Hey poppy, good to see you again. You look like you're enjoying your new life on a boat. There are times that I wish I was still on my boat. I really do miss that lifestyle. There just comes a time in your life that you have to look at your health and do you have the strength to do what needs to be done on a boat. I was at the point in my life where I needed to make a change in my life but I still wanted to travel. So I chose Thailand to live in because it is centrally located in Southeast Asia and that makes it easier to go to all the places I want to go.

[@WheresPoppy]

Hey Brock! Totally understand where you're coming from, it takes a lot of energy to live on a boat. It's super physical, that's why I never have to workout because it's a full body workout sailing and in general just on a boat. And then everything breaking is exhausting. Heck we go to bed at 8pm most nights cuz were exhausted, up at sunrise though. Anyway, hope you're still enjoying your adventures in Thailand! Surely you can jump on a cruise boat tour there if you ever miss being on the water! Happy Holidays!

[@jadecummings8093]

I love this boat!

[@WheresPoppy]

Me too! haha

[@johnlacey3857]

Your new Australian accent sounds cute Poppy!

[@PerryCuda]

Wow, great video, great energy. So happy for you!

[@37parman]

You are developing an accent. Your life with other people around you is making you and your speech evolve.

[@ShaferHart]

She did an aussie accent for a while when she first arrived to Australia, then dropped it.

[@WheresPoppy]

And my brother has been developing a Boston accent from living there so long. Our family all talks with different accents now 😂

[@SloppyPlatypus]

Your voice has changed a bit. Sounds a tiny bit Austrialian.

[@WheresPoppy]

nawww mate hehe

[@seangaskin7608]

Wow! I don’t know why, but I haven’t seen you for months Poppy! What a great transition, from van to boat. Very cool! 😃🙌☮️💟

[@WheresPoppy]

[@travelingdude1621]

Hello beautiful lady from the US. 😀What part in Australia are you in? I plan to visit Sydney next year and do a sightseeing airplane tour to Antarctica while I’m there. 👌🏻 Do you notice your accent changing to Australian? That is interesting. Happy Holidays to you! 🎄

[@WheresPoppy]

Hey Traveling Dude! We are kind of everywhere haha, but mostly in Queensland to be close to the reef. Wow airplane tour to Antartica sounds epic! And then you don't have to worry about the cold right? Or do you get out of the plane? Yes I realise my accent has changed and to be honest, I have no idea how to put it back haha. It just seems to be my accent changes lately depending on who I'm around most and lately that's been Aussies. But at one point I think I was sounding a bit Irish when I had a lot of Irish friends haha. Happy holidays to you as well!

[@jadecummings8093]

Fantastic adventure video, miss! It is very inspirational, hope you are taking good care out there and wished you all the best for the upcoming new year.✨ 🎉 Happy New Year! ✨🎉

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks so much Jade! Appreciate all your comments on my videos and sticking around! Wishing you the best year for 2023!

[@milan8285]

Poppy nice to see you again. Merry Christmas to you and wish you all the best in new year... Either way (van or boat) got some advantages and charms (nicely explained).. But is really cool that you mixed a lot in your life, from travel everywhere to live in van and now in boat.. Every day is new adventure and never know when and what new adventure is waiting you.. Only thing i learn from you is enjoy in life every day whenever you are and take all what life is offering you... Just enjoy in new adventure and waiting new video🙂😊

[@WheresPoppy]

Merry Christmas Milan! Thank you for such a nice comment! Yes advantages and disadvantages to both! Every day truly is an adventure and we all have the courage to take on new challenges and journeys. I just tend to say yes to all of them, even if that means getting seasick haha. But yes, take what life offers you because we only get one life and no point in being miserable, make the most of it!

How often have you seen huntsman spiders/giant spiders in your travels???

[@michael8590]

you sound aussie now 😊

[@ekkerslovarkia2726]

Hey Poppy,good to see you still doing your thing. It's actually a very insightful video on some freedoms you gain and others that you lose living on a boat. Your time schedule is pretty much set by the tides and weather so i guess you become closer to nature in your new lifestyle. Hope you have a happy new year. 🎇

[@WheresPoppy]

Hey Ekkers, good to see you here again too! Thank you, making this video really showed me how much I've learned about boat life, I still feel like I have too much to learn haha. You definitely do become closer with nature because it controls you. And rather than fight nature, you learn to live in harmony with her. Sometimes it's frustrating but other times we end up in the most magical unforgettable places it makes it all worth it. Hope you are having a lovely holidays!

[@andrewsema359]

Do you have an emergency kit? Procedures and I'd like to know if you have diving gear, other than the snorkeling gear. The longest I been on board has been 6 days. Did a series of dives from the mouth of Botany Bay all the way north to Queensland coast. Beautiful undeerwater environment. Thanks for the tour of your yacht of the Rich and Famous. 😝🤣🤣

[@WheresPoppy]

Yes we have all the emergency equipment, life vests, multiple flares, gps signals, plugs for holes, so many tools and more! We have borrowed friends diving gear but don't keep anything on board as it takes up too much space. Awesome, yah the underwater world is incredible! Hope you're enjoying your holidays!

Doesn't the bed shake, esp when its wavy? I saw some swing beds before and I thought all boats have swing beds

[@WheresPoppy]

Na, it's more stable on a catamaran versus a yacht

Hey poppy! Do you know what happend to Jordan? Why She stoped uploading videos?

[@sammylou5716]

They parted way several years ago

[@KGold53]

Geez, Poppy, haven’t checked out your channel in over a year! Glad you’re well. Your life has radically changed. Used to follow your channel closely when you lived and toured in China. Among your videos, I especially recall your Yunnan and Nanjing visits when you went to places I saw when my wife and I visited. Now that China is reopening, are you planning to ever return there? We will hopefully do so later this year!

[@calvinscott3903]

How would one afford this lifestyle?

[@WheresPoppy]

You have to be good at fixing things yourself and bargaining. Sometimes we've traded fresh fish we've caught for tools or parts we need to fix things on the boat.

[@Lee-dc3uu]

Lovely girl, what kind of visa you stay here?

[@mark112008]

poppy kitchen knives point them down rough seas things unexpected those knives could make a bad moment worse just a opinion. you should do better on the sailboat

[@WheresPoppy]

Dammit it's been my dream to be a knife juggler, guess I'll just stick to fire juggling then. Although Ryan doesn't like first on boats haha

I wish! I don't think you'll meet many rich boaties with how often things break haha

[@Merlijnvv]

You seem to go to great lengths to evade the authorities. Still on the run, or already legally married?

[@sammylou5716]

What makes you say that lol you can get a visa for a year for travelling

[@Mobay18]

How does one afford a boat like that?

[@WheresPoppy]

We probably will share this story on our sailing channel :)

No sunscreen in Australia? You are a brace soul but skin cancer is no joke😉

[@DeannaSt]

And if diet would be helpful, (that’s just autosuggestion based on nothing medical or scientific whatsoever) then nobody would have skin cancer here, but despite healthy diets and veganism and all that, we are the country with the highest skin cancer incidence in the world because of the amount of harmful UV rays we have in the Southern Hemisphere due to the latitude and the ozone layer getting thinner and thinner thanks to global warming! No sunscreen in Australia it’s beyond irresponsible, you guys!

[@WheresPoppy]

I agree with you, it’s no joke. That’s why I’m not recommending to anyone to not wear sunscreen. I recommend everyone to do your own research and take care of your own body ☺️

[@sammylou5716]

You can get environmental friendly sun screen

[@eddyhmmk1]

I bet they smell 🤢 they just get use to the smell

[@heiner71]

Why would they smell if they swim in the ocean every day? They may smell like salt and sea, which is not bad. I would be more worried about the lack of sunscreen. Skin cancer is quite popular in Australian. I strongly doubt that choice of nutrition can counteract the destructive force of the Sun's UV radiation.

[@WheresPoppy]

Guess you'll just have to come out on the boat one day and smell for yourself ;) haha

[@WheresPoppy]

@@heiner71 Yah we probably smell like fishes ;) haha...Yes skin cancer is bad in Australia, that's why I'm not gonna advise on this subject, just letting you guys know what we do but I am no expert! Everyone needs to do their own research!
