I spent a few days alone in an off grid cabin - this is my very first experience traveling solo, without technology or social media. I found it a bit scary, because I do struggle with some intrusive thinking. The experience was very wonderful though. I managed to conquer some of my fears (brought on by anxiety and intrusive thinking) and actually unplug for a few days. Have you ever done anything like this? If not, would you want to?
Hello. Fear is a part of life. For everyone. You have the same options to deal with it as everybody else. Ignore the possibilities, accept what may come, decide what you have the strenght to fight or the patience to accept. Learn things that help with it. I know of a person who is scared of horses. If you think about it, most horses weight far more than a human and could steam run over people if they so choose. Or if they get scared enough to not think at all. But when you learn to read them and to notice the sign when a horse sees something, they find scary, you can react to it in a reasonable and somewhat calm manner. Another idea would be to add experiences. If you are scared of sheep and such, visit a petting zoo for example. Fear doesn't disappear really, but by choosing to go out of your own comfortzone, you can grow confidence, that you can deal with it. Or at least with the choosen situations. To me, sheep are a lot less scary than just cars. Because sheeps tend to cause way fewer accidents... Maybe pick up a book on how to teach children confidence, or adults. But if you are struggleing with things others would consider a no-brainer, it may be wise to start small with a kids book and work your way up. There is no shame in admitting that a part of you (in this case confidence) stopped growing early on. It's true for a lot of us, though which part it is, is very varied. If you grew up with few people, it's perfectly normal to worry about other people. But avoiding them isn't going to change that. In my case what stopped early on, was actually romance. My early experience was rather (please excuse the word-choice) dick-driven. It's not that I mind doing something the other person wants to do. It's that I found myself in relationships that only think about their own wishes, but ignore any and all wishes from me. I didn't see the point in seeing someone, who wouldn't do anything with me, that showed a little bit of care for me. Well, good luck in connecting with others. Maybe try out talking to someone instead of going off grid? Sounds to me like a better choice in conquering your fears.
I’ve never been so scared when I moved to Taiwan years ago, pushing through those fears lead to my most precious life experiences. Loved this video, you’re very talented film maker.
There's a lot of people knocking this girl for filming while being alone. But for a video artist, this is no different than a canvas for a painter or paper and pen for a writer. It's a way of parsing the days and documenting the inner passage of time. It has the added bonus that we get the privilege of peering into that moment of her life after the fact, and maybe learn a little. I, for one, am grateful that she did this and allowed me to share her experience. I wish you the best, Daria. This was a beautiful video.
Thank you for your kind words! 😊 A lot of people don’t realise that to some, a camera can be just like a paintbrush. It’s not all about social media, but about creation. People used cameras as the means of creative expression for over a century already, so social media, to me at least, is a very small part - an outlet for sharing my thoughts and creativity. Not a sole purpose behind it.
The problem as I see it here is that she wants to exclude herself from social media. But at the same time she is making a video for social media. Constantly thinking of angles for the camera. What’s going to work and what’s not going to work. What will create views and likes. How’s that “living in the moment “ ? Then again, it’s impossible to film a place like this for UA-cam without “breaking” the rules of a place like this.
I never posted on socia media but i love to document everything just for the sake of holding the memory. Even though i crave to be alone and at peace there was always a fear of not indulging in the moment well enough, filming creates a fulfilment and for her, a creator, it seems pretty reasonable. @danielsal5442
Cuz she's being false for views/money, but seems so mamy love fake now so they'll overlook this. You cant claim what she is claiming while filming n all this 😂 it's like those videos of people crying on camera 😂
LOVE THIS!! I have worked as an international flt attendant for 38 years. 400 passengers per flight. 1200 meals served, 1200 picked up. I enjoy my job immensely BECAUSE after 2 weeks of flying all over the world, I scoot to my 55-acre orchard cottage, built in 1910, in a small town in western Canada. No tv, radio, neighbours, social media. Just 6 book cases, an old bike, candles, a clawfoot tub, and a grand piano surrounded by 27,000 fruit trees. It is the antidote to civilization ~ and I feel eternally blessed.
I’m also an introvert and needed to recharge my battery when I’m With people. This is exactly why I bought a tiny house in the woods , with a small creek and pond in the country side, I would go there on the weekends and connect with nature , it’s soo refreshing
I didn't mean to invade ur privacy, but, the way u describe ur 'hideout' it intrigued me. Mind sharing with me? (I mean by photos/videos). Perhaps, we can exchange our thoughts... Btw, i am going to be 60 this year and living off-grid all by myself in Malaysia. Take gud care.
Be careful, my dear... When you start taking these kind of short trips alone, it is so goooood that you need to live the experience again and again and again. This is what I do, now. I'm retired, free, and spend one month here, one month there (less expensive when you rent for a month!!!)... always far from the city crazy life and pollution. Always close to the forest, or the sea... I just love it. I also make videos (here on UA-cam), paint, draw, write, or just spend time walking in Nature, contemplating its beauty. This is a wonderful way of living. Nothing is more fullfilling than stay close to nature AND ALONE (that means free!)...
I spend half my time off grid with zero connectivity. No cell signal. No telephone. No radio although I could have one. It slows you down. The house is so quiet. Its 1970 again in a way. It makes you very creative and gives you an opportunity to notice all the little things.
I don't agree that it was a better place. Social media and cell phones make us more connected and quicker to get information from each other and starts making people worldwide less easier to fool.
Oh I don’t pay attention to them at all, they’re mostly talking to themselves and it’s even entertaining a little 😅 Haters are always the loudest, but in reality, I’m lucky there aren’t that many of them here. 😊 Thank you for an encouragement!
You are the real inspiration for me. People don't like my nature even my family members. I'm introvert I really don't like to involve in groups. I don't like to spill tea. I enjoy solo travelling, my room, my company. But People's don't accept my nature. dealing with peoples is a big conflict for me. I regularly watch your videos. Your videos heal me. You looked serene in this video. Thank you for inspiring through your videos. And hope you will read this messege. my gratitude will reached to you.
Aah it’s tough isn’t it! I also only have 1-2 friends who understand boundaries like that and love nature. It can be tough, as people like us don’t go out much, so we can’t meet the like minded ones! 😅 I’m happy my videos help! 🥰
😊A fellow introvert here, wanting to show support! 😉 It is estimated we are between 30 and 50 percent of the world population, and essential for the balance and advancement of Humanity. But we have been "closeted" or thinking we were just weird for so many time, that didn't realize this truth until recent times! It is certainly annoying that the world around us seems tailored to fit just the extrovert size, and to top it all, some of us are from countries that are culturally an extrovert's paradise! (🇪🇸 😅 My case! 😌) But don't despair, and just be yourself, as so many creators, geniuses, artists, scientists, writers, pioneers and just happy (if often annoyed 😁) fellow introverts have been, while they were changing the world or just chilling out in their rooms! 😉👍 🤗
@@IamDariaah It's really true that's why I talk more and more with plants and pets. I think they understand us better than anyone.😅 And feeling great. there are people like me exists in this world.
@@thisisvedanti2264 Yes! I am this kind of person! Love to be alone because, I appreciate things my own path. I fell so much more free... and more deeply in communion with nature. I also love the company of animals. They are son much less complicated to deal with. No super dimensional egos!...
Whether she is filming or not I believe this is a positive outlet for what we can watch, it’s a better consumption of UA-cam than the average UA-camrs ! She inspires me :)
Perfect, if you're a writer. All day to read and write without interruptions. The best thing about that cabin, to me, is the large window with which to take in the unobstructed view, and moody weather that I love. Do you think the rain made it extra special? I'm feeling nostalgic about that phone. I miss my Nokia. I had a beautiful red one. I think it was my first cell phone. ♥🥰
Oh indeed! Creativity flows in an environment like that ✨✨ I loved that window too, it was so crucial. And rain made it special and serene. It’s my favourite type of weather to look at. 🌧️ And I had a Nokia too, but mine was orange! 😄
@@IamDaria me too I love rainy weather and my dream is to live in this kind of cabin Just imagine being an astrophysicist here Researching about space and viewing the night sky at night with soft wind blowing
I understand intrusive thoughts, memories that spark the trauma one is trying to outrun, hoping to out live. There is no way to make friends with trauma, or the memories of it. Sometimes visual and audio makes a barrier of temporary protection. I have learned to choose carefully some visual or audio that won’t trigger the trauma memories. Sleep is still difficult as you can’t monitor the dreams and shut them off. Lovely lass, you do what helps. Don’t judge yourself for needing to escape. Use what comforts you, visual audiovisual, what ever comforts. 🦋
Beautiful words! Not gonna lie, I actually had some nightmares when I stayed there - it might be the wind, or it might be the book I was reading. I'm a naturally more melancholic person, but I like to add to it by reading darker themed books while being alone. I don't like to think of it as self sabotage, but it definitely does evoke some negative emotions.
This is a very professional video you have made. So many different camera angles and shots. Many details. It looks great. Congratulations! I think it is very important that you take a time out to find inner peace. No social media, no loud noises, no city, no hurry, no traffic, no angry people, no polluted air or places. Just only you and the nature. It is good for your soul, your spirit, your mind and your health. I think what you have done it is the best way to recover energy. The nature is your friend. I live on the countryside , far away from big citys, in a small village surrounded by nice forests: no hurry, no angry people just pure decelaration. For about 4 weeks I didn't go to a city. Yesterday I visited a friend in a very big city (Frankfurt, Germany). The town was horrible, so many people are in a hurry, looked bad and unhappy. The air was so polluted and the city was so loud and noisy. I was happy that I finally made it home. But the reunion with my old friend was very great.
No don't listen to any of the comments. You are very beautiful, artistic and creative and at the right path. I always love you videos - you inspire the little girl in me
Sometimes I feel guilty about the way I am and how I value and desire to spend time alone and be in the quiet. It seems around me I am meant to always showcase myself as such an extroverted person but that's just not who I am. This video made me feel not alone in the most beautiful way; to see how others also value and enjoy living in this way. Everything was beautiful. Thank you.
I have never known someone be able to create such an intimate nostalgic vulnerable feeling in such a short video, they feel like a Disney movie but in real time, so beautiful ❤🥰
I sincerely hope that all of us able to do something like this someday.Modern lifestyle leaves us crushed under burdens and responsibilities.Our hearts need healing.
haha survived indeed, though this was such a comfortable experience in comparison to many others! I'm afraid I wouldn't go wild camping (as an example) right away, but I remember enjoying it as a child. This will be next!
I think this video is adorable, the cabin, the cart, the window, your outfits, it's all so enchanting. You photographed the experience so well. I have always traveled alone, because if I waited for a travel partner I'd never go anywhere.
Oh I admire you so much for it! There is something special in this experience, and you're right.. sometimes you have to go alone, to not let others stop you!
Thank you for bringing forth that at some point you craved human connection.. As an introvert myself..I thought that being by myself entirely would be pure bliss but having stayed for almost a month by myself..I started feeling depressed and continually sad and helpless but once I got back to interacting with people(I'm a teacher) and taking energy boosting breaks here and there..I was okay again..this is where I learnt that we don't need to completely seclude ourselves..we just need a good balance with our social life.
Lovely, lovely video. I watched all the way to the end and listened to the lovely words. You clearly acknowledged that you aren't truly alone or completely away from your work. It was easy to understand (unlike some negative nancies here who only view the world in black and white). Your video reminds us that, if we can, we might all benefit from switching off and enjoying quiet times like these. I'm glad the positive comments outweigh the negative ones. Keep up the beautiful videos. You make great work.
What a wonderful place to stay. To just switch off the light bulb of life, and be calm for a few days. I am not scared of being alone with nature, it is people that scare me the most, and so I do live a reclusive lifestyle, with my rescue greyhound Madge. There can be days when I do not talk to another human being, but I am happy with that, as I talk to Madge, and myself! xxx
I watch and listen to EVERYTHING that includes rain storms snow cold sitting around fire pits etc...Because I live in the antithisis and am working my way out from and into the cold rainy stormy location asap
You are a brave person. It's not easy in this day and age to pluck up the courage to be on your own without technology or anyone for that matter. Thank you very much for sharing. You have lit up a light in my life. Perhaps, I will do the same thing one of these days. I'll keep you posted
I want to live a slow life!! I would love to have some time alone especially since I live with my spouse who loves to talk nonstop for hours and is also mentally ill which is difficult for me to deal with a lot of the times. That's why I say I would enjoy having days for myself. I imagine myself in a tiny house having quiet time, taking naps, and reading a good book.
I have no social media. No friends. Just a hubby that allows me the freedom to be as free as a single person as he is free to do the same, and a teenager so determined to leave me and “be grown” it seems she only checks in like this is an Airbnb. I truly live the Alone lifestyle. YT is as social as it gets for me 🫠😅.
I love this so much. To be alone doesn’t mean that you’re lonely. I think we often forget we’re not actually at the hip of other people. Doing things like this helps us re-individualize and come back to who we are naturally. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like watching this all back. Filming like this is ingenious, you get to reflect more.
life has been feeling so stressful lately and i've been feeling so old and mentally drained. the only thing helping me to get up every day is the thought that if i work hard i'll be able to have this in less than a year. i look forward to baking and reading, even though i'll have to read on my phone since it'd be too expensive to take my books with me - but at least i'll take one with me, my favourite probably. i loved this because it reminded me of my dream in a particularly hard day
I don't know if you read this comment but I watch this video for improve my listening skills in English in the same time I love so much the video and sound of rain 😊
Same here. Her way of speaking English is classic. At the same time, the video is my most favorite one. It's so cool, so tranquil that my tormented spirit gets healed soon.
This looks so amazing! I love how you captured the scenery and the mood of the cabin. It really does come through, the feeling of being alone in the evening. There's something so very serene about it but at the same time a bit worrying. Being alone in the dark does awaken some very interesting feelings in one. Amazing video! Absolutely love the atmosphere and the thoughts you've shared!
Thank you so much! 🥰 I think being alone and having no other technology to rely on made the creative process a bit easier. I was scared alone at night though!
Hello Daria, you decided it was time to try something new and trusted the magic within and survived the cliff of fear!! You revealed the hero in you. You turned into yourself, you faced what frightens many and allowed courage and bravery to light your way!!! Congratulations! True heartfelt poetry lives on!!!! Thank you 🙏 and sweet blessings⭐️🫶✨
What a lovely experience. I cannot imagine the bliss you felt in that silence. Like you said, we need to find that harmony between our daily digital lives and the absence of it living with our thoughts, alone in nature. This makes me want to find a similar experience in my area for a little me time to decompress. Thanks again for bringing us along with you 😊
I did a complete social detox (digitally + physically) by attending a 10-day Vipassana Meditation centre. It was the most surreal and overwhelming experience I have had to date. To see you take this detox, takes me back to 2017, when I was weaned away from all ways of communications - verbal and non verbal to solely focus on myself. The experience came with its teachings and learnings and allowed me to learn so much more about myself and the potential I carry.
I am in love with your cinematography here! Those transitions.. ah! so good! As for the topic, I believe more and more of us seek to find a balance between life online and being unplugged. I'm happy to never have a "real" smartphone (use an old one only as an alarm clock) but I'm glued to my laptop often. What I found really beneficial for me was cooking and doing chores in complete silence, rarely with music on. On my walks, I don't have any technology with me. It helps me to be a peace with my mind overall and gives my eyes a rest. And as you said, yes, I also want to share it with people, so I love having deep conversations in the language community I'm in. We even had sessions there about ways to unplug. So grateful to you and many others for this space on UA-cam where you can go and relax, rethink and redefine. 💚
I'm so dreaming of a life like this, and craving moments like these for myself. These videos help me feel calm and hope for a similar life, calm, collected, solo, peaceful, natural. So tranquil and serene!
I used to go backpacking in the mountains when I was younger. Once I went alone, but I saw people on the trails every day. I also struggle with intrusive thoughts, and I think it's because of unresolved traumas. I wish you peace of mind :)
The fulfilling nature of vastness, like an empty green field outside a raindrop-covered window, is something that I have always felt and yet never heard anyone else talk about before. This is already one of my most favorite videos of yours, along with For Highly Sensitive Humans And Empaths and Inspiration For Autumn.
Thank you so much! 🥰 Oh you know, someone mentioned it to me at some point, that the nature I show isn't quite "striking"- in its epic landscapes, mountains, sea, whatever it is we find so magnificent to look at, - but it still is somehow beautiful in its simplicity. And I didn't quite understand that. I always (by always, perhaps, I mean since the moment I learned to be present) found nature beautiful in all its forms. But I finally understood the meaning of it. It's not "striking" to an untrained eye, but it's beautiful to those who choose to see.
It's been years since I've been on a vacation of any real length. Recently, I have thought about making my next vacation one like yours that you've shared in this video. Off grid, or at least away from busy cities or towns, and alone. Not to escape. But, to connect with myself in a way I haven't done in way too long. Thanks for sharing these days with us. It has inspired me once again. Subscribed.
I can’t even begin to express the comfort and peace I got from watching this video thank you for showing your great experience captured and documented all so beautifully 🤍🤍🤍
Daria...Me encanta el contenido de cada vídeo tuyo que voy viendo, y hoy me he tropezado con éste, y te lo he mirado 3 veces porque me parece una maravilla tener esa idea de aislamiento, y dejar de lado por un espacio de tiempo la tecnología a la que hoy estamos acostumbrados. Pienso que es ideal hacer una escapada así de vez en cuando para renovar energías, reordenar pensamientos y hacerlo en soledad creo que ayuda más a reflexionar con tranquilidad cualquier tema que pueda estar provocando inseguridad, descontento o tan solo buscar una liberación de la vida cotidiana, ayuda a lograrlo. El lugar es una maravilla, la cabaña es perfecta, y ver llover con esa fuerza me parece muy inspirador para quien le guste escribir o hacer cualquier otra actividad que ese clima le resulte motivador...para mí lo es !!! Sigue siendo tu misma Daria, y reflexiona cuantas veces lo creas necesario, lo que importa es que lo hagas siempre sin importarte la negatividad de a quien se la veas que te la muestre...VIVE TU VIDA A TU MANERA !!! UN FUERTE ABRAZO, GUAPA.
This is my favorite thing to do! I grew up with record albums, reel to reel, 8-track player in my first car... We had a party line with our landlines, so, because of the gossipy neighbor we didn't want to anger, we barely got to use it, unless she went somewhere. We didn't even have a color TV until I was a teenager. I'm fine with being connected to everything most days but to completely let go of everything electronic every now and then is the best thing ever! I bought an off-grid cabin for my 60th birthday. It needs a lot of work! But I enjoy that, too, every chance I get.
Give up all screens for 3 days. Or longer. It’s wonderful. You’ll be grounded and more relaxed. Most of what comes through screens we don’t need, and it isn’t good for us.
Thank you for such a beautiful video, made me yearn for my own happy place., I am very introverted and at times I really need to be alone. Unluckily I live in a very noisy place, and seem to be expected to spend time with people, interact with them most days and very often I would be very happy isolated, just like you did, and watch outside nature and celebrate myself…have time to reflect, being able to get creative. That cabin and its surroundings seemed like heaven! Must try something like that someday…Thank you again
❤Off grid! Seeking for true, listening and watching my feelings and thoughts like passing by, as a clouds… Really beautiful moments in nature. Thank you for this vídeo.
You always speak to my soul through your amazing videos my loveliest Daria ♥️🥰 Spending time with yourself in silence is the greatest gift 🎁 (and the sunrise through the window 🪟🌞) Thank you for all the magic moments you share with us ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Your camerawork captures life beautifully. Embellished though it may be, the thin slice of reality you shared, serves as a stark reminder of how important it is to ground ourselves from time to time. And, in all sincerity, something about the quality of an overcast day in the countryside draws me in, unlike what we experience in the city. ☕
I love this idea, both to go and experience this type of "unpluggedness" but also the concept of the cabin itself. One could of course argue that you can do all these things at home too, but there is something special with leaving your routine to gain a new perspective.
I own two IT Consulting companies. As you can imagine it is quite the opposite lifestyle. Your video has inspired me to take more time for myself without devices. For six,years I am journaling and this is done with pen and paper, by intention. Although I am an advocate of all the tech, I even more know the worth of analog processes and processing. Thanks very much for sharing your experiences 😉
Hello, first time viewer..Im a self described introvert also and enjoy living alone purposely..the "unplugged" idea is a great thing to do and the place you stayed has it set up perfectly. What a view to wake up to also!! I keep saying ill go do this myself but haven't yet.. thanks for the reminder! 🙂
Such a peacefull and inspiring video. I hope to make this a challenge for myself during the summer- spending less time on my phone. A great video as always, have a lovely March ahead🤎
Thank you so much! 🥰 Oh that’s a challenge indeed. I need to make it into a habit myself, especially after this experience. I look at the screen too much!
Hello 👋 My Dearest Friend Daria: Just Finished Watching Your Video Today. Sorry: For Being A Day Late For Responding Back To You. I Congratulate You For Being Such A Strong Woman In Doing What You Did For Yourself. I Would Love To Do What You Did. Go Away And Enjoy Myself Off The Grid SomeWhere And ReFind Myself. I Too Have Been Going Threw A lot. This New Year Has Started Really Bad For Me. But, I Keep Telling Myself That It Will Get Better Someday. Your Video Was So Beautiful And Relaxing. Thank You 🙏 So Much. You Are My Inspiration And My Friend. Have A Blessed Day-And I Will Be Waiting For Your Next Journey. From: Your Friend In San Antonio, Texas USA🤠🇺🇸🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for another lovely video.......I always look forward to your thoughts and struggles/hopes. Such relaxing thoughts and themes. ....and music. x
I spent a few days alone in an off grid cabin - this is my very first experience traveling solo, without technology or social media. I found it a bit scary, because I do struggle with some intrusive thinking. The experience was very wonderful though. I managed to conquer some of my fears (brought on by anxiety and intrusive thinking) and actually unplug for a few days.
Have you ever done anything like this? If not, would you want to?
Yes, I would! I understand about intrusive thoughts. I'm an over-thinker and would have the same problem without the distractions.
Hello.
Fear is a part of life. For everyone. You have the same options to deal with it as everybody else. Ignore the possibilities, accept what may come, decide what you have the strenght to fight or the patience to accept. Learn things that help with it.
I know of a person who is scared of horses. If you think about it, most horses weight far more than a human and could steam run over people if they so choose. Or if they get scared enough to not think at all. But when you learn to read them and to notice the sign when a horse sees something, they find scary, you can react to it in a reasonable and somewhat calm manner.
Another idea would be to add experiences. If you are scared of sheep and such, visit a petting zoo for example.
Fear doesn't disappear really, but by choosing to go out of your own comfortzone, you can grow confidence, that you can deal with it. Or at least with the choosen situations. To me, sheep are a lot less scary than just cars. Because sheeps tend to cause way fewer accidents...
Maybe pick up a book on how to teach children confidence, or adults. But if you are struggleing with things others would consider a no-brainer, it may be wise to start small with a kids book and work your way up.
There is no shame in admitting that a part of you (in this case confidence) stopped growing early on. It's true for a lot of us, though which part it is, is very varied. If you grew up with few people, it's perfectly normal to worry about other people. But avoiding them isn't going to change that.
In my case what stopped early on, was actually romance. My early experience was rather (please excuse the word-choice) dick-driven. It's not that I mind doing something the other person wants to do. It's that I found myself in relationships that only think about their own wishes, but ignore any and all wishes from me. I didn't see the point in seeing someone, who wouldn't do anything with me, that showed a little bit of care for me.
Well, good luck in connecting with others. Maybe try out talking to someone instead of going off grid? Sounds to me like a better choice in conquering your fears.

Taking time with the little things - like holding a feather is surely one of the hidden treasured moments of 'la vita' 🪶
I’ve never been so scared when I moved to Taiwan years ago, pushing through those fears lead to my most precious life experiences. Loved this video, you’re very talented film maker.
There's a lot of people knocking this girl for filming while being alone. But for a video artist, this is no different than a canvas for a painter or paper and pen for a writer.

This is a wonderful way of living. Nothing is more fullfilling than stay close to nature AND ALONE (that means free!)...
I moved to the forest in the end and found peace.
Deleted all but fb and UA-cam but I'm working at deleting fb.
Is it any bear on there my friends living California,in winter the bear will come out ,only the gun n ski can avoid bad things 😢
I spend half my time off grid with zero connectivity. No cell signal. No telephone. No radio although I could have one. It slows you down. The house is so quiet. Its 1970 again in a way. It makes you very creative and gives you an opportunity to notice all the little things.
The world was a much better place before social media and cell phones, glad I'm old enough to remember those days.
Me 2 it was the best days nothing but you and a phone box down the street if you could be bothered with that
I don't agree that it was a better place. Social media and cell phones make us more connected and quicker to get information from each other and starts making people worldwide less easier to fool.
@DevelopingStartups it's making us just more dependent and helping us devolve.
Totally agree.
Yes. Now it I turn off my cellphone for a day people get worried about me because I don't answer texts.
There are always haters and negative Nellie’s. You’re still doing it alone which is more than some of these trolls have the courage to do
Oh I don’t pay attention to them at all, they’re mostly talking to themselves and it’s even entertaining a little 😅 Haters are always the loudest, but in reality, I’m lucky there aren’t that many of them here. 😊 Thank you for an encouragement!
You are the real inspiration for me. People don't like my nature even my family members. I'm introvert I really don't like to involve in groups. I don't like to spill tea. I enjoy solo travelling, my room, my company. But People's don't accept my nature. dealing with peoples is a big conflict for me.
I regularly watch your videos. Your videos heal me. You looked serene in this video.
Thank you for inspiring through your videos. And hope you will read this messege. my gratitude will reached to you.
Aah it’s tough isn’t it! I also only have 1-2 friends who understand boundaries like that and love nature. It can be tough, as people like us don’t go out much, so we can’t meet the like minded ones! 😅 I’m happy my videos help! 🥰
😊A fellow introvert here, wanting to show support! 😉 It is estimated we are between 30 and 50 percent of the world population, and essential for the balance and advancement of Humanity. But we have been "closeted" or thinking we were just weird for so many time, that didn't realize this truth until recent times! It is certainly annoying that the world around us seems tailored to fit just the extrovert size, and to top it all, some of us are from countries that are culturally an extrovert's paradise! (🇪🇸 😅 My case! 😌) But don't despair, and just be yourself, as so many creators, geniuses, artists, scientists, writers, pioneers and just happy (if often annoyed 😁) fellow introverts have been, while they were changing the world or just chilling out in their rooms! 😉👍 🤗
@@IamDariaah It's really true that's why I talk more and more with plants and pets. I think they understand us better than anyone.😅 And feeling great. there are people like me exists in this world.
@@thisisvedanti2264 Yes! I am this kind of person! Love to be alone because, I appreciate things my own path. I fell so much more free... and more deeply in communion with nature. I also love the company of animals. They are son much less complicated to deal with. No super dimensional egos!...
@thisisvedanti2264 I think we both share alot in common. 😚
Whether she is filming or not I believe this is a positive outlet for what we can watch, it’s a better consumption of UA-cam than the average UA-camrs ! She inspires me :)
Thank you so much 🥹
@you’re welcome :D
Completely agree.
Perfect, if you're a writer. All day to read and write without interruptions. The best thing about that cabin, to me, is the large window with which to take in the unobstructed view, and moody weather that I love. Do you think the rain made it extra special? I'm feeling nostalgic about that phone. I miss my Nokia. I had a beautiful red one. I think it was my first cell phone. ♥🥰
Oh indeed! Creativity flows in an environment like that ✨✨ I loved that window too, it was so crucial. And rain made it special and serene. It’s my favourite type of weather to look at. 🌧️ And I had a Nokia too, but mine was orange! 😄
@@IamDaria me too I love rainy weather and my dream is to live in this kind of cabin
Just imagine being an astrophysicist here
Researching about space and viewing the night sky at night with soft wind blowing
How wonderful it would be if everyone in the world could have moments of peace in their daily lives like in this video.
It’s the best thing to do every once in a while
I understand intrusive thoughts, memories that spark the trauma one is trying to outrun, hoping to out live. There is no way to make friends with trauma, or the memories of it. Sometimes visual and audio makes a barrier of temporary protection. I have learned to choose carefully some visual or audio that won’t trigger the trauma memories. Sleep is still difficult as you can’t monitor the dreams and shut them off.
Lovely lass, you do what helps. Don’t judge yourself for needing to escape. Use what comforts you, visual audiovisual, what ever comforts. 🦋
Beautiful words! Not gonna lie, I actually had some nightmares when I stayed there - it might be the wind, or it might be the book I was reading. I'm a naturally more melancholic person, but I like to add to it by reading darker themed books while being alone. I don't like to think of it as self sabotage, but it definitely does evoke some negative emotions.
cabin living on rainy days are the best, its nostalgic. i enjoyed this very much! thank you :)
I am an English learner, watching your video is really a delightful thing ,the song is wonderful and the view also very beautiful .
So am I.😊
This is a very professional video you have made. So many different camera angles and shots. Many details. It looks great. Congratulations!
I think it is very important that you take a time out to find inner peace. No social media, no loud noises, no city, no hurry, no traffic, no angry people, no polluted air or places. Just only you and the nature.
It is good for your soul, your spirit, your mind and your health. I think what you have done it is the best way to recover energy. The nature is your friend.
I live on the countryside , far away from big citys, in a small village surrounded by nice forests:
no hurry, no angry people just pure decelaration.
For about 4 weeks I didn't go to a city. Yesterday I visited a friend in a very big city (Frankfurt, Germany). The town was horrible, so many people are in a hurry, looked bad and unhappy. The air was so polluted and the city was so loud and noisy. I was happy that I finally made it home. But the reunion with my old friend was very great.
Actually the train station of Frankfurt is one of the most dangerous places.. sad how Germany develops 😔
No don't listen to any of the comments. You are very beautiful, artistic and creative and at the right path. I always love you videos - you inspire the little girl in me
Sometimes I feel guilty about the way I am and how I value and desire to spend time alone and be in the quiet. It seems around me I am meant to always showcase myself as such an extroverted person but that's just not who I am. This video made me feel not alone in the most beautiful way; to see how others also value and enjoy living in this way. Everything was beautiful. Thank you.
I have never known someone be able to create such an intimate nostalgic vulnerable feeling in such a short video, they feel like a Disney movie but in real time, so beautiful ❤🥰
Such a mood 🥹 I also love being alone, just accompanied by nature, especially rain!!! ❤
Loved seeing a thousand mornings by Mary Oliver there. This was a beautiful calming video of a cabin stay.
I sincerely hope that all of us able to do something like this someday.Modern lifestyle leaves us crushed under burdens and responsibilities.Our hearts need healing.
Sounds okay to me. You did your research before you made your choice. You learnt something new about yourself. Congratulations you survived. ❤
haha survived indeed, though this was such a comfortable experience in comparison to many others! I'm afraid I wouldn't go wild camping (as an example) right away, but I remember enjoying it as a child. This will be next!
I think this video is adorable, the cabin, the cart, the window, your outfits, it's all so enchanting. You photographed the experience so well.
I have always traveled alone, because if I waited for a travel partner I'd never go anywhere.
Oh I admire you so much for it! There is something special in this experience, and you're right.. sometimes you have to go alone, to not let others stop you!
why to wait bro, start alone and you will get few people on the journey.
same 🫶🏼
Thank you for bringing forth that at some point you craved human connection.. As an introvert myself..I thought that being by myself entirely would be pure bliss but having stayed for almost a month by myself..I started feeling depressed and continually sad and helpless but once I got back to interacting with people(I'm a teacher) and taking energy boosting breaks here and there..I was okay again..this is where I learnt that we don't need to completely seclude ourselves..we just need a good balance with our social life.
Lovely, lovely video. I watched all the way to the end and listened to the lovely words. You clearly acknowledged that you aren't truly alone or completely away from your work. It was easy to understand (unlike some negative nancies here who only view the world in black and white). Your video reminds us that, if we can, we might all benefit from switching off and enjoying quiet times like these. I'm glad the positive comments outweigh the negative ones. Keep up the beautiful videos. You make great work.
What a wonderful place to stay. To just switch off the light bulb of life, and be calm for a few days. I am not scared of being alone with nature, it is people that scare me the most, and so I do live a reclusive lifestyle, with my rescue greyhound Madge. There can be days when I do not talk to another human being, but I am happy with that, as I talk to Madge, and myself! xxx
This video healed my soul. It's now on my bucket list!
Very beautiful content, expressing the beauty of your soul.
I watch and listen to EVERYTHING that includes rain storms snow cold sitting around fire pits etc...Because I live in the antithisis and am working my way out from and into the cold rainy stormy location asap
You are a brave person. It's not easy in this day and age to pluck up the courage to be on your own without technology or anyone for that matter. Thank you very much for sharing. You have lit up a light in my life. Perhaps, I will do the same thing one of these days. I'll keep you posted
I want to live a slow life!! I would love to have some time alone especially since I live with my spouse who loves to talk nonstop for hours and is also mentally ill which is difficult for me to deal with a lot of the times. That's why I say I would enjoy having days for myself. I imagine myself in a tiny house having quiet time, taking naps, and reading a good book.
I have no social media. No friends. Just a hubby that allows me the freedom to be as free as a single person as he is free to do the same, and a teenager so determined to leave me and “be grown” it seems she only checks in like this is an Airbnb. I truly live the Alone lifestyle. YT is as social as it gets for me 🫠😅.
I love this so much. To be alone doesn’t mean that you’re lonely. I think we often forget we’re not actually at the hip of other people. Doing things like this helps us re-individualize and come back to who we are naturally. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like watching this all back. Filming like this is ingenious, you get to reflect more.
I need this place where there is only peace and reassurance😔✨
life has been feeling so stressful lately and i've been feeling so old and mentally drained. the only thing helping me to get up every day is the thought that if i work hard i'll be able to have this in less than a year. i look forward to baking and reading, even though i'll have to read on my phone since it'd be too expensive to take my books with me - but at least i'll take one with me, my favourite probably. i loved this because it reminded me of my dream in a particularly hard day
I adored the sounds in this video. The rain was mesmerising. This looked like an idyllic 2 days. The sounds of nature throughout are beautiful. X
I don't know if you read this comment but I watch this video for improve my listening skills in English in the same time I love so much the video and sound of rain 😊
Same here. Her way of speaking English is classic. At the same time, the video is my most favorite one. It's so cool, so tranquil that my tormented spirit gets healed soon.
The golden light is beautiful
This looks so amazing! I love how you captured the scenery and the mood of the cabin. It really does come through, the feeling of being alone in the evening. There's something so very serene about it but at the same time a bit worrying. Being alone in the dark does awaken some very interesting feelings in one. Amazing video! Absolutely love the atmosphere and the thoughts you've shared!
Thank you so much! 🥰 I think being alone and having no other technology to rely on made the creative process a bit easier. I was scared alone at night though!
Hello Daria, you decided it was time to try something new and trusted the magic within and survived the cliff of fear!! You revealed the hero in you. You turned into yourself, you faced what frightens many and allowed courage and bravery to light your way!!! Congratulations! True heartfelt poetry lives on!!!! Thank you 🙏 and sweet blessings⭐️🫶✨
Thank you so much for such kind words!
What a lovely experience. I cannot imagine the bliss you felt in that silence. Like you said, we need to find that harmony between our daily digital lives and the absence of it living with our thoughts, alone in nature. This makes me want to find a similar experience in my area for a little me time to decompress. Thanks again for bringing us along with you 😊
I did a complete social detox (digitally + physically) by attending a 10-day Vipassana Meditation centre. It was the most surreal and overwhelming experience I have had to date. To see you take this detox, takes me back to 2017, when I was weaned away from all ways of communications - verbal and non verbal to solely focus on myself. The experience came with its teachings and learnings and allowed me to learn so much more about myself and the potential I carry.
i checked the 10 day vipassana meditation, how was it?
I am in love with your cinematography here! Those transitions.. ah! so good! As for the topic, I believe more and more of us seek to find a balance between life online and being unplugged.
I'm happy to never have a "real" smartphone (use an old one only as an alarm clock) but I'm glued to my laptop often. What I found really beneficial for me was cooking and doing chores in complete silence, rarely with music on. On my walks, I don't have any technology with me. It helps me to be a peace with my mind overall and gives my eyes a rest. And as you said, yes, I also want to share it with people, so I love having deep conversations in the language community I'm in. We even had sessions there about ways to unplug. So grateful to you and many others for this space on UA-cam where you can go and relax, rethink and redefine. 💚
I'm so dreaming of a life like this, and craving moments like these for myself. These videos help me feel calm and hope for a similar life, calm, collected, solo, peaceful, natural. So tranquil and serene!
so calm video specialy your voice, thanks
Trying new things is good therapy especially if you really want to escape a lil bit from the humdrum routine.
Your channel is a go-to resource! For those who need it, Immersive Translate makes following along easy
Sometimes disconnection becomes blessings in life... Nice video.
I used to go backpacking in the mountains when I was younger. Once I went alone, but I saw people on the trails every day. I also struggle with intrusive thoughts, and I think it's because of unresolved traumas. I wish you peace of mind :)
The fulfilling nature of vastness, like an empty green field outside a raindrop-covered window, is something that I have always felt and yet never heard anyone else talk about before. This is already one of my most favorite videos of yours, along with For Highly Sensitive Humans And Empaths and Inspiration For Autumn.
Thank you so much! 🥰 Oh you know, someone mentioned it to me at some point, that the nature I show isn't quite "striking"- in its epic landscapes, mountains, sea, whatever it is we find so magnificent to look at, - but it still is somehow beautiful in its simplicity. And I didn't quite understand that. I always (by always, perhaps, I mean since the moment I learned to be present) found nature beautiful in all its forms. But I finally understood the meaning of it. It's not "striking" to an untrained eye, but it's beautiful to those who choose to see.
It's been years since I've been on a vacation of any real length. Recently, I have thought about making my next vacation one like yours that you've shared in this video. Off grid, or at least away from busy cities or towns, and alone. Not to escape. But, to connect with myself in a way I haven't done in way too long. Thanks for sharing these days with us. It has inspired me once again. Subscribed.
How beautiful! What a wonder to wake up with that window with that view!
I can’t wait to take my first solo trip I’m so inspired 😍
This made me happy. Truly happy. Thank you
I can’t even begin to express the comfort and peace I got from watching this video thank you for showing your great experience captured and documented all so beautifully 🤍🤍🤍
Daria...Me encanta el contenido de cada vídeo tuyo que voy viendo, y hoy me he tropezado con éste, y te lo he mirado 3 veces porque me parece una maravilla tener esa idea de aislamiento, y dejar de lado por un espacio de tiempo la tecnología a la que hoy estamos acostumbrados.
Pienso que es ideal hacer una escapada así de vez en cuando para renovar energías, reordenar pensamientos y hacerlo en soledad creo que ayuda más a reflexionar con tranquilidad cualquier tema que pueda estar provocando inseguridad, descontento o tan solo buscar una liberación de la vida cotidiana, ayuda a lograrlo.
El lugar es una maravilla, la cabaña es perfecta, y ver llover con esa fuerza me parece muy inspirador para quien le guste escribir o hacer cualquier otra actividad que ese clima le resulte motivador...para mí lo es !!!
Sigue siendo tu misma Daria, y reflexiona cuantas veces lo creas necesario, lo que importa es que lo hagas siempre sin importarte la negatividad de a quien se la veas que te la muestre...VIVE TU VIDA A TU MANERA !!!
UN FUERTE ABRAZO, GUAPA.
This is my favorite thing to do! I grew up with record albums, reel to reel, 8-track player in my first car... We had a party line with our landlines, so, because of the gossipy neighbor we didn't want to anger, we barely got to use it, unless she went somewhere. We didn't even have a color TV until I was a teenager. I'm fine with being connected to everything most days but to completely let go of everything electronic every now and then is the best thing ever! I bought an off-grid cabin for my 60th birthday. It needs a lot of work! But I enjoy that, too, every chance I get.
Give up all screens for 3 days. Or longer. It’s wonderful. You’ll be grounded and more relaxed. Most of what comes through screens we don’t need, and it isn’t good for us.
this life is my dream 🧚🏻♂️
me too
it's a dream of all introvert solitude beings.
@@Andreas.r2 yeeeees👍🏻
Where are u from
Thank you for such a beautiful video, made me yearn for my own happy place., I am very introverted and at times I really need to be alone. Unluckily I live in a very noisy place, and seem to be expected to spend time with people, interact with them most days and very often I would be very happy isolated, just like you did, and watch outside nature and celebrate myself…have time to reflect, being able to get creative. That cabin and its surroundings seemed like heaven! Must try something like that someday…Thank you again
What a wonderful idea 😊thank you for sharing
Without social media, is a conscious choice to disconnect from the constant noise of modern life and reconnect with yourself and the world around you
Great video, truly displays the calming effects that nature can have on us! 🌲
I could really thrive once in a while in this environment 😊 wish i had the courage
This is so wonderful!!! Knowing you are a girl exploring the vast forest. I really love doing this alone. ☺
My kind of living
Peace and quiet
Absolutely genuine love ❤️ this away time something I should do soon ❤❤❤
I love this. Enjoy your video. So cute playing the cassette tape and dancing on the bed. Hehe.
❤Off grid! Seeking for true, listening and watching my feelings and thoughts like passing by, as a clouds… Really beautiful moments in nature. Thank you for this vídeo.
You always speak to my soul through your amazing videos my loveliest Daria ♥️🥰 Spending time with yourself in silence is the greatest gift 🎁 (and the sunrise through the window 🪟🌞) Thank you for all the magic moments you share with us ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Thank you so much! ✨
Your camerawork captures life beautifully. Embellished though it may be, the thin slice of reality you shared, serves as a stark reminder of how important it is to ground ourselves from time to time. And, in all sincerity, something about the quality of an overcast day in the countryside draws me in, unlike what we experience in the city. ☕
it's wonderful for living close to nature and alone!!!!what a wonderful and brave experience！！
my God waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaau. This is So beautiful
It's really nice spending time with ur self .... Enjoy with peace
I love this idea, both to go and experience this type of "unpluggedness" but also the concept of the cabin itself. One could of course argue that you can do all these things at home too, but there is something special with leaving your routine to gain a new perspective.
This is really calm & peaceful, how I intimate this video as I was there, really fascinating.
This was so beautifully done and mad me reflect on my own life…thank you
I own two IT Consulting companies. As you can imagine it is quite the opposite lifestyle. Your video has inspired me to take more time for myself without devices. For six,years I am journaling and this is done with pen and paper, by intention. Although I am an advocate of all the tech, I even more know the worth of analog processes and processing. Thanks very much for sharing your experiences 😉
inspiring me to do the same, wonderful
It’s such a great thing to do!
Beautiful views. Thank you so much for the video and experiences you share with ❤
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Such a lovely, warm and comfy video! ❤❤Thank you for sharing those wonderful days with us!🙏
I love your slow life thank you for creating something comforting 🤍🍁
Bravo! A way of finding your way home to Nature.
Nature is always welcoming, isn't it?
Thank you for sharing the experience.
Again, bravo! :)
Hello, first time viewer..Im a self described introvert also and enjoy living alone purposely..the "unplugged" idea is a great thing to do and the place you stayed has it set up perfectly. What a view to wake up to also!!
I keep saying ill go do this myself but haven't yet.. thanks for the reminder! 🙂
hehe I love the "real" moments, like that tape joke or dancing on the bed!
They’re a bit scary to share, but that’s another fear I’m concurring
So simple but so beautiful and inspirational content❤
Your videos bring me so much comfort ❤
how wonderfull! congratulations for your work, it's so comfy to watch it and very beautifull!
Amazing! Stay along is very relaxing. Sometimes We should be alone for thinking own future, realize ourselves
Such a peacefull and inspiring video. I hope to make this a challenge for myself during the summer- spending less time on my phone.
A great video as always, have a lovely March ahead🤎
Thank you so much! 🥰 Oh that’s a challenge indeed. I need to make it into a habit myself, especially after this experience. I look at the screen too much!
Hello 👋 My Dearest Friend Daria: Just Finished Watching Your Video Today. Sorry: For Being A Day Late For Responding Back To You. I Congratulate You For Being Such A Strong Woman In Doing What You Did For Yourself. I Would Love To Do What You Did. Go Away And Enjoy Myself Off The Grid SomeWhere And ReFind Myself. I Too Have Been Going Threw A lot. This New Year Has Started Really Bad For Me. But, I Keep Telling Myself That It Will Get Better Someday. Your Video Was So Beautiful And Relaxing. Thank You 🙏 So Much. You Are My Inspiration And My Friend. Have A Blessed Day-And I Will Be Waiting For Your Next Journey. From: Your Friend In San Antonio, Texas USA🤠🇺🇸🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How beautiful d environment.
I simply love this kind of videos and became happy when I noticed that you were reading the same book I was reading by Donna Tart.
Thank you for another lovely video.......I always look forward to your thoughts and struggles/hopes. Such relaxing thoughts and themes. ....and music. x
Thank you so much!
you take me to another world.... I love this..
Que maravilloso tu retiro! Muy valiente estar en esos lugares sola!😮
