Top 3 reasons I love watching A + K:
1. I love your adventurous spirit in everything you do.
2. I love seeing the joy as you experience new things.
3. I love the variety of thing you guys do. (hikes, bikes, boats, backpacking, history, food, sunsets.... )
Thanks for a great year of adventures! Looking forward to watching in 2023.
❤
Thank you so much, Carol! 💗💗
It was soooo nice to hear you say that Nebraska was one of your biggest surprises! As a lifelong Nebraskan, it's not often we hear about our state as a positive. We're really proud of our state - but we also know that it's not for everyone!!
There's so much beauty and things to see and do there! The people who hate on it haven't seen what we saw!
Used to live in Lincoln. I have to say, I enjoyed my time there, I miss the people the most. Good people.
As someone who lives in the Central California area (Lompoc) I am honored you love the area so much! May your travels lead you back to enjoy more! I myself was very impressed by your 2022 travels and I hope to go back someday to Oklahoma and visit some of the places you explored!
Central California is spectacular! We're very excited to return again one day! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I've been a fan since I discovered you in 2020. All your hard work is a real gift to the world. Thanks for giving us access to such amazing locations. I love the mix of history, geography, and food. You shine!
Thank you so much, Kristen! 💗
Just watched so many of your videos and u guys are so GREAT. Have a great 2023 enjoy the year!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
13:42 this hike through these caves freaked us out!….on to the video! ~Cara 😊
It freaked me (Adam) out too!
Thanks for all the great videos this year. Can’t believe you’ve never been to my home state (Mass.). In mid April you can catch the revolutionary battle re-enactments. ❤❤ for all the sweet moments.
We won't be there quite that early, but that would be fun to see!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
We are watching right now. Thank you for the wonderful year of adventures. You two are great!
My boyfriend and I first discovered your RUclips channel because of your visit here locally in Pismo, and we've been watching ever since! Here's to a new year with great content and I hope you guys come back to the Central coast soon!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the 2022 travels! Looking forward to watching you in 2023.

I just wanted to say Happy Holidays again and it’s so crazy you make a video today since I was just thinking about you guys!
Thanks for thinking about us and watching our videos! We hope you had a happy holiday as well!
What a year you three have had!! So happy for you guys, that you were finally able to make it to Alaska AND the Arctic Ocean! You guys are great. Thank you for every single video and article you create. Think I've been a subscriber since 2020 and constantly find myself coming back to your videos and articles (hope you are able to put together some posts for Wisconsin on your website soon ☺). Watching your channel grow each year has been a blessing. Keep going, you're doing AMAZING. Cheers to another incredible year in 2023. And maybe please come back to Wisconsin for Kopp's frozen custard and Austin-fave Summer Moon in Kenosha! 😍
There's a Summer Moon in WISCONSIN?! We had no idea! They're actually in many states now...what the heck! We love when our favorite places grow, but dang, we loved it was a special treat when we came home. Oh well....it's so dang good! We remember going to their original locations here in Austin not too long ago.
We'd love to come back to Wisconsin! It was awesome up there!
Thank you so much for your support by watching, commenting, and visiting our website! It means a lot to us!
I love your end of the year reviews! ✨️ What an amazing year you guys had! Thank you for bringing us along!!!
Thanks so much and thank you for watching!

Great recap of your 2022 travels-makes me realize I have some catching up to do on your 2022 stops.
Absolutely wonderful!
We enjoyed the recap! AWESOME!!!!!! Blessings for 2023!
Thanks, Joyce!
Great video and it was fun looking back on 2022. So many great adventures and places to eat. Have a blessed year and safe travels in 2023.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Love your recap of 2022. I know a lot of work goes in to what you do and I thank you for taking me on your journeys. I love that you include the journey, parks and hiking, AMAZING photos / scenery, history, experiences, urban and rural cultural actives and food...and of course your quirky dances. How you get all of that in to one amazing video each week amazes me! Kuddos to you. Because of you two, I now take my grandsons hiking and LOVE it. I am a fellow Texan but looks like I'm going to be checking out our neighboring Oklahoma! Happy New Year - I'm excited for your overseas journeys. Can't wait to see where you are going. Safe travels in 2023!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Elizabeth! That's awesome to hear you take your grandsons hiking! OK is definitely worth a visit!
Thanks for watching and happy New Year!
Great year you guys had and it was so fun watching you do it! You both enjoy the same activities and are so respectful of one another that it is a joy to see. You are among my top RUclips channels and very inspirational. I live in Northern California and I’m so fortunate that I’m here so many of the amazing parks that you talked about as your top choices I was able in my Solis van to get to eight of the national parks this summer, including Utah’s mighty five, crater lake, and channel island. My goal is to get them all if possible. I wish I was young enough to do the backpacking and high mountain hikes that you do. looking forward to seeing all your adventures next year.
You live in an epic area! We're excited to get back there one day to explore more. Good luck with all your adventuring. Thank you for your kind comment and thank you so much for watching and supporting us!
Thank you for your videos. They always help when I am planning trips!
That's awesome to hear! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Cheers to 2023!!! 🥂🎉
So happy you included these epic bloopers! WHERE DID THE YEAR GO? We’ve watched every episode of the journey and can’t believe how time has flown! Thank you for taking us along to these incredible places! Happy New Year looking forward to where you will bring us next! ~Cara 😊
This year blew by! Thank you guys so much for watching and for your kind comments! They mean a lot to us! 💗💗
Happy New Year!! My son and I have loved following along with you on all your adventures this past year and are excited to see what you have planned for 2023 ❤
Thank you both so much for watching!
This is terrific! I probably think that because we lived on the Central CA coast for 20 years, we now live in Bend, and we honeymooned on Vancouver Island. Thank you for taking us back to all these wonderful places.
Oh man those are 3 epic places! Can't get enough of them! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for taking us along on this years trip. I remember at the beginning of the year hoping that you guys would go to Alaska this year and when you did you didn’t disappoint. Your videos are awesome and continue to get better. I can’t believe I’ve been watching since you had around 4000 subscribers and now you’re over 100k and growing fast!
Can’t wait to see how you’re going to top 2022 but hopefully you can keep to the non-traditional locations as I think this is what really makes your videos so unique.
Oh wow! Thanks for sticking with us for so long! That means a lot to us.
We're very excited for '23. We've got a lot of fun stuff planned!
I love how much your Nebraska trip came up here
Nebraska really surprised us! There is tons to see and do there! Thanks for watching, Kevin!
Oh my the places we have enjoyed thanks to all your hard work. But the best part is the fun and joy that you guys experience and shine forth for all of us to see. Thanks so much for being who you are and for all you do and allowing us to share so much with you. Many blessings for peace, love, fun, and adventure in 2023.
We're lucky and thankful we get to do what we do and are able to share it with others! Thanks so much! Happy New Year!
Discovered you two earlier this month, & have been binging ever since! It's like re-living my marriage: he was 5 years older, we had a dog, lived on the Kenai Peninsula for awhile, then the high desert of CA, had a camper & traveled the country to Maine & back. After 10 years of marriage & me turning 30, we figured it was time for kids, so we had 3 in 4 years! It's the most personal decision ever, & those 1st 10 years of travel were great -- however, now looking back from almost 70, the most spectacular destination was ... parenthood. And, p.s., there's no "perfect time". Looking forward to more of your adventures, whatever they may be! 😉
Oh how crazy! It's funny how people can follow similar life paths! We still torn on parenthood and yes there is no "perfect time", but we're sure that now is not the right time. Thanks so much for watching!
Happy new year!! Hope 2023 brings y’all even more adventure! My husband and I finally moved to Bend and love it so far! We can’t wait to explore this city more and go to other areas close-ish by!
Oh that's so awesome!
So glad you found some gems up in our area! My husband and relocated to Redding, CA from Sacramento about 10 years ago. We love our small town and enjoy so many of the outdoor adventures that are here or very close by! Hope you come back soon!!
What a freakin FUN year!! I'm happy for you two. Thanks for taking us along... looking forward to next adventures with A+K.
It sure was a fun and epic year! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Wow. Such an amazing story of your adventures. You guys are the best. Love this. ❤️
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Looking forward to next year's adventures, dancing, pillowy bread, coffee & gelato. Happy New Year!
We're very excited as well! Thank you and happy New Year!
Excellent recap video. There really were so many great things and places you visited this year so I know it was hard to pick your favorites. Happy New Year and safe travels in 2023.
This year was jam packed! Thanks and thanks for watchin!
I have really enjoyed being able to experience your travel adventures through your vlogs! I always enjoy your videos. You guys are awesome!! I'm looking forward to your adventures in 2023!!! Thank you for the recap!!!
That means a lot to us! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Glad to see you folks got back home safe recently. I'm behind on the Alaska videos.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures this past year. It was amazing to follow your travels to Alaska and see the wild animals, beautiful mountains and glaciers, and historic sites. Your stops in the lower 48 on your way home have given us ideas of places to visit (we live in Missouri). Thanks for all your hard work. Your videos are top notch! (PS We're going to Hawaii in February so I've been reading your travel blog and watching older videos. Thanks.)
We're thankful and grateful we get to do what we do and are able to share our adventures for others to enjoy! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Ooooo! We are very jealous of that trip! We hope our posts are helpful and if you have any questions, please send us an email!
Such an epic year y’all had!! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. 💛 You always know how to capture a place’s gems while also giving the best tips! I love that you dedicated a portion of this video to ice cream. Fellow ice cream connoisseur over here. 👋🏼😉
Happy New Years!! 🥳 Enjoy your well deserved break. I look forward to watching your adventures in 2023! ✈️
It was an epic year! We are lucky and thankful we get to do so much and can share it for others as well! Ice cream will always be a big part of our channel! 😋
We're stoked for '23! Thanks and thanks for watching, Kassidee!
You all did have such a great year! There were so many amazing things. 👏 I love that you put Pinnacles in there! High Peaks is one of my favorites as well 😃 I hope you all have a wonderful new year, and look forward to your travels.
Pinnacles is awesome! Thank you!
It was great to meet you guys in Alaska. I agree with the Yukon being an amazing place. What a great year watching your adventures.
It was great meeting you as well! We're still dreaming of the Yukon! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Amazing recap, we added so many of those destinations to our travel map now. We are headed to do a simlar route up CA this coming spring so this was a great reminder of those spots from your other videos. Now back to rewatch the Redding one after this one. Have an amazing 2023- Kyle & Michelle.
We hope y'all have a great trip! Thanks and thanks for watching, Kyle and Michelle!
Just finished watching all 66 episodes of 2022 (spread over a couple weeks) and enjoyed them all. What an undertaking to spend the whole year on a single trip. All were wonderful but the trip to the Arctic Ocean was something else! Really appreciate all the hiking you do and scenery you show.
Thank you so much for watching, Pete! The Arctic Ocean is definitely a trip we'll never forget!
Skimmed through your 2022 collage and found the Bloopers at the end. With winter still here, I can take extra time on snowy days to enjoy your trip. Hope your holidays were great. Rest up, enjoy family times, and I'll see you next year. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Thanks, John!
Wahoo.. Nebraska !!
Also Channel Islands is one of my favorites.. great camping and hiking.
Thanks for the recap, I have enjoyed your adventures and well done, fun videos.
Thanks so much!
We have followed along your whole Alaska trip and loved every bit. We use your videos as a resource for our own travel too. Thank you for everything you do for us travellers.
That's awesome to hear! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I used to live in the OKC area and I miss Cafe Kacao SO MUCH. Nothing beats it and I’m so happy to see that you all enjoyed it and all the other yummy food in Oklahoma 💗
Cafe Kacao is amazing! We're still dreaming of it!
Merry Christmas, God bless your adventures! Keep up the good work....have fun with family!!!!!!!!!!
Have enjoyed watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Hi Kathryn and Adam, happy new year 2023 to you! Health and safe travels for this new year. Thanks for this year of experiences and discoveries, and also thanks again for your tips on travels, we really enjoyed spots you mentioned in your vlogs during our trip in the US/Canada :D
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Absolutely loved “going along” on your adventures! Been taking notes about all the hiking spots as my husband and I love to hike. Thank you for sharing.
That's awesome! Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Kona’s Favorites please !!! Great recap to a great year. Safe travels 2023 y’all ❤️
Glad to see your support of my home town, SLO. It is a great place to live. Happy you experienced it.❤
We loved our time in SLO! Can't wait to come back!
Loved the light saber fight! Can't wait for next year. Take care of yourselves. Don't burn out.
That was fun to put together! 😂 Thanks for watching!
Great show guys. Happy New Year to you.
Thank you and thanks for watching! Happy New Year!
Can’t wait!
I love that y'all picked the Central Coast/Pismo as your favorites as I grew up there. It is my absolute favorite place ever!!! Love watching you guys!!!
It's an amazing spot! Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas to you both.
A & K, THANK YOU for all the inspiration to LIVE life to the fullest, NOT be afraid and to adventure full-heartedly into the unknown. We are finally finishing our van since purchased 9/2020, working full-time then, and now finally retired just this year, we discovered you when you were building your van and have followed you since. Thank you for being such shining examples of how to live your dreams. We look forward to retracing your footsteps, travels, hikes AND delicious discoveries!! We truly love you two. Happy travels and seriously, THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
Oh that's so awesome! Y'all are ready to hit the road it sounds like! We hope y'all love it as much as we do!
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind comment! 💗💗
Wow… what an adventure you three have had this past year!! Such great scenery, such great filming and editing and we can’t forget all the great food…coffee, ice cream, tacos and on and on..Really enjoyed following along with you…what a great year..thanks!!!
Thanks, Michael!
Your videos are so beautiful. I could look at them over and over. Happy New Year.
💗💗
What a great year, I am looking forward to what is coming next.
Thanks, Dave! We are too!
Agreed, best day trip - Pismo Beach in our backyard & frequent it regularly. Last week - Monarch Butterfly Grove with thousands migrating this time of year. Come back for another visit!
You mentioned my town, Redding, several times. I probably take our area for granted. It is beautiful. Loved all your adventures in 2022. Gave me some great ideas for 2023. Thank you for sharing.
We really loved that area! We're glad we could share our adventures and inspire others! Thanks and thanks for watching!
