Hi Chelsea! My name is Daniel. I’m 32 and I live on Long Island. I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year. I really admire your dedication to making these videos and achieving your life goals. I would really like to meet you sometime for coffee. I’m very familiar with Queens. Keep up the good work and hope to hear from you soon. 🙂👍
Love the video! Some day trips would be great to see through you! I am more interested in renting a cabin out in the toolies than I was before watching this. I would say that two nights would let you explore the area. Have a great week!
“My capacity to love is alive” 😭 pouring it into myself living alone has truly been the most healing, safe place for me. making space for love in the future by focusing on my little corner of the world. love it 💕
"Trips like this make me excited that I'm stuck with me for the rest of my life." Love this, Chelsea. I'm also a 30-something living alone and can definitely relate. It's an empowering thing to feel content in your own company.
I am in my 30s and just quit my day job and moved back in with family in order to regroup and pick a new career path. Your videos have been so comforting, they help me feel less alone in my current existential crisis! Thank you!
you will never truly understand how much these videos save me one certain days. your little takeaways in videos where you discuss this deeper meaning to it all, always are exactly what i need to hear in my moment of distress. thank you thank you thank you for changing my lil life with your lil life - that's magic right there
In the woods, alone, that's where it's at. Mornings with coffee, the woods and yourself. For real, it's my favorite thing. You should defiantly do more of this. Not for us, but for you. It awakens something you didn't know was there.
hi! A silent viewer from Poland here :) I clicked the like button straight after the intro and the captions that nothing crazy actually happens, it made me laugh and I thought how creative you are. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate what you do and that you decided to share your life with strangers from the interwebs :) You need to know that viewers do actually see how much effort you put into your videos. Anyway, I'm just starting my work week and I'm already smiling thanks to you, Chelsea :) have a good one!
“I love this aloneness. I love being my own best friend. I know my capacity to love is alive. So why not pour that into me for now.” This sums up the last year and a half of my life living in NYC. I had to learn how to truly love my aloneness because i moved alone and no one tells you how hard it is. It’s still a work in progress, but i’ve learned so much about myself and how i show up for others but also for me. I spent a couple days last summer in a tiny house. There’s something about the silence that is magical. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
The day trip was fun. For future if you want to start a fire, you can find drier kindling (twinge,branches, leaves) nearer drier spots under big trees. Then with your fire starter start it in that little kindling and then start to add the shavings or loose pieces from the dry wood. Then put it under the big logs once you have it started. Just some advice totally don’t have to use it. So proud of you for pushing out of your comfort zone!
This is the type of video that YT needs. If Chelsea can be this vulnerable on the internet for literally the world so can you irl nothing is never as big of a deal as we make it out to be and no one cares as much as you think they do
So sorry about your tooth! I had an extraction in September of 2022 - they had to add bone powder into the cavity where the implant was going to go so that good bone would grow around it. It was supposed to take 3 months and mine took 6! I did take extra calcium and D3 to help the process. Got the implant and then that took some time to heal up and the bone to grow around it. Then the prep, etc etc. All in all my process was 14 months; I do feel confident that I got the best service I could have gotten, rather than hurry up and get it done. It is no fun to have an implant fail, from what others have told me. I was able to utilize CareCredit, which was very helpful to help pay the costs not covered by my insurance, as the charges are made as each process is completed.
Love this tiny house, the light in there is everything! Even the screaming toilet is tolerable 😂 I’ve become obsessed with tiny homes & find myself watching tiny house nation, tiny house hunters & others quite a bit. At the end of the day we really don’t need much. Somewhere to sleep, to prepare, to shower/do our business and shelter from the weather. I am a city person, who dreams of someday having a piece of land where I can put a tiny house and also get Amazon deliveries and have Internet access. I don’t think I would need much more. Thanks for another great video Chelsea!
i have always wanted to spend some time living in a tiny home - the whole idea of thoughtful space designing and super creative multi-functional things in a small space makes my brain light up like a christmas tree lol
Build a standing triangle with small pieces of wood, put twigs and pine needles, pine cones, paper inside the base of the triangle. Bark is also a good fire starter. Once the triangle catches fire gradually add bigger pieces of wood.
YES I love this!! Yes, you (all of us) have more love to give than we think! The fact you love being your own best friend is HUGE! Your trip out of the city is sooooo inspiring to so many of us including me, very empowering to women of all ages. I'd love to see more videos of you getting out of the city (I'm a hiking & camping girl), or really any kind of adventure you get up to. Facing fears and "just doing it" definitely resonates with me as I'm in a similar situation, except in a new job/career - turning over a new leaf and just being myself. Thank you for the inspiration!💙
I live in a tiny house full time in Montana. I absolutely love it. Your expenses are minimal and you can buy the expensive things because you don't need a lot of them. Enjoyed your video.🎉
ive always been intrigued with a tiny house. I have become more and more a minimalist. purging random "things" that dont serve me. I cant now, I am shacked up with my man of 13 years, and still have one graduated kid with us the odd time, but it is something that has always intrigued me. I am glad you had a nice time and got out of your comfort zone!
I LOVE that tiny house! I'm already planning to do a similar trip for myself soon! Up north here in California is amazing this time of year 🎉😊 I love watching your videos on shuffle on my day off while doing laundry 🧺
I am 69 years old and when I was a young girl I was told no you can't do that! Your purpose in life is to be married and have kids. I never had the nerve to do what you have done. Looking back, I wish I did. So impressed with what you have accomplished. Your Jewish Grandmother.
Just want to say how helpful your videos are! I too am a 31 y.o. anxious, single girlie living alone (with her cat - who also reveals to me my capacity to love)! Anyway, here to say your videos are relatable, comforting, and inspiring. :)) Thank you for sharing all that you do with us.
So enjoyed this video! It’s great to get out of your comfort zone from time to time and this Airbnb-in-the-woods adventure was cool. Bummer about the firewood being too damp for the fire pit but you seemed really content there. Here’s to more little (or big) adventures in the future. Have a great week! 😊
Currently I‘m not able to challenge my fears. Since about 2 years. Now I‘m single and have my own place… maybe soon I will and if not it is also gooood. I‘m living my life with my cat and I never ever want to go overdraft with my bank account again (accept emergencys). I need to heal myself I haven‘t done selfcare in a long time I just existed and worked. Your videos are the start for a little selfcare 🧡
Hi Chelsea, always remember that the little time you had with Phoebe and she had with you, both of you were happier than without each other! It's about quality, not quantity. Losing a pet is heartbreaking but we can make shelter pet's lives so much better and they give us so much back. Cheers from Germany.
I lived in a tiny house that my sister and brother and law built and LOVED IT. it was abt 180sqft w 2 lofts and it was everything I needed. I don’t know if i’d do it again just because i’ve grown to love having separate living spaces (ie bedroom, living room, office) but for the year that I lived there, it was great!! I would totally recommend it if you’re someone who’s looking to downgrade square footage and don’t more than one room for all activities. I will say, things like puzzling and board game type activities that take up large amounts of space are not conducive to tiny house living😅
Youth is wasted on the young. And I feel like you're a very brave person. I, too, spend a great amount of time alone. I am enjoying bimge watching your vids while I recover from my pacemaker insertion and Covid which I picked up in the hospital (and, no, I am not elderly, just 10 years older than you).
I am so impressed that you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone. I would have been so scared on my own in the woods. I am a what if type of person, but I do want to push myself to do more this year. It is so hard when you are on your own with no family though.
This entire video is amazing but the drive home + drone shot at 18:44 legit gave me the biggest smile. There’s nothing like getting away for a bit or the rush you get after doing something you were nervous about. Glad you had a great time!
Chelsea you are not the only one who likes taking solo adventures. I have visited NYC four times, and two of those trips have been solo trips. My upcoming trip to NYC in May is a solo trip. Please keep up the great work with your TH-cam channel!
As someone who is in exposure therapy this was amazing to watch. Youre just a gem. I feel so connected to this whole thing, tooth included lol. Thanks for your vulnerability
You have inspired me watching your mini vacation ❤ There's a TH-camr I used to follow who would go "glamping" all over the continental US but she would do these trips up to 3x a month, no joke (She got A LOT of financial help after her divorce). I had to stop watching that kind of indulgence. Bottom line, I feel refreshed and excited to find my own first glamping experience thanks to you
Love seeing you go on new adventures! Big ones or small ones, let’s explore new things, take advantage of this season of life to be a student of life, or as I like to call it a tourist of life.
Hi Chelsea….. I was a silent watcher just caught up with the videos and ready to speak!! I am LiL and I live over the pond in the UK, just want to say from watching i can see the change in you, you have been finding yourself and it looks like you are on track….. you now look so well and energised… go girl ! Love and bear hugs..xx❤
13:03 I don’t find your videos boring at all. I like that you’re not schilling products CONSTANTLY…..link this, link that…and you’re not portraying some unrealistic, unattainable, fake life. I love it. Your videos are probably the most real out there. Thank you for that!!
There is nothing boring about your content. I appreciate that it is calm and thoughtful. And while you do have sponsors, I don’t feel like I’m marketed to. Thank you for posting. 😊
That was a lot of fun-- take us on day trips! At first I thought you were going to stay in a tent in the woods, lol. That place was really cute. I love to watch tiny house and van life videos, and I wouldn't mind short-term stays, but I do like having a house with several rooms and space. What a great idea to give yourself challenges and some quiet time as well. FYI-- you can make any tea decaf by steeping the tea bag in a little bit of hot water for like 45 seconds and then dumping that out and make your tea with new water. The caffeine is released right away in the steeping process so you can get rid of most of the caffeine this way.
2024 really is a year of facing fears! Im currently going through a long term break up (11 years) , and moving out on my own in the city for the first time - as a 31 year old. Im terrified but just so looking forward to my future. Also.. i feel ya on the driving lol Thank you for your videos! I feel less alone knowing theres other like me going through similar situations! Heres to all of you changing your lives for the better!
i absolutely adore that you got out of town, had some solitude in nature and chose to take the time to remember Phoebe and reflect on your time with her, and your honest realization about your capacity to love. it totally choked me up and i totally get that statement and felt it in my heart.
Beacon is an amazing weekend trip from NYC! I went last Feb. It has the cutest Main Street and a cool art museum, all accessible by train and walking. Also Omega Institute in Rhinebeck for a priceeey but very meditative experience. I love your solo reflections and trips!
I can so relate to you about enjoying your time alone. You are fortunate to know this at your age. It took me a long time to realize it is okay to be alone. Love your video.
I feel the exact same anxiety when driving!! I never used to, which is the mind boggling part. I don't know when or why it started happening, maybe all the drives to the hospital for my Dad, but I really, really want to move past it and this video was encouraging. I'm already thinking of where I can go ☺
You have to do a trip up to the Adirondacks in the summer!! You won't be disappointed it's beautiful up there. But you have to stay/see Lake Placid Adirondacks not any further south ( bc anything south of exit 30 is not the real adirondacks in my book lol) The mountains are gorgeous and the amount of lakes with nice beaches to chill out on near lake placid are endless!
I just love this video, its so nice to see you getting out of your comfort zone and doing scary stuff. As someone who lives alone I love spend time with myself and seeing that I'm not the only one it's really nice.
Your narration and writing skills are 🔥 , Chelsea. I think most people probably think the main thing about making videos for TH-cam is the filming and visuals, but geeeez, your ability to expess the nuances and fine points of life and living? #blownaway Yeah. Your writing is phenomenal!
I can’t believe u did that u should be extremely proud of yourself. From ur thumbnail I didn’t even know it was u then I was like oh sh*! That’s Chelsea. Congratulations on that solo adventure.
Super cool, Chelsea! More day trips would be awesome. One of my few regrets living in NYC was that I didn’t take many upstate trips out of the city. I’m not a big nature person, but this looked vv dope. 👍🏾 Also: You’re 5’9”? I wouldn’t have guessed that!
Sometimes I don’t know what to comment in every video. But I decided to at least say “Tahnk you Chelsea”… to make videos takes a lot of time and creativity. And editing is frustrating sometimes. You’re doing great. You should be proud of yourself. I’m happy for your life and mental health! ❤
ha! what fun! i just on friday drove one and a half hours to the pacific ocean for an hour long walk on the beach and snacks in the car before driving home. I saw rainbows and a fella in a packer cap to remind me of home. It was very energizing and i was way more excited to be home again, rather than staying in and talking myself out of going away for the day. I loved your experience to remind us all to try new things, even if it's not a long amount of time. :)
Seriously, what the heck was that toilet?? This was so enjoyable. Now I want to go spend the night in a tiny house in the middle of nowhere. Good job, Chelsea!! I am proud of you for pushing your limits.
I’m a stranger of course but I subscribe to your channel and love when you post. Great job on pushing yourself out of your comfort zone I hope you’re enjoying all these accomplishments. Can’t wait to see your next adventure.
Such a cool adventure, hope it inspired you to take other trips alone! Travelling alone is one of my favourite ways to show love to myself, it makes me feel so proud and strong. The cabin you rented looks straight out of a movie, such a wonderful place, and so good that you had time to rest, read, reflect while surrounded by nature 💚
I am loving 2024 Chelsea even more!!! 😂 This vlog was such a good watch, and funny!! You remind me so much of myself and it’s a comfort to see I’m not alone. As always, please never change, Chelsea! 😊
@@ChelseaCallahan no I mean just as a day trip take the train to beacon. You don’t need a car to explore beacon. Main Street is walkable. The DIA is interesting if your in to art. Look up some TH-cam videos of beacon.
Calm isn't boring- it's peaceful! Happy to see you build a happy life for yourself. I feel like I totally jinxed 2024 by asking for a calm year where we stay at home lol wishing everyone peace and good vibes!
ugh i love your commentary, especially when you were talking about being content in solitude. it’s so real and i think learning to love your own company is one of the best things to learn in this life x
You are become more and more real Chelsea Callahan, you’re rocking it ❤. I love a tiny house and what a way to test one out, so great to see you out of the apartment. I’d love a tiny house but just to difficult in places I like to live in. Please do more of the nights away like this, getting out of your home zone is important. Good luck with the implant, lots of money. And well done on showing us the tooth gap 🙌. I’m betting your subscribers will increase the more real you become to us all. I love your work ❤❤
Please read this before you get your tooth implant. I went through something similar with a tooth in the front and also got an implant when I had no dental insurance. You may already know about this but if not…There is a credit card called CARE CREDIT that you can get that covers any medical expense with a 0% interest rate. You can apply online and approval is quick. If you call in to apply, you can request a line of credit that would cover the cost of an implant, which runs $5,000 at a minimum. I got mine in IN, NY may be higher. Just check with the oral surgeon who is doing the implant to be sure they accept Care Credit but I believe most do since dental insurance isn’t always the best as far as coverage goes. Good luck to you. I’ve had my implant for about 7 years now, have had no problems and it looks good.😄
I'm glad you had a good experience with your implant! I do have care credit, it's been super helpful :) sadly I had to get referred to another dentist who doesn't accept care credit as a form of payment which was sad :(
How to make a fire: start with *dry pine needles/leaves/ paper/ bark - put it in the bottom in a lose pile, then grab small twigs and loosely build a pyramid structure with them like a teepee. Light the leaves and once the twigs burn slowly and steadily add on bigger and bigger branches until the fire grows to where you can put a log on.
The best medicine and therapy I know. Is going camping and being away from the strains of life. Me and my family have been camping for more than 30 years. I highly recommend it. Looking at the star at night is awesome.
Short Kings hearts are breaking worldwide 😂 i needed to hear this perspective and it makes me feel like i am not soooo crazy after all. I hope that others seeing this also feel connection as i have. It has been a rough couple years for all us humans and losing loved ones (rip to NYCs most loved bunny), and going through a divorce in your 30s is soul crushing most days. But, it is so heartwarming to see sould like our Queen Chelsea waking up, showing up, and greeting life in all its pain, laughter, joy, and anger with grace and kindness. Thanks for being you and thanks to the kind community here that i have leaned on recently. Hope all are well and love y'all. Keep getting up!! ❤
Chelsea, the way you articulate your thoughts and emotions have resonated many times. It's amazing how people from complete different backgrounds can have similar perspectives. I'm grateful I stumbled upon your channel :)
I love being alone like this. I love solo trips and spending time at home, making coffee/tea, reading, watching TH-cam or TV shows. I'm 30 now, and recently I had been blaming myself for choosing this kind of lifestyle, but at the moment I'm fully accepting it and do not regret anymore. Love you, Chelsea, good luck and be happy with yourself!
LOL - this was my EXACT same feeling when renting a car for the first time and driving through Tuscany all on my own. It was AWESOME. So proud of you Chelsea!!
I dare you to go to a Central or South American country, fly to a small resort on a Cessna, stay in a room under a mosquito net, and try food that you’ve never had. I once did this and it was liberating and unforgettable because it was not as bad as I thought it was. It was a great experience and I’ve gone to several different places like this. I can’t wait to go back!
thank you for continuing to share your journey!! your videos always remind me that today's troubles are tomorrow's triumphs and we are capable of so much. see ya in the next one 🩵
On another note can we acknowledge how brave Chelsea is for giving us a side view of her driving. If it were me it would’ve been giving Ed from 90 day fiancé. She’s so pretty and precious
Wow ! What a great lil getaway, Chelsea ! Hopewell Junction, NY ! Love it! Home of the original, Legendary Towne Crier Cafe / Coffeehouse! I’ve been there @ least twice ( like in 1979 & 1980! ) to see touring folksingers back in the day, whiie visiting good friends nearby. It was vintage ! Like an old 1800s general store / combo wagon stop / inn for passing thru travelers. So charming & inviting! Now the TC has moved. Still legendary , & revered by performers & fans ! I love your lil remote & rustic tiny home here! I love how you are so adventurous & you just go for it ! A girl after my own heart ! In response to your question, yes ! More lil day trip / w’end adventures , please ! But keep the “home body” content, too ! Thatz my fav ! Tons of love , Liz
Would definitely watch more of your day trips or even 2-days trips with you cracking that fire, some cooking and nature, and chats, of course. Kisses from the Netherlands
I am not someone who would ever do a road trip alone so hats off to you girl! Maybe one day ill get there but my driving anxiety is too much when im far from home.
I hope you enjoyed the getaway! It looked really peaceful! I’m glad that you decided to share this piece of your life, and it’s really reassuring to see how ‘normal’ life can be. No glorifying or skipping the hardships for the views. We are only humans and you capture it in such a sensitive way! It feels like watching my older sister, talking about her everyday. Thanks for being the online sister 😊 Your apartment series is also very real and I can so relate to the struggles that fall behind all that you show us. I’m about to move out to my apartment and watching you go through the ups and downs made me realize that it’s totally fine to have them, too. Wishing you a great week!
Love this!! I always feel really refreshed after solo day trips and find them a lot more accessible than long holidays. Hope you had a great time and the dentist went well. Cabin in the woods looked SO COOL.
@17:27 this is the reason why I love your videos I promise you we think alike LOL. I would've loved this little home in the woods also. So glad you gave yourself such a wonderful visual treat. I will forever say I am rubbing my feet together like a little cricket
Hi everyone! This was a fun one to make. Hope you’re having a great weekend 💖💖💖

Build a standing triangle with small pieces of wood, put twigs and pine needles, pine cones, paper inside the base of the triangle. Bark is also a good fire starter.
Once the triangle catches fire gradually add bigger pieces of wood.
But the wood was wet.
Lighter fluid will get it to catch, and the lighter stuff will help warm up and dry the bigger logs. They'll then catch and steam themselves.

I need to heal myself I haven‘t done selfcare in a long time I just existed and worked.
Your videos are the start for a little selfcare 🧡
Hi Chelsea,
always remember that the little time you had with Phoebe and she had with you, both of you were happier than without each other! It's about quality, not quantity. Losing a pet is heartbreaking but we can make shelter pet's lives so much better and they give us so much back. Cheers from Germany.
I lived in a tiny house that my sister and brother and law built and LOVED IT. it was abt 180sqft w 2 lofts and it was everything I needed. I don’t know if i’d do it again just because i’ve grown to love having separate living spaces (ie bedroom, living room, office) but for the year that I lived there, it was great!! I would totally recommend it if you’re someone who’s looking to downgrade square footage and don’t more than one room for all activities. I will say, things like puzzling and board game type activities that take up large amounts of space are not conducive to tiny house living😅
Youth is wasted on the young. And I feel like you're a very brave person. I, too, spend a great amount of time alone. I am enjoying bimge watching your vids while I recover from my pacemaker insertion and Covid which I picked up in the hospital (and, no, I am not elderly, just 10 years older than you).
I am so impressed that you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone. I would have been so scared on my own in the woods. I am a what if type of person, but I do want to push myself to do more this year. It is so hard when you are on your own with no family though.
Fun vlog 😊
This entire video is amazing but the drive home + drone shot at 18:44 legit gave me the biggest smile. There’s nothing like getting away for a bit or the rush you get after doing something you were nervous about. Glad you had a great time!
Chelsea you are not the only one who likes taking solo adventures. I have visited NYC four times, and two of those trips have been solo trips. My upcoming trip to NYC in May is a solo trip. Please keep up the great work with your TH-cam channel!
I belly laughed multiple times during this video. Thanks for the chuckle, Chelsea! Hope your trip was restorative.
As someone who is in exposure therapy this was amazing to watch. Youre just a gem. I feel so connected to this whole thing, tooth included lol. Thanks for your vulnerability
You have inspired me watching your mini vacation ❤
There's a TH-camr I used to follow who would go "glamping" all over the continental US but she would do these trips up to 3x a month, no joke (She got A LOT of financial help after her divorce). I had to stop watching that kind of indulgence.
Bottom line, I feel refreshed and excited to find my own first glamping experience thanks to you
I’m obsessed with tiny houses!! It’s my dream ❤
Love seeing you go on new adventures! Big ones or small ones, let’s explore new things, take advantage of this season of life to be a student of life, or as I like to call it a tourist of life.
Hi Chelsea….. I was a silent watcher just caught up with the videos and ready to speak!! I am LiL and I live over the pond in the UK, just want to say from watching i can see the change in you, you have been finding yourself and it looks like you are on track….. you now look so well and energised… go girl !
Love and bear hugs..xx❤
So nice to meet you ❤️ thanks for your kind words!!!
13:03 I don’t find your videos boring at all. I like that you’re not schilling products CONSTANTLY…..link this, link that…and you’re not portraying some unrealistic, unattainable, fake life. I love it. Your videos are probably the most real out there. Thank you for that!!
Is that a real thing "schilling" products? Just curious.
There is nothing boring about your content. I appreciate that it is calm and thoughtful. And while you do have sponsors, I don’t feel like I’m marketed to. Thank you for posting. 😊
That was a lot of fun-- take us on day trips! At first I thought you were going to stay in a tent in the woods, lol. That place was really cute. I love to watch tiny house and van life videos, and I wouldn't mind short-term stays, but I do like having a house with several rooms and space. What a great idea to give yourself challenges and some quiet time as well.
FYI-- you can make any tea decaf by steeping the tea bag in a little bit of hot water for like 45 seconds and then dumping that out and make your tea with new water. The caffeine is released right away in the steeping process so you can get rid of most of the caffeine this way.
I did not know that! Thank you!
Loved the day trip. You made me se how routine-bound I have been.
2024 really is a year of facing fears! Im currently going through a long term break up (11 years) , and moving out on my own in the city for the first time - as a 31 year old. Im terrified but just so looking forward to my future. Also.. i feel ya on the driving lol Thank you for your videos! I feel less alone knowing theres other like me going through similar situations! Heres to all of you changing your lives for the better!
i absolutely adore that you got out of town, had some solitude in nature and chose to take the time to remember Phoebe and reflect on your time with her, and your honest realization about your capacity to love. it totally choked me up and i totally get that statement and felt it in my heart.
Beacon is an amazing weekend trip from NYC! I went last Feb. It has the cutest Main Street and a cool art museum, all accessible by train and walking. Also Omega Institute in Rhinebeck for a priceeey but very meditative experience. I love your solo reflections and trips!
haha i was giggling so much at your in the car "we did it, we took an exit everybody" haha i love that!
I can so relate to you about enjoying your time alone. You are fortunate to know this at your age. It took me a long time to realize it is okay to be alone. Love your video.
I feel the exact same anxiety when driving!! I never used to, which is the mind boggling part. I don't know when or why it started happening, maybe all the drives to the hospital for my Dad, but I really, really want to move past it and this video was encouraging. I'm already thinking of where I can go ☺
You have to do a trip up to the Adirondacks in the summer!! You won't be disappointed it's beautiful up there. But you have to stay/see Lake Placid Adirondacks not any further south ( bc anything south of exit 30 is not the real adirondacks in my book lol) The mountains are gorgeous and the amount of lakes with nice beaches to chill out on near lake placid are endless!
I just love this video, its so nice to see you getting out of your comfort zone and doing scary stuff. As someone who lives alone I love spend time with myself and seeing that I'm not the only one it's really nice.
Chelsea, your videos aren't boring. We are watching you grow, and watching your self-realization. And that's amazing.
I was so scared when that bear was at the window. 😮 im glad youre ok.
Your narration and writing skills are 🔥 , Chelsea. I think most people probably think the main thing about making videos for TH-cam is the filming and visuals, but geeeez, your ability to expess the nuances and fine points of life and living? #blownaway Yeah. Your writing is phenomenal!
Wow thank you so much 😭❤️
I can’t believe u did that u should be extremely proud of yourself. From ur thumbnail I didn’t even know it was u then I was like oh sh*! That’s Chelsea. Congratulations on that solo adventure.
Super cool, Chelsea! More day trips would be awesome. One of my few regrets living in NYC was that I didn’t take many upstate trips out of the city. I’m not a big nature person, but this looked vv dope. 👍🏾 Also: You’re 5’9”? I wouldn’t have guessed that!
Sometimes I don’t know what to comment in every video. But I decided to at least say “Tahnk you Chelsea”… to make videos takes a lot of time and creativity. And editing is frustrating sometimes. You’re doing great. You should be proud of yourself. I’m happy for your life and mental health! ❤
Totally felt you during the driving sections, as someone who also has driving anxiety. That cabin looked worth it, though!
ha! what fun! i just on friday drove one and a half hours to the pacific ocean for an hour long walk on the beach and snacks in the car before driving home. I saw rainbows and a fella in a packer cap to remind me of home. It was very energizing and i was way more excited to be home again, rather than staying in and talking myself out of going away for the day. I loved your experience to remind us all to try new things, even if it's not a long amount of time. :)
Seriously, what the heck was that toilet?? This was so enjoyable. Now I want to go spend the night in a tiny house in the middle of nowhere. Good job, Chelsea!!
I am proud of you for pushing your limits.
3:26 OMG 😳🤣🤣 i was not expecting that
You are very Brave! Woods, Cabin by yourself! Bet that was relaxing and refreshing.
I’m a stranger of course but I subscribe to your channel and love when you post. Great job on pushing yourself out of your comfort zone I hope you’re enjoying all these accomplishments. Can’t wait to see your next adventure.
i love this whole video, but i have to say that the car screams were the best part for me, i FELT THOSE SCREAMS!!
Such a cool adventure, hope it inspired you to take other trips alone! Travelling alone is one of my favourite ways to show love to myself, it makes me feel so proud and strong. The cabin you rented looks straight out of a movie, such a wonderful place, and so good that you had time to rest, read, reflect while surrounded by nature 💚
I am loving 2024 Chelsea even more!!! 😂 This vlog was such a good watch, and funny!! You remind me so much of myself and it’s a comfort to see I’m not alone. As always, please never change, Chelsea! 😊
Take the train from grand central to beacon. No car needed. Great day trip.
It was a bit of a drive from the beacon train station! And I just didnt feel safe taking an Uber alone in the woods haha
@@ChelseaCallahan no I mean just as a day trip take the train to beacon. You don’t need a car to explore beacon. Main Street is walkable. The DIA is interesting if your in to art. Look up some TH-cam videos of beacon.
Loved this type of video. I'd have been petrified staying there at night. You're so brave 😊
Calm isn't boring- it's peaceful! Happy to see you build a happy life for yourself. I feel like I totally jinxed 2024 by asking for a calm year where we stay at home lol wishing everyone peace and good vibes!
Hi Chelsea. I like the day trip every now and then but I prefer the you at home or around town, being an introvert myself.
ugh i love your commentary, especially when you were talking about being content in solitude. it’s so real and i think learning to love your own company is one of the best things to learn in this life x
You are become more and more real Chelsea Callahan, you’re rocking it ❤. I love a tiny house and what a way to test one out, so great to see you out of the apartment. I’d love a tiny house but just to difficult in places I like to live in. Please do more of the nights away like this, getting out of your home zone is important. Good luck with the implant, lots of money. And well done on showing us the tooth gap 🙌. I’m betting your subscribers will increase the more real you become to us all. I love your work ❤❤
Please read this before you get your tooth implant. I went through something similar with a tooth in the front and also got an implant when I had no dental insurance. You may already know about this but if not…There is a credit card called CARE CREDIT that you can get that covers any medical expense with a 0% interest rate. You can apply online and approval is quick. If you call in to apply, you can request a line of credit that would cover the cost of an implant, which runs $5,000 at a minimum. I got mine in IN, NY may be higher. Just check with the oral surgeon who is doing the implant to be sure they accept Care Credit but I believe most do since dental insurance isn’t always the best as far as coverage goes. Good luck to you. I’ve had my implant for about 7 years now, have had no problems and it looks good.😄
I'm glad you had a good experience with your implant! I do have care credit, it's been super helpful :) sadly I had to get referred to another dentist who doesn't accept care credit as a form of payment which was sad :(
How to make a fire: start with *dry pine needles/leaves/ paper/ bark - put it in the bottom in a lose pile, then grab small twigs and loosely build a pyramid structure with them like a teepee. Light the leaves and once the twigs burn slowly and steadily add on bigger and bigger branches until the fire grows to where you can put a log on.
It’s great to have some aloneness from time to time.
The best medicine and therapy I know. Is going camping and being away from the strains of life. Me and my family have been camping for more than 30 years. I highly recommend it. Looking at the star at night is awesome.
Short Kings hearts are breaking worldwide 😂 i needed to hear this perspective and it makes me feel like i am not soooo crazy after all. I hope that others seeing this also feel connection as i have. It has been a rough couple years for all us humans and losing loved ones (rip to NYCs most loved bunny), and going through a divorce in your 30s is soul crushing most days. But, it is so heartwarming to see sould like our Queen Chelsea waking up, showing up, and greeting life in all its pain, laughter, joy, and anger with grace and kindness. Thanks for being you and thanks to the kind community here that i have leaned on recently. Hope all are well and love y'all. Keep getting up!! ❤
Loved this video and I love tiny houses I really think you would to .I would love to see more get away videos .safe travels.😊
Chelsea, the way you articulate your thoughts and emotions have resonated many times. It's amazing how people from complete different backgrounds can have similar perspectives. I'm grateful I stumbled upon your channel :)
I love being alone like this. I love solo trips and spending time at home, making coffee/tea, reading, watching TH-cam or TV shows. I'm 30 now, and recently I had been blaming myself for choosing this kind of lifestyle, but at the moment I'm fully accepting it and do not regret anymore. Love you, Chelsea, good luck and be happy with yourself!
I Deeply enjoy the slower paced content!! and the more busy, action-packed videos, as well :)
LOL - this was my EXACT same feeling when renting a car for the first time and driving through Tuscany all on my own. It was AWESOME. So proud of you Chelsea!!
I have enjoyed watching you learn what you are capable of doing while enjoying your own company. Keep these blogs coming! ❤❤
I dare you to go to a Central or South American country, fly to a small resort on a Cessna, stay in a room under a mosquito net, and try food that you’ve never had. I once did this and it was liberating and unforgettable because it was not as bad as I thought it was. It was a great experience and I’ve gone to several different places like this. I can’t wait to go back!
You should totally do more of these
Yes, do more day/weekend trips for sure!
Great video! Your videos are so calming to me - I love watching them! ❤
thank you for continuing to share your journey!! your videos always remind me that today's troubles are tomorrow's triumphs and we are capable of so much. see ya in the next one 🩵
On another note can we acknowledge how brave Chelsea is for giving us a side view of her driving. If it were me it would’ve been giving Ed from 90 day fiancé. She’s so pretty and precious
A tiny house has literally been my life goal! I want to live in a tiny community but with land for everyone! Loved this cute little place!
Wow ! What a great lil getaway, Chelsea ! Hopewell Junction, NY ! Love it! Home of the original, Legendary Towne Crier Cafe / Coffeehouse! I’ve been there @ least twice ( like in 1979 & 1980! ) to see touring folksingers back in the day, whiie visiting good friends nearby. It was vintage ! Like an old 1800s general store / combo wagon stop / inn for passing thru travelers. So charming & inviting! Now the TC has moved. Still legendary , & revered by performers & fans !
I love your lil remote & rustic tiny home here! I love how you are so adventurous & you just go for it ! A girl after my own heart ! In response to your question, yes ! More lil day trip / w’end adventures , please ! But keep the “home body” content, too ! Thatz my fav ! Tons of love , Liz
Would definitely watch more of your day trips or even 2-days trips with you cracking that fire, some cooking and nature, and chats, of course. Kisses from the Netherlands
I am not someone who would ever do a road trip alone so hats off to you girl! Maybe one day ill get there but my driving anxiety is too much when im far from home.
I hope you enjoyed the getaway! It looked really peaceful! I’m glad that you decided to share this piece of your life, and it’s really reassuring to see how ‘normal’ life can be. No glorifying or skipping the hardships for the views. We are only humans and you capture it in such a sensitive way! It feels like watching my older sister, talking about her everyday. Thanks for being the online sister 😊
Your apartment series is also very real and I can so relate to the struggles that fall behind all that you show us. I’m about to move out to my apartment and watching you go through the ups and downs made me realize that it’s totally fine to have them, too.
Wishing you a great week!
lol it is great to see you again Chelsea, this one was a fun one to watch! I got hyped for life just watching your excitement:)
❤️❤️❤️
Love this!! I always feel really refreshed after solo day trips and find them a lot more accessible than long holidays. Hope you had a great time and the dentist went well. Cabin in the woods looked SO COOL.
@17:27 this is the reason why I love your videos I promise you we think alike LOL. I would've loved this little home in the woods also. So glad you gave yourself such a wonderful visual treat. I will forever say I am rubbing my feet together like a little cricket
That was brilliant I could feel your freedom x
