Anyone watching from South America or Antarctica? Only two continents we have not heard from in the comments today of where you are watching from!
I am from Brevard, N.C and started watching when you announced your A. T. Thru hike. Enjoy watching every day! Keep walking and talking!!
USA, California - I started watching since your first Camino series. 💕
Watching from St Joseph, Mo, USA, which is in N.W. Missouri, 45 miles north of Kansas City, Mo. I subscribed and started watching your channel about 6 weeks before you decided you were going to buy a boat. I've been here every episode since. ❤ The Pony Express started here and ended in Sacramento, Cal. Jesse James didn't start here, but he was permanently "canceled" here.
Hi I’m from the mountains of Northern California. I started watching you at the beginning of this hike. But love you guys and your lifestyle and will watch some of your old videos.
Scotland! I started watching when you were learning to sail.
Watching from Helsinki, Finland. Started when you moved in to Lemonade. I was inspired by your camino series, and walked it myself the summer of 2019. I thought that if you and the kids can, then I can do it too, and it was the adventure of a lifetime. Thank you so much.
I live on Waiheke Island, New Zealand, (when I am not exploring the world with my family). I discovered your channel when you were living in Hyères, France. I remember thinking that you were so honest as you spoke about making friends as foreigners abroad. Your Camino content was absolutely compelling and I also watched many of your adventures in Lemonade. More recently, as I am not particularly keen on sailing content, I have returned to follow your AT journey. You are such a lovely family and I really enjoy your fresh, earnest and determined approach to following your bliss.
