[@LoRe-lj3nh]

aww Thanks for coming to El Salvador and for those kind words.

[@alexalvarenga1690]

I just watch this video, and is really amazing and is nice that our country welcomed you, El Salvador is a magical country with beautiful places. We are not the best city for bikes but we do our best

[@WojciechWargin]

Ich bin leider schon, mit Euren Berichten, durch. Das was ihr macht ist einfach unglaublich. Fahrrad fahren, so wie ihr, ist mein Traum gewesen. Jetzt ist das, wegen Famile, noch möglich. Ich warte auf die kommende Videos. Gute Fahrt, bleibt gesund und weiter im Glück.

[@louisaandtobi]

Vielen Dank! Es kommen bald neue Videos. 😊

[@FreeVeri2112]

We are really deeply impressed by your long and beautiful journey around the world. Your videos are amazing and as we were cycling in Europe for only three months 10 years ago, we have some kind of own experience of what it physically means to travel on bikes for a longer time. But this was nothing against your trip through all these hot and humid regions with nearly no comfort. We have great respect for you!

[@louisaandtobi]

Thank you, glad to hear that you are enjoying our videos! 😊

[@Cycle-Tourer]

Very optimistic video, Good vibe.

[@louisaandtobi]

Thank you! 😊

[@Alvinaeb]

Thank you for your tours around I could only wish to do and experience what you are. You both are lovely. I wish the videos were longer : )

[@louisaandtobi]

Thank you so much! 😊

Die Folge von El Salvador war ein High-Light. Sehr entspannt, so wie es das Land scheinbar auch ist. Und die Intros werden immer besser! Der Soundtrack ist wie immer sehr gut, was die Qualität eurer Videos stark steigert. Danke und schöne Grüße aus Österreich!

El problema de la basura en nuestro país es un problema muy grave, muchas personas no tienen conciencia de que tirar basura es malo para todos, los humanos, los animales, la flora, en fin para todos, y por lo tanto es necesario implementar políticas integrales en cuanto al trato que se le da a la basura por parte del ser humano...

[@MrJx4000]

Here's what my translation program gave me: _"The problem of garbage in our country is a very serious problem, many people are not aware that throwing garbage is bad for everyone, humans, animals, flora, in short for everyone, and therefore it is necessary to implement comprehensive policies regarding the treatment that is given to garbage by the human being..."_ I hope you do manage to fix that problem. Your country has so much potential to be a better place to live so that your people don't have to flee northwards towards the US.

Excellent video!

[@Seajunkie]

Lovely !

[@louisaandtobi]

Thanks 😊

[@apaul1305]

Thank you for sharing your life on the bicycle in a very Sympathetic way. Was interesting to see that you also stop at Red Cross places! Do they share beds to sleep? I thought I saw some bunk beds behind? Are you some how “church related” or just enjoying the Christian hospitality? Take care and enjoy your ongoing trips!

[@louisaandtobi]

The guy at the Red Cross station did offer us the beds, but we preferred just sleeping on our mats. 😊 No, we are both not “church related” at all. 😅 But churches thankfully usually offer a nice, safe place to rest. 😊

[@arcoulant87]

Chapeau, nice video.

[@louisaandtobi]

Thank you! 😊

[@rolorickin4986]

Very Nice video, what an experiencia!!!

[@ultimasolucion6904]

Hmmm this video is about El Salvador, but I see honduras in the title Interesting to see these places through your lens

[@louisaandtobi]

Yea, at the end of the video we go to Honduras as well ! 😊

[@ultimasolucion6904]

@@louisaandtobi I see, I should have watched the whole video Which of these places would you recommend visiting if only one and not all of them?

[@louisaandtobi]

@@ultimasolucion6904 We really enjoyed El Salvador as it was not yet too touristy. But it really depends on how you travel.

[@ultimasolucion6904]

@@louisaandtobi food and safety would probably be the major factors I think I've heard El Salvador is relatively safe , how did you feel? And Guatemala and Honduras ? Of the three which had the best food but also you felt comfortable ? Also throw in Mexico and Nicaragua I'm not sure how many of these countries you have visited Thanks ! I am just curious and might decide to start traveling

[@louisaandtobi]

@@ultimasolucion6904 We felt pretty safe in all of Mexico and Central America, but of course this may depend on the exact areas you travel through. Guatemala has pretty amazing landscapes but is in some areas very touristy… and there is a lot of trash everywhere. As we only spent two days in Honduras we can’t say much about it, but had a nice time there. Food in Mexico is also good and the people are very hospitable. But here it really depends if you’re on Baja or on the mainland. Nicaragua is much cleaner than the rest of Central America and has some nice landscapes by the large lake. And yea, El Salvador was probably our favorite overall for the nice empty beaches and few tourists. And the Pupusas are also great! 😊

Hello from Ukraine! Nice videos 👍

[@louisaandtobi]

Thanks 😊

[@patrickmartel3169]

I probably haven't watched enough of your videos to figure it out yet ... am wondering if your vegetarian ... and if so found it difficult in any country ... thanks again for sharing your beautiful adventure ...

[@louisaandtobi]

We were strictly vegetarian for the first 9 months of our journey, as we had been vegetarian for many years before at home. But at some point we decided to sometimes eat meat again, not just because it’s pretty difficult in most places, but also because we felt we were missing out on the culture a bit by not trying local cuisine or declining offers from locals. We still always only cook vegetarian/ vegan but now also try dishes with meat.

[@thomashosch930]

Very nice video. Do you speak Spanish also? What brand of bikes do you have?

[@louisaandtobi]

We’ve both learned Spanish along the way and Louisa is already pretty good! Tobi has. Wheeler Trekking 8700 and Louisa a Hercules Superior. Two old frames that we’ve customized.

[@thomashosch930]

@@louisaandtobi Thanks for sharing your adventure. A lot of people dream of what you are doing. Few actually do it. Blessings to you.

[@FAH99602]

Add shorts for subscribers because you guy's visited so many countries but subscriber are less. I love the way you guy's doing it. Best of luck for more.

[@PInk77W1]

How hard is it to cross the border(s) ? I want to ride from Panama City to San Diego

[@louisaandtobi]

Most borders in Central America are relatively easy. For Honduras you need to fill out a form online in advance and Covid vaccinations might be mandatory for some countries. Nicaragua is the only difficult border as you need to fill out a form online beforehand and get a PCR test. They also have a proper customs check with X-Ray, etc. which takes forever!

[@fc37]

Great video, but u only saw a little piece of El Salvador. I’m a Salvadoran living in nyc & travel back often. It’s still unspoiled so far & hope they preserve it. My biggest worry is that white Americans will ruin it as they destroy everything and place they visit with their bad habits, lack of culture, uneducated toxicity! However, everyone else is welcome! Keep riding 🇩🇪!!!!

[@antoniocardoza9364]

@fc- Man!!! You shouldn't be judging or blaming other people's color and culture! Stop that f...king hate! Let it go! Who the f..ck are we to be judging other people's culture? Take a look at our culture, we're from the third world, we still have a long way to make it to the first world. So stop criticizing in a negative way and let people from all over the world come to our country regardless of their color or culture... Our country needs to be explored, developed, and known worldwide. And tourism is one of the keys. But your comment is not helping at all...So behave yourself and stop the hate!👎.

[@olgasorto3041]

You misunderstood everything and in a way he’s right! The way El Salvador is now it’s a gem , but now with resorts here and there , that part of beauty will be gone .

[@rolorickin4986]

Malos comentarios. What a Pitty.

[@catalinpastiu6740]

And yet you are still living in a white country. And Salvador is unspoiled? Clearly you haven't paid attention.

[@SuperJohnfoster]

You are a nice guy but a big bastard sometimes when you don't give her a break. Her strength is way less than you

[@louisaandtobi]

What moment are you referring to? Louisa is more than capable of deciding when she needs a break…
