Enjoy the videos you make and all the facts you share about the place you are at. You name coffee shops, restaurants, stores, and places to park. Most of all watching Joey on the beach, he is so cute. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely loved the sunset at the beginning. I believe I could take a chair and just sit in front of the ocean all day. I am so glad I found your channel. I have followed you and Joey for such a long time, and you have never let us down. So looking forward to the next one. Be safe and enjoy your day.
This was like a mini-vacation. Thanks for posting about a place I'd not considered visiting but it's on my radar now. cute pup.
That part of the CA coast is so beautiful...that doesn't seem like a big enough word. I really hope you get to Santa Cruz and the Redwood Forest. Joey does seem to enjoy the beach and the ocean (who doesn't?) Not a Twilight reader myself, but, I had the same reaction as you about the quiet neighbors.
I am doing van life and I ended up spending the entire summer in Pacific Grove and Monterey. It’s one of the most beautiful places in America. I love how the deer roam free amongst the people there. They are everywhere!
Joey's smile brightens my day 😊
I love how the water is different every day, like different moods.
Hey Chantelle 😊not only was I born in Monterey years ago when there was a military base called Ft. Ord, but I love the vampire series. Anne Rice being my fav author and The Body Thief being the best funniest vampire book ever. But I’m also a fan of True Blood 🩸 😅 a great vampire series. But moving on 😉 I’m glad you’re in this part of the country going up the coast. It’s my favorite drive in the USA I usually start way down in San Diego and go all the way up. It never disappoints. The ocean 🌊 all the way. Lovin it!!! Have fun 🤩
Yeah I think she missed Big Sur- my heart of hearts❤
@@Bellasafari right…🤷🏻♀️
Pacific Grove is my favorite! There’s a little park filled with eucalyptus and monarch butterflies. IL Vechio for lunch 😊
I'd love to go to that park! 😊💕
@@janvan4424 Washington park! 😊
Great video. The coast, is calling my name.
Such a wonderful week 🌞🐕🙋♀️💞☕
6/14/2023 Very pretty sunset!
I love TVD !! Me and my daughter watched the show twice. We’ve attended their convention and visited Covington. The house is beautiful but they can’t move the home like you do to other beautiful places! Enjoy your journey with Joey!!
I'm from NorCal and I love love our coast. I'm heading back in a year to start my van journey and live by the coast. Thank you for your beautiful videos and beautiful views ❤
I am sooooo jealous.....you go girl. Hello Joey!
Such a beautiful place to enjoy! I've never seen shells cover the ground like that at the beach. Guess you would know if someone was headed your way pretty quickly. Sweet Joey looked so happy at the beach. There was sand in the desert and sand at the beach for him to enjoy the soft earth on his walks. Also I've never seen a deer by the beach either. Thanks for sharing this beautiful stay!
⭐️The scenery is incredible and your talent for capturing the area at its best is BRAVO
👏
the cemetery ( quiet ) 😉 and the walks on the rocks and the beach are beautiful ~ Luv how Mr Joey gets to enjoy it as well & amazed how fearless he is ‼️ He is simply The Best Pup 🐶 ever
Thanks for sharing another adventure on the Cali coast ⭐️ and that coffee you ended with looked amazing !
Be safe and look fwd to more to come ⭐️
Joey is such a good baby! I’m in love with his underbite.
Gorgeous! What a way to start my Sunday. Thank you for taking us along.
Thanks so much for the many amazing ocean views! I truly appreciate the fact that unlike many others, you are more concerned with sharing your surroundings rather than being on camera yourself so often.
So true story, my husband and I just finished binging Vampire Diaries and all of the spinoff. How did I not know about that show? So fun!!!!
I always think about George Steinbeck and Cannery Row whenever I hear Monterrey Bay.
Loved the photography. Must be weird sleeping next to a cemetery while thinking about Vampire Diaries.
I don't know the Vampire Diaries, but Monterey is the town in Big Little Lies.
So cool to see it visited.
Beautiful spot!
I’m with you on loving the vampire diaries! Thanks for sharing the beautiful views!
Excellent video, the sound of the water cures the soul. And loved the music at the end.
You and Joey need waterproof beach shoes. Thanks for taking us to the Cali coast. 🦋
I agree ...you two are my favourite also, and yes "a lot " is what that house cost...I want to be on those sandy rocky beaches...maybe one day ill make it...have fun, be safe
Getting to visit the beach with you and Joey is such a treat. I thank you for taking us along. 👍😍🐶
Happy travels to you and Joey.
The water was relaxing. So beautiful!!
Perfect spot, heaven on earth!
Beautiful area. Safe travels.
I cant believe that's one house! Your Pacific views are AWESOME!!! 👍😎🇨🇦🌊🌅
Absolutely ❤ Vampire Diaries and Paul Leslie was my favorite character😊
Now you are getting into areas I know! The Monterey Bay Aquarium is excellent, but sadly, no dogs. If you have binoculars (or can afford a whale-watching boat ride!), you can often see sea otters and occasionally whales in the bay by the Aquarium. Carmel is pretty to drive through with Very Expensive houses, but I can’t imagine you’d find overnight parking there. Tidepooling at Asilomar is good, and many other areas going up the coast. Be very careful anywhere there is surf-the riptides are deadly. You will like Mendocino!
Very relaxing and beautiful.
Baby Girl your not alone with watching the Vampire Diaries 🤣🤣🫶🏼🚐😎🐶
Same 🙈😩😍❤️
Just looked up the weather there 60s for high and 50s for lows. That is awesome. We have been in high 80s and low 90s here on the tn/ms boarder.
You find the best places!Thanks for taking us along!!!
I'm in the midst of a TVD re-watch and introduced it to my husband. That show and Twilight are my comfort/junk food media. Thanks for taking us along on your coastal adventures!
Great video! Joey 🤎,🦌,🌊, ☕,📖, guess on mansion by the sea multiple millions💰, Vampire Diaries 👍. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Joey loves to swim! In the ocean even!
Lovely sunset. What a lovely beach. You are very good at finding lovely, free spots.
I used to watch the vampire diaries.
Monterey Bay is another beautiful location along the CA coast. 💕. You will find lots of lovely locations along your route north. Enjoy your travels with sweet Joey! 💕
So. Very. Gorgeous. Just beautiful. So glad you experienced a place like that AND shared it. Thank you!
Maam..just to let you know I subscribe to a few van lifers and other generas of video
YOU AND JOEY ARE MY NUMBER 1 TOP FAVORITE FEMALE VAN LIFER. SO PEACEFUL AND RELAXING AND SUCH BEAUTIFUL PLACES I WILL NEVER SEE. THANK YOU!!!!! Soooo different than florida
Thank you for sharing! I can't travel right now and your adventures make my heart happy😊
You are not alone with Vampire Diaries I just finished watching the whole series again for maybe the 5th time lol
What an awesome spot! One of my favorite childhood memories is going along the 17-mile Drive there while visiting my dad. I truly believe that area is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thank you for sharing with us! :)
You are not alone! I love vampire diaries 💞 Stefan was my favorite. I even bought the Elena necklace lol. I rewatched that series so many times. ❤️
I love the Monterey area. OMG, the houses there are all in the millions. My cousin lives further north in Santa Cruz. That's a fun town if you're able to make it up there. On highway 1, you should stop off in Castroville. It's the artichoke capital of the world. Look up Pezzini Farms (it's actually just before you get to Castroville, it's like the last exit before you get to Castroville), they have a great store there with beautiful produce, and a food truck that has THE best fried artichoke hearts. YUMMMMY !!!!
Spent 4 days in Monterey during pandemic. Stayed at elms, have to be a member. They have a pool,bar,restaurant. All were closed, but still was awesome. Need to go back, the aquarium is the most wonderful place to go through, it was closed too. The beach pull over are incredible.
Elks lodge which was on hill with view of ocean
My very favorite girl and pup!! I named my doggy Joey because I love y'all so much!! ❤😊
That house costs.. ALOTTTT!! 😂
The color of the water in Monterey is fantastic 😊 it’s a pretty incredible coast alright! Glad you are loving it.
Love the Monterey area, my old stomping ground for 30 years,,,enjoy ❤
Love Vampire Diaries along with Twilight. I guess I’m a sucker for cute vampires 🧛 lol Loving the up coast drive. That sunset was amazing ❤
Oh, you found my favorite coffee shop in PG, we love all the same spots! So glad I got to run into you, thanks for the chat !
I have watched your video twice this Sunday morning, love it! Thanks so much for providing your drive around the area including areas to park overnight. Wow, the deer on the beach was a surprise to me. Yes, to the bookstore serving coffee! Looking forward to your travel up the coast, be safe.
Such pretty views of the ocean! Thankyou for sharing
I just love this area of the country! Have you ever visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium - that's pretty cool and a lot of fun if you haven't. I could have stayed all day in the kelp forest room :) I am enjoying your coastline content and envying every single minute of it, LOL!!
Next time you’re in Morro Bay, stop by the Avocado Shack on Main St, if you haven’t already tried it! Lots of gorgeous produce & the owner is very helpful!
I loved this video! And yes, I binge watched The Vampire Diaries years ago. Actually love Damon, hmm maybe I should watch again. And I'd guess 5 million for that house? But I really have no idea. The coast there is just wondrous! Loved the deer. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
What a beautiful place
You should call your channel "My Beautiful Journey"!! I loved Morro Bay for you!
My friend and I go once a year and stay at Asilomar Conference Center to get our beach fix.. it has boardwalks that takes you to the road and across the street is the beach. You probably saw it.
Thanks Sweetie, I use to live by Santacruz, watsonville, missing it so much! Now stuck back in Illinois
Seems Joey is - as am I - more a wader than a swimmer!
❤❤❤❤
You have hit the jackpot finding that location wow it's absolutely beautiful thank you for taking me along❤❤❤❤ hello from North Carolina
I know I say it all the time but I love Joey!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
That is so beautiful there 🩵 I used to live in Half Moon Bay.
The neighbors are quiet.. lmbo! haha I love that!
Asilomar and Pacific Grove (home) are favorites of mine. Enjoy!
Just absolutely stunning views - magical! xx
Happy Sunday thanks for sharing your Trip with us today and the beach is beautiful enjoy your day xoxoxo 💕
Ha, I thought you were saying Van Powers Diary's. I was like, what hehehehehe. Love the footage.
Thank you for the beach trip! Loved it!😊👍💖
nice filming of the coast and fauna. I used live in San Diego miss that part of the coastline. Glad for you and Joey🐻
Definitely going to check it out.
Monterey my home town ❤ enjoy and welcome!!
My Special dog was Ocean Pup. Thank you for your channel.
So nice to see the scenes of California. One of the states we have lived in and loved. You found a beautiful area to spend some great time too. Enjoy!
Each beachy goes you get your little tiny jar at Dollar tree or someplace and put little bit of sand and mark which speech he went to and the date you went there so you have a memory of each sands at different places you've been
I love your channel! Your authenticity and chill vibe are things I really connect with. I have too many fur babies 😂 so I can’t travel full time yet, but watching your journey is giving me so much inspiration for when I can go full time. As always, safe & happy travels to you and little Joey!! 🫶🏼
Thank you so much!!😊💕
Joey’s little waddle walk is theeee cutest 🥰
What a great spot, thanks for the video Chantelle and Joey!
You're such a beautiful lady. Thank you for sharing these wonderful places with us. Keep up the great vibes ☺️
Check out the aquarium there.. I think the third Thursday of every month it’s free to get in.. don’t quote me on that cause I went along time ago but I think it’s 60 dollars now to get in
Gorgeous week. So relaxing. Your videography is awesome. Thanks for the trip.
Hello from England...Thanx for a fabulous video...I always look forward to your journeys..Stay safe and Happy...X
West coast on my list you make it look so easy.
HI Chantalle, I'm sure i spelled that wrong...62 year old woman here with a question, if you feel like answering, if not that's fine. Do you find this lifestyle gets harder or easier the longer you have been doing it? I'm sure having the toilet is a real game changer, and you have learned so much, so perhaps easier? I tried short van adventures and found it so hard on so many levels and recently was blessed with a place I love, so its not something i am considering, but, whenever I watch your videos, I always think wow, you are amazing to be able to keep this up. I know it is not easy, that's for sure, but every situation has its benefits and drawbacks. I know this is a conscious choice you have made, and you gracefully deal with all that it entails as each new circumstance unfolds. You seem to practice staying in the moment. I love getting to go to the ocean with you, and see the sights in this most beautiful part of California. I love how real you are, and how you appreciate life/art/beauty/nature/freedom. Stay safe and well. You are so cool.
Awesome video. Beautiful water.
The deer!🥰
Great video, beautiful scenery!
Thank you for sharing this spot...I've added it to my list!!!
Are you originally from California where youbuild your van? I cant remember. eautiful beachfront parking. Could watch those waves splashing on rocks for hours as you did. Cute coffee bookshop. Area not as crowded as would expect. Very nice.
