ABOUT US: We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic.
The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.
ST THOMAS: Can you travel to the Virgin Islands on a Budget? video here: ruclips.net/video/ji3ddICrSOA/видео.html
Do you have a link to this AirBNB
Last time I was there, which has been 3 times since my dad died on the island in 1990, one of my childhood friends slept on his couch and let me have his master bedroom. I gave him $400 for the week I was there, but he spent it on me, at least with the ganja he gave me that he has grown since the 1980s. I'm not sure where that particular "The Back Yard" is on STJ, but during the 1980s my father owned the St. John Pub that was in the old one story shack that was at the end of the dock, we used to go over on Saturdays from STT and have lunch at the old "The Back Yard". It was a dingy sailor/handyman bar/restaurant with a couple entrances that led to a partially covered inner court with a second floor walkway with tables on it around the edges and lots of bushes and trees, that we always got prompt like-family service at.
@@johnphantom The restaurant they visited is named Skinny Legs
Do you realize we are still in a pandemic???? And some of us need more content to watch....keep them coming plz!!!! You guys are way better than Netflix!
Had me in the first half ngl
I like seeing fellow Americans visit the territories to see for themselves how America stretches far beyond the east and west coast of the lower 48. They can seem like foreign countries, so a trip there can become an educational one of how each became a part of America. Hope you get to visit them all!
I’m getting married on St John in Feb 2022. This was very helpful to give me a feel of the island. I can’t wait! Thank you!
The snorkeling footage was sooooo good, guys! Loved it! I feel like your videos just get better every week! :)
Thankyou for another awesome virtual escape! Great editing, especially loved the snorkelling with turtles 🐢
I lived on st john for two years before i moved back to washington state. I really miss the place and this video just reminded me to never take anything for granted, and all of the good memories I had there.
Your husband doing the turtle voice...lmao hilarious! "Keep your dog away from me". Hahahaha
shhhh dont give all the good spots away
Omg the donkeys and your laugh had us in stitches on the couch, great video guys !
We love you videos. Wife and I found them as we look into a trip to St. Croix and enjoy how you are real about travel. Love your humor and realistic approach.
Another great video. I loved seeing you both traverse the island and the resident wildlife and Pepper is just so cute. Thanks Fin and Tim.
Awesome video! It's so fun watching your videos! Hansen Bay reminded me of some of the beautiful beaches in Hawaii that I made a few vlogs on too. Love the turtle shots! Excited to see more
Great video!! The beaches looked wonderful! And the snorkeling looked great too!!!
Oh my Gooood! I'm sooo jealous.. This place looks so beautiful! Thank you for a great vlog..
lol ... That intro though! 😅 That bees nest is amazing! - Trevor
Love St. John! Been going there for over 15 years. Part time teacher ranger and studied ancient history-great for history buffs!
This was awesome, I went to St. Thomas last year about 2 weeks after you all left. On our trip to St. John to snorkel it rained on and off all day. But it was still warm and it would only rain for 10 minutes and stop. Great day with beautiful bright yellow sea turtles. Magnificent place
Randomly ran into your video and now fans! Thanks for sharing your candid travel videos with your baby, we'll be following you from now on!! Buena suerte siempre!!!
I appreciate the new behind the scenes. Good and bad. I’m at home come complain lol. It’s nice to hear that even perfection ( what likes perfect and amazing) is not always perfect. Thanks you guys!
Amazing video as always I just got back from Puerto Rico where I’m from and it was spectacular hopefully you guys get to visit in the future.
New sub....I love that you travel with your fur baby, when you can!!!!! You both are adorable and make me want to travel to all these places! Keep up the great work!!!!!! Love from chilly Maine XOXO
Tim & Fin: It’s so crazy because I randomly watched Fin’s video for Mexico City before traveling there last month (thank you for all the recommendations!! - we tried many) and now I’m headed to USVI and I randomly found this video! Haha y’all are amazing!
my FAVORITE travel spot! cant wait to go back!
Love this video. I'm visiting again in a couple weeks. The Cayman Island has a lot of turtles too.
My wife and I watched your video it was fun to watch and nicely done thank you you two are amazing people.
This video was great. My husband and I are going in May. Can't wait to get there and explore the Island. This will be our first time there. Liked seeing the many things that you did.
my literal favorite spot to go since i’ve been 5.
Love your video! Been on most of the Carib. Islands on land vacations, STT & STJ probably 15 times; You could plant me on STJ, it's my favorite. Love that you can always find a beach if the conditions on the North Shore are poor, just head east!
Just retired and we have a 9 lb Havanese . Excited to find a channel that includes a travelling dog!
Love watching these videos. I learn so much about affordable travel! Now we just gotta get to all these places
Thanks for the comment guys! 🤗🤗
Wow ...Trunk Bay...probably one of the most beautiful beachs....Great video!!
Thank you! We would love to go back and spend the whole day there!
Was just there two weeks ago. Stayed in St. Thomas, but took the ferry over to St. John and went to Cinnamon Bay. Had wayyyyyy to many painkillers while I was out there haha. Snorkeling was awesome too. Saw Sea turtles, stingrays, and more. Can't wait to go back!
I busted out laughing when I saw donkeys in the road when I visited St John..the St.John safari tour bus driver stopped as the donkeys happily crossed the road. I could never forget my fabulous St.John taxi tour..I've eaten in some nice resturants there too
Y'all are so beautiful plus very informative...thanks for the thoroughness and also for the love...you not only show us detailed oriented footage, but also footage of a great modern marriage....love y'all!
I remember a cool open-air hamburger stand on one side of the island near the Salt Pond Bay. Cool to see this island again.
I was there probably a week or so before you. Sailed to Reef Bay. Sailing around St John better than driving for sure. Great video of my favorite place.
My wife and I were there in late February and stayed at The Hills in a nice Airbnb. We rented the owners Hummer, which was the one parked right outside your window 😆. Hansen beach was one of our favorites and “The Back Yard” at Skinny Legs restaurant was also great!
We are now binge watching all your videos 😄
awesome video!!! thank you so much for sharing your world and experience with us
Ive seen Big hermit crab race in st croix and protestant cay..ha!.. yes!.. the crabs wear a number...a whole heap of cheering, funny as heck!.. love from St.Croix
love the video! The name of the restaurant is actually Skinny Legs in Coral Bay St. John USVI which I love their burgers... thumbs up for sure.
The best place ever on St. John's was Caneel Bay Resort. Sadly destroyed by a hurricane it has yet to and may never recover and be a resort again. Taking a charter boat over to BVI and the Soggy Dollar Bar will get you a Pain Killer from where they all started. St. John's was my favorite Caribbean vacation ever.
That music transition below and above water was amazing!!
Love how accurate you made getting on the car ferry, complete chaos, 100% terrifying haha. I lived there for 10 years and worked at Skinnys, my old hula hoops are in the background of your Skinnys scene. Good stuff :)
I'm sure someone has commented but it's not the Backyard, it's Skinny Legs for painkillers
Hey Lindsay! I was going to say the same thing about Skinnys. 🌞
TERRIFIC vid! Heading to St John in July and loved your coverage. Can't wait to check out your other vids. New sub ;-)
Love the videos. Thank you. Hopefully visiting St John soon 🙏😀
a fantastic island i love it and cant wait to get back there
That’s my favourite part of your videos is seeing your adventures with pepper
St. John is paradise and so far my favorite place on earth.
great vid loved the sea turtle never seen the other fish swim on there back like that very cool. also I guess Pepper wants a Donkey now haha
Absulayely Winderful and Breathtaking Vlog love it asusual always the best 😍🥰 I ll must do watch full video after get home, sound like very interesting
So glad I found this video series! We are going in May. We just saw where BVI is opening Apr 15th as long as you have a vaccine. We already got ours! Can't wait to see Virgin Gordo Baths.
We used to live in an old sugar mill like that on the way to Galion above Soufriere in Dominica. My dad fixed it up and built a huge second floor loft and it was so lovely. Always cool and breezy inside. And we had donkeys: John Coltrane, Diana Washington, Gil Evans, and Lady Day. John Coltraine was a terrible biter! There were active fumeroles along the road and our lime estate was actually inside the crater of the third volcano!
Heading to St John in 3 weeks... this is awesome!
So Beautiful😍Definitely on my list!!!
Was just there and Maho beach is one of our favorites and we usually head there first so we can try to park and swim before the crowds start to come.
Great footage you guys!
"Okay bye spider, have a good day" 😂 Also aren't those male donkeys crazy! Loved the video and the real perspective of it all as always!
Bummed we just missed you there!
Hey guys, Tampa here, and traveling to the Eastern Caribbean next March for a "Island Hopping Cruise". out of SJU. Six islands in a week, so I will be literally hopping around. St. Croix is one, and the only island I have not traveled to is St. Kitts. Your videos are fun and helpful, accommodations and all the surroundings. Keep up your great videos and stay safe. I am vaccinated, and just rec'd my booster today. I'm on my way to a really fun packed trip. See you in your next video. Tampa
My husband and I love your videos!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ one small comment... could you please get a seat belt for pepper when she is in the scooters or even in the cars or RV.... you all are making me nervous 😬 Pepper is so sweet🐶
Loving this video and your “new” way of sharing all of the helpful details of your trip, not to mention super funny parts!!!
Please don’t change a thing we love you guys!
The husband and I are going to Saint Croix next month because of you! Cottages at the Sea here we come! ( I let them know we booked bc of y’all 😉)
Thank you 💁🏼♀️💕
Having a “bad RUclips day” and you just made my night! Thanks so much 🤗🤗☺️☺️ - Fin
Wow..the sea turtles babies crawl right up in the sand in front of cottages..I have picked them up and return them to the sea..you are going to have a fantastic time omg! All the street lamps are red at night to keep the babies from coming toward the land..its will be fantastic vlogging!
The Reef Bay trail is great …. But the hike back up is BRUTAL lol
Thank you for taking me to a place I will never get to go to..it was amazing 😁.. except for the spider..the water was beautiful and the sea life also..
Yes minus the spider! 😱
If y’all ever go back, hike rams head at salt pond. The most beautiful view on the island.
Btw, reef bay was one of the hardest hikes I’ve ever been on.
It is great that St. John has recovered after the devastation of hurricane Maria. Lime in the coconut is the best! Try hiking to Solomon and Honeymoon beaches.
Just got back from St. Thomas and St. John's. Very beautiful islands for sure.
St. John's is the capital of Antigua. St. John is one of the 3 major USVI.
Ive been waiting for this! I'm going down in 2 weeks!
Have a great trip! We definitely recommend that Hansen beach!
If you’ve never been before. I highly recommend. Been there a lot of times and is remarkable in its beauty and absolute amazing activities and scenery!
I didn't know about the national park there. Looks beautiful! My kids wanted to make sure I told you their favorite part of your videos is of course Pepper. 😍
😆🤗🐾🐶 Pep says hi! She’s making me throw a stuffed turtle back and forth over the pool today!
@@timandfin nice, kids say hi Pepper! Sounds like she is living the life.
We like traveling with our dog and cat! An adjustment but so worth it!
AWESOME VLOG!!! Thank You.....
I made sure it was at least noon..cool😍😍 Fin, You Crack me up
😂🥰
Thanks for the videos. Love em. I love to travel. Been Belize, Sweden, Denmark, Vietnam, Hawii. Bought your lightweight backpak. Interested on seconds.
I'm very picky as whose Channel to follow... after watching your USVI and Maui videos, I found myself in love with your journeys!! You 2 are a beautiful 👫 It's truly something special you can find a playmate in each other! 😍😍 I love the energy coming out of your videos and your journeys! Don't ever stop adventuring together!!! 💖
Today I subscribed to your channel AND ordered the typical blue backpack!! Can't wait to get it!! 😍
Ohhh about the comments on the age of the visitors, we observed the same, that we were the youngest on the island 🏝, with young kids in Jan when we visited 😀😄. Kids loved the wild donkeys on St John😍 our fav beach ⛱ in St John was Maho!
Welcome to Tripped!! 🤩🥳🥰
Great video you guys are so fun!
How long was your hike? Interested in elevation clime as well if you know? Thanks again great job 👍
Next time you need to hop across to the BVI!! So much more beautiful and unspoiled - especially Anegada, Virgin Gorda and Jost van Dyke. I do love St. John though!
Excellent video!
OMG ok the donkey and FIN...that made the entire video and my day ....and that rainbow!
😆😆
The donkey was the best part.
Cool video thanks for sharing
We used to collect the hermit crabs, paint their backs with different dots of colors and make a race track with books. My dad made a spinner and we'd have races with them and bet on who would win, usually with marshmellows! So fun! but let them go afterward and don't try to keep them overnight in a jar. They are cannibals and eat each other up. Only one will be left by morning, standing on the grizzly remains of the night and a lot of empty shells! We didn't know.
I'm 39 and I've been to St John 6 times, so it's definitely not just for people over 50.
yeah! :)
this comment made me turn off the video. It's stupid. They observed people over 50 there because we're in a pandemic and the people they're running into there are probably there for the winter/live there full time. Most of us are staying home and can't visit St john right now. I've been going since my 20s and it's a lot of people in their 30s (my age group).
I was supposed to go last summer... but was canceled bc of covid :(( we are planning to go back sometime this june and this video was great. it makes me very excited to go in june! keep up the great content :))
Enjoyed the video. I wish we had watched before we went to st john or we would have hit Hansen beach. We went to Trunk bay want got the last parking spot. We also took the car barge. It was packed like sardines both ways. The beaches on St John are extremely crowded right now and will probably be like that until the pandemic is over. The beaches on St Thomas are not nearly as crowded right now.
In STJ, check out my friends beach bar called at honeymoon bay, Sybille.
i went there in 2019 and it was amazing!!
Love love love your videos! So beautiful! Love that you take Pepper every where. Can you tell me what sling you have Pepper in on this video? Please & Thank you!
Excellent virtual getaway, as I sit here in the Sierra foothills with snow on the ground (whilst healing a popped achilles :( I needed some beach time ;o) Hey..youz guys should come to check out this area later in the year...we'll tour you around...Grass Valley / Nevada City
You missed the most beautiful beaches. Plus boating to Peter Island for lunch or JostVanDyk for drinks . Lots of young people at Cinnamon Bay and Mahoe Bay in st john
Reef Hike-good idea to bring a walking stick. Going down is much easier than hiking up. I wouldn't do it if you have bad knees or any other structural problem.
St Francis Bay on St. John is my favorite non commercial beach . It's a great place to go when you visit as long as you can handle a few wild donkeys. 😁
I really dont understand why ppl dont really go to francis bay as much, is always very empty... in my opinion is the most beautiful beach in st john... is so big with a beautiful view and the snorkel there is so nice
@@Perro_salvaje_ The wild donkeys keep most people away. 😂🤣
Don't tell our little secret about..Francis Bay..it is my favorite as well..
Just gotta say that if I ever bumped into you guys while traveling and you didn't have Pepper Pup with you, I'd be super disappointed.
Love love this video! New sub from me! We are headed to St John 🏝 in April (11 of us renting a place on Klein Bay).
That mountain ⛰ hike you two did before leaving is definitely in our plans! Where was it?
Can’t wait to watch more of your videos 😊
Ps - I love love love your hat Fin - brand?
My beautiful beautiful home town of St. Thomas I’m always homesick for home.
Hi SAndra! Did you go to school at Antilles?
@@28105wsking No I went to Addelita Cancryn. & Charlotte Amalie High School
First bar you were at was Skinny Legs, probably the best burger on the island.
Skinny was a cool dude; you were a stranger there but once! And I agree, excellent burgers!
Amazeballs!
I can't begin to know what you were into before this video. I have followed your journey since the RV and found you very professional and informative....... Till now!!! You sounded like you had way to many (Island Specials) before doing this video. Sorry, i felt i had to say something. I was looking forward to this video but had a hard time staying with it.
epic. thanks.
love your videos
Thanks so much ☺️☺️
That spider is an orb weaver- harmless garden spider. It eats wasps, mosquitos, flies, and other insects that cause hikers misery. It's your friend. :D
We love spiders. True story.
Not a fan of accidentally walking into webs, but spider-bros are true friends. 👫🤜🤛 🕷
