Tired Of Travelling & Met Mari Johnson | Te Anau

[@mari.johnson]

It was so good meeting up! Thanks for the caravan tour and we'll have to catch up when I get back from the long walk!

[@TravellingK]

Yes, so glad both our timings worked out like that. Seriously can't wait to follow along on your epic hike!

[@WheresPoppy]

I feel exactly the same way! I'm honestly exhausted from traveling and feel like I need a break. This video was really nice to watch, it was honest unlike so many videos out there and it was really nice to have someone to relate to, so thanks!

[@TravellingK]

It's a surprise reaching that point where you don't want to travel any more, isn't it! Hope you've had a chance to recharge on your travels.

[@vicmiller7191]

Yes it does sound like you need a few days to just breathe for a day or two, great thinking Lady. And good interview. And Girl i think you just need to stop and Rest for your self...please rest...Vic

[@mytravelhub2977]

I've always wanted to do time on the road in a campervan/motor home. Thanks for the great videos..keep them coming.

[@TravellingK]

Glad you enjoyed it Sanjay! Yes, highly recommend time on the road

[@mytravelhub2977]

@@TravellingK I'm planning on visiting Invercargill soon. It will be a good chance to loop the whole South Island. Do you use free sites or mainly Holiday Parks?

[@chrisandrachelbruhn7882]

Wow what a stunning end to your video. I’m pleased you got your mojo back and took that drive - so so worth it! X

[@TravellingK]

Yes, I'm so so glad I drove out! There's something so uplifting when you experience something like that.

[@HelenBeeee]

Sometimes there is a need to be still......your body lets you know when its time......and Im glad you did because that other place you went to is unbelievably beautiful. Thanks for sharing your travels with us.

[@TravellingK]

I think I need to really listen to what my body is telling me. Yes, so so glad I went to that other spot instead.

[@RicoResolves]

Great vlog! Never seen this channel before but I'm glad I did now! This is why I love KZbin!

[@TravellingK]

Great to hear! Glad you've been recommended this video by KZbin 😀

[@TinyHouseTruckLivingNZ]

Yes I agree it can be tiring. Trying to get your work finished to then drive does not leave much time for unwinding. Everyone needs chill time. It's OK to relax 🙂

[@TravellingK]

I do need to keep repeating to myself that 'it's ok to relax'!!

[@lizleonard3681]

Hi Karen good interview hope you feel yourself soon 🥺

[@TravellingK]

Glad you enjoyed it! Mari is lovely. I did take a bigger break after this video and recharged 😀

[@louie888888888]

WoW looks super place to be near the water and the views are just to die for . Keep the videos coming

[@TravellingK]

It's really my favourite part of NZ!

[@pageant1fd]

Slow down Karen and drink in those awesome surroundings more. We had a rediculously tight schedule years ago touring South Africa in a motorhome and we regretted it as we were so shattered on our return to UK,and realised we should of reduced the " must see " places and enjoyed the remainder more in depth.You've opted for this wonderful way of life of exploration and will gain much more from that choice if you take time and relax perhaps with a few G &T's !!🍹🍹🍹 Take care !

[@TravellingK]

That is so true... sometime we just need to slow down and take it all in.

[@hughelvin5509]

It does the sole good to just chill every once in a while. love your easy going Vids.All the very best H

[@TravellingK]

Yes, chilling is needed sometimes 😀

[@brighton_dude]

Travelling is exhausting. It's very good to have a break and, as you say, a recharge. It looks like a great location for a recharge as well. It was lovely seeing Mari Johnson I didn't know her before. I'm going to check out her channel.

[@TravellingK]

Mari is lovely! And yes, so surprising how travelling is tiring.

[@eyelidman09]

Hello Karen, I’ve taken the road from Te Anau to Milford sound, and it’s an absolutely breathtaking journey - really worth it. Do allow yourself time to rest and think and decide what you want to do next. Continually travelling can take its toll. Take stock and be kind to yourself. Peter. P.S. I didn’t see the whole video and realised you’d decided against Milford sound. No problem as NZ is still stunning wherever you go.

[@TravellingK]

It's funny that I didn't make it to Milford Sound as I've been a few times now and it's my favourite part of NZ!! I'll just have to go back...

[@RGC198]

Hi Karen, Wow!! I actually originally found your channel after Mari mentioned it on her KZbin channel, to which I also subscribe. I didn't realise that you both interviewed each other. Mari is currently walking the PCT in USA. Anyway, take care. Robert.

[@TravellingK]

Really? That's awesome. Yes we did interview each other. I've been following along on Mari's hike - such an epic adventure!

[@RGC198]

Actually, the way Mari arrives in your video from what appears to be the wilderness looks quite impressive. LOL I am also following Mari's PCT hike.

[@Kelle001]

Mari is so lovely. So glad you met up.

[@TravellingK]

Yes, she is truely a nice person😀

[@VintageTrailerMagazine]

I hear ya sister! I love the road tripping life too but I run out of “travel steam” sometimes too! Kia kaha! 😍

[@TravellingK]

It really is crazy how that can happen, isn't it!

[@caravanwullie7339]

Had me worried there with ur headline x

[@TravellingK]

😂Sorry for the scare!

[@vicmiller7191]

And what a view at the top. And the Spanish moss was really cool we have that in many parts of the South...🙂😉

[@TravellingK]

It was well worth the walk!

[@FresnoJoe2]

Amen~!

[@dynaflo88]

take those moments,,,,when you are tired.......to discover what makes your heart yearn....

[@TravellingK]

Yes, taking care of my mental health is important... slowly learning that I can’t travel too fast for too long!

[@LibbyWithnall]

It's sounds like you need a holiday :-). Are you able to stay put for a bit and rest up? Enjoyed meeting Mari - she seems pretty awesome. Wow - that walk was stunning.

[@TravellingK]

Luckily I find a great campground to recharge at soon. Mari is really lovely.

[@tspacefullstop4161]

Glad you're having a rest period. Listening to yourself is so important. 💯🙋 I'm reading 'Wild' by Cheryl Strayed so subbed to Mari's channel. 🎒🔙🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

[@TravellingK]

Perfect timing with Wild and Mari's channel! I can't wait to see how Mari goes. And yes, I really do need to start listening to myself more often I think.

[@gkuk]

Hi Karen, Hang in there it will pass ❤️

[@TravellingK]

Thank you - I took a good break after this and recharged 😀

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Great honest vid TK u need some hot Hawkes Bay sun lass 😎 happy to continue my wee donation to your travels keep going girl nice to meet Mari too 👍🏼

[@TravellingK]

haha, I've finally got some sunshine now. And really appreciate your contribution! Hope the Hawkes Bay campground is treating you right. Yes, Mari is lovely.

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Travelling K gotta keep that vit A topped up 😎 yeah dix place is sound great wee place 🚐 safe travs mate

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Hi Karen, I'm very like yourself I always listen to my gut instinct and it's got me through life so far, never ignore your sixth sense if you're blessed with this instinct use it it's always been good for me, nice vid you both look good together, travel safe

[@TravellingK]

Glad you agree! It's worked for me so far :P

[@michaelhodges2448]

Very nice place did you see her van

[@TravellingK]

No I didn't end up seeing Mari's van! Hopefully one day 😀

[@Dan_Beed]

That is a great pie shop👍

[@TravellingK]

They seem to have real chunks of meat in them!

[@Dan_Beed]

When I was there I was vegetarian so only eat that one type 🥴👋 I have since been back for a chicken pie and it was good👍

[@recumbenttriker6218]

I'm one of Mari's subs she and Nick have talked about a micro house. From what Ive read even those cost a lot. I'd love to see Mari and Nick in a van, camper or some such there's a lot of freedom in such a lifestyle 🤔

[@TravellingK]

That’s great to hear! I believe they have a small caravan? Loved her recent epic hike.

[@sidlewis3954]

Hi Kay , just wondering are you still coming to the U.K this year. ?? Would be great if you could make Tourerfest 19 and meet a load of Utube vlogers. 😘😘

[@TravellingK]

Yes, I am making it to the UK, but unfortunately miss Tourerfest! I'm there in July and August 😀

[@samcassidy001]

Yup have a rest and stay at a place for a wee bit longer. Know how the feels having to move while working. Sometimes you've got to listen to your body and re energized ☺

[@TravellingK]

It's surprising how tiring it is. And learning where all the facilities are and what food the local supermarket has.

[@dontask8979]

Let the binge watching begin. Subbed. 👍

[@TravellingK]

haha that's awesome to hear!

[@fazlindale5300]

Hi hope you feel better soon. Did u ever have the gas detector fitted? I read an article recently about a woman that was feeling tired nd listless for a long time nd Dr's couldn't find out what's wrong. Untill she had some renovations done to her house nd the workers found that she had a gas problem that was affecting her health. Forgive me if I'm being forward...

[@TravellingK]

That's really interesting to hear... I did get a gas detected fitted in the end, so luckily doesn't seem that.

[@brianatkinson4484]

👍😂. Keep your chin up. & take notice of your body, if it’s asking to slow down. Don’t ignore it, go with it, love from 🇬🇧

[@TravellingK]

Thank you Brain 😀I do need to be kind to myself I think...

[@jesusmota5158]

Hi k! From Dominican Republic.

[@ellexpress111]

Time to just be is so important

[@TravellingK]

I like that... I find when I hike in beautiful surroundings, that's when I daydream and just be.

[@CazPea]

You do an awful lot, what with work and travel. Driving is tiring in itself. You deserve a nice break. Enjoy it while you can. Stunning scenery, that was worth the up hill hike 🌈

[@TravellingK]

Yes, driving and travelling is surprisingly tiring! And the views where epic!

[@flybyairplane3528]

Karen, Hello, tired ,,eh, I just realized what it is both of you were drinking, I sampled it in supermarket, and it’s expensive,,and it’s from AUSTRALIA, I did not thing any good for the JINGER ALE , though Enjoy, , Cheers From NJ..USA🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@TravellingK]

haha, a normal drink for us as Australia isn't too far away.

[@trailerparksupervisor7046]

Nice to see 2 women drinking beer.

[@TravellingK]

😂It's actually Ginger Beer.... but I like beer.

[@ImaginaryKiddo]

Brought to you by Bundaberg! ✌🏻

[@TravellingK]

😂😂We realised half way through and joked about it.

[@maureenmcgrath4664]

Might be worth getting your thyroid blood levels checked, you never know. Also I reccommend taking a Magnesium supplement such as Naturalcalm. Its a magnesium citrate powder you can dissolve in your bottled water and drink throughout the day. Its a very important mineral for the body to make energy and most people are deficient. It has many many benefits. Dr Caroline Dean wrote the book " The Magnesium Miracle". Many videos re magnesium benefits on KZbin. Look for one which features Dr Dean if possible. Hope it helps.

[@TravellingK]

Hmmm ok, if I keep getting tired, maybe I'll get checked. Thank you!

[@gregbolitho9775]

not bad m8, must be alot of spiders to have that many webs. stay safe, vertical an well.

[@TravellingK]

Luckily I didn’t see any!

[@entertainmentchanneloz1509]

8:40 food plays a major part on how the body feels :)

[@TravellingK]

I think this time it was travelling too fast... ran out of steam.

[@entertainmentchanneloz1509]

@@TravellingK yes and that steam is fueled by what we eat :) hence why at a petrol pump they have 91 fuel 95 fuel amd 98 the 98 is best for your car and improves engine performance and distance traveled; )

[@acafwd]

Try some Berocca! ;-)

[@TravellingK]

haha might need to try that 😜

[@daddybob6096]

Hi Karen, Mari seems a nice young lady, just like you.

[@TravellingK]

Oh, Mari is lovely! Just the nicest person.

[@williamcox9632]

i lost my visa card and when i get my new one will continue making donations to your great adventure. Im planning a 4wd trek in the south island in winter can i still do this without seeing too many tourists and freedom campers! can you help with a travel plan Cheers Will

[@TravellingK]

Appreciate that!! Yes, happy to suggest a few places. I think you definitely can - particularly in winter. I think the main tourist places are Queenstown, Te Anau / Milford Sounds, Mt Cook, then little pockets dotted around. Send me a message and we can talk more.

[@krippleinacaravanxxx707]

My prediction you gorgeous darling. Take a very long break and recharge You deserve the best xxxxx

[@TravellingK]

Thank you! I did take more of a break after this and recharged.

Hi K When you come to the UK you need to try a Pukka pie they are the best. 😍🍜

[@TravellingK]

Ohhh Ok, I'm intrigued. Any certain place to get them from?

[@vauxhallmechanic]

@@TravellingK any supermarket sells them 😍

Burn out?

Maybe nearly....

I love ypu❤❤❤❤

[@rogerwileman8399]

Why do travel so fast moving every two day does take it out of you .You will have to learn to so DOWN !!!! . This is what my wife and I had to do when we traveled around europe . Just have a good rest then you will be OK

[@TravellingK]

Yes, I do think I was travelling too fast. Just lost my interest in exploring more! I've done this same thing when I raced around South America trying to fit it all in.

[@marieJmarsham]

That face K! It's a grimace 😁

[@TravellingK]

hehe, can't have too many boring smiling thumbnails 😜

[@igrand6473]

Driving can take alot out of you, specially with towing a caravan.

[@TravellingK]

Something that's taken me a while to realise!

Collaborating now....go girl.

[@TravellingK]

I'm hoping to collaborate more while in the UK too 😜

Your better having longer periods time to chill before moving around to the next site.

[@TravellingK]

I’ll agree! I need to learn to travel slower...

[@ms.gutierrez6294]

Get the travel bug back lol !!

[@TravellingK]

It eventually came back😜

[@kerrylaw100]

You need to rest couch out read sleep and eat treats movies and sleep ... then go again x

[@lisawells-baker3208]

Driving is tiresome...... isn't easy....you need to book in rest...or shorten your travel times....your amazing.....love you I'm ending my lease in 10 months if not before..and going nomad...I've been watching you and bob wells on cheaprvlivng channel.....for relaxing music, I found a nomad in America he has his own website...he's a great artist and musician really out there but his music is relaxing check out uniballon.net

[@madeinmichigan6773]

This lifestyle is a passing fad. Most ppl that try this last approx 2 yrs max. The classifieds are full of vans, RV'S and motorhomes for sale. More than ever that has been for sale all in one time. Unless you live offgrid and can have no need for amenities than you may last longer?

[@TravellingK]

I've already passed the average 2 year mark then 😀I think it's easier if you have campgrounds that start to feel like other home bases. Long term, having a bit of land somewhere might be nice.
