  • While the world is in disarray and I look on from afar, like everyone else, I've been at home looking back, trying to look forward. I recognise the privilege I have to even have room to reflect on how far I’ve come - so hello, welcome to my glorified home video that I hope you enjoy and maybe get something from. Also happy 27 years to me ha.

      Yeah, I mastered a number of things to my personal satisfaction on my obscure RUclips journey but this sort of narrative from collected footage or a framed narrative was something I never got to.
      Still bugs me 🤔😁

    "While the world is in disarray and I look on from afar, like everyone else, I've been at home looking back, trying to look forward." This is so strong and relatable.

      This is not just a compliment...it is the truth. She is not only mechanically good at her craft, she also pulls from her human experiences and uses the entire world as her story board. It's a gift not just to her, but to all who are fortunate enough to experience her creativity.

    I'm so hungover and have zero energy to do anything therefore I've spent the past few hours refreshing my RUclips home page desperately hoping to land on a great piece of content that would hopefully make me feel better and dare I say maybe even make me feel inspired! Ladies, gents and everyone in between, I have finally done just that ✨

    @bushyman477 3 года назад +4

    When it comes down to it, leaving home and experiencing all these new things just allows us a new perspective into what we took for granted - sometimes it's just what you need to break apart and stay away, sometimes it helps you appreciate what you had even more, enough to come back with a fresh mind.

  • @mtbnboy

    Just learned a new word. Aotearoa. What the native Maori called their island, New Zealand. Great video. Come back and visit us. California.

    • @arohap6041
      @arohap6041 3 года назад +2

      Yeah that’s what us Māori and also some Kiwis call our home country. Which in English translates into ‘Land of the long white cloud’. Our people are very spiritual, like most other natives around the world.

    Only those who wander know the true meaning of home.
    It's not always a place, it's not always the people, it's not always the same, but the feeling you get when you are there, or when you know you are finally going home, is unlike any other.
    I hope you get a chance to wander far and wide again (and I hope I do too ;-) ) so that you can once again experience the feeling of going home.
    One of my favourite songs is by Dire Straits, called Going Home. It was played on the aircraft as we boarded - 2 days after my release from hospital - the memory of it can still make me cry. I arrived in the middle of winter wearing just a t-shirt. I didn't feel the cold or the wind or the rain. All I felt was the joy of finally being home.
    I'm glad you're back here, safe and sound, and telling your stories. I look forward to some more of your adventures ;-)

    Fifty years ago in NYC I the best man at the wedding of Jim & Vi Turnbull from Wellington. There were working and traveling their way around the world. This wanderlust is a glorious Kiwi affliction. NZ is the most glorious place in the world. Make your home base there and travel too. Your openness is why you meet such great people everywhere and keep talking about it and what you are feeling and how you are growing. Many happy returns...... Michel Pariseau Haddam Neck CT

    1. How the hell so you have such incredible footage of everyone?!? That’s so impressive considering how long ago this was!
    2. As a girl who did your journey (NZ-NYC) but in reverse from small town PA to NZ alone, girl I relate to your journeys. Sad I missed meeting you on the PCT, looks like I’ll be a few years from now until I start that journey (which I call my great goodbye to the US)!

    I always enjoy your productions and your perspectives. Well done! I visited New Zealand two years ago and fell in love with your country while poking around in a campervan. You have something really special there. I'm also glad you liked your time in my own home town of Denver! Keep going on your adventures and telling your stories. You have a real talent.
