I HIT ROCK BOTTOM - This is How I Got Out

My campervan unexpectedly breaks down for good and now I’m homeless with no money. This is the story of how I pulled myself out of a really chaotic situation. My hope is to inspire everyone to manifest your wildest dreams even in your darkest moments.

Hey there my name is Poppy and I make travel content about people and cultures from around the world, not just the “touristy” side of travel. Because I believe TRAVEL IS NOT about the places you visit, IT’S ABOUT THE PEOPLE you meet along the way. Join me on my journey if you agree!

Hi Poppy, hope you are doing well by the time the video is posted. I know there are a lot of critical comments and I'am sure most of them come from good intentions, you are the one who should figure out if this is the life you want. If it's the case, I am happy for you. Sometimes, deep soul searching takes time and will be full of ups and downs. I like that you always find the silver lining of things no matter how tumultuous the situation could be. Compared with someone who has kids and is 36 now, you are still very young and have a hell of future coming towards you. Embrace and experience, most of hardships we go through always turn out to be blessings in later life. Stay safe!

I come back to your channel after a six month hiatus and find that you're homeless and living in a van in Australia?! Wow. I hope you pull of this, Poppy. Best to you.

[JR-njle]

Please take care of yourself and find a home and get a normal but well paid job and do travelling in free time again for a bit you need stable income and build up some savings girl, don't become homeless please and in debt as it's very difficult to get out of it and you are talented and deserve better girl

[randallmurrain]

Wow...this is why I keep coming back to your channel. You persevere in the face of adversity time and time again. You're a real inspiration, Poppy. Never lose that, it means a lot!

[JimmyShot]

Who knew buying a used crappy van, living a nomadic lifestyle with bums, and no job would end this way? Maybe a drum circle and some dancing can conger up a new van!

[nomadicthrifts]

Poppy I hope you ignore these negative comments. Keep doing what you love, your van was YOUR home. You don't need to conform to the western lifestyles of having a "homebase" like previous people have mentioned. If you're happy, live your life and keep doing what makes you happy! It breaks my heart seeing all of these negative comments. Keep being your beautiful and positive self! <3 Much love

*I feel like this isn’t poppy cause of that Aussie Accent 😂😂😂😂*

Poppy, I’ve been following you since the beginning. Since you’re hardly making videos anymore and have clearly lost subscribers and engagement how do you expect for anyone to sponsor you? You also seem to be “affected” and I can’t say I think that is a good thing. Please think for yourself instead of blindly following others. Wish you the best.

If you were my daughter or even granddaughter you would have the option to come home if you wanted to. don't know where your dad is. Not really my biz but I know I would be there for you. Be careful. Be safe. God Bless you

[ekkerslovarkia]

Come on Poppy WTF? You need to find a home base and get a normal job to give yourself a chance to sort things out. The hippie friends are not going to get you anywhere they are just dragging you down to there level. Sell coconut to a wrecker for the spare parts and be rid of that problem.The Covid has wiped out a lot of the non stop travel youtubers so now is the time for a hard reset and a dose of reality.

[MegaMoto]

Why didnt u get yourself a job, like a waitress or something for the days you were stuck, then you could fix up the van? i dont get it

[keithng]

If the old van is to expensive to repair sell it for parts, maybe you can negotiate a deal with Yota to own a van.

[UnwiseWings]

Where's Poppy? No really, where is she? This isn't her.

[samk]

I'm sorry but have to be honest what happens when something else breaks down old car it always does instead positive thinking when your in a situation get a job and be prepared this hippy lifestyle always catches up to you

[liverpix]

You seemed a lot happier when you were in China. Good luck.

[DonutsReview]

Living the dream and I appreciate the honesty. Everyone else below me gave up their dream, that's why they're angry. The best adventure is when you don't know the destination. 🍷😎

"Its only after we have lost everything that we are free to do anything"
You are exactly where you need to be. Good luck.

[laqueefasteinberg]

She didnt mention how long she got the van for and what she's going to do when she's back at square 1 again...Id honestly just go back to parents to ride out covid and save up some money.

[ankanhalder]

Corona epidemic came out suddenly and everyone is having an unusual time. Just keep your head. Think well and write or scribble it down before making important life decisions. No question you are a strong honest lady.

[LoveVanillaRose]

Looks like you've been running with irresponsible people for a while. They've rubbed off on you.
