Remembering why I do Van Life! Solo Female Traveller

[@leeannefreeman2101]

We have all missed you and Abbey. It’s so lovely to see you back out there again. It’s no wonder you have needed to take some time, you have had a lot going on. I’m glad that you’ve taken the time to re evaluate your life and can now find some joy. Be kind to yourself, you are amazing ❤

[@strawberryroad1347]

I recognise the pain in your happiness, I always feel so much better when I'm out on my own like that, but it's a reseting of my nervous system, and the part before I'm back on track, makes my voice crackle like that, almost like static, and I feel like crying, just to cleanse myself, letting all my feelings flow thru my eyes and out of my body. And there are times I really wished I had someone special to share beautiful places and moments with.

[@robynshore7942]

I’m so glad you are back! I missed you and Abby🤗BIG hug!

Hi Breena, Im a 69 year old guy who has just recently bought a campervan. I retired seven years ago and moved from Canberra to a milder climate. I bought a nice house in a quiet neighbourhood. That was until the people next door got two barking dogs. I sold that place and got an apartment and then finished up with party people as neighbours. Ive reached the conclusion that i cant live in the 'burbs, hence the campervan. Im hoping that van lfe is peaceful.

Hi, we're in our 60s and live on a few acres, in an old house. Due to health reasons we need to downsize, and what scares and stops us from doing so, is exactly what you've written . Good luck in your travels

[@carolglew9065]

You are an inspiration.

[@pamelahirst9493]

💕🙏 Sending Love. Thank you for staying so real. xox

[@kenneth7610]

My bestie....awesome video as always!

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

You're the best!

[@Sage1212]

Hi Brenna... its wonderful to see you so relaxed and enjoying van life again especially after a difficult 6 months. Your art is beautiful and its wonderful to see you painting and sketching live on video. Fantastic video as always and Abby is looking gorgeous as always too. See you on the next one 😊🐾🌻

[@maureenosullivan7792]

Brenna it’s so nice to hear and feel your enthusiasm again. You were very missed. Cheers Mo xx

[@lonestarlaurel]

Please accept my condolences for your recent tough painful experiences and losses. So glad you are back with yourself and all of us again. Happy trails, stay safe. 🙏🏼🐾🎶

[@ShirleyCarnall]

Great seeing you smile again

[@Jodesnaturepics]

Glad to see you're now feeling happier Brenna. Abby is beautiful.

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

Thank you! 😊

If you’d like to try a fun technique, lay down some wet vibrant color and sprinkle salt on it. Then let it completely dry, brush off salt and you’ll see some interesting effects 😊💖

So great seeing you gals out and about again. Yep life can change in a moment- 3 months ago I fell when excitedly walking towards our new Ecoflow panels to check where they were at. Snapped my dominant arm's humerus in 2 with 2 plates and 12 screws following. Due to the stress Jan went in to an MS flare up BUT last week we returned from our 1st caravanning trip since my accident. Thrilled to be back on the horse and determined to not let this rule our lives. So grateful to see your vids on Ecoflow products as they give us joy and a freedom we've never had. Your video today has given us a huge lift as well as it tells us we all have those ups and downs in life and so glad you and Abby are also back out there enjoying this gorgeous Country. Take care gals, enjoy and safe travels. Lotsa love Mer, Jan and rescue Silky Arki, South Australia xxx

Love to watch you paint!

[@Tessienz]

You poor thing, ❤️‍🩹you have had a tough time. But glad to see you’re coming out the end of the tunnel into the sunshine and regaining your inner joy. Rain is not always convenient for travelling campers but our land sorely needs it. Hope you can get far enough north to avoid it. Stay safe on the road. I’m heading out in my van this weekend down to Potters Gorge and know that it will be a wet weather camp. But I’m not deterred. I’ll be carrying my joy inside me. 🥰.

[@coralieofjumpwithnofear]

Oh, goodness. You really did have a very rough patch for a while there, to say the least! I’m truly glad you’re out the other side of that and back to the life that suits you so well. ❤️ It was lovely to come along on this part of your trip with you. Thank you. And I loved seeing you paint for the first time! I’ve always seen your finished results, but never you actually painting. That was very cool. 😊

[@kimcharters1957]

Thanks Brenna for this video. The Stirling Ranges are as beautiful as I remember so it was a wonderful trip down memory lane for me. You look very happy.

[@ktcee803]

Hi, I completely understand. My brother passed away a little while ago and it's shaken my word. I'll never be the same. It's a journey, finding our way. If you're ever in Kalamunda, you're welcome to park up for a few days.

[@janelleroguski1282]

So great to have you back. Love your adventures. 😊

[@beverlyison8868]

Thanks Brenna, you inspire me soo much. You and Abby are great. Keep on having fun.

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

Thanks so much!!

[@deborahreynolds1552]

Your happiness shines through! Abbey, such a joy to see loving life, painting & drawing, fabulous!

[@cathycamden6604]

So lovely to see your joy. If the only thing you ever did was to look for the good and positive in life, you would have a very fulfilled and joyous life. Remember to only do what makes you happy, it’s a great barometer as to your alignment to your higher purpose. So glad to see you back…..so enjoy your enthusiasm for art. I find it so inspiring. Thank you ❤

[@SerenaAdamson]

Good to have you back, I really enjoy your videos. Wishing you all the very best.

[@janicecameron3688]

Lovely too have you back❤❤❤❤❤

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

Thank you! 😊

[@DebMoon17]

You helped me so much to do solo van life Brenna - you are so inspirational. I think that’s a great reason to keep doing it - to show people that nature is amazing, that freedom and feeling unfettered and alive is worth seeking. Ah-mazing scenery and painting! Dog bless! 🤗😘

[@bridgetoconnor7229]

So happy to see you doing great! The mountains were gorgeous, and your painting came out beautiful too!

[@jng66]

I really enjoyed your real-time painting, so much fun!

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

Good to see you enjoying things again, whatever they may be. (Of course, I admit I like following you around, so from me - I welcome your choice.) Carry on, have fun, enjoy life.

Love your art. The vibrant colors are lovely. Abbie is adorable.

Wonderful to see you and Abby living joyfully. The views were amazing, and so interesting to see your creativity come to life. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see you again soon!

[@LilChefKimi]

Sending you love and light from North Carolina. We would be friends for sure!

[@amandamccoy1165]

So glad to see you and Abby! Loved your water color. Glad you are enjoying being out again. Nature is healing.

[@fippy]

Looks like you are having a blast Brenna, I just watched your last video which was great. Take care and never stop having fun! Edit. We have a 4x4 set up for camping but we are going to sell that and buy a van to fit out so we can travel around Oz with a 2 cats....crazy I know but what is life without a bit of crazy!

[@soundslikesweeney]

Love to see the reconnection of joy and the fun of art and creativity!

[@JonTanOsb]

I hit that Like button even before I started watching. :) I'm a bit queasy today, so I had to close my eyes for the fast pans, but I watched everything else. Lovely sketching and painting and, of course, sweet Abby. Jon in rural BC, Canada

[@annettedavis9819]

Love your video's so truthful, as you are doing some art work, have a look at Richard Musgrave Evans a Aussie painter. He does amazing landscape in plain air in South Australia you can drop in and go to his studio as you travel around. Scott Swinson also a watercolour artist has some great u tube videos focusing on landscapes. Have fun I look forward to seeing more of your work and progress.

[@MaryBasterfield]

Really look forward to your videos thank you so much have a bought a van like yours for my adventures; might have to wait until weather is a bit warmer as live in Tasmania. keep up the fab videos ❤❤❤

[@yelenakozorezov6587]

Thanks nice video

[@susanrockliff2182]

Thanks for the lovely relaxing to watch video. I am always interested to watch you doing your art. I did quite a bit of drawing, water colour painting and more in the past and will take it up again at some point. I have never seen the water colour pen you used . It was most interesting to see you use it. Heres to a great rest of the year for you🎉

[@cu3714]

Hope you have done the Stirling Range Drive late afternoon. So stunning views at the mountains and great colours. I hiked up Bluff Knoll last December and although it took me 6.5h return (normally 3-4h) it was worth the suffering. Well but it was a one off and never again 😅

[@suzeehughes3688]

[@TheLittlerClan]

Lovely to see your enjoying the time spent taking in God's creation. Just wondering if you have time could you let us know where you bought your water paint brush and palette. Stay safe🙏

[@bill13690]

Great video there, Brenner 👍 I also have a 1984 Nissan Urvan diesel campervan. 5-speed manual column shift. I am from Mount Gambier South Australia. Never know, we could bump into each other somewhere on these road trips. I'm sorry to hear about what you have been going through lately. I also do have a KZbin channel myself. Bill's Channel - sta Once I've got my campervan from the workshops sometime soon, I should be planning on road trips myself soon. Please have safe travelling take care. From William.

[@mattiaslindstrom1137]

[@davidmcclelland9263]

You are champion BRENNA AND ABBEY TOO LOVE TO MEET YOU ONE DAY I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS. 😎

[@Jina_G]

Hi Breanna, hope you're well. I'm wanting to know where the gift of the solar panels came from, and what the wattage is? Hoping you can help me x

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

Hi, the solar panels are from Ecoflow and they are 220 watts each

[@melstephen5191]

💐💕💕💕💕💐

[@TheRubeeRose]

wow wow awesome video. I'd love to see you make a video on how you do these videos. I'm going to do some and it's kind of daunting. I mean, what equipment do you have. I see your dash cam running in this one? you have a iPhone for video recordings and I'd imagine a selfi-stick. Do you have a tripod? Any other equipment? What is your video editing software ... I know, so many questions ... enjoy!! and mainly /huge hugs

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

Thanks for the idea!

[@martinfinn674]

Yes! Be careful with your pets whilst travelling in Australia. 1080 baits will kill your pets. Children are at risk from this bait too!
