Rosa does a great job telling a story. She works hard to give us many camera angles etc. Wife and I absolutely adore her! Your content is wonderful. Am in Oklahoma so we don't see much of Washington. I want to see you do WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!
I love that you show hiking and pretty views. I admire your lifestyle and would watch any video you post lol. Every since I started watching you and other people that live this lifestyle, sometimes before bed I think “hmmm I wonder where Rosa (and others) are sleeping tonight”. 😂
So man great sites all in one video... Rosa, you are the best, you take us to so many great places....I love ♥ the way you change up your videos, so you don't't have to change anything in the way you do them... Being an 81-year-old PA & east coast guy, I never saw the west coast & now I see it through you & I love it ❤ .......
You do such an amazing job with your filming! The fact that you are alone is really hard to believe. Btw, please don’t apologize for needing a nap after a 15 mile hike! I need one after a 15 mile drive. Lol! Keep up the great work!
You are such a Positive and Happy spark of sunshine into my 80 year's of life . I ALWAYS look forward to another of your Great Videos .. No matter fog, mist, rain or whatever you make the best of the day .!!! I love your constant SMILE and ATTITUDE .. 😇😃👍🎶👧🎉.. I Agree -- Washington has way more beauty than Oregon .. Keep up the HAPPINESS ..!!!! Bye for today .. 👍🎶🎶
Stoppp, that's so sweet 🥹 I'm back in the PNW, so there will definitely be a lot of fog and rain 😂 and I'm glad you agree! Oregon is so overrated lol I appreciate you ❤️
I live on the Olympic Peninsula and have been to all those places. I am glad you liked the area, it’s a great place to live 🥰 Thanks for saying all the nice things about our amazing PNW!
I can imagine! I love coming here to visit 🥰 I'll say all the nice things about Washington, but I will continue to insult oregon... I can't help it 🤷♀️
As a life long born and raised Washington resident, I always knew it was better than all it's neighbors. Though I live in the south west of WA right on the Oregon border, I have been just about everywhere in WA and I love it all, from the coast to the rain forest to the mountains to the high deserts, beautiful.
I found your channel a few days ago and just wanted to let you know that you've inspired me. I'm going through a disastrous transitionary period and relocating to Washington to try and get myself together again, but your videos and the places you've let us share with you have helped me cope and started to give me an idea of where I can go from here. I don't think I could do (or would enjoy in the long term) the nomad lifestyle you have, but I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed exploring the outdoors in the last decades. Thank you. What you do is important, even if it feels sometimes like you're just another trailblazer.
I've seen NW before, but I've never seen NW look like that. WOW. You find some really amazing places. Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoy your variety. I enjoy anything that's coastal, has food in it, or just random silly stuff. Your hot springs videos were pretty great too.
Yay! I'm always happy to show people places they haven't seen before!! And there will be more hot springs but probably not for a few months, summer isn't the time for hot water lol summer is for cliff jumping and swimming in lakes!
I like the everyday normal stuff. Shopping, finding a place to stay. I go by myself every spring on a west trip, I have chf so I go by myself. I'm not fun to travel with, I eat low sodium, need quit a bit of rest and don't do heat well. So I'm more comfortable on my own but still enjoy the road. Going shopping, finding a cracker barrel or rest area to sleep in. Exploring the desert and following the ocean on the way back can still be fun. Love the videos
That's good to hear because that's easier to really show as authentic to my life ❤️ I'm also not fun to travel with because I force my friends and family to get up at 4am and do sunrise hikes, and that's why I travel alone!
Your day looked so nice and peaceful thanks for sharing as always, Your doing great sharing your travels, Looking forward to seeing the next adventure, :)
I always love your videos, do whatever you want and makes you happy and just keep being you. The fog at the beach was so cool, and I agree, they did look like bald eagles. Stay safe sweetie ❤️
Ciao Rosa ... what a beautiful location... i love this girl and her adventures in wilderness... thank you so much !!! Great video... Simply Amazing... A big hug !!!!!
I just came across your channel and have watched more then a handfull of your vids already and love your care free attitude and your care free and exploring lifestyle 😊😊❤
You're the best solo camper I've seen so far. I'm in awe of your incredibly great sense of adventure and the fact that you seem to lack fear. For instance, hiking in the dark w only your headlight on. Who does that? And solo!! I really don't know how you can improve! ❤❤❤
Enjoyed the video girl. The only thing you need to change is your diet. For real bread and cheese is NOT going to cut it ! Your cooking is quite entertaining as well. Beautiful scenery, yea Washinging is much better than Oregon.
I had no idea what the Olympic peninsula was until this last year . My truck broke down in port Angeles, I ended up camping there for a week , while I put the 8k together to replace my engine . Met great people, and fell in love with the area . Absolutely beautiful.
I like the variety, but the hiking content is definitely the best. I'm in the process of fixing a bad back, so even if I could get to these beautiful places, I wouldn't last very long hiking them. Its great to live vicariously through you for now.
@@lifeinmyelement thats great to hear, ill be there! And thank you so much. Been in Physical Therapy for a couple months now. Slowly but surely. Hopefully it stays better
wonderfull video and amazing spots. I really enjoyed the first place, beautiful bald eagles and I loved that tree very much. Oh and I never commented about your hair but its very cute
I like your mixed bag presentations! Just do what you feel like with the fun randomized style that you do. I feel like I enjoy watching it all :) More food next time and singing. Until next time...
Very nice killer views Rosita🔥🔥 would also make great wallpapers. Omg the fog at 4:28 😍 keep up the amazing editing skillz and great content. 💜 & I love your lifestyle. Ps great happy dance. 6:14 😹😻😸
@@lifeinmyelement looking forward to your next video It puts a smile on my face and turns a bad day good. I promise I won't bug you. Just being honest and thanking you
Glad always to see Ur well Rosa ❤.Taking care of Urself is a must n Ur adamant about that as U should. Am amazed at those rocks in the ocean growing trees n with all the salt including the air how they grow n some perfectly straight up? The solace of the beach n caverns is uniquely beautiful though dark! Ur like a ray of sunshine exposing it to b enjoyed by those who wouldn't have the chance but for Ur adventurous spirit. Continue to let Ur beauty captivating eyes to give us a smorgasbord wherever U travel. U have bcome my travel guide n I respect Ur views n opinions as they're backed by facts n the humbleness which is presented is icing on the cake! Continue to be well, safe n Free!! God Bless You!! ❤
@@lifeinmyelement They're all true n Ur deserving of those compliments. Thank U for taking time to respond. Needed to ask about Ur drone n maybe we can exchange info? Example: duration of Ur batt Take care Rosa! ❤
Wow, what a beautiful area. The trail reminds me of the ones at Arcadia Natl. Park, Maine. Your hair’s growing so fast. Breakfast of champions. I’m heading to Washington state 😊{ add it to the list }. Beauty and solitude. You made me lol. Nice sunset. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s varied, beautiful and fun. ❤❤❤
I can see that! Maine is definitely the most "west coast" state that's out east. And thank you!! I hope you make it out here and see all these pretty places in person ❤️
I think you are doing great just sharing your experiencences after all the fakeness that I have seen on TV/ movies even music , really it's just so nice to see someone sharing their life like you are, ..........would be nice to talk to someone as down to earth as you
Ok. I will re-assess the Oregon vs Washington debate soon. Promise. Cuz, I did the whole Oregon coast, and I loved it, but I only did the Washington coast along that small stretch of 101, which I found flat and uninteresting. But I had to drive through Forks (team Edward). Anyway, the Cape Flattery area looks like a winner for Washington! (Jotting THAT one down, too, thanks!). And yes. Go solo! No partners, no pets, no plans. I only make plans when visiting friends/family or going to concerts and festivals, cuz freakin' bands won't change their schedule for me, dammit. haha! Then it's usually the weather or GREAT recommendations (hint hint) that push and pull me places. I enjoy and benefit from exactly what you're doing, Rosa. Thanks! Oh, geez, this is long, but one more thing... "Caffeine naps" are the best! Just sayin' :)
Fair enough, honestly the oregon coast might be slightly prettier for a longer stretch of beach, but the inaccessibility of car camping and the overcrowding just ruins it for me! And I like pumping my own gas 😂 I also only make plans for family and friends, I can't travel long term with another person. It's just not as fun!!
days without an ample amount of food... I can relate. bread and cheese is pretty good. I had a stretch of doing vegan tuna sandwich... which is canned chickpeas+ mayo packets+any fine cut veggies between any bread.
The effort u put in to do those walking shots must be exhausting! Thank u for a lovely video, u take us to the most beautiful places. And who doesnt love a plan B?! 😊😊
I’ve been binge watching your video 🤔 I wonder if that’s ok. To answer your question what can you do to make your channel better? Simply what you think works and you enjoy. If it’s natural then it’s good.
I miss living in Sequim honestly.. November through June it's raining just about every damn day but man if that area isn't lush and beautiful when the sun does come out for a bit in the summer. Great place to visit if you've never been
I live in Marysville, Washington, and would love to show you some hidden glory spots that my wife and I like. You must see at a minimum Leavenworth and Winthrop. We would be honored to show off a few hidden gems of our state. Just don't tell any Californians (we have enough of them as it is hahaha) but seriously, great hikes to views and wildlife that will make you understand our pride. Plus, we can do some fun stuff. Keep up your Great work!!!
I loveeee Leavenworth! Cutest little town, especially when the lights are up. And I've spent a lot of time west of Winthrop, but I'm sure you have some hikes I've never done! Let me know ❤️
Oof yes, I'd have to get a little more comfortable with solo backpacking before I attempted that. I'm still a little scared of the dark lol but it seems beautiful!
@@lifeinmyelement Yeah, I get it. I travel where other people stay home, and I go where other people don’t lol. Holidays I hibernate and wait for it’s over 😂
Yooo that's awesome! I'm so excited for you! I recommend avoiding Seattle and Portland 😂 but I do think Portland is worse. And Seattle is actually pretty, it has some scenic spots. Portland scares me.. but just be safe and I hope you have a catalytic converter shield on your element because they get stolen quite a lot. I had mine stolen in Seattle!
@@lifeinmyelement so I bought the aerogenics cat shield but whoever put the $99 amazon cat on after the original was stolen did a pretty bad job and it wouldn’t fit right. I’ll probably avoid Portland to be safe. So far I’m going to New River Gorge, Badlands, Glacier, Yellowstone and then North Cascades (trying to find a spot at colonial creek but may have to settle for a different campground). Are you going to be at the PNW Element meetup?
Whoa, really pretty area you were in. I guess (more of) the WA coast will have to go on my list of places to visit. I really love the atmospherics of the PNW coastline. I have mostly good memories of the OR coast, but stuff tends to change after 25-30 yrs. I think what you've been doing/filming on your channel, and just being YOU, is great. Though, i have to admit Cooking with Rosa may be a favorite. I imagine creating content is much harder that many believe it to be. Just keep swimming. 😊 15 miles is pretty bold! Nap is a given, right?
I think Oregon has really become so developed, especially in the past decade. It just doesn't feel wild like Wahsington does. But it's still beautiful just not for me ❤️ I'm glad you like my cooking, sorry about the boring bread and cheese in this video!
@@lifeinmyelement Yeah, over development ruins everything. Overuse, same. I guess as our species fades things will get better, for the planet and all other life. Too deep? Bread & cheese are, like many delicious things, require moderation. But sometimes you've just gotta' grab a handful (or 2) of whatever's closest and will fill the void. Over most of my lifetime I'd say I've averaged 3-4 servings of everything, bread & cheese included - sometimes with Guinness. And ketchup is a vegetable. 😆
To make your videos even better, you should share how to get to these great spots you seem to always find. Share your thought process while searching for these back roads. You say you just try dirt roads and sometimes get lucky but are people allowed on these unpaved roads? I'm not familiar with the Pacific NW. 😇
The main reason I watch your channel is to see the beautiful scenery on your hikes wherever you go. It’s very relaxing!! I love hearing the ocean just as much as seeing it. In a nice way I’m saying you do not have to talk all the time either. Just the sounds of a nature hike are so amazing. For those who can’t make it out to do that kind of exercise it’s extremely calming. I live in the desert so any type of natural water feature really helps to calm my anxiety. It’s absolutely stunning to be able to see them through your videos. Thank you so much! ❤
That's very fair! I've considered making some more fully nature sound videos of some hikes. Where I don't talk at all! I thought that could be a fun, different experience! So I'm glad you agree ❤️
Rosa has a great eye for what to catch on video. Just impresses me to watch someone living lfe rather than existing... smelly hiked out feet fucked up sleep schedule. She's got the right kinda attitude
*_Solo adventures are sometimes really fun, we don't have to worry about arguing and we are free to choose where we go, like this beauty... be careful honey_* 💙👍
I agree, Washington coast is better than Oregon coast from what I've seen. More quiet with less people and more wilderness to explore. Less traffic, less developed. Just keep showing us beautiful scenery and rubbing it in haha.
Rosa does a great job telling a story. She works hard to give us many camera angles etc. Wife and I absolutely adore her! Your content is wonderful. Am in Oklahoma so we don't see much of Washington. I want to see you do WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!
Awwwww 🥹 I'm trying my best, I'm glad you and your wife enjoy it!! I'll keep doing my own thing then ❤️
@@lifeinmyelement i see the eagles , oh , and ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@lifeinmyelement I will always be with you ♥
You do such an amazing job with your filming! The fact that you are alone is really hard to believe. Btw, please don’t apologize for needing a nap after a 15 mile hike! I need one after a 15 mile drive. Lol! Keep up the great work!
Sometimes I do wish someone was there to help me film but I like being alone too much ❤️ thank you for the kind words!!
Amazing views and good sunsets, always a good time watching you Rosa ❤
I'm glad I get to feel like I have friends on all my adventures ❤️

Went there last year I loved it! So fun
I love this moody weather.. makes me feel calm and safe. Solitude away from noisy people lol
Have fun before they come 🙂
I had to avoid camping the last couple nights because it's always busy for memorial day weekend! But now I can go back out there 😂
@@lifeinmyelement Yeah, I get it. I travel where other people stay home, and I go where other people don’t lol. Holidays I hibernate and wait for it’s over 😂
Nice job on the shots. I can tell you put a lot of work just to get a nice b roll.
Love the channel. I’m doing a trip in my element from VA to WA in two weeks… never been out west. Would you recommend avoiding Seattle or Portland?
Yooo that's awesome! I'm so excited for you! I recommend avoiding Seattle and Portland 😂 but I do think Portland is worse. And Seattle is actually pretty, it has some scenic spots. Portland scares me.. but just be safe and I hope you have a catalytic converter shield on your element because they get stolen quite a lot. I had mine stolen in Seattle!
@@lifeinmyelement so I bought the aerogenics cat shield but whoever put the $99 amazon cat on after the original was stolen did a pretty bad job and it wouldn’t fit right. I’ll probably avoid Portland to be safe. So far I’m going to New River Gorge, Badlands, Glacier, Yellowstone and then North Cascades (trying to find a spot at colonial creek but may have to settle for a different campground). Are you going to be at the PNW Element meetup?
I like how creative your cooking is,
What a beautiful Place!
You're living the life I will live.
No people is always better.
Washington states is really beautiful there enjoy your stay 😊
Love your trips
Whoa, really pretty area you were in. I guess (more of) the WA coast will have to go on my list of places to visit. I really love the atmospherics of the PNW coastline. I have mostly good memories of the OR coast, but stuff tends to change after 25-30 yrs.
I think what you've been doing/filming on your channel, and just being YOU, is great. Though, i have to admit Cooking with Rosa may be a favorite. I imagine creating content is much harder that many believe it to be. Just keep swimming. 😊
15 miles is pretty bold! Nap is a given, right?
I think Oregon has really become so developed, especially in the past decade. It just doesn't feel wild like Wahsington does. But it's still beautiful just not for me ❤️ I'm glad you like my cooking, sorry about the boring bread and cheese in this video!
@@lifeinmyelement Yeah, over development ruins everything. Overuse, same. I guess as our species fades things will get better, for the planet and all other life. Too deep?
Bread & cheese are, like many delicious things, require moderation. But sometimes you've just gotta' grab a handful (or 2) of whatever's closest and will fill the void. Over most of my lifetime I'd say I've averaged 3-4 servings of everything, bread & cheese included - sometimes with Guinness. And ketchup is a vegetable. 😆
Definitely bald eagles and incredible you got to see them together, I’ve seen 4 total my whole life
Have you seen the tree of life near kalaloch lodge? Nice spot to hit while near the rainforest
I have! Just not in my youtube videos but I'll have to go back and show everyone ❤️
@@lifeinmyelement all the beaches in that area are fantastic. I stay up there a couple times a year
Hi from Vancouver Island! BC is so similar to Washington. Similar scenery and bald eagles!
Hey! We're really close, only a short ferry ride away lol I'm hoping to make it up to BC for a little this summer
@@lifeinmyelement that’s awesome! Your vids make me want to explore so much more. Have a fab day! 😁☀️
People are here for you and your way of life, not necessarily all the pretty places. Of course they enhance, but you are the main draw card!
Now, that was a beautiful place. No sign of strip mining like those deserts
To make your videos even better, you should share how to get to these great spots you seem to always find. Share your thought process while searching for these back roads. You say you just try dirt roads and sometimes get lucky but are people allowed on these unpaved roads? I'm not familiar with the Pacific NW. 😇
I do have an idea for a vlog.. a vlog to europe this year and go with me to Japan😏
Have a good trip there girl, talk to you later🍻
Listen, when I make it to Europe, you know you're on the top of my list to visit ❤️
The main reason I watch your channel is to see the beautiful scenery on your hikes wherever you go. It’s very relaxing!! I love hearing the ocean just as much as seeing it. In a nice way I’m saying you do not have to talk all the time either. Just the sounds of a nature hike are so amazing. For those who can’t make it out to do that kind of exercise it’s extremely calming. I live in the desert so any type of natural water feature really helps to calm my anxiety. It’s absolutely stunning to be able to see them through your videos. Thank you so much! ❤
That's very fair! I've considered making some more fully nature sound videos of some hikes. Where I don't talk at all! I thought that could be a fun, different experience! So I'm glad you agree ❤️
Cape flattery what a awesome place to visit.
Rosa has a great eye for what to catch on video. Just impresses me to watch someone living lfe rather than existing... smelly hiked out feet fucked up sleep schedule. She's got the right kinda attitude
*_Solo adventures are sometimes really fun, we don't have to worry about arguing and we are free to choose where we go, like this beauty... be careful honey_* 💙👍
Exactly! There's no one to disagree with besides myself 😊
@@lifeinmyelement 💙👍
I agree, Washington coast is better than Oregon coast from what I've seen. More quiet with less people and more wilderness to explore. Less traffic, less developed. Just keep showing us beautiful scenery and rubbing it in haha.
Thank you!! Oregon is too developed, I like the wildness of Washington ❤️
