- me again,
I've had one heck of a summer adventure... But I've run out of pavement heading west. It's time to turn around, and make the trek back home to Colorado. But the ride back hasn't exactly been smooth sailing... Rio and I take refuge at a truck stop after dealing with the chaos.
Lyss.

I'm an old retired truck driver. I also did a tour in the Navy in the seventies. I've been a lot of places and interacted with a lot of people. I am moved by your courage and humility. All lot of people get knocked down and give up. You got up. You inspire people to get up and be who your heart wants you to be. May the spirits light your path and protect you on your journey. You are not alone.
Thomas Hunley, Your words are so true. Life is not always got to one but if you keep going things at some point will get better. You got to have faith in yourself.
What a nice thing to say to her
I am moved that you're moved.
LoL simp.
Thomas, thank you for your service to our country, and thank you for all those years of being without your family on the road delivering goods. I hope you find joy and happiness in your retirement; you deserve it, brother.
"The heart is a good compass". Loved that. As someone 73 and just a poor pensioner I'm stuck in my apartment in Canada and my times living in Panama, Ecuador and Mexico are now over so I enjoy your travels vicariously. Add that you are a stunningly beautiful and wise girl whose words always inspire me and I am certainly a big fan. Thank you.
I don't know if or how much you saved during your lifetime, but I am 77, have owned several tow behind campers and pickup trucks in my lifetime, but am able to average camping about a week of every month, but usually lump most of it in the spring and fall. My longest trip was 3 months to Alaska several years ago, but I have been to every US state during my life, plus Canada and Panama. If you made it a high priority and were creative, I bet you could find a way to travel, but I don't know anything about Canadian retirement.
Jus sometimes it's jus as Good traveling through other People's Adventures... Still brings that Peace an Joy we all long for...🌿👍💕👍🌿
Your not Alone..❤
I can relate . Im66 had a stroke 15 yrs ago. My wife of 40yr went into treatment resistant depresion12 yrs ago. I was a builder for 35 yrs. I would have loved to have gone on the road when i was younger. I think about doing it now
I'm one sweaty stinky gross girl was a priceless thing to say lol! So rare to hear a women say, honest and probably exaggerated. Keep in mind another place u can get away with parking overnight sometimes is at or near a home depot or Lowe's. They both have lots of nuts, bolts and zip ties etc. I'm Mr obvious enjoy! Now those two companies can send us checks! Lol 😂
As a 30 year car guy whose time has been spent in service, I was very impressed at your ability to recognize a problem that could get worse, find the source of the issue and do a temporary (and effective) emergency repair. I have been watching your channel for several years and have watched all your videos. It has been wonderful to watch you grow as a person, you are definitely not the same person you were when you started the channel. I wish you many blessings - cheers!
This was worth the wait to see. I personally don't know too many people at your age who could accomplish the things your've done already. Being on your own on the bus for 5 years then the purchase of your home I'm in awe of the courage. I'm 63 and I have more time behind me than in front of me now and I wish I could have done the same thing as you but my path was certainly different. Thats why its great to see your videos I love the places you go to and your friend are just the best support team. The rowmance thing is going to all fall into place in time. Oh and I loved the fact you didn't edit the sneeze out of the video. - All The best to you and Rio
Most truck drivers will lend a helping hand if you need one. And if sketchy. There is alway at least 50 others that will look out for you. Love you videos stay well.
Its an art what you do. Your videos have emotion, beautiful scenery, a little drama, and a lot of times, a happy ending.
We all struggle. Some more than others. But, like you said, You gotta keep the dream alive. it up to us to get there.
You are so brave, beautiful and encouraging! I just love everything about you. I am a newly divorced mother of two boys. I am 43 years old and am just now being thrown into a TON of responsivity alone. I have taken two incomes worth of bills overnight. I am also homeschooling my 15 year old and runny my small business' from home. I get OVERWEHLED a lot! And am often unsure how I will get everything paid. I watch your videos as I am working from my laptop a lot, and love all the advice, and encouragement you give. You inspire me to keep moving and to step back from it all and look at the bigger picture. Life is amazing! I am beyond blessed to have my own home, have two amazing boys, and to be able to own my own business! I to am brave, beautiful and will also encourage my self to bust my ass and build my business so that I can build a life for my babies! Thank you for everything! I get so excited when I see you post a new video. I love you and Rio! I am so proud of you! God bless!
When you are young you have dreams. When you are a 72 year old geezer like me who made it through one heart attack a Sepsis infection that almost killed me and a cancer survivor you don't have to worry about following dreams anymore I live through the dreams of my daughter and grand children. Glad you follow yours and it takes you where you want to be. Good health and happiness to you.
I want to thank you for inspiring this 61 year old man to hit the open road on his own, and for showing me the courage to carry on thru all the troubles life has thrown at me. I am an East coast guy, love the history the east has to offer, it is time I experienced life to the fullest, hope one day our paths will cross and we can share a bottle of nice wine to
gether, my treat.
I know how you feel. Your living out of you bus, using Solar and propane enjoying your life offgrid. I live my life in a tiny 11'x15' cabin using Solar, haul water, heat with wood and use an outhouse. We both enjoy being free from the norm. Enjoy the rest of your life.❤
Lockwashers for future reference. Locktite also but can be a pain to remove them if you need to. Also, only black zip-ties are resistant to UV and will last a LOT longer.
OMG girl!! You are such an inspiration!! I am a month off of my nomad test drive in my Element and you have been so insanely inspiring for me. ❤
Have a good day ma'am
God bless your journey. You are beautiful and inspiring. I’m a trucker and know how it is to travel all over the states and anywhere in between. Truly wish I had someone like you in my life that shares that passion for traveling. Take care and really love following along on your adventures on the bus. I send a big hug and greetings from Florida ❤ 🌹🤠
You sound like a great person. You've learned the lessons of a happy life. Challenges are always just around the corner but you have the right attitude to persevere. Good luck down the road.
That last part of your video was really touching. I'm sure you are helping alot of people with your story. Keeping the dream alive 1 day at a time. Ty
All I can say is thank you for sharing your life and the journey you have been on with us. You and Rio have a great wonderful time and the very best of life to you both. Peace out 😊
Another great video Lyss. My internal 12 volt battery was depleated, and as usual, after watching, I'm back up to 13 volts! Okay, that sounded odd, but given your solar panel issue, I thought I would use an analogy that tied into your situation. You have grown so much over the past few years and you've got the soul of someone much older. That's a good thing. Enjoy your time back home and thanks for reminding me of why the good fight is worth it. ❤
The things you do and the places you go is truly amazing your a beautiful woman with outlook on life to be free and roam places you've never seen and you return home to a quiet place is what you are just amazing watching you live is awesome. Thanks for sharing your video and thoughts enjoy watching you ❤️
Zip ties for win! Always carry some on my motorcycle. Now to get that AC fixed. Glad you made it home. Dream wood is a perfect name for your home. ❤
White zip ties decay quickly in the sun and brake off but the black zip ties last much longer but will decay after a certain number of years. Thanks John
I am 56 years old and have been all over the U.S., but not like this. You are amazing and I wish I could have done the same. Life just takes you where you want to go or sometimes you take it where its goes. You are amazing. Keep it up.
I am a trucker and believe me when I say the older fellas will help you . Some of these new foreign steering wheel holders you need to keep a eye on.
100% truth!
True story I’ve been driving for 40 years myself
I'm what you call a "foreigner". British, been in the USA 30 years, driving big trucks for 15 years and like you, I also hold a steering wheel...all truck drivers do. Your air of superiority shines bright. 10-4.
@@kevdenn if you said your a steering wheel holder then you are part of the problem. I was born & raised here and there's a difference between old school drivers and steering wheel holders chap. 10-4
Are you a racist? What's the difference with a "foreign" truck driver as opposed to an American truck driver? Please define your term "steering wheel holder" as it seems pretty dumb?
Love's showers are the greatest. I normally don't pay for mine. When I get 50 gallons of fuel or more using the Love's Connect card, I get a Shower and Free drink refill credit.
Loved hearing you reflect on how far you've come and the importance of keeping the dream alive and taking steps to make it happen!!!
I really like how honest you are with your like experiences and how you overcame your hardships. One tip for you on the road and showering at a truck stop, get yourself some cheap flip flops to wear when showering because the floor may look clean but they are infested with germs and I don’t want you to have any issues.
Its good to hear that you were able to leave the depression etc behind you and find such a one of a kind awesome life, that is a true success story. Here's to a continued journey to wherever you want to go. Thanks for sharing
I love the way you think, I love your insights, and your self-reflections. I wish I'd have had half the self-awareness you do when I was your age. Keep exploring, keep pushing, and please keep the videos coming. Thank you!
This video really struck a cord with me. Won't get into it,but thank you just what I needed to hear. ( Struggling)
Boy would I love your life at 78 and have been always active now been in a wheelchair from a stroke now as close to this life is you so keep posting so please keep it up
Takes a licking keeps on ticking
You're an amazing spirit. Let your light shine on this dark dark world! Wish I was on the road like you. Easy travels.
What an uplifting video! After seeing all the ones where lone female drivers are harassed or otherwise terrorized in the night from weirdos banging on the doors, this one had none of that nonsense and was just giving us a glimpse of your incredible life on the road. You're very resourceful and intelligent and I give you props with what you've done with your life after your revelation of being evicted. Well done, young lady!
Enjoyed your post here. My Wife and I like that you showed the Love's Shower, because we have a Sprinter Van that we are getting ready to start travelling in. This helped with knowing what is out there. My wife liked your decorations and art in the bus.
I upped and moved to Colorado from Ohio and it was the greatest time of my damn life. Covid hit sending me back to Cincinnati and I feel like my flame is gone. However.... Videos such as these make me feel like it's not over. That I still have wood to burn!
Welcome to Ohio Jojo!

Be sure to snug up the screws that hold it all together.
See the one on the left. It is showing signs of movement.
See the dust/dirt stains around the head?
The one on the right hasn’t moved, it’s clean.
THIS, this is the video I’ve been waiting so long from you, I for one am so happy for you after how far you’ve come.
Your video just popped up on my feed and iv just watched it and wanted to just say "Excellent, you go girl 👏 ",,im now going to sub you and binge watch the start of your New Life Adventure. Dave,A Brit motorcyclist living in Germany ✌
The road is home for me , I have been living abroad since 2010 , four SUV’s and 12.5 years later I can say it was worth every min …. Freedom and living free …. There is nothing like it ….
Young lady, 1st time watching your video. Whether you know it or not, you are an inspiration to so many people. You are so awesome to take us along and share your dreams and aspirations. I have 3 daughters that are grown and on their own and I miss them everyday especially my youngest still single and not so sure which road to take. Your video showed up on my feed and I watched you till end. You touched my heart young lady. I wish my youngest daughter had your guts. I want to leave you with this Irish poem.
MAY THE ROAD RISE UP TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK. MAY THE SUNSHINE WARM UPON YOUR FACE AND THE RAIN FALLS SOFTLY UPON YOUR FIELDS, AND UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. 🤗👏💐🌺🌿🙏
Life is beautiful, enjoy it. I enjoy watching you enjoy life as well and find yourself. As I try to find myself, thank you. Love and light
That was a really great message and I’m proud of you for not giving up on yourself.
Amazing how being able to appreciate creation can help you keep your dreams alive. Seek peace and pursue it-seek the truth and you will find it.
Stay blessed ❤️
Id been happy to help you. Safe travels kid.
Brilliant video , you must if lost the nut on your bolt seems odd that came loose , truck stop was well nice and the showers. 👍
You’re such a beautiful soul. That’s why you’re blessed. 😇
I guess I missed the part of "an almost disaster."
Cool rig and great travel partner!
When the mountain (Rainier) was out, we would also refer to the view as Vitamin R. Good for what ails ya.
all the care into the build and you forget the ladder.... time to see chuck
he sold the business.
You are awesome! I have to admire your determination and now enjoying the fruits of your labor 👏
Bless you dear girl. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
It's so beautiful where you live, I love it!
Hats off to ya! You're living the dream. I also built a fifth wheel and figured on traveling and camping with it living on the go. But It was too heavy for the truck LOL Anyways I live in a RV park now but enjoy the outdoors. Going hunting this fall. You are a critical thinker and will have no road bumps you can't overcome. Have a great day. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful Young Woman, love that she has the common sense to be able to effect repairs, not everyone has that capability.
Great job on this! And perfect message at a perfect time for me… thanks for the motivation 👍🚐🚐
Bolts in vehicles that are not original equipment or holding fenders, engine components, suspension components will loosen from movement, vibration because they cannot be super tight. Any bolt in a use that is just tight or snug needs a threadlocking compound such as loctite red, blue or orange. Red is super holding for critical components and it very hard to get loose after it is cured. Orange provides a good hold and easier to remove for service. If they are bolts with nuts holding the bolt then the nut needs to be a nylock style nut. It has a nylon insert that clamps around the threads of the bolt. Lock washers require the bolt to be super tight to crush the lock washer so a nylock is the better choice. Thread locker is made for blind threaded holes where you cant have a nut exposed.
I thought you had a different bus before that you build with your dork boy friend
I always love your journeys with Rio, but I got emotional during this one. Always great advice, too. Sometimes, it’s good to have someone give you a reminder to keep pushing forward. Thank you for sharing.
Well done kiddo. You're great.
Live life and be safe.
I love your dog!! And your truck
I always watch your travels and adventurous van life. Take care and stay safe always along with your travel buddy 😊
Glad you got it fixed.....
Also.....you should always have a roll of DUCT TAPE....
WD 40....Duct Tape....and Zip ties......
You are such a beautiful soul, Any man would be lucky to share your adventures with You, Your smart, funny, driven, and very easy on the eyes,
Your house is beautiful. Thank you for your video.
Hey Alyssa, I was watching another channel and they were car camping, they used a product call "cool breeze" to cool their vehicle when sleeping at night because they were in a minivan so they couldn't do a minislit thing like your bus/tiny home. Hope it helps. Just trying to help. Making sure both you and Rio stays cool during the summer months while travelling.
My dad was a trucker. They will help u you any way they can . They r the kindness n caring also . But please still be SAFE OUT THERE PLEASE!!! Mucho Love From Your Friend In Michigan Tam 💜💜
Good Travels The pasta Look good Just a tip showering in public areas Best to use slippers / Flip flops So your feet doesn't touch the floor with bacteria 👍
U need a save a trip tool bag duct tape zipties tire plug kit wool blanket and pistol. Really I could feel the bring it all back in ur voice!
I drove a truck for many years, Utah is my favorite state so beautiful, and the North West too, I'd like to go back and do what you do, enjoy where your for awhile, good luck 😉
I love Rio. Reminds me my Spike…❤ very similar…he died in 2016, he was 19 years. I miss him so much
I just watched your reflection part, and apparently I needed to hear the part about not giving up on my dream, because I teared up. Thank you 🙏 ❤
Great video & very inspiring words that should make us all realize what is truly important. Thanks for sharing.
I use lock washers with lock nuts on anything that vibrates, and on a roof in the wind, I would probably use two nuts tightly together if the bolt is long enough... I would do that with all of them when time permits.
Finally, someone who knows his stuff! 👍
a girl loves to be clean!!!!!! always keep electric tape, common pliers, both type of screw drivers etc.... close at hand. keep rocking girl. peace
You are a Definitely a Beautiful view, and Very Brave young woman nice bus camper, I Love your Home your House. I Hope your well and safe I'm from Ontario, Canada stay Safe Always
I love Love's! I camp out there in the back of my minivan whenever I'm on my road trips! That pasta dish is making me HUNGRAAYYYY!!! :)
Hey Alyssa, my "accident" ... What actually happened is I gave myself what my doctors are calling a traumatic brain injury as a result of my 9th concussion. Anyway, I think what I might do is when they release me to drive again, I will load up my utility trailer with paint gear and carpentry tools and head your way. If I can get there before it gets cold maybe we can get a fresh paint job on your rig before Winter. 😁👍 BIG HUGS and much ❤from Tennessee!
Unsolicited health advice from a stranger: Mexico City has top TBI medical care. They have hyperbaric oxygen clinics that only cost $13 per session. Get yourself 80 sessions. If you can’t travel, build your own chamber.
No, you’re not an obsessed creep are you Bobby? Just what an attractive young woman living alone in a remote location wants to hear. Some middle aged brain damaged guy wants to load up his trailer and come looking for her, all just to “help her” of course. Reading your groomer statements sends chills down my spine. She should hope they NEVER release you to drive again. You’re a weirdo Bob.
Be proud of your accomplishments. I’m building my 1st sprinter at 56yr. People who are too scared to try, fail.
FYI for more permanent zip ties that will be exported to sun use UV rated black ones . Good job with the temp repair
Alyssa, thanks for another fantastic video! You adapt so well to whichever environment you are in. You're in your element as you travel in your bus, but I think you do so well also in your home setting in Colorado. Definitely the view was great on top of the solar panels and it wasn't the surrounding area as much as the beautiful lady at work!! Another thing, let me remind you that you might be sweaty, smelly, and feeling dirty, but you are never gross 😊 You're a very beautiful woman even without makeup, beautiful is as beautiful does, and you rock that department well 💯 Wishing you a wonderful week at home! Love you young lady and I pray for you 💞🙏🌺🌺
Awesome video girl!!! Glad you got to get away in the bus for a while. It's always great to have a home base to come back to your very own parking spot!!!! Can't wait to see where life takes you next.
Outstanding video! Wow, you've produced great content here, worthy of much praise! Great job!
This is the first time I have seen your channel. I started my business life at 14 and had several businesses over the years, 3 wives adopted kids and so on, but never took the time to do what you are doing. I feel like my life is gone and I never saw much of anything - nothing but work. Your doing it right. I wish I could have done what you are doing. I hope your life continues on the way you want it to. I admire you! PS I love your beautiful eyes !!
Love and peace for you and loyal dog. Give him some pets and hugs from me. I would love to cook for you. tears are ok to shed. Hugs for you too.
It's dinner time here and I want that ziti dish you made. lol Impressive mechanical improvisation with the missing bolt emergency. Keep on truckin' Alyssa. 🥰
Hello just keep going forward you and your four legged friend
Very nice video
Enjoy your night and day✌️
Zip ties and gorilla tape are a musts when traveling. I love the scenery it’s so beautiful. There is nothing better then a good shower after a hot sweaty day .
Bless you! The morning sneeze...lol...
Lovely share again, thank you for the inspiration and bless you.
holding ....holding on
Don't chasey your dreams, follow them. Chasing implies they don't want you as much as you want them. Once in a while, we get shone the light. In the strangest of places, if ya look at it right...
I just found you a couple days ago and am binge watching. You are so inspirational, strong, smart and lovely. I love your adventurous soul!
The white tie-wraps are OK for a while but they are not UV resistant like the black ones! Black ones are usually UV resistant, had black ones at the plant last 20 years! 😁😁
You're amazing!!! Much love from Pittsburgh, PA
My dad is a old trucker and growing up I learned not to trust most truckers. You can tell who has good intentions and who doesn’t, often its the younger guys who don’t
Lyss, I can not get enough of the song, Empty. Thank you for this. 😘
1:26 Bless you, sweet soul! 🤍
Absolutely love the decor really nice the way it's done keep that tire pressure checked be careful.
Good Job!!!!!!!! Keep your thoughts positive and you will endure whatever life throws at you!! Just remember, we only get to do this life one time----so make the most out of it!! I like your dog----he'll keep you happy and remain your best friend!!! As the truckers say---keep the greasy side down!!!
You can take a shower with bottled water the hand held ones! It takes 5 or six but it is refreshing and you can put them in the microwave and warm them up!!!
Being so young , wise and free at the same point in one's life is more rare than winning the powerball. Then add to it intelligence, bravery , beauty and a faithful 4 legged companion and you might be the richest girl in the world. Peace
don't look back! you are livin' the dream!
Way to go! Live your dream. I think having a place to call home is important..you can put down roots and make connections. You'll always have an escape but have a haven to return to!
Replace the plastic zip ties with stainless steel zip ties. Unlike the plastic ones that will become brittle from the sun and break the stainless steel zip ties will last forever and are probably fifty times stronger.
I would replace the missing bolt w/ double-nuts & do the rest of them the same & install one SS zip tie @ each bolt location...IF this was my Bus RV. Then I wouldn't have to worry about it, unless it's vandalized or I happen to roll-it over a cliff, etc. 🤣
Stumbled upon your posting and was totally hooked by your honesty, tenacity and openness. If I had to sum it up in a single word: INSPIRATIONAL! I’ve just subscribed and can’t wait to watch all the ones I have missed, and the ones yet to come. You Go Girl!
