[@CarrieRad]

[@joannewinter7879]

Beautiful vlog Carrie. You and Alex are 1 with nature that is awesome friend. I love the way Lanka waits for you . Does he ever veet off into the bush or does he stay close to you 2 ? THANKS Joanne 🐾🙏🐕❤

[@daniellea1044]

When Lanka headed backwards on the bridge...deeply relatable.

[@peaches_n_streams]

It’s been amazing seeing you go from your OG Trader Joe’s haul to now going on nature walks with your husband and fur son! 🥰 it makes my heart so happy seeing you take what you’ve been telling your viewers for so long (I.e. nature, self-care, etc) and now getting to LIVE it in ever sense of the word. You’ve always lived your truth and it’s so refreshing 🥰

[@fareebug8439]

Incredible plants and trees....more nature shots, these are great!! 💕🌴🌱🌴💕

[@littlemissstilly]

This is so lovely to watch, the perfect Sunday video 🥰🥰💙

[@natashathomas3810]

Go by the river for sure!

[@CarrieRad]

We agree. 🥰

[@HeyItsMaori]

That hike looked amazing. I have been finding places near me to walk and just enjoy life.

[@JulieJordanScott]

I loved being there on your special day - how fun to be on a self care day in New Zealand! So important to take days like this. Thank you for being such a good role model!

[@kingtash9699]

such a beautiful trail! thank you for sharing this with us!

[@VinaMusser]

I love your videos...literally I wish I was there. I miss the country so much...hearing the birds, taking trail walks, it’s how I grew up and hope one day my husband will want to get out of the city and back to the country life. Lol

I really enjoy experiencing the different seasons on the other side of the world through channels based in the southern hemisphere. Since NZ's climate is so similar to San Francisco's, it helps me looks forward to the future, which is a big deal for someone with depression. It helps ground me in the present, and gives a taste as to what's to come.

[@jamiecarter2192]

Eeee such a lovely video! I loved your walk, totally would have picked the river way too! Pungas are so beautiful huh. It was so adorable when Lankie stopped to let you catch up - sweetest boy. Love watching your videos on Tuesdays when I WFH, I always watch with a coffee in the morning

[@Melissa-px9jq]

I've been really enjoying your videos in NZ, but I would also love to see more about your caravan and caravan life!

[@cutiizzy]

This vlog is just perfection ❤️ wholesome, peaceful, full of nature, just gorgeous 😊

[@shaundyer1988]

Been watching your videos for a while. I'm a Kiwi who has lived in Japan since 1984. I lived in the Turangi area from 1972 to 1978 and I'm pretty sure that the swing bridge that Lanka was not happy about crossing is the is the Major Jones bridge a little up-river from the house of our family doctor at that time (on Kokopu Street). My wife and I will be flying back to Auckland to live in NZ in mid June, and depending where we are placed for isolation, we may travel down to Christchurch, our final destination, by a rental campervan passing through Turangi on the way. As in the way you both semi-isolated in Taupo, we don't want to go direct to my parents' place in Canterbury (they are both in their late 70's early 80's) just in case we find that we are infected with COVID after leaving managed isolation, and maybe travelling down from the North Island would be a way to deal with that, and give us some time to wind down after our move.

[@BalancedwithAlex]

Getting out into nature is something that is so healing for me especially when I'm more overwhelmed. I've spent the last week getting out hiking as much as I can in Ontario's questionable spring :)

[@Nat-ol4oq]

So beautiful! Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you for watching Natalie!! xx

[@simonelubd2]

Being an expat in NZ myself for a couple of years now and having explored some much of its mindblowing beauty, I find it so interesting how beautiful you see these trails that are just average in my opinion. Your mind will be blown once you explore the hidden gems, if you guys are up for the challenge and the adventure. To name a few in the surrounding Taupo area: go up mount tauhara, mount Urchin in the Kaimanawas, Tarawera Falls and lake to hot springs, Putaruru blue springs (this is the easiest walks with crystal clear blue water springs!!) whirinaki - just to name a few...

[@Megan7088-6]

Lanka's 🐕 coat is so soft you can tell by just looking, makes you want to snuggle in to his fur, I used doggy perfume on my dog one time, he ran around the backyard like hella crazy, then he went and rolled on the grass to try and get it off, he was letting me know "no more perfume" 🙅🏽‍♀️😁 And your walk through nature 🌴🍂 absolute bliss 👌🏽 thanks for sharing your day with us.

[@CarrieRad]

Haha so cute. Dogs are the best. Thank you for watching!!

[@martonh4601]

Hi Carrie saw your vlog come up on my subs list this morning and decided not to view it until this evening. Good decision excellent post to watch going to bed so relaxing. I have not watched Alex’s post from a couple of days ago on mental health & clarity as I think it will need some quiet time to appreciate his thoughts. The both of you are amongst my favourite KZbinrs.

[@KatieBookser]

I enjoyed this relaxing vlog so much, and now I want to go on a hike! Lanka is just the sweetest.

[@Bellenickna]

Love, love, love this video! !! I feel like im with u guys on the walk. I love lanka❣️❣️❣️

[@livingbythebeach6904]

So nice to walk with you in the nature…Fantastic !😀

[@seventwentysevenam6463]

I just found your channel and I do look forward to more nature 🍃✨🍀💐 so excited to start following you 🌻🧚🍄✨

[@kayleeroxursocks]

I like watching your videos early in the mornings when I’m sitting with my coffee and have a little time to myself. I loved this video so much. It made me want to get up and go on a walk AND go back to sleep all at the same time! So cozy and relaxing ❤️

[@BalancedwithAlex]

That sounds like the perfect morning routine! Love Carrie's videos too!

[@fraukemayer8767]

Thank you for making my end of the night much better and love the tips that you gave and can’t wait to use in my own life.

[@annajoie700]

Your videos always provide such a soothing and Zen feeling especially the New Zealand content!! 🤗👏🏼💛

[@CarrieRad]

That makes me so happy to hear. Thank you. 🦋

[@mooremindfulmoments6599]

I was wondering if you have a New Zealand home tour? I’ve seen your camper tour and it’s darling, would love to see this little temporary home:)

[@kerriewatson7098]

Hey Alex and Carrie in this video where you two are and your dog and carrie feeding the dog if you notice those rocks on the ground are Hangi stones they use to cook traditionally for hangi in the ground by Maori people if the Moon shines on the rock and glows at night that is the one you use to cook great grandmother told our family that 80years ago and also love all your videos.

[@sames4now]

Where do you purchase your lounge pants? I am always on the hunt. Great video, very calming.🤗

[@susanhammond2724]

There are so many lovely places to walk in NZ. I guess we are never far from nature here. Lanka is so gorgeous. Loving your videos.

[@montsedl8894]

We always pack cheese and crackers for hikes too :) I recently got a pair of tevas after watching one of your videos and I'm loving them!

[@msgriz56]

Bridges can be scary. Poor 🐕Great hike. So beautiful. I sure miss NZ. Thanks for the video. ❤️

[@CarrieRad]

[@heyabbyrey]

[@zyciewusatvbygosia8880]

I moved from Poland to US in 2016 also with 2 suitcases and I shipped 7 big packages with my things at least shipping from Poland was not that expensive - like it would be other way around, and I got them in one month- economy shipping. You have so cute dog. I love such vlogs from woods. I like going to woods/forests/nature too as it is so relaxing. Greetings from Boston area :)

[@NZKiwi87]

Always choose the river, if there is a choice 💚

Gorgeous video! Omg I love thumbholes!! What osprey backpack are you using for your day walks? I find sometimes my farpoint 40 is too big for just a simple hike

[@alisyaverdin1781]

Sending hugs Lanka! 🤗

[@manutdnz]

When you were having your picnic the sound of the river flowing was soo relaxing.

[@Laura.v.b]

Love this! :D seeing you enjoying NZ nature makes me so happy. Whats the walk you went on? I'm always looking for new ones and would love to do it when im next in the area!

[@neerjaaa1]

love the Tongariro river trail. You should try biking it! We did this with our 5yr old and it was great

[@CarrieRad]

We really want to bike it when our stuff gets here from America! Can’t wait.

[@aubreysiglock9]

Where did you get your hat?! Love it!

[@pamwiningar1909]

Love your hat! Where’s it from ?

[@imalwaysnumber3]

where's your zip up from? I love it!!

[@SweetHeavensSunshine]

Gorgeous!! Are there at other activities to do in NZ besides exploring nature? Ie, is it similar to Los Angeles in terms of gyms, art, food, ext.?

[@cjeppson835]

Omg Lanka crossing a bridge are my thoughts exactly on walking over bridges 😂😂😂😂

[@shell1338]

Beautiful video 💜

Thank you! :)

[@JackyWacky1]

Nice hike, specially by the river. The rays from the sun shining through the trees is called Komorebi. By the way, the salad looked delicious. 😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

It's so weird to hear you talk about fall! I know you're opposite of the US, but I always forget.

[@CarrieRad]

i know, right? It's not something you think about every day.

[@M_Ravinerakhalgot]

I would go to the river first and relax a bit and hang out then go back to follow the other side again
