    Wasn’t expecting to tear up from this. You are absolutely my favorite storyteller of all time. The tales that you tell are put together with so much love and compassion it fills my heart with motivation and a new passion for life almost every time. No matter where you are or what you will be filming, I will never cease to indulge in something you create. Please never stop living and finding the beauty in life Elina.❤

    What a beautiful video, the scenery is spectacular! The emotion is powerful. I have watched your PCT video series over and over, they are mesmerizing and the relationships and experiences that you formed along the way were so amazing, my absolute favorite account of a PCT hike, and I have followed many. This video captures the same exuberance for friends and adventure that I loved in your PCT videos. So good to see your return.

    11.5 minutes of complete captivation! You packed so much into those minutes - the man with the healing hands, friendship, mountain views, laughs, wise words, air miles....an absolute joy to watch from a sofa in Ireland! I hope the landing home has been comforting and gentle 😊

    She's baaaaaaaack! 😊 Transitions home are hard for lots of us. I work with children, and teaching small people to cope with transitions is a big thing. e.g. transitioning from home to school, or from activity to activity. Many of us retain this difficulty or unease through adulthood. Preparation for transition and focusing on a new goal once you get there is key.The transition isn't the destination. The destination is the start of the next journey.

    You are a wonderful person. Losing a parent will always hurt. now that time has passed for me I can find joy in seeing my dad places. We never watched winnie the pooh together but that dang bear reminds me of him. Big, comforting, and wise. Now I wear a pooh badge reel to work. Where I'm the most unsure of myself and my decisions, I have my dad close to me. I hope you can find comforts like that. Ive watched your videos from the beginning, I love the kind of story teller you are, if you ever end up in ohio I have a couch you can sleep on. As long as you don't mind a loving bernese mountain dog!

  • @lisadufner4892
    @lisadufner4892 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for sharing these emotions. The way you show them just strikes a cord - it does in each of your videos. I can relate so much as I have trouble finding back to life after the PCT myself at the moment. Great reminder to embrace coming home.

  • @itsMoritz
    @itsMoritz ปีที่แล้ว

    Hiked the PCT last year. This was beautiful to watch and also hurt a lot. I miss being out there, I miss the hiker trash, I miss trail life. Your OG PCT videos where definitely part of the motivation to follow through on it but I didn't expect it to leave such a big hole in my heart afterwards. Time to transform my video footage into a story I guess.

    "Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life." What a great, meaningful message to end. The "filler episodes" have taken most of my 20s to understand the true meaning of this quote. (the journey even took me to Aotearoa once upon a time). Very moved by your work, well done mate!

    Great video. Nothing wrong with adventure or coming home.
    When coming home, I fund it best to sleep somewhere familiar without distraction and sleep to your fill, then sit in the most comfortable chair on a porch with a view, coffee in hand and maybe a good smoke if it's your thing. Just relax and enjoy.

    I hiked halfway of the PCT in 2019, anyone out there wanting to do it this is your inspiration. Also one thing I'm realizing now, 3 years after is you have to be prepared for it to change your life in unexpected ways the good and the bad, but it will be one of the best things you do in your life.

    I was missing your videos quite a lot, and even though I saw your PCT documentary/journal some time after it was poster (year and a half, 2 years maybe) but I found it a the right place and the right time. Those videos helped me battle a depression that I was going through, and got me out of my comfort zone to stuff that I never knew I was good at, never gave it a try, until I saw your channel and gave me the inspiration and insight I needed. So from the bottom of my heart, congratulations on your journey and thank you very much for sharing it, it may have a different effect on many other people, but for me, it was kinda of a swift kicked in the ass I needed to get myself centered

    Hi Elina,
    I just saw this latest video of yours and l just wanted to say a couple of things.
    First, you've had more adventures in such a short amount of time while still so young than most people have had in their entire lifetime, myself included.
    That is something to be proud as well as the fact that your adventures have inspired many others to fulfill their own dreams of going to places they never imagined they would have gone to before which includes myself because thanks to your videos l too have been inspired to do my own thru hike of the PCT and it's all because of my switching on the TV one day when l was on shift at the fire station l was assigned to and just happened to catch one of your videos. Needless to say, l was hooked after that. There are many hikersout there who have inspired others to thru hike, Darwin on the Trail, Whimsical Woman, Marmalade Outdoors, etc.
    But it was your videos that were the original source for my desire to hike the PCT and l am grateful to you for that as well as the countless others who have been inspired by you to do the same.
    Take care , "Tip-Tap".......and thanks. Jim

    I love your videos. I wish you a safe journey wherever you are in the world. I think we've all experienced double travel our whole lives. Physically, it's always kind of obvious to us where we are right now. Parallel to it is the travel of our "soul" with the body. But sometimes that awareness of where, what, when, how and why doesn't have to meet at the same time with our body. And then one day... 😊💚

    It was so fun bumping into you at the dinner in Chamonix. Seeing Veronica and the familiar scenery at TMB brought back memories for me. I’ve been in the shoes of lacking clarity in life. It was not a great feeling. I wouldn’t say I found clarity but while searching for it i learnt more about myself, I learnt to let go a lot and I learnt to remind myself to be grateful for that I have. And I feel content after going through such experience. Life is all about ups and downs. Enjoy riding the waves! Sending ❤😊
