My wife and I did our van life adventure all over the U.S in 2021 and we finally realized her longtime dream of traveling most of the states. Unfortunately, she passed a couple of months ago but she lived to the fullest and during our adventures we experienced so much and lived a thousand lives through our travels..It's refreshing to watch your videos, makes me relive my time with Hannah again and our adventures/ misadventures haha Enjoy guys! Much love and good luck to you 💛

I did van life for 4 years. Sickness, loneliness, being cold, and feeling detached due to no routines and constantly moving is such a huge part of it and it's so good people showcase it more now. When I started in 2019 it felt like most people were overly positive about it without sharing the negatives. Its like everything in life not only good or only bad. Amazing experiences and meeting amazing people, better than you can even imagine before you start but there are for sure times all I wanted to do was travel back to the apartment I got rid of and get a good night sleep in the warmth & a hot shower. Great video showing the ups and downs and how incredible vanlife can be. Without those negatives it wouldn't be as good.

I remember going through this exact rollercoaster of emotions while I was backpacking solo for about a year in my early 20s... Africa, The Middle East, Asia, Europe, America... I got good and lost on so many levels Never really sure where I was going, getting stuck in places, doing whatever to get to the next place, which was usually decided on a whim when I had enough money scratched together for transport, food, and a few weeks shelter. Looking back, it feels like a fever dream of aimlessly wandering the world with a simple mantra of: "Take it all in but keep moving" You're going to be alright.

@@taylorcassell I do. Are there things that I wish had gone differently? Sure. Were there moments I wanted to just give up and go home? Definitely. All that said, if I didn't go through those struggles, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Those experiences opened my mind and my heart. Crossing the gap between familiar comfort and the unknown, taught me the antifragility of human spirit. That it's not about reaching the top of the mountain, but rather proving to yourself that you are the type of person who can reach the top of the mountain. There will always be more mountains. Comparing the good and bad sides of different cultures and societies showed me that people are people, and tribalism is no longer serving humanity. We have way more in common than we think. It turned my empathy bucket into an empathy well.

Okay the symbolism and meaning in her films is awesome. She is also seriously just so good at curating these shots with impressionistic uses of natural lighting (the van's yellow lights, the yellow light of the sun, the darkness of night and rain, etc.) and playing just the right music with these shots to give you this sense of wonderment, and self-discovery, and upbeat-ness but also weird tinges of sadness and the unknown. Honestly, watching her Borderless series scratches an itch I didn't know I had all along: a need for freedom and self-discovery, with all the right trials and hardships that help me grow mixed in. Thanks Natalie. Hope you're safe and happy.

Natalie, you should be proud. Your addition to the compendium of human experience is one of incredible value. To embrace the absurd is one of the most difficult things one can do and you’re teaching me how. Your ability to let in all the overwhelming and seemingly negative emotions, not avoiding them but swimming in them, is a lesson to all of us and will give you the tools, not to overcome them, but to use them to experience all the euphoric and positive ones. I now sit grappling with the knowledge that I have to live this vicariously through you, and that frightens me a little bit, but you can be sure that you and your work is an incredibly valued medium through which I can do so. Each of your films feels like a reset, a switch that goes off in my head putting things into perspective. You put a lot of emphasis on the little things, so you should know that from my perspective, you’re work is one of those “little things” that makes me stop, look around me, and remember how ridiculous it is that I am alive. Also… the music.

I found this channel quite recently, and it is just absolutely insane... The storyline, the cinematography, the various camera angles, the incredible color grading, using songs even though they are copyright to improve the viewer experience, the editing style- The pacing of the video is also unmatched with the dramatic pauses in the voiceovers, the montages- its practically perfect, especially if you compare this to most other creators who just overly edit everything and pace their videos absurdly fast to increase viewer retention, while in reality it just makes everything boring. Amazing work!

I met with your films in 2020 and I didn't have English knowledge etc. and I've been watching some of 'em with subtitles that you turned on and KZfaq set automatically. I really really need to thank you. you and some people who makes videos like you made me to learn English and understand whole stuffs that you talk about in your videos. thank you so much. I'm improving myself and I had a dream about traveling the world it's really hard to dream something like that cuz nowadays it's really hard to stop for just one sec and think about something. 3 years ago on this day I sweared to myself to understand your videos etc. and now I can.😊 maybe you didn't mean to do that at all but know that you're still doing really good things for people, even if you don't know. take care.

I'm actually in med school right now but I've always had this inner urge right since the beginning, as long as I can remember to leave everything behind and seek what my purpose is. I certainly love to travel and explore new places that would include everything even ending up in the middle of nowhere counts. But I also feel sometimes that I'm so stuck with all the responsibilities and studies that I've taken over that I'm never going to experience what Natalie has. I'm so grateful that I got to watch something that I myself want to experience so badly, like I'd die to feel all that she felt. I'm so proud of her for coming this far. Imagine how many stories she'll have to tell once she's old. Maybe one day I will have too.

I worked there for a few months then I got a job at Grand Canyon national park saving here for a road excursion through Utah to go be working in Yellowstone in the summer. I’m journeying back to Washington afterwards , i plan to then keep my van a PNW van.. it’s so beautiful and I know all of the Washington roads like the back of my hand . It was car life before van life. We should go on an adventure if your up for it. Your not the only young gal out there who felt so different and lost in the world because your dream felt so isolating from others. Oh and the mental breakdowns on the road not knowing what the fuck your doing , I’m there with you . I’m am a fellow broke van lifer who just plans on stayin broke its funner that way .

"What am I doing here?" ... that sentence .. I was sent off to attend school 3000 miles away from home when I wasn't even in my mid-teens. Losing all my friends, my town, everything... Looking back 40+ years, I think I did pretty well despite everything, as a nomad with two talents: coding and music. I wouldn't have made it without.

I think your film has always been a tranquilizer for me, because every time I feel anxious about life, your videos always make me feel relatable and calm. Maybe there's no right answer on the way, which is why the process is so important, isn't it? I think what you mean by "borderless" is like "allowing everything to happen", feeling everything, connecting with the world, everything is an experience, good or bad. Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece, natalie;)💛

so glad you were so open about mental health struggles on the road! my best friend and i were just traveling in a van we renovated for about two months, but ended up shortening the trip so she could focus on her mental health in a physically stable environment. i feel like van lifers don’t address this enough so it was so refreshing seeing both good and bad sides of this lifestyle

This was incredible, that 20 mins flew by. I haven't made the leap yet to live out of my vehicle, but it's something I've wanted to do for years and this is a huge inspiration and push for me to go for it. Even without having had the same on-the-road experiences as you, I still connect with everything you talked about as far as feeling lost and aimless, and how we need to push ourselves out of our comfort zones to grow, and learn to live with less to appreciate the things we do have. Thank you for making this beautifully crafted and authentic film

This have made me feel things I'd never thought Id feel by just watching something. Everything about this is incredibly beautiful, it just pierces right through my heart and soul. I have always been stuck in a city, with loud cars and tall buildings. Many people around me and yet I feel more disconnected than ever... I never expected I would feel this longing just by watching this. I dont even know how to word it, its just feels like the trees are calling me. idk. sounds dumb. but it feels profound and I thank you Natalie for making me feel this way. I think something in my brain was just rewired. Watching your film or the act of it sometimes makes me scared or uncomfortable, just because I know it would make me feel things differently, think things differently and I think that speaks a lot about the sheer quality & thoughts you have all put into this, so once again, thank you. Please always be safe and prioritize your health, mentally and physically. lovelots.

I cried through this entire video. Me and my family of five and four pets lived in a 14ft trailer for ten months and it made me appreciate anything and everything so much more. I took so many things for granted before we became homeless for a short time and that teeny little trailer was such a huge blessing despite every issue we had along with it. I dream of someday getting to do what you’re doing and experience what this world has to offer.

As a fellow vanlifer - THANK YOU for being so real about what life on the road can actually feel like. People don't realize that traveling constantly can actually lead to a lot of existential crisis... Then on top of that - everyone assumes you're the happiest and most free you've ever been, so there is a new kind of shame that comes along with feeling depressed while on the road.

Thanks to Natalie, I got to see parts of the world that I thought I'd never see. As someone who is kinda forced to live a sedentary life (due to studies and financial stuff), it makes me feel kinda envious yet happy to see her live a life long dream of mine. I hope I'll be able to do the same one day, not only for the experience, but to find out who I really am... So, thank you Natalie for letting us in on this journey, although it feels bittersweet to see it come to an end... Can't wait to see what comes next and may your 2023 bring you even more life-experiences. Much love from little old Belgium :)

I empathize you on finding what your end goal really is, I feel kinda the same. Even though in my heart and mind I am on the right path yet after attaining those goals I find myself lost. No matter how clear or linear your goal is, it will not give us a longterm content and we are in a constant state of looking for what we really want in our life. I am grateful to watch your videos, although I knew I'm not the only one who feel lost but it allows me to cope and realize that life will never be a race and it never will. We have our own marathon and we dictate the situation that we find ourselves in, no matter good or bad, we are our own present.

I decided to watch it and instantly loved the editing and general vibe of it. That was back when you had ~30k subs, and although your editing has always been phenomenal, it’s amazing how you continue to better it throughout the years. I remember the “music that has changed my soul” video or whatever it was called blew up and how your channel started exponentially growing since then. I’m so happy you’re finally getting the recognition you and your videos deserve

This is simply beautiful. The way you perfectly describe the very thing that is a challenge, is the thing that makes you grateful for it. Like not knowing when your getting water next or a good warm meal, makes you grateful for having that luxury in the first place. And from my own experience camping and being outdoors, how it feels pointless yet so groundbreaking and exhilarating at the same time. A paradox of feelings. Love your videos, brought me to tears haha

I remember feeling much of the same way you did after highschool and even now a lot of the time. Im going to be building out my minivan and traveling this year, but I remembered hearing another really smart van lifer say "no matter where you go in the van, your always going to be there" in a way to say if you think it will take away those parts of yourself that are hard, you bring them with you. But its a beautiful opportunity to grow from that too, and to challenge yourself.
