NO NEED FOR A HOTEL, NEW ZEALAND ROAD TRIP | VLOG 01
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ย. 2024
- For our first ever vlog we wanted to start off with a bang, an EPIC 13 DAY 4WD ROADTRIP AROUND NEW ZEALAND!
From Christchurch to Mt Cook, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Lake Tepako and more. Together with @elliotgrafton we took on the South Island of New Zealand in a landcruiser, a couple roof top tents and our cameras.
The adventure that transpired you won’t believe, seriously hands down one of the best trips we have ever been on!!
This is New Zealand in all its Glory.
-----------------------------
Behind every pretty photo on Instagram there’s a story. Together as a couple we have been travelling the world creating content and posting on Instagram for 2.5 years. The journey has been crazy. We’ve had opportunities and experiences that we couldn’t even imagine existed at the time we posted our first photo.
We given up a lot and we’ve gained a lot, we’ve worked hard taken risks and realised our dreams. There’s so much more to this life than meets the eye on Instagram, we’ve been meaning to share a lot more for a long time and that time has finally come!
What is it like being an ‘influencer’, what does it even involve?, how the heck does an influencer even make money?, whats it like living and working together 24/7 as a couple? How does one work towards this digital nomad lifestyle? What is all the hype about?
Follow us on our weekly vlogs as we attempt to answer these questions and more in the most raw and personal content we’ve ever created.
A massive thankyou to Joe and the team at @grit_rentals for the landcruiser that made our trip
And an even bigger thankyou to the super talented @elliotgrafton who is now a fully fledged member of the mariefeandjakesnow team. Its time to change the world through love, compassion, positivity, selflessness and knowledge. One video at a time!!

STOP IT. THIS IS NOT A VLOG. THIS IS AN AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTION. I CAN'T EVEN. 😍
Also, we're eloping in NZ next year and I'm actually wearing a Rue de Seine dress, so this video was all kinds of goals/inspo. Thanks, you two!
@@BrendaNepomuceno Omg That is amazing, what a place to elope and honestly those dresses are the most beautiful ive ever seen/worn. We wish you all the happiness in the world xx
mariefeandjakesnow Thank you so much! Wish you both all the happiness in the world too. xx
STOP IT! STOP!
FOREEEALLLLLLL. the editing, the filming, everythingggggggg. im so shook and proud to be from NZ rn
Love the video but please, please find places to stay which are legal in NZ, there are plenty of places you are allowed to stay for free in self contained vehicles but please don't encourage people to camp by side of the road, or clean green country can't handle that!
This! ^^ I live in New Zealand and so many freedom campers leave a huge mess. please treat our Country with respect and stay at legal places.
Have to totally agree with you. Wise words indeed
Agreed
@@illustri_vi What they are doing is illegal in our country end of story. We didnt assume anything.
Glad you loved New Zealand but please remember that freedom camping is illegal in most of the country and only allowed in designated areas where there are toilets. People think their waste is just one tiny thing but it’s having a huge impact on our environment and all the beautiful pristine places will no longer be that way if people are encouraged to simply stop at the roadside or in the wilderness. Please respect and care for our environment while you enjoy it!
thank you tell everyone. but the turth is many travelers even don't learn the loacal driving law. Hope all of us follow the city council and DOC rules .Keep New zealand pure.
Read the Freedom Camping Act.
Thank you for pointing this out. It really bothered me. It’s not ok! Beautiful videography but don’t break the law just because you don’t want to pay for a camping spot.
Human shit works great as fertiliser, it's good for the enviroment
@@thokri5132 Nah mate, see all the crappy food full of pesticides and shit they had? Well it all went down the wild..... humans shit is poison unless you only eat organic veggies and fruits.
I know I sound like a mum lmao but I really hope yall were responsible with your waste and the drone because freedom campers are such a big problem in nz
This is an incredible adventure, but what's even more incredible is how beautiful you've captured it. Vlog who?! This a movie! Looking forward to more content from you guys.
Welcome to the wonderful world of TH-cam lovelies!! Excited to see all the sparkle and passion you guys will bring to this platform ✨❤️
Hey Guys!! Thankyou so much, your page is awesome 😍
You guys took vlogging to a whole new level😍😍😍
This is just the beginning guys, cant wait to share more with you!
Every Friday a weekly vlog and every Tuesday some kind of tutorial/lesson/story 😍🙈
Epic edit guys, love the cinematic work!! Keep it up x
Best VLOG I've seen. I've been contemplating returning home to NZ to vanlife...now I can't wait. You did the scenery and the dresses absolute justice. Love your work.x
Gee Arihana oh wow 😭 thanks so much for your kindness 🥰 have a Great Time in NZ 😍❤️
"Maybe we're just not fit to be youtubers", they said hours earlier, as the video wasn't uploading properly. This was your first test as vloggers. Patience, endurance and resilience. I feel immensely inspired right now and cannot wait for vlog #2.
What’s wrong with using a trolly/shopping cart? Haha looks like your stealing when putting it into a back pack
I love everything about you guys!!❤ your spirits just blows me off! So inspiring!!😄😄
Warning for anyone coming to New Zealand with a drone: please follow our laws and regulations, especially around public or protected areas and areas with wildlife
Phoebe Grigor yup, some serious fines for what they did. Christ coronet peak is a total no go for a drone, the you can literally see the airport.
I’ve been to coronet many times and would NEVER consider doing what these guys did with the drone. All drone operators should always check to see if it’s legal first in the planned area
the thing is that kind of behaviour makes the rules and the laws tough and wild against the drones...:(
@@aaronlevel7 The airplane is not flying at 50-meter altitude.
Oguz Mazlum lol, what are you taking about. You can’t launch a drone 1m off the ground in Queenstown with out a council permit. That has nothing to do with it.
Yes! I think I got a new channel to follow. What an amazing first vlog! Loved the cinematography, atmosphere, reality and kindness ❤️ Welcome and wishing you a great TH-cam-experience. Can't wait to see more adventures 🥰 Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪👋🏻
Wow guys 😍 amazing first weekly vlog! Can’t wait for many more to come. This makes me wanna go to NZ so baaad!!! You guys are such a inspiration 💕 and greaaat editing job Elliot 👏🏻👏🏻 looove it!!!
WOW...this vlog is incredible guys! Thank you for showing us what you got up to, I'm feeling so inspired to visit beautiful New Zealand now, seeing it through the screen is amazing and I can only begin to imagine what it's like in real life. Elliot's editing is beyond incredible too! Looking forward to more of your vlogs, you both inspire me so much
WHAAAT elliot’s shots are STUNNING 🙌🙌🙌 you guys make such an amazing team, thanks for sharing Xx
Wow. NEW ZEALAND IS SO BEAUTIFUL!! Can't stop watching Videos about it
This was an awesome video! Beautifully shot and felt like I was watching a TV show. Super good, excited to see more of your vlogs! Just got to NZ today so I can’t wait to visit some of these spots!
So glad you enjoyed all the beauty of my home country. Thank you for inspiring me to spend more time exploring my own backyard. Can't wait to see future vlogs!!
This is by far the best roadtrip new zealand video that i’ve ever watch! U guys are amazing
your channel is the absolute best vlog channel. CANNOT WAIT to watch you grow!!! so unique and authentic I love it!
I really loved how much you shared in this vlog! Thank you for sharing more of yourselves and your experiences! New Zealand looks so amazing, I cannot wait to travel there one day!
AMAZING. Would love to see more about how you make sure your camera is safe when you’re traveling alone and setting the camera up on a tripod! I love that you get so many shots of the two of you together even when you don’t have a photographer with you.
They do tho
You two just completely changed the vlogging game on TH-cam. All those shots were absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to see more.
I first discovered you two searching for Mew Zealand travel tips (my fiancé and I are considering making the trek from Milwaukee, WI for our honeymoon in September!) but now, I cannot help but feel drawn to you two as a power couple and aspire one day to travel as you do! You are a true inspiration. Thank you for being so vulnerable yet driven to share the beauty of this world with us!
Incredible vlog! Adds such a great layer to your story that we couldnt see before. Really gives your social media presence more depth. ♥️
Wow! This is just mindblowing 😱 So so soo beautiful!
I would love to see more of how Marie is packing for all of your shoots and hear about where she gets her stunning outfits from 🙈
Can’t believe the quality. I’m out of words, just loved this video! Can’t wait to see more 😅😍😍
Have a nice day!
This vlog helped convince us to make the move to NZ!
Tomorrow is our 1 year anniversary of living in the spectacular country and we've even started our own vlog here! Thank you so much for the inspo! :)
I really loved this video and it was stunning to see my homeland, it is a beautiful place! Being a Kiwi who grew up a couple of hours away from Mt Cook National Park I do wish you pronounced Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki properly. Both lakes are very important to the South Island for a number of reasons and are absolutely stunning, I’m really glad you got to experience their beauty. I can’t wait to see your next video and the amazing work you both do!
Probably unlikely you'll respond to this question, but worth the shot.
You shot this vlog, which looked amazing, and got some really nice shots with the dresses in various locations as one of your jobs.
But I am wondering, do you create separate specific videos with these dresses for or is it only seen in this vlog? Would like to see the videos you created with them
OMG you guys this was insane!!! I loved it sooo much ❤️ I love looking to the two of you for inspiration & so much light & positive vibes 🙏🏻 I think it was the two of you that gave me that final push to realize I need to start working towards my dreams, to make my best life a reality! I can’t thank you guys enough for just being you & sharing everything that you have been 🙏🏻 much love - Araya 😘❤️
Love Love Love! Thank you for sharing your journey through NZ. I love all the little extras, the supermarket, the shoes walking on the ground, cooking etc. The shots are amazing but I love the realness of it! Dream team! 😘
Watching this in quarantine, I follow you on IG regularly but seeing you two on TH-cam showcasing the world through video is SO inspiring. New Zealand looks EPIC without even trying. Marie your outfits are killer, such a natural in front of the camera. Are those Lack of Color hats?
You two are my favorite! Your content is fantastic and you both are such a big inspiration. This video was fantastic. I love the variety of content embedded throughout. I personally enjoyed the bit on how you do you shoots. I would love to see more in the moment content like that and maybe a video on the photo and video equipment you use to capture your content. I honestly can’t wait to see everything you do in 2019!
Wow, just wooow! Your first Vlog is unbelievably good and sooo inspiring! We love your work 🤩 Never thought that NZ is that beautiful! We should travel there as well 😉 Looking forward to the next video of you two 😍
A very good first video, something different as well especially with the edits. We would like to see more photography/video tips in future videos. Looking forward to see what you do :)
The content, the editing, the personality... YOU TWO, this is one of the coolest videos TH-cam has. I CANNOT wait for the next one!! Congratulations you guys 💕 I AM FIIIIIZZZZZZING!!!
Collecting memories. Best thing before you close your eyes to this world.
Caner Erten so true 🙏🏼
Behind the scenes. How to do it? How you do your makeup on set, how you shoot, what you shoot with, location scouting, more on how you make this a full time job? Loved this video.
This is one of the best VLogs i have ever watched ! I love the way you take care of eachother and dont mentioning the great videography !!! love the panning shots and drone videos are amazing !! Such a scenic composition
Guys I just love it! You’re such a positive inspiration! I hope from now on we’ll have the chance to watch a vlog for every new adventure you have! You could also give us some advice for the country and the places you’ll visit! ♥️ 🗺
Amazing such beautiful shots. Would be awesome to see more of the behind the scenes of your photoshoots and videos and also tips for beginners

Yay!!!! Thanks guys for this beautiful vlog!!! What i would like for the other vlogs is a little but more of informations on the place you are visiting. A little bit like Lost Leblanc is doing. Sorry for my bad english i'm french Canadian! Love you guys! Keep doing what you're doing because you are seriously my favorite Instagram account!
Sophie
Wow - this is simply amazing! Love what you do and love that you stay hungry and always go for more. You rock!
I love the real moments that you guys were able to capture like swimming in the lake, losing the card for the drone, and the random dancing. Just shows that you guys are really living in the moment and enjoying the ride!! Thanks for sharing! 🤙🏽
This is the most beautiful vlog I’ve seen! Your editing is on another point 😍 you guys are living the best life, keep it up 🙌🏽
Ahhhh, THANKYOU. Those words give us so much confidence
Just went to NZ myself over December break for Christmas and NYE and it was sensational trip! Spend Christmas in Auckland and a few days up there all over and then went to Queenstown, Mt. Cook, Twizel and Dunidin. I would toally go back as even 13 days was just not enough.

I don't understand why this doesn't have more views! You guys put so much effort into your vlogs and inspire me to travel the world! I'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but do you get to keep the clothing for the brands that you shoot for? Just curious :)

Dine van Erck You’re so Sweet! Thankyou Dine ❤️❤️
Your style is amazing. You talk quickly whats next not keep talking about the weather, grass and roads - straight to the point. I just found you guys and first time in my life I watch one vlog from start til the end.. and Im a blogger by myown.. so keep doing it! ;)
You guys are so underrated. This needs to be way more viewed. Your Instagram is pure magic 😊
Just discovered your channel, THIS VIDEO IS SICK! Such cool shots are you kidding me?! this is not a vlog but a production mate!! Subscribed X
Great vlog of New Zealand. New Zealand is such a beautiful country and the must visit for anyone looking for beautiful scenery. Have subbed to your channel and looking forward to your next vlog.
Yes 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Love this ! Elliott you are super talented. Marie and Jake awesome as always !
Love it guys! Really great shots 🤭looking forward for some new videos! 🌴
This is insane! I already told you in a DM. But you guys just made an amazing vlog. It doesn't even feel like a vlog, because it really feels like im there with you. Also, how the hell do you to this Elliot?! I mean the drone footage is insane! You really are a master!
Guys, this video is just perfect!!! Want more videos from you, and btw Elliot knows what his doing, that's for sure!
This was awesome - especially for the first one. Looking forward to watching all the future ones now.
Yeeees! Please do more, it's really fun to watch it! ❤️
This is so amazing, I loved everything about this, with your vibe you would love my home city Lagos in Portugal, we have amazing beaches and weather! Loved this first vlog, can’t wait for more!
LIEBS!!!! this is just so well made and it's just a whole new level of vlogging :O i am so impressed ! just like your photos you show such beautiful places in an artsy and cool way :) so keep on going :)
It looks like you captured the spectacular beauty of our piece of paradise with such skill, well done so damn pretty...Please could you encourage freedom campers to take everything with them when camping in secluded spaces therefore leaving our fair land pristine when you leave so the next person finds it just as stunning. I’m curious where you go to the bathroom when in remote areas or dispose or bury (??) your waste?
It’s worthwhile and responsible to mention don’t you think? As ‘influencers’ us Kiwis would really appreciate it. 🙏 Please
Unfassbar schöner Vlog!
Ich hatte schon genau die gleiche Situation und habe meine sd-Karte im hohen Gras verloren und nie wieder gefunden. Hab mich für euch so mit gefreut 😂🎉
You guys are so genuine and super cool! Amazing vid! NZ is my Home Country. How good is it that you didn’t have to worry about snakes !!!! 🙄 😍
Awesome. Looking forward to more fantastic vlogs.
Hi guys, Do you need to get permit for flying your drone? Thank you
