehicle, so I was super impressed with what you’ve been able to create. I really love your work and your philosophy of life, and the importance of living while you’re alive. 💕👍🇦🇺

[@DekonR]

I know this video is a year old, and I hate being that guy, but flying a drone while driving a vehicle is illegal. At least in the US. The fact you've crashed your twice is exactly why. That said, when you are out in the boonies like most of these shots and your risk to others is virtually nil, it's worth the risk perhaps, lol.

[@peterfritzphoto]

@@DekonR I’m in Australia. And I wasn’t controlling the drone manually - it was set to vehicle tracking. The first time was on a closed road, and the second on a dirt track out in the country. Both crashes were due to the lack of side sensors and general incompetence on my part.

[@semanuel77]

Wow, Eva, what a surprise! As a full time living in Romania I'm so surprised about your answer...Yes, Romania it's a wonderfull country, but when you permanently live here, there are a lot of other things, which are not so beatiful as nature is...unfortunatly...but yes, ...the braves...you know

[@shanecaut1063]

Love your honesty Eva! You're an inspiration!

[@5RustyBin]

You are a stand up example to others - living the dream and looking and sounding amazing

[@LIFEBATTLEHARDENENHEART]

I think you’re absolutely amazing, the freedom of your life. I personally feel everyone should try gives you a power within yourself. Safe journeys and breath in your amazing adventures, thank you for sharing.

[@sandeepnaicker4051]

I'm happy for you as long as you're happy with what you doing it's always good to see you're videos have a great one.

[@peterfritzphoto]

One of your best videos, Eva. Thank you so much for your generosity and your candour.

[@katem2411]

Thank you for taking the time to answer so many questions. The bit about rock bottom when living how society dictates should make you happy hit me hard and knowing that you've been where I am now and found a better way gives me hope that I'll figure my way to a better life too 💞

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

I am watching this many months after you uploaded it. It is nice that you are so open about yourself. I used to be more closed off, but over time, I have become a very open person, and I am much more comfortable being that way. Anyway, I hope that your knee wasn't too badly damaged, and you were able to run in your ultramarathon.

[@spaceman9599]

Excellent stuff. Question #4 is as real as it gets: thank you for sharing that and the message from it. Kudos to you for daring to live the often-forgotten truth - it is always possible to press restart. Your calmness and poise are inspiring. Love your work and your journeys, a bit jealous that I didn't figure the same sort of thing out a while back, and taking that little bit of inspiration to dare to focus a bit more on travelling and storytelling myself. After all, there is an incredible planet out there, full of life to see. Safe travels

[@mermaid20194]

Love your videos, Eva. Thank you so much for the encouragement, honesty, and bravery that you share with your fans. You are inspiring!

[@Rerouting_]

Thank you for answering the question about loneliness. I hope people get to understand eventually that to do stuff alone doesn't necessarily mean that you feel lonely. I get this question quite often as well, but doing stuff alone is a thing I sometimes even prefer than constantly hanging out with people. Also, awesome, that you and Mike pushed through the pandemic. I might see my boyfriend after 20 months of being apart due to Covid again, and I can totally feel the whatsapp/facetime/skype situation. 😅 Enjoy your time together 🙂

[@evelynalvarracin807]

Finally, Eva's video this weekend!! I really enjoy with your channel Evaaa, because it is definitely authentic content ✌🏻🤗🤗

[@sbgroen]

A bit late, but I've watched a lot of your videos, and this was my favorite.

[@nenadnedovic9246]

Your a brave girl and hearing where and how you started is great and where you are is amazing.

[@cranefly23]

A fascinating insight. Thanks, Eva. Loved it!

[@myraphoenixnature88]

That's why I was captivated one time I watched your vlogs, we have 1 in common, I just love being with my own company too. Continue being YOU.☯️🌈🌞

[@LyraFreedomTV]

It's so crazy to me that this was only one year ago. You're such a fast growing intellectual entity. Watching you experience, listening to you talk all starts such deep powerful engine inside my spirit. Thank you for that.

[@SwissTanuki]

I really want to thank you. I'm a very ordinary person who is living a very ordinary life and I love it. I don't like change and I keep everything safe. But I'm also a dreamer and I love stories. You are a very good story teller and I'm looking forward to see more. So thank you for all your adventures. I love it 😀

[@fayepotts3279]

You have learned hard life’s lessons from the mistakes you made in the past! All l see and hear is a person who cherishes every aspect of living. We love you Eva, thank you so much for your encouragement to others who have many challenges to overcome.

[@maxmustermann8167]

"You have learned hard life’s lessons from the mistakes you made in the past!" Uhm, thats normal for everbody.

[@CeitDeVitto]

As a 50+-year-old Childfree woman, I never had that drive to have biological children. I never had that maternal instinct, and knew when I was 10 that I never wanted to have children of my own. Nope, it hasn't changed, nope I have no regret, and nope I don't hate children. I just don't want them. Keep on doing what you love and be true to yourself. Awesome channel. I live vicariously through your videos.

[@ziontours5893]

A famous Israreli politician, Merav Michaeli, who always opposed having children in this day and age, just had a baby boy by surrogacy because her partner really wanted a kid and persuaded her to cave in. She's 54 and seems really happy by their decision.

[@TheTrailSnail]

@@ziontours5893 Weird reply...

[@allwinranjith507]

It is one's choice to accept or reject family and children. If someone says no to the child he must have found a way to achieve greater happiness than that. Further completion must have occurred to him. If so that is correct.

[@tulukdek8898]

I’m 22, and never in my life I dream on have a kid or getting married. I’m a free soul

[@jholmes553]

I love that you used the word "CHILD-FREE" instead of "CHILDLESS". It just sounds more positive. I'm gonna start using that. Also, I had to point out that in the Q&A you said that your life is 90% happy and 10% sad. Then the video actually reflected that with the last part about how you tripped.

[@sukhdevsingh-wi7vn]

Hi Eva I hear mostly everyday

[@ronebakuwel5353]

I enjoyed your reply to settling on a rural property, in the hills, and finally in Romania! Because this is what my family is also just about to embark on! We live in East Coast Australia and within months we will be travelling to RO to chase a New Lifestyle... I found your channel due to looking at RO videos. Bravo on your work Eva, very professional and quality work. And I love your moto about being brave. Wishing you your best

Wow! What strange questions! Especially the crew and cast keeping you safe at night??? I really love your story telling and logic you apply to situations.

[@sannaghafoor7478]

Worst part of your videos are when they come to an end! I relate incredibly to your longing for independence. Not everyone needs all that human interaction to be or stay happy. The best form of happiness is when its found within the self.

[@lovedeleon8987]

Your one of a kind woman Eva🤘👌💪 I'm happy seeing you with Mike .. Stay in love ❤️ & more adventure to come 😘🥰🤘❤️❤️

[@abouttime5000]

Eva, you're honest answers were a breath of fresh air and inspiring.

[@tiffanyr134]

Eva traveled more in this video to answer questions than I have in the last six years lol Due to my anxiety and my autoimmune condition, I don't go more than an hour from home. I have genuine fear of being away from home as well as a fear of having symptoms and getting really sick away from home. I just recently found this channel and I very much appreciate seeing the world through Eva. Her honesty is refreshing and I like that she doesn't sugar coat the trials and challenges of traveling. I look forward to each video :)

[@chasingcultures]

This was great Eva!! I really appreciate the honesty. I feel like I am in a similar place to where you were. Your work is amazing and inspiring, thank you for sharing.

[@Youbularbells]

I once met a guy travelling who proudly told me he'd been to more than 100 countries! I met him in a queue at an embassy waiting for a visa.. I asked, and he'd spent most of his time in those 100 countries queuing for visas... I found it hilarious and sad, like what's the point?

[@kenhiett5266]

I've found that people who are comfortable being alone are often the strongest, most interesting people.

[@efi4100]

why is it good

[@efi4100]

@@K3Best well she said it's good and i'm curious why

[@hippybecca]

@@efi4100 because people often get shamed for not wanting kids.

[@chiron-xe4zq]

@@efi4100 good = less population

[@sleepmusicland]

Because more people can be open about their desire to have kids or not. Right now it is expected for women and everyone who can get pregnant, to have kids later on. Some day you'll change your mind, you haven't found the right person yet, things I have heard since I was 20 years old. I got even jobs denied for the fact that I am a woman in my late twenties due tot the fact that I was applying in a men dominated field, which I was like?! what? Are you serious? You rather give the position to someone who hasn't the same qualifiactions based on that I am a woman and you don't believe that I don't want children? So yes this is good. It should be more common that also women don't want chidlren. We exist too.
