[@avajules]

Elena this is AMAZING OMG

[@ElenaTaber]

ah thank you ava :')

[@cristinadiary]

Omg Ava 🤩🤩

[@kggroom]

Right!👏🏽

[@angeliee]

HI AVA

[@krystalm_]

The two best youtubers!

[@zolanesbitt5447]

She’s really out her living the dream of a van life youtuber... so jealous and happy for her

[@heidiscott4363]

How's wiving in a wan smting2 Doo auwl a sudy...cuz I did it in 1 w/ a dwarf once?

[@vuurstuurder]

was about to comment the exact same thing, wish I could do this right now

[@Katechap20]

1) THE VIDEOGRAPHY IS AMAZING 2) omg this my absolute dream 3) FLETCHER WOOOOO 4) literally obsessed with you okay that’s all

[@angeliee]

ahh we love to see fletcher making an appearance

[@fletcherberryman]

same

[@angeliee]

@@fletcherberryman omg hi!!! you made my day

[@rebeccashan2]

I love that whether you're on the east or west coast you're always living so happily

[@angeliee]

this was straight up a short film

[@heidiscott4363]

Well that wuz dis dwarf fro Ga. I think had a green econoline van .

[@caricakes]

Literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor after this. The footage is STUNNING! You really outdid yourself with this one, omg!

[@untitled1464]

this made me super emotional because literally a year ago my parents, younger sister, and i did this exact same roadtrip except we started in canada bc we spent my sister's 19th birthday there. then we went all the way to san diego county where we stayed with relatives. so when fletcher started talking about PCH and the Lost Coast etc i nodded like "yup dude" I remember being in the forest super quiet and thinking about ancestors who protected the land and then shift it back to present-day people quietly walking around being mindful of the land they were walking on. I had a lot of anxiety ngl bc my dad drove LEGIT on the coast (you could have literally fallen off if you swerved just a tiny bit) (closer to SB county) for about 2 hours and im terrified of heights but overall it was a beautiful trip and we stayed in a bunch of cute towns within the forest and near it as well! i guess this video made me realize how much has changed in just a year given the pandemic and how thankful I am to have a loving family that values traveling...and someday I'll do this same roadtrip with my own family haha :)

[@montypop]

This gave me hella good vibes...and it's exactly how my Mum lived in the 70's, but on the coast of British Columbia!

[@ElenaTaber]

No way!!! Coolest mom ever

[@montypop]

@@ElenaTaber Yeah, how she gave birth to an anxious, city dwelling librarian is beyond me.

[@victoriamayrose5219]

@@montypop you sound awesome! we need more librarians

[@untitled1464]

@@montypop you sound super cool!!! and omg relate, my dad grew up along the West Coast. he's from LA and we did this same roadtrip exactly a year ago but we started in British Columbia !!! we love Canada so much haha and i also don't understand how my free-spirited hippie parents gave birth to an anxiety-ridden bookworm LA city gal like myself lol. I literally hid in the Vancouver Public Library for a good few hours because I was so happy being near so many books😂

[@baileysadler5212]

When covid is controlled and the border is open and life is some what safe and normal again. I think you'd absolutely love Vancouver Island and or eastern Newfoundland. The lost coast looks like a combination of them both

[@SamElle]

OMG THIS WAS SO SCENIC AND WELL FILMED!! i don't know if I can survive the van life

[@AllySheehan]

duuuuuude west coast elena is thriiiiivinggg i miss van life

[@smeredithmancuso]

This might be the best video you've done! Just wow!! The drone shots are EPIC!

[@Hinshawlizzy]

This was so freaking well produced and shot! Truly inspiring me to make my videos this good some day 👌

[@darshleenkaur5425]

she was right y'all. the last 30 seconds.. MIND BLOW

[@wearilive]

500k here you come !!!

[@_lorie]

This is probably my favorite video of yours. I love watching all your travel vlogs but this is just so unreal and gorgeous. The drone just added a bit more to your videos.

[@thelittlethingsbyeva]

I love following you along on your adventures! 😊💛

[@luisromanlegionaire]

I hope he did not LOSE the opportunity to propose to you on that LOST COAST, its the kind of place that should inspire a couple to lose themselves in their love for each other. You are a diamond in the rough Elena. Wishing you happiness in the years ahead.

[@tajashania]

[@IascMOR]

Wow wow wow! This was amazing, thanks for sharing Elena!

[@ElenaTaber]

Ah so glad you enjoyed!

[@patd4u2]

You two look like your having a lot of fun, Renting the van was a great idea, gives you an idea what you need to live in it, Camper vans are easy to drive and can get into places bigger RV's cant get into. If you think camper vans are for you check out the Winnebago Travato. They have everything you need to live in them comfortably, shower, tv, micro, stove, AC you name it. I have the K floor plan and I love it, my house is going on the market on Monday and I will be living in it for a while. I was born on Camp Pendleton and grew up in Oceanside until I went into the Air Force back in 1976, I went back and drove around the old neighbor hoods I used to live in a few years ago, the place has changed a lot since then. Good luck to the both of you on your adventures.

[@jadehoughton6295]
