I just wanted to say thank you, I found your channel about 2 and half weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I was having very bad insomnia and panic attacks at night. My anxiety was through the roof. Your channel helped to calm me, so now when it’s time to go to bed I turn you on and escape to all the places you go. Thank you for taking us on your journey with you ❤
@@Nomadicintrovertseeing you in my stomping grounds made me so happy. Sorry I just love that you came up here and I commented a bunch when I was finally able to finish this video. So much love to you!!
Now THIS is where you should find a small permanent 'home base' to come back to when you need a break from traveling. Its heavenly...love the serenity, cleanliness and lack of hoardes of people!
there are NO people there. My best friend is from Ontonagon (she's a yooper). This part of the state is majestic and beautiful. I am now jealous of my best friend Cheryl. She grew up in the UP. I am from Maryland, I have beaches on the Atlantic, but these views are breathtaking.
Nomi, you should look up the song The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. It’s a song about a true shipwreck in a storm in 1975. It is eerie and beautiful and heart wrenching. The line, Does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours…I cry every time.
Hi there, if you’re still in the UP and you’re on Highway 41 going north, up past marquette, keep going north. If have the time…. Take it to the end, which is Copper Harbor! There is some beautiful scenery up there that you will be happy to see. It’s gorgeous up there!
Michigan and Ohio feuded over which state should have Toledo. The powers that be gave Toledo to Ohio, and compensated Michigan by giving it the UP. Sweet deal for Michigan! Glad you're stopping to smell the roses. ❤️
I'm confused here. Who gave the UP to Michigan? How could Ohio get the UO? It's above MI. I don't understand. I've lived here my whole life n heard such a thing, lol
@@terrilocke6225it’s was all part of the negotiation process. President Andrew Jackson and congress gave Michigan the UP if they’d give Toledo to Ohio to close the deal
@@marywegrzyn506it’s funny but the UP was part of Wisconsin which was still a territory at the time. However, Congress and Andrew Jackson wanted to settle the Toledo war (yes, there was a war) and told Michigan that if it conceded and gave Toledo to Ohio, they in turn would give the Up to Michigan. If this hadn’t happened, it’s likely the Up would’ve likely become part of Wisconsin
Well Michigan lucked out. Toledo is nothing to compare to the UP. Traveled to the UP several times and each time to a different area, which was beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for the lesson.
I have former in- laws in Traverse City. I'm from CA originally. Michigan is very nice but I couldn't adjust the colder weather. If you hadn't stopped, you would've missed those views. Adventures don't always mean getting there 'yesterday'. Treasures are always where you least expect them. ❤
Glad you went to the UP it’s beautiful over there. my husband and I our favorite places to go all the times. In your future traveling try to visit Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls . You will love it, especially in the fall colors. Praying for you get better. God bless you 🙏
Ooooh The U.P. has so many neat things to see and great places to camp! Lived in the UP for over 18 years and always found somewhere new to explore/hike/camp. Lake Superior is one of the most dangerous lakes. Check out the Maritime Museum if you can. The story of the Edmund Fitzgerald is heartbreaking.
Get well soon. My late husband was stationed at Ki sawyer Afb. Marquette is the town close b ki. He was stationed 9 yrs at ki. Very beautiful please b safe.
Don’t feel bad there are people from New York State that have never been to upstate New York. Upstate New York is equally as beautiful because of the lakes. You are now the official Michigan state ambassador.
Yep..I feel that way about my state IL. I know people who have never left Chicago…we have so many state parks and lakes and fishing and places to do vacation…throughout Illinois.
I am from Illinois and was just there Thursday Sept 14 just a few days ago. We loved it, we went all the way to Whitefish Point and went to the Great Lake Shipwreck Museum, it was amazing. We saw Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron all in the same day, it was chilly then as well. Have a safe and most wonderful trip.
Thank you for sharing the UP. When you mentioned the lone sailboat and wonder where it was going… I do the same thing. Hope you feel better soon. Be safe and enjoy.
Michigander here via Detroit and just want to say I love your videos! Thanks for sharing places I never knew about. I definitely want of visit the tunnel beach in Holland! I lived in Michigan for 30 years and never have been to the UP.
I hope you feel better soon. I know where that outlet is. My hubby loves it there. Have fun in UP. We went to Copper Harbor in the fall. It was breathtaking.
You just came through my town! I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your first visit to the U.P.! There is nothing like it! I'll be going over the bridge myself on Monday and can't wait! Thanks for sharing your travels with us. I've really enjoyed your videos a lot. Be safe and feel better! 💞
Thanks for the opportunity to visit different places, that I probably wouldn’t get too. Your awesome, I try your different foods and haven’t had any bad, not that I expect that.
You made a recipe, I don’t remember which but you left your mushrooms whole. I tried it and omg the mushrooms were so much more flavorful. Now I leave them whole all the time!
Thank you for taking me to the UP. Born and raised in Detroit after 52 years never ventured to any of the beautiful sites you've taken me to, so thank you! I'm 66 and been in TX 10 years. Never followed anyone on you tube but you've taken me to places ill never get to and they have been stunning. So from a fellow introvert, thank you! You're a very special soul, continue to trust in God and you'll never be alone!
If you go over to presque isle you can see the ore being loaded onto the ships. I wish i knew you were going up there. I could have told you so much. They set 4th of July fireworks off near that ore dock you stopped at
Hope you’re feeling better . The UP is beautiful! I visited as a child with my parents. I’d love to go back someday. Thanks for taking the gam along! Oh 🍚 🍚 🍚
I’ve heard some pretty eerie things about Mackinac Island like the history and the spirits. I really want to visit to experience the cultural heritage there. Enjoy and safe travels
Noticed that you like eggplant, but cook it "raw". Look up "Sweating eggplant"...it takes a little time but I think you will like the results. It will take less time to cook and absorbs almost none of the oil. Love the scenic tour and couldn't help to hear strains of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"!
Living in a van, you might want to head to warmer climate for the winter. Alabama,florida and other Southern stTes have decent temps for winter.. keep warm and safe.
So glad you are taking it all in!! Nice to enjoy the trip as much as the destination. As i have aged..this means so much more to me tgen just getting there❤🙏 on your journey
Yes Upper Peninsula is beautiful country. Stayed in Upper Peninsula when I was younger. Father stationed at the military base near Gwinn and Marquette Mich. Love the 4 seasons and the Fall is beautiful.
I was born in Michigan. My grandfather filmed our trip to Mackinac Island in 1965 when I was a newborn baby. The footage you took going over the bridge looks the exact same as our home movies!
Thanks for sharing the beauty of our home state's UP! I haven't been Up North in a long time. I went camping with some friends up in Sleeping Near Dunes about 16 years ago, and my daughter and I took a road trip and spent the day in Traverse City back in 2018. We had such a great time and the waterfalls are beautiful! I also love learning about interesting historical facts and relics and then actually seeing them up close and personal while imagining what life was like when they were operational. You can't beat stir-fried veggies in olive oil and that coconut rice is bomb! I can't wait to purchase some more. 😋 Get some rest and feel better soon!❤😊
Nomi! The UP is so beautiful...just don't get stuck in bad weather*** Best to make sure the coast is clear first* Summertime is the best! Try the islands!!!!
I just started watching your channel. You are such a calm, peaceful person who is enjoying the life God gave you. I love when we get to eat along with you. ❤
I just wanted to say thank you, I found your channel about 2 and half weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I was having very bad insomnia and panic attacks at night. My anxiety was through the roof.

When I saw the UP of Michigan in your video I never clicked so fast!! Born and raised here!!
@@Nomadicintroverti absolutely loved it. I’m so happy you stopped at the jerky outlet. We love the jerky there. It’s such a cute store.
@@Nomadicintrovertyou crossing over the bridge for the first time made me so happy also!!
@@NomadicintrovertI also wish i knew you were coming. We go to the pier in Marquette almost daily!!
@@Nomadicintrovertseeing you in my stomping grounds made me so happy. Sorry I just love that you came up here and I commented a bunch when I was finally able to finish this video. So much love to you!!
Now THIS is where you should find a small permanent 'home base' to come back to when you need a break from traveling. Its heavenly...love the serenity, cleanliness and lack of hoardes of people!
Oh absolutely! I tried to get my ex to consider an island, back in the day when the prices were amazing but…😅
Absolutely. It would be perfect for her tiny home idea.
there are NO people there. My best friend is from Ontonagon (she's a yooper). This part of the state is majestic and beautiful. I am now jealous of my best friend Cheryl. She grew up in the UP. I am from Maryland, I have beaches on the Atlantic, but these views are breathtaking.
Check out Idlewild Michigan. The first Black Resort in Michigan. It’s being renovated.
@@seeval3871 love that area!
You inspire me to want to go and explore The US solo. I really enjoy your videos! You do an amazing job editing too😊
Nomi, you should look up the song The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. It’s a song about a true shipwreck in a storm in 1975. It is eerie and beautiful and heart wrenching.

Classic tune 👏🏻👏🏻
Hi there, if you’re still in the UP and you’re on Highway 41 going north, up past marquette, keep going north.
If have the time….
Take it to the end, which is Copper Harbor!
There is some beautiful scenery up there that you will be happy to see.
It’s gorgeous up there!
Yes!
Everything in its place. Bcuz everything has a place. You use things and immediately put them right back. It keeps you organize. I like that.
Good morning, I'm praying for healing in Jesus name Amen
So glad you went to Mackinaw. The UP is beautiful and inhabited by the Rich and Famous, however discreet ☺️
Michigan and Ohio feuded over which state should have Toledo. The powers that be gave Toledo to Ohio, and compensated Michigan by giving it the UP. Sweet deal for Michigan! Glad you're stopping to smell the roses. ❤️
I'm confused here. Who gave the UP to Michigan? How could Ohio get the UO? It's above MI. I don't understand. I've lived here my whole life n heard such a thing, lol

Feom cali myself and always wondered how I'd adjust to the changing seasons and cold. Anways your last sentence was great, it's totally true
@@Leftiesarelosingit also from CA, been in MI since 97...I'll never get used to the weather/winters here...I tolerate/endure them lol
@@drewwallboy3774 haha well good on you 👏 going from dangnnear perfect weather to that has to be rough. Idk if I could tolerate haha
@@Leftiesarelosingitit’s no big deal but I’m biased..im from the Midwest. Can survive in all climates lol
@girlanonymous lol you're tougher than me, that's fs. If it's above 85 or below 57 I ain't having a good time lol
Ahhh "Say Yah to the UP eh!! Those pasties are my fav.! Lived up in Marquette for 7 yrs with Lake Superior at my back door.
Fellow Michigander here...love Marquette, but Copper Harbor and Drummond Island are must see!
Glad you went to the UP it’s beautiful over there. my husband and I our favorite places to go all the times. In your future traveling try to visit Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls . You will love it, especially in the fall colors. Praying for you get better. God bless you 🙏

I was going to say that the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald is there. Gordon Lightfoot sang it well. 👍😁
Get well soon. My late husband was stationed at Ki sawyer Afb. Marquette is the town close b ki. He was stationed 9 yrs at ki. Very beautiful please b safe.
The Upper Peninsula is beautiful. A completely different way of life up there. Enjoy!
Don’t feel bad there are people from New York State that have never been to upstate New York. Upstate New York is equally as beautiful because of the lakes. You are now the official Michigan state ambassador.
Yep..I feel that way about my state IL. I know people who have never left Chicago…we have so many state parks and lakes and fishing and places to do vacation…throughout Illinois.
You should go through Duluth and up the North Shore of Lake Superior= it's beautiful and so much to see!
I am from Illinois and was just there Thursday Sept 14 just a few days ago. We loved it, we went all the way to Whitefish Point and went to the Great Lake Shipwreck Museum, it was amazing.

Thank you for this video. I haven't been over the Mackinac Bridge since I was 8 years old. I'm 60 years old now.
Hope you feel 💯 percent better soon Nomi!!! Blessings 🙏🏽
Yes!!!!!!!!! I know my girl is from the Midwest. She said cold pop! 🥤😁
Good Morning, Sweet lady. Hope your weekend is great. May you always have the good blessing needed we all can try to have. God loves you.
Thank you for sharing the UP. When you mentioned the lone sailboat and wonder where it was going… I do the same thing. Hope you feel better soon. Be safe and enjoy.
Nomi has the most positive, loyal, and supportive followers on UA-cam. 💫
Very good place to go! I'm from Houghton County originally.
You find the beautiful views which are peaceful. Enjoy your travels and be well

Whenever I see anything related to the iron and steel industry in the Great Lakes, I think of the Edmund Fitzgerald and that song.
I loveee your beach videos and love how you’re trying to incorporate more beach scenes in your videos ❤❤
Yet another great video. Thank you! Norm from Canada
I can't imagine the train going over the water like that.. Very COOL
Praying for a speedy recovery ,strong my sister💕
Now that looks yum-yum!! I have lots of days as I get older where I eat just stir-fry veggies with rice or noodles.
Happy Saturday Nomi!! Thanks for taking us along with u on these amazing adventures, continue to stay safe.

I'm in Ohio... never knew Michigan had such a clear lake... or that you could see Northern Lights from there
Oh yea, there are many clear lakes. Northern Lights, you can see often in the U.P.
@@karendjohn8803 Good to know! Will make a trip.. maybe next summer. Thanx
Many clear lakes in northern part too. Never been, but Crystal lake is suppose to be one of the best lakes to see.
Thank you for taking me places I have never been to. Beautiful part of our country!
Thankful the video so peaceful and calm
Feel better! Take it easy and rest. Your subscribers understand. Continued blessings🙏
Two hearted is spectacular❤
Check out Fayetteville awesome old ghost town and there is a campground as well enjoy the serenity

She was in Michigan last winter and did well …she’s from there, us Midwesterners are not afraid of cold weather lol.
So glad you are taking it all in!! Nice to enjoy the trip as much as the destination. As i have aged..this means so much more to me tgen just getting there❤🙏 on your journey
Omg please harvest some of that echinacea the purple flowers with the leaves pointing downward!!
My parents are there now. At
Pictured Rocks today. They love it!!!! Perfect weather they say.
Your meals look yummy, thanks for giving us the first bite😋
I'm sick as well and it sucks. I get into my feelings as well.
Yes Upper Peninsula is beautiful country. Stayed in Upper Peninsula when I was younger. Father stationed at the military base near Gwinn and Marquette Mich. Love the 4 seasons and the Fall is beautiful.
So beautiful up there we go to round lake In Curtis $20 a nite great showers and lovely views
I love you, girl. Feel better and thank you for sharing the U.P. with us. I was born and raised in Michigan and really miss it. Enjoy!❤
Relax and Feel Better
Your a inspiration that exploring can be fun even if your alone love you ❤
❤ Good Day Niomi! Weather is Beautiful for Travel, Hiking and doing things Outside!👍🤞👌✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸🌻✝️💜
Love this video and feel better soon❤ Nomi maybe consider having labs drawn at urgent care and report your symptoms before your new adventure ♥️🙏🏼
That looks just like going up north in Ontario! Except for the bridge over the water
You're living the life, dear. This is pure narvana. ❤ I'll be on the road soon.
I really enjoy your channel !!! Keep it coming!!!!
That vegetable stir fry looks so good, enjoy!
I love all the beach 🏝️ scenery. It’s just the best. The ocean waves 🌊, the sand, the clear water. I hope to retire close to a beach.
That’s not an ocean, that’s Lake Michigan!✌🏼
@@DjD5 I understand. I meant ocean/lakes/rivers/any large bodies of water.
They are considered inland seas, and Lake Superior can generate its own volatile weather patterns.
I was born in Michigan. My grandfather filmed our trip to Mackinac Island in 1965 when I was a newborn baby. The footage you took going over the bridge looks the exact same as our home movies!
Prayers for continued traveling Grace on you journey & Supernatural Healing throughout your body 🙏🙏🙏
Hope ur back to feeling like your normal self. Thank you as always for taking us with you
Beautiful lake
I hope you feel better.. Beautiful lake. ❤❤
Good idea.. feels tranquil looking on from were I'm at xx
