This is an opinion and life experience vlog. Trying to enjoy life as someone who tends to challenge social norms…(perhaps subconsciously), I don't like to rock the boat, so my thoughts rock me.
I'm an independent single mom and homeowner working full time living in South Florida. Feeling burn-out and aspiring to travel and get outside more. Some outdoor exploring videos mixed with sit down talks about life.

The wind was so strong!!! Visiting raccoon island via Kayak in the rain!
Hello, I’m back.
This time with my latest outdoor experience, a kayak tour from north miami to an island in the Bay Area between the mainland and the beach called “Raccoon Island”
We started with an island hop from one called bird island, but then hopped onto a pontoon to ride further to another anchored pontoon.
We then hopped onto new kayaks and went to Raccoon Island and saw some interesting things!
Feeding raccoons watermelon from the palm of our hands! They were so docile and domesticated almost like a house cat. 🐈 🦝💕
The sky kept getting darker and darker until an unexpected turn of events in the end!
Watch till the end to find out!

how do we deal fatigue with fogginess
I’m still figuring that out. I don’t have panic attacks anymore but i think I do have chronic fatigue from a sort of cptsd from my experiences. I still deal with both. I try to exercise at least a little everyday or 3 times a week. I combine walking briskly for 30 mins or an hour one day and do some light weights another day. I try to consume healthy stuff, I’m not perfect but I try. I try to stay hydrated and get to bed at a reasonable hour. Life can be so stressful and we are so complex there isn’t always one solution to a problem it’s a combination of different efforts.
Its worth the struggle in the end
Yes it was
Great ❤
Thanks!! 🙏
@@Arlene_witha_yStay Safe 😊
Hello! I would like to express my immense gratitude for these wonderful scenes. I live on the opposite side of the planet, and I watched your video story from beginning to end without interruption. The imagery is so rich in colors, and I was completely immersed in the atmosphere of your journey. It was incredibly interesting. This is the first video I stumbled upon on UA-cam today by chance, and now I have a dream to visit this amazing place! Thank you again.
Hi! I’m so glad you liked it and that you’re now curious about seeing a new place! That is my passion, exploring new amazing places! I will always try to go to new places and document where and post about it. I’m currently working on a video of a place I visited a few weeks ago.
Hey beauty! Haven't seen a video from you in a while. Hope you are well! Your solo trip looked great! 😃
Hey, thank you!!! Yes it’s been hard to edit and work and be a mom with all the life things 🥴
Love the video! Just wish it had better SEO-this deserves a much larger audience. Boost your UA-cam success! Engage viewers with our optimized SEO and striking thumbnail designs for organic growth. 📈✨
Also, a friend of mine lives in Miami and she HATES it. She wants to move to my area which is the Orlando area
I don’t blame her! If I could leave tomorrow I’d be ready to go!
New sub! I <3 you already! 😆😆
Aww thank you!!!! I have a 4th part of my trip to the Tetons video coming up just still editing. And a recent camping trip this weekend. Yes I’m just waiting for my youngest to go off to college to be able to leave and move around doing travel work for a while. I want to see more of the country. Miami has become like a boring small town to me where everything and everyone is the same. Not interested in this shallow city life! I want more nature and quiet away from people!
@@Arlene_witha_y same! Tranquility and only the noises of the birds, ducks, frogs etc lol
Picturesque. And of course, windy af.
Wow what a beautiful view /s❤
Both my dad's parents were born and raised in Teton Valley. I grew up going there all the time, my extended family even has a lodge outside Victor. Love that place.
Wow! I couldn’t believe my eyes every day i was there, being born and raised in Florida!!
yeah, thats such a pretty spot...
So beautiful
Thank you! It was absolutely breathtaking!
Can't hear a thing?! 😢
Sorry it was very windy. I need to get an iPhone microphone. There’s more to see in the whole video linked below. Was saying that in the sunrise/ early morning this is a spectacular image bc the sun hits the barn from the front with the mountains in the back! Wish I could have been able to get there earlier.
So beautiful!! 😮
It really is!
Very nice shots of the area. She should not be photo-bombing the picture.
"She" is the creator of the video and enjoyed being there and is posting it on her own channel thereby is not a "photobomb" and can do whatever she likes but thanks for your 2 cents. You're welcome to take them and pay for your own trip to take your own un-bombed photos yourself.
this is adorable
😅

Hi I sub’d. Hope it’s ok. I think the most annoying thing us loners dislike are uninvited knocks on our doors, and questions about ourselves. I have a dream once my nest is empty (single dad of 4 since April 2014)…to go to some desert and sit on top of a big hill and do nothing for 30 days…oh what a dream. No responsibilities for 30 days straight.
Thanks for the sub. Of course it’s ok!
You look so happy in the lake! Secondly, "I'm really becoming a fan of this hiking thing" made me smile. How did you decide to go to this lake?
Watched tons of videos about this particular park and what are the best places since there’s so many. This lake was on the list of top places.
I hate south Florida. North and central Florida is 1000000x better!
Agreed!
I'm hearing alot of truth to this. At about the 20 minute mark, you discuss what men don't have to pay for and what women do have to pay for. Some men do need to purchase tools, welders, trailers, suits, ties, shoes, all the accessories for these things. Those things are not cheap, I guess it's all perspective. I wonder if all people consider paying for a date romantic?
Single women also need tools and things to maintain their house. A suit and tie isn’t different from a dress, heels and a purse. And it is gentlemanly for a man to pay. At least for early stages of romantic courtship. Once together I wouldn’t mind treating my man to a nice meal from time to time. With that said “all people” are very different. Some women get offended if men open the door for them.
Hey, so are you single? Do you love the outdoors? I like your videos and understand ur point of view. I think? You should look me up.
I just came to your channel today. I like, how open you're talking about the problem you faced, and the rip off in this sense. In the age of social media, I guess rip offs are very common all over the place and all over the net.
19:49 ❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad you finally have a pleasant vacation on your own, as you wanted. Wish you amazing time, Arlene ☀️🕊️
Thank you so much!
How amazing, wishing I had the balls to do a solo trip. In the meantime I’ll live through your videos. 😊
You can!!! You just have to be prepared as in do your research, be well informed so fear doesn’t hold you back! You can do this!
I like MetraRail trains, but if I did it like metro real trains, then I wouldn’t put like
Absolutely beautiful episode, so nicely narrated my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it! Checked out your channel! Subscribed!
Hi Arlene, I really enjoy this style of video - long vlogs with stream of consciousness. We need more authentic vloggers like you! Definitely makes me feel less alone. And I enjoy seeing a slice of life that is different from my own, I’m single/never married/no kids (age 36). I live in Wisconsin. I did recently get a cat who needs a lot of attention so I can relate to that, lol.
Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear there are some people out there who like my content. It really can’t get much fancier than this I’m not a skilled editor. Some peoples channels look like professional network television 😅. Taking it back to the old school authentic UA-cam days.
Oh my God it's honestly SCARY how identical your thoughts and experiences in Miami are to mine literally word for work verbatim. I'm from NJ right across from NYC and not even I could make it in Miami I left after only 2 years. Every job I've worked at there was always severely understaffed to the point where I was often left alone as the only person in the store/office. I made LESS money working IT in Miami than I did working crappy retail/warehousing up here. So much for "no income tax" right? My rent for a studio went from $1100 to $1750 in just a year and the apartment building started to fall apart right after. 5:03 "NIÑA NIÑA" in my case niño THAT'S SO ACCURATE!!! The traffic there is actually worse than it is to go to and from NJ and NYC it would take me over and hour to drive to and from work 5 miles in a straight line on Biscayne. I actually HAD an accident because someone making a turn from the left lane decided to skip the lane and turn all the way to the right where I was going straight and even though I knew exactly what was about to happen I came to a full stop and the back of his car swiped the front of mine and the cop said it was my fault??? Never had to swerve out of the way to avoid getting hit so much in my life and it literally takes 2 seconds to let someone turn onto the lane they need to get to but the BEST part is when they speed up and the way the streets there are set up makes it so theres no option BUT to make a U turn in the middle of the street. Don't even get me STARTED on those out of sync traffic lights that take FOREVER!!! My mail used to get lost all the time too. One problem I never see people talk about is how EVERYTHING at EVERY STORE is ALWAYS out of stock!!! Like bro they don't got NOTHING there ANYWHERE even the store I worked at. Publix is OVERRATED the sandwhiches are mid ShopRite is WAYYY cheaper and the buffet food is so much better. Crime there is absolutely out of control I've noticed once you leave SoBe Brickell Wynwood and Kendall it turns into Iraq real quick crime scene tape bullet holes and drive bys everywhere. 1 of my former coworkers moved to Virginia another NC another to NY and another overseas entirely. Sorry for the long comment but I'm just glad to see that I wasn't alone in this experience
Thank you! You just validated my viewpoint. I know fellow miamians who say I’m just negative that they like it here. Well good for them. I don’t! I unfortunately was hit with the lottery of being born here and not to a wealthy family. I’ve had to bust my butt just to make ends meet and I’m sick of it! I have to stay at least until my youngest graduates high school then she’ll likely go to college but they won’t be small children anymore. They can study and have jobs and i can do my traveling work assignments and at least spend 6 or 9 months out of the year out of this hell hole! Maybe they can come with me during the summer months! But I’m so desperate to leave I feel like 5-6 years is an eternity. My best advice is, don’t marry the wrong person. You’ll be stuck on your own surviving and having to coparent and if you leave you can’t take the kids and if you want to but don’t then you’re abandoning the kids. A couple needs to be really really really strong and put eachother first before having kids. Because those kids will end up being your anchor! So decide where you want to drop it and with who before you do.
Between $70 and $80. Like $74 and change
If not around $65, then it was about one hunnit.
It was around $74!
40:40 Thank YOU, Arlene🌹
Wish you an amazing, magical, peaceful trip, Arlene!🥰
Thank you so much!
I watch, Arlene! I'm glad to see you each time! Twice a week I check your channel just to be sure if I haven't missed a new video. I like your videos and your TRUE speach, your TRUE thoughts
Girl I relate to you so much. Have a great trip 😊
Thank you!!

Oh you spent at least $35. Maybe $40 with tax? You gotta break the bank nowadays. Gum and cliff bars are for rich people now.

Pop up camper would be perfect for you. You can buy used one ✨
Any kind of camper sounds like a dream but really out of my affordability range currently.
This video is a gold for me❤ thank you so much, Arlene 💎🌹 wish you and your family the best 💎🌹☀️🕊️
You are so welcome
I’m at the point in my life where I tried it all, left no stone unturned. Nobody wanted me so f them. I’m going solo rest of my life. I’m so tired of being ghosted, ignored and rejected. Done with it.
As long you like yourself. Don’t look at it like no one wanted you. People look for in others what’s missing in themselves. It’s never really even about the other person it’s about them filling a void. Most love relationships are codependent and end. Real long term whole life relationships are more rare than common. A lot of people just settled with one another and are secretly miserable. Make your own life fulfilling by doing what makes you happy!
