- My goal is to see as many states in the United States and to do that I travel by van which is my home on wheels. I live in a van full-time. My ultimate goal is to visit as many countries as possible outside of the US and to do that I fly. I go from vanlifer to a nomad. On this channel, you get a mix of everything. You get full-time vanlife, and you get a nomad who travels by air, land and sea. My life is unpredictable and adventurous.

"First bite goes to you, now my turn" 😊
I was stuck in Toronto for 16 hours. I went to the airport lounge and asked if I could pay to come in. They charged me $60 for the day. Well worth it. The lounge had recliners and lots of food. I was able to get a few hours sleep. Check out the airport lounges if you get stuck in an airport again.
Nomi! I actually saw you on the streets of Chicago but I didn’t wanna bother you, you were walking swiftly 😅
How cool is that! I would’ve spoke to Nomi if I ever run into her! Aaww
@@brendalee1093 haha I was so tempted but didn’t want to bother her 😁
@@anitoeeyou have class...everyone has there right on privicy...❤
I admire your bravery. I am an introvert who avoids crowds, but I could never fly or vacation in a city alone. It helps to experience it through you.
Seeing all those benches reminds me that Homelessness is so sad!! I wish everyone could have a home!!🙂🙂
Indeed!
Not everyone is smart, educated, and industrious. In America, everyone has opportunities to excel but unfortunately there are lazy individuals. The Military is one of the best employers, if you do your job, stay fit and disciplined enough to follow orders, then your future is secure so long as you serve 20 yrs or more.
@francruz5824 how could you leave out the fact that one's Life can be taken in a W A R...
You are the boss so you could’ve stayed one more day if that’s what you want.
@@francruz5824Homelessness has nothing to do with laziness. It's when the rent went up higher then your paycheck what causes it.
Girl .. why didn’t you just pay for another day? It’s a business expense anyway .. sleeping on the floor of the airport when you have a safer/healthier option? Why? So you got to experience houselessness at the airport since I am sure the benches there were hostile? Traveling with no sleep is so dangerous .. for you and others on the road. My dad would call those decisions pennywise pound foolish. Please spend the money to be safe and responsible. Missing sleep like that when you have other options is no good for your body or mind. Ok nagging done. Happy new year😊❤
10:59 that is so odd that you didn't get a checkout reminder the day before 🤔 I've stayed at some beautiful hotels and some ok/ nice hotels and I swear that always either attach a reminder slip on the door, or slide it under the door (if no one answered the door to receive it).
Criminalizing the homeless is sad and ungodly. Everybody deserves a home and good employment. Thanks for sharing your experience. There are better ways. Anyway love your channel!
I knew the airport hall looked familiar at 15:38 and I googled it. It is where Home Alone 1 was filmed. Nice that they keep it decorated exactly the same all these years.
God bless your heart that you were in Chicago. That would be one of the last places I would want to be. So glad you are safe.
Instead of spending money on bars to prevent people from sleeping on benches it would be amazing if they actually tried to help people.
Chicago is spending millions to help. Just look it up.
Ok so bars on benches to prevent the homeless from sleeping on them. People are still going to be homeless and still are going to need a place to sleep so maybe there should be more done in this country to prevent people from being homeless to begin with. Then they wouldn’t have to worry about the benches.
They started this in NYC and call it "hostile architecture" so there is no place to sit. How ridiculous is that? So what if someone sleeps on a bench. If they don't want to see it provide housing.
I love it when you treat yourself to a good hotel stay.
To be safe i would have stayed at a cheaper or paid extra night and avoid late fee and stuff. Its very unsafe for a woman especially major cities at night. Im born and raised in NYC. Very unsafe. Glad your ok. I was worried about you not posting for a few days. Enjoy your time 💜 much love 💜
The headache is caffeine withdrawals. When I was pregnant and couldn't have caffeine that's what happened to me. During my second pregnancy the doctor said moderation was fine. ❤❤
It’s always a pleasure seeing your uploads ~ Continued Blessings ~ 🙏
Thank you! God bless you ❤
I love your vlogs! You are so good at it. I love how you're trying all the new foods and taking us along with you and giving us the first bite lol 😅. I really enjoy you ❤
Hey Nomi, unfortunately those benches are everywhere in larger cities. Austin Tx has "hostile architecture" also. They don't want the homeless sleeping on the benches.😢
Thanks for another great adventure and sorry about the misunderstandings.
Take care, we're almost to 200k.👍🏾
agree about the benches. hostile indeed!
In Texas, they don't even want the birds protected. The Spikes everywhere to prevent them from landing really really piss me off.
That’s not what they are for
@@silvialivick3034 That's exactly what they are for is to keep the homeless from sleeping on the benches. You don't have to take my word for it, simply Google hostile architecture, it's no secret.
Arent you a veteran? Why didn't you chill at the USO in the airport?
She asked if you were extending your stay. You paid a late fee. Why not just stay and pay for the extra night? I'm glad you had a great trip, otherwise.
Many times if our flight leaves late that evening of check out we just leave our baggage with the front desk and just come back first before heading to the airport
I agree if it was me and I had to pay a late fee, I just would of extended my stay for an extra day....
Be careful what you eat. Your going to end up in the hospital. I know from experience.
Agree even though it would of been a higher cost (fee for the hotel) It still cost 💲 you money why not be comfortable and enjoy that last day👍
❤❤❤
Most hotels have a locked room where they will store your luggage until you have to go to the airport, so that if you have time to do things before you have to be at the airport, you can safely leave your luggage there and pick it up later. Just a thought if you find yourself in that situation again.
Yeah but she stayed the night in the airport.
Never seen Chicago from this view. Loved it. Totally different view. I want to go to Chicago again.❤❤❤❤
so, i can't believe u never showed us ur new "do" (hairdo). tyvm for the videos u put out for us all.
You really did have a great time there!💙💙 This is so wonderful to see!!
Thank you fam
I absolutely love watching your life!
Nomie your christmas intro was so beautiful, thank you for sharing your Chicago adventure, Peace & Prosperity ❤
Yes! It was so beautiful! I enjoyed it also! So peaceful and calm!
She didn't go no where she basically stayed Michigan avenue and yes I agree with everyone just stay another night it was wild you stayed in the airport so long when you could be much more comfortable didn't make much sense
I was surprised that the city didnt seem more busy - not much hustle and bustle. Glad you had a great time and had such delicious food. I could taste the goodness of those croissants. 😊 thanks for sharing time with us.
You should have extended the stay one more day or got a hotel at the airport.
That’s what I was thinking didn’t want to be negative u paid $81 late check out pay a little bit more for the entire day. I’m just saying… u be safe darling and God bless
Sub from 3K....your channel growth is just off the charts! Well deserved for such a cool person like yourself. I enjoy watching your videos. You are doing exactly what I want to do: stay in nice hotels, relax and eat yummy food. You were having so much fun in Chicago. I am not surprised your forgot. It's ok!!!!
Thank you for your continued support ❤️
💯❤️
EXACTLY 💥🙌🏾
Glad you enjoyed your trip. I am surprised the hotel didn't remind you of the check-out time.
my husband and i stayed at the pendry right across from your hotel for about a week this past Christmas. its a good spot. close enough to the Christmas market and the bean. short walk to mag mile. you missed out because Lou's is actually the best deep dish pizza. unusually warm Christmas. i think it was like 55.
I was happy to see you back home and safe. Stay safe Nomi ❣️
Nomi, the next time you visit try going through the Pedway. It's a network of tunnels that connect retail stores, hotels, and train station.
You are such a great foodie!!! Thanks for always feeding us!! Lol I love travelling along with you. Safe travels.
Good Afternoon! This was a great video. Your travels are amazing. Happy New Year!
I Love Chicago! I visit twice a year and I never leave without getting Stans!!🎉
Thank you for showcasing my beautiful home town ❤❤❤
It's my pleasure. I loved it!
What a bummer! Glad things are going well now. Chicago is a great city. Thanks for taking us along.
Especially with time zone changes it can be easy to f up checkouts. Dont be too hard on yourself. Ish happens. Youre alive well and growing your adventures, experiences, and yt channel. Thats a win! 💜 Youll always win bc youre out there LIVING !
Was worried about you haven't seen you on TH-cam in 4 days I'm so happy you're ok❤
Awe fam. I’m good 😊
I’m glad you made it back safe Nomi! Happy blessed New Year! Blessings! 🎉🥰🫶🏾🎉🥰🫶🏾
I have been a subscriber since the beginning of your van life journey and you have always stated that you are on a budget. So I completely understand why you chose the airport versus another hotel. Look at it this way. The time you spent in Chicago it seems like you had a pretty good time. And that Nutella cafe looks like a little slice of heaven. Hope you have a safe and wonderful New Years! ✨😌🙏🏽💜
I'm happy you enjoyed my hometown. Hope you get to enjoy the restaurants you missed on your next visit. Have a Happy New Year.
Glad you got to visit Chicago. Glad you made it home safely. Be blessed 🙏🏾
You make everything you eat taste good.😋 Have a happy new year! Be safe out there.🙏🏿✨️
Happy New Year from Australia... I love watching your videos, they keep me company at night when sitting in bed.
Hey Nomi. Sorry about you having to rush to leave your hotel. I get not wanting to g to pay the higher fee at your hotel, but I would’ve just gone to a safe, inexpensive Motel and stayed for the night. But glad you were safe. Happy New Year to you!
Yas...Motel 6, Days Inn, etc would've beat that floor at the airport.
As someone from the UK, you are one od the only people I've heard pronounce Worcestershire sauce almost correctly! Well done!
Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures in Chicago. Glad you were able to try different restaurants. Everything worked out in the end. Thanks
Anytime you travel & book a hotel you do get an email confirming the check-in and check-out time. So Nomi should have rechecked her hotel itinerary & flight time, that travel 101. No way I would stayed overnight in an airport. Very surprised since Nomi is a fellow Army veteran, very diligent about schedules & itineraries, just a military thing. We hate to be blindsided. 😅😂
I'm glad you had a blast in Chicago ❤
Good to see you’re still going strong!All the best from the Netherlands 👍🏼👀✨🌲
Thanks for bringing us in your travels honey. May your new year be filled with blessings and good health 🙏🥰🙏
Im glad you came to my town Chicago. Nice to see you enjoying yourself.
If you have ANY level of peanut allergy, you should not eat at any bakery that is not peanut free. Accidental exposure could at any time become anaphylactic shock.
Why am I legit sad that you’re leaving?! Like why? 😂 I never ran into you, did enjoy your videos from here though. Maybe had hopes that I’d run into you… Safe travels, my friend. Come back when it’s warm!
You rock, Nomi! You should do a video doing what you do celebrating 200k, almost there! 😍🥰
Thanks for the Chicago adventure- the sights, food and your narrative were a gift- thanks for sharing. Feel badly that you were caught up in last minute check out- it's understandable that you forgot- with everything else going on (travel, planning, new environment, holidays, filming)- It came to me that a nice customer service that hotels can offer is a courtesy reminder of check out time (phone message, note in room, etc) because I am sure this happens to other tourists during an extended stay. In any case, you made the best of it and made it home safely.
Wishing you all the best in the New Year. Safe travels.
Sleeping at the airport(s) overnight has happened to me on a few occasions and it's mostly uncomfortable, but an adventure nevertheless. Bummer that you missed an extra day exploring in Chi-town. Your marinated beef dinner looks yummy. Happy travels and sending you merry wished for a wonderful 2024!
Loved watching you enjoy Chicago Nomi!! Time really gets away from ya when having fun. Happy u had the airport as a safe free place to wait.
I can't wait to see where u take us in 2024.
Interesting about the benches. It's amazing to learn about things you didn't know, that you didn't know.
I’m so glade you like Chicago. It’s a wonderful place.
I am loving the recipes u make, they r healthy and easy! Working through your videos!! Sending love and be safe always!
You are so right. I hate rushing because you do tend to leave something. You are a beautiful soul. Please be sure to take care of that beautiful temple. What we eat so impacts our health. Take it from me you want your body to last, If you take care now it will. You won’t end up with all the aches and pains that happen as the years pass. Most eating habits leave the body inflammation prone. It’s the root of all disease. Just wanted to share. Blessings in the new year. ❤❤❤
❤ glad you're back safe and sound glad you had a good time get you lots of rest be safe God bless
I have been around Chicago, but not downtown, that is beautiful.
Glad you had a good trip- get some rest!
Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures this year. Happy New Year Nomi!
Good morning, thank you for being so transparent about your travels. I have added things to my "must try" list, based on some of the things you've shared with us over time. Have a beautiful New Year and cheers to what's next in, 2024🎉
Your welcome. Thank you for your support and positivity 😊
I really enjoy your adventure and your channel …….. if the opportunity ever presents itself I will be doing van life
@@Nomadicintrovert We plan meticulously then God laughs! Enjoy Nomi! We have all been there. 🩷
I ready to hit Nashville, Las Vegas and UP Michigan. Nomi is such an inspiration to me.
That jacket is dope, where did you get it?
Hey N.I. Glad you are back home. Hope you enjoyed your time in Chicago. Take care 🙂 ❤
Thank you, loved the adventures!😊
Girl your always welcome in Chicago. 😊
Thank you for taking me to downtown Chicago!
Barbara
Loved the Chicago vlog. I'm adding it to my list of places to visit. They have a Garrets popcorn in Vegas!!
@@bettymwangi4092 says it in Miracle Mall which I belive is in Planet Hollywood.
Those benches are homeless deterrents…. In NYC this process is relatively new(hostile architecture) is what they call it. Maybe if they worked on eliminating homelessness they wouldn’t have to build useless benches like those….
Well you left me wanting more. Glad you enjoyed the time you had there/here.
I love Chi-town. Next time you are there downtown, try Giordano Pizza (Chicago deep dish) and Garrett popcorn. You can't go wrong with this.
I relocated from Washington DC to Dallas, TX in search of a more peaceful way of life 1 year ago.
Your videos remind me that I made the right decision! Thank you, keep doing what you’re doing, and may God continue to bless you!
So sorry about you last minute mishap Nomad have a safe and happy holidays.
Loved & your time in the windy city but the fact that you are Finally cooking withe a silicone spatula just warms my ♥...
Glad your home safe and had a lovely time ❤
I love how u enjoy food. Thank u for your service to our beautiful country. You are a very good person in your heart and soul. God Bless U.
It's all good. So much to be grateful for :) Letting go and letting God is key.I am on a no combining diet and it's been amazing !
What is a no combining diet? It sounds interesting and after the holidays I swore to lose some weight!
I am so sorry that this happened to you, but I would have stayed because they got my $81. The nerves of people. The worst part is they should have given you a wake up call or something to remind you. This be the stuff that makes me upset. But I am still glad you had a good time in my hometown. You can always get Garrett mailed to you if you will be stationed for a few days. . Happy New Year to you.🎉🎉
You would have had to pay for another night. That $81 was only the late check out fee. Hotels don’t call to remind you of your checkout unless you request that. And they probably charge something for that now days.
Thanks for sharing your trip to Chicago glad you made back safely peace🕊
Jeeeeeeze, the volume on the music almost threw me out of my chair 😱
Hope your New Years Eve is better that this check-out debacle. You should have paperwork on you accommodations. If they didn’t let you know they should be ashamed. Have a good trip on you next flight and, 👋🎉🎊🎆🙏👋HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2024, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jennifer 👋❤️👋
If you havent yet, definitly try to comd to oregon. Youd love what the state has to Offer. We have mountains, beaches, desert, city. Its amazing
The best part of a trip is coming home❤! Happy New Year!😊
Happy New Year!🎉🎉🍾🥂 Chicago is my favorite large city. I have been twice; once in winter and once at the end of summer. I am looking forward to when l can visit again. So glad you had a great time there.
Chicago Loves u back ❤ Happy New Year many blessings and come back soon as in the summer our lakefront is spectacular!
We love those beans too! All the flavors are good. Thanks for sharing your trip to Chicago! So fun!!
Goodness Chicago looked different from when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing your journey
That breakfast sandwich looked amazing be safe and thank you for taking us along on your adventures
I absolutely love your personality. That croissanwich looked amazing and you picked a great spot to enjoy it!
81 dollars is a hefty late fee. How come you didn’t just pay to stay an extra night?
That $81 "late fee" is obscene. That hotel has some nerve charging such a huge fee! 😠
Is it though? It’s during the holiday season when businesses make a bulk of their money. 🤷♀️ It’s on the person staying to plan their travel to include enough time to pack and leave.
Being the holidays it could have affected them cleaning the room in time for the next booking. Usually hotels are understanding of mistakes.
I literally just watched a documentary video last night on the anti homeless benches that's being done. Great video!
Love my city and love that you hung out here. Hope you had a beautiful experience!!!! There are tons more places I could suggest for ya!!!
Happy New Year! Loved the video & looking forward to many, many more for 2024! 😀
