Aww yeah you are right! Thanks so much!!

I was one of her students, and she was arguably better then the original teacher, I had a lot more fun when she was teaching

ugh why can't people just be nice😭 yelling is never necessary!

Just scream back how old you are add bxtch for good measure works for the karens too

Right! 😂

Aww thanks so much!! The balance can be tough but life is happening 24/7, not just on cool roadtrips so i try to make it fun even when i have to hustle!! AGREED on brand integrations!!

I definitely will! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!!!

It seriously is. She does what she needs to, to do what she wants😂

Thanks so much!! Yeah always thought I was going to be a teacher so this has been a fun experience to kind of try it out. I love love science and learning in general, feels good to be back in the books a bit!

Thank you!! Yes it is so nice being home and even though its a grind right now, I know I will miss my comfy bed and my family when im back on the road!!

BLESS! Thank you😍

The hero we need! *laugh*

Omg this is so sweet!! Thank you so much!!💗💗💗

its BRUTAL out here😭😭😭😭

Oooo I like this idea! I always thought I wouldn't have enough time to post enough separate content for patreon but posting the same video but without ads is a good idea!

It's one of the hardest jobs I've ever had! I've seen a little bit of the behind the scenes growing up with my mom as a teacher, but being one is a whole other level! very glad she is in the building with me whenever i need help lol

Aww this comment made me so happy. Thank you so much!! Yes so much goes into getting the funds for my travels and putting together my videos. Thanks for watching and subbing!!💗💗

AW this is so sweet. Thank you!! always follow your dreams!

Very true!!

@@erin_elyse socket wrench and a drip pan is way cheaper lol.

you can drop off the used oil at a autozone ❤

Thank you soooooo much🙏🙏🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

@@erin_elyse ur welcome Erin. I like to support nice peebles. How’s 🚐?

aww thank you so much!!💗💗

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it, wasn't sure if it was going to be interesting but I'm happy people are enjoying the behind the scenes!

Agreed!! worst nightmare lol

haha idk if you can even venmo that small of an amount! and its crazy because I spend HOURS on my shorts and i usually make less than a dollar on each one😂😂

Oh good! I almost cut it out because I wasn't sure how interested everyone would be in it but it's rarely talked about, so why not! Like I said, its been a real learning experience and i'm still not sure how i feel about them lol

Glad you liked it!! hey living with parents can be so helpful. It's really been the key to being able to have the funds I need to travel. Thanks for watching 🥹

its just basic chem thank goodness!! but yeah we were talking about how to know molecular polarity based on the lewis structures

It's all very basic bio and chem but its super fun!! Thanks for watching! and yes the bike is such a game changer😍

I'm glad! Thanks for watching!

Thats the plan!!!!🙏🙏🥹🥹 Thanks for watching!!!

Hahaha!! Thanks!!😂😂

I thought you said 6' 2

Thanks!!

I try thank you🥹💗

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! It is very rewarding!! and so is RU-vid, can't wait for when it's my fulltime gig!

aww thanks so much!!

I will!!

Thanks!! isn't she the cutest?🥹🥹 I try to put her in any random video i can lol

You are welcome!! I totally agree, it's such a weird taboo. Like money literally determines what we can/cannot do and yet no one wants to talk about it! Good luck with your savings. You got this!!

aww thanks!! Idk if the kids would always agree but we've been having some fun!

So exciting!! You got this!!! good luck with brand stuff, its definitely been an interesting experience for me😂😂 I love and hate it!

@@erin_elyse Thanks :) I've never actually heard anyone talk about the difficulties and the downside of brand deals.

Thanks for watching!!!💗

Aw thanks!!

Thanks!! the grind is TOUGHHH but so worth it!! ☺️☺️

haha im honored!!

She is in one other really old one! We visited Mount Rainier together and I vlogged it but yes she isn't on often but she needs to be! She's hilarious🥹😂 teaching with her is so fun!

Thanks!

Thank you!!

I usually tell them that I travel most of the year but leave out the channel. But for this group, I told them the last day of school about RU-vid!

You know it!!!

Just wanna add. You and your mom are doing such important work. I'm sure you know it already, but I just want to say thanks. Teaching science and planned parenthood are even more vital than ever before, with laws being rolled back and the regressive conservative laws and policies being planned to strip women's rights away. I know your channel and videos aren't exactly political in nature, but I think it's essential for people to know these things. The conservatives "Project 2025" is utterly terrifying and disturbing. And yes, teachers and retail workers absolutely should be paid more! It's infuriating that we seemingly learned nothing from the pandemic and who the real essential workers in society are. But sure, keep giving billionaires tax breaks, keep giving CEOs bonuses and keep making sure the shareholders get max profit, who cares about the workers /s As for the crossing guard, so many people who get given a uniform and a modicum of power and authority tend to relish the opportunity to go on a power trip. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. Sorry they shouted at you though, it's so unnecessary. Maybe if things weren't so irresponsibly car dependent then they wouldn't have to stand in a road so humans don't get hit by drivers SMH 🙄 it's amazing what progressive cities like Paris have achieved for bike and pedestrian infrastructure in such a short amount of time. Just shows what can be accomplished with actual strong leadership. My apologies for getting political and for writing yet another essay. I just felt these things needed to be said. K, byeeeeee.

WELL SAID👏👏👏 it's always so humbling when i work some of these different jobs that are basically minimum wage, because they are some of the toughest ones i've had! and definitely essential. I went to school for Environmental Science because i wanted to help save the planet, and i feel like I've strayed from that mission, so this was one small way to feel like i was helping out the future- getting to talk to kids about global warming and other ways humans are negatively impacting the environment! Ugh the crossing guard actually did hurt my feelings LOL! i get that she was just trying to keep a "highschool" safe but GIRL let's find a way to be a little more kind! ps im 24 haha and if i wanna ride in the bike lane i will! I love your essays!! Thanks for watching!

I totally get feeling that way. I often feel that way too. Honestly, so many humans are needlessly selfish and apathetic about their impact, so it feels a bit hopeless at times. People don't even seem to care at all about 1.5 degrees. I try to not think of it as straying from a mission, more like taking a altered path on a journey. You just have to do your best and stay true to yourself. No one is perfect. Anyway, I'd argue your emissions and impact is in the lower percentiles relative to where you live, age, education, etc. It could be a whole lot worse. Besides, I think you've been teaching this whole time. Showing the beauty and value of natural environments. And showing why they are worth respecting and protecting. Inspiring people to travel mindfully and respectfully to national parks and other places is important and valuable 💚🌎

Urgh. I'm sorry. I can't even with some people. I still don't even understand why someone would get mad at you for riding your bike, especially if you're in an (I assume) empty bike lane?!!? That's why I said power trip. Just projecting and taking out their anger on you. It's irrational and unnecessary. I hope they aren't still giving you grief about it.

me?!🥹🥹🥹💗💗

Thanks! Yeah I agree. Also when its your first time working with that brand, they wanna make sure your content will be good! Hopefully i'll have long term partners in the future!

I do?!! No way!!!! Hahha I love that!! and REALLY?!🥹🥹🥹 omg thank you. My older videos don't have a ton of views but I still love them so it makes me happy when people go back and watch them!

Yes i am! haha yes I get that a lot! Yeah 3 is a lottttt but its only temporary so it will be okay! 2 is a lot too! hang in there

ooo now that's an idea

@@erin_elyse you can do it, you've started something pretty cool here, and clearly *you* are the product. you need to turn your channel into a business asap. just keep saving $ you got this. research "when to start an LLC" on google and just start researching how tax write offs work for business expenses. if your business consists of travel, you can write off a vehicle as an expense for your company to operate. good luck buddy xo

@@erin_elyse also i believe in a gas vehicle you can write off the mileage and other costs like repairs, collisions etc . even pizza delivery drivers utilize this. just sayin'

Thank you!!

be really really patient hahaha! this is my 3rd year of doing youtube and I'm still not fulltime!!

Thanks! my seat?

@@erin_elyse your bike seat.

i needed a new throttle body! quick repair but pricey

For target I could only commit for like 2 months which i definitely feel bad about. I did not tell them ahead of time, because they probably wouldn't have hired me! but thats just business, people come and go, and with a big company like target... ehh it is what it is. I definitely prefer summer seasonal jobs though, or jobs like subbing where I'm not letting anyone down when I leave! to live this lifestyle i have had to leave sooooo many jobs and its always tough but I think thats one of the easiest ways people get stuck in the same spot.

@@erin_elyse this is what I thought. Good to know. Thank you so much.

Haha yeah my degree is environmental science!! I already know all the concepts because its just basic bio and chem. I got hired specifically for this position because of my background!

Nope! my bachelors is in Environmental Science!

RIGHT?! I have a love/hate relationship with them. my heart is really in it with the long videos

Care to elaborate?

hahaha thanks!!! its hard out here adulting omg. and lol yes, luckily KBO has been great to work with and I love my bike! other brands have definitely rubbed me the wrong way, luckily never signed any contracts with them though!!

Thank you thank you🥹🥹🙏🙏

Thank you so much!!😭😭🙏

Thank you SOOO much💗💗💗
