- While the world is in disarray and I look on from afar, like everyone else, I've been at home looking back, trying to look forward. I recognise the privilege I have to even have room to reflect on how far I’ve come - so hello, welcome to my glorified home video that I hope you enjoy and maybe get something from. Also happy 27 years to me ha.

Ah your storytelling with narration and old footage is so so good! So genuine and grounded.
AH thanks Hannah :')
I see in the future you Will be silent hiker, just like what Hannah and Kraig doing. Love it
Agreed. So good...
Yeah, I mastered a number of things to my personal satisfaction on my obscure RUclips journey but this sort of narrative from collected footage or a framed narrative was something I never got to.
Still bugs me 🤔😁
"While the world is in disarray and I look on from afar, like everyone else, I've been at home looking back, trying to look forward." This is so strong and relatable.
This was a really, really, great video. You've got a great storytelling ability.
How dare you make me cry, this was absolutely beautiful I can't tell you how much you've inspired me.
You are one of the best visual story tellers on the world! Love everything you make 🥰🥰
This is not just a compliment...it is the truth. She is not only mechanically good at her craft, she also pulls from her human experiences and uses the entire world as her story board. It's a gift not just to her, but to all who are fortunate enough to experience her creativity.
I'm so hungover and have zero energy to do anything therefore I've spent the past few hours refreshing my RUclips home page desperately hoping to land on a great piece of content that would hopefully make me feel better and dare I say maybe even make me feel inspired! Ladies, gents and everyone in between, I have finally done just that ✨
Had a little cry, I miss home so much. I'll be back eventually Aotearoa 🇳🇿🇳🇿
Why am I in tears at the end? God, you're good. Glad you popped back up!!
I am so glad I found your channel. Your cinematography, narration and editing are just phenomenonal. Never seen anything quite as special as your stories. Thanks for sharing
When it comes down to it, leaving home and experiencing all these new things just allows us a new perspective into what we took for granted - sometimes it's just what you need to break apart and stay away, sometimes it helps you appreciate what you had even more, enough to come back with a fresh mind.
As with every single one of your videos, amazing amazing amazing!!! You invoke such emotion and raw feeling. Thank you for your this and please keep them coming. Hope you're keeping safe 😁
Great home movie. I am impressed by how much footage you've saved over the years just to be able to share it. Awesome. Also I love sincerity and not-acted sound of your voice in the nararation.
Once again, I am blown away by your talent for storytelling. Your videos are truly incredible - watching them makes me feel so inspired and hopeful. Thank you for making them, Elina
Just learned a new word. Aotearoa. What the native Maori called their island, New Zealand. Great video. Come back and visit us. California.
Yeah that’s what us Māori and also some Kiwis call our home country. Which in English translates into ‘Land of the long white cloud’. Our people are very spiritual, like most other natives around the world.
Every time I watch one your of RUclips videos I am just so inspired. Elina you really have a talent for what you do. I hope you never stop!
You are the best visual storyteller on RUclips. Amazing video.
Only those who wander know the true meaning of home.
It's not always a place, it's not always the people, it's not always the same, but the feeling you get when you are there, or when you know you are finally going home, is unlike any other.
I hope you get a chance to wander far and wide again (and I hope I do too ;-) ) so that you can once again experience the feeling of going home.
One of my favourite songs is by Dire Straits, called Going Home. It was played on the aircraft as we boarded - 2 days after my release from hospital - the memory of it can still make me cry. I arrived in the middle of winter wearing just a t-shirt. I didn't feel the cold or the wind or the rain. All I felt was the joy of finally being home.
I'm glad you're back here, safe and sound, and telling your stories. I look forward to some more of your adventures ;-)
I'm an import to Colorado, moved here three years ago. And it still feels like a dream and a blessing to wake up in this amazing place and call it home. You perfectly described the excitement, beauty, and joy of this glorious state. Thank you for continuing to story-tell!
You tell stories with a big ❤. Stay well.
Your videos are thoughtful, introspective, and a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing, and taking us on your adventures.
Your storytelling and editing is next level. Making me cry onto my pizza Monday evening is a job well done. 👏🏼 👏🏼
You are such a beautiful storyteller! Please never stop.
Fifty years ago in NYC I the best man at the wedding of Jim & Vi Turnbull from Wellington. There were working and traveling their way around the world. This wanderlust is a glorious Kiwi affliction. NZ is the most glorious place in the world. Make your home base there and travel too. Your openness is why you meet such great people everywhere and keep talking about it and what you are feeling and how you are growing. Many happy returns...... Michel Pariseau Haddam Neck CT
Found you by chance... Love what you do, and how you do it! You mix verbal with visual perfectly. You're a treasure, thank you.
Crying. Just a beautiful video. So heartfelt and true.
More than anything, your love of life and joyful energy to go where your heart calls you to go shouts to our soul! You remind us of what being fully human looks and feels like. Much love to you, Elina.
While I was watching, I was thinking,”you are one hell of a great story teller.” Thanks for sharing.
I'm having a little cry with my morning coffee. This was beautiful. Happy 27 years indeed, Elina!
Dammit Elina i love and hate your videos! it's not right to feel this nostalgic on a monday. and never before have i felt more grateful to be living in this beautiful country, and more home sick for my own place of birth. Bloody good job! Keep it up!
I’m an Australian who fell in love with Denver and Colorado as well. Lived there 2006-2009. Consolidated my love of hiking ❤️. Will always have a piece of my heart. I came home to Oz because of the GFC, met and married my kiwi husband.
Elina you are a natural at storytelling and documenting. Thank you for taking us along with you.
You good soul you ... loved this too- Being a Kiwi myself who lived in NY for 16 years & now in Europe for 3 ... it’s easy to see this & have my heart strings get pulled by a national feeling of ‘belonging’.
That is absolutely beautiful Elina. ❤️
I think Adobe owes a thank you unto you for funding what turned out to be a 12 minute creative explosion!
Glad you made it home.
Me: liking before I watched the video also commenting before too and loving you videos and getting in the first five comments
Great video. There is nothing as good as NZ. As a kiwi living in Australia for the last 21 years I still love being back there. You have a great talent at video production and story telling. Keep it up.
Brilliant,Elina. I loved it!!!
You’re so ridiculously talented. Was so stoaked to see this posted! Beautiful. 💕
so well put together, moved me to tears actually! love it & love your channel!!
I hope you find many stories to tell. Not sure if there is any limit on your ability to touch us emotionally. I smile, shed a few tears and always feel awed by your camera work and editing. Big screens await you.
1. How the hell so you have such incredible footage of everyone?!? That’s so impressive considering how long ago this was!
2. As a girl who did your journey (NZ-NYC) but in reverse from small town PA to NZ alone, girl I relate to your journeys. Sad I missed meeting you on the PCT, looks like I’ll be a few years from now until I start that journey (which I call my great goodbye to the US)!
Elina you truly are a master at story telling! PLEASE keep sharing your awesome talent with us.
This was so moving. Thank you for sharing your art. You have a gift.♥️
Always been a fan of yours and always will be. Keep telling stories.❤️
Such a nice home video!
Happy birthday, Elina 😉
This is a phenomenal video! So satisfying in every way to see parts of the world I'm loving and missing, thank you for sharing your travels!!!
Incredible film Elina, loved binge watching your trail series so was happy to have your beautiful way of editing and storytelling back in my life! X
This was phenomenal! Thank you so much! I can only imagine the amount of time this takes to put together.
Your filmmaking and story telling are so on point! Always love to see another piece of your work pop up. This is what you were born to do. ❤️
Another well made film- editing, filming, and choice of music all excellent.
Just stumbled across this video and loved it. I'm a kiwi who moved away at 21 with a wandering lust to see the world. Miss NZ like crazy.
You have such a fantastic ability to give your stories a soul. I can't wait to see what you produce next.
A sense of nostalgia and an ache in my heart for things that I long for.. thanks for posting this video. beautiful.
simply beautiful!
Your storytelling is magical Elina. Thank you, for again, sharing your world with us.
It makes my heart long for more and feel very full at the same time.
Just a little thank you, your videos always makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. kiss from France!
You are a true artist - loved it in every way!
Beautiful. I had missed your videos. The scenery in NZ looks amazing!
Elina. Greetings from the UK. I just watched your film. Wow. That is a tour de force. Bloody fantastic. It made me tingle. The single best film I’ve watched on YT this year. Thanks so much for you. David x
Ah another tearjerker! ❤️ Your films always leave me smiling and crying at the same time. Such a good feeling. And what a fantastic message - don’t take what we have for granted
Another amazing film Elina. You have a great way of editing your old footage so it feels intentional and like were there. please keep it up. cant wait to see what you come up with next
You are an artist! Thank you for this beautiful homage to home.
Beautiful, just beautiful.. had to watch it twice.. your voice is so calming.. 🌹
Wow, your an amazing story teller thru this medium. I loved every single second of your beautiful journey. Amazing!!!
Worth the wait. Real quality stuff, Elina, both your narration and editing. I clicked on as soon as I saw it. Can't wait for more chronicles.
How brave to go to NYC! I don't think I would have been able to do it even back then. I'm 76.
Colorado is nice because of the people. I'm originally from the east coast but after the initial homesickness, I am happy here.
Really great job putting this video together. Absolutely great stuff!
Amazing, powerful message Elina. Thank you for sharing x
Absolutely loving your videos! This one is fantastic and gives so much perspective. Thank you very much!
I really really like all your videos ! Thank you so much for sharing all this with us ☺️. In France we have beautiful lands waiting for you to be hiked too!

This video was absolutely beautiful! amazing story with stunning visuals ❤️🤙
Elina, I knew I would love it before watching. I couldn’t help but notice your mother really, really was happy to see you again. You should include her in one of your next projects. I can see a series of shorts “Cooking with me mum”. There’s a lot of meat (veggie meat) on that bone. Just say’n.
Thank you for these wonderful little tidbits.
Haha veggie meat, love it. A series with okaasan would be so great :')
I was actually excited when I saw your face this morning....I knew this was going to be cool....what can I say Elina...you didnt disappoint....another great vid...thx for sharing...I love everything about you films...love your voice / narration....looking forward to the next adventure...stay safe & happy !!!

Beautiful storytelling and cinematography.
Came to watch a beautifully made and inspiring film. Exactly what I got. Such an incredible film and Love Story. Thanks Elina.
Felt like a treat to see a new video from both you and mari today! Thank you 💜😊
This is so beautiful! I love the John Lucas song you included. So well put together and a joy to watch. Thanks for being you and for sharing your adventures!
Gold. You live the kinda life we can only dream of. Thank you for sharing it.
I saw that you posted a new video, saw the thumbnail and gave it a like without knowing what I was about to watch. I knew it wouldn't disappoint me, and it didn't disappoint SO MUCH! Thank you very much for sharing your story!
I left NZ 7 years ago and this hits home for me, right in the heart.
Ah so good! Such beautiful words too x
Spectacular film. Lesson I learned, never take normality for granted.
Great to see you back again. Love your music choices too, need to check out your full playlist. Stay safe and healthy. Thanks for the taking us along on your journey(s)

Once again ,, an amazing production of a journey around the lands and touching the hearts of all you meet ,, Thank You Elina ,, the emotions are stirred so wildly....
.. .. . Stay Safe and God Bless .....
I always enjoy your productions and your perspectives. Well done! I visited New Zealand two years ago and fell in love with your country while poking around in a campervan. You have something really special there. I'm also glad you liked your time in my own home town of Denver! Keep going on your adventures and telling your stories. You have a real talent.
