#Vanlife

[@TheLyzardIAm]

Balancing so many things in such a small shared space is difficult. I'm pretty sure none of us here mind you being honest about how you're feeling. I personally don't care for vloggers who are always perfectly happy and positive. That isn't what life is like. Be you, Hannah.

[@TheTishbite]

My thought exactly, Lyzette

[@stevensbirds4455]

Hannah take a deep breath. You're always amazing to me. Your videos are top-notch.

[@anferneec]

Very real, very raw. That's what I appreciate about you most Hannah. I've been telling my wife that the #vanlife portrayed on youtube and Instagram is only one perspective - the one people want everyone to see. Behind the scenes, it is a whole lot different. As is the added stress that comes with getting work done in order to afford the lifestyle that you live. So thank you for sharing this insight into what it's really like to be a youtuber with us.

[@thornton]

We do appreciate your honesty and humility - it's okay. Thank you for the real and nuanced analysis of your own mind.

[@sarahw833]

As a fellow creative, I feel your stress and found myself nodding in vigorous agreement with all the points you brought up. I work 7 days a week doing freelance work and retail to stay afloat. Sacrificing sleep for deadlines and constantly questioning self-worth and then reminding myself that I am doing things that me 5 years ago would have killed to do. Keep doing what you're doing Hannah, because you're bloody amazing at it! Also, I'm getting me a Mochi jumper!

[@patkay]

can relate. this is why i’m such a big fan of slow travel, because going hard everyday is fkn difficult! it’s much nicer to just spend a few days a week out, while spending the remainder of the week resting =)

[@theboringkaren]

Your problems are worth getting off your chest, though. xx I appreciate how real and honest you are, Hannah.

[@inertia182]

Travel is not easy. It is healthy to decompress. Just because a past you or other people idealize an experience doesn't mean that the experience with reflect that ideal. You don't need to apologize for feeling and talking about those feelings. This was a beautiful video and you did a good job. I appreciated the piece of you talking in a field and sharing your emotions. It is a moment that is human. Thank you for sharing pieces of your life that allow us to see and experience things we might never take the opportunity to experience.

[@bethcameron5863]

I’m glad that your so honest about this. 😀 I have those days.

[@hanimik5076]

Aww Hannah! Glad to see you getting it off your chest. It’s hard not to be strict to yourself as a creative person, you want to do your best and sometimes it feels it’s not enough and it gets overwhelming. I think people can feel when you put your all into a video and that’s what makes it best. Even if it was filmed on the phone I think as long as the emotions are transmitted then it’s all good. Keep going, love your content , you inspire me a lot xxx

[@piyushgupta9493]

Hey Hanna, I really like how natural you are with all this. Usually all Vlogs, Social Media portrays that everything is happy, awesome, life is beautiful types. I am glad you're putting such videos out too, it's kind of showing reality of what's going at the back. You're doing great & I agree, travelling in a van is challenging. Have a good one mate! Yeaa, Yeaahh, Yeeaaahhhhh!

[@MrPagul]

Hannah - you were not complaining - you were being honest. This is something that few KZbinrs are. Your videos are always great - your honesty shows the ups and downs. Thank you so much for all the time and hard work you donate.

[@sallyscallywag]

Love your videos. Stunning filmography. Sorry you were having an 'exhausted day'. Thanks for being real. Vanlife is a very close and intense experience. Time out works miracles and believe me...you will look back in years to come and only remember the fabulousness and how you discovered your true self in the challenges.

[@toothpastehombre]

So damn honest. It is refreshing seeing the vulnerable authenticity. Good job bookending your rant with a positive perspective. That is what matters, let the small stuff go, keep your eye on what matters Anywho, you're great. Glad I found your channel

[@andgainingspeed]

If I had gone to Walmart three times in a single day, I imagine I wouldn't be having a good time either. 😅 Regardless you are putting together some great content. The drone footage is consistently beautiful. Thanks for taking us along on the trip without us having to experience all the inconveniences, annoyances and fatigue. 👍

[@robynlawlor4389]

I feel like the best way to avoid stress while traveling is to stay in locations for longer periods of time. It gives you more time to get the perfect drone shots and video footage. You can return to locations without stressing as much. Some days can be spent wondering and discovering places most people skip due to a shortage of time.

[@kristinteeples9066]

As someone who did 2 rounds of 8 months of Accutane.. I highly recommend C.O.Bigelow's My Favorite Night Balm. You can find it at Bath & Body Works or online. It goes on like a thick gloss but stays in place all night.. all day... I had like 5 of them stashed everywhere when I was on it. :) Good luck! It's worth it in the end.

[@peytongallaway2568]

i'm so thankful for content creators like you. your videos bring a sense of deep feeling and love of life. inspiring and moving. so much love coming your way.

[@Gantorin]

Venting on daily stresses is sometimes a must do thing. Even travelling has is stress point, and adding all you do on top of those combined with close quarters, and van life. I can imagine what the rougher may be like. Everything may not be all roses and sunshine, but I glad you got it out. Even though this was recorded awhile ago. I am curious on what your next big adventure will be.

[@jannis300886]

We traveled for 14 months... By bus, train, motorcycle, car and van. And we found the time in the van was the most challenging... still worth it! Keep it up!

[@TheLineCutter]

Loved the lifetalk. After I was gushing over the drone footage ;) There is always pressure. You can make solving problems a little bit more enjoyable by accepting the struggle and finding peace in it. If you relate to being overwhelmed by your emotions you could take some time during the day to take a step back and sense your inner impulses. Find out where they come from and why they are there. Maybe identify with the proces instead of the result? Everyone is a work in progress. The most important conversation you'll have in your life is with yourself. In that dark room you can shape the person who can walk out of that dark room and face whatever life throws at it. Whatever you feel, you're always going to feel it. Fear of failure and anxiety, the goal is not to make it go away. The goal is to *expect a much harder fight*. Every day. And to get to a place where you can handle more than is thrown at you. But that takes a bit of soulsearching. Knowing all your buttons. So you can have control over your mind. I like David Goggins: "the mind has the tactical advantage over you, at all times". You have to decide whether you believe all that your mind tries to make you believe.

[@glouiz340]

Hannah I've been following your channel for about a year now. I love your videos, you are so genuine. We all have bad days, I'm glad you felt able to vent a little. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!! 😀

[@BerendsBees]

Exceptional video Hannah. Utah looks magnificent and Yoshi's dance was hilarious. He has such great energy.

[@LinaForrestal]

PS. Thank you for being so real and authentic, I totally understand...I've been traveling for a year and it's EXHAUSTING

[@glennthompson7525]

Another really well done video. You are smart enough to recognize the needs that arose from being together in such a small space (even with the great outdoors available). I know it was a nice van, but it's a very confined space when you have to work from it, and live in it. And you look great, I'm sure being in that low humidity environment was the biggest culprit for all those "dry" symptoms.

[@kvinettaf09]

Reading through the comment section is even encouraging to me haha. Thank you for being open and for letting your art/work reflect honesty and the roughness of life sometimes. You're amazing, and so are your videos, I enjoy literally every single one. Yay for merch! And I hope van life gets easier on you and Yoshi. Looking forward to enjoying the views :D

[@kungfool69]

always real and raw with Hannah. Thanks for sharing, this was a great look into the realness of travel life.

[@tacovids]

Zion's river hike is the best hike you'll ever have. Make sure to use normal shoes and not water shoes. The hike goes on for miles and miles but when the sun is setting and there is water on a rock it looks like gold.

[@tkghiloni]

Thank you for the honesty, creativity and being an INSPIRATION. You’re not alone. I hope you have had many better days in recent memory. But thank you for sharing this one. FYI- You’ve given me the confidence to leave the US for the first time with more excitement than anxiety. PLUS your camera work is enviable to say the least. Seriously, thank you. Keep up the top-notch work. Creators like you make more of a difference than you realize.

[@chuckmontecillo9620]

Awww... I’m sorry that you hit a wall and we’re experiencing a difficult time. It’s part of life. It doesn’t matter what you do. Everyone goes through it. No need to feel bad about feeling bad. As they say, drama is good for the vlog. 😃 Hang in there. And keep on doing what you love. 👌👌👌

[@ajisaiart]

Everyone has different moments in their daily life which will make him or her stressed out and that is okay. It doesn’t matter how “stupid” it sounds to yourself compared to other people’s problems, but you can’t compare to everyone. It’s tough for you and it’s normal to complain, be stressed and frustrated. You’re only a human being and it’s way more authentic to show the low points of a trip as well. Thank you for another amazing video!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much for this. I often feel like I don't want to complain about things while I'm travelling because I'm lucky to be there in the first place but it's nice to hear so much supportive feedback. Thank you!

[@terriwensley2824]

Hannah, you did good. You are talented and putting yourself out there and being real makes you more relatable. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@vp4744]

One little secret no one mentions about traveling in the desert Southwest of the U.S. It makes you question your sanity. All those wide open space vistas with sublime landscapes do this to everyone. It is a spiritual experience. Some survive intact but many transform.

[@xUnikronx]

I understand your frustrations, and I commend you for taking on the "van life" as much as id like to travel with a significant other, I don't think id be able to do it in a van, for the reasons you mentioned about not having your own space. Hell I probably couldn't do it solo, id probably loose my mind, but I appreciate you sharing your frustrations and being level with us and not just put on a front. Everyone needs to vent sometimes and were here for you! Hope the rest of your travels go well and I look forward to the next video!

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Excellent filming as usual Hannah 🙌

[@saneill17]

Love you for being real girl 💕 It’s all part of the adventure. It every day is perfect even tho people may think otherwise

[@paulgerg6879]

Have just bought the Mochi t-shirt! Talking of which, an Asian supermarket has just opened up in Nottingham, where I live in the UK. It is selling Mochi in boxes - green tea, red bean and chocolate. Does anyone know if Mochi in a box is anything like the Mochi that Hannah gets in her Japanese markets? Or is it a pale comparison? I am intrigued to try it but don't want to be disappointed if it is an inferior product. I would rather wait and try the real thing... one day... when hell freezes over and I afford a trip to Japan.

[@catherinehudson406]

Thank you, I am so glad you are telling us your real true feelings of traveling in a van I feel less envy now.

[@nadiadayan4302]

Thanks for being real and honest!

[@imc7691]

Loving your honesty in your videos. Your videos are awesome.

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

Even when complaining your cinematography is amazing.

[@lilyhu1963]

Your videos are a perfect mix of amazingness and realness👍🏻

[@aguynamedscott11]

Its funny. Last year I was travelling along those same roads with my wife. I'm glad we stuck with air b and b's instead of van's. My mom cured me of any desire to try van life when she dragged my sister and me crossed the country in a Volkswagen van back in the hippy days. Its too bad you didn't make it to Roswell NM. They had a film festival going on that could have used an influencer or two to help promote it. If you ever want to go to a film festival and be the only one in the audience who didn't star in or produce a movie, that is the place to go. I loved it.

[@emailant]

The background looked beautiful really, while you were on the field ranting. Visually pleasing. So it was the most beautiful rant segment I’ve seen. 😬 Btw, you’re really authentic. I’m glad to view the world through your lens. It’s just beautiful, the highs and lows, all-in. (Both visually as well as via your thoughts). And to ease some pressure, even if your future work wasn’t so perfect as they are now, I’d still enjoy watching for the authentic, uplifting and kind perspective you bring to everything.

[@edwinrosales6322]

Who'd have thought such arid terrain could be so remarkably beautiful. I know it's easier said than done but try not to allow the pressure get to you, your videos are excellent (even if you do a bit of complaining)

[@georgevanzandbergen905]

you know how rare it is to see authentic on youtube..I applaud you and don't burnout like many of my favorites have already....having to be creative when they are not feeling it.

[@SR-mk7dz]

Accutane will make you depressed/mood changes. Be aware that it may be the meds. I took it a long while ago and it seemed to progressively get worse. I also experienced muscle pain during and for a long time after stopping Accutane.

[@chrisnewtownnsw]

Yep. Follow a paleo diet, steer clear of milk and wheat and there's no need for accutane. Treat the root cause and don't put a bandaid on it

[@Nynke_K]

What a cute mochi design! Let us know if you ever do a sticker version of that - would totally buy it!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah there’s a sticker available in the shop :)

[@Patmanx1]

I get it. your mode of transportation is 1.)you car, 2.)your room, 3.)your office, 4.)you personal space and you gotta share every inch of it. You're traveling around the large, spread-out portion of the US too...

[@GregoryFariss]

The was some of the best video of the trip. Great scenery, some honesty, and some Yoshi being Yoshi. 4:09 Hannah thinks, “dear lord, I actually choose to have this weirdo as my boyfriend.” I can’t help myself, this is sooo bad. You know where you get another SD card? That’s right, back at Walmart. What you’re feeling is perfectly normal. You’re on this great vacation, but you’re also working and paying for the vacation with videos which need to be good enough so enough people watch. You’re with you boyfriend who you miss, but damn this van is tiny. Yup, that stress can add up quickly.

[@SoniaDekker]

We ALL need our space to decompress sometimes. I can TOTALLY relate to that. Your videos are AMAZING! ♥️♥️♥️

[@phume5400]

I don’t know where to go to look at the merchandise you discussed?

[@aub_88]

Hey, you’re not alone! Also, have been so excited to see you in Southern Utah, my home is St. George!! Sorry you missed out on the red cliffs hike, that hike is gorgeous when the water is flowing! Please feel free to contact me if you ever come back!! I know TONS of amazing southern Utah spots!! I would be soo thrilled to show you around, and you even have a free place to stay if you want!! Love your videos ♥️ keep it up, you were an inspiration for me to start my own channel.

[@NarrativeEscapes]

Don't worry about it. Living out a small space for an extended period would be stressful no matter how it comes about. Especially if there are deadlines and financial elements attached to it .

[@AndreikVlogs]

thank you Hannah ! always an inspiration to travel more !

[@skyblueiiii]

I loved the colors or colours. You always do a great job with the areal pictures. I like that you liked the Walmart field. LOL. Sometimes the best places are simply appreciating what we have.

[@getsuga-zangetsu]

This is exactly what keeps bringing us back to you :) you keep it real you keep it simple. I know you'll just gone all in with your chips so probably will take some time until you get a little more comfortable with things. I'm sure you'll get there. P.S. grats on the merchandise :D

[@mystorymedias5094]

Gambatte, and thank you for showing us the awesome imagery, insights through your travel. About the quality of your videos, your previous vlogs were more constructed to a certain storyline and we as viewers were discovering it with you as you were experiencing it. On the other hand, your trip to the US, its like more a bunch of videos without the story behind it. i dont know if its make sense, or im being biased, but lots of beautiful shots, the Utah drone shots were dope :) From my little experience there's always conflicts when travelling with someone at one point or another, cant escape that, but that can't stop us :) Genki dene. Waiting for the next one.

[@paulgerg6879]

Living in a space with nowhere to call your own is a stressful thing. Normally, in a house or flat, you have somewhere to pop away to when you are needing quiet time and in a van, especially when it is cold or wet outside, that space is unavailable. If you do van living again, can I suggest you both do trips out of the van where you both go on different trips for the whole day? You can both still Vlog and it gives you the chance to have your own time and then, when you see each other later, you both have different things to talk about that happened in the day. I lived in a tiny house with 4 adults and one and a half bedrooms when I first got married and it was a nightmare. Talking about these things is a good way to relieve the stress and is really normal and totally healthy. So go for it.

[@emilytigerphoenix2538]

It’s totally okay for you to vent! I getchu. I also was on Accutane and it has a side effect of making you depressed. Also, it’s kinda whack haha. I do think it was worth it but that doesn’t mean I didn’t suffer. Also being in southern Utah in that heat can make you suffer. Don’t worry about complaining about your problems, they’re valid! I’m glad you enjoyed Utah. I live here, and I agree it is very beautiful.

[@seandesmond5560]

Awesome video lovely Hannah!!! ❤

[@invictamike6734]

You sound like you are feeling better by the end. You do amazing videos don't worry about it so much. You have brought me so many places I would have never seen and I really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

[@karadunham6833]

Thank you for being real! 😘 Hope the rest of your week is amazing!

[@TheTishbite]

You're not alone, I love camping but only a certain amount. Even the best things can get tiresome, Hannah. You put so much into them and want them right and that takes a lot of work and worry. I can relate. Dry skin in Utah, jeepers. Congratulations on your sponsors! I'm sure they are attracted to your quality and talent in putting these videos together. So glad to see you home and happy. Message to sponsors: Keep it up, this girl is worth it.

[@oskarkarlsson6964]

A true vlogg! That is refreshing!

[@eizenhalft]

You are crazy awesome, Hannah. I'm glad that I discovered you. Your work is both fun and inspirational.

[@johnnyblade5990]

Felt I needed to say ...I know it's not easy but dam! The quality of your Videos is super good and the music matches fore the mood..it's you job now. Try to stand back and appreciate the here and now.. I love the journey with you , hang in there and keep the content coming.... love ya...👍😎

[@robertbaker5384]

Love your work. Wish I could do it to.

[@rohansikder6665]

Yaaaay ordered a pink mochi hoodie 🍡🍡🍡

[@JustSheik]

You're real. You're honest. You're venting. It's all okay. Good to see the not so happy sides of vlogging! : } Love you, Hannah!

[@johnpagoto1054]

Yep, it ain't all honey and roses. Even in paradise

[@sweetiemcgee]

one serious side effect that i experienced taking acutane was depression and just feeling down all the time.

[@FerruhTumer]

Hi Hannah, Doesn’t matter what we do for living or however rich or poor we are. We all have ups and downs and it is totally OKAY. You guys have great content by the way 😉

[@empireofpeaches]

Thanks Hannah for your great vids. Take a break when/if you can, we will still be here. Good luck with your marathon training.

[@JonathanBarrientos]

Accutane is annoying. Good thing it's only for a few months and then you have good skin. I took it while doing track back in high school and my joints always used to hurt. Keep up the good work!!!!! Don't stress to much. One thing at a time. :)

[@JonathanTully001]

Thanks for being honest about the KZbin lifestyle -- it's something I am still considering as a side hustle, but I do need to know that there is a lot about it that ISN'T glamorous and is hard work, just like everything else in life...

[@dimm0k]

enjoy your videos, keep'em coming! sidenote, I went through Accutane as well and while it sucked I can say it was worth it in the end. hope yours is as well!

[@rickmarr8784]

Should be careful with those pre-wash prepackage salads. One time I had just pour it out in a bowl and was mixing the dressing in and found a perfectly intact dead moth. And if you're wondering yes I still ate the salad after I taken the moth out and whatever bits surrounding it but was quite uncomfortable the whole time.

[@alvashoemaker8536]

Ssrikusly...?!!THANK YOU for being honest and truthful and honest; SO many people appear so...artificial when "performing" (for their site), th at it just defeats the whole experience of you tube; your post made it real. Thank You!!

[@grafffuller3265]

Yes, traveling can wear on your nerves. You are not alone. Love your videos. Thanks you for taking us to Utah. Talk to you, later.

[@Stefan.n]

The sqarespace link isn't click able I love your videos, keep it up 😊

[@Tyler380]

I can think of so many things to say.. I'll go with, its great to be home at last..

[@ムンセドリック]

Really liking the black hair

[@edmxop2611]

Do not focus on others just focus on what you want with you love

[@DigitalArtcast]

OK stop! Seriously my dude you're doing great! First off don't deny your feelings, if you're unhappy then own it complain talk to someone and vent make sure you have someone in your life you can rely on and vent too. Secondly don't put too much pressure on yourself to be amazing all the time you're not perfect like everyone on the planet! Take a breath chill and enjoy your time. Focus on the now x

[@Ninarosemiel]

Alright Hannah it’s good to complain sometimes, it’s real, it’s letting out the emotions we feel of the moment necessary for the soul!!!!

[@halukak9075]

its okay to complain its healthy to let it all out sometimes its just part of life and being human :)

[@lonelygirltravels5961]

It’s not stupid to complain about having to go to Walmart 3 times in one day when you’re supposed to be camping and enjoying the scenery. I would just die if I had to walk in that heat and not get rewarded with either fresh water or a nice air conditioned room and cold shower afterwards. Yes, I am spoiled... but seriously, it’s so hot right now!

[@alexlai2536]

Traveling for a long period of time is totally crazy and impractical. I did for 4 weeks and it even put strains on my relationship with my family members whom I met for one week lol, let alone you traveling with someone. Anyway, home sweet home.

[@milly4543]

I don't mind you complaining because you're actually aware of the fact that even though you're having a rough time from one point of view you're also having an amazing time. It's the people that complain without any perspective that are annoying lol Also, your content and editing is pretty much amazing!

[@buzzfuster1341]

Thank you Hannah for your honesty and vulnerability. "First-world problems" to be sure, but you are open and honest and that's why I like your vids and why I keep coming back. Keep up the great work!! :)

[@Maikaduriel]

Roaccutane is worth it in the long run girl, hang in there. Skincare and van life don't go together so well either - hopefully your adventures since then have made it easier on you!

[@benec5816]

nothing like a good whinge to clear the mind and the soul. Vaning it sounds fantastic to everyone till they try it for an extended period and then although good it will knock you around so much. Nevermind another great video in the can and love the drone work too bad about the water stay safe and you are still looking great keep enjoying it see ya

[@MateoQuixote]

I wish you sold actual "Currently Hannah" brand mochi. Would buy 100

[@komyn27]

This is pretty normal. You guys don't have practice living in a tiny space together. My husband and I have been sharing a small space for several years. It just takes practice, patience, and the ability to communicate with your partner and not take things personally.

[@brisbanerugby]

凄い形式でしょうネ。Another great vlog, go girl (& Yoshi-kun).

[@Ozzyisunavailable]

how long does it take you to edit these vlogs like damn that's a ridiculously good vlog. kinda wanna go to Utah now

[@robertmaddelena7890]

There is still work involved to do what you do. So sometimes it can overwhelm you.Do not worry about it just unplug some how through yoga and prayer. Be thankful you can see all this beauty God created..

[@ichikhunbathokchom1033]

Hi!! New subscriber here! Your videos are really awesome and Yoshi is so cool and funny. You guys are perfect. Love from India. 😊

[@gaatjenietaanprivacy5023]

Nice video. And I don't say this often, but I like the way you have your hair black, it suits you perfectly.
