Why I Left...

[@J.Young808]

I’m glad you realized you weren’t happy and were strong enough to leave for your sanity. As another commenter pointed out you brought a fresh new perspective. I have watched less and less of their content. They have changed from their independent unbiased videos to corporate shills. I am glad I found your channel as I commented on your BFG KO3 snow test video. Looking forward to more content.

[@J.Young808]

I wondered why I hadn’t seen you. What is your new job?

[@MrJamesLuz]

Wise words I received many years ago: “Most jobs only give you two options, thriving or surviving. Find a job at a company that allows you to thrive.”

[@AlexSAdventures]

YES!!!!! I was not growing in a good way at the old place.

[@dawg1234100]

You are going to do great with your channel. So awesome you are being so honest and open.

[@MP-di9bj]

I just recently found your channel and as a female I’m inspired! Please keep going!

[@AlexSAdventures]

OMG WELCOME!!! I feel like there are no females here and this made me SO HAPPY!!! I am so so happy you are here!!

[@ericacosta8662]

I thought you were a breath of fresh air on that channel. You did look nervous on most of your appearances. Figured it was more of a public speaking thing. Hope the next endeavor is fruitful !!

[@AlexSAdventures]

Awww thank you It’s was definitely a situational thing. I hated the work environment with a passion.

[@J.Young808]

@@AlexSAdventuresthey have changed over the years, I have always thought Roman was very ditatiorish and a blowhard.

[@williame4157]

That sucks, I was hoping to see more videos with you in them😢.

[@AlexSAdventures]

I know, I am sorry. I also wasn't getting any screentime there. So even if I was still there I was doing more behind the scenes stuff. I will continue this channel tho! Different content but 🤷🏼‍♀

[@williame4157]

@@AlexSAdventures Awesome! I look forward to seeing your adventures.

[@DuaneCaldwell]

Alex, I've been wondering about you for a while. I sincerely enjoyed and appreciated your perspectives in your content at your previous employer, and missed them here on your own channel. What you just shared was incredibly admirable, respectful, and anything but chaotic. I completely understand the impact of your grief for your grandmother and that it had such a profound impact on things for you. You experienced three of the biggest stresses in Life all at once: loss of a dear loved one, moving to a new community, and starting a new job/career. I admire your courage in tackling the latter two so soon after losing your grandma. It sounds like you are in a better place emotionally and professionally, and for that, I am very happy for you. I hope you continue on your journey to manage your grief. That kind of loss stays with us the rest of our lives, but if we are successful in managing it, it eventually morphs from constant pain to fond memories and gratitude for the time we had with those loved ones. Never forget her and all the things she shared with you that make you who you are. You are a special person who cares about others. The world needs more Alexes. Stay true to yourself, and you cannot go wrong. As for the misogynist trolls out there, please ignore them as much as you can. Find an offroading community that is more accepting. They do exist (e.g., Rebelle Rally). Too many on the Internet exhibit the bravery of anonymity and take their own self-loathing out on others. "Strong people don't put others down... They lift them up." -Michael P. Watson You showed your strength in this video. Thank you, and I hope to keep seeing you and your strength. Be well.

[@AlexSAdventures]

This message is absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for taking the time to write this!! I loved reading this, it made me feel seen. I can’t express how much i appreciate your caring words! I truly felt the need to share the whole story because it helps paint picture as to why things in life sometimes don’t work. I can’t wait to continue to build a community and go on more adventures☺️ Thank you so much again for this beautiful message, it made me so happy!

[@99unclebob]

I know what you went through with your grandmother, i use to do hospice work with terminal cancer patients as a volunteer and you have to be open about it and not be shocked or easily shaken, i lost my mom in Feb/2021 who was 99 and as she said I've had a good run and she was just shy of her 100th birthday and we had a relationship that my other siblings couldn't believe, I am 7th of 8 kids, this past late spring i lost my brother who i was close to and dearly miss to this day and i understand the healing you experience currently and will for some time to come, time heals all, trust in it and yourself, the opportunity you've had and wasn't a good fit was just a brief chapter in your young life and the positiveness can be heard in your voice during this video , your the authentic article and the world and youtube needs more like you, originality is rare these days and you have it in spades, just be you and things will work out as they should, just have fun the off roading will keep you humble and smiling while experiencing mother natures best , Colorado has lots of that, Alex will find her next groove, i just stumbled across your channel an hour ago 👍 good videos and content

[@AlexSAdventures]

Wow thank you so much for being here and taking the time to write this message. This made me well up, I am so deeply sorry for you loss, but thank you for sharing your story. Life is going to constantly throw curve balls you just need to remain positive and keep moving forward. Thank you so much for watching and your kinda words I greatly appreciate it :)

[@MSchumacherfan]

Life is a journey, take one day at a time.

[@TherapeuticDriving]

Very nice opening scene!

[@rugerla1]

Hi Alex! I found your channel while looking for seat covers for my new to me 2018 Tundra. Noticed your off-roading videos and have watched a lot of them this week. Outstanding footage and editing, love the scenery and the honesty while learning how to off road and learning the capabilities of your truck. Look forward to more videos in the future. This video was heavy and amazing at the same time. Be safe in your travels and good luck in your future wherever that may lead you!

[@AlexSAdventures]

Hi! Thank you so much! And welcome I am so glad you found my channel ☺️ The 2018 tundra is awesome, I hope you enjoy it and get to do some exploring!

[@X_Hog]

It was really brave of you putting yourself out there like this, when it would be so easy to just retreat back into yourself. Seeing your IG feed I was getting the healing vibe from all of your posts from the ocean, and I’m glad it helped you. You are such a beautiful person, with a caring soul, and I’m glad to see you getting better. Take care of yourself and keep doing what you love.

[@AlexSAdventures]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@rockerdan]

Alex...I first stumbled across you through your former employers video when you brought your Tacoma through their 4wd course. It was great to see a female doing this. Not all men think the same and if the fit was not good then it was wise to move on. I started to follow you on IG as well and truly enjoy your incredible photography work. Among so many videos and posts, yours always make me smile in a very natural way, which brings hope to so many. I personally think you are much better off moving forward, you are young and I am certain your future will be very bright, with the incredible way you bring your videos to life. This video in particular, the editing, the beauty of this trail, and mostly the choice of music and how you edit it all together is something very few people have the creativity to do with such passion. Once again I walk away with a smile and joyful feeling like no other videos give me. Even though it is a sad or touchy subject, it just reminds me how good some people truly are inside, even among how crazy everything has become in recent years. I wish my videos could make people feel like yours do! I'm glad you have moved on, that channel is one I tend to watch less and less too be honest, and you will do amazing things going forward. I can see you being your own boss, running the show with all your creative abilities in the video/photography space. It sounds like you are back east to the ocean playground you seem to enjoy so much. Very happy you are following your heart. People like you deserve the world, and if you still enjoy the automotive world I would love to see you get into the EV side of things! Very open minded people in the EV space and also the EV Overlanding space is growing by leaps and bounds now. I'm sure if you went that route you would be awesome! Cheers to you girl!

[@AlexSAdventures]

Wow 🥹 this made me so happy!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Thank you for taking the time to write this beautiful message, it brings me so much joy that you enjoy my content and watching my journey. I am so happy to have you here so happy to hear what you think and feel! I have been working hard to make my content better, and the old job definitely helped with that. I hope to make content that people enjoy and although this video is not my normal content, its part of my story that I felt the need to share. As for EV if this channel ever goes anywhere thats a strong possibility !

[@Jaytacoma69]

I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I can say your videos are truly inspiring. This video was amazing and your an amazing creator!

[@AlexSAdventures]

Welcome ! thank you so much this makes me so happy to hear 😊!

[@SHININGTHELIGHTS-ks6ix]

Why do you have such beautiful eyes? Just amazing

[@nekto34]

I understand you so well. I've been in the states for over 20 years now and constantly questioning whether I fit in. Constantly have the urge to leave, but can't due to life circumstances.

thank you!!

@@AlexSAdventures Your welcome Babe!

[@Liquidskys88]

How many miles you got on that tacoma there alex.? Just bought a 2007 highlander.

[@AlexSAdventures]

I have just over 30k miles on it!

[@Liquidskys88]

If you keep changing the oil every 5000 miles that will last a long time. What road is that in the video?..kinda looks like the pine barrens.

[@Uno91180]

Everything will work out in the end!! Also, where did you get your carhart seat covers?!?!

[@AlexSAdventures]

It always does! I got them on CoverCraft!

[@WhiteoutSnowy]

Does this trail you were driving on gets any snow in the winter ?

[@AlexSAdventures]

Yup!

[@fsoverlanding]

F those haters, as s NJ overlanding dude, you are welcome to any trails..... Keep on trucking i say. And that job, look at it this way, it was an expensive!

[@KeithCPerry]

Thanks for sharing your journey and what's been going on. I usually just assume the "life gets in the way" thing but what you went through was more than that. Sounds like you're on a different and better path now. I do have to say that it was weird to hear someone say they don't want any women involved in their little group. Personally I'm glad to see a channel like yours and others in the mix. All points of view have value and more perspectives always help a community grow. Food for thought and the road. 💪

[@AlexSAdventures]

Thank you so much for being her and the kind words!! It was a journey the past few months. Its really hard, its also the internet people are strange and rude.

[@EliMercer]

Dear Alex S...wow. When will you return to NJ? I'm in PA and I've got a hidden offroad gem for you! Hit. Me. Up! -Eli

[@pawelb1707]

That’s Awesome 👏🏻

[@Shawn-s8o]

So I don't know where are you employed by if you were on a different channel KZbin channel so to speak canara viewed some of your other videos on this channel going to subscribe for a while hope you make this challenge your own if it already is yours on channel you have to show people that they can do what you can do and you have to get over the fears of off-camber leaning over a cliff into a river and not say you're not going to do that again you got to show people if you can do it then it's possible for anybody else to do it there are a lot of sketchy situation even on a basic off-road trail been in similar situations the adventure will only go so far if you don't take that little risk if you don't take the risk the adventure stops there it sounds like you believe in yourself this is why I subscribed all the best I hope to see more of your adventures

[@strangerous1313]

boring

[@active411vm]

This is weird I don’t think anyone cares if you quit your job this is just a bunch of ppl who watch for truck stuff lol

[@AlexSAdventures]

Sorry you feel that way, the comments seem to reflect the exact opposite of how you feel. Thanks for watching, the truck stuff will resume.
