3 Days Sunshine Coast British Columbia Road Trip (What to do)

[@EricandSarah]

CHALLENGE: Count how many times we said the word “beautiful” in this video 🤣 The Sunshine Coast is truly SO BEAUTIFUL! If you’ve been before, leave other recommendations below👇

[@MIRRORIMAGEWORLD]

The one really nice thing about most of the beaches on the coast is that they all face West towards the Island, so you always get great views of the sunset.

[@emmshelley]

Definitely a hops plant!! It's part of the farm they have at Persephone. And the art is Robert's Creek is the mandala, and every summer it gets taken off and repainted by the community :)

[@EricandSarah]

Oh that’s so cool!! Didn’t know it gets repainted every year… what a beautiful piece of art!

[@leannepenner7806]

Thanks for travelling the Sunshine Coast, so glad you enjoyed it. I live on the Sechelt Inlet and couldn’t agree with you more. I get to wake up to mountain views and a few minute walk to the trails. I absolutely love living here. Filled with amazing beauty that I never get tired of and wonderful people. Safe travels.

[@EricandSarah]

Oh wow we’re jealous! We would love to live on the Sunshine Coast. It’s the perfect mix of ocean and mountains!

[@DavidandSarah]

We love museums as well. Especially the ones here in Canada. We love learning about the History of this beautiful place! That sunset was incredible! We love BC.

[@laurelgillespie5612]

Thanks!

[@lettershome4579]

I love BC. Did not get to see or experience enough when I was there for a friend's wedding in August. I completely understand the constantly being amazed by our countries beauty. I have now driven from west to east and all over Ontario this summer and I just can't get over how stunning it all is. It's a never ending discovery of amazing.

[@EricandSarah]

Canada truly is SO BEAUTIFUL 🥰 There’s so many places to explore.

[@bodvargregersen5161]

This video was just great! Your photography and videography was magnificent. You are so lucky to have such beauty at your finger tips!

[@EricandSarah]

Thank you Bodvar! We appreciate it as always 😄 We are so lucky!

[@catnakable]

yes, that is a hops plant!! I have picked hops at Persephone! Thank you for this video. I am born and raised on the coast, and you have done an amazing job showing off the coast!

[@EricandSarah]

Oh awesome! Such a cool plant. Glad you thought we did the coast justice… we loved our time there ☺️

[@polarlab113]

Persephone sucks

[@muxux4]

Love aquatic life in Canada (big lake, small lake, bays, ocean) with all the vegetation and hills around (never been to BC though)! It's so serene and beautiful. Love a good beer too!

[@EricandSarah]

Same!! We are happiest when by any sort of water ☺️

[@fredae.mcdermott]

Hi Eric & Sarah. Absolutely loved your video. We've live on the Coast for 42 years now, and for the last 7 years in Sechelt. We are 15 minutes walking distance from the Lighthouse pub, and have a view from our house from both the Sechelt Inlet and the Georgia Strait. Our favourite place for fish and chips though is Sharkey's Fish Locker in Roberts Creek, just across the highway form the pier. We get them and eat them on the beach. Heaven !.The ferry ride to Powell River is my favourite, and the drive to the town is great. We always park and let the traffic go by and the drive then is much more enjoyable. I'm happy you had such an enjoyable stay, your's is the best video of the Coast I've seen so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos.

Morning, found the video of your "We Bought A Van" and the short tour, you asked for help but now a few moths later it looks like you did all right. You did the most common mod to the shower, turn it into a storage area, the fridge gone and a cooler instead, Saw the part where you resealed the windows, good job, you kept the cabinets, I was going to suggest that too. Did you replace the old propane tank with a new one, if not, plan on doing it as soon as financially possible, those old tanks can let go at any time. the next thing you might want is an awning, let me suggest the MoonShade, google it. It's about the only one that really works because there's not weight added to the upper shell of the van. Then maybe a Lithium battery upgrade, research it, then convert all the interior lamps to LED softlight bulbs, pack of 15 for less than $20 on amazon. Don't bother with solar, your roof won't handle the weight over time. I'm planning on touring the west coast of Canada next year all the way to Alaska, maybe we'll meet.

[@jenfrisk8694]

You guys did an awesome job of showing the beauty of the Sunshine Coast. Thanks for showing my art studio too. It was great to meet you both! Happy Travels!

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks Jen! It was so lovely to meet you and Pete. You were excellent hosts!! And thanks for showing us your van and art 😊

[@Helpful4All]

So appreciated with you guys life, and thanks for bringing us the beautiful places in the world we can't afford to go. Love getting a long with your travels

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks for tagging along with our adventures 😄

[@franklinnorth7708]

Gibsons, Love it, moved here 6 years ago. House on the Bluff, 30 ft Sailboat in the Harbour, life is good.

[@EricandSarah]

Oh wow we’re jealous!! That sounds like a dream 😍

[@lanceandshelleypeters-en465]

Thanks for reminding us how “beautiful” the Sunshine Coast is. We haven’t been back for quite a while. Definitely going to spend some time there next summer.

[@EricandSarah]

It seriously is so beautiful though!! 😂 Glad we could inspire you to go again… we definitely plan on spending more time there!

[@ChristianWeinmann]

Hey guys. I want to send you a big thank you for your video. Especially the kayaking at paddels and pedals was amazing. We would never have found this place without your video. ❤

[@EricandSarah]

That’s great! We were surprised to find it ourselves. Definitely coming back here soon. Thanks for watching!

[@Jetmab04]

Wow, what a stunningly beautiful place but, it must also be freezing cold during the Canadian winter! Keep enjoying your tour and life 💕❤️💕

[@windsongdesigns6655]

Best video yet. I haven't had the chance to explore BC but it is number one on my Canadian travel bucket list. The Mountains and water at the beginning of the video reminded me of my travels in New Zealand. Canada is so beautiful! Cheers from Northern Ontario.

[@EricandSarah]

We’ve heard before that BC and New Zealand are very similar in landscape! Hope you make it to BC sometime soon 😊

[@zach-yo4xn]

Nice video, you guys are awesome

[@darrenheaps9272]

So glad I found you guys!....love from Valemount....northern B.C!!

[@CalamityTravels]

So beautiful guys!! Honestly sometimes that word is all that is needed! 😌😍 would love to visit here someday!! Canada is high on our list!!

[@EricandSarah]

Hope you make it here soon… it’s beeeeeeautiful 😄

[@k_and_m8745]

Amazing! Not sure if this is an option but maybe split up some of the videos of different areas/adventures and capture more of your experiences because I actually wanted more of your kayaking, ocean life, hiking and overnighting experience. This will also allow you to save videos for a later date to keep content on a weekly basis if you need downtime, or if God for bid someone gets sick.

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks for the feedback! We appreciate hearing what interests you! We did originally discuss making this into a two part video… but unfortunately our Canada videos haven’t interested the majority of our audience so we don’t want to drag on the series too long. But it’s good to know what you like to watch! :)

[@janhertzberg1797]

Your sincere appreciation of nature is wonderful. Really makes me want to visit the Sunshine Coast. Well done!

[@EricandSarah]

It’s hard to hold back when everything is so breathtaking!

[@OZhavingfun]

Thanks for a great info vid, heading to the Sunshine Coast soon & I’m looking forward to videoing some amazing scenery!

[@lowellbower3980]

Thanks! Wife and I are going to Sunshine Coast in a few months and this video is super useful.

[@EricandSarah]

So glad to hear that!! Enjoy your trip there :)

[@tunzlover1682]

Great video! Ive lived here for 9yrs. Most days I cant believe I live here. Yes! It is beautiful! I wonder how many times Ive said that!🎉

[@OurFreedomYears]

It's been so fun watching you guys kick around BC! I (Gillian) spent a bunch of time there in my younger years...never made it to the sunshine coast though. Thanks for sharing the beauty with us. 😊

[@EricandSarah]

Thank you!! So cool you actually know at least some of BC. If you ever make it back there, the Sunshine Coast is definitely worth looking into! So glad you guys are in Ecuador now - kinda jealous, not gonna lie 😅

[@brandonpeniuk]

You guys are giving my island vibes. I'm headed to Victoria and Campbell River in June. I'm looking forward to vacation/adventure. Thanks for taking the internet on the adventure with you. We all appreciate it. I used to watch Danger Bay. It was my favorite show. Well it was third. First was the Ateam then thunder cats. I've always wanted to go over to the sunshine coast. Have you guys been to Salt Spring Island?

[@Yogurtling]

Awesome video guys!

[@EricandSarah]

Thank you! ☺️

[@dizdizzle2]

Beautiful! :)

[@EricandSarah]

Beeeeeautiful 😉

[@zevc3591]

Thanks for the video!👍😊

[@jigglybuff1]

I live there

[@mpcat7958]

welcome to BC

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks… we were actually born and raised here though 😊

[@mpcat7958]

@@EricandSarah that's wonderful

[@mikewatkins978]

An after thought, why is the AC unit still there? You don't have a generator so the only time it can be used is when you're connected to shore power, Personally I would remove it and install a MaxFan, two reasons, first it removes a hundred plus pounds from the highest point on the house which will cut down on the side-roll in corners or turning, and two, the MaxFan will provide great air circulation. The conversion to a lithium house battery would be the best upgrade for that van. Sorry, I guess I already mentioned that,,,, Now lets work on an idea to fix that upper right front window, cracked plexiglass and black tape,,,,,, I don't think you'll ever find a direct fit replacement for it, One fix would be to remove the tape and clean it real well then use a bead of superglue to seal the crack and stop it from cracking further,,,,,,,,,, Another idea would be to remove the tape and get creative with art, maybe a giant closed eye and the left side be the open eye,,,,, Well anyway, it's great to see a couple work so well together,,,,, not sure what's been edited out, but you look happy and that counts.

[@shreditwithnirali1148]

Amazing ❤

[@hrdassmack3566]

Would have liked to see powell river more,but u2 are cute so I'll let it go.if you ever want a 3 way I'm dwn!

[@DuaneBurnett]

Holy smokes. The comment is gone again! Will tag your Facebook page on Sunshine Coast BC Canada. Not sure what's going on here.

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@DuaneBurnett]

Awesomesauce! Sharing on Sunshine Coast BC Canada page on that F social website dare not mentioned on KZbin. Hope you had a Fantastic time! Will try to hypertag you if that's ok?

[@EricandSarah]

Sure! Thanks!

[@reejan8109]

What a clueless couple! Persephone Brewing - any idea why it's called that? The mandala at Roberts Creek - just some pretty art, huh??? Those mountains across from Roberts Creek....try Vancouver Island! I give up.

[@EricandSarah]

Sounds like you should make a KZbin video!

[@riggermortisfpv526]

Not everything here is so beautiful. We have a massive homeless problem nobody is doing anything about. We have one freakin road....one....we had another one being built in the 80's but they stopped and never resumed. We have the worst part of the housing crisis going on here and the region is completely dominated by extremely rich older folks making many areas here hostile to families with children. Oh did I mention that after you get sick of hippie art winding trails and BS bohemian shops there isn't much else here, and what is here is priced to make maximum dollars off of tourists....nothing is affordable here and we have no big box stores or even much to do at night. I doubt Ill spend the rest of my days here.

[@EricandSarah]

We understand that every place has issues… but it doesn’t mean that the nature isn’t beautiful! We spoke nothing about what it’s actually like to live there so our perspective is simply that it’s a beautiful place to visit (which it is). Hope you get a chance to move elsewhere if you dislike it so much.

[@reejan8109]

You forgot to mention what a disaster the ferry service is! Especially during the months of the year the Coast is flooded with tourists and locals are stuck.
