    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: ‱ 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY , we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. #Vanlife was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. đŸ˜ŠđŸŽ„đŸŒŽ

    What I'm loving about these 50 State vlogs is that you're really getting to show the real unfiltered USA! I think one of the main misconceptions about our country to those who are not from here is that it's pretty much the same from coast to coast. The people are the same, the food the same, etc. But nothing could be further from the truth! We are a country of regions, and each one has it's own unique personality. To me, that's one of the best things about the US. Maryland is the state immediately below mine and I love seeing it through your eyes. ❀

    I loved watching this! I lived in Maryland for 3 years, when I was stationed there, in the Army, many years ago. Maryland, and it’s people are wonderful. I really appreciated you showcasing the special things about Maryland. I am originally from Texas, live in Florida and just found your channel. I, like you, decided I wanted to travel and see the world before I settled down. Travel vlogging was not an option 30 years ago, so I joined the Army right after law school. Within 6 months of graduation I was living in Germany. Traveled all over Europe , Asia and North Africa during that time. Still go back once in a while. The next phase of my career, after I left active duty, has taken me all over Central and South America. I am still traveling monthly to that part of the world for at least a week, with an opportunity to live in Mexico City for two years. I love watching you because I feel like I’m traveling to some of my favorite places in the world I have traveled. Now because of you two, I have new places on my bucket list, starting with North Pole and Antártica. I feel like I’m watching my kids following in my footsteps. Look forward to your next adventures!!!!

    WHEW! I didn't think my first comment on your channel would be so emotional.
    I'm currently having a very bad mental health day. Lowest in a while. So I came to YT to distract myself. As has become the norm recently, your channel is my go-to. I watched Kara's 30th Castle Birthday and this video popped right after. I instantly busted out in tears.
    A little history- I lost my Dad in 2010 to cancer. He was my hero and my twin in all things. I miss him every single day. His Mom and Dad, with their 9 kids were born and raised in Crisfield, MD. I literally spent my entire childhood being regaled by countless stories of Crisfield culture, history, and cuisine from my Mom-Mom, Pop-Pop, aunts, and uncles. At 8 years old, my parents gave my sister and I the option of Disney World or Crisfield. I emphatically chose Crisfield, something my little sister was extremely salty about for a long time. 😅
    All that being said, this video popping up was absolutely like all of those family members who've past away, saying "We're here. You're not alone. We love you".
    So thank you so much for all you do. Your content is wonderful. Your light and depth of love shines through. ❀

Still would like to see Baltimore outside of the airport, which is actually in Linthicium (I may be writing that wrong). Such a historic city. With growing up in Colorado and living in California for over 30 years, it's fun to see these places that have so much more history. Yes, Colorado and California have history, but the east coast has that history dating back to the 1700s. Also, such a different beach culture between California and Maryland/Delaware. And Thrashers fries are pretty awesome. Dolles and Grottos Pizzeria are pretty great, too, if you're in the area. And don't forget Candy Kitchen!
