This is WAY out of my comfort zone and I’m terrified! I took off in a van by myself for the first time ever to explore my new home region of Tropical North Queensland. Here’s what my first few days looked like!

Hi from Cleveland Brisbane. You are doing amazing! 😊🌺
Keep going Phoebe, your so brave doing this road trip on your own with this huge van 😊.. seeing you explore and doing things for yourself helps me remind me that I should stop being always there at service for others ..it's scary because it means you have to change so many old habits. I'm also a introvert and this seems something so amazing to do and be in the nature, remember your not alone, i am always following you and how you are.. although it's online, just remember i support you. Have an awesome week!
Hi hello 🤗👍
Thanks
Another great video nobody does it better than you. Always interesting things to see. Again you do the best commentary of all. Thank you see you on the next one.
💜 thankyou for your great video and information. I live in my Toyota HiAce Hitop full time with my two little dogs 😊 take care & enjoy
That's pretty cool that you are or did a solo road trip. Pretty nice van! You're channel is really awesome and like the one stop travel guide for Australia and other places. Your videos helped me figure out things to do in Gold Coast and Brisbane. I am more excited more than ever! This is a solo trip for me as well. My brother is joining me on the second week of my trip. Hopefully the weather says good as I see rain in the forecast. Will plan my days accordingly to the weather.
Hi
Having places to explore and admire the simple things I find is always best way to unwind through difficult times. I moved to Canada from the UK last year and before I left just happened to have a traumatic work situation. I still have days where I fixate on the negatives, but every day I spend seeing/experiencing new things reminds me there's plenty of better things ahead and I'm sure you will find that too. Hope you make the best of coming adventures and have better luck chasing waterfalls. I'm having that issue too, being deprived of seeing them, mainly because the ones here are still frozen!!
Absolutely good idea to get away and clear your mind after the breakup….I did Norway , France and Switzerland after my last breakup. It really helped reboot myself.
Hi Phoebe, I hope you are doing okay, we've been thinking of you. Your mums van looks great for a roadtrip, the scenery is just beautiful up there. You are making us want to hit the road 🙂 I loved that page from 'The Mountain is You'. The words really hit home with me too. Thank you for giving me some much needed inspiration. Sending love your way <3
Hi all friends please visit super video
Love that we are seeing your smile again! Xo
No words to say,Superb 😍👌
Solo road trips are the best, all the freedom to do what you want on your own time table, enjoy your new adventures
Love these video's, it's great to finally have a great Australian vlogger and showing how beautiful our country is.
Stay safe, it gets better. Wish I were in RV, free
I am so self-conscious about vlogging and filming in my city but if I leave my city I am so confident and open. It is strange. I'm not sure why but our home town is a weak spot for us too.
That van is stellar! I am so excited for you!
Oh Phoebe Paronella Park is THE place to see in that area. You can find waterfalls anywhere but Paronella Park is an iconic part of North Queensland history and early migration. You need to head back and check it out sometime soon.
You are on a new journey of discovering yourself. Take time to heal and you are doing a good thing by taking a trip on your own. Be positive and life will open up new adventures. My husband and I are embarking on a big trip around Australia in our caravan. We are in our 70s now and it is going to be a great adventure especially for as I am a real home body, I decicided to do this after I had a mini stroke , I am feeling really positive that I can do it. Cheers Julie
I will be vlogging our trip as well,
I too am an introvert . There is nothing wrong with that. Call a friend to have a chat with.
❤ FNQ is absolutely beautiful ❤

If u want good company, bring your favourite fur baby with you. At the moment u need peace and solitude for yourself, also look around where you are. Just take it all in. Enjoy your company 😊
Loved this episode ❤️ , thanks so much!
The challenges of Van Life. Everything seems to take twice as long as expected, the roads always end up being dirt, and I'm not sure Google really know where I'm going either. I feel your pain!
❤️❤️❤️glad i found your channel or it kind of found me
Hugs hun and sending strength .
You got this
U need to check out Ravenshoe. It's a beautiful little town near the Atherton tablelands.
U need to head back to Millstream falls. It's amazing.
Hi, can you please do an intro about the van 😊.
Hi Phoebe!
I recently came across your videos about a month ago and have been following you since then. Your journey to finding yourself again is going to be fun, exciting, and scary and that's alright because that's part of the journey! You'll be surprised to discover new things about yourself as you continue to grow and find your way again in this crazy but beautiful world we live in. Just take it day by day and heal in your OWN time, not what people tell you. Now is the time to take control of your life again and live for YOU❤.
P.S. any chance you can share the song that you used in your video (2:10)? It's such a good vibe😁. Thank you!
What’s yours will find you! Loved watching, take it easy and enjoy what’s in front of you…freedom ❤
Bahaha "I think I let the mosquito bite me for company". That was brilliant!
My heart goes out to you, I have been where you are and it does get easier. Just be gentle on yourself! My solo van trips were the best thing ever and it really helps build confidence. I am doing Brisbane to Cairns with my son in August for his 10th bday, 14 days on the road, can't wait! Thanks for some suggestions!
Take care of yourself 😊
You will find someone! To give you hugs and love. You have so much going for you! Find yourself again! And someone will find you! ❤
Just know that what your going through is the death of the old and the birth of the new. You will get through it and be happy again. I think it's great that you are taking this time to heal. Just watchout for the Crocs.
Have you got the driving bug now ? Please don't stop, you're killing it.
