Honestly, how hard you work inspires me. Van life is not easy, and filming everything you do -- setting the camera down and then walking back to it, editing, writing a podcast. All of that is a lot of work! But you were able to make it work.
That moment you shared with Akela (your heads together) made my heart so happy. I’m glad you have each other. I wouldn’t be able to do solo travel without my dogs; they mean the world to me. And we can see the love you and Akela share as well. Love ya’s! ❤️❤️
OMG Linnea..... 8:01 My heart melted when you moved your arm & she threw hers on top of yours ....she said "I love you Mom"! I HEARD it all the way on the east coast! 🐾 ❤ 🐾 ❤ I've never seen so much love between a human & their fur baby & not so much as the human but from your fur baby. Akela LOVES you SO MUCH & your love for her is just as evident in every video.
Hi kiddo!! I can say that because I'm coming up on 60 in June. Life is full of surprises and possibility. I hope for great things in your future. Remember to keep away from users, scammers and covert narcissists. Ask your counselor about how to spot them because they are very flattering at first. You are a shining light and I don't want anyone to diminish that. Don't waist your precious time playing their game or even trying to defend your integrity against any slander. When this happens don't take the jealous jabs personally. Just walk away. Remember you are blessed😎
I bet you slept like a baby after you got everything done, candle light, glass of wine and time with Akela. You two are beautiful in every way. Thank you for sharing. 💝💝
This is going to sound odd, but I love watching you move your healthy body. I used to be healthy like you, but I got a spinal cord injury 7 years ago and I now lay in bed most of the time in pain and stuck. At least my bed is in my van so that's something. Watching your videos allows me to live vicariously and remember who I used to be. Thank you 💖🚙🇨🇦
As a former film student this was possibly your best looking vlog yet! Your really getting good at this. Quick tip if you don’t mind me adding. Purchase a cheap variable ND filter for your daytime activities. It will keep your shots from being over exposed and show the true beauty of the landscape. A quick TH-cam search will show you how to use it and a cheap one to buy. 😊 Thank you Linnea for taking us along your journey and giving us more of Akela in this episode. It was so heart warming !
OMG - it would take me 7 or 8 days to go that far, with extra pee brakes, my afternoon naps, and not being able to drive at night, because I cannot see. You go girl! Please be safe and RELAX.
“Sometimes it’s good to do things when you don’t want to.” Definitely. I struggle with agoraphobia and anxiety a lot and I had been pushing myself to get out of the house and go on drives in my car until recently when I got hit by a truck. I’m still recovering and now even more scared to leave my house but your videos always encourage me to push myself while also being patient with my growth because it takes time. Thank you for sharing your day and being such a positive influence in my life. Hope you have fun and stay safe! ♥️ Kisses to Akela x
Being a Dog Lover, my heart melted at 7:45 to 8:07. Akela is such a good girl and loves her momma. I know that drive all to well, it will wear you out. You take good care of yourself and if you don’t feel like doing it, don’t!
Thank you for making these videos from your travels around the country. Seeing you and Akela living your best lives on your terms, enjoying the beauty in nature, exploring, learning and finding happiness in the simple things we often take for granted makes me happy too. I wish you safe travels. 😊
Can someone explain why I cried at the part of you and Akela cuddling and having a moment 🥺 also, I adore a day in the life from you guys, such authentic real vibes every time. Thank you so much for sharing your journey 💛🙏🏻
LOL I was going to recomend the ferminator brush but you have one already :D When I had my dog boarding business my clients were amazed that their babies didn't shed after being at my house
I am so proud of the courage it takes for you to share you life with others. Akela is your soul dog for sure. I just found mine too. A two year old German Shepard named Storm. Thank you for all that you have shared. It has helped me immensely!
Beautiful fur baby! The only thing holding me back from selling my home and going on the road is my cranky 11 yo retired k9. She is sooo dog aggressive 😩💙🖤
We don't live out of our van but we just spent 3 weeks in Florida this past January...We found out pretty fast that it doesn't work well unless you keep up on the cleaning and organizing. Love the setup!
Can u do a video and show how u make your coffee with the AeroPress. I have one but haven’t used it yet. Hate to waste and I know I would make it so strong I couldn’t drink it. Lol. Thanks. Oh and get a $1 flip flops for shower shoes. You don’t want something AJAX won’t take off. (My grannies sayings). Lol
I’m glade you taking care of your self nobody really understands how stressful this lifestyle Is and especially the driving long distance part of it and you have shown all the ups and downs and that is what I like about your Chanel.
This is so realistic and it makes me like it even more, because we’re humans and we get through this kind of stuff often enough but some youtubers don’t show that, what im tryin to say thanks for ur honesty and for the inspiration
Have to say watching your videos is my therapy. It’s nice to see another Vanlifer going about there life and running into the same real vanlife situation. Stay safe and see you again ✌️
I miss the desert so bad, i lived in apache junction for almost 10 years, woke up every morning to superstition mountain in my back yard. You are absolutely stunning! So much love and positive vibes sent to you two beautiful nomads😘
I know exactly what you mean about those big white dogs I used to leave to go to work for 8 hours and come home and thank goodness I had hardwood floors but it looked like it snowed in my house but they're worth every bit of it 😁😉🐝
I bet Akela was such a cute puppy! A little white poof-ball. 🤍 I had a white American bull dog. He had black eyeliner around his brown eyes, a black nose, brindle dots on his ears, and a brindle spot where his tail met his body. He was the love of my life. He also shed a lot and that fine hair got stuck on everything. All over my car, the couch, blankets, etc. but love is stronger than pet fur. Lol! 😄🤍
Banging out those long hauls covering ground are rough. But worth it. Your shares get better and better. Thanks for sharing so much of your journey. You're keeping it real
You are such an inspiration and your content is so real and honest. I hope you and Akela gets to visit the mountains of Southern Cali. You both would loved it.
I love the desert, too. The Australian desert is a place where I can breathe. Love the images of the cacti and beautiful horizon in this week's vid. Thank you Linnea... and Akela. : )🐾🏜
Whatever your adventure is you never fail to inspire me. I am halfway through The Comfort Crisis and I only received the book on Friday, a fascinating read, so thank you 😊 Have a great week ahead
I watch and am subscribed to your channel I also watch you on Facebook thanks for being an inspiration not only to the younger crowd but to the older generation. It gives people of all ages an insight to van life and boondocking and all the beautiful places our great country has to offer. Thanks for being as open and honest about life on the road and life with a pet. God bless and keep you safe.
Nice video Linnea so sweet Akela was snuggling up to you and put her paw on you, Happy you made it back safely to Arizona, Love your confidence, and how you push yourself do things even though you were so tired from such a long drive . Bet you slept well that evening . Your a real inspiration to everyone in all you do . I love the way you live your life being free to go where you want your mom brought you up well to be self sufficient., I wish i had been brought up the same way and had your confidence . Now at 64 , i want to do much the same as you . Lovely video take care of yourself . Ontario.
Take care of your nervous system Linnea! I love that you push yourself and have grit but also know when to push and when to pull back before you burnout. Much love
Love the part that you were able to work out. We're almost done with our van build and we tested it over the weekend. It's getting more real now for us. We are excited to go places. We hope we could make friends on the road. Take care!
Another excellent video! I'm so inspired. And Trek says "hi" to Akela. He's sitting here chewing on his tennis ball watching your videos with me. :-) Question: Where do you get your music? I love your selection, and I'm also curious about how to use commercial music in my own videos legally. Thanks!
Hello. found your videos today when looking for how to hook up puke lights. Took my shower out and had to reconnect my lights. your site was the best explained. I have a black Sheppard. She hasn't started loosing her winter coat yet. Not looking forward to it though. Have a great day. Cant wait to get back out there. :)
❤️ thanks for sharing a little bit of yourself with all of us. Finn also randomly throws up, usually it's because he refuses to eat plain dry food (which is down for him all day long) and waits until dinner to inhale it when I mix it with his wet food lol. I laughed when you talked about it getting hot there because I was trying to get away from the heat and went to far, it's sleeting in NM right now lol earlier it was snowing. Definitely over shot that a bit haha. Side note, you go hiking in sandals? In the desert? 😳😂

Nico 😙😍😘🤗
You show more love for Akela than I've seen some people show their young children. Love it.
Thats true i was feeling the same thing love the way she look at her dog 💕
I was thinking that. I have 2 fur babies and they are my kids…my whole world so I love seeing how she loves that gorgeous baby.
That moment you shared with Akela (your heads together) made my heart so happy. I’m glad you have each other. I wouldn’t be able to do solo travel without my dogs; they mean the world to me. And we can see the love you and Akela share as well. Love ya’s! ❤️❤️

Priceless…… @8:01 Akela put her paw on Linnea hand aww….

SAME....but I'm DYING for a van or short bus!
You are such an incredible, remarkable, inspirational and driven woman. Keep doing what you're doing. You should have a million subs! Well done.
DOG & YOU -- Nothing better than that and a cup of coffee -- Now I have to clean my pig pen up !!

Pee breaks and stretching your legs are two very good things.

Akela is a perfectly lovely German Shedder.
Have you tried using a shop vacuum on Akela? Maybe a carwash vacuum? or maybe a Leaf Blower out in the wild somewhere. Just ideas for you.
Love the connection you have with Akela. It's heart warming.
Right....their love for one another just exudes in every video but even more so in this one!
One of your best videos. The love between you and Akela melts my heart.
I love how much you love Akela and how she loves you back.
I love to watch you play with Akela. Cuddle her too. So sweet :)
Thank you for making these videos from your travels around the country. Seeing you and Akela living your best lives on your terms, enjoying the beauty in nature, exploring, learning and finding happiness in the simple things we often take for granted makes me happy too. I wish you safe travels. 😊
good for you-get rested up/thanks much
I normally don't watch videos all the way to the end, but your video kept my attention to the end. Great editing work!
Sundays are better with your videos. You are such a lovely human being 😘

My Gypsy sheds 24/7/365! I feel for you in a smaller space!
I think both our dogs were ppl in another life bc my dog acts similar to yours

That was an awesome video. Get some rest and just keep enjoying life. ❤️
This is the sweetest video I've seen in a long time. How wonderful to watch the love that you and Akela have for each other. Thank You for sharing.

Such a beautiful cuddly puppy dog❣🐕❣
I am currently drinking tea on a rainy day watching my current favorite channel on TH-cam.
This is so sweet. Thank you ♥️ I hope you are enjoying your tea! Sounds lovely.
@@Linneaandakela i really do enjoy your videos. I hope to one day travel with my cat Ruby.
Welcome to Arizona! Are you up near Lake Pleasant? That area looks familiar.
I miss the desert so bad, i lived in apache junction for almost 10 years, woke up every morning to superstition mountain in my back yard. You are absolutely stunning! So much love and positive vibes sent to you two beautiful nomads😘
Spring time in the desert…so very lovely…thank you for taking us on the walk ✨🌵
Love your videos!! Worst part is when they end❤
Hey Linnea…I love Arizona…love the desert landscape! Not so much in the summer! My buddy Akela…I hope you know how much Linnea loves you.
Thank you for opening up about your experience with therapy. So many people avoid it to avoid the "stigma".
You're a brave woman to live in your Van. I give you a lot of faith for what your doing.
I know exactly what you mean about those big white dogs I used to leave to go to work for 8 hours and come home and thank goodness I had hardwood floors but it looked like it snowed in my house but they're worth every bit of it 😁😉🐝
Akela sure loves you.seems like a great dog.
Thanks Linnea , was nice to see you's two again Be well
Reg in Canada in Eastern Canada .
Sharing yor life with a dog or cat is just the best..
I bet Akela was such a cute puppy! A little white poof-ball. 🤍 I had a white American bull dog.

He also shed a lot and that fine hair got stuck on everything. All over my car, the couch, blankets, etc. but love is stronger than pet fur. Lol! 😄🤍
Dogs blowing coat!!! Oh yeah! I've had Australian Shepards and a Siberia Husky and I know a lot about blowing coats! 😂🤣 Now I have Standard Poodles!
I enjoyed your video and have Great DAY
Banging out those long hauls covering ground are rough. But worth it. Your shares get better and better. Thanks for sharing so much of your journey. You're keeping it real
I am moving cross country in a few months and not looking forward to the 30hr drive. It's exhausting. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely killing it the vlog and the podcasts are awesome 😊😊
Another awesome video, you guys take care.
You are such an inspiration and your content is so real and honest. I hope you and Akela gets to visit the mountains of Southern Cali. You both would loved it.
I love all the beautiful nature you share on your videos

OMG I haven't heard "Brandy" in a while. Got it playing on Echo right now while watching the rest of your video! Love this song!
Welcome to Arizona🌵🦎🪶
Where is this place? I live in Tucson and I’m getting ready to head out and would love to go there. Thank you. Beautiful site and video
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Cool, and like always I loved the video ❤️
I love n enjoy your videos so much n watched every one of them..please don't stop they bring me strength and help me out in this crazy world ❤🙏
Love your videos. How do you choose your music and what are the names
I feel your pain with the Shephard shed. Took us an hour today of brushing and almost a new color presented.
So jealous of what you do! Keep making great content, it's inspirational.
I love your videos. ♥️
Just bought the same coffee jar from HomeGoods! Love it even more now! 😂
Much ❤️

When you know the Love of a dog, you have lived
