- The United States of America has been on our bucket list for as long as we both can remember. We finally had the opportunity to tick it off the list and fulfil a dream of travelling there together.
We visit Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York City embracing full tourist mode while exploring the cities on this adventure!
Thanks for watching!
I swear there I clicked no adverts mid video and CZcams is playing an advert in the most inconvenient place!!!! 😢
As an American I really really love to see foreigners arrive here and appreciate this country. We are so lucky to live here and so many lack the perspective to realize it.
They went straight back home and told everyone they know that america is a shithole dumpster fire.
As a Philadelphian who has been to Manhattan hundreds of times, I’ve realized how little I stop and appreciate where I live. We Americans often take it for granted. Thank you for this awesome video. I hope you come and visit again soon! Got some cheesesteak spots tourists don’t know about 😁
You must be a filmmaker! The filming, the editing and the storytelling all had me with a tear 😢. Excellent job my friend
I've watched a number of videos of people visiting the US for the first time but yours was done in a way that had me choked up the entire time. I live in the US but haven't visited a lot of places in a touristy manner. I've been to Philadelphia many times and NYC quite a few but haven't done a lot of sight seeing and now I'm seeing how much I've missed. You made me see my own country through new eyes and I really really appreciate that. I hope to see videos of you going many more places so that I can live vicariously through you. I'm shocked your video doesn't have 100x the likes and comments, it's so well done. Great work.
It got me choked up too, and I'm not even American.
We appreciate you coming to the states!!! God bless you!! As an American I love seeing people come here
Thank you so much, we absolutely loved our time there! Already looking forward to come back one day ☺️
Shot like nothing I have ever seen, absolutely stunning camera work. Gave me a moment of tranquil in my busy life, thank you.
Every time I get a comment like this, it makes me rewatch the mini film we created and it brings back the memories!
Awesome photography/videography and editing! Good job.
Amazing video. I'm 42 live about an hour and a half from NYC but have only been there a handful of times. I've been to Washington DC one time. I have to say you two saw and did more than I ever have. Seeing you two appreciate the sights and sounds and tastes of America was great. Not to sound lame but your video brought a tear to my eye how much some Americans take for granted. People risk their lives to come here yet some people that live here hate it. Sad state of affairs. But anyway, great video! ❤🇺🇸
This is the best video I've seen of people visiting the U.S. from another country. Thank you for showing such respect and positivity. I hope you have an opportunity to come visit us again and that you both continue to fulfill your bucket list dreams ❤
Wow what a kind message, thank you so much! We really hope to come back and see more of the U.S. one day ❤️
Great video, guys. We as American's love when people tour our country and have a good time.
You guys are amazing filmmakers, and made some excellent music choices here. I've been to DC and New York City more times than I can count and this video still felt like an adventure.
Thank you for coming to my country! You guys are the perfect tourists, very respectful and smart. Next time come to California on the west coast!
You folks are ADORABLE! Loved the looks on your faces in NYC you looked so amazed and happy. Glad you got to visit some landmarks the brought you joy.
Thank you so much! We really were amazed, loved every second of our time there!
The camera-work and editing is incredible! Well done cousins from across the pond. :)
Thank you 🥰
Your editing and cinematography are out of the world!
I was going to say exactly the same thing. Even the music is great.
Thank you so much, this means a lot to us 🥰
As an American I sometimes forget how beautiful my country is, thank you for reminding me! Stay happy friends
We loved it!
Always loved your videos but now loving them even more! You've really upped the production quality. I adore the close ups of Kelsey's reactions 😊
Thank you so much, it means a lot to us 🥰
My dad was born and raised in Philadelphia! Then came down south, married my sweet southern mom and never left!😊
Just saw your video on the L3WG Reacts channel. You're such a lovely couple, and so I'm happy that you enjoyed your time here in America. Subscribed!
Thank you so much 🥰
A beautifully narrated video and so well captured .
Thank you so much!
Welcome to America! Great video of the big 3. Isn't Elfreth's Alley charming in Philadelphia! I was born in Philadelphia. Have a great time in your travels. Are you going to Boston?
The most charming street I think we’ve ever seen! We loved our time here ☺️
Beautiful video. I'm so glad that you decided to visit the USA. Your reactions were very touching to me ... the Lincoln Memorial, the Liberty Bell, and the top of the Empire State at sunset. I hope you'll come back some day to see more of the U.S
Thank you so much! We definitely want to come back to the U.S there’s so much we want to see 😁
Your videos just keep getting better. Great editing, perfectly matched music and terrific filming. Well done. I’m not sure how you can get much better. Looking forward to more videos to come.
Thank you so much, this means a lot to us! We’re glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
Great vid. You captured New York very well. Enjoy your time here in the states. So much to see.
Thank you so much! We’d love to see more!!
I hope you enoyed your time in the states. Thank you for showing places of my country I haven't been able to see.
Amazing city, glad ye enjoyed it....
Thank you!
As always, I enjoyed your travel blog.... Living the dream! Your final summing up brought a tear to my eye !
Thank you so much Diane 🥰
Excellent video of your first days in the USA. I hope you will go to different parts of the country as well. That sunset from the Empire State Bldg was absolutely amazing. Safe travels.
Thanks Jeroen! The sunset was insane! Unfortunately we didn’t have much time in the US as we had a couple of group trips booked for Morocco and Egypt! Thanks again!
Great editing and music selection. Well done!
I've spent my entire life in Georgia. I should really travel more. Great video!
You guys did a great job , like a professional love letter to America. Great music also. You give us Americans a wonderful feeling seeing how much fun you are having here. Best foreign visitor video of the USA ever!!! Thanks so much
Andre from European Reacts reacted to your video and I thought I would come over here and leave you a like and a comment. I also wanted to say that you two seem like a delightful couple. Some awesome photography by the way.
Thank you so much, we appreciate this so much!
Impressive vid guys. Glad you enjoyed your time. Editing and filming was superb
Thank you! 🥰 glad you liked the video
A Native New Yorker, it's nice to see the city from new eyes :) Wonderful video :) Hope you had a great time here. Be glad you came in February, cause in the summer, the city gets very hot. Hope you come visit us again soon :)
Thank you so much! We definitely want to visit the US again, there’s so much we want to see 😀
As someone who lived in Philly, you need more than a half day there!
We agree!! This was a very quick trip but we definitely need to come back and see more!
Glad you two enjoyed your trip to the US. We live in the Midwestern state of Indiana. We were in NYC just a week after you were, also visited the 9-11 memorial and museum. It was a very moving experience to say the least.
We're not as well traveled as you guys, but next year we're heading to visit your side of the pond and spend a week in London. We hope to enjoy it as much as you enjoyed coming here.
I have been to all these places, a NYer born and bred and now live not 10 miles from NYC in North NJ and still enjoy NYC so very much.
I am so happy you guys had such a great time. Believe me when I say I had the same sense of awe and history when I visited our nation's capital and places less familiar than NYC , as when I have visited Philly many times.
Thank you so much for your gracious point of view and your beautiful perspective!
Great video Ash & Kels! You did wonderfully in conveying your joy experiencing the different landmarks. Your energy was infectious. Glad you guys enjoyed your trip!!
Thank you so much, we loved it!
I really enjoyed your video, it was so well put together and the background music was delightful. I actually saw this video first from a reaction channel and I was compelled to come give a thumbs up on your channel. I think you would have loved seeing the cherry blossoms in bloom in Washington DC had you been able to plan your visit during Spring time. The sunset from the Empire State Building was the perfect ending. 💗
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! Seeing the cherry blossoms would have been amazing, we would have loved that! We can’t wait to come back to the US to see more ❤️
loved this video just subscribed and I just discovered you guys because l3wg reacts reacted to this video anyway I can't wait to see more content and thanks for posting! best wishes :)
Thank you so much!
Good to see you both..a long way away fromthe first time i saw you both in our Australia....
Glad you safe and living your dream.. seems you haven't slept since you got to America..
Stay safe..🙏🤗
Definitely! Thank you so much 🥰
this is one of best youtube videos i've seen you two guys do a great presentation I just subscribed to your channel
Fantastic video. I loved seeing the U.S. through your eyes (and camera) ! ❤❤
The difference of the US to other states is that you can enjoy some cities and also nearby nature, with beautiful landscapes, NPs
and natural wonders.
There’s so much of the US we want to explore, especially the national parks!
I'm happy you enjoyed Philadelphia and the cheesesteaks!
The Winter time makes every place more natural , beautiful. You dont have all the tourist and crowds .
The presentation and the genuine appreciation were beautifully done. I'll echo everyone else in saying it's the best video I've seen on a first U.S. visit. You both seem so excited in your curiosity that I'm now interested in watching you appreciate other parts of the world. Subscribed and thank you!
Thanks! We’re still trying to find our style of filmmaking and storytelling so seeing such a heartwarming response to this video is motivating, thank you! 🥰
Luv this Vlog! Excellent Romantic perspective of your American experience particularly your NYC vlog. Perfect music, crisp beautiful video. Completely enjoyed your cinematic talent! Looking forward to seeing more video of you exploring the USA. Such Great Vibes❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
Your cinematography skills is top notch Hollywood next level bro. Feels like I'm watching National Geographic channel. Awesome video...Keep sharing yiour travels!!!
thanks for the kind words, it’s funny cause 90% of this was filmed on an iPhone 14. Took the drone clips off canva and mate a couple shots off the camera 😅
I live in Washington DC and it’s honestly a very pretty city in the mall and I love history which makes it better. I was in manhattan in March so I was there not long after you guys and it was my second time going there and it’s such an amazing city
We found Washington to be really well laid out and really clean, although we didn't venture far from the centre
Each state has a sister country, so that is why you may see different country flags flying.
Glad you enjoyed your trip to our great country
'could you give the name of the song in the first part, I loved it thanks
I'M AMAZED YOU DID THIS . I WISH I WAS EVER ABLE TO SAVE ENOUGH TO TRAVEL REAL FAR . I too saw these cities when I was young(35 yrs back) ,ID LIKE TO SEE ISTANBUL. Thank you you tube .5:05
so glad you enjoyed the usa :) would love you to be able to see the pacific northwest when you come back!
100%! There’s so much more of the U.S. we want to see! This was a really small trip but we’ll definitely be back!
@@AshandKels i’m glad! you should come visit portland next time if you get the chance. be sure to come to a timbers game if it’s during the season!
amazing video loved watching it!
Thank you 🥰
I’m so happy that you went to Sonny’s in Philly! My favorite place for cheesesteaks! Tourists usually go to Pat’s and Geno’s, but there are so many other spots that are much better!
Sonny’s - “You can’t beat our meat” 🤣
Loved this video!!
Thank you so much!
We are planning our trip there next year too
your video was very inspiring. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful time while you are here! Loved the music and great job editing,
WELCOME TO AMERICA!
Thank you so much, we loved our time! We hope to come back one day and see more ❤️
As a born-&-raised Philly area person & being part Welsh myself, there have been decades of Welsh influence in the Philly area and plenty of places with Welsh names like Bala Cynwyd, Bryn Mawr etc.- Howdy!
(From a daughter of history buffs - who can blame us when the home of my ancestors from 1738 is still in the area for people to visit😂 that's saying something)
Great video!! Plus editing was top notch! Bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I saw your video on another reaction channel and found your skills in videography to be excellent. Even your choice of music to accompany your vlog was well done. Great Job.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate the kind words 🥰 it gives us more motivation to keep creating so thank you 😁
There are so many Americas. The country is so large, each aera has it's own culture. There are at least three different cultures in California alone. Los Angeles is so large and so old with so many subcultures, but if you ask they are all from LA. Not the US, but LA.
It's a wonderful place.
I just found your channel through the reaction of L3WG. I must congratulate you on your video/editing/reactions/music. Yours is the best I’ve seen of this genre. I just subscribed your channel and look forward to seeing some of your other videos. Safe travels.
Thank you it means a lot 😁
Cool sunset
Great music guys!
Thank you!
Older American, originally from New York, here. Absolutely beautiful video. You are such a beautiful couple. Your faces must be sore from smiling so much. As someone with no video or creative abilities, I am absolutely amazed at the production quality & can't imagine how much skill is required to have produced a video like this. Your video conveys so much such honest emotion & wonderment, well done.
First of all we just want to say thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely comment 🥰 We thoroughly enjoyed our short time in the US (hopefully that was conveyed in the video) We shot 99% of this video on our iPhones and got a couple of drone shots online or the NYC skyline & then the video was edited within one day using a free trial version of Final Cut Pro (editing software). Thanks again 😁
Thank you for responding.
Wow what a video, really enjoyed this. Love from Chicago!
Thank you 🥰
Enjoyed seeing your visit of the USA through your eyes. Had to smile when you went to the Empire State Building Observatory since I work on the 61st floor.
Thank you! Wow no way? What a place to work 😍
Great video! Thx&see ya😁
Très belle vidéo.
Merci
Older American here, again. I would love to hear you talk about your observations, impressions & experiences interacting with "average Americans" in their native environment. How did your experiences & observations compare to your expectations?
Every interaction we had with Americans in the USA was positive, even the guys outside 7/11 😅
pozdrawiam jestescie faina para uk ireland poland 😊
Thank you ☺️
Just found the channel. Hope you come back and explore the South and New England. Very different🙏
Thank you! We definitely want to come back and see more!
*So many people say:* _"from up here you can actually see that NYC is an island"_
It's amazing how many people don't know it isn't an island.
@BABYLONISDESTRUCTION710
_"Manhattan is an island. Brooklyn is part of Long Island."_
@BABYLONISDESTRUCTION710
_"okay what's ur point"_
Glad you visited the North East!
Can't wait to see more of the country!
The Empire state building security were rude and their security was way over the top. Much worse than any airport. I would not recommend going there.
Hollywood and LA next time!!!
The US Northeast megaregion comprises only 2 percent of US territory. It extends along the coastline from Washington DC to north of Boston into southern Maine. Watch the attached video to find out why it is by far the greatest concentration of wealth on earth. If it were a separate country it would have the third largest GDP in the world only behind the remainder of the US and China. Washington DC is the political capital of the United States, New York City is the economic capital of the world. California is also very wealthy but this dwarfs it. czcams.com/video/B1uBBXJR998/video.html
I’m so happy y’all got to visit!!! I hope everyone was friendly…The Whitehouse is the President’s private residence. It’s designed purposefully as reminder that we don’t have a monarch but a person elected by the people to work for the people. The Capitol Building is where all legislative matters are tended to. They are also separated on purpose to represent the USA 3 branches of independent government for checks and balances.
Everyone was so friendly!! Thank you for all that information!
Very pleasant video guys. I liked your fun spirit and respect for a part of the world that’s only 250+ yrs old. Realizing who graced the streets both celebrity and poor. America founded by God, greed, and war, not unlike most places in the world, but put on the map, through film, captured many dream seekers, and ambitious hustlers. A kin to the popular streets of London, we take for granted the magnificence of Rome and Egypt that have long past its prime. Your video has brought out the writer in me, I thank you for sharing your dream and adventure with us. God speed, and God help and continue to bless America.
Thank you! So much more to see, we can't wait to explore more of the country
Fantastic video and you did a super job on the editing!
Did you have pizza slices in NYC?
Thank you! We got a pizza from the popular pizza place by Times Square, Joes I think it was called
Go to the DC hoods next, you’ll love it.
The shot of Ash bathed in the glow of Times Square at 12:33 is perfect!
Reminds me of this scene from The Grand Budapest Hotel when Agatha falls in love with Zero: czcams.com/video/qwO-el2TfG8/video.html
TRIVIA: The White House was not named as such till Teddy Roosevelt was president.
At least you didn't blow off Philadeelphia, but you did miss Baltimore's Innefr Harbor and thee National Aquarium
Als keep in mind New York City is th most Photographed city in the world. ven ahead of Paris
Sad that you never got to see ANY of the Smithsonian Museums, or the National zoo, National Arboreatum(Ok it WAS winter)
You didn't comee out to Virginia and see Mt Vernon or Washington's mill Or see a concert at Wolftrap, or at Merriweather Post Pavillion Again it WAS winter, but DAR Constitution and Gaylord National Resort are Year=round venues. So is the Birchmeer in Alexandria and while there you should have seen Old Town Alexandria or tried some of the Georgetown Bars or while you are that close National Cathedral,
We went to the museum of national history and the space museums while in Washington, just didn’t get any good footage to use 😅
@@AshandKels I have always been able someething good at Air and Space.
Next time since you'll likely be at dulles Airport anyway the Air& Space Museaum's Udvewr Hazi center out there is, like Dules main terminal made to be photogenic.
Wonderful video of my beautiful country! Praying President Trump returns to heal our land!🇺🇸
Bet your feet hurt from walking in them Chuck Taylor .
They actually didn’t, we’ve had converse for years so are used to them 😂
They seem like very nice folks, but I can't understand a lot of what she says.
!Just keep in mind, New York is "Like" the reest of the US but the rest of the US is NOTHING like New York
The White House(the People's House) was huge for it's time. Not palatial....by design. The Capitol...the seat of Congress...had to hold way more people with offices for all plus aides,etc.🤷♀️. Note: don't they all look closer together on t.v.?🤣🤣🤦♀️
I wonder WHY you have visited 55 countries first? Perhaps you were saving the best for last? That's the only answer that makes any sense. Also, you need to tour this vast Country. You only touched upon 3 states within the "tri-state area" on the East Coast. Looks like you had a week to "tour" America.
as a Philly native, one day here is best haha
We intended on staying more but somehow only booked one day! However, we went to get the bus to New York and realised we'd booked it for the following month 🤦♀️
As a Philly native I disagree.
If you only go to the major cities, you will never truly know America
what is a meter?
Nice friends ❤️😊🇺🇸 enjoy life days
Thank you ❤️
@@AshandKels 😊❤️
You must be a filmmaker! The filming, the editing and the storytelling all had me with a tear 😢. Excellent job my friend
