Thanks for the update! I loved watching your videos of your days on the PCT. I miss them so much and will definitely be rewatching them! Glad to see you and Nick are doing well! Greetings from California!
Nick’s laughing is my favorite part! And seeing you ride your bikes on that beautiful trail. Reminded me of the one in Kauai we did. It’s great seeing you both again ❣️
Delightful update. Thanks for checking in. It’s insane here in the U.S. We moved to Oregon last September and had a lovely fall, some light snow, bought a big ass house, and we’ve spent the entire lockdown renovating it. So many projects that kept us busy from morning til night. The hubs built me a raised garden for vegetables and herbs, which kept me busy babysitting tomatoes, beets, Swiss chard etc, then canning, pickling, freezing and making jam from our fruit trees!!! Grateful we have gotten through this nasty virus healthy, wearing masks, staying away from crowds, staying out of crowded spaces. Cheers and best wishes!
Good to see you two! What an epoch journey you had together. Obviously the first of many more to come. Thank you for voting all the way from New Zealand! : - D
Nice to see you here again guys, such a cute vlog 😊 Happy PCT anniversary, can't believe a whole year has passed! Also super excited for you to hit 100k subscribers soon Mari, you deserve it so much 💚
I think your my favorite traveling hiking couple I have seen on youtube. You hiked pct in the highest snow year. Major accomplishment, and glad your both well!
just came across your channel and binged the whole journey. thank you for sharing with us! did you ever fear for your life climbing mt. whitney during the dark? i am planning a PCT 2022 thru hike and all the footage of mt. whitney looks so scary!
That was definitely the scariest part for me! But it was 100% worth it. The other good thing is that it’s not actually part of the PCT so you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to 😊
Great to hear rom you again Mari, Nick, Bart and Party Tart, in celebration mode. I'm glad you're all well and happy. I enjoyed the Taranaki clip and it reminded me that I haven't been there for years. Too busy with the South Island. Please send some Wellington hills up here to the Waikato! Happy trails.
Hi Mari, great to see you guys back! I absolutely love your choice of music in your videos. It's always spot on and make the videos even more special. Thank you! ❤
So awesome that you guys were able to do the PCT and experience the adventure together. More people need to get out and just walk somewhere and they would be much more happy
Great Video Mari! Hard to believe it's been a year! I came here to CHCH NZ at the end of January of 2019. I planned to return to the states to visit but life happened. I miss my family, and I miss the Bay Area too, but I appreciate the reality of a safer place away from CoronaVirus. Finally, I get to tour NZ starting in two weeks. Tekapo, Queenstown, and Milford Sound are on the itinerary. We're not going to rough it too much. Sightseeing, cozy motels, and Hotels!
Mari, whenever I watch your vlogs I find this smile over my face. You and Nick, I'm sure have this affect on most of your viewers. Just saying, take care.
I think my favorite video of yours from trail was in Washington when the trail had obviously kicked your teeth in and moral was very low but the vid was juxtaposed with happy/peppy music. Was I the only one that caught this ?
Congrats on the 1 year trail anniversary! Glad you're back with another Vlog and with more NZ! I enjoyed the part of you and Nick biking in particular. Where exactly was that bike path!? Amazing scenery!
Mari Johnson I may end up in NZ one day as well. I have dual Aus/Canadian passports so the Aus one allows me to live in NZ. Christchurch was the first independent backpacking trip I ever did at the tender age of 21! So I have a very special connection to NZ.
Happy anniversary and so happy to see you guys! You have all the cozy clothes, and you guys inspired what I'll be having for dinner tonight (the ramen looked BOMB!) Take care!
Taco Salad! What's up? Good to see that the Covid didn't catch you're tongue! Miss you're PCT vids. They had to close parts of the PCT here in Oregon because of fires but at least the smoke kept antifa out of the Peoples Republic of Portland for awhile. Take it easy TC/MJ! Wayne and Sarah in Orygun!
Was just looking for something from you yesterday. Happy anniversary! I live in Western Australia and I think if I had to move because of this C-19, New Zealand would be a good choice. .... Loved watching your thru-hike. I’m too old to do it now (73 and not fit enough) but used to look fwd to your posts. .... I have kitted out a van and have traveled quite a lot in it ... only short trips this year, but am hoping to go to a quilting retreat at Ayers Rock (oops, sorry, Uluru) next year, and then drive on up to Darwin, catch the Ghan down to Adelaide, fly back to pick up the van and drive back home via the West coast. Love my van. Cheers from Faye in Pinjarra, West Aussie.
For as long as you live, if you never do a long hike again, you will find your thoughts going back to the PCT. I am getting to old to consider a thru hike, but I did hike a small section with my son down by Diamond Lake this summer. We had a great time. I would stand on the trail and think of the vloggers I have watched and to think they all had been this way. Thanks for sharing your journey, and I will continue with my little sections.
Wow, a year goes fast, right!? It was amazing watching your entire PCT journey and so interesting to hear your reflections on the experience now. Plymouth looks amazing. I'm really hoping to do the New Zealand Working Holiday whenever that's an option again. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy watching your channel from rainy Washington. 💚🌲☔
@@mari.johnson Washington may have rained on you but it still loves you! 😊Enjoy your all of your awesome NZ adventures, whether or not you choose to share them with us here! 💚
OH MY !!!! Your back ! Thought you were finished with You Tube. Im here in your old school days home...the San Fran Bay Area....a very smoky Bay Area. Happy to see you are back and doing OK. Wondering...any new adventures planned after Covid? Anyway...happy your back...do stay safe and all of us in Nor Cal say YEA !!!!....happy trails
Wooohoooo Mari was thinking of you two the other day! So happy to see you again. Hope you come back on youtube soon. 🥰🥰 In London been quiet and everything is upside down still in London in regards to C-19. I brought a guitar but am slow to playing it. Got a tattoo which is in italian of course its 'sbagliando si impara' which means by making mistakes one learns. That's it for me. So good to see you hun. Maybe do a zoom session one day. Xx
Good to see ya'll again and hope you are doing well, congratulations on thru hike again, have missed ya'll, not much this year with all crap happening, ok stay safe
Mari, you and Nick buy a cheap fixer upper 27 - 35 ft sailboat, sail from New Zealand to Australia, or sail around New Zealand, or sail around Australia, it's like living in a camper just on the water
I've been good. I completed the Bruce Trail here in Canada last summer with my new dog. A1nd this summer we've been going back and doing the side trails a lot. I think you ate so poorly on the trail, it worried me about your health to see your food.. I'm supprised you didn't collaps from mailnutrition, exhaustion, and vitamin deficancy. Ha. I always make a point to eat healty if I'm exerting that much energy but none of my buisness, I know. I really appreciate your videos and love the style. You inspire me to hike more trails.
I watched the whole vid :) Any idea what you're up to around xmas/new year time? I'm possibly doing a road trip up to Coromandel. Haven't finalised plans yet. But if you're in Wellington I could stop by and say hi :)
Would love to see Nick cook Taco Salad it is something I had not heard of before you started talking about it . Have looked up a few recipes but would love to see your version.
One meal I developed for the trail that is also popular at home is clam chowder/oyster stew. The difference between the two is whether clams or oysters are available in a can. PS I hope you buy some of your cycling kit from Groundeffect in Christchurch.
Happy anniversary 👣 mari johnson yeeaaaahhhh🤭 the clothes you wear now, the clothes you often wear while traveling at pct. always healthy mari and husband Yeeeaaah 🤭
No citizenship, but I recently got permanent residency. I got it through partnership, so can’t really help out about other ways unfortunately. But if you find a kiwi..! Haha
@@mari.johnson oh no, not Biden...he too old, 77, he not make it four years, plus he will never run for a second term, he just hang out and do nothing, i will probably vote for Trump, he another old white man, but at 74 seems to have a ton of energy, shakes things up a bit, and does seem to accomplish some things, i guess, even if he seem to have a lot of issues at times, overall i liked Tulsi Gabbard as president, but she only got small % of the vote in the primaries, Biden's health not great, probably wont make it four years, that means Kamala Harris will be our president

Happy to hear you are doing well! We are doing well in western 🇨🇦 too, and looking forward to another camping trip before the rains settle in ☺️
Hey! Happy to hear it! Ooh another camping trip sounds like a great idea!
So awesome that you guys were able to do the PCT and experience the adventure together. More people need to get out and just walk somewhere and they would be much more happy

Happy to be able to share it with you! The bike path is in New Plymouth - I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance!
You guys are so fortunate to be back in NZ!!

This felt so nostalgic and I only watched the adventure, can't imagine how you guys must have felt on this day!
This is a cool celebration :))
It feels surreal!
Hey Mari, hope you and nick are well and coping in the US with Covid. Was wondering if you guys would ever move back to little old NZ.

Glad to see ya Mari 😌 And thanks for the updates happy news about Nat/Matt
It’s been a while!
Would love to see Nick cook Taco Salad it is something I had not heard of before you started talking about it . Have looked up a few recipes but would love to see your version.

Great video Mari. That was fun.

Miss you so much Mari!!
Sorry to leave you hanging for so long!
Happy living to you guys too.

I watch your chanel, Good vibes from Brazil!
"Wellington is a really good city for walking" This Australian almost died the first time walking there. So many hills!
Kalliste As a native SanFranciscan, I know I’d be fine. Mari is from my neck of the woods so I’m sure she’s loving it.
Haha yes it’s true. I enjoy the hills!
Great upload, Mari! 👍
Cheers!
Next you have go to Indonesia you have to go to lombok island and hiking there
I would love to go back to Indonesia one day! Beautiful country and people. I have videos of visiting the Gili Islands and Bali if you’re interested 😊
@@mari.johnson yeah because lombok is better than bali 😍
Well done to getting 100k. Recommend you guys to zoolandia excellent place in Wellington.
I love trail food on trail but cant stand it at home. LOL
Yeah definitely not as good!
One meal I developed for the trail that is also popular at home is clam chowder/oyster stew. The difference between the two is whether clams or oysters are available in a can.
PS I hope you buy some of your cycling kit from Groundeffect in Christchurch.
Happy trailversary
Thanks Colton!
@marijohnson. You are very welcome, can't wait to feel that experience in 2022

No citizenship, but I recently got permanent residency. I got it through partnership, so can’t really help out about other ways unfortunately. But if you find a kiwi..! Haha
I think you are better off just voting in NZ. You have better options available.
👊😃
who you vote for?
Biden!
@@mari.johnson oh no, not Biden...he too old, 77, he not make it four years, plus he will never run for a second term, he just hang out and do nothing, i will probably vote for Trump, he another old white man, but at 74 seems to have a ton of energy, shakes things up a bit, and does seem to accomplish some things, i guess, even if he seem to have a lot of issues at times, overall i liked Tulsi Gabbard as president, but she only got small % of the vote in the primaries, Biden's health not great, probably wont make it four years, that means Kamala Harris will be our president
