Amiga I just subscribed to your channel, I’m originally from El Salvador but have 2:53 lived in Southern California since 1979, all I can simply tell you is stop worrying about what other you tube travelers are doing, create your own road, your own destination, enjoy the scenery the people the food,ENJOY THE MOMENTS , who cares of what other people are doing. Don’t be a follower, You lead your own life, road and destination!!!!!❤
Hola hermosa, just wanted to share with you that, right now there is a massive energy shift, and a solar eclipse + new moon a couple of days ago and Mercury is in retrograde (tech issues, miscommunication, etc), what you are feeling is totally normal, ride the wave, it will settle down soon. It's bringing up shitty stuff for me also. Girl, I admire you're strength and you inspire me. Was just think of what should I do next and watching your videos makes me what to explore Mexico. I know it's a lot of work, time and energy. Rest if you need too, listen to your body. Sending a wave 🌊of soothing energy🙌
Aw thank you so much, this was relieving to read, ride the wave, good reminder, thank you! Thanks so much for your kind and sweet words and so cool to hear you may explore Mexico! Thanks for all the good vibes 💜💜
"Comparison is the thief of joy" You are doing your own thing and are unique in your own way, your content is phenomenal and its a shame the algorithm has not picked up on it yet, That doesnt mean your less of a person or creator! I have seen amazing creators struggle for years to get the viewership they deserve and suddenly one video just pops off and its all uphill from there! The only thing that matters is that you push through and you dont give up, failing is just learning how to succeed. You dont truly fail until you give up! I think your content is definitely worthy of 1M+ subs and you do an excellent job capturing it just stay consistent and your time will come! Sincerely, a fan from Canada!
Ahhh it truly is!!! Aw thank you so much, that is so nice to hear, such an encouraging reminder, helpful to hear, I really appreciate it. You are so right about failing, I am going to reframe it in my mind that way, thank you!! Wow that’s such a compliment, thank you! Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your words and encouragement!
Hi, i'm from Guatemala. First, thanks for visit my country and show all the amazing people, places and views. Let me tell something about you. You're an a amazing woman for do this, Ride your bike, travel a lot of miles. Keep going!!!!!! Keep going show the countries, cities. Because this is not for everyone, and you do it. God bless you and protect your way, You're beautiful, stronger, and amazing. Please keep going! God blees you. XO
Hi Tammy! I completely understand how you felt! I think you are incredibly strong doing what you are doing! Travelling all the time tough and you are doing it on your own! TH-cam is incredibly tough too and despite good videos it's difficult to get exposure. You are certainly not a loser and never compare yourself to other people! If you want to play that game then remember you are doing more than millions of people! 😀😀 Whether you keep going or not is your decision but know that we think you are great and support you! 🥰 Ride safe!
I'm from El Salvador and I just watched the last two videos. But I need a feedback to understand for real about her frustrating. What's wrong with her?
Aw thank you so much Jackie!! I so appreciate the encouragement and words and especially because I know you understand the game and how it came be. Thanks for the support and taking the time to share, it is an honor to be out here doing this with you guys as community!! Big hugs!
The reason I like your blog is because it is different , it's not so much about the riding, that is simply your mode of transportation, for me it is ENTIRELY about your insights into your feelings and mind set. I have nothing but admiration for who you are as a human, I do not compare you to anyone because you totally blow my mind with what you are doing, the experiences you have, how people and animals react to you but mostly how open hearted and positive you are. You are living an incredible life! It can be hard at times but you will get through it. You are not only a favorite for me, I end up thinking about what you share throughout the week, you are truly inspiring and I could care less how much off road riding you do, you are a smart individual and you make the choices you make for your own reasons. Be well. If you decide to continue I will be happy, but if you decide to not continue I trust it will be the right decision, it's easy to say "don't give up" but sometimes you just need to re-prioritize what is important in your life and if the blogging is not joyful or what you had hoped for, then there is no shame in stopping IMHO.
Oh wow your words are so powerful to receive, thank you so much Yolanda 🙏💜💜💜It is really cool to hear what you take away from the vlog and it makes me really happy to know. Thank you so much for such sweet words and for the encouragement, as well as the understanding. Even though my mind can fall into the trap of getting down on numbers, I do come back to remembering that I really like the creating process and learning to get better and better. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your really generous and kind words, they are really impactful and mean a lot. Thank you!! 💞🤗
YOU ARE: Young, beautiful, brave, adventurous, strong, POWERFUL, and inspirational. AN AMAZING WOMAN... sending ❤️ ❤❤. May you travels be safe and fun. BLESSINGS.
Thank you for your honest sharing. Self reflection is healthy. We all have those moments. Don’t give up. Know I’m in your corner. Every Sunday morning I look forward to your vlog. Hope my small donation helps. Do take care.
Don’t doubt yourself, you are great. Don’t ever think those other bloggers never have this feeling you’re having now, if they don’t publish that it doesn’t mean they don’t have it. Take your rest once in a while, it would be nice too for us to see how you spend time getting around with locals. We just were 3 months in Oaxaca and everybody was exited to see us get acquainted with the locals, their stories… Go go girl you’re doing great ❤
My heart goes out to you Tammy..The hard work you must put in to get about and then to have to document it for us on YT aswell..physically and mentally.i cant explain why your channel isn't so much more popular and growing a lot more as it deserves..I wish I knew the secret to get your cool vlogs to as many views as you need to keep you going..As always Stay Safe and keep Strong..Your doing a great job and hope all the hard work pays off soon..🙏✌️
Aw thank you so much for the understanding and for putting it into words. I so appreciate the encouragement and I enjoy reading your comments every week, they really encourage me, thanks so much for taking the time to write them, they really mean a lot. Thank you!!
The reason is because she doesn't upload enough. One of the keys to growing a channel is uploading more frequently (multiple times per week) with shorter duration videos.
Just watched your recent Movie! First, another great production! Great storyline and composition. You are really the master of taking great B Roll and sprinkling it throughout your videos! So many different angles. Really, great job with that as usual! Next, I really appreciate your authenticity! I follow quite a few content creators (not just Motovloggers), and often there is so much “clickbait” and self-promotion. Kinda turns me off. But you have an authentic, natural, style sharing your stories with the camera. Lastly, with regard to your struggles, I’d recommend patience. Good things take time. As a “TH-camr” myself, I also get disappointed that things aren’t progressing as fast as I would like. But I also have so much to learn. Take care and hang in there. Look forward to your next story!
Thank you so much Duncan!! I so appreciate your detailed words and it’s so awesome to hear the things that you are enjoying, thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the recommendation and I think you are exactly right, i know you get it and it’s helpful to hear from a fellow creator. I really love the process of learning and after I trip and fall thinking I’m not doing well, I remember that there’s a lot to learn and I’ll continue to get better and that excites me. Thanks so much for your words!
I remember driving back from a solo trip when I saw a rider, he looked so nice in his motorcycle, I did get closer and it was a girl riding a motorcycle, she looked so beautiful with her bike. That sole act inspired me to get a motorcycle, she was my inspiration to start riding. It's been like 5 years since then and I still have that moment in my life. So how many people do you think you have inspired and impacted with your journey? So you are a winner, not everybody has the corauge to follow their dreams as you are doing it. That makes you a champion and a inspiration for others. So keep up with your great work, things will be better!
Comparison is a dream killer. I love your vlogs! They really helped me as we were crossing through Mexico in our van and I was nervous. Each night I watched one and I reminded myself that people are good and adventure is scary. Also, it's really hard to film and edit and do it all but you can do it:)
Ah it sure is, isn’t it!!! Aw thanks so much, that’s so nice to hear! I am SO happy to hear it was helpful!!! That is so cool and so good to remember. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Hi! Searching about El Salvador I discover your channel. And the first thought that came to my mind was "what a brave woman." You are amazing and your channel is so inspiring. Keep it up with the great job!
Don't give up, Tammy! We always look forward to Sundays and your new vlogs! You actually inspired us to plan our own motorcycle trip to Mexico and Latin America! Keep moving forward. - one day at a time! You will be fine! Urszula and Peter
Aw thank you so much you two!!! You are monthly contributors! Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support and your words. That is too cool to know you are planning your trip to MX, LA. Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words!
I'm from El Salvador, wish I was there on that day to meet you and share a moment of Joy with you to make you feel better.. Sometimes being alone makes us feel down for some reason but you are such a beautiful and strong woman you deserve the best.
We know the feeling very well too. It's tough trying to do all of this while traveling. Reach out anytime you need to chat! We've gone back and forth about quitting a few times in the past few months, but we're trying to soldier on.
Tammy, we all share this kind of moment at some point of our lives, regardless what we do. Easier to say "never compare ourselves with others" than done, but have a note to yourself "why" you started this journey will keep you going on a rainy day. Personally, I do think it's important to compare, to an extend - mostly with ourselves, and sometimes with others. Because without any comparison, how do we know who we are, where we are, and how far we have come. Find your own why to keep yourself focus. Thanks for sharing your stories, as always. Hope to meet you on the road one day. :)
do not feel bad because the success of your vlog has not yet arrived but we can say that all your naturalness is an excellent way to show your authenticity I congratulate you for showing your content👍and for visiting this beautiful country El Salvador I leave you my like I hope to see more of you in this country😊🫶🏻
Hola, mujer de la sonrisa alegre, lo más maravilloso de tu camino, es que pudiste cruzar la frontera del miedo a uno mismo, a no ser suficiente, a ser casi nada, casi nadie. Miro tu rostro y encuentro paz, esa serenidad que te brinda recorrer tu propio corazón sin temor a perderte, no encontrarte o quizá jamás volver. Eres extraordinaria, toma cada curva de este planeta inclinándote siempre a las cosas que te hagan feliz, cuídate mucho y recibe un abrazo cálido de un mexicano al que le has mostrado lo bello que es vivir a orillas del destino.
Wow, que increíble tus palabras 🙌🏼🙏🏼 Muchísimas gracias para compartir, mi español no es suficiente para expresar cuantas me tocan pero son muy bonito para leer y me afecta mucho y aprecio mucho!! Un abrazote 💞🤗🙏🏼🙌🏼
We love your vlog!!! We wait with anticipation for each one. Your site was originally shared with me by a friend in Mexico City. We live in Texas. We wish you safety in your journeys and pray for you each day! 🙏 Stay strong and positive!!! You are living our dreams! 🏍️
I just came across your TH-cam channel the other day. I think you are very brave and lucky to be travelling like you do. My life is so boring that I live my life through watching videos like yours about travelling. Please don't get down you could be like me watching videos at home not really experiencing like for real like you are. Thank you Mike
Very sincere my friend... I suggest not riding off road for a while. You have the guts because you have the freedom of feeling & you deserve & have been riding a lot & giving us such nice time. Your voice is magic & captivate us. I 'hope you can overcome loneliness & fears. You want to go riding and have more adventure, but you are not prepared. So, go easy, do not need to jump over rivers & cliffs. A big hug dear friend, keep on.
Smooth sailing is always appreciated and more so after pushing through a few storms right…? look ahead and keep doing what you’re doing. thanks for sharing 😄🇳🇴
Oh my goodness, so well said! I love that!! And truly, I can feel it, once the storm passes, I can see how much I appreciate having gone through! Thank you so much!
You’re crushing. Thank you for sharing that hard couple of days. In that spirit I’ll share that your beautiful treatment of all those pups you find along the way has made me even more aware of ow I treat my pup. He’s gotten many many more sweet pets and head rubs. Just following your lead. ❤🐶 A thought on comparison: you’re approach is unique. Each of us bring an expertise and gifts into the world. I’ve been lifted and inspired by yours. It isn’t gas money, it isn’t greater followership, it isn’t sponsorship, but I hope knowing you’re lifting us lifts you. Also, imma send a tank as soon as I figure out how.
Ahh that’s so cute and so sweet to hear Stephen!! Oh WOW, that means a lot, so beautiful to read your words, thank you so much. And I gotta tell you, you’re so right, it truly is your words and the connection I feel to your expression that truly lifts me and is most impactful, way greater than any count or cash. When I find I have fallen somehow I am reminded of where the true sweetness resides, and it is really in the opportunity to have these exchanges. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Just discovered your cute channel, you seem like a nice person, based on the big name advertisers paired with your content... the algorithm values you highly, I think interest in traveler vlogs is 50% about travel & 50% about personal connection on an emotional level, like shared experience & feelings, just human like the rest of us. which requires vulnerability & honesty, like this video
Hey Tammy, it takes 3-4 years to get a decent following, I’ve only got 500subs but I keep telling myself who am I doing this for. Your paying for the whole trip, it’s your trip, it’s your memories. Out of the tens of thousands of people who do this there are literally only a handful making any income from it. The worst thing you can do is compare with others we are all unique and all bring a different style, grow your channel organically and a loyal following will come. I start my RTW from LA in May, I’ll buy ya a coffee and lunch if we ever pass on the road. Big smiles. Monty.
Luckily I found your channel today. From El Salvador, please don’t give up. I going to send my little contribution for gas’s stuff. Stay visiting El Salvador for a few time and you will see what is coming.😊
What you have done/are doing is something that will stay with you and shape you for the rest of your life. That can only be described as success. Just doing the traveling is immensely challenging (I have done it so I understand completely). And then doing the vlog on top of that adds a whole another level of complexity. So good on you. Please get satisfaction that the people that do see your vlog undoubtedly enjoy it (as I do) and you are creating value for those people. I wish you the best in your adventure!
Thank you so much, Dave. Your words really hit and I appreciate them so much. Thanks for sharing with me and that is very encouraging, I'm so glad to hear it!!
Do not give up things change from one day to another. The adventures are worth more than anything else in life. We all have our low moments in life. My best wishes!
This is tender and authentic Tammy... sending big hugs to hopefully lift your spirit if just a little bit... wish I could just be there and ride along with you for a spell...
Tammy you ARE good enough! I’ve just started watching your vlogs they are very good ! I don’t know what’s wrong with TH-cam algorithms but this is the first time I’ve seen you I also bike in Mexico and I know it’s extremely hard to do everything you’re doing don’t give up girl you’ve got something golden here.
I know you have to have these moments and you have to work through them yourself, but please take on board what you are doing is worthy. If more people took time to pilgrimage and find their true spiritual self the world would be better. The next best thing to that is watching someone else go through it. You provide an opportunity for others to think about what this world needs, ie self reflection, to stop the current trend of greed and selfish behaviour. I'm a 59 year old white male and you are teaching me things about myself. Take care of yourself and thank you for your videos. 😊
Oh this was so beautiful to read Rob, you gave me the chills, thank you so much for sharing. It is really so cool to hear how you are able to see all that through the shares. While I do it for the joy of creating, it is my highest hope that they can have a positive impact on those around. Thank you so much for your words 🙏🙏💜💜
Thank you for offering your vulnerability. It is important to share with us the way you feel, it's open up so much the intimacy and get all of us so much closer with you. I admire your authenticity. And definitely, I see you and feel you as a beautiful human being. Bernard and I love and really enjoy watching your vlogs. It is not only a question of having us exploring with you, it is so much more...you bring us deeply to connect with what it is. Sometime, our own expectations, or goals may not necessarily serve us. You might want to revisit some big questions: what do you really want? What is important for you? What your bestself will tell you right now? What impacts do you desire to create all around you.... and please do not hesitate to reach out to have a chat about what ever you want. Sending you love and beautiful energy from Oaxaca xoxoxo
Oh this is so lovely to read, thank you so much Christine. You always make me feel so supported and I love to hear your thoughts and comments and questions. It wonderful to receive your words and wisdom! Thanks so much for the offer and for making it a safe place to be vulnerable! ❤️
Don’t feel that way. You know you have accomplished so much already. As others have said you have accomplished way more then many of us looking at this video have accomplished. Thank you for showing others the beauty El Salvador offers. I’m Salvadorian and I appreciate you doing what you are doing. Get yourself up and keep going. People are willing to help you to get up and get you going don’t give up. Love the videos
Thanks for another great vlog Tammy, there good and bad days, more good than bad so keep your spirit high knowing that tomorrow everything will be much better than today. Ride safe and cant wait to watch #48
I'm behind on my watching, since I'm also on the road full time now. It is good to be honnest, and show the ups and downs. Yours is one of a very small number of channels that I watch every episode of. Not because you are the best motorcycle rider, but because you show more of what traveling is really like, than so many. I hope your channel and vlog take off, because it is refreshing to see someone just out doing it. It's not edited to make you look like some super hero rider, its just your life traveling, and there is an appeal there, at least to me.
Aw this is so sweet to hear, thanks so much, it’s always lovely to know what aspect people enjoy, thank you for sharing!! So cool you’re hit the road by now!
Carlos Freire - Brasil - Hi Tammy, I started following you yesterday and I'm so happy to see you're normal. There are anguish, doubts, moments of low spirits. Go deep girl, that's life, this roller coaster. I go through all of that too. I'm 68 years old, a bike just like yours, and many, many fears. Gradually we are overcoming. You yours and I mine. Let's follow. Good winds.
I say you are a huge success, you are doing things many us would never dare to. I purchased a GS my self with the goal to ride to Alaska from Virginia and eventually make my way down South. I can't see myself leaving the peace I get from living in the Shenandoah mountains and wonder around the world. I know I can do it yet and I know I want to do it yet, I have no courage to try I think of a million things that could go wrong, yet see where you find yourself now and what you have accomplished is a huge accomplishment, something many of us will never achieve.
Thank you so much! Such kind words and so cool you are living in the Shenendoahs, I lived in DC once upon a time and used to go out there, it’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing and big hugs!
I love your content in large part because you're not an expert rider and you're doing it anyway. (And you're a lot better off-road than you give yourself credit for 😉). Thanks for sharing!
You are the only motorcycle travel girl I know, I’m new to your channel. We all go through hard times, but yours are very challenging. The thing that struck me: that you feel just riding a motorcycle isn’t enough, and comparing yourself to other women in that space. Honey, I’ve never ridden a motorcycle. I’ve only once traveled alone in my car. Watching your life over the past few days has been so enriching and encouraging for me, as I try to grapple with several very difficult problems in my life, and dream of escaping them. Ultimately, I realize I’m not alone. Everyone is going through something hard. Even a motorcycle girl in El Salvador. What a contradiction in terms! “even a motorcycle girl in El Salvador!” Sweet lady: YOU are a MOTORCYCLE GIRL - IN EL SALVADOR. THAT is EPIC. Thank you for being my inspiration today.❤
Wow that is such a beautiful thing, thank you for sharing! Haha isn't it funny how our mind convinces us of such things! Yes, it's such a good reminder for us all. I'm so happy the vlog could be enriching. Thank you for the very kind perspective and sweet words, big hug! 🤗
I love your ability to be vulnerable and share. I always look forward to hearing about your journey. You are such a strong, empowered inspiring woman! Thank you for your hard work!
I love the vlog Tammy! The low days like that are hard to deal with when you're by yourself in a strange place. Sometimes it even lasts for a few days. It's never permanent and great moments are always just around the corner!
Hi, i just found this video on my recommendations, and i subscribed because i thought your content is great! Keep making more El Salvador videos and you will grow real quick... salvadoreans are supporting foreigners that create content in el salvador you will notice that pretty soon :) Never give up, before getting to the top we have to start from the bottom and face it challenges that might look like you can't no more. But is only blocking the greatness that is coming up for you, you are strong and you will make it!
That is so nice to hear Henry! It is so beautiful how much love there is for the country 🙌🏼 You are absolutely right, it's really good to read your words and be reminded, thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🏼
Hello, this is the first video of yours that I have seen and I am amazed at the quality that you create! I understand that you can feel some frustration when you compare yourself to others that you see and follow. But you are unique and you bring your own unique view to travelling solo on a motorcycle and you are inspiring to others who would love to have the courage to do what you do. Your images' bring to life your environment and immerse us in the moment. Don't worry about living those negative feeling that will pop up from time to time. Every traveler goes through it at some point but they do not last. I think that we need those feeling to balance out the amazing joy we feel at other times! We need the sadness to appreciate the Joy otherwise life would be bland. You are doing a very good job with this channel! Enjoy your travels! I am looking forward to watching your other videos!
💞💞💞thank you so much for your beautiful and kind words, I really appreciate them! You are so right and it's nice to have the reminders when I forget, thanks so much for sharing and for such a supportive message! Big hug!
Just started watching your videos and all I have to say is I’m living a dream through your journey. I find you to be courageous and inspirational. Trust the process and give your self some credit. It’s okay to have those days but it’s important to bounce back and become better everyday! You got this !!!
Today i started to watch your travels in my country El Salvador, i liked your authentic and natural expression. You don't feel too bad for the bad things, everything is step by step. You're welcome here in El Salvador!
Don't ever give up. I'll be on the road as well before the end of the year for the reasons you just mentioned...and more. I quit socializing years ago so I won't spread my negative vibes. All my thoughts have to do with the country I chose to live in. I'll be on the road soon to escape my thoughts and this country. I used to be the most positive and happy person. Always remember for what reason you chose to ride into an adventure....and appreciate every moment. ❤
Thank you so much. Truly nothing like the road to clear the mind 🙏 Thank so much for the encouragement and kind words and reminder! Perhaps see you out there!
Hey Dear, I’m from El Salvador. I totally got you! Maybe your journey is taking more time than you expected but you are awesome and you do not need to compare yourself, you are doing an amazing job and we want to be part of it (watching you jefe on yt). Keep going!
Ah your words really resonate, thanks so much, I'm grateful to be reminded that perhaps timing is not what I expected or outcome and that's ok! I really appreciate the sweet words and encouragement and so happy to hear you enjoy!!!
Hey Tammy, I just started following your blog, great deal of respect I got for you. You’re being to tough on your self, you’re driving a machine that weighs more than you. When you fall with the bike you get up and keep going, don’t compare your to others, you don’t how their beginning was.😊😊😊
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I so appreciate the words, you are right, I'm learning to be less tough on myself and I so appreciate your encouragement, thank you!
KEEP GOING SWEETHEART , YOU JUST FOCUS ON THE JOURNEY AND BE POSITIVE, WE ALL HAVE THOSE MOMENTS , BUT LIFE CONTINUES , HUGS AND THUMBS UP FROM BOSTON ( SALVADORAN HERE )
Your adventure is well received on my end. As a writer myself (5 published) I know how the ups and downs are mostly there for all who try the creative life---but know this: you are doing what you want to do, so that is a huge plus that grants you a high measure of satisfaction. That's more than most people can say. Best!
Wow thanks so much, it’s really cool to hear from the perspective of a creative, I appreciate you sharing that very much. You are right, I self soothe when my mind gets tied in a know about numbers by reminding myself that I really do love the process and that matters a lot. Thanks so much for your wonderful words!
Tammy - Love seeing the evolution of your journey and all the wonderful people you’re connecting with along the way …. keep going and look forward to meeting up again soon when that day comes!
You are doing FAR way more the what people wish they could do. I'm glad the algorithm gods put your video on my path. I'll be traveling from North America to Patagonia then onto Europe... I'm greatful for the heart-felt experience you share with us. Blessings and keep riding along .. ride safe ... I hope our paths cross on some dirt road some day
Thanks for sharing your lowpoints, I think everybody identifies with that. You are not a failure, I think you are a brave woman! And you are so sweet and beautiful that even street dogs love you! Thanks for visiting my country!
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable ❤ I’ve been traveling solo abroad and working full-time for the first time and it’s so challenging to be alone with my thoughts and juggling everything. Take care of yourself and you got this! ❤❤❤
💞💞 thank you so much, it's nice to remember it's a feeling so many of us doing what we do come across. Thank you for sharing your words and for the encouragement. Big hug to you!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl most certainly and if you in El Salvador still, I own an Airbnb there and you’re welcome to stay there for a couple of days to recharge… it’s in Nuevo Cuscatlan, 15 minute drive to El Tunco. Cheers
You are beautiful and brave! Never feel like a looser! You’ve done more than most of the people have! Even if you fall you learn from that! Look around you and see how blessed you are! Great job! ❤
Ah thank you Franklin! I appreciate the words and you are right, I ended up learning a lot from that fall and so appreciate those around like you who helped me back up with your amazing words. You are right, so many blessings!!
As a Salvadorean living in the states. I felt exactly the same a few years back.but then I realized we get only one life, don't forget to live and you will find your purpose.. blessings .be strong , be brave, be you.
You’re a good soul, you’re brave, kind, compassionate, smart and beautiful. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else for we’re all unique and have a different life experience. Focus on the positive side of life and just remember that being alive is a miracle. I wish I were there, there’s something special about Suchitoto. I Iike the way you vlog, keep the vids coming!
Thank you so much 💞 I so appreciate your kind words 🙏🏼 you are so right and I love to be reminded of these beautiful things and thank you for the encouragement!
Hi Tammy, just wanted to say thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities as well as your strengths, it was brave of you, and I think it brings a deeper connection with your audience. Long distance travel brings many highs and lows and you will bounce back, perhaps take a few days off to relax, reconnect, and think about what you hope to achieve in your journey and the direction of the channel, maybe even try something new, have you thought about doing some volunteering with animals whilst on your travels through workaway or Wwoof? . You are a unique individual who offers a very individual perspective so please don’t compare yourself to other vloggers, I for one love your channel, thank you for all the work you put into it, wishing you safe travels and peace! 💪🐶🏍️
Thank you so much Julie! You have been so supportive and I so appreciate it. I love your words and advise and ideas and such a nice idea to do something with animals! I love it, now it's on my mind and so we'll see if some opportunities arise. Thank you for the sweet words and all the encouragement!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl nunca has pensado en estar un tiempo corto en un país descansar distraerte porque realmente como tú viajas ha de ser cansado y también la soledad desgasta porque Dios no los hizo para estar asolas
Saludos virtjales.desde Pennsylvania.primer video que veo,en estos episodios de Usted. Gracias por compartir,sus documentales en cada parte del planeta dónde viaja.para traer lindos concimientos de cada poblacion en el planeta..😍😍😍😍🤚📹📸🏍️🏍️
Love your documentary , and how you capture little details , welcome ti ES , i just found your channel and i hope you do a lot of videos in ES , my birth place now living in the US since the 80s but i go there every year , keep those videos coming, give you a like and will post it in twitter
At the star of any road there are two choices. Get to the destiny, or truly love the ride to it. the key to both of them is in our heart and we decide. In my humble opinion you are doing such a great job, the comparison with other people it is normal, but every soul is unique and yours is just Beautiful, very inspiring. 💐
Oooooo I LOVE that!!!! I gotta remember that one! Uff your words are resonating, thank you so much for sharing your perspective, appreciate it a lot. Thank you!!
Beautiful lake and central plaza, a new doggy friend, a fruit market must be great for you. You carry a lot of baggage on your bike including us, and give up a lot for your audience, don’t think for a second we don’t appreciate it and you 😊♥️👍🏽🏍
It is the first time I see a video of yours, and in my humble opinion, I think that in order to have more followers you must interact with the people in your videos, the world likes to know what they think, what they do and what people from other countries feel ,and regions..It's risky for a young woman like you, but the truth is, that's what your colleagues do. You should talk to your female colleagues and get more advice. Take care, I wish you the best.
That's a great idea! I get shy to film when interacting with others so I have yet to show much of that but I think you're right, it would be a very nice part. Thank you for your words!
As many have said, we all experience feelings of hopelessness even when things are going "well". Part of it is the system of social media and "likes" can keep us in a dopamine spiral if we are looking outside for validation. We get likes we feel good, we publish more content hoping for more likes and some content does well and some doesn't. As someone who has been living outside the U.S. for 2 years, it's sort of a constant roller coaster. Sometimes it's the best thing ever and sometimes I'm homesick. I'm working from home a lot, I speak Spanish but I'm not fluent....I don't have constant validation from my coworkers or family. I have great friends but it's not the same sense of closeness. What you are doing is phenomenal as a woman, as an American, who has been bombarded with the idea of Mexico and Central America being unsafe for eons. It sets a precedent for others. In terms of building your channel, this is evergreen content. Meaning it will still be incredibly valuable for years to come. So it's not all for this moment. I think you should capitalize more on that you are a woman biking and camping alone. In your titles and for SEO. Be proud of what you are accomplishing. You are forever changed and you are showing the world what is possible.
Thank you so much for these words 🙏🏼 they are so beautiful to read and to hear your share and receive the encouragement (and tips!). I resonated so much with your words, thank you for taking the time to write!
Stay strong and clear those negative feelings from your head., you are brave traveling on a bike by yourself and in a different country and different language., you are strong and all of that will come to pass and you’ll laugh later on about these unhappy moments. Best wishes to you from NJ
Hi there. Dont feel bad you are doing a wonderful job and don't compare yourself to other, that is the worst thing we can do. Keep forward and enjoy what you do

Sister , why are feeling that you are a failure? No, you are not. You are a champion. You have done more that millions of us.
Oh thank you so much for the words!! I appreciate them! 🙏🏼💜
Amiga I just subscribed to your channel, I’m originally from El Salvador but have 2:53 lived in Southern California since 1979, all I can simply tell you is stop worrying about what other you tube travelers are doing, create your own road, your own destination, enjoy the scenery the people the food,ENJOY THE MOMENTS , who cares of what other people are doing. Don’t be a follower, You lead your own life, road and destination!!!!!❤
Ahhh I love it!!!! Thank you so much! This is all so true and I’m taking your words to heart. Very encouraging, thanks so much!
🙏🙏🙏🙏 🏍️
No hablo ingles pero tu video es hermoso sigue adelante eres maravillosa y gracias por visitar El salvador aca te queremos mucho 😊
Ah muchas gracias! Que bonito que veas los videos, espero que los subtítulos ayuda. Gracias por las palabras!
Hola hermosa, just wanted to share with you that, right now there is a massive energy shift, and a solar eclipse + new moon a couple of days ago and Mercury is in retrograde (tech issues, miscommunication, etc), what you are feeling is totally normal, ride the wave, it will settle down soon. It's bringing up shitty stuff for me also. Girl, I admire you're strength and you inspire me. Was just think of what should I do next and watching your videos makes me what to explore Mexico. I know it's a lot of work, time and energy. Rest if you need too, listen to your body. Sending a wave 🌊of soothing energy🙌
Aw thank you so much, this was relieving to read, ride the wave, good reminder, thank you! Thanks so much for your kind and sweet words and so cool to hear you may explore Mexico! Thanks for all the good vibes 💜💜
"Comparison is the thief of joy" You are doing your own thing and are unique in your own way, your content is phenomenal and its a shame the algorithm has not picked up on it yet, That doesnt mean your less of a person or creator! I have seen amazing creators struggle for years to get the viewership they deserve and suddenly one video just pops off and its all uphill from there! The only thing that matters is that you push through and you dont give up, failing is just learning how to succeed. You dont truly fail until you give up! I think your content is definitely worthy of 1M+ subs and you do an excellent job capturing it just stay consistent and your time will come!
Sincerely,
a fan from Canada!
Ahhh it truly is!!! Aw thank you so much, that is so nice to hear, such an encouraging reminder, helpful to hear, I really appreciate it. You are so right about failing, I am going to reframe it in my mind that way, thank you!! Wow that’s such a compliment, thank you! Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your words and encouragement!
Hi, i'm from Guatemala.
First, thanks for visit my country and show all the amazing people, places and views.
Let me tell something about you.
You're an a amazing woman for do this,
Ride your bike, travel a lot of miles.
Keep going!!!!!!
Keep going show the countries, cities. Because this is not for everyone, and you do it.
God bless you and protect your way,
You're beautiful, stronger, and amazing.
Please keep going!
God blees you.
XO
Aw THANK YOU SO much!!! Your words are such a gift!!! I really appreciate them, the encouragement means a lot!!
Hi Tammy! I completely understand how you felt! I think you are incredibly strong doing what you are doing! Travelling all the time tough and you are doing it on your own! TH-cam is incredibly tough too and despite good videos it's difficult to get exposure. You are certainly not a loser and never compare yourself to other people! If you want to play that game then remember you are doing more than millions of people! 😀😀 Whether you keep going or not is your decision but know that we think you are great and support you! 🥰 Ride safe!
I'm from El Salvador and I just watched the last two videos. But I need a feedback to understand for real about her frustrating. What's wrong with her?
Aw thank you so much Jackie!! I so appreciate the encouragement and words and especially because I know you understand the game and how it came be. Thanks for the support and taking the time to share, it is an honor to be out here doing this with you guys as community!! Big hugs!
The reason I like your blog is because it is different , it's not so much about the riding, that is simply your mode of transportation, for me it is ENTIRELY about your insights into your feelings and mind set. I have nothing but admiration for who you are as a human, I do not compare you to anyone because you totally blow my mind with what you are doing, the experiences you have, how people and animals react to you but mostly how open hearted and positive you are. You are living an incredible life! It can be hard at times but you will get through it. You are not only a favorite for me, I end up thinking about what you share throughout the week, you are truly inspiring and I could care less how much off road riding you do, you are a smart individual and you make the choices you make for your own reasons. Be well. If you decide to continue I will be happy, but if you decide to not continue I trust it will be the right decision, it's easy to say "don't give up" but sometimes you just need to re-prioritize what is important in your life and if the blogging is not joyful or what you had hoped for, then there is no shame in stopping IMHO.
Oh wow your words are so powerful to receive, thank you so much Yolanda 🙏💜💜💜It is really cool to hear what you take away from the vlog and it makes me really happy to know. Thank you so much for such sweet words and for the encouragement, as well as the understanding. Even though my mind can fall into the trap of getting down on numbers, I do come back to remembering that I really like the creating process and learning to get better and better. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your really generous and kind words, they are really impactful and mean a lot. Thank you!! 💞🤗
YOU ARE: Young, beautiful, brave, adventurous, strong, POWERFUL, and inspirational. AN AMAZING WOMAN... sending ❤️ ❤❤. May you travels be safe and fun. BLESSINGS.
Thank you Jackie!!! What a sweet beautiful message to receive!! 💞💞💜💜
Thank you for your honest sharing. Self reflection is healthy. We all have those moments. Don’t give up. Know I’m in your corner. Every Sunday morning I look forward to your vlog.
Hope my small donation helps. Do take care.
Oh that is so nice to hear, thanks so much for sharing!! And thank you dearly for the contribution! 🙏🙏🙏
Don’t doubt yourself, you are great. Don’t ever think those other bloggers never have this feeling you’re having now, if they don’t publish that it doesn’t mean they don’t have it.
Take your rest once in a while, it would be nice too for us to see how you spend time getting around with locals. We just were 3 months in Oaxaca and everybody was exited to see us get acquainted with the locals, their stories…
Go go girl you’re doing great ❤
You are so right! Thank you for the sweet words and ideas, that would be great! I appreciate the encouragement!
My heart goes out to you Tammy..The hard work you must put in to get about and then to have to document it for us on YT aswell..physically and mentally.i cant explain why your channel isn't so much more popular and growing a lot more as it deserves..I wish I knew the secret to get your cool vlogs to as many views as you need to keep you going..As always Stay Safe and keep Strong..Your doing a great job and hope all the hard work pays off soon..🙏✌️
Aw thank you so much for the understanding and for putting it into words. I so appreciate the encouragement and I enjoy reading your comments every week, they really encourage me, thanks so much for taking the time to write them, they really mean a lot. Thank you!!
The reason is because she doesn't upload enough. One of the keys to growing a channel is uploading more frequently (multiple times per week) with shorter duration videos.
Just watched your recent Movie! First, another great production! Great storyline and composition. You are really the master of taking great B Roll and sprinkling it throughout your videos! So many different angles. Really, great job with that as usual!
Next, I really appreciate your authenticity! I follow quite a few content creators (not just Motovloggers), and often there is so much “clickbait” and self-promotion. Kinda turns me off. But you have an authentic, natural, style sharing your stories with the camera.
Lastly, with regard to your struggles, I’d recommend patience. Good things take time. As a “TH-camr” myself, I also get disappointed that things aren’t progressing as fast as I would like. But I also have so much to learn.
Take care and hang in there. Look forward to your next story!
Thank you so much Duncan!! I so appreciate your detailed words and it’s so awesome to hear the things that you are enjoying, thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the recommendation and I think you are exactly right, i know you get it and it’s helpful to hear from a fellow creator. I really love the process of learning and after I trip and fall thinking I’m not doing well, I remember that there’s a lot to learn and I’ll continue to get better and that excites me. Thanks so much for your words!
Almost 6k views! Congrats! Your hard work is rewarded! Look forward to what is next for you!
I remember driving back from a solo trip when I saw a rider, he looked so nice in his motorcycle, I did get closer and it was a girl riding a motorcycle, she looked so beautiful with her bike. That sole act inspired me to get a motorcycle, she was my inspiration to start riding. It's been like 5 years since then and I still have that moment in my life. So how many people do you think you have inspired and impacted with your journey? So you are a winner, not everybody has the corauge to follow their dreams as you are doing it. That makes you a champion and a inspiration for others. So keep up with your great work, things will be better!
WOW that is SO cool to hear. Thank you so much for sharing! Your words really have an impact 💜 thanks so much 🙏🏼
Comparison is a dream killer. I love your vlogs! They really helped me as we were crossing through Mexico in our van and I was nervous. Each night I watched one and I reminded myself that people are good and adventure is scary. Also, it's really hard to film and edit and do it all but you can do it:)
Ah it sure is, isn’t it!!! Aw thanks so much, that’s so nice to hear! I am SO happy to hear it was helpful!!! That is so cool and so good to remember. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Hi! Searching about El Salvador I discover your channel. And the first thought that came to my mind was "what a brave woman." You are amazing and your channel is so inspiring. Keep it up with the great job!
That’s so sweet, thank you and so cool to hear how you found the channel! So happy to hear you like it! Thanks for the encouragement!
Don't give up, Tammy! We always look forward to Sundays and your new vlogs! You actually inspired us to plan our own motorcycle trip to Mexico and Latin America! Keep moving forward. - one day at a time! You will be fine!
Urszula and Peter
Aw thank you so much you two!!! You are monthly contributors! Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support and your words. That is too cool to know you are planning your trip to MX, LA. Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words!
I'm from El Salvador, wish I was there on that day to meet you and share a moment of Joy with you to make you feel better.. Sometimes being alone makes us feel down for some reason but you are such a beautiful and strong woman you deserve the best.
💞 thank you for the beautiful and sweet words! I love that - share a moment of joy! That's what it's all about! Thank you!
We know the feeling very well too. It's tough trying to do all of this while traveling. Reach out anytime you need to chat! We've gone back and forth about quitting a few times in the past few months, but we're trying to soldier on.
It's comforting to remember it's not just me and that you guys get it! Thanks so much for the support and likewise I'm hear for you as well! Big hug!
Tammy, we all share this kind of moment at some point of our lives, regardless what we do. Easier to say "never compare ourselves with others" than done, but have a note to yourself "why" you started this journey will keep you going on a rainy day. Personally, I do think it's important to compare, to an extend - mostly with ourselves, and sometimes with others. Because without any comparison, how do we know who we are, where we are, and how far we have come. Find your own why to keep yourself focus. Thanks for sharing your stories, as always. Hope to meet you on the road one day. :)
I love this, thanks so much Mandy!! Appreciate the words and inspo and I look forward to meeting you sometime!!! Adventures await us!
Much love to you, Tammy!! 🤍
Your vlogs are awesome and so are you!! 🙌🏼
Please keep them coming!! 😊
Thank you so much Magnus!! I so appreciate your support and your encouragement!! Means a lot! THank you!
Don't be sad, enjoy the journey of your life that few have the courage to make it. Thank you for visiting El Salvador, I hope you have a great time.
Thanks so much!
do not feel bad because the success of your vlog has not yet arrived but we can say that all your naturalness is an excellent way to show your authenticity I congratulate you for showing your content👍and for visiting this beautiful country El Salvador I leave you my like I hope to see more of you in this country😊🫶🏻
Thank you so much Ashley! It's so nice to receive your sweet words and cheers. I feel so welcomed in El Salvador!
Hola, mujer de la sonrisa alegre, lo más maravilloso de tu camino, es que pudiste cruzar la frontera del miedo a uno mismo, a no ser suficiente, a ser casi nada, casi nadie. Miro tu rostro y encuentro paz, esa serenidad que te brinda recorrer tu propio corazón sin temor a perderte, no encontrarte o quizá jamás volver. Eres extraordinaria, toma cada curva de este planeta inclinándote siempre a las cosas que te hagan feliz, cuídate mucho y recibe un abrazo cálido de un mexicano al que le has mostrado lo bello que es vivir a orillas del destino.
Wow, que increíble tus palabras 🙌🏼🙏🏼 Muchísimas gracias para compartir, mi español no es suficiente para expresar cuantas me tocan pero son muy bonito para leer y me afecta mucho y aprecio mucho!! Un abrazote 💞🤗🙏🏼🙌🏼
We love your vlog!!! We wait with anticipation for each one. Your site was originally shared with me by a friend in Mexico City. We live in Texas.
We wish you safety in your journeys and pray for you each day! 🙏
Stay strong and positive!!! You are living our dreams! 🏍️
Oh that is so nice to hear! Thanks so much for sharing! I am so happy to hear it and so appreciate the encouragement, thank you!!
I just came across your TH-cam channel the other day. I think you are very brave and lucky to be travelling like you do. My life is so boring that I live my life through watching videos like yours about travelling. Please don't get down you could be like me watching videos at home not really experiencing like for real like you are. Thank you Mike
That's cool to hear! Thank you for the sweet words 💞 I'm really happy to hear you enjoy the videos, thanks for sharing, and I send you a big hug! 🤗
Very sincere my friend... I suggest not riding off road for a while. You have the guts because you have the freedom of feeling & you deserve & have been riding a lot & giving us such nice time. Your voice is magic & captivate us. I 'hope you can overcome loneliness & fears. You want to go riding and have more adventure, but you are not prepared. So, go easy, do not need to jump over rivers & cliffs. A big hug dear friend, keep on.
Aw thanks so much for the kind words 🙏🏼💜
Smooth sailing is always appreciated and more so after pushing through a few storms right…?
look ahead and keep doing what you’re doing.
thanks for sharing
😄🇳🇴
Oh my goodness, so well said! I love that!! And truly, I can feel it, once the storm passes, I can see how much I appreciate having gone through! Thank you so much!
I’m always looking forward to your vlog, it’s special, please keep going.🤗
Oh that’s so nice to hear! Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re crushing. Thank you for sharing that hard couple of days. In that spirit I’ll share that your beautiful treatment of all those pups you find along the way has made me even more aware of ow I treat my pup. He’s gotten many many more sweet pets and head rubs. Just following your lead. ❤🐶
A thought on comparison: you’re approach is unique. Each of us bring an expertise and gifts into the world. I’ve been lifted and inspired by yours. It isn’t gas money, it isn’t greater followership, it isn’t sponsorship, but I hope knowing you’re lifting us lifts you.
Also, imma send a tank as soon as I figure out how.
Ahh that’s so cute and so sweet to hear Stephen!! Oh WOW, that means a lot, so beautiful to read your words, thank you so much. And I gotta tell you, you’re so right, it truly is your words and the connection I feel to your expression that truly lifts me and is most impactful, way greater than any count or cash. When I find I have fallen somehow I am reminded of where the true sweetness resides, and it is really in the opportunity to have these exchanges. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Just discovered your cute channel, you seem like a nice person, based on the big name advertisers paired with your content... the algorithm values you highly, I think interest in traveler vlogs is 50% about travel & 50% about personal connection on an emotional level, like shared experience & feelings, just human like the rest of us. which requires vulnerability & honesty, like this video
aw thank you! So cool to hear your perspective, so interesting and great to hear. Thank you for the share and your sweet words!
Hey Tammy, it takes 3-4 years to get a decent following, I’ve only got 500subs but I keep telling myself who am I doing this for. Your paying for the whole trip, it’s your trip, it’s your memories. Out of the tens of thousands of people who do this there are literally only a handful making any income from it. The worst thing you can do is compare with others we are all unique and all bring a different style, grow your channel organically and a loyal following will come. I start my RTW from LA in May, I’ll buy ya a coffee and lunch if we ever pass on the road. Big smiles. Monty.
Thank you so much Monty!!! I so appreciate the words and perspective and so exciting you are starting your trip now!! Perhaps we will cross paths!
Luckily I found your channel today. From El Salvador, please don’t give up. I going to send my little contribution for gas’s stuff. Stay visiting El Salvador for a few time and you will see what is coming.😊
That's so nice to hear, thank you so much for the encouragement!!! thank you so much for the contribution!
What you have done/are doing is something that will stay with you and shape you for the rest of your life. That can only be described as success. Just doing the traveling is immensely challenging (I have done it so I understand completely). And then doing the vlog on top of that adds a whole another level of complexity. So good on you. Please get satisfaction that the people that do see your vlog undoubtedly enjoy it (as I do) and you are creating value for those people. I wish you the best in your adventure!
Thank you so much, Dave. Your words really hit and I appreciate them so much. Thanks for sharing with me and that is very encouraging, I'm so glad to hear it!!
Love this video. Just remember hard work pays off in the end keep up the
Great work.
That's very true!! Thank you!
Do not give up things change from one day to another. The adventures are worth more than anything else in life. We all have our low moments in life. My best wishes!
That is all so true 🙌🏼 thanks so much David!
This is tender and authentic Tammy... sending big hugs to hopefully lift your spirit if just a little bit... wish I could just be there and ride along with you for a spell...
Aw thank you so much Gee, your words and virtual hug really does lift me, thank you!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Tammy you ARE good enough! I’ve just started watching your vlogs they are very good ! I don’t know what’s wrong with TH-cam algorithms but this is the first time I’ve seen you I also bike in Mexico and I know it’s extremely hard to do everything you’re doing don’t give up girl you’ve got something golden here.
Thank you Harly!!! That's so nice to hear! And very cool you also ride in Mexico! I appreciate you words, thank you for the encouragement! 💜🙏🏼
I know you have to have these moments and you have to work through them yourself, but please take on board what you are doing is worthy. If more people took time to pilgrimage and find their true spiritual self the world would be better. The next best thing to that is watching someone else go through it. You provide an opportunity for others to think about what this world needs, ie self reflection, to stop the current trend of greed and selfish behaviour. I'm a 59 year old white male and you are teaching me things about myself. Take care of yourself and thank you for your videos. 😊
Oh this was so beautiful to read Rob, you gave me the chills, thank you so much for sharing. It is really so cool to hear how you are able to see all that through the shares. While I do it for the joy of creating, it is my highest hope that they can have a positive impact on those around. Thank you so much for your words 🙏🙏💜💜
Thank you for offering your vulnerability. It is important to share with us the way you feel, it's open up so much the intimacy and get all of us so much closer with you. I admire your authenticity. And definitely, I see you and feel you as a beautiful human being. Bernard and I love and really enjoy watching your vlogs. It is not only a question of having us exploring with you, it is so much more...you bring us deeply to connect with what it is. Sometime, our own expectations, or goals may not necessarily serve us. You might want to revisit some big questions: what do you really want? What is important for you? What your bestself will tell you right now? What impacts do you desire to create all around you.... and please do not hesitate to reach out to have a chat about what ever you want. Sending you love and beautiful energy from Oaxaca xoxoxo
Oh this is so lovely to read, thank you so much Christine. You always make me feel so supported and I love to hear your thoughts and comments and questions. It wonderful to receive your words and wisdom! Thanks so much for the offer and for making it a safe place to be vulnerable! ❤️
Hope you have had a good time in El Salvador. Don’t give up for the lows of the life, life has ups and downs. Keep following your dreams
You are so right, thank you very much for the encouragement!
Don’t feel that way. You know you have accomplished so much already. As others have said you have accomplished way more then many of us looking at this video have accomplished. Thank you for showing others the beauty El Salvador offers. I’m Salvadorian and I appreciate you doing what you are doing. Get yourself up and keep going. People are willing to help you to get up and get you going don’t give up. Love the videos
Thank you so much, you are very right, I so appreciate the kind and encouraging words!! 🙏🏼💜
And it’s always so nice to hear that you are enjoying the videos!
Thanks for another great vlog Tammy, there good and bad days, more good than bad so keep your spirit high knowing that tomorrow everything will be much better than today. Ride safe and cant wait to watch #48
Beautifully said! Thank you so much for the words and for joining me on this journey!
I'm behind on my watching, since I'm also on the road full time now. It is good to be honnest, and show the ups and downs. Yours is one of a very small number of channels that I watch every episode of. Not because you are the best motorcycle rider, but because you show more of what traveling is really like, than so many. I hope your channel and vlog take off, because it is refreshing to see someone just out doing it. It's not edited to make you look like some super hero rider, its just your life traveling, and there is an appeal there, at least to me.
Aw this is so sweet to hear, thanks so much, it’s always lovely to know what aspect people enjoy, thank you for sharing!! So cool you’re hit the road by now!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl - Thanks. In Mexico now, and loving it. It's a fantastic place and the people have already made such an impression on me.
Carlos Freire - Brasil -
Hi Tammy, I started following you yesterday and I'm so happy to see you're normal. There are anguish, doubts, moments of low spirits. Go deep girl, that's life, this roller coaster. I go through all of that too. I'm 68 years old, a bike just like yours, and many, many fears. Gradually we are overcoming. You yours and I mine. Let's follow. Good winds.
I loved reading this, thanks so much for sharing and for coming along on the journey! So love know of the shared experience, thank you!
I say you are a huge success, you are doing things many us would never dare to. I purchased a GS my self with the goal to ride to Alaska from Virginia and eventually make my way down South. I can't see myself leaving the peace I get from living in the Shenandoah mountains and wonder around the world. I know I can do it yet and I know I want to do it yet, I have no courage to try I think of a million things that could go wrong, yet see where you find yourself now and what you have accomplished is a huge accomplishment, something many of us will never achieve.
Thank you so much! Such kind words and so cool you are living in the Shenendoahs, I lived in DC once upon a time and used to go out there, it’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing and big hugs!
I love your content in large part because you're not an expert rider and you're doing it anyway. (And you're a lot better off-road than you give yourself credit for 😉). Thanks for sharing!
Aw thanks so much! That’s very cool to hear, thank you for sharing! Haha perhaps it is the case!
You are the only motorcycle travel girl I know, I’m new to your channel. We all go through hard times, but yours are very challenging. The thing that struck me: that you feel just riding a motorcycle isn’t enough, and comparing yourself to other women in that space. Honey, I’ve never ridden a motorcycle. I’ve only once traveled alone in my car. Watching your life over the past few days has been so enriching and encouraging for me, as I try to grapple with several very difficult problems in my life, and dream of escaping them. Ultimately, I realize I’m not alone. Everyone is going through something hard. Even a motorcycle girl in El Salvador. What a contradiction in terms! “even a motorcycle girl in El Salvador!” Sweet lady: YOU are a MOTORCYCLE GIRL - IN EL SALVADOR. THAT is EPIC. Thank you for being my inspiration today.❤
Wow that is such a beautiful thing, thank you for sharing! Haha isn't it funny how our mind convinces us of such things! Yes, it's such a good reminder for us all. I'm so happy the vlog could be enriching. Thank you for the very kind perspective and sweet words, big hug! 🤗
I love your ability to be vulnerable and share. I always look forward to hearing about your journey. You are such a strong, empowered inspiring woman! Thank you for your hard work!
Aw thank you so much, sometimes it is quite scary and I so appreciate the support and encouragement!!!
I love the vlog Tammy! The low days like that are hard to deal with when you're by yourself in a strange place. Sometimes it even lasts for a few days. It's never permanent and great moments are always just around the corner!
Aw this is so nice to read and so well said! It’s so true, and I know you get it, thanks so much for sharing Gareth!!
You can do this!! Keep at it girl, I know how you feel. Following your adventure from Minnesota!
Thank you so much! Both for the encouragement and for joining me!
Hi, i just found this video on my recommendations, and i subscribed because i thought your content is great!
Keep making more El Salvador videos and you will grow real quick... salvadoreans are supporting foreigners that create content in el salvador you will notice that pretty soon :)
Never give up, before getting to the top we have to start from the bottom and face it challenges that might look like you can't no more. But is only blocking the greatness that is coming up for you, you are strong and you will make it!
That is so nice to hear Henry! It is so beautiful how much love there is for the country 🙌🏼 You are absolutely right, it's really good to read your words and be reminded, thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🏼
Hello, this is the first video of yours that I have seen and I am amazed at the quality that you create! I understand that you can feel some frustration when you compare yourself to others that you see and follow. But you are unique and you bring your own unique view to travelling solo on a motorcycle and you are inspiring to others who would love to have the courage to do what you do. Your images' bring to life your environment and immerse us in the moment.
Don't worry about living those negative feeling that will pop up from time to time. Every traveler goes through it at some point but they do not last. I think that we need those feeling to balance out the amazing joy we feel at other times! We need the sadness to appreciate the Joy otherwise life would be bland.
You are doing a very good job with this channel! Enjoy your travels!
I am looking forward to watching your other videos!
💞💞💞thank you so much for your beautiful and kind words, I really appreciate them! You are so right and it's nice to have the reminders when I forget, thanks so much for sharing and for such a supportive message! Big hug!
Just started watching your videos and all I have to say is I’m living a dream through your journey. I find you to be courageous and inspirational. Trust the process and give your self some credit. It’s okay to have those days but it’s important to bounce back and become better everyday! You got this !!!
Aw thank you so much 💜 These are such kind words 🙏🏼 You are right, trust the process, I love to be reminded. Thanks so much for the encouragement!!
Today i started to watch your travels in my country El Salvador, i liked your authentic and natural expression. You don't feel too bad for the bad things, everything is step by step. You're welcome here in El Salvador!
Thanks so much, so happy to have you along, and I love what you said, step by step, it’s always a helpful reminder for me!
Don't ever give up. I'll be on the road as well before the end of the year for the reasons you just mentioned...and more. I quit socializing years ago so I won't spread my negative vibes. All my thoughts have to do with the country I chose to live in. I'll be on the road soon to escape my thoughts and this country. I used to be the most positive and happy person.
Always remember for what reason you chose to ride into an adventure....and appreciate every moment. ❤
Thank you so much. Truly nothing like the road to clear the mind 🙏 Thank so much for the encouragement and kind words and reminder! Perhaps see you out there!
Hey Dear, I’m from El Salvador. I totally got you! Maybe your journey is taking more time than you expected but you are awesome and you do not need to compare yourself, you are doing an amazing job and we want to be part of it (watching you jefe on yt). Keep going!
Ah your words really resonate, thanks so much, I'm grateful to be reminded that perhaps timing is not what I expected or outcome and that's ok! I really appreciate the sweet words and encouragement and so happy to hear you enjoy!!!
Hey Tammy, I just started following your blog, great deal of respect I got for you.
You’re being to tough on your self, you’re driving a machine that weighs more than you.
When you fall with the bike you get up and keep going, don’t compare your to others, you don’t how their beginning was.😊😊😊
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I so appreciate the words, you are right, I'm learning to be less tough on myself and I so appreciate your encouragement, thank you!
KEEP GOING SWEETHEART , YOU JUST FOCUS ON THE JOURNEY AND BE POSITIVE, WE ALL HAVE THOSE MOMENTS , BUT LIFE CONTINUES , HUGS AND THUMBS UP FROM BOSTON ( SALVADORAN HERE )
Thank you Casper! I so appreciate your wonderful words and encouragement!! Saludos a Boston!
Your adventure is well received on my end. As a writer myself (5 published) I know how the ups and downs are mostly there for all who try the creative life---but know this: you are doing what you want to do, so that is a huge plus that grants you a high measure of satisfaction. That's more than most people can say. Best!
Wow thanks so much, it’s really cool to hear from the perspective of a creative, I appreciate you sharing that very much. You are right, I self soothe when my mind gets tied in a know about numbers by reminding myself that I really do love the process and that matters a lot. Thanks so much for your wonderful words!
Tammy - Love seeing the evolution of your journey and all the wonderful people you’re connecting with along the way …. keep going and look forward to meeting up again soon when that day comes!
Thank you Meehir!! So appreciate the words and as always would love to see you!
Just showed up on my feed your channel,left El Salvador in 89’, thank you for visiting my small brand new country
That's cool to know! Oh it's such a wonderful place and am grateful to be received here!
You are a strong woman Tammy, thanks for your Vlogs!
Keep on keeping on...
Thank YOU so much! I appreciate the encouragement!
You are doing FAR way more the what people wish they could do. I'm glad the algorithm gods put your video on my path. I'll be traveling from North America to Patagonia then onto Europe... I'm greatful for the heart-felt experience you share with us.
Blessings and keep riding along .. ride safe ... I hope our paths cross on some dirt road some day
That’s so cool to hear! Perhaps see you out there!! Enjoy the trails!!
I think you are really brave. A woman traveling in El Salvador...I went by bus in the 70s and there were soldiers everywhere.
Aw thank you Steve. That is too cool you were there then!
Thank you for the great videos of ES, keep them coming! and be encouraged you are touching many who wish they could be in your place!
Thanks so much! I am happy to hear you enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your lowpoints, I think everybody identifies with that. You are not a failure, I think you are a brave woman! And you are so sweet and beautiful that even street dogs love you! Thanks for visiting my country!
Aw this is so sweet to read, thank you! It is nice to hear, you’ve made it a safe place to share thank you 🤗🤗
Thanks for sharing. It ain’t easy being human!
Haha well said!!
Much love and strength to you in your journey. Hello from Guatemala.
Hii!! Thanks so much, I appreciate it! Big hugs to you, hope all is well!
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable ❤ I’ve been traveling solo abroad and working full-time for the first time and it’s so challenging to be alone with my thoughts and juggling everything. Take care of yourself and you got this! ❤❤❤
💞💞 thank you so much, it's nice to remember it's a feeling so many of us doing what we do come across. Thank you for sharing your words and for the encouragement. Big hug to you!
Thanks!
Glad you shared and let out those emotions- stay strong queen 👍🏽👊🏽
Sending love and appreciation +++ tons of positive energy
Thanks so much JC!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl most certainly and if you in El Salvador still, I own an Airbnb there and you’re welcome to stay there for a couple of days to recharge… it’s in Nuevo Cuscatlan, 15 minute drive to El Tunco.
Cheers
Gracias por visitar nuestro país. I think your blogs are great! This is my first time watching them. I will suscribe to your channel today
A gracias a usted!! That's so nice to hear, thank you!
You are beautiful and brave! Never feel like a looser! You’ve done more than most of the people have! Even if you fall you learn from that! Look around you and see how blessed you are! Great job! ❤
Ah thank you Franklin! I appreciate the words and you are right, I ended up learning a lot from that fall and so appreciate those around like you who helped me back up with your amazing words. You are right, so many blessings!!
As a Salvadorean living in the states. I felt exactly the same a few years back.but then I realized we get only one life, don't forget to live and you will find your purpose.. blessings .be strong , be brave, be you.
Thank you so much for the beautiful words!
Sorry to hear that you wake up feeling down that day!!!keep going, You are making a great Journey, Big Hug!!!
Aw thank you Vladimir! And thank you for being such a consistent support and following along! It makes it so fun to have you here!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Thank you for sharing and please keep vloging, your journey its the coolest!
Wow,.just found you here on YT. Love your content right off, keep it up, you're awesome! Thoughts and feelings we all have when we travel
Thank you! That’s so cool to hear! And also comforting to hear how universal it is 🙏🏼
You’re a good soul, you’re brave, kind, compassionate, smart and beautiful. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else for we’re all unique and have a different life experience. Focus on the positive side of life and just remember that being alive is a miracle.
I wish I were there, there’s something special about Suchitoto. I Iike the way you vlog, keep the vids coming!
Thank you so much 💞 I so appreciate your kind words 🙏🏼 you are so right and I love to be reminded of these beautiful things and thank you for the encouragement!
Hi Tammy, just wanted to say thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities as well as your strengths, it was brave of you, and I think it brings a deeper connection with your audience. Long distance travel brings many highs and lows and you will bounce back, perhaps take a few days off to relax, reconnect, and think about what you hope to achieve in your journey and the direction of the channel, maybe even try something new, have you thought about doing some volunteering with animals whilst on your travels through workaway or Wwoof? .
You are a unique individual who offers a very individual perspective so please don’t compare yourself to other vloggers, I for one love your channel, thank you for all the work you put into it, wishing you safe travels and peace! 💪🐶🏍️
Thank you so much Julie! You have been so supportive and I so appreciate it. I love your words and advise and ideas and such a nice idea to do something with animals! I love it, now it's on my mind and so we'll see if some opportunities arise. Thank you for the sweet words and all the encouragement!
Your videos are inspirational. I've been looking at doing a similar trip because of you! keep rocking it!
Aw thank you for your generosity Alex!!
Amiga, don't give up! The world would be a darker place without your vlog. It is the highlight of my Sunday. :)
Aw that’s so cute to hear! Thanks so much! 💜
Animo
No dejes de hacer lo que realmente amas
Por que nosotros amamos lo que tú haces ❤
Eso es una cosa lo más chido! Gracias!! 💜💜💜💜
@@MindBodyMotoGirl nunca has pensado en estar un tiempo corto en un país descansar distraerte porque realmente como tú viajas ha de ser cansado y también la soledad desgasta porque Dios no los hizo para estar asolas
Very good vídeo girl. Nice 👍 trips wow. Am from Houston. Take care. We appreciate your shoul El Salvador 🇸🇻 country.

Love your documentary , and how you capture little details , welcome ti ES , i just found your channel and i hope you do a lot of videos in ES , my birth place now living in the US since the 80s but i go there every year , keep those videos coming, give you a like and will post it in twitter
Thank you so much! So beautiful you continue to visit every year! And thank you for the share!
You are doing something that a lot of us wish we could do!! Enjoy your life, and don't compare yourself to others.
Thank you so much Dennis! grateful for the support! 🙏🏼
At the star of any road there are two choices. Get to the destiny, or truly love the ride to it. the key to both of them is in our heart and we decide. In my humble opinion you are doing such a great job, the comparison with other people it is normal, but every soul is unique and yours is just Beautiful, very inspiring. 💐
Oooooo I LOVE that!!!! I gotta remember that one! Uff your words are resonating, thank you so much for sharing your perspective, appreciate it a lot. Thank you!!
Mucho amor de un colombiano que te admira. Fuerza y tira pa'lante.
Saludos a Colombia! Y gracias por las palabras incredible!
Beautiful lake and central plaza, a new doggy friend, a fruit market must be great for you. You carry a lot of baggage on your bike including us, and give up a lot for your audience, don’t think for a second we don’t appreciate it and you 😊♥️👍🏽🏍
Yes! It was so great! Aw thank you so much, your words mean a lot, thank you for sharing!!
It is the first time I see a video of yours, and in my humble opinion, I think that in order to have more followers you must interact with the people in your videos, the world likes to know what they think, what they do and what people from other countries feel ,and regions..It's risky for a young woman like you, but the truth is, that's what your colleagues do. You should talk to your female colleagues and get more advice. Take care, I wish you the best.
That's a great idea! I get shy to film when interacting with others so I have yet to show much of that but I think you're right, it would be a very nice part. Thank you for your words!
As many have said, we all experience feelings of hopelessness even when things are going "well". Part of it is the system of social media and "likes" can keep us in a dopamine spiral if we are looking outside for validation. We get likes we feel good, we publish more content hoping for more likes and some content does well and some doesn't.
As someone who has been living outside the U.S. for 2 years, it's sort of a constant roller coaster. Sometimes it's the best thing ever and sometimes I'm homesick. I'm working from home a lot, I speak Spanish but I'm not fluent....I don't have constant validation from my coworkers or family. I have great friends but it's not the same sense of closeness.
What you are doing is phenomenal as a woman, as an American, who has been bombarded with the idea of Mexico and Central America being unsafe for eons. It sets a precedent for others. In terms of building your channel, this is evergreen content. Meaning it will still be incredibly valuable for years to come. So it's not all for this moment. I think you should capitalize more on that you are a woman biking and camping alone. In your titles and for SEO. Be proud of what you are accomplishing. You are forever changed and you are showing the world what is possible.
Thank you so much for these words 🙏🏼 they are so beautiful to read and to hear your share and receive the encouragement (and tips!). I resonated so much with your words, thank you for taking the time to write!
Stay strong and clear those negative feelings from your head., you are brave traveling on a bike by yourself and in a different country and different language., you are strong and all of that will come to pass and you’ll laugh later on about these unhappy moments. Best wishes to you from NJ
You are absolutely right, thank you very much for the words and encouragement, it's very appreciated!!
Hi there. Dont feel bad you are doing a wonderful job and don't compare yourself to other, that is the worst thing we can do. Keep forward and enjoy what you do
Thank you so much! You’re right, the worst. I recognize your handle name, thank you very much for the gas contributions! 🙏🏼
God's always with you girl. Blessings Be strong
I love to hear that, thank you Edward!
You are such a beautiful person. I'm a new subscriber and love your videos ❤
That’s so sweet of you to say, thank you very much! I’m very happy to hear you enjoy the videos!
You are strong, I really admire your strength. From Australia
Thanks so much Luciano!
Thank you for sharing, choose the one you feel more comfortable with👍
Love that suggestion!
