  • This is WAY out of my comfort zone and I'm terrified! I took off in a van by myself for the first time ever to explore my new home region of Tropical North Queensland. Here's what my first few days looked like!

    Phoebe I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your videos, your adventures, and you continuing to be yourself and discovering more about yourself. Even though you have had some hard times you still find ways to make yourself laugh and find ways to find peace and happiness in the little things. Today is a hard day, it marks 5 years since my mom passed away. Every year on this day I pick up the necklace that has her ashes in it and allow myself to remember and grieve. However, your video today made me laugh and smile. It's all because of you that I start off today with a little bit of joy. For that, I thank you. Much love ❤

    I am so self-conscious about vlogging and filming in my city but if I leave my city I am so confident and open. It is strange. I'm not sure why but our home town is a weak spot for us too.

    Hehe. Oh what a cool adventure. I laughed quite a bit. The fish and chips beach dinner when you were sad was lovely. I'm petrified much the same. Soon I'll get a caravan and I'll be heading up from Brisbane to Cairns. Travelling the country is the idea. I'm freaking out. Excited but freaked. But gravel roads will be fine and I can always unhitch the van and just take the ute. Btw your mum's got one hell of a nice van. Love how you called and she must've used the words "strangle" and "if one single scratch" in the same sentence. 😂 Great video and aura about you - I hope you enjoy FNQ and maybe one day we'll bump into each other exploring that area. 👋
    Oh and that page you read was so spot on. Since 2019 all the changes that led me from Melbourne to Brisbane to now caravan life... and what that's all meant. Life is wonderful and pain one day you realise has removed baggage to make way for such an amazing tomorrow.

Your videos helped me figure out things to do in Gold Coast and Brisbane. I am more excited more than ever! This is a solo trip for me as well. My brother is joining me on the second week of my trip. Hopefully the weather says good as I see rain in the forecast. Will plan my days accordingly to the weather.

    As always, another great vlog. Lots of little gems along the way even though you missed the falls. Some moments are meant to be savoured alone and others are meant to be shared. As difficult as it might seem now, when the time is right you will find someone to share those moments. In the meantime, there are tens of thousands with you watching you break drawers 😂 Take care and love yourself.

I'm also a introvert and this seems something so amazing to do and be in the nature, remember your not alone, i am always following you and how you are.. although it's online, just remember i support you.

    Being brave is not about not being terrified, it's about being terrified but still continuing.
    You manage filming yourself really well, if it was my first time watching one of your videos, I'd have thought this was the way you'd always worked. Impressive adaptabiity, even without all the emotional side of things to deal with along the way! Only got five minutes in, 'cause life, but will be sure to come back and watch the rest tomorrow.
    To be honest, I had subscribed ages ago, probably years, but never really connected with your channel until your brave turning point videos, and since you've let us all in at such a personal level, that kinda changed the way I see the videos, and now I feel invested in your journey. Plus it's good to learn from someone who's making this UA-cam thing work for them successfully! But at this point, I enjoy watching 'cause I'm just rooting for you and hoping to see great things ahead. Best of luck!

      Actually, everyone like traveling or looking around, even myself, but with some limitations on work and different condition everyone can not travel as want. Each journey will give us so many useful things and different mixed feelings ; overwhelming, amazing, impressive and, some time, scary and so quiet, but in fact those we touch are the most valuable thing and resulting powerful mind in life. This is real life experiences and freedom and independent life. If I have opportunity and free time, I will start traveling in every Conner of the world. Hope you enjoy your traveling …❤❤❤

    Perfect! That’s the first thought I had when you revealed your surprise. What a perfect-absolutely perfect-trip to take.
    Scary? Yup.
    Intimidating? You betcha.
    Uncomfortable? Absolutely.
    And that’s why it’s perfect!
    Great way to see your new home. Great way to rebuild your confidence.
    * Keep doing the quick “coming up” shots. Great way to tease our interest in the coming video.
    * By doing what scares you, you conquer it, and it’s scary no more. You control it.
    * Great mix of video with narration. Gotta say, just showing your drive really shows how beautiful NQL is-wow. I actually love long distance driving (as long as there aren’t cats crying in the back seat 😂), so those images make me jealous.
    * As a fellow introvert, I know your true moment of bravery is taking that deep breath, opening the door, and stepping outside. And *look* what you saw!! What an incredible spot!!
    * I like when you show the signage of where you are. Gives us a chance to pause and read them. A way for us to join with you.
    * The Josephine Falls are some of the most beautiful images you’ve ever recorded. Seriously, well done.
    * Shout out back at your parents! We’ve seen what they mean to our friend and we can’t help but love them back.
    * “That thing can and will kill you. Let’s go say hello!” 😂
    * Said it in another post and it will forever be true: there’s something magic about a beach.
    * It was just after 6 am when I was first watching and I almost woke up the house laughing when your camera flipped over. 😂
    * The waves of loneliness, I’m sorry to say, will keep coming from time to time. They’ll eventually slow and be further apart. Trick is to find those next moments (like the morning at the beach) when you realize, as you did, “everything’s gonna be okay.”
    * Spectacular video of you in front of the sunrise. Didn’t get a GMYG, but you let the images say that for us-good way to do it. Love how the camera’s focus is not on you, but you and the sun are what draw in the viewer. Again, your video style is really coming out and it is fantastic.
    * Don’t know if I’ve mentioned before, big fan of the music you use and how you integrate it into your editing. That’s gotta take a lot of work to get the timing down. Great job!
    * Yeah, I still see words that seem to be speaking to the pain that you take out of context. After a time, I’ve learned to smile at those words and take their power away from them. “Drifting alone.” No, you’re not. You’re not drifting. You’re taking control. And you found your Magic and Sparkle-we can see it.
    * The best (& most frustrating part) of a road trip is when the navigation fails and you end up…well, damn. Reset and go again tomorrow!
    * My Mom’s over 70 and I’m still terrified of her. I’ll tell your Mom if you need, but only because I’m on the other side of the world-am I far enough away to be safe? 😜
    * Told you that you’ve got this! You can back in that beast, you can do anything!
    * Thank you for sharing that book passage. I know how much those words meant to you-because I watched that segment many times. I wish I had read those words in 2010 when I experienced my loss. Keep those words close to your heart and soul, Phoebe. Listen to them. It’s truth.
    * I’ve rewatched a lot of your videos from the past. They’re fantastic and focus on your journey. What to see, do, and eat, so we can do the same. But now your journey isn’t just to places, it’s within. And just wanted to say thank you for sharing. You say we mean a lot to you in these comments. But you mean a lot to us, too.
    * Homemade comfort food-the best.
    * Looking forward to next week’s journey. Not just where you are going in Australia, but also within your heart. I agree, staying local is the best plan. Rebuild your confidence, rebuild your heart. We’ll be with you all the way. Rob

      hahaha so glad you spotted that camera flip and the 'drifting alone' bit haha I love knowing that I'm layering all these little things into the videos and you're spotting them! Feels like they aren't going to waste :) Thank you! It's very validating so NO do not stop the long reaction comments, they're awesome! It's honestly so nice to see all the hours of hard work reflected back in your comment and know that it's all worth it! Keeps me inspired to spot new things and try new things too.

    Glad you are getting out and exploring your new “hood”! It’s breathtaking and inspiring! Bravery is going out into the unknown and navigating it even though you might be fearful. You are doing that…BRAVE!! There will be good days and bad days, good moments and bad moments but you will navigate those too!
    Your Mom’s van is awesome! I am sure she will forgive you for the little mishap.😅
    Keep doing things that make you feel hopeful and inspired!❤

I am doing Brisbane to Cairns with my son in August for his 10th bday, 14 days on the road, can't wait! Thanks for some suggestions!

    Hi Phoebe!
    I recently came across your videos about a month ago and have been following you since then. Your journey to finding yourself again is going to be fun, exciting, and scary and that's alright because that's part of the journey! You'll be surprised to discover new things about yourself as you continue to grow and find your way again in this crazy but beautiful world we live in. Just take it day by day and heal in your OWN time, not what people tell you. Now is the time to take control of your life again and live for YOU❤.
    P.S. any chance you can share the song that you used in your video (2:10)? It's such a good vibe😁. Thank you!

    You are on a new journey of discovering yourself. Take time to heal and you are doing a good thing by taking a trip on your own. Be positive and life will open up new adventures. My husband and I are embarking on a big trip around Australia in our caravan. We are in our 70s now and it is going to be a great adventure especially for as I am a real home body, I decicided to do this after I had a mini stroke , I am feeling really positive that I can do it.

    Been following along with your journey recently and I am on the same boat. My breakup was last year yet it still feels fresh and it was s very long relationship, so I'm struggling to really let go. Going through it with you is helpful though. You are so right that its an emotional rollercoaster from hour to hour, minute to minute. I am literally down almost all the time, though late at night I get some relief. I'm going on a solo trip next month to Bali. Hopefully that'll help me. I was just there 2 months ago but came home early cause I was feeling so sad. Hopefully take 2 will go better. Wish we could just press a button and take all of this pain away. The loneliness is unbearable.

    • @travelforphoebe

      It's hard cos you don't feel like doing anything but you only feel better if you do the things! You gotta fight so hard to push yourself to do them... get up, get outside, fresh air, walk the dog, see the beach, connect with nature, eat good food, read books, practice gratitude, exercise, get enough sleep, go to work, talk to people. It's WORK, huh! gosh. We'll get through it, don't worry :)

    Many thanks for sharing your explorations locally... I enjoyed this so much and am super excited for the next episode. In 2018, after attending a conference in Brisbane, I flew up to Cairns and took a whistle-stop solo trip in a hired old budget campervan to the Daintree and north to Cooktown. It was a very brief trip because the university had booked my tickets in and out of Australia, but I loved every minute. Thanks so much for taking us along and showing me all the places I should add to my list for a future tropical north Queensland road trip.
