I do a similar affirmation / prayer before my drives too ❤
Awesome video Kait!
Thank you!
This was a pleasure to watch. You seemed so relaxed about it all.🧘🏽♀️ Definitely helped to lessen my mild anxiety as I contemplate my first cross country drive as a female solo traveler. I’m glad you made it safely.🙏🏽 Great music too!🎶
How was your drive?
@@Madiwasborn It was amazing! I didn’t stop and do any sightseeing or anything, but it felt good to do something that I hadn’t done before all while in the pleasure of my own company.☺️ I gave myself plenty of time (only did about 6 hours each day). It took me one week to get from MA to TX. It went sooo smoothly. I packed just the right amount of food and I came in under budget for gas and hotels. (I considered doing the whole ‘sleep in your car’ thing, but I honestly had no space because my car was jam packed with all of my stuff. Besides, it was still very cold outside as well.)
Overall, I’m so glad I did it! It gave me lots of confidence. I would definitely do it again! Are you considering a long drive somewhere?
my first rode trip for 12 hours i wasn’t scared for , but after a man followed me to my car and tried to get in, im so scared to do it again next month. Im not scared to drive , its gettin out to use the bathroom at rest stops / gas stations that bother me
Oh wow. Yeah, you definitely have to be careful when traveling alone and stay aware of your surroundings. Glad you made it through that situation okay!
That is scary. I have heard that getting out to use the bathroom at grocery stores and such is a little safer.
Hey!!! Make sure to always bring a pocket knife or something with you and try to get out and stop at bigger grocery stores to use the bathroom or a place with a lot of people, I don’t want that to ever ruin your trips though ❤❤
I am driving from Atlanta to Los Angeles and this was a pleasure to watch as your perspective and attitude encouraged me to relax and trust the journey. Thank You
You got this! Safe travels! 🫶🏾
I did this drive 2, years ago. Such a great experience. Thank you for sharing.
it really is, glad I did it. Thanks for watching!
Loved the vlog, can’t wait for more. And can’t wait for the update about your life in Phoenix and your work there 👍🏾
coming soon (:
I did LA to the DMV a couple years ago. You seem like a nice lady. glad you had fun.
thank you!
I’m about to do that drive in reverse. How was your experience?
@@Curlydann I ended up doing a 23 hour stretch between OK and DC area through Appalachia which wasn't fun. But overall it was amazing. I may do it again, this time taking route 50 all the way. "America's Lonliest Road." Need to find a beautiful girl to copilot.
Currently doing a cross country trip from Columbus, OH to Los Angeles, CA. Currently in Des Moines, IA. Got 4 more driving days left. Thankfully, this is only a one way drive for me.
Nice! Hope you enjoyed the journey! (:
Hi Kaitlyn, this has been a great video. I loved watching.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🫶🏾
This is beautiful. My husband and I drive from San Diego, CA to South Carolina twice, and I absolutely loved the drive. We did it in 2.5 days. We stopped in Dallas; Texas is our halfway mark lol.
I love the scenery on the drive. So much beauty to take in.
Half way mark was 20 hours? I-40 East? Amarillo?
😂...for dev roles, I have driven NJ to California....and California back to Alabama... Yes, the mountains and everything are nice going thru New Mexico... Arizona nice place in February/May.. good luck!
Wow! They’ve had you all over!
Nice video. I'm going to Texas to visit family and on the fence about flying vs driving. It's only about a 12 hour drive but I'd be doing it alone in one day. Flying would be about a 5-6 hour trip because it's still a 2+ hour drive from DFW to their house.
Inspiring and music on point !
Thanks for watching!
Great taste in music
I'm watching this in a road-themed double feature with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
The chicken head while sitting down with a slight butt wiggle!!! I was smiling looking at this. Love the energy!❤

Where did you stay in Memphis? Driving next week and need a safe place to park my Uhaul with a car trailer.
I stayed at a hotel in Arlington.
How long did it take
Very nice video, how do you get music on your videos?
I used epidemic sound for this video (:
Lawd my trip is 11 hours and I don't want to even drive 4 hours. LOL How do you overcome anxiety while driving long distance?
I don’t get anxious while driving. It’s quite relaxing for me. I enjoy it! But if I had to offer some recommendations, I’d say to get your favorite playlist or radio going. If there’s a particular podcast you enjoy listening to, play that. I even occasionally listen to sermons. And my friends tend to call and check on me when they know I’m traveling, so good conversation. (:

Loved the vlog!
