Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.
Be sure to hit subscribe here on UA-cam and follow along on Instagram for more daily fun! Oh, and be sure to say hi while you're here. :)
Bravo for leaving the topic of having kids between the two of you.
Thanks Bob! Hope you're doing well!
Only your parents get to ask you the kids question because they foster the hope that you will get one just like you….ignore anyone else.
Thank you Kathy! Hope you're doing well!
This is a very true comment me and my wife are 27 and choose not to have children right now and travel. Which we may never want kids we don't know. But seems like a topic lots like to judge one.
Sorry to have been absent for so long from your guys content life's been really crazy the last year! Going through your guys videos and catching up ! Missed you guys a lot keep up the hard work. Still one of the best channels on YT 🤟
Hey Austin! No worries, we completely understand life getting busy! I hope you're doing well though. Welcome back, we're happy to have you here again! :)
Enjoyed this! It’s always fun to hear your hearts for travel, your jobs, and more!
Thanks for always supporting Joe!
Love hearing from you two in this way!
Thanks for watching, Justine! So glad you enjoyed this one. I know it's a bit different than our normal vlogs.
Great things to come!
Yes indeed!
Great vlog, great seeing. “you guys being you”
Glad you enjoyed it
Never feel bad that you show people they are valued. We all can learn from being more friendly and accepting. We all can learn so much from strangers.
Absolutely!
So many good questions! …but I wish people would realize the kid question is such a personal question and stop asking it. So exciting about all your upcoming adventures! Also, Mark Alan wears contacts most of the time now and still tries to push his glasses up. 😂
Hi Chris and Sarah! Sorry to hear that rig deal fell through! I can’t wait to hear what rig you are wishing for, but I will be patient🤓
Can't wait to share that too!
Go Dawgs, Chris! 😉 Good vid guys, thanks for the candid responses.
Go DAWGS
Finally finished watching this. Thank you for addressing the desaturated colour issue! I kept wondering if it was my tellie somehow not able to read your videos. Then I thought maybe it was a deliberate “artsy” look. Please don’t apologize or feel bad, Sarah! It’s great you’re trying new things / just letting us know helps as I don’t need to keep tweaking my colour controls! Lol.
Also, thank you for talking about the overlanding! We’ve been wondering. I hope it works out for you in time but in the meanwhile, personally, I and many others I’m sure, came to your account because of your van life travels. I love especially when you are in various towns and recommendations for coffee shops, etc! It’s the US travel and coffee thst is the hook for me. Even though I’m from overseas, I don’t want to watch journeys around the world- others already do that but few take your angle in the states.
Finally, my very favourite thing about you both IS your unassuming ways - it’s what makes you feel real, approachable and not arrogant but humble and kind! So glad you AREN’T slick and so called professional! Please don’t change!
Make sure when using Google flights to use incognito. As they will track your searchs and start to raise rates on your web browser if they see you fly alot. Learned this from a seasoned traveler. Could be wrong but I do it to be safe.
YES! We do the same thing! I'm not sure it does anything but we always do it just in case. I think you're right though, it would make sense that it does help with prices a bit!
Great update.
Thanks!
I'm happy this came around
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the q and a! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Thanks for explaining so much. My wife and I have 13 kiddos (3 bio, 10 adopted fosters). Looking forward to the empty nest in 7 yrs.
We just got back from Japan ❤❤. It was dreamed about since dec 2018!
Oh wow!!! How was it??
When going overseas, check out renting a Mercedes camper to travel in. They have lots of different styles than we have here. This might be cheaper. Also, Ms Bluejean girl, you highly inspired me to by my Van and I am getting close to completing it. We had some set back, but keep moving forward.
Great job guys!
Would have loved to hear about the new rig! Sorry it didn’t work out but looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
I had wondered about your films being washed out.. glad to hear you are working on getting better. You will get there and we still love you! 😃
Kids are amazing but they aren’t for everyone and that’s completely ok! I’m sure your nieces/nephews will love it!
What was that tech bag again?
It might be a good idea for my hubby/Dad for father’s day! 😃
Thanks again for the update. Love keeping in touch!
Hey Laura! Thanks so much! :)
Here's the bag we referenced in the video: bhpho.to/41H2mHG
Just watched this video, love all your others. On the question of having kids, it is a deeply personal one, my husband and I did not have kids, but it’s amazing how many people think it’s okay to ask why. We’re on our 44th year of marriage, and it’s all good. 👍
Thank you for this and thank you for watching our videos. It really means alot!
Oh fab! I’ve never been to Raleigh or Athens and have thought it would be great if you guys did a blog in it first to see if these are places I’d want to go when having to decide somewhere.
Both are great little weekend trips! I might be biased but Athens is my favorite!
I love watching you guys because Sara is more of an overalls type. You be you. I would love to see some more cycling adventures if the opportunity arises. I think Kramer needs to go bikepacking.
We would love that too! We’ve been itching to get back on the bikes. Thanks for watching Steve!
Thanks for the chat. All the info was ... well.. informative. LOL And you are right, some subjects are flat out none of our business. Until next time... Travel safe and have fun.
Was thinking of you just the other day! We've got some exciting news to share hopefully in the coming days and I think you'll like it :)
@@chrisandsara Hmmmmm..... LOL
Y’all… the kids thing is private! That’s your business. Although we do know you are amazing parents to Kramer!
I think a hosted trip domestically would be fun! So many places to go and see!
We think domestic would be fun! Maybe a PNW trip?!
I like your Wes Anderson podcast palette!!
😂 we have a long ways to go to even come close to Wes, but that was the best compliment we've gotten in a long time! 😁
Kramer said good coffee Mom! Good questions!
Lol. He was bouncing off the walls after that sip
Have y'all considered a Looper trip? It is boating the eastern US water ways including parallel perimeter of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. You can actually access the route from TN.
We've considered it and have friends and family do that trip. Boat life interests us pretty a lot!
A trip in the Montana, Washington, Oregon area would be dope
100% agree!
Loved the Q & A!! Hahaha dying that you classify Sara as an overall girl! 🤣 I think that’s so endearing & it’s literally wayyy better than being a leather jacket person like me & Matt, people always ask… oh are you in a motorcycle club?? Hahaha I’m like so we look that scary?! Haha 😂 also y’all are the best!! 💗
hahaha! I love y'all leather jackets! Don't ever change that, it fits y'all!
Thank you for answering the question on muted color. I don't want to hurt your feelings but I like the higher color saturation with better contrast. Go back to auto and focus on content.
Thanks David!
I would love to learn how to color grade, seems like such a great skill to have these days.
Go for it! It's hard but when it works wow it's great!
@@chrisandsara I will give it a try!
What that travel bag Chris’s recommended? I’ve seen it before but I don’t recall the name or where to get it. Thanks
Hi Joella! The bag is by Peak Design and it's the Travel Tech 2L Pouch: bhpho.to/41H2mHG
Thank you
Have you looked into videos at state parks?
We’ve done a few and will probably do a few more coming up!
I really need to start my own UA-cam channel and vlog. Does it take a lot of work to get started?
It takes a lot of work but is so worth it. Just go ahead and start it!
Chris, I wear my sunglasses in stores too. I’m too lazy to change my glasses and I can see just fine. Looking weird probably keeps people from talking to me too. Introvert move.
Great minds think a like Ellen!
You are educated, because you said on the kids topic, "Its between ME and Sara." Which is actually correct, because after a preposition you use the object form of the pronoun. A lot of people incorrectly use, "It's between Sara and I". And that's wrong.
hahaha I'm trying Sara
Your plans regarding kids is none our business.
Appreciate you Neil!
