Yes girl, just live, every day, make the best of it. Age, and getting old, is relative. When I was a little kid, 30 seemed old. Then I turned 30, and 50 seemed old. I’m 57 now, and 80 seems old. My mother(in law) is 81, but she doesn’t seem old to me. Stay active, keep moving, keep enjoying, this one life we get.
Totally agree, I turned 60 last June (so don't feel it) and it seems time has just flown by. Remember my teen years so distinctively and reminisce with my bff quite a bit. Stay active, eat healthy but most of all, give your life to God, follow Him daily and get to know Him by reading the Bible. ❤❤❤🌍🙏
Totally relate to that! Turning 57 next month hopefully. My mom who will turn 90 in April always say: “ I maybe look old to you but I’m still young inside , I don’t feel old”. Enjoy life you two! 🍀💜

"I wanna feel like I've lived for 10,000 years not just a hundred" I truly felt that ❤ I just quoted this and shared it on my social media accounts this is a great quote
People need people, it’s nice to see that you guys got together when you both needed to not be cold and alone:) I wish the best for both of you and everyone❤️
It’s not really even anyone’s business if they are hooking up or not - not that they wouldn’t make a cute couple; but ppl should really learn how to not be so nosy. 😒
Yeah, this! Also, are people really speculating that they are a couple? C'mon - zero sexual tension there! They're obviously just friends. :D Loved this video especially the bit about needing people, that made me cry. I miss people. x
I feel like my impression of you has morphed now through the videos of your trip with Hannah. Before you were this idyllic almost like old-timey cottage woman who weaved her own clothes and had a garden and cooked beyond healthy and maybe was a little mad 🤪 and you weren’t relatable but you were aesthetic and dreamy and now you’re a normal twenty something year old woman who talks about boys and eats snacks and just wants to have fun. You feel more real and normal and not at a level of perfect that personally, I could never attain. Even seeing you hang with your mountain friends was like “this is pretty but my friends and I don’t sing songs and run though snowy mountains together” but now it’s like “my friends and I definitely lay out on the beach and drink wine”. So this was refreshing to see.
I feel like she ate and danced all thru the Hannah vids and I loved it! l Way to embrace life😄 ETA: Oh...,I just watched a video from about a month ago where she answers questions and someone said she eats a lot and it offended her a bit. I don't mean to offend! I love the healthy foods and beautiful way Isa cares for herself. I hope I wasn't offensive.
Me as well! On my solo travel journey in South East Asia it always broke my heart to say goodbye to like-minded people I've just met. And the same with pets when I just got to love them so much. It's truly a sad thing to say goodbye to the beings you love yet it can teach you a lot if you allow it in.
You are so right Isabel. Grandma told me to enjoy my youth because time would go by faster. She was so right. Years have become months, and months have become days. I so miss my Grandma so very much. In the last two years, I've lost my Dad and my Son ( My only child ) Love your channel. I'm glad you had fun with Hannah. It's been a blast watching your adventure with her. I hope you get to do it again soon XXX
When I was writting down my list of things that i'm grateful for today, I wrote down isabel paige. Thank you sweetie for sharing your inspiring life with us and thank you for being such a beautiful soul. You feel like a soul sister. Love you sister
She definitely reopened my eyes time is of the essence of life enjoying it more is half the battle loving that self is the other , everything else is relatively trivial in my nature...❄️🙏👍✌️🤙🤔😔
This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen...I love how you said: " I want to feel like I've lived for 10,000 years...I just wanna live"
Dear Isabel, many times I've thought about writing you a letter of gratitude with the phrase "oh my gosh wow" on it. But seriously, I think this my most favorite films of yours. I LOVED the scenes with these magical trees with the white hanging stuff on it (I sadly have no idea what they are named after, I never saw one of those in real life). The sun breaking through the trees and its warm rays shining into the camera, seemingly lightening up all of us from the inside out, gifting people in their darkest hours (I am one of those) a little light. Thank you, for hanging in there and keep creating your magnificent art. I will never get tired of hearing "oh my gosh wow" or "holy smokes" as I adore your rawness. I appreciate people who are down to earth, living with purpose, gratefully connected with nature. You are one of those persons of whom I will think and smile about, with sparkles of joy in my eyes, when I am old and thankfully saying goodbye to this lifetime on earth. My heart is warm and now I am going to bed with a little bit more hope for a new day and a timely spot for therapy in a psychosomatic clinic. I am sending you lots of love, Jasmin
I have lived quite a life, though perhaps not as adventurous as you. 41 years in Alaska living almost off the grid in Wasilla for the last 10 years of it. It was incredible, of course. After my parents retired from their dental business and moved to Tennessee, I promised them when they felt the time was right I would move down closer to then to be on hand when they felt they needed more help due to possible infirmities. That time did not happen, but events came together in such a way that almost 3 and a half years ago I packed up what I could, loaded a trailer to a jury-rigged hitch on my 2010 Toyota Camry along with my two cats in their carriers and drove from Alaska to Tennessee. Managed to land a job in North Carolina just before moving, and so after spending a little time in Tennessee, I moved on into Hickory, NC. I admit I was scared shitless by the move. Settled in one place for so long and never having made such a journey in my adult life was the root of it, I think. But thank God I did! Driving through Alaska, Canada and then across the country are all experiences I will never forget and am so Blessed to have taken. Not one to really take life or love (I will not bore you with those three great heartbreaks) for granted, things got tough after my brother passed from a very short battle with liver cancer, leaving a wife of ten years and daughter of 6 behind. More details I could go into but suffice to say when you were speaking of enjoying all things little and great that life has every day, oh yes by Jove, I am so right there with you. I even accept and embrace the sadness that comes even two years after my brother’s passing, grateful that the love for him and memories of him are such that the loss, though lessens as time passes, remains so poignant. Hell, I work 4 10-hour days a week and am grateful for those and the 3-day weekends, and I could, again, go into so much else, such as now sharing a sort of duplex with my parents who are now, in fact, in need for my regular help and am so very damn grateful to be able to give back to them what the have given me, now in their 83rd years. I ramble on, but simply wished to thank you for and reinforce your wise words on enjoying all Life has.
your little speech about getting old and doing things that you‘re scared of made me tear up and realize that it is so so true. Life IS short. too short. live. cut your hair. wear what u like. leave your home and travel in a van!! ugh. thank u for this. my heart is full. ❤️
@@taoist32 wow that's beautiful that you can remember it so intensely! Would love to hear about some memories of yours if you like to share them with us. Sending love from Germany!
One of the many reasons I love this channel and this family is because they are always laughing. If you smile at the world, the world will smile back. Laughing is good for the soul!!
The older you get, the faster the years go by. Trust me on this. Life is like a roll of toilet paper... the closer you get to the end, the quicker it goes. And that truly sucks.
Isabel, thank you for the kind and thoughtful words. I had given up after a long and protracted battle with illness, and found great strength through your videos. 10,000 years... I'll see you there.
I woke up and realized all of this at 40 years old.. I'm 42 now and you're right routine just kills time day after day goes by and u don't even realize it
@Matty Elemental Sound LA .... just turned 41 on the first of February, but I feel as though I went to sleep 25 years of age and woke up in my forties. Routine is definitely a time consumer. Nonetheless, since I’ve ripened to the good old age of 41, I have decided to live intentionally from this moment forward. Join me on this rode to intentional living. ❤️
Yes....before you know t it was years...you look back and can't believe you live in this home longer than you did growing up in your hometown. Except....you didn't end up learning as much these years you are gone from home! You don't know the city you live in now as much as the one you grew up in even though you spend less time there. Why do we learn little the second 20 0r 30 years of our life than the first 20 or 30 even though now we hold a job, maybe got married, had children...... I'm blabbing. I guess you made me think.....
We are NEVER alone for Christ is always with us it's just some of us do not know this. Christ has carried each of us many times and we didn't even know it. Talk to Christ for he is real and Most Mighty. Thank Him for his love and Mercy 💞
So many emotions here, the sweetness of friendship, beauty of shared experiences, realization of ones own finite existence/precious life/time, bitterness of parting ways, joy of family and the familiar home; this is what is real and worthy of your attention. When you arrive home your mother and brother greet you with love and you see the evidence of their thriving, this is all evidence that no human thrives alone. This is why Hannah's experience of alone is greater than yours (at this time, when she returns to her empty van). A great example of how to live a happy life lies in these experiences.
This has to be one of the best off the grid channels I've watched and I've watched a lot. I'm 54 years old and going off grid this year, so excited. I've had a great life so far can't wait for the next 40-50 years. Isabel you're such a beautiful soul and an inspiration!
since i discovered your channel i found myself being more mindful & genuinely happy for the little things in my life, like the first snow & a cup of hot coffee, reading more & dedicating time to things that bring me joy, putting in work to nurture my inner child!!! thank you 💛
I am inspired to live in the moment and truly enjoy the moments we have. Finding beautiful and peaceful places and truly appreciating life and what is in it not just people and things.
I spend a lot of time hiking and doing things alone in the wilderness and as much as I enjoy it, sometimes I really wish I could share it with someone because it is so incredible.
"When you do things that scare you, that take you out of your comfort zone, it forces you to wake up, to really see the simple beauties of life" Hell yeah.
That monologue was great. Almost brought me to tears... I just miss traveling and see new places, meeting new people and getting out of my comfort zone...
I loved the part about really living. It made me cry a little bit. People don't think about this enough and channels like yours really inspire people to make the most out of this short life we have.
Good for you two, doing all of these adventurous things while young. It's not that they can't be done when older; however, the older one gets, the more responsibilities they take on, and the less time and money there is for free spirited flings. My bestie and I did the same thing when we hit 18...only in Europe! Had a blast, made so many memories. So glad we did, because she died suddenly in our early 30's. Life is too short for wasted and missed opportunities. Keep doing what you're doing, and keep sharing with all of us. I for one get an enormous kick out of it all, and it brings back so many happy times😎🥰✈
@@RunninUpThatHillh that's quite interesting, she does seem quite close to her parents and tho I have no idea how old she is she seems like early 20's that would leave her with plenty of time to have a family, also if she is older and meets someone really worth while and has kids already does that take away from her having a family with that person? This isn't intended to be smart or anything I just wonder what you mean, please explain more... My comment was from a place of putting myself in her shoes, it just sucks getting hurt over and over and over again looking for a life partner when you could be out building a life you love for yourself and develop other types of helpful relationships with people
I started watching you when you started this trip with Hannah and your channel along with hers has made me so happy the past couple weeks. You made me remember to not take the little things for granted, especially nature, which can be hard to do in the winter and to connect more with other people as you have done with Hannah. I am excited to continue watching the rest of your journey!
As a young man I had the wanderlust in spades. I HAD to move and see and do. Which is why I like their channels. But, just like these girls, I found the cold loneliness as well as the beauty and serenity. There was a point when the introspection in the wilderness experience brought the understanding of my own inner struggles with a degree of relief and allowed the creativity to flow. An amazing rite of passage and maturation for me. And then the need to go home. (Or in my case to create a home.) I thank God for my wanderings and the lessons he gave me for it has been the basis for the strength in the rest of my life.
When she’s walking through snow, carrying bags at the end I thought, yep, that’s a work out! No wonder she’s so fit. I’ve noticed both girls are not lazy at all!
I came over from Hannah's channel! I literally got half way through this video and just got hit with a wave of emotions and started to cry a little. I was happy for these 2 gorgeous women to be doing something that they love and enjoy so much. I was sad that I wasn't with them, or at the very least, out doing something similar. I started to remember all the joy I had as a kid when my family and I went on vacations, which brought on the depression of being an adult and not going on vacations any more. All in all, I love both of you girls! I love your videos, and I can't wait to see what you two do in the future! 🥰
I get the swimming thing. Hot or cold water, doesn’t matter. In a shower or in swimming pool or in the lake or ocean. Each time it feels like a water takes away all the pains of this world, the body, mind and spirit feel alive again! 🇨🇦❤️🌈🌎🏄♀️🦋
Oh girl! I want to feel I loved for 10’000 years and not 100! You’re making this middle aged woman cry! You a s Hannah are so brave! I wish I would’ve had half the guts you girls do when I was your age!
All I want in my life is to find like minded friends my age. I have absolutely no one. I am free spirited and want to be in the forest. I don't want to party and get trashed. Im 19 and live in Colorado. I have friends, but no one who cares about how they live their lives or who want to be free and live with a purpose. It's so hard to be alone in that aspect.
This is turned out one of my favorite videos of all. Two independent, brave and gifted ladies enjoying beautiful moments of their precious life which is so inspiring to watch. Many of us twice age don’t know how to do it. Living alone myself with the dog on the mountain I know exactly what Isabelle said how wonderful it is to share this moments with the friend who think a lot like
I noticed that too. I checked both videos to see if I had maybe missed something. I hope there wasn't an off-camera fight that cut their travels short.
Perhaps Isabelle is just the type of person who doesn’t use the word lightly because it gets thrown around so loosely these days. I’m that way. I can understand why she wouldn’t be quick to say it.
“I remember my granny used to tell me how fast life goes by, and how quickly it all ends. And I think about that quite often actually, because we only have a certain amount of time here on this earth. I find myself thinking about what can I consciously do to make the most of my life? I think about being old and feeling like my life flew by, and that thought scares the heck out of me. But what I’ve come to realize is when you do things that scare you, that take you out of your comfort zone, it forces you to wake up, to really see the simple beauties of life. I really have realized that being stuck in the same routine, day after day, truly is the enemy of time. Routine just makes it fly by. I really want to be aware and awake every day of my life so that I can fully experience the love and beauty and joys of this world. I want to feel like I’ve lived for 10 000 years and not just a 100. But really truly, I just want to live.” That really stuck. Because I share your fears, but not your actions, not enough. Thank you for this Isabel! A needed wake up call.
Two souls who dare to challenge themselves - by sharing the little time they have in their lives. Not 100 minutes, but 1000 moments. Hannah and Isabel are love ❤️
She puts into words what I felt in my 20's. She gets it and sees what really matters in life. She really lives! She does it simply and with grace. She's really free in every sense of the word. "No obligations" (sigh) I'm not sure if all the yoga she's been doing for so long did this, but I'm quite inspired to take out my yoga mat and start doing my downward dog!
I know many viewers have commented on your video making skills...This video once again shows how talented you are...Each one if not most of your videos could be a movie.
Glad you two got to be friends. All good things have to come to an end.I wish when I was growing up I would have not just worked all the time.Never thought of doing half the things you do.
Isabel, you are an amazing young lady and want you to know that I truly appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing your life's journey. Never stop being your beautiful self, your love for nature and your purpose of creativity and your willingness to share with so many viewers.
What an adventure it was ! I even felt the sun through my screen, it was nice seeing to people having the best time of their lives. I'm sure we'll see more of you two in a couples months 🌷 Can't wait to see the spring in those mountains 🌞
If you date enough "Boys", you'll eventually figure out what type of "Man" you need as a life partner. Don't be in a rush to get locked into a relationship. You are young and free and know how to experience life. Stay free as long as you can. You will have much more personal growth if you stay single.
Not True as everybody's experience is different,best thing you could do is have a relationship at your age as it don't get easier the older you get,these people giving advice have never even been kissed and probably never will with their I am so great philosophy.
It is amazing to see how much your cinematography skills have improved! I love the parts in this video is when the point of view is far away and you and Hannah are walking in a pool of water (15:17). It makes you realize how big the world really is!
I think you probably have many talents. I have already seen some. But you have an amazing talent for capturing these special moments. They are all beautiful. Thank you.
"It's a whole other thing to share the beauty of this world with another person, and I really think that life is better when you share moments with others." This resonates with me 100% - There is nothing quite like making memories with others.
Guys, Hannah and you together in these few videos has been a journey for me. I'm studying a lot in dark and gloomy Scotland and this brought me so much joy and confort. Made me feel like you were my friends. I never wanted it to end. Also your reflection in the middle of the video was so freaking inspiring. Thank you :´)
9:25-11:25 This is my favorite part of the video.. I was listening to you speak and the whole time I'm thinking this is exactly how I feel about life. I wish there was a better opportunity for more of us to have the times, to do the things and have the experiences. Very well said!
Your very wise for your age. I can attest, your grandmother was right. My grandfather told me when I was young that life goes by really fast. Unlike you, I didn’t take his words to heart. And now, here I am 65 years on this planet and those years seem like a short story. So, she was right. Make every moment count. Taste, touch, examine, love, hate, everything your path takes you through. Every person you meet or just pass on the street, for one fleeting second, was meant to be there in that moment sharing that space with you. If we all looked at each other with that in mind, this ride through life would be even sweeter. Great videos by the way!
Please know that you are such an inspiration to all of us. I had tiny tears when you two were parting ways. It’s the best of times and the worst. Thank you for sharing your beautiful travels! God bless...
The way that you document life has me in tears so often. You can see so much love from the perspective you share with us. I am ever grateful that you share these moments. ♡ Your work fills my soul in the same ways I am yearning for this Life to be Lived!
Sad good-byes make for happy hellos down the road. :) Your introspection while the seagulls were on the beach really resonated with me. Don't get stuck in a time shortening routine. Live your life like you are. You don't want to be older and regret it. Be well as you howl to the mountains your welcome back greetings. :)
It's so interesting to me, I am stuck at home with my family and the thing I want the most is to be alone. Hannah and Isabel are so isolated. Really goes to show that people ALL around are experiencing different things and they're all so valid. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy
Curious if hanging out with Hannah has changed your mind about monetizing your videos? You really should, they are beautiful and you deserve to get compensated for them!
They say simple pleasures are the best and you have mastered the art of simple pleasures. You are without a doubt one of the most unique and beautiful souls I’ve ever seen. Don’t ever change.
Aloha, One of the most inspiring videos I have seen in awhile. Mahalo for your insight. This video makes me miss home in Hawaii, being able to swim everyday . I love how you look at things, I too am passionate and have smiles whenever I am surrounded by nature. That is what a natural high is. Mahalo for helping me to remember this.
Ever since I started watching your videos I long more and more for traveling and escaping the daily routines of today’s lockdown life. Your beautiful soul and way of living really caught my eye. Thank you Isabel for being just the way you are! Your videos are inspiring and make me dream of better days. Love from the Netherlands. You are not alone.

So go live. Don't use this show's angelic hyper-talented and almost magical way how everything just works out.
I feel like Isabel’s videos show us we should appreciate the little things in life and the beauties of life.
Yes exactly what I thought too!
That's one of the feelings I get from them too. They remind me to be still and see the beauty in the ordinary. 🙏🏻
When you really think about it, they're far from being little. Being alive in itself is mindblowing.

But that's the life we should realize that we are not or we cannot be perfect wherever how we live , and she shows that's in this video.

Such a lovely and heartfelt comment. 🙏🏻
Isabel's thoughts from 10:00 - 11:24 were so moving. Those words resonated deeply with me.
I have lived quite a life, though perhaps not as adventurous as you. 41 years in Alaska living almost off the grid in Wasilla for the last 10 years of it. It was incredible, of course. After my parents retired from their dental business and moved to Tennessee, I promised them when they felt the time was right I would move down closer to then to be on hand when they felt they needed more help due to possible infirmities. That time did not happen, but events came together in such a way that almost 3 and a half years ago I packed up what I could, loaded a trailer to a jury-rigged hitch on my 2010 Toyota Camry along with my two cats in their carriers and drove from Alaska to Tennessee. Managed to land a job in North Carolina just before moving, and so after spending a little time in Tennessee, I moved on into Hickory, NC. I admit I was scared shitless by the move. Settled in one place for so long and never having made such a journey in my adult life was the root of it, I think. But thank God I did! Driving through Alaska, Canada and then across the country are all experiences I will never forget and am so Blessed to have taken. Not one to really take life or love (I will not bore you with those three great heartbreaks) for granted, things got tough after my brother passed from a very short battle with liver cancer, leaving a wife of ten years and daughter of 6 behind. More details I could go into but suffice to say when you were speaking of enjoying all things little and great that life has every day, oh yes by Jove, I am so right there with you. I even accept and embrace the sadness that comes even two years after my brother’s passing, grateful that the love for him and memories of him are such that the loss, though lessens as time passes, remains so poignant. Hell, I work 4 10-hour days a week and am grateful for those and the 3-day weekends, and I could, again, go into so much else, such as now sharing a sort of duplex with my parents who are now, in fact, in need for my regular help and am so very damn grateful to be able to give back to them what the have given me, now in their 83rd years. I ramble on, but simply wished to thank you for and reinforce your wise words on enjoying all Life has.
Thank you for sharing your story
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful
That was generous of you to share. How we all long to share our stories.
Thats cool it ain't over yet uh
Thank you for sharing ❤️
your little speech about getting old and doing things that you‘re scared of made me tear up and realize that it is so so true. Life IS short. too short. live. cut your hair. wear what u like. leave your home and travel in a van!! ugh. thank u for this. my heart is full. ❤️
Life goes by really fast. I am almost 50 and I still remember my 20’s so vividly. It’s crazy that it goes by in the blink of an eye.
@@taoist32 wow that's beautiful that you can remember it so intensely! Would love to hear about some memories of yours if you like to share them with us. Sending love from Germany!
“Routine is the enemy of time”. That couldn’t be more true. Very profound!!
One of the many reasons I love this channel and this family is because they are always laughing. If you smile at the world, the world will smile back. Laughing is good for the soul!!
The older you get, the faster the years go by. Trust me on this. Life is like a roll of toilet paper... the closer you get to the end, the quicker it goes. And that truly sucks.
I had to steal your Gumpian style quote.
🏅 Well said!
That's deep shit.
Hella deep
LOL you have a profound way with words!
Isabel, thank you for the kind and thoughtful words. I had given up after a long and protracted battle with illness, and found great strength through your videos.
10,000 years... I'll see you there.
I'm not sure why but this comment made me cry. That's so sweet, see you in 10.000 years 💕
@@NeedANewName Me too....
I woke up and realized all of this at 40 years old.. I'm 42 now and you're right routine just kills time day after day goes by and u don't even realize it
Time flies by regardless, but I agree about routines killing time. Too much structure in one’s life is the death knell.
@Matty Elemental Sound LA .... just turned 41 on the first of February, but I feel as though I went to sleep 25 years of age and woke up in my forties. Routine is definitely a time consumer. Nonetheless, since I’ve ripened to the good old age of 41, I have decided to live intentionally from this moment forward. Join me on this rode to intentional living. ❤️
I am 43 and just now learning to live with more intent.
Yes....before you know t it was years...you look back and can't believe you live in this home longer than you did growing up in your hometown. Except....you didn't end up learning as much these years you are gone from home! You don't know the city you live in now as much as the one you grew up in even though you spend less time there. Why do we learn little the second 20 0r 30 years of our life than the first 20 or 30 even though now we hold a job, maybe got married, had children...... I'm blabbing. I guess you made me think.....
A must watch, tasty food vlogs🍲😊 th-cam.com/play/PLj6LjdH7qzEDdayiR02pSR6wiIgaa11Al.html
You guys aren't alone ever, we are all out here.
3:54 Is it you little doggy? :0
Sherry A, yes!!!! That’s the beauty of TH-cam and as I say “little angels” because it’s the boost of hope we give to one another. It’s special
We are NEVER alone for Christ is always with us it's just some of us do not know this. Christ has carried each of us many times and we didn't even know it. Talk to Christ for he is real and Most Mighty. Thank Him for his love and Mercy 💞
So many emotions here, the sweetness of friendship, beauty of shared experiences, realization of ones own finite existence/precious life/time, bitterness of parting ways, joy of family and the familiar home; this is what is real and worthy of your attention. When you arrive home your mother and brother greet you with love and you see the evidence of their thriving, this is all evidence that no human thrives alone. This is why Hannah's experience of alone is greater than yours (at this time, when she returns to her empty van). A great example of how to live a happy life lies in these experiences.
This has to be one of the best off the grid channels I've watched and I've watched a lot. I'm 54 years old and going off grid this year, so excited. I've had a great life so far can't wait for the next 40-50 years. Isabel you're such a beautiful soul and an inspiration!
You and Hannah are such a joy, together and separately.
since i discovered your channel i found myself being more mindful & genuinely happy for the little things in my life, like the first snow & a cup of hot coffee, reading more & dedicating time to things that bring me joy, putting in work to nurture my inner child!!! thank you 💛
th-cam.com/video/A6o1bMqtIZo/w-d-xo.html
Me too. Appreciating all the little things more. I think she's changed my life a little
I am inspired to live in the moment and truly enjoy the moments we have. Finding beautiful and peaceful places and truly appreciating life and what is in it not just people and things.
I spend a lot of time hiking and doing things alone in the wilderness and as much as I enjoy it, sometimes I really wish I could share it with someone because it is so incredible.
Me 2
That's why others film it..other write a book so they can share..
"When you do things that scare you, that take you out of your comfort zone, it forces you to wake up, to really see the simple beauties of life" Hell yeah.
"Routine is the enemy of time". How profound for such a young mind.
"Happiness is only real when shared"... -Christopher McCandless
I watched this movie just last night. Loved this message in the movie. So needed it in my life right now!
Omg I watched that movie
I love that movie!
@@saumyathakur1428 name of the movie please !!
@@shining699 Into the Wild
i feel like i shouldn't be watching this for free, this was ART!!! especially the part at 11:28, soo beautiful 😍
th-cam.com/video/A6o1bMqtIZo/w-d-xo.html
Indeed.
Yes!! Please get on tube and get paid for art you making. You are amazing!!
The cinematography and the music. It’s so beautiful🥺
That monologue was great. Almost brought me to tears... I just miss traveling and see new places, meeting new people and getting out of my comfort zone...
I loved the part about really living. It made me cry a little bit. People don't think about this enough and channels like yours really inspire people to make the most out of this short life we have.
Good for you two, doing all of these adventurous things while young. It's not that they can't be done when older; however, the older one gets, the more responsibilities they take on, and the less time and money there is for free spirited flings. My bestie and I did the same thing when we hit 18...only in Europe! Had a blast, made so many memories. So glad we did, because she died suddenly in our early 30's. Life is too short for wasted and missed opportunities. Keep doing what you're doing, and keep sharing with all of us. I for one get an enormous kick out of it all, and it brings back so many happy times😎🥰✈
It's worth being alone until you find someone that sees the same love and beauty in you as you see in nature
Maybe if you're parents still tend to you and you have no plans for a family.
@@RunninUpThatHillh that's quite interesting, she does seem quite close to her parents and tho I have no idea how old she is she seems like early 20's that would leave her with plenty of time to have a family, also if she is older and meets someone really worth while and has kids already does that take away from her having a family with that person?
This isn't intended to be smart or anything I just wonder what you mean, please explain more...
My comment was from a place of putting myself in her shoes, it just sucks getting hurt over and over and over again looking for a life partner when you could be out building a life you love for yourself and develop other types of helpful relationships with people
I started watching you when you started this trip with Hannah and your channel along with hers has made me so happy the past couple weeks. You made me remember to not take the little things for granted, especially nature, which can be hard to do in the winter and to connect more with other people as you have done with Hannah. I am excited to continue watching the rest of your journey!
I cried. I hated that they had to say goodbye. She always looks so magical when she is surrounded by people who make her happy, it's like she shines
As a young man I had the wanderlust in spades. I HAD to move and see and do. Which is why I like their channels. But, just like these girls, I found the cold loneliness as well as the beauty and serenity. There was a point when the introspection in the wilderness experience brought the understanding of my own inner struggles with a degree of relief and allowed the creativity to flow. An amazing rite of passage and maturation for me. And then the need to go home. (Or in my case to create a home.) I thank God for my wanderings and the lessons he gave me for it has been the basis for the strength in the rest of my life.
"Life is better when you're sharing moments with others" - Isabel 9:47
Truer words have never been spoken.
Isabel 9:47, is that a scripture?
I rememer that's also from "into the wild" ner the end of the movie.
when you were hugging hannah goodbye like, "noooo!" I was like, "NOOOO!" you guys are my faves and seeing you together was so much fun 💕
Me too!! 😭
My emotions.
am i the only one realizing the muscles in this girls? omg they look so strong and healthy! i am happy about it. You channel is amazing, xoxo.
When she’s walking through snow, carrying bags at the end I thought, yep, that’s a work out! No wonder she’s so fit. I’ve noticed both girls are not lazy at all!
I’m too old to comment on these young girls. So I’ll just watch and enjoy their fun
Have you watched her do yoga? Her muscles are strong and flexible. She hikes mountains to make a phone call!
@@melaniefarrow7152 Hahahaha OKAY!! You are right, she is so strong ☀️
I can't believe there is no mentioning of those beautiful mugs. Well done, Isabel's brother!
I came over from Hannah's channel! I literally got half way through this video and just got hit with a wave of emotions and started to cry a little. I was happy for these 2 gorgeous women to be doing something that they love and enjoy so much. I was sad that I wasn't with them, or at the very least, out doing something similar. I started to remember all the joy I had as a kid when my family and I went on vacations, which brought on the depression of being an adult and not going on vacations any more.
All in all, I love both of you girls! I love your videos, and I can't wait to see what you two do in the future! 🥰
I get the swimming thing. Hot or cold water, doesn’t matter. In a shower or in swimming pool or in the lake or ocean. Each time it feels like a water takes away all the pains of this world, the body, mind and spirit feel alive again! 🇨🇦❤️🌈🌎🏄♀️🦋
So cool they met a subscriber in Hannah’s video, while on the River.
Oh girl! I want to feel I loved for 10’000 years and not 100! You’re making this middle aged woman cry! You a s Hannah are so brave! I wish I would’ve had half the guts you girls do when I was your age!
All I want in my life is to find like minded friends my age. I have absolutely no one. I am free spirited and want to be in the forest. I don't want to party and get trashed. Im 19 and live in Colorado. I have friends, but no one who cares about how they live their lives or who want to be free and live with a purpose. It's so hard to be alone in that aspect.
Same, but I live in The Netherlands..
@@Laurayoutube22 If only we lived closer!
Same but I live in Argentina
Same... I live in arizona
To find mountain friends. Spend more times in the mountains......... assuming you do not. The best of luck.
This is turned out one of my favorite videos of all. Two independent, brave and gifted ladies enjoying beautiful moments of their precious life which is so inspiring to watch. Many of us twice age don’t know how to do it. Living alone myself with the dog on the mountain I know exactly what Isabelle said how wonderful it is to share this moments with the friend who think a lot like
...with your warm and loving heart and 363k friends you'll never be cold and alone ... ;)
Cute and true
👍
A filmmaker, story teller. Wow, what amazing talent🥰
I have never seen two such lovely ladies having so much fun . Isabel, Hannah, you are a team you belong together, just go for it. Love to you both
“The life and simple beauty of it is too good to pass up” Christopher McCandless.
When they parted and Hannah said “love you” and it wasn’t returned... I FELT THAT 😢 a beautiful series all the same!
I noticed that too. I checked both videos to see if I had maybe missed something. I hope there wasn't an off-camera fight that cut their travels short.
Perhaps Isabelle is just the type of person who doesn’t use the word lightly because it gets thrown around so loosely these days. I’m that way. I can understand why she wouldn’t be quick to say it.
@@deanna1608 I hope you’re right.
I noticed that, also... :/
@@deanna1608 I am that way. I only tell my kids, husband and maybe a few family members that I love them. I have to really mean it.
“I remember my granny used to tell me how fast life goes by, and how quickly it all ends. And I think about that quite often actually, because we only have a certain amount of time here on this earth. I find myself thinking about what can I consciously do to make the most of my life? I think about being old and feeling like my life flew by, and that thought scares the heck out of me. But what I’ve come to realize is when you do things that scare you, that take you out of your comfort zone, it forces you to wake up, to really see the simple beauties of life. I really have realized that being stuck in the same routine, day after day, truly is the enemy of time. Routine just makes it fly by. I really want to be aware and awake every day of my life so that I can fully experience the love and beauty and joys of this world. I want to feel like I’ve lived for 10 000 years and not just a 100. But really truly, I just want to live.”
That really stuck. Because I share your fears, but not your actions, not enough.
Thank you for this Isabel! A needed wake up call.
thx for writing that down
@@RJ-nd2hf You are welcome!
It's already up on my wall in the mean time ^^
@@em-w5438 hahahahaha what a great idea ,god bless you 🌹
Wow..❤❤❤❤
Two souls who dare to challenge themselves - by sharing the little time they have in their lives. Not 100 minutes, but 1000 moments. Hannah and Isabel are love ❤️

Easy to say when your 20. Once you have a family, if that’s what you choose, routines just happen but you try and keep it fresh.
She puts into words what I felt in my 20's. She gets it and sees what really matters in life. She really lives! She does it simply and with grace. She's really free in every sense of the word. "No obligations" (sigh) I'm not sure if all the yoga she's been doing for so long did this, but I'm quite inspired to take out my yoga mat and start doing my downward dog!
I know many viewers have commented on your video making skills...This video once again shows how talented you are...Each one if not most of your videos could be a movie.
That was beautiful what you said. “I want to feel like I lived 1000 years, not just 100”
Glad you two got to be friends. All good things have to come to an end.I wish when I was growing up I would have not just worked all the time.Never thought of doing half the things you do.
Is it just me or are the videos getting more and more beautiful? Both the visuals and the message are just *chef's kiss
Isabel, you are an amazing young lady and want you to know that I truly appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing your life's journey. Never stop being your beautiful self, your love for nature and your purpose of creativity and your willingness to share with so many viewers.
What an adventure it was ! I even felt the sun through my screen, it was nice seeing to people having the best time of their lives. I'm sure we'll see more of you two in a couples months 🌷 Can't wait to see the spring in those mountains 🌞
If you date enough "Boys", you'll eventually figure out what type of "Man" you need as a life partner. Don't be in a rush to get locked into a relationship. You are young and free and know how to experience life. Stay free as long as you can. You will have much more personal growth if you stay single.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey where were people as wise as you when I was 20?! You are absolutely right! Wait and don’t settle.
Not True as everybody's experience is different,best thing you could do is have a relationship at your age as it don't get easier the older you get,these people giving advice have never even been kissed and probably never will with their I am so great philosophy.
Exactly!
Love this 😀 ❤
Whoever is processing this video, please do it fast. Lol
Beautiful people. Looking forward on Hannah visiting your tiny home too. :) Keep safe.
I know right
Ha ha ha
woooow it's still processing!!! 4 hours after your comment!! why so loooongggg???? omg
@Joy Sundari IT IS STILL PROCESSING and it is now the day after posting 🤦♂️
It is amazing to see how much your cinematography skills have improved! I love the parts in this video is when the point of view is far away and you and Hannah are walking in a pool of water (15:17). It makes you realize how big the world really is!
Isabel, please thank your brother for all his hard work on the mugs...can't wait to get a few of them soon. ❤👍
Christina where can we buy these nice mugs?
I think you probably have many talents. I have already seen some. But you have an amazing talent for capturing these special moments. They are all beautiful. Thank you.
Well she is back to the mountains....probably an internet connection problem 😂😂
Love you isabel ❤
"It's a whole other thing to share the beauty of this world with another person,
and I really think that life is better when you share moments with others."
This resonates with me 100% - There is nothing quite like making memories with others.
Such a beautiful video.. Wonderful time, beautiful friendship.. literarly breathteaking.. You are awesome! Greetings from Serbia🙃💖
This video, the look, sound and feel, needs to be seen by a larger audience. Very special.
Guys, Hannah and you together in these few videos has been a journey for me. I'm studying a lot in dark and gloomy Scotland and this brought me so much joy and confort. Made me feel like you were my friends. I never wanted it to end. Also your reflection in the middle of the video was so freaking inspiring. Thank you :´)
you made it look like you’re just absolutely in love with hannah! your friendship is so beautiful.
This hits me in the feelings. Been alone for ten years.
Hang in there
This is one of the most beautiful and heart wrenching videos i've ever seen. Amazing Isabel
9:25-11:25 This is my favorite part of the video.. I was listening to you speak and the whole time I'm thinking this is exactly how I feel about life. I wish there was a better opportunity for more of us to have the times, to do the things and have the experiences. Very well said!
Your very wise for your age. I can attest, your grandmother was right. My grandfather told me when I was young that life goes by really fast. Unlike you, I didn’t take his words to heart. And now, here I am 65 years on this planet and those years seem like a short story. So, she was right. Make every moment count. Taste, touch, examine, love, hate, everything your path takes you through. Every person you meet or just pass on the street, for one fleeting second, was meant to be there in that moment sharing that space with you. If we all looked at each other with that in mind, this ride through life would be even sweeter. Great videos by the way!
This is one of my absolute favorite videos you've done.
This is art, and it’s beautiful. Thank you
Going to miss yours and Hannah's Van life adventures.
Please know that you are such an inspiration to all of us. I had tiny tears when you two were parting ways. It’s the best of times and the worst. Thank you for sharing your beautiful travels! God bless...
The way that you document life has me in tears so often. You can see so much love from the perspective you share with us. I am ever grateful that you share these moments. ♡ Your work fills my soul in the same ways I am yearning for this Life to be Lived!
Sad good-byes make for happy hellos down the road. :) Your introspection while the seagulls were on the beach really resonated with me. Don't get stuck in a time shortening routine. Live your life like you are. You don't want to be older and regret it. Be well as you howl to the mountains your welcome back greetings. :)
Graditude turns what we have into enough, just hold onto your beautiful picture's in your mind and you can replay them over and over.
So well said. To be grateful is to be at peace.
I adore these two young ladies..so sad to see them separate. Can't wait to see what their next chapter will be. ♥️♥️
I love the beauty you share in all your videos! Soothing to the eyes.
It's so interesting to me, I am stuck at home with my family and the thing I want the most is to be alone. Hannah and Isabel are so isolated. Really goes to show that people ALL around are experiencing different things and they're all so valid. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy
Your beautiful. Thank you for your wisdom.
I never thought my home state could look so beautiful, this is eye opening.
Curious if hanging out with Hannah has changed your mind about monetizing your videos? You really should, they are beautiful and you deserve to get compensated for them!
I totally agree!!!
I wonder this as well!
Perhaps a Nice Tip for a Treasured Memory of a Funtastic ~ "Freedom Isabel" Cup☕😉 ~ Possibilities 😃😍💜🙏
She Is NOT monetised ? Unbelivable !
She is SO talented! They both are! And this was SO delightful!
You and Hannah balance each other out so well seems like the beginning of a long friendship :) wish y’all the best
They say simple pleasures are the best and you have mastered the art of simple pleasures. You are without a doubt one of the most unique and beautiful souls I’ve ever seen. Don’t ever change.
Live your life girl!! Go do all the things you want to do and don't settle until you do ❤❤
Aloha, One of the most inspiring videos I have seen in awhile. Mahalo for your insight. This video makes me miss home in Hawaii, being able to swim everyday . I love how you look at things, I too am passionate and have smiles whenever I am surrounded by nature. That is what a natural high is. Mahalo for helping me to remember this.
Mahalo for your insights too! Haiwaii is a beautiful imagination, thank your for inspiring me.
the whole waking up by the ocean part is my dream life . I'd want that everyday .
Beautiful! Your Grammy is so right !I married young and raised two children in a blink of an eye.
Ever since I started watching your videos I long more and more for traveling and escaping the daily routines of today’s lockdown life. Your beautiful soul and way of living really caught my eye. Thank you Isabel for being just the way you are! Your videos are inspiring and make me dream of better days. Love from the Netherlands. You are not alone.
What you said about sharing the beauty of this world really reminded of the quote from into the wild “happiness is only real when shared”
