Where I've Been... (let's chat) // Van Life & Overseas Travel

After leaving the van, Akela, and Chris & Kobuk behind for 3 weeks in Peru, I returned to the states feeling renewed and inspired. However, February threw a few challenges my way, which has delayed some big plans for big videos... I talk about it all here, and I am so excited to be back with you all!
Thanks for being here :)

[@Linneaandakela]

[@BobBohner4851]

Does Chris have a channel?

[@BobBohner4851]

You act so very grounded and I know that’s important for me too. Congrats on your execution. Very sorry about your grandma. It’s tough. I resonate with your feelings as I’m 80 and found your feelings to be the important grounding. You’re very cool.

[@BobBohner4851]

Ps a couple of utube channels got shut down in the last two weeks and content destroyed so make sure to back your stuff up.

[@joycebarber-krauss2539]

I love your spirt. You are so connected with yourself it is inspiring. I turned my granddaughter on to your channel. She is also a traveler and does so alone much of the time. I hope you stay true to yourself. ❤

[@tammygruse7569]

Thanks for the update. Can’t wait for the new videos. Missed ya. Hope you have an amazing day….

[@Breakable_Pencil]

I can’t speak for everyone obviously, but personally I would so much rather get to see less frequent videos, knowing that you are getting the time to tell the stories you want, and also to do that in a way that is sustainable and mentally healthy for yourself. I feel so much gratitude for all that I’ve gotten to see and learn through your channel, and I love that you prioritize the quality and meaning of a video over a super strict once a week schedule. Thanks for all that you do and share :)

[@pennybolstad3925]

You just be you and live happy we love you guys❤

[@deandramowers4178]

I agree with everything said above!! ❤❤

[@deslyons1616]

Hi Linea you have to put yourself and family first. Sorry for your loss, even though you knew it was coming it's still a big shock. Take care and take time out. Look forward to seeing the video of Peru when you get around to posting. Also look forward to seeing you developing your new Homestead.

[@Texasishot105]

Eye eye, what they said! ❤️🐾❤️🐾

[@jackiemontogmery125]

Some people are just jerks! I watch your channel to see you & your sweet girl. I'm 74 & have mobility issues. You take me places I can never go. You are an amazing young woman. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your Grandmother. Grammy from Texas

[@doreenb3411]

So glad to see you settled back into life with Chris, Akela, Kobuk and friends. I’m a fairly longtime subscriber and have always appreciated how real and genuine you are. I am so sorry that you ever receive any negative comments. No one deserves that but unfortunately some can’t seem to see the damage they can cause with caustic comments. I’m glad your Peru trip was amazing and can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on for you and all of us. I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother and wish peace and healing for you and your family. This is the love you asked us to send. I’ll send more elsewhere but you definitely deserve it too. 🫶

[@user-uk6yz1my8h]

Linnea, you're one of the kindest souls, and I love how sincere and genuine you are. You allow us to come into many parts of your life. We don't have to be involved in all of it. We all need time to unplug and connect with spirit. Those who don't do this will not understand those of us who do. Keep being you. I appreciate being able to follow your journey with Akela. Love learning about the special people in your life and so looking forward to watching you discover your property. ❤ You're doing great. Blessings to your grandmother.

[@ancientwolf3811]

No one deserves hate and anger in our lives. We need more love, kindness and respect.

[@sherryspectre217]

Bravo! ☮️❤️🌱

[@jessbahr9507]

It still amazes me the way people behave towards creators. Thank you for being so authentically yourself and sharing your world with us, despite how despicable some comments are. Watching your content always makes me feel connected. I don’t have many people in my life that view the world the same way I do and hearing your perspective always makes me feel validated. I can’t wait to see your upcoming videos!

[@karenaureli9361]

You are a truly amazing and beautiful person, inside and out. You have been an inspiration for this 59-year-old woman who’s planning to make a huge life change soon. Never let other people decide who you are. ❤

[@gbella6376]

First off let me say thank you, for being so real. Also condolences for you snd your family on your grandmother’s passing. It’s unfortunate that you get any negativity from people and sad that they feel they can judge or comment on anything you share. I would like to send love and positivity to you all and huge gratitude. I personally have been going through an extremely difficult time for the past 4 years and since I found your channel it has been a real blessing to watch and be a part of your journey. It gives me time away from my own thoughts and allows me to breathe and feel a sense of peace to see all the beauty of how you live. Who knows I may even get to experience something similar in my future. Please keep doing you and again thank you. Big hugs to you all from me and my giant dog ❤🐾

[@martinevanheijnsbergen8929]

[@JLTravels]

I get it completely & understand vulnerability- your vids & path is yours alone - what anyone else thinks belongs to them. You be YOU!

[@hollyo9504]

Linnea - thank you for sharing your life with us. Don’t ever allow mean people to get you down- it is not about you, but about their own insecurities and their own lack of fulfillment. You and other people doing the work to live their dreams are just easy targets for the haters because you are in a public forum. Always know they are many, many more people that appreciate you and are inspired by your journey. I have had a rough 3 years, and people like you and others on you tube have shown me a way of life I never thought possible. At 52, I am reinventing my career again and setting out on an adventure as a park ranger / manager. Your thoughtful introspection has made me reflect on my own life and the things I was always drawn to (outdoors, camping, travel). Though I am not able to travel full time in my RV yet, this new job will at least have me in that environment, albeit on a local basis inside my state. However, I am grateful to have the opportunity to do that in anyway possible. You continue to inspire me to be better, and go for what I think is impossible. Can’t wait to see your new journey!

[@JudyRose-sj8yj]

So so sorry about your Grandma. Prayers for you and your family

[@DonMcConaughy]

Thank you for putting yourself out there, that's why most of us are here! Make your videos the way you feel good about them, those of us that care will love them

[@NanaKelly762]

So wonderful to see you back. I’m a new subscriber and have gone back 3 years to watch your videos. You are an Amazing Human Being 😊. Do what makes you happy. You are inspiring others to live their best life ❤🌵🌱🍄

[@agnesskibicka]

@NanaKelly762, hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱 and mindful life by Agnes 😀-channel and countryside 🐕!

[@omavicmcmurray2893]

I just love how Akela often gazes into the camera while you talk, and today was no different but I belly laughed at Kobuck!!! That boy loves you so much!❤ and wants to be a part of the show too!!! Thanks for including both of them. What I want is an episode about a girl and her two dogs and her magical desert… with Chris popping in too( hahaha)! ❤ thanks for filling us in, I did wonder what’s up but I know you are you and were probably being you and would show up once you brushed your dust off and would deliver a heartfelt video when ever you were ready. It’s all good, just keep being you, we’ll wait.❤ we love you!

[@jimdavis9275]

I can’t even begin to believe anyone can watch your content without falling in love with you and your content. It’s awesome and so are you!!!

[@deborahallford7337]

Oddly enough, Linnea, it's when we can lean into the storm, we learn THAT'S how you actually get THROUGH it... Stronger for your fortitude and spirit of remembering "to always endeavor to persevere." 😊

[@marirose19]

@deborahallford7337 This is one of my favorite comments. I loved it when Linnea mentioned her discovery of leaning in to the challenges of life (paraphrasing). Thnx for being part of the family.😊

[@Java-Junky]

First, I send you my most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Grandmother. ❤ Next, thank you for all of your hard work, Linnea. I am SO happy to hear you will be bombarding us with more videos. They must take up a decent portion of your day and I appreciate that you give your time for us. What makes me even more happy, is that you’ll now make videos for *you*. For those of us that have watched your videos from the beginning, we can see you for you. At least I do. I see you in your videos. From your music choices to your bloopers (man I LOVE those bloopers) I believe a piece of you comes through. Enjoy being a ‘city slicker’ for a while. 😉

[@Hazelnut71]

You are always a delight! I'm glad you're back to posting. 🥰

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

I would block trolls if you tube has that feature. If they don't have that feature, maybe for me I wouldn't read the comments. There are a lot of celebrities that don't get into the gossip or comments written about them. Always remember, this is YOUR channel, do what you desire. I love just watching. For everyone else, maybe we need to let trolls know what we think of them!

[@jenniferschmidt1243]

I don’t have the words right now to express my gratitude for you and your videos!

[@________8756]

We also have control over how we react to life. You do a wonderful job of reacting positively; you've been very encouraging in your van life. You don't have to be so positive and strong all the time, producing for us. If you create for you, there are many of us that will benefit. You are great just the way you are. Well done. Lastly, sorry for your loss. 🌹🌹🌹Peace.

[@ErikSjaastad]

:( you're the second creator I've seen in two days who has said that the negative things that's come from being a creator has impacted their life outside. It's so sad that there are so many people who feel it's ok to attack, stock or be mean on line. So happy to hear you had fun on your trip. Big hugs to you and the gang

[@DawnykaH]

So sorry for your loss. 💔 Thank you for checking in with us to let us know you are ok. 💛 I am so excited to see your Peru videos. I can't wait! Also, I look forward to seeing your plans for your land. Enjoy your time in Utah. Say hi to the dogs. 🐾🐾

[@carriehamre3854]

I’ve been rewatching old videos because I love listening to your content to start my morning. It really sets my day off right. I love hearing about all your adventures and living vicariously through you.

[@lenac7352]

It’s funny because what attracts me to channels is what the creators put into it. Their vision, their experiences and thoughts and how they choose to present them. I just sit back and enjoy the experiences vicariously wishing I were there every time. The comment section to me is a place to let the creators know how much I enjoyed their posts and how much I hope they keep doing what they’re doing the way they want to do it because that’s the reason I follow. Not to tell people how I think they should do it and not to try to demean them for their vision or their opinions or way of life. When describing the channel to my daughter a while ago I said Linnea was this amazing free spirited and courageous person who lived her life with no limitations. If she dreamed of doing something she figured out how, gathered her resources and got to work and thankfully brought us all along for the ride. I would never dream of criticizing any part of it and it bothers me that others would. If you don’t like it go elsewhere you know? Easy peasy! You won’t be missed! I want to send my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your grandmother. She must’ve been a free spirit herself to raise the child who raised you to be the person you are today and who we are lucky to see in your posts. Peace to all of you plus beautiful skies and open roads. ❤

[@theresawebster1027]

As a full time vanlifer at nearly 59 years old currently in Quartzsite AZ I'd like to take time to say I love your energy. You're such a powerful woman! Take care of you and Akela. 💞

[@user-gl5mu6ru4u]

Hellooo! I have watched your videos and many other’s videos, and never once considered sending a criticizing or derogatory message. You all are a gift to us, and owe us nothing. We should patiently wait and wonder and allow you to do you! Missed you when you were gone and so happy to see you again! Much love ❤. Ps. First comment I’ve ever given. Took your advice.

[@TacomaTails]

Linnea, I first found your videos years ago as I was building out a cargo trailer with a previous partner. I think it was your ceiling fan that we first watched. I am still watching today because I feel such a close kinship with you as a fellow women, explorer, badass, solo (not anymore for you!) traveling dog mom. I have loved watching you grow as a person and your videos have helped me continue to keep pushing myself forward and reminding myself that my dreams don't need to just be dreams. I CAN go after them, and I can accomplish anything I want. I think most of us will agree we love watching your videos weekly, but girl you do you. Don't live to make videos for us, live to make those beautiful memories for yourself, and your family! Much love and support from my four legs and I to you all.

[@vanessawatson1768]

Be you chick. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It doesn’t take much to be kind to people. Be the creative you want to be. ❤

[@flockoturtles]

Nice to see you again, Linnea. I'm just happy to see your unique perspective on the world and all of the places you visit.. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@krisblank1685]

Im also truly sorry for your loss. Grandparents are wonderful and its so hard to lose them and that history. 💔❤️🙏

[@ImtheBoaz]

This is YOUR platform to share what you want to share!!! We have all followed you because YOU are YOU!!! Let’s see more of YOUR path than…what you think “we” want to see! :)

[@ricklenser3323]

All the content you & Chris give us is a gift that most of us really appreciate. My career has been as a professional videographer since 1980 so I understand the amount of work that you put into this for us. You are our escape from our daily pressure! Thanks

[@lindahuggett4353]

❤ I found your page a while ago and I have watched everything . I love watching your videos because you are so real and normal you’re not putting on a personality. You inspire me in so many ways. I now have my van and started my build and. I am also working on my health. Thank you for keeping true to yourself . Sending love .

[@melindasartori3467]

Don’t pay attention to haters - keep doing what makes YOU feel happy. I enjoy watching your videos and living vicariously through your adventures.

[@maryboyer9659]

I am so sorry that you are struggling with haters! I love looking forward to catching up with you whenever you are able to post. I know this is your job, but your need to make sure you are taking care of yourself and not let the haters take you to a dark place. I want you to know that I am an old (compared to you) retired teacher who enjoys watching your adventures! Please take a break when haters are taking you to a sad place! You are the most important person in your life, so please take care of yourself and know that you are loved by this viewer!

[@user-ss5ku7zk7l]

Thank you for all that you do and share. I have missed you. I'm so glad your trip was incredible. Your adventures are so very inspiring!

[@fannygranger9866]

I've been watching for years and I don't think I've ever commented but I've loved all of your videos. I think you're very talented - not everyone has a knack for both picture and storytelling and you're so great at both. Keep listening to yourself and putting out content that you feel good about, we'll be there! Your work is amazing.

[@trishwhitehouse6536]

You want us to send love to our favorite youtubers? I would love nothing more! I started watching your videos at the beginning of your journey as you struggled your way through your build. I watched everything you did, memorized some of your videos, had them playing in the background while I was trying to build out my own van. I have a PM1500 like you, so what you did, I did. It's been built out for 2 years now, I've taken my special needs son cross country twice, my dog hiking all over the east coast and cross country, I"ve slept out in single digits cold as well as triple digit heat. I have never had more fun than I have since I built out my van, and that says a lot being that I'm 64, Linnea, you and your brave approach to learning and making mistakes, empowered me to do the same and it changed my life. Though I'll never meet you, I remain forever grateful we crossed paths.

[@julietteferrars3097]

I work as a housesitter for a really kind and generous woman. Whenever I go back home it is very similar to that shock you experienced, but in a smaller way. Realizing that life could be different and having to force yourself back into a mold is never pleasant. Please take the time to rest, process, and share with us whenever you're ready. I'm so deeply grateful for you and relieved to know I am not alone in my wish to reconnect with nature. Take care. ❤

[@VCQB92]

I was just wondering today when you'd have a new video, glad to see you!

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you! So glad to be back 💛

[@Rachellovescheese]

Making some time for yourself without filming, is definitely needed. Everybody needs a week off from work sometimes. We’re here & we don’t want you to put pressure on yourself to put out videos. I’m so sorry to hear about your Grandma. Sending hugs xxx

[@dolphinlover1691]

HEY Linnea it's YOUR channel YOUR way! We are all here👌🏻 Give no attention to the whiners. IMO wine is best served by the glass. Cheers 🥂 Looking forward to the next vids...

[@stacyjones-erickson3147]

Perfectly said. You are an evolved soul. Let no one squelch your fire or voice. You are beautiful and amazing!❤️

[@gailm1122]

Well Linnea, sounds like you had a bit of an awakening. Welcome to the club. Remember to always be true to yourself and align with what speaks to you, and your tribe will find you. Glad to be here.

[@vansionliving]

Linnea, I’m glad to see you back on the internet. I know it’s easy to say ignore the trolls, you can always turn off comments to any video to get a reprieve from those “people”. Enjoy life! I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother.

[@nataliekehl6249]

I love your videos Linnea, your cinematography is superb. You are very talented and an inspiration for me as a 61 year old woman. You and Chris are great together and I wish you both achieve everything that you want. I look forward to seeing your future videos. Of course I love both dogs too.

[@sarahursula-zw8gw]

so glad i stumbled upon this channel , it feels like you are a kindred spirit , i much appreciate all the videos that i can surf and binge now , can't wait .

[@coloringjenn1975]

Chris, I love you too, and you are amazing!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@bobertforher]

Thank you for all of your time and talent. I have missed you, but knew you were living your best life! Whenever you were able to update you would. When I would think of you I just sent you positive vibes in the universe. ❤

[@stephie4ever]

Sending respect, acceptance, love and kindness.......just because I want to and I can. Thank you for being you and sharing what you do.

[@sovereigns1grace]

Linnea, nice to see you again and so glad you had a "vacation". I completely understand what you said about being free of prying eyes/judgments. It allows you to breathe without tension. I think less frequent and more meaningful videos is preferable to the 'canned regularly scheduled program'. Of course, content creators are subject to the penalties of irregular posting due to algorithms, etc. But I suspect it's healthier to not rely on just YT for income & therefore be free to post when and how you like. I for one, truly appreciate that you do share so much. It's good for this older person to see what the youth of today are up to. You're a shining star.

[@TWEnglish100]

Linnea, it was so great to catch up with you. You look fabulous, by the way. 😊 thank you for sharing so much with us, and I want to apologize for rotten people on the internet. I feel bad for making a comment recently about being disappointed in the lack of content when you were buying the property. We get used to hearing from you, and it’s almost like we feel entitled to it. I’m sorry to add to any stress! You have a great head on your shoulders, and you make wise choices in being true to yourself. Screw people if they don’t like that. Really. Life is too short to spend any of it with people or things that don’t bring you joy or peace. That’s something I’m learning with age, and I’m way older than you are! Love you and your lil family. My pups missed your pups, too! I have cute pics of them watching Akela on my TV. ❤❤❤

[@iris238]

Lots of love from me to you ❤😘 You do you! And that's what makes your videos so great to watch! 🥰 You are a gift to us, sharing those things of your life and being so open to us. Take the love of all of us that do appreciate you for who you are and let this bury the negative ones deep, deep in the ground. Thank you for being here for us! 😘 ❤🍀🥰

[@hailahafley-kluver2052]

I ditto what many say here. Sorry to her about your grandmother - glad you got to be with family. I love watching your videos and the adventures you have with Akela - and Chris of course. You have great content to watch and I love your respect for our land. You are an inspiration.

[@hudesr]

I ❤ u and your work! You're not doing anything wrong. We love you for being you! If it makes you feel any better, I'm a teacher and people like to tell us we signed up for crap too. No. I didn't sign up for being yelled at, for low income wages forever, for always increasing workloads, for ridiculously huge class sizes, etc. Once upon a time, I didn't think people considered themselves experts of education just bc they were once students. I have a master's degree and 23 years of experience, and I still have a lot to learn. I also never thought I'd be this tired all the time. I didn't think I'd have to work double my contracted (paid) hours to fulfill my job requirements. Life is hard.

[@SuperDukesMom]

I truly appreciate your passion...your kind heart and your ability to educate people! I'm super excited to see your Peru videos when you're ready! Your editing skills are awesome! And deeply appreciated! 💚🕉💚

[@cynthiacampbell2257]

Linea, you are wonderful. You are full of light and love. You enrich my life!

[@heidismidt6219]

I don’t think anyone needs to hear negativity about their work! I so appreciate the amount of work you put in to share your experiences with us! ❤️💜

[@riproller24]

I love watching your videos as you are so well spoken, inspiring, and honest about who you are and how YOU choose to live your life. ❤ The people that are unkind have their own set of issues and maybe shouldn’t take them out on you. Post and create the videos that make you happen and those of us that love watching will continue to learn and grow just as you. ❤️❤️

[@Kari-bb3rm]

Looming judgemental commentary is really a downer. It's so great to see you and Akela again!!!😊❤

[@christinestrider6406]

Wish you were my daughter! Just love watching you and listening to you… So much knowledge and maturity in one so young… Extremely surprising! Chris is a lucky man! And your mama is a lucky woman!

[@Linneaandakela]

Aw thank you so much, Christine!

[@the_mum]

The first thing that jumped out at me from this video is how healthy Akeela looks...her coat is thick and plush and she looks wonderful. I'm excited that you have started pottery but be very careful; It is addictive. You will be dragging a wheel out to your property and building a kiln in a future video...guaranteed.Hey! what about a combo kiln and pizza/bread oven? As I look around my home, I cannot count the number of pottery pieces I have on display. Over the years I have sold many many pieces but recently feeling overwhelmed I have donated 5 huge boxes (well over 200 pieces) to an urban dog rescue to be used at auctions and sales to raise money for the rescue. All this to say, you look great, and I'm so looking forward to your future videos, whether they are once a month or once a week. Stress is the worst thing for anyone's health. So many exciting things are to come to you. Sincerest condolences on the loss of your grandmother.

[@user-ki7rk6dw1r]

Hey, I usually watch your videos on TV so I haven't been able to comment but I love watching your videos. I cannot imagine anybody having anything negative to say about you or your lifestyle. Love your van, love the wood stove :) and you have a beautiful Dog :). Keep making videos and I'll keep watching. There are plenty of us older folks like me that wish we had had the guts to do what you are doing when we were younger. Thanks, Tony from North Carolina.

[@simply.leen.]

I hope you (and Chris!) receive more love and kindness than negative feedback. The internet can be such a dark place sometimes. Your little corner of the internet always feels so filled with joy and peace. You absolutely don't have to share your lives and take us to all these places with you. I am so grateful to come along for the ride when you have both time and space to share. As a longtime follower, I certainly miss your content when I don't see you (and as a mom of two daughters, I can't help but worry) but I do understand that this is a job for you in many ways and we all need a vacation from our jobs. I'm always sending you, Chris, Akela, and Kobuk all my love.

[@cathyrose1292]

I love a peaceful morning vlog and feel like it would be a good way to enjoy the rest of your day!! ❤

[@TRAINSUP1]

👉🚐👍👊You have been truly Blessed to be able to do, see and accomplish all you have in your life! May the Lord continue to be with you!

[@kristishingleton3126]

I love your content. My husband and I were inspired by you to build out our own tiny home in a promaster. We learned so much from your videos and really appreciate the details you gave in all of them. We continue to watch your content and enjoy you sharing your experiences. My thoughts are with you and your family as you grieve the passing of your grandmother.

[@victoriasmith8570]

I’m so sorry for the loss of your Grandma. Glad you got quality family time to mourn together. My deepest sympathy to you all. I’d love to see the pottery you’re making. I’ve always wanted to take pottery classes or have access to a wheel! Glad things are going pretty well. Have a great week!

[@user-qb4kd4dz4j]

I don’t understand why people can be negative. I personally enjoy your content. ❤

[@mybestlifeever]

My condolences to you and your family for your loss. I am too familiar with loss and I know it takes time to heal. Thank you for sharing your videos, you’ve always had my attention in whatever you share. Your life is interesting and I’ve I’ve learned a lot from you. You’re a sweet, caring beautiful inside and out amazing human being. For those who make mean unwanted comments, they are useless because they won’t change who you are and how you feel and us that love you, won’t change either how we feel about you and your lifestyle and that’s all that matters. Excited to see you on the next video 🙏❤️

Condolences on your grandmother's passing. I am very sorry. Glad that you had a break from work and a restorative experience in Peru. Welcome back!

[@shelly2024blessings]

I get so much joy watching your videos. You are a beautiful old soul. Thanks for sharing your life.

[@annekejanissen7761]

You’re such an inspiration. So take your time, there’s no planning for that. Just be authentic, because that’s real to other people what they want to hear or see. Don’t give other people the power of what to do or think. People who hurt have been hurt themselves. Let’s give them a good example, how to be vulnerable and dare to choose for our dreams. And not for fear.

[@nancinatoli2614]

Welcome back! I’ll start your suggestion with you. Thank you for sharing your life with me. I truly appreciate you, your values, your family and your friends. Thank you for your creations. I look forward to watching them all!

[@peggytravels793]

Condolences on the loss of your grandmother and it was good that you took the time to focus on your family (not this one). I had to smile when you talked about the only things you can control is your time & health and those are spotty. I think you can control how you react to things in your life. I have a saying “Never put your key to happiness in anyone else’s pocket”. Think of the people who post any negative or hurtful thing on your videos as robbers….they want to steal your joy and happiness. Do NOT give them that power, I do admire you and what you’re doing in your life. ❤❤❤sending love & best wishes.

[@nicolesteward]

You articulate these things (culture shock, excess, consumerism) so well. We all need to move toward simplicity and mindful consumption. Take your time to create what YOU want to….well be here when you’re ready. 🫶🏽

[@nancymacdonald6451]

So very sorry for your loss! I'm so glad you and Akela are back! I missed you both!

[@user-rp7zc1lv4t]

[@andreaewert7204]

Linnea so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Also it's ok to take time to take care of yourself and make videos the way you want to. Welcome back looking forward to all the videos you plan on sharing! Much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Bugnpiper]

I think you should put out the content that inspires YOU, and by doing that it comes through in your videos. I cannot even fathom anyone saying anything hateful to you, but when that happens please try to just let it roll off your back like rain. You are an inspiration for living your life on your terms. Kudos to you!

[@jkandkiminthecamper]

Mean people suck. Don’t give them your energy. We love you! 🥰 can’t wait to see your videos! You’re an awesome creator-has always loved your transparency.

Linnea I’m so saddened to hear about you getting ugly feedback. I don’t understand why or how people can be so mean when you are so kind to give us a glimpse into your world. I love your openness and your loving and caring heart. You and Akela have such a unique and beautiful connection and your family. I’ve enjoyed your videos these past 2 years I’ve watched. I wish the most blessed, loving and free spirit life for you and your circle.❤

Can’t imagine what it’s like to get hate from strangers 😢 you are doing an amazing job and speaking for myself - I LOVE your videos❣️

[@anniedavis4569]

Also I’m glad you got to be with your grandmother 😢in her last days on this earth. My sympathies to you and yours

[@malloryjennings113]

So glad to see you today. My dogs and I have missed all four of you! They love watching your videos as much as I do. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother and it was good to hear about the quality time with your mother and brothers. I appreciated this discussion a lot, as I always appreciate the content you put out. It really is soul food for me. Podcast ideas: I want to hear you talk more about pottery (I dabble and love it) Connection/spirituality Book recommendations!! Both of you talking about your first pets, your journey of animal companions that led you to the two dogs we all know and love How to stay connected to "your people" or "community" when you are geographically far away- I feel like I struggle with this and I am not a nomad, so I am inspired by your richness in friendships Things you are both noticing about your refocus on health and your relationships with your body in terms of strength, movement, appreciation, etc Hopefully some of these ideas spark your interest, but I'm still along for the ride even if they don't. ❤️

Hi Linnea, it's Camryn from Canada! 🇨🇦 I just wanted to say that you are such an amazing person. I love your deep connection with nature, and your more simple way if living, as I can really relate to that. I am graduating highschool this year, and watching your videos gives me lote of inspiration of how I want to someday cultivate my life! Thank you for being authentically you and for being such a role model. Sending you lots of love! 💞 Thanks again, Camryn 😊

I always leave kind comments for people I admire. I think my annoyance comes from creators who copy their friends which is hard to watch at times when it’s so transparent they didn’t come up with the ideas theirselves and feels like I already seen the same thing. Great footage today. I enjoy your videos when they are authentic so looking forward to Peru footage.

[@lynnbogdanovich5284]

I've been meaning to comment on several creators videos recently, because I recognize that they are always proactively apologizing about stuff. I know its because they have had so much criticism. It truly is sad. I'm so sorry about your grandmother passing. You are a beautiful human. Thanks for sharing. Xoxo

[@sandimatthews5703]

I came across your channel awhile ago when you spent the winter up north here somewhere in your van. I was intrigued by your entire living situation. I even learned a thing or two! No joke. Man I understand the culture shock of coming back here. We are so messed up. Well thankfully not all of us! Carry on. Yall are loved and appreciated.

[@chrisbaker5077]

I love seeing you be true to you! It may not be the "norm" but I think it's great. Watching your videos is part of my decompress routine, if it takes longer to put a new video together I'll just watch an older one! ❤❤❤

[@tedlich]

There was a point there, where Kobuk looked right into the camera, giving me the feeling of being seen and being right there with you. I love following your journey. The ups and the downs and whatever you choose to share, whenever, honestly. I use it as an escape. A time for me to dream about being in a different situation and a different place. Thank you for giving me, and everyone else watching, this. You do it so well. It feels honest and personal and it allows me to mirror your feelings, lending me a bit of your adventure.

[@emmaaa2909]

I love your videos! As someone else said, I'd rather I get to watch fewer videos and that you time for yourself. And the time to tell the stories the way you want. While doing it in a way that is good for you. I am so grateful I get the opportunity to follow you and Akela. You are such a lovely person, i love how genuine and real you are! And I love your videos so much precisely because you are so good at filming and bringing emotion into everything you do. And that you prioritize it over a fixed schedule ❤️

[@nsharveyful]

So, so, so much love, support and positive energy to you for what you do. You are loved ♥️

[@jenw1116]

I have been excited for the Peru videos since you announced them after you finished up your off-grid winter challenge.. very happy to hear that they are on their way and that you are happy with them. The way you handled a shitty comment on insta a few weeks ago (they post something about being a trust fund baby and you flipped it into being positive and saying thaaaaanks) was inspiring! I'm so sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing, remember that she is with you always. I watched the podcast that Chris posted and have been mostly keeping up with your stories on insta, so was patiently waiting for your next instalment, and I know that you will post when you're ready. You are a true inspiration, Linnea. Thank you so much for sharing all that you do online. I wish there was something we could do to help protect you from the riff raff on the interwebs, but apart from keeping things positive, there's not much else we can do but ignore it. You are the only person on KZbin that I have notifications set up for because your content is so wholesome and I protect my attention like a pitbull (or german shepherd hehe). Thank you so much, again. You are a light in a world that needs light! Much love from NZ. 💕💕❤❤

[@taraolson6508]

Linnea you are fiercely brave and live your life to the full. There will always be people that will see that and be jealous but never let them take your spark. I enjoy watching your videos with my German Shepherd by my side as well. I feel God has used you in my life to help me be more open to new experiences. Thank you for all you do and for sharing your life. ❤

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you so much!

[@JamesSmith-st9nw]

First sorry to hear about your grandmother that is never an easy situation, second glad to hear you are taking your time with things and last here comes the love 🙂if it wasn’t for you answering all my questions about van building I would probably still be sitting at home instead of enjoying the outdoors and nature! Thx you again …. Jim, Wendy and Kira

[@lisaannwilkinson]

Our house loves your videos, you, & yours. Sending so much ✌️and ❤

[@SUCCCEED4LIFE2024]

Love what you do and how very articulate your in sharing. When people "hate" Linnea, it's a reflection on them and their struggles - it has nothing to do about you. You do you! And we love you and you're journey, eternally grateful.
