HELLO FRIENDS!! you can check out our new live streaming channel here! ru-vid.com/show-UCiiY0MsUgNihfAZ2ZgC19lg i hope you all are doing well, staying healthy, & had a good start to 2021!! thank you so much for your patience as we've moved, settled in, and are ready to get back to making videos again. i hope you guys enjoy our moving vlog :) xoxo, saf

The fact that Crusty was a street cat and is estimated to be about twenty years old makes me feel like he's just a person who got cursed to live as a cat.

This is peak relatable content: realizing two days into traveling that if you don't eat a vegetable immediately, you're going to lose your mind, and saying "cows!" every time you see a cow.

As a pet owner, the fact that Crusty's comfort was a factor in the decision to drive across the country during the move, makes me SO happy.

I know this video is like a year old and 40 minutes long, but it’s literally my comfort video. I always put it on while I’m cleaning or getting ready. It’s like hanging out with friends

the fact that crusty looks constantly disgruntled is my favorite thing about this video

The real reason they moved was to get away from the blueberry pancake smell.

Idk if Safiya and Tyler get enough credit for being the absolute top example there could possibly be of a healthy, committed relationship. This is the type of partnership everyone should aim for. When people say "marry your best friend", this is the epitome. I know a lot of your viewers are younger and it is SO important that they see this level of healthy communication and affection. It's also important for people more like me whose last relationship may not have been a good one. It makes me so happy to see both of you happy together. Thank you for sharing these glimpses of your lives with us.

I'm the kind of person who revisits the same videos and tv shows over and over for a sense of comfort. This video is in that arsenal. While I have rewatched many of Saf's videos, this one in particular gives me a particular sense of comfort and familiarity. Saf and Tyler's funny and sweet dynamic, Crusty, gorgeous views and locations, there's just something about this video that brings me calm and happiness.

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the fact that Safia and Tyler drove across the US for multiple reasons but first and foremost was to do what was best for their cat. That’s almost too wholesome.

If I was any earlier to this video, Safiya would still be engaged, betrothed, and affianced.

Who is watching this after knowing that Crusty has passed and is here because you wanna see Crusty (I know that I am here for Crusty) R.I.P Crusty we love u! ❤️

I honestly think that most people underestimate just how large the US is. I am so glad y'all got to your new home safely

Tyler's dad tracking the weather along their trip and calling with a warning about the ice storm is just about the cutest thing ever and also peak Dad.

Just wanted to say I really appreciate anyone with a platform coming out to just say "we're not doing well here right now" as a valid reason to make a change. Thanks Safiya!

When this video first came out, I wondered why they did it, because I had never seen something like this before. But today, I'm on my THIRD watch, and it's one of the most comforting things ever. I cannot pinpoint but there is just something whimsical, longing, and cute about this. Them wanting to stay close to their folks, driving for the cat, visiting so many cute towns they will never see again, and jus that vastness of it all - unmatched.

This, along with the Vegas hotel videos are my comfort videos. I’ve watched them so many times, I’ve practically memorized them.

The fact that they planned their trip around Crusty is just *chefs kiss*

You know safiya is an expert when she manages to make a 40 minute video about driving, captivating.

As a European it's still always amazing just how big the US is. Like, a one day drive can take me to Amsterdam, Paris or Copenhagen. And you don't even get out of one state. :D

Crusty seems to be incredibly healthy for a cat that old!

Tbh as a European it's mindblowing that Americans are so comfortable with driving for so long, if I were to drive for 40 hours I'd probably end up somewhere in Russia lol

"Going to Vegas with our cat and a giant hard drive" sounds like a movie I'd watch for a joke but then get irrationally attached to

I became a bit TOO invested in Safiya’s mug journey, and the bit at the end where she showed that she DID in fact get mugs from all the states (my brain was really happy about the Oklahoma one for some reason) made me way too happy than seeing 9 mugs on screen should have made me.

i genuinely want a relationship like theirs one day, they seem so inlove and so comfortable together, theure always laughing together and i love it 😩🥹

I can't believe I watched a 40 min long video of two people traveling with their cat , without skipping or getting bored

I feel like it's a new RU-vid wave of creators realizing they don't need to be in California. Which is great

When she said "peace out 2020" I just realized I am watching her exactly one year after she filmed it. -2022 Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS

Just came here from the passing video to cherish him again. Thankyou so much for caring so much about him that yall decided to move across the country through road for his comfort even though it would've been easier the other way. We'll always love you crusty

safiya is the only youtuber who can go rogue for months and i'll still stop everything and watch her video when it does come out

tyler just said “part of me thinks crusty is sitting there thinking ‘wow this vet is really far away’” and i am CRACKING UP

Was thinking about Crusty today and his great car trip with his humans. ♥️ Thanks for always sharing him with us, Saf and Tyler.

RIP Crusty

I guess we can say that Safiya has moved, reallocated, and shifted.

I love how Crusty has zero concerns about where he goes as long as the humans who give him food and pets are still there. He’s just like “ok, guess we’re doing this now. Wake me when there are snacks.”

It's a bit sad watching this after crusty is gone, they took such good care of him ❤

Saf chastising Tyler for his tiny jumps at the Grand Canyon is literally every wife/husband at the Grand Canyon lol. Also, as I watch more video, I realize that my family was driving from Minnesota to Texas right around the same time they were driving across the country the other way. Wonder if we crossed paths at any point? There was some nasty winter weather on that trip!

them making a 40 hour trip: takes 6 days, enjoy themselves a bit my fam: 20 hours per day, never stop, pain.

"wow this vet is REALLY far away" - crusty

Idk how... Idk why... But this has become a comfort video... I've watch/listens to it about 18 times ... And plus this time whilst I clean my room

Damn I can’t believe you gave yourself 6 days of travel time. My dad would’ve said, “Screw it” and made us do it in 2 or 3 max. 😅 Good for you guys for giving yourselves plenty of time and comfort for you and Crusty. May he rest in his all his glorious crustiness 🐈

by the third day crusty was just like “well this is my life now.”

I knew crusty was old, but didn’t realize he was 17-20. He looks good for his age

Don’t know why this video is so intriguing, but it is. Love the vibe of this couple. I’m a cat person, so the addition of crusty is interesting to me. Crusty is traveling really well. The scenery is great. And in addition I was born in Texas. This is 2 years ago, I’m just now catching up.

Just saw this. Driving cross country for you ancient cat was a super humane thing to do. Bravo

Thank you for stopping with us on your cross-country move! Good pick on our Fresh to Go cups. P.S. The art installation you passed in Oklahoma City is called Skydance Bridge, which is designed to look like Oklahoma’s state bird. We’re headquartered in OKC so you can trust us.

Safiya's voice and diction is so perfect, I would reccomend her videos for anyone wanting to learn and practice english. Clear, well enunciated, and not too fast!

the rewatchiblility of safs content is insane, I've watched this video at least 20 times at this point!!

Came here to see more of lil Crusty 🥺 rip lil guy

Safiya is like the least problematic youtuber. She can just disappear for months then come back and still got ton of views

Safiya is one of the few youtubers who can take a break for a few months, come back, and still get a bunch of views because her viewers love her

I'm not sure why but this has become one of my comfort videos - it feels like I'm on the road trip myself, and seeing you guys exploring and having fun on the road is just so relaxing!

lemme tell yall, if anyone to ever ask me my favourite video on youtube i would actually never be able to answer that, but after watching this video about 10 times i think this will be my favourite video on youtube ever ! i dont think ill ever get bored of it, yall are seriously the most wholesome fun light hearted funny and heartwarming couple there is, and combine that with a road trip that too through US and its just the best of both worlds!!!!!

when she said "its 21 degrees outside" my non-american ass was like "how tf is there snow on the ground if its 21 degrees"

I didn't realise I could miss a person saying "alright"

I would have been so tearful and overwhelmed and stressy this whole journey. You two are such a great team and what you did for El Crusto was so special

Crusty adored Tyler. I wish everyone was that sweet to animals.

I’m so impressed with how well behaved Crusty was the whole trip.

The real reason Safiya and Tyler moved...to get away from the smell of the Blueberry Maple Candle This is not a bath and body works add If you know you know...

Seeing New Mexico through “new eyes” always reminds me of how beautiful my state actually is.Y family moved here when I was 2, and I have lives here ever since. Growing up in NM in the 80’s&90’s was definitely a privilege. My family didn’t have a lot of money so my parents had to come up with things a family of 9 could do that wouldn’t break the bank. We did a lot of camping, hiking, playing outside(it was the 80’s so kids could do that). I remember as a kid every December we would drive up to the Sandia Mountains and chop down our own Christmas tree. I’m not sure if this ever ended up being cheaper than buying one from a Christmas tree lot because you still had to buy a permit to go do that, but it definitely made longer lasting memories. If y’all ever get that opportunity to visit New Mexico again there are some things I recommend. - The 1st through 2nd weekends in October the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is held. There are a ton of things going on in Albuquerque and surrounding cities that you can do during that week as well. - The Annual Greek Festival is always held the 1st Friday through the 1st Sunday of October at a Greek Orthodox Church in Albuquerque. - Craft Fairs starting the 1st weekend of October and going to the last weekend of November. - NM has over 100 breweries, and Albuquerque is home to around 20 of those. - Camping is BIG in NM. This is a late Spring to early Fall activity. - If you want to experience something you have probably never done in your life go camping at the KOA campgrounds in *Carlsbad, NM. And while you’re there make sure to visit as many of the caverns as you can. Some you have to reserve a spot for because they allow only a certain number of people down in them each year. Those are usually for the more experienced hikers because you have to hike to get to them, and then you have to do a lot of walking when you’re down in them. - °There is also the bat viewing. Yes, you read that right, the bat viewing. Every night(I don’t remember what time) all the bats leave the caves and go hunting for their dinner for the night. It’s pretty awesome to watch. - Winter is big for tourists in NM. We have some of the nicest skiing in the Southwest United States here. Take your pick of places. There’s *Taos, *Ruidoso, *Red River, *Angel Fire, *Santa Fe, and even the *Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque. I’m not big on the outdoor Winter activities so from what I understand from my sister and her husband who are big skiers is that Santa Fe isn’t that great, and the Sandia Mountains are for “newbies”. There are other outdoor activities you can do besides skiing and snowboarding if you visit one of these places in the winter. For instance, in *Angel Fire you can go on a horse drawn sleigh or wagon(I’m not sure which). They probably do this is the other ski resort cities I just don’t know for certain. The reason I know they do it in Angel Fire is because my sister did it a few years ago. *** Anyways, I hope this wasn’t too long of a post, and I hope that it has helped anyone who has come across it who was looking for something to do this winter. New Mexico really is a beautiful place with so much culture, and it’s so unique. And I might be a bit biased, but I think our food is the best you’ll ever eat. Lol***

This video is so comforting to me, I catch myself coming back here again and again because I feel so at ease watching you guys. Your attention to detail is phenomenal and your adventures look so fun, Love this!

I can't believe how emotionally invested I was in Safiya getting all her state mugs.

It’s unbelievable how well Crusty did on that trip. What a saint.

I know this video is like 2 years old at this point but it’s one of the videos I always come back to and I was just wondering what you actually did to entertain yourselves on car rides I just end up staring out of the window for hours on end but I don’t think that would work in this case. Love your vids ❤❤

This is my comfort video I watch this whenever I’m sad…. It just makes me so damn happy

My favorite thing about crusty is that he always has a disgusted look on his ancient face. I love it.

Saf has legit talent, she can make a 40 minute video of 2 people driving so entertaining

I’m rewatching this over a year later for research purposes! We’re also moving across the country CA -> NC and stopping by the Grand Canyon. Thanks for this. So helpful!

11:57 Safiya read out the temperature and I went, "Huh, that's not too bad." But then I realized she was talking in Fahrenheit. (21°F is about -6°C)

I think Safiya and Tyler are the only people that I could watch a 40 minute vlog of and not get bored

Saf is the only one who can be gone forever, show up with a 40 minute video, and have all her subscribers come and watch the whole thing

I love that you took Crusty! My family took our 16 year old cat to Texas (from Ohio) and back to Ohio and she seemed to have a great time. She had her food, water and the litter box on the floor and loved sun bathing the entire time

I watched this right when it came out a year ago, but I'm sitting here right now stalking this channel while putting together my formula sheet for a college course I am most likely going to fail. I love this channel so much, it has been a part of my life for at least 4 years now. Watching these videos brings my chaotic and anxiety filled mind to a calm by having it on in the background or me binge rewatching all of the videos. Much love!!

tyler: There‘s frost outside safiya: it‘s like 22 degrees outside *quick european confusion* Edit: Oh god I feel like some of you in this thread don't understand: I was playing at the fact that Safiya was obviously referring to 22 degrees fahrenheit. As a european I thought it was celcius in the first second which is why I was confused about the frost (22 degrees fahrenheit is -5 degrees celcius which is why the frost makes sense xD)

Crusty was so chill this entire video. That cat is so ancient that he doesn’t even care that his nutty humans put him in the car and just drove for days 😂

Dang, I can tell I drive across the country to much when I know exactly where all of these stops are on 40. 😅

Crusty cracks me up, his look says, "how did I end up with these crazy kids?" May his grumpy self rest in peace

Crusty sitting in the back of the car is one of the cutest things ever

I am now irrationally invested in Safiya's state mug collection.

i know im 2 years late to the party, but i just wanted to say in case you ever see this that *I* know what you're talking about when it comes to the great food truck race season 1. i still think about how nom nom truck won every single episode just to lose in the finale. im vietnamese so i took so much pride in how well their truck was doing and was honestly shocked as a kid that people loved banh mi. i still reference grill em all as some of the best looking greasy food i could ever imagine. i just wanted to say you guys are not alone in remembering that season

Rewatching this for good old Crusty ❤️

Crusty handled this like an absolute champ, my cats would definitely not be so poised and chill. +10,000 goodboi points

It still melts my heart that you guys rescued Crusty from the dumpster and treat him like the king he is. I love you so much for doing that.

This is literally my comfort video. I can't tell how many times I've seen it. But everytime my depression gets worse I find myself watching this video

My wife and I want to move from Los Angeles to Michigan to be closer to family again, but the idea of such a massive change scares us. It's currently the biggest single factor why we haven't done it yet ... the score and fear of doing it for real. 😭

And when the world needed her most... SHE RETURNED!!!

I love the fact that their decision to drive across the country is solely decided by the fact that they are making crusty the most comfortable

RIP royal crusty, we'll miss you dearly, enjoy in kitty heaven 💓💓💓

Safiya and Tyler: A very stunning presentation of Vegas, and your moving from California to the East. Look forward to view more of your grand personalities. We live in North Los Angeles, California.. Always keep the great utube talk. Always be the best that you can be, and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Joseph and Hope Fallon

Crusty is an angel, I can’t believe how calm he was through this.

as someone who isn't from the us, this was fascinating to watch

Two years late, but I’ve been collecting these Starbucks mugs for the past 5 years!! Love to see someone else doing this too.

This video is still one of my favorite videos, but it was also made during one of the hardest, darkest moments of my life. I'm grateful I had this channel to help me power through it.

As someone not from the States, can I just say that I found the entire road trip to be ABSOLUTELY ENCHANTING

I love how americans are always like "ah yes this is the narrowest part of the state" and then you see it and it's literally the size of italy and in the meantime i am here in italy being like "oh no 2 hours drive too much"

I feel making sure you're anxious fur kid is secure. It's why I bought a kennel that specifically fits in my somewhat small car so my puppy who is very nervous in the car could have a safe and secure place for her to lay down and relax and not be...well exposed to uncomfortable windows with stuff zooming by at like 65-70 miles an hour. She did much better in there laying down and sleeping than sitting uncomfortably on a seat. Crusty looks chill as heck! What a good kitty!

I dont know why but safiya and tylers videos are my comfort show i will rewatch all the time because they make me happy

As a New Zealander, it blows my mind that you could drive 8 hours and not even be close to the other side of the country 😅 reminds me how small we are over here 😊😅

I just wanted to say that as a Non-American, usually when people talk about tourism in America, they talk about the giant cities and urban life but I truly realized how beautiful life is outside of the cities in your video. The scenery by the roadside, the buildings and architecture in the towns is truly amazing and makes me wanna visit. Kudos to you for showing another side of America

It is so funny, because at some point I started quoting Tyler when he said 'Crusty, you're a mountain lion' and now I tell my cat exactly that everything he climbs on the back of the couch😂❤ RIP Crusty, you've been a grat guy❤
