    We saw the video clips over and over here in Florida of cars sliding on the ice on the news. It reminded me of what the country sees when we have hurricanes! Our hearts go out to those affected by weather, but while you are experiencing it, it’s awful! Love your channel Amber.

    Brrrrr, I hate being cold! I'm glad that the Houston area didn't get the freeze, ice, power outages & all that. Whew!
    I was in CC in December, went to Padre, didn't even park. The beach was too shallow, sand too deep.
    Moved onto Port Aransas. Much better! Yep, I get the solar thing. After 4 nights on the beach, no sun, I was forced to Mustang Island SP, which is a nice park & affordable! Had power!
    It's good to GTG with friends 😊👍
    I'm thinking of buying land outside of San Antonio.

As someone who used to have a very adventurous personality and to see where life has taken me to the place where I constantly feel tired, and burned out, living in a city has huge effects. Watching you and your adventures inspire me to change some things and maybe also give van life a chance as well :) thank you and wish you all the best.

    We were in Grapevine n Aug. 31 when the Ice storm started. We had to get back to Houston for work. Left at 8:30am the roads were fairly empty. The road was frozen and you could only determine if you were in a lane when you went under a bridge. Very scary. We drove very slowly and were fortunate to not have any issues.

    I am so looking forward to your tiny house tour in Austin. I have seen them on other channels and they are so darn adorable. Very much that cottage feel that I think is right up your alley!!!
    So right now I am going to attempt to manifest a van like Dani’s into my life and also a tiny (affordable) house for a home base. Maybe your next business could be to open a tiny house community with like minded people who love travel, art, meditation and yoga and animals. Id be the first one on the list.
