My wife and I did our van life adventure all over the U.S in 2021 and we finally realized her longtime dream of traveling most of the states. Unfortunately, she passed a couple of months ago but she lived to the fullest and during our adventures we experienced so much and lived a thousand lives through our travels..It's refreshing to watch your videos, makes me relive my time with Hannah again and our adventures/ misadventures haha Enjoy guys! Much love and good luck to you 💛

[@sxtn102]

What a gift to have spent that kind of life with your Hannah during her last days! Not many can say they have had that kind of experience, maybe across an entire lifetime. I hope you are still holding it as precious and knowing that if your life together had to end, as most do one way or another, it couldn't have been better. Mush love, Lynn

are you bout to buy a van?

[@dillonwehde]

I did van life for 4 years. Sickness, loneliness, being cold, and feeling detached due to no routines and constantly moving is such a huge part of it and it's so good people showcase it more now. When I started in 2019 it felt like most people were overly positive about it without sharing the negatives. Its like everything in life not only good or only bad. Amazing experiences and meeting amazing people, better than you can even imagine before you start but there are for sure times all I wanted to do was travel back to the apartment I got rid of and get a good night sleep in the warmth & a hot shower. Great video showing the ups and downs and how incredible vanlife can be. Without those negatives it wouldn't be as good.

[@WanderingWeirdly]

I remember going through this exact rollercoaster of emotions while I was backpacking solo for about a year in my early 20s... Africa, The Middle East, Asia, Europe, America... I got good and lost on so many levels Never really sure where I was going, getting stuck in places, doing whatever to get to the next place, which was usually decided on a whim when I had enough money scratched together for transport, food, and a few weeks shelter. Looking back, it feels like a fever dream of aimlessly wandering the world with a simple mantra of: "Take it all in but keep moving" You're going to be alright.

[@taylorcassell]

Do you think it’s worth the struggle

[@WanderingWeirdly]

@@taylorcassell I do. Are there things that I wish had gone differently? Sure. Were there moments I wanted to just give up and go home? Definitely. All that said, if I didn't go through those struggles, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Those experiences opened my mind and my heart. Crossing the gap between familiar comfort and the unknown, taught me the antifragility of human spirit. That it's not about reaching the top of the mountain, but rather proving to yourself that you are the type of person who can reach the top of the mountain. There will always be more mountains. Comparing the good and bad sides of different cultures and societies showed me that people are people, and tribalism is no longer serving humanity. We have way more in common than we think. It turned my empathy bucket into an empathy well.

[@DaWord2011]

"I wouldn't trade this for anything. Like there is not really anything else I'd rather be doing. But I also feel like I don't really know what I'm doing at all." These words hit me like a truck. Sometimes it feels like we are just hurdling through life trying to grasp onto what matters to us. Thank you for your amazing story telling and cinematography.

That's what I thought as well! It feels like I'm watching a movie/series about couple traveling

[@reedehinger2636]

Okay the symbolism and meaning in her films is awesome. She is also seriously just so good at curating these shots with impressionistic uses of natural lighting (the van's yellow lights, the yellow light of the sun, the darkness of night and rain, etc.) and playing just the right music with these shots to give you this sense of wonderment, and self-discovery, and upbeat-ness but also weird tinges of sadness and the unknown. Honestly, watching her Borderless series scratches an itch I didn't know I had all along: a need for freedom and self-discovery, with all the right trials and hardships that help me grow mixed in. Thanks Natalie. Hope you're safe and happy.

[@wren4now904]

The amount of pure longing this made me feel is indescribable. Well done Natalie, the storytelling and photography and videography and cinematography is incredible. Thank you. I genuinely didn't think i could feel emotions this intense. Thank you so much and please keep doing what you're doing.

[@melaniegriesemer]

“We can’t control what happens, we can only control our reaction to what happens.” WOW I absolutely love this message. ❤️ Natalie I admire you so much and you give me so much inspiration and hope for what KZbin can be used for. Not just clickbait, trends, “consistency” for the sake of consistency - posting daily and weekly content just to get views and make money, but instead used as an outlet for beautiful, quality filmmaking, cinematography, editing, and incredible storytelling all done with intention, passion and authenticity.

[@Ramdapanda]

The realizations she's having about life is stuff that I as a 33 year old man only in the last year or two started grasping. Truly inspiring to see, and that realization in particular is such a mindful and zen one.

[@yishaibasserabie5765]

Natalie, you should be proud. Your addition to the compendium of human experience is one of incredible value. To embrace the absurd is one of the most difficult things one can do and you’re teaching me how. Your ability to let in all the overwhelming and seemingly negative emotions, not avoiding them but swimming in them, is a lesson to all of us and will give you the tools, not to overcome them, but to use them to experience all the euphoric and positive ones. I now sit grappling with the knowledge that I have to live this vicariously through you, and that frightens me a little bit, but you can be sure that you and your work is an incredibly valued medium through which I can do so. Each of your films feels like a reset, a switch that goes off in my head putting things into perspective. You put a lot of emphasis on the little things, so you should know that from my perspective, you’re work is one of those “little things” that makes me stop, look around me, and remember how ridiculous it is that I am alive. Also… the music.

[@NGC1433]

How sheltered and isolated from real world one has to be to get a life changing experience by watching somebody else on the screen being afraid to get wet in the rain? Fuck me... I refuse to believe people like you exist.

had a really rough weekend and was looking forward to this all night. really can’t explain how much joy, relief, and comfort your videos bring to my life (and many others, i’m sure) it’s truly an escape and a reminder to live life to the fullest as often as I can, even when things get challenging. I recently moved across the country and am going through quite the identity crisis, but you just remind me to treasure the small moments, appreciate the people in my life, and not take anything for granted. thank you a million times, Natalie, for making me feel alive again, and reminding me that it’s worth it

[@laurafurnissroe]

also love the comment of being out of control - sometimes life catches you way too fucking off guard and you just gotta roll with it, which can sometimes be frustrating, but other times be totally sick :P

[@ibuildstuff]

I found this channel quite recently, and it is just absolutely insane... The storyline, the cinematography, the various camera angles, the incredible color grading, using songs even though they are copyright to improve the viewer experience, the editing style- The pacing of the video is also unmatched with the dramatic pauses in the voiceovers, the montages- its practically perfect, especially if you compare this to most other creators who just overly edit everything and pace their videos absurdly fast to increase viewer retention, while in reality it just makes everything boring. Amazing work!

[@iamBlackGambit]

Yea I like the yellowish dirty color palette she uses, and how does she get those drone angles cause some shots they skating or something and they don't have a controller in their hands so how are they capturing certain shots?

[@hanahbergman]

so glad you were so open about mental health struggles on the road! my best friend and i were just traveling in a van we renovated for about two months, but ended up shortening the trip so she could focus on her mental health in a physically stable environment. i feel like van lifers don’t address this enough so it was so refreshing seeing both good and bad sides of this lifestyle

[@coco3283]

As a lone girl experiencing van life for the first time in New Zealand, I relate a lot to everything you are feeling right now, the excitement and the uncertainty, the freedom and the loneliness... This is a huge challenge that in hindsight we will be proud of, I am sure of that. All the best to you Natalie and thank you for the beautiful images

[@liambirks160]

This is motivational and real. In life it can feel so alone sometimes even when you have so many near. You sometimes have to force yourself out, put yourself into an opportunity to the company of someone else even if they are a stranger. I often live in the world of myself, unsure about the future but this really showed it’s important to grow and experience more, to grow. Thank you!

[@ciananmckinnish1644]

As a another young vehicle dweller... Watching this was amazing. All of the internal reaching, the lack of ever feeling settled, questioning what you're doing, and then the appreciation for the simpler things and the confidence/self certainty that follows, it's a journey. An absolute wild ride. You made me feel less alone in the way that I think. Thank you! Amazing film style :)

[@xylongrey3841]

I think your film has always been a tranquilizer for me, because every time I feel anxious about life, your videos always make me feel relatable and calm. Maybe there's no right answer on the way, which is why the process is so important, isn't it? I think what you mean by "borderless" is like "allowing everything to happen", feeling everything, connecting with the world, everything is an experience, good or bad. Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece, natalie;)💛

This was incredible, that 20 mins flew by. I haven't made the leap yet to live out of my vehicle, but it's something I've wanted to do for years and this is a huge inspiration and push for me to go for it. Even without having had the same on-the-road experiences as you, I still connect with everything you talked about as far as feeling lost and aimless, and how we need to push ourselves out of our comfort zones to grow, and learn to live with less to appreciate the things we do have. Thank you for making this beautifully crafted and authentic film

[@eightbornvclips4608]

I met with your films in 2020 and I didn't have English knowledge etc. and I've been watching some of 'em with subtitles that you turned on and KZbin set automatically. I really really need to thank you. you and some people who makes videos like you made me to learn English and understand whole stuffs that you talk about in your videos. thank you so much. I'm improving myself and I had a dream about traveling the world it's really hard to dream something like that cuz nowadays it's really hard to stop for just one sec and think about something. 3 years ago on this day I sweared to myself to understand your videos etc. and now I can.😊 maybe you didn't mean to do that at all but know that you're still doing really good things for people, even if you don't know. take care.

I empathize you on finding what your end goal really is, I feel kinda the same. Even though in my heart and mind I am on the right path yet after attaining those goals I find myself lost. No matter how clear or linear your goal is, it will not give us a longterm content and we are in a constant state of looking for what we really want in our life. I am grateful to watch your videos, although I knew I'm not the only one who feel lost but it allows me to cope and realize that life will never be a race and it never will. We have our own marathon and we dictate the situation that we find ourselves in, no matter good or bad, we are our own present.

[@wonder_rain_]

I remember feeling much of the same way you did after highschool and even now a lot of the time. Im going to be building out my minivan and traveling this year, but I remembered hearing another really smart van lifer say "no matter where you go in the van, your always going to be there" in a way to say if you think it will take away those parts of yourself that are hard, you bring them with you. But its a beautiful opportunity to grow from that too, and to challenge yourself.

Wow I'm so speechless after watching this entire series. I just turned 18 and I'm from India. I'm actually in med school right now but I've always had this inner urge right since the beginning, as long as I can remember to leave everything behind and seek what my purpose is. I certainly love to travel and explore new places that would include everything even ending up in the middle of nowhere counts. But I also feel sometimes that I'm so stuck with all the responsibilities and studies that I've taken over that I'm never going to experience what Natalie has. I'm so grateful that I got to watch something that I myself want to experience so badly, like I'd die to feel all that she felt. I'm so proud of her for coming this far.

It’s good to count your blessings when you start doubting your choices, there’s always a why did I chose this or what if I did something else.

This have made me feel things I'd never thought Id feel by just watching something. Everything about this is incredibly beautiful, it just pierces right through my heart and soul. I have always been stuck in a city, with loud cars and tall buildings. Many people around me and yet I feel more disconnected than ever... I never expected I would feel this longing just by watching this. I dont even know how to word it, its just feels like the trees are calling me. idk. sounds dumb. but it feels profound and I thank you Natalie for making me feel this way. I think something in my brain was just rewired. Watching your film or the act of it sometimes makes me scared or uncomfortable, just because I know it would make me feel things differently, think things differently and I think that speaks a lot about the sheer quality & thoughts you have all put into this, so once again, thank you.

[@FritzyFreak]

I- I can't believe it... I made it to the end of the video and I'm crying. Wow... I havent cried so long but this vid actually brought me to tears, I felt human for the first time in so long because of this. Even after seeing the hardship they went through, it made me want to experience this more. Im gonna get a job and save up for a old van. This was absolutely beautiful, thanks for giving us this and never stop!

[@ceciliamariafilms3134]

this is best series I’ve watched in my entire life - the way it’s so real, raw, authentic and honest - the unmatched vibes - watching these vids makes me feel free and a little borderless myself. it gives me hope to travel and reconnect with my true self. thank you so much natalie - for years you have been my fav youtuber🌻💛

[@jekicolin8036]

I am so proud of you bro lol. I started watching your videos when I randomly searched up “airport vlog” in 2018 and your airport adventure video was the first to pop up. I decided to watch it and instantly loved the editing and general vibe of it. That was back when you had ~30k subs, and although your editing has always been phenomenal, it’s amazing how you continue to better it throughout the years. I remember the “music that has changed my soul” video or whatever it was called blew up and how your channel started exponentially growing since then. I’m so happy you’re finally getting the recognition you and your videos deserve

[@Hannah-Bellerose]

I love watching y’all’s adventures!! And I understand how hard and frustrating it can be living off grid I’ve been off grid for 5 years living in a camper to living in a cabin without hot water or electricity it can be very difficult and stressful at times but it is worth it at the end of each day, you really start to be thankful for all the little things which most people these days take for granted. Keep up the amazing videos they are beautiful and inspiring. ❤

[@abstractvlog]

This was so beautiful. The shots and editing are amazing, to say the least. It actually brought tears to my eyes. Reminded me of my youth, first loves, a life I almost had. It was all just so beautiful and touching to watch. This is the best thing I've seen on youtube, I'm pretty sure. So pure and heartwarming and inspiring to watch. Thank you.

[@Noffilus]

Thanks to Natalie, I got to see parts of the world that I thought I'd never see. As someone who is kinda forced to live a sedentary life (due to studies and financial stuff), it makes me feel kinda envious yet happy to see her live a life long dream of mine. I hope I'll be able to do the same one day, not only for the experience, but to find out who I really am... So, thank you Natalie for letting us in on this journey, although it feels bittersweet to see it come to an end... Can't wait to see what comes next and may your 2023 bring you even more life-experiences. Much love from little old Belgium :)

[@emmacauwenberghs3361]

Ooh hi, I live in Belgium too :)

[@mdevakaralson2125]

I always love your storytelling - it’s human, and filled with real honest humanity. Traveling is amazing, moving a lot is amazing - but it’s rough. Don’t run from yourself while moving - it catches up and hurts. It forces you to lean who you are, and it is ugly. Thank you for voicing this so well. Keep being an amazing person ❤

[@abox7825]

Love this series. The optimism, glass half full feel to it all, and the youthful energy is stuff that media can often - though obviously not always - forget is also important. Your short films and video series remind me of all the creativity thats out there.

[@schultzydesigns7918]

I have seen your page in my recommended for the past year and never actually clicked on your videos until today. I cried. A lot. Your journey is so meaningful. I'm only a few years older than you so it's not like I know what the fuck I'm talking about, but I am so proud of you for actually committing to the thing you want to do. It feels like there aren't many people out there truly following their dreams and while I am on an entirely different path than you are, your videos still made me feel like my dreams are validated. You seem like such a good human. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world. Thank you Natalie - from, someone who appreciated these videos more than you could know

[@schultzydesigns7918]

btw your filming/editing is actually fucking INSANE and you are absolutely destined for greatness. keep on keepin on Natalie, can't wait to see what life has in store for you

[@ohkaypoh]

So fun to recognize all the places you go to as a Washingtonian. Lived here almost all my life and hardly travelled half of it, would love to do a similar trip like this

[@JRODVISUALS]

I did a trip to Europe this last summer and lived out of a backpack for 5 weeks. I totally relate to the feeling you experienced of confusion about purpose. It's funny how when you take away our work or school or whatever normal people are supposed to do it's really easy to question your purpose. Thanks for sharing Natalie!

[@nastyapoburynna7376]

I cried more than once while watching this movie. I recognized myself in many places, I completely agree that when you have to go to the very depths of yourself, it is not an easy process at all. And I'm glad that it worked out for you and you became borderless! Thank you very much for your work, it is definitely worth it. You inspire and motivate. LIVE. I wish you success in everything you do.

[@gubbinsly]

Currently travelling the world with my family. It’s one of, if not, THE MOST difficult thing I’ve ever done. But it is also the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I aspire to be like you! You’ve inspired me to travel, and explore, and learn! So I’ll be keeping you in my prayers. This will be a life-changing experience. God Bless!

[@dejagerph]

Wow Natalie! What a deep and powerful film you have created! I felt so so connected to every word you said, the color grading, angles, cinematography, everything is just cheff's kiss. Your journey and way of telling your story is so inspiring ♥

[@morkani]

It is simply a masterpiece. The most emotional, expressive video of all the episodes of Borderless. How you put all these pieces of footage together to create such an atmosphere is just incredible. Well, of course, it's worth mentioning the amazing editing and filming. This seems to be the level of editing that will always be an ideal for me when I create my videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us

[@theadventuresofpolyphony8032]

Dude you captured it though, after travelling for months I was watching this like "yep, yep, yeah defiantly", like water and washing your clothes is such a damn treat sometimes! And I defiantly had a few existential crisis' 'cause all we had was our backpacks and our boards and ourselves so it can be like "what am I doing and who even am I?" and like you said we find it really difficult to talk to people especially when you know you're leaving the next day and you've just met someone it can all be kinda exhausting. And also so incredible at the same time. It's a lot to process. Thank you for making these little masterpeices, this gave me life 🌿🚌

[@blndbest8277]

GIRL I'm in love with your videos, every time you make me jealous with your lifestyle no matter if it's depressing to you or not, like ur videos has every single emotions in them it makes you cry laugh jealous happy . thank u for your content.

[@ruchay]

It’s like if Kerouac wrote «The end of the f*** world». Unbelievable you two could actually do this masterpiece together. Great talents!

[@6969SpAcE6969]

Was very happy for you both. You are lucky children. It ain’t just a van. They can truly be magical vehicles that can transport you far away to whole other spaces on the inside. I’ve done 6 years in a van. I left a whole life behind, and it was my last resort at trying life again. Starting fresh. The journey was an undoing, a shedding, and an powerful accelerator for change. When I moved into the van I had nothing but a backpack. Slept on my clothes and didn’t have any mattress for a year, and slowly bit by bit the hole van came together, but for the last 6 years I’ve been riding across a knife edge. Never truly in a comfort zone, but the more I faced the challenges the more I became stronger in what and who I am. I feel like I’ve done life times. It’s like everyone else is just being the same doing the same. I feel like I’ve been travelling the universe. Some of the hardest years of my life, and I’m still struggling, but god oh god I am thankful for being awakened. Truth is my blessing. Van lifers really don’t get enough respect. People have no idea how tough it is. You have to face ego death in many ways in life, but living the vanlife can be extremely humbling. It will challenge everything about you. It’s a hole other thing when you have savings, but much love and respect goes out to my fellow vanlifers who are driving on a razor’s edge.

[@parker_messick]

Wow. As someone who struggles with dissociation, and is a very similar situation. this video hit hard. I often find myself with an endless amount of possibilities and no idea where to go. It’s a beautiful, Terrifying, daunting and freeing feeling. It’s hard to enjoy things sometimes because of how In your head you can get. Remember to try your best to stay present ♥️

[@ievjen8670]

Everything is perfect in this video - music, atmosphere, thoughts, shots, stories, people... I really love this channel. Thanks to the author for such a wonderful emotions. I'm always on the lookout for new videos. It was really awesome!

[@Traveling_Jo]

Your videos are always so inspiring, you show the good the bad and the ugly of your experiences and that's so powerful! thank you for this film!

[@bellapitcher8743]

I truly have no words to describe how much I love these videos. In full honesty I just feel like these videos are like medicine for me. Every time I feel out of place or start to drift, your videos just bring me back. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life right after I saw the very first "episode'' of boarderless, and every time I see a new video I watch it like my life depends on it. I love these and I love you.

[@themonkeymang]

It's not everyday you find someone making content that has heart and soul in it. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@lucus1340]

This video was once again absolutely amazing. This whole series, and your whole channel has inspired me so much. There's life lessons that I re-remember from this series, things I want to start doing but also just enjoy what I'm doing right now. Thank you so much for producing such amazing videos this past year, it makes my day every time

[@JessaJayVlogs]

As a fellow vanlifer - THANK YOU for being so real about what life on the road can actually feel like. People don't realize that traveling constantly can actually lead to a lot of existential crisis... Then on top of that - everyone assumes you're the happiest and most free you've ever been, so there is a new kind of shame that comes along with feeling depressed while on the road.

[@saschadesmit]

I love her honesty, the realness of her short films. It's so inspiring.

[@DLivingston]

Okay, I just watched the last 5 videos this morning at my office job and what an emotional rollercoaster that was. All before 9am... 1. I want to travel so bad but life doesn't allow for it right now. 2. I wish I had this ambition at 18 or whatever right out of high school to just explore but I was such a different person at 18 than I am now at 32. 3. Your subtle and natural story telling is so good, i just want to keep on watching what this trip has in store. Can't wait for the next upload.

[@medbyfio]

one day i saw her comment on a jennxpenn video, and years later, i see how her videos have matured, telling her story so sophisticatedly and beautifully. the colour grading, the sounds, everything. it really is an art form in a league of its own. so proud of you natalie

[@kazur420]

I've traveled through Washington quite a few times throughout life and I found it so difficult to capture its beauty, but you've done it flawlessly. Truly inspiring!

[@GreyHatStudio]

Natalie I stumbled across your videos randomly and have to say you are a breath of fresh air on KZbin. The story telling, music, editing, and cinematography are awesome! You are real and raw. Keep up the great work!:)

[@onlyimaginaryy]

Natalie, I cannot express how much you have inspired me. I’ve been following this journey, and I am so grateful to have watched these videos as I prepare to go on journeys myself. ❤❤

[@yuki.yahiro]

Vale a pena esperar meses para ver esses vídeos! Natalie a sua forma de fazer vídeos é diferente, não são só vídeos, são histórias, momentos, sentimentos e significados. Sem palavras para tudo isso, é tão lindo e inspirador

[@mantas3852]

As someone who lives in a small country and just try to mind my own business watching this just reminds how big world is. Makes me want to experience even just a fraction of things you guys do!

[@kengelina]

I love your insight and your editing style - your videos are ethereal and somehow cosy too. So glad to see vanlife has shaken you up in all the right ways

[@hudakuzai804]

the amount of soul, heart and humanity put in this is so real, the cinematography is so beautiful it's unremarkable sent shivers down my spine, truly loved watching this.

[@butterllee]

you wouldn’t believe how much my aspects on life have changed ever since i started watching your films. i’m genuinely so glad i found you, natalie. ❤️

[@maristeenkamp1687]

Its unreal how good you are at this Natalie. I genuinely LOVE your videos and the story telling is unreal. Thank you, always
