I had to leave

[@susanstebila8707]

Being retired I get bored and I got a drone and that was fun but the most satisfying thing I found is playing classical guitar. It really takes my mind out of politics and just brings me to a beautiful place so that’s what I’m doing these days.

[@macaroon147]

Yeah playing an instrument is the most accessible therapy

[@mansoor3159]

Alyssa your videos are really really a therapy for me and I am so so glad that I've Found your KZbin Channel and I will always be your biggest supportive♥️♥️🥹

[@AlyssaVanilla]

Mansoor you are the best fr

[@V-nusventures]

Love the way you are taking on new challenges and exposing yourself to new adventures! Sending good vibes and best wishes ☮️

[@samuelvera9449]

You express a beautiful personality in your videos, love watching.

[@lavonnepruitt3905]

Happy Saturday, Alyssa! Thanks for taking us on your journey while you’re traveling in your home on wheels! May you continue to receive an abundance of blessings!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@alex06668]

This is beautiful… thank you for taking us on the hike with you!

[@l.g.4451]

"I guess I'll just be frozen"...You're too funny Alyssa! Your face and smile says it all, you're in a blissful state. That makes your viewers so, so HAPPY! I love that you're loving life and sharing your joy with us. thank you.

[@mrbradford4935]

Really love your journey Alyssa. Sometimes when I have a super busy day, I watch one of your videos and take in the beauty and calmness of wherever you are. No matter where you are in the world, there are alot of people who truly care about you and love that you take us on this journey with you. Much love and respect from Canada my friend. 🙏💞

[@shellmac9191]

So happy your making videos again and that your doing better. ❤

[@bencinnamon]

KZbinrs and teachers actually have a LOT of overlap imo. Your content has taught me so much for the past few years dude. Thanks

[@blackcherry6877]

Its a thin line. Some channels like this one are great, clean and informative and others are not. My child can start a KZbin when he gets older if KZbin even exists and he can do it while being a doctor like his father.

[@CuddlesNCassy]

What does that have to do with the video weirdo? 😂 Wow she met a teacher. That's it. Why would you say they have stuff in common when you don't know these people? Jeffrey Dahmer vibes psychopath 😂🤡

[@CuddlesNCassy]

​​@@blackcherry6877if their job let them post content! Duh from one mother to the other, why would you even let your son be on KZbin when social media is the gateway to hell? You should be protecting your child as a mother. Wtf? This is why Gen-Z have brain rot. Cause of shi++y parents like yourself. And to make money off of your child is disgusting! CPS needs to be called. Every KZbin has an email. You better hope people don't look you up ho

[@kaymerritt3694]

I always wear my wrapped up towel on my head on the way back to the car from the hot springs. Amazingly it keeps your body heat in so well!

[@carolwest6095]

Yes, life can change on a dime, 🌅 and I'm glad it's for the good right now❤

[@jordanhighsmith9363]

I love watching her journey and going to different camp sites also I was intrigued by the Bluetti backpack 🎒 she had

[@Beanbugging]

So exciting having you post more. Love your videos Alyssa! ❤

[@cfar6256]

Las Cruces offers the Organ Mountains National Monument...free camping... just have to move every 2 weeks. Camp sites are just 15 minutes from town. Lots of hiking trails and tons of sun!

[@n3cKb0nZ]

Thanks Alyssa. I’m so glad you’re back 😊

[@AlyssaVanilla]

Happy to be back!

[@southwestholerida1817]

​@@AlyssaVanillayour amazing 😍

[@alessandrosoutock6170]

moorning Alyssa, you are amazing, florida has the perfect weather on winter little be cold and amazing in south beach girl! I hope you enjoy your next adventure wishing you safe travels!

[@maggiemae1969]

New Mexico! It might be a little cooler than Arizona, but a lot of interesting places to visit. City of Rocks State Park, Rockhound State Park, both near Deming. Bosque Del Apache has amazing birds snow geese and sandhill cranes. Three Rivers Petroglyphs and Oliver Lee State Park near Alamogordo. Valley of Fires lava flow north of Carrizozo. And southeast Arizona around Portal is beautiful. Cave Creek Outside of Portal is an awesome area to explore.

[@jamesesslinger1976]

Those mountains were beautiful!

[@alicematthews4213]

Glad to see you back l missed you ❤❤❤

[@raquelprado8527]

I enjoy watching your videos, be safe out there love.God Bless 😌🙏🏽❤️

[@Donley76]

IMO, New Mexico is the most beautiful state. Such diverse landscapes and the best food. Love it.

[@SirManfly]

And I'm stuck in the "great" white north in a few feet of snow !!

[@NachoMaMe]

Food? Lol…I’ll have to disagree on that. I live in Tucson and we have the best food in this region.

[@jaysan2856]

You must live in a rich part of New Mexico, New Mexico have the highest crime rate in the US per capita

[@nomaderic]

​@jaysan2856 I travel all over and out of all the states, new mexico has some of the nicest ppl. Don't participate in that stuff and most likely that stuff will never come to you

[@keneg2406]

You’re unique! Don’t know what your ethnicity is but it’s a combination of all the good stuff, no doubt. You got it all, in all the right proportions. That along with your unique and soothing voice make you the most underrated van-lifer in the history of KZbin!!

[@LogicalWonderz]

Agree. She is Awesometastic. Wondertastic nomad, van-lifer, KZbin. ❤❤❤

[@SlimyLotusKing]

I'm a gen Xer and she reminds me of Downtown Julie Brown from MTV, I mean just the way she looks. If you don't know who she is, she might be a bit b4 your time - ??

[@kellz4316]

I feel like we are so much alike. I’m separated too so I understand the waves of emotions and learning to move forward ❤

[@ToyHaunterAdventures]

Bay Area Van Life here in my 87 Westfalia and I too just found my bedtime sleeping routine with the PJ’s and bedding. Definitely gonna be an interesting winter with the rain and snow forecasted to come🙈🤣

[@goldgodryukendo913x]

yeah the cold really sucks. I work in it in buffalo. you're looking happy lately. so its all good.

[@q.doneit]

The great thing about my experience as a truck driver is I can anticipate most of your sentiments.

[@Silver_Bach]

Thanks for taking us on your journeys!

[@BJ-dv7dk]

Glad to see you back!

[@__MariNic]

I enjoy your content, I love your view of life and the world around you. I aspire to be like you. You give us people who feel like we are tied to a 9-5 a look of what we could be doing and enjoying life! safe travels and cant wait till the next video

[@TheSmallsRVAdventures]

It’s getting cold. 16 degrees is chilly. Those heaters come in clutch I tell you. Hot springs are amazing. I’ve passed by them but never got in. It’s always nice to get tips on how to stay warm. Thanks for sharing. Stay warm. ~Ricky

[@rubiconadventurewithscotty3258]

PS - just N of Tucson outside Florence, AZ is a series of mines, trails, waterfalls where large colorful rocks/gem are easily found. Plenty of open camping too before the Reymert mine

[@philonline247]

Peace! That backpack is everything. looks like there's straps for a tent and sleeping bag as well. Happy Saturday

[@rubiconadventurewithscotty3258]

Saline Hot Springs in Death Valley won't drop below freezing except barely in Jan and has 6 hot spring/tub sites, a vault toilet and fantastic hikes and scenery yet is almost vacant. I find it serene and refreshing

[@ScottCorriea-gm7mx]

The Desert in the winter can be a bit challenging for sure. I'm just below Yosemite about 30 miles. Always still manageable year round. Good luck on your journey

[@ledart]

good job! have a nice trip!🚗 Thank you LARA!:))💻🎮

[@MelchizedekRemnent1]

Middle Texas this time of year is best where I am is cool but in the 60s in the daytime.

[@elizabethtraynham6840]

Love your videos, especially when you’re out hiking! It reminds me of when I lived out West I’m not sure how you feel about being close to the beach, but Eastern Texas has some beautiful sites around the Gulf of Mexico. Also, around the outskirts of Las Vegas (where I used to live), there are some great places to camp close to Red Rock, Mt. Charleston, and Henderson that don’t get too chilly this time of year. Safe travels!

[@judithmata9867]

Love your videos…new to your channel… Thanks for sharing them with us…

[@fredkuglin9717]

Life is awsome, never quit. Words to live by.....🙂

[@tonysantos9330]

Vegas! You would love Red Rocks National Park. Great hiking.

[@tishreni5183]

My sister came to visit me in LA and we went there.The rocks are scary and you can twist your ankle.Shes in better shape than me and she was damn near drained..she didn't even complete it.

[@LogicalWonderz]

Guud Morning. Wishing you safe travels prosperity and Blessings. May you feel and get better very soon. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

[@FrancisCarayol]

Hi Alyssa, I live in southern New Mexico and highly recommend it! The weather here has been awesome, with daytime highs mostly in the upper 60s. It does get chilly at night, dropping into the 30s. We have several beautiful state parks, like Pancho Villa and Rockhound, as well as plenty of public land if you prefer to park away from the parks and enjoy some solitude.

[@AlyssaVanilla]

I used to live in New Mexico, definitely want to explore more

[@FrancisCarayol]

@AlyssaVanilla It is a beautiful state with a lot to see. I moved here from the east and do not regret it.

[@spiritWaters]

GOD BLESS you 🙏 Alyssa. Just to let you know that there was a young youtuber found dead. Don't camp where there's no other campers and also when you feel that you being watched sleep in your camp car and also put more clothe on your attracting them predators. Hide your body. Do not go to the hot springs alone. Don't go away from your home town Arizona stay there there is danger for you out of Arizona. God bless stay safe 🙏. Spirit waters.

[@BLUE-v8h6e]

Blessings 🙏. I love watching your videos, looking great. My favorite KZbinr. God blessings always

[@davidbaron6647]

Greetings from San Antonio Texas, wishing you a beautiful and safe holiday 😊

[@EliseJohns-e6j]

That is a beautiful place.I wish I was there with you ,as a friend, protector and confidant.

[@AlyssaVanilla]

would love that

[@joycegiasson5219]

There was another van person and they said by keeping warm they got a small heating pad that didn’t take up too much charge and another idea was one of them chicken heaters. They don’t use up too much electricity.

[@saanvikataria3665]

love you and your adventures!! good luck with finding a place to stay this winter and keep staying healthy and happy! 🥰

[@brendalee1265]

I Love when you post videos.❤

[@zeediamondsimon4342]

Those mountains you showed in the beginning were absolutely awesome 👏🏽

[@Lisannette77]

Oohhhhh girl, that hike up Tumamoc is not easy, especially during summer! I'm from here, born and raised in Tucson. My very first attempt up that hill was a fail 😏☺️

[@AlyssaVanilla]

I sometimes have to walk backwards because my calves burn so bad 😭

[@kaitlyn_resonant_wizard_6867]

Along the Gulf(tx) is a really great option for winter. Still get some cold snaps here and there but not as bad as everywhere else.

[@TravellingTrav1025]

Since you're leaving the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountains and heading south. Head down to the Palm Springs Salton Sea area. There's a place called Anza Borrego state park in the desert. Lots of free dispersed camping in the area

[@TheMovieSavant]

Florida is great place for camping and for RV's. I also think in a lot of instances, Florida is essentially built for van life.

[@kaymerritt3694]

Can't wait to head south in January myself!

[@randall6890]

Hi Alysa, you inspired me to buy a Promaster and get outdoors!

[@DionnesGlampingJourneyy]

Great video I’ve never been to New Mexico have to put that on my list 😊

[@keneg2406]

As long as you have those eyes and a little lip gloss, you’re perfect!

[@paizleymoon5786]

I am soooooo happy to see this video, WELCOME BACK GIIIIRRRRLLLL🌻💜

[@zeesoutdoors65]

Baja would be nice in winter.Safe travels.

[@tkkeating]

There's a place that a lot of people use and it's about 5 miles from I17 it's located at Hwy 74 and N Lake Pleasant Pkwy. There's a new gas station it's either a Circle K or Quicktrip on the corner. There's a small camp site on New River Rd that has a few individual camp sites, not sure if overnight is allowed at that location but the open field near the gas station there are plent of people camping there. Good Luck.

[@carriebrady4120]

Thank you for taking us with you, on these beautiful adventures ❤️ 💕 You don't need makeup, your beautiful ❤

[@Maryisthegoldengirl]

Safe travels...always love your videos!

[@maskwatcher3361]

Ashley your adventures video got me aspiring a lot and I love watching it every time and I hope you make it through the day like I outside I might catch up on that hot spring later on and I hope I might see you and maybe chat with you someday

[@jeremynkelley]

YEP!!!! I agree,, the best thing about life on the road is you stop ANYwhere and can take a nap or whatever. Just being home at all times, can’t beat it. One year of my vanlife years was actually in Chicago. City vanlife is something else 😎🙌🏼 I’d be a restaurant or the symphony or wherever and my home is literally 20 feet away.

[@jeybae8514]

when you film in Arizona in your car you can see all the particles flying around you.. that's what's giving you the headaches and allergies including the heat.

[@dbcooper692]

It looks like you are in the Eastern Sierras. I have done a lot of camping and fishing there!!

[@lesliefarrand7305]

Im so so glad your back . I missed you 💕

[@norawilcox9734]

I’m from Tucson, Arizona. I miss it so much.

That was the most beautiful shot of sriracha I’ve ever seen

[@rc6888]

Siracha might sponsor you for that😂😊

[@Charlieray69]

Literally frozen stiff! I recently started car camping life travelling in Australia,power stations are awesome 👌 and truck stops here charge like $5 for a good shower 🙏 Another great video Alyssa stay beautiful & look forward to seeing your next video ❤

[@RottyDad824]

my best recommendation is around Tucson where the weather has been * really * nice lately, but you are already here and leaving (been here and already left) so I am of no help.

[@Kalecabbage35]

You should go to Wyoming and drive along The Tetons! It will change your life! We usually go end of September and most of the tourists are gone by then and the weather is still pretty decent.

[@jessicapower8585]

Wow those mountains ❤❤❤

[@puglady6350]

Beautiful sounds of nature surrounding you.

[@susanstebila8707]

Good to see u again🙋‍♀️ I haven’t traveled in a while not since the summer. I usually spend my time in California Oceanside or Newport Beach area but it’s just nice to be back in my apartment that I love anyway I had a lot of interesting experiences. I like living in a car much better than anything else because you’re free to camp wherever you want. I have a really nice SUV Toyota Sequoia and it’s like a sailboat in there with a scooter and I don’t know cool equipment. I like the zero gold 700. It has a lightning charge and it’s good for like three days anyway have fun. Maybe I’ll bump into you on the road🌎Happy Trails ☝️♥️♥️♥️I also live in Tucson

[@IzzyRosado]

Come to Florida close to NSB or Daytona it warmer here

[@darioiszard9824]

Hey Alyssa, I love your videos, they always look so relaxing and I saw some of the places you went too I got a chance to see some places I haven't been too before and I loved it, your so very Beautiful and a pleasure to watch ❤ Please be safe on your journeys ❤

Have you tried Magnesium glycinate for your migraines? Do not use the oxide version cause it will give you the runs. Dosage 400mg at night before bed.

[@tylersadler3147]

Washington state it's not "warm" per se. Yet I am here, and I am adorable!! (Lol), and you do not want to miss a personal tour guide and "heartthrob of the PNW."" LOL!! Well, what I lack in looks, I more than make up in humor and some pretty decent cooking skills. Plus I would love to hear about your thoughts and opinions on your nomadic lifestyle Wherever you do go, please be safe, travel safe, and remember to stop relax and poke your head up every once in a while so you don't miss any of your fantastic life Love Tyler 🎉😊
