What an incredible honor! This video is so wonderfully put together. I’m glad you were able to “put your finger on it.” Thank you so much for reaching out to me and meeting up. Such a special time!
It was so much fun meeting you and the honor is all mine! Thanks for taking the time (and introducing me to that great coffee shop!) Hoping the stars will align and we can have a chance to grab a cup together again!
Alicia is not only adventurous, she brings a calm sense to me when I watch her videos, because she doesn’t do anything for views or is fake! She loves everything she posts about! And she reflects an old peaceful soul! To tell you more I put her playlist to be able to go sleep! I don’t know what it is! It’s hard to explain but she is a real authentic loving soul! I love her!
She really is special and it’s so great that you resonate with her!
She sounds like such a fun person to hang with. I’ve been subbed to her content for years now. I’m a journal fountain pen enthusiast.
She’s definitely charming and fun. But something I didn’t talk about is that she is kind. She went out of her way to make things comfortable for me.
I'll be working on the adjusted subtitles and translations. The winner for the last giveaway is Anningrid1. Also there are bloopers at the end--curious if I should do anymore in the future.
Congratulations Anni!
Yes,please! Who doesn't like bloopers,kind of a peek behind the curtain.
Adventures come in all forms both inward and outward in our universe. We naturally are drawn to those who inspire us! Thank you for your videos/inspirations.
She is definitely an adorable gem that shines in so many ways!
Yes, she is very charming!

Your interview left me feeling warm and movated. I loved how the two of you were connected by something beyond a simple pen. Thank you❤
Alicia is a gem in our community (and beyond). I love her chatty, down to earth, authentic videos with my whole heart! I didn't start journaling until I was 49 years old and Alicia's videos were a big inspiration. It is now a daily ritual that I can't imagine my life without..... Thank you so much for this video! I love everything that you put out into the world too Alesa!
That is so awesome-I’m glad journaling has worked out so well for you. I think it’s so important in this fast changing digital world. And I LOVE your posts 💕💕💕
She is so diviersified and loves and does many things...SO MUCH FUN are her VIDS. Yay, and the pen set.... OH YUMMY! ITS MY COLOR!
Yes, she good at a lot of things! That color is pretty “spring!”
As a hiker, I enjoy Alicia’s hiking videos and reviews. You gotta love her outlook on life too. The bad parts are all just part of the adventure, and lead to new adventures too. In the end, it wasn’t bad after all.
Thanks for the interview, Inky. I love the selfie at the end!
That’s awesome-I can see how her channel is such a draw for you. Im so bad at selfies-I think I took a lot of pictures of the background hahaha!
The world would be a better place if for every blockbuster movie we watched, we also watched a video or two like this. There's nothing more down to earth than this. I'm imagining the conversation if someone walked into my room and asked me what I was watching:
"Well, it's an interview."
"Of who."
"Oh, you wouldn't know her."
"Oh, okay. Then who is interviewing."
"You wouldn't know her either."
"What are they talking about?"
"The hobbies they do and don't share. The interviewer really seems so genuinely impressed and excited by the interviewee's life."
"... And these people aren't like, celebrities?"
"Sorta just Pen UA-camrs."
Like. That's beautiful. I'm so glad the internet exists. I'm so glad there's a place for this sort of stuff.
Hahaha! Love your mock conversation! The community for this hobby is pretty accepting and offbeat. It’s so great! Thanks for being part of it 💕💕
Adventure Denali is such a down to Earth lovely soul. I would be extremely lucky to have a friend like her in life. 😊
I think we all would 💕
Alecia is so kind, yet super interesting. Whatever she loves she makes me want to love it too. She was the first UA-camr I watched; I found her during Covid.
Her channel is the absolutely right way to be introduced to fountain pens social media!
Oh, thank you for this! She's a breath of fresh air. I love her energy. Look at that smile! 😊
She really is! Glad you enjoyed it!
Alicia and her dogs (and her ferret) are always a blessing to watch. And have you seen her tiny, beautiful writing?
I know! I love seeing her animals! And yes, lovely handwriting!
Two of the most delightful UA-cam creators ever!
Thank you so much! I had a great time!
I will do hours of meditation and yoga just to achieve a moment of calmness and joyful curiousness that seems to define Alicia's attitude and demeanor. I hope there will be another video where you two will meet again, perhaps in Tokyo. That would be wonderful.
I totally agree. I def need to do more yoga! I hope so too! Take care 💜
What a great video. You have managed to convey the essence of Adventure Denali in a wonderful way, and at the same time reflecting aspects of yourself. This video is, seriously, a work of art! Thank you.
Thank you so much! I wanted to do her justice so it took a little longer! 😂
I was waiting for this video 😊 I think she's been able to keep her sigh pure and alive like a child, that's why she inspires so much everything she does and talk about ❤❤
Yes I agree! Glad you liked it 💖
I was waiting for this video for so long! You both are so lovely!
Thank you so much! I really thought I could get it out faster, but each video I learn something new about filming and I get more detailed. I'm really trying to keep them shorter as it's so time consuming. We will see hahaha!
I love this video on so many levels... I know Alicia from her channel, I am a "quiet" adventurer, I love fountain pens ... drawing, sketching, writing ... and many words of life wisdom from both of you. Thank you!!!
I love that phrase “quiet adventurer”. So glad you enjoyed this 💝
I reallyy enjoy Alicia's fountain pen videos too - it was nice to see her interviewed here! Great video.
Thank you! She really is quite talented at drawing with a fountain pen too. I found that surprising (I don’t know why hahaha!)
Adventure Denali is an awesome person. She is so enchanting, endearing, and a gentle spirit. I enjoy her content. Thank you for sharing your content about A. D.! ❤
So glad you enjoyed it! She really is special 💝
Two of my favourite content creators together! ❤ Thanks for sharing a lovely interview.
Thank you so much y-so happy to be a fav!
Two of my favorite creators! Your videos are always worth waiting for🎉 Also Alecia's videos about her Kaweco Brass Sport convinced me to get the one I had seen in my local art supply shop... And also sent me all the way down the fountain pen rabbit hole. You *both* have opened up this pen ink and paper adventure for me and I'm sure many many people😊
Yay! Thank you! I hope you are enjoying the rabbit hole hahaha💝
@@InkyRocks 💯! It's been a great adventure ever since😄
What a lovely video and interview!
Thanks so much 💝
My two favorite content creators together! What an epic meeting. It's delightful to have your take on Alicia, Alesa. Both of you bring your true selves to social media in different ways, and both of you provide content that invites me to relax and enjoy the simple things in life with fresh eyes. As for adventure, I'd say you are quite adventurous yourself with the way you pour and splash ink around and use pens and inks in ways we're told not to...just for fun. 😏 Thanks so much for this video.
Thank you so much! And thanks for being such a great long time supporter. She really is a treasure!
I love seeing the selfie of you both together. She’s so cute and just does her own thing, and I love that. Never knew the Denali story. I’ve been there once, for 2.5 incredible days. I scattered my mom’s ashes overlooking the river. It was one of her favorite places she ever went, and also mine. I wish I could go back someday, for a longer stretch.
That is so lovely. I'm glad you have good memories and I hope you can return💖
😂the rock's not included! Seriously, this interview is a work of art. It left me inspire and movated to be more outdoorsy (city girl here). Love the connection you both have created by a pen ❤.
That’s what I love about this community. If we are weird enough to do fountain pens, we’ll accept a lot of oddball stuff hahaha! I also plan on doing more hiking! Thanks so much for all your support 💝
You did a great job cramming so much cool stuff into this brief video. I loved it!
Hahaha! Thank you. I do have a Pilot history vid in the works-you were part of the inspo!
@@InkyRocks I can't wait to see it!
The UA-cam algorithm led me to your channel (your wild nibs video specifically) and I'm surprised to have found Alicia on here as well! Great minds think alike! Thanks for the interview.
Thank you! Glad you found me!
Third (shooting) time's a charm! Thanks for persevering and putting the interview together. Lovely editing, as usual. As a backpacker, I appreciate the Tuscon trail recommendation!
Thank you! And I’m committed to doing more hiking when I go out to Tucson!
Hi, what a wonderful and amazing interaction between two beautiful people. I think you did Alicia proud with a beautiful video. It was lovely to watch on and I smiled the whole way through. Thank you xx
Chelsea c:
Thank you so much Chelsea! I was worried I wouldn’t quite show what I liked about her. Glad I hit it with you! 💕
Cool video, I’m too lazy and too chicken s*** to go into a cave or a tent trip for more than 2 days, glad there are ppl who does it and share the loot though😂
hahaha! I'm the same--I'll watch her stuff instead!
What a great interview. She looks like she lives life to its fullest everyday. The green pen OMG it is the color of my Jeep!
Thank you. She really rubs off on people in a very positive way!
Alicia is just a pure delight.
Isn't she!?😊
Alesa I’ve been waiting for this video. Thank you. Great picture of you and Alicia and I love the glimpses of the Tucson show. I’ve wanted to attend this show for years. Lovely piece of malachite. I do hope you will be posting more videos! I’ve missed the regular postings but I know things can get in the way
Best regards from Vancouver. Linda
Thank you so much Linda! It was a pretty tough year. Seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and really appreciate when people understand. I hope you can make it out to Tucson. It really is magical for me 💖
I follow and love you both. This video is two scoops of love and fun.
Thank you so much! I hope I’m a scoop of butter pecan ice cream 🍨
What a wonderful video! The photos you shared of her adventures were beautiful. I am the same kind of adventurer as you are…trying new pens, inks and other stuff to see what makes me happy. The last part with the ink drips was awesome! Great to see your videos, as always!
Thank you so much! It's been such a busy year and a lot has changed for me--I keep saying 'm going to catch up, but I keep making complicated vids with lots of clips hahaha!
So much of this resonates. I buy pens based on if I'll use them regularly. I'm not a collector like some folks are and I'm ok with that. Thanks for a great interview.
Im so glad it hit with you! Thank so much 💕💕
Two of my favorite vid-journalists. I love the sound of your voices as well as the content of your creations.
Thanks so much! It’s funny our names are so close. People often still call me Alicia as Alesa seems difficult to remember hahaha!
It’s crazy to see two of my favorite UA-camrs create a video together! ❤ love this
Thank you! 💝
How incredibly cool that you two got together!!!!! I loved the interview. (I use fountain pens because I love watching the ink lay down, glisten, and dry.) You two are some of my faves.
Thank you so much! She really is like that in “real life”!
I love both of your channels and the calming nature of your content.
Thank you so much! 💕
I watch both your channels and grew up in Tucson. I bought some stickers from Alicia and we discovered we went to the same high school and college. Thanks for sharing!
I love Tucson! The gem show and the mountains. I’ve done a little hiking and it’s so beautiful. Hope to make it to Sedona one day. That’s so cool you guys have a connection!
Alicia is such a joy and this is such a wonderful video. 😊
Thanks so much! She really is!
This was awesome! Love Alicia. She's so sweet talented adventurous inspirational... been following her for years.
And what an incredible roxk show. Would love to go some day.
Thank you! She really is! Hope you can make it to the show one day. For me, it’s really magical!
@@InkyRocks TF introducing it to use. Hope so too. It definitely looks magical. Our world is so amazing. My parents would by us polish rocks as souvenirs when we would travel so your video also made me nostalgic 😊
Love her and so nice to see your video highlighting a wonderful person.
Yes-she’s great! Thanks 💖
How delightful to visit with you two -- and did you know that this is its own conjugation in Archaic Greek? You two! A linguistic concept! Yay! But, again, delightful. Thank you for this quiet moment together.
So glad you enjoyed it! I don’t think I quite understand what you are saying about the conjugation. Is it our names?
@@InkyRocks Ah, yes. Conjugation is how the verb changes according to person. First person: I go. Second person (largely out of use in English): Thou goest. Third person singular: She goes. Third person plural: You go. So, for the archaic Greeks, "you two" was sufficiently important to have its own distinct linguistic "person". I find that understanding of human relations touching!
What a fun video. I will definitely be checking out Adventure Denali. Enjoy your channel and appreciate the time you put in to finesse things to represent your experiences so well.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! You should really check out her socials (IG and UA-cam), they are seriously interesting.
Love you both! Great video. 🧡🧡
Thank you so much ! 💕💕
I love watching Alicia’s videos! She was the one who inspired me to start journaling!
That’s awesome-it’s increasingly useful as the world gets more digital! 💖
Thanks for this one - you both make me smile ... a lot ! :D
That’s great! Thank you!
Wonderful video! Wonderful interview! I love the reflection at the end . . . . You’re both like anti-influencers, aimed at Being rather than Selling or Grasping or Telling. Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much! Glad you resonate with us 💕
Fan of adventure Denali myself. Really enjoyed your interview. Glad I stumbled across your channel.
That’s great-glad you did too! Thanks 💖
Hi! Alesa! Hope you are doing well! This was a nice change. You touched on about everything. Life, Friends, Pens...etc It's crazy how she gets to live her life freely not tied down to one thing.
Thank you-I’m hanging in there! Yes, it was a bit different. Next one will be a review. She does have an interesting life!
But she is happy!!! Oh my gosh, that Ferrett that was so cute.
Are you headed to Pen Shows?@@InkyRocks
Thanks for a wonderful interview with Alicia. Love her content and her recent knitting adventures!
I know! Im seriously thinking of giving it a try. Thanks 💖
What?? The rock is not included?? BOEHOE😭 It is gorgeous!! 😍
And after this interview I am an adventurer! Thanks Alesa ❤
Hahaha! The cost to mail it would be terrible. The thing is like thick! Thank you so much!💝
Nice video. Great ending takeaway. You meet some cool people, which is part of your many adventures. Best wishes for a better year. Aloha
Thank you Andrew! Hermes’s hoping! Take care 💝
Yay to the pen set! Fun interview
Yaaay!! Thank you 🥰
Two of my favs!❤
Yaaay! Thanks! 🥰
Super excited to see this interview! I also subscribe to her channel and this is an awesome POV 🥳🥳
Awesome! Glad I got to present it from another perspective 💖
love both of these guys(subscribed to both a very long time ago); love her attitude to fp’s: ditto - it’s a tactile thing for me: I like the way they feel but am aware my journal entries are quite a mixture: sometimes I’m just desperate to get something that’s been bothering me down and other times my scribbles are nothing special!; thanks for this:)
Thank you! I agree-it’s the process and sometimes I have to pour stuff out of my head so quickly, my writing is chicken scratch!
She is so adorable and such a beautiful person I wish my wife and I could adopt her!
Hahaha! I bet she has a LOT of peeps that want to!
Thank you for posting - what a great video! So fun to get an up close & personal interview with Alicia. I’ve been a followers of hers for a very long time.
So glad you enjoyed it! She really is special!
Lovely video of a truly inspiring person
Thanks Peter!
Great interview. Love her channel.
Thanks! Me too!
Alicia has some really fun videos and she seems to be a really cool person to be around.
She really is! 🥰
Adventure Denali is a wonderful inspiration for how people should live their lives… she embraces and tackles life with gusto! Very few people do. (Me included.)
Love the malachite. It has flowers in it! Did you get it at the Tucson show? Only two hours away and I never knew what I was missing. Next year.
I visited the Gem&Mineral show a couple of times back when I lived in New Mexico. It is magical! One treasure I got there was a long strand of small olive-shaped,lapis lazuli beads; I wear them on special occasions. That malachite is so beautiful.
I feel certain you will love the G&M show,I hope you can fulfill your wish to attend. For me it is a cherished memory.
@@McAmeron089III Thanks. I’m sure I’ll be able to as long as I know when it is happening. I am only in Phoenix and if I needed it could just be a day trip.
@StealthyGypsy She really is special! Yes, I got the malachite at the Tucson show. You’ll really enjoy it-I mainly go to gawk at everything now hahaha!
@McAmeronlll Glad you had the chance to go-those lapis lazuli beads sound beautiful!
Lovely interview and video!
Thank you 💜
Blown away.
Thank you 💖
She has a lovely handwriting.
She really does!
I agree everything has to be lived- used ... that's what it was created to do. 🎉
Great way to think!
Thank you for the interview & the addition of the beautiful crystals….. would it be too much to ask if you have ever done a pen+ink+crystal match up? Especially the more pleochroic ones 🤔
I haven’t done the trifecta. I’ve matched pens to crystals (like the Harusame with fluorite-pink and green). I have a lovely slab of lapis and I’m really looking forward to the Pelikan release of lapis ink. If their pen is equally stunning, I may be able to achieve it hahaha! Thanks 💕
I need to go visit. I love the crystals
It’s eye-watering! That’s why I go so often!
I am in crystal jail 😅 😂 Tucson looks so beautiful and having the international crystal show there. Wow! Must be a dream. I am definitely breaking out of my crystal jail next year to attend.. but I believe I will visit there this year so beautiful. Thank you for the interview Alicia
Lovely video. Thank you.
Thanks so much! 💕
Cool video!
Thanks!
Beautiful video!
Thank you!
You each have an inimitable style. Lovely interview.
Thank you so much! Im so happy someone said I have “inimitable style!” My first hahaha!
Thanks for sharing. I watch all her videos and with every one I want to tell her how beautiful she is but that would be weird so I just give her a thumbs up and leave it at that. 😁
Thumbs up sounds great! Thank you!
I love Adventure Denali.
She’s the best!
Great video inkystinky
hahah! I'm the ink that stinks!
spelunking is so terrifying
I think so too! When I was in college, a couple of students died (they got lost or something). I think I’ll stick with hiking.
❤
Did you buy any crystals for Alicia?
Hahaha! No, but she does have an interesting collection of minerals!
I don't know if it counts but I know the song Wild Horses :)
Sure, it counts!
A fun giveaway!!!
Glad you like it!
Nice video. I'll check her out. I don't do instagram, so I guess I can't be in the drawing, but I will watch her Sheaffer Oversize video and maybe subscribe to her channel as well. Nice to get to know both of you a little bit.
Thank you! I do the giveaway on IG because they have messages and UA-cam doesn’t. I’ve had to chase down about half the winners on my give-aways and finding them on IG is actually possible! Hope you enjoy her channel!
TimeStamp 2:15: "And there's also an Airforce Base nearby where jets were flying in and out." Outtake 13:37: "I used to fly into that base." Conclusion: Your life has always been an adventure, even before you slung inks on UA-cam.
Hahaha! I totally expect you to bring receipts! Thanks for always being so supportive 💖
