- California’s Pacific Coast Highway is the bucket list road trip for many travelers. In this PCH Road Trip series we take you along on our travel adventure to see why this is one of the best road trips in the United States, and the World!
During our first stop on the PCH road trip, we spent a day exploring sunny Santa Barbara, California by bike while checking off some of the best things to do in Santa Barbara! We had a wine tasting, cruised the beach, and took in the gorgeous Spanish Revival architecture.
After Santa Barbara, we drove over to Solvang, California. Founded by Danish immigrants, Solvang is a piece of old world Europe right in California.
We tried several Danish bakeries and even got to know a few locals along the way. You cannot miss this Pacific Coast Highway road trip series!
We hope you enjoyed our PCH Road Trip travel vlog series. As always, we’ll see you in our next video as we KEEP GOING PLACES!

I appreciate the honest review on the pastry. Too many travel bloggers are so afraid to offend anyone that they just say they like everything.
You’re welcome! We always aim to give an honest review and experience of the places we visit. If not, people can easily get a false impression and then be disappointed when they visit. Thanks for watching!
Loved it! You made us proud by showing our Ligo tradition and doing it right!
I lived in LA for 10 years and loved taking trips to Solvang. I'm sad you didn't enjoy it. I always stayed overnight and even spent weekdays there, and it was lovely. If you visit again, I highly recommend staying overnight at Wine Valley Inn & Cottages (in one of the cottages with a private jacuzzi), eating breakfast at Paula's Pancake House, eating lunch or dinner at Succulent Cafe, and wine tasting at Crawford Family Wines (amazing Grenache!). Also, nearby Santa Ynez is great for wine tasting. And if you're ever in LA and want a good "Danish" (it's actually called a spandauer), Copenhagen Pastry makes better pastries than I had in all of Denmark. Thanks for the vlogs. I have been enjoying them and hope that your channel achieves great success so you can keep going places! :)
I think the issue for you is that you're too used to sugary pastries, as a dane, I can't eat pastries any other places than Denmark or France cause they're all too sweet
Definitely a great stop in Santa Barbara & Solvang. Did that trip several times when I lived in Los Angeles via PCH. I miss the coast of California but not the cost of living there. Another excellent journey guys ! Thanks 👌 😃
Nice, we’d love to visit there multiple times. So much more to see and do than what we did in one day. The cost for this trip was pricey, especially the inns and other accommodations. Thanks for watching and connecting!
Same! I got married at the court house and we basically left CA on a road trip to NC for a much more affordable living…though I visit LA at least once a year and this time I’m thinking of driving to Santa Barbara…love that city so much!
We love a good pastry tour! This place does resemble Europe but sounds more like Disneyland haha. Nice video guys, hope you have a nice two weeks off work! 😊
Haha, it felt more authentic in the evening for sure. Our 2 week vacation was wonderful. Looking forward to sharing more soon.
YES!!!! You nailed it, slow down and enjoy the stories and the people. IMO the rest is all for show. Go on a sensory adventure!!!!
Welcome to California 🏖 ⛰ ☀️
Thank you! So happy to be here!
Love this! I did a short trip through the area when visiting a friend who’s husband was stationed at Vandenburg AFB. We stopped for breakfast in Solvang but got the heck out due to the crowds. Your video showed me it’s worth a trip back! Can’t wait to see where else you all go. I hope you all got to Nepenthe on the PCH cause it’s awesome. If not, it’s worth a visit next time you’re in the area!
Thank you! When we first started walking around Solvang we saw groups on bike carts running into things and kids screaming all around… 😳 that’s when we realized that Solvang did not look like the Instagram photos you see. Lol. But, it was way more laid back in the evening when things calmed down a bit. We didn’t go to Nepenthe, but definitely looked into it. We’ll have to add that one when we visit again!
Love that advice at the end, another great vid!
Thank you!
Those cookies looked delicious ..........
So good! 🍪
Watching travel vlog in travel is such amazing🙂
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
re: 14:40 (pastry), the danish i had in Denmark bore a resemblance to what you showed. theirs was smaller, not covered with powdered sugar and had only a small glob of fruit. The fruity filling was not sickly sweet. I liked theirs a lot better.
Interesting, we didn’t try one of those in Copenhagen but have to agree they’re likely much tastier!
You're videos are amazing, it's quality is amazing and you're really working so hard to produce to create such amazing content...I wish to see you with above millions of subscribers
Thank you so much! We hope to see that too!
You guys are always fun to watch out and about. Glad Jordan scored a solid two weeks off! Also, not to be weird but Ashley looks gorgeous when she is talking about wine at the first wine tasting. Go back, you’ll see I am right. Should be your profile pic! Haha. Anyway, peace and love y’all. Thank you for sharing your life and travels. Appreciate you.
Thank you for following along and the compliments! Ashley always looks great 😊 thanks for watching
Yeah you’re right. Both of guys always look nice:)
Your Videos makes my day😍
Yay, thank you!
Nice editing & superb content too. 👍🇮🇳
Thank you! ☺️
I did the same thing a few weeks ago. And was super cranky after an hour and a half drive because of traffic to end up at the only Cafe on the beach, we had never been too and the food and drinks were bad. And it was hot, I had just got a lower back tattoo. And thought the day was ruined. Stopped at the closest bar/restaurant got a few drinks felt better but still super hot, then looked up a fancy restaurant and it ended up being great! Then came back to the previous bar to watch the sunset with drinks. Can't let things throw you off and try to keep finding other fun things close by....
That’s the reality of travel, isn’t it? Definitely forces an attitude check so we can all enjoy the journey.
i might do the exact same trip for december christmas break so its not too hot !! (if i dont book a flight somewhere else)
That sounds like an awesome way to spend your break!
It's possible things are different in the States than in Canada but are you not supposed to wear masks for inside coffee shops and things like that? 0:43
Most of the country now allows fully vaccinated people to forgo masks in most situations. Some individual business may still require it though. When they do, we wear them!
Can I buy a house in finland without permanent residence
It seems like only western countries allow non citizens to purchase a house in a country they don’t live in! 🤦♀️ smh
I'm not a fan or puff pastry either.
That child probably had a pastry and is missing a nap by now.
😆
Californians don’t really (never)say Cali..
It’s California..nice program though 👍🏼
Totally! We’re definitely not Californians so maybe we get a pass this time. 😅 Thanks so much for watching!
