Unwinding | Living in My SUV | Coastal Alabama 🌊🧘🏼‍♀️

Hi! I’m Christine 🙋🏼‍♀️ After working for many years in sales and business ownership, I felt major burnout 😵‍💫 I sold my houses, extra cars, and most of my belongings. Now I'm happier than ever having very few material things. I travel living out of my vehicle with my old and blind best friend, Chase the Dog 🐶 We roam the USA looking for adventure, food, and fun! I'm never sure what the future holds. Join the adventure and find out with me! 🤩
In this video, Chase and I unwind in the beautiful towns of Daphne and Fairhope, Alabama🧘🏼‍♀️

    Nice job finding places so cool and calming! No one at that pier...or beach. That's the kind of decompress we all can use! Love the little bits about each place/town as you're visiting...sorta gives the feel that we are along with you. I agree about walks among trees/boardwalks, etc.

    Hello Christine I honestly have no idea how or why one of your videos pop up today but I'm glad it did. Chase is an absolute gem of a campion it seems and your lifestyle has me a little envious lol. I would love to hear what made you start living this way and how long you've done it. I was actually at the Alabama Point Park Beach about 3 weeks ago myself and that's the first video I watched of yours today. It truly is a beautiful place. Glad I found your channel you find the most cool places. Sorry to go on and on but I wish you all the best.

    Someone probably answered this question but that cool tree (or bush) with the red brush looking flowers is called a bottlebrush tree. I grew up in California (SF Bay Area) and we had a tree just like it and seeing it on your video sure brought back some great memories of the family home ❤

    I agree with you on the part of the video about Mardi Gras and all the debris and waste that is left behind. I actually complained about this a very very long time ago and found out that they have a machine that goes around to pick up all the debris and waste and all of it is recycled and put to good use. I know, this doesn't necessarily pertain to your video but just a little "fyi". Hope you have a great day and as always safe travels!!!!!!
