I've been watching nearly all your videos since I was 14. You got me into the advanced selfie concept. And now I'm 23😭 sometimes it feels like time has passed so quickly and I've lost the person I used to be. But I still love watching your videos and seeing your change and growth. It's a good reminder that things happen in life. We change. We grow up. But that doesn't mean that we become any less of who we used to be. I guess I feel overwhelmed by the idea that I am getting too late. Due to peer pressure maybe. Everyone seems to be getting married, in relationships, and I've started to feel like I've missed out on that young romance that leads to a wonderful marriage. When we're young we have all those dreams and plans, but when the time comes and things don't go the way we wanted them to, we feel like our story has ended. But it's important to remind ourselves that there's so much more to life. I look at your videos and think, look u can be utterly happy and experience life to the fullest even by being single. One day Sorelle will find her person and it will be proof that not only 17-18 year olds can have that type of "story" that they show in movies and books. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the video. You are such an inspiration. I'm feeling a bit sad today and your videos remind me that my whole life is ahead of me. And I have big dreams which I should strongly believe in. Everything will fall into place perfectly in the right time❤
Things don't just fall into place at the "right" time, but also when you least expect it, generally when you've let go of wanting things to turn out a certain way, they then suddenly do, and often it's kinda inconvenient when the thing you hoped might happen does happen. So you then have to realise that the inconvenient timing which might make it hard to roll with the thing or take advantage of an opportunity, is actually the "right" time. You'll get there :) 23 is just the beginning of so many adventures.
I’m 20 in a few months and f I really felt this, thank you. I am behind on many “milestones” of being our age and it’s feels so weird. But your right out lives don’t end when we are twenty, in reality it starts again. Our generation is obsessed with time and sometimes we need to step away from that and realize that sometimes time isn’t always everything.
@@abbytheredwolf174 Hey Abby, and good morning from cold southern Australia to wherever you are :) that's a great attitude! Life happens in chapters. Some of them are only a few years long like primary or high school, or uni or an apprenticeship. Some of them are a decade long simply because we mark time and others things in arbitrary groups of ten and so we *feel* different when we have a particular birthday. That's also a sign to ourselves of our shifting mindset, and choosing to be a renewed version of ourselves when an event or milestone happens - Sorelle has done that several times. Chapters in our work and personal and activity lives overlap with different and sometimes inconvenient start and end times. They're all opportunities to look at what we've done and who we are and say "I'm going to try being like *this* for a few years and see how it pans out". That experience then leads to the next. Best wishes to you!
@@davidr7236 thank you for this I really appreciate it. It’s been hard and everything now and then I let myself slump but try to get back up and remember that the sun will rise. It’s a goal of mine to take any and everything opportunities available to me and run with them. I don’t know where I want to go and what I want for myself so it’s been hard to have motivation and remember what I’ve already over come and what I am capable of. I hope that you have a wonderful day, I’m going to screen shot this because it’s a good reminder for me.
Just found your channel and you are nice surprise. I love the way your brain works. Stay in the moment as much as possible, that's where the fun is. for that matter that's where everything is. Good luck on your journey, stay safe.
As a Trucker, Make sure to get plenty of exercise lower body ( Do stomach vacuums and planks to avoid hernias and stretching for knees and hip flexors/ spine health to avoid inflammation in those joints and watch your shoulder joints position when holding the steering wheel .) Traveling in a van can get old pretty quickly! Do those Audio books! love your content! Cheers!
Regarding the one person calling you "Privileged" You clearly resonate with that one way or another. Whether you haven't acknowledged it (personally) for yourself (as in noticed and gave thanks for the hand you were dealt) or you've just been beating yourself up/way too hard on yourself and feel like you should be doing more/further along in life. If people were calling you obese I doubt it would be getting to you (making an IG post + multiple stories about it etc.) in the same way. You know you're not. And your perception would have to be incredibly distorted to think you were. I had to dig through the mounds and mounds of pure positive praise to even find the ONE (out of 78) comments saying you are privileged. Personally that's (labeling someone as privileged) never even something that remotely crosses my mind when watching people online. But the attributes that person stated (that you have) are beneficial in society. So it's not like they are wrong. Simply being a female grants people an absolutely insane advantage over men when it comes to garnering attention online. The bar for what a women has to do to achieve attention literally could not be any lower. Some women tap their iPhones, sleep and consistently rake in money and views. (Obviously you provide more value than that) With that said, (in your case) anyone who brings up privilege: 1. Hasn't been following your journey at all and therefore doesn't know the slightest thing about you AND 2. Is simply calling you that as an excuse for them to feel better about their own lives (i.e by calling you privileged they are essentially patting themselves on the head and telling themselves "It's ok that you aren't in Sorelle's position. You weren't born into the same circumstances as her so just keep wallowing in your pity as you continue to make excuses for yourself 🙃) On top of that you've obviously worked very hard (to say the least) to get where you are and you've even documented it to help others (and of course it acts as proof as well). Two things can coexist. You can be privileged and be incredibly hard working. It's not like you handpicked your genes, parents, traits etc. before birth. You choosing to make the most out of the cards you were dealt does not diminish what you've accomplished. But maybe you need to tell yourself that first. If someone is choosing to see what you've accomplished through a "She's so lucky" lens. Then they clearly and genuinely DON'T want to better themselves. They want to stay at the level they're at in life and would rather make excuses than make any effort to grow.
Your voice matters so much and the way that you choose to live your life is truly inspirational. I've been following you for years and I just love watching how your beautiful journey unfolds. Thank you for being so authentically you 🤍
Omg I was loving your clothes throughout the video, and then seeing you make them yourself...obsessed! If you ever sold a clothing line, we'd buy them!
Dear Sorelle. I've been following you since a long time. I've trough a similar situation at 31, in a way worst way, did it for my future self, the presentself thanks her,believe me, following your values, in a smart way, will pay, as much as you understand what to ajust as much as you can, and let go what you have to, love you so much and big hug
A remarkable woman. I was once knew a soul like Sorelle. An unforgettable person. My soul still longs for those days, that sweet spot we once had. That is, before the system began pinching my finances and attention. I long for that freedom and love again. And have ever sense
I only just found you and really enjoy your channels... As for what you 'need' to put on your car.....i would go to 4x4 shows and see what's available while remembering most people have their bias or are selling you something. You said gvm upgrade... awesome!! Double fuel, triple water, nice shower which can be solar heated Lithium battery with big solar Fridge you've said Generic maxxtrax plus recovery gear... straps etc Winch with SYNTHETIC ROPE for peace of mind!! But take a course on its use!! Happy days!!!
Aaaahhhh! I watched yesterday’s video and was sad when it was over and what a wonderful surprise to get another one so soon after!! I love it 😄 thank you ❤
Sorelle, love this. So much respect for you going off and trying new things. Good luck on the road, beautiful adventures are on your horizon! Cheers, from someone living van life in North America the last two years!
It is so cool to see you enjoy the spaces of yourself that you have been discovering and finally playing with, once again, and allowing yourself to allow and have it [these familiar joys with simplicity and basics, perhaps, in the ways we all once felt when the world felt still as the winds would brush itself through the spaces left between the leaves and branches, when we played with our pets as equals and laughter became of it, or we had seen the world as one phat playground all for us to explore and play in]. When I saw the part of this clip where you brought into form what you have been learning to create [seriously, so cool...I cant wait to learn to sew...even if I just tell someone what to do and how I like it, which I like far better any way, super exciting for me to try soon, and it makes me feel so happy that you are doing it because like...I get it and I see you as clear as I can see, presently. I had a feeling that your last video were pants you wore that you had made, seriously so dope] it brought me to an epiphany I was experiencing, clearly, just, I think today or yesterday, fairly recent...the recognizing of how much of one's life can be easily driven inaccurately simply from underdeveloped skills learned, or not learned, inaccurately (not one is exempt from experiences with deficiencies of any kind, our ancestry, not one). Learning business and marketing, learning my lineage, learning how to sharpen up on psyche, and furthering my own curiosities (being brave or courageous even when I feel the least bit supported) has been teaching me a lot about patterns, behaviors, and various other "weak-spots", experienced from the framework of the "foundation" I was given and that I potentially had continued [I have been thinking about depreciation, foundation, support, quality, value, worth]. Like...I am just now getting into the habit of creating (things I have yet to be able to experience freely or intentionally, with my support in place, like, 6 months ago I did not realize the quality of my own support in the way that I am realizing the quality now), walking myself through tar, or sludge, for beliefs and various other issues I did not yet realize [like today's other epiphany was how so many generations have carried on the unresolved issues that kids, puppies, any being young in spirit and in heart before joy, and play, and freedom, became "trained away" in order to compensate for what is not being/feeling supported, accurately...I am learning how to solve my own problems, ah, there we go. I have never done that before...not in the way that I am intentionally doing it, with the quality of support that I have been watching me give, create, and be intentional with, for me these days]...the whole idea of products, valuing yourself, supporting yourself, and realizing that you never actually had to work for anyone, or anything, gabagool blah, stuff. lol. Solving problems when support is necessary has been an interesting thing to think about.
Yes, get out of the rent trap. Paying nearly 3k a month for a condo box is outrageous, very difficult to get ahead that way. I recently said goodbye to city life (I can always visit,) and am catching up quick with a minimalistic (but not?) life in the country.
So much magic in your answers ✨️ the clothing is looking AMAZING! I also have a love for sustainable fashion, so would love to hear how your course and pieces are coming along!
Yup, I’ll be 59 in a couple weeks, been living a free human life for decades. I rent a studio in the US near my family as a base and I own a couple really cheap flats in Italy. I’m beginning a new venture. Sometimes I get down , sometimes I’m so excited with life. I remember to stay in gratitude because everything in this life is temporary. Keep doing you, you are an inspiration xx
I’m new to your channel somehow stumbled upon it. Very enjoyable ive myself purchased a freedom machine but I’m always working 😂 Life is full of work work work. Look forward to see what u do with the troopy and the adventures. Keep smiling great smile.
I hope to see you on the road somewhete around Oz. Next month, im starting my own adventure by travelling very slowly up to Cape. Have a great time and dont worry about 4wd, Troopy is bulletproof car taht will take you amazing places even withou all that fruits you think you need. You'll be alright 👍
I totally agree with you on trading your time for money, only do that if you are forced to ,like if nothing else is working. Have you tried tropical? Is winter encroaching on Australia already. I can't imagine you wanting to go back to Iceland or surfing in that frigid weather , that's worse than it gets here probably worse than it gets in the northern states, maybe not , I would like to go somewhere tropical for the winter not somewhere colder. I'm glad you are still in good spirits , I think you have a lively dynamic personality, it's really weird when you get in one of your down moods .
16:37 thank you so much for pointing this out🌊 it is by developing our own version of life and reality that we can become truly free, not by just being anti-everything-that-has-been-up-to-now. I hope more and more people look at what has been up to now as beautiful contrast for guidance and step into the empowerment of focusing on their preferences and visions they carry deep in their hearts. I think this might be where real change starts happening❤🔥
You have to be happy in the moment. Running from something will only make you realize that wherever you go, there you are. And how did you know that was my favorite book.
Hi sorelle, do you think that if you’d have been more in tune with your femenin energy in your years of finally hustle you’d have end up being financially free or rich?
Sorrel you are a very lucky young lady to be given all the beautiful opportunities and adventures that you have been blessed with. You are an amazing person with a beautiful smile and a lovely soul. I would love to be able to go travel around the country with you to all of the amazing surf beaches for waves and fishing. 🌊🎣💚🤙 Ps. come pick me up, how many surfboards and fishing rods should i pack ?
The are some 4X4 courses available. Learn to unleash TROOPYS potential and maximise safety. Even changing a tyre needs to be experienced on a large vehicle. ❤
ahhhh so beautiful !!! subscriber since 2017 and it's such a beautiful experience to witness you going through so many stages of your life 🌺 loved the video !
I think you are not thinking enough about how priviliged you are when ansswering these questions especially around income streams... you are slim, white, naturally sporty and society standard beautiful. Plus you have a lot of charisma. People buy from people so your leverage is not your skills but you as a person.
You are right to some degree, but life is not fair in some mathematical sense. In the same way a young man in traids has it easier to earn more then an older one if we assume the rest is similar between the two.
Perhaps maybe it’s just YOU. Sorelle inspires me. So does M.I.A, Gabby Reese and Larid Hamilton, Francis Ngannou… Your privilege narrative teaches us to internalize gaslighting instead offering genuine empathy If I listened to all the people that tell me how oppressed I and my histories are as a black native woman from small town Alaska, I would not be a “privileged” free human. It’s a life philosophy Politely, FOH
I have followed u for a little while wen I say little while a year now hope wat I say helps u find u again take time an sit an listen to the world going by we are here for a little while not long time mederta an hold ur head highy freedom u feel inside ur self all the best hope we can be friends on here
Sorelle I'm loving following along on this journey with you! Question: what do you do to protect yourself on the road and in the wild from either animals or just protection in general? Thanks for sharing it all with us!❤
i often wonder this too and there is so many stories, even going off the main roads without a winch just goes to show maybe we are all just a little bit paranoid or over protective to our environments
She'll have less need of either kind of protection now she's in Australia, it's remarkably safe for solo travel and the dangerous critters are generally scared of big clunky humans making noise as they pass by, even quiet dainty humans like Sorelle.
Sorelle, Ive grown to love your life philosophy over the year. And something that irks me to my core is the magnifying lens on your identity Philosophically, I am also a free human being - free from the shackles of the narrative that tells me how oppressed I am as a black native woman. Free from the conventional 9-5. And free to live life on my own terms. I don’t own a home, I’m not rich, I’m not retired. I travel between my hometown in Alaska, WA, Cali. I went to my friends wedding in Mexico. I’m learning to cold water surf here in the PNW. I’m a stay at home mom by choice. I’m a licensed massage therapist that allows me an amazing income that lets me work whenever I want, if I want. And I’m in love with my amazing blue-collared husband. You inspired me to pick up photography to diversify my streams of income for my family. I don’t know the reality of your life, but I do know my own. I am privileged to be alive, free, and free thinking. All that said, Keep being you, I love it 🖤🌀🤌
Your life is so rad! I love what you’ve created for yourself. My question…what do you mean about that irking you to your core? Could you expand on that further please? 🥹
@@SorelleAmore YES, IRKing me to MY CORE. I’ve read a lot of comments asking you to stamp PRIVILEGED across your forehead as a way to assure us viewers that you’re a free human because you’re a pretty, fit, white girl whose only skill is in having rich parents and humor From my bias point of view, I think it’s… distasteful. I know Mexican lineman that buy ridiculous rigs, native women that travel the world… a lot of unattractive broke white girls with rich fisherman dads Your uniqueness and work ethic is a solid credential to where you’re at in life, as is mine IMO
Fuck, Savon thank you so much for seeing me. This is so tiring for me to read. It’s actually eating me up to the core so your comment came at such an important time. Thank you thank you thank you!
It's quite strange when you thank us for being with you on your journey :D Sometimes I feel it is little bit like when you read some good and long book and you love it, you need to see how it goes but in the same moment you are afraid that you will reach the end and you will have to leave your favouite hero. I really don't know, how long I am following you on youtube :D I remember time when you shaved your head, when you travel the world, move to iceland, has a creative crisis... so... it is definitley long time :D So... lets take it from another side. (probably from side od quite big amout of people here on your chanel) Thank you for doing videos and bring us with you! I hope that the joy from creation stick with you and this "book" will never end :D
You're going to love this part of your life! I'm an adventurous photographer who is always exploring, and seeing all the beautiful thing's. Though I am unfortunately based in one place and do all my branching our from there. Lots of weekend road trips and 2 too 3 week adventures living on the road. I absolutely love it. Though I will tell you that 12 months is a tight schedule to do a round trip of Australian, and that's usually a coastal trip. From what I've seen of Australia, inland and country Australia is just as beautiful and filled with more hidden gems than I can pock a stick at. My journey so far has been nothing short of amazing. I'd honestly suggest up to 3 years going around Australia. You could zig zag a lot of it, from coast to just off the coast and back out again, that alone would be a 2 year run. Though unfortunately I haven't been able to find a love who is able to join me on my adventures, so it's been a solo journey for me. But man, building my 4wd rig was one of the best things I ever did. Australia is indeed beautiful and I have a list longer than my arm lol
This video popped up in my feed and I clicked on it because of the Troopy and your name is unique. I subbed and would love to live the Overlander/Nomad lifestyle but I’m stuck on a smallish island 9,122km Northeast of you. One day I will get to travel. For now Aloha
Thank you Sorelle, I can relate so deeply to the struggle of finding inner happiness when the outside is just a lot. I have been struggling with that my whole life and I only get short moments of relief, maybe a month or two before it all becomes so painfully hard again. Squish squish is funnily enough the best way to describe it 😂 and it is just at a point where I am so burned out all the time and I am just longing for a little bit of ease and recently I have been feeling this massive pull to also get a 4WD and travel Australia with my dog. And then you happened to start posting on this exact subject and I thought: if this is not a sign, than I don't know! I hope you find the joy in this amazing adventure you are about to embark on, because dang! how blessed that you can get equipped with the greatest gear and have financial stability behind you to do so. You definitely inspire me to become as free as you are, but up until then I will follow your adventures, knowing what I want to work towards to. Time to find a remote job so I can work my ass off and save money for a couple of years I guess 😊
I love all of this, and it resonates sooooo much! Thank you for sharing your journey! I was wondering to ask about the car tent. Would you be willing to share the model with us?
Why does it feel like I have been on the same boat in regards of feeling lost for the last couple of years and only feeling like I'm on the right path since a short time now. Is it the generation we are living in? Is it the changes since corona times that allowed us to refocus and finally focus on our true values? In any case thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings!
You have been a huge inspiration in my life. After surviving a Marine Corps enlistment, I lost myself. From 2016 to now, your content has helped me feel less alone while I get back in touch with the wild woman I've always hoped to be! I can't ever tell you how much you have helped
So, I ran into you on RU-vid just today. It was the video you did when you had lived in Iceland for eight years and had just released some of your own music. Which I took the opportunity to listen to. You have a very nice voice and put your songs together nicely. The themes of the two songs I listened to seem now to be an expression of some of your inner yearnings, but I do need to listen a few times to get all the lyrics. I'm glad you chose to listen to the feeling you had to do something different and move to a location where you could more easily integrate what you had discovered about yourself in the previous eight years. I've explored self for about thirty years now, and would definitely say that it is the best way to utilize all the cool stuff that lies within and bring it into your life. I'm glad I saw this before I decided to leave a comment. It feels like what you did with Iceland was you put yourself in a situation where you were going to sort of be forced to go within. And as you are discovering, all the answers lie there. So now in this new chapter you can begin to express that newly discovered you in new and surprising ways. What I have discovered about the process, is that the inner you has a great ability and awareness to bring you through situations that will bring out the qualities in you, that then put you in the right version of you to enter into those other explorations of life that you would like to have, whatever they are. If you get there too early, you may not have the tools, be the you, you would need to be, to have the experience be as fulfilling and satisfying as you would love it to be. You also look amazing, and I really loved the energy I felt in some of your Iceland segments and what you are expressing now. If you follow your heart, your intuition, your inspiration and stay true to what feels right for you, regardless if it means taking a nap, or going sky diving, I think you will do great. Allowance, self-love and the ability to embrace change and difference can be great aids in the journey. I am adopting the role of the tourist, in the country you once lived in, in the middle of this coming August. I will be going to Iceland for four days, then Ireland and The Isle of Mann for five days each. There is a particular theme of self-exploration I will be following during that trip. I have always loved the videos and photos of Iceland, so I know I need to go back for two to three weeks just to take in more of the country in a more relaxed way. When I saw your Iceland video I mentioned earlier and prior to seeing this, I wondered if I might run into you while I was there. Sort of a synchronicity type of thing. I love the outdoors, being from a place in the U.S. called Minnesota, near the Canadian border. I do a lot of hiking, some backpacking and camping, as well as biking and some kayaking. So, I will of course treat the outdoors of Iceland like my home. Once again, love your voice, glad you are exploring you, and thanks for the insight on Squarespace. I am already signing up, but like some of the tips you shared. You might think about doing a tutorial, your voice has a really nice energy to it. I've had a couple of podcasts for a while now, and have shared my awareness of self with others in those formats in various venues over the years. The website will be a new chapter in that. The podcasts are called Freeform Spiritual Wisdom. Don't usually recommend it to people who have not already explored a bit, but that is not you. Take care, wish you the best.
Great video! Have been following you for years. So glad you’re back in Aus. It really is the most special place. Also just a heads up there is a modified file error at 3:57 xx
Absolutely love it, I hope we cross paths one day! but I live my life in the moment and whatever is meant to be is what is, as I find living in the flow state to be the only way I stay in my favorite state internally :)
You are so very wonderful! I thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you. My life would take so much change and it would influence so many other lives in such a negative way that I couldn't possibly do what you do, but I get small tastes of it with some weekend trips. Thank you for keeping me dreaming!
