I just finished binge watching your videos since you publicly announced you were getting a divorce to the latest one. I’m a new subscriber here!! And Wow, let me just say you have easily become my favorite person here on CZcams. Although, I’m in a very loving, committed relationship, you gave me this unwavering sense of hope that no matter what happens, there is always new beginnings. And that they can be so damn beautiful. You are a rockstar. And if you haven’t been told today, you are changing lives. Your story is helping others. So thank you! And I hope you have an awesome day today. ☺️
This made my day - thank you for these kind words! I’m so happy you found this corner of the internet 🥹 I am so proud to call you a friend 🥰
Now you’re being young, wild and free and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! 🖤#TeamMichel
🥲🥲🥲 I’ve loved fully diving into all parts of life lately 🤍
You should visit Traverse City, Mi! It is an adorable midsize town with so many fun coffee shops, touristy things, cute neighborhoods, and nature preservation areas.
You would also have to hit Harbor Springs, MI! The sweetest northern michigan town on Lake Michigan!
Since I discovered you a few months ago, I've not missed an episode! You're so honest and inspiring. Love from Kenya.
Me too! I love your channel Michel. Going through same thing and although a lot older than you I find your videos so comforting. Thank you. From Wisconsin ❤️
I would suggest if you want a cute small town, Scenic views and shops check out Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island, MI. You'll find shops, restaurants, forts ect. The island is a nice day trip. You can walk or bike around the island and all the homes on the island are so cute!! There is butterfly Observatory on the island. Definitely worth checking out. Oh and there are no cars on the island but there are horses.
Yes, I recommended it as well!
Yes!!
I LOVE Mackinac Island!! They have horse back riding as well! I can’t believe how beautiful the water is there! Soooo blue!
Like looking at an ocean but it is actually a lake. So so pretty!
@@jessicaa3198 yes!! I completely agree! It’s incredible!
I grew up in Stillwater, MN which is the “birthplace of Minnesota,” and the most adorable historic river town. It has great little coffee shops, historic vibes, and usually has some fun events going on! You should check it out!
I literally just thought “I wonder if Michel posted a video”…yay!
AWE HI 🥹
Same here! Haha
Yes, I was busy for notifications 🙃 I’m so excited to watch the journey from my birthplace ♥️
My thought exactly!
You should plan a fall foliage trip to Asheville area and drive on the blue ridge parkway and go the a fall festival/apple picking in Hendersonville! Immaculate smaller town vibes 🥰 we did that last fall because we live in Florida so fall isn’t the same here & it was the best trip I’ve ever been on
Also I grew up a couple hours from Nashville in KY & then lived there some during and after college & it was so neat to see it through your lens just exploring it for the first time 😊💖
I lived in Asheville and second this!
Asheville and Hendersonville are wonderful. My brother lives in Flat Rock. LOVE it there. Also Brevard, NC is somewhere I love to visit when I'm visiting.
My BF and I take a trip to Asheville every year! Amazing hiking, breweries (we r beer nerds), and a really cool art scene! galleries all over the city.
I am so glad you had fun in Nashville and got to meet Chloe in person. I started watching Chloe because of you and I like her a lot. What a beautiful addition to your gallery wall.
It’s always a highlight of my day when you post a video! I’m so happy for you and all this incredible self growth you’re letting us watch! You deserve the world. 💕
I have been in the most awful mood today and I totally needed something chill, calm, and lovely to pull me out of it and this was perfect! Really loving your travel vlogs!
So nice to see you and Chloe together!! Love you both!! I enjoyed this trip!
You have to check out Savannah, Georgia! I visited there for the first time this year and fell in love! It's literally the most charming little town and the architecture and parks are soooo aesthetically pleasing.
I’ve heard sooo many good things about Savannah!! I definitely want to visit there someday!
@@kaylaskaggs9241 you have to!!
And you have to stay at the 1790 inn. It’s old and has history and a great restaurant. Can walk everywhere, no car needed.
Hello from a Nashville native! You saw a lot, and we are very much a smaller version of Austin. Some other places you might want to check out are Chattanooga, TN and Asheville, NC. Very scenic towns, Asheville is so beautiful and very artsy. There's about a million coffee shops there, you'd love it!
Loving the traveling Michel vlogs 😍✈️🚗🏞️
Small scenic towns are the best. Really enjoying these trip vlogs. Keep them coming.❤️
Love this and happy that you and Chloe got to meet for the first time in person that's incredible
So good. Love these travel vlogs! We get to see new places with you. It's really pleasant. Thank you for sharing!
Love this. I watch you and Chloe both weekly. 🙂 Nashville is my home town! It’s cool seeing you guys meet up and collab!
You inspire me, Michel. Out here living your best life one day at a time! Thank you for taking us along and brightening our days ♥️
I am so glad u have over come so much!! U have inspired me so much!! Glad u are going on trips!! Glad u are taken time for yourself and salt growing too. I miss ma and pa coming on here. Love how close you are with your family. I am also too. Glad u had fun in Nashville
Oh what a fun time, and such a cute little place, I'd never heard of the Sonder before, so happy you're getting to do all those fun things, enjoy it, and embrace the free girl time, you deserve this so much.
Not mad at the coffee and donut content..my two favorite things. Also, I love how comfortable you are vlogging in public to get the best travel content. Living for these travel vlogs!! Enjoy yourself and be safe. ❤️
Im loving these travel vlogs! Oregon has the cutest little beach towns!
Love seeing you living life with courage 🌺❤️
I smiled from start to finish on this vlog. I grew up in Nashville and seeing you visit all these spots felt so nostalgic for me. And it’s very wild the timing of your trip because as you arrived, I was at the airport flying back to Baltimore after a visiting family for a week 😂
Chloe's adorable! Love the solo travel vlogs. I did a lot of that while my husband was in med school. I'd come with him to his away rotations, we'd hardly see each other b/c he'd be so busy. I'd explore the cities and picture myself there. A lot of coffee shops, a lot of botanical gardens, and many art museums were seen.
I loooove your idea of collecting art from your travels! Functional souvenirs 😍
I enjoyed meeting Chloe. Y’all seem like you have known each other forever, I am loving your trip vlogs. Be safe❤️
Girl this video was so aesthetic and I noticed the extra effort you put into making us feel like we were with you. Setting up the camera on the ground to walk by when I know you had to go back and get it. Oh and the pink petals! Man I wish I was there a gf treat sounds yummy 😋. Commenting halfway through but thank you so far for the adventure it brightened my day
Hi, I started watching your videos a year ago and I am amazed at your growth. You are a lovely person, very strong, honest and fun and your videos are very informative too. Thank you for sharing your life with us, you always make me smile. A big hug ❤
Love your positive energy sooo much!!
I love your videos. Always waiting for your videos to come out ❤️🥰
Great to see you together!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 love your blogs!🌺🌸🌼💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
New intro song!! Love it!! New chapter, new beginnings 🥰😘
Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC!! So beautiful 😻
Loving your travel vlogs! 😄
Loving the travel blogs! I remembered it was Wednesday and dropped everything to see if your video had posted! I’d recommend Fairhope, AL, tons of great little shops, restaurants and coffee plus it’s close to the beach!!! 🏖🌊☀️
I love travel videos! I would love to be traveling more but this is the next best thing! 💕
Loving these solo travel vlogs 🥰
So cute. Would love to see Nashville at some point. Good job covering the cool coffee shops. Loved it. And love Chloe ❣️. You two together was adorable 🙂. Be well
You have really blossomed 🌸 , keep listening to GOD he's with you and he loves you so much. GOD bless you and max
Love your traveling vlogs ,glad you enjoying plus happy also to see you with Chloe ,I also follow Chloe ,so happy to see ur together ❤️,love it
Aww. Living vicariously through you. I went to college in Nashville and you really highlighted some of my favorite spots
Headed to Nashville this weekend, so excited to hear your recommendations! Also, I think a small town you would enjoy is Madison, Indiana. It's like a Thomas Kincaide painting come to life! The Ohio River runs alongside it, so there's a walking bridge over the water, vintage stores, and just so many sweet coffee shops, and even a winery. The architecture is stunning, as most the homes are quite old and very well kept up. Many of them have been turned into Airbnb's, and it's so convenient and fun to stay right in the heart of town. Can't recommend it enough for a small town, Midwest experience!
German girl over here😁♥️ I just love seeing you in such a great spirit. You are such an inspiration! Thank you♥️
Love seeing you explore!
This vlog was so cute! Very relaxing and uplifting. 💗If you ever come back to Nashville, I'd recommend downtown Franklin (south of Nashville), especially during festivals they have a few times a year! It's very charming and has those old timey vibes. And during the holidays Opryland has beautiful Christmas lights and activities! Can't wait to see where you go next!☺💞
I’m following both of you and Chloe, I love your thrift videos together and I’m so happy that you guys finally meet.🥹❤️❤️
I have enjoyed your travel vlogs, I feel like I’m the experience with you and much different then your usual ones. (I love both!!!) I hope you do some more traveling, it makes me want to make the same stops❤️❤️
So fun to watch you explore my hometown!
Michel, I’m from nashville. I just moved away about 8 months ago & seeing this makes me want to cry. It truly is the best city ever! I’m so glad you visited:)
Omg I started following Chloe after you two collabed!! So happy you’re finally meeting her!!💖💖💖
Plus! I love Nashville!! Going back this June for the sixth time since last year!❤️
Victoria, Canada is GORG! Scenic with old town vibes and tonsss of history
If you want a true small town experience with Amish, old town vibes, a candy store, antique mall, candle shop, and ice cream parlor as the main attractions, you should go to Grabill, Indiana! That’s where I grew up, and it’s absolutely adorable!
I’m relatively new to your channel and I’m hooked. You have the best quality cut videos I have truly ever seen. I love the aesthetic and vibe you have. Other content creators could learn a thing of two from you. Sending lots of love from Rome.
I'm watching you travel while I work...and you made me cry!! lol. I'm from Manassas, VA and grew up LIVING at the McKay's there. I had no idea they had other locations!!! I have a new goal to visit all of the McKays across the country now!! lmao. Thanks for the happy vibes today!!
Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable!
Love it! Nashville is fun & you hit up some great spots!
I love when you show nice coffee shop . Thanks .
Yay! I am loving your travel vlogs 😊 Small town recommendation that my family loves is Greenville,South Carolina. We are actually going again later this month.
You would love Estes Park Colorado. Thank you for your videos, they always make me smile. Give sweet Max a hug for me. 💕
All this travel is inspirational.
For your thrifted pictures for your gallery wall, you should tape I note behind the pictures that says where you got it, the date, and maybe even a photo of you from the trip 😁
Thank you for taking us all along to Nashville!! I've always wanted to know what it looks like when you are in Nashville. I'm really surprised you didn't check out the country music stops, the western clothing/boots 🤠👢 stores, & didn't take any pics by known country music artists hang outs. It's so nice to see you meeting up with a fellow CZcams vlogger...in person finally 😁. So happy you two got pictures together 😁📸!! **For the next trip look into going to Sante Fe New Mexico. I've seen many pics online of the beautiful courtyards, flowers galore 🌷🌺🌸🏵️🌻🌼💮, walkways with quaint lighting, churches with BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE & so much more!!** Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
Good morning michel happy Thursday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is amazing I loved your channel and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Quebec! Such beautiful architecture. I went there last fall when the leaves changed and it was beautiful - although definitely felt like winter there.
Hi Michel! I started watching (and loving) your videos recently. It is so cool to see a youtuber based on the same area as me. I've lived all over Austin for the last 8 years while working and going to school (now a little outside of the city near Bee Cave). I especially loved this travel vlog! Fiancé and I got engaged on that pedestrian bridge last November during this impromptu trip to Nashville and we are looking to make the move there soon. The city was a lot of fun while we were there but we definitely missed a couple more spots. So sweet watching this vlog and relieving those memories! Thank you for sharing. I'll need to check out some of Chloe's videos now :)
Totally reccomend following 30A in Florida and stopping at all the beach towns. SO many little shops, restaurants, and sights to see!
I'm a big fan of the travel vlogs, even when they're coffee and gluten-free donut vlogs!
Hehehehe coffee and gf donuts are apparently my few fav hobbies! Love you friend 🥹🤍
Fun times traveling to big small towns with so many quaint places to go too.
I love visiting smaller cities and towns too! If you are ever in the PNW, the San Juan Islands would be a great place to visit! There’s nice hikes, whale watching, a lavender farm- plus you get to take the ferry to get there ☺️
Absolutely love your vlogs
Best vlogger ❤ I've been to Nashville it's beautiful
I live close to Greenville SC and it's been growing in the last 8 yes, but still has smaller town vibes. Lots of little coffee shops too!!!
Love solo travels ❣️
Love your vlogs Michel! My suggestion for your next trip is St Augustine, Fl. I am a bit partial because I live there, but such a beautiful, special place!
I love your videos, especially your travel vlogs. Special greetings from Germany.
im going to Nashville later this year and this is so helpful!!!
I'm so glad you visited my home state! I live just south of Nashville, and it has a special place in my heart. Five Daughters, Frothy Monkey, Barista Parlor, and McKay's are major favorites of mine. :D (And I remember visiting that Farmer's Market as a kid!)
Welcome to Nashville! I love it here!
What a lovley Trip to Nashville wakking round with your lovley friend 🥰
you inspired me, michel! i'm going to san jose (CA) later this month to pet sit for a coworker but will be alone for 2 weeks and trying to be brave and do some exploring on my own. i'm really nervous but feeling super inspired by your trips!
Love your channel Michel. I am one of your Canadian folllowers. I've commented on your Instagram before. You are so lovely. I enjoy watching your videos. Continued happiness and growth for you. Also love the food taste tests. Those donuts....sigh ....yum!!!!😋😋
I have to go to Nashville. I love that she said they don't do chains. That's what I love about small towns. Great places to eat and shop that you can't find anywhere else. :)
Door County, WI!! Cute shops and plenty of nature!
Newport Road Island is adorable! Lots of industrial revolution elite history. Lots of charm!
Love your travel vlogs! I live in a town called Santa Cruz, in California. There is a ton of stuff to do here, and great coffee shops. We have the ocean, where there is a nice path all along the ocean and that runs into a pier and a boardwalk with operating rides. You can also walk out on the wharf where there are restaurants, a famous candy shop, and seals. We also have the forest, where you can hike and see bannana slugs. Come see it for yourself! June-August it is very popular and busy with tourists, but winter or spring time is nice.
German Follower here 🥳
Hearing you say Oma and Opa was so cuteeee 🥰 loved this vlog 💖
Im so happy you can do this, Omaha Nebraska has some really cool shops and antique stores right up your alley lol love your videos 💖💖💖💖
Love whenever you collaborate with Chloe❤️and love all these travel blogs as I am blessed to live vicariously through your choices🙏🏻
Is there any way for you to post your music utilized in your videos? Your music is so curated and I love it❤️
Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg (Tennessee) is the perfect scenic adventure! 😍 You would love it! I have been watching you for years. Grow sweet girl Grow 🥰
I think you would LOVE southwest Michigan! There are sooo many quaint little downtowns and they’re all along the Lake Michigan shore! I definitely get east coast vibes from those areas - even though it’s a huge lake 😂 South Haven, Holland (they have a tulip festival coming up), Traverse City and Suttons Bay! There are a few other small beach towns in between all of those places, but those are some of the best! Best time to go is definitely when the weather gets warmer! 💕
I just watched one of your videos for the first time today and now I feel I must binge watch. You seem so sincere and kind and love coffee..😉. I love Tennessee! I've never been to Nashville; however. But if you love small towns and good food and coffee..you should try Lititz, PA. Not far is also Strasburg which is also very quaint. Enjoy your trip! 😊
Skaneateles, NY☺️ my hometown! Its really nice and lots of nice little quaint shops. Right on the lake so its super senic! Theres a lot of hiking nearby and also Ithaca NY is BEAUTIFUL too. Lots of waterfalls and nature!
I just got back from Nashville. I was visiting my son for the 5th time since they moved there. so much to see and do!
Door county Wisconsin!! Literally all small towns you can visit over a long weekend super cute lots of antiques, State parks, and bed and breakfasts everywhere!
So weird haha, we just started planning our baby moon on Saturday, and we’re going to Nashville! So happy to have some recommendations!
Door County, WI! It's gorgeous! And there are light houses 😊
Loving the traveling vlogs🤍 I get excited when you have to try new gluten free food, maybe because I love food too 😂💕
GF FOODIES FOR LIFE 🥰
A few smaller towns that were a great experience- Boise, ID, Charleston, SC & Asheville, NC - food was especially fantastic in Asheville
