Congratulations Alyssa and Damon on this next chapter in your life. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. 😊

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Aww thank you!!

[@wandasays5438]

For all of you wondering why 2 apartments, I speculate that it is a religious reason. It's nice to see that with young people. Congrats!

[@mauricemoton1069]

It is for religious reasons. She has a video on it.

[@phyliciajoykloes]

Congratulations Alyssa!!! 🎉 Woohoo, y'all did it: a long drive and moving!

[@estelam4943]

Congrats on your new apartments, So nice that you guys will be much much closer now! Blessings 🙏🏼

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Thank you so much!!

[@poggs9500]

Good to have you back,just wondering on why you have the 2 apartments & how the long commute would be? But happy for you all the same

[@nanimoku2550]

Welcome to Texas! I’ve been here for decades and still struggle with the heat. Texas has given us opportunities and friendships I would not trade for anything and I hope the same for y’all.

[@alittlebitoflyss]

That is so encouraging and exactly what we were looking for when we moved. Thank you!

[@gritgrace2134]

Welcome to Austin!!! Just started following you. I raised my 28-year-old right here in Austin Texas. I’m sure you’re going to love it. It’ll start to cool down late Sep typically.

[@christinas448]

As a former PNWesrerner living in Austin. I love it!!! The sunshine, food, people, and plethora of things to do. I do miss the scenery though! My boyfriend will be making the move from Seattle to Austin next year. He loves visiting!

[@alittlebitoflyss]

I love it! That’s so fun! How funny is it that we both move from Seattle to Austin! lol

[@xindigochildx]

Congratulations 🎉 so happy for you!

[@kristygunterman]

I’m confused on why you got 2 different apartments I thought you were moving in together

[@HeartOfTravelling]

Congratulations on your move, you guys! I was really playing and guessing where you’d end up to and I was surprised to see Austin! Loved that city! I also enjoyed the road trip, Coming myself from italy where everything is tiny, I looooveed to see glimpses of those wide roads and endless highways! 🛣️ Cheers to you both and enjoy this new era!

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Yeah it was so fun to see so many different terrains and open roads. Thank you so much!

[@Frans42]

Thats one heck of a drive! I do hope rental market stays affordable for you in Austin. Over in Dalles prices are going up a lot. It’s definitely a change from Seattle but what made you want to go to Austin? It’s a long commute, your airline doesn’t happen to have a base in Texas? As for unpacking, do one box a day once you have the essentials out. Eventually you’ll see the floor again 🎉😊

[@appleannie41k83]

Welcome to Texas, you are going to love it here!

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Thank you! We think so too!!

[@RyanInWA]

Your decision to have separate apartments is your own business and no one else's.

[@The_Dudester]

1) Glad to see someone leave Seattle. The Cascadia Subduction Zone scares the living daylights out of me. 2) 12:59 Alyssa-it is not pronounced "loo bach", it is pronounced Lub (like duck) buck.

[@danielleayde2330]

My cousin lives in Austin and loves it. I just moved myself as well. I hope you enjoy Austin.

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Did you move to Austin or somewhere different? 😁

[@pauljackson2024]

Oh wow I bet you both were exhausted after that very long drive, but it was worth it to get to your new home

[@alittlebitoflyss]

It sure was!

[@Gaucho97]

Welcome to Austin!

[@stephanielynch7195]

congrats! I am also confused on why the separate apartments?

[@Nienkexplores]

Really happy for you guys!! Really inspiring to see that you both got seperate apartments!! GREAT VLOG!! Also funny side note, if I were to get into the car from Amsterdam I'd be in the south of Portual, which is a 24 hour drive exactly, crazy difference!!

[@alittlebitoflyss]

That is so wild! Haha I love it though! And thank you for the encouraging words 🫶🏼

[@Chelsea_Rene]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congrats on the move and getting a new place! Happy for the both of u. So now u will be a commuter?

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Yes I will😬

Are you commuting to Seattle for your job? I'm thoroughly confused 😵‍💫

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Yes commuting to Seattle from Austin!

[@cianomalley7049]

@@alittlebitoflyss that must be a long journey.

[@benjaminjoseph8487]

Congrats on the move to Texas. So are you going to still be based in Seattle or did you move base as well. So what made you choose Austin out of the places you could move. It must be such a culture shock for Damon moving from Hawaii to Texas.

[@alittlebitoflyss]

I will still be based in Seattle yes! And Damon actually was the one who picked Texas and he’s absolutely loving it so far! He’s already used to the heat and humidity and there is so many opportunities in Texas that he didn’t have on the island so I’m excited to see him thrive here 🫶🏼

[@benjaminjoseph8487]

@@alittlebitoflyss wow that’s going to be one heck of a commute. What would you do for standby days.

That's so much gas that's insane

Will you be based out of The Dallas Fort Worth airport? Congratulations to the both of you.

[@libbyjett3471]

She’ll still be based in Seattle

[@cianomalley7049]

@@libbyjett3471 couldn’t she transfer to a different airline? She could work for Southwest Airlines, American Airlines etc. imo this makes more sense.

[@RobertHansenRob]

Wow. Such a long journey. Not knowing usa to well, what made you move to Austin? Do you have family there? Congratulations on the move though!

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Thanks Robert! We don’t have any family out here but just wanted a change of pace and Austin is what came up out of nowhere honestly lol we visited about a month ago and fell in love with it and here we are!

Your boyfriend seems so nice. What is his profession if I may ask?

[@alittlebitoflyss]

He is the best and so kind! He’s in between as we get settled in Austin but he’s becoming a certified personal trainer :)

Nice Americans youtube connections ❤️🇺🇸😊 because future country Americans fitness

[@rebeccamercer2275]

Why not share a apartment it's alot cheaper

[@cindybare1]

@rebeccamercer2275 I think it’s because they are Christians and the Bible talks about certain intimacies not until marriage. I hope that’s it because I agree with that.

[@rebeccamercer2275]

@cindybare1 I agree with that!! I was just wondering and if it's for that reason then that makes me happy that we still have people like that!!

[@wendysullivan825]

I am sorry to be negative but such a waste to have two apartments, get a two bedroom if you have to. Two sets of bills, two sofas, two everything. Kind of ridiculous, plus a crashpad, yikes. . Good luck in TX, Seattle is perfection IMHO but to each their own.

[@alittlebitoflyss]

Totally valid! I’ll be addressing this in a future video of why we chose to live separate:)
