Thanks for your continued support.

[@JeffinSouthernTierNY]

[@brokerightfoot]

Was that a canyon?! I'm glad you were smart enough not to walk too close😮❤

[@vallaryamato-oq9tk]

Looked very peaceful stay safe BLESSED BE ♥️

[@latonyahughes5638]

❤❤❤

[@NickieLeeJoe]

Thank you ❤💥

[@candacekelley7214]

Please, never, never walk, run, etc…anywhere without taking your backpack with supplies, including first aid…even a jacket tied around waist…Love what you do

[@dawnagiron2192]

Especially in utah deserts.

[@lorisuhr7326]

Yes in Arizona too, I take a liter of water for each hour I expect to be out. It can get dangerous very quickly without good planning.

[@lornagoodman1891]

Especially water!

[@MarloShaVonne]

Yes, Not Safe. Not sure Nomi watches the NEWS; she must have Heat on her. Hard to believe she's walking without protection. 🙏🏽

[@susansegal1808]

Be careful coyotes

[@annetteanderson1933]

Snakes do not like Moth balls. So when you park somewhere you're afraid you might be have a snake nearby, just get you a box of Moth balls from the dollar store and spread those all up under your RV.

[@PulpParadise]

Moth balls are highly toxic. Please do not throw them out into nature.

[@donnakelley1202]

My dollar store doesn't have moth balls anymore. Bit it is a good tip to keep snakes away. Thanks for the heads up.

[@NancyNieves-cq7ch]

I admire your tenacity and your love of life. You have proved to me that there is nothing wrong with wanting to be by yourself.

[@deecar3096]

Gurl!!!!!! You should always take protection with you no matter what.... The desert is a dangerous place to be you have to be very careful you should always be strapped... Be safe!

[@dbzennie7474]

I am sure she is strapped.

[@MarloShaVonne]

She Betta have HEAT. Folks IS Crazy.

[@BridgettM_]

I should be working on my PhD thesis but I’m here literally binge watching your vlogs. I came across your channel yesterday and I’ve watched over 15 videos already. The way you’re living is incredibly inspirational. Love from Lesotho( A country inside South Africa). 🇱🇸🇿🇦♥️

[@nessastew1205]

Good luck on your endeavors

[@BridgettM_]

@@nessastew1205thank you!

[@DR-dr8dr8]

Has Nomi posted recently? Can't find anything? Wondering if she's okay.

[@MarloShaVonne]

Much Success on your thesis & dissertation. PhD

[@ke5445]

U saved my daughter a lot of money.. she always parks at LAX airport at 50.00 a day. Price parking at Weston today is 15.00 a day. That’s a savings of 35.00 a day. Shuttles are supposed to run run every 15 to 20 min. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@carolyncline2088]

Nomi, please be careful all by yourself in isolated areas.

[@MarloShaVonne]

Lord, YES!!!! COMPLETELY AGREE.

[@pamelapeterson7693]

The type of dog I think you were searching is a Doberman (looks like a Rottweiler but skinnier with pointed ears) 😊

[@205Bham]

Wrote the words out my mouth

[@regrich8795]

Yes everyone's guard dogs in the 80's i remember i like them..

[@RitaPsych1]

Glad you’re exploring the desert. I might be a bit scared to do all this alone but I’m glad you’re showing us how courageous you are. Enjoy the journey, Ms. Nomad.

[@msmichele-chooseJOY]

Twenty years from now you are going to have the BEST memories to look back on. Good for you. Keep doing your thing and thank you for sharing. Stay safe. Stay blessed.

[@liastorm795]

The desert seems so peaceful😊 But I’m too scary to stay over night from the different movies I watched😅😂

[@carmenm.478]

😂

[@JohnBoyJoy]

the hills have eyes

[@regrich8795]

🤣🤣

[@louiZiana-Gurl]

@@JohnBoyJoyyes I was thinking the same!!!

[@MarloShaVonne]

Yep. Courage Required.

[@charlenegandy9315]

😮 Oh my God, I'm so glad that there are two others out there with you. You stay safe girl please your in my prayers always 😌🙏♥️

[@shelleykelly5944]

Hi Nomadic Introvert! I've only just discovered your channel and I LOVE your content and everything about you! One hint that's always helped my husband-who used to drive vehicles/trucks all over the United States; please always keep some packing blankets or 3 x 3 foot carpet scraps in your van in case your tires become stuck in mud/grass/snow, etc. You can place them under your rear tires and slowly but surely ease your way out. It can be messy, but it can also save money and maybe even your life if you're in an isolated place.

[@tobylarzen3611]

Those were rabbit droppings. It sounds like you're describing a Doberman or miniature Pinscher. I loved my stay at a desert base. You're so right. Deserts are cold in the evenings and early mornings!

[@nadjiabutler4894]

I'm so happy 🎉for presenting positive content ☺️

[@carolh1988]

Wow ! We're in Utah.. looks vast and soo peaceful. I've enjoyed the last year going places with you it's great fun. Oh. BTW when you've been on your walk just be sure to spray your shoes off incase you step in some kind of animal mess as some have parasites..take care . ❤❤❤ xx

[@loria7946]

Thank you for sharing Nomi! Love your content 😊

[@foxzy285]

Utah cool. Life is nothing but a glamorous dream. Love solitude that my lifestyle. ❤

[@natilebaker2279]

Hey Sis thank you for taking us to utah with you stay safe don't forget to check the world news sometimes Be aware of what's going on much love ur Sis Peace 💗 ❤❤

[@MarloShaVonne]

Girl....YES!!!

[@sunrise2day462]

Thank you for sharing! You are inspiring to drive. I am now gaining more confidence driving locally more and more.

[@annetteanderson1933]

I hope you get to go to some of the national parks there. They're so beautiful. The zion is the one I went to.

[@tracymerrick902]

Moab is on my vacation bucket list! So beautiful!! Be Blessed!! Stay safe!! Psalm 91

[@FemmiGirlz]

Mmm. Your dinner looks scrumptious 😊

[@connyeslough5919]

Please, please be care walking by yourself. The desert is beautiful but so dangerous.

[@deloiswoods7571]

You are one brave lady. I admire your spirit of adventure. 😊

[@susanthomas9046]

Hi, please be careful. Go back in your van. You don't know what's out there. Try to see the sunset in your van. Your out there all by yourself. Please stay safe.

[@jjc2323]

love Utah!!! so beautiful! hiked The Arches

[@SRCARTENMD1]

Good morning from Cali. Always a great way to start the day by catching a sunrise. As for those pellet droppings by your van, probably some sort of animal from the rodent population or some type of rabbit. Glad you’re exploring the desert and getting the feel of the land. Keep exploring fam. Love the video! Be safe, keep on trekking and God bless!

[@ivyd5485]

Those shot gun shells worry me. I never considered that ppl maybe hunting in the desert. I wonder what they’d be hunting out there. Thanks for sharing your travels.

[@lornagoodman1891]

I think people lgo out and practice shooting in the open wilderness. The bad thing is if it’s really dry that can cause a fire.

[@alice-ub2vs]

I'm living vicariously thru your videos, I love the beaches and sunrises and mountains. Be safe Nomi❤

[@dawnagiron2192]

Welcome here to Utah. Bundle up and enjoy our Beautiful Lands!!! Snowbird and Ogden canyon is awesome this time of year

[@dawnagiron2192]

Rockport too. You can camp there ...

[@bellavita3097]

Those are rabbit or deer droppings. Trent and Ali are in Utah they were van life 5-6 years then they bought some land in Utah where he’s from she’s from Washington DC amazing couple they built a smart house and garage now they’re adding on to their house and they have a custom van build out company ‘mountain made vans’. Amazing couple.

[@hotfudgecake]

Whos Trent and Ali lol some friends of yours ?

[@bellavita3097]

You tube friends just like this channel just good people who traveled the world and made a great living from it. ⬅️

[@lindaprice9242]

Beautiful mountains!! I am not scared of any bugs but I am petrified of snakes. When they are going to show one on TV I will literally close my eyes. When at the zoo that's one thing I will not look at. Someone suggested mothballs around your van that's a good idea. I'll be waiting for your next journey that you were taking us on. Thank you so much and stay safe

[@msmich1868]

I'm the same way I can't see them on TV, or a book, nothing

[@lifewithklc]

Saaaaaame about snakes!

[@hotfudgecake]

Why

[@stasi6206]

IT LOOKS SOOOO PEACEFUL OUT THERE

[@rlmbmq]

Hope you can get to ZionNP. You won’t regret it. And Bryce,Canyon. Utah is gorgeous

[@anitabush282]

I love cool adventures. Thank you for video

[@ShadowReader]

You are a inspiration to me 🎉 thank you so much for sharing your energy with us.

[@TrulyJefferson]

Good morning, Nomie. The desert is so beautiful. Those might have been jackrabbit droppings by your van.

[@joannegibson-lucas3791]

We have giant sand crickets in our basement. They kill spiders so I am ok with them.

[@vet4life]

You are so BOLD! solitude brings about awakenings and epiphany's that help guide you through life. Im sure you have a level of wisdom that MOST couldn't obtain. I agree w/everyone about you being safe everywhere you go. Those droppings look like snake or rabbit droppings. Tfs until nexy time. ❤

[@lisarnful]

I like how cautious you are. I’m the same way.

[@janetmcburney4582]

Utah has some of the most stunning rock formations in the US

[@fonda7760]

Another lovely video! Mentally preparing for my exodus from concrete bldgs to adventure via the van life! Thank you to the van life community! Your comments and suggestions are not on fallen ears. I’m grateful for the tips’😊

[@lynnhinds7471]

Grand Rising. Thank you for sharing that beautiful scenery and your wonderful journey. Continued safe travels.

[@deborahclark9593]

Amen. Crickets and grasshoppers jump at you. I also am scared of praying mantis and spiders. Please be careful.

[@kentuckylucky5762]

You can get a chart online with animal scat( poop) so you can recognize it as well as animal tracks...also books...most state natural resources/ wildlife also post them online.. Good to know! Fyi

[@lulub5758]

Hey nomi, thanks for sharing ❤️

[@atsey38]

Nomi YOU ARE EXTREMELY BRAVE!

[@JohnBoyJoy]

love it! i would love to see you experience Alaska. it's such a breathtaking place since you love nature. you can take a ferry there on your van.

[@elvafae9902]

So funny well sorry…not laughing at you but I’m laughing at me LOL Your thumbnail at the beginning of this video looked like a really cool bird to me and I got all excited to hear about that bird you found then you stood up 😮 Not a bird…silly me I got birds on the brain…we have lots of beautiful ducks here at our rv park and we get to feed them and they are so tame…they all got their personalities and we love them so much…one day we’ll leave here but oh man that will be hard…

[@annetteanderson1933]

They used to film a lot of the old Western movies. Near Zion National Park, there was a little motel. It was decorated in the 19 70s, and they named the rooms like John Wayne. And the cowboys' names.

[@sherribatko8981]

Why would anybody go for a walk in the desert, even a short walk, without water, phone, etc just in case you spring an ankle, fall, etc Who going to help?? No body knows where you are, and you may need water before found, etc

[@jo100]

The Deserts 🌵 🏜️ Of Utah, look very very very very Cool 😎 Nomi😎😊👍

[@juanitajones6448]

❤me too, for the crickets and for Grasshoppers

[@les-leysure7082]

I love your videos. Feels like I'm hanging out with you. I'm actually going to an RV van camper expo. I would love to travel in a van.

[@joyscott1411]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Budhasgirl]

Continued blessings and safe travels to you

[@heatherf1239]

I’m in the Midwest and grasshoppers invaded our office downtown. No idea how they got inside a building but it was a challenge getting rid of them. I wonder if your fear is based on their rapid movement/jumping. I have a fear of frogs for that reason. Awesome video as always. I love how you said you had an epiphany in the desert…sounds like a line to a song. Enjoy your travels and be safe!!

[@nlt10016]

Yeah I think that’s it, they move and jump so fast, yuk I’d be moving & jumping away also😂😂😂

[@awordindueseason]

You are the first person I've ever heard who shares my phobia of frogs. Inexplicably, I'm less afraid of large snakes than I am of frogs. I've been made fun of for this "irrational" fear all of my life and could never answer the "why" for the longest time. Then it finally occurred to me when I realized that I am just as fearful of butterflies that it is the uncertainty of which direction they will go next in their rapid, darting movements. One can anticipate the direction a snake will go and move in the opposite direction, but when certain creatures tend to dart and switch directions (towards you) they are more frightening to me!

[@julieweaver3456]

I love watching your videos. But.. do you ever get lonely? Or, do you just not show your friends?

[@jennyregester2559]

You’re by yourself and you’re making me nervous.

[@LoveLandforChrist]

Thanks for letting me tag along. Love you Nomi💖💖💖

[@soleillebolduc2448]

Did you just say ""bugs don't bother me?" lol

[@A222Z]

I totally agree about the chemicals .. I admire you being portable & minimal in lifestyle. 😊

Keep up the journey Nomi. Thank You for sharing with us

[@colleenmarcotte5578]

Thanks for sharing the beauty in our country. Places I will never see first hand. Stay safe, be well ❤

That’s Beautiful…. Wow

[@danielledrake9000]

Doberman Pincher and they are some of the most intelligent, loving and bonded to their hooman. They can be super protective and have been overbred at times so if you ever look into them do your research.

[@kathleenjasa3125]

Moab is great! Good food! Hope you can make it Arches!

[@minnaparker1041]

I hope you can get to canyon lands national park and arches national park since they aren't too far from moab. Utah is beautiful and glad you are there. Stay safe and enjoy your time there 😊

[@lavonfleming6116]

I know where you are 😀 I've visited Moab twice - it's so beautiful there. You have to go to the National Park, it's AWESOME. Since you're a veteran, you get in free

[@sadraon8157]

I've got the crickets and grasshoppers if you've got the spiders. Sounds like a good deal!

[@donnakelley1202]

You are one brave young woman. The way you feel about crickets is the way I feel about snakes. No way would I walk around in that desert. But the scenery is amazing. God bless you girl. Maybe you should buy a shotgun.

[@mitziduncan7588]

Welcome to Moab, I am from Utah, and I was wondering if you were going to make it down this way. I enjoy your journeys. 😊

[@jubilantmornings8492]

You being from Texas and being afraid of grasshoppers and crickets is so funny to me.

[@gerrierichardson7127]

Hello!" Nomi!" Utah Dessert area. Peaceful and calms little exploring done. Good deal. No spiders or snakes, that was good. Dinner looked yummy. Until your next video.😊

[@The65Deeda]

I think Dobermans Pinschers look like Rottweilers because they are a combination of many breeds, one breed being a Rottweiler

[@janetwatson7966]

During ww2 the Germans created the Rottweiler. They breeded German shepards and pits together. They wanted a deadly dog. Dobermans? Never heard or seen where they look like rotts.

[@CMane]

@@janetwatson7966Black/rust colored Dobies and Rotts do look alike.

[@janetwatson7966]

@@CMane just because they look a like to you does not mean others think that.. d9bies are long legged and skinny. Roots are short and muscular. But, ok

[@JohnBoyJoy]

@@CMane not really. just their colors that's about it. dobermans are shaped completely differently and they're lean. boxers heads are huge. the black and rust colors are similar but dobies look more like greyhounds if they never have their ears cropped.

[@barbarafollmann8909]

I absolutely love you and your videos..always be safe my dear..I am 85 and a worrier❤

[@karenandthomasbsr249]

The dog that you saw might have been a Belgian Malinois. Please pardon if I misspelled Malinois👀😅. Thank you for sharing your experience in this beautiful desert terrain with us!! Keep inspiring us and continue to stay safe!!!❤

Those square cube tents are easy to set up.. Up in 10 minutes or less. probably could put on your tow bar in a holder.

It's a good thing you missed this year's Mormon cricket migration. There aren't just a few of them, they cover everything. You can hear cars running over them in the road. It's quite the experience.
