Amen on the not knocking and thank you for the short talk about standard practices. And, so great to give a little perspective about this is my bedroom. I think those things are super helpful. Thank you
As someone who also struggles with both large crowds and public speaking I have a lot of respect and admiration for the amount of courage and determination your showing. I suspect you'll find a lot of kindred spirits at RTR and I hope it goes well for you.
I am truly admiring your honesty in these daily vlogs. As many years as I have been watching you, I don’t think I’ve seen this level of sharing/honesty. That is courage.
Yes, RTR is a mass gathering, but MOST are bonified van Dwellers and many long time dwellers. You CAN remove yourself to the desert unless you've contracted to stay in town. Many of us respect the space n the privacy even if we're camping "near" one another if we're OLD SCHOOL! YOU CAN DO THIS! REMEMBER it's about teaching others the wealth of knowledge, traditions and experience you hv to tell and show! YOUR A ROCK STAR in the Van 🌎 world!❤
@tidelinetoalpine your very welcome my friend. U GOT THIS! Just remember it's ok to not be comfortable in this kind of setting, and it IS draining. So take personal time when u need it 👍
I'm having a tough time mentally right now, and these daily videos are helping me in so many ways. You've inspired me to live my life in the way that suits me and my dog Timmy T. I have a plan to get to that point, but the going is slow. Each video of yours is a reminder of what I'm working for now so we can be free later. I'm so very glad you're feeling better and in such better spirits! Give Frank some extra scritches from me and TT. We love you both! 25:35
It means so much to me that my video mean so much to you. Tough time always pass and someday you’ll be on the other side looking back and be so proud of the changes you made.
It was so cool to watch you explore the tastes of your dinner. A winning combination! Giving back to the nomad community is great and could have a positive effect for you too.
It’s so funny. No matter where I am listening to your channel, as soon as my dog hears your voice she starts interacting with it. I think she loves Frank. Well, I know I do. 🥰
Hi Amanda,good to see your migraine is gone and that you are up and about. Looking so much better and sounding like yourself….be safe on your drive…..lots of us are worried about your health and the travel conditions for you….hugs to you and frank….
✨You and Frank are AMAZING ✨ The beautiful desert is right there if RTR doesn't treat you two thoughtfully...many of us feel as you do. Enjoying the dailiy videos 🤩 Thank you ~
So glad your feeling better, Amanda 🤗 My migraine triggers are fragrances, fumes, eye strain, mold & changes in barometric pressure 🤕 That incoming storm would have laid me _OUT_ ! “Some people may be more sensitive to weather changes experiencing more joint stiffness, pain, and swelling with a barometric pressure decline. Scientists suggest a fall in air pressure allows the tissues (including muscles and tendons) to swell or expand.”
Big snowstorm came in today and I got a migraine. Barometric pressure sensitivity is really a thing. Got my meds in just in time and felt better in about 4 hours.
I expect it had an effect and interesting to hear about the effects on the joints because I also hurt my knee doing nothing but didn’t say anything in a video.
💜✨ty, @tidelinetoaline ✨🧡 you are generously sharing a glimpse of your day-to-day! I had no idea all the things you have to coordinate just to get on the road every day!
An Amanda vlog everyday? Heaven! Maybe, just maybe, no one will knock, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find your balance of social and quiet alone time - and all will be well. What we focus on, we find. Perhaps it will be magic and fabulous with no encroaching. And if that is the intention, maybe, just maybe you will feel liberated from your fears. We all have them. I hope you are healthy and happy, Amanda. So much respect for your wisdom, your process, and your courage.
Quartzsite is a very large area, and there are places to camp that are far away from others. I too struggle with being around lots of people, so I tend to camp a few miles outside of the popular areas.
I'm glad to see you doing well. ✨️I completely understand the camera focusing on Frank! It was so cute when Frank didn't want to go in. All the best to everyone, but especially Sweet Frank. ✨️
So glad you rebounded so well. I really appreciate your efforts to up load quality videos. Posting daily is a lot of work especially when you’re on a tight schedule.
❇️ ❇️ ❇️ - on, Lady! I can proudly say that I’m very excited to see your trip and I’m certain I’m not the only one. Happy trails to you & Frankie-boy. ❤
Gosh Amanda, you are so awesome and I struggle finding words of encouragement. All I can say is Wow! Going through the physical problrmd ehile driving, dealing with Mr Frank, over zealous people with no manors, and the stress of RTR. Filming, editing & uploading every single day is amazing. I believe you are Superwoman Amanda with her sidekick Friendly Franklin. 🤨 Hope this comment is not as tacky as it sounds to me 😁 Sendin Grandmama love ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾
When you head back north....thru Nevada....if you plans are not set in stone, I can give you a dropped pin for a gloriously crystal clear, secret, 4 ft deep hot spring that no one knows about. One of the most special places I found in my 8 years of full timing.
I think it's great you are educating people regarding what to do when approaching a closed van! My van is my private space and I don't really want to be disturbed when I am inside and my doors are closed. I think there are many "newbies" who don't know the protocol. It helps for TH-camrs to explain this! Keep up the good work with the videos! You are doing awesome with the regular posts! I am impressed!
Hey Amanda, I am so glad to see you look so Much better today’s video than yesterday. I am so happy you are feeling better and you are going to do well at the RTR you’re a great speaker. You do great videos. You’re an awesome person. I hope everybody respects your privacy. I hope they all respect each other’s privacy. Thanks for sharing. You and Frank. Be safe and stay warm.🇺🇸♥️🙏🙂👍🐾🚐🏔️🇨🇦
As someone from the UK who is likely to never drive those roads or attend the RTR I am so grateful to you and Frankie for documenting your journey. I’ve been full time for 3 years now and still find the ‘community’ aspect of this life style challenging. I love how you are jumping into this with a great head space. 💚🙏
Glad you are feeling better!!! I am one of your fans that love your daily videos. You are spoiling us. As for the 'knocking on your door', I agree is very very rude!!!! Try not to stress about it, you have nothing to feel guilty about!!!!!
✨ a bit of nostalgia for me with this series and always love your honesty around your boundaries. It’s almost 10 years ago as an Aussie I traveled to the USA and road-tripped in a van through countryside like you are driving which is what lead me to starting fulltime vanlife 4 years ago. I found the longer I’m on the road the more I like my solitude and just being with my dog. My dog is also protective of me and our van and I love how she keeps that space around our home for us. I too suffer from migraines so the fact you filmed with one wow you are truly a strong woman 💪🏼 I love that you challenge yourself and hopefully RTR is a great experience for you and Frank. We really are being spoilt with your daily vids ❤
@tidelinetoalpine will you be sharing your RTR talk on your channel? I’m in Australia and would never leave my dog so no way I can get there or to anything like it but would love to hear it.
I'm loving all the extra videos. Glad ur feeling better. I get migraines too but not as bad as yours. I'm a little worried about u going to RTR. You're like me. You need ur solitude but it's only for a short time. Praying everything goes well❤
Amanda it is your right, and healthy, to set boundaries. Whether others like it or not they should be respectful. Maybe that is why RTR is calling you to somehow educate the new nomad? As someone who also suffers with chronic illness (Autonomic dysfunction, mast cell, EDS, Afib) I totally understand what you are going through. I am happy you were so authentic with your challenges of daily life. I also can appreciate your love of wide open spaces and solitude. I love your channel! So proud of the young lady you are! You are a fantastic storyteller! You have brought so much joy to my life through your beautiful scenic adventures. My best furry friend Ted wishes Frank good health and many more adventures too! Enjoy the journey!
Sparkles ✨💖 So glad ur feeling better 🤗😊 Frank being super adorable 🐾💖✨rolling on the ground was definitely a cute highlight. I love seeing you both healthy and happy..I will be here for all your videos such a crazy fun time thanks for all ur hard work getting these posts done for so many days in a row
Ed's Fast Break gas station is one regular stops when passing through Lakeview. Saw you drive past Burger Queen, while a real old fashion milk shake might not be on your mind with snow on the ground, Burger Queen has them.
Maybe the lack of knowledge around van life protocols comes from non van lifers on YT. So, hopefully most everyone at RTR will have a clue that folks online just don't. Sending love, light and good vibes to you and Frank.
Thank you for sharing that perspective 🙏🏼 I think also my experience with vanlife in the early years more vanlifers were reclusive where as in time the people who got into were more into gathering and being super social.
✨✨So glad you are feeling better Amanda..so nice to see Frank..he looks so happy..love your knitted hat..I have a jacket that same colour..can't wait to see your adventures at RTR✨✨
Happy New Year, eh!! 🎉🍁 Safe travels. Glad you feel better.🥰🫂🖖 Be careful- another van life TH-camr just posted a warning about coming to Quartzite and keeping an eye on your valuables. Glad you have Frank with you.🙏🖖
✨ You keep on knocking but you can't come in... I Wonder who your special guest will be when you go back through Nevada 😉. Loving the vlog Amanda. Keep up the good work.
FRRRRANNNK !!😋Doin the wiggle worm...Lol silly Guy😂🤣Stoked yur feelin better👍Lots a Quiet open roads rocks . That command center was like an AM PM Boeing setup .. Lol. All the Goodies😁Happy travels yoo2.🙏🙏
So glad to see you get relief from that horrible migraine. I must say it’s quite nice seeing a snippet of your life everyday . I know the snow isn’t much fun to drive in, but it is beautiful andTruck looks so cozy. Wishing you and Frank safe travels ❤️
It is true and very unsettling when strangers knock on my door mainly because they’re curious but they don’t understand. Wise words of wisdom I totally agree with!!
It’s good to see you feeling better. I get “overstimulation” migraines. My nervous system gets jacked easily, especially pushing past my limits on my device and go to sleep schedule, caffeine, sunlight or cloud glare through the windshield… so drive days can be too much when they are too much! Talking too much brings on the migraine pain… and I just love to talk, so it sux! 😂 Migraine in a van is just tough because you can’t always block out noise. You take care!
Glad you're recovered! Also, it warmed my heart to hear you say you like how the snow insulates the van. Small thing but so refreshing when you see so much catastrophizing about winter. Glad you have the sense to stay safe.
Yay for feeling good! That’s a bummer you had so much extra work to do with the music licensing, but I love your road music! I love that teal knit hat and your command station. ✨✨✨ I’m so glad you’re here and sharing your journey! You ARE brave, and I also think you are going to have fun (just a guess) and that you can trust yourself to listen to your needs and take quiet time when you need it. Frankie rolling around on his back is the CUTEST!
When you were talking about your right hand being free to get what you want from the command center I recalled a video where Flossy joked about sometimes wishing she was an Octopus so she could multi task with less effort. It is so good to see you feeling better and enjoying your travels again. I love TJ's butternut squash ravioli, might have to try adding chimichurri as a sauce sometime!
I agree! When I’m parked even with friends or family, I don’t want people coming up to basically my “private space” when they can text or call if I’m needed. I am also sensitive to dog barking and totally believe everyone will respect your space and give Frank the respect he deserves
Italian ravioli, Polish pierogi, Russian pelmeni or Asian dumpling - best comfort food ever😋 Also, my doggy does not like strangers around as well, her first loud negative reaction goes away as we are settled and she just starts keeping her eyes on designated borders, and keeps strangers aware they are not wanted 😉 Thank you for the exiting journey! Lots of❤to Frank!
✨️✨️✨️✨️I love the daily videos! I'm returning to my job as an educational assistant today, after a 2-week winter break, and watching your video this morning is just what I needed🙏😊❤️
I agree with you 100% on the knocking (and everything else!). I hope no one interferes with your privacy while you’re here. Everything you said/say describes me and why I’m here. I told myself if you can drive from Canada and do a speech, then I can stay and at least attend one day Otherwise, I probably would’ve left by now. I’m trying! Hope to see you out and about!
So glad you’re feeling better! Sure makes it easier to travel. That snow looks glorious. We’re hoping to get out and do some skiing this next weekend. Safe travels 💕
Preach it, sister. Privacy is necessary. Rude is violating that. Do NOT knock on vans with the door closed!!!!! It is common knowledge and common sense.
You're bad ass Amanda. Keep on Truckin'. I drive down on the other side of those mountains. Where there's never snow. I love the 395. It is the greatest hot spring trail. Im also like this going to such a big event. There certainly are ignorant campers. I hope we are blessed to meet. I like my privacy also. I do know some good spots in the chaos of the desert of Quartzite. 🎉
I am giving you sparkle! Love your daily updates as you travel to RTR. Of course yesterday’s video was tragic. I feel so bad for your day of migraine and vomiting!!! I hope you have no more days like that!!! ❤🥰
I’m so glad you are feeling better. Happy New Year! 🎉 You have a realistic view of your expectations and limitations. You also have the maturity to take care of yourself in situations that test your boundaries. The good thing is that once you’ve met your commitment, you can leave! I hope you end up having a wonderful time and connecting with some of the people who follow you.
Thank you for posting Amanda. I was worried about you too, but did not post. That was definitely a severe headache. I have had a few TMIs too, and can get severe headaches, but I don't get nauseous. I understand your need for privacy. I have never been to Nevada. Very different. I am behind on your videos, but I will catch up. Keep doing them. I always like listening to you. You are very well spoken. Keep enjoying yourself. Looks like you are past the winter snow. So far winter has been a bit odd too, for us in ON. Stay safe. See you tomorrow - on your video. Take care! Eileen 🍁🇨🇦🎶🎵💞
Here’s some razzle dazzle. 🥳🥳🤩I am personally very excited to have extra Tideline to Alpine in my life. It’s so nice to see you looking like you feel better today.
Wow you look so much better! I was so concerned about you yesterday. You got your drive and smiles back!!!!❤
Like day and night ✨
@@tidelinetoalpine I’m very happy to see that!!! I really respect you!
Amen on the not knocking and thank you for the short talk about standard practices. And, so great to give a little perspective about this is my bedroom. I think those things are super helpful. Thank you

Have heard that Van Lifers find their group/people at these get togethers. Hope this happens for you! Enjoy your time at RTR! ❤❤❤❤❤
Here's the "sparkle" Thanks for letting us hangout on your southbound trip 🌞.
👍 Rock on 🙂
Thank you so much for hanging out with me! 😊
Yes, RTR is a mass gathering, but MOST are bonified van Dwellers and many long time dwellers. You CAN remove yourself to the desert unless you've contracted to stay in town.

And boundaries girl! Good for you! Hugs. So glad u r better today.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I’m feeling a lot better about it.
@tidelinetoalpine your very welcome my friend. U GOT THIS! Just remember it's ok to not be comfortable in this kind of setting, and it IS draining. So take personal time when u need it 👍
Barometer changes cause my headaches ( migranes)

Hi Amanda,good to see your migraine is gone and that you are up and about. Looking so much better and sounding like yourself….be safe on your drive…..lots of us are worried about your health and the travel conditions for you….hugs to you and frank….
✨✨ So glad you are feeling much better. Being sick sucks. May the rest of your journey to Quartzite go smoothly. ☮️
You look a hell of a lot better and I'm glad that you are feeling better. Yes I really like these short videos that you're doing everyday
✨You and Frank are AMAZING ✨ The beautiful desert is right there if RTR doesn't treat you two thoughtfully...many of us feel as you do. Enjoying the dailiy videos 🤩 Thank you ~

Haters gonna hate. They are jealous! Ignore!
You are ok to set boundaries Amanda- that's what you did and it's fine. 👍
I love that you are doing a vlog each day of the 10 day trip to Q-town!
So glad you're feeling better. Thank you for the daily vlog. Take care. Be safe. Sending hugs to you and Frank.
Love your daily vlogs Amanda!! Thank you!!
You’ll do great at the event, and I hope it’s fun!! Love to you and Frankie!!🐾🐾💚💚

So glad you rebounded so well. I really appreciate your efforts to up load quality videos. Posting daily is a lot of work especially when you’re on a tight schedule.
I have to say this because people may approach you…get a grocery store closed sign and use it…..seriously,a big one…..🛑✋🇺🇸
I was thinking some sort of message... Something like we're not available, but you can say hi after one of my panels.
❇️ ❇️ ❇️ - on, Lady! I can proudly say that I’m very excited to see your trip and I’m certain I’m not the only one.
Happy trails to you & Frankie-boy. ❤
Thank you, I love the green sparkles!
Gosh Amanda, you are so awesome and I struggle finding words of encouragement. All I can say is Wow! Going through the physical problrmd ehile driving, dealing with Mr Frank, over zealous people with no manors, and the stress of RTR. Filming, editing & uploading every single day is amazing. I believe you are Superwoman Amanda with her sidekick Friendly Franklin. 🤨 Hope this comment is not as tacky as it sounds to me 😁 Sendin Grandmama love ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾
Thank you Iris, I appreciate your kind and thoughtful words! 💕
When you head back north....thru Nevada....if you plans are not set in stone, I can give you a dropped pin for a gloriously crystal clear, secret, 4 ft deep hot spring that no one knows about. One of the most special places I found in my 8 years of full timing.
Oooh yes please 🙏🏼 I promise not to blow up the location, can you email it to me? tidelinetoalpine@gmail.com thank you so much ✨🫶🏻

Hi Frank sweet boy 😊
I'm loving all the extra videos. Glad ur feeling better. I get migraines too but not as bad as yours. I'm a little worried about u going to RTR. You're like me. You need ur solitude but it's only for a short time. Praying everything goes well❤

Im glad to see you're feeling better. 😊
Amanda it is your right, and healthy, to set boundaries. Whether others like it or not they should be respectful. Maybe that is why RTR is calling you to somehow educate the new nomad?

I’m amazed at your recovery and how your spirits have bounced so high so quickly. Very wonderful ❤. ✨✨
I agree! When I’m parked even with friends or family, I don’t want people coming up to basically my “private space” when they can text or call if I’m needed. I am also sensitive to dog barking and totally believe everyone will respect your space and give Frank the respect he deserves
Here’s hoping 🤞🏼
✨ We love the daily vlogs!☮️
You look so much younger with bangs. Adorable! ❤
Italian ravioli, Polish pierogi, Russian pelmeni or Asian dumpling - best comfort food ever😋 Also, my doggy does not like strangers around as well, her first loud negative reaction goes away as we are settled and she just starts keeping her eyes on designated borders, and keeps strangers aware they are not wanted 😉 Thank you for the exiting journey! Lots of❤to Frank!
You sparkle when you speak of your special guest ❤
Love frank always ! He's so cute. I'm so so so the same way about the door knocking. Respect ! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love watching this series of 10 videos a day. Everyday I can’t wait for the next video. Thank you for this sharing.
So beautiful trip❤❤❤, thanks for sharing I truly enjoyed it!!, the scenery it's amazing, so your vibe!
✨️✨️✨️✨️I love the daily videos! I'm returning to my job as an educational assistant today, after a 2-week winter break, and watching your video this morning is just what I needed🙏😊❤️
So great to see that uoure feeling better. You have sych a fantastic attitude ❤ I LOVE your hat (my favourite colour)
i like all the videos. sorry about the migrain though. safe travels and you will do great at the r.t.r. im sure.
I agree with you 100% on the knocking (and everything else!). I hope no one interferes with your privacy while you’re here. Everything you said/say describes me and why I’m here. I told myself if you can drive from Canada and do a speech, then I can stay and at least attend one day Otherwise, I probably would’ve left by now. I’m trying! Hope to see you out and about!
Looks like fun glad you feel better
Yup, gels - theater lighting has used those for decades, too.
✨💖✨Here’s a little Sparkle! Keep going, love the 1 video a day for 10 days. 🙂
Happy you're feeling better.
So glad you’re feeling better! Sure makes it easier to travel. That snow looks glorious. We’re hoping to get out and do some skiing this next weekend. Safe travels 💕
🤩🤩🤩👏🏽👏🏽 same concept of don’t walk thru someone’s campsite. I had to tell kids not to walk by my tent. I was laying down.
Exactly!!! Thank you for teaching your kids that 🙏🏼
Preach it, sister. Privacy is necessary. Rude is violating that. Do NOT knock on vans with the door closed!!!!! It is common knowledge and common sense.
🙌🏼
You're bad ass Amanda. Keep on Truckin'. I drive down on the other side of those mountains. Where there's never snow. I love the 395. It is the greatest hot spring trail. Im also like this going to such a big event. There certainly are ignorant campers. I hope we are blessed to meet. I like my privacy also. I do know some good spots in the chaos of the desert of Quartzite. 🎉
Sparkle sparkle sparkle! Love the dailies
Love watching you and Frank. Thank you.🐢🐩🐕🐶🌌✨🌺🌲☮️☀️🐳🌈🌟🌊
I am giving you sparkle! Love your daily updates as you travel to RTR. Of course yesterday’s video was tragic. I feel so bad for your day of migraine and vomiting!!! I hope you have no more days like that!!! ❤🥰
I’m so glad you are feeling better. Happy New Year! 🎉 You have a realistic view of your expectations and limitations. You also have the maturity to take care of yourself in situations that test your boundaries. The good thing is that once you’ve met your commitment, you can leave! I hope you end up having a wonderful time and connecting with some of the people who follow you.
Thank you for posting Amanda. I was worried about you too, but did not post.
That was definitely a severe headache. I have had a few TMIs too, and can get severe headaches, but I don't get nauseous. I understand your need for privacy.
I have never been to Nevada. Very different.
I am behind on your videos, but I will catch up. Keep doing them. I always like listening to you. You are very well spoken.
Keep enjoying yourself. Looks like you are past the winter snow. So far winter has been a bit odd too, for us in ON.
Stay safe. See you tomorrow - on your video. Take care!

Here’s some razzle dazzle. 🥳🥳🤩I am personally very excited to have extra Tideline to Alpine in my life. It’s so nice to see you looking like you feel better today.
So glad your feeling better. Frank is so cute with his wiggles. Excited to see the gathering and your soak in the morning.
