    When I was a kid growing up in Austin, my Mom and I had a tradition for several years of going on a mini-vacation to N. Padre Island between Christmas and New Years. Great walks on the beach, hunting for seashells, eating seafood* in Corpus. Fun times!

    Funny story. When I was younger and went to the river with friends. I put a tramp stamp temporary tattoo on and walked around in my bikini. Some guys were laughing as I walked by. My friend started laughing and showed me that half of my tattoo had slid off. I had my belly button and nose pierced at the time and I’m so glad those things were all temporary because I’m no longer that “cool” person. It’s nice to have a clean slate. I love your attitude and sass.

    No a tattoo won’t make you “cooler”. Those are just art expressions. You are already cool. Your attitude, how you treat yourself and others is cool. No tattoo can do that. ❤

    Shoes off ❤, connecting with mother earth through grounding is amazing. Even for just 15min will help with mood, body and sleep ❤ especially at the beach in the sand.
    Safe travels and great having you back.

    Merry Christmas Alyssa and an amazing new years soon. I’m a 68 year old male and this past year I have been experiencing a great deal of anxiety. Not really sure what it’s all about when I’m working through it and it’s OK. You’re a Videos have an amazingly common effect on me. I love where you go. I love the way you talk soft and low very soothing. Your adventures remind me of my younger years. I was somewhat of a nomad myself. I enjoyed getting away for long periods of time. Spent a lot of time on the East Coast in North Carolina spend time in Southern California and in the Baja not crazy about the hot weather, I guess that’s why I live in Montana Now. I live in the mountains about 40 miles from any major shitty in Montana, which there isn’t a lot of to start with, but I love my life here my time alone, my home in the mountains with my wood stoves in the property that I’ve turned into a home now I was a six-year-old Doberman her name is Apollo. He’s my soulmate now as well as a couple, feral cats and live on the property as well. Thank you for taking us on a journey each week. I look forward to your new videos upcoming as far as a tattoo thing goes. You’ll like them or not. I have several of my own pieces of art each one says something about my life. I even have a tombstone. I know that might be a little morbid, but on it it says falling down is an accident staying down as a choice. The choices we have are amazing and you’re as symbol of your choices that you’re making. Thanks again.

      I love your approach and how you live life. Hang in there, the anxiety can be managed. Either talking to someone or some meds to “take the edge off”. There are so many answers and you have to find the right answer for yourself. I trust and hope you find your calm again. Anxiety is no joke. Meditation and yoga and earthing has helped me. So much negative in the world, don’t let it get to you. Love and light to you you beautiful soul 🫶🏼🙏🏼💗🫂

    Alyssa. Glad to see you happy. Merry Christmas to you too and a Happy New Year. I think you can stay 14 days in a row at Padre Island then you have to move. I guess you could go to South Padre. I think you can stay there for 14 days, then you could go back to Padre Island. Maybe. Not sure on that. As far as tattoos, I can’t think of anything I would want permanently printed on me. After the new wore off, I would regret it. But you have my support whatever you do. May God bless and protect you in all your travels.

    Don’t do it. Tattoos are not always cool when you get sick of it, and can’t remove it fast enough. Being cool doesn’t come from a tattoo, it’s the person wearing the tattoo. You are just fine the way you are! Hope this helps you decide. ❤ Sending love and blessings to you on this journey. It will get better, promise.

    I enjoy your channel a lot! About the tattoo question I would never let other people that you don't know make a decision for you! If you want a tattoo get a tattoo who cares what other people think! If that's what you want then do it! I am full of tattoos and love every one of them and also I wanted to say that driving on the beach you can always let a little bit of air out of each tire and it will help you crawl on top of the sand it will help you a lot. Evee want to come to Apache Junction Arizona. I love to camp and go lots of places myself, maybe sometime we could meet up and go.
