Yesterday, I was 21. Today I am 60. Sadly, it happens in the blink of an eye. You too will find this to be true. I do enjoy your vlogs very much, thank you! God bless and happy and safe travels.

[@mikeglo168]

Ditto. I'm 61 and wondering why I am watching someone else do what I SHOULD BE DOING! Just discovered your channel, Anna. You are an intelligent, insightful, brave young woman!

[@robertabrams8562]

I really like the “Story Telling” format where you’re creating an audio journal and recording it into your phone…I’ve watched many Many MANY VanLife videos (and RVing videos as well), and you seem to be the only one who does this! It, along with your narration, creates this kinda “Magical Beauty” to your vlogs - it’s really a unique premise! You’re very young, but you def are an old soul! On a different note, your editing of this video was absolutely excellent, and you should be given huge props for that…I know editing these vlogs is very time consuming, so I tip my hat to your hard work in bringing us this fine content! Continue staying healthy and safe 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼✌🏼

[@annauncharted]

thank you so much ☺️ I really appreciate when others appreciate the little details that often go unnoticed…thanks again for your kindness and encouraging words hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

[@MariahAlice]

The editing girl the editing oh my god the editing. I’m so grateful I got to spend your birthday with you!! Until our paths cross again (preferably soon) 💕

[@annauncharted]

ahhh 🥰❤️ I’m so grateful we finally got to get together and just hangout over gorgeous sunsets and campfires on what felt like our own planet! thank you for making my birthday this year extra fun and special. 🥳💕…until we see each other again (soon hopefully-but itsokayyy we’ve gotta lifetime ☺️)

Your journal entries are the best. You should write a book someday - Anna Uncharted would be such a good title

[@annauncharted]

When Mariah and I were together talking over a campfire she literally asked me if I thought about publishing 😅 …it sounds nice/exciting in theory but also would be so much work- I also just feel like I don’t have enough life experience at this point to do it justice or properly. (I just can’t fall into the pit where I never stop saying that to myself 🙈)

[@AL-si4eo]

@@annauncharted As a guy a lot older than you, I think I'd read it exactly for the 'don't have enough life experience' perspective. People would want to read the slice of life you are on in your journey. Roughly like a modern Catcher in the Rye, if Holden were doing van life! Justice or proper? For that I'll watch CSI :)

[@annauncharted]

@@AL-si4eo You make a really good point and I'm appreciating the change in perspective you're giving me. Haha Hmmm...maybe this is something I need to consider more seriously sooner rather than later. Thank you so much!

[@celesteautokier]

Well I’m considered vintage now. I love that. But you seem wise beyond your years. Hubby and I bought the van and have started the build. Going to try to take long weekends and decide what we need where. Love watching you grow and progress. And thanks for some of your beginning build videos. They really helped. Safe travels.

[@fredsmith2299]

So amazing .... I remember driving across Nevada ... there's nothing there but a view (a good view) and then you come to Las Vegas ...

[@SocksWithSandals]

For a state you wanted to just pass through quickly, you discovered so many hidden gems in Nevada!

[@annauncharted]

I certainly did 🥰

I am older and I thank God for my my 66yr old life but being young is wonderful 🙏

Hi Anna, best wishes on the first day of 2022! I just discovered your channel a few days ago and am loving it. The past month i've been researching camper vans, preparing to buy one and go on extended road trips, so it is fun to see another solo female traveler adventuring in a similar way! I am in the western states: Idaho, Utah, Montana, etc so there is a lot of territory to cover, especially once the snow dissipates. I hope you continue to enjoy your travels and bring us along for the ride -- thanks! 😀

[@kikotalu395]

BE EXTRA CAREFUL, SAFE, & REMAIN VIGILANT OUT THERE!!! GOD'S BLESSING AND PROTECTION ALWAYS TO ALL SOLO TRAVELERS 🙏 🙌!!!

I wish I had explored when as young as you. I am just getting ready to travel, first car travel until I know I feel comfortable doing it and then hoping to move onto a van or transconnect. Love seeing your adventures. I am Canadian so I don't have many warm places to go. May need to only travel in Spring, Summer and Fall, home for winter.

So glad you did 50, so so amazing out there! Love Austin especially the sunsets heading east! And those sunrise hot springs are magical & great to camp at, so happy you got to experience it! I've heard it gets busy but when I've been there it's been mellow, I went in January of 2020. I absolutely love aging, so many memories, I get excited everyday where next I can be 🦅

The hot springs water looked so nice and comfortable. Pretty cool you got a visitor three at the end. Have fun and safe travels.

[@JJMarkin]

Happy birthday, Anna. And, in addition to wishing you all the best in your travels, I wish you a working heater -- cold will sap your strength and possibly lead to pneumonia, which, trust me, is no fun. That said, thank you for another wonderful vlog. I've been enjoying watching your adventures for about a year now, and look forward to many more.

[@annauncharted]

Thank you so much ☺️ ((& no worries I’ve got a heater and an electric blanket now!!! I’m super cozied up!))

That sunset was pretty awesome. 🥰

[@karenmcneill2602]

Anna, I LOVED how you 'pushed' your drone away to film! That was fabulous 👏😍. I've lived in cold places (bottom of NZ) and never had water freeze like that! No thank you!😨😨😨. Your time there looked incredible. The castle was facinating but nope, I wouldn't stay there at night on my own either. For me it would be an attraction to other people and maybe not nice people... That you annoyed yourself 😅😅😅 I relate to! I watch another KZbinr, she is building out her bus, who often says to herself "why am I the way I am?" when she makes mistakes LOL. I love it because we are all the same! I'm in my 50s and have definitely asked my annoyed self this type of question 😆😆😆😆. Thanks Sweetie! Keep having fun out there!!

Another excellent video, if I may say, as someone who spends a lot of time and is still around many people, around activity, around a busy world, I find solace in your moments of solitude. First I met Christian, then Mariah, and now you at this site. The three of you continue to make me feel like there is so much out there in the world, that is missing by simply being alone and taking it in and being one with it. Thank you

I remember that road and the castle. Your music choices, editing and self reflection touch me. Just found your vlog and really enjoy your channel. Hugs, look forward to the rest. Db

[@chrisdaniel1339]

I treasure the same situations when I am traveling, I prefer to be the only one at a particular location I visit so I can enjoy the moment to its fullest without other people's music, noise, overly loud laughter, ect. If I want noise in nature I will head to the beach for crashing waves, drive into a thunder storm, find a waterfall, or a high peak to hear the wind. Anna, you should consider getting a gas/diesel heater, it sips fuel from an auxiliary port on your fuel tank and would keep you van toasty warm and your water a liquid

[@timdunmyer4549]

I thought you had a heater in your van. You know it's not going to get warmer heading north? Your right about that castle. It looks like a place a vampire would be sleeping during the day. I must say your reaction to the sunset was priceless. I'm surprised that you don't have a karaoke machine in your van. Have fun with your new travel buddy.

[@annauncharted]

I do! But sometimes I don’t run it to save gas/electricity. But I also have an electric blanket now that’s been a game changer in the cold!

[@Ric.A.Photography]

Your storytelling and video work is superb. You are so inspiring and I love your work.

Happy belated birthday Anna! Whenever I see you singing behind the wheel, I'm in the mood to go driving in my car while singing myself :) I understand being irritated by yourself! I'm often annoyed by my past self, especially because of my procrastination. If there was anything I could change about myself, it would be that bad habbit. Although I do enjoy procrastinating at the moment itself :D

Awesome series. Much respect! Am heading out on a solo bicycle ride from Sacramento to Pittsburg, Pa. first week of May. Meeting up with a friend there to ride from Piitsburgh to Washington DC. Have been watching lots of cross-country you-tubers for ideas and insight. Loved this episode. Am doing Highway 50 on my bike! So looking forward to the challenge of solitude in that part of the world. I never heard of the hot springs, and now I want to stop in. Is it far off Highway 50? I saw you stayed there for a few nights. Am hoping to pitch a tent and stay one night there. Was there anything posted at the site about being able to do that? After seeing your video, it seemed so cool to experience it without the crowds.Thanks for adding a twist to my journey. Wishing you the best on your travels and in life!
