  • Hello from Tofino on Vancouver Island! 👋🏼 Tofino is a gorgeous town located on the western side of the island and is known for being the top surf destination in Canada, as well as having stunning views of the ocean, mountains, islands, and more! We spent two days exploring and LOVED every second of this magical place!

    Yes, we are aware that we pronounced Tofino wrong (should be more like “Tuh-fino”). We try extremely hard to pronounce things correctly and are kicking ourselves for messing it up, so please be kind. 😊

      I am a born Canadian, a lifetime Westerner, and I lived in Tofino for a year. You pronounced it just fine, and did a great show on the area. All that mud is caused by the almost non-stop rain ! One word of caution about Canadians ( or maybe everyone in the World) is that they sometimes make something out of nothing, like minor pronounciations. Some of them can get a little neurotic about minor issues. I found your presentation of our part of the world to be excellent.

      Locals call Tofino Tuff (city) and Ucluelet ( You-clue-let) Ukee (youkey). South Wickaninnish beach, plane crash AND Florencio are quite a hike, way to go. Its always THAT MUDDY lol. It’s pronounced Nuu-chal-nuth. Yaaay TACOFINO, The others don’t taste at all the same or have the same vibe. Would have loved to share any time with you two while you were here ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦

    You two are driving me nuts! You keep adding places to go on my bucket list. Been to Victoria and saw the multitude of islands traveling from Victoria to Vancouver and loved it. But clearly I have missed the real gem of that area. Can't wait to visit Tofino and Tacofino. Great video!

    What a beautiful area! My only experience with Vancouver Island is Victoria, and now you've given me a strong desire to return and explore more of the island. Also, while I've made a similar comment at least once or twice previously, I continue to be so very impressed by your editing. Until somebody has edited a video themselves they don't realize how time-consuming it can be. The quick cuts between landscape shots, "talking head" shots, map overlays, glimpses of signs, etc., not to mention between the footage filmed from different cameras, adds such a dynamic flow to your videos. You make it seem so seamless, but the skill and sheer amount of time you put into the editing really sets your channel apart!

    You folks are producing some of the very best travel content on the Internet. The content you are creating helps others like me plan trips. Seriously, it's invaluable. Every episode is always loaded with very useful information. Your story of your journey to Alaska this year is excellent. I subscribe to more than 70 Van Life/Travel/RV/Outdoor/Camping channels now and you've clearly advanced into my "can't miss an episode" of travel content creators. Because much of your focus is on the places you visit and not on the many mundane issues of van life, you are providing the type of terrific content that I get from only six of the 70+ channels to which I subscribe; for e.g., Liz & Dennis w/ Eat See RV; Tim and Fin; From She to Me; Bound for Nowhere w/ Mac & Owen and the up and coming, On World Travel). In the rare instance where you do spotlight "van life", it's on an issue that impacts you and your travel plans. And based on the issue, you demonstrate the steps you take to get back on track (e.g., the busted back window). You don't produce videos where half an episode is devoted to how you clean your van's floor or build a spice rack. Not knocking the content creators that do that, but you seem to personally wrap me up in your journey and take care of me with much of the information I would want to know if I were to do it myself, which is why I watch all of your videos. If I want to know how to change out my coach batteries, I can do a search on that topic. Further, your personalities complement the places you visit and the work you create and not the other way around. That's very refreshing. You mix national parks w/ state parks, small towns w/ big towns; oceans w/ deserts w/ mountains w/ valleys. You're in the great outdoors most of the time, but you also show us interesting stops and venues, places to eat, and events. You're also prolific producers, which I know creates enormous amounts of prep and planning, work, and production while generating stress and fatigue. Your commitment is extraordinary. Anyway, just wanted let you know that this is one subscriber that appreciates the focus of your work and the personalities behind the magic . Thank you both, and keep up the great work!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was a bit eerie! We had plans to visit the Kinzua Bridge last year, but on the way Kona got randomly really sick and we had to detour to take her to the vet. Hopefully we can get back there to see it!

    I thought it was cute the way you pronounced Tofino. Hi from Vancouver Island!
    Great video. Even though I live on central island, I haven't been to the west coast for a few years. But it was so lovely to see it from your viewpoint. Thanks for coming. 🇨🇦🍁

    Wow, this episode is just packed with sooo much beach fun, even Kona had a sand and mud bath :)) Adam's surfing made me laugh so hard, just like Hermione Granger said: it wasn't very good, was it? It's okay, we learn much more from failure than success. The campsite really is expansive, but look at the location and view... well worth it! Hoping to see some breathtaking sunset shots soon!

    The Canso bomber was the Canadian version of the PBY Catalina which was used by the US Navy and the British in WW2. It was a British PBY which spotted the German battleship Bismark in 1941 and the Catalinas were active throughout the Pacific Theater. There are still a few Catalinas still flying.

      As a teacher here in BC, I have to add that First People’s education is front and centre in ALL of our classrooms. It became a requirement about ten years ago and now it is fully integrated. We say greetings and acknowledgment of the land before every assembly, we bring First Nations speakers into the classrooms and read many books. It’s all part of making up for the atrocities and genocides of the past. I’m glad you noticed the difference as it means we are doing something right 👍
