Ah wow, thank you for the amazing compliment ☺️ You really should take you VW to South America if you get the chance. So many amazing roads to drive and I would say the people are a little friendlier than the UK and Europe 😂

Baja is a stunning Peninsula, with amazing beaches you can camp on for free and watch the whales pass by. It's a shame Covid spot it a bit, but it was still probably the best place we could have been for the pandemic.

Yeah, this was an oldie now. It was very problematic at times trying to find somewhere safe. Once we ended up at the Rancho it was fine though and we probably enjoyed one of the better pandemic experiences.

Ruby has aged us a lot since these days 😂 It was difficult at first, but once we made the arrangement with Dane and Sabrina, we probably enjoyed one of the better pandemic experiences. Every night watching beautiful pacific sunsets and then sat around a fire under the milky way 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Hadn’t realised the camping issues you had during Covid. Scary times. Seems so long ago now. Poor Aimee too - I hadn’t realised that had happened to her - how awful! Thank goodness for that room and then the ranch! Looking forward to part two! 👍🏻❤️

It was really strange times. Everything changed so quickly. In the end, I think we enjoyed one of the better pandemic experiences. I still remember hearing Aimee's cry when she was attacked. Don't think I have ever moved so quickly in my life.

Ruby actually had her name when we bought her. They named her Ruby as originally her colour was more Ruby red. We painted her slightly darker, but felt like it would be wrong to change the colour too and we definitely couldn't change her name 😂

We are indeed. In fact, we recently made it to Ushuaia... The End Of the World. We made the decision last year to create this channel solely for travel videos and our original one was re-purpoused as everything else. The plan is to reshare some trip highlights in between editing, hopefully giving us more time to enjoy our travels. Thanks for checking this one out, be sure to flick through some other ones on here when you get the chance, we have taken Ruby to some pretty incredible places 👍

Cheers. It was an amazing road to drive. Stunning views of the Andes mountains. Ruby is originally from Budapest. She was imported into the UK and then we bought her. She was a mess when we got her and rebuilt and converted on a budget, which is why it is amazing she has driven us all across the world 😊
