Wise woman, your Mom.

Yes! And that has never been so true for me as it has been in nomad life. Thanks for watching!

Yay! Glad you're here!

Iris!! You hadn't arrived yet when I made this video or I would have mentioned you. So glad to see you here! ... And Little One of course.

Yes, Deciding which social interactions add charge to the battery instead of draining it is not always easy!

Glad to be here! Going back into my cone of silence now!

Haha - The pictures kinda make me cringe, but it’s fun to look at who I was back then!

Thanks! I find the old pictures a little bit cringy but it’s kind of fun to remember where I came from. I think a mix of interaction and solo time is pretty much the human condition. I feel like life on the road is very conducive to that. Thanks for watching!

Wow, thanks so much!

Aww thanks so much, Tom! I definitely Identify with you!

Yup, I know your M.O. See you again soon!

Thanks, they’re working out very well!

Thanks so much, I am! Hard not to with my little joybug Rider!

Thank you, they’re working out pretty well!

Thanks! Working on it!

Thanks, happy to know I’m not alone! Well, except when I’m alone lol

I’m so glad I’m not alone with that book thing! Thanks for watching!

Hey, adventure is adventure! New Orleans is a blast! Kat already posted about her news - I'll post about it soon too!

Dogs are the best companions always!

Who knows? Could very well happen! It’s nice to know. I am intriguing! Thanks for watching.

I know, that tail is nuts, isn’t it!?! It has a double curl. I’m glad you’re here and enjoying the videos. Stick around!

It was! I’m not there anymore cause it’s way too hot, but it really was a cool spot.

Thanks, great to see you here!

It’s nice to be there early, but it’s usually still too hot. If you get there early. Staying late, you get all the fun of a deserted town and none of the boiling three digit heat. I did leave in the beginning of April, but it still wasn’t even hot. Probably could’ve done another couple of weeks. Maybe our paths will cross there sometime, At the laundromat or wherever. Thanks for watching.

The Laundromat, yes! 😄

Thank you! Great advice! Glad you’re here.

Balance is best, for sure! And yes, my boy is an absolute delight! I think Captain for bringing him to me every day!

@@MaxMiniTV I thank Captain 🌠and your mom🪽 big hugs to you and the good folks that love you.☀️

You have us beat on many things, but yes, we do have the wide open spaces! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Making people laugh is an incredible skill to have! We enjoyed meeting you, too, I’m sure our paths will cross again!

Yup, see you then!

You're definitely not alone in not wanting to see the videos with products in them. I want to say, though, that I don't ever post a video for anything I don't use or think is worthy. My channel is small, and no one is approaching me offering me "brand deals" to sell things. On rare occasions, I have asked a company to trade a video for somethng I need but can't afford, but it's always something I have researched and already believe in. I can't promise to never do a product video again - in fact there's for sure at least one more coming - but in the entire history of this channel I have done very very few. I don't plan to change that but I reserve the right to do what's best for me, just as you will by not watching the ones you don't want to see. I totally understand why you might not want to watch them. I get it; I like the story ones better too. As far as me not posting a lot lately goes ... I put up a community post about a month ago explaining exactly what's going on with me, and why my posts are sporadic right now. Here's a link to it. Anyway, I'm glad you're still here despite my erratic behavior! kzfaq.info/love/I_LzjybqHKBJNK8IF7VYOAcommunity?lb=UgkxtHIWz1uIhBiVBqkXX5EA_Wl2UwgNCK5o

Thank you so much, and I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you find a doggy with the right energy level for you; for me, it makes all the difference. But if not, I’m glad you’re still committed to the travel life. See you down the road! And thanks for subscribing.

Nothing wrong with a little social awkwardness! Well, I guess that depends what kind of awkwardness but since you’re super nice, I don’t think yours could be a problem! Thanks for watching!

Let’s do it one of these days!

Thanks, I keep a good ion him. It’s definitely been interesting finding the balance between keeping him safe and letting him explore because he really does love to explore. Takes after his mama I guess! Thanks for watching.

Thank you my friend!

LOL The old me!

Yes, there are most definitely snakes, and some of them are harmless but others are not. The rattlers tend to come out when the lizards do. We keep a good eye on the guys when they are exploring but it is definitely a managed risk. Thanks for watching as always!

You're so welcome! I'm glad I'm not alone with the alone thing LOL

L O L I’m always happy to learn a new fact about bears! It sounds like you are a true introvert! Thanks for watching

LOL of course you are!

@@MaxMiniTV I Can go on a date and make money. And have a wonderful time. Sadly I am recovering from a hit and run scooter / car attack. Woke up in trauma center with a huge ambulance bill. I got to fly in a chopper and I slept through the whole thing. My best friend has a daughter that has learned to fly them she is in military and she will be a doctor. I'm very proud of her and I only met her once. My buddy is a good guy and his kids are amazing.

Oh, you caught me! I’ll explain all that in the next video although I can’t promise you how soon that will come out!

What really did change it for me was to focus on how to make someone else feel comfortable. Even if they're not uncomfortable, it helps me to step out of my own head. It makes me open to listening and observing what others need, instead of worrying about whether they like me or not. They may not appreciate it and prefer to be left alone but that will become obvious it that's how they feel, and then I can move on to someone else.

@@MaxMiniTV that's really good thinking! I like that! I'll try that! Thank you! 😃

I agree ... but no peopling makes me bored. So it's a balance! This was a few months ago.

@@MaxMiniTV I’m glad it’s not not lol I wouldn’t want you And Ryder to melt! 😂

@ginabrytowski3564 🤣🤣🤣

This was shot 2 momths ago. Thankfully I escaped before the triple digits hit.

Rider Is a Chihuahua, but he is on the larger side at 10.5 pounds. I would love to see a little teacup version of him! Thanks for watching!

Hiya Derek!

I agree, crowds have not been my thing since I was in my 20s. I used to go to a lot of live music shows, now it’s just too many people too close together. Thanks for watching!

LOL The gift of gab is definitely something I have been blessed with, too (cursed with?)! Rider sends an arf.

@@MaxMiniTV hugs Mary. Who gets the last word? Rider ARF
