I'm Mariah Alice, and I live the "solo female van life" with my dog, Finn. We've been on the road full time since June of 2020, and although our road has been met with what feels like a zillion ups and downs, we've finally gotten to the point where living in a van feels like home. Sometimes we're alone in the woods, sometimes we're alone in a desert, sometimes we're chasing snow or thunderstorms, sometimes we're trying to see all 50 states, and sometimes we're making weekly videos here on RU-vid talking about our feelings, anxiety, loneliness, seasonal extreme sadness..... yeah. I don't know what I'm doing with my life. And that's okay. I think :)

Wow. That’s wild that you were in such a serious accident and didn’t get hurt. Three years ago, my Xterra rolled across three lanes of traffic at 70 mph. Lost my home and vehicle in about four seconds. But same, not a single scratch. I had a similar realization about mortality and that literally every day is a gift. Let’s campfire sooon

@dennismiller5725 2 года назад

Yikes, can xee how that would be a life changer!

@cocochanel9291 2 года назад

Do you know how great that sounds? not the accident, but the simple invite of 'lets campfire soon'. Safe travels to all of you who inspire us to be outside more.

@scottmacd1961 2 года назад

In 1984 I was in a boating accident where the prop hit my right thigh and almost lost my leg. It makes you appreciate life.

@dotunderscore 2 года назад

I thought I had a spider bite in the beginning of summer - it was some sort of break in my skin, we never figured out what caused it. But bacteria got in there, and I ended up with flesh eating bacteria disease, and was hospitalised most of the summer. Keep it clean and keep an eye on it. Because of what I experienced, I’d get it checked out, but that’s me :)

@calvinlokinferhobbs2249 2 года назад

also, it may be necessary for a round of antibiotics..can be very serious

@frenchfryfarmer436 2 года назад

I thought I had a spider bite. Ended up being impetigo. I have also had cellulitis (skin infection) in the last 4 years.

@angiek9338 2 года назад

Another great video, Mariah! I’m glad you found more friends on the road. :) I agree with the others in that you might want to have a doctor take a look at your elbow! It could even be a staph infection, which is extremely painful and would require antibiotics right away. Take care of yourself and have a great week!

@tavanurses 2 года назад

Hey girl you most likely need to get your elbow seen that redness looks like cellulitis to this ER nurse. Could be a Brown Recluse ? Everything you said on you video is exactly what the complaints are from people who had those bites. So if it still hurts the same after another24 to 48 hours remains red and the area is warmer than the surrounding tissue go get it seen and if it appears to be looking like an abscess cover it and go to a clinic. I really enjoy your channel by the way.

@jsutherland1043 2 года назад

@@tavanurses My first thought was a brown recluse spider. Nothing to ignore. Please have it checked out. Love you talks/reasoning and Finn is just the best. Looking forward to seeing you around more campfires...enjoying yourself and making new friends.

@wephotogal 2 года назад

I love happy tears, we all need more of those. Lots of love to you and Finn.

There is more to vanlife exploration than putting miles on the van. The mental miles make for a marvelous journey.

@HairEguy 2 года назад

Hi Mariah, I wanted to share with you how much I admire your willingness to share both of your journeys. The internal and external adventure in being human. My wife and I were touched by the self inquiry you did about how a year ago you wouldn't have been open to connecting with the fellow travelers you did at this time in your life. I'm 78 and hearing you say that this group that you met were older 30s / 40s and that you couldn't imagine being open to a connection with them a year ago. Well, you drew us in, and you have our admiration and wishes for many more expanding adventures in your journeys. Be safe...

@LoveLivingLoveNow 2 года назад

Awe, Mariah, you said you felt heavy revisiting those days in this video. I watched it feeling happy for you. You are young and LIVING your life. (I am almost 3x your age) Thanks for being real. Life is one experiment/adventure after another, isn't it? Love from PNW.

@SFlaidlaw101 2 года назад

Woman you are an INSPIRATION!! ❤️❤️ Keep going, you beautiful soul. I know that every one of us looks forward to seeing your creations every week.

@hbee921 2 года назад

I'm so glad that you found friends on your journey. They say, there's a reason why you run into someone. There's a purpose people come into your life. ❤🌞 This covid world isolates people. Hugs and prayers to you 🙏❤ Crying is healthy. It's good having emotions. Do you have any triple antibiotic cream?Hope this helps.. ❤ Clean the wound with mild soap and water. Apply an antibiotic ointment three times a day to help prevent infection. Apply a cool compress over the bite for 15 minutes each hour. Use a clean cloth dampened with water or filled with ice.

@jamiewhite665 2 года назад

Also if you have any essential oils, a hot compress with lavender or tea tree can help draw out the poison. If it starts making red streaks up or down your arm, go to the doctor!!! Loved your tears 💗

@HannahSegerPhotography 2 года назад

I'm glad you found friends! Regarding the spider bite, an easy remedy for future reference is to mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with just enough water to create a paste. Spread it on the bite and it will help draw out the poison.

@bemehiser 2 года назад

That's awesome you found cool people to hang with! I've always wondered how many people there would be on the road, so it's cool to see your experience and learn how you found people. Speaking from personal experience - I bet that guy had a blast working on your van. It's always super fun to help people out and fix their stuff.

@haydenellms8 2 года назад

As someone who also lives in a van I can completely relate to everything you say.

@Onespirit01 2 года назад

Happy you met friends to share campfires, stories and food. Yeah! Trust that the universe only wants whatever is best for you, there are a lot of Thomas’ out there who are willing to lend a helping hand and someday you will get an opportunity to do the same for someone else. I am not a doctor, but you can clean the wound with mild soap and water. Apply an antibiotic ointment three times a day to help prevent infection. Apply a cool compress over the bite for 15 minutes each hour for pain. Try baking soda mix a paste and put on wound to draw out venom. Keep an eye on Finn too!

@ScottLBeyer 2 года назад

Wow…what an awesome, introspective journey you are sharing. As a full time RV’er for the past year, I understand what you are going through. Just know you are never alone and that the community is here for you. If you are ever in NW Florida and need a safe, peaceful place to stay, my spot at my RV park has room for you and Finn for free.

@UntetheredBanshee 2 года назад

GO GET TREATED FOR THE SPIDER BITE ASAP. They'll give you antibiotics to make sure infection doesn't develop and can assess for level of tissue damage. Better safe than missing a chunk of elbow. Also you're great and deserve to feel nice things. Happy for you! Ok bye gotta post this asap lol

@thereseshine7506 2 года назад

I'm kind've late watching this. Yeah, antihistamines and antibiotics. Oatmeal soaks. Steroids if it's real bad. My son at 7 yrs was but by a brown recluse spider. He had to lay flat for a week and saw the Pedi every day. I got pretty scared he'd lose his leg and on the sixth day (Fri) vomited. They put him on steroids and by Mon his skin was so good he could go to school. I love watching your videos!

@fredricjulien8738 2 года назад

I think it's ok to see you happy crying. I seem to get that feeling of helplessness vibes when you need things fixed and you're out in the desert. But at least you weren't crying about that. Glad you found new friends and a guy like Thomas who helped you out. Hope your spider bite clears up.

@rachelfritz 2 года назад

I’ve been watching your videos for the past 6 months and your evolution is beautiful to see as you overcame a challenging time ❣️

@jenniferfleury8491 2 года назад

I had a bad spider bite on my calf a few years ago. I work on a film set so I had a medic checking it every day and she wanted me to keep it well bandaged with a lot of neosporin inside the bandage. In an unrelated coincidence I was also getting sicker and sicker and so she made me go to the doctor because she was concerned about MRSA. The sick feeling turned out to be Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick bite and they cultured the spider bite and it was actually not terribly infected despite the fact the skin was turning black at the puncture. Doc said it was probably all the neosporin and bandage changing that kept that from getting worse. Yeah I learned a lot about bugbites that summer.

@300lbcanary2 2 года назад

Let your soul wrap around all the good feels. A few tears will help you remember this when you're 80, and your thoughts will be just as bright.

@ljvob 2 года назад

wow, this was an awesome video, idk why but i felt like crying too, i don't really know why but i can somewhat imagine how it feels like. its so true what you said, when we want or need something we cant force it, we just have to develop for it in all the appropriate aspect to achieve it, that resonated with me and i felt that. hey best of the wishes for the future of this channel, i really love and enjoy your videos, it makes my day better and gives me inspiration and hope that i can do better if i keep trying.

@leahpettit4477 2 года назад

Listening to you is so cathartic for me. Your monologues sound like my inner monologue, and I always wonder if anyone else has thoughts, notices their thoughts, analyzes their thoughts, and then arranges their thoughts into a larger picture/philosophy. It’s nice to see someone who I admire and enjoy who is like me, and realize that 1) I’m not a total weirdo and 2) I can be likeable (since you are so very, very likeable). So I guess thank you.

This was one of the most meaningful videos of yours for me. I've been watching your videos a lot recently when I got back into the groove of wanting to live such a life, like van life, even though its not achievable for me right now. I love the lessons in this video, they really match my life right now and I know that me watching this video happened for a reason and I am so grateful. Though it might have been a special experience for you in one way, it is special for so many others too. Thanks for posting this Mariah

Can't wait to come along for more of your adventures and I hope the new friends you've made become lifelong friendships ❤

Love spending time with you and I'm way older than 35! Love the videos and the insights you have, and you're right about everything happens for a reason. You do an awesome job. Thanks for bringing me. And a shout-out to Thomas for his care and his goodness in taking care of your concerns.

@Castaway_Chuck 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm much older but not that different. I finally figured out that I'm an ambivert; mostly introvert that needs people sometimes and can be an extrovert occasionally but then needs to retreat to re-charge. It's OK to be who you are and what you are!

@pcavana12345 2 года назад

@Quantum36911 2 года назад

This was the first videos of yours I've ever seen.. I immediately related to everything you said, how sometimes when you want and need things, important things like friendship, or self-confidence, it's not always there right away, and you don't really know until later it's because you weren't quite ready... it takes so much faith and patience to get through those times of limbo. If I was a van-lifer, I would definitely want you at my campfire! I'm hoping it's not too late for me, thank you for being an inspiration for single females! You are a beautiful soul. Subbed today, looking forward to catching up on your videos.

Hi. I love your content. Don’t quit. I am so glad you made some good friends. I am 55 and disabled so I don’t work. I got a van with a bed because I got back pain and I need to lay flat for relief . I have done a few small trips but nothing like you do. How’s the spider bite? Years ago a girl In college was bit and that thing stuck around for months. If it’s MRSA it would have looked like volcano with in three days. If MRSA go to ER right away. I’m sure you are OK . I love your van.

Speaking of "looking back at 80". ..we ran into the coolest 80+ year old gal living in van while on family road trip last summer (2021) she was such a great spirit. She chose to just sell everything and wander. We were WAY up in a forest road in SW Montana. Such fun.

@frenchfryfarmer436 2 года назад

Her name was Carol, she was in a Transit Connect or small Dodge. I think it was red (don't remember) but I am SURE she's STILL out there. Probably in SW this winter. Super nice lady. She said "my children worry I will be found dead in my van someday" .... "thats how I WANT to go!" She was having her adventure. "I raised my children, worked a career, now I want to do what I WANT to do" ...she was FUN!

If your down, be patient and time will make you forget. Your channel is a good example of this. Just be, just experience, except all the wonderful emotions good or bad.

Desert tarantulas are pretty common in the desert SW, mostly in Texas and New Mexico. They do bite and it is a tad painful when it happens, much like a bee or wasp sting, but is not life threatening. Their poison is pretty lame on the scale of spider bites. In fact, these "brown back" tarantulas usually won't bite unless pressured.

@VeVeJT23 2 года назад

You know that quote by Khalil Gibran? “The deeper sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” I’ve always thought it explains the happy crying that starts as we get older and learn more about what really has value to us.

What you said about RU-vid not working out until you were ready and not making friends until you were ready really stuck with me, thank you Mariah! Sometimes I get in my head about not being good enough at making friends or building my RU-vid channel, but these things take time and patience and it will work out when I least expect it, when I’m ready to take on those new adventures! I’m glad to see you so happy, I’ve been watching from those difficult periods last year and have been rooting for you. I admire how open you are with your emotions and your willingness to share. You bring honesty and humanity to this platform! ❤️

The art of patience! I'm in my 40's and still working on it. Every time I practice patience and things come together better than they would have I have to thank my husband for reminding me to be patient. So glad you made some friends in Sedona. Sedona is such a magical place that should never leave you feeling lonely. Hope you make back to the area again sometime.

I’m so glad to see that you made some friends. I’ve been following you for quite a while. I’ve been thinking about investing in a van and they really bring everything to reality but almost a little too sad to make me wanna do it. But this video is a really good one. Keep up the good spirits and now that the Lord is watching over you❤️🙏

Very good timing, just came from Quartzsite and Skooliepalooza and had a similar experience! Happy for you :)

From one guitar player to another, 🤘🏽. Now from an ER nurse to RU-vid friend, keep a close eye on the elbow and if it is still giving you discomfort you may want to get a checked out at an urgent care. I’m hoping by the time you posted this video that it is much better but if not, you might want to get it looked at.

Bonjour Mariah from The French part of Canada, Québec. Maybe you’ll read this, probably you won’t. Have seen all your videos. A few thoughts on anxiety. As a solo female, you do have to be concious of all that go wrong : what if they don’t like me, what if i don’t like them, what if a crazy person knocks on the door, etc. All those things are possible, but unlikely. Be prepared, but also entertain the thought that they may like you, and you them. That knock might be from someone super cool that is offering help or wanting to invite you to a camp fire. Good things are also possible. I like that you keep it real. Fin is a great dog. À la semaine prochaine.
