I think one of the best things about your channel is you show us there are more options out there if you’re willing to try new things, many times, possibilities most people would not think of.
I bought a chihuahua at a flea market over 10 years ago and he has been the best travel partner ever. I tell people all the time that dog has pooped in more states than most people have been to.
So I just came across your channel like a week ago and after watching this video this morning I'm just really impressed with your resilience and your honesty with everyone. It really is a gift. I also listened to your challenge with the Wi-Fi, and me being in Vegas I thought to just let you know that while I'm not sure how much you make it out here if you ever get into a jam or just want another reliable option you're always welcome to come and use mine if you need it. I make a decent cup of coffee too, and if you ever get into a really tight spot like if the jeep needs a day or two worth of repairs or something I've got a spare bedroom you can use if money's tight. Just letting you know I'm here for a backup plan if necessary. Keep going Victoria, you're doing great!
I can definitely relate to a lot of what you said about depression, anxiety and needing alone time to recharge. Idk if you have looked into what being neurodivergent can entail but if not I would suggest it. I just found out 4 months ago that I definitely fall into that bucket and it’s made a huge difference for me. Stay safe and good luck.
@@TorieRobotHow did I know? Oh wait I’m autistic and prob adhd too so that’s how. Self diagnosed autistic with the help of an amazing therapist. Totally get your aversion to people but maybe you just haven’t found the right people yet.
We know it takes a toll & we have no idea what you went through but we as a community support you whatever your future endeavors are ❤ you are a true example of a strong independent woman
This is my first time seeing any of your videos! I am definitely going to be watching more. I myself am extremely introverted. I rarely am the first to talk to anyone. But I definitely do still get lonely on occasion. Be careful out there in the desert rain. Always go to higher ground if you can!
I'm homeless living in a tent ⛺ in Florida heat,I recently lost everything and most of my family and friends passed away,but I'm taking this experience to grow deeper within,I will be ok as long as I stay positive and keep giving good vibes.😊❤
Someone is pretending to be you on the telegram app. They are replying to comments people are leaving on your channel here. Thought you would want to know💪🏻
its crazy, ive been watching you for so long. and now I think im finally going on my own adventure. I never knew id be at this point in life when I found you years back, but loosing everything I have in my life this year and struggling made me realize I think I really want to do this. I feel called to it, and its awesome that I can come back to your channel and still find your videos useful in a new way!
Great video, just found your channel, southern Utah never disappoints! There is so much to see here, next time you go to Zion try to go on a weekday in the off season...it is one of the busiest NP's!
OMG, I was just at all those places recently but just moved up to Washington for a greener change of scenery. We are separated by generation and sex, but I have been going through those exact same feelings living the same kind of life, visiting the same places. etc. Watching this video blew me away. You are always saying "WE" so I never thought you were alone (when I do that my buddy used to say "wadda-ya got a mouse in your pocket of what?"). Ha, funny the things you remember about people. Either those places have emotions built into the air, or more probably the life we lead just leads to those intense feelings. I really don't know but I'm with you. Finding another to join in and make it better only works with the right person though. Upsetting the apple cart and becoming more of a problem is a likely outcome so leave an exit strategy. Taking chances like that are scary, because what are the odds of mutual bliss for an extended period? I guess you gotta believe in love and go for it, if your young. If not, you might be just tired of the possible negative complications on your own situation if things go south. We all have the ghosts of our past experiences hidden deep beneath the surface, fucking with our optimism. You can be with anyone you want to be with (lucky there) because you are a beautiful woman that could be a model and I'm almost surprised your not working at that for some alternative genre products or something. Changing the subject, your film tech improves with each video. I wanna say a sharper image, great transitions, it's working well for you. You can tell you work at the planning or just have good instincts with it. Life is long, you have plenty of time to figure it out so don't need to stress about the need to rush into anything. BUT our sub-conscious mind hits us with feelings for a reason. Maybe we are straying from our life plan, or who knows why? Thank you for sharing because I feel less alone now.
Awh thank you for such a thoughtful response - it’s a human condition we can all relate upon - the loneliness of wanting to be alone. Yeah I say “we” when I’m filming because I always think of my audience being with me lol Thank you for the compliments- getting better at video is a big goal of mine
Hello Torie, so cool to see you on this adventure, one thing about the Cherokee Jeep is that when on pavement driving over 35 m/hour your 4-wheel drive should not be engaged unless road conditions become dangerous (wet, snow, ice, mood, etc.) and only then engage H-1 reduce your speed once the road is no longer dangerous disengage the H-1 or leave it on if your speed will be up and down 0-40 m/hour. The only time to leave on H-1 is off paved roads, once you are on dirt roads climbing or solid packed off roads stay on H-1 now if you start to slip a bit or drive on sand or snow you can use L-2 locks your differentials meaning all 4 wheels are touring as one and should only be used for climbing on rocks in or out of the water, getting you through deep pack sand, mud, show, it's your go-to for muscle drive its makes driving a bit strange to get use-to.
Haven't watched your videos in few months but was also feeling a loneliness this morning. Thanks for always showing authenticity with your emotions, I find it brave ❤
I've been a nomad my whole life. Loneliness is brutal sometimes, but I feel that dynamic really adds to the sweet of meeting up with old friends, celebrating fellowship, and feeling the love before heading off in our own directions again. That is nomad life in its essence. The stories told during this time of fellowship help widen our collective consciousness-- our awareness of problems we will encounter ourselves one day. We take care of each other from afar that way: by sharing the eternal gift of knowledge. You're doing it right most of the time I see you. Raven says, have a safe journey, and enjoy the world as she will have you.

Victoria, you are great cinematographer 😊 I've just once traveled for longer alone, and honestly I was upset most of the time, except when I met someone. I really admire that you can deal with being alone for prolonged periods of time.
I have been by myself now for 6 years I won't lie it gets very difficult at times but I have used this time to invest in my creative side and to deepen my spirituality which really helps the key is to stay busy a pet is a great idea like the others have said but if you're not a pet person then search for places you would like to visit then find something there that you love to do and engage these are just suggestions and a little encouragement if van life was a dream for you don't quit just yet
OMG GET A DOGGGGGGGG!!! I was in New Mexico last year when the loneliness hit hard and I ended up driving to Colorado to adopt my pup. It was the greatest decision I've ever made. Having a four-legged adventure partner is the absolute best. Safe travels, friend!
Roaming Reckless with Maria and her dog Blue…and Fishing With Becca with her dog Sky, are two experienced female truck camping travelers with their canine companions. They could help Victoria on the subject.
She'd lose a bit of her freedom getting a dog on the road. She likes the desert. In a place like that you can't just leave your dog in the vehicle. She'd have to do something with it every time she went shopping, or even did laundry. Pets on the road are a real pain, unless you have an R.V.
Excellent choice on the desert boots! Several companies made them for the military. I found a pair of Belveders on ebay for $50.00 about 4 years back. Comfortable and still going strong! If you waterproof them go with silicone spray, it'll protect against staining too!
As soon as you made it through that little rain spell and the flash flood you put this calm music in @ 9:07 and the little donkeys Awwwwwww that is the beauty of your videos!!! ☁️💧🌧️🌪️🌬️💦🌥️🌦️🌥️🌤️☀️🫏🫏🫏🐴☺️💖
Ive been following your videos since you took that dare a long time ago to take a bite of that onion on live stream lol that was very funny and that was the first time i saw your videos and at that time i said i love. Im sorry that im shy and i dont text or respond or catch your live much anymore, im battling cancer right now but my Drs say im winning and im about 3 chemotherapy treatments (months) away from being in remission. I should be alot more active after that, i hope.
Hey V R it could be days filled with lack of communication. Enjoy yourself, the internal self as it will give you peace and direction. Stay safe and enjoy the country.
I did the same thing your doing 2 years ago… I went to Lake Havasu from Sedona to escape the heat (and the crazy amount of ATV activity) and camped in BLM around the area. Much nicer as I could just hang out at the lake and cool down. Lots of amenities around and cool parks .. met a few cool people but mostly retirees are there. Good luck! Sometimes being alone is a good thing, as being wrapped up in others Karmas can be detrimental. ❤
Same issues battling needing a lot of alone time also feeling lonely. Also feeling more confident if I have a travel buddy with safety and making sure my pup is good. It would be easier with another buddy for sure. And finding hiking boots in basic colors is ridiculously hard! Rainy days make me more emotional as well. So I really relate with you on these issues. Stay away from the bacteria and the water it in. 😊
good stuff. the music towards the end was classy and matched the scenery. what happened to the national parks happened all at once. One day the first wave of 10,000 per day baby boomers(after ww2) retired. with the same idea. an example is yellowstone park. at 900,000 visitors a year in around 1993 has become 3 or 4 million. zion is so much smaller. In 1993 you would have had any park to yourself. It was an awesome time to travel but,alas, lonely. Much of the land of the usa is so spiritually active, you were in a hot zone around zion.
It's also that the parks were over-advertised, and social media came along and was a big factor, too. Most people had no clue what was in Utah 30 years ago. Even some Northern Utahns didn't really know! Now the secret is out, and you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Being alone can be hard sometimes, but it also grows an inner strenght that comes from getting to know yourself. I know because I've been alone for a few years. You are very fortunate to do what you do. Where I live, travelling alone (or even in a small group of 2-3 people) is extremely dangerous. Enjoy the journey and safe travels.
As a dude that actually prefers to spend most of my time alone to avoid the level of stupidity this world holds i can honestly say, you got allot of ball$ to be out there alone and for whatever reason , this is the path that has been laid out for you... much respect to you...
When I started looking at your videos, last year, I needed time to realize that you are authentic, original and to understand that your traveling is really most of time, traveling alone. Could not understand your fears until I realized that, that you are lonely on road, on resting spots, camping sites and in your Yuki, your only real companion, in this physical realm. But the way you handle all loneliness and fears is something that will make you stronger and more knowledgeable about the things you want, not only things you don’t want. If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight. So use it well, learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it i, an opportunity to get to know yourself, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but you for your happiness, and realize that a little loneliness goes a long way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful, you; my dear Lady Victoria. Sorry for this long post full of stolen thoughts of much wiser people then me, video is excellent, shots, editing, and music, omg, and those new boots, perfecto lol Stay extraterrestrial 👽 P.S. and lots of love, support, good vibes, positive thoughts and remember that even when you feel alone, there is someone, somewhere over the rainbow, and faraway, who’s thinking of you 🫶✌️🌹❤️🎗️🧡💪🩷🤞❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@TorieRobot My pleasure my dear Lady, I am trying my best, and I hope you not only like; I hope it helps, cause we all need sometimes that gentle word, that funny joke, cause we always swing in-between two options; either we are alone in the universe or we are not, and both thoughts are equally terrifying. And I did not wanna scare you, just want to thank you for let us travel with you, share your thoughts with us, let us be part of your big journey, and really don't ever have doubt that someone, let me be selfish lol me, think about you, and hope that you are rocking this world as you can, extraterrestrial.

I am new watching your TH-cam channel I loved 🥰 so much don’t feel sad we all watching TH-cam not alone you have all us watching beautiful TH-cam channel my name is Maria. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Tonight is the first time seeing your channel. You remind me so much of a good friend of mine and her amazing vibe. If you ever reach SoCal, I'm an overlander myself, an altruistic helper thats good with vehicles, can recommend many destinations around Socal you'd enjoy and can host a safe homebase if you cared to explore this western destination (or even reach as far as Baja). Looking forward to more AZ exploration myself so appreciate your content!
North Vegas has some cheap hotels up near Nellis AFB if you're ever in the area and just need a room for a night. Not fancy at all but they might do in a pinch.
My wife and I tried full time RV life. After about a year she had to give up because she got stressed feeling less safe than if she was still living in our house. As you get older it seems to get worse. Feeling safe becomes a priority over many other things.
I was about to suggest looking at Ahnu hiking shoes or boots but apparently they got bought out by Teva. And then for combat boots, the brand I was going to suggest that actually offered women's sizes no longer carries them. WTH? More women than ever are now serving in the military so I know there is a demand for them. Okay, now you are making me miss some of the beautiful scenery out west. I regret not exploring Utah while I was stationed out in NM. Stay safe and try to enjoy the peace and quiet. Take advantage of it to explore what YOU really want today, tomorrow, and in the future, and not to be gaslighted and manipulated by people.
I can TOTALLY relate to this video. As a fulltimer, I know whats it like to wake up to gunshots on BLM, sitting in a library for 8hrs- editing and uploading, being worried every time I had to use the bathroom if my stuff in the library would be gone, dealing with the rain and trying to "wait it out", and trying to "date". but it really is the small things that make it all worth it: that epic view to your campsite, being away from the crowds, and when you have an opportunity to connect to a fellow traveler- it makes you feel alive to hear their story and really cherish what its like to have that "social" element sometimes.
zion is my absolute favorite place!!!!! so peacefull and mesmorizing!!!! Thanks for all the wonderful videos Victoria!!! Stay strong and always safe :)
@@TorieRobot yeah, make it a point!!!! It's a place that will help your mentality, especially on days like this when you're fighting with yourself and confused wether you're on the right path or not. You may just find the answers you seek there!!!! :)
Having a 4 leg friend could help with depression and loneliness but also they can hurt when visiting places cause some places don't allow them in places that's kind of my issue but I would never give my little friends up had for over 9yrs
@@TorieRobot dogs adapt to their human's lifestyle. Likewise, the human changes some things to accommodate the dog. To me, it's a win-win situation! I absolutely love my dog and we do everything together. I hope you rescue a rez dog soon!
Remember many shelters let you check out dogs for the afternoon. Coffee shops have cat cafes. You spend $15 a hour and the funds help feed and care for medical needs. The dog relief play dates are fantastic and do not cost at most shelters. But you can donate ofcourse. Across the United States the shelters are open to playrooms for those the do not allow outside play dates.
I love my solitude. It's better to be alone, than to be in a bad relationship. Finding someone who enjoys everything you do, someone you can get a long with, is virtually impossible. Especially if you're both confined to a small space all the time.
Awesome Video ! You did so well during the storm ! Proud of You ! But tell me, How refreshing was it standing in the sun 🌞 After the storm !? Love and Blessings to You and Yours 🤗🙏 PS : The boots 🥾🥾 are cool
Those were some crazy days with weather, flooded roads, brain eating bacteria, great upload as always.... P.s. your never alone Victoria, we are with you every step the way, take care 😊
Awwww, Yuki sounds great! I'm so glad you got her fixed up, that was a great moove. Its hard to say which is moore beautiful, you or Zion! Thanks for updating, look forward to your next fun video! :=8D
Nice blog and good drone work ... As far as boots get redback boots .. they are the most comfortable and resilient boots on the planet for a reasonable price
went to zion, had to park outside of town and walk to a bus stop to wait 2 hours in line. It may be a great looking place but I'll never go back there.
The most stressful time with dealing with the shots and the weather. Know the feeling of needing someone or an animal. At least, you got your boots. Stay safe and stay beautiful.
Hi ! We just bought a 90 XJ, with 149 on the clock! Live in an old Rv now, but are hitting the road in the XJ, and love the canopy you have! Do you have a link?
One thing that may help you is to think of the rain in another way. Think about how nourishing it is to all life on Earth and how cleansing it is for everything - including your vehicle. It cleanses the air and it comes down in rhythms and rhymes. Lightning and thunder are cool and add negative ions to the atmosphere which are uplifting and energizing to us humans and other living beings. Smell the air during and after the rains and take in all the goodness that life has to offer. ⛈🌦🌧🌨 Then the sun shines again and we feel even more grateful for the warmth and light it provides for us. 🌞 And driving through the rivers in the desert is adventurous and fun. Don't worry, be happy! 🌈 Although there's nothing wrong with some down days and a good cleansing cry either. You've got this, Victoria Rose. 🌹 Cool boot! Great idea getting the men's boots in your size. I looked online and yeah, they're not making women's boots the same as men's at all. That's terrible.
Shoes and hiking. Bending shoes causes surfaces not glued together to slide against each other. Sliding between sock and shoe is good. Sliding between foot and sock is bad; it causes blisters. Footies on top of socks can be good for exchanging foot/sock sliding friction for footie/shoe sliding.
I follow several TH-camrs that live the nomadic lifestyle. You are the only one I follow that does NOT have a pet. My advice: Get one and see that you CAN make it work. I love you.
😊 I live in my van and I used to live in my jeep but you should come down to St George Utah it's warm and it's very pretty and I can tell you the back way into Moab
I only just found you so, don't know if you have or not but.. Fern Canyon in N California near the border of Oregon is quite beautiful. Not sure how accommodating it would be for you but visually it's great. Thanks for your ul's . Take care of ur introvert self. Have a great day, have a better one tomorrow...
Interesting content, only gripe is the free-hand footage that makes the viewer seasick. An improvement would be to set up a stationary camera filming you talking.
Thanks for sharing, Victoria. It sounds like you're really feeling the ups and down right now. The changing of the seasons can have a bad effect on some (Reverse SAD right now, since it's spring). Do you think that might play a part for you, in addition to loneliness? Best wishes, always. ❤
Yeah, it’s interesting what a dramatic affect cloudy rainy weather can have on your mood. I’d imagine being in a car most of the time too really magnifies that. Still, there were a lot of "Wows!" in there too!!
I can relate, just upgraded to Ford transit after living out of Saturn s series for 3 months, n then hhr for almost 2 years. got the transit n set it up easy for living n working for me n my service dog
I travel full time with 6 dogs and absolutely love it! I never get lonely. You have my vote to RESCUE a dog from the reservation;). Love your videos keep 'em coming!
I need to get my grand Cherokee set up like yours and go on the road some and maybe we will meet somewhere sometime. I've been waiting to go out west for years and go out to Moab and some other places to see the country that I protected when I was on active duty Navy for 11 years before I broke my back and received my medical discharge. I wish you luck in your travels beautiful lady.

She'd lose a bit of her freedom getting a dog on the road. She likes the desert. In a place like that you can't just leave your dog in the vehicle. She'd have to do something with it every time she went shopping, or even did laundry. Pets on the road are a real pain, unless you have an R.V.
Excellent choice on the desert boots! Several companies made them for the military. I found a pair of Belveders on ebay for $50.00 about 4 years back. Comfortable and still going strong! If you waterproof them go with silicone spray, it'll protect against staining too!
As soon as you made it through that little rain spell and the flash flood you put this calm music in @ 9:07 and the little donkeys Awwwwwww that is the beauty of your videos!!! ☁️💧🌧️🌪️🌬️💦🌥️🌦️🌥️🌤️☀️🫏🫏🫏🐴☺️💖
Ive been following your videos since you took that dare a long time ago to take a bite of that onion on live stream lol that was very funny and that was the first time i saw your videos and at that time i said i love. Im sorry that im shy and i dont text or respond or catch your live much anymore, im battling cancer right now but my Drs say im winning and im about 3 chemotherapy treatments (months) away from being in remission. I should be alot more active after that, i hope.
I hope the best for you! Thank you for being here so long 🙏🏻
Hey V R it could be days filled with lack of communication. Enjoy yourself, the internal self as it will give you peace and direction. Stay safe and enjoy the country.
I’m good with the relationship to myself haha I need other ppl sometimes it’s normal
It's 1am and I have to work tomorrow. Was going to sleep but nope, there was a new Torie video to watch first. G'night everybody.
I did the same thing your doing 2 years ago… I went to Lake Havasu from Sedona to escape the heat (and the crazy amount of ATV activity) and camped in BLM around the area. Much nicer as I could just hang out at the lake and cool down. Lots of amenities around and cool parks .. met a few cool people but mostly retirees are there. Good luck! Sometimes being alone is a good thing, as being wrapped up in others Karmas can be detrimental. ❤
Traveling full time has to wear on the nerves. Thanks for showing us the different sides of emotion.
Same issues battling needing a lot of alone time also feeling lonely. Also feeling more confident if I have a travel buddy with safety and making sure my pup is good. It would be easier with another buddy for sure. And finding hiking boots in basic colors is ridiculously hard! Rainy days make me more emotional as well. So I really relate with you on these issues. Stay away from the bacteria and the water it in. 😊
Well I’m glad I’m not the only one and my feelings are valid lol
Those boots look great on you. :) Glad you're feeling better now. Those locations you visit are beautiful.
🙏🏻
@@TorieRobot I concur the boots are cute. I hope they are serving you well.
good stuff. the music towards the end was classy and matched the scenery. what happened to the national parks happened all at once. One day the first wave of 10,000 per day baby boomers(after ww2) retired. with the same idea. an example is yellowstone park. at 900,000 visitors a year in around 1993 has become 3 or 4 million. zion is so much smaller. In 1993 you would have had any park to yourself. It was an awesome time to travel but,alas, lonely. Much of the land of the usa is so spiritually active, you were in a hot zone around zion.
It's also that the parks were over-advertised, and social media came along and was a big factor, too. Most people had no clue what was in Utah 30 years ago. Even some Northern Utahns didn't really know! Now the secret is out, and you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
@@automnejoy5308 yep,thats right .
Fantastic video... scenery, insights into various topics. just a fun watch.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Being alone can be hard sometimes, but it also grows an inner strenght that comes from getting to know yourself. I know because I've been alone for a few years. You are very fortunate to do what you do. Where I live, travelling alone (or even in a small group of 2-3 people) is extremely dangerous. Enjoy the journey and safe travels.
As a dude that actually prefers to spend most of my time alone to avoid the level of stupidity this world holds i can honestly say, you got allot of ball$ to be out there alone and for whatever reason , this is the path that has been laid out for you... much respect to you...
When I started looking at your videos, last year, I needed time to realize that you are authentic, original and to understand that your traveling is really most of time, traveling alone.
Could not understand your fears until I realized that, that you are lonely on road, on resting spots, camping sites and in your Yuki, your only real companion, in this physical realm.
But the way you handle all loneliness and fears is something that will make you stronger and more knowledgeable about the things you want, not only things you don’t want. If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.
So use it well, learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it i, an opportunity to get to know yourself, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but you for your happiness, and realize that a little loneliness goes a long way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful, you; my dear Lady Victoria.
Sorry for this long post full of stolen thoughts of much wiser people then me, video is excellent, shots, editing, and music, omg, and those new boots, perfecto lol
Stay extraterrestrial 👽
P.S. and lots of love, support, good vibes, positive thoughts and remember that even when you feel alone, there is someone, somewhere over the rainbow, and faraway, who’s thinking of you 🫶✌️🌹❤️🎗️🧡💪🩷🤞❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I swear you always have such poetic and wise comments thank you friend you are very right
@@TorieRobot My pleasure my dear Lady, I am trying my best, and I hope you not only like; I hope it helps, cause we all need sometimes that gentle word, that funny joke, cause we always swing in-between two options; either we are alone in the universe or we are not, and both thoughts are equally terrifying.
And I did not wanna scare you, just want to thank you for let us travel with you, share your thoughts with us, let us be part of your big journey, and really don't ever have doubt that someone, let me be selfish lol me, think about you, and hope that you are rocking this world as you can, extraterrestrial.
Love&support
I am new watching your TH-cam channel I loved 🥰 so much don’t feel sad we all watching TH-cam not alone you have all us watching beautiful TH-cam channel my name is Maria. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Tonight is the first time seeing your channel. You remind me so much of a good friend of mine and her amazing vibe. If you ever reach SoCal, I'm an overlander myself, an altruistic helper thats good with vehicles, can recommend many destinations around Socal you'd enjoy and can host a safe homebase if you cared to explore this western destination (or even reach as far as Baja). Looking forward to more AZ exploration myself so appreciate your content!
This is great video Victoria, i'm glad you're enjoying Arizona. Stay Safe, and don't break down again😆😆😆😆😆😆💜💜💜💜💚💚💚💚🖤🖤🖤🖤♥♥♥♥✌✌✌✌👽👽
Your cool traveling around free making videos along the way. It's a good way to stay in touch with the world....✌️🙏😘
Love your videos. You expire me so much i can't wait till i can get to go travel. Keep up the GOOD work 👏
I hope I don’t expire you lollol jk thanks!
North Vegas has some cheap hotels up near Nellis AFB if you're ever in the area and just need a room for a night. Not fancy at all but they might do in a pinch.
My wife and I tried full time RV life. After about a year she had to give up because she got stressed feeling less safe than if she was still living in our house. As you get older it seems to get worse. Feeling safe becomes a priority over many other things.
I was about to suggest looking at Ahnu hiking shoes or boots but apparently they got bought out by Teva. And then for combat boots, the brand I was going to suggest that actually offered women's sizes no longer carries them. WTH? More women than ever are now serving in the military so I know there is a demand for them. Okay, now you are making me miss some of the beautiful scenery out west. I regret not exploring Utah while I was stationed out in NM. Stay safe and try to enjoy the peace and quiet. Take advantage of it to explore what YOU really want today, tomorrow, and in the future, and not to be gaslighted and manipulated by people.
I can TOTALLY relate to this video. As a fulltimer, I know whats it like to wake up to gunshots on BLM, sitting in a library for 8hrs- editing and uploading, being worried every time I had to use the bathroom if my stuff in the library would be gone, dealing with the rain and trying to "wait it out", and trying to "date". but it really is the small things that make it all worth it: that epic view to your campsite, being away from the crowds, and when you have an opportunity to connect to a fellow traveler- it makes you feel alive to hear their story and really cherish what its like to have that "social" element sometimes.
I've been lonely for over 20 years, so I can relate.
Here's a virtual hug of comfort from Indiana.💞
zion is my absolute favorite place!!!!! so peacefull and mesmorizing!!!! Thanks for all the wonderful videos Victoria!!! Stay strong and always safe :)
I’ll have to go again and actually see it 😅
@@TorieRobot yeah, make it a point!!!! It's a place that will help your mentality, especially on days like this when you're fighting with yourself and confused wether you're on the right path or not. You may just find the answers you seek there!!!! :)
Having a 4 leg friend could help with depression and loneliness but also they can hurt when visiting places cause some places don't allow them in places that's kind of my issue but I would never give my little friends up had for over 9yrs
Exactly- I’d hate to get a dog when my lifestyle is so sporadic atm
@@TorieRobot dogs adapt to their human's lifestyle. Likewise, the human changes some things to accommodate the dog. To me, it's a win-win situation! I absolutely love my dog and we do everything together. I hope you rescue a rez dog soon!
Remember many shelters let you check out dogs for the afternoon. Coffee shops have cat cafes. You spend $15 a hour and the funds help feed and care for medical needs.
The dog relief play dates are fantastic and do not cost at most shelters. But you can donate ofcourse. Across the United States the shelters are open to playrooms for those the do not allow outside play dates.
Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe! Happy Palm Sunday 🙏
I love my solitude. It's better to be alone, than to be in a bad relationship. Finding someone who enjoys everything you do, someone you can get a long with, is virtually impossible. Especially if you're both confined to a small space all the time.
It’s not an easy task to find but I like a challenge
@@TorieRobot Well, if you happen to travel north into Washington State (near Canada), I'd take you out on a date.
The shooting sounds terrifying it seems wild to just be smashing out bullets during the night when you cant even see anything!
Awesome Video !
You did so well during the storm !
Proud of You !
But tell me, How refreshing was it standing in the sun 🌞
After the storm !?
Love and Blessings to You and Yours 🤗🙏
PS : The boots 🥾🥾 are cool
Makes it all worth it haha
Weather plays a huge factor in my moods. Love your channel.
Same same
Hello Victoria. You give the world something special. Great video. Yuki is a real little house.❤
A very little home lol
What a beautiful soul and awesome human being you are! You're very brave. Thank you for your videos. I always enjoy them! Take care. Bisous 😉
i love your videos, i feel like i get to visit these places with you. So awesome, keep rockin!!
you are never really alone when you have all of us with you :)
You’d give a dog a great life kid .... & you will never feel alone again . Enjoy your travels & great videos thanks 😊
Those were some crazy days with weather, flooded roads, brain eating bacteria, great upload as always....
P.s. your never alone Victoria, we are with you every step the way, take care 😊
🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are awesome and I love your content. You come across as genuine and that's what makes you awesome!
Awwww, Yuki sounds great! I'm so glad you got her fixed up, that was a great moove. Its hard to say which is moore beautiful, you or Zion! Thanks for updating, look forward to your next fun video!
:=8D
Nice blog and good drone work ... As far as boots get redback boots .. they are the most comfortable and resilient boots on the planet for a reasonable price
Really enjoyed your videos because you say how it is but so honest, keep up the good work and take care 🌷
Really enjoy your videos! Which I can only describe as calming chaos. lol
Love that ! Haha in the end it always works out
I've noticed many vanlifers starting to buy land as a homebase to retreat to between trips. Northern Arizona seems to be a popular choice.
Girl you are still here, I so must have not been looking you taught me how to be scared but do the thing! Thank you lol sister
went to zion, had to park outside of town and walk to a bus stop to wait 2 hours in line. It may be a great looking place but I'll never go back there.
"there's only so much you can do in the rain". ... preach!
The most stressful time with dealing with the shots and the weather. Know the feeling of needing someone or an animal. At least, you got your boots. Stay safe and stay beautiful.
Hi ! We just bought a 90 XJ, with 149 on the clock! Live in an old Rv now, but are hitting the road in the XJ, and love the canopy you have! Do you have a link?
The link is in a few videos back I think it’s in the drifting video
@@TorieRobot thanks, am going to look now!
You need to come to Havasu. Lots of great camping and a massive lake. Also I can help with any buildout mods you may want to do.
One thing that may help you is to think of the rain in another way. Think about how nourishing it is to all life on Earth and how cleansing it is for everything - including your vehicle. It cleanses the air and it comes down in rhythms and rhymes. Lightning and thunder are cool and add negative ions to the atmosphere which are uplifting and energizing to us humans and other living beings. Smell the air during and after the rains and take in all the goodness that life has to offer. ⛈🌦🌧🌨 Then the sun shines again and we feel even more grateful for the warmth and light it provides for us. 🌞
And driving through the rivers in the desert is adventurous and fun.
Don't worry, be happy! 🌈
Although there's nothing wrong with some down days and a good cleansing cry either.
You've got this, Victoria Rose. 🌹
Cool boot! Great idea getting the men's boots in your size. I looked online and yeah, they're not making women's boots the same as men's at all. That's terrible.
Shoes and hiking.
Bending shoes causes surfaces not glued together to slide against each other. Sliding between sock and shoe is good. Sliding between foot and sock is bad; it causes blisters. Footies on top of socks can be good for exchanging foot/sock sliding friction for footie/shoe sliding.
I follow several TH-camrs that live the nomadic lifestyle. You are the only one I follow that does NOT have a pet. My advice: Get one and see that you CAN make it work. I love you.
Thanks for the video. That would be so cute if you had a little travel puppy with you.
Ikr! I want one but gotta be responsible
Your a realistic young visionary woman... I'm grateful for finding your channel. Restores my hopes in sole nomadic women everywhere. Wonderful ~~~~~~
😊 I live in my van and I used to live in my jeep but you should come down to St George Utah it's warm and it's very pretty and I can tell you the back way into Moab
I only just found you so, don't know if you have or not but.. Fern Canyon in N California near the border of Oregon is quite beautiful. Not sure how accommodating it would be for you but visually it's great. Thanks for your ul's . Take care of ur introvert self. Have a great day, have a better one tomorrow...
Sweet little XJ, she needs a 4.5" lift and a set of 33" tires and then they are almost unstoppable. Safe travels!
The scenery is just breathtaking thank you. Sending my love.🌹💖🌹👽🖖
It really is
Another Super Video ❤
Beautiful Vistas 🙏
Excellent Musical Score 👍🏻
Charming Moderator 💕
Real Emotions Displayed 😅
Always Rooting For You😎
Thank you 🙏🏻
Victoria enjoyed watching your video hope to see many more take care be safe😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yeah, those boots are really cool. I might have to add those to my wish list haha Also, I love the music in this video.
They have been great so far!
There are much worse things than loneliness. Loneliness can hurt, but it can be cured in many ways. The fun is imagining those ways.
You are such a special person. I enjoy your videos and determination to always persevere. Safe travels❤❤❤
Interesting content, only gripe is the free-hand footage that makes the viewer seasick. An improvement would be to set up a stationary camera filming you talking.
Thanks for sharing, Victoria. It sounds like you're really feeling the ups and down right now. The changing of the seasons can have a bad effect on some (Reverse SAD right now, since it's spring). Do you think that might play a part for you, in addition to loneliness? Best wishes, always. ❤
I’m not sure- I think I always feel like this sometimes through phases depending on my hormones lol
@@TorieRobot The hormones will do what they will.😅
Yeah, it’s interesting what a dramatic affect cloudy rainy weather can have on your mood. I’d imagine being in a car most of the time too really magnifies that. Still, there were a lot of "Wows!" in there too!!
This is very true! It’s worse in shady motels though lol
@@TorieRobot 🤣
I can relate, just upgraded to Ford transit after living out of Saturn s series for 3 months, n then hhr for almost 2 years. got the transit n set it up easy for living n working for me n my service dog
omg!! good video my mom would make those corn tortilla and cheese things you made thanks for the reminder.
amazing footage!
Thanks a lot!
I travel full time with 6 dogs and absolutely love it! I never get lonely. You have my vote to RESCUE a dog from the reservation;). Love your videos keep 'em coming!
That’s gotta be kinda hard sometimes yea? lol but that’s very cool!
Check out the Sierra Nevada, it is lovely for stealth vehicle camping.
I’ll look it up but I’ve left Nevada now lol
395 in eastern Cali is magical@@TorieRobot
Traveling alone is lonely but that's what you get when you travel alone taking somebody with you costs too ❤❤❤❤❤❤
When you are lonely you are most receptive to connecting with people :) solo sailing has similar emotional rollercoasters
Yes that one of the hard parts about traveling alone you do start missing people❤
You are awesome victoria love love you're gentle asmr voice love you're channel
🙏🏻
I need to get my grand Cherokee set up like yours and go on the road some and maybe we will meet somewhere sometime. I've been waiting to go out west for years and go out to Moab and some other places to see the country that I protected when I was on active duty Navy for 11 years before I broke my back and received my medical discharge. I wish you luck in your travels beautiful lady.
Moab is a great place to
Thanks for being so Truthful!! 😢 Mark L. And funny as f
