Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed this video and the various ways in which I'm changing and adapting to this new part of my life. Are you going through any changes? Have any regrets?
Many many changes too. I'm one of those people that gets bored easily and my life changes every two to three years. Some people like change, others don't. What really matters is that we find peace, joy and love in our lives everyday, and we are responsible for making ourselves happy! ☮💌Still enjoy viewing your videos no matter the content
Yes, as we speak I am turning into a werewolf & it is sooo annoying. 😜 Kidding aside, I have a question. Since rv/vans are still at a premium, are you considering at all selling your van while at it's highest value? Or just worth keeping for the moment? Thanks
I am in the process of changing jobs from an office sit down all day job to a more mobile job that's more outdoors. I am finishing some dental work with my current great dental coverage. God knows what kind of dental my next job will have. lol 🦷
I am preparing for a major life change. My youngest started college this past August. I am getting my house ready to be put on the market. I need to decide where I want to live just for myself. I follow you and other travelers to see parts of the country that I have not personally been.
🎼"Regrets, I've had a few..."😉Life brings change. I'm one of those few humans who embrace change. Boredom has been my enemy since I was a little kid! But stupid pandemic wrecked me, truly. Became agoraphobic, the PTSD came back, the ANXIETY swallowed me whole. I barely left my house except to go to my little cottage in the Summer. Jan '22, I got uterine cancer, finished treatment in June, am finally moving out of the "rage" phase. Now, I have NO fear. Screw it... I lived! My husband is still so scared, thought he was gonna lose me (sweetie!).. But I'm staying here for the FUN. I'm going to the Caribbean next week! I'm done with fear, open to all adventures. Still anxious, always will be. But I win, anxiety. No fear. You're doing GREAT, Amber. Happy for ya! Cute place!!! 💐(Got your sticker on my car and my laptop... I'm representing you, pretty lady!!!)
I'm glad that you've been authentic with your process. I know you've gotten some flack some some people, but I wanted to give you the other side. It totally makes sense to me that you would get tired of being on the road after a number of years. Full time on the road isn't for everyone, especially not indefinitely. So thanks for continuing to be authentic with your own story chasing adventure, and not trying to produce a story that other people want. What I appreciate about you is your realness. As somebody who has had a lot of depression and anxiety, it makes me feel like I can relate to your situation. Although my situation is very different, I can definitely relate to the occasional uncertainty of life. And the uncertainty of what should go next.
Kim thank you for sharing your perspective and kind compliments. It’s sometimes hard to navigate this path when I’m also thinking about what’s best for me, how can I show something that might help somebody else, and still make a entertaining and successful video. It can be agonizing and I out a lot of pressure on myself. I hope you are being kind to yourself with the anxiety and depression and have support. It can be hard to deal with otherwise.
@@storychasing By this point your followers are just interested in your story no matter where you are living. Life is ever changing and if you are authentic, that's all that counts.
Guess what? We’ve ALL been smacked in our lives. I’m sorry people judged you or shamed you in any manner. Sadly, we see a lot of judgement like this these days. Keep being true to yourself. That’s absolutely ALL that matters! Your authenticity is a breath of fresh air. Thank you!❤
Your authentic voice was what drew me to your channel. Dealing with suffering is something we share in common. Our best life stories are about struggling with loss and changes. Do not regret showing us that part of Story Chasing. It is powerful and moving. Some people run from that. The rest of us are saying "Yes, I understand".
I am sorry you felt so harshly judged for sharing a difficult part of your life. I think more people appreciate it than look down on you for it. I have always preferred to surround myself with people who aren't afraid to show some of their hardships - it's easier to relate to those kind of people and easier to then open up myself. Sometimes you just need to talk it out and not be afraid that you will be judged for your feelings. Thanks for being you. And btw, I love that bed frame. My dream is to have one just like it! And it's been fun to come along with you as you decorate your little part time home. ♥️
If some people don'r appreciate your authentic sharing, that's about them, not you. The airbrushed version of van life may be what they are looking for, but your most loyal followers want your actual experience. I appreciate your true voice and your honest sharing! For me, otherwise, what's the point of sharing at all........to create a fantasy version of your life with no difficult experiences? Now that sounds boring to me. Artificial Intelligence can create videos like that. I celebrate being human even with all the rough around the edges experiences! You're on the right track, Amber, in my humble opinion! It's one of the things I've always appreciated about you and your channel!
So sorry to hear you felt judged, Amber, and especially when you experienced two profound losses in your life in 2022. We are here whether you are story chasing on the road or elsewhere- 💕
Listen girl, I just read a bunch of the comments n all I see is Love n Support for you. I like so many others appreciate your honesty n realness in all situations. We love you!
There are many who would benefit from part-timing tips…. Creating a go-bag to avoid spending half of the weekend prepping for the weekend trip…. Finding low cost getaways….
Boy can I relate to you today! 2022 was one of the hardest years for me as well. Sickness sidelined me and “forced” me into an early retirement. I have recovered and am welcoming the change as I had a very stressful job and was constantly being given additional responsibilities outside the scope of my job. They were burning me out from the inside out!..Pretty toxic now that I can dissect it from a far. Glad you are feeling better. Anxiety/depression sucks! Take care..❤your channel. Been riding along with you for about 4 years now..Hugz…..Laurie in Tampa Bay, FL.
They make a glass weight that you put on top of “the onions “ of whatever you are pickling. It holds the product down into the pickle fluid. I have looked in stores, guess have to order online.
I respect your authenticity! Living full time on the road is exhausting. So many decisions just to handle basic living chores. I’m happy you found a nice sticks and bricks!
Yes, I can see why being on the road full time could burn anyone out. Constantly having to worry about finding a place to stay and having to pay for every night. Safety, where to get internet, where to get food etc. Good job on finding the right mix. ps You have one of the best cameras ever. So clear.
Long Time Viewer. 1st time commenting. Thank You for being honest and sharing your full life experience. IMHO a big factor in the high rates of depression and anxiety in our society is related to the pressure to be fake, To present an air brushed life. It does not allow us the necessary vulnerability to feel heard, validated and thus supported to process our hurt, heal it and thus move on to the next chapter in our life. Since I am 51 and living with my parents partly to save money and partly to help them out with their health challenges, Watching your videos gives me a chance to Travel with you. Thank You!
As someone coming up on 70.....I can tell you the one constant in life is constant change. Adaptability is your Friend. We all write our ki en story. I am so proud of you for writing/video taping your own story authentically. Keep up the good work!!!! Enjoy every moment of your own story!
Hi Amber… I also changed my nomad life. I sold my Motorhome and am glad for it. I have been following you for a few years and just 3 weeks ago I also changed my way of eating. As I learned more and more about a low carb, meat based diet, everything has changed for the better. I have been guided to share this with you. With your thousands of followers, your sharp mind, and honest, authentic manner, you might be interested in giving meat a chance. My results of being in such a peaceful mood and extra energy is awesome. Of course trimming down those unwanted pounds is also a dream come true. I listen to the small whisper I hear from my spiritual guidance and they continue to ask me to share this with you. I would have sent a private message but I just don’t know how. Even though I did not want to send this message because I try to stay away from attention, your personality is perfect and that is why I enjoyed your channel. I want nothing from you nor am I selling anything. Meat is sold at all stores. I believe in synchronicity and perhaps this is not the first time you have heard about a carnivore/ lion diet. It’s time to heal our bodies and I for one have found a method that works. I was shocked by the results. Blessings to you, Amber, as you explore your newest journey.
Your choices on furnishings are fabulous & your place is looking more & more comfortable & homey! I love the bed frame design - you could try to find a body pillow & tuck it up next to the headboard. Your mattress could move further to fill the empty spot at the foot of the bed. That would save you the expense of getting a separate mattress for your house.
I hope your regret about sharing doesn't keep you from being the honest person you are. I relate to you so much more than others on youtube and I hope it stays that way!
Healthy things grow..plain and simple and we all have the right to change and grow in our own way. I considered FT van life and quickly realized that wouldn’t work for me…so I have a home base and a Pleasureway van…best of both worlds! 😀 Oh…and you aren’t responsible for how I feel when watching your videos…that’s all on ME! 🥰
I think you made the right decision, just remember, now you can pick the spots you loved and head to those spots when you’re ready, but also you can relax and research spots you would love to see. To tell you the truth, it always made me up tight, the constant moving and having to spend so much energy finding a place for the night, just felt like you were missing out on so much. Best formula we use is leave by 10 stop travel about 200 miles stop and spend 2 days in a spot. When you stop, explore the area and decide which direction you want to go when you leave. ❣️❣️❣️. Before long you’ll be ready to go again.
One of the best gifts to possess is the ability to see the end of something. You have that part of your intuition. It’s useless to fight it. Good for you. I actually like your channel more now that you’ve made the change. You’re honest…never apologize for that. ❤
I don’t feel like you need to apologize for having anxiety. Your channel is about yourself and what you’re going through as your journey. The journey isn’t always going to be sunshine and roses. I appreciate all of the parts that you show us the viewers.
I was just at the IKEA in my hometown last week. 😊It’s not far from my work so me and a coworker went to have lunch at the cafeteria. I had never been to the cafeteria before. Good food!
It makes perfect sense to have a home base. Even Bob Wells, sort of the king of nomads, owns property in Arizona. Nomadic fanatic just bought property in Arizona. Life is change.
Hi Amber, I had a few minutes to surf the net, and your video popped up. This is a fun video, just hanging out with you, shopping, being a tourist visiting the Buddhist Temple, eating yummy food, decorating. I feel more calm, hope you feel that way too. Deep breath, regularly, keep your peace. Peace of mind is golden. Your place is shaping up nicely. Live in happiness, promise yourself. 💞💞💞💞
Love that you have your spark back, Amber! I'm chasing mine right now and hoping to get it back in 2023. 🙃 I think life has repeatedly been slapping me in the face to say it's time for change, too. Now, to take that leap despite the fear and this crazy economy we find ourselves in!
You are entitled to live your life in your way, people will always give an opinion whether asked for it or not. These channels enable people to see places and people they wouldn’t ordinarily meet. Be kind to yourself 🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏
For the last 11 or 12 years, I was the caregiver for my precious brother, Dad, & Mom. Losing them, & having no other family has been a very difficult & an emotional challenge. I was so wonderfully blessed to have such a loving family, I don't regret anything except that I couldn't do more & I couldn't fix their health. During my life, I have also lost many precious pets which was also very painful. They're not "just an animal" to me. But I am no different than millions of other people who've experienced similar losses, difficulties, health issues, etc. The gift of love we receive from family, friends, & pets is worth every tear, every broken heart, the loneliness, & all the healing time. At some point, we begin to let go of some of the pain so that the happy memories take over most of our thoughts. I'm on your side, & so are thousands of other people. You aren't alone. 😊🤗❤️
I think sharing that part of your life was really a good thing. It cuts through the “everything’s perfect in my life” facade which can often be portrayed on social media. That does a lot of harm to people too. More harm I would suggest than you sharing your real life challenges. Thank you for keeping it real and I think the situation you are in is perfect and would likely suit a lot of other people. Your true followers are those who watch the channel for you. I love where your at now and I’m looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2023. 🤗💖
Everything is coming together so nice...Everything looks beautiful. I fell in love with your new plates i love them! I've noticed how much calmer you are your relaxed and just enjoying life the way you want for a while. I like this part of your life but I also like the van life part too! But I know it's very hard being on the road all the time. No matter how you choose to do life I will still be following you. Just be safe at all times! Wishing you the best!! ❤🙏
I don't feel you need to apologize for sharing your feelings , anxiety and some of the tough things you went through . You are human and showing all sides of your life the good times and the tough times . The reality of life for everyone. I think it helps us viewers of your channel and also helps you as well , since we can comment and respond to you in a show of support of advice . Thank you for showing us the Temple . It's very beautiful. Your new place looks beautiful too. Thanks again Amber .
Your little apartment is just perfect. I love your bed frame, and that seems to be the style right now seeing the wooden base. Your all good. You do what you want to do, I was very happy to see you here today.
So glad you have your "SPARK" back again; you look so HAPPY and relaxed. I adore your content; I feel like I'm always watching a good friend as she continues her "Story Chasing".
I found your videos in the beginning of 2022, and loved your honesty and vulnerability. Much better than artificial cheeriness. I love your channel. ❤️
to see you painting as you shared at the end............made me cry! not to worry about those who left, FT vanlife now is precarious, at best, imho..... i love to watch people grow and share their gifts! Thanks, Amber! xxx
I love this new adventure of living life. I was married for 37 years when my husband passed away. I had to find my new normal, which is so hard to do. I feel like you are doing the same thing that I am experiencing. Love to see the peace and happiness that shines through you. Gives me hope.
I am so sorry that you had such a hard time especially last year. It’s wonderful to see you at peace and I love your apartment and it’s a calm and relaxing home. When you are ready to go out on the road again you will be going with a new outlook especially knowing that you have family and your home to return to. blessings and peace to you 🙏🙏😊🥰
I know the feeling - travelling for long periods of time is exhausting because so many decisions need to be made. There is always the air of uncertainty even when you know where you are going. Most of the time I really enjoyed returning to work - because it was a relatively known environment. Sad but true. Retired now but still travel - but need to return to my home after about 4 weeks.
Listen, you do you! Don’t worry what others say! Most of us love you and will watch all your adventures ! And you look so happy,and I’m so happy for you…😊
I can't imagine following someone for years and having them hide a sad time in their life and their temporary feelings. To out on a phony happiness all because real feelings might "trigger" somebody else. NO! Life is not like that. There are ups and downs and all that matters is being normally authentic. I'm glad you showed it all and your transitioning thru it the best way for you. Blessings Dear!
I used to take my mother to ikea for breakfast. She loved it better than McDonald’s breakfast. Seeing you eating there brought back memories:). Wish you warm and healthy in your new place and path!
No regrets! You were still "Story Chasing." Not all chapters in our life are happy and carefree. You lived yours and shared the good the bad and the ugly. I am happy for you to be in a steady environment with family close by. (Especially after Lily) Thanks for continuing to take us on your life adventure. I love your new space and your bed looks sturdy (love the wagon) and could you possibly share your pickled red onion recipe? And what do you use it on?
So glad you are feeling better! This "story chasing" chapter is so much fun! May I please respectfully add if buying feather products please make sure feathers come from a cruelty free source? Some companies still support live plucking. 😢 Thank you so much for sharing your life! 💖
Amber, I think that you are very brave. You went on your journey instead of staying in a long lasting daily grind job. I myself worked at the same business for almost 35 years. Became a vacation traveler but dreamed of doing more. You seem like an interesting, fun & kind person. Plus, a dog lover. Like myself. I enjoy your RUclips stories! PS love your living room look!
I don't think you need to apologise for any thing. Life as a whole is about changes, and you have to roll with it. You had a difficult time last year and you showed the true side of living on the road. Too many people assume its all the instagram pictures. Waking up to amazing views all the time the "honeymoon" aspect. You showing your truth would have helped more people than offending them. I suffer with depression and afew times have been stuck, your videos have helped me.
Thank you for your vulnerability, and openness. And although you stated having triggered others anxiety.. I feel strongly that being open about mental health, vulnerable, authentic and open to discussion is really key in wellness with mental health, and is also key in public understanding... As mental health is often kept under wraps, or behind closed doors... And as a person with deep anxiety, that can be very isolating for me.. And some channels that are more open and honest help me feel connected, so thank you for telling your story authentically, and being yourself.
Wow I can't believe people are so judgmental. I love all your insights about things. Why can't we all show compassion instead. Anyway I love your choice of style for everything you've picked out for your new place so far. And if I didn't I would just shut my face. Lol! We all like and do what makes us happy and comfortable oh and hey you got this! Yes you do!
I’m glad you were honest about your journey, your anxiety, your story, and I’m very sorry you were judged harshly because you allowed us to share it all with you. I think you made the best decision for yourself to settle in one place for awhile. The fact that you recognized and acted on the need to start a new chapter shows that you are a smart and strong woman. I enjoy your channel and I look forward to following along on your new adventures!
Hi there from Australia. Life isn’t perfect and you are so right for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly. Had you only showed the good, your channel would only strive to give people false hope. Thank you for all you do and good luck for 2023.
It is lovely to see you so happy. We lived in a van full time for two years then I needed a base. It was the best thing we did. We travel part time too. So happy for you
What a well-done video! Thanks for showing us the temple, taking us shopping, and the beautiful bed. You be you and talk your story. None of us are always joyful and happy. Going through things is life. Enjoy life and be you! Thanks for an amazing video!
I tune in to your videos because you are real & show the hard truth & feelings you deal with. This is true life. 99% of your videos are upbeat. As you go through life changing things I am happy to continue along the journey to see what's ahead!! Keep your chin up...No Regrets!
Hi there! Amber, you are enough!! You are perfection no matter what path you choose to take! You were not created to be the vessel for others sadness, disappointments or anger. I am glad to see you replace the darkness with hope and light. I’ve missed you❤️
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed this video and the various ways in which I'm changing and adapting to this new part of my life. Are you going through any changes? Have any regrets?

You will NEVER please everyone no matter what you are doing. Just do what is best for you and let the haters go! You do you boo! 😊
You seem so much calmer and happier now that you've changed to having a home base close to your family. Congratulations on seeing the change through
No reason to apologize. So glad you are content with the changes you have made. Keep well. ❤
This Lady Right Here, Story Chasing Absolutely Love Her Channel ❤️
You seem so happy to be back near your sister. Life is a journey---enjoy the ride!
Hi
To heck with those people who are so mean and negative.
I respect your authenticity!
Living full time on the road is exhausting.
So many decisions just to handle basic living chores.
I’m happy you found a nice sticks and bricks!
Yes, I can see why being on the road full time could burn anyone out. Constantly having to worry about finding a place to stay and having to pay for every night. Safety, where to get internet, where to get food etc. Good job on finding the right mix. ps You have one of the best cameras ever. So clear.

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family all are doing? And how is the weather over there?
Heavens don’t apologize, no one else does. “You Got This”❤️👍
Your choices on furnishings are fabulous & your place is looking more & more comfortable & homey!

You're definitely a good person, Amber. Don't let people mess with you. 💙 Love the elephant statue.
You have gone through so much. It’s can be hard to see you suffer. My heart goes out to you. Love your living room. Very special. ❤
I hope your regret about sharing doesn't keep you from being the honest person you are. I relate to you so much more than others on youtube and I hope it stays that way!

Best formula we use is leave by 10 stop travel about 200 miles stop and spend 2 days in a spot. When you stop, explore the area and decide which direction you want to go when you leave. ❣️❣️❣️. Before long you’ll be ready to go again.
One of the best gifts to possess is the ability to see the end of something. You have that part of your intuition. It’s useless to fight it. Good for you. I actually like your channel more now that you’ve made the change. You’re honest…never apologize for that. ❤
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family all are doing? And how is the weather over there?
I don’t feel like you need to apologize for having anxiety. Your channel is about yourself and what you’re going through as your journey. The journey isn’t always going to be sunshine and roses. I appreciate all of the parts that you show us the viewers.
it’s always a good idea to have a respite place to recoup and just breathe . You are smart to realize that. 😊
Never been to Ikea. I had a friend who wanted to go there for a lunch break. Thanks for sharing your world with us. We will keep chasing your stories.
Awesome! Thank you!
I was just at the IKEA in my hometown last week. 😊It’s not far from my work so me and a coworker went to have lunch at the cafeteria. I had never been to the cafeteria before. Good food!
It makes perfect sense to have a home base. Even Bob Wells, sort of the king of nomads, owns property in Arizona. Nomadic fanatic just bought property in Arizona. Life is change.
Hi Amber, I had a few minutes to surf the net, and your video popped up. This is a fun video, just hanging out with you, shopping, being a tourist visiting the Buddhist Temple, eating yummy food, decorating. I feel more calm, hope you feel that way too. Deep breath, regularly, keep your peace. Peace of mind is golden. Your place is shaping up nicely. Live in happiness, promise yourself. 💞💞💞💞
If we don’t honor our needs, who will. I see a difference in you… it looks peaceful on you. Stay true to you Story Chaser.
Love that you have your spark back, Amber! I'm chasing mine right now and hoping to get it back in 2023. 🙃 I think life has repeatedly been slapping me in the face to say it's time for change, too. Now, to take that leap despite the fear and this crazy economy we find ourselves in!
I love my thuma bed! Glad you do, too. Happy you're doing better.
You are entitled to live your life in your way, people will always give an opinion whether asked for it or not. These channels enable people to see places and people they wouldn’t ordinarily meet. Be kind to yourself 🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏
For the last 11 or 12 years, I was the caregiver for my precious brother, Dad, & Mom. Losing them, & having no other family has been a very difficult & an emotional challenge. I was so wonderfully blessed to have such a loving family, I don't regret anything except that I couldn't do more & I couldn't fix their health. During my life, I have also lost many precious pets which was also very painful. They're not "just an animal" to me. But I am no different than millions of other people who've experienced similar losses, difficulties, health issues, etc. The gift of love we receive from family, friends, & pets is worth every tear, every broken heart, the loneliness, & all the healing time. At some point, we begin to let go of some of the pain so that the happy memories take over most of our thoughts. I'm on your side, & so are thousands of other people. You aren't alone. 😊🤗❤️
Wow. I have never been to an Ikea. That place looks huge!! You look great by the way!!
Thanks so much!
No thank you!
You be You🥰 I enjoy your chasing of stories in all manner of life exploration. Many blessings🙏
I recently bought a Thuma bedframe. It is the most WONDERFUL, quality bed frame ever!
I love those foldable wagons. We take them on trips. Very handy everywhere, especially at the beach.
What a gorgeous new life you younare building. May every second of it bring you meaning, joy and warmth.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family all are doing? And how is the weather over there?
I’m not allowed in IKEA without a responsible adult.
Lmao. Uh oh. I hope I didn’t cause a problem here. 😉
I love the colors you've chosen for your apartment....I can hear in your voice how happy you are with your decision. I'm happy for you. Take care. ❤️🌹
The dresser rug and couch look really good together😊
I think sharing that part of your life was really a good thing. It cuts through the “everything’s perfect in my life” facade which can often be portrayed on social media. That does a lot of harm to people too. More harm I would suggest than you sharing your real life challenges. Thank you for keeping it real and I think the situation you are in is perfect and would likely suit a lot of other people. Your true followers are those who watch the channel for you. I love where your at now and I’m looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2023. 🤗💖
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family all are doing? And how is the weather over there?
You DO have your spark back. 😊❤️. Now, pardon me while I rewind this to catch the name of that bed frame. OMG, love it!
Everything is coming together so nice...Everything looks beautiful. I fell in love with your new plates i love them! I've noticed how much calmer you are your relaxed and just enjoying life the way you want for a while. I like this part of your life but I also like the van life part too! But I know it's very hard being on the road all the time. No matter how you choose to do life I will still be following you. Just be safe at all times! Wishing you the best!! ❤🙏
I don't feel you need to apologize for sharing your feelings , anxiety and some of the tough things you went through . You are human and showing all sides of your life the good times and the tough times . The reality of life for everyone. I think it helps us viewers of your channel and also helps you as well , since we can comment and respond to you in a show of support of advice . Thank you for showing us the Temple . It's very beautiful. Your new place looks beautiful too. Thanks again Amber .
My kids got me one of those carts for Christmas. I love it.
Your little apartment is just perfect. I love your bed frame, and that seems to be the style right now seeing the wooden base. Your all good.
You do what you want to do, I was very happy to see you here today.
So glad you have your "SPARK" back again; you look so HAPPY and relaxed. I adore your content; I feel like I'm always watching a good friend as she continues her "Story Chasing".
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family all are doing? And how is the weather over there?
I found your videos in the beginning of 2022, and loved your honesty and vulnerability. Much better than artificial cheeriness. I love your channel. ❤️
to see you painting as you shared at the end............made me cry!
not to worry about those who left, FT vanlife now is precarious, at best, imho.....
i love to watch people grow and share their gifts! Thanks, Amber! xxx
You got this. You needed this, and you're doing it..
Whoop, Whoop...
Now enjoy it..... ✌️
I love this new adventure of living life. I was married for 37 years when my husband passed away. I had to find my new normal, which is so hard to do. I feel like you are doing the same thing that I am experiencing. Love to see the peace and happiness that shines through you. Gives me hope.
I am so sorry that you had such a hard time especially last year. It’s wonderful to see you at peace and I love your apartment and it’s a calm and relaxing home. When you are ready to go out on the road again you will be going with a new outlook especially knowing that you have family and your home to return to. blessings and peace to you 🙏🙏😊🥰
I know the feeling - travelling for long periods of time is exhausting because so many decisions need to be made. There is always the air of uncertainty even when you know where you are going. Most of the time I really enjoyed returning to work - because it was a relatively known environment. Sad but true. Retired now but still travel - but need to return to my home after about 4 weeks.
And can you give that recipe for those pickled? fermented? onions? Looks delish! 😋
The rug did put the two pieces together nicely. Good find.
Listen, you do you! Don’t worry what others say! Most of us love you and will watch all your adventures ! And you look so happy,and I’m so happy for you…😊
I can't imagine following someone for years and having them hide a sad time in their life and their temporary feelings. To out on a phony happiness all because real feelings might "trigger" somebody else. NO! Life is not like that. There are ups and downs and all that matters is being normally authentic. I'm glad you showed it all and your transitioning thru it the best way for you. Blessings Dear!
I used to take my mother to ikea for breakfast. She loved it better than McDonald’s breakfast. Seeing you eating there brought back memories:). Wish you warm and healthy in your new place and path!
You live your best life and we are here for you. Thank you for shaving it with us.
No regrets! You were still "Story Chasing." Not all chapters in our life are happy and carefree. You lived yours and shared the good the bad and the ugly. I am happy for you to be in a steady environment with family close by. (Especially after Lily) Thanks for continuing to take us on your life adventure. I love your new space and your bed looks sturdy (love the wagon) and could you possibly share your pickled red onion recipe? And what do you use it on?
Don’t apologize for being authentic. Also, love that cart 😊❤
So glad you are feeling better! This "story chasing" chapter is so much fun! May I please respectfully add if buying feather products please make sure feathers come from a cruelty free source? Some companies still support live plucking. 😢 Thank you so much for sharing your life! 💖
Keep changing....it's the best way to maintain a life worth living. Thanks for sharing!
I love IKEA, you can’t just nip in and out you have to do the whole shop. You look so relaxed and happy, love your videos ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you for letting us in you life. I love it. Best wishes
Glad you enjoy it!
Omg I’m so feeling your haircut! Dark hair is your look for sure! ❤
Amber, I think that you are very brave. You went on your journey instead of staying in a long lasting daily grind job. I myself worked at the same business for almost 35 years. Became a vacation traveler but dreamed of doing more. You seem like an interesting, fun & kind person. Plus, a dog lover. Like myself. I enjoy your RUclips stories! PS love your living room look!
Thank you so much!
Your life is coming together perfectly. You look happy and relaxed. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I don't think you need to apologise for any thing. Life as a whole is about changes, and you have to roll with it. You had a difficult time last year and you showed the true side of living on the road. Too many people assume its all the instagram pictures. Waking up to amazing views all the time the "honeymoon" aspect. You showing your truth would have helped more people than offending them. I suffer with depression and afew times have been stuck, your videos have helped me.
Love that rug...really ties things together in your living room!
I appreciate that you share the ups and downs of life.
I LOVE your rug, bed, and dishes!
Thank you for your vulnerability, and openness. And although you stated having triggered others anxiety.. I feel strongly that being open about mental health, vulnerable, authentic and open to discussion is really key in wellness with mental health, and is also key in public understanding... As mental health is often kept under wraps, or behind closed doors... And as a person with deep anxiety, that can be very isolating for me.. And some channels that are more open and honest help me feel connected, so thank you for telling your story authentically, and being yourself.
Wow I can't believe people are so judgmental. I love all your insights about things. Why can't we all show compassion instead. Anyway I love your choice of style for everything you've picked out for your new place so far. And if I didn't I would just shut my face. Lol! We all like and do what makes us happy and comfortable oh and hey you got this! Yes you do!
👍💝💕Awww thanks for sharing. Happy for you. 💝🤗💕
It's nice to see you feeling happy.
I’m glad you were honest about your journey, your anxiety, your story, and I’m very sorry you were judged harshly because you allowed us to share it all with you. I think you made the best decision for yourself to settle in one place for awhile. The fact that you recognized and acted on the need to start a new chapter shows that you are a smart and strong woman. I enjoy your channel and I look forward to following along on your new adventures!
Hi there from Australia. Life isn’t perfect and you are so right for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly. Had you only showed the good, your channel would only strive to give people false hope.
Thank you for all you do and good luck for 2023.
Omg I have chills I’m down the road!!!!
It is lovely to see you so happy. We lived in a van full time for two years then I needed a base. It was the best thing we did. We travel part time too. So happy for you
I love change. It's fun to do something new and different!! I like your new place. Sad that you lost viewers.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family all are doing? And how is the weather over there?
What a well-done video! Thanks for showing us the temple, taking us shopping, and the beautiful bed. You be you and talk your story. None of us are always joyful and happy. Going through things is life. Enjoy life and be you! Thanks for an amazing video!
I tune in to your videos because you are real & show the hard truth & feelings you deal with. This is true life. 99% of your videos are upbeat. As you go through life changing things I am happy to continue along the journey to see what's ahead!! Keep your chin up...No Regrets!
Hi there! Amber, you are enough!! You are perfection no matter what path you choose to take! You were not created to be the vessel for others sadness, disappointments or anger. I am glad to see you replace the darkness with hope and light. I’ve missed you❤️
Thank you for staying true to yourself!!❤
Amber I watch you because you're you. 💜
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family all are doing? And how is the weather over there?
That bed frame is awesome!
Isn’t it?? Just love its simplicity.
