    "I'm somewhat of an electrician now." 😊 Love this!
    Loved this video, thanks for sharing, Madilynn. Love the shots of Athena amid the daisies, your daisy chain, the fantastic views, especially those of the mountains, and watching you cooking and chatting with us.
    Hope you're doing ok, despite personal challenges.
    Love from Scotland x

    Keep it up! I’m currently struggling with life on the road and finding stable access to internet. But keep pushing through each day and each day just gets better! Not sure if you use a cell signal booster, but I have a weBoost Drive Reach Overland and it works fantastic. Tip: if you do decide to get one, just make sure you place your phone or hotspot directly on the inside antenna for best results. But it really does work and greatly maximizes the range of places I can work remote from. Safe travels.

    • @MarieVaugn
      @MarieVaugn 4 месяца назад

      Yes, it gets easier with time (usually). Finding good internet was a struggle for me too. I'm finally happy with my HomeFi hotspot, it's been way better than what I was using before. Never tried a weBoost but glad it's working well for you.

    On my annual road/boondocking trip last year I learned the hard way that the many of the best (and free) mountain sites had sketchy cell service.
    I, too, had to work during the days, so finding a suitable spot was always priority #1 every time I moved. I imagine that the Mt. Rainier area may even be a little tougher (I was in Idaho/Montana area).
    In any case, you seem to find some nice spots, though they may be a bit frustrating to find.
    I'm so sorry to hear about troubles in your personal life. Sometimes life is tough hill to climb. I hope that time and patience will work for you.
    Thanks for the video... and don't worry about the frequency. Run your own race; at your own pace.
    Take Care!

    • @madilynndawn
      @madilynndawn  4 месяца назад

      Exactly, all the best spots have little to no service (which is fine if we didn’t have to work haha). Thank you for the kind words!! 🥲

    I lived van life and loved it, I'm a introvert but love the outdoors at the same time, kind of weird lol but then my van broke down. I couldn't keep up with the repairs. I finally got myself an apartment in NYC and I love having my own place again. If you're in NYC and need a place to stay for a while . Let me know. Be safe ..

    The more your life becomes shattered to pieces, the more the pieces eventually seem to fall into place.
    Keep your spirits up by living the life the way you chose to live. Traveling in a beautiful state like Washington, can make anyone envious.

    Heya Madilynn, I think I've driven THAT forest road before, too! LOL! I LOVED througout the video that there are still wildflowers and adorable daisies in Washington!!!! Great job, you ELECTRICIAN. LOL Someday, I want to have a sophisticated electrical system. :) I'm thinking about getting Starlink someday, because I want internet data ALWAYS and EVERYWHERE. LOL. Mt. Rainier is freakishly beautiful. Thank you for the views. I miss it. It's been 5 years. *pet pet pet* Athena! I love those cartons of eggs too -- but only in my 4-wall dwelling. I've never had Stok Cold Brew, but I'm totally gonna try the Purple. :) Love yogurt/granola combo. Thank you for the travel videos. We're here for you!

Without knowing too many details about what ever troubles you're facing all I can say is hang in there, things will work out with what ever happened that you said your life was crumbling, sometimes we stumble along our journey down certain paths and it helps us course correct to better ones.

    For all I know you have a high paying IT remote job, but you can always post the buy a coffee link too like other channels. And your subscribers love you and your videos, so post on whatever schedule makes you the happiest. No pressure.

    The one problem with eggs in a carton like that is that they don't last nearly as long as whole eggs - once you open the carton, they're only good for a couple of days. Depending on how quickly you use them, whole eggs are probably the best choice. Just give it the smell test next time you open it.
    And as far as your life shattering - you're young. Take your time, be you, and pick up the pieces as you're able. You got this.

    I am a woman and i live in Florida and would like to someday do traveling in a van. I currently have a large driveway and it would be a safe place for a woman to park a van for a couple nights if you ever want to visit Florida. I think there are websites of campers that share info on safe areas to park and people that will allow others to stay on their land for short times. Be safe!!
