Don't forget your watermelons for hydration..water is a filler,doesn't replenish electrolytes!! Wishing you good health sis!!❤ 🙏🏾 😊

[@MrsBlackButterfly]

I love how she identified it as “eerie feeling” with the other employees at the RV park. I chuckled. 😂 I know what you really wanted to say about them. Keep pushing, traveling and having fun.

[@mary3-y8i]

Please don’t push yourself a little bit and safe is better than pushing yourself into the hospital it sounds like you’re stressing your body rest there’s nothing wrong with that. 🙏🏻❤️

[@waterrat6915]

You tell her Mary!!

[@kikomartin-pr]

You said mmmmm after finishing the sandwich then said worst meal ever. A little confusing for a lot of us. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Take it easy in Colorado. We went thru the mountains in Arizona and New Mexico and the sudden rise in elevation was a little rough but not too bad luckily.

[@LoveLandforChrist]

Shouting 🗣️ I AM SO PROUD OF YOU NOMI !!! I love you Sis and truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking us on your journey 💖💖💖 God Bless you !

[@dawnbartle123]

Not tuned in for a while. Was lovely to see you pop up on my feed. .. I’m a severe asthmatic, been struggling for a while. Sending you love and light from the UK. Keep on trucking girl! I get your breathing issues. Your amazing. I love travelling through the eyes of others cos I can’t do it. ❤xxx

[@wendydonnelly4885]

Nomi, instead of your next hike being a walking hike you might consider going horseback riding with a guide and maybe one couple. That way you can still see the beautiful scenery of the Colorado foothills and mountains without having the breathing issues of the altitude sickness. The hike was stunning, but we could definitely hear you struggling to breathe. Please be careful and try to stay in low altitude until your body adjusts. Know that we care about you. I recommend getting a pulseometer. It goes on your index finger and monitors not only your pulse but your oxygen levels. If your oxygen levels get below 90 seek out help at an urgent care center or an Emergency Room.

[@dunez71]

Oh my goodness, my puppy was glued to the TV during your walk in the trail. She loves trail walking. I wish I could post a picture here.

[@denicelucas8483]

Eat what you want. Don’t let people bully you, you don’t need to explain. Love watching you!

[@meatavoreNana]

Eat what you fancy😊

[@motherofahmun6389]

Traveling to high altitude locations are definitely a learning experience. Glad you moved to a more manageable attitude level. Keep enjoying life. We love being in this community.

[@ForkNLeans]

She's not much lower if she's where I think that area is..

[@ms.v8616]

Hey lady hey, you're giving women inspiration and self confidence in actually living your dream. Pace yourself and do what makes you feel good. Proud of you sis. 🎉

[@hoptoi]

Please be careful! My daughter lives in CO and got caught in that horrible hail storm the other night. It broke all the windows in her car. I love watching your journey! Take care!

[@leahbeenz2537]

Nomi, your walking with confidence, I’m glad you don’t have to worry about alligators crossing your path! Have fun🌲

[@rockiechi3108]

No, now she just needs to worry about our bears 😱😮😂😂 just stay alert ❤

[@birdervaughn5435]

I really love your channel. I feel as if I. am on an adventure with you. Have fun and be careful.

Hi Nomi-I’m a 5th generation Coloradan, so welcome! It’s a diverse state, and you should check out Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride & Mesa Verde before you leave-the beauty of the 4-corners area is unparalleled. One piece of advice-that a learned from an expert trekker-go slow and steady whenever you hike, especially the higher in altitude you trek. Be mindful of each step, each rock, root and the undulating terrain. Enjoy each step, take in the beauty in a slow and thoughtful manner. My guess is you heard insects in the brush and not rattlers-the cold streak Colorado just went through would have left them quiet. Please do think about buying bear spray if you’re going to hike in the back country-just remember, however, the animals are much more scared of you, and will avoid you if possible. Also-if you see a mama & baby moose, get away quickly & quietly-she will attack if she feels threatened. Enjoy this gorgeous state!

[@annciesla1003]

That was so beautiful looking at those mountains

[@tan_ya_]

I just want to let you know you've inspired me to travel alone. I realize I am never alone if I rent a car at my destination and hit the road.

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

You look good with short hair.Are you using your compass? We love you Nomi for U!!! You’re special to God and us!🥰🤗🙏🌞

[@scarter8137]

Hey Nomi! Happy your feeling better. Yeah, you finally de-winterized good for you! Walking in a small establishment and all of a sudden all goes quiet with eyes on you is an awkward feeling, we have all been there 🤷🏼‍♀️ The views are beautiful enjoy your adventures. Until next time !

[@wstafco]

Glad you're feeling better Nomi! The dreadlocks fit you really well in my opinion. Too bad you cut them! Safe travels.

[@motherofahmun6389]

@@Nomadicintrovert im glad someone else said it....... those LOCKS were YOU!!!!!

[@jenniferredder6226]

Very impressed with your hike!!! I was thinking “Lord she traded in Alligators for snakes”!!

[@sharonoldham4374]

I agree😊

[@tonyagordon6998]

I love that you gave yourself permission to "not cook" while you are not feeling your best. Take care of yourself.

[@GoldenRetrievermom]

Hi Nomi, you did great on that trail! I’d have been on my butt. Remember to give your body time to heal and get back to feeling really good. Don’t overdo it.

[@Micah6-8walk]

Happy to see you out enjoying our beautiful Creation. I hope you and your home have avoided our massive recent hailstorms

[@florettarayford2333]

You should have had your walking stick. Be careful out there and oh thanks for taking me to Colorado. That’s the only way I would have experienced it. I know I couldn’t handle the thin air.

[@colleenv2091]

Hi Nomi, I’ve been with you from the start. Don’t be trapped into being inflexible because you made a plan. Your frustration is pretty evident. There are many places to visit that aren’t so taxing on your body until you’re ready. Be kind to yourself ❤

[@llynnetteyoung]

First off, so glad you feel better. My dogs and I are watching your channel, playing catch up- right before church service. I love yr hair. It would be nice to see it a little longer, can’t wait. You have a beautiful curly grade. Colorado is beautiful.

[@lonestar210]

Nomi Don't push yourself in Colorado My mom had a stroke because of elevation Keep well ! 💕

[@denitatucker-washington2697]

Video starts 🤔🤔 I know Nomi doesn’t have on a bonnet 😂 I’m glad you’re feeling better at a lower altitude ❤ stay safe

[@SRCARTENMD1]

Good job Nomi! Just a helpful suggestion: I hike often with my huskies. I have a friend that suffers from asthma and likes to go with us on our hikes. She started using Oxygen Plus energy and recovery ( blue and silver canister) which was recommended by another hiker on the path. After using it, 29:23 29:23 29:23 she’s no longer out of breath. Anyway, I’m proud of you and keep on trekking!! God bless and Be well!!

[@tanyawashington3782]

I was stressed out watching you hike. I was concerned about your breathing and the fact that you were out there hiking alone. Glad you’re safe now. I love ❤️ watching your videos. You’re such an inspiration. Take care.

[@margaretrathbun5252]

Hi Nomi, never feel like you have to apologize for anything or what you eat. You had such a productive day & I’m sure you where pooped. Safe travels & stay safe. God bless you. Sisters in Christ.✌️😎

[@Crystalandlagreenga]

Wow that was a phenomenal hike Nomi. You had me breathing heavy right along with you. 😅🤗

[@nadinealbert5470]

You ought to keep a journal on your trips and think about writing a book.

[@ptkt5052]

Those employees were staring at your awesomeness and your spirit filled with light! Thanks for another great vlog!

[@sandradillon9927]

I was real worried about you when I heard your breathing as you walked. Glad you didn't come across any snakes while walking. I respect the fact you keep your van so clean it's amazing what peace of mind it gives you to look around and see organization, that's the only way I could travel in such a small space. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us I look forward to your next adventure. Stay safe and healthy. Bless you my dear from this 80 year old grandma I get to travel thru you.

[@lavernelide3202]

Whew! You had me breathing hard. I'm so glad you were able to complete the hike. My anxiety was on High! 🤣❤

[@vegasval25]

Omg these videos have had me smiling from ear to ear. I literally felt like I was right there with you camping and everything. I truly needed that. You are so brave. All I could think of was when you walked and saw the alligator. I cracked up when you said you heard snakes. You are hilarious. Thanks for the awesome videos!!!!!! Be safe!!!!

[@patalsup8572]

Yikes I’m about to pass out hiking with you😉❤

[@carolannscruggsclips]

Since you been having trouble adjusting to the altitude if you want to be sure that you're okay you can get an inexpensive pulse oximeter at either Walmart or a drugstore. Most of them run under $20. It's very easy You just have to put it on your finger usually your index finger will read the best. I'm a registered nurse and as long as you're 92 to 100 you should be okay. You can check it when you're at rest and your RV or take it with you when you're hiking and just sit down and take it a minute to be sure you're okay. Then you'll know you're getting enough oxygen saturation in your blood stream.

[@mari.gbailey-day2352]

your hair grows fast to man I wish my hair grew that fast

[@Daydeeda701]

Glad you moved to a lower climate, I was worried about you. I could hear in your voice that you didn't feel well.

[@BJM217]

You kill me when you tell yourself off as though we are thinking that. Too beautiful.

[@joycewinegarner9786]

You made it girl!!! So so happy you've come to my hometown!!!! Do not miss Garden of the God's!!! Also, there is an awesome restaurant up the pass from Manitou, in a little mountain town called Green Mountain Falls... the restaurant is called The Pantry. It's a wonderful mountain experience. Fine outside by a mountain stream in a very cool space, and EVERYTHING on the menu is so good. Can't wait to see what you do next!!! Love to ya Sister ❤

[@rockiechi3108]

Go VERY hungry and ask to sit by the stream. All the food is great.

[@Rickettsia505]

I love garden of the gods and Manitou springs. I also like Pagosa Springs and Idaho Springs.

[@MarloShaVonne]

Yes, Garden of the GODS is an Experience.

[@worldhealthrn]

Girl you we're flying up that mountain! no wonder why you were out of breath 😊 beautiful hike.... Oh there were bears and coyotes. That explains why you were stepping lively! We know you respect you and wildlife!

[@merrittmyra]

Take care of yourself Nomi! Praying for you❤

[@melissajones6617]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂maam you were walking like someone was chasing you where was your walking stick you need to read up how important it is to have some form of walking or hiking stick it seemed as though your focus was more on reaching your goal I know trees and paths in the field but I am so proud you pushed past the possibilities of the wildlife encounters you did well and getting more brave 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👸🏾

[@Herk988]

Colorado Springs! Hopefully you can see Garden of the Gods while there? It’s so amazing!

[@tinagranger7060]

Lady, I have said this before. You are so brave and smart. If you want to eat a Sandwich and Fry from a fast food restaurant, then eat it. You've had a very busy couple of days. Also, you have such a clear smooth-looking Face. Please continue to stay safe.

[@Midastouchmase]

Sis 😂 you were so winded I kept chuckling say she's such a go getter I kept saying ok turn around. When you stopped, I was glad for you. I felt your relief going downhill. You are a whole warrior out here! 🙌🏾 feel better soon.

Nomi, Thank you for being you! I had open heart surgery in Jan and watching your videos helped me get through the recovery. I am well now. I'm not Tony, I'm Cathy. Blessings on you, friend ❤

[@MyssiD67]

Hi Nomi!! Hey when you think about it, going from Florida to Colorado is an ascension in itself because Denver is still 5000 some odd feet above sea level. Going from Illinois at 600 ft was apparent to me. Also, the air is DRIER than Florida, etc. Some saline nasal spray might help your congestion. Take care. Peace to you ☮️

[@kimmy1984]

Hi Nomi I hope you are feeling better. FYI I don’t like raw tomatoes either, they must’ve cooked.

[@carolchisholm433]

Glad you are feeling better. High altitude affects people differently. You were smart to go to a lower altitude. I used to tent camp on BLM land about 10 years ago. Nothing like it. Hope you will visit Garden of the Gods. Lots of parking area and the hikes are generally flat.

[@douglashoward5738]

Hair looks good!

Hey Nomi… glad your breathing is improving… listen to your body and take it easy. Stay safe

Congrats on your weight loss! I am going to follow your lead. You look healthy and happy!

[@micheleoaks7046]

I notice that some van lifers use a fresh water filter when filling up on freshwater so if u are in a pinch u can drink or cook with it. They sell them at Walmart. U hope u feel better.

[@sunrise2day462]

I enjoyed the hike. Continue to rest and take care of yourself. You are right Colorado is so Beautiful! I hope to visit there one day.

[@RitaPsych1]

Okay, I know when you were in Florida, you were scared of alligators but I think I’d be more scared of bears and rattlesnakes where you are. That altitude sickness looks pretty rough so hopefully you’ll rest more to feel better physically. Good for you that you made a decent effort to hike. It’s good that you’ll now be able to shower in your van. Take care and I see that people are calling you Nomi so now I know what to call you. (I must have missed the video when you said your name…) 😊

[@joycewinegarner9786]

OMG!!! I surely pray you weren't caught up in the hailstorm!!!

[@estherfelder4434]

when you hike like this i hope you let someone know. If you ever slip and fall someone may never know. Be safe out there because that looked very dangerous....

[@donnab2520]

We had to winterize once and the service did it by blowing out the lines with air. No antifreeze. When we reached the warm, we just made sure valves were closed and filled up the water. (Don’t know any how-to. 🤷)

[@owlbecrafty]

I don’t know how you do it, you are brave to walk along that terrain with rattle snakes 🫣

Hello Nomi, so glad you’re feeling better. That view of the snow capped mountains 🏔️ is GORG ‼️❤️

[@PizzaVodkaLisa]

Nomi great video once again. Maybe on the next hike you can take your time and not rush or run during the next hike. That might help eliminate you being completely out of breathe especially during elevational climbs. I felt like you were in a Survivor Race. lol. Keep on keeping on. :)

[@jacquelineireland2273]

Thank YOU for having us as your fam. We are living vicariously through you without having to experience things like rattlesnakes, bugs, possible bears and coyotes 😅😅.

[@rockiechi3108]

Oh, you weren't too far from my house. I recognized the downtown area. Hope your staying safe. I wouldn't take a hike if you still have altitude sickness. But if you're feeling better, take a small hike in red Rock Canyon it shouldn't be to far from where your at, and you can see the garden of the God's from that hike. It's so beautiful. Stay blessed. 🌹
