Thanks Carlene 😊
Hello Brenna, oh gosh my darling independent woman, do NOT let anyone bring you down! You are doing VANLIFE perfectly and woman to woman youvery proud of you!!!!. My husband and I love your videos and we are VANLIFE people ourselves for five years now. Now safe travels to you and Abbey. Love from us. 🤗❤️😊😊🤗
Thanks Gail🥰
The fact that you just be yourself and show the everyday things is why I enjoy your videos so much! Gives me a realistic idea of what life will be like when I finally finish my bus and hit the road :)
Thanks, I’m not a very good actor so I will stick to being myself 😂
Love your morning routine. I love my morning routines, which involves, sitting quietly, meditation, reading or listening to wise words. I have various apps I like and books to read. I might even play with oracle cards or Rune stones. The best times is when I can start the day gazing at nature. You are an inspiration. Keep being you. ❤
Your morning routine sounds lovely 😊
Sounds like my typical morning routine too. ❤️
Oh Brenna, just IGNORE any negativity! Everything you share is so positive, even if it's the not so good stuff about Van Life, as van-lifers, we get it! It's just so nice to see someone being real about this life. Thank YOU!!!
Thank you so much!!
That’s good to change one habit with another habit
I’ve heard that is the way to do it 😊
This has been a delightful video dear Brenna, Abby by the creek with you was so very pretty. Thankyou for sharing your journey and thought’s with us all. I am a gran 74 in South Australia and I love doing short trips in my little Tarago van, all the while dreaming about bigger adventures if I had better mobility. Wishing you blessings and more joy!
Thank you so much!
You have managed to capture the life so well, the morning cuddles the condensated windows, the lovely warm sun coming through the windows the views everything on your own time and doing whatever you want to do before what you have to do.
Thanks, it has taken me some time to work out what really matters.
That breakfast of yours looks amazing, but why not add a dob of honey to it, perfection. You inspire me to eat much better 💕💕
It's so good!
Love your attitude. Not always easy to maintain routine. Enjoy this life you have chosen.
Thank you, I will
I'm telling everyone about your dishwashing hack with the spray bottle!! So useful. Thanks
You are so welcome!
I loved your scene transition via Abby’s fur!!! 😂❤
I try to get creative and usually have a lot of fun doing it 😊
Hello Brenna, I've just recently started watching your videos and I am thoroughly enjoying them! Love your energy, enthusiasm and authenticity! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much!!
you make my mouth water when you describe your breakfast. Sounds lovely.
Very yummy
I love you being you, keep up with it 😄 It is funny... I wanted to get some inspiration and knowledge about vanlife and been searching and watching a lot of different accounts, but the two accounts that really caught me is yours and "Lulu´s way". Two wise women from different parts of the world living and appreciating life. Me myself living in Sweden waiting for 18 years to pass so that I can travel around like you do... as I don´t have a job that I can bring with me... while waiting I am starting to downsizing, getting rid of something everyday, and looking for a better car that I can use as a minivan for weekends and vacations... at least for spring and summer...
Sounds like you have a great plan to get out and adventure 😊
Hi from Turkey! A very chill video, I like it.
And my routine? I like to do some editing on my computer while drinking a coffee. This because I wake up very early. After that breakfast (bread and cheese) and take the dog for a walk.
We've been living your life for 7 months now , love it. Just got a small pup and now life is perfect . Love your video's keep up the good work .
Sounds wonderful.😊
You are so right about the sun going down and suddenly it's very cold. Never mind we are on the heading towards Summer side. Hmm I love writing and haven't been able to fit it in for a few years. Maybe first thing in the morning or last before bed... no that would probably be counterproductive for sleep. I may try morning. Take care =-)
I initially tried writing before bed but my brain was too tired 😂
I have just started lwatlching your, love your video, i cant wait to start my van life, you have gave me so many great pointers and safty things to look out for. I love your breakfasts idea's and your routine ideas, keep being you,❤ beutiful lady and your baby girl is so cute.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, an inspiring video. I love the way you have decided to start your day, are you following the philosophy of the Stoic's by any chance. Ryan Holiday recommends leaving the phone alone in the morning and journaling each and every day and you seem to have benefited from doing just that. You have certainly relaxed into the role of a You Tuber, well done and keep it coming.
I don’t really follow any philosophy but I do like the teachings of Eckhart Tolle.
@@BrennaLivingJoyfully Yes Eckhart Tolle is amazing.
Wonderful video
Thanks 🙏
Thank you for another great video Brenna. I am working FIFO, my morning routine is stretching and yoga, drink apple cider vinegar with empty stomach then my breakky will be oats porridge. I don't hv much option when I am working away but trying to have healthy habit as I can.
Have a lovely day Brenna xx
I would also find it difficult to maintain the same routine while working away but you can have a different routine and just do the best you can😊
@BrennaLivingJoyfully yes, you are right. Just do the best you can. Your kind of 'working away' is much more fun compared with mine 🤣
I hope and pray, one day I will do the same like you do now (travelling around Australia). Stay safe, Brenna. I'm looking forward to watching your next video x
Just started watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures and adorable Abbey. I travel some in my RV with my dachshunds.
Welcome aboard!
Liked and enjoyed Brenna. peace 😅
Thanks Dave😊
Brenna! I just love your cheerful, sunshiny energy. I can feel it through the screen. You are so inspiring to me. I'm new, But an instant Fan. And Thank you for being you and sharing your life with us. ❤️🙏🌻
You are so welcome!
Your joy is contagious, im so glad i found your chanel in preparation for my own dog van life ❤
Welcome!!
How do you find such lovely places to spend the night etc? is it word of mouth etc. or do you just drive until you find something that makes you want to spend time there?
I use an app called Wikicamps
I have a egg on toast, or porridge, or two weetbix
I love the options😊
How do you snap your fingers and make things happen? 😂 I have tried and nothing happens.
It is TH-cam magic 😂
Just started watching, but had to comment on how adorable Abby is under the blankets. So cute. 🥰
So cute 🥰
You: So peaceful, so quiet.
Abby: Woof!!
That cracked me up! 😂
She does have excellent timing 😂
The thing I love about you and your channel, is that it's calm, it's about what you do and feel, instead of where you are.
It's nice to see something else than just the travel vlogs, because they are sort of stressful to me.
It's nice to get those mental aspects of what travelling is. ❤
I’m glad you enjoy watching my journey 😊
I agree about phone .. I feel very protective about the first thing I listen to in the morning & the last thing before I sleep. I usually start my morning listening to scripture prayers while relaxing under a red-light mask. 😊 Then I sip on a citrus chai green tea & look at the weather, my planner & go from there.
hey brenna dont listen to negative comments. there will always be critics. your videos are a breath of fresh air.
Thanks Gary, I have become quite good at hitting the delete button when they show up now 😂
I subscribed to your channel because I like you being you. You're like a friend I wish I had in real life! :)
Wow, thank you
I'm very envious, Brenna! great and healthy morning routine for sure. I'm just now fixing up my horse trailer for camping while rockhounding. A port I'm a storm is really all I'm looking for to begin with. In central Oregon but Australia looks really beautiful. Cheerio to you!
Happy travels Beverley 😊
Who would ever give you a negative comment.... Oh my goodness... You are such a beautiful person... And I feel excited... Because I want to do the same lifestyle... All the things that you get excited about nature and waking up and doing things that you've been dreaming of doing in your day... That is exactly what I want to do... Maybe not the exact same things but things I dream about like being in nature .... Traveling with my dog... Spending more time with family and friends especially my grandkids... So you give me hope cuz lot of people are negative about van life and those of us that understand that van life can be very positive and good for your mental health... Thank you for that I needed that positivity for the future that I'm planning ❤️
It’s not for everyone but definitely right for me 😊
Love your trecks, love your smiles, please don't sell your soul to sponsorship and obvious advertising, it will change what you enjoy.
Kindest regards T
I'm sorry but your description of the sun setting situation is not how the universe works. You sound like my parents; 'We don't want daylight saving, our curtains will fade'. That doesn't happen.
Thanks for sharing your morning with us. I will occasionally add some shaved dark chocolate to my coconut yogurt, especially if I am having berries. Positive thoughts for your family. Happy travels for you and Abby.
Thanks Joanne, your yogurt combo sounds yummy 😊
Definitely don’t change. People watch because you are you.
Thanks
I like to no were you camp it was next river I really liked with trees with yellow leaves lovely and sunny. 😎
New South Wales
I've always believed that the simple things in life are the best even as a child and watching you proves it's true ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Definitely 😊
Thank you😊 beautiful authentic inspirational sharing of you Abbey and your life ❤
Thank you so much!
You look so comfy under your blanket. I love your videos as you’re not at all pretentious you’re authentically you and it’s quite evident that you love your lifestyle. I am delighted for you. I do enjoy watching your videos. ❤️👍
Thank you so much!!
Hi Brenna. I know you did most of your build yourself on your van. Can I ask when it comes to insuring your vehicle is it still a van or a camper van or something else.
My van is insured as a van only, it doesn’t qualify as a camper.
How do you survive financially on the road? Would love to do it but don't have any office skills to get work from home/van?
I work as a self employed bookkeeper.
Another great Vlog, nothing better than waking up with your fur baby on the bed!(snoopy the Jack Russell ) here, cheers ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
I am really enjoying your podcast. I feel like your talking right to me. I also have to change my morning routine so thank you for the inspiration! Also Abby looks exactly like my pup who recently passed, so I love to see her. Thank you!
Sorry about your pup that passed.😘
I'm definitely trying that comb for brekkie
I relate strongly to your winter morning routine, Brenna, as it’s similar to mine (when I haven’t dropped the bundle 😅). I like to start with meditation as soon as I wake to keep my mind directed in a wholesome way, followed by morning pages (stream of consciousness writing) hopefully with a cuppa in hand, then up and dressed and off for a walk with my dog before there’s mutiny! Next is breakfast and quick clean out of the van, and exercise before it gets too hot. In summer I exercise before walking otherwise it’s just too hot. Surprisingly similar, but I’m probably more easily distracted from my ‘routine’ - you seem pretty organised! 💐⭐️
Your such an inspiration. Thank you Brenna for sharing your life's adventures in the van with us.
You’re welcome 😊
Hello I'm new to your channel I've just found your channel very informative love it thank you blessings to you and your beautiful doggy
Yes I’ve done a lot of house sitting over the last two years, it’s all been from word of mouth and had to turn people away and even passed them onto friends whom do it as well. It’s great, but I’m giving myself a break and just wanting to explore more,😊
Just keep being you your more than enough, love from Tasmania.
Thanks Carol🥰
My morning routine i get a glass of water with some appe cider vinegar read my daily devotion and my Bible meditate On what I've read and pray than i make a cuppa i really enjoyed this video thank you so much Brenna love and blessings from nsw 😊🚐
Carbon monoxide CO is heavier so it will sit low. You need to be careful with Abby as she is closer to the ground 💕💕
Just keep being You Brenna 😂
No worries 😊
You have a wonderful morning routine Brenna Lynn, mine was watching your lovely video at 6.30 am here in Northern Ireland now its time to take my furbaby for his walk😊
Hope you enjoyed your walk🦮
Great content and views. Really enjoyable, thank you!
You’re welcome 😊
Research algee in lakes and rivers some dogs can die . I read it somewhere someone making others aware . Just a tip.. looks like paradise enjoy and stay safe.
What about making a cup of tea etc. didn’t see a kettle or anything.
I need to get out of that habit too I still grab my phone first thing in the morning when I’m in bed
I am from Northcliffe …70 kms from Manji…love seeing my playground on one of your videos….l also have a hiace …had her for fifteen years …she is reliable and l am thinking about doing some camping in my area with my dogs…l love your tips ..and your beautiful dog…really…what would we do without dogs..they are my company ..best friends…anyway ..l think you are my inspiration…so enjoying your videos
I love that area!
Hi Brenna, you have a lovely winter morning routine. I will definitely try your yoghurt mix, looks delicious. My morning routine is make a coffee, feed Tim my beautiful dog and then spend time practising gratitude, cuddling Tim and then we go for our morning walk, followed by breakfast. I find great inspiration in your videos, Thankyou. Graham and Tim 😊 🐕
Your morning routine sounds very similar 😊
Aww Abbie looks so cute under her blanket. I am housesitting with two dogs atm. One is so adorable. I wake up in the morning and his face is on the pillow next to mine. What a great idea to write first thing in the morning Brenna. My best time is morning and I have found by the time night comes around I am to mentally tired to write.
I’m really glad I found a way to fit in writing. This year is really going well so far.
Thank you for this video! The power of a good morning routine is so important whether traveling or not. You have reminded me to get back at it and work on mine! I am also one of those 2000 new ones, and love your videos.
Thanks Joan and good luck with your morning routine 😊
Abby, and you are too cute together. I'm so glad I found your channel.
❤❤❤❤
Welcome!!
Fire and the curtains my concern
Watching from Scotland, you’re so inspiring, love your videos
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi just wondering, who won the river?
Oh Brenna,, love your video’s
Living life vicariously through you from my little beach shack in Sussex Inlet, Australia
A little beach shack sounds wonderful 😊
❤Abby is precious! Beautiful scenery. Wonderful life! Thanks for sharing
🌟🌴🌼🍀
Thanks for watching 🙏
@@BrennaLivingJoyfully your welcome. It's my pleasure!🌞
If that’s winter, sign me up! (Still stuck in Vermont)Thank you for your wonderful videos. Don’t feel pressured by us peepers. 😊. Keep doing you.
Thank you! Will do!
Greetings. Thanks for inspiring us again. Greatly admire your self-discipline. Wonderful to see you enjoying your time traveling
Thank you so much!
I am a morning person! I am self employed and work from home but I am up early (4:30-5:30 a.m.). First up is a short outing with my dog. Then coffee and some quiet time with my dog and cat and my thoughts … sometimes prayer and/or devotional reading, sometimes just quiet reflection. Breakfast and maybe meal prep for lunch and dinner … then a medium length walk with my dog and maybe outside chores. Shower and then to work. Generally, my entire day is somewhat to routine and my pet’s internal clocks keep me on schedule 😊. Thank you for sharing all that you do. Your videos are so enjoyable and I truly feel like I have a new friend. ❤❤❤ From Liz, Emmett (English Shepherd) and Oscar (cat) in Northwest Montana, U.S.
Hello 👋
Hi Abby, I love your videos and the morning is the best part of the day. I love getting up early and feeling like im the only one up and having the beautiful morning all to myself. I can agree with you that when you have a dog fur is on everything. I have a golden retriever and we travel on and off together, one day more permanently like you. Where are you it looks like somewhere around my area central west NSW xxx
Yes, I was in NSW, somewhere 🧐
Hello Brenna. I'm from Alabama. I found your channel a couple of hours ago. I just subscribed. This is my 3rd video. You are so awesome. So down to earth and relatable. What do you do for a living? I'll be watching more vidoes.
I do bookkeeping and welcome 👋
Hi, I’m a new watcher, think that’s my 3rd. I’d like to say how inspired I was by your breakfast, you mentioned mindful eating, what was the course you did? I need help…..😅 also, what type of retractable lead do you have on Abbey? I have a poodle too. I loved your discipline, you made me rethink my ideas, keep it up ❤
Welcome!! I used the Headspace app for the mindful eating course.
The retractable lead is from Kmart.
Just found your channel and I'm binge watching, I have just recently bought a hiace camper and this is so inspirational. It's also nice to see van life in Australia as there ones that I follow that are in the US. ❤
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for the morning recipe, I also need zinc, so off to get sompumpkin seeds this morning. Am off travelling tomorrow so will be thinking of you when I eat my breakfasts in my micro camper, with my little Non shedding dog. Love watching your travels....
I have some dog hair to spare if you want some😂
My brain is at its best in the morning so I do my bible reading and meeting prep, prayer etc as soon as I wake. Such a lovely spot you are at. Do you have sny problems with condensation through the night? . Lol eating like a bird. I am taking note of how you say it has helped with your cholesterol. Is that a fridge? I am watching your most recent then going backwards, so some of the questions I have asked might be answered in previous videos. Thank you for doing your videos. I will watch them all. Abbey enjoying her walk and the water. So lovely. Please don't put any pressure on yourself for us viewers. So appreciative of what you do when you feel you want to. Your care of yourself and your well being is number one. So cool, your exercises. Well done. Loved it. Thank you.
I think you will have all your questions answered as you watch the rest of the videos 😊
Talking about meditation Psalm 1: 1-2 says a man is blessed when his delight is in the law of the Lord & he meditates upon it day & night. There are many beautiful things in Scripture to meditate upon. Genesis 1:1 says in the beginning God created the heavens & the earth...that's incredible to think upon how powerful He is. That's an amazing thing to write about in your journal. That same God loves us so much He came down from the splendor of heaven & died for us...how about that. He has you always on His mind. 😊
Thx Brenna.. I hope you're having a lovely day, is it bright & sunny where you are like it is here in W Sydney, not a cloud in the sky.
So glad to be here. Not looking for performance. I enjoy living vicariously through you until I get out there myself.
Thank you 🙏
Hi, it looks like you are free camping. (Then you just said that in the video). Is that what you mainly do? How do you find sites?
I use the Wikicamps app
I just started watching ,and love your channel ,you got lovely personality and Abby is adorable
Thank you so much!!
Hi Brenna I have just found your site and really enjoy your videos, you come over as very natural and friendly and I enjoy travelling with you. As a 75 year old lady who lives in England I am unlikely to ever visit Australia so look forward to discovering your beautiful country with you 👋👋👋
You are so welcome!
You're doing great. Enjoy your life. Puppy is so sweet.
Thank you! You too!
I just wanted to say I am so happy for you that you changed your life and found happiness so rare your smart love your life and morning routine the only thing that s important in life is being happy in your life and you've achieved it congrats on finding it it's wonderful keep enjoying what makes you you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
I typically don't watch videos about other's routines but this video happened to come at a very opportune time for me. Thank you for the ideas. I particularly like the ideas of writing in the morning and monthly challenges develop healthy habits.
Glad it was helpful 😊
Ive come home from a long day at work and so happy to see your beautiful smile 😊 Great video as always ❤ such a pretty spot too! Your brekkie looks yummy, will have to try it!
Cheers 🥰
I like your videos. I'm hoping to be able to travel when I retire. Do you find that your you tube channel makes living alone easier?
I think the dog helps the most 🐶
Good on you! I’m going to take this into account when I am on the road eventually. I can see myself getting into that same habit with my phone. I vow to get up and make art instead. Thank you for the inspiration. I really enjoy your videos 😊
Go for it!
I just started watching from Iowa in the United States. Im so happy youre enjoying your life with your dog. Id love to do the same here someday.
Good luck!!
Really nice peaceful healthy morning routine. I really enjoy all your videos. Just keeping doing you
Thanks Tanya😀
Plus a black tea
12:41 great idea, using the floor mat, as a drop cloth on your bed, while prepping your food.
It is actually a place mat.
We haven’t seen much rain in your videos. What do you both do with your day if it’s a rainy day, or few days? Thank you for sharing all of this. ❤
I usually drive away if it’s going to be raining for a few days to somewhere else but worst case scenario I hi out in my van and do art, read, watch videos…..
That's a beautiful location.
I live in country nsw & I love seeing the poplar tree's in this video. Thankyou🤎
It is very different on this side of the country.
❤❤❤
