    Hey Mariah,,, I'm not sure what prompted you into thinking you need an editor?,,, your quality and content of your videos are top notch... If by any chance, people are bugging you for "more" of anything??,,, it never was, and never should be about us, and our wants... This is your adventure, with no schedule, living Life on life's terms.... People including myself should be grateful, for any video you produce,, whenever they might be... Even if it were only one video, every 2 months... Throw away that calender, or planner organizer,,, "Live and Let Live,, One day at a time",,,,, you got this.... sending Love from Canada...

      Very well said. The challenge is of UA-cam is one of her main incomes she has to maintain a certain rate of video content that is popular to make the “UA-cam Algorithm” happy to promote her channel and to attract subscribers and sponsors. Now if UA-cam is not her main income… then yea, she should put life first and these videos second as I think their awesome the way they are and special each one…. Now I’m f we could get Patreon support up high enough then she could forget about making the UA-cam algorithm happy.

    One of the things I LOVE about your channel is that you're nerdy, and hilarious, and so very real. When you find an editor, please don't lose that. There's so much slick content on UA-cam, but that's not what keeps me coming back to your channel. Good luck with the search!

    I heard you say in a Q&A video that you’re Pisces….you really take on those characteristics. You like to be alone when you recharge. When your with people you want to be alone, and when you’re alone you want to be with people. You’re just trying to find that perfect balance. I can relate so much!

It’s so good to see you and other young women living the life you want and not letting fear or naysayer’s stop you. Keep pushing forward and hope it’s ok if I live vicariously through you.

    I'm exciting for next week! Meeting up with Christian always makes for great vanlifing!

    GIRL! "Making videos for my 8 year old self" - I almost cheered out loud! This is so powerful and important! Really appreciate the footage you included at the end. I make UA-cam videos in a similar spirit to yours and relate so much to what you're going through - not making videos for "an audience," editing being *a thing*, also not quite where I want to be with the quality of the videos (I just booked my commercial drone pilots test which is a big part of that... nervous about the test), or actually even how much of myself to share in my videos... This creative journey is a deep one and that's been such a wonderful aspect of it - that it continues to be a catalyst for a lot of growth. You're not alone! Thank you for sharing your journey!

    First i let go of the stress that sort of pushing me around to do things...
    So much relaxed now....
    I plan nothing, go with the flow and tell myself i am good the way i am...
    Letting go of living like everyone does is hard and make vonourable but it pays of.
    Your videos are honest, sometimes you blebber
    Around, sometimes you are serious, but jou are you....stay that way ...
    You will grow, and the editing of your videos also...
    Take the time to follow your hart...

If you sent a series of videos to someone and said "make it happen", what would it be like? Would it lose your perspective or would it be something that you too could find food for thought? I am new to your channel and I am really enjoying it. Might have to become a patreon.

    Well, after following you for a while. I always felt that your journaling style was very attractive, I also think when you choose to distinctly express yourself through your photography what you share turns out pretty amazing. I am seeing that your growing exponentially and that is very admirable and very inspiring. There are these quirks about you that come through while you are exposing yourself that I find very attractive, would an editor other than you be able to see that and let it be expressed?…I am new in sharing on this platform with some of the same aspiration, so I am learning from you and others…as it is for me, being inherently shy and deathly insecure about this type of exposure,.. the way you expose yourself as well as seeing your development, your path, is a valuable lesson resource. I thank you for that. I look forward to your continuing success and inspiration. Best wishes.

    I understand your desire to keep improving your videos, but I hope it doesn't stress you too much....your vids are great as they are, full of your personality, good information about van/nomad life and some downright artistic shots of the scenery in which you find yourself from day to day. Have you considered using Upwork to find an editor? I've used it to find talent I needed in different areas, and also joined as a freelance editor with them for a couple of years. It's a great way to put out a description of the type of work you want to do, and let editors submit their "applications" to the job you advertise. You can see their "ratings" on the Upwork site, look at testimonials from past customers and see examples of their work (which lets you see just how good they are!). Check it out if you get a chance!

    Hi Mariah, here's something you might want to try. Stinging Nettle tea. It's been coming up like crazy. The have little stingers on the stems. Search pictures of them. I cut them with scissors then lightly pick them up with the scissors, put them in a bowl, cut in small pieces, make tea at that point or dry them. Some health food stores might have it. It gives you a feeling like you're energized and relaxed at the same time. The miner's lettuce is coming up too, great for mixing in salads. Try the tea🌹

    Hey Mariah, great video! Fin is such a great little dog to have and companion! Full of energy!
    As for taking time out for yourself, THAT is DEFINITELY most important mental health is no joke as you know! And speaking from experience, anytime you're feeling that way nip it in the bud and do WHATEVER you have to do to get yourself feeling better even if it mean reaching out for support or help to get through a tough time! Meditation really helps guided meditations for like anxiety or depression or just ones that help you sleep I find great I play them on my phone through the night basically fall asleep to and that helps ALOT!
    It's great you decided to catch up with your friends again before travelling properly it's important to have company sometimes like you said when you're feeling a bit off or when you know you plan to spend a bit of time on your own travelling!
    Great video and looking lovely as always. Take care, stay well and have a great week! Look forward to the next video! Cheers from London England 👍❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😎
