  • This, is my story. I have had an unexpected ride in this life so far, full of twists and turns I never saw coming. In this video I take you on my journey. Starting from childhood, to international solo travel, to losing everything, bus life, road life, youtube, and more. I never in a million years would have guessed to end up here in my life. But heck, do I feel so lucky.

    This really resonated with me. At 51yrs of age...I feel in my soul that this is my future way of life. Finding the courage to just "do it" and screw the fears...is the hardest part for me. I have two children that just started college. I just moved from my 3 bedroom townhouse that was killing me financially. Kids are gone so I thought, this is my time. Now I am feeling the urge to make this happen. Thank you for your story. Thank you for your vulnerability. I am so grateful I found you on UA-cam.

      Make sure you have the complete skill set first. Just like living in a house. It's not just buying a sofa and carpet, there are things that need doing that are not fun too. You can't always rely on the goodwill of others to get you through. Take an evening class in basic car maintenance and at 'least' be able to fix a flat!

      Hi Beth, I know how you feel. I have been thinking about joining the many nomads that are roaming the country now. As one of the replies to this message said, take a car maintenance class, which is a good idea. I think for those of us, I'm 58, who has worked for years to establish a stable, and structured life. Taking off and leaving all of that behind can be challenging, but not impossible. I would recommend checking out RV, or Vanlife groups on Facebook (I cringe typing that). The people (many in our age group) in these groups communicate, asking and answering questions about Vanlife?RV life. My plan is prep myself, purge and store what's worth keeping. Then in the spring, hit the road. I wish you the best!

    Alyssa I'm old I built my first conversion back in 93 it took forever and thousands of hours networking we didn't have the internet imagine that we made phone calls and drove hours from home for parts etc.
    The biggest impression for me was the bus conversion magazine I looked forward to seeing that little 20 page or less magazine ever month. We were considered crazy back then well look at all the so called crazy people now right and I'm working on my second conversion now for retirement.
    So hang on to your dreams it's what drives us. Safe travels girl.

    I’m an old fart , followed my dream in 2005 after I met the love of my life. I left / sold everything an went on the journey. Good times bad times, emotional roller coaster etc etc. lost the love of my life due to a split decision and a bullet that took her away. At first I wanted to join her and do the same, but I couldn’t because of my other love, my daughter. I felt completely lost, amputated from everything that I dreamt of and worked so hard for. I was able to pickup the piece but empty inside, no goal etc just surviving to keep afloat. Than I had health issues that I ignored for various reasons, after major surgery and complications I can’t work no more. Your story brought memories and emotions that talked about and experience. Traveling in my early days thought me so much about myself, life and what it takes. If I was younger I absolutely would have taken the road you follow now. I’m on my own for many years and get along with myself most of the time, besides the pitty parties. Take it from me your on the right path doing the right thing for you and your doggie . Thnx for sharing your awesome.💕🤘🏻

      I have been watching your videos from when you had your first bus and you were getting ready to sell it. I enjoy all your videos but I especially enjoyed this one about your life how it all started and how it’s going up until this day. My pipe dream for years has been when I get ready to retire next year is to travel around and enjoy each state that I wanna go to, enjoy the beauty and just to sit out and look at the ocean or the mountains and just take in the nature. I think would be so awesome. I have been dreaming for over 20 years about doing this lifestyle traveling around. You inspire me and give me inspirational to do that. Keep up the videos and I can’t wait till Sunday to see your videos. God bless you!

      I understand completely. I too am now an old fart, cancer took my wife a few years ago. No kids or family to help get though it. When the love of your life dies, and that is horrible enough, the life you had dies with them. You are left with nothing. All the plans, hopes, dreams....your purpose in life....gone. People that have not experienced such a loss simply can not understand how empty life can become in the span of a last breath.
      I'm too old to start over a third time, and frankly the thought of lying beside anyone but my wife at night gives me the creeps. So I'm currently building a rig, will be selling the house in a couple years and travelling until I get too old to take care of myself. No idea what will come after that.

      To Joel.....Like you, I watch all of Lyssa's videos. I'm happily married to an "old fart". Wonder if that makes me a "Fartessa"? So.... married to this guy for over 70 years (we are in our 90's)....obviously, we are on the downhill slope, right? Naturally, we have gained some wisdom along the way.
      I think what we enjoy in watching Lyssa's journey...is her ability to search.. and reveal.... what it takes others a lifetime to find....if ever.
      My only explanation is that she is an "old soul" in a beautiful young mind.
      Obviously, she is helping so many others, while on her own journey.
      Wish we could stick around and watch where she goes with this.
      My heart goes out to you for losing your lifes partner. Too soon I will share in your experience. I dread that day. All good comforts to you.

    So much of your story resonated with me. From moving around constantly as a child, always being the new girl at school, and not having a stable place to call home or go back to later in life. My imagination and writing were/are my therapy as well. I also went to Africa for the first time during college, and I lost a friend to cancer at 27, that really shook my worldview. I converted and moved into my first van in 2017 and it was so hard to find good how to information on conversions back then. I also stumbled into the road lifestyle out of necessity and started filming my journey as a video diary that ended up helping me sustain the lifestyle for a few years. Anyway, a lot has changed in my life since then, just got married to a guy I met on the road and we live off grid on 5 acres now. I rarely share my story, raw emotions or writing in video format these days, but watching your videos always inspires me to get back into it. So thank you.

    This is a really great video. I truly appreciated your honesty at the end where you make it clear that even though you seemed to have found confidence in yourself as well as purpose, you still don't have things all figured out, that it's not an easy lifestyle, etc., but that it seems right for you. I love that you didn't romanticize it. I find it interesting that so many of you, (I follow a few others living this life), after several years on the road, eventually feel the need to find a piece of land to create a more permanent home base. Your journey has been pretty incredible thus far and you should be proud of all that you have accomplished as well as the courage that it has taken to get here.

    I just found your channel today 😃 am I the only one that is literally in tears? 😢😭 in a good eye opening way. You’re amazing and I’m thankful I found your channel…. At about the 8:45 mark on this video is when I really connected with you and knew exactly what you meant. I’m so thankful that you took that leap of faith and you belong on UA-cam but actually even other platforms. Keep living that dream and inspiring others to do the same ❤️

  • @jimlenhart690
    @jimlenhart690 Рік тому +4

    Wow... Awesome story! I felt the same way you did when you graduated from college only mine was a little earlier when I graduated from high school. I had no idea what I wanted to do so I got on the so-called "escalator" with all the other ducks I knew and found myself in a row not knowing how to get off the escalator. That probably sounds funny but that's how I felt. After going through the meat grinder of the finance industry with all the trimmings that went along with it I discovered that that best job I ever had was mowing grass when I was putting myself through college. It's funny when I realized that I was the only one that could get me out of the box that I so neatly wrapped myself in. I realized that leaving the box wasn't my issue, but going towards something would be my source of inspiration. I went and got a pilot's license, skydived bought a motorcycle and became a free spirit. The little boy in me finally came alive and I discovered who he (I) really was (am). Life is meant to be lived, not tolerated. Be true to yourself, you're the only one that can or will. You have a knack of storytelling in a colorful adventurous way. I can see that you're artistic. Your UA-cam channel is the product, and you are the process. It matches well together.

    Hi, just a reminder of the Earth's children book series by Jean M Auel. Even though it plays of in the prehistoric era, the story is about a girl Ayla who has to find herself, survive and grow to become who she was meant to be. It starts with the Clan of the Cave Bear and I think it would definitely resonate with you as she struggles, overcomes adversity, learns and ultimately conquers. Even though it is a story it reads more like a biography of her life (even though fictional). it was published in 1980 and it is one of the best written book series I have come across. It wont just be entertaining there is a lifetime of lessons that can be gained, you mentioned you have it on your reading list - dont forget to get yourself a copy.

    • @tomconcitis9322
      @tomconcitis9322 Рік тому

      I read the Ayla series many years ago. From what I recall, it was a great pre history imagination of what life could have been like. I enjoyed the progressive story line.
      I haven’t followed Alyssa’s travels, so I’ll defer commenting on her connection to Alta.

    To the dear sweet Alyssa. Some of those things you have left behind you were enough to cause headaches and depression to many people but you have come out the other end as a marvelous young woman. You are an inspiration to many. You are beautiful, intelligent, charismatic, well spoken and at peace with the world in a positive way. I think that most of your viewers would love to give you a big hug just to show our appreciation of what you have been able to do with your life, I know I sure would like to. Whether you know it or not you have been blessed. Are you still in touch with your grandmother, it sounded like she really cared about what happened to you. I shed a tear in writing this. If you ever decide to come as far north as Alberta in Canada I would love to give you that big hug just to let you know that there are many people that care for you and what happens to you. And I should not forget Rio.

I recently loss my Dad, my brother and soon my Mom and feeling loss, alone and seeking to discover who I am as the person I used to be feels like a distant memory. Watching your videos has brought me some peace and I can only hope I can also find myself again. Your writing is beautiful as I assume the words you speak in a lot of your videos when you narrate are yours. And you are a beautiful soul for allowing us all into your world. Thank you!
