Fellow Pacific Northwesterner here! I agree it is an absolute dreamworld and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I'm new to the vegan lifestyle, but I have to give a huge thank you to Derek and Crystal for being so inspirational and giving me a solid foundation for living a plant-based lifestyle. I've never been healthier and am on my way toward getting off the high blood pressure medication I've had to take for years. Thank you!
I love your content, it never feels repetitive. I could binge watch your videos all day, they are so enjoyable. It’s great to see just how much vegan option you found available, what a time to be alive, and vegan! 🌱💪
I saw the oldest living olive tree in Israel and the fact that they never really die because a new tree grows within the tree and the old tree just falls away and the new tree grows out of the old so very cool
I really enjoyed it Derek, it was very interesting to see all these cool places, and mixed with your positive energy, which you two bring, it was also very cozy, funny and heartwarming!
This made my heart so happy because I grew up in Portland and went to college in Eugene! The PNW is beautiful. Also Virtuous Pie is amazing; glad you made it there.
Fantastic couple of vlogs, great travelling along with you guys. Loved watched you sampling all of the vegan food it looked amazing - that’s what holidays are all about. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Looks like you had a great time! I live near the redwoods and one of the secrets is car camping at those state parks in the winter. As long as it isn't raining, the nights aren't very cold and the days are sunny and clear.
I hope you go back to Crater Lake in the summer, it's beautiful and worth the drive! Thanks for filming your travels, I love seeing all the sights and eateries you venture out to with you guys!
That Redwood forest look like a good place for and asked me Monday's 😉 Look like so many great restaurants to eat at. I'll have to visit Portland one day.
Those Coconut Bliss Ice cream Sandwiches are the best! Ingredients are pretty good too compared to other vegan ice cream brands! The cookie part is made with sprouted flour!!
Always go to Cornbread Cafe when traveling past Eugene. The chicken fried tempeh is my favorite ❤️❤️ the gravy that it comes with is absolutely amazing.
thanks for the vlogs derek and crystal you two always make me feel like im hanging out with you both also a big thank you to the knowledge you always sharing about food and other stuff in your videos im making a big use of them love you from tunisia
So fun to see you in my neck of the woods! Portland is definitely filled with many Vegan options. Cannon Beach is such a beautiful spot as well. What a fun road trip! Glad you had a wonderful time!
Loved watching you enjoy a holiday 🥰 you two are so cute 💚 myself, my wife and my son are actually considering moving from the UK to British Columbia and seeing the options for road trips and adventures has spurred me even more 😁
You've got to make it over to Vancouver. We've got Virtuous Pie and so many other vegan restos : MeeT with three locations in town, Chickpea on Main down from one of the MeeT restos, Vegan Pizza House, Po Kong - a Chinese Buddhist Veggie place and lots more. We even have a shop called Vegan Supply that only sells vegan products which is across the street from a vegan ice cream shop called Umaluma. Just a short ferry ride away!
Daang, Derek! you where in my town, Bro. Mt. Shasta Is hella chill. Glad you got to experience the Pacific Northwest. And thank you for sharing your journey.
Derek & Crystal. So good to see guys. Derek I LOVE carrot cake too but hate carrots, I know right. What trip I feel Ike I was there with you. So much Fun what a journey Funny moments love the trees 🌲. Beautiful couple. 🙏🏾 💪🏾💛🤙🏾😄
Derek! It was very cool to see you pass through my stomping grounds (Eugene). How strange that Sizzle Pie was closed! That place is usually open and very popular. If ever you come back through, visit Sundial Cafe in South Eugene. Sundial is gluten free and vegan and probably my favorite vegan place in town.
I love love love love the video and especially how long it is. Thanks for sharing and honestly the best part of the videos were the food, my mouth was watering anytime I saw y'alls food. Again thanks for sharing
Aww wish I would have ran into ya'll when you were in Eugene! Cornbread cafe is by my hood :) Next time you're in town you HAVE to try Morning Glory for breakfast..its THE BEST! Was that McCreedy hot springs? You must have passed through Gold Beach too that's my hometown. Glad you had fun on your trip! PNW is pretty special!
So much beautiful places, thank you guys for bringing us up with us, now it's my goal to visit all these places and especially the forest, it looked so damn big and wonderful. Can't wait for your another video, definitely my favourite vegan youtuber
Fantastic vlog.. as always.. such vintage footage.. absolutely breathtaking..Lovely to see from from your viewpoint.. beautiful .. thank you Derek and crystal for amazing vlog.. love you both 🧡💚🙃🙂🍀💚🌿💚🍍🙏🏻🌈
Hey legend - such a good vid!! Seems like you had a ripper time, you don't need to apologise for eating those foods!! Always important to feed the soul and we know you live a healthy lifestyle 99% of the time. You guys should carry a reusable cutlery set with you! Helps avoid unnecessary single use plastic waste.
So glad I got to visit the PNW on a spontaneous road trip up the west coast... otherwise, I don't think I ever would've visited! It's so beautiful! Sucks you didn't see Crater Lake on a nice day! That water is deeeeeeep blue!
There’s Virtuous Pie in Vancouver (next time you’re this way) and I agree it’s SOOO good. Pro tip: add cashew mozzarella to the Stranger Wings. Awesome seeing I’m not the only one who goes on Not-My-Normal-Diet food tours when on holidays. 😆
That trip was amazing & those huge trees wow so awesome You guys made me jealous I don't have many vegan food places where I live The food looked so yummy
the West Coast is sooo gorgeous! I've had the chance to visit Vancouver (in and around), but the ultimate goal would be a road trip along the entire West Coast... Sooo many things to see! :) Great vlog!
Omg you two are so cute. There isn’t many places in America I would want to go to but everywhere you went was a vegan Mecca Portland and Eugenie I’ve heard are great and those redwoods were out of this world.
It looks amazing there. I am looking forward spending two weeks in Vancouver and Victoria in March/April next year and I am planning on visiting two vegan friends in Portland who happen to meet up with me here in Edinburgh, Scotland. Veganism connects all over the world and it's great to know you have friends in other parts.
Really enjoyed this video. Nice job. I considered moving to Portland once with a job offer, but didn't because of all the depressing rain. Glad your car didn't get flooded! Watch out for those jerky treats...very high in sodium!
That vegan grocery store really inspired me... I found a family-owned natural foods store in my town, and even though it's not fully vegan, it's the closest thing I can find to it, so thanks for the inspiration!
Great vlog D! Yo I'm glad you didnt have worse damage from that flash flood. They can be crazy in a snap! If you ever make it to the bay area again we've got awesome trails, redwoods, coastal hikes, lots of amazing vegan spots in all over the bay area esp Berkley and Oakland.
LOVE your journey vlog !!! i felt like i was there .. hehee.. what alot of vegan restaurants !! hope that catches on EVERYwhere.. =) you guys are the BEST couple ever !!
Oh my goodness! You guys were in Eureka! The Humboldt Soup Company is right down the road from our house!! Its incredible to see people online visit your hometown. Hope you both enjoyed the area and got to see some of our coast line :)
Omg thank you sm this is an amazing video I live 20 minutes away from Eugene this video made me feel so close to you guys! Wow I’ve been planning on going to the cornbread cafe! LIKE MY MIND IS BLOWN WITH THIS VIDEO😁😊☺️ I’m sooo happpy! ✊🏼💓💓💓 Love you guys sm! Would have been sooo cool to see you guys and say hi if you guys would be okay with that it would fill my heart with so much joy! 🐾💫✨ Appreciate you guys sm !
I’m an aspiring vegetarian and soon after vegan, your optimism and explanation of ease in this healthful ass diet inspires me in more ways than just in diet and I appreciate it I hope you never stop YouTubing my dude 💪🍉🥒🍍🥕🥦
Look like you both had an amazing time. I'm so jealous of all the food choices you had, wish I lived near Vtopia. The Redwoods looked beautiful 💚 love these insight vlogs and hope your car is OK, wowzers xx
Dude you got in your car just in time. Probably 15min and your exhaust would covered. Btw loving these vlogs, and the fact you didn't record everything just little snippets. Keep it up!
I live in Portland. We don’t usually have flash floods like that! It was fun to see your experiences. Come back to Portland. We’ve got a ton of vegan options!
Thank you both for taking us on your adventures!! I will never be able to travel like that and it was incredible to see, especially with you all!! I'm so jealous of Portland, lol I absolutely love that vegan shopping center/food places, etc. We have nothing here!
If you guys ever come to Calgary, there’s a couple great places for vegan chickn n waffles. The dandelion Cafe, and Hearts Choices. You can totally have a salad on the side for them greens.
Greetings from Portland! So cool you guys were able to hit some of the popular spots here. You could seriously spend over a solid month and not even come close to all the vegan joints here!
Wow! Great video. Glad you saw the redwoods and Mt. Shasta. I want to see Crater Lake. Loved seeing you two having good vegan food in Portland. I went to that vegan grocery store too and got a t-shirt at herbivore. Vegan tourism feels good!
Love me some Simnett vloggage. Keep em coming, brother! 🌱💪👊💥
This one should tide ya over for a while. Lol.
Hench Herbivore love how you’re always out here encouraging the community! Keep up the kindness.
@@MissCarlyJoy thanks, lovely!

Dear Crystal,
I agree. Your hair looks lovely. :]
You two look so good around each other Wow!
Just came home from work and watching this relaxed me like a million times, thanks for sharing!
Derek, it seems you're an awesome travel vloger. That giant forest is insane.
I saw the oldest living olive tree in Israel and the fact that they never really die because a new tree grows within the tree and the old tree just falls away and the new tree grows out of the old so very cool

Korinne Breed I am also from Portland and I agree, virtuous pie is really good!
Awesome to be able to see the places you go to, especially the vegan food places. Thanks for sharing.
A much needed vlog after hurting my brain with calculus homework! These vlogs are addicting to watch :) 🌱

Fantastic vlog.. as always.. such vintage footage.. absolutely breathtaking..Lovely to see from from your viewpoint.. beautiful .. thank you Derek and crystal for amazing vlog.. love you both 🧡💚🙃🙂🍀💚🌿💚🍍🙏🏻🌈
Whoa, epic roadtrip! 😍 Thank you for taking us along! The American west coast is so beautiful, can’t wait to explore more of it.
The 1500 year old tree, think about all things that have happened in that time and the tree was there.
It doesn't care.
Hey legend - such a good vid!! Seems like you had a ripper time, you don't need to apologise for eating those foods!! Always important to feed the soul and we know you live a healthy lifestyle 99% of the time. You guys should carry a reusable cutlery set with you! Helps avoid unnecessary single use plastic waste.
Love the vlog!! Vegan Store!?! every city should have one . I 'd be like a kid in a candy store...I love these long videos too
Its so weird (but cool!) to see you exploring my hometown and the beaches and places ive been haha!
What a great trip! Can't wait for next year!
Such fun !! Great video!! You 2 are so adorable... make more like these 😊
