  • Hi! I’m Christine 🙋🏼‍♀️ After working for many years in sales and business ownership, I felt major burnout 😵‍💫 I sold my houses, extra cars, and most of my belongings. Now I'm happier than ever having very few material things. I travel living out of my vehicle with my old and blind best friend, Chase the Dog 🐶 We roam the USA looking for adventure, food, and fun! I'm never sure what the future holds. Join the adventure and find out with me! 🤩
    In this video, Chase and I unwind in the beautiful towns of Daphne and Fairhope, Alabama🧘🏼‍♀️

    I love the calmness and beauty of this video. And cute Chase! Thank you for reminding us that we all need to take time to slow down and spend time taking care of ourselves and to look more closely at the beauty of the world around us!

    Nice job finding places so cool and calming! No one at that pier...or beach. That's the kind of decompress we all can use! Love the little bits about each place/town as you're visiting...sorta gives the feel that we are along with you. I agree about walks among trees/boardwalks, etc.

    Hello Christine I honestly have no idea how or why one of your videos pop up today but I'm glad it did.
    Chase is an absolute gem of a campion it seems and your lifestyle has me a little envious lol. I would love to hear what made you start living this way and how long you've done it. I was actually at the Alabama Point Park Beach about 3 weeks ago myself and that's the first video I watched of yours today. It truly is a beautiful place. Glad I found your channel you find the most cool places. Sorry to go on and on but I wish you all the best.

    Even I feel decompressed after watching this ☺ Thank you Christine and Chase for reminding us that we need to slow down, smell the roses as they say, and enjoy the beautiful nature that is all around us. Definitely adding Fairhope to my bucket list long with many other cute little towns you've shared with us

    Someone probably answered this question but that cool tree (or bush) with the red brush looking flowers is called a bottlebrush tree. I grew up in California (SF Bay Area) and we had a tree just like it and seeing it on your video sure brought back some great memories of the family home ❤

    I agree with you on the part of the video about Mardi Gras and all the debris and waste that is left behind. I actually complained about this a very very long time ago and found out that they have a machine that goes around to pick up all the debris and waste and all of it is recycled and put to good use. I know, this doesn't necessarily pertain to your video but just a little "fyi". Hope you have a great day and as always safe travels!!!!!!

    Another fun video. your beach time and walks were so relaxing. You seem to eat so well. If it was me I’d be stopping at fast food places for breakfast and dinner every day. I do worry about you and pup sometimes when you’re all alone on walks and at the beach
