I love that you’re gaining subscribers because you’re so genuine. No crazy shots, no setting up the camera and acting, no click baiting. You’re just a cool dude and everyone can sense that.

[@knightrc]

Sure he's a cool dude but Lars is the star. 😁

[@NikkiKNuvo]

@@knightrc people who say that are weird, and it comes off as underhanded. it's not funny; it's not cute; it's not just what cat lovers say; it's not any of those little unclever things you think it is. it just weird. every time.

[@knightrc]

@@NikkiKNuvo I like Lars. My cat is named Larry. But I call my cat Lars. It's what attracted me to the channel. Wish I could walk my Lars on a lease. Thanks for your candidness.

[@heathercampbell4600]

OMG. I'm in tears. This is how people should live. Not stuck behind desks in cubicles like rats, staring vacantly at computer screens, breathing stale recirculated air and waiting for the day to end. This is life! This is living! I can't express how happy it makes me feel to see this Mateo, and while I realize van life can be risky, the experiences are sooooo worth it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ronnier5182]

That’s how I live stuck behind a desk. Wish I could do this and travel but I have so many responsibilities that it would just be hard for me to do this. Maybe one day

[@mikem9892]

Absolutely. Great comment I'm 62 and wish I would have figured that out years ago.

[@laobejanegra926]

[@DowntimeArts]

Hilarious!

Mateo is out there living his BEST life… and I’m so happy for him. Life looks so much simpler when you surrounded yourself with good people. 🖤

[@robynrob9471]

He walks up to the flame spinner, "he'll probably say no". Guy immediatly hands it over and Mateo crushes. The serindipidous moments i love the most

[@TheKookyKennedys]

I’m not gonna lie I almost freaked out when I saw that fire get close to your arm in the beginning 😂 “I wasn’t scared….i shoulda been scared….i was a little scared” 😂😂

[@elizzbethjiminez4817]

Mateo, you're very creative in all that you do . Very blessed, young man. Hugs❤

[@RenWonders]

Mateo, I am so freaking proud of and happy for you! 💛 You deserve every single subscriber you've earned. I knew your channel would completely blow up when I found it, and now look at you! The road to 100k isn't so far 😉 also, I would've NEVER even THOUGHT to ask to hold that fire, and even if I did, my rejection anxiety would've NEVER let me ask! The fact that they said yes AND you got bonus sushi??? You inspire me all of the time. Genuine, good-hearted, funny, brave, talented: THATS how you ended up with the following you have now and will keep gaining 🥰 Much love to you and Lars!

[@antionettespeight5056]

If living my best life just me and my cat on the road was a person…..It’ll be a picture of Mateo and Lars in a 3 piece suit with shades 😂😂😂 Thank you for another great video!

[@deano4999]

What I Love about it is it don't matter your color, nationality, how big you are how small you are if you can dance or can't all HUMANS and animals ARE ACCEPTED..

[@dean4558]

Thanks for taking us along, hope you had an amazing time 💕💕

[@TLorraine]

The anticipation of your next video was real and you did not disappoint! It is so fun watching you live your best life! Thank you for sharing! What an amazing experience!

I previously warned that I would likely act a fool if I ran into the Astro anywhere.Mission Accomplished in Q! Have fun in Vegas. Don't let Lars gamble too much.

[@marcycrain4341]

Mateo, that was such a beautiful and memorable experience. The landscape shots at the beginning really captured how breathtaking the scenery was - it looked absolutely idyllic. I could really feel the positive vibes and enjoyment from everyone gathering to celebrate together. It was lovely to see you making so many new friends during the evening and enjoying the sushi they offered. Events like that yearly meeting are so important for bringing people together.

Sometimes it's good to just be in the moment and enjoy yourself, Mateo. You totally were and we were right there with you. What an awesome time! AND you got yourself some new skillz!! Get some fire twirling gear (and good health insurance... eek.) You can do the summer up/down the coast and 'busk' your way along. Maybe teach Lars to jump through a fire hoop? Lolol Joking.
