The End of Bus Life (Story 10)

[@REGRETLYSS]

!Attention! I did NOT leave or give up my dog Rio. Some of you are confused thinking she left with the bus. Absolutely not, that's my best friend right there. I was simply comforting her as she sensed we were moving out of the only home she's ever known with me. Rio is doing great and is right by my side, check out my newer videos to see. 🙂

Did you sell your RV, these are nice videos beautiful work!!!

[@FredBouck]

She and Rio well be together for ever

[@MJ-my9sg]

Awww Rio looked so sad bless his heart. He knows there’s a change happening. So sweet how you recognized it and comforted him. ❤️

[@got2flynow]

I think Rio would probably prefer to be referred to as She/Her. Rio is female.

[@glengamble526]

@@got2flynow yes. As we know canines are super-sensitive about gender pronouns 🙄

[@got2flynow]

@@glengamble526 Probably not. It was a joke. But if you are going to comment something, at least get the gender correct. Rio is a female.

Your journey, you have shared with your dog..... Your dog, who licked your tears, shared happiness and so much more...... Idd, the best therapist is your dog..... and the time! The future smiles at you

[@RandomGuy-jq3jz]

Dont pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. Many well wishes to you and Rio on your journeys to come!

[@rd6006]

Beautifully said! Praise God!

[@bobmariano3731]

Amen 🙏 & God speed

[@GoCruit]

These young folks seem to be looking for a way out of a world that provided them with no direction, no stability, dare I say confusion. They don't seem to be grounded,rather wandering aimlessly, talking about love, freedom, self empowerment, and uttering conflicting statements such as" in my isolation I find community". Trying to be free yet being pulled by the inate human need for relationships that God put in each one of us. Real relationships take time and effort...not a like or follower. Family is not a bunch of followers on social media you have never met. Seek real family, the family that God created. Anything else will come up short in its temporary state. Hope they find happiness.

[@jaysworld0007]

@@GoCruit I agree with the sentiment, but. I also feel God put us all here to touch as many lives as possible and to be role models for the next. The internet can be an evil cruel place. It can also be a beautiful place where like minded ppl meet. I don't see anything wrong with calling tht family as family isn't the ppl we share blood but the ones we chose. God bless 🙏❤️

[@aimlesslyrunning5127]

This was such a beautifully edited ending with the Bus. Great Job.

[@stanleyolszewski7701]

What a great video. I’m a grown 65 year old guy and the part of you and your dog was so touching it brought tears to my eyes. Good luck on the future

[@kadi611]

It was so touching it brought up some deep emotions for me. Tears.

[@ravenmaclennan3512]

I cried when you talked to Rio

[@monica77aguilera]

Omg rio comforting you & you with her was just too much 😭 but absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@yeahyeahd]

been looking back on older videos and i just wish i could go back and tell Rio how much she's gonna love her new home, that she's got nothing to worry about.

[@darnylrobinson3694]

I simply love you,I love your personality and your life experiences. Continue your journey you inspire me just watching you be free.❤

[@shirraalexander6366]

The love between you and your Rio is just magical! I cried. ♥️♥️♥️

[@melissahoffman4687]

Congratulations Tim and Nia on having Lucky as your new home!

[@shelbygreen5132]

This is my very first time meeting you, Rio and Lucky and I cried my eyes out.

[@NoCaping]

I know Dan did all the editing previously but you are doing a phenomenal job Lyssa ❤

[@Avise50]

When Rio was sad it made me cry. What a beautiful transition video.

[@106ave]

Look at you you absolutely radiant energy you're too beautiful to be human you must be celestial. You are an amazing Force

[@jamesjernigan4994]

Omg NOOOO... That scene with you and the pup was very tearful, my chocolate lab and I did that same head to head for many years before she past away. I called it her giving me brain power on my bad days. So sad to see the bus journey end, I wish you all the very best in life. You had really great words of wisdom that made my days watching your journey. Please keep safe, please keep up the videos... Thank You...

[@gabrielaarwen6476]

I cried with this video! I know you had an amazing start with the other bus, and I cannot wait to see everything, but because I am watching your videos by stories, I just saw myself watching and crying! By lucky! We all love you too!

[@chrissmart9625]

OMG TOTALLY WELLED UP I’m a 50 year old bloke wishing you an amazing onward journey 🙏🙏

[@B-SomeNonSense88]

wow.. what a story... you did amazing putting that together.. very few things make me cry.. i felt the love and emotion you put into that... i cried.. awesome video..

[@eddieventures]

Please tell me there's more adventures to come! Rio made my eyes water. I hope you continue on sharing your journies. Thank you!

[@Steve197201]

What a bittersweet ending to a long, adventurous journey. I hope Steph and Tim made great memories as the proud new owners of the Lucky Bus. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos to follow you on the next chapter in your life!

[@itsanorristhing3825]

The bond between you and Rio spoke to my heart when you both were at the couch and Rio,looked so sad and you were just reassuring her thing were going to be fine judt touched my heart so so so much! Your journey is far from over you have such a light in you and you a breathe of fresh air and love where ever you go! Your just a timeless spirits!

[@rick1862]

so ready to be allowed to come along on your next leg of the JOURNEY!!

[@Kat-n-Ollie]

ONG, I cried when you were comforting Rio. I just starting your videos. I can’t wait to watch them all. Much love to you and Rio. ❤️♥️

[@meg659]

Oh my goodness, that part with Rio and you comforting him was beautiful and sweet ❤️

[@AlishaLovesTravel]

Beautiful video on letting go. Wonderful timing on when i am watching your video. I am actually moving too, leaving our first ever home we built behind. So many memories here I am leaving behind. Your words about letting something we love go brings more love into our life, makes so much sense! Staying true to self and moving to a place that I know in my heart gives me the “tickle in my bones” : ) ❤️

[@richardwagner3317]

I thought I was going to cry within the first minute. You are becoming a great story teller. Best of luck with the new bus. Can't wait to see your new adventures.

[@matthaffner9920]

What a sweet moment wit Rio. Dogs are just the best. My little guy has gotten me through so much over the years. So glad he came into your life!

[@KelsAndJay]

Aww seeing Rio sitting there all sad had me teary eyed but it was so nice to see Lucky go to such amazing owners. Excited to see your next chapter, hoping we're in it! 😘

[@donnbailey2056]

Your editing in this episode was simply amazing!!

[@rayladd856]

Your stories and thoughts inspire me. I lost my fiance 2 months ago to cancer and have been feeling lost, thank you

[@deastover898]

Awe Rio knows your sad and he is so cute comforting you. Good bless your new home and bless you on your future journeys 🌼💕

[@aol328]

I never thought that a KZbin video could make me emotional. I've been binge watching your channel for the past day and a half and have been moved. Besides you being such a beautiful woman and a glorius soul, you are truly inspirational! Maybe life will have us cross our paths one day...

[@luouns]

You put that video together beautifully. I wish you every success

[@sherrysvesnik7711]

Bittersweet, but will be watching for updates on your journey. Tim & Mia are very fortunate to have Lucky & I am sure she will continue making memories!!💕

[@jimross7648]

Great job editing all the footage and scoring it to form a cohesive narrative. This was more than a bit of a project. Two years to 11 and a half minutes. The road and life await.

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

Speaking for myself, letting go is a weight lifted, a sense of peace. It's freeing. It declutters your mind and gives clarity. Love the piano music in the video too. 👌

[@ericsgonewanderin5455]

So happy to see you again. A very touching video. Keep being you through all the stories.

[@bambino3162]

I don't know if what I see is 100% the real person but if you are you have the most beautiful spirit. I wish I had the courage to do half of what you did. People like you are rare and most of all lovable.

[@cindydaugherty6237]

Wow, this was so beautiful and made me cry!!

[@DocumentedJourney]

I love following your adventurous life! So glad you are here in Colorado and can't wait to see the build and whatever else you care to share!

[@lilianhung1012]

So proud of you, so excited for what's to come, so sad to say bye to Lucky. Bitter sweet indeed, but cheering you on always. Love you Alyssa!

[@savannah-jaynehartigan7031]

This is my favorite video that you have created! I am not the type of person to cry and I had tears rolling down my face. I'm so happy for you! 🖤

[@stevenharris2502]

I’m crying cause this bus was so beautiful and it was your home on wheels I’ve really enjoy watching all your videos . I pray 🙏 that you’ll be back out their in no time. 🤗✌🏻🤟🏻💕🙏❤️😇

[@bevtrue6937]

Whyever did you sell Lucky? It is BEAUTIFUL. I love it. This was my first day discovering you and i binge watched most? of it and you sold it. Hope your channel name doesn't change. 😥

[@Brenda90210]

The conversation you had with your dog is so much harder with a sensitive and emotional 12 year old boy . We are changing countries soon . He is leaving everything he ever knew behind to follow me to my home country far far away . Change is exciting but also very sad and scary . Especially saying goodbye to childhood friends . But I’m going to help him stay in touch . I hope he can find new friends and new adventures in his new home in a new country .

[@wendywelch9626]

I just started watching I'm sad but excited for your new adventures...godspeed

[@sherreeharris419]

You are jyst the sweetest soul...and Rio melts my heart! I wish you both God's sweetest blessings on your new adventure..and pray that you bring us all along 💕

You and Rio have such an amazing and touching relationship. Great emotional, and inspiring video. Sad Rio really pulls at the heart strings and darn near made me cry. Excellent editing. I'm excited to see what you do with your next build.

[@invishand3]

Sorry but honest q: i Just caught this last episode: did Rio go w bus or stay w owner? Thanks!

[@aarontodd5164]

I know I’m a little late to the show. But that was beautiful between you and your dog Amen!

You are without a doubt the best life-story-teller on the web. I'm looking forward to the next page-turning chapter.

[@butcherknife59knife46]

Well it never a happy day to be getting rid of your wheels but it sounds like you have new plans. My first time watching. I too want to travel but I am taking care of my parents for now but my sprinter build is taking shape. I be checking your channel to see what your up too. Good luck with the new chapter. Around Bend Oregon out! Subbed

[@cherrette63]

You are the most amazing human EVER!! You've experienced far more life than Ill ever live and Im 57. :) Your just amazing.

[@Hermandbl7]

Very touching and beautifully told story of the milestone in your journey. Though I will never meet you, I feel like you are one of my best friends. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@tedwhiting6192]

Wow you are such a strong woman. I cannot say I am either a woman or as strong as you. Letting go has been quite a challenge for me in the past few years. I have lost a love which only comes around once in a lifetime. I don’t know if you believe in soulmates or twin flames but I lost the one whom I feel as my twin. I understand you can never actually lose them but she ghosted and doesn’t speak to me anymore. I feel her but she’s not there the same way. She doesn’t believe what I told her but I’m 99.9% sure of it. Too many coincidences. Well anyway I hope I can tell my story as beautifully as you have done. A strong of a love lost but not lost. But lost. ❤️ I wish you all the luck 🍀 in the world and thank you for sharing your story with all of us. What a journey it was.

[@BADMANMARTIN100]

What an amazing adventure!!, good for you to really get out thier experience life,love,and all the rest of emotions !!! Cheers 🍻!!!!!

[@chetrhodes3216]

That was such a great video. You have finished a chapter of your life and are now starting a new one. Good luck and THANKS for sharing. You and Rio go, Lyss!

[@aaronrogers4759]

Nice job on this video. It is both sad and exciting. As they say; bittersweet.

[@davclars7450]

I follow Ame in a van. I saw her followers was following you and I discover you in this video, but the end of an adventure between you, Rio and your Bus Lucky if i understood well. It was an emotionnal video, sad for you and Rio but sad for your bus... I often personify "things" but your bus was more than a thing. It represents a lot, a life. I never loved moments when my father sold his cars when i was young. I don't know what you're going to do now or what you are doing now. Whatever, i hope you're great. 👍😊

[@pamelarw58]

Thank you for sharing your journey I have happy tears for you! New beginnings with many years & love ahead! I love your very special relationship with your fur baby Rio! Stay safe & well! 😀💜💙🥂

[@CrixJoki]

Bittersweet end of this chapter, but I´m glad that you found the right people to find their own path with Lucky 💜 a new start for them on an amazing journey, as for you, I know it can be painful to close one door and say goodbye, even when you know its time to move on, even though (I´m sure you already have so much to look forward to on your next chapter) your new journey is taking form :) I have not been here from all the way back in the beginning, but obviously I´ve grown very fond of both you and Lucky, and I am REALLY looking forward to see what´s next for you, and all the new adventures and joys ahead :D 💜

[@fragilechords5118]

Just a little sad to hear they only plan on using Lucky from time to time on weekends or if they take a trip out of town. Sounds like she'll just be parked in Chicago most of the time.

[@scotegertson2300]

What a great video! Well done! Especially liked the end. Nice touch

[@ReviewsandTech]

WOW, that was so heart felt, and your dog is so cute, we truly hope to see more of your journeys down the road, I wish you the best luck ever. I also just love your adventures, bless your heart.

[@go4nobro773]

Awhhh love Rio. Very jealous Tim and Nia you are so Lucky!!!!! And you look really happy 😊 Marvelous!

[@fragilechords5118]

So sad to hear that Lucky will spend most of her time parked outside of an apartment in Chicago. Only to be used occasionally on the weekend to go to parks in the Chicago area. Other than trips to see family on holidays. "our plans for LUCKY are of the weekend kind. You can catch her in state parks near Chicago and taking road trips to see family for the holidays."

[@fragilechords5118]

This is the future, people need to start living instead of working just to keep a roof over their heads. It is especially perfect for 20 something singletons or a young couple, retired couple, older person on their own. GO FOR IT!!!!!! Anyone who is thinking about doing so, DO IT 🙌♥️💪

Poor Rio, change can be hard but also needed. 💙

[@xavier11963]

Bonjour Alyssa 😊 l met you, par hasard, at your story 33. Your smile, your eyes of course, but in the vanlife world, as all worlds finally, it doesn't sound enough to me. I start to listen your conversation, your thoughts, and l was seduced 😂 Vous êtes une personne très sensible, sincère, natural, and always surprising ! Vous êtes une belle personne très attachante. But you have something in more that make the différence with the others stories l did watch, you are a great photographer, and an excellent movie director ! Your nine first vidéos as the 33, they never get boring. And like this one, they are for me a little too short l enjoy so much 🤔😉 On this one, the final cuts with Lucky, there is many pictures that was not seen before. You probably keep them because they are more personal, l understand, too bad 😊 You say all your followers made you realize that you are not on your journey alone, it is also because you make us happy in our passion for the vanlife ! I will continue to watch the next step, en bleu 😊🖖👋🌞

They seem like the perfect fit for Lucky!

Aww...what a sweet moment with Rio. It's amazing how tuned in dogs are to whats going on in nomad life. 🐕💚 What a special send off for Lucky also. Ps...does your little toaster oven in there run off solar? How well does it do...pull a ton of power?
