Really love this woman just a free spirit and not afraid to live.
She kinda reminds me of Jenelle Eliana
Until she goes home on Monday.
You are so beautiful ❤️
Omg I just found her and I feel the same way after watching a few videos like u have room in that van for one more 😅
Hello again from another Nomad, lost my car so now staying with a friend but currently saving to get my next camper to do my next adventures with ❤️🔥 much love to you girl and congrats on the new van!!
Thank you, I hope everything goes well for you!
AHHH YOU ARE IN MY FAVORITE PARK! This place is a gem if you love the western nature of Texas the river is so nice and cold. The hiking is golden, the vibes are high, I would live in that park if I could. If y'all a vibes person, the vibes of the Guadalupe river is giving ancient native vibes. Soo good! And when your there on a clear night the starts are Soo clear. I love it!
IT IS THE BEST! Totally misjudged it in the beginning!
I’m not even from Texas and this review has made it a must see for me now.
what park is this
@@Yvies210 Guadalupe River State Park
You’re not a real Texan until you’ve floated the Guadalupe with a cooler on an innertube tied to your raft.
This is real, and this how it really is. There’s nothing wrong with starting van life in a brand new van, or RV or a big old camper, if you can afford it, that’s fantastic. But I follow your channel because you took what you had and made it work in a little car and then Stevie and you did what you had to do and now you’ve reached this awesome place. You have a new van, afforded by your hard work and dedication to the Lifestyle. This is really Van life. This is earned. and I love it. I love my minivan! And I am really happy for you. You’re doin it! Excited to see whats next.
Thank you this is really nice to hear :)
She's back 😊 I'm so excited for this new chapter 🌻
Thank you gorgeous 🥹
Good to see you back at it and on the road again. Wishing you safe travels.
Thank you, I hope you’re doing better :)
@AlyssaVanilla Thanks, been up and down with my health. Hoping to get some answers soon
Your are so right. Acknowledge your feelings and Move on. When things get bad or difficult look at everything you do have!! Not the things you don't!👍👍👍
Its good you can take a little break to think about what you want to do in the future, and decide if you should really continue traveling in your van, or go back to a traditional lifestyle like an apartment or whatever. I am very happy for you to continue traveling and doing TH-cam videos. You may have setbacks, but your independence and self confidence to overcome things is amazing 👍
You make life look so peaceful you are so free sprited❤
So glad to see you back out on adventures in nature! I love camping on "bad weather" days getting the campground nearly to myself. Glad you're getting some peace as you settle into your new vehicle. ❤
WHAT !!! IVE NEVER SEEN AN ARMADILLO THIS UP CLOSE IN PERSONAL EVER! LET ALONE IN THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE ....WOW THEY ARE JUST SO CUTE AND BEAUTIFUL.
You not only went through the saga of Stevie Ray Van but also the stress of buying a new car! That was a lot on top of a lot. I appreciate you sharing your outlook. You nailed it when you said you didn’t want to have to leave a place. I dreaded leaving nature to go back to working in the city. I’m grateful to have a remote job now so I don’t have to leave anywhere anymore.🎉🎉New car adventures!
Alyssa your videos are so so so relaxing and peaceful to watch and I wish you have a best Monday💫🥺💓
thank you mansoor!
I've been a forest girl all my life... that one weirdo that tried to guilt me into giving myself to him at 12 years old at the campfire while my brother and sister slept in the tent, ('since women at meant to love men' and his daughter was only 6! and they were living secretly in the forest... yuck!) did jade me a little. But I didn't get hurt, and got away from him! (Redwood Forest 1976). I am on guard in the forest, but love it more than beach and desert. It is so good to see you back at living how you want. Fine tuning the new Black Pearl Vehicle is fun to watch. You Go Girl!
Glad to see that you are safe and back on the road. Side Note… you have one of the most beautiful smiles that I’ve ever seen. I look forward to seeing more content from you. Be safe out there and try to keep smiling. 🖤
Yes!!! the excitement is intoxicating being in brand new vehicle. Happy trails on your new adventures.🤟🏽🫵🏽✌🏾
omg this video made me so happy!! it's always a great day when you upload!
I loved the shots of the animals and how peaceful this video was, and that quote is really really interesting. super inspiring. keep up the awesome work and exploring girl!
You do have a lot to be grateful for. Your mom is awesome for the support and having your back, no matter what. Not everyone can say that. Ever. Have fun and stay safe on your adventures!
Hi Alyssa, just a short note to tell you how much I enjoy your vids. It's so refreshing to listen to you share your thoughts, hopes and dreams. I'm 69 and only been a part time van dweller for 2 years now, and I have learned so much about your experiences and solutions to probs that may come up from time to time.
You go, girl, and put your shine on each day!!!
Awesome to see you back in nature and the new van.😊
Your sense of humor matched with your editing always catches me off guard in the best way. The dog pooping paired with hello darkness 🎶 gold 😂 3:10
Alyssa, you should get a drone with 4k camera, that way you can get an aerial view of your surroundings for miles of who/what's around you before you spend the night or stop....be safe, girl!!!
Good to see you back in the groove, you look happy, I think the open dessert with it's wide open spaces gives you a more feeling of freedom than the forrest.🦅
Alyssa! I just adore you! You are so self assured and wise beyond your years! It took me till my 40s to come to some of the revelations you have! Ive been on the Carolina coast for a week and now doing some hikes in the Carolinas. I'm so sad to return to IN but I have to finish a job I took on until December. I literally make every new place my "home" and I love that! But yes! Feel your feelings and move on! Safe and happy travels pretty girl!
Everyday on this side of the grass is a gift. Congrats on breaking in your new van. Looking forward to seeing you build it out and making it yours. Safe travels.
HAPPY FOR YOU!
congrats on your upgrade dont u ever worry about mountain lions or crazy people out alone by yourself the worlds getting more and more dangerous hope u stay safe
You are soooo wise! I love your journey & grateful I can follow along ..I’m thinking to get a Ram pro master too ,so fun to see how you build it out 🎉
“Little gremlins” made me laugh out loud!!! 😂😂😂
I am very happy for your new adventures in your new whip. have safe travels. I cannot wait for the next video.
Your channel is my quiet, peaceful place. Thank you. ❤
Yay I can’t wait to see how you decorate the inside
Honestly this morning I was just thinking about you and wondering when you were going to post another video, so glad to see that you had just posted another video glad to see that you're back on the road doing what you love to do. We live in Houston Texas and I would love to know where that area is where you're at standing in the water with the big cliff on the other side that looks like a nice peaceful area definitely would love to go check that out one time. Anyway once again happy to see that you're back on the road and I love your new vehicle can't wait to see when you've completed the build as always stay safe
Hi :) this is Guadalupe River State Park near the hill country. Come over this way! It’s worth the trip!
@@AlyssaVanilla oh okay well yes my husband and I will definitely have to drive out that way and check it out it looks peaceful
See all that stress is now rewarded with new beginnings and adventure. Love that your back in your element. I know that park. Great spot to relax for a bit. You deserve it. Looking forward to future build projects for new van. But nothing wrong with the minimalist happening right now.
I love rivers. More river content!! Your van is so nice too! Taking down the shades before changing clothes sounds like something I would do. 😅
This is how I KNOW I’m rusty lol 😭
Nice calming soothing scenery of the river also the park type setting be safe young lady.
You live in the world that you create in your head. The people around you are just NPC’s.
I like the nature walks, keep them in your videos. Vlogging is good too.
Don’t stop being you.
I been wanting to do what you’re doing for years , as a 33 year old man I must admit you have more balls than me.
Your weak frankie😅
@@CaliKid18 had a really hard life and no support system so working since 16 full time never had the chance to do anything other than simply survive so yea anyone afraid to live free is weak where do you work or pay rent?
@@frankwilliams7639I believe in you. Go out there do it for yourself and for all of us who like you are afraid to let go and be free.❤
If you want to do this, Frank, you'll find a way. I full-time car camped in my Toyota Camry. Don't let this dream go if that's what it is.
That’s why she can’t keep a man.
As a mother and a dog owner, I love how you don't give AF about telling everybody that you'd rather not be around them and their shit(literal and figuratively) 😂. It's honest, and refreshing, because most youtubers would just lie! 😊
Its just so rude! I'm a dog owner and would never leave poop there by someone's campsite. What is wrong with some people?! lol sheesh
Ahhh,,,,for the love of classical music! It got me through college, as well as for thousands of miles driven during my RV journeys! Congratulations again on the new vehicle!👍🏽🙏🏽❤️🤗
When I don’t have my phone plugged in I listen to classical only lol thank you!
@@AlyssaVanillalol I can dig it!🤣.
Also, if you’re in the Vegas area anytime soon and need some build out help let me know…but you do a great job that’s simple and sensible anyhow👍🏽
I am a new subscriber, I found you through Mateo’s channel, I truly enjoy watching how much fun you both were having with one another. ❤❤❤ Please give us some content with Mateo. Thanks 😊 🪬☮️💟😘
Girl as soon as I can I will!
Alyssa is miles away from Mateo and I think he gonna be heading south lol
@@AlyssaVanilla awww thanks for responding, you’re the best. 🦋🫶🏽
YAY So happy to see you back on the road
Love her courage and pluckiness!
You’re an inspiration glad all is well I’m 60 and love life but on grey days here in uk and there’s lots just feel down but soon as I talk to people I’m right back up being happy never dwell on bad days just injoy them as much as possible and always remember better days are just round the corner be happy stay happy what more could anyone possibly need lol have you got a name yet for you’re mobile castle ❤
The park reminds me of the place my Dad and I used to go camping on private ranch land on the Frio river near Leakey, TX (for non-Texans, it's pronounced "Lake-y"). Lots of live oaks, cypress down by the water, limestone cliffs, shallow, clear river. ::sigh:: nostalgia.
Hi Alyssa your video just popped up on my list. After watching you in Arizona I had to explore your channel. I am glad I did it thanks
Hi Alyssa I'm so proud of you doing what you love and seeing you over come everything you've come a long way girl
Thanks for your words of encouragement! You’re a warrior & I am Super excited you’re back on the road again, continue to remain optimistic in your new home and travel, so much is awaiting for you.‼️
Peaceful video! The river was amazing and I share your sentiments about screaming children. Glad you were able to relocate.
YAY! A nice new/reliable vehicle for your adventures!
Good to see you all happy again it would be really nice if you can do a 20 minute nature walk around sometimes
Yay!!! So happy for you 🎉❤
Love your honesty and I don't think you have any bad angles.The footage in the van looks great 😊
Love this area! I’ve never been but Wow! So gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place
I love this life as well, especially with only nature. Thankyou for the beautiful vedeos.
You're a trooper. I went and camped out for the first time the other day and was so happy I did
✨🚐✨Hey there. You totally manifested your new baby. Until you name her I’ll call her Raven 🐦⬛. I remember when you first got Stevie you thought she was too big & you REALLY missed your car. You wanted something in between & in comes RAVEN!!! She suits you beautifully & I’m so proud of you & thrilled you’re back on the road. Hugs & many blessings.✨🚐✨
Oh my gosh yes haha throwback! Thank you so much ☺️
I think your van is so cute. The views out there are amazing! This time of year my daughter goes through seasonal depression. Give yourself grace and take care of yourself. 🙏🏽🤍
You remind me of myself I enjoy peace and can have a blast alone..😊
Looking great in your new house. Watching from Kentucky have fun and be careful. Take care
It's a Beautiful home! I'm so happy for you and I'm looking forward to watching you build it out.
I'll be building out a 1994 Chevy G20 Galdiator van over these Fall and Winter months. If all goes well, I'll move into it sometime next Spring. I'll keep the Toyota Highlander that I've been living in for the past 3 and a half years as a backup home in case there's any serious issues with the van.
Best wishes to you and your new home and keep the videos coming, your content is Amazing!
Girl! You’ve landed back on your feet and then some after the death of Stevie! I’m so very happy for you❣️
Awesome! It looks so nice in there! So happy for you 😀
I really enjoyed the beautiful park! It's a breath of fresh air content, I mean..everyone is always filming in the pacific NW. I feel like what you miss out on in trees and mountains in Texas, you make up for with the people and the food. And I am a native Texan now living elsewhere..so I get a little homesick. Are you near the 'cave without a name'? Because Maria @ Roaming Reckless managed to get a private tour of the cave just after chit chatting with the owner (?) and mentioning she was a You Tuber, and it was pretty cool! If you haven't seen that video I think it has private cave tour in the title. Anyhow, really loving the new whip! 💕
Thank you, I hadn’t thought about that perspective! I know it doesn’t compare to the mountains of west Texas but I’ll get over there soon enough ;) and I’ll have to look that up!
Super happy to see you back in your element! And I am very proud of you for putting on your "big girl panties" and wading through the transition phase🌷
So happy you're back. I missed you.
Watching with my coffee I'm so excited you uploaded ☺️ your videos are amazing and I get so happy once you upload ...glad your bk!!!
low clearance will make finding camp spots where you can get away from creeps difficult, ive run into major issues with creeps in the desert trying to talk to me when I park in the low clearance easily accessible spots. the way to seclusion and privacy is higher clearance
Alyssa glad you’re back in your car. I’m also a native ( south) Texan. Corpus Christi born & Padre Island 🏝️ is where I grew up on weekends. Now it’s touristy. I’m staying with you since Mateo gave you a shout out. Good luck to you.
I love the Texas coast 😻
Congrats!🥳 I could see that when the back doors are open, you could get mosquito netting and create another area. There is a way to switch off the interior lights. Order the manual for your rig it will be helpful.
Yes, yes and yes Alyssa. Glad to see you in your new vehicle - it must be exciting for you! Sometimes are bodies self-protect and allow us to not to fully grasp what is going on until we are in a safe and stable place to do so. Being home with your mom's support was a blessing! Keep on vaning girl......
Happy Monday Alyssa! I am so excited to see you back on the road and traveling! Girl Power! Beautiful view! Continue to enjoy van life and be safe!
Congrats on your new tiny home. It looks beautiful! ❤
I’m so glad you’re back. What fun! I love our adventures 😂😂❤❤
Love the new set up especially the new car wishing you all the best of luck for the future with your new car 🚗 prayers and blessings for you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤
Some beautiful sights there I'm glad you like your new vehicle probably look nice when you get all done with it inside❤❤❤❤❤ amazing still cute
We have to give your vehicle new name?
I learned from this video how cute armadillos are
Ikr 😆
"A new lizard..."
Classic ❤
I love the clips of the river towards the end. I could have slept on that rock. Happy for you and your new wheels. I also love the forest life. Stay safe out there! ✌🏽❤️
Great to see you traveling in a safe vehicle 😀. Look forward to the many adventures 😊.
You know the ones who really love this, safe travels cutie 💓
So glad to see you back and in your new home. It will definitely come together in time.❤
First time coming across your channel today found myself watching all your videos feels like watching a movie love it
I think you look even better in your new car 🥰🥳
Lovely camping area.
You handled everything great!
Safe travels

Luv you girly so happy to see back on the road! Can’t wait to be on the road myself! (& meet you one day) It feels so far away but i am manifesting into my reality 🥹💗
Great video!! Love seeing nature and the beautiful wildlife!! Take Care and Stay Safe.
A song lyric comes to mind
“On the road again” 😊
Happy to see you happy.
I LOVE THAT SONG! That should’ve been the title lol
@@AlyssaVanilla that would have been a great title!! I was singing it in my head the whole video lol
So glad to see u back. Let's get this show on the road 😀
You are doing wonderful. Good to see you happy on your journey
I totally agree with you dear Alyssa 😄😄😄, nature and its quietness and peacefulness are the most…well, except when a bunch of kids screaming break those magic moments in life 🫣😵💫🥴😂, you’re sooooo right. Love the way you feel about nature 🍁🏕️🏔️🌲😍.
First night in your new van down 🎉🎉🎉, yeah 💪🏻👏🏻✌🏼😀
Luv your channel .. I watch all the time ..I meet two sistas like yourself and I'm alwayz impressed on how you all are living my dream
No way, that's the same model van as the one I bought for living in soon (Fiat Doblo)! Very excited to follow your adventures with this one!
Yeah that’s why I bought this one! They are tried and true in Europe and there are so many inspo builds of the fiat doblo!
