- My final morning living in Virginia, right before setting off on a one year long road trip. In this video, I share why I'm going on the trip and how I'm feeling at this moment.
Breakfast: Millie's Living Cafe, Lynchburg, VA
Coffee: The Muse, Lynchburg, VA
UPDATE SINCE FILMING VIDEO: Due to the global tech outage on Friday, my flight to Vegas got cancelled and I ended up spending a couple days in Richmond with friends. I'm now hitting the road for day 1 of my trip on my actual birthday, July 21st.
Wonder what my first state will be? :)
You owe no one an explanation of how you want to live your life. Stay away from violence, drama and negative people! And be safe do not take unnecessary risks! 🙏☮️🇺🇸
I’m reliving my youth vicariously through you, thank you!
@@barryallentheflash haha awesome 😀
Hi Gina, you are living my dreams. Bucket list, see all 7 continents & all 50 states. You go girlll!!! Sorry about your dad. Hope you find comfort from him during your journey.
Thankyou so much 🥰
I recently lost my mom and I'm still in hibernation, listening to your story gives me hope. Thank you
@@SunRider69 I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 I understand the heartbreak, it’s the hardest thing in the world. You will make it through though, day by day. Keep swimming 🩵🙏
Howdy from Texas! Well not sure how I stumbled on your clip from Big Bend but decided to go backwards to your explanation of the purpose of your channel…hmm that was interesting and profound. See like you we are from Va and moved out here in 93 for job reasons. Meant to go back but never did. So maybe destiny but I just subbed and will catch up on what ya been doing! Be safe and thanks for sharing! Adios
@stuartrollings602 awesome thanks for watching! :)
Do what makes you smile, do what makes you happy because no one else will do it for you. I love your videos. Thank you!
"And so it begins . . ." (By the way - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!)
thankyou so much!!!
Love going by the shop, I am about 10 minutes north of it. Love seeing the truck/tractor
Wow! What a difference from the last video! But life's like that... always going to be ups & downs with a lot of in-betweens! Hope you had fun in Vegas, and I'm sure looking forward to the upcoming 50 videos!

Stay safe.

Happy Birthday Gina!! Much love, so excited for you!! There is this really cool island off the gulf coast of FL called Egmont Key. I think you would really like it! Would definitely make a cool video. Hope you come back and visit again, would love to see you!! Wishing you the best. 💯
Thankyou girl!! Love you ♡
new to the channel but im here for it
Your journey is our. Laugh,life and cry with you. ❤
Hey Gina,thanks for sharing I find it all very relatable with loss, dating... everything in general. I'm in my 40's and still just going with the flow. I'm sure your Dad will be with you everywhere you go 🙏❤️ 50 states wow that's crazy cool,I look forward to coming along with you on your adventures 👌
Also check out an Australian Movie called 'Tracks' or the book 'An Unfinished Woman'. Very cool and inspiring story 💪👍
@@Charlieray69 heck yeah I'll definitely check out both of those, thankyou!! 😁
I’m so excited to follow your travels! ❤️ from Iowa
@@TheAngie2920 thanks girl! 😁💜
@@atinynomad I apologize but sometimes I just don't shut up lol
I'm glad you started your You Tube channel as I, too am living vicariously through your travels. I really enjoy watching these and I'm glad yo're better after losing your Dad. So sorry for that! I'm 72 and enjoy learning again about life through you! Thanks.
@@Ricu52 🙏🩵
I just stumbled across your channel......great stuff. I admire your courage and zest for life. I'm not from VA but I lived in Danville and Lynchburg for about 18 years. We only get one chance at this thing called life......most people will never experience the things you have at 30 years old.......awesome sauce!
Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy everyday of your Journey.
Thankyou!! 😁
Your story is inspiring, looking forward to follow you through the 50 states 👏
Yeah he is watching you, I know my parents are watching me. You never get over missing them and you never stop thinking about them, in time you just learn how to deal with it. You'll be ok, just keep living.
Take care out there. Belated happy birthday! Enjoy your journey, and sing us some songs. 😊
Very moving video . I’m late to your journey but I will get caught up. Good luck to you and be safe in your travels .
Thankyou! 💚
Hey tiny ..... I love watching your vids.... so sorry about your dad he sounds like a smart man ... I can tell just by the way you talk about him and the way you are directing your life..... I am on the same path kind of with my life ... I hope your path brings you to where you want to be
@@stevewebb5343 thankyou so much 🙏💚🙏
Gosh I went down a rabbit hole watching your videos this evening that started with seeing your video at the Red River Gorge in Ky where I live! I have swum around that rock many times! I have also done mechanic work for many years, and I never thought about cancer when I was young but lately it worries me. I've been thinking about all the old oil, grease and smoke I've been around. I'd been considering giving it up and going exploring. I believe you have helped me make that decision! I feel your pain, my own father died from cancer when I was 16. After watching your videos, you feel like family. I hope 2025 is your year!!!
Thankyou so much! 💙 and I’m sorry for your loss at such a young age 💔 that’s truly heartbreaking
Hey girl hey! I'm a tiny Richmonder too haha. This just came up in my feed, wanted to wish you well!
@@WaffleFaceRVA thankyou! 🩷
Sorry about your loss Tiny Nomad.

I just adore you!!
Aww thankyou so much!! 😊💗
Keep doing what Makes You Happy :) Love the vidoes ,Helps all of Us Heal as well
@@chrislippingwell3587 thankyou!! 💖🙏
Do it while you can, some things wont be possible in the future. We all have regrets in life, the worst one's are when we had a plan. But failed to follow them all the way through. Weird how things haunt us later in life. I walked 2 months on the Appalachian trail, when i got back in PA, I quit while my friends continued to Maine. Do what makes you happy, what is the purpose of life? What ever one wants. Ain't no point in working all of adulthood to wake up one day and wish i had done something else. I quit my job 2016 and went on a 9month trip around the country to experience the best of the best. Although i didnt drive i flew to most locations. And probably the longest uber ride ever in South Dakota.
❤❤❤❤❤ you Gina. Your such a beautiful person, inside & out. Looking forward to more videos.
Your new fan/follower from Maine, U.S.
P.S. I'm sorry for the loss of your father. I think it's great what your doing to honor him. I watched all your videos, and not once have you brought up your mother. Is she still in your life as well? Maybe another video you can tell us about.
Thankyou so much! I absolutely love Maine and can't wait to visit that state again soon 🥰
@@atinynomad thanks for taking the time to reply back! 😀 I'm born, and raised in Maine all my life. The fall time with the leaf foliage is great here, but you may know that if you visited during that time. I understand, and respect that with your mother. The less drama in anyone's life, the better. I never really knew my father growing up, he was in a small part of my life when I was little, but I was sheltered with my mother raising me. My father never cared to be in my life it seemed. Both my mother, and my father have passed. I know what loss is, and we got through our darkest days in which I did losing my mother about 10 years ago now. I'm 36 male, and went through my first divorce last year which was another set of dark days. I did what you did, which to watch TH-cam videos to help get through everyday. I don't have many friends, or family and have moved away from my hometown. I learned that I don't want to be in another relationship again. I have too many flaws, and things I'm too stubborn to change to qualify for one. I got to reset, and focus on myself. Through my darkest days last summer with the divorce, I started having interest of van life, car life, and traveling. I don't have any kids, no pets, hardly any family, so I thought of doing car life/van life. I watched alot of youtubers doing what you do. It's nice to watch, and feel like your there on their adventures. It makes me anyway feel a little less alone. Im a dog lover, and you talked about your dad's loss, and then you shortly loss your dog after brought me to tears. I can relate alot. I left my ex our 3 dogs we had including the house we got together. I miss those dogs alot, and I dont get to see them. I don't have a car yet, but hoping someday to save up money so I can get the courage to do what you do, and travel around. I would love to travel out west. I love your tattoos by the way, and I have alot of tattoos too. Your doing a great job in editing your videos. You'll get better as you produce more content. I really enjoy how raw they are. Your also beautiful without any makeup on. My first name is Aaron, but you can call me Octane. Octane Rampage is my gamertag for xbox. If you read to this point, your a freaking Rockstar thank you for having us follow you on your adventures. This guy certainly has a crush 🤭
P.S. I know that car means alot to you. I hope someday you upgrade to a SUV or just something bigger, cause I would love to see you with another dog to also join you on your adventures! 🩵
@@Octane_Rampage_ Thankyou for taking the time to type out such a detailed message sharing some of your story too! I appreciate it and indeed read to the end over my breakfast and coffee! Best wishes to you my friend and thanks for your support :) p.s. I absolutely want another pitty to join me on my adventures but at minimum I gotta wait til next year after my flight to Hawaii. Once that state is checked off though I'm gonna be looking in the shelters to see if I can find my next partner in crime💙🐶
@@atinynomad that's awesome! Pitty 🩵
Be safe on your adventures! I got my youtube notifications ON 👍
Hugs ❤
Cool shop ✌️
Great video! Howl at that moon 💙
@@ManifestingHotStuff thankyou!! 🩵✨
I feel you sister! I feel like I’m kind of stuck in a rut myself. I got divorced a few years ago and it’s just been tough to bounce back. I totally wanna get out of Nelson County as well.
Maybe watching your videos can you help me get motivated to get off my ass?
What a great journey for you
I know this roadside and truck! I’m from Appomattox, Va. enjoy your videos!
@@TroyTyree-r4o awesome thankyou!! 😁
Do what you do Little Lady because you do it well. Keep on smilin`......
Thankyou! :)
Greetings beckoning you from Uganda 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 Uganda East Africa.
As you know by now i am new to your awesome channel.
I am playing catch up on everything.
Watching you and listening to you sing
Wow i listen to country music more.
I have always been a rocker but girl you got my attention
Anyway one of my go to singer's is Gretchen Wilson
I bet you can figure my favorite song
@@bobby-io2rr heck yeah I loooveeee Gretchen!!!! Me and my Dad saw her live back in her prime and it was one of the best shows ever. Redneck Woman??? Personally I love Here for the Party😀
the boots are fire!
@@bigseanprice thankyou! 😁
that is the coolest shop! i love all the old shops like that with all the old signs and stuff, but as usual big money is always tearing down places like that to put up a dunkin donuts or something stupid, i hope that never happens, the shop i work in is old too, from the 50's and we got a thrush muffler sign on the wall too..
A big name gas station company already tried twice to buy the shop...I said NOPE. Not happening under my watch!
@@atinynomad good, I would hate to see that happen, so sad when a place like that is no longer standing, I wish I could travel back in time, shit was just so cool back then
Happy birthday! Best of luck on your journey.
Btw, Sec Buttigieg said something about getting the airlines to reimburse those that had flights cancelled. Edit: Nevermind that bit, just finished and it sounds like you have it squared away.
Thankyou!! :)) Yep even my hotel refunded me so got lucky there. I'm still waiting to hear back from the airline.. I imagine they're overloaded with refund request atm
What’s vlog series that would be! You and Aaron roller skating across America!
@@AaronandTodd 😂 I think I liked the idea of skating across America much more than I actually would've enjoyed it lol this current adventure is much better suited for me 😅
Since you like story telling you may enjoy the National Storytelling Center in Jonesborough TN which is also the oldest city in TN. Too many great places to hike to make a suggestion. You can hardly go wrong.
I love this Video :) I can So relate losing My Mom On May 8th
@@chrislippingwell3587 so sorry for your loss! ❤️🩹
I want to do the same, you go Tiny Nomad, so awesome.
enjoy the new macbook 😉

Sorry 4 Ur Loss Abt ur Dad ❤❤❤❤❤❤ i know how dat Feelz
I am definately Not crying Righ Now
The coffee is a stimulant for me, with ADHD, of course the sugar is not good. But tatse good, mushroom coffee, and Irish sea moss help as well, Shilajit is another option.
I also struggle with relationships I'm 35 I never married, I need to get on the move to travel, my gramps always told me to marry when I'm older.
👍

Maybe invest in a fail safe thermostat for the car so if it fails during your trip it won’t cause engine damage. They’re a cheap investment you can buy one at Autozone and changing the thermostat shouldn’t be that hard to do on your car.
I did recently just get a new thermostat, among several other things. I think she's about as roadtrip ready as she can get
Just discovered your channel! Are you coming to NY!?
@@timparlapiano7036 yes I’m coming to every state! 😁
That’s so awesome I just watched your NY part 1. You were two minutes from me in mountain dale and I frequently visit bethel. Glad you got to see it!
Hey Gina it's Tony again why don't you rent the shop so you will still have it in your life and you can still come back to it
@@creativedesign3657 because it’s not just my decision on what we do with it. I have an older brother as well who has to agree with everything
From where did your love for roller skating come?
@@scotteebee my Dad took me to roller rinks from a young age, so I give him credit for that
@@atinynomadSuper cool. I used to roller skate all of the time. I love the skating rink.
TH-cam has a resurgence of these more "rough and ready" editing, type of vloggers, I prefer them as its what youtube should be and the original format. I don't like the polished ones where people are showing off their video editing skills trying to make it look like a Movie or Netflix - takes away the soul from the videos. Look at bald and bankrupt, he's got 4.x milllion subs and built his channel on walking around with sony action camera with zero editing.
Beautiful girl
Get to know Jesus, always talk to him and have a relationship with him because he is coming very soon. Do you know Jesus is coming back to earth in your lifetime
Damn she is beautiful, I’ve raised my children and now wanna travel with a woman like this..hit me up if you see this .
Love the video but maybe increase the pace of the video.
Perfect as is.
