    Enjoyed your talk. I am 50 years older than you, and spent my whole life like you describe. When people who stayed home and worked the same thing all their lives say that they wish they could do what I do. I just tell them anyone can do this you just have to be happy to sleep under trees and at times go hungry. It is fear and discomfort that holds people back. But, for me, my fear is of the opposite. I am afraid of having a boss I have to get up and obey everyday.

      Julie you are my S-HERO! I'm 50 years old and still get up daily, hit the clock and hate my boss. Sorry but he's an asshole! I want to walk away soooo bad. This is not for me anymore. Maybe when I was younger but definitely not now that I'm older. The stress is killing me...I admire you for being FREE!!

      @julie mignard Would you mind me asking if you have children? I feel like this life is amazing, I personally did it from 18-25. But now I've reached that age bracket where people are starting to look down on me for still being such a free spirit. I know that if I want children (which I do) then it's not always feasible to live this life. Children need security, routine, a stable income. So I'm always wondering how other free spirits manage this?

      @@sorchx Oh yes, I could not have done this with children, you are absolutely right. However, it can be done. It takes a very special couple to do it. There has to be a cooperation and trust between the parents that is absolutely solid. The children then get the security and stability they need from the fearlessness and commitment of their family unit. I personally know such a family with five children. They did this in the past, the parents have passed and the children are retirement age. I have watched a family on RUclips who seem to be doing well. I tried to find the link for you, but sorry, I failed. If you are so lucky as to find the right relationship, it is possible. Children for sure need security, but they don't really know what your income is. As long as you and your spouse are secure with each other and know how to feed the kids, you can. Oh yes, I almost forgot to say. You also need to not be bothered by what people think of you. The only thing that really matters is what you think of your spouse, and he you.

      Interesting responses, I read them all. Being held back by fear is one thing but there are different fears. Like...what if she fell down those rocks and broke a leg? Or a shady individual latches onto young? No one is there and you're far from your own vehicle, etc. I guess people conquer those fears or accept that the worst may very well happen? I dunno. But I don't think everyone has the instincts, resourcefulness, grit, whatever you want to call it, to live this way - although they may not admit it, lol.

By (17) I was gone for good and I would never trade having traveled all over the US, Canada, England, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.

    I met someone when I was (39) years old, and we have been happily married for (22) years. She taught me about happy families and now I have no desire to roam. But when you get to know yourself and discover the qualities you want in a mate, you have a strong foundation to love another fully and completely.

If you are still in the region, head down to Conway, then drive west on the Kancamagus Highway (112) and stop to hike Sabbaday Falls. Alternatively, head south to Lincoln, and head East on the Kanc - Sabbaday Falls is closer to Lincoln than it is Conway, but the Kanc is such a beautiful drive.

You were saying it,s not for everyone and people romanticise about doing it themselves because they only see the glamourous you tube parts and when you said that you didn,t believe them I think you were right because if someone really wants to do something they,ll find a way, if they really don,t want to do something they;ll find an excuse. I bet people say to you oh you,re so lucky. but its not luck you are making it happen so come on chin up.
    Also.i felt like it was you being honest and true to yourself, and courageous enough to share and it did seem like you were having a reality check on going through difficult times to be where you are today.

    You have done lots of interesting things. My life has been like that too. Now nearing 60 I look back at my life and it seems I have lived many different life’s. The egg donation is a blessing for people. That’s awesome. I just hate I’m disabled now. I actually couldn’t live your life. I go through 24/7 pain and I have to do injections and see doctor twice a month. I think my husband and I are going on a year round trip with our huskies. I just need to make sure I can see my doctors. And that’s not easy. Before I got sick I never sit down. I was very active so I have severe anxiety now that I can’t do so much. Live while you have the ability to get around. I got sick in my 40s. And by 47 I was totally disabled. It’s hereditary. I was just in denial. Once I got the diagnosis I have felt better about things. I’m getting treated and feel better. My days are still difficult. My husband is now home with me full time. He went back to school to learn a new job so he can be with me. This disease has changed the life of everyone close to me, and it is why I live youtube so much. I get to see places I can’t get to. Like the top of a mountain. Thank you Hannah. Be safe out there!

    Of all your videos I think that this one earns you the most respect, especially from me. Not many young people have your determination and unwillingness to compromise yourself. It is all too easy for the weak-willed youth of today to call themselves 'influencers' (i.e. parasites) and become self-parodies when an ounce of self-respect would teach them far better. Well done you for avoiding that easy route and being the amazing person you are. I wish you every success in your life and dreams!

    I watched your egg donation videos back in 2020 when I was deciding to become an egg donor, and it made me more interested. And I did my first egg donor cycle in August, and it paid off a lot of debt my husband and I had. Not only that, we forever changed the lives of a set of intended parents.
    Upon being told I was matched for egg donation earlier this year, I felt a pull to sign up for surrogacy. And now I’m about to help another set of IP’s through that.
    So I want to say, thank you for your videos. You’ve made me and many others realize that when you want something, and truly want it, you’ll do it! ❤

    I swear I'm not going to continue to bug you constantly, but even as you're walking down the rocks my instincts here or thinking, if you are an hour and a half away from your vehicle, no telling how far you are from the next human. And they fall, a broken leg, a sprained ankle. No clue if you have good cell phone reception where you're at there, or any at all. I have looked into the satellite telephones, the phone's are not extremely expensive, the cost for a minute to use them or like maybe three or four dollars a minute sometimes, perhaps even higher but there again you don't say that unless you must use it and that's only in an emergency situation. If you lose cell phone connection very awesome in your travel, a satellite telephone might be well worth investigating. :-)

    I have an idea for you, I just looked at your d pop account. You have amazing modeling talent!! Some of the clothing was hard to get a good look at tho due to wrinkles. I have no desire to iron, as I spent alot of my life as a nomad like you. But, you can remove wrinkles so easily. Febreze or some water with a touch of fabric softener in a bottle will take the wrinkles right out. Just spray, wipe away wrinkles, or tug them out by pulling gently at edges. Hope this helps your sales!

    Hannah, i have a bit of a sensitive question for you, woman to woman; first off this video is so transparent and helpful, im really inspired. Ive always been an independent and do/fix/ make it yourself person and had the dream to venture off on my own. But as a twenty-something young woman I have a fear about my safety and sexual wellbeing. I know it doesn’t always happen but it’s statistically significant to be targeted by predators or ill-intentended people as a young woman traveling alone. Would you be able to share any tips on how you keep your fears at bay, any safety things you have implemented or any bad experiences you may be willing to share to pass on the lesson learned? I know this is a sensitive matter, but I think it’s very important for those like me who seriously consider this lifestyle as a young woman. Thanks so much! Im really thankful to have found your page and I hope you are doing well :)

    Thanks for sharing this. Egg donations are not talked about, and I think it's because most people's mindset is that Every female MUST want to have/make babies. 😐 However, no one batts an eye at sperm donations. Another thing you can donate is blood and plasma if needles don't squick you out (I faint, lol!). I'm glad you figured out how to get what you want out of life - legally. Keep doing You. Stay safe and may Angels watch over you.

    • @kawaiiksmr8308
      @kawaiiksmr8308 4 года назад +7

      I think it's because women have a limited number of eggs whereas men have an unlimited amount of sperm they keep making more so their donation is kind of nothing...not saying I agree I'm gonna donate my eggs one day but I can't lie and say that there ARE women who do something to their bodies and then regret it later. But life is a risk I guess

    • @SoulDevoured
      @SoulDevoured 4 года назад +3

      @@kawaiiksmr8308 there's not much of a risk. Practices limit to 6 donations for each woman with 15 eggs harvested.
      A woman had thousands of eggs with only a few hundred being ovulated in her lifetime. The risk of over harvesting is early menopause but the limitations make that really unlikely. If you're max you might hit menopause one or two years earlier than you otherwise might.
      For the most part risk for women comes from messing with hormones in order to make that many eggs viable. I wouldn't do it cuz my hormonal cycle is already screwed.
      But I'm just saying you're not going to run out of potential babies in your prime baby making years.

My goal has always been make $ = travel. I, too, have worked the oddest of jobs even when the kids were young. Smelling peoples breath for a mouthwash study was one.. My kids are explorers; when they were teens we would look at one another and say - “we need a road trip!” and we would plan it. Today my husband of 40 plus years travel in our RV; last year the west won our hearts! Boondocking where ever, eating healthy, hiking. We now have two grandboys by our daughter and we are teaching them the life of exploring, Florida springs, Arizona back country..Cleators Yarcht Club and panning for gold in the the depths nearby..

    Hanna, I'm enjoying your videos. Just discovered it..today. I think i can connect with this one more than the van girl with the snake. 🐍😁 Just so you know. Yours feel calm and more real without all the quirky silly editing done on the other one..which was fun to watch at first, but it makes me question whether it's real or staged. I watched the van tour you did and it was very interesting. You mentioned the vodka bottle in the cabinet and you said something about being an alcoholic. 🤔 I was like 😳. Were you kidding? I hope you were kidding!🤣🤣🤣😳 But in this video you mentioned getting drunk and drinking too much or something. Again 😳
    I pray you don't have a drinking problem 😟. Anyhoo, I really enjoyed the video and I am soooo jealous of you! 😜 That you are living your life how you want to live it. Even tho it looks fun, you are right to say that it isnt for everybody. Me? It aint gonna happen lolol! I know me. So if you dont mind, I'll just live vicariously through you lol! I admire you really, just be careful out there. Peace✌ and God bless!😊
