Please watch the very end for the channel name change explanation! I can't believe I didn't realize that when I was filming this :D Here's to a beautiful and exciting new start and I'm happy you are here with me! :)
Congratulations on ur realization of how YT 'views' actually work and what it takes to obtain those 'views'!! The hiking videos drew me to ur channel. I stayed because ur personality & adventurous spirit drew me in....and the dogs! I look forward to continuing to follow ur adventures!!
So happy for you!! I hit a point about a year ago where I started to hate making videos, I only recently started again and I’m just doing what I want to film more so as just trying to create like a video album for me when I get old to look back on. I look forward to watching your new videos ☺️
I like your art, and the pace of your channel. I like that you're not running around dialed to 11 and yelling into the camera just to get attention. I liked your hiking videos with Luna, then your dog sled videos and I liked the vlogging videos. I also think it's funny when you drop the f bomb lol. Your channel is more real life then a lot of stuff out there. It's cool.
I always thought the Destination was the goal, but I’ve learned that the journey to that place, the people I’ve met, the stories that are told on the way, seem to be more important to me. Here’s to you reinventing yourself again!
Thank you for being you. I have enjoyed watching your videos and following you on Instagram for a while. You are delightful and I am happy you are allowing me to be there with you :)
My dearest Maiu, I'll stick with you, no matter what name your channel has :-) I just love watching your content and your channel brought me so much joy already with the different topics you have to offer! You are a great influencer - hahaha - a week ago I even just booked a flight to Tallinn (going to travel from Tallinn to Vilnius in May - yay!) and you also made me become interested in watercoloring. Lots of love from Germany, JuliMond P.S.: And now I am buying you a coffee or two :-)
I am glad that you are going in this direction. I’ve been following you from the beginning as hiker in Estonia and you looked so much happier when you were doing videos for yourself
Usually, I stop watching channels when they change over to van life (even though I have a self fitted out van and part time stealth camp in it). But I've been following you for so long and love your manner, way of presenting and smile that I have to stay. I missed seeing you so much when you went to become a musher and am so glad you are back!
I originally started watching your channel not for the hiking, I have little to no interest in hiking, but because of my interest in seeing and learning about Estonia because I have friends there. And I have continued watching even though you are no longer showing Estonia, because I enjoy you, your personality, in whatever you do.
I can relate to your comment - except I found Maiu because I'm a first generation American with an Estonian parent and I like to learn about all things Estonia. And I just enjoy watching her videos about life! 🙂
I was so happy to see your channel pop up, Maiu. I was definitely missing your regular posts. And, I’m so looking forward to see what you will be doing in the future. It sounds exciting. 💕🤗🇨🇦
This is so refreshing to see and good for you! I’ve been struggling with the same problems- how to support the travel lifestyle I want, should I try to make a living with RUclips or not, wanting to enjoy film making instead of focusing on views, etc.- so it’s nice to see a creator with many more subscribers making this choice. Can’t wait to see your new videos!
I think what I have found during all those years on RUclips is that when you start to force it, it will never happen or work out. So I'd say keep making if that makes you happy but never start relying on it just because of the money. It's an instant creativity and joy kill :/
"Living my life, not working to live!" - that is golden! Best wishes for success in your journey :) I've enjoyed following your video adventures, dogs & travel. I hope each day brings you joy.
Love this! It must have been a very liberating realisation. I started following for your hiking content (obviously) but I am looking forward to seeing what else you get up to!
I wish you well in your new chapter , always liked the paintings you did , the favorite was the lighthouse you did way back in the day , follow your dreams and heart 🙂
Wish You the best with your new direction of your channel Maiu, I have followed You since the early hiking days and I think that this looks alot more like it did those days and I really like that. Like the way you are thinking and what You wan't! We are still here 👌😁🙌
@@MaiuLunekund For sure, it looks like a great direction of the spiral. As a weekend warrior vanlifer i think it is really nice that You enjoy the life as You want it! I definitely want to see were your art is going! 👌🙌
The first videos I saw of yours were your sketching videos a few years ago, so I'm looking forward to painting content. I enjoy these 'every day life' videos.
I started watching your channel when I started hiking myself, now I watch it more like a catch up with an old friend, as a friend I don't expect anything spectacular, just you doing you. Be happy Maiu and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Your name is beautiful, so it is indeed a good name for a channel:) Cheers, loving your says, loving your ways and the views you expose , it is very refreshing, almost healing for soul! Thank you!
Ohhh Maiu, what a wonderful new chapter and perhaps this is in fact not just a new chapter but your life. I have always noted you as an honest and authentic human being. You talking about an aspect of life which touches me greatly, as I, myself, I feel like in the middle of it. Let's try living our hearts out and living our creativity. Love from Berlin. Sven :-)
Thank you for producing your videos Maiu. Always interesting and often thought-provoking..... I am in my mid-70s and walk across the hills a lot in my retirement, enjoying the peace and quiet, with only an eagle, deer, sheep etc offering any movement. Good luck with your continued video making. Regards, Alan.
Doing what you enjoy means you enjoy what you do 😀 I remember when you started your channel (I was a very early subscriber under my other account) - so I was looking up some of my old “friends” and it was nice to see this video! I’m looking forward to seeing your videos! I was glad I was able to find you using your oldest channel name: Hiker in Estonia.
I have always enjoyed your content, I don't believed I've ever missed a new upload. I also love your prints/art they look great in my home. ( I just went to your store, it says it is empty at this time.) I'll check back another day. Years ago you inspired me to hike again, Thank you for that. Awesome update.🌲👍
My shop is empty indeed at the moment, I haven't fully figured it out how to do it while on the road. But I have some little thing planned so stay tuned ;)
So happy to see your new video and for what you shared with us! I could see the joy and relief in your expression as you shared about it. I really enjoy your new style of videos and as you know, Maple and I enjoyed watching the doggies and you in Portugal over Vlogmas. 🙂 I'm not so sure sharing about art won't be so popular - you'll probably pick up a whole new group of viewers for that. I love watching you create your art and I'm sure others will too. Much joy to you!
mhhh.... i should take the time and write a comment on this video, since i watch your videos since your channel name was about hiking in estonia. I really like your channel because it is authentic and not about view-optimization. I like your travel. your travel through the various stages of your life. the difficulties and the solutions you produced. not only while hiking. so yes... what do I want to say you? You helped me a lot with all your ideas and struggles. because ... because you prevented some mistakes on my part about packing and hiking because you explained how to everything works, and toke some anxiety and fear away before my year of travel I tried to support you when your dream come true in new Zealand - but my stay did not overlaps with your stay, ever so slightly summary: you’re doing really good, and thank you for all the efforts you take; I will buy you a coffee :-)
I started watching because of the hiking as I love the outdoors, your, paintings are part of expressing the moods and feelings you get through being in nature and the outdoors. So I love the art content and look forward to more of the art as well as van life, hiking, living in the Arctic circle and so on 😊
I am looking forward to see you paint. I love those videos. But I also like seeing your dogs and the places you go an how you manage to travel and work together at the same time and I also like you to see enjoy very simple things. I think that is what I like the most about your videos. Have fun and I hope you can afford a new lens for your camera soon!
I've been a follower for a long time and will remain a follower for a long time. Good luck with your new direction Maiu! The Hiker in Estonia has come a long way!
Hiking, painting, mushing, surfing, travelling,... all of it compliments each other. I share your motivation to explore and try different things. Perhaps we become highly engaged with a specific interest for a few months or years, then move on to something new. Introspection and making adjustments is a normal and healthy thing to do. Happy to hear you're continuing to live life. Keep going and keep sharing! And you should definitely consider the occasional painting video. Maybe a Bob Ross style vid 🙂
I used to follow a guy that put out fishing videos. He had a regular job and made the videos in his spare time. He got a lot of subscribers and eventually quit his job and became a RUclipsr. What I noticed is after he started making videos for money, they changed. His videos were not as good. It became his job, it was work and came across that way. I liked him much better before he was a RUclipsr. I rarely watch his videos now. I am glad you will make videos that makes you happy and not what makes you the most money. You are and always will be one of my favorites. I love your videos. Hiking, your art, traveling . . . whatever. The reason I watch is because its you.
I lost track of you from when your channel was Hiker In Estonia & now that I have a cousin and his wife traveling your country, I wanted to look you up because I miss your videos (they were fun to watch). Glad to find you again & I'm going to subscribe here & from my personal YTC (Danokitemano)!
Great to see you back after your vlogmas mission, you look really well, i reckon the sea air is doing good for you. Hope you find what you're looking for and thanks for sharing your adventures with us 🤘
Kui põnev!!! Luua ilma piirideta ja tulemuse ja raha pärast muretsemata loob tõesti hea ja kerge õhkkonna, kus tegutseda! :) Edu sellel "uuel" teel! :)
Hello dear Maiu. I've been consistently watching your videos since you first started. Always of the highest quality and entertaining. So if you cannot make a living doing videos there definitely is no hope 4 myself .🤣 luckily my channel has always been a hobby 4 me as I do work full time. I Have even considered giving up this 2022 year. I sure do hope you continue doing what you love doing. Your audience loves you 👍
... Good Morning Maiu ,, Always time for a friendly watch to see how your life is going ... Been around from the beginning because of a shared interest in the hiking ,and the hiking with Luna , hope she's doing well .. The channel is your bio and created for your own reference file in the future and shared with the world ,, I imagine that in itself takes some getting used to ... Life takes many path's to follow and sometimes we have to take a path unknown just to test ourselves if we are on the right journey to fulfill our heart and soul ... .. It's been interesting and fun to watch you "do you" ,, following along on challenges that offer new or different life and dreams ... Because of the available format ,, I ( from mid USA) have been able to learn of other areas of the world and your personal lifestyles as well ,, not so different from our own ,,mostly .. A change of lifestyle to van life really suits you , as your adventurous spirit is calling for now ... being able to work from you site locations will be awesome ,, Nice to know we will continue to see how you are doing ,, especially now with the political tensions near you .. Follow your dream path's ,, share when you can ,,your art , your crafts , hikes and the sights and sounds that make Maiu happy and give us that beautiful smile from your adventures ... A change of channel name says a new life adventure and what better name than your own ... most of all ........Be Safe and God Bless .....
Great to see you back Maiu. Yeah the subscription costs add up, especially with Adobe. I don't know what you're using to edit your video with but I've been using the free version of Davinci Resolve. It's truly fantastic and I highly recommend it, I switched to it recently as I didn't want a monthly subscription. I hated having to learn new software but after a day or two I was able to get the hang of it. Got to cut costs where you can, maybe there's other free software you can use to lower your costs even further. Keep doing your own thing, it's more real like that.
I do also use Photoshop and Lightroom a lot so I would say I will (unfortunately not) part ways with Adobe... As much as this pains my wallet, they know what they are doing :D But thank you for the suggestion!
However you change your channel name, I remember good your beginning and you always stay "Hiker in Estonia" for me! ;-) You inspired me so much! Thank you!
Don't feel obliged to push out videos, take your time to find the right format and schedule. I watch lots of youtubers and they often tell about how little you make in the beginning vs how much work there really is, like editing being one of the most time consuming parts. I could never do youtube as a job being almost forced to put up videos regularly and also have some specific subject to a channel. That being said, i wouldn't mind seeing more hiking videos and nature.
open up a patreon as well. i'm sure we'll could shout you coffee every now and the. (ok, the coffeefund just came on, hahah) i subscribed because you were doing pleinair watercolors during hikes, because that's what i do too. to more success this year.
I am not planning opening Patreon up again because it does create this extra level of obligation to upload and stress for me. So maybe in the future, but not now. But I thank you for the support you gave to me! It truly means a lot :)
If I may only offer up 1, one, suggestion and that is only be concerned about being consistent with video releases as it relates to RUclips. Keep the creativity and openness you are after but be consistent with uploads. 1 per week? Every Thursday as example. But I reccomend 3 per week Monday Wednesday Friday.
Look forward to more videos, I would recomend not getting involved with Olite sponsorship, often they are bad quality lights and could damage your channel. Other outdoor gear sponsorship might help with funds.
Use Da Vinci resolve for your video editing, its professional and its free......There is a paid version which gives you more, but for your content the free one should suffice.
Please watch the very end for the channel name change explanation! I can't believe I didn't realize that when I was filming this :D Here's to a beautiful and exciting new start and I'm happy you are here with me! :)
We love you!
Hi Maiu,normal,you are the Best!excellent Chanel,i follow your precious councils in m'y travers.
Do what makes you happy! Cheers to new channel name 😁
Do what makes you happy, us followers are just happy to see the videos and wishing we were out there doing it instead of watching it.
Well, hopefully I will inspire some of you to take your things and go out as well! ;)
Look forward to sharing your thoughts and life in the future months and years!! You are certainly an adventurous and fearless soul!!👍👍👍👍
As a fellow water-colourist more art is a winner
My favorite style of videos are the “real life” moments you are planning on sharing. I look forward to you sharing them.
Congratulations on ur realization of how YT 'views' actually work and what it takes to obtain those 'views'!! The hiking videos drew me to ur channel. I stayed because ur personality & adventurous spirit drew me in....and the dogs! I look forward to continuing to follow ur adventures!!
Life is what you make of it. Build a good and wonder filled life and be happy. I look forward to your coming videos.
So happy for you!! I hit a point about a year ago where I started to hate making videos, I only recently started again and I’m just doing what I want to film more so as just trying to create like a video album for me when I get old to look back on. I look forward to watching your new videos ☺️
YES! This video album idea explains my thoughts perfectly as well! And I'm happy to hear you found your way out of that slump 👏
I like your art, and the pace of your channel. I like that you're not running around dialed to 11 and yelling into the camera just to get attention. I liked your hiking videos with Luna, then your dog sled videos and I liked the vlogging videos. I also think it's funny when you drop the f bomb lol. Your channel is more real life then a lot of stuff out there. It's cool.
Thank you for staying around this long and I'm happy to hear you like the style! :)
Way to go, Malu, I wish you the best of luck! Greetings from Göteborg 🙂
I always thought the Destination was the goal, but I’ve learned that the journey to that place, the people I’ve met, the stories that are told on the way, seem to be more important to me. Here’s to you reinventing yourself again!
Reinvention is my middle name by now :D But indeed, YES to all the small things along the journey, that is what makes life, right :)
Looking forward to what the future brings for you. I enjoy your videos. Good luck!🍀
Thank you for being you. I have enjoyed watching your videos and following you on Instagram for a while. You are delightful and I am happy you are allowing me to be there with you :)

Yay to the trip and triple YAY for the watercoloring interest! Thank you for the coffee ;)
Maui... You've always been my favorite RUclipsr! And I'm glad that you will do it your way! Good luck and "go take a hike" :)
I'm happy to hear you have had this moment. May all go even better for you than you could dream, Maiu!
I strongly agree, your channel should be about what you want, not what other people want from you.
Cheers to that.
I am glad that you are going in this direction. I’ve been following you from the beginning as hiker in Estonia and you looked so much happier when you were doing videos for yourself

Thank you Maggie! I'm so happy to have you on board! :)
Good luck honey! I watch your videos for YOU - whatever you do ❤ Thanks to you I want to try watercoloring so I am interested in the creative videos!

多謝！
Thank you :)
I love your art stuff and tiny home tours. You have some smart was of sitting and storing your things that I love looking at.
Ohhh Maiu, what a wonderful new chapter and perhaps this is in fact not just a new chapter but your life. I have always noted you as an honest and authentic human being. You talking about an aspect of life which touches me greatly, as I, myself, I feel like in the middle of it. Let's try living our hearts out and living our creativity. Love from Berlin. Sven :-)
There's no redo on life so indeed, let's just double down on what makes us happy 😊
Nice!
Awesome, love your content
Thank you for producing your videos Maiu. Always interesting and often thought-provoking..... I am in my mid-70s and walk across the hills a lot in my retirement, enjoying the peace and quiet, with only an eagle, deer, sheep etc offering any movement. Good luck with your continued video making. Regards, Alan.
Thank you! And happy hill hiking, that sounds absolutely wonderful 😊
Doing what you enjoy means you enjoy what you do 😀 I remember when you started your channel (I was a very early subscriber under my other account) - so I was looking up some of my old “friends” and it was nice to see this video!
I’m looking forward to seeing your videos!
I was glad I was able to find you using your oldest channel name: Hiker in Estonia.
Wooo! Excitements. Love the positivity and Vlogmas was such a feel good thing.

I have been watching your vids since you began. I will continue :) Good Luck
Congrats! I completely understand this, and it seems really healthy, and fun!
Peace and Happiness, Maiu, Odezza and Linka!
I so love your out look.
I remember one of the first videos you did (I saw) was one that you were explaining seting up tarp shelters.
Excellent, all sounds great, enjoy!
Hi Maiu the main thing is what makes you happy will still continue of follow stay safe
mhhh.... i should take the time and write a comment on this video, since i watch your videos since your channel name was about hiking in estonia.
I really like your channel because it is authentic and not about view-optimization. I like your travel. your travel through the various stages of your life. the difficulties and the solutions you produced. not only while hiking.
so yes... what do I want to say you? You helped me a lot with all your ideas and struggles. because ...
because you prevented some mistakes on my part about packing and hiking
because you explained how to everything works, and toke some anxiety and fear away before my year of travel
I tried to support you when your dream come true in new Zealand - but my stay did not overlaps with your stay, ever so slightly
summary: you’re doing really good, and thank you for all the efforts you take; I will buy you a coffee :-)
Thank you Dominic for the kind words and the support!

Very wise! lot's of thumbs up to you.
I've been a follower for a long time and will remain a follower for a long time. Good luck with your new direction Maiu! The Hiker in Estonia has come a long way!
Indeed! It's so funny to think back how I started, so much love to that young lady who took her first solo adventure steps all those years ago 🥰
Hiking, painting, mushing, surfing, travelling,... all of it compliments each other. I share your motivation to explore and try different things. Perhaps we become highly engaged with a specific interest for a few months or years, then move on to something new. Introspection and making adjustments is a normal and healthy thing to do. Happy to hear you're continuing to live life. Keep going and keep sharing!
And you should definitely consider the occasional painting video. Maybe a Bob Ross style vid 🙂
Cheers to changes! What would life be without that 😊 (I've never followed a Bib Ross tutorial, maybe that would be interesting to try... 🤔)
Best of luck with everything Maiu, you being happy and healthy is the most important thing for sure! :) Cheers and atb

I like your van ❤ Happy new year 👍

Everyone is perfect the way they are. If we only would have the smarts to notice it on ourselves... :)
@@MaiuLunekund Sometimes it takes someone else to tell you before you realize it.
Great to see you back Maiu. Yeah the subscription costs add up, especially with Adobe. I don't know what you're using to edit your video with but I've been using the free version of Davinci Resolve. It's truly fantastic and I highly recommend it, I switched to it recently as I didn't want a monthly subscription. I hated having to learn new software but after a day or two I was able to get the hang of it. Got to cut costs where you can, maybe there's other free software you can use to lower your costs even further. Keep doing your own thing, it's more real like that.
I do also use Photoshop and Lightroom a lot so I would say I will (unfortunately not) part ways with Adobe... As much as this pains my wallet, they know what they are doing :D But thank you for the suggestion!
However you change your channel name, I remember good your beginning and you always stay "Hiker in Estonia" for me! ;-) You inspired me so much! Thank you!
That name has a very special place in my heart as well 🥰
I still have one of your first prints! 😉
putting on 1 weekly vid helps.
Don't feel obliged to push out videos, take your time to find the right format and schedule. I watch lots of youtubers and they often tell about how little you make in the beginning vs how much work there really is, like editing being one of the most time consuming parts. I could never do youtube as a job being almost forced to put up videos regularly and also have some specific subject to a channel. That being said, i wouldn't mind seeing more hiking videos and nature.
open up a patreon as well. i'm sure we'll could shout you coffee every now and the. (ok, the coffeefund just came on, hahah)
i subscribed because you were doing pleinair watercolors during hikes, because that's what i do too.
to more success this year.
Maiu travels Europe and finds herself ;)
Well said :D
Sounds good! BTW Why not come back to Patreon? I used to support you there then..
I am not planning opening Patreon up again because it does create this extra level of obligation to upload and stress for me. So maybe in the future, but not now. But I thank you for the support you gave to me! It truly means a lot :)
Maiu has another epiphany. Okay, I guess. I suppose you're going to keep changing and learning new stuff all the time now…like everyone ever. 😏😉
What's life without change, right
If I may only offer up 1, one, suggestion and that is only be concerned about being consistent with video releases as it relates to RUclips. Keep the creativity and openness you are after but be consistent with uploads. 1 per week? Every Thursday as example. But I reccomend 3 per week Monday Wednesday Friday.
Did you even watch the video?
Look forward to more videos, I would recomend not getting involved with Olite sponsorship, often they are bad quality lights and could damage your channel. Other outdoor gear sponsorship might help with funds.
I like the way you think. Better to work for someone part time and keep the creativity of your videos entirely up to you, not what’s profitable.
A comment for the algorithm
😀😉💙
I hope, now, you feel like a fresh pickle =D

Okay, for some reason my comment got deleted. Just post what you want, when it stops being fun, then it’s okay to move on to something else.
Use Da Vinci resolve for your video editing, its professional and its free......There is a paid version which gives you more, but for your content the free one should suffice.
You are beautiful 😍
