This video was SO much fun to make! Any suggestions of places to visit on the West Coast? ⬇⬇⬇
I heard the white salmon river is fun to go white water rafting
@sarahhberkowitz
Mount Shasta!!!
Go to Disneyland then San Diego. If you camp down there are many places to park and camp
There's lots of places in Arizona and New Mexico if you had gone further south but you can do that another time if you like the Northwest there's so many fun places in Oregon and Washington... I like Olympia and Long Beach in Washington in Oregon it's fun to just drive the one through all the little towns on the coast
Woo! I just love seeing how your adventures progress and how much you're learning! I still remember the first time you lived in the truck with us, what a ride! LOVE YOU!
Such great memories! Wouldn't be here without you! ❤️❤️
You're right this is seriously good... Better pick up your game Delventhal!
I enjoyed your videos so much. I was so happy to see that you were practicing safety measures. Wh we n youre go I ng on hikes, are there other people around in these remote areas. I'm probably too hypervigilant.
You need to get yourself a little doggy to keep you company. Nothing big and non shedding preferably. I've got a shihzu.They are great traveling companions.
Why did you trick her 😂😂😂 when she dunked her head under water ??
Good rule of thumb, trust your gut. If you feel unsafe there, then it’s a good thing you left.
This is actually been proven to be mostly incorrect. Normally your instincts are lying to you. Especially if your untrained in whatever the subject matter is that your relying on your instincts for
Tip for preventing your tripod from blowing over in the wind: hang a weighted item like a small backpack or plastic grocery bag with bottled water or a couple of rocks in it from your tripod. Near the center point if possible. This will keep it more stable in the wind 👍 Congrats on your new YT channel and starting your journey on the road. Thanks for taking us along with you!
Get you a small hatchet? Multi use protection and cut firewood if needed. Essential camp item
Agreed, OC Spray also
Or Bear spray
A guy would over power you with a hatchet, I'd go for the tazer Nikki had.😮
It’s like watching the prequels to Nikki loving it, keep the vlogs going
I'm thinking Nikki's Mini-Me. LOL
Always happy to get a Sarah update. Way to listen to your gut. Feeling safe is also feeling comfortable. Have fun. Be careful.
You're becoming savvy with car camping. Great how careful you are and that you follow your gut and decided to move to a safer spot. You're gaining your balance, both literally and figuratively, in navigating hiking trails, finding campsites, shopping, etc. Happy travels! 💜🐦
Congrats Sarah! Stay single and pet free for a while. Enjoy your adventures without extra responsibilities for now. Adding a pet is when you are ready! Love seeing your adventures. Finn Whittaker is also starting Van life. There are so many other single ladies out there in Van life! Congrats and see the world now while you can. Cant wait to see you out in the world one day! Hugs Lady! Keep searching and growing. Proud of you along with your family members! Stay Safe and free!
Trust your spidy senses , be safe out there city girl😊
Good job trusting your gut. When you feel something is wrong, it likely is best to go with that feeling rather than messing around and finding out.
You are a natural like your cousin !!! Keep them coming !!
I’m so glad that you listened to your intuition and got out of the mountains per say there’s a lot of sketchy things happening with our southern borders and I’m glad you listened because I want you to safe. you probably don’t want an animal, but I would highly suggest it being a single solo female traveler or get your concealed permit to carry
Damn, Berkowitz! The channel content is shaping up great. Nice job. Pretty impressed. No better teach than Nicole.
You're a natural at this. Great story telling and editing and everything flowed seamlessly. I've been a long time Nikki follower and always enjoyed you there so I was excited to see you branch off with your own set of adventures.
not to freak you out or scare you, but when hiking alone put your hair in a bun. I used to teach a self-defense class and ponytails and braids are too easy to grab onto...a small pepper spray and a loud whistle are also good proactive safety devices...stay safe and enjoy the journey...your channel is cool love yours and your cousins videos 👍
I always liked Nikki's videos with you in them, glad you started your own channel! Keep up the good work!
Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Harmony (population 18), Cambria. Moonstone Beach, the zebras and seals on the coast, and Ragged Point. Also, you can overnight stay in the casino parking lots in Palm Springs!
I discovered you Sarah, By the multiple times , you were with your cousin Nikki. It’s nice to see you on your own journey. If you want sleep better at night, (( without any noise )) as a Professional Truck Driver for the past 25 years, I always sleep whit ears plug , it’s like sleeping on another planet, because you ear ABSOLUTELY nothing of your surrounding.
Nice tip. Also, sounds a little dangerous not being able to hear your surroundings. I wear ear plugs too, but not when camping as I’d rather be alert and wake up if needed
Great video Sarah. Obviously your editing skills are shining through. Stay vigilant and keep putting out videos. Stay safe and be smart. Well done. 👊
Thank you! :)
Good job, Sarah! I look forward to enjoying your adventures and also your times with your great cousin, Nikki!!
I live in Longmont Colorado and work in boulder Glad you got to see how beautiful Colorado is 🤩
I am LOVING your videos!!! They are so full of information, sights, sounds and just plain FUN to watch!! Keep them coming, Sarah!! You are so much fun!!
Good morning Sarah, it was a lot of fun going along with you. Beautiful areas, beautiful scenery. I always watch Nikki and thats where I saw you. I’m a 77 year old grandmother who loves to see new places that all of my friends on here go to. Thanks I sure enjoyed going along… see you next time….🙋🏻♀️🙏🌹💕
Hey Sarah, you're the friend everyone wants to have! Take care 👍❤
all I could think while you were putting on your car window covers was how great it would be to have a little happy camper!
You should visit the central coast. Specifically, see the elephant seals just south of San Simeon, the quaint Cayucos beach town with its original pier, eat delicious fresh fish & chips while watching sea otters in Morro Bay, hike the beautiful ocean views of Montana de Oro State Park in Los Osos after stopping at the best bread bakery anywhere, Caliwala; I could go on forever!
Loved the video! Thought is was great you included your poor balance falls... its refreshing to acknowledge your honesty! Keep em coming.
Health took me out a couple weeks, but I’m back out in my man cave catching up on KZhead. So happy you’ve followed cousin Nikki in your journey and posting on KZhead. Of my 120+ KZhead subscriptions you and Nikki are in my top 10 (the others are fishing and hunting stuff). Kudos girl, I hope your channel goes viral. I’ll help all I can 👍🥰
Congratulations on the success of your channel!!! Smart decision changing sleeping locations. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, trust your gut. Also, it's good to see more of your personality coming out as your channel progresses and you make more videos and are getting comfortable talking to us via the camera. It's a skill and takes time and work (I'm sure Nikki would agree). God bless and keep you safe on your travels, Sarah. -BK
I am 52 my best advice is to always trust your gut❤❤
Yay! Cheers to you! Like I always tell my kids, "Have fun. Be safe."
You go girl! 😎You are a natural!👏👏👏
Good video Sarah, you are getting so comfortable behind the camera compared to a couple years ago with Nikki, you where pretty shy. I live out in the country with no close by neighbors. The Coyote sound will take a while to get used to, 2 or 3 coyote's can sound like a pack of 20. Probably best to go with another camper next time. I camp a lot myself in the Rocky Mtns AB Canada. You will always hear funny noises in the bush, that's just how it is, the wind does funny things. Your in a vehicle that is locked, so you will be fine. It will just take awhile to get comfortable. Nothing wrong with truck stops if you can sleep through the noise. Good Luck.
I love the adventures you have with Nikki! Y'all should do more collaborations in the future. You have made significant progress! Keep up the hard work! Peace and love sent from Texas.
Sarah I have seen you a few times with Nikki this is the first time I seen you by yourself I just now discovered your journal and I love it this is Jim from Missouri
Hey Sarah! I enjoy hearing your travels. Looks like you are having fun. You have very refreshing ideas. ❤
You're crushing it with your videos so far girl!
Hey Sarah just a little FYI, your gas cap cover has some metal slotted on it. That actually holds your gas cap so you don't have to let it hang by the plastic strap that will eventually break. Keep the handle in your hand and slid the cap into the slot from the top. STAY SAFE always!
I had no idea! Thank u
U r doin’ AMAZEBALLS!!! Way to go Grrl! 💗🛖💃🏼YurtGrrl
Great Videos Sarah!! I learn something new every time I watch videos from you or Nikki!! It has helped me so much in my own travels! I live in a Prius! 😊
I've been in Nikki's channel for exactly 4 years you had awesome cousin Sarah❤❤😊
They’re both extremely boring and basic
@@turkey4957 yeah, these are really boring tbh. After the 50th video of the same thing, it's a yawnfest
Yep people enjoy the animals and the trees before the GREEDY MONSTERS like Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, The World Economic Forum takes it all way including your food, your home gardens, your pets, the trees and your homes with inflated housing insurance rates thanks to Black Rock and GEO storms to displace people from their property and so that Black Rock, Black Stone, Vanguard, Zillow can turn them into high cost rentals and or sell them so expensively so Americans cant afford to buy them. Therefore folks enjoy the out doors before they place you in 15 minutes curfews and remember according to our friends and allies you will own nothing while they increase the bugs in your food give you a new plandemic and chip your brain to MAKE YOU BE happy.
Hi Sarah, Your video is so much entertaining, Thanks for letting us be part of your journey, May God bless you,,,🙂👌
I'm glad to see ya' taking advantage of an opportunity to just get "out there." Youth is a Wonderful Gift & Blessing. Thanks for letting us journey with you for now. I have had dreams of doing this kinda stuff. Working my way towards this. Looks like lots of fun!!! Praying for ya!
Hey Sarah, you should put some small fans in your car, it should keep you cool at night; in those hot nights. 😊💗
Yes. I think Walmart or REI has fans that recharge from your car....no batteries and you can attach them to the car hand pulls.
Well done Sarah, Any video you are in is so much fun Enjoy the adventure
Great job Sarah, your balancing is definitely improving.
It's so awesome to see cousin Sarah with he channel. You in spire me to start my new life.
We just love love love you. Please keep going and stay safe 🙏 😊
All your videos have been amazing so far! Thanks for sharing your journey and travels!
Oh cool, you got your own channel. I didn't realize you had one. Hope you have just as much fun on your adventures, as your cousin does. God bless
You zipped across the country in like 2 videos. Would've lived to see more clips as you were traveling across the country. Can't wait to see whats next.
So glad to see your channel is going so well Sarah! Excited to see what's to come. 😊
So excited to see you on film by yourself! So happy now I have more fun adventures to go on!!
Love seeing you out there on your own doing the nomadic Life Nikki is such an inspiration I love watching the episodes u featured, stay safe wish you the best❤
Balance and agility get better with overall fitness levels. Many of us have gym fitness at best but real life hiking and fitness gets all our little muscle strengthened and we naturally get more agile. Loving your content so far🎉🎉
That was fantastic. I really enjoyed all the nature and your commentary. THANK YOU THANK YOU
Hi Sarah. Enjoyed watching your adventure. I have watched Nikki from the beginning of her channel and I always looked forward to seeing you there from time to time. You two cousins create wonderful content. Thanks for the videos and safe travels. pm
Sarah, you are amazing. Keep up the videos. Wishing for you GREAT ADVENTURES!
Your a breath of FRESHAIR Sarah And you know what You said you got freaked out by the different types of sounds you heard Well thats because like you mentioned Your a NEW YORK girl And of course its going to take some time to get used to it Anyway THANKS again for your video SAFE and FUN travels
You are doing amazing, always follow your gut your safety is priority one. Look forward to your adventures.
Great job Sarah! I have been following Nikki, and when you started to join her I was smitten with you. Looking forward to more videos.💕💕👍👍
I love your adventure, Sarah. I live in a minivan, and I love the way you share the little details. Always follow your gut. No reason necessary. Enjoy!
So glad I found your channel Sarah because I always enjoyed seeing your adventures when you traveled with Nikki.
This is a great video! I look forward to seeing where you take us and what you do! Always trust you gut! Be safe!
A very enjoyable vlog.Thank u for taking us along.
Go go Sarah! You did great, seems you are like a pro! Can't wait to see you're next vidz
Can’t wait to see all the adventures and amazing places you go.
Good for you. Nikki is a good influence. Adventure awaits! Be safe, use your spidey-sense, and have fun😊
Sarah! It's so good to see you have your own channel! I appreciated your Parent Trap comment and Hunger Games. Be safe out there, looking forward to more videos from you!
I’m so glad this popped up. I’ve been wondering how you are doing & where your adventures have taken you. I was already subscribed but I’ll turn on notifications now because I’m not seeing your videos in my feed. Looks like you’ve been busy and that you’re enjoying it. Continue to follow your gut, it’ll serve you well! Wishing you all safe and happy travels!
You’re getting better and better at this very fast Sarah! Go you!
Excellent video Katniss ! 😉 Glad you trusted your gut and switched places for the night, better to be safe than sorry.
Always listen to your gut. They don’t lie. Be safe out there. Good job coaching Nikki! ❤
Boulder scared me too. Actually camping and hiking in the mountains of Neitherlands Colorado. 😢
Such fun adventures! Thanks for sharing with us. It's nice to have a mentor and kindred spirit to consult with and visit on occasion. Glad you are branching out on your own. Always follow your gut, safety is #1. Our daughter has a Rav4 and loves to camp too. We will be meeting her at some point out West. Cool to see friends and family to reconnect along the way. Cali has lots of interesting things to see, The sequoias and redwoods are amazing traveling along route 1 on the coast is a bucket list item. If you get the chance in Utah, Zion and Bryce canyon are stunning and have places around to camp.
Get yourself a small rechargeable fan for comfort on the hot nights. You're going to need it. You're doing great.
the usb charger one saved my life when i was car camping in joshua tree.. temps were like 100+
Oh no! It's never wrong to be safe. Good on you. You'll get familiar with critter noises and feel more at ease. I like it when you do videos with cousin Nikki. Happy trails.🤙
Loving your vids! Excited for more! Love how organized and minimalistic you are
Your happiness is fun to watch and experience. Thanks for growing into this channel. Way cool! Have a goodness year. I'll be following ya.yip
OOOH! First time seeing your channel! I've been watching your cousin now for a while, and wondered if we'd see your travels. And then all of a sudden there you are in my recommendations! Lot's of fun on this one! Looking forward to more!
Excellent video. Very entertaining. I suggest you get a good wide brimmed hat to keep the sun off you face when hiking. Sunburn and windburn out west is hard on the skin. I liked how you cleaned up your nice rav4. Good looking rig.
I loved the shot of boulder ice cream memories coming back love the video pace. Peace!!!! Enjoy your freedom.
I really admire your strength & courage to do this all on your own. I wish I was brave enough & had the financial means to do this!! Wishing you all of the very best on your journey!!💕💕💕
Great job Sarah. I enjoy following along with you on your adventures just hate that I missed the Premier. So glad that you followed your gut that night that you moved. It sounds like you are already fine-tuning your situational awareness. Looking forward to more videos of your own and with Nikki. Take care, safe travels.
Can't wait to follow your journey! Great production quality too!
I'd love a video on the safety/security/trusting gut feelings on what do you look for in a safe place to sleep or stop (even during the day), Pros/Cons on stopping in places with people around or alone? Safety in numbers of other travelers? Tips for someone new and female in van/car life to be safe. Love The idea of keeping the drivers seat open if a quick departure from an area is required. Be safe, trust your gut feeling, its often the right answer. You are awesome. Love your new channel.
i think you really bring a fresh outlook on car camping/travelling. You're out to have fun and adventure and you really have that youthful playful humor. Safe travels!
Looks like you’re covering lots of ground and having fun. Check on your cousin, she’s battling aliens in Area 51. Carry on and enjoy! 😎
I'm glad you followed your gut and left that uncomfortable spot Sarah. This is my 3rd time watching this. Great soundtrack WB.
You’re doing so good videoing everything and keeping vlogs interesting. Keep it up!!
You did good - always go with your instincts when you sense danger. Love your videos !
Another interesting video, Sarah! Enjoying watching you become road and travel savvy. Have been watching Nikki for quite awhile. She's a great mentor for you. Stay safe!
Well done, Sarah. Good call to follow your gut, cover your window, stay prepared, and most importantly, have fun!
Totally agree, if you don't feel safe whether it be animals, or people, you have to do what makes you feel comfortable. Anxiety...only would increase if left to fester!! Great video, Sarah! Love to see you and Nikki too!
Welcome back to Ca, nice to see you on your own vlog.
So glad you started making videos! Keep it up 💜
I'm so glad you are doing videos, they are so funny! I'm patting you on the back also for not falling down on that log. Loved the movie references too.
Fellow New Yorker here! Love your video!
Sara, you are crushing it with the filming. This video was one of the best I have ever watched from all the van life creators. Keep up the great work. So glad you switched parking spot for the night, always listen to your gut. I am sure that is the advice Nikki gave you too. Looking forward to your next video, Safe travels. 😀
