watch this before you live in a van.

[@OutdoorsybyNature]

I think it's good to balance the glamour of nomad life with the real struggles of choosing to live and travel this way. Not gonna lie - the decision fatigue is what's kept me from going out these last few years as I've journeyed through chronic illness. In the end, I miss being out in nature and the peace that I used to experience while camping. I'm still doing van life next year. It'll just be part-time and will look very different to how I'd envisioned it before the health struggles. I'm believing that I'll experience some additional growth through the tougher bits!

LOVED this video! 😍 beautifully edited and very captivating 💞👏

[@Nikicampbell801]

You are an amazing filmmaker!

[@torielizabethprince]

Damn this video was SO well done Alex. Super inspired by you 👏

02:40 Why worry about tomorrow if it ends the day after tomorrow?🧐🧐🤷🤷😂😂😁😁✌️✌️

[@gabrielleszafir]

Omg yes! I make KZbin videos in a similar spirit as you and before moving to a tiny home in the remote west, we lived on the road with our two cats and THIS video is so spot on. I’ve also wanted to make a video just like this because the more real about our experience the better. The romanticisation of road life in general makes people so unprepared for what it’s really like and I think does a disservice to the community as a whole. Thank you for sharing this kindred spirit friend! ❤

The road life builds character. It also shows you how strong you are and how much you can endure. I think this lifestyle makes people appreciate some of the things that come so easy for us like water, electricity, and heat. Thanks for sharing. The nomad life is awesome. ~Ricky

As Joseph Campbell said “If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.” Good review of nomad life. Lovely images and solid production. Thanks for sharing.

I think vanlife must be very hard.... but a WHOLE lot better than being homeless.

[@AbNomal621]

Thank you partly because I feel somewhat validated in my annoyance with some channels constant attempts to inspire me. In the process they minimize or completely leave out the sucks moments. And honestly, I am glad some at least seem to enjoy producing videos of nomadic life. But it isn’t for me.

[@estherlongly6557]

Thank you for that beautiful summary, summation of your last few years! I also thank you for sharing about the Bluetti once again! My husband and I are looking for a solar generator and I appreciate all you have done to show me how it’s done!

[@ClairenParkerontheRoad]

I just couldn't make it work full time on the road. It is no slight to people who manage to but for me it didnt work out at the time. I wish some people who not get so defensive about getting off of the road. I found it hard to be productive. I still would like to go on the road for a time in the future, but holding a full time job in a vehicle isn't the most simple thing in the world.

[@Linneaandakela]

Such a beautiful film ❤

[@Notpublished]

It sounds like it has been a tumultuous year. I am praying for your 2025 and peace for you and your life choices.

[@estherlongly6557]

Part of made that video so sweet is that I remember content from those flash backs! 🤩

[@kirinketsz75]

Do you think if you had kept your truck and camper you would be in this position right now, or do you think your life would have continued easier and more likely to have stayed on the road fulltime when you knew you had a more reliable setup and similar home, Instead of the previous vehicles you tried to buy during school?

[@bentheredonthat9649]

Life has a way of bringing us to where we need to be & when. ❤

[@eyeswideopen7450]

first minute of this took 1 hour to edit...

[@billierussell2344]

I was so sad reading this. You always made it look fun and exciting. I would never had known from your videos that you didn’t love life on the road.

[@SheRoamsWild]

I did love it! It had its hard parts, but ultimately was so worth it and so much more than the surface struggles :)

[@rachelkelly7117]

I could tell 💯 bc she kept changing vans and was always seeming to be anxious

[@chrisheilman2128]

So many of the same mishaps, decisions etc .. that are needed to be made no matter where you live. You just had the opportunity to change your surroundings with all of this, rather than be stuck in the same place same "routine". And I am the BEST at putting off until tomorrow 😂🤣 Life is what we make of it. No matter where we are. Hope you are doing well 😁

[@ladikmk]

Life, however we live it, is a journey - and we should take that journey so at the end of our life we can look back knowing that it was well lived with no regrets. At the very least, we know we tried.

[@alohatvn]

Very nice video 📹. See you on the next one adventurer 😊😊😮😮❤❤.

[@RealProVanR]

What a great vlog. Thanks Alex.

[@Campingcarpenter]

Best video yet!!! ❤

[@Anna-zx4bo]

This really is a very beautiful video!

[@Banagal]

Van life brings many adventures, both good and bad. Change is vital to finding the right path to happiness.

[@estherlongly6557]

Hey! Question for you Alexandria! Do you think it is important to have the Bluetti model that has the 30w RV charging port?

[@jfplouz]

Bonjour à tous et merci pour la vidéo ❤

[@katarinakeca]

This is such a beautiful video!!! omg this edit with all the amazing shots. And SOO relatable. I’m struggling so much right now with finding a routine and creating stability. It’s so exhausting

[@GregHartwell-w3k]

Beautiful

[@edgarchegwin961]

Hi Alexandria, I am glad to hear you quit harsh VanLife. Welcome back to the real world, where are you living at this time, rgs

[@AuroraCalifornica]

I don’t ordinarily criticize the content creators I watch, but lately your videos feel like they are only being made as a placeholder for your brand partnership with Bluetti. I get this is your job, but no one is consuming KZbin for the ads. I was excited to see this video because the intro felt like it took a lot of effort, but the content felt superficial and once again like a long commercial for yet another power station.

[@atinynomad]

Have you thought for a second that without her sponsorship that maybe she wouldn’t be able to put food on the table or keep her lights on. She has stated several times in past videos that this is her full time job. I’m positive that she herself doesn’t love putting ads in her videos, but unfortunately KZbin is an incredibly unstable way to make money without a sponsorship. Not to mention she has lost an immense amount of views since quitting life on the road, so I imagine she is going through quite a lot and trying to figure it all out. We are all entitled to our own opinion though. And mine is that she deserves some grace while clearly trying her best to still put out content and make an income at the same time. I personally thought her editing on this video was top notch and loved the story. I do wish the video were longer but imo she still did a great job. Let’s lift people up instead of tearing them down. Have a nice day! ✌️

[@katienasiatka6365]

Well said @atinynomad! We love you She Roams Wild! ❤

[@goober9983]

Money is nice to have. Work six, vacation six. Perfect! 😊

[@Laura1221]

I can’t b out on the road for a while either, but I can’t wait for the little mishaps in exchange for the views!

[@dawnisedge797]

Amazing insight!

[@johncarter9054]

The views are the reward. The goal is living in the moment. Boredom cannot survive there ; )

[@katlynncok2]

That video was awesome . Do you still hear from Maddy? I hope you will continue to make KZbin videos .

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Wow I’ve been living in my truckslidin camper! 7 yrs! I can’t see myself moving back into a town or city!! So I’m just say goodbye!! I lived in town city most of my life!! Can’t watch you trying to turn off others with all your negativity!! Prayers are ongoing for you! Be Blessed in everything you do!!

[@SheRoamsWild]

haha not negativity at all! just honesty about the difficult bits, and at the end, a note about how great the road is & what makes it worth it :) good luck to ya though regardless!

[@estherlongly6557]

@@SheRoamsWild yes!! 🤩

[@nmfirelover]

Lots of complaining. You know what you are getting yourself into.

[@OriginalTLab3000]

Why do native English speakes have difficulties saying "Bluetti" and say "blue'etti" instead? It's simply "blue", like the colour, with "tti" added.

[@nancydwyer1726]

Lately youve filled this channel with negative being on the road talk. You've tried and given up on so many rigs, I'm tired of your changes in life. We all have to figure it out - what makes you any kind of expert?

[@jaygold4467]

Unproductive empty lifestyle. Things can always be done tomorrow??? Not.
