My name is Alana Cizek, and I love being outdoors. This channel is about traveling cross country and diving into life through the lens of nature, survival and mindfulness.
Daretomovemountains is about a young woman in her twenties from New York who decided to take a hard reset from her 7 year career in Finance/Asset Management. I bought a Ford Transit van with my Fiancé to travel the world on our savings. As we travel with our two poodles King and ZZ, I continue to keep track of what stimulates me and what I can lean into more as I design my life and the next step for my future; whether the next step is Grad school, moving to Europe (with Simba our van) or launching my business. Perhaps it is some kind of permutation of the three…

@DaretoMoveMountains car camping only have hatchback car

Colarada
Closeeee but not quite
moblie man cave 😀
And some man tunes 2 go along the road ya 😊😊😊😊
Aka my special place ✨🔥
@@tracykooken2606gotta have the tunesss to get through the miles I’ve put on this baby
At least your dogs will walk in them. 😂 my chihuahua Rico through a big tantrum and refused to walk all together. 😆 😂 🤷♀️
Really?? The first time King (black and white face) tried them on years ago, he started running around like crazy and trying to get them off. This video was his second try and zz’s first, they did pretty goood actually… try them again? I think it’s the cutest and most funny thing to experience lol
O34/35 who was following you ?
Wow!
Where are You?❤
@anothercheryladventure9387 This is in Montana, Mt Aeneas 😋
The library is great-faxing, printing docs, etc 👍
It’s nice always nice to be one with nature SO good for the soul 🫶
@@UnWindDaily2 I had been wanting more time with nature for many years, lovely to finally have some. But believe it or not, we still pop into cities because it is also needed to restock on supplies, food, propane and community is essential. Planet fitness has also been golden to us, a hot shower after not showering for 2/3 days is pure love
I love ❤ days like this where as it’s cold 🥶 out side and cook up a nice hot meal 🥘 your place looks SO cozy I’m very happy you are not alone and have one another not to mention you guys are an amazing couple GOD BLESS you both another amazing 🤩 video 🫶♥
@@UnWindDaily2 cooking meals and making coffee has kept us going in the colder states for sure!! I would love to make a soup or stew one of these days…. Thank you so much, we get on each others nerves sometimes because of how CLOSE we are literally and figuratively but I wouldn’t want to do this solo. Although, traveling alone can be such a learning experience. Keep sharing your thoughts, I love this 🌹

I've seen a truck like that 👍
Imported from Japan, pretty cool! The one you saw, was it also converted?
@DaretoMoveMountains It was. I saw it in the Mt Rainier park. It was converted just like that
@ could be the same one… I’m due for another trip to Rainer, the last time I was there it was toooo short! Favorite hikes from that park?
Oh wow the rock ground looks scary 😱 to walk on the SILENCE is a little eerie like the creeps you guys are amazing to include your viewers that was very interesting I second that I HATE the dark too what another great trip THANK YOU 🫶😁♥
What a beautiful sunset ♥
@@UnWindDaily2righttt! It was beautiful until the sunset which was magical! However, the badlands trails are rough! The trails weren’t really paved, it was just endless land with many “trails” that were a result of water passing through, animals making a path or other hikers. This made for a pretty eventful trek back to the van after dark. I didn’t record much of it! We fell a few times and I had a slight moment of panic. As far as hardest hikes I’ve done #1) Pikes Peak, Colorado 2) Badlands, South Dakota & then 3) Siyeh Bend/Glacier National Park, Montana * the one I posted the other day! Thank you for joining us on this adventure & letting me know what you think. Will keep at it ❤️🌹
Oh my gosh I just love 💕 how down to earth and funny you guys are too you guys are very natural for your viewer’s 🫶🤩♥😁 what a great backpack trip how beautiful 🤩 Thank You for sharing 👍🤩🫶🥰
@@UnWindDaily2 Thank youu, I try to bring as much of Alana here as I can. I actually decided to try something new with this one & leave a lot of our personality in it to cherish the sillier moments ❤️🌹
Such a beautiful hike my friend, scenery is absolutely stunning! What a place 🏔️🏔️
@@ervinslens thank you thank you! That means a lot coming from ya! It was a tough hike for me, my first snow hike ever! Definitely one for the books!
Thats crazy!!!!
I was pretty scared on the way up because I was afraid I may not make it back down before dark. I’m editing the full video as we speak 😎
good cookin'! i love the conversion too. what vehicle is it?
@@ThatWhiskeylovinAsianGuy Thank you! She’s a 2015 Ford Transit named Simba. This has been my home on wheels for about 6 months now. Currently struggling a bit in some of the colder states, but cooking and layers have been helping a ton!
@@DaretoMoveMountains well. i love it.
@@ThatWhiskeylovinAsianGuy Thank you thank you, she’s all over the channel if you wanna see her full mode!
Sometimes peanut butter, tuna, nuts and jerky are the go to staples, but a good warm meal hits different these days #gratitude
Looks better than the jar of peanut butter I'm working on 😆
Thanks for sharing ❤
Great capture 🔥
Please keep a lookout while in the Sheep mountain area, a missing man named Nash Quinn is suspested to have last been riding a white bike in that area, at least according to his final cell phone pings. Although it has been several months, its be nice if someone there would keep an eye out 🙏
Your rig really feels like a home. I love it guys.
@@Argansable thank youuu, we are actually trying to reorganize our clothes and sleeping gear to try and further maximize the space. Endless moving things around to make her cozy!
Dream❤
@@abrakadabra746 it was also one for me for the longest! I started a talk series on van life fundamentals to share with ya’ll what I learned along the way and how I made Van life happen. If you’re curious, check out the first one on Why Ford Transit? And why I picked my Van
👍
@@dodgecityvanlife thank youuu
Yes. Yes I do. Crisp morning sunrises for an early surf session. Quiet sunsets and a cozy campfire.
@@MyVanMonty nothing like a sunrise surf!! What are some of your favorite spots? The only place I could catch waves near NYC /on the East coast was on 97th street at Rockaway beach. Other than that, Hawaii but those waves were intense !
@@DaretoMoveMountains I’m in MA. So I head to Newport, RI or Rye, NH to surf mostly. Also have surfed in Hawaii. Gnarly waves there. Heading back to Costa Rica in January for some more!
👍 ❤
OMGoodness how cute he is hugging you
@@LifesaBeachVlog That’s King, but we now call him the Wingggg. He is a real life cuddle bear that will snuggle all night 😍❤️
@@LifesaBeachVlog he’s the baby, check out my van dogs playlist. We have some neat snippets of King and his daughter ZZ 💕
❤ home.
@@jhwygirl is Wyoming home for you?
Cool
Lovely film my friend, 🥾🥾
@@ervinslens Thank you, you film anything in the US yet?
@@DaretoMoveMountains No, however, when I arrive I already have a list and considering the size of the continent, I think I will stay for at least two months.
That’s the way to do it, two months is pretty solid. Based on your content/style, I think your lens would really appreciate Montana. Wyoming, Oregon, Colorado, Utah & Idaho. However, Maine and New Hampshire are also gorgeous. Can’t wait to see where you explore!
@@DaretoMoveMountains Exactly all the places you mentioned I planned to visit except for Maine and New Hampshire, now I'm going to do some research on that too! Zion and Colorado are places I'm especially looking forward to.
Might be drafty in the winter 🥶
@@dodgecityvanlife I might be able to pull off a decent insulation just in time for the winter haha
House hunting
@@JohnnyLawrence-p7b haha yea! 200sqft shoulddd do for the next week or so…
@@DaretoMoveMountains a week that long
wow. thank you for not sugarcoating the reality of the van life lifestyle. it is very vulnerable i bet. love the aesthetic of this vid.
@@Sam-711 That’s the goal, it’s a beautiful thing to experience for sure, but sometimes I question whether I’m doing the “right thing” so, I have to remind myself of my WHY & I chose this for myself. Lots of vulnerability at times, but I’m happy you appreciate my style 🌹
HERE A BIG LIKE FOR YOU!!!
@@Highvibrationone Thank you!!
Righttt, magical is the right worddd! Definitely love how warm it still was this time of the year too
This was a good find for me today - Day 1 of my winter sabbatical! Moving into my SUV to save money and work on my passion project. I'll move back to my Seasonal RV Site May 1st, but until then, I'll be navigating the Alberta winter on the road! I love your mindset focus - for me it's reminding myself, especially these first few weeks, exactly why I'm doing this. Looking forward to your videos!
@@probabilitiesdontdefineyou Cheers to your sabbatical and investing in that passion project! I would love to hear about it, if you want to share it with me… Alberta, as in Canada?! Jeeeez Louise, will the SUV be better for the winter than the RV? Definitely cheaper on gas and will better contribute your goal of saving cash during this time. Yes - remember what that WHY is for you.. happy I could help, I post van talks weekly - anything else you think could be useful to hear me speak about?
Damn so special!!
Thank you! This part of Wyoming reminded me of Utah, Montana and Hawaii 😮 check out the video I posted last night for more shots from this area. Let me know what you think…
Cedar Mountain??
Closeeeee, Sheep Mountain in Cody, Wyoming. I posted a video of the full hike last night if you want to see what it was like
@@DaretoMoveMountains Looked very familiar. I love Wyoming. Born and raised here.
@@freedomlineman3105 which part? It’s a state I could see myself living in down the line. Any hikes you think I should check out?
@@DaretoMoveMountains Porcupine Falls is a beautiful short hike in the Bighorns. Bucking Mule falls is a longer one that is in the same area.
Beautiful country
Yes indeed!! Hope you’re doing better than well
It really is. Wyoming is magical
