[@OneLifeZ4]

Why does it take that long to load?

[@zhenruichen]

[@heyheyfc]

Her internet speed there is really bad..

[@kan-zee]

[@AnitaSharma-zm7qi]

Beautiful videos of nice girl :)

[@itsewelina]

The whole time I was watching this video i had smile on my face. You just make me smile ;-)

[@mari.johnson]

Aww and this comment makes me smile!! xoxo

[@AnitaSharma-zm7qi]

Mari Johnson Hi beautiful. Can I have your contact no. Or whatsapp no. Or email. I am coming to Christchurch in Aug or Sept. It will be glad to meet beautiful and nice girl as you...

[@CarlosPereira-jy5ni]

I'm not a video commentator type of guy...but i simply could not resist on letting you know about how irresistible/contagious your personality and smile are!!! Carpe diem, Captain Mari!!!

[@CecileBizetBeauty]

I love your videos so much! You are so genuine and just plain awesome! Keep it up :)

[@TheUltimatedViewershipChannel]

Mari, my favourite vloger thanks for sharing about yourself. Love your own productions.

[@nadinenarita132]

Really appreciate your joyfulness, open-ness, authenticity and honesty. It's so refreshing. Thanks for doing this video!

[@mari.johnson]

And thank you for watching! As always :)

[@vegexperiment8013]

She's so beautiful. The fact that she gives off a bit of shyness just shows that she's only starting to really come out of her shell and blossom. Kind of reminds me of a Disney princess or something.

[@catrinaalexis]

I love how positive you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mari.johnson]

:)

[@patricia7149]

Hi Mari, the middle child rocks! Thanks for sharing about yourself.

[@1brendarubi]

I played the clarinet in school, did the exact same thing.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I loved all the picture insets. That was a fun addition. We have so much in common! From middle child to drinking water, it's kinda crazy.

[@mari.johnson]

+Perfect Little Planet That's cool to hear!!

[@RGC198]

You mentioned liking libraries. Have you ever visited the Willard Library? I have never been there, but the pictures of it look awesome. When visiting cities, I always like trying out the local public transport, especially trains and trams.

[@mari.johnson]

I haven't, I'll have to check it ou!

[@RGC198]

Hi Mari, I better mention to please be extra careful when checking the Willard library. It is a beautiful building over 100 years old, but it is also known to be haunted. Certainly adds to the flavour of the place anyway. all the best from Robert.

[@nomadicmatt]

Pad Thai is also my favorite! That makes me want to go back to Bangkok! I also hate slow walkers in NYC. It irks me to no end....it also makes it hard to walk in other places around the world because no one walks as fast as us!

[@mari.johnson]

+Matthew Kepnes Yep, New Yorkers could probably win all speed walking competitions. Unfortunately they're probably all too busy to enter haha. Now I want to go back to Bangkok too!

[@milouf6174]

Glad to hear there was someone else in the world who loved designing floor plans of her bedroom! Most fun ever!

[@JPGoesGlobal]

Wowwww. Yearbook camp. Did games include page layout races and scavenger hunts for things to put on your personalized collage?

[@mari.johnson]

Bahaha something like that!

[@monkayla100]

I was messing around on youtube and i came across some of your videos. I'm graduating from high school this week and figuring out what to do and watching this video was a trip for me because there were so many things that i had in common and like I'm just so happy right now and don't really know why

[@mari.johnson]

Aw I love this. Happy graduation!! :)

[@HannahMcFarlane1029]

I have just discovered your videos and love them! Catching up on old ones in-between new uploads. Also the left/ right confusion thing, I totally have that too! Good to know I'm not alone :)

[@mari.johnson]

Hi Hannah!! Welcome! Happy to "meet" you! Ha and nice I'm not alone on that one! 😊

[@RichiePhongsavath]

Come to Buffalo, NY. My family owns an authentic Thai restaurant that is very popular among the locals and visitors. It’s called Taste of Siam.

[@LE-fj8wr]

I loved this video. I am exactly the same in so many of the things you said. Makes me really want to travel more, I spent most of last year travelling but now I have a permanent job that I really like. I'm going to save up this year and go to India and also go on weekends away in the highlands.

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Yep, I was pretty nerdy as a kid too...lol! I still like to learn tons of different things. This was a super cool video about you, uploaded using limited wifi/internet. 👏🏽

[@mari.johnson]

Woohoo to nerds!

[@TuanNguyen-bx4jr]

Loved all your SE Asia video, was just there myself over the summer. Also Go Huskies! From a fellow graduate of the UW!

[@mari.johnson]

+Tuan Nguyen Awesome! Go Huskies!!

[@staceyaspinall8872]

I love all the needy stuff, that's so me too!! especially costco free samples!! c

[@mari.johnson]

Yes! Seriously they're the best!

[@RoyceNobles]

Love your channel, have fun out there!

[@theadventurjess]

Ahhhh!!! You are so amazing!!! Have you ever played boom cup? I played that for the first time last night, soo fun!!!

[@mari.johnson]

Never even heard of it!! What is it?!!

[@dmystify1381]

....you must of forgotten to mention....Your an absolute stunner.

[@drewgilmour3489]

Love your PCT videos, are you going to do a triple crown?

[@carlmoot6315]

just found your channel, great videos

[@samian6415]

Mari please come to Kuala Lumpur again.

[@samian6415]

All your videos are superb.

[@TommyLane]

Thanks. I enjoyed this video. I understand completely about getting stuck behind slow people in NYC when I'm in a hurry. Happens all the time to me. I also prefer walking. I would rather walk 10 blocks than wait for a connecting train or bus. You have a nice, bubbly personality. You seem like a "what you see is what you get" type; genuine.

[@mari.johnson]

Thanks Tommy!

[@joe651dzd]

Cool channel! A week from today I leave home for SE Asia before I start my year/work visa in AUS. So stoked!! Mahalo!

[@mari.johnson]

+joe651dzd Awesome - congrats!

[@brucewest3995]

Should have done a cartwheel at the end of the PCT trek.

[@ryanjohnson5035]

Try the Pad Thai at STARFIRE in Skagway, Alaska. (thats where I live). It's great. The owner Judd has spent decades traveling in SE Asia. We have the BEST hiking too. I like your videos you have an awesome sense of humor. I also majored in Polysci. (and i'm a history enthusiast). Geography was my other major. Old libraries are cool.

[@sabrinak.8386]

Thanks to qkatie, I've finally found another KZbinr who loves traveling! Loving ur videos so far! 😊

[@mari.johnson]

+Ciara P. Hi Ciara! Aw awesome to hear! Katie is the best! Thanks for stopping by!

[@sabrinak.8386]

+Mari Johnson anytime! :)

[@ineedacoolername1]

Wow!! I have never met anyone with some of my random quirks: I was also my school's yearbook editor chief and also went to yearbook seminars, and not only that i am also super dyslexic with my rights and lefts! hehehe you are not alone!! love your vids, keep on xoxo

[@mari.johnson]

+Maria Sal So Awesome! And even our names are similar! hehe

[@snook5ste]

Greetings from Italy Mari! There will be a Italy trip?

[@LE55ONS]

I'd say about 80% of my students will get left and right mixed up when learning to drive. I will say 'at the end of the road turn right', they mirror-signal left and I say 'the other right' which always produces a smile :-)

[@FableFeather]

You look so happy and well rested!

[@mari.johnson]

Aw well I guess that's true!

[@saviyou]

YAY...we've been waiting for this! Thank you Mari. I need to do one of these, but man I have a hard enough time just editing my regular vlogs. BTW, I'm told I make some of the most amazing pad thai

[@mari.johnson]

That's awesome! It's a goal of mine to one day make excellent pad Thai!

[@Mibrillo]

OMG! Every time I say I am cleaning my room I end up re arranging it!! also into interior design! Nice to get to know more about you! :)

[@mari.johnson]

It's so fun to do! xo

[@arilyzette]

I relate to you so much! 💙

[@mari.johnson]

:)

[@kalliste01]

Ugh slow walking people are SO FRUSTRATING! It's school holidays at the moment here and it seems like every family is at the mall and they take up so much space and dawdle along! Drives me crazy!

[@betterhalfservices]

hey did you noticed when you said "just try to have a good time" at 8:39, notice the falling star, was it a falling star?

[@betterhalfservices]

+betterhalfservices oh perhaps a bird saw them at the last part of the vid but try to check the 830

[@mari.johnson]

+betterhalfservices Someone else commented saying it was a UFO - hadn't noticed it before that! I like the sound of a falling star better though!

[@betterhalfservices]

+Mari Johnson just falling star, people wish when they see one and great timing when you said "just try to have a good time" since many dont have a good time anymore. falling star leaves that burn trace upon entering earth

[@sarahdippity]

Nice to meet you Mari! Love the 50 things you've shared. Btw, it's hard to hear your voice sometimes because it's too windy. Maybe next time you can film the video inside? Just subscribed to your channel because I enjoyed your Iceland vlog very much! I just came back from Iceland too so I totally appreciate your PoV of the visit!

[@samian6415]

I can show you around KL.

[@Socalnik66]

I'm a new sub. You made me smile for about 11 min straight. Thanks!

[@mari.johnson]

+evelec8166 And you made me smile! :)

[@ols7462]

Come to Istanbul! We have the oldest libraries here! You definitely should visit Istanbul too before ending your world tour. You said you had a culture shock in Australia after south east countries. After seeing both west and east Istanbul will be very interesting for you. Because Istanbul is not an eastern city but not a western city either. Istanbul is the crossroads of the world! You can switch between continents with one step. From asia to europe with a 5 minute walk. There is so much to see here from rich history with legendary adventures and libraries and museums of Ottoman Empire to modern republic life...

[@mari.johnson]

That sounds amazing! I'd love to go there one day!!

[@HereDiianas]

I am in France and one of my dream is to visit Istanbul... Very soon hopefully :-)

[@TheOpinionatedLassie]

Hey Mari! I am an aspiring travel KZbin like you! I love watching your videos, happy travels!

[@mari.johnson]

+The Opinionated Lassie Aw yay! Happy travels to you too! :)

[@rachelcrescenzo7702]

We have so much in common!

[@nicolemayer1671]

I love the bachelor too!

[@bradpitt337]

Thanks Mari!😊

[@NateM]

I love how you own who you are... awesome! :)

[@Koalagurl77]

You are a pretty awesome person including your "awkward" laugh 😊 I love how you save up for experiences instead of materials things too.

[@mari.johnson]

Thanks Lielle!

[@simondergez377]

Great video, started checking your channel a few weeks ago, since I'm going on a big voyage in summer. A whole year living Australia, loving it! :D This video is really great, just love the facts. I'm a middle child as well, love hiking and walking and I have an "awkward" laugh as well. It was really relatable. ;-) Greeting from Belgium! ;-)

[@mari.johnson]

Hi Simon! Thanks for the compliments and thanks for watching!

[@Bewen_]

Are you still at Australia ?

[@mari.johnson]

Yep! I'll be here for a couple more months or so.

[@jaymckay4086]

you seem really cool! keep up the travel videos

[@mari.johnson]

Thanks Jay!

[@dreambigprabhu5987]

Hi Mary..help me how to edit videos. what software to do edit videos

[@stevecook9517]

At the 8:41mark was that a UFO?

[@recycledhips]

I'm new to your channel and I'm curious, what job do you have now? I'm graduating with my undergrad in a year and quite frankly have no clue how to travel while having steady income. I'm really inspired by your channel and I'd love to know how you're able to travel (in terms of money/job)!

[@melaniethenomad8490]

It was so funny seeing you get caught! lol. I react exactly the same way when people catch me talking to my camera, lol. Wondering what camera you use when walking around talking to the camera?

[@mari.johnson]

+Melanie The Nomad haha yeah so awkward! I use the Canon G7X

[@saintinc]

I need you to help me rearrange the furniture in my room!

[@WanderNiki]

Wow I relate sooo much !! The library thing, totally me. The not morning person but absolutely no complaint for an early flight or bus or whatever travel thingy, totally me. Slow walkers hahahaa can't stand it !! Experiences rather than things ? YES

[@mari.johnson]

Aww yes! So many similarities!! :)

[@JMMT7022801]

OMG! I'm loving the thumbnail pic. 😍

[@dtstuff9]

Are there no cafes or a library that has free wifi you can use? Or do I just take that for granted living in a big city.

[@mari.johnson]

+dtstuff9 There's only one burger place I've found in town that has wifi! I so so wish there was a library. Seriously, I've realized how much I took wifi for granted in the US!

[@RGC198]

Wow! Excellent video, Mari. Just a bit about me. I live in Melbourne Australia, but I was born in Sydney. I am also part New Zealander, as my mum was born in Palmerston North New Zealand. All the best, Robert.

[@A-Oreal]

Good job! Pad thai is great! I love the outdoors too and boat is not bad either. This is nice..to know a bit of your background! 23 hours to load? Wow! Good jod and happy travel Capitan!✈👌😎

[@mari.johnson]

Thanks for watching!!

[@A-Oreal]

+Mari Johnson I actually woke up this morning and asked myself, "does Mari or the others that I follow have travel vlogs this AM?" I guess I am sort of "into" travel vlogs, and yours is one of them. No pressure though because your connectivity in that place isn't very user friendly.

[@mari.johnson]

Aw sorry, yeah I'm working a ton here and lack of Internet makes it hard!!

[@A-Oreal]

Mari Johnson No worries at all 😊😝

[@HausvonFloof]

I looooove this! Now I want to make one too

[@mari.johnson]

Do it!

[@TheGnusti]

Mari is really popular name here in Finland!

[@majki32111]

You are Awesome ,I love you !

[@crappytoe]

seriously, your awkwardly laugh make you very approachable. i have a friend like that and she is AWESOME.

[@mari.johnson]

Haha I'd love to meet her!

[@somedudeonyoutoob]

are you from san francisco?

[@amandaishii8460]

Yay, hapa pride!!

[@yeuemxuatdoi]

I was a strict fruitarian for 5 months, didn't even drink any water--but by the end of my trip to Central America, I came across this restaurant serving beef soup (forgot the name). It had cassava, corn, taro, and of course beef, all those things that I loved, especially non-U.S beef. Its meat was flavorful, and I said to myself, "F it, the cow is already dead, I might as well eat it." And I did. It was good. Now, I eat meat about once or twice a week. I still consume mostly fruits (80%r), even though they fruits were picked way before maturity. Can't wait to fly to Asia this May where fruits are abundant. I'll see if I'll return to be a fruitarian again.

[@helloitsme7919]

Wow I've just come across your profile - you're so damn cool! I'm planning my first backpacking trip in February (Europe for 5 months) but it looks like after being with my bf for over 3 years I'll be single, so I watched your other video bevause I was feeling so down and confused about whether to travel right after a breakup and your video has just inspired me and I feel more excited now rather than sad and anxious, so thank you :) would be so cool if you were in Europe! Keep finding so many cool travel vlogging youtubers that I wish I could meet on my travels ! 😂

[@mari.johnson]

Wow, that's so exciting! Don't worry, you're going to meet so many cool people out there! Have fun!!

[@syta79]

Like your vlogs of you in Laos!! Represent lol

[@filibusterfirework74]

We are so similar, its a little bit scary. How many of the places that you show in your vlogs do you travel alone? How long did you save before you started to travel?

[@inferiousd8408]

Mari, can you make a live stream where you answer the questions of your viewers? that would be great! Please think about it!

[@mari.johnson]

I don't know about live stream, but I'll do a Q & A video sometime!

[@crappytoe]

yay for bay area woot woot

[@mari.johnson]

Yeah!!

[@OneLifeZ4]

The best PhadThai is when I cook for you just saying lol ok Captain. Where about in Seattle you use to live?

[@mohdidham5773]

nice video Mari, keep it up. you look gorgeous and i think you looks like an actress.

[@mari.johnson]

That's so sweet, thank you!

[@frappuccino68]

Yay for tap dance and flute (NOT recorder)!

[@trangnguyen-tj7nb]

the fact that you are half japanese !! mind blown !!! have u ever been to Japan? keep it up with your great videos:)

[@mari.johnson]

+trang nguyen I have been to Japan! But I would love to go back!

[@bradpitt337]

I love your videos. Watching you in your videos I must admit I like you very much as you remind me of a bestfriend of mine at work. You have that positive attitude that reminds me so much of her. I got even more excited when I learned that you live in New Zealand since that country has always been my dream country to live and work in aside from my own which is the Philippines. Am your fan and I wish I'd meet you someday.

[@mari.johnson]

I hope you can make it to New Zealand! All the best to you! 😊

[@siggyrockstv]

Hey girly! Love the video. I have the same issue with my right and left Lol I always have the team that I coach looking at me confused because I tell them to play on the right side of the field but I meant to say left Lol 🙈🙈🙈

[@mari.johnson]

Haha yeah it's the worst! I can't imagine having to coach people! My friends just know that usually I mean the opposite. Haha

[@TimsMissions]

[@KIWISUPERMAN]

Interesting and awesome! thank you :)

[@sinokhmervideos]

[@Timberjackk]

You have the most interesting life!

[@014aircanada]

Hey. Mari is a common name here in Norway....

[@hellospacemonkey]

We have so so much in common ❤️❤️

[@Loripas1]

[@mari.johnson]

Glad I'm not alone with that! Hi to you and your daughter! Sounds like you have a great family! xo
