Life doesn't revolve around KZfaq. Live your life for you.

I see it as like an old friend. Like “I wonder what holli is up to?” No worries or pressure! You’re sharing your life with us and that’s such a cool privilege.

hey Holli keep your head up,you'll soon hit 20k in no time , everyone misses you from Los Angeles to Minnie Soda , the bangs are a beautiful look for 2019.

Well I think you are perfect and amazing! I remember finding your channel and binged the WHOLE thing. You inspire me and to think that you went all over the country alone and made it though all of it without quitting. And THEN to top it off you’ve been in Hawaii for a very long time and you’ve had shelter and food and experiences! I’m scared to start traveling but when I see what you have done I am inspired. You have been so informative and every once in a while I go back to see your videos for encouragement. 💕

There are worse things in life than being young, pretty and free.

You are so good at keeping such a secret surprise! Just wishing you all the happy feels as you prepare for your next adventure! Whenever you are able to share vlogs is always a pleasure. Thanks for all your work to share your life with us!

When I saw this part, I cried and I am still crying. The best "Mother's Day" gift you could have given your mother? You bet!!! Our son has been on the opposite coast for almost 20 years and we can't stand it. It has left a huge gaping hole in our lives and is a sad, constant heartache. We would give just about anything for him and his family to move back home again. So, please tell your Mom that I am going to "borrow" some of her joy. It can be one Mom's gift to another! (Insert tearful smile here.) She has 2 very loving daughters. Have many, many happy days and times together!

Love you Holli! It's ok to flow through life like you are :) And you gained the subscribers because people love your videos and are looking forward to more, not because we need to have a video everyday at a specific time, etc. If it makes you feel any better its beautiful back here minnesota/western wisconsin. Would love it if you had a meetup when you got back! 😊

No matter what you do or say, there will always be haters. Ignore them. Holli, you are not a failure and you are not quitting. Don't let it "bum you out." You just need a break. (I've had it happen to me where I just did not feel like making another video. I'm in the middle of that again, right now. It happens. What I've learned is that it will pass.) When you give yourself the time to step back, relax, move home again, etc. you'll eventually get back into it - when YOU are ready. (Here's the older "Mom" voice speaking: I'm glad you are leaving. From the moment you announced you were going to Hawaii, I never felt peaceful about it or comfortable with it. I felt a black cloud hanging over the whole thing. Now I can breathe a happy sigh of relief.) BE HAPPY AND EXCITED, GIRLFRIEND! New chapters are about to begin! The blackboard is clean and ready for a fresh new story!

I have been watching your videos for a bit now and I am sad to hear the news about your channel. I am definitely sending you positivity and well wishes on the new chapter of your life! Your authenticity and genuiness truly does come out on your videos which I will miss! Take care of yourself! XoXo!!! 🙏🏼❤️

You do whatever you need to do for happiness. You deserve it! I have subscribed to channels where they put out too many videos. The content becomes boring. Put them up as you feel needed. Stay wild moon child

Oh no I so sorry you've been feeling like this. I really hope you keep making videos. I love watching your videos no matter what they are about. Or how often you upload. I will always be a subs criber as long as you have a channel.

Can't believe you're leaving us! Mahalo for your videos. Your content helped me make the plunge and move to the land of Aloha. Wishing you all the best, and hopefully (someday) a return to Hawaii. Mahalo Holli! Live aloha, even in Minnesota. ;)

This video is so cool, ur a good person & I think ur honesty happens to be beautiful. 🖌️✨ Hopefully you keep ur spirits high & still journal ur adventures bc they're fun & u have a unique perspective. :) Stay awesome, hope to see more soon!

One vid a month is better than no vid a month. Your very young. Your channel will grow with you. Make videos when you’re inspired. We’re here because of your personality not your location.

You gals seem so wholesome... I loved this. And you look great Ms. Holli. Bangs included.

Stay amazing your a beautiful soul, don't be so hard on yourself, your worth 100k as you helped me. 😊 ✌️ ♥

You have now made 20k! I only came across your channel by youtubing Hawaii!! Goes to show and keep them coming, you have made a great impact in your videos, so funny and so much fun and only seen 4 videos so far :) keep going!

Good luck on this next chapter. I was in Hawaii (Big Island) about a month ago...great time but much different vacationing there vs living/working there. I did however talk to a lot of young people your age who moved to Hawaii, as you did. Similar situations, it's a struggle they say and many worked jobs like waitressing or within tourism support services (restaurants ,etc.) . Chalk it up to a great experience and at least you have these videos to look back on and remember. Best of luck going forward...

I was just thinking today how I missed seeing your face around KZfaq! I hope you get to a point you’re inspired by KZfaq again because I’ve loved watching you. If not, I’m grateful for what we have been able to see and the few videos you’ll put out there.

the end made me tear up ☀️😭💖

Love you Holli x

Hopes sent your way for wellness! And don't listen to the negative just follow your heart!

Hi Holli. You just have so much on your plate I can understand why you're going through so much emotion about the channel and being available to it and leaving Hawaii and everything it's just a lot. You look beautiful and you look really tired. I'm glad you had a great year and a half in Hawaii but it sounds like you're really ready to go home to Minnesota. And that chapter of your life I'm sure will be amazing. Thanks for the video and you are not rambling.

Yay Holly comin home!

When I was a teenager I did a big trip like you've done. I was worried that if I went back "home" I'd get stuck there, so I just never went back. Are you worried about getting stuck?

Former Minnesotan here. Keep living this life if it makes you happy. I plan on starting my journey in October leaving from Illinois. I've done short trips in my Veracruz and have spent many nights in random parking lots.

Q&A question: I’m a MN native as well thinking of moving further south and eventually to HI. What would you have done differently during your move there?

Very nice surprise video, It made me smile big time. 🙏😃

i'm sad that your moving back. Cant blame you. Good luck

I love the bangs Thank you for the video Rock on

I always enjoy your honest and sweet videos! What are you planning to do for work when you move home? Will there be more van life? Would you rather live in a submarine with all of life amenities and never see the light of day or live on a remote island with nothing but the clothes on your back needing to hunt/gather food and build shelter?

No idea why you’d have any haters you seem so frickin cool

You deserve way more than 20k subscribers! I would still watch one video per month, and I'd love to watch some videos from your home :)

Trust your gut and follow your heart neither will lie to you. The obvious answers are often not the right ones.

Always worried about you being lonely, now that won't be a problem. You can always show us your Land of 10,000 Lakes. I don't know a lot about Minnesota, I lived there for a year when I was in first grade. The main thing I remember is my family live in town so small that we had to travel to a larger one, Alexandria, to go grocery shopping. In Alexandria there was a large(around 30ft tall) Viking(Big Ole) in the middle of road which you could drive around. Hope you get over your cold, look forward to your next video.

I’m thinking about moving to Hawaii. Can you give me some insight to how life is there and why you are leaving?

1st viewer!🤗

Keep your head up, you have done so much! Very brave, you got this. I think you would be a great radio dj. 💪😌👍

I enjoyed your journey.

I’m in Minnesota love to see more video god bless you

What’s wrong with it just being a hobby? Hobbies make us happy. Hobbies give us something to put our energy into. However if you don’t have a lot of energy left it’s totally understandable that you’d slow down making videos! Don’t be so hard on yourself! I’d still watch a monthly video. You are the creator of this channel don’t forget you can do what you want! If you don’t feel like posting for awhile don’t. Some of my favourite (pretty successful) youtubers don’t post on any kind of a schedule. They post when feels right and because of that the videos don’t feel forced and you can feel the authenticity. Give credit where credit is due - to you! 19K is a lot of subscribers and you did that. We’re all here because of you, there’s a lot to be proud of. Remember not to sink into comparison. Love you, love your videos.

Great Video. Happy ending

My dear, you don’t owe anyone on here anything. Be you! Failed? Are you kidding? This is only a step stone to whatever you do next. Upload when you want to. Or don’t. No pressure ! All is well I’m so curious what you will want to do next.

hey may I ask what camera did you use for this video? great content BTW

Holli I really can't see why people dissed you about your honesty about the Big Island. Being a Virgo and having that critique side of me and having lived in Hawaii for over 20 years I appreciated your documentations and really liked that video about why you were leaving the Big Island. The vog can be devastating and really liked what you said about workaway and woofing having done it and been a host. I thought it was one of the best videos I had ever seen. And everything you said is so true! I would like to know about why you left Hawaii and the truth about it. There can be some reverse racism that I experienced first hand living in Hana Maui. I wasn't a big fan about this video as you didn't really talk about the things you didn't like about Oahu and glossed over things. You are a pretty girl and I feel you down play your looks at times. I like you with long dark hair the best. I am impressed with your skills at editing. But I will definitely watch this video again and hear about your favorite videos.

Love the bangs Holli, things always get worse before they get better. I have 2 questions what have you missed most/ or noticed that is the most different on the Isands v.s. the States? And who is the oldest between you and your sister? Enjoy the rest of your time on the Islands.

I'm a new subscriber! I'm interested in stealth camping. I would love to hear your tips on finding a location. Have you had any trouble with people telling you to leave? We're in a Jeep that looks very generic and have good black-out curtains.

COME TO AUSTRALIA!!

What kind of videos do you love making the most?

Good luck in Minnesota 😀

I've lived on the Big Island for about 7 years, although some people are the kindest you'll ever meet there are those who are mean just because you are white. I still love the place and I don't think I will let those few people turn me away... Also I'm glad you are home now. Hawaii is nice but it is a very expensive place to live especially when you are young and on your own trying to figure life out.

Will we see Mini again??

You look better with your natural hair colour and a short cut x

Hawaii is definitely an acquired taste. I’ve lived here eight years and the first full year here I hated it!! I even had a running Facebook commentary daily on things I hated. Now there is nowhere in the world I would rather be but Hawaii is just not for everybody. I’ve only visited the other islands so I can’t speak for living on them but I think that just maybe that creepy old Betsy McCall looking doll gave you some bad Oahu island juju . Lol. Good luck on your new endeavors!! I look forward to new videos from wherever your wandering free spirit takes you when you’re in the right space and place to film. 😘

Yeah. Closer to me.

40 hours per week, if you work 14 days in a row, means roughly 6 hours every day. I have no idea how salaries and tips work for restaurant employees in USA, but in my country this is a part-time schedule 😭

Holi where are you ? We miss youuuuuuu xxx hope you are ok

what were some of the biggest challenges you faced while living in Oahu?

well come rajasthan

Lol

What do you mean working full time, what are you doing for work? How do you have 21.8k subscribers and not monetizing ?

i just hucklenutted myself when i seent them hucklebangs

Your new hair style looks gorgeous on you. Been watching since your travels in Florida. Did not find your videos all that interesting on the islands. Your personality along with extremely cute face seems to keep me interested. Your channel may even do better at home where your'e under less stress. Don't know what your expectations were with making a go of the channel and life on a lux islands.Would say you did well, while looking from the outside. What personal toll, we can't know. If you really enjoy You Tube "work" then shake it up when you get back. Mustn't forget that your'e involved in a creative art and it is neither simple or easy. If does not meet your expectations, don't hang around and beat yourself up. With your personality and fearlessness, you will do just fine at whatever you decide. Always remember the good times and forget the negatives. You have a great start to life and a long way to go. Keep going forward and plucking away at it. It's all good. We are all just lucky to be here.

Your cute af, you have amazing eyelashes
