For all of the questions you answered, you guys probably posed the best question of them all - why should online bullying be normalised? 🙌 You guys deserve an award for this!!
Totally agree. People need to learn to deal with their own insecurities in a more productive way. Why does tearing someone else down make anyone feel better? Makes no sense to me.
I have dropped a couple of travel bloggers and I never said a word on their channels, just unsubscribed and stopped watching them. I had wondered if I should have said anything - not meanly, just a quiet statement of the reason why I was no longer watching (in one case because I got tired of him being in drop dead gorgeous places such as national parks, and complaining he had been to better places). But I just quietly left. This video confirmed to me that I did the correct thing.
It's great to hear a viewers perspective on this! While we cannot speak for all creators, we have received many messages and emails along the lines of "I love your videos, but ____ (and insert many things they do not like lol)" and for us personally, as we are trying to create videos that showcase our authentic selves and what makes US happy, it stings a bit. While we have taken a lot of feedback and tried to get better over time, there are certain things we cannot change without changing who we are. So if someone doesn't like the words we choose to say, how we look, our personality (or lack thereof, which is a piece of feedback we got lol), we personally would rather them not tell us, as those types of things are just who we are and feel like slight personal attacks to us. And usually it means we just aren't the best fit for them, which is okay! If our audio is glitching a lot or there is a more technical issue, we definitely like to know those things! Hopefully that makes sense! But in our shoes, we think you did the right thing!
I'm actually surprised you don't have more subscribers, you have it all: personality, food, travel and knowledge . Would love to see a video on the real Kona; may help us all see the reality of a kitchen sink dog when traveling.
Our classroom is learning about places in the U.S.A. by watching your videos! We have learned so much from your videos. Through your videos we are traveling the U.S.A. and completing our U.S.A. travel map. From Sam Houston Middle School in Garland, TX congratulations on your 100k subscribers! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My husband and I absolutely LOVE your videos! Last year my husband got very ill and we love traveling to the mountains. Your videos were an escape for us and felt like we were traveling right with you. Congrats!
That makes us happy to hear! Not the part about your husband being I’ll obviously, but that we could be helpful in anyway! We hope your husband is doing much better! Thank you for following along with us!
Congratulations! You guys obviously make a strong effort to produce fun, informative, beautiful, and inspiring videos. Celebrate this 100k milestone big time! You earned it!
Ahhh -we love you guys… your positivity, your kind ways, your work ethic and all the adventures, travels and hikes you do. Stay true to yourselves, believe in yourselves and thank you for taking us along with you! You live your values and we appreciate that. So sad that you have to face some of the negativity….
I just recently found your channel and I think the two of you are adorable and I love how great your relationship is. I love the destinations. I love all the facts you tell throughout. You have quickly become my new favorite channel. I've added so many things to bucket list because of you all. Keep up the great work!
@@AdventuresofAplusK You two must get hundreds of comments a day and the fact that you have time to go through them and give full answers to all of them is incredible! I couldn’t imagine what it must take to do that and read through all the weird hate comments. You guys really make your channel into an unbelievable experience and make me feel like I’ve been to these places as well😅 Thank you for always putting out the highest quality travel content on the platform and making our days as viewers just a bit better ❤️❤️❤️
Hey guys, my girlfriend and I happened to watch one of your Colorado videos while planning our upcoming trip. I told her at the time, wow, these two really did a good job at making this video without knowing anything about your videos or channel. We’ve now binge watched maybe half your videos and are so inspired by all of your travels! I think I may even get her to go with me to places she’s never heard of before! Thanks for making great videos and being true travel inspiration. Your positivity is infectious. And thanks for being real in this Q&A video too!
Alright! That's our main goal is to be helpful and inspire people so that makes us really happy to have an impact. Thank you for your comments, they mean a lot to us! We hope y'all have a fantastic trip in Colorado and thanks for watching!
Thank you, Adam and Kathryn!!! It may have been a short amount of time in your video, but you just gave a stressed-out automotive engineer in Detroit the highlight of his week with your answer. :) You definitely how to show love to your subscribers! Congrats on 100K, and onward to 1M and beyond!
Hi, I’ve been watching and greatly enjoying your videos for about the past six months. I love that you explore so many different kinds of places, seek out the most fun activities and chow down to find great food recommendations. I have never commented before but I was so moved by your answer about the negativity you sometimes receive. Please know that you have many, many fans out here who love your work and appreciate all you do. ❤
Congrats on reaching such a milestone, it's very well deserved. I always look forward to your next vlog, knowing it will be very entertaining and informative. I love how you guys always present with such positive (and sometimes goofy lol) vibes, it's part of the charm of the channel. Keep up the great work.
I LOVED this video! It made me feel like you were right here…I was smiling the whole time and laughing and even learned some things! Loved the intro with your very first video! You two are very entertaining and real. Stay safe 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
We love your channel, and we're so excited for you! What we love most is that you don't just go to the most popular spots, you're introducing us to towns/areas that we would have never considered. All the other travel channels we watch seem to just follow one another around the world, so it's always the same thing! ( If I never see another Iceland video...) We are VERY excited for your Alaska videos. I'm sure it's going to be amazing. Thank you for all the behind-the-scenes answers today, it was really interesting!
We love to share the off the beaten path places and the small towns. And we also love doing our own thing, but still see the popular stuff as well. Iceland is on our bucket list and we are very excited to go one day, but it won’t be anytime soon so no worries! 😂 We are pumped for AK as well! It’s going to be a great adventure! Thanks for watching!
I JUST said earlier this morning if there's ever a term that I've heard that has resonated with me more than anything, it's "imposter syndrome." I totally get it. It doesn't matter how many times you hear what you do is great, it's easy to think that those people are just being nice or that you've fooled them somehow. Well, I'm not nice or easily fooled, and I think you guys are awesome 😄.
Congratulations to all three of you!! You're my favorite channel, and I always look forward to your adventures! The fact that we don't see all the work that goes into your videos is really a credit to your abilities in making us feel like we are just along for a great adventure. ..although once in a while, I will be watching and wonder how many times you had to hike up that incline to get that shot from behind! Also, it makes me sad that people are mean to you; you seem like such genuinely nice people! HUGS sent! Don't let them get to you, and carry on!
We do our best to brush off the haters! We usually log a few extra miles getting those shots 😂😅 but it’s worth it! Thank you so much for watching and for your comments! They mean a ton to us!
CONGRATULATIONS to the two of you! My wife and I love to plan and travel! We feel planning is half the excitement! With that, we have traveled the world for many years throughout our professional and personal lives. My wife is a trained Classical & Opera soloist that performs around the world in popular venues from Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall. My travels, via military and sales & marketing background. We love exploring cities, national parks and new geographic locations. We love Adventures! Getting to the point... Before today's technology (as you know), travel planning has come a long way from old school paper maps and brochures lol. So, we started using RUclips last year to aid in planning our trips. That's how we stumbled across your channel, we were immediately hooked! We totally connected with your channel. It was everything we were looking for and more! We loved your personalities (similar to ours lol), helpful tavel information and amazing pics & videos! We can't express enough how grateful and appreciative we are for the two of you working as a team, coming into our lives, sharing your lives, hard work, commitment, travel knowledge and entertainment! We totally understand how much work and effort is needed to do a consistent project or manage a way of life. We are sure most of your fans will agree, you're the BEST! Nay with the "negative downers" like water rolling off a duck's back, and keep up the fun and positive Adventures of A&K! Charlie & Charisma Scottsdale, AZ
Wow thank you for that comment! That means a ton to us! Sounds like you both have had some epic adventures around the world and rewarding, impactful careers. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching and supporting! ❤️💙
Congratulations! We love your content and enjoyed the Q&A. Wishing you continued success and a lot more fun adventures. Thanks for being real, honest, and so fun. Also we enjoy seeing Kona, he’s adorable 🐶
So happy for you in hitting this milestone! Have been watching for just over a year and you are my favorite! Fun to see this content too and learn a bit more about you as people. Way to go! Thanks for all the hard work!
We're so excited for you! We've loved watching your journey and appreciate your ability to enjoy every location you visit and show your audience what makes it special.
I love y'all's videos! Y'all are hands down the best couple and RUclips channel on RUclips. Your videos make me dream, learn, and laugh. Congrats on 100,000 subs! Keep up the amazing work!!
Congratulations!! Love watching you guys you truly got me through the pandemic watching all your amazing adventures while I patiently waited for my own. Cheers!!!
I've really enjoyed your videos especially the last 2 years where you've been on a journey. I'm a fellow traveler but able to do 3-4 trips a year. Last year included Death Valley & Outer Banks. This summer is Sequoia. You have given me ideas on hikes. It's also fun to see you visit places I've been. It's so unfortunate that some people choose to be negative and hurtful. Keep traveling and God bless you!
Sequoia is going to be great! We’re hoping to visit there next year. We are happy to share and love knowing that we are helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
It is hard to separate work and life when your life is your work. A delicate balance you are learning to master. What your dad shared is amazing K. What you focus on expands, and gratitude is the fuel to seeing that of which you are grateful for expand. So you must be very grateful for your subscribers and what you get to do. 100,000 subs! Amazing! Well done! Congratulations A +K. You guys are awesome at what you do and that passion you have is apparent. Your genuine hearts are seen, heard and appreciated!!
Congratulations! Love following along on your adventures and if my wife and I are planning a trip somewhere, which we often do, I always check to see if you two have been there already for some tips and guidance. We love hiking, eating and coffee so your adventures usually highlight all the same things we would want to do as well. So excited to see more of Alaska.
Just watched the part where you talked about online bullying…my heart hurts hearing that you’ve experienced that. You’re right that not everyone has to like your content but that they can still be kind about it (and not post about it). I LOVE your content and am so grateful for all the work you two do to create it all! Got hooked via your MN North Shore videos, awesome 😁 Thanks for all you do!! Cheering you on 😊
Congrats on 100K and thanks for the great Q&A! I've watched your channel a handful of times now, and when the two of you are genuinely enjoying something together, it really translates on the screen and makes it enjoyable for us viewers. I foresee you growing your business in a unique way that extends far beyond just your youtube channel. I haven't watched your channel long, but I can tell that you have what it takes to build a successful, multi-faceted business. Enjoy the ride - you're going places and your destined for so much more!
I'm one of the newcomers, but have gone back to view past videos to get caught up. You've definitely inspired my next West Coast RV trip - thanks for all the great info, entertainment, and lovely food ideas! BTW, what originally brought me to the channel were the videos on Moab. We're going there in September, and the info about the area was really helpful.
Our number 1 goal is to be helpful! We have a few posts on our website for Moab and the area so be sure to check those out if you need more ideas! We’re so happy when we can help people! Thanks for being here and thanks for watching!
My first ever RUclips comment reserved for y'all lol. When I discovered your channel, I binged every single video and have loved the anticipation of waiting for your new one to come out. You produce some of the best travel content I've ever seen between the mix of history, commentary and just panning to beautiful shots. The drone footage is absolutely breathtaking. I hope and pray for continued success, increased viewership so y'all can even scale back and rest the way you need to. I moved recently from CA to FL and just gobbled up all of your recent CA footage. I can't wait for you to do traveling through the Eastern Sierra's / Hwy 395 - my favorite place in the country.
We are honored to receive the first! Thank you so much for those kind comments! They truly mean a lot to us! We can’t wait to visit the Eatern Sierras also! That’s our plan for next summer! 🤙 Thanks and thanks for watching!
Congratulations on 100k, I am so excited about your Alaskan trip, a bucket list for myself. Are there any plans for a Patreon account or another way we can support your travels?
We don’t have any plans for Patreon currently. We just don’t have the bandwidth to do it the way we think best at the moment. The best way to support is by watching and sharing! Thank you so much, John!
I so appreciate you both and all the hard work and long hours you put into creating your awesome videos. I subscribe to quite a few van life/travel channels, but yours is a cut above. Your videos are not contrived and I feel that as a viewer, I am getting a realistic look at the destinations you visit. As I have mentioned before, I am following in your footsteps and doing camping trips in both the northeast and pacific states and will be reviewing a lot of your videos in deciding where to visit and what to see. I am a huge Alaska fan and have been several times including this past February to experience Fairbanks in the winter. You will be blown away by the wildness and I am so looking forward to your videos.I know this is now your full time job, but from time to time, put down the camera and just be in the moment when you are surrounded in all the beauty our country offers. It's good for the soul. Congratulations to both of you in reaching this youtube benchmark and I look forward to seeing your channel grow.
Your kind comments mean a lot to us! Thank you! Our number one goal is to be helpful and a resource for people so that makes us feel good to know we accomplish that. We are beyond excited to experience Alaska. It is another big goal of our to truly take in and appreciate the special places around us. Sometimes we’re better at it than others! Thanks for your support, Barbara!
Can I just say, you guys, I’m so proud of you two! I’m a total stranger and yet I’m really so proud for you. I commented in the past, you guys are inspiring and give my husband and me insight on going outside of the comfort zone- thinking outside of the box. We are 59 and 63 years old and active and you are both amazing. God bless you both and stay grounded with each other. Your wonderment in your experiences make us smile BIG! It’s a huge commitment but you guys are making it work and staying true to yourselves. Be well and continue with the good content and stay in the moment!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! That means a lot to us! We are happy to share and hopefully inspire! Thanks for watching and for your support! ❤️💙
My wife & I (we're 62/58) love all you do. You make us feel a part of your adventures. Thank you for taking the time out of your lives to create and share all of this. We wish you all the best! Be safe!
Congrats you two! So happy for you! You deserve great things. I always appreciate your content and the fun happy nature you have. My family and I watch all your videos and love them!
You guys are an INSPIRATION!!!! Ignore anything that tells you otherwise!! You're such a delightful couple and you've kept me sane over the last couple of years during the world's longest lockdowns here in Melbourne, Australia!!! I absolutely love the US and your National Parks and cannot wait to visit again but until then at least I can travel vicariously with you! Thank you both!! Happy travels & trails!!!!!
Thank you so much for saying that! We are so happy we could provide some relief during those crazy times. Thank you for watching and for your support! ❤️💙
It makes me so sad that people would put you guys down! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and getting to know y’all over the past 2 years I’ve been watching! I think you are doing a great job and have helped me plan trips! Thankful for your advice!! Love your positivity!
What I like about your videos is that you put a lot of research into your travel..hikes, itinerary, food choices, etc. I use your videos a lot to plan my own trips.
Husband and I love watching your videos. The fact that you are positive and have fun with one another without trying to sell us anything. You showcase the sites, places to eat, activities or hikes, makes travel much easier for all of us. . You are energetic, entertaining, sweet and just fun to watch. It’s a breath of fresh air. Also, love the dance moves and how you guys don’t take yourselves so seriously. Stay true to yourselves. Trolls can watch another video. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your kind comment and recognizing that! We are extremely picky of what we want to promote and would only promote something that we truly use and highly recommend for our lifestyle or activities. We’ll keep dancing and brushing off the trolls as best we can! ❤️
Your channel ROCKS! All of your hard work is so evident in the exceptional content you put out. You provide so much inspiration. I recommend your channel to family and friends when they are planning road trips. Don't ever take the negativity and bullying to heart. Strong people don't put others down...They lift them up.
Regarding the "not so nice comments", you two are by far the sweetest and most genuine couple! I love watching your videos and admire your enthusiasm and zest for life! congratulations on 100K subscribers and I'm honoured to be part of this channel. Keep on doing what you love.
My family loves you guys. You are a bright spot in our day. My husband and I can watch you guys with our 15 and 12 year old kids and we appreciate that so much. People that say hurtful and negative comments are miserable people themselves and it's not even worth stewing over their comments. It's the whole 'misery loves company' thing. Just know that your content is fun to watch and that you guys are great people. That's totally evident and comes through in your videos. God bless you guys!
Thank you thank you thank you for being who you are!!! Love you guys. You were the reason we decided to go to Glacier last year. Keep on keepin on!❤️☺️😉
Love you two! Wouldn’t have visited Spearfish, SD had I not seen your video! Anyone who bothers to give negative feedback is probably jealous of your energy and enthusiasm for life! Thank you for brightening my day any time I watch!!!
You guys are our favorite! Your energy is contagious! My husband and I have children your age, but we have followed some of your videos to plan our trips! Thank you!! You deserve your success!
Thanks, Sally! We are thankful we get to do what we do! Be sure to check out our website as well for any future trip planning. We have lots of guides and itineraries for most of the places we've visited and we can be much more thorough and detailed in our written content. Thanks again!
What an incredible video! Already loved you guys but this made me appreciate you guys even more. I feel like you guys are the most “normal” ppl on RUclips. Not “trying” to be normal but just normal lol I can actually relate to you guys unlike many youtubers out there. Keep up the great work, congrats!!
Congratulations! As a newbie I really appreciated your discussion on feeling frustrated and wanting to give up (in the beginning). I honestly felt like giving up today, due to a massive editing learning curve. You inspired me to not throw in the towel so quickly. I love your videos and it makes me upset that people can be so mean sometimes. Keep on adventuring!
Have to tell you how much we love watching you both! You put so much thought, content, and energy in your videos that the only thing we'd say about bullies is they're jealous. REALLY! Many ppl would ❤️ to do what you do but can't or are afraid or whatever so putting you down makes them feel better. Do NOT allow naysayers to take you down. You are doing GREAT by any measure so keep on keeping on!
I can only imagine how much work it is to build a RUclips channel like this. You two should be proud. I also admire your strength in pushing through the negative and putting out great, positive, content for others. You make RUclips a nicer place. Keep up the fantastic work.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! My wife and I have been using your channel for the last year to help plan our honeymoon in America. Your content is always so helpful and beautifully shot and edited.
Thanks for sharing even MORE about yourselves and your adventures!! You two have been a great joy to learn from and enjoy over the past couple months of being a new subscriber. So, I'm especially looking forward to your upcoming video about Cape Disappointment - I will be traveling through there on our summer road trip! Someone I know who also used to live in the PNW highly recommended we add a day stop there. As for Alaska, I can't wait to see your travels!!! A few years ago, my two adult children and I traveled there, and some of our favorite memories include hiking a part of the Chilkoot Trail and jumping into a river raft float down the Taiya River in Skagway, an epic Viking canoe paddle to and terrifying yet majestic trek ON the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, riding the green transit bus to and from Eielson Visitor Center at mile 66 in Denali NP, and taking the 12-hour scenic train ride from Fairbanks to Anchorage. You're right in what you said at the end: there will ALWAYS be something new to see in the US!! Cheers to you both on your 100K+ subscribers!!
Wow those are some epic adventures in Alaska! We can’t wait to get there! You’re going to love Cape Disappointment! Thank you so much for watching and following along! We are happy to share our adventures! ❤️💙
Congrats you two! I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now and you more than deserve it! Thank you for inspiring those of us who watch to get up, get out, and explore this wonderful world 😁
thank you so much for shedding light on kona's reactivity. i have a reactive dog and while she's the sweetest thing, it is so hard to manage her reactiveness and anxiety. when you shared this about kona, it made me feel that my pup wasn't the only one. i was so nervous about traveling with her, but i have learned a lot of training techniques, and she's been a great travel companion. i am glad to see from your videos that it's possible to travel so much with a reactive dog. kona clearly loves you so much!
Yes it is very nice to hear that we aren't the only ones who struggle with this. It can very embarrassing when out in public when your dog freaks out. Also, it is a bummer when you have to miss out on certain things because your dog won't be able to handle it. Kona is super sweet in the van, but often times a handful when out and about. It is definitely possible to travel you just have to put them first always and be an advocate for them when you know a situation is coming up. Off leash dogs are the bane of our existence! Thanks, Diana!
Wow! This is hyper-growth! Congratulations on reaching this milestone 😍 I remember subscribing to your channel during the height of the pandemic and I guess you had around 15K subscribers at that time!
First CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K! Had to pause at 13:32….watching your videos…the amount of time and energy, editing you do on your hikes (I’ve commented before) blows my mind! We are creators and understand the effort, but you two go way beyond! So haters go somewhere else…these two are extremely hardworking and are providing incredible footage!…now on to the rest of the video! ~Cara
Congrats on 100K subscribers! Definitely well deserved. Your videos are genuine, entertaining and informative. I always look forward to watching them. Keep up the good work!
Catching up on your videos. Watching your Q&A for your 100,000 K subscriber video. You two are utterly amazing! I want you to know that watching your videos has reminded me how much I love the outdoors and camping. And I started camping again. I’m a 61 your old Single woman with a 14-year-old Chihuahua! She and I have done lots of hiking kayaking camping snowshoeing etc. Last few years we haven’t done much as I have knee problems. But watching your videos has reminded me of the joy of being outdoors and with some modifications her and I are back out camping and enjoying the outdoors again! So thank you enjoying watching all of your videos!
That makes us so happy to hear that! We’re glad you could adjust the experience to make it work for you both. There are real benefits of being out in nature. Thank you so much for your comment and thanks for watching!
Congrats on such a big milestone! There are a lot of travel RUclipsrs out there but this channel is my absolute favorite and I usually watch the video within a week of releasing. Cheers!!!!!!
You guys are great !!! Hard work and dedication pays off.......100K times. Keep traveling, keep recording, keep enjoying life and supporting each other. You're a great couple and an outstanding role model for the next generation. Safe travels, can't wait to explore Canada & Alaska with you.
Excellent video; so many of our questions were answered. Our family accidentally found your Journey to Alaska a couple of months ago and watch the latest episodes every weekend. As Arizonans, you reinvigorated our love for our state, so thank you! Can't wait to continue following your adventures.
Congratulations on 100 K. We have been a sub for a year or so. Love the content and style. Watching this you gave are hometown a shoutout. Bellingham is home and we love it. We could see you guys fitting in here. Safe travels and enjoy Alaska!
I have been enjoying your adventures for over a year now. I always look forward to wherever you go next.. Congrats on 100,000 subscribers. That's over 3x the number of people who live in my hometown.
You two are straight up honest and eventually you two will be sitting back and waiting for 200 thousand subscribers keep on sharing your great adventures I know will always be great. I know thier is always a stress factor at times but don't let that deter you Adam and Kathryn
Congrats on 100K! My wife and I LOVE you videos and appreciate the hard work involved. You have quickly become our "go to" channel and know its only a matter of time before you cross the 1M subscriber threshold!! Also we are travelling to Alaska in July and spending a month in a rented RV so we will be watching closely your adventures in Alaska. Thanks for inspiring us in so many ways!
I just want both of you to know that I love watching your videos!!! It allows people like me to live vicariously through you. Neither of you deserve to be picked on, and of course it would affect you. I wish people would just be kind. That’s kinda a lost art. BE KIND people!!!! Love you guys!!! 🥰😘🥰
Wow, congratulations. I couldn't be more happy for you. Ignore the negative comments. I've watched a lot of travel videos and you guys are my favorite by far. I've built my van and I'm doing a few trips getting ready for retirement. I do videos on RUclips but they are very much a beginner. I'm learning a lot watching your excellent work and I feel like your a friend and not just another travel blogger. Keep up the great work and enjoy yourselves.
Thank you for creating these amazing travel videos and sharing this part of your life with us! We love your videos and your positivity and have used the incredible information you provide for our travels in the US. Stay positive and for anyone that makes negative comments, just feel sorry for them that they can’t be happy for you. Keep having fun!
I started watching you guys during the pandemic and you really inspired me to travel to the US - something that never interested me before! One of my fav things about you is that you take the time to speak about the native history of the places you visit rather than gloss over. Totally agree about van life in Europe - the windy little streets may not take well to a big ol’ van! When you do come back to Europe (and I’ve commented this before), you have to visit beautiful Wales 🏴!
That makes us feel really good to hear! We're glad we could inspire you to travel the US. There is so much diverse scenery and history in the US to see and learn about! Wales is really really high on our list! We want to visit Snowdonia really bad (and tons of other places)! We're gonna need some help with pronouncing some of those place names though!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Snowdonia is beautiful, and you’ll have to visit Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch as a rite of passage to Wales! The south gets a bit overlooked but Brecon Beacons is luscious and green (highly recommend Llyn y Fan Fach) and Pembrokeshire is breath taking (home to the smallest city in the UK and birthplace of our patron saint, St David’s). Of course we also have tons of mining history and lots and lots of very cute sheep! I have no doubt you guys will love it here and your videos will do us justice! And now back to binge watching the Alaska Highway vlogs 😄
Congrats on 100K!! I usually save your videos for Saturday mornings which is a nice way to start the weekend with my coffee! I enjoy traveling to incorporate my photography and I have found your videos a good resource to get some great photography opportunities. So thanks for sharing your adventures! I also have to say, I really enjoy your descriptive food commentary. It makes me think more about what I eat.
Thanks so much, Jeff! We have a lot of fun with our food descriptions 😊 Our number one goal is to be helpful so we love when we hear that we can be a resource! 👍
So happy for you guys! Subscribed at around 4200 subscribers and have been enjoying the adventures since then. You’ve inspired us to explore more of the country and we look forward to each weeks episode. Congratulations on the success and can’t wait to see what’s to come.
I really enjoyed this Q&A! Helped me feel like I know you better. Enjoyed the Montana de Oro story - not because of what happened - but because we live about 1/2 hour from there in Pismo Beach, California. I have been watching your videos since you came through here on your way to Alaska - and haven't missed a video since. Look forward to Sunday mornings when you post a new video. Plus - have gone back and watched earlier videos - I LOVED your trip through Italy!! All that said - I was sad to hear that some people leave negative comments, SHAME ON THEM! You guys are so much fun - so upbeat - so joyful and excited about the places you go - and the FOOD! : ) I consider your channel at the very top of the best channels on RUclips. Your photography is AMAZING, and your content is always interesting , informative and well edited., i Sorry to go on - but you two are a RUclips treasure. Love you guys. ❤
Hey Chris! Yeah that Montana de Oro story is funny to laugh back at now lol. The negative comments are a bummer, but thankfully 99.9% are very nice and positive. Thank you so much as always!
congratulations to you both!!! What a huge achievement in just a few years! You guys are my FAVORITE youtube account, I've used your videos to plan several trips- they are so informative, well organized, you guys do such a great job presenting facts, and the videography and editing skills are wonderful! Such a shame that people can be so negative on the internet, but keep your head high because it's obvious there are thousands of people who absolutely love your content and keep coming back for more! I have a typical 9-5 job so it's also fun to watch you guys travel to these amazing places- I am typically able to take about 1 trip a year but am always planning "future trips" on word documents and my heart aches for the next time I'm able to travel, and can't wait to someday see these places you guys have been to! I have to say I really love these Q&A videos too, so nice to get to know you both a bit better and I hope you do more Q&A's in the future! I'm so looking forward to some upcoming Canada and Alaska content! All the best, from another Kathryn (we spell our name the RIGHT way, eh? haha 😆 )
Our number 1 goal is to be helpful and it makes us really happy to know when we are! We are so happy to share our adventures and q&a’s as well! And yes I was going to say you spell your name the right way if you didn’t hahah! Thank you for your kind comment and for watching!
Please ignore the hurtful RUclips comments. My wife and I have been following you guys for over 2 years now and when we moved to Austin, Texas we found your videos on the area so helpful! I wish you all the success you can imagine!
Huge Congrats Adam & Kathryn (and Kona)!!! 🥳 Discovered your channel as our family started to travel more with our kids to National Parks. We (my kids included) love your fun, positive, and quality content. Makes my kids more excited to travel, even when mom & dad want to hike more than they do! 😉 Keep up the great work and content, but as you said, please take time to rest & enjoy yourselves as well. All the best with your 2022 travels! 🚗🌻🦌🌲🌊

Congratulations 💯🥳 Love the videos. Be strong & keep your heads up. You guys are doing a really great job!! 🥰💖💙
For all of the questions you answered, you guys probably posed the best question of them all - why should online bullying be normalised? 🙌 You guys deserve an award for this!!
Totally agree. People need to learn to deal with their own insecurities in a more productive way. Why does tearing someone else down make anyone feel better? Makes no sense to me.
I have dropped a couple of travel bloggers and I never said a word on their channels, just unsubscribed and stopped watching them. I had wondered if I should have said anything - not meanly, just a quiet statement of the reason why I was no longer watching (in one case because I got tired of him being in drop dead gorgeous places such as national parks, and complaining he had been to better places). But I just quietly left. This video confirmed to me that I did the correct thing.
Totally agree!!!!
We are glad that you agree! ❤️ As someone who has experienced online bullying in both middle school and now, it's never ever okay.
It's great to hear a viewers perspective on this! While we cannot speak for all creators, we have received many messages and emails along the lines of "I love your videos, but ____ (and insert many things they do not like lol)" and for us personally, as we are trying to create videos that showcase our authentic selves and what makes US happy, it stings a bit.
While we have taken a lot of feedback and tried to get better over time, there are certain things we cannot change without changing who we are. So if someone doesn't like the words we choose to say, how we look, our personality (or lack thereof, which is a piece of feedback we got lol), we personally would rather them not tell us, as those types of things are just who we are and feel like slight personal attacks to us. And usually it means we just aren't the best fit for them, which is okay! If our audio is glitching a lot or there is a more technical issue, we definitely like to know those things!
Hopefully that makes sense! But in our shoes, we think you did the right thing!
I'm actually surprised you don't have more subscribers, you have it all: personality, food, travel and knowledge .
Would love to see a video on the real Kona; may help us all see the reality of a kitchen sink dog when traveling.
We might try mixing in some spicy Kona soon 😅
Thank you for watching and for your support!
Our classroom is learning about places in the U.S.A. by watching your videos! We have learned so much from your videos. Through your videos we are traveling the U.S.A. and completing our U.S.A. travel map. From Sam Houston Middle School in Garland, TX congratulations on your 100k subscribers! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
WOW! That’s so cool! I’m glad we can provide a resource for you and your students! Thanks for sharing and watching!
So awesome!!
My husband and I absolutely LOVE your videos! Last year my husband got very ill and we love traveling to the mountains. Your videos were an escape for us and felt like we were traveling right with you. Congrats!
That makes us happy to hear! Not the part about your husband being I’ll obviously, but that we could be helpful in anyway! We hope your husband is doing much better!
Thank you for following along with us!
Congratulations! You guys obviously make a strong effort to produce fun, informative, beautiful, and inspiring videos. Celebrate this 100k milestone big time! You earned it!
We try our hardest! Thank you for watching and for your support!
Ahhh -we love you guys… your positivity, your kind ways, your work ethic and all the adventures, travels and hikes you do. Stay true to yourselves, believe in yourselves and thank you for taking us along with you! You live your values and we appreciate that.
So sad that you have to face some of the negativity….
Thank you so much for that! We appreciate the support and words of wisdom! ❤️💙
Ditto!!! ❤️
I just recently found your channel and I think the two of you are adorable and I love how great your relationship is. I love the destinations. I love all the facts you tell throughout. You have quickly become my new favorite channel. I've added so many things to bucket list because of you all. Keep up the great work!
That makes us really happy to be entertaining and especially helpful! Thank you! ❤️💙
Thank you so much for the answers to these questions you guys! I can’t wait for the Q&A at 1,000,000 subscribers 😊
Woooo! Maybe one day! 🤪 Thank you for watching and for your support! We always look forward to your comments! ❤️❤️
@@AdventuresofAplusK You two must get hundreds of comments a day and the fact that you have time to go through them and give full answers to all of them is incredible! I couldn’t imagine what it must take to do that and read through all the weird hate comments. You guys really make your channel into an unbelievable experience and make me feel like I’ve been to these places as well😅 Thank you for always putting out the highest quality travel content on the platform and making our days as viewers just a bit better ❤️❤️❤️
Hey guys, my girlfriend and I happened to watch one of your Colorado videos while planning our upcoming trip. I told her at the time, wow, these two really did a good job at making this video without knowing anything about your videos or channel.
We’ve now binge watched maybe half your videos and are so inspired by all of your travels! I think I may even get her to go with me to places she’s never heard of before!
Thanks for making great videos and being true travel inspiration. Your positivity is infectious. And thanks for being real in this Q&A video too!
Alright! That's our main goal is to be helpful and inspire people so that makes us really happy to have an impact. Thank you for your comments, they mean a lot to us! We hope y'all have a fantastic trip in Colorado and thanks for watching!
Thank you, Adam and Kathryn!!! It may have been a short amount of time in your video, but you just gave a stressed-out automotive engineer in Detroit the highlight of his week with your answer. :) You definitely how to show love to your subscribers! Congrats on 100K, and onward to 1M and beyond!
Thank you for the question and we’re so happy we could answer it! We hope your week got better! Thanks, James!
Hi, I’ve been watching and greatly enjoying your videos for about the past six months. I love that you explore so many different kinds of places, seek out the most fun activities and chow down to find great food recommendations. I have never commented before but I was so moved by your answer about the negativity you sometimes receive. Please know that you have many, many fans out here who love your work and appreciate all you do. ❤
Thank you for your comment, watching, and for your support, Aaron! ❤️💙
Congrats on reaching such a milestone, it's very well deserved. I always look forward to your next vlog, knowing it will be very entertaining and informative. I love how you guys always present with such positive (and sometimes goofy lol) vibes, it's part of the charm of the channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
We are so so HAPPY for you guys! You have helped us with AWESOME ideas.
Providing value makes us the most happy! Thank you so much for watching!
Congratulations! if anyone deserves it, it’s you guys. Your videos are amazing and I look forward to every video you guys drop. Next stop, a million!
❤️❤️ Thank you!
I LOVED this video! It made me feel like you were right here…I was smiling the whole time and laughing and even learned some things! Loved the intro with your very first video! You two are very entertaining and real. Stay safe 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
Thank you so much! And thank you for your infinite support in many many ways! ❤️❤️
We love your channel, and we're so excited for you! What we love most is that you don't just go to the most popular spots, you're introducing us to towns/areas that we would have never considered. All the other travel channels we watch seem to just follow one another around the world, so it's always the same thing! ( If I never see another Iceland video...)
We are VERY excited for your Alaska videos. I'm sure it's going to be amazing. Thank you for all the behind-the-scenes answers today, it was really interesting!
We love to share the off the beaten path places and the small towns. And we also love doing our own thing, but still see the popular stuff as well. Iceland is on our bucket list and we are very excited to go one day, but it won’t be anytime soon so no worries! 😂
We are pumped for AK as well! It’s going to be a great adventure!
Thanks for watching!
I JUST said earlier this morning if there's ever a term that I've heard that has resonated with me more than anything, it's "imposter syndrome." I totally get it. It doesn't matter how many times you hear what you do is great, it's easy to think that those people are just being nice or that you've fooled them somehow. Well, I'm not nice or easily fooled, and I think you guys are awesome 😄.
Thanks for that! That means a lot to us and we’re thankful for you, Justin!
Congratulations on 100K!! Love all the content you guys provide us as well as the website guides to each place.
It makes us happy when we provide value. Thanks for watching, Leslie!
Congratulations to all three of you!! You're my favorite channel, and I always look forward to your adventures! The fact that we don't see all the work that goes into your videos is really a credit to your abilities in making us feel like we are just along for a great adventure. ..although once in a while, I will be watching and wonder how many times you had to hike up that incline to get that shot from behind! Also, it makes me sad that people are mean to you; you seem like such genuinely nice people! HUGS sent! Don't let them get to you, and carry on!
Well said!
We do our best to brush off the haters!
We usually log a few extra miles getting those shots 😂😅 but it’s worth it!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comments! They mean a ton to us!
CONGRATULATIONS to the two of you! My wife and I love to plan and travel! We feel planning is half the excitement! With that, we have traveled the world for many years throughout our professional and personal lives. My wife is a trained Classical & Opera soloist that performs around the world in popular venues from Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall. My travels, via military and sales & marketing background. We love exploring cities, national parks and new geographic locations. We love Adventures! Getting to the point... Before today's technology (as you know), travel planning has come a long way from old school paper maps and brochures lol. So, we started using RUclips last year to aid in planning our trips. That's how we stumbled across your channel, we were immediately hooked! We totally connected with your channel. It was everything we were looking for and more! We loved your personalities (similar to ours lol), helpful tavel information and amazing pics & videos! We can't express enough how grateful and appreciative we are for the two of you working as a team, coming into our lives, sharing your lives, hard work, commitment, travel knowledge and entertainment! We totally understand how much work and effort is needed to do a consistent project or manage a way of life. We are sure most of your fans will agree, you're the BEST! Nay with the "negative downers" like water rolling off a duck's back, and keep up the fun and positive Adventures of A&K!
Charlie & Charisma Scottsdale, AZ
Wow thank you for that comment! That means a ton to us! Sounds like you both have had some epic adventures around the world and rewarding, impactful careers.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching and supporting! ❤️💙
Congratulations! We love your content and enjoyed the Q&A. Wishing you continued success and a lot more fun adventures. Thanks for being real, honest, and so fun. Also we enjoy seeing Kona, he’s adorable 🐶
Thank you so much! 🥳
So happy for you in hitting this milestone! Have been watching for just over a year and you are my favorite! Fun to see this content too and learn a bit more about you as people.
Way to go! Thanks for all the hard work!
We are happy to share! Thank you for sticking with us! ❤️
We're so excited for you! We've loved watching your journey and appreciate your ability to enjoy every location you visit and show your audience what makes it special.
Thank you! ❤️
“Do you ever think about how lucky you are?” - I love this and will probably use it with my kids.
Love you guys…
We are extremely lucky! We know many many people would love to have our “problems”. We’re lucky we get to do what we do! Thank you so much, Bryan!
I love y'all's videos! Y'all are hands down the best couple and RUclips channel on RUclips. Your videos make me dream, learn, and laugh. Congrats on 100,000 subs! Keep up the amazing work!!
You’re very kind, Eric! We appreciate your comments and support! ❤️💙
Congratulations!! Love watching you guys you truly got me through the pandemic watching all your amazing adventures while I patiently waited for my own. Cheers!!!
We’re happy to help! That makes us happy. Thank you for watching!
I've really enjoyed your videos especially the last 2 years where you've been on a journey. I'm a fellow traveler but able to do 3-4 trips a year. Last year included Death Valley & Outer Banks. This summer is Sequoia. You have given me ideas on hikes. It's also fun to see you visit places I've been. It's so unfortunate that some people choose to be negative and hurtful. Keep traveling and God bless you!
Sequoia is going to be great! We’re hoping to visit there next year. We are happy to share and love knowing that we are helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
It is hard to separate work and life when your life is your work. A delicate balance you are learning to master. What your dad shared is amazing K. What you focus on expands, and gratitude is the fuel to seeing that of which you are grateful for expand. So you must be very grateful for your subscribers and what you get to do. 100,000 subs! Amazing! Well done! Congratulations A +K. You guys are awesome at what you do and that passion you have is apparent. Your genuine hearts are seen, heard and appreciated!!
Thank you for recognizing that. The balance is very tough for us!
Your comment is very kind and appreciated! Thank you! ❤️💙
Congratulations! Love following along on your adventures and if my wife and I are planning a trip somewhere, which we often do, I always check to see if you two have been there already for some tips and guidance. We love hiking, eating and coffee so your adventures usually highlight all the same things we would want to do as well. So excited to see more of Alaska.
Our #1 goal is to be helpful and provide value so that makes us really happy to know we’re your go to! Thanks for watching!
Just watched the part where you talked about online bullying…my heart hurts hearing that you’ve experienced that. You’re right that not everyone has to like your content but that they can still be kind about it (and not post about it). I LOVE your content and am so grateful for all the work you two do to create it all! Got hooked via your MN North Shore videos, awesome 😁 Thanks for all you do!! Cheering you on 😊
Congrats!! You guys are awesome!
❤️❤️
Congrats on 100K and thanks for the great Q&A! I've watched your channel a handful of times now, and when the two of you are genuinely enjoying something together, it really translates on the screen and makes it enjoyable for us viewers. I foresee you growing your business in a unique way that extends far beyond just your youtube channel. I haven't watched your channel long, but I can tell that you have what it takes to build a successful, multi-faceted business. Enjoy the ride - you're going places and your destined for so much more!
Thank you so much, Amy! ❤️💙
Congrats!! Love the videos!
❤️❤️
Thank you for answering my question! You guys are the best and a well-deserved 100k. Woo-hoo!
Wahoo! Thank you!
I'm one of the newcomers, but have gone back to view past videos to get caught up. You've definitely inspired my next West Coast RV trip - thanks for all the great info, entertainment, and lovely food ideas! BTW, what originally brought me to the channel were the videos on Moab. We're going there in September, and the info about the area was really helpful.
Our number 1 goal is to be helpful! We have a few posts on our website for Moab and the area so be sure to check those out if you need more ideas! We’re so happy when we can help people! Thanks for being here and thanks for watching!
My first ever RUclips comment reserved for y'all lol. When I discovered your channel, I binged every single video and have loved the anticipation of waiting for your new one to come out. You produce some of the best travel content I've ever seen between the mix of history, commentary and just panning to beautiful shots. The drone footage is absolutely breathtaking. I hope and pray for continued success, increased viewership so y'all can even scale back and rest the way you need to. I moved recently from CA to FL and just gobbled up all of your recent CA footage. I can't wait for you to do traveling through the Eastern Sierra's / Hwy 395 - my favorite place in the country.
We are honored to receive the first!
Thank you so much for those kind comments! They truly mean a lot to us!
We can’t wait to visit the Eatern Sierras also! That’s our plan for next summer! 🤙
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Congratulations on 100k, I am so excited about your Alaskan trip, a bucket list for myself. Are there any plans for a Patreon account or another way we can support your travels?
We don’t have any plans for Patreon currently. We just don’t have the bandwidth to do it the way we think best at the moment. The best way to support is by watching and sharing! Thank you so much, John!
I so appreciate you both and all the hard work and long hours you put into creating your awesome videos. I subscribe to quite a few van life/travel channels, but yours is a cut above. Your videos are not contrived and I feel that as a viewer, I am getting a realistic look at the destinations you visit. As I have mentioned before, I am following in your footsteps and doing camping trips in both the northeast and pacific states and will be reviewing a lot of your videos in deciding where to visit and what to see. I am a huge Alaska fan and have been several times including this past February to experience Fairbanks in the winter. You will be blown away by the wildness and I am so looking forward to your videos.I know this is now your full time job, but from time to time, put down the camera and just be in the moment when you are surrounded in all the beauty our country offers. It's good for the soul. Congratulations to both of you in reaching this youtube benchmark and I look forward to seeing your channel grow.
Your kind comments mean a lot to us! Thank you! Our number one goal is to be helpful and a resource for people so that makes us feel good to know we accomplish that. We are beyond excited to experience Alaska. It is another big goal of our to truly take in and appreciate the special places around us. Sometimes we’re better at it than others! Thanks for your support, Barbara!
Kona ice cream flavor: Rocky Road
Apparently rocky road with Tabasco 😆
That would be a good one!
That would be accurate as well 😂
Congrats you two! Well deserved, thank you so much for all you do
❤️❤️
Can I just say, you guys, I’m so proud of you two! I’m a total stranger and yet I’m really so proud for you. I commented in the past, you guys are inspiring and give my husband and me insight on going outside of the comfort zone- thinking outside of the box. We are 59 and 63 years old and active and you are both amazing. God bless you both and stay grounded with each other. Your wonderment in your experiences make us smile BIG! It’s a huge commitment but you guys are making it work and staying true to yourselves. Be well and continue with the good content and stay in the moment!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! That means a lot to us! We are happy to share and hopefully inspire! Thanks for watching and for your support! ❤️💙
My wife & I (we're 62/58) love all you do. You make us feel a part of your adventures. Thank you for taking the time out of your lives to create and share all of this. We wish you all the best! Be safe!
We’re happy to share! Thank you for watching!
Congrats you two! So happy for you! You deserve great things. I always appreciate your content and the fun happy nature you have. My family and I watch all your videos and love them!
We’re happy to share. Thanks, Bill and family!
You guys are an INSPIRATION!!!! Ignore anything that tells you otherwise!! You're such a delightful couple and you've kept me sane over the last couple of years during the world's longest lockdowns here in Melbourne, Australia!!! I absolutely love the US and your National Parks and cannot wait to visit again but until then at least I can travel vicariously with you! Thank you both!! Happy travels & trails!!!!!
Thank you so much for saying that! We are so happy we could provide some relief during those crazy times. Thank you for watching and for your support! ❤️💙
It makes me so sad that people would put you guys down! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and getting to know y’all over the past 2 years I’ve been watching! I think you are doing a great job and have helped me plan trips! Thankful for your advice!! Love your positivity!
We’re glad we could help and be entertaining. Thanks for sticking with us and for your support! ❤️💙
What I like about your videos is that you put a lot of research into your travel..hikes, itinerary, food choices, etc. I use your videos a lot to plan my own trips.
We’re glad we could help. Our number one goal is to provide value. Thanks for watching!
Love you two. Appreciate your authentic selves on your videos. Interesting to hear your background stories. Thanks!
Congratulations!! I can't imagine how you could lose anyone! You all are great 👍
❤️💙
Husband and I love watching your videos. The fact that you are positive and have fun with one another without trying to sell us anything. You showcase the sites, places to eat, activities or hikes, makes travel much easier for all of us. . You are energetic, entertaining, sweet and just fun to watch. It’s a breath of fresh air. Also, love the dance moves and how you guys don’t take yourselves so seriously. Stay true to yourselves. Trolls can watch another video. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your kind comment and recognizing that! We are extremely picky of what we want to promote and would only promote something that we truly use and highly recommend for our lifestyle or activities. We’ll keep dancing and brushing off the trolls as best we can! ❤️
Your channel ROCKS! All of your hard work is so evident in the exceptional content you put out. You provide so much inspiration. I recommend your channel to family and friends when they are planning road trips.
Don't ever take the negativity and bullying to heart. Strong people don't put others down...They lift them up.
Thank you so much for saying that and for sharing! ❤️❤️
Hello Adventurers😊😊🎉🎉🎉, so thrilled that y'all got to 100 thousand subscribers...AWESOME!!!
Heck ya! Thanks! 👍👊
You both are our inspiration. Not to be online content creators, but to get out and live it!
Heck ya! Thanks, Bob!
Regarding the "not so nice comments", you two are by far the sweetest and most genuine couple! I love watching your videos and admire your enthusiasm and zest for life! congratulations on 100K subscribers and I'm honoured to be part of this channel. Keep on doing what you love.
Thank you so much!
My family loves you guys. You are a bright spot in our day. My husband and I can watch you guys with our 15 and 12 year old kids and we appreciate that so much. People that say hurtful and negative comments are miserable people themselves and it's not even worth stewing over their comments. It's the whole 'misery loves company' thing. Just know that your content is fun to watch and that you guys are great people. That's totally evident and comes through in your videos. God bless you guys!
That makes us feel really good! Thank you for your comment and for watching! ❤️💙
Seriously my favorite youtubers! Y'all need to come back to Michigan's Upper Peninsula! Congrats on 100K!
We will! It’s lovely up there! Thank you! 🥳👊
Thank you thank you thank you for being who you are!!! Love you guys. You were the reason we decided to go to Glacier last year. Keep on keepin on!❤️☺️😉
Glacier 😍 Thank you so much for watching!
Love you two! Wouldn’t have visited Spearfish, SD had I not seen your video!
Anyone who bothers to give negative feedback is probably jealous of your energy and enthusiasm for life!
Thank you for brightening my day any time I watch!!!
You guys are our favorite! Your energy is contagious! My husband and I have children your age, but we have followed some of your videos to plan our trips! Thank you!! You deserve your success!
Thanks, Sally! We are thankful we get to do what we do! Be sure to check out our website as well for any future trip planning. We have lots of guides and itineraries for most of the places we've visited and we can be much more thorough and detailed in our written content. Thanks again!
What an incredible video! Already loved you guys but this made me appreciate you guys even more. I feel like you guys are the most “normal” ppl on RUclips. Not “trying” to be normal but just normal lol I can actually relate to you guys unlike many youtubers out there. Keep up the great work, congrats!!
Thank you that means a lot to us!
Congratulations! As a newbie I really appreciated your discussion on feeling frustrated and wanting to give up (in the beginning). I honestly felt like giving up today, due to a massive editing learning curve. You inspired me to not throw in the towel so quickly. I love your videos and it makes me upset that people can be so mean sometimes. Keep on adventuring!
Yes there are a lot of road bumps along the way, but ya gotta push through and persevere! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Have to tell you how much we love watching you both! You put so much thought, content, and energy in your videos that the only thing we'd say about bullies is they're jealous. REALLY! Many ppl would ❤️ to do what you do but can't or are afraid or whatever so putting you down makes them feel better. Do NOT allow naysayers to take you down. You are doing GREAT by any measure so keep on keeping on!
Thank you so much! Your comments and support mean a lot to us!
I can only imagine how much work it is to build a RUclips channel like this. You two should be proud. I also admire your strength in pushing through the negative and putting out great, positive, content for others. You make RUclips a nicer place. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks, Brennan!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! My wife and I have been using your channel for the last year to help plan our honeymoon in America. Your content is always so helpful and beautifully shot and edited.
We love that we can be a resource. Our number one goal is to help people. Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing even MORE about yourselves and your adventures!! You two have been a great joy to learn from and enjoy over the past couple months of being a new subscriber. So, I'm especially looking forward to your upcoming video about Cape Disappointment - I will be traveling through there on our summer road trip! Someone I know who also used to live in the PNW highly recommended we add a day stop there. As for Alaska, I can't wait to see your travels!!! A few years ago, my two adult children and I traveled there, and some of our favorite memories include hiking a part of the Chilkoot Trail and jumping into a river raft float down the Taiya River in Skagway, an epic Viking canoe paddle to and terrifying yet majestic trek ON the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, riding the green transit bus to and from Eielson Visitor Center at mile 66 in Denali NP, and taking the 12-hour scenic train ride from Fairbanks to Anchorage. You're right in what you said at the end: there will ALWAYS be something new to see in the US!! Cheers to you both on your 100K+ subscribers!!
Wow those are some epic adventures in Alaska! We can’t wait to get there!
You’re going to love Cape Disappointment!
Thank you so much for watching and following along! We are happy to share our adventures! ❤️💙
Congrats you two! I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now and you more than deserve it! Thank you for inspiring those of us who watch to get up, get out, and explore this wonderful world 😁
Thanks for sticking with us! ❤️💙
thank you so much for shedding light on kona's reactivity. i have a reactive dog and while she's the sweetest thing, it is so hard to manage her reactiveness and anxiety. when you shared this about kona, it made me feel that my pup wasn't the only one. i was so nervous about traveling with her, but i have learned a lot of training techniques, and she's been a great travel companion. i am glad to see from your videos that it's possible to travel so much with a reactive dog. kona clearly loves you so much!
Yes it is very nice to hear that we aren't the only ones who struggle with this. It can very embarrassing when out in public when your dog freaks out. Also, it is a bummer when you have to miss out on certain things because your dog won't be able to handle it. Kona is super sweet in the van, but often times a handful when out and about. It is definitely possible to travel you just have to put them first always and be an advocate for them when you know a situation is coming up. Off leash dogs are the bane of our existence! Thanks, Diana!
Congratulations! I'm a travel addict but when I can't get away myself the next best thing is watching your videos.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Wow! This is hyper-growth! Congratulations on reaching this milestone 😍 I remember subscribing to your channel during the height of the pandemic and I guess you had around 15K subscribers at that time!
It’s pretty crazy to us too! 🤯 Thanks so much for being here and watching!
Great video! You guys provided so much information. Good job.
💙❤️
Don’t change a thing, we watch every week! Great job 👏
Thank you! ❤️💙
First CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K! Had to pause at 13:32….watching your videos…the amount of time and energy, editing you do on your hikes (I’ve commented before) blows my mind! We are creators and understand the effort, but you two go way beyond! So haters go somewhere else…these two are extremely hardworking and are providing incredible footage!…now on to the rest of the video! ~Cara
Y’all are so kind! We love reading your comments every video! Thank you for them and watching! ❤️
Congrats on 100K subscribers! Definitely well deserved. Your videos are genuine, entertaining and informative. I always look forward to watching them. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! ❤️💙
Catching up on your videos. Watching your Q&A for your 100,000 K subscriber video. You two are utterly amazing! I want you to know that watching your videos has reminded me how much I love the outdoors and camping. And I started camping again. I’m a 61 your old Single woman with a 14-year-old Chihuahua! She and I have done lots of hiking kayaking camping snowshoeing etc. Last few years we haven’t done much as I have knee problems. But watching your videos has reminded me of the joy of being outdoors and with some modifications her and I are back out camping and enjoying the outdoors again! So thank you enjoying watching all of your videos!
That makes us so happy to hear that! We’re glad you could adjust the experience to make it work for you both. There are real benefits of being out in nature. Thank you so much for your comment and thanks for watching!
Congrats on such a big milestone! There are a lot of travel RUclipsrs out there but this channel is my absolute favorite and I usually watch the video within a week of releasing. Cheers!!!!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Loved this episode so much.Your honesty and openness are truly appreciated! 🙏
Thanks, Andrew!
You guys are great !!! Hard work and dedication pays off.......100K times. Keep traveling, keep recording, keep enjoying life and supporting each other. You're a great couple and an outstanding role model for the next generation. Safe travels, can't wait to explore Canada & Alaska with you.
We’ll keep on! ❤️💙 thanks, Phil!
WOOOOHOOOO!! 🎉 We’ve been following along since 30K and have loved every episode along the way!! Y’all are amazing!
Woohoo! Thanks so much!
Congratulations on 100k!!! You deserve all of the success! Thank you for helping us imagine and plan to see ourselves in all of these places.
Thank you, Matthew! It was a late night! 😂I’m so sorry!
Excellent video; so many of our questions were answered. Our family accidentally found your Journey to Alaska a couple of months ago and watch the latest episodes every weekend. As Arizonans, you reinvigorated our love for our state, so thank you! Can't wait to continue following your adventures.
That’s so awesome to hear! We’re glad you found us too! Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on 100 K. We have been a sub for a year or so. Love the content and style. Watching this you gave are hometown a shoutout. Bellingham is home and we love it. We could see you guys fitting in here. Safe travels and enjoy Alaska!
We love Bellingham! One day! Thanks for watching!
I have been enjoying your adventures for over a year now. I always look forward to wherever you go next.. Congrats on 100,000 subscribers. That's over 3x the number of people who live in my hometown.
Wow! It’s pretty crazy to us too! Thanks, Ryan!
You two are straight up honest and eventually you two will be sitting back and waiting for 200 thousand subscribers keep on sharing your great adventures I know will always be great. I know thier is always a stress factor at times but don't let that deter you Adam and Kathryn
Thank you for watching and for your support!
Congrats on 100K! My wife and I LOVE you videos and appreciate the hard work involved. You have quickly become our "go to" channel and know its only a matter of time before you cross the 1M subscriber threshold!! Also we are travelling to Alaska in July and spending a month in a rented RV so we will be watching closely your adventures in Alaska. Thanks for inspiring us in so many ways!
That means a lot to us! Thanks for that comment and thanks for watching! We hope you have a great time in Alaska! If you see us say hi!
I just want both of you to know that I love watching your videos!!! It allows people like me to live vicariously through you. Neither of you deserve to be picked on, and of course it would affect you. I wish people would just be kind. That’s kinda a lost art. BE KIND people!!!! Love you guys!!! 🥰😘🥰
Thank you so much! ❤️💙
Wow, congratulations. I couldn't be more happy for you. Ignore the negative comments. I've watched a lot of travel videos and you guys are my favorite by far. I've built my van and I'm doing a few trips getting ready for retirement. I do videos on RUclips but they are very much a beginner. I'm learning a lot watching your excellent work and I feel like your a friend and not just another travel blogger. Keep up the great work and enjoy yourselves.
Thank you so much! We always look forward to reading your comments! Thanks for watching and for your support! And good luck with your channel!
This is the greatest! So happy for you two and continue to wish you all the best!
So happy for you both! Very well deserved & your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. I’m so excited for the Alaska videos!
Thank you so much! We’re excited too!
Thank you for creating these amazing travel videos and sharing this part of your life with us! We love your videos and your positivity and have used the incredible information you provide for our travels in the US. Stay positive and for anyone that makes negative comments, just feel sorry for them that they can’t be happy for you. Keep having fun!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! They mean a lot to us. And thanks for watching!
I started watching you guys during the pandemic and you really inspired me to travel to the US - something that never interested me before! One of my fav things about you is that you take the time to speak about the native history of the places you visit rather than gloss over.
Totally agree about van life in Europe - the windy little streets may not take well to a big ol’ van! When you do come back to Europe (and I’ve commented this before), you have to visit beautiful Wales 🏴!
That makes us feel really good to hear! We're glad we could inspire you to travel the US. There is so much diverse scenery and history in the US to see and learn about!
Wales is really really high on our list! We want to visit Snowdonia really bad (and tons of other places)! We're gonna need some help with pronouncing some of those place names though!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Snowdonia is beautiful, and you’ll have to visit Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch as a rite of passage to Wales! The south gets a bit overlooked but Brecon Beacons is luscious and green (highly recommend Llyn y Fan Fach) and Pembrokeshire is breath taking (home to the smallest city in the UK and birthplace of our patron saint, St David’s). Of course we also have tons of mining history and lots and lots of very cute sheep! I have no doubt you guys will love it here and your videos will do us justice! And now back to binge watching the Alaska Highway vlogs 😄
Congrats on 100K!! I usually save your videos for Saturday mornings which is a nice way to start the weekend with my coffee! I enjoy traveling to incorporate my photography and I have found your videos a good resource to get some great photography opportunities. So thanks for sharing your adventures! I also have to say, I really enjoy your descriptive food commentary. It makes me think more about what I eat.
Thanks so much, Jeff! We have a lot of fun with our food descriptions 😊 Our number one goal is to be helpful so we love when we hear that we can be a resource! 👍
So happy for you guys! Subscribed at around 4200 subscribers and have been enjoying the adventures since then. You’ve inspired us to explore more of the country and we look forward to each weeks episode. Congratulations on the success and can’t wait to see what’s to come.
Wow! Thank you for sticking with us! And thank you for your support! ❤️💙
It was the KONA CAM that got you over the 100k mark!!! A big congratulations to both of you…..BEST channel on RUclips!!!!!
I think you got that right! 😂
Thank you and thanks for all your questions!
I really enjoyed this Q&A! Helped me feel like I know you better. Enjoyed the Montana de Oro story - not because of what happened - but because we live about 1/2 hour from there in Pismo Beach, California. I have been watching your videos since you came through here on your way to Alaska - and haven't missed a video since. Look forward to Sunday mornings when you post a new video. Plus - have gone back and watched earlier videos - I LOVED your trip through Italy!! All that said - I was sad to hear that some people leave negative comments, SHAME ON THEM! You guys are so much fun - so upbeat - so joyful and excited about the places you go - and the FOOD! : ) I consider your channel at the very top of the best channels on RUclips. Your photography is AMAZING, and your content is always interesting , informative and well edited., i Sorry to go on - but you two are a RUclips treasure. Love you guys. ❤
Hey Chris! Yeah that Montana de Oro story is funny to laugh back at now lol. The negative comments are a bummer, but thankfully 99.9% are very nice and positive.
Thank you so much as always!
Congrats on 100K guys! You have one of my favorite channels and have been a big motivator for me getting out and hiking in the national parks.
Thank you so much! ❤️
congratulations to you both!!! What a huge achievement in just a few years! You guys are my FAVORITE youtube account, I've used your videos to plan several trips- they are so informative, well organized, you guys do such a great job presenting facts, and the videography and editing skills are wonderful! Such a shame that people can be so negative on the internet, but keep your head high because it's obvious there are thousands of people who absolutely love your content and keep coming back for more! I have a typical 9-5 job so it's also fun to watch you guys travel to these amazing places- I am typically able to take about 1 trip a year but am always planning "future trips" on word documents and my heart aches for the next time I'm able to travel, and can't wait to someday see these places you guys have been to! I have to say I really love these Q&A videos too, so nice to get to know you both a bit better and I hope you do more Q&A's in the future! I'm so looking forward to some upcoming Canada and Alaska content! All the best, from another Kathryn (we spell our name the RIGHT way, eh? haha 😆 )
Our number 1 goal is to be helpful and it makes us really happy to know when we are!
We are so happy to share our adventures and q&a’s as well!
And yes I was going to say you spell your name the right way if you didn’t hahah!
Thank you for your kind comment and for watching!
Please ignore the hurtful RUclips comments. My wife and I have been following you guys for over 2 years now and when we moved to Austin, Texas we found your videos on the area so helpful! I wish you all the success you can imagine!
Thanks, y'all!
Congratulations on 100K. 4 months late, buy hey... Keep going. It's 125K today, and more to come.👍
Huge Congrats Adam & Kathryn (and Kona)!!! 🥳 Discovered your channel as our family started to travel more with our kids to National Parks. We (my kids included) love your fun, positive, and quality content. Makes my kids more excited to travel, even when mom & dad want to hike more than they do! 😉 Keep up the great work and content, but as you said, please take time to rest & enjoy yourselves as well. All the best with your 2022 travels! 🚗🌻🦌🌲🌊
Thank you so much! We’re so
Glad we can be helpful and an inspiration. Thanks for watching!
