Nowhere for Very Long: The Unexpected Road to an Unconventional Life

Product Information

There is a freedom to it all, a delightful space created in this book to show up as we are, and to move forward in creating the kinds of lives we want - without having to wait for ourselves and our plans to be perfect and fit in prescribed boxes before we jump in. She does seem to dedicate a bit of time to explaining herself as it relates to those controversies, which I personally didn’t find interesting to read about, but again that might be because I was never following her social media presence to begin with.

A woman defined by motion, Brianna Madia bought a beat-up bright orange van, filled it with her two dogs Bucket and Dagwood, and headed into the canyons of Utah with her husband on a journey of discovery. In her book she talks about being a genuine person and not needing validation from others, and yet she is a social media influencer. I especially appreciate how she approaches topics of addiction and marriage/family struggles - her approach is nuanced in a way that doesn't vilify others, and validates her own feelings while acknowledging and giving space for the feelings and perspectives of the other individuals involved. She made a name for herself on social media with her inspiring captions-cum-essays about bravery, identity, nature, and subverting expectations.I stuck with it because I was hoping that at any second, it would become meaningful or the very least, exciting. But her telling of it shines with a depth of reflection that may surprise and will certainly inspire readers. BRIANNA MADIA has lived a life of relentless intention, traveling the deserts of the American Southwest in an old Ford van.

Like a lot of us the bright orange van and the carefree aunt that lives inside it has been a constant inspiration. Since divorcing her husband, Brianna has done nothing but participate joyfully in the capitalist culture she claims to have fought against by purchasing land and a new car, expensive jewelry, going on a month-long vacation to another country during a pandemic, and shilling stickers/whiskey/dog beds to her oblivious followers. She made a name for herself on social media with her inspiring captions cum- essays about bravery, identity, nature, and subverting expectations.

I even drove out from Washington state to the Utah dessert in 2019 at the fresh age of 21 to see the marvel of the red/orange desert to see exactly what she was talking about with my own eyes.

As I said, some of the story was interesting but I just couldn't personally get past all the writing crutches and overly flowery language.

What I read in this book is Brianna is a young woman who has hard her heart broken many times in her life.

The 1 star comments read like a manifesto of people who have never once made a mistake, never done anything wrong, don’t have any exes who would say a bad word about them, and have never hurt or betrayed a friend in their life. As a reader, I was left eagerly anticipating the next installment, and I can't wait for the release of the second book. Brianna has crafted a captivating narrative that resonates, leaving a lasting impression that lingers well after the final page.Brianna's storytelling is not only eloquent but also filled with a unique sense of fun that makes the narrative truly engaging. Full disclosure – I have been openly critical of how she feeds the social media beast, the dangerous devil-may-care attitude she employs that sometimes puts her dogs in very dangerous situations, and a lifestyle that comes across as more about the likes than the experience. Brianna has consistently silenced BIPOC on her page, who have asked her to use her platform for causes which would benefit anyone besides herself and asked her to be accountable for harmful things she has said, and for appropriating and disrespecting other cultures while profiting off of the land she claims to love so much. Listening to this trailblazing woman tell her story with all of the real and raw emotions is unlike anything you’ll experience.
