You are one of the very few persons on UA-cam I always return to because I can relax with you, feel happy, be hopeful and grateful. Thank you for making me feel like that ❤️
It’s a nice reminder to slow down and appreciate life. So much is going on and it’s easy to get caught up in the struggle of day to day life and I’m inspired to explore the areas around me to be able to enjoy what I have here in PA.
I really hope you explore and enjoy in PA 🥰 I'm so glad that these videos can be a reminder of that. Thank you Kimberly
Listening to whales must be the most beautiful sound in the world... Almost like a dream. Beautiful visuals 💙
Wish you can make a podcast, I could listen to your calm voice all day while working. Love your channel.
Thank you so much! I do post all my videos in podcast form anchor.fm/malama-life :)
hey! just wanna say that your content is beautiful and empowering. please keep doing what you’re doing 🤍 all love from Houston
Thank you so much 🥰 that's really sweet of you! thank you for watching these videos
I agree 100%. Such thought provoking and inspiring videos…they help me stay on my path of a simple life when it seems like most people have very different values.
This is so beautiful. "At the end of my journey, what will I remember the most?" This hit me so hard and made me re-evaluate my life choices. 💜 Thank you Sophie!
*breathtaking and awe inspiring.* The stunning landscapes overlaid with your soothing voice give my heart such a meditative and calm sensation. Thank you for this beautiful video - as you know, I can deeply relate to your story. My journey from world travel to settling into being content where I am has been a hard one, but so rewarding in the end. For the first time in a long time, I have spent a whole year in one city and, though I was restless to begin with, I have been so pleasantly surprised by the joy of the small seasonal changes and staying still for long enough to see them🌿
I love that we have a similar story Kat. I feel like you understand what I'm saying in a deeper and more personal way. I'm so happy you liked this one. I love seeing Scotland through your videos because it's such a different world than the one I'm living in. Thank you again!
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on youtube... this speaks to me on a personal level in a way I cant understand... I too live in an island and I think maybe it's the ocean's charm that fills our souls who truly desire to live near that large mysterious body of water... this video made me think about what I want in life... this gave me a hope that I too will be able to see and hear one day the marvelous creatures that are strange to me... that I too will be able to greet them as old friends...
❤😊 your comment made my day. Thank you so much. From one islander to another. Sending you much love
So lucky that I find this video in the midst of anxiety about everything in life. I am crying. The video reminds me of my childhood growing around trees. Much appreciated.
aw that's so kind of you to say. thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this one too
I got emotional and got goosebumps, this video will remain one of my favourites. It makes me reflect on and reconsider my choices, to trust my intuition and realize and trust what I actually am.
I am so proud of you, you are doing a great job in such a simple way!
And again I want to say this as many times as there is..that your videos have its own beautiful calming and empowering ambience which really calms me as I suffer from anxiety and any small negativity can trigger my peace. Thank you. The knowledge you impart have really shaped who I am now. More closer to the nature and being down to myself; the very organic being that I am, completely devoid of other things like ego and pride that stain the purity of the human we are born as. Thank you for taking me along and showing a path to humbleness and yet so strengthening. Thank you so very much. I'm forever grateful for you💜🍃
You are so sweet. Thank you for this sweet and thoughtful message. So happy we can connect through these videos. I'm so glad to share my journey too. Thanks again for always supporting

Thank you so much for bringing me back to the present moment. I really can’t hold back my tears watching this video. I’ve realized I’ve been so lost for so many years. You are such a blessing to my life.
Hi Sophie - I have actually watched this video a few times, nature and all the creatures it embodies teaches us that there really is a cycle and circle of life. There is change and flow happening all around us regardless of whether we can see it or not. I adore your thoughts and sentiments on the journey to a simple life. Thank you as always for sharing your story, the wisdom you have gained, and allowing us all to see the beauty of Maui xx
Thank you so much Haseena 🥰 your comment is so sweet. I'm so happy I can share and I'm so happy I can connect with like minded people through UA-cam.
I can so much relate to what you are saying about chasing targets and how toxic it can become.
It can burn us out! It's nice not having to worry about chasing anything 😊

This is one of most beautiful videos painting a lovely backdrop for life. Since the last March 12th of last year, I have been striving for a quietness in my life. Though I started my journey seven years ago, your videos as well as a half dozen others I religiously follow, I have become even more focused and introspective.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much Wilfred. I'm so happy you think so. I'm in search for quietness in my life as well :)
You're an inspiration! Now Im more grateful for what I have and I now find happiness even in small things. I am now contented for who I am and see life in a new perspective! Thanks to you!!

So many times watching this clips and i never get tired..Its all in one package,beautiful scenery,angelic voice and lots of inspirational phrases...Watching you in the youtube is a part of my relaxation especially during this tough time..Thanks Sophie🙏🙏🙏
I just wanted to say that watching your UA-cam videos have made a huge impact on my life. I have felt happier more relaxed and just wanting to stay in the moment more. Thank you so much 😊❤️
That's so sweet and I'm so happy to hear that. Thank you for supporting my channel 💕😊
Wow, so beautiful! Thank you for showing us some of the places on the island and for your beautiful voice and story. 🥰🥰🥰 I loved the beautiful nature scenes! Thank you!
Your videos are by far the best. Everything you share with us is just magic: the location, your thoughts, the music you choose...Thanks for this, and for reminding us with each video what a wonderful miracle it is that we are alive.
It is such a blessing and a miracle. I enjoy making these videos so much and I am so happy you love it. Thank you so much 🥰
This was a beautiful video and message Sophie - Thank you for making me more mindful that even in the midst of grief and less than ideal circumstances I can appreciate and find happiness in the small moments ❤
Your videos are so beautiful and calm! I have just discovered your channel and you have already made me think how I approach my life and how often I am in a hurry to do everything. Thank you for sharing how you see and live your life! Sending much love
I love this kind of vlog. Watching and listening to you helps me so much to calm down. Thank you so much!
This video is full of so much aesthetic stimuli!
Your voice alone was so calming & smooth...it was like silk to my ears & sent shivers through my body.
It’s very impressive that you’ve figured this out at such a young age……you’re way ahead of your generation
Congratulations 😊
Calmness and serenity. Indeed nature is the best therapy. Thank you for sharing awesome video ms. sophie!♥️
Your intro shots are always so breathtaking!! 😍
I was just looking up “simple living” videos last night so this is exactly what I needed ♥️
wow this video is so peaceful. It brought me peace and "escape" reality
I love your outlook on life. Watching your videos makes me feel calm and relaxed. Thank you Ms. Sophie for sharing your life through your channel. Sending love from PH to Maui 💟😉
This was breathtakingly beautiful. That spot on the island where you watch the whales...sigh. My favourite video of yours yet 💗
This video is so heartwarming, filled with thoughtfulness and beautiful imagery. Took some time away from social media and now enjoying your lovely videos even more again.
Patricia! I have missed you and your videos. I figured you would come back whenever you are ready 🥰 thank you for watching
What a beautiful place you have to go and zoom out from the everyday. Love your message. Slow living is so rewarding. Thank you for your content.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us in such a beautiful way. Each video of yours is precious ❤
It was therapeutic to watch. I was jumping around all the beautiful childhood-adulthood memories of mine while listening your soothing voice. Feeling very grateful 💜 the last message also hit me: “Change is there even if you dont see it”
Thank you so much for this amazing channel 💟
So cool to hear 😊 thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment 💕 big hugs
That was be a beautiful. As I get older (in my late 50s now), I have these kinds of conversations with myself increasingly. Life seems really about just the day to day "ordinariness", just appreciating the here and now, in a way it's all we have. I too made lots of changes and took on lots of adventures, and while they were all really exciting and meaningful, it was the present moment all along that really mattered. One day we'll run out if them, sadly, but I guess that is why it's so important to appreciate just being and the gift of life. Sounds maudlin talking about it, but really it's precious.
Thanks so much for sharing! I love hearing other people's perspective on slow living and finding out what it means to them. life is truly a gift and I am appreciating it more and more 🥰
Stunning video I love your channel! So peaceful a reminder for me to remember what’s important in life and slow down
Very wise young woman …. So true, at 51 I have all I need business abroad , no money problems , but the most things that bring me so much joy and happiness is being in nature, watching the birds in my garden. We have a beautiful planet and it’s all the treasures we need! Gods beautiful creation 🙏
Thankyou for sharing .. that beautiful whale, how blessed you are you see such beauty and knowing so young, what’s truly important x
I can’t THANK YOU enough. 🙏🏼
I am an Introvert married to Extrovert.
“Listening” to your video helps me find myself again.
I love videos like this, I will definitely save it for later whenever I have anxiety!! Thank you. 💙 Love the cinematography. I used to think dolphins followed me in Florida from the plane. I’m interested in slower living, Starting with deleting social media for a few days and I’ve been doing this since 2017. I always get sucked in but this time I’ll be even more aware than last time. I’ve been more productive, Working out daily at home, going for daily walks and loving it!!
It made me cry. This video is so beautiful and with a lot of meaning ❤️
I had my creativity blocked and discovering your channel inspired me a lot and encouraged me to continue creating content.
Sending you love from Spain 🙏🏼
I am so happy it's inspiring. I always love others to get inspired as well :) kisses from Maui ❤
So beautiful, thank you for blessing us with your content. It really helps to put things in perspective.
I am so glad I found this video. This is like a breath of fresh air. 💖💖💖
I just watched most of your videos within the past few days and weeks and to be honest - you just changed my life. all of your videos and the message behind them moved me so much and I was able to reflect on my life with a whole new perspective. thank you so much for all you bring into the world. feeling so refreshed, inspired,... it is the most incredible feeling for me. 🤍
❤️ thank you so much for your lovely comment Celina. It really means a lot. Wishing you all the best
What an incredible life you live! I am learning so much from you and your videos, I’m excited to try some things out for myself. Thank you!! You’ve touched my heart😊!!
This is so beautiful. Thank you very much for the video. it came at the right time for me. Really needed it.
Your videos are just so peaceful, calming and inspiring. Thanks to your videos I was able to slowly change my life. Thank you so much for everything. Sending love from Czechia
You always get my attention when you talk so calmly, when you run those videos showing places, which i long to go, which i cant at this period of time. Keep doing this, i enjoy listening to your stories and seing the places you enjoy going. You are doing great with your channel Sophie.
Hi Sophie. Such amazing images of the ocean in this video (and the whale @ 2:52). Thank you for sharing the beauty of Maui.
Sean! thank you so much 🥰 I was so happy I was able to capture some footages of these whales. I'm glad I can share through youtube. Thank you so much for watching!
Hi! This is probably one of the best message on simply living I've come across. I've always craved new places, new things bu I have also come to realize that they will never satisfy. It's nice to see a "minimalist" like you staying put in one place. Too often, I see other minimalist youtubers just traveling the world with their minimal possessions. Beautiful video!
I'm so happy to hear that Kate. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! traveling is great, but I'm happy to stay put in one place as well :) thanks for watching
Thank you for this, much needed for me in my life right now. 💕 found a new channel to watch and feel connected 🥰
Beautiful video!! We are surrounded of so much beauty, we just have to stop and see it, thanks for reminding me that.
I love your videos Sophie, they are always so beautiful, calming and they bring me so much peace, thank you!! Blessings to you
Thank you Cristina 🥰 I remind myself everyday to appreciate the small joys and now it's becoming a habit :) thank you so much for always watching
Every video leaves us with word of wisdom and food for thought for better living 💕💕💕 Thank you, may you continue to touch many hearts!
7:13 the sky to the horizon was like a classic painting.
Maui looks breathtaking 😍 what a blessing to wake up each day to those views 😍 this video made feel emotional to hear the passion you have for this beautiful place. It really is the little and simple things in life that make life such a blessing ❤
So nice to watch! What a lovely place/nature 🤩 I love this lifestyle. Thanks for sharing and the reminder. 😘 (lots of love from the Netherlands)
I feel so lucky to have all this nature around me. Much love from Maui. Thank you for watching ❤
This is incredible work; the message, the videography, the music, the transitions, the feel, and the story telling. Beautiful
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful soul with us. Your channel is a true blessing and antidote to the toxic, demanding and hostile world we live in today. Such a gentle and welcome reminder to what’s essential and true in our life. Namaste, bless you, I love and appreciate you and your work in the most pure of ways and wish you and your beloved all the best.
I'm so happy you enjoyed the video Daniel 🥰 I really appreciate your kind words.
Your content so calming and peaceful 🙏
This video made me cry! We all need to try to live slower. It makes such a difference to how we feel as humans. Thank you for you for your content ❤️
you are so sweet. thank you for watching. You're so right about slowing down. I feel much happier and more aware
Love love love listening to this in the morning, in the car, in my quiet time ❤️💗❤️ 🏝 🥥 ☀️ 🐳 🦭 🐠 🐟 🏔 the filming of the landscape is stunning camera 🎥 📸 love from Down Under🇦🇺
So cool you listen to it in the car 😊❤ thank you so much Sani. So happy you enjoyed this one too
Love this video ❤
I have seen wales close to Vancouver Island and will never forget that experience. Makes me realize how small and unimportant some things are that get too much of our attention..
You actually made me cry. Made me miss my dog even more so, as nothing else mattered on our trips. Much love from Denmark ❤️
I can only imagine the pain :( they make my days better. Much love and big hugs from Maui.
Your videos are a visual meditation of peace, calmess and tuning into yourself. You take so much effort in creating these beautiful visuals. Wow! You take me on a trip each time
thanks for being on social media! It’s a touching and sweet presence.
Probably one of your most beautiful video! ❤
Thank you for this. Much needed and a great and thoughtful reminder
Love your content, it inspires me to enjoy the simple life! This puts things in my life into perspective, thank you for the insight.

It touched deeply my soul 🙏🏻💙 thank you so so much for sharing this important message of reminding to ourselves what trully matters 🌻🌸🌺🦋
You are really the one make me change ..I am so depressed and unhappy in my life but when I discovered your UA-cam channel ..omg you are a gift😊😊😊 from Philippines 😊 even my son know your name 😊😊
Listening to this, was absolutely healing.
I got emotional watching this just because i realize my whole life i haven't really even lived. Thank you
Thanks for watching Kurt ❤ never too late to start living now right? 😊
@Paloma I can relate 😔
"BEAUTY calls for itself"
Thank you for showing the true meaning of what we've been chasing for, "BEAUTY."
Same here. I’ve been trying to cut off my softness in this twilight zone world. Emotions no longer serve anything for life.
Technology and life drama unhealthy people constantly create for fun or want to experience thrilling through dopamine rush. Turning off TV years but completely disconnected from the reality doesn’t make living life.
Pls take me home far far from the earth filled with 👽. I might be 👽 so confusing lol 😂
Same here u told everything but i cant. I hate dramatic people technology life
