Preparing for Summer! ft. an unexpected journey (Story 85) 

You're a one woman army and I absolutely love it! ❤️ I'm a 33 year old male from Greece and I've decided to "semi" ditch society and build my own home in Greek countryside, fingerscrossed I'm starting next spring 🌱🤞 wish me luck

Rosie, I don’t know if you know what the political climate in the US is like but I can tell you it’s pretty grim. You’re my oasis of calm, competence, determination and humor, an escape. Thank you for helping with my mental health :) 🤗

Hahaha, the end! My parents were campers, and they went on long hikes and camped in the forest. As an adult child, I refused this! I moved to a big city and started building a corporate girly lifestyle. But I was unhappy, and for over a decade, I couldn’t wrap my head around why I was struggling with my dream life. Here I am, 32 years old, who has moved to the countryside and switched to a remote contract to be able to go camping and go on long hikes alone with my dog wandering in the woods and dipping in creeks. And I’ve never been happier. I guess we can’t change what we hoard in our DNA 🤣😂

I think a lot of parents would be happy if their kids form of rebellion would be hiking

As a woman in the US, I am always nervous seeing you camp alone in the woods. It’s a reminder that there are safer and more peaceful places to be found.

How to spot a (fellow) Dutch person : 'Hey, let me show you my shed full of bikes' 🚲😊

Dear Rosie, your videos are refreshing, empowering and inspirational. I enjoy the calmness of nature and your creations. I often have a smile on my face while watching. And today I laughed out loud at the end..."don't we all turn at least a bit into our parents, if we want it or not?!.😂"

There's nothing like company coming to get all those odds and ends of projects done. They'll never know how much work you put into the place, but it's a real testimony to your ingenuity, hard work, and discipline. You've learned so much.

what we see here is a solitary Forrest elf in it's natural habitat.

Mind blown here... sewing, building, gardening, biking & tent camping and she includes drone shots on her journey. You are amazing Rosie.

You have to be one of the most amazing people on earth. I can’t fathom your ingenuity, strength and bravery.

I so appreciate you taking us along on your adventure to get your new bike. Between the distance, the rain, your tiredness...that fact that you stop and film and chat etc is just mind blowing. Your commitment to your channel is so much appreciated. I just love watching your place in this world. Thanks you 🙏

❤ Rosie, Thank you for you. What I notice,...for all your projects, how soft, feminine and delicate your hands and nails are. Impressive. Patient hands for sure.

Your videos are like watching a cinema production. Your so brave to travel and stealth camp alone. Dehydration must be taken seriously. Your an intelligent young lady that we are amazed by. I love your bumble bee material and await your creation.

Take those big sheets of wood and make doors for the wood storage so that the wood does not get wet.

Hello ☺. I'm 72 now and have cycled all my life. But we always carried water, food, and high energy snacks! Cycling takes up so much energy. You don't have to be diabetic for your sugar levels to drop and for you to pass out. More clothes, you can always take off what you don't need. More food, you can always leave what you dont need. Attach a pannier rack to your new bike. Take care Rosie, I thought you actually looked quite ill ... Sending love & light 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ xx

We all seem to turn into our parents. I am 79 and every time I look at my hands I see my mother’s hands exactly! I actually gives me a warm feeling now. The older I got the wiser I realized my parents were! Now I thank God everyday for them because they helped me become who I am now and I am pretty pleased whit who that person is! I love watching your channel because I am so impressed at the skills you have and how you have chosen to live your life. I married at 18 because I was afraid to live alone but divorced at 28 because I really didn’t like living with someone so have been living alone since then and love every minute of it. Your ability to do all that you do is so impressive. There are several youtube channels where I watch young European people who have amazing skills and abilities unlike anything American young people have and I am so very impressed.

I am a 78 yearss old and your endeavours have encouraged mé to get the paint out and do the wood work myself😅 love to you all,from Ireland .

Living the life of Rosie vicariously from far away Boise. I love that you wear protective gear when building projects around the home. But I cringe when I see you go from here to there, often in the middle of nowhere, without a helmet! I'm recovering from surgery after being jumped on my bike by an unleashed dog. Thankfully, I was wearing a helmet. I'm grateful that all I needed was a plate and pins in my elbow. Stepping off my soapbox and looking forward to the next videos, you brilliant young woman!

Its funny how having a visitor can drive you to finish things! Or at least do a massive clean up in my case. Love the fabric doors and will keep things from getting dusty.

I am here at a speed of light for Rosie! ❤

You produce videos that are like an oasis; calming, interesting, and creative. Thank you.

Woman... the most charming creature by nature! She's brilliant at coming up with a way to mount a step and incredibly sweet at admitting to using the wrong light switch! That's probably why we men love them so much... lovely and charming sorceresses! Respect from Russia! 😄😊

Rosie, you are not only a talented woodworker but you are Wonder Woman! My goodness that was a long trip!! I love your videos!! Thank you for sharing your life with me.

Always, always, always my mind is boggled by every single thing this Rosie gal does. 🥰

vous réussisiez tout ce que vous entreprenez! vous êtes pourtant perfectionniste, méticuleuse, maniaque (?) , ... votre manière de faire m'enchante! vous avez "la tête bien faite"; expression française! toujours un réel plaisir de vous re trouver! merci du partage!

Your amazing with your self discipline and will to try new and difficult things on your own.

The bee fabric is amazing! Also, I wanted to tell you that you inspired me to build my own workbench. I improved upon your design by adding hinges so the braces can fold in and the top can fold down when I'm not using it so it won't be in the way. Its working amazing and I wanted to thank you!

For those who don't know you used to adventure around the world, this may seem out of context. I'm glad to see you're reincorporating this into your life.

Rosie, your joy in your own company is so refreshing.. you are the most self sufficient person I know of. A reminder to take joy from the little things around us.

What a blessing to become our parents!

Having studied film making, im always bowled over by your cinematography, content and editing on top of the constant inspiration and beautiful escapism your videos provide. I always think I’d love to see you and your journey in a documentary about your connection with nature, self sufficiency and inspiring resilience as a woman choosing to live on your own and build your own home miles away from Any towns without a car. I don’t think you’re aware how much peace, joy and inspiration you provide to so many women with your beautifully shot videos. 😍

Na 85 video's van je bekeken te hebben, wil ik graag mijn complimenten aan je geven. Elke keer als je een nieuwe video online hebt gezet, voel ik een vreugdesprongetje. Zelfs na 85 video's over m.n. jouw huisje en het mooie werk wat jij daarin verricht geniet ik van elke video. Dit komt mede door de zeer professionele editing (ja ik weet dat hier vele uren werk achter zitten) en de grote zorgvuldigheid waarmee jij werkt. Roos (Rosie), jouw werk is naar ik vermoed een inspiratie voor velen en ik hoop dan ook dat er nog vele video's zullen volgen! 😌❤

I hope you're looking back over your videos - to see how far you've come!!! Your tool handling skill has become so fluent, which ties closely to your design ideas. So I'm thinking you are going to become more expressive of reflecting your personality in your future creations! It's pretty exciting to see someone developing so remarkably.

I don't know if you wept with relief when you got home, I practically did for you. Love the wardrobe doors by the way ❤

It's 3.25am here in KSA. Sitting in bed with my teething baby. Your videos are a treat. Truly. Have been checking for notifications all day. Lol. I'm invested in your videos

oh my, I love your courage and many talents-and your humor! You are a marvel!!❤

I never want your videos to end. Absolute highlight of my fortnight. I’m not as brave as you but because of you, I am packing in the rat race and moving to the countryside in Tasmania to live as sustainably as I can. I want to buy a place with a workshop, so I can attempt som DIY too and renovate furniture. Thanks for being such an inspiration.

I’m amazed at how brave you are to sleep in the woods by yourself you live in a beautiful country 🇬🇧😊

An idea about where to store the sheet goods- maybe under the mattress/bed in the guest house? They could be out of the way,, still lying flat so they don't warp, and kept nice for when you eventually need to use them. I have grown to really enjoy your channel, and you help me keep going on my home/farm building projects, as well as rekindle my joy for sewing. When I get stuck, I just say, "hey, Rosie can do it, just keep at it!" It doesn't hurt that my mom's name was Rosy, and honestly, she could do just about anything. Keep up the good work!

I just love your sense of humor!!! 😊

Oh Rosie I just love your calm, methodical approach & your beautiful deep stoicism. You are a gorgeous soul & glorious gift 💕🎁 God bless 💖🙏

I’m my dad now and my mom! Learned handy skills from both of them and glad I did! Don’t need a man around! I prefer it that way.

And such is life, that we can enjoy something so sweet and pure as bees on a dress...you never cease to amaze Rosie...and by the way, the new bike is just the cutest...!

you are an ingenious, imaginative, creative person and very accomplished I hope you are very proud of your self..

Yay, new video!

You certainly can be classed as a traveller. Riding your bike just calms you and you see the beauty all around you. You are so fortunate that you chose to live in Sweden, where you don’t have to be afraid sleeping in the forest by yourself. Hope you enjoy your friend’s visit.

We all turn into our parents in one way or another. Glad you had a nice journey and it looked so peaceful.

Rosie I’m so happy to see you use a weed eater to clear the grass. Next I hope to see you on your very own riding lawn mower. Maybe a sponsor will want to market their product for you to showcase one. I adore your cute new bike Rosie😊❤ Especially since the e-bikes have to be charged, are great for short distance day trips. So happy for you! I live in the USA 🇺🇸 and where I live there are plenty places to camp and feel safe, as I have looked at places to stay since watching your RU-vid channel. You’ve inspired me to start collecting items for a short day camping ⛺️ trip of my own! Thank you! I can’t wait for your next video🥳

❤❤❤My English is terrible. I follow you from Italy and it’s a joy for me on sunday, when I can see your new video. You give me peace in my heart and in my head. And I need it so much. I adore you and your creations. You have made, the house of my dreams. You are, a great smile every week, of my life. Thank you for all that you give me, with your semplicity and kindness! I hope you have a good week and sorry for my english. See you soon Thank you dear!❤❤❤

Fabric doors came out amazing! Love that you designed them to ‘breathe’ so the clothes don’t get stagnant.

Love your hard work! Please a video review on the bike 🙏🏻, it looks amazing!

Buying a bicycle, and then ride it home, is a special feeling. As Rosie, do not hesitate over the distance home, the longer the distance the greater experience. After all, the things that we buy, we should spend time using and enjoying.

Your home is looking wonderful! I had to laugh at the end, today my 22yo daughter was listing off some things she wanted to learn and suddenly turned to me and said "OMG I sound like you! And I spent so many years rebelling!"

Thought I would give you a compliment. When I do a project either with sewing, painting or cutting wood, I usually move at a fast pace like I’m in a hurry to get somewhere. Something I’ve noticed is that you don’t do that, and your projects come out beautifully. I need to slow down and appreciate what I’m doing! Thank you! 😊

Rosie, once again you never cease to amaze me.. your simplistic way of life that you’ve chosen has so many rewards and you’ve chosen to share it with us. Your happiness shines through despite the challenges you face, you find a way. Your wardrobe doors look amazing, clearing the guesthouse for your friends arrival has got so many jobs done, a huge relief for you. The stairs look awesome and your cycle home was lovely to watch. You must be so proud. Have a lovely week ahead and as always I look forward to your next video 😊

Enjoy your summer fun Rosie. Love your inspiring videos

Seeing you’ve posted a new episode always brings a smile to my face and it stays, right through to the touch of humour you add at the end. Thank you Rosie.

You always sneak the must subtle comedic relief into your videos and I thoroughly appreciate it!!! 1) Using the wrong light switch; and 2) Part 3. 😜😂🤪🙂 I know technically it's Sweden but I think of it as Magicland. It's so beautiful and I look forward to more of your cycling adventures! Please consider giving us a "tour" of your bike? I'm so curious why you chose it, the tires (traveling on non paved surfaces), packing it up with all your gear, etc.

You have incredible tenacity and audacity to create your world. An example of strength for us all! I admire you !

Stunning video! Your editing and drone skills have really gone next level, so beautiful! Quick tip, as a cyclist I highly recommend that you get some proper cycling shorts ( with padding for your bum) and use some “chamois cream” that will IMMENSELY improve comfort and enjoyment on the bike, and reduce risk of chafing and potential sores in that area, (It happens, and isn’t fun and Will leave you off the bike for a good while!) love seeing you enjoy bike riding to explore!

really I thought I was alone in the world when I think 'the obvious solution to buying a bike is to take a train ride to a distant city and then spend a few days cycling it home!' So lovely to have your inspiration so kindred spirits can live life vicariously through your adventures :D I wanna jump up and down and talk about how you should cheaply insulate your cottage etc, so when you're ready for that perhaps ask the audience for pointers? Meanwhile, now I plan to do a wander this summer just to see how far and how many days I can get from home :D

The light switch. Thats hilarious. We all have had those moments and the thing is when you solve it the problem being fixed easily makes you feel so happy that the whole episode does not feel so bad.

A stunningly beautiful video! The repeating s-curve motif through all those travelling shots was just exquisite attention to detail.

The amount of times I audibly said, "you go Rosie!", or "get it girl" during this video we'll exceeded the double digits. Your independence and calm inspire me. You don't know a trial, you push though them and learn around them and I am so floored by that. I know this is one side of it all, but your strength gives strength even through a screen. Thak you for that Rosie ❤

So lovely to see that you picked great lifestyle from your parents - cycling. It's good for your health , covers lots of terrain and you are able to see lot of beautiful nature and explore .

I've just made two windows covers just like your wardrobe doors to keep the mosquitoes out . I now can sleep with the window open without being eaten alive . Beautiful videography

Ah yes, the problem of the ever-growing fabric stash! So many ideas, so little time -_- But buing fabrics is half of the fun!

Such a clever girl 🥳🦋🎉

you're the best! been to your other sites you are a powerful woman who lives your life not others.

You can't take the "Roaming" out of Rosie! I'm happy to join you on your new version of adventuring, and on your homecoming to your self-made house.

Rosie....You are my twin but your talents far exceed mine. My life has been solitary and I have spent time in places Women were told not to go. You will never discover who you are by staying in a comfort zone Women. Live your life.

Rosie you are the most unique and adventurous person on the internet. I love your channel and have watched every episode. And I have read your travel blogs. Thanks, as always, for sharing. Have fun with your friend!!

I do not sew particularly well, but do love the quiet patience and work of the process. Save the headache and splurge on a battery operated staple gun...omword, they are a dream 🥰

This gal/lady is worth her weight in gold. I can do nothing but admire her.

I really can’t wait for u to start new sewing projects! At the moment i am also sewing my summer wardrobe.

Everything about your channel is so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us 😊

Beautiful, strong, practical, honest, Talented, if we where all like you the world would be a better place Thank you for sharing your life with us Christopher

I find it so inspiring how you live your life

It will be so nice for your friend to visit you. Guesthouse is sweet and yard is beautiful and let's not forget your special greenhouse. You have accomplished so much already. You must be so proud to show your property. Keep on doing such a great job. You have obviously inspired others to try live as they dream too. Hurrah to that!!

Awesome video, Rosie. I have to say, your melding of music with image is spot on...beautiful!

I bow for your courage. Spending the night alone in the forest takes a lot of courage. I wouldn't have the courage. I envy your attitude to life and your abilities. I'm sitting here, it's early in the morning, drinking a coffee and watching your video. It calms me down a lot and now I have the strength to start the day. Thank you for that 🫂

I think you got guts and determination ! Wish I'd had more when I was young !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are making a great life for yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are wonderful, wondrous, and as precious as they come❤️

So fun. Love the channel. Big smile. 😊

I turned into my parents. It happens to the best of us!

It happens to the best of us! 😂😂😂

your videos just keep getting better and better

It’s inevitable that we imitate our parents in one way or another. The good thing is your rebellion was a healthy choice too 😂

You are amazing, Rosie! Am really enjoying following you and your work. This was an amazing journey for you!

Love your videos Rosie ❤

One of the best upgrades I made to my toolkit was an electric stapler. So much easier to use than the manual.

Rosie, you are a force of nature! It was such a treat to see your video today! I hope you had a wonderful visit with your friend. The homestead is really looking wonderful. Thanks for sharing.😊

You are truly so strong and determined.

The light switch. You were pressing the wrong lightswitch. 😂😂😂 You are so funny. So much humour. I guess we are all a chip off the old block. 😂 What an epic video of all the things you did. The bike ride home, filming, and stealth camping is unbelievable. Well done Rosie. You are are such a fighter. I hope you are having fun with your friend. 🤗👋💖

I really like the use of fabric as an insert to the closet doors. It looks so charming. Your friend will be amazed at your home, and you can proudly say that you made everything yourself!! Kudos! Your home looks so unique but beautiful and functional.

What an inspiration you are Rosie. Such a beautiful place, no snakes in the woods or other creepy things, including strangers. I love watching your journey.

You are so creative and talented. Thanks for sharing the beautiful countryside and your biking adventure.

I find these videos really inspirational. Thanks Rosie.

I would totally make a dress (or anything) out of that "bee" fabric! So cute!
