You’re a beautiful person inside and out. Hang with people that celebrate you, not with people that just tolerate you
Great words of advice for everyone 💛
I hear that 🙌
@@annauncharted The Four Agreements. First: “Be impeccable with your word”: Impeccable = Without Sin, Say only what you mean.
Second: “Don’t take anything personally”: Understand that other’s words are the product of their domesticated lives.
Third: “Don’t make assumptions”: Be brave to ask questions.
Four: “Always do your best”: Your best will change from moment to moment.
There is no need to care what others think of you, they need to care about themselves not others! Have a great time!
I'm sorry you lost your Dad, Anna, He did a fantastic job raising you into the well-adjusted lady you now are. He will always be with you.
Well done👏
Thank you for the video. You're very thoughtful beautiful person. I wish you well always.
Hey sweetheart, with age comes wisdom and we older guys don't have the energy to put up with other people's bullshit. Don't pay them any attention. Lol,love your journey and please be safe.
You are a free spirit, pleasing yourself where you travel in your van, loving books and the literary arts. My twin sis and I were adopted, too. What matters is where you enjoy going, being happy in yourself and those you meet along the way. It was a lot different for me. I have an MBChb degree and was a medical officer in the Royal Navy. But you, you should enjoy whatever. I think you are amazing, hugely lovable, trustworthy and educated. Stay safe vanlifing. *Hugs* ~Wendi
Thanks Wendi 🥰 I appreciate you 🙏 and thanks for sharing (I really love when y’all feel comfortable enough to share a bit about yourselves with me too 😊)
Hope all is well ✨💛
@@annauncharted Alas we have Covid, not feeling great. ...we've two hobbies: Blacksmithing (forging gold prospecting tools) and sniping/crevicing in our gold-rich river in Cornwall where we have an old farmhouse. I'm "non-dom" nowadays, long since departed Monaco cuz we can't stand tourists, and the horrific expense of living there (presently 55K per sq metre!) Originally I was aboard a Type 45, Daring-class destroyer where they nicknamed me 'The Blonde Bombshell' ! 🤣 Single now, no longer dating since my ex hit Molly, my daughter awarded her 2 black eyes; she now resembles a panda! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Very cool. Glad you were able to experience a little bit of Florida. I saw a red hightop in Northwest Florida this past weekend and thought to myself... I wonder if that's Anna. haha. Enjoy yourself, and I appreciate your content. Peace.
What a big growth spurt for you Anna! What others think of you is their business. What you think of yourself is the only thing that matters. Love yourself and feed others from the overflow.
The key to the "awe fuck it" approach to life is to have a solid head on your shoulder. Itll work out if you make calculate "yolo's."
You are doing so well on the road. I wish I has to guts to hit the road like you and Mariah A.
“A place of self acceptance “
I love that ! Beautiful talk 😁
Wishing you wonderful travels ! Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏
Yes, being accepted is something we all want. But we won’t all be accepted by everyone. Even being as kind and caring as you can be, there will be those who don’t accept you for who you are. Just keep being yourself. Yep, it’s their problem, not yours.
You are learning so many valuable things way before I did. I didn’t learn to just say “Screw it. I’m just going to be who I am, and not worry what others think of this”, until much later in life.
You are so precious….thanks for sharing! PS - glad you got your van fixed! That was a journey as dealing with mechanics usually is - male or female. 🥴
Hello Anna 👋. Great video and an important message. I agree with you: what other people think of us, is none of our business. This is what I always say. And most of the time they even don't care about us or what we are doing. We are not here to please everybody, not possible anyway. It's all in our imagination/mind. I realized it late, but thankfully not too late 😊. Thank you. Take care and stay safe 🙏
"We are not here to please everybody, no possible anyway" -truer words never spoken.
I think I spent a good chunk of my years growing up thinking that this was possible and I’m glad to have figured out it’s wasted effort.
We’re all on a path and it’s nice when others happen to be in step or cross yours for awhile but no one can expect that everyone is gonna walk the same way as you 😝
Thanks Anita 😊💛
I use this same quote!
🎉❤ FIRST 🎉 from Santa Barbara CA 😊
Edit after viewing the video:
Who needs Netflix when we have AnnaUncharted?
👍 Video editing superb 👍
👍 Storyline 👍
❤ Heart to Hearts 💖
🎉 I smiled biggly through out the video 😊🎧
Thanks Annauncharted. It's a super sweet sharing from Florida to Georgia. You are doing great and you will travel far.
it's only 3 bucks for that pretty amazing yellow top (???) 😮 waaah. You looked amazing in yellow especially with long beautiful hairs.
See you in the next video 🎉
💃🌺🚛
p.s. I see myself as a gypsy for being uprooted from my birth country (not by choice but by war), I am still sensitive in "fitting in". It's very nice that you brought this issue up so gently here. Bravo 👋
The juxtaposition of you just “livin’ and vibin’” at the end of the video and the constant barrage of insects in the bloops seconds later made my day lol. I guess they call Florida “The Swamp” for a reason.
I love the awesome aura that shines throughout the video!!!
I love your new shirt! And I totally understand being proud of thrifting something cool 😎
Doing stuff alone in public can take some getting used to. Although I no longer have reservations about eating alone in a restaurant during a trip or shopping day, or going to a movie, walking in the forest. Doing stuff alone can be so relaxing. Like museums, where you can just go at your own pace and listen to an audio guide. The first time I visited a museum by myself, was when I first started to really appreciate museums. The experience was so different from high school trips where I was going through the museum, but not paying close attention to every single thing. Possibly because this "wasn't cool". Although there are also things I like to share with others. But being single for a long time, I no longer want to wait for others so I can do stuff with someone else. But I think I've found a good balance between solo and social stuff.
Kayaking can be so nice! And relaxing if you're alone, just drifting along. I have an inflatable kayak that I've also used to collect trash from a (sort of) lake. I got the idea from an organization that offers free kayak trips to tourists that agree to collect trash out of the water. I thought it was such a cool idea, I had to steal it😁
I have spent decades doing the activities I love the most alone, and enjoying my life. Often I wear headphones (with wires, so people see it and leave me alone), listening to music and being given space by other people. That is one technique I use (also, on planes). Or, I carry my camera (Canon EOS 80D) and people know that I am cool and not a threat. Being a dude and walking a trail alone produces fear in other people, especially women, who often don't look up and zoom past me. It's sad, but a reality, that so many people are afraid of others. A final thought...when I hike with other people, I find myself having to be a tour guide, answering questions and explaining the variety of wildlife we encounter. By myself, I live in my own thoughts and talk to myself, and maybe that's weird but I am enjoying my life. So, don't be afraid to be by yourself kayaking or hiking or watching a movie or eating lunch at a picnic table. As Anna said, "no one gives a crap" so just enjoy your moments. Fyi, I own a kayak and it is so much fun (as I live so much water, rivers, lakes, and the ocean).
Well Anna, you ought to be doing just that, being yourself, you are a special person being adopted as you were chosen, and that you had wonderful parents bringing you up so no matter what other assume about you only you know you, so head high and up theirs. You’re right to live every day as if it’s your last, well done getting to where you are emotionally 🌹🐞😊🌈
Thanks for the back story, so thankful you were adopted and able to live the life you lead now. I remember your very early videos and you were feeling sad and lonely. It takes time but you found your community and can be happy alone or with friends. Kayaking looked so peaceful. I hope your mum is doing well, take care!
Hey Jackie 🙂 thank you for all the kind words 💛 you’re totally right in that things just take time to shift and change and while yes I’ve experienced sad and lonely times…those periods have helped me become who I am today (and I can deeply appreciate the wonderful/sweet moments in life even more because I’ve felt their opposite) my mum is doing well ☺️ thank you 🙏
Hope all is well with you and yours 💛✨
It's such a liberating feeling.
I just missed you down in FL.. went down there for my grandmothers passing. This is it. 💜 would love it if you made it to bonnaroo in Tennessee next month. It would be an amazing experience for you… like a brain massage. But also.. while you’re on the east coast, please check out West Virginia!
You’re amazing and this video couldn’t have come at a better time. This is my favorite one thus far! Thank you for your wisdom and introspection. It’s so relatable!!!!
Awe thanks so much :)
I appreciate your kind words and also thanks so much for sharing feedback on why you enjoyed it (b/c of the way RUclips just is-it can sometimes be hard to know if a video I post is helpful or meaningful or if it at all resonates with you guys as viewers…unless a person comments a few thoughts haha) anyway so thank you to you too 🙏😊
I work for a famous Mouse in Central Florida. However, I have been in Florida since 1977 and wish other people would take the time to see the Real Natural Florida. Like Crystal River, St. Johns River, Blue & Alexander Springs as well as our Ocala National Forest. Bless You, for slowing down a little and taking time to let your soul breathe with the crystal waters! This was my fav show so far. I am new to your channel.
Your a beautiful person. If you get any negativity from anyone just simply erase them from your life. Great video. ✌
Love you Anna and will watch the video as soon as I get data tonight have fun and be careful
People are always going to find fault with what they don’t understand. Being free and having different beliefs scares some. I like being alone most of the time and beating the system is kinda cool . You rock my fellow weirdo keep it coming you inspire me.😎
Awe I love this so much! Thanks for the boost and encouragement (idk if y’all know how much your kind words keep me grounded and motivated at the same time) 😝 thank you 🙏
Bravo, Anna. Some people take a major part of life to learn to stop worrying about what other people think.
During childhood we’re trying to please parents and teachers. Then during teen years, what peers think, and the resultant peer pressure take control. With luck and a bit of work we reach the point at which we realize, what we think about ourselves is more important than what others think about us.
You discovered why I moved from Florida, where I was born, and Georgia, where I lived most of my life. Flying bugs!! I love Arizona! One more thing, I used those green disposable propane tanks that were 2 for $7. I just saw they are almost that for one!!!! You might stock up on your stove butane cans.
live who you are ! so happy you are learning this important lesson.
Totally agree Anna :) Facts 💯 Keep up the good work! Stay strong!
Anna, I stopped on the highway to watch! It inspired me to keep going and never look back! You are an inspiration!
Awee! You rock! I appreciate you and just know that y’all’s kind words mean so much to me and you too keep me so inspired ☺️
Heyyyyyy Anna :) so good to see you again in this new video. Always uplifting and full of wise words! I appreciate you! Much success and blessings always😍
heyy Vanessa 🥰 thank you thank you! much success, love and blessings to you too 😊✨
Hello Anna Got to say I like this video your getting better and better at vlog-ing. Have fun this week and Take care of you.
Thank you 😊 I will admit-the creative juices were definitely flowing for this video and I was just going with it-felt like in some ways I was just along for the ride myself 😝
Wishing you well and remember to take care too ☺️💛
You're unique and that's cool 🎶 "I do music notes just in memory of my son".
Wooo! More Anna Uncharted and that INCREDIBLY soothing voice! I needed my weekly fix! Thanks for sharing!
I didn't know that you were adopted! I think that's a beautiful story especially in terms of how you ended up so well adjusted, wise, and persevering! Love the photography, writing etc!!! Your new microphone sounds great...
I absolutely love your video’s! I will be 67 in August, and still have my Dad. You reminded me how lucky I am. Thank You for the gift of your time. Thank You for being the Giver You are
Awe 🥹 your words make me teary in the best possible way. This is very sweet and thank you so much for sharing-it means more than you know…much love to you both 💛
Everyone needs to learn that lesson. Those closest to you know your value and worth, but in the end, all that counts is how you feel about yourself.
I love your vlog so awesome to see your face, keep it going! Been following for awhile now and I look so forward to seeing your next video.
I would totally listen to you while working. You got a great voice for a podcast series.
Haha awe thank you! Kind of you to say.
I feel like podcasts/podcasting is the "new thing" (like when blogging was a huge thing in the early 2000s and the internet blew up) and everyone’s got one (sometimes I feel that way about RUclips too 😅) …maybe some day but we shall see 😝
Love the video. I was adopted as well. I felt the same way. Being Asian and growing up in the Midwest. I do feel it gave me a much different perspective and I too am not afraid to do things on my own. Im happy to see that your living the life that you want. I think that's all anyone can hope for. The best is yet to come
Indeed, the best is yet to come ☺️ also thank you so much for sharing-feeling a bit like I’ve got a kindred spirit out there who understands ✨💛🙂
You're awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Golf cart parking had me laughing out loud. Thank you. Glad you took some time for yourself, friends and family.
You are certainly are living and vibe in, so happy for you.
I always wanted to do it. The world and life is so small.
This was a beautiful video, very reflective. So glad you decided to stop worrying about what others might be thinking of you. As you said, everybody is so busy thinking about themselves. I laughed at your wrestle with the bugs. I lived in Florida for many years and the insects reign and the beaches are spectacular. I did learn that living on the East coast was less buggy than the West coast. Happy that you were adopted and given the chance to be who you are. I admire your parents and so sorry you lost your Dad. I have a very dear friend that adopted one baby girl from China and one from Thailand. Those two girls have grown into wonderful smart loving caring women just like you. Stay safe.
It gets easier to stop caring what other people think about you, once you accept that most people really don’t think about you all that much anyway.
That’s brilliant, and so true!
Great video Anna. So nice to see you so happy. I live in Florida (west coast) and I love it! I’m traveling throughout the west in my van right now though. You are one of my mentors in van travel and van life so thank you! I’m having a blast! Heading toward Arizona in the next few days. So excited!
Ahhh enjoy Arizona!!! Sending you much love and all the best road vibes to you 😊 🗺 🌵
You're amazing Anna :) It's nice to see you in a warm place after all that cold. If you ever come to Oregon I would love to show you the hidden gems in Ashland!
omg I LOVE ASHLAND! 😍 oh and now I’m missing it thinking of the time I was last there. Please tell me that one coffee shop is still there…Noble? Noble something…??? ☕️
Oh man my heart is pining for the PNW suddenly 😅😂 🌲 🌲 🌲
@@annauncharted Noble coffee is sooo good!! Yes it's still there! I'm so happy you've been, it's such a special place. Next time you go, I recommend Toothpick Trail for beautiful views of the town and amazing foliage, Emigrant Lake (the cemetery pull-out is one of my favorites, as well as the pull-out right after that), and Oredson Todd/White Rabbit Trails! Dobra Tea is also a nice chill teahouse that you can stay at for hours and they don't mind :)
Hi Anna, I am also a transracial adoptee. Grew up mostly in communities that lacked any diversity except for me. It was hard when I was younger but as you said time changes our outlook on life.
Hey Debbie ☺️ I do so totally relate in my own way…thanks for sharing with me. Feeling like I got another kindred spirit out there ✨ sending much love to you 💛
Wonderful episode...The beach looks soooooo nice...I love Florida, I've spent more time there than in any other state (as an adult)...This is it indeed...Enjoy the moment(s)...👍😎👍
When little, it is drilled into us that we make a good impression. As we progress into teen and 20s years, it is a stressor. By the late 30s, people are coming to the middle and end of child raising and they see light at the end of the 'what others think' tunnel. When you get to be my age, 62 (you know, about three days shy of the age of petrified wood), you no longer care. In fact, you sometimes look for opportunities to shock people. LOL
Ahhh I LOVE this! Yessss!
also omg 😅 you are cracking me up! 62 is NOT THAT old (all relative right 🤪😜) but seriously-I can’t stop laughing 😂
Im also really really appreciating your comment, "you sometimes look for opportunities to shock ppl" 😋 I love this so much! Yes!
you are so refreshing. I am adopted too! yes, wanting to belong, and knowing I am a lost bird has been a path.
Seriously, your videography has gotten gorgeous. You're really good at this. And yes your life is weird, but in an awesome way. Much envy coming from this direction. Glad you had fun in Florida, that's what this place is good for, but you get enough of it pretty fast. Congrats on leaving it all behind. Especially the heat and the bugs.
LOVED IT! THanks so much and yes, I remember you sharing your Tat, and was really intriged by what it said, or translations.. I had to LOL about your not caring what others think, reminded me of HR getting my boss at the time to change records as I had checked Caucasion box on forms years ago.....ALL THE BEST and good for you! Well done indeed! Go Anna! Cheers :)
Anna thanks for sharing! It’s hard to not worry about what other people think … but when you do master that it’s a freeing feeling for sure! You truly are a beautiful sole!!! ❤️ and the golf cart thing is a Arizona thing too!!! 😂
It’s an Arizona thing too??? 😅 oh my lol
I realize if you just grow up around it I’m sure it’s normal and nothing funny at all-but having grown up NOT in AZ or FL, I can’t help but chuckle because my brain finds it cute and funny 😜😂
@@annauncharted I’m born and raised in Washington state and moved to Az in 2020… we thought it was funny 😂 now it’s the normal.
Another great video! Just found your channel and you’ve got some great insight for a young woman, so good on your parents for that! I don’t think we can ever really say, I don’t care what others think, but we can definitely not let it bother us. Water off a ducks back so to speak. Florida is a hard state to leave, me being from MI it’s so sunny here, I’m loving it, glad to see you are too! Happy travels!
Hi Ms. Anna! I love your personality! I agree with you, it doesn't matter what people think of you. I think you are a Lady of quality! You are funny, smart, brave, and absolutely beautiful! Inside and out! If you ever need a friend to chat with I'm here! More videos please!
Thank you for sharing! Love your wisdom, vibe and sense of humor 😄 Just discovered you a week ago and your videos are so refreshing 😊
Awe thanks so much! Also…welcome! I’m glad you’re here 😊
Hey Anna 👋
I like to remind myself that what other people think of me is none of my damn business. Easier said than done, but it totally gets easier with age (I'm 34 now), plus your lifestyle of not having to meet expectations of other people in your daily life would help (I think?).
Totally don't mind waiting longer for a video especially when you produce something like this, another gem 🙌
Hey Jen ☺️ thank you so much! I really enjoyed making this one and was excited to share it when I did finally finish it (even though it took a little longer-I think in the end it couldn’t have turned out the way it did if I tried to rush the video out you know?) 😝
That's a great way to say it: "I like to remind myself that what other people think of me is none of my damn business."
Well done video love the bloopers !! I guess I'm lucky I've never gave a blankety blank what people think about me. I am an odd ball to my family because I never did the expected things like have kids buy a house etc. Life on my terms 🙃. And yes each day that goes by is one day closer to the end
I realized I no longer cared what strangers thought of me when I was in my mid 50’s, sitting at a bar and I halfway noticed a couple of young girls looking at me and whispering between themselves and the bartender. The bartender finally came over and said the girls were wondering why an old guy like me was still very muscular. I told the bartender to tell them that lifting weights was the only thing I had to do while I was locked up in prison. The girls won’t make eye contact with me after that. Anna, I want you to know that I’ve never been in jail, not that I care what you think of me. (Not) 😉
Lol 😂 you got me rolling with laughter on this one Greg (thank you for this funny story)
LMAO great story man.
Wow Greg . I'll have to remember that one. Bet that was 🤣 as heck.
Thanks for the 😂!
I think you are pretty together for a youngin ☺️ I can relate in many way's Anna ! Once again, amazing video, a lil secret about me. I looked very oriental when I was born, many thought I was adopted from China 😅 Haters and mockers are everywhere! Roll it down your back, I really need a beach ⛱ Much love from Texas 💞
Awe much love right back Debbe 💕☺️ thank you 🙏 ((hope you can find your way to a beautiful beach soon 🏖😋))
First of all your beautiful. The fact that your different makes you more unique. We touched on this a few videos ago. You gotta live your life for you. My daughter is about to be 18. She left my house in December to be back in another state with her boyfriend's family. I gave up trying to keep her here for my own sanity. I see her breaking her back trying to please everyone and sadly she looks miserably. It hurts me that I see her self sacrificing herself but she has to learn. My words are not sinking in. But I wish she would see the only person you need to make happy is you. I kind of went on a rant I'm sorry. Take time to pray when you feel stuck. Your never alone. See you on the next one!!! ❤
Glad to hear this...Never worry what haters and others think...Live your life as you see fit!!!
Well it was definitely worth the wait, love this video and the editing 🥰🥰
Awe I’m glad 😊 I really loved the way this video turned out too! 🥰
Don't let people get you down ur a sweet and loving person 😘💕
You are on a great adventure. It is good to do when you are young. I thought when I retired that I would do something like this. But when I got to that age - there were parents to take care of. Then Covid hit. And other things get in the way - among them just being old. Do your adventure when you are young, free, and healthy. You will never regret this experience - even the hard times will be teachers to you. Safe journeys!
I gotta admit I looked you up and you have quite the life. Very interesting! I know you don’t care what others think of you and you shouldn’t, but I have to say I admire you, love your videos and I think you are brave and wise. Thanks for the great video! ❤️
I could listen to you for hours and hours on end😊 thank you 💚
There is nothing more freeing than letting go of caring how you are perceived by others. So glad to see you walking in that freedom. Loved seeing your beautiful adventures and hearing your insightful thoughts. It’s so nice to see you back on the road again!
Anna, Thanks for sharing your story with us & for just being you!!💗💕💖 I wish you safe travels & more fun adventures!! We love to tag along with you!!💗💕💖
Thank you Laura 🥰 I love that y’all tag along with me ❤️ feels more fun this way I think!
Hope you’re having a wonderful week 💕
BEST 👏 VIDEO 👏 YET👏 thank you for sharing with us and I'm glad you enjoyed your week off. Hope the family you visited is doing super awesome!!!
As always, I watched this with my son and his newest phrases are now "gimme the bloops" and "the bugs bro, I can't" lol the last one is simultaneously the funniest and longest sentence he's ever said. Thank you for making our day ❤🥰
🥹 Luna I LOVE this! My heart is feeling full and melting at the same time 💛 thank you thank you 🥰 sending so much love to you and your son ❤️
@@annauncharted we're sending just as much love back at ya 🥰
🇬🇧 Welcome to the Great Awakening, Anna.
It's good to escape the identity politics paradigm whereby "I label you as x therefore I hate you for y", or, "you look like this therefore you have these beliefs".
As the British say, it's all bollocks.
Your a very insightful young lady , Im a mother of 5 and I’m still learning , and I love watching and learning from your videos 🇦🇺michelle
Hey Michelle 🥰 Wow that is incredible and amazing to me…a mom to 5?!?! To me, you are a super woman 💛 much love to you and your family ☺️
You can only live your life, and it’s the only one you’ll ever get, so please don’t apologise for enjoying yourself. Enjoying the videos 👍❤️❤️😎
Hey Anna!
Glad to see your taking your own advice, have as much fun as you can along the way!
AS A MAN IN MY LATE 70'S I CAN TELL YOU THIS. LIFE IS SHORT . TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE . I WISH YOU LOVE AND HAPPINESS . THE TWO THINGS MONEY CANNOT BUY .
I am totally loving this new editing style! This is a great video! Your skills have grown over these many months and it shows! Great job! And of course I love the message. We could all examine our desire to belong vs fitting in.
Loved this one ! the way you shot it ….the content ..the sharing …the music ..your authenticity !! What a week ! So glad you learned to not care what other’s think . When one cares what other’s think , they are giving them control of their life. Keep being your free self ! THIS IS IT ! This is where I disagree with you , if you learned at such a young age that THIS IS IT you are way ahead of the majority of people , not behind. Some people never learn or they are too afraid to risk . Some people learn or don’t learn for the reasons you said . I was much older than you when I realized THIS IS IT , we only have so much time before we pass . You are very fortunate to learn that lesson at such a young age !! Excellent video with 2 deep life changing lessons ! One of your best ! I remember another video where you were annoyed by bugs before you got your screens ! you’re funny 😆!! Laughter is the best medicine :)
Hey Linda 😊 thank you so much for all these wonderful words and for sharing your thoughts with me! I love reading your guys’ comments so much! 💛
I agree with you, laughter is a fantastic medicine…idk if it’s something learned or just in a person but I find myself laughing a lot 😅😂 at happy things, silly things, ridiculous things-honestly even absurd things lol 🤷🏻♀️ idk haha
Once again a wonderful video. As someone with a beautiful niece adopted from China, your story hits home. Thanks. 🙏🏽❤️🚐
Anna, would you have done this if your were not adopted by American family?
1st- Growing up in a small town with anything "unusual" in your upbringing/lifestyle gives you a bit of that feeling of "everyone watching" for better or worse. For me it was losing my mom and later working toward a certification where there were VERY few women. As in I was the only one in any of my courses. Not the first, but always the only. 2nd- I LOVE kayaking! I just discovered that I can technically fit our kayak inside my Yukon. Not comfortably, but it DOES fit. (I also just got a bed in it! so I may just have to figure out how to get it on top a bit easier)
You are quite right - small towns just bring different vibes for sure! 😝 Congrats on getting that kayak to fit-honestly impressive 😅 I’m still working out in my head if it’s worth keeping my bed in my van or if I should just replace it with a kayak at this point 😂 lol jk)
@@annauncharted Lol! I really should figure out an easier way to put it on top, but taking it down always makes me super nervous cause I'm pretty short! Eventually I'll likely get one of the fancy roof racks that hinge.
You have such a wonderful personality, All the best to you!
Thanks for sharing Anna, you are sweet! Bugs chased me out of Florida! I pulled my socks on in the dark morning and they were full of fire ants! ouch, gone to Ohio, no bugs here yet!
Oh man not the fire ants!!! 😬 Dude bugs, are chasing me outta FL too so fast haha 😅😂
I came across your video, and you reminded of me when I was 25, I am 60 now. When I was 25 I got up and left for Europe, I spoke no German or French, but I do speak Spanish that helped. But I went alone and at times I was alone. I learned a lot about myself, and like you say you just go through the tough parts. That trip gave me confidence in myself and the ability to not to care of what others think. Love your perspective. Great Videos!! Be fearless, like you are!
Hey Anna, thanks for sharing ur journey
Have fun n take care.
I love the clips at the end with the bugs swarming you. So funny and relatable! It’s the same here in Nova Scotia this time of year. So glad you are having a great time. Keep smiling! 😊
You were "neh-vhurrr" out of place, Never !!! I`m glad that you were placed on my feed. U & your Journey are Wayyy Kool. Thx a Ton for the Post.
Here's to enjoying each unique moment that will never be repeated. We think a lot about the future when all we truly have is now. Glad you took time for yourself
"We think a lot about the future when all we truly have is now." 💜 Yes! I’m very grateful this has sunk in earlier in life rather than later.
Hope all is well with you ☺️✨🙏
You mean to say you have a pet bug called dude.......that's amazing how you tamed the wild......lol.
Anna every seven years or go through a mental, physical, &spiritual change.
To be honest if we as people don't then we just don't grown.
This has happened numerous times in your life ,its just the first time you 've realised it.
Stay safe ,and my prayers to you mother.
this one hits really differently…one word=my tribe..wishing you the best of everything.
I find what you shared very relatable even though I’m decades older than you. We have similar beginnings (adopted at a young age, born in another country, lived in an orphanage the first several years of life). I, too, wondered where I fit in life & in the world I live in. I worried about others’ opinions. Your insights are wonderful. You’re figuring out things significantly sooner than I. You inspire me to be ok being me no matter your age. Thank you! 💜🙏🏼
"livin' & vibin" new Moto - love it!
The earlier in life you can stop caring what others think of you, the happier and more successful your life will be. I was in my 50's when I figured it out. You are waaaaaaay ahead in the game! You are doing so well!
Yep, that's what you're doing today! No, it's not just you. You are profoundly insightful. Love your message.
So right. And your self-awareness and wisdom is independent and confident. Thank you.
As an adopted Virgo myself I can relate, in my van headed for a long drive to Alaska to beat the Florida heat . My pops lives in NSB great little surf town also FYI shark bite capital of the world. Thanks for the inspiration one day I’ll have the courage to start a channel myself drive safe and hope to cross paths one day . Mahalo
You’re headed to Alaska?!?! Brilliant idea! Ive never been but honestly-it sounds like the way to go. It’s time to leave FL now at the very least…that’s for sure! 😝
Also-just know I’m sending all the positive vibes and encouragement your way! You’ll make a channel when you’re ready and on your own time 😊 ((it’s also great fun to make videos just for yourself to look back on too btw 🙃))
So good. It has been a big struggle in my life to choose my direction and not care so much about what other people think of me. I'm getting lot's from watching your videos. I don't know of many people who are sharing of themselves so honestly and authentically. It makes such a difference for me, and I think it makes a big difference to all who watch your videos.
"This is it" sounds simple, but it is a deep insight that takes many people decades to understand.
Well, you better care what I think of you…lol. And I think you are a really wonderful and so delightful person. Your videos always bring a smile to my face. So thank you and safe travels, Anna. Chet, Roanoke, Virginia
Haha thanks Chet 😅 you’re cracking me up. I do appreciate your words and thank you for a fun laugh this morning 😂
I was an outsider too... grew up as a little girl...mixed girl....black girl with a very redheaded Irish mom in fort Laramie, Wyoming...I too felt out of place. Never seeing anyone like me or my siblings either. Then at 13 moved to Hayward California...right next to Oakland in the hood to be with my Dad. So yeah I get the feelings, been there and done that...I DEF don't care about what anyone says, thinks or anything of that matter. Those experiences build us into the folks we are. I am proud of who I am and everything I have been through. No testimony without the test. What a beautiful thing to be so exotic and different.
