two van life strangers meet for the first time

[@TrentTheTraveler]

I'm so glad we documented the start of an awesome new friendship! This was so much fun! :)

[@Jeffreysuper61McELroy]

Hope to meet you two at some point!

[@carlosvergara8421]

One of my goals is meet this great man. It´s my inspiration for build my own van in the next years.

Make your move then move on.

[@blaineaf]

Referring to something you said in the video. Real men do show their emotions. We have been taught to cover them but it’s not right. Showing emotion is a sign of maturity in my opinion.

[@user-vz7uh6gg6r]

Put a sock on your bat! That way if you go to swing at someone and they try to grab the bat, the sock just slips off instead of them being able to disarm you.

[@Plantbasedsobriety]

this is such a good idea! ✌🏼❤️😁

[@f4ke884]

If someone can catch the bat when you are swinging, you aren't swinging hard enough.

[@DeborahLong7777]

Excellent idea!!!

[@pegleg2959]

Ooo thats so clever.

[@pegleg2959]

Ooo thats so clever.

[@MariaWelsh-lu6fg]

She is extremely soft spoken so much in fact she should be on film. Such a contrast within personalities but a unique bond of a friendship. She picked a great game. It got you guys to really open up👍

[@Tina-Faith]

Trent seems like a really great guy and friend

[@Ratchet_Patrick]

hes van lifing and gaming i follow him of the regular @Ballen1182

[@dannageil9610]

The chemistry is something else between the two of you.

[@ImmaSayKOOHWIP]

This is amazing. Two of my favorite VanLife KZbinrs, and inspiration for starting VanLife, in a single video.

[@zoegonzales9347]

literally all of your videos are so warming and connecting! You both were so open and honest with each other and with us and for that I am very grateful 💗

[@StephiLee]

Thank you so much!!

[@danithegemini]

I love this video. Feels like you’re so happy and free lately. Loving how open you are…

[@rigomortisfxstudios]

if we had more like you two the world would be a better place stay safe !

[@jessicat.5564]

I didn't think I was gonna enjoy this video as much as I did. I loved how honest you were in this video. Trent's energy is amazing and you both seem to have such a great chemistry (platonically) and just vibe so well with each other :)

[@JamieandMike]

I've never heard anyone else say they shake when they get into talking and having a convo. I do that! It's like I'm shivering but I'm not cold. Fun video!

[@Guenevere333]

I do it cuz anxiety 😶

[@JamieandMike]

@@Guenevere333 that definitely could be it with me too. I notice I do it when I get worked up or passionate about something also while talking. Basically any heightened emotion and im shivering uncontrollably. Nice to know I'm not alone. 😊

[@carolinebaker87]

@@JamieandMike I get this too, glad I'm not alone! I think it's from adrenaline

[@JamieandMike]

@@carolinebaker87 wow! There is a whole pack of us lol! I could see adrenaline being a cause for sure. The weird thing is though, I don't get it when I'm doing things that pump my adrenaline lol like jumping off cliffs. But maybe it's just channeled differently at different time 🤔 very crazy!

[@JamieandMike]

@Locust Hypnosis im so shocked it's this common. Lol. It happens to me all the time and I just assumed I was broken. 😂 or maybe we're all broken 😳😂

[@laurabuckley9219]

Trent comes across as such a kind and happy person

[@veniceangelique]

Damn apparently you can’t be friends with the opposite sex without people assuming there’s something going on 🙄 don’t listen to the people implying that. Love you stephi ☺️

[@StephiLee]

i love this video, two beautiful souls. i love the honesty

[@brittabaar4663]

It's official. I love you. No one loves rice krispies and they are my absolute favorite cereal. So many people put sugar in it and I think it's perfect just the way it is. Also I really enjoy Trent's energy. He seems like such a fun person.

[@PKTLFE]

Thank you for being so vulnerable in this video Stephi. I can relate to the shaking mid convo. That happens to me, I think it’s adrenaline\anxiety or something. I also find I hold my breath!

[@Rainamoon]

Ive been so excited for this! It’s so good to see you healthy and living it up 🧚🏽‍♂️✨🧡

[@Russellbeta]

Hey Flower, I hope everything's well with you and the little one :)

[@ChyChyLuvsyou]

You guys are an amazing mash up! So happy to see you doing good! ❤️

[@justcallmejessz3712]

12:20 Same dude, same. It's very hard to admit this to yourself. It's even harder to change. You are definitely not alone. 🥰

[@ImAPeople]

I'm glad you shared your story about being mute. Hearing your voice from when I started watching your videos hung me on your channel the most. Soft yet monotonous with a hint of hurried thought, almost uncertain but full of confidence 🫶 I can't talk very well anymore

[@Danrod96]

I've been watching Trent's videos for a while and I knew I recognized his face from somewhere but never could figure out where. Turns out I saw his band in like 2017 with a band called The Funeral Portrait. I only remember because I was blown away at how good they were live. What a crazy coincedence.

[@jamespayette7574]

Stephi….all your friends, family, and subscribers are proud of what you’ve accomplished…Jim

[@shutupstefanie1104]

Hi there, we met briefly at gutted! Your art is amazing. When I saw you share about the enzymes and your pancreas…..my daughter is the same! She had pancreatic cancer at 17 and a Whipple surgery. I’m gonna share this with her. Thank you for being so transparent 🥰

[@bluemoonshine6360]

I too have pancreatic insufficiency. Pancreatic Cancer. Havent been taking my pills. You encourage me to start up again.

[@triple_gem_shining]

So amazing to see stephi gain strength blessings to you!

[@alisonasmr2636]

I can’t believe how insecure everyones relationships must be to be so weird about this

[@1dkappe]

It’s an age thing. The younger you are, the more drama and instability you have. At some point you age out of that.

[@fishingboats7197]

I think all people who meet should do this . Wish I could be so open with someone like this .

[@margoburns9085]

I agree with your new friend, amazing artist, excellent content creator, and the more I watch your videos, the more I see what a compassionate, kind person you are.

[@Team-1-Solo]

I like to hear what isn't being said and feel what I can't see. I found so many gems in both approaches. Thank you.

[@floridaflipper6717]

I loved this video. I loved watching the "normally uncomfortable" get to know you questions be comfortable for you guys. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone else. I need to find that game. As always can't wait for more content.

[@blackmonday738]

My gosh He's stunning!! # van life I need to get out there!! As Always Miss nice seeing you..🦋

[@BeatrixBetwixt]

Trent seems like he’s be a cool friend. He seems nice & genuine. I’ll check out his channel even though I’m not a gamer. Great video Stephi. Also now I’m craving Thai food lol I could live on all that!

[@dalebecause2467]

I love Stephi's smile.....and she is so very pretty...

[@JasonStutz]

Glad I found this, I like watching Trent and Stephi seems really laid back and nice.

[@walesu.k.2108]

I could watch these 2 all day! ❤️✌🏻life is so stressful these days for me and I’m sure a lot of people - watching you Gems took that away for a moment - so much Truth that is said 🙂

[@jennj3537]

This is a really cool and fascinating video to watch-I am really enjoying seeing two people just genuinely open up to each other something really wholesome about it

[@youfinallyfoundwaldo1364]

I think I heard you say you’re from a small town, Stephi. I can definitely see how small town social dynamics would make a young girl, especially with CF put up a wall. It’s definitely very different than regular sized towns or cities as it’s so very invasive like everyone knows everything about you and untrue rumors tend to be the entertainment of the area. Vanlife is such a sweet remedy!

[@teresc3280]

Living with intention. Using words intentionally. Leaving out all the details that don't matter, minutia. Is what I like. We don't have a long walk here, so wasting time causes anxiety. That's how I feel. Straight up truth. Transparency. All that works for me.

[@fuckzombiesdropdead]

Stephi ilysm 😭👏🏻💕 I too speak very quietly, waitresses and public service employees are always extremely rude to me. That is honestly what caused my social anxiety to skyrocket without my knowledge. I shake as well when my anxiety creeps around, sometimes if I get too hyped up about something or excited, I do the same. Idk. Anxiety is weird and I feel like we’re buds now. ✌🏻

[@bardarians]

Sending prayers you'll be ok ❤

[@winnie2222]

This was really really good Stephi! I do the shaking thing too. I think it is anxiety. I'm a pretty anxious person but even when I don't feel anxious- when talking to ppl, I'll notice I start shaking. I think it's just nerves? (even when it doesn't feel like nerves?) Anyway, sending lots of love!

[@Jay-nf8fm]

Great post , good to see u in happier times .. I think you:re amazing Stephi.. 💜🌞

[@chocolatemaniac337]

Stephi! I haven't watched your videos in a while but you popped up today so I figured I'd see what you're up to now and I gotta say, your voice sounds amazing! I've alwags loved your voice but you speak much more clear now, you sound so much healthier. Amazing. Ily ❤

[@Dempseyniamh]

Stephi! Sometimes when I talk a lot I shake too. And I also disassociate in social situations not always but sometimes 🙂 So thank you for sharing, nice to know Im not alone 🙂

[@tschandraheinze1680]

I really enjoyed hearing you exsplain about you and Morgans relationship, I feel like its so healthy and so important. This is cool I liked the game. You 2 are great. Good for following your hearts. Hellos from Wasilla Alaska, Tschandra

You guys were great together. Very chill and higher energy is a good balance.

[@MamaRobynR]

I like him so much.

[@roberthose8686]

Hey Steph, im I the process of converting a van, so I watched a few of your videos. I'm glad your health is hanging in there. I didn't know much about CF, and since I watched a few of your videos I've educated myself on it. I hope your family has a beautiful Xmas. You have a beautiful soul, God Bless

[@rakadoni8403]

When I have a really real conversation and share more than I usually do I start to shake too , I think it's really special :) edit: it's sad that people assume you can't have a friend based on their gender or your relationship, me and my bfs friends are all really close and honest but I have been in a relationship where I 'wasn't allowed' to spend time with my best friend because he's male. Jealousy and assumption is not healthy, if you don't trust what's even the point !

[@DonJericson]

Holy crap haha Trent! I loved how it was so chill meeting each other and your background music is so calm. God bless you, peace.

[@polarbear2014]

Loved this. I enjoyed both parties being so vulnerable and authentic with each other.🧡💕great vid Stephi!

[@willowway42]

"Because we like punk music..." As an 80s punk music follower, that means more than you might know... 😉👍🤗❤

[@Yotrek]

In 2020 I discovered I have a genetic variant for selective mutism (situational mutism). I become mute under stress. It has caused considerable hardship. I get it. Spending ones life wondering why, and now that I know, being embarrassed about past experiences. Acceptance and learning to let go is the only path forward. We all are battling things we don’t yet understand. Be kind.

[@kentuckynanasaves1903]

@Locust Hypnosis makes perfect since , my daughter I adopted had it growing up. It was hard for others to understand. When she needed to talk she couldn't but when she shouldn't, she'd blurt out Things ❣️... It was hard, id often have to let teachers know cause they dont read files like they use too shes 23 now, gettin' married next year, n has a lil farm on her land thats great therapy too ❣️.. although depression is goin on now, due to the passing of her biological parents this year jus 5 months apart 😭❣️... To be expected, they were both in 40's , but selective mutism is very different in many ways n jus want to let others know they're not Alone ❤️💜❤️❣️ I have anxiety, Depression, agoraphobia, n PTSD , so public is very hard to do🤦‍♀️💭 im home in 🏡 alot 😭❣️... My husband is too tho so we help each other most of the time ✅❣️

I like the fact that Trent said he loves to show his emotions and that men need to be men not show emotions etc it's so true men really need to open up we are all human.

This was fun to watch. Made me think of what my own answers would be to these questions.

[@ingridlou5041]

2 beautiful humans 🙌🙌 !! I remember briefly meeting ttthefineprint at a truck stop in Georgia. He initiated the conversation too so I knew he was a go-getting spark! Our convo was short though becuase we were both feeling miserable in the pouring rain with 2 leaking vans. I later checked out his work and was very impressed with his visual storytelling

[@MariaWelsh-lu6fg]

On a fun but maybe not so fun note: We should all try to guess the answer to Trent on what his greatest fear is. I think Stephi was spot on when she said it was love related but I believe it's to not only find that right person to share his life with but also to start a family. I could be way off but I think so.

[@HomemakerDaze]

He seems so nice

[@thedaggonator]

Ive found that you need a balance. I don't bottle up my emotions, but I don't let them control me. I have found that extreme stoicism is the answer to most my mental problems.

[@karenzielke9898]

After a while of talking to someone, I dont shake persay, but I start getting panic attacks and forget to breathe. It's almost like I'm spinning alot, while holding my breath. That's my anxiety, it sucks

[@MaverickEchoJuliet]

She's a really spiritual chick. You both should move in the same van together as a couple❤

[@CoddiwompleAdventures]

Oh my God y’all did a video together!! . I watch both of you guys. I’m at lunch right now and I got to go back to work. I’m pissed!! I got to wait to watch.

[@RianShafer]

Talk about a chance meeting changing your whole life, here's a nutshell version. I was on a dating site, a troll guy got me to go to a different one where he supposedly had all his pictures etc. I signed up but couldn't find him a & 4 guys hit on me instantly. (I quit it the next day) One really got my attention even though I was sure he wasn't my type. We have been together 24/7/365 for 12 years & married 5. We are so opposite in all but what matters most, both Cancers & truly the yin/yang of that. Always choose someone you can talk freely & truthfully about anything with & be comfortably quiet with. How cool it must have been for two just to hang out & have a good time playing the game. I hope you've stayed friends.

[@liamodonovan6610]

[@KatjaBozic]

I shake too, sometimes in the middle of conversations, and I get hot and I blush and sometimes my voice shakes and I sometimes pronounce words wrong… and I notice one more thing, you kind of reposition yourself a lot, like you are not really comfortable, that is anxiety too, and I see it because I do it too. Well… as long as it is not stopping you from doing things at all, then its fine :) you are awsome and an inspiration, I am very happy that you started posting videos again, they make my days :) ❤️
