I think anyone who has been following you for a while cannot help but recognise and appreciate your values and beliefs, that's why we keep following you...
I think you are fully living your values and anyone who has followed you for a while probably knows what those values are. Actions speak louder than words!
@wildshegoes I was just about to leave a comment saying the same thing. I watch your channel for a variety of reasons, one being how your values come through. I do like watching channels with more outspoken people too, like Leena Norms and Laurenandthebooks. You are all very different but there's a similarity in your channels that's not immediately apparent and I think although you aren't as vocal about issues, you get a lot across to your viewers in your own way I think 🙂

The way you live says it all. You are so positive, willing to learn, wonderful to dogs... I could go on and on because watching your channel is so inspiring. I don't mind if you share or not, your values come through anyway. Anyone can see that your heart is in the right place. ❤😃
For some reasons it was very clear to me, you are vegan (or at least vegetarian). You can tell by the way you live and how much you value nature etc. Go girl!
Marina, your non-confrontational way of being in the world is of great value. You bring joy and peace to many with what you share online - the world really needs this. Also, think what Marie Kondo would say about your motorcycle, "Does it bring you joy?" It so obviously does! I'm sure you will find a way to have it in your life with Vongola. Seeing Vongola jumping around, tail wagging, so enamoured of you warms my heart!
Have you ever thought that your videos ARE making a difference? In a world that can bring so much concern, I watch neutral videos like yours, and I get a reprieve along with inspiration. You are a platform and you are using it well. I learn how to be brave, do it yourself and dont sweat it if not perfect, to treat people kindly, enjoy the good, look on the bright side, etc. This is all about who you are. Leave it at that and keep things happy. People are not going to change just because I voice my thoughts....and you won't bring change to people by voicing yours. You are changing the world, by showing. Thank you. 😊
Just a random feedback from an Eastern European: I started to watch your videos for your Kangoo camper, and stayed with you for your personality. So it’s irrelevant if you’re real vegan or not. As long as you share your real opinions on any subjects, I stay with you. Thanks, Peter 🇭🇺
I've watched you (your vlogs) making jewelery, repair the car, bike, van, renovating your house, making furnitures, buiding the garden, fostering dogs..and now this.. you are a very multi talented woman marina. That is why we (followers) love you.
Personally, I try to avoid all the worldly talk and opinions because it’s all so stressful so I deliberately try to find a more peaceful environment which is why I enjoy your videos. Watching you explore and create is the best.
As so many others have stated here, what you share is your business. I’m 64 and learn new things from you! The more of a stance you take, the more likely you get resistance from those who have an axe to grind. That’s yours to decide. My daughter now weaves baskets because you showed how to do it. I’ll still watch because I enjoy your insight and authenticity. Love to you and your new boy! 🤗
You are not bland, you are very interesting, what you choose to share, is totally your call, i have thoroughly and absolutely enjoyed your content, you also have inspired me to do more for myself, i am 66 and live alone, so i do need to step up more!
Actually, the reason that I enjoy your channel is that you provide an escape from all the rest of the content out there that can be so divisive at times. I love catching up with you and seeing you transform your home with your many projects. You are truly a "renaissance" woman. That said, would love to see your "goulash" recipe video and other vegan meals that you prepare.
From all my years of active activism I’ve learned that example just being whatever you believe without hiding is the most effective guidance to real internal change in others. For example, the depth of your kindness, patience and acceptance of the dogs in you care, I had never seen that before. And you showed it to me video after video without scripting or film making or maybe even intention. You were just being you and I followed you into a new depth of experiencing and thinking about humans and domestic animal relationships.
Ok i'm crying now 🥹 Thank you. I often feel I should be more of an activist, do more, say more, participate to events or discussions etc. I guess activism does not all look the same and we need all kinds of people to tackle issues in different ways.
@Wild She Goes • Why not compromise? Keep your full-length videos as a safe haven. Use shorts for "issues." You can turn off comments so you don't need to worry about negative feedback, but you will still be getting your opinion out there.
You do whatver you need to do to feel physically and emotionally safe online. I watch you and other content creators to destress from the horrors of the world. You do you and don't apologize.
Why must everything must be so heavy nowadays? We need to get onboard with a lightness of being. You're vegan - that's fine. We appreciate you for who you are. If you worry about your authenticity offending people - that's a real burden!
Dear Marina, as someone who has watched your videos since "Pam the Van" days knows your values and lifestyle choices are unique and true. For anyone who takes a moment to watch your content, it's obvious to see where your feelings lay. In my humble opinion, you don't have to justify or explain anything. Unfortunately we live in troubling times. Wars, climate change, politics and social media all have foreboding dark sky's on the horizon. Personally, I've always watched your content to see a strong, resourceful ( not to mention creative and hard working) woman who has ditched societal convention to live a life that is really hers. In the mega world of TH-cam , your videos have a beautiful signature. I like the music, the never ending projects, the focus on the small details and your love of dogs. My only bit of advise is to keep this channel as you have been doing. I think for many of us it's an escape from the day to day hardships people face. You are a passionate person, let your opinions and feeling be know, but perhaps create another channel to do so. The world, media and politics have become so polarized that we seek, I seek content that just shares your unique journey. PLUS ... as a lifelong motorcyclist, I know the pain and conflict of should I sell or keep a certain special bike. Bottom line for me, if it's not being used ...time to sell. There will always be a good deal on another bike somewhere if and when you decide to do more riding. Maurice
Greetings from BC Canada! I'm a private person as you are. However, I love sharing information when I do research, especially on DIY projects, as well as sustainability in all aspects of life. Today I will share how I feel since you requested our thoughts. I say and do what makes me happy, with absolutely no worries what others think. Some feel they need to acquire an army of people with the same views, and beliefs to establish a reality for their own perception, this may be the reason why they strongly impose on others what they believe to be true. Reality isn't like that. When we live alone, we come to understand, and discover who we are philosophically, emotionally, environmentally, politically and spiritually, which can be overwhelming to share with others at times. Your videos are excellent, same way you are. Blessings.
I understand completely the reason you don’t share. I also don’t share my opinions or beliefs. I’m not a good debater and people arguing with me doesn’t change my mind, it just makes me uncomfortable.
I think keeping your channel feel good & neutral is why I enjoy your content. I first subscribed when you had Pam the Van as I was looking at micro campers. But Im still here ..... 🤔
Providing an escape from the harsh reality of life is as valuable as someone openly standing up for what they believe in. It all depends on what you feel is right for you and your channel. Keeping in mind that you can make small changes over time to gauge what feels authentic for you and also suits your audience. All your videos set a really good, warm and friendly tone, which is why I watch them. Maybe just starting to talk about how the world events are having an effect on you but without taking a political stance might be a way to start.
If you think your van is not 100% reliable, then having a motorcycle as a backup in case it fails sounds like a good idea, specially in winter. But you also have an electric bike, so that may work out too.
Post what you feel to be important, the majority of your viewers are here for you, all of you, your travels, your gardening, projects, everything. Online youtube people unfortunately are the target of others who have nothing better to do but look for conflict. I'll never be vegan but people who are that's great for them, I'll also never be tall but I don't hate tall people 😊 Seen people with bikes have a trailer or sidecar and take their dogs with them. All the best whatever you decide.
My husband and I have watched your videos for years now. We love watching your content. When it comes to what you share…only share what you are comfortable with….keeping yourself emotionally safe. Your actions show what you value and that is very positive and refreshing. Love from Australia
Your values are yours and the fact that you have a utube channel does not mean we need to know “everything” you value or not, only what you feel comfortable about. Regarding the bike, we’ll we just got rid of ours after a decade of riding, we don’t use them to justify having them, we have a car and an e-bike so enough to get around. We would love though to see you with your new dog go on short trips in the van, starting with a day trip to the lake?….( once his ear infection is fully healed of course and checking first with the vet.)
You have a nice channel and it feels like escapism for me. And of course you were Vegan! it fits with you. I think sharing a little is fine but don't open the doors too wide I'd say. Keep a nice free and easy life.
Dear Marina, I love your videos as they are, because I do watch videos with strong opinions and I can't wait to see the beauty of yours. For many years I was a vegetarian, then as I got older, my body started craving some meat protein. I follow what my body needs. Stay happy in your element. That's why people love your videos.
Do you ...we will watch. I personally like your content variety. If you feel there is something you want to say, then do it. IF you have doubts, trust your intuitions.
You provide content (which I love). YOU decide on the content. It shouldn’t get dictated by anyone. Look at all these TH-camrs who are burned out jumping through hoops. You do you x
Don’t worry how people view you sweetheart! You are doing just fine! Beautiful landscape befitting a beautiful girl! Take off your eyes and bear our sole, and your true pure spirit will shine in this tired and weary world forever. All to be witnessed by everyone around you! Stay happy, stay safe and be true to yourself, as I know you always are
It makes me so happy to see that you have posted another video and to finally have the time to put my tired feet up at the end of the day and to watch it, knowing that I will be serene and fulfilled with whatever you choose to share with us. (I loved every sequence of this video, especially of you sitting out on the table bent over the sewing machine with Vongola at your side). That's just it. It's YOUR choice. You choose what you wish to share. No explanations needed. Period. The way you live your life, the projects you have undertaken over the years, all the decisions made (be they large and small) speak volumes. They represent your values. Those who follow you know this and love you for it. ❤❤❤
This is over 25 years. First I was a reduced meat eater, then drifted to being vegetarian, then found dairy didn't agree with me so I cut that out. Still eat fish though. More recently found I was eating too much carbohydrates, so I tried to up my protein by eating cottage cheese. More recently I've started eating high quality beef now & then. But who really cares ...... 😂
We all follow you because we enjoy your honesty and respect your privacy so you should share what you feel is comfortable and right for you. Your personal life is no one’s business but your own. We enjoy you sharing with us what you are working on in your beautiful home and with your fostering you amazing doggies and adventures. We all wish you the very best. ❤
I agree about how it can be tricky sharing enough but not too much on your channel. It can be so easy to unintentionally offend someone, and people become brave behind a screen. They will say things online that they would never say to your face.
One can be known not only for what one includes in one's life but what one leaves out. We are all different . We don't have to agree on everything for us to be friends❤❤Btw I've been a vegetarian for 30+ yrs. Statrted out militant but now more willing to observe shades of gray as well. I am thrilled you share what you share- so fun and interesting. Your love of dogs mirrors my own. Bless you for trying to tread peacefully in an often unpeaceful world
Evening Marina, I like many thousands of your fans are probably screaming at the screen saying, 'Sidecar' for the bike and Vongola!! No need too sell, just make an addition! As for your fear of talking about what you like or don't like, many of us that have followed you for a long time or even the beginning, we are here because we appreciate your style, your presentation and content what ever that maybe,those who wish too attack those values you hold dear can keep their opinions to themselves. Another great relaxing and informative video....P.S...(SideCar!!) LoL. Health@Happiness to you
This quote from Abraham Verghese’s novel The Covenant of Water may be helpful if you are still undecided about sharing your views: “Sometimes we have to “live the question,” not push for the answer.” Your videos have been so wonderful! I have loved what you have shared, and also how you have kept your privacy. ❤
I can't express my relief when you said you were making cleansing pads, after cutting circles while talking about making pants. I was genuinely confused as to how you made pants from circles 😅
As you get older, you one day won’t give a crap about anyone else thinks and you’ll feel free to be you. I’m 67 now and I can’t really pinpoint the exact age I was, but I got tired of pleasing everyone but myself and I now live a beautiful life on my own terms. I’m in America and people have gone crazy here so I stay at home and I’ve created my own little sanctuary of peace and beauty. I do allow people in, but they know they aren’t welcome if they even whisper one word of hate towards others. You will learn this too and surround yourself with those who make you feel good.
I enjoy your videos because of the way you delve into and find pleasure in what comes your way or is important to you in your everyday life. I am not looking to be told what to think or do or to be forced to question myself. When platforms move into political or instructional, do-it-my-way content, they no longer feel personal. It feels like they are playing to an algorithm and they lose a sense of sincerity. You are a calm in the storm. An anchor as it were, in a wonky world. Thanks for all you say and do.
If you really love your motorcycle, I have a couple of ideas. Here where I live, I see dogs riding behind or in front of people all the time on bikes. They usually have goggles on. Lol 🤗 Also, you can always get a sidecar for your buddy. Then he will have plenty of room if you can trust him not to jump out as your going, or put him on a short leash for safety in the car. You could probably even make a seat belt from a doggy vest harness with a little ingenuity. Anyway, just a thought.❤️🐝🤗 About the other… if you don’t like conflict, I wouldn’t go into politics online. There are lots of people who just look for those with differing views to viciously attack. You have a peaceful place here. Maybe make a different channel to explore that? If it gets out of hand, then you can shut it down.❤️🐝🤗
Hi Deborah! I looked into it but sidecars are more expensive than the bike itself and I don't know if Vongola would really enjoy that 😂 He's an old dog! But the thought of him riding beside me in a sidecar with goggles makes me giggle. So cute!!!
@@WildSheGoes awww, that’s a shame about the cost. Maybe a second hand one will turn up. In any case, good luck with it whether you sell it or not.❤️🐝🤗
A few moments that I found particularly evocative from an emotional point of view: this passage where you watch the leaves of the trees dancing in the wind at 13:31; and again at 19:22, you stop playing, the wind is blowing in the background, you cuddling the dog. By mental association it reminded me of the scene in the wind in Tarkovsky's film "The Mirror". Or the ending of the encounter between the protagonist and the girl he is in love with in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "The Wild Pear Tree".
Get a trailer 😅 seriously I am so looking forward to you going to Scotland again, your Scottish diaries got me through such a miserable time after my marriage broke up! They were very dark days, but you were a Ray of sunshine for me! I bought a little campervan on the strength of your journey but I haven't been as brave as you yet! Only share what is right for you xxxxxxx
Thanks sharing. Love hearing about the garden, your dog, and what is going on in your world. Share what you can. Appreciate when others share what is going on in your country and how you feel about it. So creative to make your own underwear and face pads. Cheers.
Share whatever you feel comfortable sharing and always be aware that it's important to keep an open mind because we dont always see the whole picture of things and people. I'm about to turn 69 and was completely vegan for over 35 years and was also an organic vegan farmer and grower. I had to stop being vegan in my 40s because I developed challenging food sensitivities to all beans, lentils and legumes, as well as many nuts and seeds except almonds. I was already coeliac. I still don't eat dairy but have to include fish in my diet now. I brought my four kids up on a largely organic, vegan diet. Two still don't eat dairy but my older daughter is an organic, regenerative, minimum tillage, dairy farmer. She and her husband now run an award winning cheese and butter company. I have had to learn not to have fixed views and instead have been learning that things in life are often complex and nuanced. The land my daughter farms is all river valley water meadows which cannot be used for growing arable crops and can only be used for cattle. Also, they do not buy in any animal feed for winter. Instead they grow herbal leys, rich in nutrients, that they cut and make into silage and haylage for winter feed. They also generate all the electricity for the whole farm and cheese production. They even feed the cattle a herbal mix to reduce methane emissions. I have learnt a lot, that there is room in this world for many ways of doing things and being, that are still sensitive and respectful to the natural world and planet, and to who we each are as individuals. There is no one right way, instead there are countless unique ways. I love your videos and have been watching them since you bought your Italian home. You are a real inspiration. Much love to you.
Yes to this! It's not all black and white. To me what's important is not convincing people to be vegan but to let them know how the system works so they can then decide. I think the majority of people have no idea on how their meat is grown and what is the impact of a high meat consumption on the planet. I know from experience, people still think that cows always produce milk no matter if they have a calf or not. Or think that most cows live a happy life on green pasture grazing. My hope is that when people have the data they can make a much more informed decision on how they consume. I think being vegan is one (imperfect) solution, not the only one
I love your channel because you share that part of your life that YOU feel comfortable sharing. I appreciate that you want to avoid conflict, that is how you care for yourself. If there is something you want to talk about that might trigger others, you will probably need to ignore any negative comments, perhaps this will help you grow stronger in your ability to navigate outside agitators. BUT having said that, in my opinion you should only do or say what you want to-I will love your channel and creative spirit no matter what you post.
I’m personally not vegetarian/vegan for a variety of reasons. HOWEVER, that does not mean I am not interested in learning about your choices! That said: it is Your Life and Your Privacy and I totally understand the need for self-protection. I am grateful for all of the excellent content you provide and I am happy to be with you on Patreon too 😊
One more comment. :) You inspire, because you live. Sadly, I think most of us are coasting. And what you share fills our hearts and guides us - *reminds* us of what we want in life. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Hi! I started following you knowing that you were a vegetarian/Vegan.I follow other vegans as well. It's my way of supporting my kind of people as I am a vegetarian my whole life and a vegan for 12 years because I love all the creatures on earth. Love your videos and wish you happiness in life.
I think you’re doing brilliantly just as you are. If you want to share your opinions, that’s great, but I love the neutrality and calmness of this channel. I’ve been following you since Pam the van and sweet Odie.
If it‘s either/or then sell the bike and go to Scotland. I just got back and am planning to go again. I went in a van, I got inspired a few years ago by an authentic girl living in a van she called Pam. I do appreciate why you hold back, and it‘s your right, but selfishly I would love to hear more of your opinions. I think you have a very special mindset and a lot to offer by sharing it. But protect yourself first. Only you can know where your borders need to be. ❤
Ahh Lauren! Hope you had a wonderful trip to Scotland! I do think I will sell it fix the van and go for a trip. I can always save up and buy in again if I regret it 🥰
Hello dear Marina, I'm a new subscriber here. The way you look at the camera, the way you speak, what you eat, what you wear, what and how you create, it is simply hypnotizing and beautiful to me. I feel like I've known you forever. Who you are, or who you seem to be, it really shows on the few videos that I've seen, which is 3. It is so interesting to see you do art and the way you live your life. We have similar values and I really appreciate this in someone. Most comments seem to point out that if we've been following you for a while we've known or have a very good idea of who you are, but I've seen into your soul right away, and I'm in love with what I saw. Any time we show a part of ourselves to people, we're bound to receive criticism, good or bad, no matter how pure we might sound or what intentions we have. We simply can't please everyone and it's always a matter of whether we are okay potentially receiving this criticism or if we would rather just not have this feedback when we expose ourselves. I think what's most important here is to simply stay true to yourself. Remember that no one knows how to take care of you like yourself. I sometimes have those insecurities, but doubting oneself or dwelling too long over these things is what creates our barriers, and sometimes those barriers are not even helping our growth. But what do YOU want to do? Do you enjoy the unfiltered free talking without having to conceal your values, or would you prefer being on your guard a bit more not to give too much information about your life so that people find less ways to criticize? What makes YOU the happiest? For my part, I'll follow you for who you are. I hope we can stay in touch, I have a lot of admiration for you. Love, Alex
Your channel has always been a safe and relaxing place to be for me. Your values are portrayed through your actions. At least, that is how I look at it. Thank you for always inspiring and being considerate in so many ways.
A lady that can sew, ride motorbikes, grow food to eat, renovate a house, travel alone, be honest and caring, is vegan, can communicate with dogs ,and humans and play banjo..... What`s not to like? Please tell us what you think, we`ll either like it or not. Those that don`t agree could politely explain why. You have an opportunity through your platform, please use it. Much love from France x
Thank you for Sharing! Try not to pay attention to any negative post. I enjoy your videos, and your love for animals. I vote keep your motorcycle because you love it. Thank you for sharing your life:) from upstate NY❤
I'm retiring soon and just realized that my new life will look a lot like yours is now. Travel, animals, yard and house reno/ work, gardening, diy everything, hiking, bike touring, etc (except i live in Canadian Rockies)...I guess actually I already do these things so...lol, life is grand!
Hi Marina. It's a difficult question, but I'll share my honest (gentle!) opinion. The internet is so full of people giving their opinions and being 'activist', that I think now people have one of two reactions to hearing things they disagree with - they disengage, or they react. As you say, everyone has different backgrounds, perspectives, or are at different stages in life where they've learned lessons and their opinions have changed. The chances of reaching people and changing minds online are small, and you're more likely to alienate some followers. I've left social media now, but I used to be very opinionated there (determined to change the world!)... but in fact over the last few years my own opinions have changed a lot, and I cringe now about how confident I was about everything. I think probably quite a lot of people come to channels like this one to tune out from the 'angry internet', and connect with something quieter and calmer. I was watching a knitting podcast recently, and when she started getting political I turned off. I agreed with her, but it's everywhere and it's too much. Of course, it's your channel and you can take it in any direction you like! Those are just my thoughts 🙂 (and you'll always be my Kangoo inspiration!) x
The way you live your live your life shows your values and beliefs. There is no need to get on a soap box and broadcast your values. We can see it. Share only what you are Comfortable with. Your channel is a safe peaceful oasis. I have been with you since Pam the van day and I m still here because you inspire me to do more to create my own urban oasis. So dont feel pressured to speak on every thing that's happening in the world. It's your channel and we are privileged that you share your life with us. Re: bike...sell it and use the money for another project. There will be other bikes up for sale. You never know what the future holds. ❤
When I was growing up, I had it drummed into me to never let my left hand know what my Right hand was doing, I still always remain as private as I can, if you share stuff, then expect the world to see it, If I asked you to stand in the town where you live and shout you name, age, email address etc, you would say no way, So many people tell the world everything on social media , but they are dangerous places, online fraud is so high now and bullying etc, well the way to stop it all is dont do it. Please Marina, I have followed you for years and chatted several times, say to yourself "Do they really need to know", try to remain as private as you can be. take care and thank you so much for all you do for nature and animals, your an Angel.
Softly informative is lovely. An insight into your lifestyle and your thoughts. Showing more plant-based meals is far more encouraging, to me, that someone ranting or demanding or judging others . . .
You are a beautiful person because of the consideration you extend towards others, humans wrt ethical clothing, all living beings including animals, and nature and our environment of course.
Just share what you feel comfortable with. I love your content, your love for animals, nature and travel and the way you are in your videos. Don't over think it. Not necesarry
Marina, I appreciated your video and heartfelt thoughts. I love your channel and I have shared it with my daughters along with your jewelry. And thanks to you I found Jonna Jintons' channel. I feel it is really up to you what you share. I feel having an open mind is essential to discussion. I also understand not everyone is of that persuasion. thanks
oh, and with the bike... maybe a sidecar is the answerer, like you mention. it clearly gives you so much joy to ride. even if you take it out for a couple of hours here and there, might be worth it to keep.
I enjoy your channel because you are a creative, fun, interesting and adventurous young woman. It's your channel and you should be able to share anything you want to share without having to worry about those few people that will complain about everything no matter what. Personally, I appreciate learning things about how you live your life. That's why I watch! You are gracious to share so much with your audience. I'm not vegan now but was once. Your food always looks so good and healthy. I would love to see you share some of your favorite recipes.
Marina you can tell us anything, especially what sustains and energises you. As a Chef, food has been my focus for over 45yrs. Many who dont understand a Vegan diet, ethics and composition have difficulty imaging how to make a constant supply of edible, plant based food, from "scratch" for themselves and/ or family/friends. Most would be overwhelmed. Maybe thats a starting point, recipes and sourcing food.😊
I think anyone who has been following you for a while cannot help but recognise and appreciate your values and beliefs, that's why we keep following you...
I agree.❤
And me❤
This!!❤
I totally agree! 💯
Totally agree ❤
Share only what you are comfortable with. Private is private. We love you anyway.
I think you are fully living your values and anyone who has followed you for a while probably knows what those values are.
Actions speak louder than words!
🥰
I was thinking just the same... show don't tell is often more effective.
@wildshegoes I was just about to leave a comment saying the same thing. I watch your channel for a variety of reasons, one being how your values come through. I do like watching channels with more outspoken people too, like Leena Norms and Laurenandthebooks. You are all very different but there's a similarity in your channels that's not immediately apparent and I think although you aren't as vocal about issues, you get a lot across to your viewers in your own way I think 🙂

The way you live says it all. You are so positive, willing to learn, wonderful to dogs... I could go on and on because watching your channel is so inspiring. I don't mind if you share or not, your values come through anyway. Anyone can see that your heart is in the right place. ❤😃
For some reasons it was very clear to me, you are vegan (or at least vegetarian). You can tell by the way you live and how much you value nature etc. Go girl!
Marina, your non-confrontational way of being in the world is of great value. You bring joy and peace to many with what you share online - the world really needs this. Also, think what Marie Kondo would say about your motorcycle, "Does it bring you joy?" It so obviously does! I'm sure you will find a way to have it in your life with Vongola.
Seeing Vongola jumping around, tail wagging, so enamoured of you warms my heart!
❤️❤️❤️
I thought exactly the same thing! Keep the things that make you happy. When you use it only twice a year, you will be so happy those two times :-)
Have you ever thought that your videos ARE making a difference? In a world that can bring so much concern, I watch neutral videos like yours, and I get a reprieve along with inspiration. You are a platform and you are using it well. I learn how to be brave, do it yourself and dont sweat it if not perfect, to treat people kindly, enjoy the good, look on the bright side, etc. This is all about who you are. Leave it at that and keep things happy. People are not going to change just because I voice my thoughts....and you won't bring change to people by voicing yours. You are changing the world, by showing. Thank you. 😊
This is lovely thank you.
@@WildSheGoesTell me one thing you liked everyone's comments except mine...
Why?
@@WildSheGoes I totally agree with @pt8019. Wise words!
Just a random feedback from an Eastern European: I started to watch your videos for your Kangoo camper, and stayed with you for your personality. So it’s irrelevant if you’re real vegan or not. As long as you share your real opinions on any subjects, I stay with you. Thanks, Peter 🇭🇺
I've watched you (your vlogs) making jewelery, repair the car, bike, van, renovating your house, making furnitures, buiding the garden, fostering dogs..and now this.. you are a very multi talented woman marina. That is why we (followers) love you.
♥️♥️♥️
Personally, I try to avoid all the worldly talk and opinions because it’s all so stressful so I deliberately try to find a more peaceful environment which is why I enjoy your videos. Watching you explore and create is the best.
As so many others have stated here, what you share is your business. I’m 64 and learn new things from you! The more of a stance you take, the more likely you get resistance from those who have an axe to grind. That’s yours to decide. My daughter now weaves baskets because you showed how to do it. I’ll still watch because I enjoy your insight and authenticity. Love to you and your new boy! 🤗
Ahhh that makes me so happy! 🌲🌲🌲
You are not bland, you are very interesting, what you choose to share, is totally your call, i have thoroughly and absolutely enjoyed your content, you also have inspired me to do more for myself, i am 66 and live alone, so i do need to step up more!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Actually, the reason that I enjoy your channel is that you provide an escape from all the rest of the content out there that can be so divisive at times. I love catching up with you and seeing you transform your home with your many projects. You are truly a "renaissance" woman. That said, would love to see your "goulash" recipe video and other vegan meals that you prepare.
❤️❤️❤️
From all my years of active activism I’ve learned that example just being whatever you believe without hiding is the most effective guidance to real internal change in others.
For example, the depth of your kindness, patience and acceptance of the dogs in you care, I had never seen that before. And you showed it to me video after video without scripting or film making or maybe even intention. You were just being you and I followed you into a new depth of experiencing and thinking about humans and domestic animal relationships.
Ok i'm crying now 🥹 Thank you. I often feel I should be more of an activist, do more, say more, participate to events or discussions etc. I guess activism does not all look the same and we need all kinds of people to tackle issues in different ways.
The love that Marina just portrays for her (foster or not) dogs and nature touches me more than any (patronizing) activist could ever do.
@Wild She Goes • Why not compromise? Keep your full-length videos as a safe haven. Use shorts for "issues." You can turn off comments so you don't need to worry about negative feedback, but you will still be getting your opinion out there.
Great idea! Thank you
You do whatver you need to do to feel physically and emotionally safe online. I watch you and other content creators to destress from the horrors of the world. You do you and don't apologize.
I totally agree.
I agree, this content has always been a calming watch and I love the ways you learn the things you need to do
@@andrewfox7861 I think she's really amazing she'll have a go at anything.
I SAY MARINA ''KEEP THE BIKE'' and make time to ride it. You've said you love it.
Why must everything must be so heavy nowadays? We need to get onboard with a lightness of being. You're vegan - that's fine. We appreciate you for who you are. If you worry about your authenticity offending people - that's a real burden!
Dear Marina, as someone who has watched your videos since "Pam the Van" days knows your values and lifestyle choices are unique and true. For anyone who takes a moment to watch your content, it's obvious to see where your feelings lay. In my humble opinion, you don't have to justify or explain anything. Unfortunately we live in troubling times. Wars, climate change, politics and social media all have foreboding dark sky's on the horizon. Personally, I've always watched your content to see a strong, resourceful ( not to mention creative and hard working) woman who has ditched societal convention to live a life that is really hers. In the mega world of TH-cam , your videos have a beautiful signature. I like the music, the never ending projects, the focus on the small details and your love of dogs. My only bit of advise is to keep this channel as you have been doing. I think for many of us it's an escape from the day to day hardships people face. You are a passionate person, let your opinions and feeling be know, but perhaps create another channel to do so. The world, media and politics have become so polarized that we seek, I seek content that just shares your unique journey. PLUS ... as a lifelong motorcyclist, I know the pain and conflict of should I sell or keep a certain special bike. Bottom line for me, if it's not being used ...time to sell. There will always be a good deal on another bike somewhere if and when you decide to do more riding. Maurice

Greetings from BC Canada! I'm a private person as you are. However, I love sharing
information when I do research, especially on DIY projects, as well as sustainability in
all aspects of life. Today I will share how I feel since you requested our thoughts.
I say and do what makes me happy, with absolutely no worries what others think.
Some feel they need to acquire an army of people with the same views, and beliefs to
establish a reality for their own perception, this may be the reason why they strongly impose
on others what they believe to be true. Reality isn't like that.
When we live alone, we come to understand, and discover who we are philosophically, emotionally,
environmentally, politically and spiritually, which can be overwhelming to share with others at times.
Your videos are excellent, same way you are. Blessings.
I understand completely the reason you don’t share. I also don’t share my opinions or beliefs. I’m not a good debater and people arguing with me doesn’t change my mind, it just makes me uncomfortable.
A side car would be so cute! Would you ever consider sharing recipes? The food you make always looks so good!
Get a side car for him.
Yes! I was going to comment the same.
What you eat: don’t care. You do You!
I’m happy just watching you being you. You don’t need to justify yourself to anyone!❤
I think keeping your channel feel good & neutral is why I enjoy your content.
I first subscribed when you had Pam the Van as I was looking at micro campers.
But Im still here ..... 🤔
Providing an escape from the harsh reality of life is as valuable as someone openly standing up for what they believe in.
It all depends on what you feel is right for you and your channel. Keeping in mind that you can make small changes over time to gauge what feels authentic for you and also suits your audience.
All your videos set a really good, warm and friendly tone, which is why I watch them. Maybe just starting to talk about how the world events are having an effect on you but without taking a political stance might be a way to start.
Very good tip!! Thank you.
You share what you're comfortable with. The majority of your life should be private anyway. We love the portion you choose to share with us 🙂
I just loved your adventures, in Pam the van, with odie. Loving what you are doing now. Enjoy life.
If you think your van is not 100% reliable, then having a motorcycle as a backup in case it fails sounds like a good idea, specially in winter. But you also have an electric bike, so that may work out too.
It seems to me if you have a successful TH-cam channel people are going to criticise you anyway! Just keep doing what suits you👍👍.
Post what you feel to be important, the majority of your viewers are here for you, all of you, your travels, your gardening, projects, everything. Online youtube people unfortunately are the target of others who have nothing better to do but look for conflict. I'll never be vegan but people who are that's great for them, I'll also never be tall but I don't hate tall people 😊
Seen people with bikes have a trailer or sidecar and take their dogs with them. All the best whatever you decide.
You are very sweet and no one should complain about how you are living your life.
My husband and I have watched your videos for years now. We love watching your content. When it comes to what you share…only share what you are comfortable with….keeping yourself emotionally safe. Your actions show what you value and that is very positive and refreshing. Love from Australia
Your values are yours and the fact that you have a utube channel does not mean we need to know “everything” you value or not, only what you feel comfortable about. Regarding the bike, we’ll we just got rid of ours after a decade of riding, we don’t use them to justify having them, we have a car and an e-bike so enough to get around. We would love though to see you with your new dog go on short trips in the van, starting with a day trip to the lake?….( once his ear infection is fully healed of course and checking first with the vet.)
You have a nice channel and it feels like escapism for me. And of course you were Vegan! it fits with you. I think sharing a little is fine but don't open the doors too wide I'd say. Keep a nice free and easy life.
Dear Marina, I love your videos as they are, because I do watch videos with strong opinions and I can't wait to see the beauty of yours. For many years I was a vegetarian, then as I got older, my body started craving some meat protein. I follow what my body needs. Stay happy in your element. That's why people love your videos.
Do you ...we will watch. I personally like your content variety. If you feel there is something you want to say, then do it. IF you have doubts, trust your intuitions.
You provide content (which I love). YOU decide on the content. It shouldn’t get dictated by anyone. Look at all these TH-camrs who are burned out jumping through hoops. You do you x
People have no right to all aspects of your life. Be happy, be safe, and just be you 👍
You can get a trailer for the bike and take the cutest dog on earth with you:)
Awww he would be so cute!
Don’t worry how people view you sweetheart! You are doing just fine! Beautiful landscape befitting a beautiful girl! Take off your eyes and bear our sole, and your true pure spirit will shine in this tired and weary world forever. All to be witnessed by everyone around you! Stay happy, stay safe and be true to yourself, as I know you always are
It makes me so happy to see that you have posted another video and to finally have the time to put my tired feet up at the end of the day and to watch it, knowing that I will be serene and fulfilled with whatever you choose to share with us. (I loved every sequence of this video, especially of you sitting out on the table bent over the sewing machine with Vongola at your side).
That's just it. It's YOUR choice. You choose what you wish to share. No explanations needed. Period.
The way you live your life, the projects you have undertaken over the years, all the decisions made (be they large and small) speak volumes. They represent your values. Those who follow you know this and love you for it. ❤❤❤
Thank you Rosanna ❤️ hope you are doing well!
This is over 25 years. First I was a reduced meat eater, then drifted to being vegetarian, then found dairy didn't agree with me so I cut that out. Still eat fish though. More recently found I was eating too much carbohydrates, so I tried to up my protein by eating cottage cheese. More recently I've started eating high quality beef now & then.
But who really cares ...... 😂
The cows do i guess. Just saying, i'm not perfect myself.
I am always looking forward for your videos....keep up😊
We all follow you because we enjoy your honesty and respect your privacy so you should share what you feel is comfortable and right for you. Your personal life is no one’s business but your own. We enjoy you sharing with us what you are working on in your beautiful home and with your fostering you amazing doggies and adventures. We all wish you the very best. ❤
I agree about how it can be tricky sharing enough but not too much on your channel. It can be so easy to unintentionally offend someone, and people become brave behind a screen. They will say things online that they would never say to your face.
One can be known not only for what one includes in one's life but what one leaves out. We are all different . We don't have to agree on everything for us to be friends❤❤Btw I've been a vegetarian for 30+ yrs. Statrted out militant but now more willing to observe shades of gray as well. I am thrilled you share what you share- so fun and interesting. Your love of dogs mirrors my own. Bless you for trying to tread peacefully in an often unpeaceful world
Evening Marina, I like many thousands of your fans are probably screaming at the screen saying, 'Sidecar' for the bike and Vongola!! No need too sell, just make an addition! As for your fear of talking about what you like or don't like, many of us that have followed you for a long time or even the beginning, we are here because we appreciate your style, your presentation and content what ever that maybe,those who wish too attack those values you hold dear can keep their opinions to themselves.
Another great relaxing and informative video....P.S...(SideCar!!) LoL. Health@Happiness to you
I enjoy the peacefulness of your life and everything you share. Feel free to share as you wish, but it's perfect as it is.
No end to your talents. It is always a joy to see what you are up to.
This quote from Abraham Verghese’s novel The Covenant of Water may be helpful if you are still undecided about sharing your views: “Sometimes we have to “live the question,” not push for the answer.” Your videos have been so wonderful! I have loved what you have shared, and also how you have kept your privacy. ❤
20+ years is crazy! Tell us more about the differences you may have experienced along the way!
Personally, I’d love to hear more about the real you- but understand your hesitancy!😊
I can't express my relief when you said you were making cleansing pads, after cutting circles while talking about making pants. I was genuinely confused as to how you made pants from circles 😅
😂😂😂😂
As you get older, you one day won’t give a crap about anyone else thinks and you’ll feel free to be you. I’m 67 now and I can’t really pinpoint the exact age I was, but I got tired of pleasing everyone but myself and I now live a beautiful life on my own terms. I’m in America and people have gone crazy here so I stay at home and I’ve created my own little sanctuary of peace and beauty. I do allow people in, but they know they aren’t welcome if they even whisper one word of hate towards others. You will learn this too and surround yourself with those who make you feel good.
I agree
I enjoy your videos because of the way you delve into and find pleasure in what comes your way or is important to you in your everyday life. I am not looking to be told what to think or do or to be forced to question myself. When platforms move into political or instructional, do-it-my-way content, they no longer feel personal. It feels like they are playing to an algorithm and they lose a sense of sincerity. You are a calm in the storm. An anchor as it were, in a wonky world. Thanks for all you say and do.
If you really love your motorcycle, I have a couple of ideas. Here where I live, I see dogs riding behind or in front of people all the time on bikes. They usually have goggles on. Lol 🤗 Also, you can always get a sidecar for your buddy. Then he will have plenty of room if you can trust him not to jump out as your going, or put him on a short leash for safety in the car. You could probably even make a seat belt from a doggy vest harness with a little ingenuity. Anyway, just a thought.❤️🐝🤗 About the other… if you don’t like conflict, I wouldn’t go into politics online. There are lots of people who just look for those with differing views to viciously attack. You have a peaceful place here. Maybe make a different channel to explore that? If it gets out of hand, then you can shut it down.❤️🐝🤗
Hi Deborah! I looked into it but sidecars are more expensive than the bike itself and I don't know if Vongola would really enjoy that 😂 He's an old dog! But the thought of him riding beside me in a sidecar with goggles makes me giggle. So cute!!!
@@WildSheGoes awww, that’s a shame about the cost. Maybe a second hand one will turn up. In any case, good luck with it whether you sell it or not.❤️🐝🤗
A few moments that I found particularly evocative from an emotional point of view: this passage where you watch the leaves of the trees dancing in the wind at 13:31; and again at 19:22, you stop playing, the wind is blowing in the background, you cuddling the dog. By mental association it reminded me of the scene in the wind in Tarkovsky's film "The Mirror". Or the ending of the encounter between the protagonist and the girl he is in love with in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "The Wild Pear Tree".
I enjoy 'escaping" the stresses of the world by watching your channel.
Get a trailer 😅 seriously I am so looking forward to you going to Scotland again, your Scottish diaries got me through such a miserable time after my marriage broke up! They were very dark days, but you were a Ray of sunshine for me! I bought a little campervan on the strength of your journey but I haven't been as brave as you yet!
Only share what is right for you xxxxxxx
Thanks sharing. Love hearing about the garden, your dog, and what is going on in your world. Share what you can. Appreciate when others share what is going on in your country and how you feel about it. So creative to make your own underwear and face pads. Cheers.
Share whatever you feel comfortable sharing and always be aware that it's important to keep an open mind because we dont always see the whole picture of things and people.
I'm about to turn 69 and was completely vegan for over 35 years and was also an organic vegan farmer and grower. I had to stop being vegan in my 40s because I developed challenging food sensitivities to all beans, lentils and legumes, as well as many nuts and seeds except almonds. I was already coeliac. I still don't eat dairy but have to include fish in my diet now.
I brought my four kids up on a largely organic, vegan diet. Two still don't eat dairy but my older daughter is an organic, regenerative, minimum tillage, dairy farmer. She and her husband now run an award winning cheese and butter company. I have had to learn not to have fixed views and instead have been learning that things in life are often complex and nuanced.
The land my daughter farms is all river valley water meadows which cannot be used for growing arable crops and can only be used for cattle. Also, they do not buy in any animal feed for winter. Instead they grow herbal leys, rich in nutrients, that they cut and make into silage and haylage for winter feed. They also generate all the electricity for the whole farm and cheese production. They even feed the cattle a herbal mix to reduce methane emissions.
I have learnt a lot, that there is room in this world for many ways of doing things and being, that are still sensitive and respectful to the natural world and planet, and to who we each are as individuals. There is no one right way, instead there are countless unique ways.
I love your videos and have been watching them since you bought your Italian home. You are a real inspiration. Much love to you.
Yes to this! It's not all black and white. To me what's important is not convincing people to be vegan but to let them know how the system works so they can then decide. I think the majority of people have no idea on how their meat is grown and what is the impact of a high meat consumption on the planet. I know from experience, people still think that cows always produce milk no matter if they have a calf or not. Or think that most cows live a happy life on green pasture grazing. My hope is that when people have the data they can make a much more informed decision on how they consume. I think being vegan is one (imperfect) solution, not the only one
Hello, you may consider painting the lower part of the trunks with natural lime to protect the trees against climbing insects.
Oh wow! I will do!!
I've been away so caught up in my world, all your videos are calm and peaceful, keep producing gold. 🤔💯
I love your channel because you share that part of your life that YOU feel comfortable sharing. I appreciate that you want to avoid conflict, that is how you care for yourself. If there is something you want to talk about that might trigger others, you will probably need to ignore any negative comments, perhaps this will help you grow stronger in your ability to navigate outside agitators. BUT having said that, in my opinion you should only do or say what you want to-I will love your channel and creative spirit no matter what you post.
Thank you Laurie!
Speak from the heart and you'll never be wrong. And the banjo sounds great! Keep up the great work! ❤ 🎉😊
I’m personally not vegetarian/vegan for a variety of reasons. HOWEVER, that does not mean I am not interested in learning about your choices!
That said: it is Your Life and Your Privacy and I totally understand the need for self-protection.
I am grateful for all of the excellent content you provide and I am happy to be with you on Patreon too 😊
Wow. Is there anything you can't do?!? Such an amazing lady. You keep on going, wild as you can.
I gave your jewelry as a birthday gift to my daughter . The necklace and bracelet are so beautiful and special, so THANK YOU, she really liked them.
I've been following you for a while and I know you are vegan. Thank you for your kindness towards ALL living beings.
Definitely understand the need for boundaries online, but still here to encourage you to share your opinions if you feel like it!
One more comment. :)
You inspire, because you live.
Sadly, I think most of us are coasting.
And what you share fills our hearts and guides us - *reminds* us of what we want in life.
Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Hi! I started following you knowing that you were a vegetarian/Vegan.I follow other vegans as well. It's my way of supporting my kind of people as I am a vegetarian my whole life and a vegan for 12 years because I love all the creatures on earth.
Love your videos and wish you happiness in life.
I think you’re doing brilliantly just as you are. If you want to share your opinions, that’s great, but I love the neutrality and calmness of this channel. I’ve been following you since Pam the van and sweet Odie.
If it‘s either/or then sell the bike and go to Scotland.
I just got back and am planning to go again. I went in a van, I got inspired a few years ago by an authentic girl living in a van she called Pam.
I do appreciate why you hold back, and it‘s your right, but selfishly I would love to hear more of your opinions. I think you have a very special mindset and a lot to offer by sharing it. But protect yourself first. Only you can know where your borders need to be. ❤
Ahh Lauren! Hope you had a wonderful trip to Scotland! I do think I will sell it fix the van and go for a trip. I can always save up and buy in again if I regret it 🥰
Just Be You Marina, You Are Honest, Beautiful Inside & Out 🐕💗💐
Hello dear Marina, I'm a new subscriber here. The way you look at the camera, the way you speak, what you eat, what you wear, what and how you create, it is simply hypnotizing and beautiful to me. I feel like I've known you forever.
Who you are, or who you seem to be, it really shows on the few videos that I've seen, which is 3. It is so interesting to see you do art and the way you live your life. We have similar values and I really appreciate this in someone. Most comments seem to point out that if we've been following you for a while we've known or have a very good idea of who you are, but I've seen into your soul right away, and I'm in love with what I saw.
Any time we show a part of ourselves to people, we're bound to receive criticism, good or bad, no matter how pure we might sound or what intentions we have. We simply can't please everyone and it's always a matter of whether we are okay potentially receiving this criticism or if we would rather just not have this feedback when we expose ourselves. I think what's most important here is to simply stay true to yourself.
Remember that no one knows how to take care of you like yourself. I sometimes have those insecurities, but doubting oneself or dwelling too long over these things is what creates our barriers, and sometimes those barriers are not even helping our growth.
But what do YOU want to do? Do you enjoy the unfiltered free talking without having to conceal your values, or would you prefer being on your guard a bit more not to give too much information about your life so that people find less ways to criticize? What makes YOU the happiest?
For my part, I'll follow you for who you are. I hope we can stay in touch, I have a lot of admiration for you.
Love, Alex
Yep I had to let my bike go too 😢 my dog comes first, and we spend time in the campervan travelling uk. Miss the bike, but love my dog and van
Your channel has always been a safe and relaxing place to be for me. Your values are portrayed through your actions. At least, that is how I look at it. Thank you for always inspiring and being considerate in so many ways.
A lady that can sew, ride motorbikes, grow food to eat, renovate a house, travel alone, be honest and caring, is vegan, can communicate with dogs ,and humans and play banjo..... What`s not to like?
Please tell us what you think, we`ll either like it or not. Those that don`t agree could politely explain why. You have an opportunity through your platform, please use it.
Much love from France x
Thank you for Sharing!
Try not to pay attention to any negative post. I enjoy your videos, and your love for animals. I vote keep your motorcycle because you love it. Thank you for sharing your life:) from upstate NY❤
I hope you find the love of your life and build a beautiful family
I'm retiring soon and just realized that my new life will look a lot like yours is now. Travel, animals, yard and house reno/ work, gardening, diy everything, hiking, bike touring, etc (except i live in Canadian Rockies)...I guess actually I already do these things so...lol, life is grand!
Hi Marina. It's a difficult question, but I'll share my honest (gentle!) opinion. The internet is so full of people giving their opinions and being 'activist', that I think now people have one of two reactions to hearing things they disagree with - they disengage, or they react. As you say, everyone has different backgrounds, perspectives, or are at different stages in life where they've learned lessons and their opinions have changed. The chances of reaching people and changing minds online are small, and you're more likely to alienate some followers. I've left social media now, but I used to be very opinionated there (determined to change the world!)... but in fact over the last few years my own opinions have changed a lot, and I cringe now about how confident I was about everything. I think probably quite a lot of people come to channels like this one to tune out from the 'angry internet', and connect with something quieter and calmer. I was watching a knitting podcast recently, and when she started getting political I turned off. I agreed with her, but it's everywhere and it's too much. Of course, it's your channel and you can take it in any direction you like! Those are just my thoughts 🙂 (and you'll always be my Kangoo inspiration!) x
You’re a sensitive kind soul, I just adore all your content, I like the relaxed vibe and hearing nature all around you. Your voice is so calming.
The way you live your live your life shows your values and beliefs. There is no need to get on a soap box and broadcast your values. We can see it.
Share only what you are Comfortable with. Your channel is a safe peaceful oasis. I have been with you since Pam the van day and I m still here because you inspire me to do more to create my own urban oasis. So dont feel pressured to speak on every thing that's happening in the world. It's your channel and we are privileged that you share your life with us.
Re: bike...sell it and use the money for another project. There will be other bikes up for sale. You never know what the future holds. ❤
For some reason I haven't watched a video from you for quite a while and almost forgot how wonderful you are 💚
When I was growing up, I had it drummed into me to never let my left hand know what my Right hand was doing, I still always remain as private as I can, if you share stuff, then expect the world to see it, If I asked you to stand in the town where you live and shout you name, age, email address etc, you would say no way,
So many people tell the world everything on social media , but they are dangerous places, online fraud is so high now and bullying etc, well the way to stop it all is dont do it. Please Marina, I have followed you for years and chatted several times, say to yourself "Do they really need to know", try to remain as private as you can be. take care and thank you so much for all you do for nature and animals, your an Angel.
Softly informative is lovely.
An insight into your lifestyle and your thoughts.
Showing more plant-based meals is far more encouraging, to me, that someone ranting or demanding or judging others . . .
Share what you want and feel good about it. Privat things don't have to be shared ALL
You are a beautiful person because of the consideration you extend towards others, humans wrt ethical clothing, all living beings including animals, and nature and our environment of course.
Thanks Marina. Simply put, you always make me feel happy. I’m not sure it can get any better than that.
Just share what you feel comfortable with. I love your content, your love for animals, nature and travel and the way you are in your videos. Don't over think it. Not necesarry
Marina, I appreciated your video and heartfelt thoughts. I love your channel and I have shared it with my daughters along with your jewelry. And thanks to you I found Jonna Jintons' channel. I feel it is really up to you what you share. I feel having an open mind is essential to discussion. I also understand not everyone is of that persuasion. thanks
oh, and with the bike... maybe a sidecar is the answerer, like you mention. it clearly gives you so much joy to ride. even if you take it out for a couple of hours here and there, might be worth it to keep.
I enjoy your channel because you are a creative, fun, interesting and adventurous young woman. It's your channel and you should be able to share anything you want to share without having to worry about those few people that will complain about everything no matter what. Personally, I appreciate learning things about how you live your life. That's why I watch! You are gracious to share so much with your audience. I'm not vegan now but was once. Your food always looks so good and healthy. I would love to see you share some of your favorite recipes.
Marina you can tell us anything, especially what sustains and energises you. As a Chef, food has been my focus for over 45yrs. Many who dont understand a Vegan diet, ethics and composition have difficulty imaging how to make a constant supply of edible, plant based food, from "scratch" for themselves and/ or family/friends. Most would be overwhelmed. Maybe thats a starting point, recipes and sourcing food.😊
Keep being you!
I LOVE your channel as is ❤️❤️
Always such interesting and delightful music choices ... thank you.
