Brenna Living Joyfully
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 19 มี.ค. 2015
Hi, my name is Brenna and back in May 2018 I decided that I wanted to live a simpler and more joyful life. I am currently travelling Australia in my self converted Toyota Hiace campervan with my dog Abby embracing the simple things in life and living joyfully. Come along with me as I share my current journey as well as how I made my dream a reality. Life is short and all you ever have is the present moment so make the most of it. xx

Tips for Living Van Life: How I Plan and Organize with a Bullet Journal
All your reasons are the same as mine only I'm not in a van yet! 27, single full time working mum in health care and I feel like my life is over sometimes. All I want to do is focus on my Art and writing and spend time in nature. My goal for the next two years is do up my own van and do it part time on holidays and weekends until my daughter is grown but know with complete certainty I will never be happy in a house. Keep doing you 💜 New Sub 💜
a very belated happy birthday! what a fantastic way to live & experience the world!!
Thanks!
Than you 🙏
Thanks for this review Brenna. I’m interested in this system and wondering what solar panels you use? I’ve got a BLUETTI EB70 with PV200 panels - I will use it solely for my mini fridge. I’d like to use my panels with the Delta, but am not sure they will connect.
Glad I found your channel
Me too 😊
The predominant complaint of millennials (& younger), is they lack critical thinking skills. This is attributed to finding answers instantly on the internet. Can’t read a map? ask Google. Can’t convert $ to €, ask Google. Need to know something? ask Google I work in IT & when faced with a problem, I speak to people and work it out myself. But younger colleagues call me to find answers because “you know”, but that’s so untrue!! The reality is, I FIND OUT!! 😅
I’m 62 & in the last 6 months I have been learning lots about ADHD & have concluded that I do have traits. There’s nothing to fix but it helps me and others understand why I may react or say stuff. I mention this because I see similar traits in you Brenna. Not fitting in, erratically changing topic, easily distracted, overly anxious or over thinking stuff, etc. Nothing to fix, but it may help knowing more about it. The idea of an hyperactive boy in class is considered very out of date.
They look like a great little unit. And definitely on my shopping list at some point. Get the window vent unit.
Good call!
wow - your video skills keep getting better and better 😮
Thanks! 😃
Not feeling track with society
This is me
I started using the bullet journaling process in my notebook at work about 10 years ago. I don’t do the “art journaling”, but use the original bullet journaling method. I am solo F54 & am about to hit the road in Aus with my dog after selling house, resigning from job and have been trying to determine how to record my travels. Thanks for showing how bullet journaling can be used on the road. I will be using your method. P.S. Bullet Journal have their own pre formatted books. My current book is one.
Crikey, that was a brutally honest and candid upload. Ive been away for sometime dealing with prostate cancer but glad to still bebon earth 🌍 and moreso to see your channel has grown from 400 subs to over 11k 😱 OUTSTANDING!!! Well deserved for such a dte woman. Cheers 🍻 Yoshi
Glad you're still here on earth too!
Everyone on TH-cam only shares a certain side of themselves therefore it would be pretty hard to know you ! 😂
That was another very interesting video and as always, when I watch your channel, it made me think about myself. Your artwork has developed so much in the last few months where do you find room to store it?
I store most of it under the bed.
What a lovely experience you and Abby had. How sweet getting the drawing of Abby as a gift. You're positivity and joy is infectious. This clip gave me some joy today. Thank you!
Hi Brenna so sorry to hear about Abby.
Thanks, she is doing better.
Thanks for this one. I've come back to it because i wanted no-bullshit advice on making videos. Knew you would have simple suggestions that work. Cheers 😊
hey brenna omg you are so much like me i felt the same way growing up and still do. this would have to be the most honest video ive seen. iv watched you off and on over the years. absolutly love this. hope puppy gets better soon. you take care and thanks for shareing.
Great video Brenna
Thank you.
That was another great video. My newish van is still in the shop getting bits modified, but I'm getting close to lift off. I have a couple silly questions. Have you ever camped at Xanitippe or Dalwalunu? Have you noticed if most towns have post cards?
I think I camped at Xantippe in my first year but not recently. I have not stayed in Dalwalinu but driven through. I don't look for postcards but I am sure most information centres would have some.
😊
Great video Brenna; we should not really make assumptions - often wrong! I wonder if you are familiar with Don miguel ruiz (Toltec wisdom) and his book called "the four agreements" one of which is - never make assumptions. After reading that i often stop myself from doing that! happy days xx
Yes, I have read "the four agreements".. This video was supposed to be light hearted and a chance to let people get to know me better. No judgements
Hi Brenna, appreciate the information on EvaPolar. Is the 30% off special time sensitive & does it only apply to the mid-range cooler? I’m interested in the little mini one for my CaddyMaxi. Thank you & safe travels.
I'm not sure about the discount code but just try it and see.
@@BrennaLivingJoyfullyI did some more searching & have decided to stick with my Sirocco fan & wet towels for now. 🌸
It’s refreshing to see such a real perspective on living on the road. Thanks for opening our eyes and showing what true independence looks like! 💪💖
Thank you for watching.
@@BrennaLivingJoyfully You're very welcome! Looking forward to more of your amazing content! 🙂
@@BrennaLivingJoyfully You're very welcome! Looking forward to more of your amazing content! ❤
I don't think people realise how much of a difference they can do in someone else's life. Especially when it comes to children, I have so many good memories from different people in my childhood, who made my life better. And I kept that in mind when I was working in childcare. Some of those children are adults now, and still remember me with joy.
I have the same experience as a child.
Thank you, Brenna, for sharing. My plan, when I cannot drive anymore, is to join long cruises. I'll have my room with my special things with me, seeing new places, meeting new people, with all the food I could want - someone else to do the cooking and cleaning. That's my plan, God willing!
Sounds like a great plan!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks brenda ❤❤❤ i can relate to you in so many ways... you are great inspiration to others. enjoy your very own choices in your very own life... greetings from qld tablelands hugs ❤💚💙
Greetings.
QUESTION PLEASE: Hi Brenna, Jen here . I'm 70 and hate the heat . Can I ask you what regions you hang out in in summer to stay cooler .
South for the summer and North for winter. Tasmania is the best for the summer months.
Please stop talking about what you will do when Abby passes! Treasure your time with her now, while she is still with you
I can do both.
Thank you Brenna for just being you. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep on being you. Cheers Mo xx
Thanks Mo.
Hi Brenna, I’m more of a watch and thumbs up than a commenter, but I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos 💜💜💜
Thank you.
Love reading comments like yours❤ respect
You appear to me as a “Natural, Happy, Independent, Make it happen Lady” & I love to watch your videos because there is no pretending that life is any different from what you show for both you and Abbey. Keep on enjoying and I’ll keep on watching!
Thanks ,I will.
You are explaining me when you are talking about yourself and whilst it takes strength to be authentic and respectful to ourselves it’s worth it.I too adore my dog and the unconditional love she gives me love to you and your girl and hope she has a lot of healthy years with her mum🙏
It is great to know we are not alone and their are others like us.
wow! What an excellent video! Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us all. You're amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great Vlog, yes I was born in 64 too, I love your outlook on life, joy comes from the simple things in life, sorry to hear of Abbeys illness , hope she has a speedy recovery,and being single has its own set of benefits, (single here 30+ years), best wishes, cheers from Downunder 🦘🦘🦘❤️🇦🇺
Simple is best.
So excited to watch a new video from you Brenna! Love to you and healing energy to Abby
Thank you, I will pass it on.
Hi Brenna. I learned something - to check the community board. I would of said you are one of the most well balanced people I know - dancing through life with wisdom, intelligence, kindness and joy.
Thank you.
Thank you for your ongoing honesty, openness and, well ... for living joyfully! :)
Thanks Jason
One of your most entertaining and interesting videos. Thanks. I'm amazed how similar you are to me, but suspect there are many of us from the same era who questioned everything. Had to smile at your description of straight woman, but different. That's me. Moved into a new community and excluded from girl's nights because not girly enough. Also of course excluded from the boy's nights because I'm not one. Duh! Sit home in the van with my dog 😂.Watching TH-cam 😅
Fitting in is over rated!
I'm from 1964 too and also question everything. I'm also pretty outspoken and have a tendency to speak as I find things and some people take me as offensive. Luckily I don't give a feck what anyone thinks 😂😂😂 In southern Australia evaporative air-conditioning is very popular for whole home ducted cooling.
1964 was a great year to be born!
I feel the same as you, you’re a kindred spirit. Love your videos. Love to Abby .
Thank you.
Big kiss for Abby....l asked no questions...you know what you want
Saaddened to learn of Abby's misfortune but fingers crossed for a complete recover, and most of all, that she is comfortable. Lovely to hear your responses. Really helps deepen how I receive your videos, now knowing some of your hostry, struggles, delights and lifestyle choices. And I love those doodles in your art notebook. Absolutely gorgoeus!
Thank you so much!
🤗 bless you… I was born in ’64 - female- I have always questioned everything - non conventional - I am living a truly wonderful life - and I wish that upon all
Wonderful!
I make no assumptions. I love how you do life and enjoy being you.
Loved this video Brenna. Confirmed what we all assumed about you (mostly). Gentle hugs to Abby. I love your art and am interested in you saying you would like to teach art, for the Joy it brings....as in that we are all capable. I used to doodle in my youth, never any good but enjoyed it. Nowadays I'm like you said uptight, not relaxed about it to even try. Would like to change that. Not sure where to start but start I must., stop procrastinating 😄
Doodling is the best!
I love this video. I couldn't enter the assumption bit, I'm not into assuming. I can see your awesome. A truly kind and wonderful person who has overcome lots in life and now chooses to give back. I really hope the universe crosses our paths one day. You have an incredible energy about you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your art is lovely Brenna. I gave taken up sketching in ink and water colour again which I'm finding pretty relaxing. Thanks for the insights into your lovely soul. Sorry Abby is not well, hope she gets better soon. cheers :)
I love laying done a watercolour wash and then inking on top of it too.
❤ to you and Miss Abby,get well soon sweetheart.x
Thank you 🙏
