About: The Way Away Divorce
What's disappointing about this video is the lack of gratitude towards Ashley and accountability on the hurt you have put her through.
Hope she’s ok her instagram channel is dead.
Who?
the only thing I ask for is:please don't delete these videos :(
👍
For Turkish followers; a simple translation. (aman aman bi çeviri olmadı her dediğini de çevirmedim ama üç aşağı beş yukarı bu.) Btw so happy to see you happy being yourself Alexis. Much love.
"Merhaba, sizleri uzun süredir görmedim, baya oldu. Bu kanal için çektiğimiz son video Ekim'deydi. Seattle'a vardığımız gün. Yaklaşık bir ay önce Ashley bir veda videosu yayınladı. (Yorumlardaki) Bir çok insan çok cesaretlendiriciydi ve bu çok hoştu. Bazıları beni görmek istediklerini belirttiler. Bunun çok güzel(bir davranış) olduğunu düşündüm çünkü aslında planım ortadan kaybolmaktı ama... bilmiyorum... bu fırsatı son kez 'Merhaba' ve 'Elveda' demek için kullanmayı düşündüm. Çünkü bu durumdan çok bahsetmedik. Evet burada yeniyseniz, ya da bu videoyu ilk kez izliyorsanız burada biraz dramatik olaylar oldu. Eğer Ashley nin videosunu izlemediyseniz, ki bence gayet iyi bir video, çok iyi bir iş çıkardı. Ancak ben de bu şansı vedalaşmak için kullanmak istedim.
Peki, ne oldu? WayAway'e ne oldu? Ne olduğuna hakkındaki gerçek ne?
Yani, aslında gayet açık ve net, eğer bakarsanız bazı şeylerin benim için farklı olduğunu görebilirsiniz. Bu arada Merhaba, daha önce tanışmadıysak, benim adım Alexis. Evet, Ben artık yasal olarak LA de yaşayan 34 yaşında bir kadınım. Yasal olarak kendin olabilmek çok keyifli. Tamam, peki nasıl oldu?
2017 de eşime ve sonrasında zamanla aile üyelerime aslında kadın olduğumu ve transgender bi tecrübe yaşadığımı anlattım. Tabi bu ben hariç hayatımdaki herkes için yeni bilgiydi. Neden bu kadar bekledim? Neden herkesi kandırdım (!)? Tabii ki bunlar çok karmaşık ve özelime ait sorular. Bu videoda tamamıyla açıklayabilir miyim bilmiyorum. Ama özet olarak çocukluğumda bunu açıklamış olsam terapiye ve bir sürü kötü davranışa maruz kalabilirdim. Gençlik yaşlarımdan beri hissettiğim, olduğum insanın imkansız ya da yanlış olduğu bana öğretildi. Bu yüzden olmadığım biri gibi davranmaya devam etmek daha kolaydı. Zamanla olmadığın biri gibi davranmak normalleşiyor çünkü çok uzun süredir bunu yapıyorsun. Ashley ile tanıştığımda 'olmam gereken', 'olmam gerektiği söylenen' kişi olma konusunda çok başarılı bir iş çıkarıyordum. Hayatımın büyük bölümünde asıl olduğum kişinin çok bi önemi yoktu çünkü bana verilen rolü oynuyordum ve bu işte iyiydim. Gündelik hayatıma etki etmediği için üzerine düşünmüyordum. Ama zamanla bu hislerim zihnime yeniden yerleşti ve sürekli aklımı kurcalıyordu. Sonunda ilk kez bunları kendimden başka birine(Ashley'ye) açıkça söyledim ve tabii ki bu ilişkimizi sarstı. Yani nasıl birini istediğin ve ihtiyacın olan bir şekilde görmekten aslında başka biri olduklarını söylediği halde görmeyi kabul edebilirsin. Bu bir ilişki için çok büyük bir mesele. 2 yıl daha videoları yapmamızın sebebi bunun ilişkimiz açısından ve WayAway(işimiz) için ne anlama geldiğini çözmeye çalışmamızdı. Dönüşümümü tamamlamalı mıyım? Bunu yapabilir miyim? Artık lezbiyen bir çift miyiz? gibi soruların cevaplarını arıyorduk. Sonuçta ikimiz için de en iyi olanın ayrılmak ve kendi yollarımızda devam ederek kendimiz için tatmin edici bir hayatın peşinden gitmek olduğuna karar verdik.
Bunun için LA e taşındım. İlk konuştuğum yerde işe girdim. Hatta başvuru bile yapmadım. Referans olmasın için bir yerden yardım istedim 'tabii ki sana referans oluruz' dediler ben de 'Bu arada insanlar beni tanıdığınız ismin dışında bir isimle hakkımda sorular sorabilirler.' dedim. 'Aaa, gerçekten mi, iyi, bizimle çalışmak ister misin?' dediler ve ilk referans istediğim yerde işe alındım. LA e taşındım. Bir ev arkadaşımla beraber kaldığım kendime ait bir apartmanım var. Bu süreçte aşık oldum, ayrıldım. LA de yaşayan 30'larının ortasında bir kadın olarak hayatı tecrübe ettim. Hala kendimle ve geleceğimle ilgili öğreneceğim çok şey var. Bu heyecan verici. Evet, biraz melankolik çünkü kaderim için çoktan karar verildi zannediyordum. Öğrendim ki verilmedi. Bir açıdan 'yeni bir hayat'a sahip olma şansım var. Aradığım bu olduğundan değil ama kendim olma, özgün olma fırsatım var. Buraya kadar ki süreçlerin bazıları - eminim - anlayabileceğiniz gibi bir çok nedenden ötürü üzücü olsa da kendimle barışık olmak çok iyi hissettiriyor. Hayatımda ilk kez mutlu olmak için rol yapmak zorunda değilim. Tabii ki her zaman rol yapmıyordum ama şuan sabah uyanıyorum ve huzurluyum ve bu yeni bir şey. Yani var olmak, kendimle barışık olmak güzel bir his.
Birçok insan 'seni nasıl destekleyebiliriz?' diye sorup nasıl destek olabileceklerini öğrenmek istediler son videoda. Ben pek özel bir şey yapmıyorum. Bir youtube kanalım yok. Sadece instagramda paylaşım yapıyorum o da sıkıcı, 30'larında kadın paylaşımları. Bazen politik olabiliyor, yani dikkatli olun. İsterseniz instagramımı takip edebilirsiniz, link açıklamada ama gerçekten sıkıcı, günlük hayatımı - çok nadiren sanat eserlerini - paylaşıyorum. Kendi cilt bakımı ürünlerimi çıkarmaya çalışıyorum. Yani eğer gerçekten destek olmak istiyorsanız... Sanırım önümüzdeki yıl bu sıralar ufak bir lansmanla başlarım sanırım. Sitenin linki açıklamalarda var.
Evet, eğer hala yapmadıysanız Ashley'nin yeni youtube kanalını da takip etmeyi unutmayın.(Winging It With Ash açıklamada link var) Çok iyi iş çıkarıyor, birçok güzel içeriği var. Kendi hayatından vs şeylerden bahsettiği. Eğlenceli bir kanal.
Kendim hakkında fazla paylaşmadım için üzgünüm. Ancak şimdilik var olmaktan ve yaşamaktan keyif alıyorum. Sanırım kendim olmak için vakit ayırıyorum ve daha fazla rol yapmıyorum. Ve bu güzel.
Eğer (çok rahatsız edici ve özel olmadığı ve saygı çerçevesinde olduğu sürece) cevaplamamı istediğiniz bir soru olursa yorumlara yazdığınızdan emin olum. Elimden geldiğince cevaplamaya çalışacağım. Ya da sadece 'Merhaba' deyin cevap vermeye çalışacağım.
Bu kesinlikle kanala koyduğumuz son video olacak. Muhtemelen... Yani neden başka bir video olsun bilmiyorum. Bu sadece güzel bir 'elveda'. Kanaldaki bütün videolar kalacak çünkü insanlar tecrübelerimizi görsün istiyoruz. En başta da kanalı açma sebebimiz buydu, paylaşmak. İsteyenlerin hala bu videolara erişebilmesini istiyoruz. Eğer yapabilirseniz bu yaşananları düşünmeden videoları izleyip keyif almaya çalışın. Gerçekten güzel zamanlardı, ben çok keyif aldım. Bütün o zamanı Ashley ve sizlerle geçirmekten, paylaşmaktan, öğrenmekten memnunum. Şimdilik sadece var olmanın zevkini çıkarıyorum bu çok güzel.
Klasik kapanışı yapmayacağım fazla heyecanlanmayın. Sadece 'Elveda' diyeceğim. Sizleri özleyeceğim. İnstagramımı takip edip arada 'Merhaba' diyebilirsiniz. Tekrardan, sadece normal hayatını yaşayan bir kadın instagramı. Bay bay"
Thank you for taking the time to write this. ❤️
That's what I call a plot twist after some hours of discovering the first video
Same here 😃 but in a good way I suppose.
SAME LOL
For ME it was after ONE video..i was thinking, "wow, he'd be a pretty girl"...then this...wow...blessings to you both!
This is so...awakening, i guess is my best word...this is a real issue in life...i really hope your life is happy now❤
Is there a single 'quaint couple' who travel the world making these "look at us....we want to be the center of attention" videos where they stay together as a couple. Said differently, I just watched my first video today and I just KNEW there would the vaunted "The truth about us" or "What happened to...?" videos. Regardless, live and live I've always believed. I wish no harm and nothing but true happiness to everyone so be you ....you got one and only ONE life.. I shutter to think about the torture you have gone through mentally to get here
my only Q is why did you get married if you knew what you future will be? Cause you said you always knew...
@Bennie & Molien Wilke
This is my question as well..
I feel for Ashley.
My heart goes out to Ashley xxx
She addressed that. Growing up religious she got used to repressing it and being the person other people thought she should be. She still loved Ashley.
Jen W
Aha religion the root of all evil
I must admit , don’t understood why I was angry at this situation at first . Then I thought “wow! This person has guts”!!! Probably more than I will ever have to come out and be who he/she wants to be!!! I support you and Ashley and wish you both much success in whatever life leads you!
Andy D Kid- what a nice and supportive message.
You’re a very special it/person.
That's what I was thinking
I can’t even imagine the amount of courage and strength a person needs to take all those steps at once. Adapting to a new gender, a new way to live after so many years on the road, a new home, a new job. I hope you both find happiness, but I’m going to miss the traveling videos!
The great part is I don't have to adapt anymore. :p I'm just myself!
I might come to regret posting this - I am posting under my old "dead name" account and am open to google search and doxing.
Im 48 years old now. I started transition in Feb 2017. Been doing it a while...
I ALWAYS knew it might come to this. I also hated the idea. The family problems it would (and has....) caused. My work life. What would my daughter think? I have a granite personality - I can always put my own needs in the background... so I thought.
But after 30 years of "knowing" and only having occasional good days... mostly bad ones. I made my decision.
Alexis you are 15 years younger than me. You made the best decision 15 years before I did. I regret not making mine 15 years earlier - or even before that.
Wish your transition and goals total sucess. Good luck sis ;)
Kimberly.
Congrats on loving yourself Kimberly! I know very well the granite stoicism needed to cope. It's only in allowing myself to be myself have I discovered my empathy and compassion. ❤️
My respect to you Kimberly!
May I ask? If you have been feeling that you are a woman before marriage, why did you get married to a woman (who seems to be interested in men)?
It's probably a question they ask themselves
As the father of a transgender child, I wish you had had the support when you were young. Bravo for being the real you.
Thank you for being supportive of your child ❤️
"If you can't be true to yourself, you can't be true to anyone else". You made a sound decision. Wishing you all the best!
And, last but not the least, you have always been beautiful.
The upmost respect to both Ashley and Alexis that they are doing this so peacefully without drama and everyone is not being dramatic about all this. And I'll love you guys as my favourite Influencers just the way you are.
I was an occasional viewer of your channel so I don’t have the connection or history that thousands of your subscribers have. I can see you were incredibly popular so they must have felt a terrible loss since you and Ashley stopped making content together.
So as someone who isn’t “invested” I just wanted to say that I thought the way you handled this video was brilliant. I don’t know how intentional it was but the few seconds of silence at the start, looking straight into the camera, before you began to speak was incredibly powerful. It was like you were bearing yourself to the audience, inviting us to look at you, and giving us time to realise for ourselves what has happened before you explained. It’s sort of stayed with me since I watched the first time a couple of weeks ago.
All the best with your new life. You seem to be a very resourceful person, I get the feeling you’ll be happy and successful. Matthew.
I can only imagine how hard this must have been for you both. You're both incredibly strong to still be supportive of each other and that is so admirable to see ❤️ Wishing you all the best with everything in the future!
Whenever I watch you and Ashley, I was thinking that you are beautiful like a woman but now wow I have been a follower since 2 years and I would’ve never expected it to end like this. I think you need to keep shooting videos because you are very good at it.
I think some of us knew there was was something there.... its sad that you hurt her along the way (away) but also massively understandable.
I hope you both can be friends and I wish you the very best for your future.
May we say goodbye but most importantly Hello Alexis, thank fo your time and energy. Be you and keep loving life because you have so much of it with in you!
I’m not crying. You’re crying! ❤️
😭 neither of us are! Why is it so wet in here?!
WAY AWAY 😢😂‼️
A breakup is never easy... A public breakup is even harder. This is another level entirely and you've both handled it with grace and dignity. I am so glad you are happy, Alexis, and even happier that the comments here are so supportive of you both! I hope that no matter what the future holds in store, that you both keep shining your light and giving us peeks into your private (and public) lives...
"A public breakup is even harder'
So, in all candor...I have been sitting here, in screen saver mode....just stating at this comment....coming to grips that for the first time in my life...I truly don't know how to feel. Please help me what I am missing here (so I can go on with life).
By this, if one makes the decision to "go public" with events in their lives, how is it 'harder' if they are making that decision. In other words, the "We want to do this" concept does not correlate to making things harder. Unless you are in to that, but again, this is Freewill. Would not the answer to make it "easier" be simply not to go public? Thank you and I love you.
It’s unfair to her coz she was fooled, what a crazy world especially in America
Thanks for all. Wish you the best for both.
i feel sorry for your wife! ex wife!!
I was wary at first, and my wife who is a filipina nurse (meaning she is very kind and subtle) and she is fan of the channel too, told me, "honey, the only one who didn't know was you"....that being said, we wish you welll and happiness in your new life. But, it you think about it, this channel is a brand ( even the logo is great) you have more subscribers, that means it is growing. Why let it die? Couldn't you work it out, and somehow let Ashley carry on, specially because the Post-Covid19 world is going to be somewhat different, so it's not going to be travelling as normal for a while, there lies the value of your videos. I hope, you can find a way to work it out and keep this channel alive. And yes Ashley is doing a great job!! Well, best regards!
While many would love to see the channel continue, it was a decision they both made, together, to leave WayAway as is. Ashley has, however, continued their second channel and transformed it to "Winging it with Ash" :)
I’m happy you are living your true life but sad for the heartbreak that transpired. Wishing you and Ashley all the best.
You should never have married your wife and put her through all that.
I was a little surprised, but this is your life. Let everything be as you wish. Be happy Alexis.
"I'm enjoying just being" pretty much sums it up.
Good luck with your future, and enjoy just being
As a Brazilian guy and having watched your videos about my country, you and Ashley made me feel truly emotional. I love you both, guys. Alexis, you're such an incredible human being!
Sending you love and support! ❤ Coming out is hard, and I'm proud of you.
I really hope this video will be friendly because the connotation of the thumb nail and title seems a bit negative towards Ashley. I do not want some sort of bashing on my former fav channel! Interested to see your story though - just keep it professional, beautiful😊
I thought the same thing. I hope it's civil because Ashley never said anything about her relationship. I wish them both nothing but the best. They deserve it. ❤❤❤
No worries. The title is, very rationally read, just saying that Alexis will tell why she opened herself up to Ash and how she is doing.
@@moyashisoba I hope you are right. I do not think Alexis is the type for it nor would I ve expected that but the title's and thumbnail's connotation... Cross my fingers. I follow both of them and I wish them all the happiness in the world!
During her Q&A on insta Alexis was very kind and civil about Ash. so we shall see
Did you actually watch the video yet? It is nothing but nice and I adore Alexis for her bravery and courage. I'm so happy she is content.
Thanks for wrapping it up. I always enjoyed your trips and did the things you two did when you were there. It was super meaningful to have someone who had already done the "things" to do in each place. A big Thank You to you and Ash
You always knew, and yet you CHOSE to destroy the life of the woman you claimed to love. She planned to marry you FOR LIFE. VERY selfish, cruel, and wrong. It isn't that complicated at all. You chose to marry her and brinher into your problems and take away the best years of her life. Shame on you!
It must be really hard being honest with yourself Alexis, you've gone through a long process and then you've realized that you're a brave person; so you came out to Ashley and your family. We just watched your videos and didn't have any idea what it really meant for both of you. It seems there has been so much heartbreak in your relationship, but the great future is waiting for you, i really believe that! I hope you and Ashley will have great lives. I'll always support both of you, love from Turkey ❤️

I'm a mid 30's woman and my life is anything but boring. With a toddler and a business and everything in between. How can you say a woman's life is boring? You're obviously not a woman.
how the f you think that You think you will have a say in it.
Remember now being a woman is whatever anyone wants it to be 🤦 now days it's all about me me me, all the comments totally warped
其实我是在Jeven关于Vlog 装备介绍的视频中了解并关注你们的，实话来说就发生在几天前。前几天刚看了你们之前在印度列车上的vlog，的的确确给我和家人带来了欢乐，然后就是关于解释你们停更的缘由。的确你的变化有些不同，但是人生就如同拍摄Vlog，旅途中永远不缺少的就是意外。人生如同一场旅途，既然选择了出发，就是尽兴而为享受当下。BE truly who you are，so much respect.希望2020开启一个新的旅途。
Thank you so much Edmond ❤️ Hope the video was informative!
I only discovered your Way Away channel yesterday and was working my way through your UK videos when I suddenly noticed the last two goodbye videos which left me briefly lost for words. Though I discovered your channel so belatedly I do want to say thank you and wish you both best wishes for the future.
Aww you should go back and watch their old videos they are really good xx
Bittersweet! I followed your channel since 2017. You inspired me to travel through the Balkans. I even went to Mokra Gora and Visegrad because I watched your videos. Thank you for the wonderful years of giving your viewers great inspiration to travel. I wish all the best for you and Ashley. May you follow your heart, always!
People... Calm down. The video title is the same as Ashley's video 2 weeks back. Just a video to open up about what really happened in Alexis' perspective.
Yeah, “what really happened to the way away” is a perfect title and not at all misleading or hostile.
Alexis is transgender and so for now on this is what she can expect...people to judge and criticize every thing she does.
Enjoying just being yourself is something we should all do but probably don’t realise how nice it is unless we spend a life not being able to just be ourselves like you did. Wish you all the best for the future and keep just being you! 🥰
Hi Alexis. We appreciate your honesty. It is great that now you feel free of being your real you. It is nice that you mention Ashley with affection and respect. She does the same when she has mentioned you. You are both nice people and I wish you the best! Regards from Guadalajara, one of the first cities you and Ash visited while you traveled around the world 🙂
Hi Alexis. Appreciate you taking the time for a farewell here . You are so graceful and candid sharing your story. Can't imagine the guts you needed to muster up to reveal yourself to loved ones. To say you're brave would be an understatement. Also, you've always encouraged others to travel. Now I bet there are other people..those struggling with who they really are...who are encouraged as well..to embark on another type of journey. Way Away will never go away in my heart. But I fully and wholeheartedly support each of the paths you take. Hope we stay friends always. Thank you for doing this
Thank you Scott. ❤️
Thank you guys for all the experiences shared. You were the inspiration to my travels. Love you guys
Thank you, for doing this video. The wayaway was my favorite channel, im sad its over. But beleive you and ashley doing farewell videos was the right way to end it. Please leave the videos up, They are great ❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wishing you and Ash all the best! Greetings from Turkey. 🌺
Alexis, I was saddened to hear about you and Ashley, but I am happy that you have found the you you were obviously meant to be. There may be some who diagree with your decision, but they arent you! Good luck in your new life, and best wshes in all that you do in the future.
It was always really cool that y'all felt free to share your personal moments with us and so thanks again for sharing. Y'all didn't owe us an explanation but gave us such a graceful one anyways
This is such a lovely comment 😃❤
The peace you have now has completely changed you. It's hard to describe. You almost glow now. ❤
I can soooo relate to the "being" vs "performing" you're talking about - as soon as the camera is on, there is always a level of performance no matter how authentic you are trying to be. Even if it's because you are just framing the shot or thinking ahead to the edit. It's like an extra layer in the identity experience, and I've often found myself distancing myself from my online output and coming back to basics and my core self during times where things in my life were more uncertain. Sometimes the self-imposed pressure to "create content for fans" just felt unhealthy. Sometimes you want to enjoy things in their immediate and present amazingness, not through the filter of "documenting" how cool it is.
I loved watching your Way Away videos, I was just wearing that cozy Way Away jumper you sent at a country house retreat with friends this weekend. Wish you the best Alexis ❤️And if you ever come through Montreal, i'll be delighted to play tour guide for you.
Aww thank you so much Elizabeth! I love that you're still getting use out of the jumper 🤗
Hi Alexis and congratulations on finding the real you and peace with the world! My wife and I of a 10 year marriage, broke up too. It was so painful at the time. That was 14 years ago and it really is true that time heals old wounds. I can now look back at our time together with fondness and smile at all the magical times we had together. You and Ash will one day be able to do the same. I can see in her videos she is still a little raw, but she too with love again and you will both be happy. I wish you both joy and happiness into the future 😊
I loved the way away. I hope people have been kind to you. Take care of yourself.
Thanks for sharing your side of story Alexis! I was sad when Way Away came to an end, but I am grateful for all the cool travel content you created! Thank you! I wish you & Ashley all the happiness! Take care!
I'll admit that the first time I saw you in a Haribo tour, I actually thought you were a female. Maybe it was your energy/your vibe? IDK? Then, in a following video, your hair was shorter, so I thought you might be an effeminate gay man, but then you & your ex said you were married so I didn't concern myself with that issue and focused on your video content.
Knowing that you're now living your truth, I'm very happy for you in your new journey. Stay vibrant and beautiful as you've always been. (You look amazing btw) I'm so glad that you're happy! Thanks for the update! 👍
I’m glad you feel comfortable now I cannot imagine how hard it must of been
I've followed you both for... I don't even know how long... Years. This became my absolute favorite travel channel pretty quickly, and still is. Your attention to detail, history, cultural insight, etc is not only entertaining, but pleasantly instructual and your editing skills gave it all cinematic life. No one does it quite like you, so it will certainly be missed! I've sincerely enjoyed the adventures along with you, and wish you both the best on your new ones. Goodbye ❤️
Don’t say good bye. And don’t hide. You have so much to share with a public, Alexis; as an honest, truthful, intelligent, and beautiful woman.
You have our support. So sorry for the break up. It is nobody's fault. Congratulations on new beginnings.
Alexis thank you for sharing and saying goodbye. I've enjoyed your videos for years. I'm sad they are over, but do wish you well. I did notice as you grew your hair out a confidence and beauty as you held yourself differently.
Good luck and fortune with your new life Alexis. I do hope you are on amicable terms with Ash, are subscribed to her new channel.
Covid crisis has messed up all the travel vloggers plans, so it's good to see her home state adventures. After all, Wayaway team had some awesome times around the globe. You will always have those good memories. As long as the channel is available others can be inspired to see the world through your videos.
You owe us no explanation. I am here as support. Live your best life. You only live once and you should always live your true self. I followed the way away and will support both you and Ashley. You a gorgeous beautiful woman. I wish you the best life in LA.
Wishing you absolutely nothing but the best! If you would chronicle your journey, I know many would love to watch, and support you.
Lovely to see an update from you alexis & most of all that you are doing OK and looking well!
So hard for you, having to go through everything so publically & it's lovely to see you get so much support in the comments!
My only question would be whether or not you miss travelling & whether that's something you'd like to do again in the future?
Wishing you nothing but love, luck & happiness 😊
I do miss traveling a bit, but I'm happy to be in one place for now. I'm excited to re-vist some favorite spots with my future wife someday.
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh travel is definitely good for the soul & I hope you get to share your favourite places with your someone special in the future 😊
Take care & stay safe from Rona! 😷
Lots of love
Me and my dad have watched the Way Away for a long time now and we are both so happy for you that you get to live life as your true self. Wishing you and Ashley the very best in life
You're such a strong beautiful woman Alexis, you and Ashley both are. I wish you two happiness forever 💕
I can understand where you’re coming from, pretending to be someone that you’re not. You are a very strong and brave person. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to begin my own journey. Best of luck to you Alexis and Ashley!
In this life the important thing is to be happy and nothing else. I wish the best for your life. A hug from a brazilian.
My childhood best friend just came out as trans yesterday. During our younger days, there's no way I would ever have thought this was something on their mind. We grew apart as we got older (I moved away), but since the days of social media, we were able to reconnect..despite me now living on the other side of the world.
I would say the same thing to you, as I now do to her. You do you. It doesn't matter what other people think. If this is your authentic self, and if this is how you feel, then live your life. Life is far too short to hide who you are. I feel for both you, and Ash, as I'm sure this was super difficult for both parties; however, in the end, it's the only choice.
Good luck on your journey.
Still encouraging a year after. Love you guys ❤️
I started following you guys when you guys only had a few hundred subscribers, specifically started watching after you guys posted videos from Turkey! So sad to see this but wishing you both the best of luck❤️
I wish you BOTH all the beautiful things this world has to offer!💚
I really enjoyed these videos and will continue to do so. I really hope that you both, Ashley and Alexis, will remain friends. I send each of you a lot of love and positive vibes!!💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚
Honestly I don't think I've seen so many genuinly uplifting and positive comments as on the last 2 vlogs on The WA. You are both ambassadors (note the corrected spelling Ash) for happiness & understanding. ♥️ to both of you.
Thanks for sharing your story. Wishing you all the best in the next chapter of your life.
Wow, you were clearly born to be Alexis, it's like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle falling into place - I hope other people feeling that need to transition take courage from you to do so - you really do look like you were meant to be this way and a pretty lady too.
Ok good to see you are fine! Good luck in future endeavours!
Sending all my love to you Alexis. This is a challenging time but there is so much more love in the future. This is a stepping stone towards your future and your happiness and we are all forever evolving. You are strong, intelligent, kind, and phenomena. You have support and we admire you for your strength. I’m so proud of you for being who you are authentically and genuinely. It’s not easy but it has the biggest reward. Self love. Wishing all my love, hugs, and warmth to you, Alexis, and Ashley. Stay strong both of you.
So much LOVE and RESPECT for you ❤️❤️🙏
Thank you Jodiiiiii 💖

Proud of you for having the courage to live your truth.
Hi, I've been a follower of this channel for a long time. I've always wanted to travel the world but was never brave enough. Your travel videos gave me the courage to be more adventurous and take a chance on my dreams. Your photography and editing are top notch. You're very talented; I do hope you continue using those talents in some way. You and Ashley became such familiar faces and your videos are a joy to watch. I must admit I'm a bit teary-eyed because I will miss you; I don't like goodbyes. Wishing you health and happiness in whatever you do. Thanks again for inspiring me to travel.
Katelyn Rose you said that perfectly ❤️
Big changes. My first marriage ended with my husband coming out. Change is never easy but usually for the better. I'm sure this difficult. It's good to hear you're happy.-Shawna🍁
My husband and I have enjoyed all your videos. Just wanted to say that I felt so emotional watching your video. Ashley's too. So happy that you both found peace. But you really should think about doing more videos. You are a natural on camera and have sooo much to share. Please be well and safe. I enjoy your Instagram stories. Lynda and Steve
much love from a Turkish fan of yours, Dear Alexis this is your life and life is short, everyone should live as they want to. Wishing you luck and happiness in your new life.
Thank you so much for the update as I really missed this channel. Very brave of you to be your true self. I wish you and Ashley all the best.
Bye is the hardest part.......................WOW, did the last few seconds turned me into a puddle of Tears.........................will miss you on the daily, Best of all to you, wish you all the happines you deserve, just can't stop the tears...........................Bye my RUclips friend.............
Been over 10 minutes and the tears are still flowing, .....................so sad...............
I hope Alexis comes back and makes her own channel.
Thank you for keeping the older videos available. It is so nice to be able to look back at past adventures. Just ‘Be’ for now - super best wishes for the future. 💗
Very brave of you to be your true self and must have been so hard too..but you've done that hardest bit now well done. I wish you both much happiness for future and know must been tough for Ashley too. Good luck to you both .
Thank you for posting your personal journey. I have been a follower of yours for years. I am happy to see you are both kind and supportive of each other. I am thankful for all the hard work you put into your travel videos. Wishing the best to both of you.
This is so odd and unexpected and i say this with respect. I live in Finland and i actually met you and said hello to you guys at the mall where i worked as a security guard. I've followed your every video that you filmed in Finland and my impression of you guys was always that you're truly in love with one another so in a way I'm a bit "sad" for you guys, but I'm glad you found your trueself. Although i said that this was unexpected, i thought always that you're a bit feminine but there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Good luck to you in your life and stay safe.
I watched your videos a very long time, and I miss you guys so much, I wish you all the best and maybe to make a video on this channel again as friends ♥️
I am heartbroken, not because of this ,but because I miss you 2 and your travel video's as a whole.
I have been a fan of way away for a long time, take care
All my support for both of you. Be happy!!!
Good luck to you both, all the best for you and Ashley!!!
Supporting both of you guys
Please do not delete your old content. Respect.
I think you're incredibly brave to not only be true to yourself when undoubtedly you would have had to face enormously difficult conversations with people around you, but also share it with the world. You will 100% give another transitioning person the confidence to be whoever they truly are just by sharing this video. Having found you guys from your travels with The Endless Adventure, you look SO AT PEACE in comparison to when you were on the road. You say you were 'acting' and looking back at it now, you can see it and how GLORIOUS it is to see this Alexis. You are glowing. I can't imagine how difficult this was for both you and Ashley (and no one needs to know those details) but the way you have both dealt with it seems healthy and with love and acceptance and kindness at the heart of it all. I wish you both the best of luck in your ventures and to be happy, be true, be you. Jen from the UK x
Same as i said to Ashley
Most important thing is to be happy
Do what you need to archieve that, no metter the cost!
Be happy both of you and stay safe!
Alexis, why can't you PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Continue VLOGING???????? Please, Would be so Awesome to see your New Journey........................Please consider This, Don't want to say goodbye to you, you have been such a Big part of my life for a VERY Long time...............Please, don't want to loose you:)
Thank you Alexis, it was nice to see you and to know you are happy and doing well. Good luck in your happiness and future endeavors. You are very strong,
I must admit I thought you were a bit arrogant in your past life but now it all makes sense. It must have been so difficult keeping up the pretence and mentally draining. Now I see a happy contented woman who is humble and extremely sweet. I wish you all the love and happiness life has to give and hopefully as time goes by it will erase the difficulties you have faced up until this point x
The arrogance was a learned facade and I didn't like it about myself.
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh its now very apparent and totally understandable. Its totally irrelevant to the person you are today ❤
Hey Alexis! I was recently watching The Endless Adventure NZ series. I could tell that your egg might be cracking and then I saw a comment which led me here. SO happy for you. You're absolutely gorgeous. I'm just a stranger on the internet, but if you ever want to talk I'm here for you!
Big egg vibes on those videos 😂
