Let’s be us

We couldn't be more excited that it's finally summertime here in Chattanooga, Tennessee! Tonight we took out the drone to get some beautiful sunset shots of downtown and the mountains. Notice how the mountains are covered in fog from the afternoon rain that rolled through the Tennessee Valley. Also, see if you can spot the Chattanooga Lookouts stadium. What's your favorite summer activity? Personally we're so excited to hit the mountain trails more and catch a baseball game soon! 🙂

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer.

From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

#vlogging #sony #review #sonyalpha #letsbeus #chrisandsara
Today we're sharing all about our BRAND NEW vlogging camera. In case you would just like a little spoiled alert, we chose to go with a camera in Sony's Alpha series and we love it! From our new wide angle vlogging lens to the camera itself, our vlogging routine has been totally transformed. We're not just talking cameras though-- we're sharing all about our vlogging drone, Gopro, computers, camera bags, and more! If you're looking to get started in vlogging or wanting to add to your gear closet, some of this vlogging gear might be for you. BUT, if you're new to vlogging, you do not need all of this gear. Take your time to add to your kit as you go because good quality camera gear can be expensive! Keep in mind we're not tech reviewers, these are just our real life experiences and gear we've loved so far.

As always, drop your questions in the comments below and let us know what gear you're shooting with! 🙂

We’re not big on clickbait content, but just this once, please humor us! We needed to get as many of y’alls attention as possible to say that we've officially changed our name from Let’s Be Us to just plain old Chris and Sara. It’s been a long time coming and we decided our 100th video would be the perfect time to make the switch.

You might be wondering why the change. Truthfully, Let’s Be Us is kinda difficult to remember. Most people think we’re saying This is Us (like the NBC show). We knew we needed something a little easier and we decided we wanted to keep it simple and easy to remember. Nothing fancy, just personal so that you (our audience) feels like you’re watching old friends instead of just strangers.

So, without further ado, welcome to our same (but different) channel: Chris and Sara. 🙂

Hunting Island and Beaufort, South Carolina are two of our favorite places in the southern region of the USA. We love visiting the beautiful, historic town of Beaufort and camping and lounging on the Hunting Island beaches. If you’ve never made it to this region of the country, do yourself the favor and get there asap! Both are a short drive from Charleston and Savannah (two of our other favorite spots in the USA!). This was our last stop during our mini road trip along the Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina coast and it was the perfect way to end a relaxing trip. 🙂

#ameliaisland #fernandinabeach #floridavacation
Welcome to Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida! During our week exploring the USA’s lowcountry region, we stopped in to visit Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island in Florida. This quaint, historic small town was the perfect place to spend a few days. While we could have stayed a lot longer, our time there was filled with beautiful walks down Spanish mosh covered streets, fresh seafood, and even a good beer at a new local brewery. We highly recommend visiting Fernandina Beach if you get the chance! Plan to spend a few days here so you get a chance to experience the beaches, history, and good food. 🙂

Today’s #travelvlog is all about #CumberlandIsland, #Georgia : one of the best kept secrets we’ve ever visited! Located in Georgia’s lowcountry, this island is FULL of adventure! Private beaches, wild horses, castle ruins, and more. We could have spent days there exploring all that Cumberland Island has to offer. Just a 45 minute ferry ride from St. Marys, Georgia, this island is truly a hidden secret to many and a gem to those who do know of it.

Side note: did you know Cumberland Island is run by the #NationalPark Service? This island is well maintained and similar to the remote experience you might expect in many of the nation's more popular #nationalparks. While the ferry makes it slightly inconvenient, to us that’s part of the charm! The limited capacity on the island thanks to the ferry ride + the remoteness makes this place extra special.

Have you been to Cumberland Island? Tell us what we missed and/or what you love about the island!

We LOVE visiting the best small towns in America. On our way home from biking the Natchez Trace Parkway we stopped in Laurel, Mississippi to see what makes this small town authentically wonderful. While the HGTV show “Hometown” is based here, the town’s revitalization both in business and real estate in Laurel goes back before the show ever hit TV. People love this town because for many, it’s home. It’s a place where friends gather, businesses grow, and people invest in the town that they all have in common.

From delicious cookies at Sweet Somethings Bakery and shopping at Southern Antiques, to strolling the giant oak lined streets of some of the best neighborhoods in Laurel, MS surrounded by some of the prettiest houses in Laurel, our one day in this town wasn’t long enough. We could have visited for days to meet more locals and eat and shop more of the best local places. If you’ve ever thought about visiting or moving to Laurel, Mississippi, checkout these places while you’re there! Have a suggestion of a place we should visit next time we pass through Mississippi?

Today is an unusual twist on our usual travel vlogs. We’re heading to the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Alabama to see where exactly all of that unclaimed baggage goes when lost luggage doesn’t get reunited with its owners. Clothes, jewelry, electronics, books, and even some strange collectibles can be found at the Unclaimed Baggage Center. This is a unique thrift store experience for sure and worth checking out if you are ever passing through north Alabama!
