I was an over the road truck driver. I had a lot of people ask me if I ever got lonely on the road. So I can understand you're answer. I never got lonely and I was perfectly fine. I didn't have a dog with me, but everywhere I went I made friends. I love your defender. I'm going to get one some day. Thank you for all the content you, Blue and Poe make. Keep it coming Ria.
Shout out to all the people who really enjoy their own company
The friendship breakup .. broke me, I teared up because I’ve been there and have no real friends for that and other reasons like work but I know I need to move forward.. it’s tough
María, as a car camper explorer/adventurer, I can tell you we were cut from the same cloth…your personality is like “the fish” means to our wonderful Navajo Tribes: Adaptability, determination and flow of life. You, Blue & your safety are on my prayers…LIVE THE LIFE YOU 🙏🏻☀️LOVE!!!
Hi Maria! Just “found” your channel last week. I’m a 75 year old guy who loves taking these voyages with you. Your interaction with Blue makes my eyes water. He reminds me so much of my first rescue. I’ve had 7 rescues in my life and my first guy I called Jeep. Not after the vehicle but the “mystical magical Jeep” from the Popeye cartoon cause he just appeared. A cousin worked at my family business and came rushing in and said John there’s a dog hiding under a skid out back. It was a 40 degree damp misty November day. I went and got him some kibble and thought, well maybe he’s just off a leash, no collar and I thought if he’s here tomorrow he’s coming home with me. We had a great run of 14 years. He was the typical light brown shep/collie mix but just 40 pounds. I’ve droned on to long. Your videos are effin great. Beautiful editing. Keep rockin it kid. Give Blue a hug for me. Thanks!❤
If you ever make it to England with Poe, I wonder if it would be possible to find anyone from his original battalion and show them what you've done with him. That would be amazing.❤
If you did collaborate with someone it should be eva zu beck. She drives the same thing you do and does the same thing you do and has a cute doggo too that blue could play with!
yea, that would be an awesome colabe!
@@lauraslanesvanlifetravels don't know what the hell they would do but it would be interesting. Lol
That would be cool.
Yes I second that motion 🍺
Agree you and Eva would be so interesting!
I enjoy listening to you and watching how much you show Blue your love for him.
As a vlogger who loves editing as well, I totally identify with your sentiments. Also, as someone who was raised by a single mother who could've used a safe space to call home and help get her on her feet, I love your bucket list goal of opening homes for single mothers.
Yes, me too! Just heard that part. Melts my heart b/c I was a single mom of 2 boys(now adults) for a very long time.
Glad to hear that your guy has to love Jesus. That's the most important. God bless!
Laughed out loud several times and also got teary eyed. Love you and miss you so much! 🤗❤️
Love you momma ❤️
@@roamingreckless l love ❤❤❤❤
If you ever come to oregon you should stop by the asher house it is a animal sanctuary mostly dogs, 120 so far.
Great to hear that you love Jesus! You should proclaim that more. I am a Pastor and the founder of the Christian Jeep Association and we have 43 chapters. I’ve been roaming recklessly around North America in my two door Jeep for the last couple years building our ministry. Well not so recklessly. Praying for your trips.
She should? Just like a Christian to mandate someone else to do something, perhaps just let everyone be and live their life as they so chose, that seems to be something US Christians dont seem to understand...leave people be.
@@martineo9638 I think she should. I agree with what @leightonoc said actually
Proclaiming your love of Jesus is awesome, as a Christian, Jesus is our Savior so of course we put Him above all
@@martineo9638 Pull back. This is a nice channel where people are not about attacking others. That person was trying to share a gift - from their perspective. You see religion as a tool to manipulate people. They see their relationship with their god as a light to share with the world.
You have that silly Ukraine flag in your bio. Maybe you should think less about playing your part in your silly revolution sponsored by Pfizer and consider the idea that other people might just be living their own lives in happiness without your scaffolding of misery. You have not been blessed by this structure. Its been imposed upon you and your faith will be discarded when they choose to point your attention elsewhere.
@@martineo9638 Jesus loves you even if you don't know him.
As a deep introvert your comments resonate with me. I have a few close friends and actually enjoy being alone. I'm working on a camper build to become a full time nomad. My other goal is a thru hike of the AT. I'll soon be 69. Never stop dreaming or setting goals.
Wow! I was so surprised when I got to where you mentioned your age, I wasn’t expecting that. I’m 64, and you inspire me!
@@kjsgarden Well, thank you. This will actually be my 3rd attempt at the AT, both previous attempts ending in injury.
You are a real gem. Thanks for bringing us cheer.
Girl I admire you for loving the outdoors. Camping was my life before my dad passed. Now I’m 51 am just work all the time. Anyway you stay safe on the road.
I use a privacy pop up tent and a sun shower bag. Boil water to temp and good to go everyday. I love my showers.🤟🏻
You're very real, and quite relatable with how you answered many of the questions. Thank you for letting us get to know you more. Can't wait for your Al-Can drive. You will love it!, I've done that drive afew times now, never gets old no matter the season.
Look ,
You are giving blue a great life.
Well done
Also well done for helping others.
Keep up the wonderful work.
Your videos are a pleasure to view.
Whatever you are doing when you are 67 will be a total pleasure to watch .😊
Bring an introvert myself, to the one that made a comment on an introvert boascasting to the world. Though it goes out to the world, its just your camera filmed and edited on ones own timeing. When and where. For myself I dont get alone, but being one of faith. My lord is with me. Being outdoors, I see God. So there is no alone. When you do meet up with people, you share the depth of the insight you've gained being alone.
Your videos are great and you have a refreshing perspective on life. Keep the great content coming!!
A nearly 24 minute video and I'm here for it! 😬
A Q&A, 💙 it! Your editing here is just amazing!
Nature and a dog,,, greatest healing forces in the universe! You are blessed!
So impressed with how well you know yourself. It's something I constantly strive for but definitely a work in progress. Take care out there!✌🏾😁
Thank you for sharing. You appear to be improving in all aspects of life, and I'm sure your family has much to do with it. Blue too being a core part of family. Keep up the good work.
I loveee how this is filmed at different times!
Love you, love your channel Maria. I've been following you for a while now, even got my 75 year old aunt watching you.
I know it's not going to be till next year, but we can't wait till you come back up to Maine.
Keep being your wonderful, authentic self ❤
Brand new to your channel and just not sure if you are aware of this, but if you’re not, get a Loves, Flying J/Pilot, card. Every time you get fuel, it adds points to the card which you can use the points for showers and food. Loves is even now building camper parking at a lot of their locations, as well as adding pet shower rooms.
Yours is my absolute favorite channel. I pray for you, Blue, and your safety.
Hi beautiful, IMO you doing just natural videos with daily chaos or whatever make your videos so real and great!! Prayers for safety while your on the road! Love ALL Of you and your journey with Blue!! 😊
I am delighted to see that Blu is still with alive and still with you!! Love to you both, from a 73 year old dog lover.
I just love your positive attitude. I love your channel and look forward to each and every video. The highlight of my day for the mental getaway with ya. Many, many blessing always on this fantastic journey❤️🙏
I want to say thank you for always putting a smile on my face with you're content I'm currently fighting cancer so thank you
I’m not super into the enneagram stuff but it is fun to know what numbers people are! The Maverick is the more aggressive personality type (cue your Viking/Italian genes 😆). The 8 is your core type. 8 strengths are that you’re ambitious, proactive, blunt, and headstrong. The 7 is your wing, which is the ‘fun’ side. 7 strengths are that you love and appreciate life and want to live it fully. 8w7 is basically ‘work hard-play hard’. Sounds about right for RR!
Even when things aren't going her way she has such a unique way of taking it in stride and letting it roll off of her. She never seems to dwell on anything negative and always moves on to something more productive to her emotional state. I wish I could handle things in her way...
Awesome drone footage Maria
Love Maria and her content. Love Blue. I will just replay content while I work as background noise and catch myself watching it lol. I am not a traveler the level of Maria but I have learned a lot from her for my weekend trips off the grid. I will continue to watch if you continue to post. Much love Maria
Awesome vid...luv your honesty and open attitude!!
You are an awesome person and would like to thank you for your content and honesty! As a lone wolf as well I can fully understand your happiness in being solo and just handling life and it's adventures in stride and being positive. I have only been a pet parent my whole life! Not everyone is meant to have kids in this world. Keep up the great content.
I live vicariously through your travels and those of others. I'd love to have your life! I'm trying to learn to edit, and can't get past 30 minutes in Premier before I throw in the towel. Editing is the biggest hurdle holding me back! 24 mpg is pretty impressive! Keep doin' what you do! Safe travels!
Good evening Maria & double ear rubs Blue ! Thank you for sharing a deep side of yourself ! Thank God for Parents, Family, Best Friends, New Friends & our Adorable 4 Legged Kids ! May Nature overfill each of your Bucket List Wishes with Safe Travels, Cherishing Moments & Endless Smiles for You & Blue !
I relate to the best friend thing so much. It does get better in time
I was just thinking if you in blu this morning, and I was on TH-cam earlier and this blog came up in my fed.
Once upon a time I would watch all of your blogs. Not because I like your energy or because you are beautiful and lastly your smile. But because you are a true testament for people on how to make their dreams come true even if the dream has to be lived and experienced alone and how to live free and enjoy every minute of life.
And I personally think you need to continue with you 35 minute videos of where you are going and how much fun you are having with your fur baby.
Stay safe out there ✌️
Maria, thanks for really opening up to your subscribers; you answered allot of questions, and you were very honest.
Yes-I agree! I really enjoy her answers.
You are such a awesome person,I already thought so but after this video I really see how great you are
It’s funny when you were naming your favorite vehicles I had several of them on the list, only one I didn’t have was a GEN 1 bronco. Had a 79 Landcruiser and a 73 Scout, having a Pinzgauer 712M being built down in Texas as we speak. Love the Defender!
Former Grand Rapidian here, Now an Allendalian, Love your adventurous spirit and wanting to do your own thing, Im the same way. I always enjoy you vids and sense of humor. I think blue and you are lucky to be together and I think Poe is damn cool also. Happy trails.
Your a amazing person keep up the good im a 35 year old trucker love traveling and love going to new places! Keep up the videos love blue and keep up the good videos!
Love the old land cruisers and broncos. I have a 2019 jeep wrangler rubicon, 2 door, manual.
Our Maggie & Bella love watching you and Blue! They sit there like good girls and are simply enamored.
5:09 that does NOT sound bad! It sounds pretty normal, actually. I love your honesty. Thumbs up!
You're not weird. Solace is not for everyone but very beautiful. Once you've found yourself in Solace there's nothing like it. Old Scouts and Broncos, definitely. Peace be with you and safety in your travels. 🙏📖🎼
Such positive vibes.
And a hottie to boot
My mother was a single Mom too... it was hard Maria being the oldest... you're such a good person Maria ❤😢
Hi lovely I honestly love you and blu. I love when you said you would help single moms get back on their feet….. that’s been a dream of mine as I’ve been a single mom for 21 years, I was strong enough to carry myself and my children through the process and never needed help but I know there’s so many moms that could do with the help. God bless you and blu stay safe on your journeys and enjoy life xx
Just picked up “The Power of Positive Thinking” @ the public library. Looking forward to the READ!! Thank you.
Thank you! Be safe
Awesome! Loved the q&a. U r the best utuber I’ve seen. I love how honest, caring & loyal u are. I was wondering if bubby’s teeth r worn down from chewing on the rocks. Keep on roaming…another great video!
I was born in Grand Rapids Michigan also. Yay! I'm not gonna tell you what year, but it was way before you. Trust me... I ain't boasting about it.
I can see you still doing Roaming Reckless when you get to my age, hope you are still healthy enough to travel and enjoy life on the road as much as you do now.
Thanks for doing the Q + A. Nobody asked if you still like oatmeal, or did you finally get sick of it? Hi Blue, Bubby, Pupparoo! 🥰 🐾
Found your channel by accident ? (recommended) Stayed for the content ! This michigander loves to see you tout just how cool our state is ! Keep up the good work and safe travels!!
Hey Maria and Blue! I love watching your videos. Your travels are amazing ❤🌟🌟
Owning a Scout is on the bucket list. A friend of mine hade a scout 2...it was a fkn beast. I will never forget the feeling..it's dif...raw
Thank you for the good Q&A video. Stay safe & keep up the great work 👍🏻
That's awesome you're from MI as well. I grew up in East Lansing. I also saw you out here on the 5 in Carlsbad as you were traveling through. 😊
I don’t get lonely either. I would love to just be in the woods by myself.
Living vicariously through your videos. I went camping last month in a place we as a family camped every summer from 1972-1983. I copied photos of myself at this place in '72-78 and reshot the exact same location, same camera angle, same me (well, not really) and gave the photos to the campground owners last month. 50 years between each photo, they loved it! I miss camping, so when I cannot, I enjoy your travels. It would be cool if folks like myself could search by state as you travel, that might help your audience grow. Thanks for your coverage of your travels, maybe someday I'll hit the road again.
My fave q&a, I think because of how you switched environments
Your mom and dad are great and your dad is funny!
I don’t comment for I know your inundated with bazillions of comments. But I have to say with complete honesty I truly have the utmost respect for you and truly hope all of your plans come to fruition. May Peace Health and Happiness follow you and yours
Great video Maria
very interesting. I like your honest answers. Keep it up, your trips are great
So much info! Love the clips. I'll watch til you're 70! Oh wait, I'm 70 now. I'll watch you as long as you continue.....
Are you familiar with the Solar Shower? Common for small sailboats. Basically a heavy black plastic bag that you keep in the sun. The water inside gets warm to hot (well, not in the Arctic) and there's a shower hose attached, so by late afternoon you can get a decent warm/hot shower out of it. Gravity fed, self contained, no wiring or power.
Yeeeeeesssssss 😁 come to New Zealand ❤️ you would love it here 🦋
I totally understand the friendship breakup. I went thru the same thing. Horrible experience.
I liked when you talked about Oahu, especially the North Shore just because I lived most my life there. Miss the north shore since I moved to Texas but I really enjoy your videos, just think it’s so cool and interesting car camping. Keep up the good work n be safe always btw your very pretty Maria
So proud of you for sticking for your faith and listing Christ as number one on your list for what you look in a guy, it's the same for me too, I mean that's what I will look in a girl, too, absolutely enjoying your road trips, stay safe.. and happy travels all the way from India
Your editing and final production quality is so professional you could make a living at it from the comfort of your Idaho horse ranch. When you’re too old to be doing what you’re doing now! Keep on truckin’👍🏻
I love your reading list, thank you!!
I can’t believe we have the same bucket list #2 & for similar reasons❤️
Be adaptable proactive, look forward, develop yoursrlf, focus on the positive. Right no home sickness no loneliness with a great pooch, rig and earth mother nature. Old straight body solid axel rigs absolutely rule. No games. Keep thriving Maria!
I relate to a lot of what you’re saying here. Thank you for sharing.
This channel gonna explode. Best of the 1,000 female "van life" channels that are out there atm.
I’m very new to your channel but I’m really loving it! You are wonderful to watch. Thank you so much! Squeezes for Blue ❤
Discovered you yesterday. First, love the name of your Defender, Poe....my favorite author, Edgar Allen Poe! Also had a cat named Blue long time ago. I live in an RV which seems like 27/7, 365, camping now for 24 yrs. I'm getting good pointers from you as I love sleeping outdoors. I even go out now and then and sleep in my van! I'm a very young 74 and if not for the fact I have not done anything to resemble a camper with my van, I'd be on the road. Your videos take me to places I have not been, but I live in Wa. state, Pacific Northwest. I've traveled to 26 of the states in a mobile RV in collage. Your conversion to a 'second floor' was a great video! I looked up the sleeping bag but Amazon is out of them. Anyway, me and my dog, Mozart, love your channel and have subscribed already. I think I binge watched 7 or so already. Here I am again today just having completed your 7 day retreat in WA. Thank you so much for being a person that wants to better themselves. I can see you are on a spiritual path to want to go within. Sorry this was so long. It's a left handed blonde thing!
My wife and I went to New Zealand for 2 weeks in 1986. It was fabulous, beautiful, and the most wonderful people in the world. We preferred the south island, and Christchurch was wonderful. Be sure to keep New Zealand on your wish list. Long flight. For us it was San Francisco, to LA, to Honolulu to Auckland. 23 hours with lay-overs. And I can't sleep on a plane!
Damn dude you’re madd humble and noble. Keep it up 👍
Terrific ! Stay "Golden". ❤ 4:13
Yes come to New Zealand.
I knew I liked you! You love Jesus, horseback riding, and traveling. Life doesn't get much better than those 3 things! 😁
I wondered about how often or where do you shower, bathe , keep clean! Not having a daily shower or bath for me would be torture! Extremely like my cleanliness, always been this way. Including having clean clothes, clean/ detailed vehicle.
Totally agree with Grand Rapids,michigan. Of course though I’m prejudiced as that’s where I live.
Great video, even greater answers.I live in Montana.But I love Idaho.
loved the braided pony tails.
Check out the Kakadu Shower system. I also like the Geyser shower for camping. 👍
I wish i could share a picture on here of my sister's Bronco my brother in law bought while they were stationed in Alaska. It was BEAUTIFUL. I believe it was either a late 70s or early 80s.
It was blue with a white stripe. Very classic and Alaskan of them 😂
Hello!!! I just found you channel last week and every day I watch one new!!! I leave in Australia!!! You should come here next !! This it’s an amazing country!!! Loooveee Blue!!! And I’m enjoying you videos a lot!!!
Loved this. You are a great person indeed. You'd be the nicest friend.
Must love Jesus and Blue! ❤❤❤
I about died when you said your favorite band was the Beastie Boys! There aren’t a lot of people our age who would say that, but I’m right there with you 👊🩷 b-girls be rockin on and on 😎
Beautiful dog Maria
