    I am a 74 year old woman and I LOVE your videos. You are calming, gentle, and kind. Seeing you enjoy your life makes me happy. Your experiences and making new friends is priceless. I know you know that. Having dinner every night with adorable Zac...what could be better? You deserve this girl!

    Alyssa. You look happier than I think I've ever seen you in your videos. The events that led you there and while you stayed were truly a gift from God. This seems to be the start of a new chapter in your life. I hope the blessings continue and that you will share some of it with us. Safe travels and have a blessed day.

    you are truly amazing...you stayed warm in sub-freezing temps, made friends and looked happy.
    No bear or wolf attacks. No frost bite. Heated Port-a-potties. Good food. Northern lights. Best camping vacation ever!! 👍

    Alyssa, read your tent label. Do Not Use Stoves or a Gas Heater inside. Please don't burn yourself up.

    Alyssa, right when you said this is the happiest you've been in a long time I was just thinking the same thing you look so much happier and I know and understand what you go through you've shared with us and I feel for you and I get so excited when I see you post a video I'm so proud of you that you put yourself out there and made friends I have not seen you socialize like this ever it makes me happy to see you happy the way you are enjoying yourself and making friends which is so important you spend most of your time on the road by yourself and I love you God bless you always and can't wait to see your next adventure 💜✝️😊

    Yosemite is always stunning, I’m in Colorado and never tire of the Majestic Rockies. It is told by Native Americans that the opposite side of Half Dome at the right time of day you can see the face of a Native American woman, there is a story behind this.

    As a Canadian I have done lots of winter camping. It may sound counter intuitive. But in my experience it is best to sleep as close to naked as you can in your sleeping bag. The heat your body generates will be reflected back around you. If you wear tight or clothes you will actually feel colder.

    Aw, Yosemite! This video was WONDERFUL! It's been 1.5 years since I've been there. It was Spring, and the waterfall flow was turned up to 11! This video made me so happy! Such beautiful shots, Alyssa! I almost went there 2 weeks ago, but went to Santa Cruz instead. Funnily enough, I bought a tent right before I moved into my car -- and the only place I ever set up that tent was Camp 4 :) I rate tent camping --- 6 out of 10, cuz my car is sooo cozy. I'm so grateful you shared your "grand ole time!"

    • @AlyssaVanilla

Yes it has to be one of ur best experiences to date. I started following you a few days ago & started watching all your videos. Something told watch this. I gotta say it goes easy for you to meet people . I like people it’s just that sometimes I don’t wanna interact with people humans. & i didn’t like having ur tent next to others i prefer to be secluded alone. I would be nervous around others even if I knew them. Thank you for sharing again ur so amazing ✨💪🏼✨💪🏼✨🥰✨✨🤗🤗🤗🫶🌹🕉️

    Hi Alyssa from New Zealand, we are heading into Summer here if you want to visit. On my USA trip I really enjoyed Yosemite too, so many amazing views. Guess you know about those wee heaters ( and cookers) and their Carbon monoxide by-products. Always use with plenty of ventilation, you can just get drowsy and not wake up. It happened to two park rangers here during cold weather. Love watching your videos and travels :)
