Howdy, y'all! Wait... is that how you say it? 😂 My first days travelling through the USA have both satisfied the fantasy of the American road-trip, and opened my eyes to some completely new lessons. From Laredo, to Amarillo, this is my experience of Texas!

The thing about Texas is that it’s so big, with so many people - 29 million - that you’d have to spend a month there to truly experience Texas. I’ve been all over the country, one thing that’s certain about Texas is that they have the loveliest people, regardless of ethnic background. Texans are the epitome of southern hospitality

I've found that the month time period is applicable for other countries also... Of course, Texas is larger than many countries...

its as large (and in many ways larger) as a country in Europe - that's what many of us Europeans don't realize. Basically USA is humengous - and that's also what most people don't realize.

[@j.r.mocksly5996]

​ @burjalmadre is right, southeast Asia is a different beast. I lived in China for a time, and boy they are RACIST! You won't experience that in the western hemisphere, not even close. That being said, I loved my time in China and learned a fair amount of Mandarin, but I know exactly how it is over there and how incredibly dumb we are in the west about this topic. Everybody is tribal in absence of an overriding belief system - such as Christianity - which is severely suppressed in China. As a result they are overwhelmingly tribal towards specifically Han Chinese. You will never be one of them, only ever a foreigner. But I met a lot of good people over there that I made friends with, and talk to them to this day - Chinese are a very curious and social people, I love them despite their flaws. But I don't pretend they don't have all those blemishes like westerners love to do

Love your videos. I visited Poland for the first time in 1994, my first of ten or so visits. Felt super exotic to me, just as you describe your first days in the United States. I loved so much about Poland. The people were so friendly, warm and generous. They thought me exotic because they heard about America but had never met an American - most of them. People invited me into their homes and their lives. Behaved as if I were the king of England. Wanted to discuss politics and know everything possible about the U.S. I loved the food. Pirogi, kapitka, bigos. Oh, how I loved bigos. In those days there were still milk bars. They were amazing. Sadly, within a few years they were all but gone, replaced by KFCs and Burger Kings. I’ll never understand why Poland was so eager to embrace the worst of American culture. My first trip to Krakow was a kind of heaven. In those days, the buildings were still decrepit and they had stuff like toilet paper (brown and rough like sand paper) in the shop windows. The people hadn’t yet wrapped their minds around basic capitalistic concepts, which led to a lot of interesting economic choices. But it was all so real and so beautiful and so charming. I liked Krakow way better then than, later on, after it had all been fixed up and the shops filled with tourist goods. I met many wonderful people who became good friends. I also met a woman. We fell in love, dated long distance and eventually married. We were young and still had much to learn. We had love to burn but burn it we did. Eventually she left me but she was brilliant. In Poland, she was on a track to be someone important. She gave up that track to move to the U.S. but she began again, graduated college with a 4.0 GPA, attended medical school and is not just a cardiologist today but the head of a cardiology department. More impressive than that, the nurses adore her. For me, that’s the greatest honor a physician could have - to be loved by those who are in the trenches caring for people day and night. I met so many other folks whom I’ll never forget. People so kind, so generous, so full of idealism. I remember one family, poor as church mice but their home (with ten children) was overflowing with love. My grandmother came from a small town in Poland. She told me all these stories from her childhood. That’s what motivated my odyssey. To see those places. That’s the same town where I met my ex-wife. I don’t mean to imply that Polish society is perfect or ideal. There were many problems, just like anywhere else. What one loves is more about the person making the evaluation than the place itself. So I guess, in speaking about Poland, I’m speaking about myself. I love the Polish nation, its people and its culture. I love the huge Slavic soul that embraces life with idealism and passion.

I grew up and live in Kansas. when I meet people of other states who now abide here, I always ask why? and I end up complaining about the plains and how flat this state is - but then they always seem to correct me and tell me that they're glad to see plains. they say it's absolutely beautiful the way you can see the entire horizon, and they always say "the sunsets here are incredible, you should learn to love your state more!" it's pretty refreshing.

I just randomly stumbled across one of your videos, followed 4 more links, ended up here, and have officially fallen in love with them. The Fruit Loops scene in the Walmart reminded me of my first time in Poland in 1992, finally eating pierogi in the homeland of my stepmother, who cooked them for us every holiday out here in the American southwest when I was a kid. Your wide eyed enthusiasm and razor-sharp intellect also reinforced a feeling in me that I need to get out there and see more of this land I've lived in all my life, share it with my dog, and try to remember that regardless of all the divisions and hostilities that exist between us as Americans, we're all just people floating on this rock for a brief moment in time. And if we could just recall that every now and again, our world could be a much more exciting place to live. I wish I could see it all with brand new eyes, and until I learn how to do that, I will be following you right here for more inspiration. Thank you for showing me that, and I wish you many more safe travels and returns!!! *LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED* 🤩 PS: If you ever need a place to park Odyssey in Austin, we got you covered, and there are plenty of treats for Vilk!

@@davidanalyst671 extremely friendly, when I tell people here what happened there with people I just met they think I'm talking BS. On our second day we went to open a bank account in Chase and the bank manager that just met me saw that we were walking in the heat. We still didn't have a car and he told us to wait 15min and he actually drove us to a car rental place. He gave us a number of a car salesman who actually phoned us to ask what car we where looking for, after I told him my small budget he did not have any cars to offer me but the next day he came to pick us up at our hotel and drive us to a couple of places to look for cars. We didn't but anything and he drove us around for two hours showing us the city. That was just in the first 3 days. Things like that happened to us all the time.

[@perodenero]

Another story: I phoned a job advert I saw online and only after talking to the lady I realized the advert was two years old. The woman was so friendly, asked me where I was from and what we where doing in Dallas, she told me to send my CV anyway and the next day phoned me again and after interviewing me gave me a job. I only had positive experiences, the only time I got stopped by police for speeding I told them I was studying part time and I was late for class as I got held up at the IRS. He let me go without a fine even though I went 15mph over the limit. I have nothing but love for Dallas!

I like to trot out that saying, too. Europeans who try to visit the US and say that they will go to New York for a few days then drive to Miami for a few days and then drive to Las Vegas... amuse me. And Oh My God- that family of Texans at the campground were living stereotypes! That was also amusing. Bear in mind that if you stay at "RV parks" you will almost solely meet older people. There are younger people out camping but they tend to "boondock" more, which means staying for free on public land, commando camping without being seen, etc. The pickups aren't just a stereotype, the Ford F-150 has been the best selling automobile in the US for decades. It's often a second car, used for utility when needed, though lots of people do use them for work. But out running errands? No, you won't see "cargo".

Inside the tristate area, pizza from a mom & pop store will also be on a level well above most of the continental united states. And swinging by Vermont, of course you gotta go for the maple syrup.

Gooey Looie's is a local spot, it's decent not the best (in my opinion) but definitely worth mentioning. as for more touristy locations go, I think either Jims or Steve's prince of steaks are your best bet. A good rule of thumb when ordering a good cheese steak though is that the place uses real kraft wiz, ribeye steak and good Italian bread (preferably from Sarcone's bakery) speaking of which Angelos a really great Pizzaria also makes good cheese steaks with Sarcone bread.

You're not stupid Eva, you're courageous! When I was younger I travelled to Pueblo, Colorado. I'd met a fellow weight lifter at my University's gym. We started "spotting" for each other. He asked if I might want to work for room & board at his family's place, the East Side Tavern, in Pueblo for the summer. I actually went there for 2 summers. The 1st trip - I was too young to tend bar, so I cooked Mexican food in the small kitchen in the back of the bar. I still make fairly authentic TexMex now for my wife & daughter. During the 2nd excursion, I was legally old enough to serve adults & I met so many great Puebleunos - so much fun! When I left to return home, I only had $40 in my wallet, so I "thumbed" my way across the south to visit my cousins in Canton, Georgia. Many would've called me stupid, for not being paid enough & risking my life along the interstates. I met the best people who often let me drive, to give them a break. I had fashioned a steel kitchen knife for which I'd made a wooden handle & kept it in my boot, under my trouser leg. I was never in any danger, everyone that picked me up was kind & friendly. Was I stupid or just too impoverished to travel that distance & unafraid to try?

Thank you for just taking Texas in and enjoying it for what it is. It's wonderful to see your wide-eyed, childlike wonder. You are awesome

Love this SOOOO MUCH!!!! Americans don't appreciate what we have until we are reminded by amazing people like you about how not to take it for granted. Thank you, grrrl.

I'm proud of you for looking past the fear that people project onto others, and choosing adventure - being brave and traveling into the unknown to see for yourself. Because it truly is eye opening to experience different cultures, and different ways of living. And people are mostly good. Keep rocking on, Eva. You're awesome.

Loving your videos. Thank you for showing my country in such a beautiful way ❤ also you are adorable. I know I’m watching this and you are back to your home but be careful out there.

I was born and raised in Texas, been away for 35 years, living in Europe, Asia and other parts of the USA. I recently bought a house in the same city I was born in and feel like I'm truly home again. Love my Texas!

Where in Asia? I am like you a Texan who spent many years in Japan and several other nations. How I wish more people here had significant experiences in other cultures and languages. You learn so much even about your own country.
