[@vosk6481]

The Endless Adventure done, you should’ve told us about this for week 1 too we could’ve voted for u guys 3x

[@dtkristy1]

Great videos. I’m a new subscriber and am hooked! You will love New Zealand. As for a suggestion, maybe check out Okinawa, Japan. A hidden gem, kind if like the Hawaii of Japan. I lived there while in the Air Force many years ago and would love to return. Happy travels!

[@IndigoTraveller]

Looking forward to your New Zealand videos, enjoy!

[@catrinajamello2103]

Hi guys, love your joyful style of traveling! From my heart to yours, please consider bringing travel gear like metal straws & cups to protect the beautiful places you go ❤️

[@smtpgirl]

Kona BEST COFFEE EVER. At a former workplace, we had a Hawaii office and I was sent Kona every other month. KONA

[@traveller10]

In NZ, go to Milford Sound on the south island. Most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. In Te Anau on the way there (or back) you can take a boat trip over the lake to a glow worm cave.

[@markrhodes9632]

Yeah I second Milford. I live in the south island so I'm biased but it is lovely. It's a good time of year to visit as the weather is more settled. Check out Christchurch too!

[@teddygingerbear1647]

Your rather noisy flight made me laugh as I just flew east coast to SFO with four crying babies and four barking dogs. Now they were not barking the whole flight but a toddler was watching an animated kids video on an iPad without headphones believe isle of dogs and every time a dog barked in the video the onboard dogs also barked....hilarious! Love your videos! You both do an excellent job describing your realtime experiences. Hope you get a chance to spend a week or two in Kauai, it's my favorite HI island.

[@sysrqstoic]

Hilarious indeed

[@miforg]

You must go to Puglia in Italy. The most beautiful and most affordable part of Italy. I am Italian so I can confirm that. In Puglia you can visit Trani with its Medieval Cathedral on the sea, Alberobello and its Trulli, Polignano a Mare and finally Lecce, called the Florence of the South. Enjoy!

[@WoLFTERNOPS]

in italy must go to south tyrol (alpe de siusi) . and portofino is a great destination to more beaches and stuff !

[@nadiawitton4371]

I'm excited you're coming down under to visit my country, Australia! If you're coming to Adelaide in South Australia I'd be happy to show you around. Happy travels 😊

[@smthbear808]

Aloha mai kakou! Welcome to Hawai'i and to the Big Island. Too bad your not coming to Honolulu, Oahu...I'd do shave ice , plate lunch and a poke bowl with you....but you can get it there on Hawai'i island too. Have lots of fun, have lots of Kona coffee and the island fruits...papaya, breadfruit, dragonfruit, avocado etc.....aloha no! Reno

[@Theendlessadventure]

We actually did come to Honolulu last week - we loved it! Those videos will be out soon and we actually try quite a few of your recommendations. 👌Maybe next time we're though we can pick your brain 😊

[@OPC14]

I live on big island! I recommend for food places you check out daylight mind for dinner and it switches to Kiawe smokehouse. Also Umekes, Tex malasadas, Nori’s! So many good spots. Hope you enjoy the island!!

[@enna7496]

In Italy I would go to San Gimignano in Tuscany. It is such a beautiful place in the middle of the countryside.

[@andyandersson]

Agreed! A bit touristy but still well worth a visit. If you want a smaller more chill hill town you can try Monteriggioni. And in general driving in that area of Tuscany is awesome. If you want a bit more mountains you can drive up in the mountains north of lucca and go to Ponte della Maddalena, also called the devils bridge. Have a great 2019 guys!

[@shlibbermacshlibber4106]

Tuscany 💕

[@SetCCC]

For Japan I definitely recommend hiking Mt. Fuji. You're dropped off part ray up then hike up. They have little houses on the way for food, drink and yes you can get oxygen cans to help. You sleep in one of them for a few hours then hike up at around 3am to arrive at top at sunrise. You dont need to be a mountain climber to do it. You'll love it!! Great experience, fun way to meet people and the views are amazing

[@amystaahs2118]

I am so excited for your current and upcoming list of places that you're visiting because they're all places that my husband and I plan on visiting in the near future (big island, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan) so it's very exciting for me!!!

[@theoystertales2256]

We are so stoked to hear you are coming to Australia! Can't wait to see whereabouts you head, hopefully we bump into you on your travels!

[@magicandmaitais]

I stopped at that little stand where you guys got the smoothies - the owner was super nice and went over all the fruits with me that I wasn’t familiar with. I can’t wait to go back in a few weeks! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@WorldAhoy]

I came across your video while looking for travel inspiration during our time in Hawaii next month and just wanted to say Hi :)

[@kimbo1601]

In Sydney, beyond the classic Bondi Beach visit I'd recommend doing the Spit to Manly walk too. Explore Newtown and surrounding neighbourhoods for cafes/breweries. If you head out to the Blue Mountains avoid Katoomba and head to Blackheath for hikes. Tasmania is excellent too, Cradle Mountain day hike is great as is Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park Melbourne is great for coffee/cafes - I like the Fitzroy area Head north of Cairns for rainforests, waterfalls etc

[@RiggingDoctor]

You guys should check out the Azores! We sailed to them from the states and they are gorgeous!!

[@ladymc2021]

Awesome guys! So sorry to hear the plane ride was so uncomfortable and I have been on those kind of flights - sooo horrible. My Dad also lives in Hawaii part time, so this is exciting seeing you guys there :)

[@wycliffeb]

my wife and I went to Vietnam and Cambodia in Nov 2018, it was truly awesome. It doesnt matter whether you are in the cities or the country it's all freakin incredible.

[@anitachiquita70]

I'm a newcomer to your site and love you guys already. Went on my honeymoon to Hawaii in 1985 and loved it. Have fun.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Welcome to the adventure! So glad to have you along :)

[@mhollick63]

For Italy, a hidden gem is the town of Ravenna. It was the capital of the Ostrogothic Roman Empire and has several churches full of 5th century art that wasn't destroyed during the iconoclast movement. And Dante is buried there. Of course Venice. Padua and the Scrovegni Chapel with Giotto's murals. You really can't go wrong in Italy.

[@lawrencebautista1]

The capital of the Western Roman Empire until its collapse, while Rome was sacked twice by the Visigoths and Vandals.

[@im_so_bored3896]

yup, that's my IG caption every time (@monathedragonfly if you like Italy) i'm there! It's such an amazing country!

[@hannahct123]

OMG so excited for you guys to come to Aus!!!

[@FreedomStrider]

I (sam) went to Hawaii ages ago, 2005 I think, and they had a constant problem with keeping the ring road open since the volcano kept spewing lava onto it!!

[@sahpem4425]

There’s this underground city in Australia that I think is so super interesting! It’s definitely rural and I think worth checking out. They also have a hotel room. :)

[@k.vspeedy3736]

Coober Pedy

[@conniecrawford5231]

Aloha from my beautiful islands! Please teach your fans to respect our reefs and keep Hawaii lovely. Don't stand on living coral- it kills it and drives away the fish that need it to live.

[@lindacreson3630]

Hawaii! Woo Hoo!! I can't wait to see. So jealous! Keep up the great work. It does not go unrecognized!!

[@jazsabeto7305]

Go to the Mornington peninsula in melbourne, vic (australia) we have thermal hot springs, cute cafes and beautiful beaches!!

[@Ram-sc6ev]

the most amazing channel ever.. feels like I'm traveling all over the world !!! hats off guys !!!

[@katherinesollis4079]

you should come to Western Australia and see Rottnest Island - the only place you can see a Quoka in its natural environment.

[@chrisnapierutube]

My suggestion, when you go to Italy go to Verona. It's great for a short visit.

[@SweetHopeCookies]

My wife and I spent a month in Italy staying in apartments in Rome, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. I highly recommend staying near the village of Montacino in Tuscany. It’s quite small but centrally located for day trips in the car to some incredible locations like Orvieto, Sienna, Assisi, and a must see, Cività di Bagnoregio. The town of Buonconvento is only a couple miles from Montacino and has a train station which takes about 2-4 hours to reach Florence. As to the coast, Atrani, just outside Amalfi is a quiet corner of the Italian coast and along with using the local bus to head in one direction to Naples and in another to Serrento, there’s a FANTASTIC trail you can walk from Atrani right up the side of the hill to Ravello, walking through vineyards and lemon groves, with panaromic views of the coast to feast on every time you stop to catch your breath.

[@anthonymilner1851]

When in Italy try San Gimignano, Lucca, Montecatini Terme - (Verdi had rooms in a Hotel we used there} and Siena is less crowded than Florence but just as nice. If in the north the area around Trento is also nice. Enjoy your adventures !! Cheers

[@katfran492]

I cannot wait for your New Zealand vlogs! I’ll be there in February & March. If you get a chance you should check out Okinawa Japan. I live there for six months and absolutely loved it. Also you may want to go to Guam!

[@HelenCBakes]

In Italy I recommend the Amalfi coast area, particularly Sorrento and the island of Capri, which is a short boat ride away from sorrento. The best area of capri is Anacapri where you can head up on a chairlift and see the most magical views 😍

[@burcuibis9793]

I can't wait to see New Zealand, Australia and Italy vlogs. Great start to 2019. I'm looking forward to seeing those three.

[@emilyb9406]

You should go to Viterbo, Italy!!! It is about 1.5 hours from Rome but it is pure Italian culture without an touristy bits! There is so much history here, especially with the wall surrounding the inner part of the city! Civita di Bagnoregio is also near by, which is the “Town that is dying” (it’s eroding away).

[@laurajeanrobins6995]

Loved the vlog, fairly new to you guys and love all the food and drink chat! If you travel Vietnam, two places not everyone goes but totally worth it on the way up and down are dalat and phong nha. Definitely do all the norms to ho chi Minh, hoi an, absolutely sapa or somewhere in the mountains, I still love Cat Ba island too athough its changed a lot. xoxox

[@AshKhagram]

If your going near Italy then Dubrovnik is beautiful and Malta. Then work your way to Dartmoor in the UK.

[@sidneyh11]

I agree Malta is beautiful and the people are so friendly xx

[@janebaker966]

How excellent that you're going to catch the Cherry Blossom in Japan. I'll be watching out for that one. I do so hope you make it there at just the right time.

[@bradleycameron4732]

The coffee shack!!!! That’s my favorite spot!!! Omg I’m crying😭❤️ I’m so glad you guys went there

[@sarahbell3911]

Love your videos! My fiance and I have been watching for a long time but this is the first time commenting. We wanted to recommend going to South Korea. We lived there for a year and it was awesome. Cheap food, beautiful sites and very accessible to non-Korean speakers. If you go, the palaces are must see! The food is some of the best I have ever had! Thanks for the awesome videos. Good luck in 2019!

[@marktonylindo4627]

VERY sensible speed limit , coffee thats my jam , epic vid HIPA HIPA 😎🇬🇧

[@brandonhardyy]

Hello Adventurers! I found your channel through Ashley and Josh sometime last year and have been enjoying catching up on your travels. My wife and I spent a few weeks in Italy last year and I can't recommend it enough. It's perhaps not the cheapest destination, but there's a reason so many people love it. We spent the majority of our time exploring Sicily. My personal favorites were Ortegia Island (adjacent to Siracusa) and Cefalu. Such adorable small towns with amazing food and incredible people. Obviously we enjoyed the bigger cities, too, but there's something so magical about the tiny towns. So much history, and culture, and LIFE. Y'know? Safe travels!

[@abrushwithtravel]

Southern Italy: I lived in Southern Italy for 4 years. You can work your way down to Bari, Ostuni, Alberobello & end at Brindisi. Then take an overnight ferry or speed boat to Corfu, Greece. I enjoy your videos, safe travels.

[@Theendlessadventure]

That sounds like a magical route! Thanks so much for the suggestions 🙌

[@OhioticketswithRobert]

For Italy try Gubbio and Spoleto locations used for a wonderful show called Don Matteo. Watching the show is making me think about a trip to Italy.

[@henrywood-collins2716]

If you go to Italy you have to go down to see Malta as it is only a short distance away

[@katajha831]

That is one place i have been quite a few times. My favorite is Kauai. Ive only been to Kona on the big Island. I hope you guys had a blast.

[@bobbyhood101]

Hawaii is the most beautiful island in the United states and the amount of different cultures you can experience in one place it's hard to beat!love to you both from Tennessee ps don't forget your sunscreen!

[@jodieannethomson]

Super excited to see woohoo Italy sounds amazing 🙌🏻

[@joanrath126]

Beautiful scenery.....amazing...the culture an the people...did they serve you spam?

[@BestOf604]

Hoi An in Vietnam is a must. You can check out Christinas in the vegetable island if you want a place to stay. We loved it there compared to all the other places in Vietnam.

[@RAINB0WCAK3]

You should go to the Amalfi coast area of Italy 😍

[@im_so_bored3896]

and ligurian coast too!

[@chrisward8323]

For your Italy journey check out Pompeii it's where a volcano erupted 2000 years ago. And they are still digging it out. You get to see a real Roman city even where people died on the spot. Check it out on line you will be fascinated.

[@emilieann87]

In Japan take a 3 hour plane ride south of Tokyo to Okinawa island. Such a wonderful island, great people, a ton of activities to do and amazing food! 100 times different than mainland Japan and not many people know about it.

[@margotlove3289]

A New Zealand 🇳🇿 must do is my home town Dunedin. Lots of great walks, wildlife and beaches. Go to the Orokanui eco sanctuary, the albatross colony and Aramoana beach. Also great place south to visit on the catlins.

[@Rippleofflove]

Come to south africa we have great places to visit

[@cindyvanes7577]

Australia and New Zealand, great! Have fun there, I loved it. Greets from Germany

[@brumsgrub8633]

Oh man, your going to Italy. Wagt till you try the food, the food there is off the scale. I've been about 6 times. Love it

[@lawt231]

Your b roll and camera work in general is absolutely fantastic. It all seems so unfiltered and genuine. It's almost like I've left the UK and travelled all these places with you 😂

[@anitariley7086]

Of course you will love my home of Australia!! New Zealand has the most awesome scenery too! But I I love Hawaii...it’s my happy place!

[@Rose-gy1pi]

Aloha from my island! Born and bred mainland-er from Tahoe, CA but have lived the past 9 years on the Big Island (and over 30 trips to visit Hawaii by the time I was 13...lots of family friends). That map you showed at 7:46 showed my town of Pahoa. and at one point my home was about 5 miles from the lava flow...we're okay though! Nice to see the Big Island featured on a travel vlog, as we're often overlooked for Oahu, Maui, and Kauai! I also lived in New Zealand for a semester during school, if you are going to the North Island you must try to see the Bay of Islands! Happy travels!

[@Theendlessadventure]

So glad you weren't affected by the eruption! We definitely need to come back and spend more time on the Big Island - it was absolutely beautiful! And we're actually headed to the Bay of Island soon. 😍 Thanks for the note and recommendation!

[@Rose-gy1pi]

@@Theendlessadventure If you make it back to the Big Island and come to Hilo, check out either the restaurant Hilo Bay Cafe (great views and good food, maybe a little $$) or Conscious Culture Cafe (less spectacular views but a bit more affordable and some super healthy options.) There is also a local used bookstore called Big Island BookBuyers that is just delightful. If not the Big Island, I highly recommend Kauai too! Looking forward to your next video :D

[@Tinderchaff]

For Italy I would recommend Genoa. Yes, I know it is a city but it isn't anywhere near as busy as Rome, Venice or Florence. It is of course the capital of Liguria which is the region of Italy where the best pesto comes from. From there you can catch the train to Cinque Terre. They are five beautiful towns fairly close together right on the coast. They are very popular though.

[@sophiecm88]

Hello from New Zealand 👋. So glad that you will be visiting my beautiful country! The South Island is a must, with Queenstown, Milford sound ect. I’m in the north island and I’d suggest seeing the coromandel coast and especially visiting cathedral cove. We have so many beautiful nature walks here in NZ and all round amazing scenery. Whangamata has beautiful beaches, as well as the bay of Plenty, especially Mount Maunganui. Rotorua is a great place to go if you want the cultural experience with our Māori culture. Can be a bit pricey in terms of catering to tourist’s (tourist prices), but it will probably be the closest you’ll see of the culture as you need to be officially welcomed onto a marae to visit one. If you have any questions I’m happy to help you as best as I can. Can’t wait to see what you guys get up to.

[@homerchap]

On of my wife and I’s favorite cities we’ve visited is Lucca, Italy. We’ve visited there about 4 times in the last 8 years. It is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls. It is also home to the opera composer Puccini. They have a daily concert with his music performed by locals which is a cant miss.

[@lindsaywoodford5247]

I suggest Newfoundland in June! Icebergs, whales, dolphins, seabirds and Vikings if you venture up the Great Northern Peninsula. Lots of great food and interesting little spots to check out.

[@allanmacbadger5692]

If you like espresso with cream try asking for Cafe Macchiato next time.

[@megansalvato407]

Lucca Italy. Cute walled town about an hour outside of Florence accessible by train. Get there and rent bikes and bike the walls of the city and explore the little shops! One of my favorite little day trips!! Low tourists and beautiful scenery!

[@Shaun_Garratt]

Very nice start to your 2019 travels: looking forward to seeing what else you get up to in Hawaii. Not seen many other KZbin travel channels go there. NZ and Australia should be great too.

[@shauncallander1203]

If you go to Vietnam, apart from the main cities I would highly recommend Mui Ne (theres an amazing river walk you can do and it has huge sand dunes) and go to Hue and visit the abandoned water park ✌😁

[@astrocj4219]

I've been kind of randomly watching your videos for a few weeks now and I apologize for not subscribing sooner... Lol

[@arceydear7078]

Yes you are correct the speed limits are for your safety aaaaaaaand there are blind turns. Be really careful bc when an accident does happen with a tourist it is reallllllly complicated. Also prices are really high bc a lot of goods are imported. Enjoy the coffee. Keep on vlogging.

[@caroLynaaa]

For NZ: Don't miss the Abel Tasman National Park, the Franz Josef Glacier, the Pancake Rocks near Punakaiki and as already mentioned Milford Sound! xx

[@matisspudulis8194]

Italy, go to Ischia island, it's not far from Naples. There are much less tourists and the island is amazing, try rabbit dishes. Also Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful places on earth, no doubt about it. It's touristy but so worth it.

[@stellap683]

Hawaii is incredible...enjoy!! Looking forward to more Hawaii videos 👍🤩😎

[@dwalker6868]

Have fun

[@TheCurlyclub]

Vietnam, I’d recommend taking the overnight train up to the hills to Sapa. It’s like travelling back in time. Beautiful and culturally so interesting.

[@raheltd]

May I suggest you to visit Trieste in Italy? It used to be the sole harbour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and second only to Vienna as a metropolis. Now it's a lovely spot between Slovenia and Venice, with a touch of Austria which makes it a very peculiar city to check out.

[@ratticus]

Awesome that you're coming to Australia.

[@fedupnow61859]

Lago di Braies in northern Italy is phenomenal. Also Volterra in Tuscany is great.

[@user-mo6jk1gh7k]

Hey I live here on the big island and I know a really good site seeing and cliff jumping spot you guys should definitely visit Type End of the world on your GPS

[@reveenarothman-rudnicki2581]

NZ is so beautiful it will make you want to cry. Im currently in Sri Lanka and am loving it. And in Italy, you must GO TO SICILLLYYY.

[@brumsgrub8633]

Enjoying your life's. Live the dream guys, live the dream x

[@rakharamadhan7018]

you can go to Indonesia again. you can explore another island such like sumatra, java, borneo, or even sulawesi. there a lot activities here

[@user-mo6jk1gh7k]

And also you should visit Waimea a small town on the north side

[@joanrath126]

Love your hair Allison,you look like you got a trim.love the color....I've never tried konami coffee.next on my list.

[@zee2938]

Eric I love your transitions 😂 also re the spiders, wait till you get to Australia!!

[@nasha657]

So many breathtaking places in NZ....Good luck on planning your NZ trip . Suggest a stop over in Waiuku : Karioitahi Beach

[@andistuttgart9067]

In Italy try Lake Garda, biggest lake in italy, the northern part still surrounded by mountains.

[@wayned8758]

First, I just want you to know you got my vote for top travel vlog of 2019. I loved your first Hawaii video. I have never been there, but it is on my list. Too far for me to travel from New York in one trip, but I can make a stop in San Francisco for two or three days in between. Gee, what a sacrifice! Haha. Love your videos, especially of the warm places (as I sit here in NY waiting for tonight's snow storm).

[@Sue474]

In Italy I can HIGHLY recommend Riva del Garda at the north of Lake Garda. It's not only incredibly beautiful and you can get boats that criss-cross the lake to visit the various towns around the lake (which is 32 miles long!) but it's very close to the amazing scenery of the dolomites. It's also close to Verona, which is stunning.

[@kymiller555]

New subscriber. Love your videos. So far my favorite is when you guys went on the royal Caribbean symphony of the seas

[@versaillesth]

Hey guys! Big up love and respect from India...I just came across your channel on Sat night and binged on it for the entire Sun...Awesome stuff! I've lived in the UK for a couple of years so it was nice to see y'all visit places there. When are y'all coming to India? Make sure you have at least a month's vacation...

[@michelletoth5963]

Amalfi coast in Italy would be great to see videos on. It can be pricy though.

[@criskity]

I flew from SFO to Maui last September... my first-ever visit to Hawaii, despite having lived and/or lodged in the Bay Area for decades.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Okay phew! Glad to know we weren't the only bay area residents that hadn't made the journey 😂 Hope you enjoyed it!!

[@yomo1690]

First woo hoo. Looking forward to it. Screenshot makes me wanna get a coffee first! Cool haircut mister Eric

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! I think I was a bit overdue 💇‍♂️

[@bradleycameron4732]

I loveee hawaii! Specially Kona hawaii and I go every summer!

[@lauralenau590]

I love Kona beer, as well! Our little local liquor store keeps it in stock, so we're lucky. My favorites Wailua Wheat and Big Wave. When we visited Kauai, we went to the Koloa Rum company for a tour and taste... Y'all... Their rums are AMAZING! At the time, they weren't importing them, and we weren't able to bring any home in the small bags we brought with us, but a few months later we found one at our liquor store! It was a fun surprise lol Also, I realize this past makes me sound like a drunk, but that's very much not true lol

[@annek1226]

Happy Birthday girl! Enjoy!
