The thing i love about your vlogs and you Stephi, is how free and authentic you are. I've been locked in my apartment due to fear and depression for a long time, but when I watch your vlogs i feel an urge to explore and live again. Thank you 😊
I'm caught in a similar sad position.. It's an inward fight to go out. With an intense "empty nest" syndrome and no one to share experiences with, I stay home. Stephi gives me such a feeling of being in the world alive again, she has such an inner peace and optimism! I wonder if she knows how much joy she gives to those of us who don't have her strength and drive to follow the dreams of such freedom on our own?
Me too cant live the house , and Im not taking care of my self , 8 months ago i was living in my motorhome and in nature most of the time .now i just ser the world throw the Window of an apartament wich i dont like ..ido t take medicines..Im stuck in a loop thinking about the past and worring about the future ..
Being drained of social energy is SO real. I spend a lot of time by myself and I'm used to not speaking for hours on end, I'm used to entertaining myself and day dreaming, and as I've healed over the years, I've learned to nurture and protect my mom vulnerable and innocent self... it sounds weird but I've become my own best friend over the last year or so.. so when I'm around a group of people for a period of time, where I have to duck and weave and maneuver around personalities and conversations and observing social cues... I get SO drained. I'm glad you followed your intuition and I'm sending positive vibes for your safe travel. Maybe getting back into some artwork or a bigger project would help you focus back on YOU.
This resonates with me so much I've been doing the same thing for 2 yrs I have lots more work too do but I think it's amazing your spending the time to love your self and protect yourself.
I totally feel the same. I’ve been on such a long hiatus from my channel but I will be returning soon. It’s okay to take a break, and let yourself breathe 🖤🧚🏽♂️✨
When I think of you I can’t help but think of Claire Wineland too. And how she would give anything to be alive right now. What would she be doing with the gift life. Years ago you found a quote somewhere that went like this. Who am I. Where did I come from. And how did I get here. Questions that can never be answered. Have joy Stephi Lee Wright. You deserve it.
That "delivery" pizza at the end of the table, with all the veggies, looked amazing. I had to stop, rewind, and pause on those few frames, just to let my eyes savor how delicious that must have been. Then I watched it again in slow motion. Now I too must have pizza.
Sometimes in life you just need to be alone in order to see what’s next. ❤️ You inspire me with your life, even if it’s just short glimpses. Keep doing you and never stop!
You are young (I am 55) so just keep in mind everyone experiences burn out throughout life! That is normal Dear! Take breaks when needed and write down new goals and plans and continue with those plans... that is life! 👍 I admire your courage to travel and explore as many people never do. Just stay safe and healthy and I Pray GOD will continue to watch over you as you move to your next adventure. ❤
So happy that your recent travel and interactions with friends have brought you back to yourself and what you love to do. That really is a blessing. Beautiful scenery and love your pup. What a great companion to have, never alone- always there for each other. How lucky you both are. Be safe and well.
i don't remember the first video of yours that the RUclips algorithm had put in the list of suggestions for me while i was going down another rabbit hole. anyways, i watched it, and i subscribed before it was over. your voice feels so soothing to me. it brought me a calm kinda in the way a virtual hug from the right person can feel like a warm embrace. i have since seen and/or listened to a scattered number of your posts in no particular order, but fortunately for me, it was in an order that i was able to learn, to a small degree, about the person you've become thanks to how incredibly real you share your story. i went from the quest to hear more of just your voice, to having my mind blown 'cuz there's no way that i could remotely wrapping my brain around the concept of knowing your whole life will be cut short due to a terminal disease. the snippets i've been exposed to since of your journey have led me to have great respect for you. your courage to constantly pursue who you are as well as to share your story. i began to appreciate your drive to be true to your individuality, and your wisdom to follow your intuition. then the news of the new treatment that has been so effective for you, giving you a new perspective on your lease on life. thru it all, from what i've gleaned to this point, you've remained so even keel. so you. i am typing this extensively long comment to say thank you. the cumulative narrative, with this post included, has reminded me of a promise that i had made to my inner child on my 40th birthday in May of 2012. you see i own an expensive piece of paper that i applied & worked my ass off to acquire without taking a single loan. this paper claims that i earned a Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis in computer graphics. when i discovered this degree, i went after it all in. i enrolled at the third college that i would attend in my life. i was able to get a small scholarship, knocked my tuition down to $5k a semester, as well as worked two jobs while taking classes. that combined with some savings and a pell grant that i was granted just before my final semester, and i made it happen. i spent 2 1/2 years at that college. for the only time ever for me, i made straight A's the entirety of my curriculum, which included mandatory electives not just art classes. i graduated Spring 2000 even though i finished my last classes at the end of the Fall of '99 semester. i found myself turning 28, attending my college commencement, and wishing my Ma a happy Mother's Day all on the same day. i had, what i was led to believe, an interactive CD-ROM portfolio that i had built from the back label & cover for the jewel case, cd label, to an animated intro that gave a visual sense of travel via a very short movie file to a home page. one could select from a list of categories each representing a genre of art that i had digital images of my pieces that corresponded accordingly. each genre title was a hot spot. anytime one would click on a hot spot i would have one of a different very short movie file play to give the sense of motion to imply traveling to the next page or image. i sent copies of this digital résume out from Kansas all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast. close to 8 months later i finally had gotten a response from someone at a company that informed me that the damn thing didn't work! it just opened with a list of files. the person was also kind enough to take the time to look at the files, and then told me that i showed great potential. however, my degree was already outdated. they suggested that i go back to school to learn some programming languages which, combined with my degree, would then give me the opportunity to be employable. along with discovering that my portfolio only worked properly if opened on a computer in the infrastructure of the campus art department of my alma mater, i found out that i can flowchart with the best of them. translating from those to an actual program in a computer language for whatever reason i never could grasp. i allowed the failed attempts at a career path to end any notions of being an artist. for years and years whenever i thought of myself pertaining to art was just nothing but shame, disappointment, and failure. i couldn't, wouldn't, allow myself to create anymore. then on my 40th birthday i promised myself that it was okay to create art again. in fact it would most likely be healthy to do so. here it is ten years later with me finding myself back at square zero with what the hell am i going to do with my life. it was the exposure to your story that somewhere during my playing of this video i remembered that promise. thank you doesn't seem to validate the gratitude i have for you sharing your life so openly. i just wanted you to know how by doing such you've influenced and inspired me. now it's time for me to do the action someday i should binge your videos from the beginning to the present. wonder what other energies might get stirred up, rekindled, or even noticed for my first time ✌️🐝➕
Interestingly, i feel the opposite. I'm so thirsty for travel. But that's normal. Having chapters, needs changing. Theres an ebb and a flow. Good job listening to your intuition. Don't ever question it. I wish you safety.
My daughter is a licensed therapist in California she received her doctrine in Chicago . And was a big advocate and pushing for the online therapist she said you can reach so many more people that normally wouldn’t seek help . Thank you For letting all your viewers know they have an option they don’t always have to go to an office ❤️😊👊👍
Stephi, I want to say that I suffer from depression, and watching your RUclips videos always makes me happy 😊. You've been through so much babe. Stay strong and stay happy.
i admire you i love your channel I have died twice in the last two years my health is super bad I sit at home lying in bed watching camping & fishing videos wishing I could do what your doing so watching you out there living life inspires me to do more to live I'm limited to what I can do. love your life Stephi keep on keeping on!!!
I'm laying in bed with my dog who has cancer and I'm 60 years old, I love that you are living your life on your terms 💕 I've been a drug addict for years I'm on methadone and have been for years and I hate it I'm always flat line never have any energy to do anything I don't even really have friends. I've always wanted to do what you are doing, you are an amazing woman, I'm following you ❤️ ❤️❤️
The world has been such a disaster lately and I try not to lose hope in humanity. Definitely feeling the burn out. But everyday I try to practice gratefulness and focus on the ones I love, and taking care of my doggos. If that's all I can do then so be it. I can't control what everyone else is doing but I can try to be the best version of myself and make the world better even on the smallest of scales.
I am amazed by all you do. I'm sorry I'm old like 57 but I'm so inspired by you. I too have breathing issues mostly from bad choices like smoking, campfires and just life. Your so beautiful inside that it comes out of you. God bless you stephi, your videos make me fight harder to live. Love ya Steph. Keep on keeping on.
This vlog is very unique bcs it reveals how intuitive you are and how connected you are with yourself to notice something is off, reflecting on it and figuring out a solution and what you need to do to help yourself. Mad respect to you, you’re so inspiring ❤️
I love the fact that you are not afraid to do you. And the quote you said about needing a different headspace.. that really hit home for me. Have fun on the east coast🥰
I just finished watching a Yoga documentary called, "Yoga: The Architecture of Peace." In the documentary, a vast amount of the Yogis mention going back to nature and isolation (for certain amounts of time) in order to get a better understanding of themselves/life. Trust the journey... I remember someone telling me, at a certain time in my life, that, "It is ok to lose your shit, Just remember to come back. We need you..."
Stephi I hope you're able to charge soon 🕯 It's good that you recognise it early on! (Apparently) I've been living in burnout for years :( I hope we can both recover 💛💛
I finished grad school living in a ford econoline conversion. I loved it so dearly but it wasn’t until I started living house life again I realized how stressful van life can be on your nervous system
I love that you are so honest. You follow your gut. That's vital. You pick up on when social time is enough. You are doing exactly what you need to Stephi. You have a lovely spirit. Keep doing your thing.
Travel and exploring is amazing but I also find it’s A LOT of work and takes a certain energy and mindset. I too feel drained after even the most relaxing vacation. Just being at home alone with no plans is sometimes needed for a bit.
I wish I had the resources to do what you are doing, sometimes I feel like I just want to live my life free from everything and just travel, but I have too many to responsibilities to deal with, maybe when I am debt free I will explore, you're an awesome individual, let's hope the road brings closer to peace an do happiness. Remember home is where the heart is.
I live in Ashland OR. This area is easy to fall in love with and want to stay. We live about an hour+ from The Redwoods. Good luck on your life's journey!
It can get overwhelming traveling at times. I’m full time and the weather plays a big part of me racing around. I just started documenting my travels this year on RUclips as well. It’s been a strange journey but beautiful. Hopefully I’ll see you down the road love
your voice is so calming!! its seriously so relaxing and comforting! i love your channel and i totally dig all of your traveling! wishing u luck for ur future adventures, ✌️ out!
So sweet and pure :) I'm here following your journey on and off for 3+ years and you're a huge inspiration in terms of doing what one really feels passionate about. I'll be realizing my dream and moving into a car soon after the trip to colombia coming up in a week so thanks for the motivational content☀
I've been watching your videos for a few years now but I've been loving your videos on this road trip with your new friends. Love seeing you Stephi as authenticatly happy and seemingly at peace whithi as well 😊
You won’t burn out , just burn on . You have a strong flame and a great vision . Keep it in on doing what your doing, your a great inspiration to me and many others . Best wishes & hopes Doug
I'm feeling burnt out with school and work but hoping I can relocate to the west coast when I'm done with school and start my life over. Wishing you the best, Stephi!

I'm a Libra and an Empath so I totally understand you.💯💯❤️🙏🏼🦋🌻👣🌾🌠🌲 alone time is always needed to clear, transmute and transform energies, keep Balanced my friend and sending you so much Love, Healing, and Goodness♡♡♡
GREAT 🙂 I AM SOOO00ooo pleased to see you again 😊. I'm in England and I enjoy your vlogs because you are very expressive and honest about your feelings. I don't think that you will ever get to read this, but I hope you Keep yourself happy 🤨
Mental health has shaped my life massively , i failed a drug overdose a few years back taking over 50 tablets to be found and hospitalised and saved my doc saying 20 mins longer in getting to hospital i most likely wouldnt of survived. I took this as motivation that i must be needed in life. Thankfully im around for my lad now he was about 5 when i took the overdose now he's ten and my true reason for now fighting my daily battle of mental health, I work hard and now enjoying loife and thankfully can fight my mental health with the right people and support around me. Please people suffering speak out there is help out there.
I love how you listen to your instincts! Keeping your plans to yourself and choosing to follow them without input from others is just fine. Best wishes for safe travels! Onto the next adventure in your exploration. Whether that is inward, learning more about yourself or outward experiencing a deeper understanding of other, Loving Life with all its gifts is a gift in itself. Even in a life with more time than you had thought you had, every moment counts! Love from Vermont.
This is absolutely lovely Stephi! Thank you for posting, your vlogs are absolutely incredible. Also relatable being at a point of being burned out from socializing, nothing wrong with that at all ❤️
You have such a badass style. Your videos really are a work of art, and exceptional at that. The way you capture the moments and add your personal zest to it all is so refreshingly charming. Btw, I get the same way when it comes to socializing. I grew up out in the country far from town and I was content with the stillness of everything. So much so that I feel like I need the stillness now, as if it is apart of me. I love socializing, as the gemini in me thrives on it, but I completely understand the burnt out feeling. Thanks so much for all the inspiration! Big hugs from Chiloquin, Oregon.
You've been through alot in the past couple of years. Changes in expectations, life purpose and direction, changes in your health. Alot of people living vicariously through your vlogs to escape their own lives...but don't seem to have followed you through the years to see your ups and downs. Hopefully you can find rest within your soul, reconnect with your amazing artistic talent, surround yourself with supportive people, make peace with the past and embrace your journey into your own future. Much love...been here for a few years now. Really want to see good things happen for you.
Love this vlog. I am stuck at home not well so its so lovely to see the beautiful scenery and you all having such fun. I hope you get some time though to feel better as I’m sure mixing with people a lot when on your travels can be draining when you just want some alone time to yourself too. Sending love all the way from the UK🇬🇧❤️
You're a really great human, Steph! You radiate kindness and fun wherever you go. You're such a free spirit. Looks gorgeous up in the mountains. Scenery is just wow! Travel safe 💖🏴
I'm very envious of your lifestyle! I'm glad your able to see the sights you are and make the memories that you are! You seem like such a super cool person! And although I dont watch all the time, I really enjoy your videos!! I find myself being burnt out often too and all the things that seem to help the most are the things you have packed onto your life😁
I know what you mean by therapy it really does help I went through a lot with my dad and my first husband and I came out stronger and better and happier don’t give up and what I’ve learned is life is what you make it
I’ve always wanted to go to the redwoods !! I’m so jealous!!!!!! It’s amazing!!! It’s all good though!! Everyone needs a break! You have to listen to yourself!!! You seem to be doin a great job of that!! Im super envious of your travels though I must say!! I am such a fan of you lol!!
If you get a chance PLEASE check out the upper peninsula of Michigan. Specifically Kitch-iti-kipi springs and Munising and Copper Harbor. I know its out if the way for most cross country travelers so these AMAZING scenes are missed out on by so many folks.
Im curious how this is possible to do without working? I mean gas is between 4 and 6 dollars a gallon depending where your at. Then dog food, food for her, mechanical problems that arise need fixed, phone bill. Etc etc etc
I get burned out on EVERYTHING. Work especially. I got covid on the 8th of July and went back to work for just 1 day on the 15th. Then was already scheduled for a week of vacation. Due to scheduling I didn't return to work until the 27th. So was basically off for 18 days in July. And I'm STILL burned out.
Stephi, you're a beautiful young lady. I'm happy the new medicine is working for you. I often wondered if you'd get burnt out on traveling. You have a great talent in art, and I always thought you'd settle in somewhere and focus more on that. If I were a younger man I'd love to have you in my life. You need hugs, and someone to tell you how beautiful you truly are, on a daily basis. If you ever get back in Michigan, you have a place to stay, as long as you wish. I have 2 empty rooms here, you can pick the one you like, and hangout. It's a quiet country setting, and the neighbors are very respectful. Please be safe, on your journey east. Will pray for your safe travels.
Sometimes your videos make me laugh, and sometime makes me cry! But all the ranges of emotions are what make us human! I just think the world is a better place because YOU are here shining your True YOU! I really appreciate all that you share 💯🙏 and being brave to share it ALL is.. impressive! I thank you immeasurably for everything you share! I hope one day to meet you and share stories! You are truly inspiring! Sending you love and big hugs!
That's so cool your going to places I've actually been now because I live in oregon! I'm sorry your feeling burnt out and I hope you start feeling better!
I loved this vlog. Glad you made it to bend. Love your honesty about everything. I have a son who is 21 with health issues. You are very encouraging please take care of yourself. Can't wait for your updates
Stepi you so totally remind me of Melinie Griffin, the actress. You both are so soft spoken, have intense inner/ outer beauty and abound with life and your surroundings. I wish you all the very best life has to offer & then some. Bless you and keep on finding yourself. With love from B.C. Canada
I really enjoyed watching this episode, especially the aerial drone cinematography. Those mountains and streams are intensely beautiful! Also, I don't know if you read all comments but I want to tell you how soothing your voice is. It has the ability to relax me and put me into a peaceful state of mind. Thank you.
I so feel ya on the social burn out, Stephi. I use to work as a tour guide in Yellowstone, it would hit me at the end of each day for a bit. And at the end of each season I needed the month or so of off season to "recharge". Have a nice trip home, my guess at least.🙋😁
The thing i love about your vlogs and you Stephi, is how free and authentic you are. I've been locked in my apartment due to fear and depression for a long time, but when I watch your vlogs i feel an urge to explore and live again. Thank you 😊

I think you look prettier in every video, Stephi. Find a young man and rock his world!!
That’s why Dogs are the best thing on the planet

Haha right? I always watch these videos at 2x speed but I had to set it to normal speed for that part.

As an introvert i get it...social time saps my energy...solo time restores it. Good on you Stephi!
Interestingly, i feel the opposite.

Theres an ebb and a flow.
Good job listening to your intuition.

I’ve watched your vlogs for years , quite simply said , Stephi Lee, you’re an amazing human being … wishing you much love and happiness ….
Stephi I hope you're able to charge soon 🕯 It's good that you recognise it early on! (Apparently) I've been living in burnout for years :( I hope we can both recover 💛💛
I finished grad school living in a ford econoline conversion. I loved it so dearly but it wasn’t until I started living house life again I realized how stressful van life can be on your nervous system
I love that you are so honest. You follow your gut. That's vital. You pick up on when social time is enough. You are doing exactly what you need to Stephi. You have a lovely spirit. Keep doing your thing.
Its great that there are people out there like you setting an example of how to take initiative with self care! thank you for loving yourself!!!💜
Travel and exploring is amazing but I also find it’s A LOT of work and takes a certain energy and mindset. I too feel drained after even the most relaxing vacation. Just being at home alone with no plans is sometimes needed for a bit.
I wish I had the resources to do what you are doing, sometimes I feel like I just want to live my life free from everything and just travel, but I have too many to responsibilities to deal with, maybe when I am debt free I will explore, you're an awesome individual, let's hope the road brings closer to peace an do happiness. Remember home is where the heart is.
You always brighten my day Stephi.
incel much?

Sorry to hear !!! Maybe take a break ? With all those beautiful places your visiting take a deep breath!!!!
It can get overwhelming traveling at times. I’m full time and the weather plays a big part of me racing around.
I just started documenting my travels this year on RUclips as well. It’s been a strange journey but beautiful.
Hopefully I’ll see you down the road love

One of the things I like about you is your total honesty.I started watching Nikita's channel because of you.You two remind me of each other.
Miss you! Thinking of you! Hope your having fun and feeling better friend.
Ollie is such a happy dog. Safe travels!
Good for you Shephi! Do what what gives you fulfillment!
Yea i feel this energy too lately.. Time for a refresh...
So sweet and pure :) I'm here following your journey on and off for 3+ years and you're a huge inspiration in terms of doing what one really feels passionate about. I'll be realizing my dream and moving into a car soon after the trip to colombia coming up in a week so thanks for the motivational content☀
I've been watching your videos for a few years now but I've been loving your videos on this road trip with your new friends. Love seeing you Stephi as authenticatly happy and seemingly at peace whithi as well 😊
You won’t burn out , just burn on . You have a strong flame and a great vision . Keep it in on doing what your doing, your a great inspiration to me and many others . Best wishes & hopes Doug
I'm feeling burnt out with school and work but hoping I can relocate to the west coast when I'm done with school and start my life over. Wishing you the best, Stephi!
my favorite part was when you stopped to say “i feel alive” 🤍 those are the moments worth chasing

GREAT 🙂
I AM SOOO00ooo pleased to see you again 😊.
I'm in England and I enjoy your vlogs because you are very expressive and honest about your feelings.
I don't think that you will ever get to read this, but I hope you Keep yourself happy 🤨
Mental health has shaped my life massively , i failed a drug overdose a few years back taking over 50 tablets to be found and hospitalised and saved my doc saying 20 mins longer in getting to hospital i most likely wouldnt of survived. I took this as motivation that i must be needed in life. Thankfully im around for my lad now he was about 5 when i took the overdose now he's ten and my true reason for now fighting my daily battle of mental health, I work hard and now enjoying loife and thankfully can fight my mental health with the right people and support around me. Please people suffering speak out there is help out there.
I love how you listen to your instincts! Keeping your plans to yourself and choosing to follow them without input from others is just fine.
Best wishes for safe travels! Onto the next adventure in your exploration. Whether that is inward, learning more about yourself or outward experiencing a deeper understanding of other, Loving Life with all its gifts is a gift in itself. Even in a life with more time than you had thought you had, every moment counts! Love from Vermont.
This is absolutely lovely Stephi! Thank you for posting, your vlogs are absolutely incredible. Also relatable being at a point of being burned out from socializing, nothing wrong with that at all ❤️
your very authentic and thank you for being so.
You have such a badass style. Your videos really are a work of art, and exceptional at that. The way you capture the moments and add your personal zest to it all is so refreshingly charming. Btw, I get the same way when it comes to socializing. I grew up out in the country far from town and I was content with the stillness of everything. So much so that I feel like I need the stillness now, as if it is apart of me. I love socializing, as the gemini in me thrives on it, but I completely understand the burnt out feeling. Thanks so much for all the inspiration! Big hugs from Chiloquin, Oregon.
You've been through alot in the past couple of years. Changes in expectations, life purpose and direction, changes in your health. Alot of people living vicariously through your vlogs to escape their own lives...but don't seem to have followed you through the years to see your ups and downs. Hopefully you can find rest within your soul, reconnect with your amazing artistic talent, surround yourself with supportive people, make peace with the past and embrace your journey into your own future. Much love...been here for a few years now. Really want to see good things happen for you.
New subscriber that checked out your artwork on your website, BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS!!!! Thanks for sharing your gift. Enjoy the road and stay safe.
So happy that I found your channel.
You are so inspiring and authentic.
Always looking forward to the next installment.
Love this vlog. I am stuck at home not well so its so lovely to see the beautiful scenery and you all having such fun. I hope you get some time though to feel better as I’m sure mixing with people a lot when on your travels can be draining when you just want some alone time to yourself too. Sending love all the way from the UK🇬🇧❤️
Get well, be well.
I have so much respect for you. You never give up. You are so strong, beautiful and positive!
Love you all! God bless❤️
You're a really great human, Steph! You radiate kindness and fun wherever you go. You're such a free spirit.
Looks gorgeous up in the mountains. Scenery is just wow!
Travel safe 💖🏴
Fawk Russia tho
Such a STUNNING place!!🌼🌺
I was going to take a break from building out my van today but, you have motivated me to get back out there and get it done! Keep doing what you do!
Glad to see your still doing good
I'm very envious of your lifestyle! I'm glad your able to see the sights you are and make the memories that you are! You seem like such a super cool person! And although I dont watch all the time, I really enjoy your videos!! I find myself being burnt out often too and all the things that seem to help the most are the things you have packed onto your life😁
I love her spirt and her uniqueness she’s beautiful inside and out
Refocus. Refresh and keep moving forward.. you got this
Much love, Stephi. Safe Travels. Stay blessed and well.
I'm just starting to get lit.
I know what you mean by therapy it really does help I went through a lot with my dad and my first husband and I came out stronger and better and happier don’t give up and what I’ve learned is life is what you make it
I’ve always wanted to go to the redwoods !! I’m so jealous!!!!!! It’s amazing!!! It’s all good though!! Everyone needs a break! You have to listen to yourself!!! You seem to be doin a great job of that!! Im super envious of your travels though I must say!! I am such a fan of you lol!!
Love you from Japan Stephi! Best of luck on your new trip and stay safe on your 48 hr drive!
If you get a chance PLEASE check out the upper peninsula of Michigan. Specifically Kitch-iti-kipi springs and
Munising and Copper Harbor. I know its out if the way for most cross country travelers so these AMAZING scenes are missed out on by so many folks.
Hang in there xo
You are a strong woman Stephi. Never forget how bright you shine and how loved you are around the world.
Thanks for your postings. Be safe.
Im curious how this is possible to do without working? I mean gas is between 4 and 6 dollars a gallon depending where your at. Then dog food, food for her, mechanical problems that arise need fixed, phone bill. Etc etc etc
We love you and support you!
Love you're vlogs! you helped me find beauty in life and in nature and the world around me thank you 😊
Great vid - we all need some ‘me’ time to chill out, recharge and take stock of our lives from time to time
I get burned out on EVERYTHING. Work especially. I got covid on the 8th of July and went back to work for just 1 day on the 15th. Then was already scheduled for a week of vacation. Due to scheduling I didn't return to work until the 27th. So was basically off for 18 days in July. And I'm STILL burned out.
Way to go Stephi, love watching your journey.
Your energy is so soothing x
You are such an inspiration to so many
Stephi, you're a beautiful young lady. I'm happy the new medicine is working for you. I often wondered if you'd get burnt out on traveling.
You have a great talent in art, and I always thought you'd settle in somewhere and focus more on that. If I were a younger man I'd love to have you in my life. You need hugs, and someone to tell you how beautiful you truly are, on a daily basis. If you ever get back in Michigan, you have a place to stay, as long as you wish. I have 2 empty rooms here, you can pick the one you like, and hangout. It's a quiet country setting, and the neighbors are very respectful. Please be safe, on your journey east. Will pray for your safe travels.
I know how you feel Stephi. Another great One thank you
Sometimes your videos make me laugh, and sometime makes me cry! But all the ranges of emotions are what make us human! I just think the world is a better place because YOU are here shining your True YOU! I really appreciate all that you share 💯🙏 and being brave to share it ALL is.. impressive! I thank you immeasurably for everything you share! I hope one day to meet you and share stories! You are truly inspiring! Sending you love and big hugs!
That's so cool your going to places I've actually been now because I live in oregon! I'm sorry your feeling burnt out and I hope you start feeling better!
I loved this vlog. Glad you made it to bend. Love your honesty about everything. I have a son who is 21 with health issues. You are very encouraging please take care of yourself. Can't wait for your updates
Stepi you so totally remind me of Melinie Griffin, the actress. You both are so soft spoken, have intense inner/ outer beauty and abound with life and your surroundings. I wish you all the very best life has to offer & then some. Bless you and keep on finding yourself. With love from B.C. Canada
Interesting. That comparison never occurred to me before, but I can see what you mean.
I always enjoy watching you. I live in Springfield Missouri bout 266 miles from KC.
I really enjoyed watching this episode, especially the aerial drone cinematography. Those mountains and streams are intensely beautiful! Also, I don't know if you read all comments but I want to tell you how soothing your voice is. It has the ability to relax me and put me into a peaceful state of mind. Thank you.
First omelette, what!? Stop in Steamboat Springs Yampa river is warm and flowing slow, it’s like waist deep and spectacular right now! Max
It's always good to take that alone time that you need to recharge. I love your videos and I hope you have safe travels 💗
ugh. i totally agree. i feel like i've been burnt out for months lmao. Also going back to the east coast very soon!
I so feel ya on the social burn out, Stephi. I use to work as a tour guide in Yellowstone, it would hit me at the end of each day for a bit. And at the end of each season I needed the month or so of off season to "recharge". Have a nice trip home, my guess at least.🙋😁
Love how free you are I wish I could do what you do keep it up love you
