    You being home schooled is a big plus Emily. Kids would learn so much more and worthwhile life stuff than they could learn in a public school. Kudos to your parents for doing the best thing.

    Awesome interview Emily.
    I love your outlook on life. It has been refreshing to see it in action during the videos that you have made.
    I admire your bravery for sharing your life with us in your videos. I especially like that you set boundaries for the viewers and you don't cave on those boundaries. It keeps us all in a healthy place.
    I respect and honor you and Aaron a lot. Please keep being you.

    Loved the video.
    I hated school from the 1st grade, I too was a hippie, dropped out in the 11th grade, got my GED, went to welding school, always had a job of some sort. Somehow, I managed to retire from Dow Chemical at 55 years old, debt free, own two homes and land in the hill country of Texas. Not bragging, just pointing out that you do not need an expensive degree to be successful. Life IS like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are going to get.

    I had a very unstable childhood. My freshman year of high school was so overwhelming that I would wake up every morning vomiting. I literally couldn't function. I ended up dropping out of high school during my first semester. I work hard and was laser focused. Around 12 yrs later I went on to become an assistant manager of a large company that did around $16 million a year in sales. I managed over $3 million in inventory and was over around 20 people. It wasn't until I was about 48, that decided to get my GED. Despite what all I had accomplished, it just felt like a part of my life that I needed to correct. I'm so thankful that I did, but make no mistake. I worked with a LOT of people with degrees. Your level of education does not define you. You're motivation and willingness to learn certainly does.

    Emily, if I may call you that...This video is the finest one you have ever done that I have seen.(I have seen them all..including your fashion stuff). You opened up for what I think is the first time..Don't change a thing..Europe..I took my new, 1971 H-D XLCH from England to North Africa and back..Do that Europe trip !!!

    My father was raised in an orphanage, he went to achool up til they showed him the door. He not only made his way in this world, he did pretty damn good, but my mom got sick and it all went away. Thung is, he did all that with thoae tools that he learned AFTER his formal schooling ended. You're doing just fine, thank you very much. You're articulate, knowledgeable of things things you talk about and you've demonstrated your capabilities quite easily. Congratulations young lady!

    Title is slightly misleading... being homeschooled and traveling the world are possibly your best teachers. Your mom is awesome. Getting a GED or diploma teaches you how to follow someone else's rules and how they want you to think and behave. You have learned how to be yourself and how to succeed. I have a high school diploma and I'm one of the least smart people I know. Not dogging on myself just stating that it took me years to realize I had to figure out how to think for myself rather than having someone else tell me how and what to think.

      Formal education is not the ticket to success. Hard work, focus on clear goals, a dose of luck, and faith are the ingredients to success.
      Ps
      Having fun and not taking yourself too seriously also helps.
      Have fun, keep moving forward, and don’t let the devil get ya.

    I have friends of all kind rich, poor, middle class, black, white, European and Asian.
    I treat all of them the same and respect them for who they are.
    Learn to love yourself and love others.

    Not sure if you are still boating in your Bayliner as I just started viewing. Got a suggestion. When towing your little canoe, I’d try using a bridle set up. Two lines from canoe bow w/one to starboard cleat and one to port. It will keep your foldaboat centered behind the boat. Plus Ave an extra line for security. Just Sayin.

    I think it's a good thing that you didn't follow the "normal" routine of grade school then college, etc.. Because of that you've had experiences that you wouldn't have had, and that's allowed you to be the rebel that you are, following your heart always in search of a new adventure. Obviously I don't know you, but that's just the feeling I get from watching you. And I use the word "rebel" in a very positive way ! Rock on young lady !

    Maybe you should be a "mystery shopper" I did that once, it makes you feel powerful and now days, you could secretly record it, but not sure it would be legal to post without permission unless you concealed their identity... Great wisdom in what you would tell your younger self! Never give anyone else permission to ruin your day or make you angry as they will forget about it and yet they are still living rent free in your head. Be satisfied and happy with what you have, not what other's have.
    Mood Music.. I was a teen in the 60's, what a time to love music, as it had feeling in it... My parents knew how every date went... after I got home from a date and put on a record with a hard beat like "Teen Beat" by Sandy Nelson, it didn't go so well, but if it was Paul Anka "Put Your Head on my Shoulders" or similar then it went really well. I didn't realize I did that until they told me much later.
