I just returned to my cozy cabin on Wheels  after spending 3 weeks in Peru partly Solo   in the other part with a good friend it’s  still hard for me to put into words what my   experiences and Adventures and Inspirations were  like while traveling through the mountains and the  

Rainforest in the jungle but while I’ve been  working on some indepth videos of my travels   in Peru we have been here in the desert slowly  settling back into a normal Rhythm of Life on the road so thanks for being here and  joining me for this cozy early dark morning I’m so confused where’s

Chris good morning k s girl Kobe come on right here good morning please stay right here you don’t  have to get up you don’t have to   get up I know it’s too early  it’s too early come morning Kies oh I forgot to prep wood for right now it is

6:04 the sun comes up in about an hour and a half oh no my solar just my solar just went out well my solar went out it’s been happening  periodically my van is at a really poor angle  

And it is winter so the sun is pretty low in the  Horizon which is also why I love relying on my   um Power stations because I can just gather  a lot more sun throughout the day typically  

Around this time I would kind of turn the lights  off anyway and just cozy in for some work um I   have had quite the push and pull with some of  my morning routine for like my entire life I’ve  

Always tried to force myself to be really slow and  to read in the morning and not work until the like   quote unquote day is started or when people would  typically go to work and I recently just totally  

Trashed that idea because the truth is in like  listening to myself when I start working at 6:00   a.m. that like early morning time is when I am so  creative so I am just like listening to that now  

And once I have my coffee and I wake up and Aila  wakes up we settle in for work because that is   what feels good like a witch in here I feel like  a witch in here holding your candles up talking to somebody guys you come in good let’s go let’s

Go that sounds like really close there’s a coyote right here oh  there’s two of them oh [ __ ] he’s got something that one is hunting a rabbit holy [ __ ] that was so cool I love coyotes I have very high  respect for them ever since I returned from Peru  

I decided that I would be outside for Sunrise  every single morning and it has been one of the   best things I’ve done for myself I’m the the kind  of person that um often feels like I have to do  

Things to the fullest capacity or do it as best  I can or as hard as I can you know depending on   what it is one of the reasons other than the  positive like health effects of seeing early  

Morning light and being outside and having that  a big part of like starting your day there’s no   strict expectations on the Sunrise it’s just I  get to enjoy it however that looks each morning   it’s been so wonderful it’s like my favorite  part of my mornings kobuk stayed at the top of  

The hill with me hung out for a while but Akela  went back with Chris probably because she wants   to go back to bed she’s like a 9:00 a.m. wake up  kind of gal it got cold last night now there has  

Been a bit of a change with my everyday life  in the van because I have an additional Power   Station I’ve had this now for a few weeks and  I absolutely love it and when Bluetti reached  

Out to work with me this year I said absolutely  hands down love their products so much now this   product specifically is the beginning of an  exciting new eco system from Bluetti I have   really enjoyed having this in the van what I’m  going to show you will eventually be one of the  

Parts of my shipping container transformation on  the property but I’ve been able to test it out and   get really familiar with it while on the road and  I’m starting to think that maybe I’ll just like  

Still bring it with me on the road because I love  it so much the AC 180t has nine different Outlets   including AC Outlets usba and USBC and what’s so  unique about this power station is by lifting the  

Lid you will see two of the lithium iron phosphate  batteries within the power station and these can   be used to power the 3in1 Bluetti multi cooler  the Bluetti multi cooler is a portable fridge   freezer and ice maker all in one so this is  a part of their swap solar and one of these  

Batteries I can easily take out of the AC 180t  and slip it into the battery compartment of my   3in1 Bluetti multi- cooler the power output of a  single battery is 1,200 W and with two batteries   that jumps to 1,800 WT now this is the world’s  first lithium iron phosphate powered portable  

Fridge it’s a really cool piece of equipment  something that I am so excited to utilize not   only on the road but in my shipping container in  just a few months uh more on that later though so   as the cooler is running this other battery can  continue to charge and then provide Power for  

My phone or my camera batteries with the two  lithium iron phosphate batteries in the ac10   it can run that multi cooler for up to 6 days  also similar to my other Bluetti Power Station  

This has the AC fast charging so it can charge  up to 80% in 1 hour and that is a fantastic   characteristic when you live on the road often  what I’ll do is hop into a laundry mat or I’ll  

Find a little place to have lunch if I’m really  low on solar and I’ll bring my power station in   the laundry mat or to lunch and charge it and  that way I can get what would have been like a  

Whole day charging off of solar panels I can get  that in an hour the AC 180t and bluett’s first multicooler better is that I’ve been able  to do things in terms of my health that   I haven’t been able to do before having this  ac10 swap solar system with the multi- cooler  

With the bit of extra power I treated  myself to two things and one of them is this I got myself a dehydrator my time in Peru  made a few things just really clear to me and one  

Of those being the importance of Health in a lot  of cases health and time are the only things that   we have control over and even with that that’s  not always the case but one of the things I am  

Dedicated to is making my own beef jerky every  week and I’ve been doing this now for a while and   it has been amazing because jerky is so expensive  at the store it has a lot of sugar in it and now  

I just buy a really cheap cut like a big roast and  then slice it up I get to control my own marinade   which is so simple and then I put it in this  dehydrator and it’s a high protein snack for the  

Week so last night I made a little marinade sliced  up my jerky and the goal is to finish this up this morning hey Aila oh my God Aila oh ail oh my gosh not  good not good no a few of them got on the

Ground hey babe did she just  like knock it over and start   going after it go no she didn’t go  after it just knocked it over and then we’re back in business Aila you  always make things really interesting name you la on my mind we really have

Time want to waste it on anybody take it with anybody I plan on returning  to Lounge clothes right when   I get back but Chris and I are going to go for run so Upon returning from Peru which has kind  of been a theme in this video I decided that  

Uh I would sign up for a half marathon and the  thing is I don’t even like running and I’m not   particularly good at it not that you have to be  good at what you like to do now Chris and I are  

Signed up for a half marathon in the middle of  April so now I’m training for a half marathon   I tend to have these really like big goals after  I drink my morning coffee along the Realms of I  

Can do anything so yeah now I have to deal  with the decisions that post coffee lanaa made you brigh all the I don’t want to waste  it on anybody take it with anybody since Chris and I have  decided to settle into this area  

A bit I’ve decided to invest in some  studio hours at a local Pottery Studio and this is because of the property just  bear with me here the moment I purchased   the property when it was Final all of these  ideas came just swarming into my brain I  

Started visualizing all of the wildlife and  the trees and where I wanted to build things   and the type of structures and one of the goals  that really solidified was that I don’t want to   buy plates and cups and mugs and bowls I  want to make them all and while it’s going  

To be many many years until we have drawers  and shelves and places to put things I want   to start learning now so when the time comes I  can make all of our plates and bowls and mugs by hand

Oh you think you’re going to get some this has  probably been running for a total of I don’t   know Kea really wants some come here over the  course of the day this was on for maybe 5 hours  

Uh I basically used up all of our extra power  um but that’s just the way it goes on the days   that I make jerky but I think it turned out  really good I wonder if it needs a little bit more it’s really good you didn’t even taste

It feeling inspired after traveling overseas to  really really take control of the things that I   can in my life and to make it as full and rich  as I can it’s such a beautiful feeling and to   top it off I know that with future experiences  and future travels I’ll be able to experience  

This inspiration and this shifting of what  I find the most important in my life over   and over again it’s similar to the saying  that goes something like you still have   yet to EXP experience the best days of your  life or that you still haven’t met all of  

The people that you will love or be loved  by and I find it exciting that the future   can hold so much beauty that we have yet to  experience and to feel thanks for watching everybody now one to had some dirt on

It when we wake hear the birds  and see the sun side by side   our fears are done oh the good times just begun

  3. This was so peaceful and warming. Needed this calm today. Motivates me to just get in my car and go! Definitely going to spend the next 6 months saving up and then hitting the road in the fall and just following the weather. Thank you for this inspiration ❤

  6. I'm fulltime vanlife, also I'm looking at Bluetti. Thanks.
    I loved Peru.
    I crave off-grid life.
    Sometimes I bounce back into Grandma's life with the kids.
    Less is more for me.

  7. Girl, your videography blows my mind. I've been watching you for a couple of years now, and you've grown so much. It's so inspiring. Like, I can't even describe how your cinematography makes me feel. You're gifted. Like, it's not easy & you make it seem so natural.
    Ugh. Moved to tears almost every time I watch one of your videos.
    Also, Akela is the perfect pup. Yeesh.
    🫶🏽

  8. Hello Miss, i am your channel follower and i watched your all Vlog. I really love them. But now, i decide to purchase a RV, can u tell me why u do not set a washing machine or dryer in your vehicle? Especially the machine which can combine both of the functions and the size is compact?

  9. Like taking a deep breath and seeing a familiar friendly face, Thanks, Linnea for the post.

  10. Another beautiful video. Peru had an amazing effect on you. I often get up to see the sunrise but haven't made it a daily thing yet. Akela was just curious but I knew that was going to happen. 😅 You are doing awesome things I aspire to do one day. Glad you're back. Have a wonderful week ❤
