For years I’ve heard good things about Santa Cruz California. But I haven’t been to this area since I was a kid.
My verdict is not to visit Santa Cruz. It’s a beautiful, safe, extremely friendly and peaceful city. If you visit, you won’t want to ever leave.
Today I parked at The Hook, a popular surfing spot in the Please Point neighborhood.
After making a quick breakfast burrito, I got out for a walk along the cliffs overlooking the ocean.
Santa Cruz is a very walkable city. So I did a lot of walking. On the walk, I stopped in a Cat & Cloud Coffee and ordered a drip coffee and a flat white. Both were excellent as was the service.
Later in the day I walked down to Capitola Beach as the sun was setting. And I couldn’t help gushing over how amazing this city is.
Don’t visit Santa. You will be smitten and won’t ever want to leave.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

Thank you. I haven’t heard of yellow bird. I haven’t gotten Trader Joe’s tortillas in forever. I always thought they were kind of tough. Capitola is a perfect place and Santa Cruz. I’ve heard San Francisco isn’t great so I’m resisting until I hope it’s better. I lived there and in Marin and one of my kids went to school in the city and my oldest was born there. My heart really get left there and I don’t want to cry. I just want a safe Bay to Breakers to run again. I think the tortillas I get are Guerrero. I wanted to double check but I’m out. They’re very sturdy but soft..not organic but really great. I crisp up the corn ones but the roll nicely too.

I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, I’ve lived in Capitola my whole life, and as most kids I took it for granted. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that Santa Cruz is an incredibly special place and every time I leave, wether it’s for a day or for months, I’m always reminded of how beautiful this place is and how lucky I was to able to grow up here, and it’s been pretty heartbreaking to see parts of the town that have been there since I was a kid get destroyed due to the recent weather.

Do you remember 1989 when the big earthquake hit Santa Cruz? What a mess that was. It struck just before the World Series was to begin. The old coffeehouse everyone loved to go to collapsed. Freeways collapsed and there was aftershocks for months, making it hard to rest. Our nerves were on end.

Yay!! Santa Cruz...where I've ALWAYS lived except for a year here and there. Now, you have a new subscriber, follower, and fan! You hit the nail right on the head with the title, too! 'Don't visit Santa Cruz,' because the town is like a magnet that holds you here, and always brings you back when you try to leave! Biggest downfall is you basically have to live in poverty with the rent/home prices--even with a moderate income. I'm a teacher, my wife a nurse, and we have 5 kids, so most of our money gets flushed away with rent/utilities...$4000 to $5000 a month! 😮😢 But, I guess that's the price you pay to live in paradise! Thank you for the video, and I look forward to following your travels! Best, Jamin

My friend lived there all his life and his daughter just got a job as a masters degree nurse at Dominican making $80/hr. When she was born in the 90's her bought a rental home in her name as a baby, locked in the tax rate till she dies. I bet 2/3 of people in Santa Cruz have been there 40 yrs or more or have house passed down to them

I tried the Yellowbird Serrano for the first time recently and now I'm a fan. Much appreciated tip. Your comment on cooking pasta was also interesting. Ethan Chlebowski's cooking channel recently covered this topic too. He found that you can start with pasta in a cold pot with just enough water to cover, then heat to boiling. The cooking process for pasta starts around 180 deg F so roughly time it from that point using the box instructions, Add a little water if necessary along the way. When finished, you have cooked pasta in just the right volume of starchy water, which makes a base for any sauce. That's my new standard approach as well. One pot meal, less water waste, life is good.

Haha. As a young pup in1973, hitchhiking down the coast during a year off from college, I drank too many beers an made an inappropriate comment to a woman. She reached into her purse and produced a revolver. For the first and last time in my life I had a gun pointed at me! Thankfully, my friends intervened, and their words to her, combined with my extremely profuse apology made the difference, and her better sense saved the day. I'm still alive at 71 years of age. Good video. I have enjoyed Santa Cruz many times as a sober adult.

I grew up in San Jose (Los Gatos specifically) in the 70's/80's and completely fell in love with Santa Cruz. I have traveled all over the states and currently reside in Florida. I would love to own property there to spend summers at, but it's out of my price range. I try to go back to visit every other year as it's my zen place and anyone I have ever taken there falls in love with it too. There's just something about the Cruz. 🙂

U will be sad if u visit SantaCruz -now - I am 74 ..like u I lived in SC ..50`s 60` and left before 90`s ..Waw just there June 2024 -It was awful ..from the black burned Redwoods-where i once worked in Big Basin ..to very crowded roads And NO parking anywhere .NOW-The WindMill restaurant was the best place to hang out & had parking. The only other place that is the same * nice is 4 mile beach //other cool places are over crowded or gone ..Staff of life natural foods ..use to be great ..no more -dirty now ...Most all my favor places are awful or gone ..

@@john-js7dbI would have to say living in Pleasure point that walking along East cliff drive is beautiful and not to be missed. Pleasure Pizza (by the slice), a couple of blocks from the beach, is a fun walk . East side is still charming.❤

What a great video. So many memories for me in every inch you walked and in every surf spot there. I live in Mexico now so I don't get back often. Thanks for taking the time to take us there.

They have low income apartments that have a 10 year waiting list. I found that out from a friend when I asked about the apartments by his house on the beach. It’s one of my favorite places to visit.

What a pretty area! And dog friendly and coffee abundant?! Now I want to visit. I have never been there, but I HAVE been to Monterey and Carmel on my honeymoon many years ago. So lovely down there. I'm so glad you are enjoying your time in that awesome little place. 😊

I've live here all my very long life and except for the 1983 storm that stalled over Santa Cruz, I've never experienced anything like what's happening now. There is #12 atmospheric river coming this Tuesday and hopefully it doesn't finish us off!

Yes I love the strong surfs too! I live in Washington State and the best times on salt water are stormy. After storms beach combing is an adventure! Piles of kelp ropes, you name it odd things. Such fun!

I used to live a few blocks away from.the hook. It was such an amazing chapter in my life. People are so great and the community vibe in that area (pleasure point) is so enjoyable. Hard to find good work in sc county vs the bay area but if you can get bills paid its such a great place to live.

Hi Scott. I have (nearly) always lived near the coast and love the sound of waves lapping or , better still, crashing in on the beach or some rocks. I completely get it. Am really enjoying your channel. Best of luck to you. From Dublin Irelan🇮🇪
