      Allison! Thank you for the beautiful video -- worth the wait and can't wait for the one about your trip to Africa! I am planning a road trip to New Foundland and Labrador, and Joshua Tree (watched your joshua tree video several times to get tips).

    I was thrilled to see this vlog pop up! While originally from Maine, I absolutely love vacationing there and am so happy to see it featured on your channel as I have been greatly inspired by your vlogs. My family has gone in the summer for the past 15 years (we were just there for the fourth) and I go to school in Naples, Florida, so the area really holds a special place in my heart!

    Love your videos Allison! Just wish they were a little longer. This one felt a little rushed (almost like you felt like you had to get the sponsored content out asap). I'm sorry I don't mean to be critical. I love your videos and would just like to spend more time with you on your adventures!!😁😁💜

  • @AlaraHoop
    @AlaraHoop Год назад

    I grew up in Ft. Myers! This was so fun to see. My dad was a boat captain that took folks out on tours and to some of the boat-only accessible islands. Highly recommend sunset dolphin tours! So glad you made it to the Edison-Ford Estate--such a cool area. I hope you're able to make it back to Florida some time. I went to college in Tampa which is only a couple hours North of Ft. Myers and St. Pete beaches are lovely. Great Cuban food. There are also some gorgeous natural springs to kayak. A few hours South you can see Miami and go to the Everglades and Keys. You should definitely, definitely go see the Everglades at some point! I've been within feet of an alligator down there and the wildlife is so cool to see.

    Hi!!! I’m so with you on Paddle Boards. I live in Florida near Tampa and much rather sit than stand. Standing up is good if wanting to see something specific just due to a vantage point, BUT sitting is so much more Chillaxin!

  • @havefaithtarot
    @havefaithtarot Год назад +1

    My first thought when seeing your thumbnail was “oh, shit.. alligators!” But manatees seem pretty cool to see.

  • @rivchick
    @rivchick Год назад

    You forgot the AHMAZING shelling (collecting shells). Nothing like it!!! And that the water is warmish in parts of the water because you are on the Gulf of Mexico and when the two meet it creates the change in temp. Also there are a ton of “noseeums” which are basically a cross between a Miskito and a sand flea and the best thing to use to keep them from biting is skin so soft from Avon. Hahaha I love Florida so very much but captiva and Sannibel have a piece of my heart

    Hello Allison!! I love your videos. I even made a reaction video on your Germany video and I hope that you watch it as I gave you a great kudo. I am from Florida originally and glad that you made it there. I love swimming with the manatees in Jan when it is really cold but you see so many manatees. If you are ever in Florida and would like to swim with the manatees I will be more than happy to show you around. I love Sanibel, Ft. Meyers, and the Captiva Islands. Sanibel Island is where my wife and I had our honeymoon fifteen years ago. BTW, you have amazing video and drone work skills. Thanks for sharing and have safe travels :).

    I hate sitting cross legged on a paddle board 😅 I feel like I don’t get enough leverage to paddle (I’m also petite so that may have something to do with it). I don’t mind sitting up on my knees though. I also like standing too, but I’ll sit if I’m feeling lazy 😅
