Putting together longer videos can be cumbersome. I missed a few things in this video I meant to edit out. So, you'll see me talking to myself on camera trying to decide what to leave in the final video.. that got left in by mistake. Some real life behind the scenes for you. I also left in a caption that said to stay tuned next Sunday for the hike. I decided to make it one whole video and forgot to edit that out. I hope you love watching this video as much as I loved living it and creating it! Thank you so much for watching!
Carolyn, I have been following you for a long time now. Although I enjoy your perspective in creating your videos, and all of the 'normal, everyday' inclusions you put in, I think one of my most favorite parts of your videos is your excitement in finding new places and new things. I just enjoy that you enjoy life. This video is yet another gem. Thank you.
Does anyone else love the quiet "crunch crunch crunch" of Carolyn walking on sand/gravel roads? It's very meditative to me, when paired with the beautiful views of nature. A soothing, rhythmic paced sound.
Carolyn, idk if you know this but if people click on the comments in your videos it helps your channel to grow your $$. If you ask your audience to like all the comments tell them it helps your channel. Monetize it in every way you can girl. ❤❤
This was such a great video! So awesome watching you two hike in the beautiful landscape, and to see Sadie run free in the white sand and finally reaching the beach with so much energy! It took my breath away hearing the waves roar! Great photography throughout! Wow!
I will never understand why people have such a problem with nomads having animals! Did you see the epic morning walk miss Sadie got to take! Unlike dogs who are forced to live in the same fenced yard daily, she is out roaming the beaches,mountains and desserts of the world! Not to mention the fact that her extremely happy mama adores her! The love between you and Sadie is apparent just by watching the two of you interact! I’d say Sadie has an absolutely amazing dog life!
This whole video was AWESOME but OMG the last 15 minutes was the best. Nothing more beautiful than pure white sand and the sand dunes with the clear blue ocean and sky. Blessings!
I really love seeing anyone who has come to their own authenticity. Individual uniqueness is always a compelling expression! Very few people in the world have surrendered to it but you have. Refreshing
I am a single 64 yr. old woman, currently a Van lifer and have travelled in Mexico numerous times including the Baja and the Pacific Coast twice ..I also live and have a farm in Ecuador and have spent time on the coast land . I am tough, and for the most part fearless, however I would never hike alone along the beach in a remote area in Mexico or any other Latin American foreign country for that matter . I have had locals tell me not to wander out of sight when I have been birding near town.
I hear you, I feel scared for her at times. I mean people disappear and there are bad people out there. Then I remember that Carolyn lives her life with no fear. Like her 🧢 says 'Fear Less Live More' right? She is my modern day female hero ☺ living life to the fullest no matter what ♥
They are prayer stations, light a candle, say a prayer, and give thanks for weary travelers for safe travels. My husband and I traveled a lot through Mexico and it was so nice to just stop and reflect about our journey. We enjoyed stopping for a rest by these little prayer stations, we could eat some lunch and possibly take a nap and reflect on the landscape. Mexico is beautiful with wonderful people in it.
I loved seeing and hearing the ocean and yes, I agree with you, we do live on a Global world and have a whole Universe to explore too. Sorry to hear about your ex husband, and glad you talked about him, I send you my condolences about him. The sea air carries to the desert and maybe reverse? I was told the Sahara desert carries across from the desert to the other parts of the world so would make sense that could happen in other parts of the world. what I learned about those " shrines" or little churches, I'm told the locals stop and pray and gives people from other parts of the world to stop and pray, a quiet moment. Enjoy the road less traveled Carolyn. Thanks for sharing the pacific ocean and the desert. Happy Boon docking! Sea air is good on you Carolyn, you seem relaxed! As a side note, I recalled yesterday about the USA for Africa I remember that Live Aid (Queen) Full Concert 1985, things that the US and Canada used to do, we use to have telethons and show genuine care, it's like a bad dream and where did that go?
Hahaha. My daughter and I have been learning Spanish on Duolingo for over a year but now you taught me a new word.. We may never have learned ass hole on Duolingo. Thank you so much. 🐢🐩🐶🐕💜✨🌺🌈🌻🌊☮️
A great adventure, fun to go along with you and Sadie, thanks Carolyn. "Life goes on and on And when it's gone It lives in someone new It's not somethin' you get over But it's somethin' you get through" Willie Nelson
You are so right about getting out and seeing other countries, other cultures. My husband is a Retired Navy CDR. and he travelled the world and saw so many things, cultures, foods etc.... He's happy he went in the Navy and learned so much and saw so much. I'm sorry about your ex-husband. Also yes, we never know about tomorrow or next week etc. Enjoy life every day like it's the last day. Enjoy everything, take it all in. I admire you for doing what you do. Continue to enjoy and love life to the fullest. Love you girl. Stay safe.
Great video of the ocean!!!❤ You captured it well!!! The noise at the cavern was something!!! Spooky 😮The sky view is absolutely beautiful ❤️ Desert plants are beautiful!!! ❣️ Sadie is a ticket, just a happy one!!!
“Heavily populated Latino communities.” And “Grandiose religious buildings”…..And how beautiful to see the new growth amid all that stone, rock and shell covered ground! Muchos gracias!!
Sorry for your loss. Thank you for some real talk that people need to hear. Getting out of the "mouth of the hollar" is the only way people can have their eyes opened to reality.
She is Beautiful !!!,, Her Love for you & Yours for her,, is Beautiul !! The Travels you Share are beyond compare !! :))) ~~~ I have Traverersed a long rime with Not only my SIBS & Sled dogs, but also those WONDERFUL ANIMALS, THAT HAVE SHARED THEIR LIVES WITH US, IN SERVICE,, & AT TIMES GIVEN THEIR LIVES FOR US... meanwhile, Leaving that all behind... T.Y. for sharing your & Sadie's Journey !! Keep Well !!! :)))
I love traveling America and I also love traveling the world! Also, I retired at age 62 and hit the road with my dog. I love talking to people and hearing stories about where they live.
The views of the desert with the agave plants and cacti look just like South Africa in the karoo desert . Absolutely stunning. Carolyn, you'd love South Africa, beautiful beaches, amazing mountains, and desert too, land of friendly people and amazing landscapes.
Travel lets you see that we are all human. Not better than someone else because of what they do for a living, but respectful of our common human experiences. You said it very eloquently. Thanks Carolyn.
Thank you for providing some of your insights from your past studies and your experiences on this trip to suggest analogies to what in now happening in the U.S. and what it could devolve into. I say this as I follow your adventure on Google Maps - Satellite View.
Thanks for taking me along to Baha Mexico. I enjoy your videos. You do a good job. I recently saw a bit on think 60 Minutes interviewing the president of Mexico. He talked about spending on infrastructure and business in Mexico. You might find it intriguing.
The end of this video was especially AMAZING❣ I think you and Sadie made it to a place where very few humans have been!!!! Looks like paradise, like heaven on earth❤ Definitely one of, if not my favorite videos you've made. Sorry for your loss😢 💙🦋💙
Ok, you had me in tears about the words mix up! I can't agree with you more about being open to experiences outside our little bubbles. So many, like your late ex-husband, never get out of their own bubbles. They never experience other perspectives, cultures, ideas, ways of thinking. They live their lives so close to "home" and their universe is so tiny, so limited. It's why so many ultra-haters hate universities and the idea of travel. So often, going to University is the first time people meet others from other countries, other states, other counties. People with different families, backgrounds, ideas, perspectives and that threatens those who refuse to see. Don't ever stop speaking your truth!
Be careful...be very careful. You are not competition to any one person... especially a man who is from some other country, does not care about you while you've placed yourself in a precarious and questionable situation. It may be difficult to account for you. Care freedom and common sense are TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS! Wishing you safely, guidance and ease of mind.
I just came to the end you made it! You made it to the the ocean! And Sadie looks so happy...she's running and jumping and oh, it just makes me so happy to see her enjoyi it all.❤ Carolyn, youre a good doggie mom! Ive had a great time with you2, ty😊
Freaking amazing Carolyn! Beautiful! What a hike. I was born January 25 1960 and i want out of my sticks and bricks so bad. I have watched since you started. I pray i live long enough to do it.
My friend and I go to Mexico often, The last time we went down I bought a sombrero from a lady on the street and paid her $20. I came home and went to the local tribal lumber store in town and found that same hat for $12. Told my friend Oh well at least she could feed her family that night. My part of helping them down there.
Going SLOW in BAJA is the ONLY PART of this trip through 'BAJA' that messes with my brain; however, That is what I'd want to do. Take it all in slowly by bicycle. 😅❤
Hi Carolyn I watched the entire video. What a wonderful experience you had with Sadie and your friends. Thank you so much for sharing your life. And yes you are right, dont wait and wait for a holiday to happen. My condolences for your loss.
I always wanted to travel the world, but didn't want to pay for it, so I joined the Navy,,, BEST decision ever. Went all over. A few years ago, I bought a beat-up RV and traveled the country,, didn't do as much as I wanted, but got to quite a few different states.
I found this to be so relaxing, and I had time, not rushed to sit back and wander with you. Sadie had been walking/trotting as she does for awhile and warm but when hit the white sand and dunes she took off, I think she's an Ocean girl too! I'm very sorry to hear the news you received and understand how deeply it strikes even years and years later.
OMG, thank you so much for this video. I especially appreciate the hike into the rough stuff. I will never get to see areas like that because my legs no longer cooperate with my mind's desires. The ocean sounds, the beauty of the desert, and the obsession with boondocking are deeply ingrained into my soul. There were so many things I was saying to you as you walked and talked. I couldn't write it all down, but I was enjoying our chat. LOL, I do this with most of your travel videos. I wonder how many other friendlies do that? It's probably why you feel like a close friend to me because I talk to you a lot. I gotta tell you that sound echoing off the rock faces were very eerie. Not just dog noises, some groaning and creaking noises as well, gave me a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach. My sympathies for your loss, I understand the feeling. I've out lasted 3 of my 4 husbands, and it is a true loss. I've rambled long enough, thank you again, I love seeing these sights through your eyes and thoughts. ☮️
Your very right As a long term ICU nurse you see it all the time People get to retirement, worked hard all their life and then they get sick and it’s all over. Sorry for your loss.
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing everything. Every moment had something special and the nature is breathtaking. We do need a place to be quiet, take our minds off our troubles or busyness, get grounded into the present moment and just be. We are so busy doing, we forget to be. Only then can we notice the beauty of nature. It ebbs and flows. Nature knows when to rest and when to blossom. Look how beautiful everything was when you were walking and really stopped to look closely at the plants, notice the smells, see all the spring flowers, bees, stones, white sands, views, skies, clouds, rocks, walj on the beach, pick up sea shells, listen to the waves, etc. If you had been rushing and driving, you would have missed it all. Instead, you filled up your soul with the beauty of it all. It made me sad to hear about your ex husband that passed. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry to hear that he never got to travel. 😢 May he rest in peace. 💐 One if my biggest fears working in the corporate world most of my life, was that I would die running like a slave on the treadmill. The whole system is set up to keep us down. I am awake and very aware of it. How we are all being controlled. That is a whole other conversation. And for those that have not woken up yet, it can be very triggering. If people did not wake up and realuse what was being done to us globally in 2020, 2021 and into 2022, then nithing will wake them up. Some will stay stuck where they are oblivious. Freedom has been robbed from us. I had travelled to many countries, but could only travel when I took annual leave when I was working. I had a big title, worked my rear end off, and had very little to show for it. We are slaves. They want to keep us dumbed down, living from paychecj ti paycheck. Just never quite having enough to go and buy a house cash. Oh no. They force the pruces of property sky high. Make you pay a bond off for 20 odd years. You pay interests for 20 odd years and paid for that house 3 to 5 times more over the 20 years. You think you own your house. You do not, the bank owns it until you pay back what you loaned through your teeth. The whole banking and financial fiat currency based system is rigged against us. The banking cartels run everything behind the scenes. I woke up a long time ago. One has to be in the system and out of the system which is a challange. Look at your trip. You still need fiat money/currency to buy things. You even had to pay just to stop at the beach. There is always someone trying to get money. Until you left and went boondocking as you say. Just to get peace. In 2011 I fixed up my house, and sold it. The bond repayments were too high. The 2008 property crisis affected everyone around the world. It took a stressful year to sell my house. I quit my job. In 2012 I moved across country, lived at the coast for 2 years, then moved to another part of the country and lived in a nature reserve right at the coast for 4 years. After my partner and I broke up, I went back to the city where I grew up. I did not fit in there anymore. In 2019, I travelled to Europe and never left. Now I live in Europe on the otherside of the world. I have been to quite a few countries since then. My now partner and I have a camper van. I like having a home base, and I like having the van to get in and go. 😅 Glad you got your corn tortilla s. Tgey look delicious. I loved the last part of the video so much. The white sand and beach were beautuful. It was worth the hike to the beach. Sadie is such an incredibly smart and beautiful fur baby, in her element running free and loving exploring. It's so nice to see you both so happy and together. Thank you for showing us the sandollars and the papery shell is called a jingle. I have a vase of beautiful papery jingles in those golden pinkish colours. I really wanted to know if the beaches there had shells. I know you may not have space, but I would have been shell collecting for sure. I love drift wood, sun bleached white shells and bone, feathers, beautiful shells, pebbles and all things beach. I collected prickly cockes on the beach in Italy last year. They were prolific. I went back the next day and they were gine, the sea was rough for a few days. Dont ask me why there were lots of prickly cockles and then none. I did find beautiful pebbles, they seemed to wash up one day. Then they were gone. I guess it depends on the tides. I have learned to pick up shells when I see them and not put it off until tomorrow. Things change. 😅 That's where you will find me, at the beach and I love swimming. I have travelled in Namibia in the desert with a friend of mine many times. It is another world. I also love it. I love finding crystals. There is something freeing about looking into the horizon and open space. Last year I had a three week school holiday break. I was going to an adult school as I'm learning a new language which is German. I speak 4 languages. I am English and Italian. So yes, we drove to Italy in July/Aug in 2023. All I wanted to do was get to the beach and swim. Once summer comes, that's where my heart is pulling me. Enjoy your life, and live it to the fullest. And you are. It's beautiful to see you and Sadie living a wonderful life. ❤ Stay safe, as your last caption said you had trouble. Sending big hugs to you and Sadie. Lv from Germany 🤗👋💕
Honey I too am so sorry to hear about your ex husband! I was crying when you told the story of him passing and how he didn't get to go to a lot of States. And it is true that no one is promised tomorrow, you are so right about a lot things. God Bless you and your sweet Sadie! ❤️
I’ve only been out of the country once….Romania….and it made me MORE appreciative of what we I have here in the United States. It humbles you in many ways. Travel whenever you can! To date…I’ve never had better farm fresh eggs and homemade cheese!
Wonderful video! I love your perspective on international travel - I think that it should be a college requirement to spend at least one semester in a different country in order to get your degree. Foreign travel actually makes you appreciate our country more and makes one want to fight to keep it a true democracy. And your explanation of how fascism is seeps in to a culture was great. Thanks!
I wanted to tell you first of all. I'm sorry for your loss. I believe you are absolutely right about getting outside of your culture and learning about other people's cultures. I have gone all the way into Central Mexico I have been to every state in the United States of America. I enjoyed my travels as a young woman now I'm 60 getting ready to do it again. My first trip will be back to Mexico to visit the places I've been in the past. I look forward to it and seeing old friends that are still there. God bless you and safe travel
My husband and i bought our RV and part of it was we didnt want to wait until it was too late... so sorry for your loss... thee calender is going to be fabulous am waiting to see the rest of your adventure ...
Absolutely beautiful Carolyn. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this excursion. Sending you love and peace regarding your former husbands passing. You are intrepid and wonderful. ☮️💜Ann of Daytona
I know about loss of a spouse even if it was Ex or not it’s part of your life and it’s the worst part of life is the death. Your walk was amazing!! My shell funds were actually in Mexico also in 2016 after the death of my oldest son my other 2 kids and l went to Mazatlan. Today is the last day in my apartment as l start a journey to find myself. I do love all the effort and hard work you put into your videos ❤
i just love your videos. i found your channel not long ago and i love every aspect of your videos. i’m 53 and have dreamed of full time RV life for my working retirement. I think my dog Olive would love it too. Thank you for sharing your life and travels. ❤
Hi. Found your channel couple months ago. You and Sadie are awesome. I'm not an Rver yet, just love your stories and seeing the places you visit. Thanks for sharing your life with us. 😊
Your so right enjoy every day we need money to live but I'm rich being able to look at the sea flowers and the lovely trees and much more Linda in the UK I love what you do thankyou
Hope to God you don’t have a medical emergency. Everyone should watch the story of the 14 year old girl on the channel the inn church. Such a sad loss.
My ex-husband and I drove down the Baja with a 44-foot fifth wheel and a 1-ton dually. The roads are very narrow. Sometimes, you overlook Ravines as you're driving, and that can be quite scary. We had a great time. We came across a checkpoint and they were carrying assault rifles, we just smiled and gave them a nice cold drink because they're out in the middle of nowhere and complied with them, they wanted to search the RV, which was fine with us. Carolyn is right, take your time and just enjoy yourself. If you're not very good with Spanish, hire yourself an interpreter to go with you.
Thankyou for the trip and finally the beautiful sound of the surf. I’m going to find a little spot on Lake Erie quiet spot to sit for awhile and snack listen to the waves. Call it my own
The ocean is so beautiful! I am enjoying your Mexico adventures. I think my favorite shells which were big sand dollars like you found was in San Francisco. I found so many on a walk back in 1987. I still have them. I felt like I hit the lottery. I have been beach combing all my life. Like my mother and now my daughter. The beach is our happy place. So sorry about your ex husband. Safe travels mi amiga. 🌞🦋💖
I could use a thousand wow emojis for this video. The beach was just breathtaking. I can't thank you enough for your perseverance to keep walking to share with us. It's one of my favorite videos yet, and I've been here for a few years now. I'm a 71 yr old disabled nurse who used to take long walks. The water was always one of my favorite experiences, and this one just washed over me with the beauty. Thank you and Sadie. ❤❤ edited to add how sorry I am for your loss. My ex passed at 52, and although we couldn't make it work, I was devastated.
Oh, wow! My condolences. The love of my life (we weren’t together) died at 55 in an auto accident a few years ago. It was difficult (to say the least). That “I alone can fix it” shit (& being an expert on EVERYTHING) told me all I needed to know! Plant: an example of the Fibonacci sequence?
I believe that asparagus plant is a Century Plant, which is an agave. Looks like there is brittlebush blooming. Those are shrines to Mary. They have a lot of those in southern AZ and NM. That looked like a wolf spider.
Foresty Forest went to Mexico with his bicycle. He got kidnapped, beaten up and his bank account was emptied. He said that he'll never go there again. I don't blame him. I respect your decision to travel where it could be a danger for your well being. I live in Canada. If I travel somewhere during the winter to go where a milder climate li Arizona I wouldn't mind living there for the winter. I'd feel much more safer in Arizona than Mexico.
Putting together longer videos can be cumbersome. I missed a few things in this video I meant to edit out. So, you'll see me talking to myself on camera trying to decide what to leave in the final video.. that got left in by mistake. Some real life behind the scenes for you.
I also left in a caption that said to stay tuned next Sunday for the hike. I decided to make it one whole video and forgot to edit that out.
I hope you love watching this video as much as I loved living it and creating it!
Thank you so much for watching!
Are you crazy! Mexico is not safe!
Oh you are human after all! 😂 you don’t need to apologize for edit mistakes. Sh!t happens.
Happy Easter!!🐰🐣🐇✝️🥚🧺🙏🐤⛪ (Another one spent alone, for me anyway).
Enjoy your nature walk and history of the places you visit !! I could truly do what you are doing but right now taking care of a husband! Bitter/sweet
I love when I see "mistakes",, life happens!
Carolyn, I have been following you for a long time now. Although I enjoy your perspective in creating your videos, and all of the 'normal, everyday' inclusions you put in, I think one of my most favorite parts of your videos is your excitement in finding new places and new things.

Listening to your words.. Same goes for loving every person even with their faults and what you may disagree with.
Enjoy the outdoors looks relaxing and peaceful.
This was such a great video! So awesome watching you two hike in the beautiful landscape, and to see Sadie run free in the white sand and finally reaching the beach with so much energy! It took my breath away hearing the waves roar! Great photography throughout! Wow!
I will never understand why people have such a problem with nomads having animals! Did you see the epic morning walk miss Sadie got to take!

That dog has a better life than I do! Lol. Very lucky dog travelling all over and well looked after. She looks very content and adjusted.
Thank you for sharing these adventures! ❤
This whole video was AWESOME but OMG the last 15 minutes was the best. Nothing more beautiful than pure white sand and the sand dunes with the clear blue ocean and sky. Blessings!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The desert is so beautiful! To me, the Sonoran Desert is the most beautiful place on earth. 🌵🌵
I really love seeing anyone who has come to their own authenticity. Individual uniqueness is always a compelling expression! Very few people in the world have surrendered to it but you have. Refreshing
I love the sounds of the waves coming to shore. Condolences Carolyn on your loss ❤
I am a single 64 yr. old woman, currently a Van lifer and have travelled in Mexico numerous times including the Baja and the Pacific Coast twice ..I also live and have a farm in Ecuador and have spent time on the coast land . I am tough, and for the most part fearless, however I would never hike alone along the beach in a remote area in Mexico or any other Latin American foreign country for that matter .

Sadie is one lucky dog. She has you caring for her and she has the freedom to run and explore I love to watch her in the background.
You are so right about getting out and seeing other countries, other cultures. My husband is a Retired Navy CDR. and he travelled the world and saw so many things, cultures, foods etc....

She is!!!
“Heavily populated Latino communities.” And “Grandiose religious buildings”…..And how beautiful to see the new growth amid all that stone, rock and shell covered ground! Muchos gracias!!
HI CAROLYN..I REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO YOU DID..MUST OF BEEN SO AWESOME TO FIND THE BEACH..KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDEOS
Sorry for your loss. Thank you for some real talk that people need to hear. Getting out of the "mouth of the hollar" is the only way people can have their eyes opened to reality.
Sadie is the luckiest dog ever!
She is Beautiful !!!,, Her Love for you & Yours for her,, is Beautiul !!

Spectacular desert scenes. Yes peaceful and tranquility with Mother Nature❤️
Thank you for providing some of your insights from your past studies and your experiences on this trip to suggest analogies to what in now happening in the U.S. and what it could devolve into. I say this as I follow your adventure on Google Maps - Satellite View.
My pleasure! And how cool that you're following along on Google maps. That's exciting!! Enjoy
I have been too! I've enjoyed watching every step of your Baja travels.
Thanks for taking me along to Baha Mexico. I enjoy your videos. You do a good job.
I recently saw a bit on think 60 Minutes interviewing the president of Mexico. He talked about spending on infrastructure and business in Mexico. You might find it intriguing.

I can't agree with you more about being open to experiences outside our little bubbles.
So many, like your late ex-husband, never get out of their own bubbles. They never experience other perspectives, cultures, ideas, ways of thinking. They live their lives so close to "home" and their universe is so tiny, so limited. It's why so many ultra-haters hate universities and the idea of travel. So often, going to University is the first time people meet others from other countries, other states, other counties. People with different families, backgrounds, ideas, perspectives and that threatens those who refuse to see.
Don't ever stop speaking your truth!
Amazing awesome and beautiful journey. Sadie enjoyed the hike too.
keep up the journeys.
Glad you enjoyed it
Appreciate the "As I see it" inputs in the video. It's a beautiful World.❤
It really is!
Thanks
Thanks again Catherine! I appreciate you!
Be careful...be very careful. You are not competition to any one person... especially a man who is from some other country, does not care about you while you've placed yourself in a precarious and questionable situation. It may be difficult to account for you. Care freedom and common sense are TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS!
Wishing you safely, guidance and ease of mind.
Beautiful ocean front view 😍 Amazing video, thank you for sharing. Happy Easter Carolyn & Sadie 🐣
I just came to the end you made it! You made it to the the ocean! And Sadie looks so happy...she's running and jumping and oh, it just makes me so happy to see her enjoyi it all.❤ Carolyn, youre a good doggie mom!
Ive had a great time with you2, ty😊
Cant wait till next Sunday! This was breath taking
Carolyn, Experiences in different countries etc… are a true experience of life!
❤Love these long beautiful videos Carolyn.❤🐾
Thank you so much!
Freaking amazing Carolyn! Beautiful! What a hike. I was born January 25 1960 and i want out of my sticks and bricks so bad. I have watched since you started. I pray i live long enough to do it.
My friend and I go to Mexico often, The last time we went down I bought a sombrero from a lady on the street and paid her $20. I came home and went to the local tribal lumber store in town and found that same hat for $12. Told my friend Oh well at least she could feed her family that night. My part of helping them down there.
Tourist pay tourist prices even in our own country while traveling I noticed.
Thank you for bringing us on this journey. To places I've never known. Landscape I'll never see. Such beauty.
Going SLOW in BAJA is the ONLY PART of this trip through 'BAJA' that messes with my brain; however, That is what I'd want to do. Take it all in slowly by bicycle. 😅❤
Hi Carolyn I watched the entire video. What a wonderful experience you had with Sadie and your friends. Thank you so much for sharing your life. And yes you are right, dont wait and wait for a holiday to happen. My condolences for your loss.
This is why I watch these videos! I want to go here now. I hope I can!!
I always wanted to travel the world, but didn't want to pay for it, so I joined the Navy,,, BEST decision ever. Went all over. A few years ago, I bought a beat-up RV and traveled the country,, didn't do as much as I wanted, but got to quite a few different states.
Thank you for taking us along. I needed that today.
You are so welcome! Thank you very much for watching!
I found this to be so relaxing, and I had time, not rushed to sit back and wander with you. Sadie had been walking/trotting as she does for awhile and warm but when hit the white sand and dunes she took off, I think she's an Ocean girl too!
I'm very sorry to hear the news you received and understand how deeply it strikes even years and years later.
CAROLYN Well worth the wait . I just love the desert. THANKS AGAIN.❤❤❤
Essence captured. Cherish every moment we have. Thank you!
OMG, thank you so much for this video. I especially appreciate the hike into the rough stuff. I will never get to see areas like that because my legs no longer cooperate with my mind's desires. The ocean sounds, the beauty of the desert, and the obsession with boondocking are deeply ingrained into my soul.
There were so many things I was saying to you as you walked and talked. I couldn't write it all down, but I was enjoying our chat. LOL, I do this with most of your travel videos. I wonder how many other friendlies do that? It's probably why you feel like a close friend to me because I talk to you a lot.
I gotta tell you that sound echoing off the rock faces were very eerie. Not just dog noises, some groaning and creaking noises as well, gave me a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach.
My sympathies for your loss, I understand the feeling. I've out lasted 3 of my 4 husbands, and it is a true loss.
I've rambled long enough, thank you again, I love seeing these sights through your eyes and thoughts. ☮️
Your very right
As a long term ICU nurse you see it all the time
People get to retirement, worked hard all their life and then they get sick and it’s all over.
Sorry for your loss.
Ive been watching a bunch of your videos and I just want to tell you how much I enjoy them. TFS. 😊
Wow, thank you!
I look forward to watching! Thanks Carolyn!! ~M
I think you're going to really enjoy this! I enjoyed making it!
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing everything.
Every moment had something special and the nature is breathtaking.
We do need a place to be quiet, take our minds off our troubles or busyness, get grounded into the present moment and just be.
We are so busy doing, we forget to be.
Only then can we notice the beauty of nature.
It ebbs and flows. Nature knows when to rest and when to blossom.
Look how beautiful everything was when you were walking and really stopped to look closely at the plants, notice the smells, see all the spring flowers, bees, stones, white sands, views, skies, clouds, rocks, walj on the beach, pick up sea shells, listen to the waves, etc.
If you had been rushing and driving, you would have missed it all.
Instead, you filled up your soul with the beauty of it all.
It made me sad to hear about your ex husband that passed. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry to hear that he never got to travel. 😢 May he rest in peace. 💐
One if my biggest fears working in the corporate world most of my life, was that I would die running like a slave on the treadmill.
The whole system is set up to keep us down.
I am awake and very aware of it. How we are all being controlled.
That is a whole other conversation. And for those that have not woken up yet, it can be very triggering.
If people did not wake up and realuse what was being done to us globally in 2020, 2021 and into 2022, then nithing will wake them up. Some will stay stuck where they are oblivious.
Freedom has been robbed from us.
I had travelled
to many countries, but could only travel when I took annual leave when I was working.
I had a big title, worked my rear end off, and had very little to show for it. We are slaves. They want to keep us dumbed down, living from paychecj ti paycheck. Just never quite having enough to go and buy a house cash. Oh no. They force the pruces of property sky high. Make you pay a bond off for 20 odd years. You pay interests for 20 odd years and paid for that house 3 to 5 times more over the 20 years.
You think you own your house. You do not, the bank owns it until you pay back what you loaned through your teeth.
The whole banking and financial fiat currency based system is rigged against us.
The banking cartels run everything behind the scenes.
I woke up a long time ago. One has to be in the system and out of the system which is a challange.
Look at your trip.
You still need fiat money/currency to buy things.
You even had to pay just to stop at the beach. There is always someone trying to get money.
Until you left and went boondocking as you say. Just to get peace.
In 2011 I fixed up my house, and sold it. The bond repayments were too high. The 2008 property crisis affected everyone around the world.
It took a stressful year to sell my house. I quit my job.
In 2012 I moved across country, lived at the coast for 2 years, then moved to another part of the country and lived in a nature reserve right at the coast for 4 years.
After my partner and I broke up,
I went back to the city where I grew up.
I did not fit in there anymore.
In 2019, I travelled to Europe and never left.
Now I live in Europe on the otherside of the world.
I have been to quite a few countries since then.
My now partner and I have a camper van.
I like having a home base, and I like having the van to get in and go. 😅
Glad you got your corn tortilla s. Tgey look delicious.
I loved the last part of the video so much. The white sand and beach were beautuful.
It was worth the hike to the beach.
Sadie is such an incredibly smart and beautiful fur baby, in her element running free and loving exploring.
It's so nice to see you both so happy and together.
Thank you for showing us the sandollars and the papery shell is called a jingle.
I have a vase of beautiful papery jingles in those golden pinkish colours.
I really wanted to know if the beaches there had shells.
I know you may not have space, but I would have been shell collecting for sure.
I love drift wood, sun bleached white shells and bone, feathers, beautiful shells, pebbles and all things beach.
I collected prickly cockes on the beach in Italy last year. They were prolific. I went back the next day and they were gine, the sea was rough for a few days.
Dont ask me why there were lots of prickly cockles and then none.
I did find beautiful pebbles, they seemed to wash up one day. Then they were gone. I guess it depends on the tides.
I have learned to pick up shells when I see them and not put it off until tomorrow. Things change. 😅
That's where you will find me, at the beach and I love swimming.
I have travelled in Namibia in the desert with a friend of mine many times. It is another world. I also love it. I love finding crystals.
There is something freeing about looking into the horizon and open space.
Last year I had a three week school holiday break. I was going to an adult school as I'm learning a new language which is German.
I speak 4 languages.
I am English and Italian.
So yes, we drove to Italy in July/Aug in 2023.
All I wanted to do was get to the beach and swim.
Once summer comes, that's where my heart is pulling me.
Enjoy your life, and live it to the fullest. And you are. It's beautiful to see you and Sadie living a wonderful life. ❤
Stay safe, as your last caption said you had trouble.
Sending big hugs to you and Sadie. Lv from Germany 🤗👋💕
Although I travel internationally, we can now stay in USA and experience all cultures!
The ocean colors are so blue and beautiful
All my favorite shells are from Baja. Such a magical place. So glad you got to do that walk-bet it will be a fantastic memory forever!
Honey I too am so sorry to hear about your ex husband! I was crying when you told the story of him passing and how he didn't get to go to a lot of States. And it is true that no one is promised tomorrow, you are so right about a lot things. God Bless you and your sweet Sadie! ❤️
I’ve only been out of the country once….Romania….and it made me MORE appreciative of what we I have here in the United States. It humbles you in many ways. Travel whenever you can! To date…I’ve never had better farm fresh eggs and homemade cheese!
Wonderful video! I love your perspective on international travel - I think that it should be a college requirement to spend at least one semester in a different country in order to get your degree. Foreign travel actually makes you appreciate our country more and makes one want to fight to keep it a true democracy. And your explanation of how fascism is seeps in to a culture was great. Thanks!
Beautiful! A beach with no people, the best kind! 🌞❤️😃
I wanted to tell you first of all. I'm sorry for your loss. I believe you are absolutely right about getting outside of your culture and learning about other people's cultures. I have gone all the way into Central Mexico I have been to every state in the United States of America. I enjoyed my travels as a young woman now I'm 60 getting ready to do it again. My first trip will be back to Mexico to visit the places I've been in the past. I look forward to it and seeing old friends that are still there. God bless you and safe travel
My husband and i bought our RV and part of it was we didnt want to wait until it was too late... so sorry for your loss... thee calender is going to be fabulous am waiting to see the rest of your adventure ...
Agree Carolyn about being honest about our own Country. Enjoying all your content as always.
What a wonderful video. I enjoyed it so much! Love to see Sadie having fun ! I appreciate your insights into experiencing other cultures.
Absolutely beautiful Carolyn.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this excursion.
Sending you love and peace regarding your former husbands passing. You are intrepid and wonderful.

I know about loss of a spouse even if it was Ex or not it’s part of your life and it’s the worst part of life is the death. Your walk was amazing!! My shell funds were actually in Mexico also in 2016 after the death of my oldest son my other 2 kids and l went to Mazatlan. Today is the last day in my apartment as l start a journey to find myself. I do love all the effort and hard work you put into your videos ❤
i just love your videos. i found your channel not long ago and i love every aspect of your videos. i’m 53 and have dreamed of full time RV life for my working retirement. I think my dog Olive would love it too. Thank you for sharing your life and travels. ❤
That is awesome! Thank you for watching!
Thank-You for the Pay OFF !!! The whole VID WAS A GIFT !!! : BEST OF WISHES to You & Sadie !!! XXXX~~ Nahanni
Thanks for another great video. It’s beautiful there. Happy Easter to you and Sadie. Your beautiful people
Hi. Found your channel couple months ago. You and Sadie are awesome. I'm not an Rver yet, just love your stories and seeing the places you visit. Thanks for sharing your life with us. 😊
You aren't walking alone, you have Sadie!
You seem healthier and happier in Mexico
Your so right enjoy every day we need money to live but I'm rich being able to look at the sea flowers and the lovely trees and much more Linda in the UK I love what you do thankyou
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Beautiful soothing photography Carolyn, thank you!
Hope to God you don’t have a medical emergency. Everyone should watch the story of the 14 year old girl on the channel the inn church. Such a sad loss.
Thank you for sharing all the plant life there, there's always something we've never seen before
My ex-husband and I drove down the Baja with a 44-foot fifth wheel and a 1-ton dually. The roads are very narrow. Sometimes, you overlook Ravines as you're driving, and that can be quite scary. We had a great time. We came across a checkpoint and they were carrying assault rifles, we just smiled and gave them a nice cold drink because they're out in the middle of nowhere and complied with them, they wanted to search the RV, which was fine with us. Carolyn is right, take your time and just enjoy yourself. If you're not very good with Spanish, hire yourself an interpreter to go with you.
Thankyou for the trip and finally the beautiful sound of the surf. I’m going to find a little spot on Lake Erie quiet spot to sit for awhile and snack listen to the waves. Call it my own
Fabulous! Fabulous! Thank you for taking me to the beach in Mexico …….its been too long!
Just simply well-done Carolyn, and Sadie girl is lucky to have you!
Amazing walk. Thanks for sharing
Wow---This video is in your top 10!!! Loved your hike to that gorgeous white sand beach and of course Sadie roaming around!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful. Thank you. Hugs to you and Sadie.
The ocean is so beautiful! I am enjoying your Mexico adventures. I think my favorite shells which were big sand dollars like you found was in San Francisco. I found so many on a walk back in 1987. I still have them. I felt like I hit the lottery. I have been beach combing all my life. Like my mother and now my daughter. The beach is our happy place.
So sorry about your ex husband.
Safe travels mi amiga. 🌞🦋💖
I could use a thousand wow emojis for this video. The beach was just breathtaking. I can't thank you enough for your perseverance to keep walking to share with us. It's one of my favorite videos yet, and I've been here for a few years now. I'm a 71 yr old disabled nurse who used to take long walks. The water was always one of my favorite experiences, and this one just washed over me with the beauty. Thank you and Sadie. ❤❤
edited to add how sorry I am for your loss. My ex passed at 52, and although we couldn't make it work, I was devastated.
Oh, wow! My condolences.
The love of my life (we weren’t together) died at 55 in an auto accident a few years ago. It was difficult (to say the least).
That “I alone can fix it” shit (& being an expert on EVERYTHING) told me all I needed to know!
Plant: an example of the Fibonacci sequence?
My Condolences Carolyn on your loss. 😔🤍
I believe that asparagus plant is a Century Plant, which is an agave. Looks like there is brittlebush blooming.
Those are shrines to Mary. They have a lot of those in southern AZ and NM. That looked like a wolf spider.
It was a wolf spider
Foresty Forest went to Mexico with his bicycle. He got kidnapped, beaten up and his bank account was emptied. He said that he'll never go there again. I don't blame him. I respect your decision to travel where it could be a danger for your well being. I live in Canada. If I travel somewhere during the winter to go where a milder climate li Arizona I wouldn't mind living there for the winter. I'd feel much more safer in Arizona than Mexico.
What beautiful shots of Sadie with the Pacific behind her🩵🖤🤍🩵
They eat dogs in Mexico. I almost died when I was there and they told me that. It broke my heart.
Beautiful video! Sorry for your loss.
