I appreciate that you cook real food. As a plant based person, so many of the outdoor videos show people living on beef jerky and cheese sticks. Thanks for showing a set up with an actual kitchen.
Beautiful! I love my lazy days in the van, sometimes there's a pang of guilt that I'm not achieving anything, or going anywhere - but then I just enjoy the little details of the mundane. Thanks for reminding us to relax a little 😁💙
I really enjoyed this mellow vlog, not over edited with old school art! You seem more content to live in the now than other van lifers I watch and I much prefer your style!
Another great video, Maddie. The food you make always looks so delicious and healthy. That stir fry with the peanut sauce made my mouth water, I'm not even kidding. And your artwork is beautiful! I'm so glad you really seem to have embraced this lifestyle, and have found happiness!
That was a lovely day! I’m impressed with Eliza as she didn’t chase or harass the cows. I’m pretty sure my dog would have done both. I’m glad you have turned the corner and van life looks different to you now.
I was nervous the first time I saw Eliza around cows! I was pleasantly surprised to see how respectful she is towards them :) Thank you for the comment!
I first started watching your videos around the time you met up with Anna and the other girls (maybe a little before that). I didn't care much for your videos, early on, but stuck with it. As time has gone on, you appear to be more comfortable and relaxed as you do this. I enjoy watching your video journals now.
@@Maddie.taylor I'm an older person, and have some experience with having to become comfortable. I predict you will do just fine, and I wish you great luck with this endeavor.
It's great to see your outakes and mishaps, I was brought up as a child on weekends away in our campervan and caravans, so I know it's not always glamorous but what fun and laughs our family had on those weekends away, enjoy the lifestyle that your living and take care.
I love this video so much! I've watched so many video of yours and others but the videos I love the most are the ones that actually show more of the "living" side of van life, I love seeing people cook, wash, walk around nature and just hanging out in the van.meaning more than just driving and talking :-)
Fantastic video, great food, glad to see you are able to make some temp mods for better seating options. And the opportunity to do all this in a wonderful location . Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
It’s the small things in this small space that make the world’s of difference! Omg those noodles looked so good 🤤 and love love love you’re getting back into your artistry, plus with a new digital edge. Amazing how quickly you’re taking to it!
I just want to say wow. this is some great editing.Being around you is like being on a happy little vacation. Congratulations on such an amazing achievement, Good job...
Haven’t watched enough of your videos to know for sure, but… everything about this one seems to be an advancement for you. They are all good, you’re really… real , but the content, production and your vibe just really came together in this one! Circumstances in my life might put me in a van someday and… I am sure going to make that dinnner soon! Thank you for all your good feelings and inspiration you are sharing.
It looks like you are really enjoying life! I love your drawings they are great! Thank you for putting out your videos. Your video from when you took pottery classes inspired me to finally sign up for a classes myself!
Thanks for sharing your day with us - looks like a great little spot to be in. Loved seeing your illustrations, particularly the cacti! Also loved hearing you talk about how much you’re loving being on the road now - sounds like you’re really finding your groove with it. :)
Love it, just love it. You face exudes happiness and it’s so easy to see why. The beautiful wide open spaces and the earthy tones of the natural world. I smiled just watching it. You are living a dream Maddie Taylor and I’m so damn jealous. Thank you for your videos. I just have to laugh at you sometimes though!
What a wonderful, simple life, I can only dream of doing this but you're living it. I'm learning stuff just watching. Maybe someday when I am so tired of the 9-5 life, I will have the courage to just get a van and do it!
Thank you for sharing your van life. While I’m not going to pursue van life, many of your insights are very applicable to the usual house life. I appreciate hearing your perspective. And also seeing the gorgeous scenery. 😊😍
I'm not sure! At this point if I keep up posting recipes via video, I wouldn't be surprised if I make a cookbook some day! XD I'm glad you're enjoying some of the recipes :)
Used to call that " White Line Fever" I've got it though I now stay put for long periods! I went over that pass you talked about starting near Flagstaff, the sign said not trucks over 35 feet, but there was no room to turn around! made it at night, loaded for Sadona!
I'm impressed you take your sink showers every week. I've become a bit of a dirtbag doing vanlife, using lots of dry shampoo and having a shower whenever I can use it somewhere (gym, friends, fam, camp site)
Another awesome video! And it's great to see you doing so well! Thanks for the recipes as you were cooking! That looked fantastic! I've never heard of those kind of noodles, but I'm definitely looking them up... and peanut sauce? Girl, you spoke right to my heart! lol Peanut butter is my favorite food on earth! haha
That's called living life. Spending time doing what you love being free and not answerable to any bosses that want to extract your labor and in long commutes. Some of this life in unglamorous but it sort of comes with the territory. It's great that you fixed your sliding door because it's always good to increase your quality of life and convenience. Do you really think that table is strong enough to serve as part of a bed? Your artwork is celebration of what you encounter in nature and a celebration of your own personal development. Your cooking skills look to be improving too. 7:07 Hiw about the striations of color in that landscape? And I just love how you always stop to explore the flora.you're certainly in one of the worlds most beautiful places. 9:01. Just a rough sketch and already I'm in love with it. 12:42. that yakisoba with peanut sauce looks delectable, a sort of Japanese-Vietnamese fusion.
Just found your channel. I enjoyed this video reminds me of how much we loved that area last year. Look’s like you are plant based as well. Us too. Can’t wait to see more of your adventures! ~Kara
Sedona is a great place to visit, I'm from the East Coast and I moved to Willams AZ ( next to the south rim ) for a few years in a tiny camper, that was a great adventure!
Maddie, have you ever thought of turning your artwork into journals? I believe there's a way to do that online. Loved your "state flower cactus". It seems like a natural fit to pedal an artwork journal (especially with state flowers; local flora and fauna) not only online but also I think it would be a sure sell at local boutiques; bookstores, even galleries. Once you've created it and show retailers where to order/re-order online, you'll have a permanent residual income. It seems you are passionate about it, and I think you create lovely artwork. Just an idea!
Hey Leanne! I definitely have some ideas in mind for sharing my art in the future... but at this point we'll just have to see how things play out! Thank you so much for the support and the AWESOME idea. :)
Hello again! I loved this video and the crackling fire. There hasn’t been a fire yet where the smoke didn’t envelop me to the point I had to move. Have you noticed that or is it just me? This leads me to believe there is some kind smoke to human attraction that draws the smoke towards the eyes and nose. LOL, what’s up with that anyway? Your dinner looked so yummy. The cows didn’t look happy with your dog in their sites. Inherent protective instincts remain strong it seems. It was so nice someone left the wood to pay it forward for the next happy camper. Here’s to van life with you dog…
Have you tried the hair no-poo method? It might make your hair routine easier and less water. I’ve not used shampoo for years. Google a bit to see the adjustment time from shampoo and learn the basics. For me it was a week or two but I’m a guy with short hair. My fiancée took a bit longer and she does occasionally use shampoo.
So jealous. I've been in retail for more than anyone should. Currently Saving for a camper trailer or camper van. You're living my dream. Love the peaceful videos. Keep it up
Saguaro! I am sorry the way you pronounced it was so adorable. Thank you for taking us on a slow day it was nice and that cow framing shot through your back door was funny.
I love this video so much!!! I’ve never been out west or in a desert, it looks so dreamy 🌅🌵 I also love how you edit your videos!!! Such a pretty van! 💓
hahaha loved the cow scene so funny and great keep going, Roger from sweden Maddie. camper is the best friend you ever will have have paintece whit him you are great and have skills sorry my english be safe Roger.🌹
I just love the way you do van life! I feel you are more of a home body (like me)👍I also like how you talk to nature: “Oh! Hi cow.”😂 I Love your channel.
You made me want to be right there with you! Such an amazing place. Can't wait to see it for myself this spring. I smiled back at you at 8:00. Love your videos, girl.
Your art is beautiful!! 😊 I definitely néed a shower in our future van tho, I don’t see myself washing up in the sink like … ever.. 😂😂 I am already a minimalist (accept for my makeup and skincare 🤭🤫), so having to downsize doesn’t really scare me, but I really don’t want to give up my ability to shower and have like a ‘bathroom’ area … Haha! You look so happy and at peace! 🙌🏻 Safe travels! Xo
It's funny, having a shower was an absolute essential in my original plans, but I wasn't able to fit it in my tiny van with all of the other things I wanted to incorporate. I've been surprised at how quickly I've adapted to be honest! Good luck with your future van :)
I think you're missing an opportunity to put out a book (digital) on which plants you can eat at all of the locations that you stay at, kind of a how to emerse yourself in nature.
I appreciate that you cook real food. As a plant based person, so many of the outdoor videos show people living on beef jerky and cheese sticks. Thanks for showing a set up with an actual kitchen.
Beautiful! I love my lazy days in the van, sometimes there's a pang of guilt that I'm not achieving anything, or going anywhere - but then I just enjoy the little details of the mundane. Thanks for reminding us to relax a little 😁💙
I resonate with this SO much. Thank you for putting the right words to the feeling. Take care.
“Kinda make the bed but don’t try that hard.”
I think I already do that method daily Maddie! 🤣
Great idea with the u shaped sofa. The table sliding outside gives a cool little side table😀.
Thank you for showing us the realities of showering and washing your hair.
I really enjoyed this mellow vlog, not over edited with old school art! You seem more content to live in the now than other van lifers I watch and I much prefer your style!

It has been fun watching your progress. You have adapted well to the nomad life.

Lol well thanks for sticking it out! I was a little uncomfortable filming back then. I hope that I just keep on progressing over time!
@@Maddie.taylor I'm an older person, and have some experience with having to become comfortable. I predict you will do just fine, and I wish you great luck with this endeavor.
Looks like a beautiful spot. Thanks for sharing an ordinary and amazing day in the life.
Safe travels!

“Simple, slow, and intentional.” This may be my favorite video of yours yet, Maddie. Lovely.
I think is my fav vid of yours. Simple, slow and relaxing. I start fulltime in a couple of weeks. I’m nervous I’ll get bored
Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it :) good luck getting after it!
Maddie you made me smile when you started drawing and painting and listening to Hail Mary, I am at my desk and listen to YOU as I draw and paint :)
Fantastic video, great food, glad to see you are able to make some temp mods for better seating options. And the opportunity to do all this in a wonderful location . Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
Your videos help me get through the day..weeks ..and months. You have become a big part of my life and I want to thank you for that 🙂🤗💜

i wasn't really sure about going van life at first but when i saw your video and the beautifull landscape. i was like wow welp im decided :)
I love your channel. So authentic. I’ve made several of your recipes. Yum! Will there be a cookbook? Thx for sharing.
I'm not sure! At this point if I keep up posting recipes via video, I wouldn't be surprised if I make a cookbook some day! XD I'm glad you're enjoying some of the recipes :)
Maddie you are an amazing young Lady. Thank You for sharing your adventures. I really enjoy your videos
such a beautiful, peaceful video Maddie! I love camping in that area, this video was so nostalgic from when I was last there 💓 safe travels
Oooo. I like that new back of bed arrangement.
Used to call that " White Line Fever" I've got it though I now stay put for long periods! I went over that pass you talked about starting near Flagstaff, the sign said not trucks over 35 feet, but there was no room to turn around! made it at night, loaded for Sadona!
Glad you made it safe!
Big big like 👍 👌. It is really amazing 👏 to see you enjoying your nomad lifestyle. Living life ✨️ ✨️ ✨️ on your term is a blessing 🙌.
I'm impressed you take your sink showers every week. I've become a bit of a dirtbag doing vanlife, using lots of dry shampoo and having a shower whenever I can use it somewhere (gym, friends, fam, camp site)
Hey Ingrid! I'm a bit lazy at seeking out showers and find the sink works fine for me... so it's a bit of a trade off XD
Yay, a recipe to try!
So pleased you found your peace in the van life ... its not easy, but worth it.
Cheers from down under
💚💚💚 beautiful scenery and beautiful artwork.
Another awesome video! And it's great to see you doing so well! Thanks for the recipes as you were cooking! That looked fantastic! I've never heard of those kind of noodles, but I'm definitely looking them up... and peanut sauce? Girl, you spoke right to my heart! lol Peanut butter is my favorite food on earth! haha
Your food looks amazing and yes I went back and copied the recipe for the peanut sauce.❤️
This is nice to see. Just to stop and be still. Enjoying the ritual of the day. personally those are the times I feel most alive.
Nicely done .
I so enjoy your content Maddie!
Happy trails, another refreshing video:)
Thank you for showing us the roads less travelled. Being at peace with zero people noise would be my vibe As well.
Looks like a nice relaxing day!

I’m glad you’re feeling like the road is home now. Sedona looks beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Another great video, Maddie.take care
I wash my hair in the sink. No bid deal. Good to be out with your dog enjoying life on your own terms.
Those noodles looked amazing!! wow, I see a van life bojo gourmet e-cookbook!
Love being right there with ya Maddie
& yes we can see you in the dark 🥰
That dish looks delicious. Would like to see more of Liza too please. I'm a huge dog lover.
I’ll try to include more of her! :)
Heck yes! Let’s have a day (week) in the life of Eliza video someday!
Side note, cow paddies are great fire starters. The dry ones that is.
Lol THAT COW WHEN YOU OPENED THE BACK DOOR! 😆😆
Also, I always find myself looking in the back ground for Eliza to make sure he is safely near by…☺️
Just found your channel. I enjoyed this video reminds me of how much we loved that area last year. Look’s like you are plant based as well. Us too. Can’t wait to see more of your adventures! ~Kara
Eliza is such a sweetheart 🥰. We are about to head to Sedona, as soon as hubby wakes up
True, the backdoor really was the highlight for me though.
New you were in Az. I live in Benson. Just visited Sedona last month. Loved it. Envy you. I'm 75.
Beautiful as always! And the views were pretty good too. You can’t beat the views of Sedona.
Sedona is a great place to visit, I'm from the East Coast and I moved to Willams AZ ( next to the south rim ) for a few years in a tiny camper, that was a great adventure!

love your vids!! been binging them lately 😂

"I feel so damn lucky!" I know what you mean. Sometimes alone times are the sweetest times. Like, "What did I do to deserve this?
Saguaro! I am sorry the way you pronounced it was so adorable. Thank you for taking us on a slow day it was nice and that cow framing shot through your back door was funny.
This is beautiful especially that front and center cow
We just found your channel and look forward to seeing where your journey takes you (us) 👍
Love this video in particular - your attitude is fantastic- hi cow 😍 u look marvellous and enjoying van life - love your art too 😍😍
As someone who’s not a full time vegan (I really dislike tofu and the fake meats), your dishes look more appetizing than most!
I love your van, maybe one day I'll be able to get something like that and be able to travel
I love this video so much!!! I’ve never been out west or in a desert, it looks so dreamy 🌅🌵 I also love how you edit your videos!!! Such a pretty van! 💓

WELCOME!
You made me want to be right there with you! Such an amazing place. Can't wait to see it for myself this spring. I smiled back at you at 8:00. Love your videos, girl.
Thank you for being here! :')
Beautiful. Do worry about snakes as you walk around in the fields?
I'M HAPPY 💓💓 Thanks ❣
I'll bet there's millions of people out there who would love to be where you are right now, including myself. 🌹
Your art is beautiful!! 😊

You're welcome. Thank you for sharing.
I found u yesterday n instantly fall in love with you. Beautiful van beautiful artwork
Really like music at end and enjoyed a realistic look at a normal day. Keep it real.
I think you're missing an opportunity to put out a book (digital) on which plants you can eat at all of the locations that you stay at, kind of a how to emerse yourself in nature.
Which journal are you using? I love the floral decor on the pages!
Beautiful scenerie
I'm always interested in food preparations and what it is and enjoying eating out on the open road.... FOOD 😊
I know we only got a glimpse of that journal. But it’s so pretty!!! Where is it from?
