You will find someone! To give you hugs and love. You have so much going for you! Find yourself again! And someone will find you! ❤

[@SarahKeetley]

Love that we are seeing your smile again! Xo

[@YoGalTimz]

What’s yours will find you! Loved watching, take it easy and enjoy what’s in front of you…freedom ❤

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh I love that ♥️🙏🏼

[@Ribastein]

Absolutely good idea to get away and clear your mind after the breakup....I did Norway , France and Switzerland after my last breakup. It really helped reboot myself.

[@rmtimmah]

As someone who has recently gone through a break up like you, you are an inspiration. The daunting thought of travelling and adventuring out alone is one I'm battling with myself. All your words in your latest videos are my thoughts that I'm scared to say out loud. Keep strong Phoebe and I can't wait to see more stories from you. 😃

[@daveb5374]

You channel has now changed , its more introspective - things we all deal with. I like it , it feels fresh, honest and great 😍

[@travelforphoebe]

That means so much, thank you 🙏🏼🥰

[@kylemills6785]

Phoebe I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your videos, your adventures, and you continuing to be yourself and discovering more about yourself. Even though you have had some hard times you still find ways to make yourself laugh and find ways to find peace and happiness in the little things. Today is a hard day, it marks 5 years since my mom passed away. Every year on this day I pick up the necklace that has her ashes in it and allow myself to remember and grieve. However, your video today made me laugh and smile. It's all because of you that I start off today with a little bit of joy. For that, I thank you. Much love ❤

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you, Kyle - sending you and your beautiful mum peace and happiness. Sounds like she was a very loved woman and a cherished mum :)

[@jerrysadlon5097]

If u want good company, bring your favourite fur baby with you. At the moment u need peace and solitude for yourself, also look around where you are. Just take it all in. Enjoy your company 😊

[@oswaldboelcke5470]

You can do it. The videos are good.

[@joee1976]

Keep going girl. Life comes in many chapters, its all beautiful. Btw, killing it on you edits :)

[@travelforphoebe]

oh my gosh, THANK YOU! i'm really starting to find my feet with my editing style. The process is helping me find myself in a weird way!

[@94vrcommodore]

Good to see you starting your next adventures. I’ve been traveling solo for a long time and used to it. Only downside of traveling solo is you get used to it and struggle to travel with friends, family or your next love.

[@travelforphoebe]

'your next love,' gosh that is a very inspiring way to put that!

[@juliepearce2222]

You are on a new journey of discovering yourself. Take time to heal and you are doing a good thing by taking a trip on your own. Be positive and life will open up new adventures. My husband and I are embarking on a big trip around Australia in our caravan. We are in our 70s now and it is going to be a great adventure especially for as I am a real home body, I decicided to do this after I had a mini stroke , I am feeling really positive that I can do it. Cheers Julie

[@tkeooudom]

Yes, that's right. You have us, your viewers/subscribers to share all of adventures with 😊. I feel like I'm living my travel adventures through you 😂. Love your videos. Not that I always prefer being alone but solo trips is probably best way to get a mental/emotional reset. I really appreciate your openness about you highs and lows. Your strength and bravery really inspires me. ❤

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh thank you sooooo much 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@miafia7371]

Oh Phoebe, you are really challenging yourself!! I don´t know you personaly, but I´m so proud of you! That feeling of feeling lonely is not dangerous, you are growing inside!! I love the book you read from and I´ll se if I can find it here in Sweden. Go girl, you are doing fantastic! Take care from granny Mia in Sweden. 🧡

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh... saying your proud of me just sent my heart into overdrive! THANK YOU granny Mia xxx

[@robertmagillold]

Perfect! That’s the first thought I had when you revealed your surprise. What a perfect-absolutely perfect-trip to take. Scary? Yup. Intimidating? You betcha. Uncomfortable? Absolutely. And that’s why it’s perfect! Great way to see your new home. Great way to rebuild your confidence. * Keep doing the quick “coming up” shots. Great way to tease our interest in the coming video. * By doing what scares you, you conquer it, and it’s scary no more. You control it. * Great mix of video with narration. Gotta say, just showing your drive really shows how beautiful NQL is-wow. I actually love long distance driving (as long as there aren’t cats crying in the back seat 😂), so those images make me jealous. * As a fellow introvert, I know your true moment of bravery is taking that deep breath, opening the door, and stepping outside. And *look* what you saw!! What an incredible spot!! * I like when you show the signage of where you are. Gives us a chance to pause and read them. A way for us to join with you. * The Josephine Falls are some of the most beautiful images you’ve ever recorded. Seriously, well done. * Shout out back at your parents! We’ve seen what they mean to our friend and we can’t help but love them back. * “That thing can and will kill you. Let’s go say hello!” 😂 * Said it in another post and it will forever be true: there’s something magic about a beach. * It was just after 6 am when I was first watching and I almost woke up the house laughing when your camera flipped over. 😂 * The waves of loneliness, I’m sorry to say, will keep coming from time to time. They’ll eventually slow and be further apart. Trick is to find those next moments (like the morning at the beach) when you realize, as you did, “everything’s gonna be okay.” * Spectacular video of you in front of the sunrise. Didn’t get a GMYG, but you let the images say that for us-good way to do it. Love how the camera’s focus is not on you, but you and the sun are what draw in the viewer. Again, your video style is really coming out and it is fantastic. * Don’t know if I’ve mentioned before, big fan of the music you use and how you integrate it into your editing. That’s gotta take a lot of work to get the timing down. Great job! * Yeah, I still see words that seem to be speaking to the pain that you take out of context. After a time, I’ve learned to smile at those words and take their power away from them. “Drifting alone.” No, you’re not. You’re not drifting. You’re taking control. And you found your Magic and Sparkle-we can see it. * The best (& most frustrating part) of a road trip is when the navigation fails and you end up…well, damn. Reset and go again tomorrow! * My Mom’s over 70 and I’m still terrified of her. I’ll tell your Mom if you need, but only because I’m on the other side of the world-am I far enough away to be safe? 😜 * Told you that you’ve got this! You can back in that beast, you can do anything! * Thank you for sharing that book passage. I know how much those words meant to you-because I watched that segment many times. I wish I had read those words in 2010 when I experienced my loss. Keep those words close to your heart and soul, Phoebe. Listen to them. It’s truth. * I’ve rewatched a lot of your videos from the past. They’re fantastic and focus on your journey. What to see, do, and eat, so we can do the same. But now your journey isn’t just to places, it’s within. And just wanted to say thank you for sharing. You say we mean a lot to you in these comments. But you mean a lot to us, too. * Homemade comfort food-the best. * Looking forward to next week’s journey. Not just where you are going in Australia, but also within your heart. I agree, staying local is the best plan. Rebuild your confidence, rebuild your heart. We’ll be with you all the way. Rob (I know my reviews are kinda long…if they’re too long lemme know…I just like sharing my reactions and support with ya)

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha so glad you spotted that camera flip and the 'drifting alone' bit haha I love knowing that I'm layering all these little things into the videos and you're spotting them! Feels like they aren't going to waste :) Thank you! It's very validating so NO do not stop the long reaction comments, they're awesome! It's honestly so nice to see all the hours of hard work reflected back in your comment and know that it's all worth it! Keeps me inspired to spot new things and try new things too.

[@Onewithsource888]

😯 What! free sauce, noo free sauce. Phoebe dont feel lonely it's awesome to feel @ peace & one with nature. Your never alone when you become one with all.

[@philld2576]

I’m Looking forward to hearing about your travels adventures as a stronger independent woman who’s taken us alongside here cannot wait 😀

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh 🥹 that is so very lovely of you. Thank you 🙏🏼🥰

[@philld2576]

Life is yours now phoebe enjoy those moments that your making because there yours memories now… try and not reflect on the old time I know it’s hard sometimes but your soul will always support you plus Guide…. so until next time phoebe take care and feel the warmth of the sun on your face a take deep breath and your be ok 🙏🫶

[@BrisbaneChannel]

Being brave is not about not being terrified, it's about being terrified but still continuing. You manage filming yourself really well, if it was my first time watching one of your videos, I'd have thought this was the way you'd always worked. Impressive adaptabiity, even without all the emotional side of things to deal with along the way! Only got five minutes in, 'cause life, but will be sure to come back and watch the rest tomorrow. To be honest, I had subscribed ages ago, probably years, but never really connected with your channel until your brave turning point videos, and since you've let us all in at such a personal level, that kinda changed the way I see the videos, and now I feel invested in your journey. Plus it's good to learn from someone who's making this KZbin thing work for them successfully! But at this point, I enjoy watching 'cause I'm just rooting for you and hoping to see great things ahead. Best of luck!

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh thank you so very much ♥️ I’ve always found it hard to open up and let people in so this whole thing is really overwhelming and scary but im finding a lot of self-love in the acceptance and kindness of this amazing community. It’s life changing.

[@apichartaonsoi4851]

Actually, everyone like traveling or looking around, even myself, but with some limitations on work and different condition everyone can not travel as want. Each journey will give us so many useful things and different mixed feelings ; overwhelming, amazing, impressive and, some time, scary and so quiet, but in fact those we touch are the most valuable thing and resulting powerful mind in life. This is real life experiences and freedom and independent life. If I have opportunity and free time, I will start traveling in every Conner of the world. Hope you enjoy your traveling …❤❤❤

[@BrisbaneChannel]

@@travelforphoebe Great to hear!

[@kiwilisaoutandabout1320]

Solo road trips are the best, all the freedom to do what you want on your own time table, enjoy your new adventures

[@carolynboston9715]

I can a hundred per cent relate to what you're going through. I also went on a solo trip after a major breakup and I've had many moments where I thought it would have been great to share those moments with someone and have someone to cuddle, etc. But that was many many years ago! I'm in such a better place now, and I'm sure you will too, someday. It takes time, there's no shortcut. But, you'll eventually get there.

[@travelforphoebe]

that is so incredibly reassuring, Carolyn. THANK YOU!

[@onelife2live894]

As someone who has just gone through a similar marriage break up to yourself it is inspiring to see you putting yourself out there publicly. That takes alot of courage. Keep at it as you truly are magic. As I say get busy livin or get busy dyin... You are doing just that!!! Keep on keeping on!

[@Andy_M986]

Wow, didn't think I would see this ,but that's how the universe works. Good on you for taking that leap, you're a star, you can do it.

[@peterm5848]

Great to see you adventuring again - looking forward to more!

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you SO much :)

[@ingridnh1]

Glad you are getting out and exploring your new “hood”! It’s breathtaking and inspiring! Bravery is going out into the unknown and navigating it even though you might be fearful. You are doing that…BRAVE!! There will be good days and bad days, good moments and bad moments but you will navigate those too! Your Mom’s van is awesome! I am sure she will forgive you for the little mishap.😅 Keep doing things that make you feel hopeful and inspired!❤

[@travelforphoebe]

I love that, Ingrid! That sums it up so well :) haha mum was very mad! Thankfully she has a quick, fiery temper that calms down just as fast as it flares up (Aries!) Bless her! Thank you for watching xx

[@tomtknox]

You don't know it, but you have been with me for 2 yrs, and inspired me and softened the pain I am in. You are in the same place, it's so tough and I feel for you. I have just ordered the book, hoping it may help me. If I could come and find you right now I would, to give you a big hug. Best wishes, sending you love and good energy ❤

[@zobemi]

I'm definitely here for introvert time! Go Phoebe!!! 💚

[@vkittu1989]

Glad to see you smile, Phoebe. Good luck

[@kandtay90]

Bahaha "I think I let the mosquito bite me for company". That was brilliant! My heart goes out to you, I have been where you are and it does get easier. Just be gentle on yourself! My solo van trips were the best thing ever and it really helps build confidence. I am doing Brisbane to Cairns with my son in August for his 10th bday, 14 days on the road, can't wait! Thanks for some suggestions! Take care of yourself 😊

[@shirleysze5412]

Pretty Phoebe is back! I am so happy for you !❤

[@sujjyn]

Look you conquering the self drive. There is something about the quietness just to cleanse the soul. It’s just another step forward even even if you need to pause for a moment. I’m so glad to actually been to everywhere you did. The falls are awesome. I’m soo missing being up there.

[@travelforphoebe]

Yessss I agree - so cleansing for the soul!!!

[@liamryan8126]

Having places to explore and admire the simple things I find is always best way to unwind through difficult times. I moved to Canada from the UK last year and before I left just happened to have a traumatic work situation. I still have days where I fixate on the negatives, but every day I spend seeing/experiencing new things reminds me there's plenty of better things ahead and I'm sure you will find that too. Hope you make the best of coming adventures and have better luck chasing waterfalls. I'm having that issue too, being deprived of seeing them, mainly because the ones here are still frozen!!

[@Lady-In-Red159]

way did you chose Cnada whas it beacus of a nother jobb, how are Canda for you now..I follow a travel canda cupel on youtube the live in Halifax. Travel& Anna the are werey sincer. Wish you good luck IN your new contry and home💛🍀

[@randysantos10]

Good to see those smiles again. 🙂

[@travelforphoebe]

haha it feels amazing when those moments of goodness flow again!

[@alanchan1183]

As always, another great vlog. Lots of little gems along the way even though you missed the falls. Some moments are meant to be savoured alone and others are meant to be shared. As difficult as it might seem now, when the time is right you will find someone to share those moments. In the meantime, there are tens of thousands with you watching you break drawers 😂 Take care and love yourself.

[@yoga7788]

Another great video nobody does it better than you. Always interesting things to see. Again you do the best commentary of all. Thank you see you on the next one.

[@aussiegirl7145]

Just know that what your going through is the death of the old and the birth of the new. You will get through it and be happy again. I think it's great that you are taking this time to heal. Just watchout for the Crocs.

[@tireeroach]

Looking forward to seeing more adventures. So glad you are travelling in your home area. Each new day brings a new leaf on life and shapes who you will become.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so so much 🥰🥰🥰

[@cateycate7238]

So happy you went to Etty Bay! It’s one of my favourite places in this entire world, so calm and serene (gotta watch those cassowaries tho). Loving your vlogs, and the way you push yourself out of your comfort zone is truly inspirational 🌺

[@brandonjames6266]

Love these video's, it's great to finally have a great Australian vlogger and showing how beautiful our country is.

[@FoodieTownCA]

I am so self-conscious about vlogging and filming in my city but if I leave my city I am so confident and open. It is strange. I'm not sure why but our home town is a weak spot for us too. That van is stellar! I am so excited for you!

[@travelforphoebe]

YES! If I’m anywhere else in the world I’ve got the camera up, I’m taking photos, I’m full content mode 😂 but at home… 😩 thank you so much for the van love ♥️

[@ragsoh]

Hi Phoebe. Thanks for bringing us on your trip and a lot of people are rooting for you. Wishing you all the best. Love from Singapore!

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much Roger Rabbit :D

[@teamatheavenscent1863]

Onwards and upwards the new journey begins. Your so beautiful I wish you nothing but happiness!

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much 🥹 that is so kind

[@thecluelessconquest]

So proud of you for getting out of your comfort zone & embracing everything life is throwing at you 💕 Always feel like im watching a friend when i watch your vlogs x

[@thecluelessconquest]

also crying at the page you read, so beautiful

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you soooo much, Teagan :) I'm so glad you feel that way! Makes it a lot less weird that I feel like I'm talking to friends when I talk to the camera... alone... haha I know, that book is just magic. It's such good stuff! Every time I start to feel overwhelmed or worried, I think of her words, 'It's going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It doesn't matter. You'll find a new comfort zone.'

[@caseydargusch]

Much love Phoebe ❤ you are doing amazing. Just take it day by day, and let yourself have those down moments. It’s part of the healing and learning process. You’ve got this!!!!

[@LR13-s7h]

Love this for you Phoebe - omg I need to discover more of our state in a van 🙌🏽

[@MosierASMR]

That's pretty cool that you are or did a solo road trip. Pretty nice van! You're channel is really awesome and like the one stop travel guide for Australia and other places. Your videos helped me figure out things to do in Gold Coast and Brisbane. I am more excited more than ever! This is a solo trip for me as well. My brother is joining me on the second week of my trip. Hopefully the weather says good as I see rain in the forecast. Will plan my days accordingly to the weather.

[@guyrandom8518]

I looove Etty Bay, it’s such a quiet little hidden gem. Stay strong and just do your thing

[@travelforphoebe]

I will be going back there for sure - I’m in love with it. I’ll definitely do the overnight stay again cos having the sunset and sunrise there was magical ✨🥰 it’s my fav place I’ve been to in the region so far!! Let me know if you’ve got any other must visit spots for me okay

[@guyrandom8518]

Try heading up the mountain to lake Eacham and lake Tinaroo. Oh and when you are ready for off road head out to Chillagoe and check out the caves and “locals only” spots like fisherman’s bend (ask a local for those directions 😉) it’s truly a magical experience.

[@mgoldberg777]

Keep going Phoebe, your so brave doing this road trip on your own with this huge van 😊.. seeing you explore and doing things for yourself helps me remind me that I should stop being always there at service for others ..it's scary because it means you have to change so many old habits. I'm also a introvert and this seems something so amazing to do and be in the nature, remember your not alone, i am always following you and how you are.. although it's online, just remember i support you. Have an awesome week!

[@sophieaggett1306]

You're awesome Phoebe ❤ Love your channel...keep strong, keep going ❤

[@mylahbarreto5265]

How funnn!! That’s amazingly brave, Phoebe!!

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you Mylah!!! Glad you think so :)

[@kashinglee7495]

Good feeling always from inside, outside is an additive on top. So glad you keep yourself going without stucked in the past.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you I really appreciate that 🙏🏼 working on it bit by bit

[@266sunil]

Glad to see you moving forward and doing what you love. Enjoyed the video and loved the caravan. Best wishes from Bombay

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks so much! ♥️🙏🏼

[@zoepoulsen6215]

Many thanks for sharing your explorations locally... I enjoyed this so much and am super excited for the next episode. In 2018, after attending a conference in Brisbane, I flew up to Cairns and took a whistle-stop solo trip in a hired old budget campervan to the Daintree and north to Cooktown. It was a very brief trip because the university had booked my tickets in and out of Australia, but I loved every minute. Thanks so much for taking us along and showing me all the places I should add to my list for a future tropical north Queensland road trip.

[@travelforphoebe]

That sounds like an awesome adventure!! I love those kinds of travel memories 🥰🙏🏼

[@zoeyzuma1477]

I love the editing Phoebe and you are doing slow amazing ❤ sending lots of love and squeezes 😊you'll find someone in time but now you are enough for you always have been 🌻

[@Xx10_01xXyz]

Awesome! The best video ever seen from your blog❤❤❤

[@melb4161]

Oh Phoebe... look after yourself! Been watching this channel off and on since coming across a Cambodia video of yours in 2018. Heartbreaking to watch what you're going through - keep at it, it will get better. Please get a healthy meal in you - it might make you feel more upbeat! Hope you start to feel less lonely soon. xx

[@travelforphoebe]

Wow you've been watching for a loooong time love! Thank you for sticking with me :)

[@mariasli3282]

A soul healing van❤

[@lousmith5453]

Ohhhh now I need to come do a tour to see Etty bay and a Cassowarie 😮 You do have us, and thank your parents for the van because now I want to do an Aussie Roady in a van 😊 I was stoked to see you haven't given up on driving..... much better without the crying cat 😅😂

[@burtonkoek663]

Great to see You moving forward

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you :) One step at a time!

[@jasonlavere5071]

The challenges of Van Life. Everything seems to take twice as long as expected, the roads always end up being dirt, and I'm not sure Google really know where I'm going either. I feel your pain!

[@travelforphoebe]

ahahahah this is SO spot on! I love the pace of it, it's so much more relaxed :)

[@berylperyl5649]

Beautiful scenery, beautiful filming, can’t wait for next weeks episode! 🥰

[@billtimms6537]

Hi phoebe, some spectacular scenery to start your trip, you are looking better already for sure ,take care on on those roads and please stay safe out there. X

[@maheshvarma4803]

You’re so inspirational!

[@artbarrett469]

So proud of you. Your on a different path and its uncofortable but unfortunately Necessary.. I look forward to you writing your book next year if you so desire. Telling your relationship story will be HUGE, Especially here in the U.S. Kaye and I have a very challanging and at times difficult long distance relationship and im working on being a relationship coach at 55. Hearing your story will be so Amazing and we do a dis-service to those who come behind us if we don't share it. She flew here last year, and i am coming to brisbane and sunny coast in july 2023 and We are both huge fans of you!! Love you. Keep Going and always remember: Your not alone, your just by yourself.. and thats a good thing! You got this Girl!!

[@travelforphoebe]

I've started writing with the hope it can become a book at some point... jotting down all the feelings, everything that's happening, documenting the journey. It's so good for the soul and mind :) That sounds amazing! You're going to have the BEST time!!!!

[@KaymarKreations]

Love that you have gone out exploring your new surroundings…. So proud of you pushing through the fear, anxiety and loneliness and grabbing life by the balls 😊 fabulous parents to have an epic van for your adventures…. Don’t worry about the drawer as everything is fixable. Loved the sunrise and your scenery footage was so peaceful and made me feel like I was with you. Great choice of music too. Keep smiling and remember everything happens for a reason…. I know you thought it was a travel fail on the wasted hour but remember it as an adventure and you’ll also laugh about it in time. You’ve got this…. Thank you for sharing this adventure and thank you for all the work in putting it together ❤ Oh and the comment “I let the mosquito bite me for company” …. Sorry but it cracked me up… 🤣🤣

[@travelforphoebe]

hahahah so glad the mosquito bit made you laugh :D hahaha Thank you so much for watching and all the lovely words on the video, it's so inspiring and motivating!

[@youngcrippen]

That was a great watch. You are blessed to live somwhere so beautiful. I'm impressed - it takes a serious amount of steel to do what you are doing alone and doing it so well to. Have a great week.

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh 🥹🙏🏼 thank you, that’s so encouraging for me! Totally agree - I’m so spoilt being able to live here. It’s stunning ♥️

[@intrepidnurse5659]

It’s been around 25 years since I’ve been to Cairns/Northern Queensland! I’d forgotten how incredibly beautiful it is so I’m looking forward to seeing your adventures and getting a heads up on places to visit when we get home. 😊Tams

[@EdibertojrIlano]

Im glad you are a little bit better now. That is just the way it is at the start of what you are going through. As you've said a roller coaster of emotions especially in the first few days, weeks and even months. The important thing is with prayers and lots of courage, i know you can recover from this. Just concentrate in loving yourself and do what makes you happy at the moment.

[@travelforphoebe]

That is excellent advice 🙏🏼 you’re so right, those first 8 weeks or so are unbelievable. It’s like someone out a curse on you and you’re in so much pain! But slowly it eases and gives way. Just slowly finding my way through things now ♥️

[@susanna6562]

Hey Phoebe, good to see you back! Just keep up with your good job and carry on!

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so so much :)

[@FelixCattenstart]

Hiya! Glad to hear some energy back in your voice. Always just do things when you're afraid of scared, except for when you can literally die (climbing the Bicentennial tree in Western Australia for instance, I did some 15-20 meters and then got back down). The environment you drove through looks stunning! Fish & Chips, my guilty pleasure if available gluten-free, it's the best comfort food 🍟. All those gorgeous nature and surroundings makes me feel a bit 'home-sick', but keep in mind I always say "I still call Australia home". Your country is so gorgeous, people are so friendly. If I had the visa to work there, I would apply and move right away. Thanks for sharing this with us and have an amazing week ahead 🤙

[@travelforphoebe]

Wow I hope you get a visa one day Felix - it sounds like Australia has your heart!!! You'll just have to come live here so you can be in 'your place' for longer :) Always love hearing about your adventures!!!!

[@melissasaazali3802]

Hi Phoebe, really enjoyed your videos! I guess we are in a similar stage of life… and I too and planning to have a solo travel after a break up just to find myself again. This give me confidence to start! Thank you!!

Great to have you back!!! And great idea to use your parent's campervan! Have a good time! ...... and at least 3x videos every day!! ;-)

Hehe. Oh what a cool adventure. I laughed quite a bit. The fish and chips beach dinner when you were sad was lovely. I'm petrified much the same. Soon I'll get a caravan and I'll be heading up from Brisbane to Cairns. Travelling the country is the idea. I'm freaking out. Excited but freaked. But gravel roads will be fine and I can always unhitch the van and just take the ute. Btw your mum's got one hell of a nice van. Love how you called and she must've used the words "strangle" and "if one single scratch" in the same sentence. 😂 Great video and aura about you - I hope you enjoy FNQ and maybe one day we'll bump into each other exploring that area. 👋 Oh and that page you read was so spot on. Since 2019 all the changes that led me from Melbourne to Brisbane to now caravan life... and what that's all meant. Life is wonderful and pain one day you realise has removed baggage to make way for such an amazing tomorrow.

Loved this video! I genuinely laughed out loud on the "This is amazing/This is terrifying!" cut. Babinda looked babeautiful, it's been too long since I've headed up north. That van is actually my dream vehicle. Thats my retirement plan, a big old van and just travelling. It's my Travel Van Plan. Cassowary! They used to be known as Cassoapproachy but were renamed hastily. Of course their latin name is Murderbird. 'Maybe I'm not lonely, I'm just hungry' is the battlecry of my people. Loved this first episode of the new series. Stay safe out there and keep growing and discovering🙂

[@travelforphoebe]

Hahahaha I put that cut in there wondering if anyone would catch it AND YOU DID! 🤣🙌🏻 Your travel van plan is a dang good one! It’s such a great way to explore. I’m really getting into the pace of it, so relaxed and no airports/taxis. So good. Hahaha maybe we’ll pop that battle cry in some merch 😂 Thank you!! Have a great week xx

[@magicintheforestwastaken]

@@travelforphoebe I loved it! Such a devastating cut, I chuckled away to myself🙂 If you put that slogan on anything, I would purchase it. I would purchase the heck out of it.

Hi Phoebe! I recently came across your videos about a month ago and have been following you since then. Your journey to finding yourself again is going to be fun, exciting, and scary and that's alright because that's part of the journey! You'll be surprised to discover new things about yourself as you continue to grow and find your way again in this crazy but beautiful world we live in. Just take it day by day and heal in your OWN time, not what people tell you. Now is the time to take control of your life again and live for YOU❤. P.S. any chance you can share the song that you used in your video (2:10)? It's such a good vibe😁. Thank you!

[@malakasbros]

Phoebe I love the nature, you made this content, absolutely Awesome 👍 Yeah !! 😂❤💕

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much 😁

[@KaminarimonOtoko]

Great to see you back on road. Love the slice of life mode of the channel. Can you do a Uluru trip?

[@travelforphoebe]

I really would love to! I think I may need to do that later in the year though, when it’s cooler. If I go now I will roast alive out there 😂

[@JP-pp5zh]

Cairns looks really good. I'd love to see that place. I enjoy your videos. You make good content. 🍻

Been following along with your journey recently and I am on the same boat. My breakup was last year yet it still feels fresh and it was s very long relationship, so I'm struggling to really let go. Going through it with you is helpful though. You are so right that its an emotional rollercoaster from hour to hour, minute to minute. I am literally down almost all the time, though late at night I get some relief. I'm going on a solo trip next month to Bali. Hopefully that'll help me. I was just there 2 months ago but came home early cause I was feeling so sad. Hopefully take 2 will go better. Wish we could just press a button and take all of this pain away. The loneliness is unbearable.

[@travelforphoebe]

It's hard cos you don't feel like doing anything but you only feel better if you do the things! You gotta fight so hard to push yourself to do them... get up, get outside, fresh air, walk the dog, see the beach, connect with nature, eat good food, read books, practice gratitude, exercise, get enough sleep, go to work, talk to people. It's WORK, huh! gosh. We'll get through it, don't worry :)

[@mmarsbarr]

Omg those views!!! East coast of Australia is just majestic! Bought a car from Bris and drove it down to Melb in 3 days few years ago, was the best trip of my life. Looks like FNQ is on another level 😮

[@travelforphoebe]

Just reading about that drive made my stomach turn haha that's foul! My worst nightmare! hahaha

[@petefeeanddeccy-d9019]

Hi Phoebe, I hope you are doing okay, we've been thinking of you. Your mums van looks great for a roadtrip, the scenery is just beautiful up there. You are making us want to hit the road :) I loved that page from 'The Mountain is You'. The words really hit home with me too. Thank you for giving me some much needed inspiration. Sending love your way

[@Life_With_Bek]

First of all I’m loving the video! You are doing so well stepping out of your comfort zone and facing the fear. I can relate to so much of how you feel and especially to the social anxiety and being self conscious about filming in public lol. I’m inspired by you and have been trying to just do it scared too. Also I love that page in your book. I’m going to have to read that one. I believe I’m about to end one season and step into a new one and part of that is letting go of this life to embrace a new one…a more authentically me one. I’m so unhappy in my current life and I can’t wait to step into the life I really want which includes a lot more travel. I’m trying to upload new travel videos each week and improve my editing. Just need people to watch 😂 love ya Sis. Keep going 😘 Bek xx

[@travelforphoebe]

I totally feel you on all of that! The 'more authentically me,' is so relatable :) Just gotta take it little by little and we'll get there. I can tell you, it feels so good once you get through those fears piece by piece. Each of those tiny victories is another piece of the puzzle!
