The editing on this series has been better than most tv documentaries. Binged it all in one go.

Your thankfulness is what actually makes this series even more special. Not just that you're a travel vlogger, but that you're also thankful to the people whose lives have touched yours.

I came across this series by accident and it has become one of my favorite series to watch. Travelling across the US by train with your friends, but more importantly with your parents was absolutely outstanding and the memories that were being made were even more outstanding. I felt like I was one of your buddies in the train travelling across the country with you. As a fellow Canadian I look forward to watching your across Canada by train.

You shouting out your composer literally brought me to tears. You're a great friend.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not just a travel vlog, THIS IS AN INSPIRATIONAL Great job Mike and crew. Definitely inspired me to get out and do more bacon and travel videos!!!

[charredolive]

I've seen very few creators publicly acknowledge and humble their editors and camera crew like you do

Thanks for introducing us to the team that helps to make your adventures so engaging. Congratulations on your six years on YouTube. My life is richer by traveling with you online.

The quality of this series is what every YouTube artist should aspire to.
Almost as great as Michael Palin's travel films!
I'm crying with joy at this last adventure.

I'm a life long Alaskan and this whole journey has made me appreciate my state and our country even more. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey.

[johnjones]

this is genuinely one of the best vlog series I have ever seen. Probably *the* best actually

[RickTexas]

I always get emotional when watching your videos. You are so aware of the people you meet and the people that help put this together. The greatest gift is to get a thank you for the things you do, and the recognition of your help to others. I can't wait for the UK series, I know it will be exciting, educational, and just a lot of fun. Congratulations on your success.

Okay I am crying now, I loved this series but what I loved the most about this is that it didnt feel like this is your job, more like hey come along on my journey. What really sealed it for me was everyone you celebrated in this series, your parents, your friends and your crew. I could tell all of it was genuine.

"Be nice to people" - right there, you've summed up why your videos are such a delight and a large part of why you are successful as a content creator. Thanks to you and your team - so glad to have come across your channel!

[XMarkstheJourney]

Just finished watching all 10! Great work and great fun. Thank you.

I was stationed in England for 9 years in the USAF so I can't wait for the next series. It will be like Old Home Week! ....

Oh, Mike! I wrote a long thank you for this wonderful series and somehow lost it.At 75 please don’t think that I am as good as a 13 year old with this stuff. Basically, I just want you to know that, I who am not given to easy tears, am utterly choked up at the end of this series. I have gotten to the point where I feel as though I am actually with you on these trips. It is one of my joys in life to accompany you on your travels! You have inspired me to spend time traveling by train…which I love to do…to do some of the things on my bucket list. The challenge is which one first! Thank you a million times!

We unplugged from cable and satellite a long time ago and I missed the Travel Channel most of all. Thanks so much for posting your travels. Hope you enjoy many more!

Your channel somehow randomly came up on my YouTube main page and I'm glad it did! As a born and raised Alaskan I wanted to see how you got from Florida to my home state of Alaska by train lol.

I've watched all 10 episodes of this series and have loved each segment for how different and fun they've been and how fun you've made them.

I started watching to see what trains in Florida looked like and quickly started learning things about trains because of your videos. Along the way in this series though I started to realize, yes the trains are awesome and so different and are part of the journey but, they are not the most important part of the journey.

What I loved the most was your views on how the trains are a means of transportation to enjoy the moments along the way, enjoying the moments with your loved ones and with your new train friends.

I loved this series and can't wait to see more of your videos and hopefully some day have the privilege and honor of traveling on an adventure with you or at least someone half as cool.as you.

Just to throw it out there, and. I know it's a long shot but, I would be extremely interested in talking with you or your team about either joining you all for a trip, or coordinating some kind of special "travel Alaska bye (fill in thr blank) trip. We do have some awesome modes of transportation. How about a "Downie Live, Mike Downie travels Alaska by dog sled" 😉

Everybody in the car getting hyped when they hear "moose" is my type of energy. If you enjoy the journey for what it is, then it is so much easier to keep the travel stress off.
