Putting this video out makes me nervous 😂. It’s the authentic not so perfect moments that I know I want to keep putting in these videos, but dang is it nerve wracking putting it out to the public. Normalizing doing things because I want to & not because I'm good at them..... (in other words: don't roast me I'm sensitive?). Cool. Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend 🤓

It's the "not so perfect moments" that prove that you're human. Don''t worry about it; people are here because they like you and enjoy your adventures. You're doing fine.

Your singing... with the scenery you put in as a backdrop, so good. We’ll just ignore that remark about never doing it again. P.S. Saw Finn at the end of Anna’s most recent!

Hey Mariah, that montage where you overlay your singing and the views of the sunset is awesome. So beautiful. I just read that your fav compliment these days is that your voice is soothing. I didn't wanna say coz i thought I was weird and would sound stalkerish but will share this after knowing that. I was going through a REALLY rough patch about a month ago and just couldn't fall asleep. So I'd put my headphones in and put your videos on and eventually fall asleep to that. Your videos are comfort for me and I'm so grateful KZread showed me your channel! Thank you ❤ Lots of love from NZ

Just so you know, in case you might care, that face you saw was not Mt. Rushmore, but rather Crazy Horse Memorial. Definitely one of your very best videos. The singing montage was money! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures!

If you are ever there again and time it right, they have a special event a couple times a year where you can hike up to the face of the monument.

I love watching your journey, looking forward to maybe one day running into you on the road. And your voice is beautiful. Please don’t let this be the last time you share this part of you. You being so authentic is what I love most about your videos.

Also, I think that was the Crazyhorse monument and not Rushmore. That is a site well worth visiting and they are dog friendly so you can take Finn inside.

love how your storytelling has evolved, this video was too good. guitar part was super great. and those vintage lenses are cool as heck

Mariah's face tells a real story in her travels and let's not forget Finn the innocence of a child like explorer...:) As my buddies in service use to say if you can learn 5 chords on the guitar you can sing anything...:)

Loved the shot of you on the concrete pipes, without the horizon it looked awesome. Keep singing, those bare it all moments are the best, the courage it takes to do something like that, you were great. Love your dog too!! “Last dude on the right” hahahaha

"Last dude on the right" and "random grassland" were my favorite funny phrases from this video!

Always check yourself and Finn for ticks after you go outside.They can carry some nasty diseases.I have a family member who's disabled from Lyme disease.It's been a nightmare for them.Please educate yourself about them!

Mariah, I'm struggling with the right words. I just have to say your instinct to add more of your "authentic self" to your work is so bright, courageous, endearing, brilliant. I'm in the same camp as a number of your followers who've commented, this video is among your best. Oh, I love your food! Well, as it appears in your videos anyway. So appetizing, colorful, natural, and all with that small cook-top... Best to you!😉

You always do such a nice job editing your videos. I’m sure it’s a lot of work, but the quality really shows. Be safe! 😍

I loved this one, especially the song in the middle. Thank you for being raw and honest. I’m out here in my Prius in Colorado and trying to figure out if I want to head north or west….. I’m sure I’ll get where I am supposed to be. :) Be careful with the ticks, Lyme is no joke.

My patrons scared the heck out of me with the whole lyme disease thing... it's good to know. Also you can't go wrong going North or West (or both) Montana & wyoming are cool as heck, especially during wildflower season (June ish?) so long as you don't mind grizzly country, & the PNW is unbeatable for late summer (& grizzly free for us solo travelers lol) shenanigans

Thanks for sharing this with us! Always enjoy being inspired by your videos and seeing how you’re doing.

You have the best video footage. Thanks for sharing all the things you do!!!!

You are a blessing and so are your videos. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your life with us.

Another amazing video Mariah. Love watching these, Keep them coming. Stay safe. Regards Paul from England. 👍

Favorite quote of this vide - "see if I can witness the thing that I cant remember is even about to happen" sounds like the story of my life lol. Great video, thanks for sharing and always being authentic. Safe travels Mariah!

I so loved the song and accompanying video ❤️ I hope there’s more to come. You really seem to be in a sweet spot at the moment. Enjoy!

Another great vlog! Love how genuine and calming your videos continue to be. Stay Blessed

Your videos always leave me in a better mental state and you have no idea how much that I appreciate that! Thanks and safe travels!!

My best friend moved out to Sioux Falls with his wife and love it there, that was 14 years ago and their still loving it. He keeps trying to get me to move out there but your vlog shows a reason why, it looks amazing. Keep exploring the state and share with us. Oh and I noticed you're getting close to that 100k subscribers, way to go!!

music, singing and stunning visuals, bonus's to already great content. thank you :)

Well done on the guitar. Justin was one of the most useful tutorials for me when I was learning 10+ years ago! I'm enjoying your journey.

10:17 mark: Ticks - Very timely for me to hear this, and to relate to your reaction when finding them. I found two on me, yesterday. Where I live on Vancouver Island (similar climate to the San Juan Islands of Washington State), ticks are a big problem, and can also carry disease. The thought of them creeps me out....

I think this is my favourite video of yours. the scenery, your guitar cover, everything

That 'solo' feeling is omnipresent. 😎🙏 Thanks for taking us along, again.

My day was going meh but your videos always makes Mondays better, especially the part of you singing and playing the guitar, so thank you! Now I can imagine myself being outside when actually just slaving away WFH.

I found your videos not to long ago and have been hooked at watching them. I love the adventures you and fin take and thank you for sharing your life on the internet so raw and authentically. I was hoping you’d share a updated chore day with us so we can see a different side to van life. Keep being awesome 💕

This video is so good 💜 thank you for creating.

This was such a beautiful video. Such amazing landscapes and your song and that setting made for a very poetic pairing. Watching how Finn looks at you and how you are always so protective of him is simply beyond words. Glad to see that you are both doing well and getting to travel to such special places. Safe travels.

Lovely and calm journey to end my day off too! Thank you Mariah! Your song is magic! :)

I love your little Blaze Foley tune. Keep up the great work.🦋

South Dakota definitely has some surprises. Leaving for Ft Collins on the 3rd. So excited to see family and get some time in the mountains. Imagine all the special stories you will be able to share about your adventures. Thanks again for sharing some moments of your life with us!

This is beautiful, keep your head up out there. Love ur videos. Looking forward to your book one day.

Your guitar/singing sequence is simply amazing. You've created another work of art here!

Thank you for this video , it was beautiful. Your videos help me see the beauty in being alone .

Your videos are always authentic. They remind me of how no matter how different lives are we are all still connected after all.

Your voice is so soothing. 🥰.

Great update. The song and guitar were great, thank you for sharing that. I love your honesty in your videos. I understand not always wanting to travel along on long drives but being alone can be good sometimes. You have a beautiful spirit and some lucky person will find you or you will find them. Please enjoy your summer travels and stop by Idaho, lots to see here.

I absolutely love the genuotity of all of your videos. I've been wanting to van life for a while now and even the difficult times you go through convince me that it's absolutely worth it. Look at the views!!! That is what it's all about well and the freedom to. Thank you for sharing your adventure and keep writing songs, you're an amazing artist.

Keep up the guitar - and your voice is really lovely. Great piece of video with that song. And the rest was really nice too. Thanks! ❤

Some really amazing shots in this episode! Loved your singing and guitar playing!

😍😍 OH MY GOSH! 😍😍 Your singing was amazing. It takes so much courage to put that online, and thank you for doing it! What a great moment to witness! Keep up the great videos! Always a highlight of my week when I get to see the world thru your eyes for a few moments.🤩🤩

I love your videos. I don’t know what it is. But just a connection I feel with your Videos. That make makes me wanna come back every time I watch them. I really enjoy your contact. Keep up the great work. You’re definitely going to make it far

Dope! I think the authenticity with your feelings and your struggles is helpful for people watching these types of videos realize that it's not all sunshine and rainbows on the road. I got snowed on 2 days ago - it was super beautiful but the cold got miserable real quick.

I'm glad I've stumbled upon your videos.. I'm a fan. Love ❤ the beautiful places you share. Love the rocky mountain state's including South Dakota.

Best KZread moment of 2022: Vicariously sitting at camp with Mariah playing music. Yep! ✌🏼❤️

You singing while the sun set was my favorite part, you have a beautiful voice!

Your vlogs are so beautiful and aesthetic 😍 I could (and will) watch your videos all day. Thanks for sharing 💕

Impressed with your development with the guitar and vocals. Excellent, sincerely. Happy trials.

The scene of you singing your song is by far one of the most poignant moments I've ever witnessed on a van-life, bus-life video. Beautiful song and beautiful sentiment ... BRAVO, Mariah Alice!!

I love your videos so so much! I look forward to your next upload :) also! I just bought a drone after seeing all of your drone clips. Yay!

Exceptional video. Loved the song!

I can't wait to see you with YOU-KNOW-WHO. Her cliff hanger was so cuuuuuuute.

Mariah, I love the song that you were playing especially your singing, there is no need to be nervous about putting out videos like this because lots of people will love your videos and I will watch your videos forever they are helping me get through the long days at college.

Thank you for sharing this awesome adventure with us today from Henrico County Virginia, stay safe and have a wonderful week

You're truly an amazing human being, I am so sensible of each of your words and emotions it's crazy... What a soul !

The song was magical. Thank you so much for sharing that!! Please do it again, it was my favorite.

Beautiful views, sunset and your guitar solo was great.

Mariah, i have to say the musical portion of your video was absolutely my favorite of all your edits, including “it’s raining” at the end was priceless! Hoping to see more of your musical side. Great job! ❤️

Loved loved loved the sunsets and beautiful water shots, awesome. And the blood moon.

Loved your courage and really enjoyed the song. I remember when you first started practicing. Hugs to you and Finn. 🤗

That was awesome. Cool Indie-folk song! Keep it up. You have a great voice .

Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventure!

I loved your song and guitar playing with scenery so nice!

My FAVE video of you!! Your voice is amazing!!!!!

Wow Mariah. The birds singing early in the video! South Dakota! So gorgeous. Gracias for yet another wonderful one.

I love your videos so much Mariah but it was a real special treat to hear you write, sing, and perform your own music. You are a creative genius with a sweet soul. As a pro musician I just want to encourage you because that was impressive even if a simple chord structure, there was depth in lyrics and you have a GREAT singing voice.

Bless you! (To your sneeze at the end). Thank you for all the hard work you are putting in to create content for us. I know I've said it before, but thanks again. Your story telling format is so great to listen too. Stay safe out there.

Great song and singing there Mariah you are more awesome every week. Thanks for another fun video

You did good strumming & singing...it soothes the soul..

I love this! Your authentic self is beautiful. My favorite part was your song. Bravo 👏

Very charming singing voice and great progress with the guitar playing! Beautiful filming of this video without obvious scene changes...smooth edges. It's always so good when the energy changes like this..if only we could be in flow all the time!

You are really great. Thanks for the chill video..

Beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, hope you will continue singing for us. And Finn as handsome as always and having fun, he is the perfect co-pilot. Have Fun enying South Dakota and take us along. Sending good thoughts and much Love to you and Finn. 😘🙏🐕🎸🎼🎵🎶

I just have to stop watching ALL news, and just keep watching videos like yours……..I’ve been so depressed and down on the world, mostly this country, but I know there’s so much beauty , and wonderful people too. Thanks to you, Finn, and Anna for reminding me 💜. By the way love hearing you play guitar and sing!!!!!!🥰 “The last dude on the right” 🤣

I’m 8 months into a van build and it’s basically ready to go, and the pre-journey nerves are juuust about setting in 😬 watching your video with you being so genuine and sharing your moments almost stream of consciousness is so calming. 👏 I think you’re doing a great job with these videos, especially loved the b-roll cuts with you playing your own background music. Takes guts to put yourself out there like that, and you killed it! 🙌 cheers from a soon-to-be solo van dweller!

Ok... Been sub'd for a little bit, and have watched all your videos up to this one ( for now), and have fallen in love with them. I've not commented on any up till now, but once I saw you sing (and play) a Blaze Foley song... Well, I was floored. I knew I had to comment and let you know how much your videos entertain me, enlighten me, and fill me with hope. You are a wonderful person, the kind of person rapidly disappearing in my life. It's great to know that real, good people are still out there. Keep up the good work. And please, stay safe!

The guitar and singing was super awesome. Well done 👍 👍👍

Really loved hearing you sing! Great job! Your authenticity and the way you share your mental journey are some of my favorite things about your channel. If you do come to Texas, I could let you know of some great spots. I lead an outdoor group around the Austin area.

Firefighter in me screaming, "I know damn well that ain't no paper plate on top of that hot pan with an open flame!" Besides that freaking me out, awesome video. I'm sure Finn appreciates your "ASSistance" there at the end...lol
