► WHO WE ARE?
We are Gladys and Kenny, we finally made our dreams a reality. In January 2018, we downsized and take the steps to pursue our dream, to travel full time for as long as we can. We rented our house, moved into our attached studio apartment, and continued to travel on a part-time basis until it prepared us for full-time travel. On June 30, 2019, we left to travel the world full-time. The first stop was Bali, Indonesia. It wasn't a simple decision to leave our friends and family. However, you only live once and we didn't want to live with any regrets. We want to document our journey, so we recently did so with vlogs on KZbin and Social Media.
Join us. It's been one crazy ride so far.

This video is in your top 5 Star of your vlogs.... Awesome!!!!!

[@josuepelayomelgargala4231]

Soy peruano y agradecido por mostrar que solo Machupichu no es el Perú que tiene muchos hermosos lugares y muchas bendiciones en sus vidas.

[@GosCee]

That was amazing! It is certainly one of my favourite videos! The words of the song and the quote at the end were so fitting: "It is time to discover the world" and "To those who stay put," like me 😊, "the world is but an imaginary place. But to the movers," like Gladys and Kenny, "the world is all around, an endless invitation." Incredible! What a treat! Wow! Your host was amazing. She served with such delight. What are those little 3-wheel vehicles? Taxis? They are so cool, I love them. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

[@GladysandKenny]

Hi Gosnel, great to have you back. OMG so glad you enjoyed it. This is one of our favorite places here in Peru. We are just loving Peru!! We always try to find the right song for our videos. It can be quite challenging but definitely. Oh, and love adding the quotes. We hope it resonates with our audience. So glad you like it. ("It is time to discover the world" and "To those who stay put," like me 😊, "the world is but an imaginary place. But to the movers," like Gladys and Kenny, "the world is all around, an endless invitation.") Love it 😊 The host was simply amazing. We really enjoyed her and her family. The little 3 wheel vehicles were taxis. We rode in one but not sure what happened to the footage 😩 You are very welcome. Thank you so much for your support.

[@GosCee]

@@GladysandKenny, have a nice week 🤗. Looking forward to next week's video.

That place looks so interesting. I would like to experience a higher alttitude.

[@GladysandKenny]

Hey Jeff, it was. Just being there for 15 minutes we extended our stay. Love it!! Be prepared of it. Higher altitude can take a toll on the body. Thanks for watching.

[@GladysandKenny]

@minimalist thank we and we appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@aroundtheglobe9175]

Wow I am absolutely speechless 😶 What an incredible video❣️ Lake Titicaca and Peru in general is certainly on my bucket list for sure. The islands are beautiful and so was the stay. It has so many videos and the views are stunning 😍 I loved the tour to the Uros Island. I enjoyed seeing you guys interact with the kids and family. I can see why you extended your stay I would too. What an adventure. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. You both are amazing to watch. Love the positive vibes💕

[@StephenandAndie]

Lake Titicaca I love you 💕 omg guys this is the best experience like ever!! The floating 🏝 islands pretty dawn cool. The stay is absolutely beautiful. I would love to stay there. I am planning my trip to Peru immediately. You guys have convinced me lol Sorry you guys weren’t feeling well. Happy to hear you recovered so you could have enjoyed your stay. How many nights did you guys stay there?

[@GladysandKenny]

Hi, Minimalist Traveler, welcome back! You're the best! We love Lake Titicaca too lol. I have to agree with you this was the best experience. This place was simply the best even with altitude sickness 😂 You would not be disappointed when you visit. Thank you are so. We are glad we recovered pretty quick. Originally we booked for one night. But after being there for just 15 minutes we knew we had to stay longer. We stayed three nights and 4 days. The best decision ever. Have a great week. 😍

[@toddsikkila1623]

I'm loving your videos! Thanks so much for sharing. I feel like I've learned more/seen more about Peru from four of your videos than all the others I have seen. Appreciate you showing food, lodging, transportation too. What a lovely place!

[@ukulelesojourner5976]

We are traveling allover Peru and I just found this video. Very well done! We have added Puno to our list of places to see/visit. Thank you and great video.

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

You. haven't seen snow in two years!!!! Now I'm jealous. lol. Gladys is missing all the views, wake her up! You two find the most interesting and unique experiences. Love Valeria's traditional outfit. Even the walk to the restaurant was special. They really paid attention to detail. The altitude can really be a problem. Loved those outfits and that boat ride was spectacular. Continue living the dream. Safe travels!👍

wwooww beautiful plce my friend greetings from indonesia

[@BlancaRodriguez-rf3ll]

Please post link to book a stay there. Didnt hear you mention name of lodging. Please post info! 😍

[@RomboutVersluijs]

THis is beautiful, think about all the effort they must do to get everything up there.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

First video watched of you guys and really dig the vibe. I thought you were from a different country then the USA. Just read you both from NY. I hear this accent but cant seem to place its origin.

[@joshandadriennehodges159]

Hi Guys! Thank you for a great video! We booked 2 nights here in October because of your recommendation. We can't find anywhere online -- we see you did a tour of the Uros Islands. Did Titicaca Maria Lodge offer you this tour as part of your stay? Or, did you book with a touring company? Also, what did you do for lunch daily? Was it also offered but you had to pay separately? That would be totally fine - just want to be prepared. Thanks SOOO Much!! We can't wait to go!

[@movingtonorthernvirginia-s9117]

Great video!! Did you go to Bolivia? We're leaving for Machu next week and planned to enter Bolivia after Puno.....The embassy told me the border is closed this morning ugh.......they said we'd have to backtrack to Cusco and fly to La Paz....any update appreciated enjoy your next adventure.

[@vichar3000]

This is one of our most overlooked areas we have and probably the most beautiful one. I know that more and more will come to visit. So we all need to get involve to help the Uros showing their home to the world but still protecting their way of life.

[@CG68810]

Beautiful scenery and unique place! It's interesting that the place is so traditional and the people seem very traditional but yet they have created such a modern tourist attraction and place to stay. Sort of like what you would experience in Bali. The only thing was that a few times I was worried about your safety. First on the bus with the weather conditions. Next when you were on the boat going to the island that they didn't have life jackets for you in the event the boat capsized, and lastly the altitude conditions you dealt with. I wonder if there was a medical situation where the closest hospital or emergency team would be to assist you. That would be my only concerns. Have you had any issues with sickness from food or water when you travel to these places? Overall I am so impressed with your videos and the high quality and editing. It is like it is a professional tv show you would see on the Travel Channel. What are your backgrounds in? Your drone shots are amazing. Have you ever run into any issues with not being allowed to use them? Every country and locality are different I am sure. Thanks for taking us along.

[@trishastillwell2577]

Wow that is very neat. Thank you trustworthy and did you see any children around?

[@BEugeneFleming]

Question, Gladys & Kenny, do you guys speak Spanish ? Just started following you YT channel and seeing you spend a lot of time in the spanish speaking countries. Learning a lot from your travels !

[@AnthonyHolo]

So high up

[@GladysandKenny]

Hey Anthony, too high up 😆 but it was awesome. Hope all is well. Have a great week.

[@jessicacastillo2889]

I am half peruvian and bought a flight for november. I know things change but can you talk about traveling during covid times in peru???

[@StanJarzabek]

Which island.lodge was it?

[@dfgrendezvous]

Hi! Did Peru-Hop use their own buses for inter-city travel or did they provide tickets for buses run by other companies? I thought they used their own buses based on their website, but in your previous video from Nazca to Arequipa, it seemed that you went on a Cruz-del-Sur bus.

[@enneyehs]

Also when you were explaining about the saw, there was tapestry on "the ground" the cream-colored one, do you remember how much they cost?

[@GladysandKenny]

I don't remember the price, but it was not expensive !

[@GladysandKenny]

Hola Nmesis, sí, yo (Gladys) hablo español. Kenny está aprendiendo. ¿Dónde estás? ¿Asumo que hablas español? feliz de que hayas disfrutado del video. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de mirar y comentar. Lo apreciamos.

[@nmesis582]

@@GladysandKenny Yo soy de New York. Estoy aprendiendo español en este momento. Simplemente asumí que iría tan profundo tierra adentro. debes saber español. Grandes videos.

[@richardcallihan9746]

Thanks for sharing, such a beautiful way of life they have. Do they have to pay taxes? Self-governed? Does the lake freeze? Do they eat a lot of fish? Was Covid a problem there? Have 1000's of ??? I digress; That flame heater was pretty, looked like an alcohol flame?

[@enneyehs]

I love that your guide is a female :) She looks bad ass navigating the boat lol. About the water though, I don't know but I have some fear of the water. Has anyone slipped into the water jumping from the boat to the reed island? When the kids were in the "mercedes benz" I was so scared that they might fall.

[@GladysandKenny]

Victoria was lovely. Don't be afraid. It's very safe. No one has slipped into the water. The kids are very comfortable on the boat. It was so adorable.

[@carlosespinoza2453]

All that Area in your video is called Altiplano , what means high altituted plains .This area is shared within Peru and Bolivia. Fortunately in Peru 🇵🇪 is the wet area with a lot of wildlife as Guanacos, but also Llamas and Alpacas. In that area is cultivated Quinoa - Now the famous grain from both Countries

[@enneyehs]

What month did you visit?

[@GladysandKenny]

Hi we visited in June. Thanks for watching.

[@alveymodel]

Great video. I will be visiting lake Titicaca and want to stay in the Uros just like your guys. Can you tell me how and where did you book your reservation ? I would love to stay at the same place. How do you get the host (or someone) to pick you up from the land (Puno) and take you to the float island ?

[@GladysandKenny]

Hi Khun, you are going to love it. I used booking.com, and we stayed at Titicaca Marka Lodge. The host will pick you up. Her name is Valerie and she and her husband Jose are Superhost. You will enjoy your stay there. They also take you on a tour the uros it's included. Enjoy!!!

[@alveymodel]

Hey guys, I will travel to Peru next week and I have a last minute question about the rule of bringing a drone in Peru. I did some research online and I have different answers. From my understanding that I have to declare at point of entry and pay 18% tax and I will get the refund back when I leave Peru. Is that correct ? How difficult of dealing with custom ? And do I need any type of certification from the Government to fly the drone for recreational ?

[@kavitagurappaji1427]
