I had so much fun during today's Premiere. I can't wait to see you for the next one! The Premieres are every other Saturday, and up next is a temple visit in Nepal with baby monkeys the size of newborn kittens. Aw! 🐵

Surprised the didn’t have a Starbucks at base camp.

[@GoMandiMartin]

Gosh, right! 😀 But, they had even better: the fuzziest and most adorable yaks!

[@kirkstaley1170]

@@GoMandiMartin you're amazing and so fun to watch in action!

[@GoMandiMartin]

@@kirkstaley1170 Aw, stop making me blush, Kirk! That's so sweet; thank you, Kirk! You are so amazing, and I'm continually grateful to have you here!

Coffee is super important. Good idea going over it

[@GoMandiMartin]

Hi, Joe! We missed you! I was going to send a note to just you that said, "Joseph, you better wake up haha! It's Premiere time!" Next time ... 😎 Aw, and thank you! We can't be messing around when it comes to that giant tin of "Folgers in Your Cup"... (that's me singing! 🎶🎵🎶)

[@GoMandiMartin]

Joe, do you have any pets? 🐱🐶🐰🐹

[@JoeKyser]

@GoMandiMartin the premieres havr been falling on tumes when I have been sleeping. 11am is like 1am to me

[@JoeKyser]

@GoMandiMartin I do have a bunch of little fur babies. 3 little dogs I can hold all at once. Also, 5 cats and have another 4 outside that aren't mine but hang at my place. The one comes in and out sometimes. My kids are all in their 20s now. The animals took their spots hahs

[@GoMandiMartin]

@@JoeKyser Wow, Joe, that's so awesome! I'm laughing at the "3 little dogs [you] can hold all at once" haha. How adorable! There are so many stray and abandoned cats around my place; it's so sad, but one that was abandoned here a few years ago gives me regular snuggles, so yay for that! Aw! Do you have an equal number of pets and kids? 👼

[@kirkstaley1170]

I’ll look forward to it!

[@GoMandiMartin]

Good morning, Kirk! 😎 Yay, and I'll see you again soon!

[@loridavis7980]

Great video, Mandi! Very interesting. I'm sure many people wouldn't think about how to get coffee and snacks on the trail. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, looking forward to your next one!

[@GoMandiMartin]

Hi, Lori! What a sweet message; thank you so much! You are very welcome, and I'm so happy that you are here. I look forward to seeing you at the next video(s) 😃

[@GoMandiMartin]

I'm looking forward to seeing you in just a few hours for the live chat Premiere of this video 🎉

[@mdgriffith7]

Happy Saturday, Mandi !! This EBC series has been fantastic for a key reason and gap you found in the other EBC videos that are out there. So many are filled with amazing transitions and great shots showing the trek itself, but where they lack is what you are providing here - the little details that are often not seen and help those are planning a trip to get a good idea of what to expect in terms of accommodations and food and drink and snacks and all other things. This actually has value. The fact you captured this and are sharing is great. BTW - I did catch the subtle “you really should check out my Solo Trip to Pennsylvania (Lebanon & Reading) video” advertisement right smack in the middle of this one. So, the question is, how long will it take me to watch that one start to end? The obvious answer is 7 minutes and 59 seconds. But you know what I mean…. I actually have to do it. Have a great week! Till we chat again..

[@GoMandiMartin]

Aw, Mark! Thank you so much! I hope to see you on Sat, Nov. 4th for the next video🥳

[@mdgriffith7]

@@GoMandiMartin too funny. Lucky you. You got to read it twice! I am a mess.

[@GoMandiMartin]

@@mdgriffith7 Um hm hahhaa, I'll take all the comments. Even duplicates hehe ✨✨

[@davidcoleman757]

Pakora, momos, dhal, cinnamon coffee and lemon tea - I was in hog's heaven in Nepal. Being a coffee addict the cold brew demo sounds great. My mother-in-law is Vietnamese and makes the best cafe sua-da. Anyway, notification on for this one. Greetings from the UK.

[@GoMandiMartin]

David! A huge hello, and yay! Um, I'm so jealous of your in-law access to deliciousness haha. I hope that you've been doing great. I can't wait to see you at this Premiere. Huge hugs to you and your family until then 🪅

[@beatinertia]

Thank you very much for your video. Can you let me know what fruit is generally available? Many thanks in advance ❤

[@GoMandiMartin]

Hi, Denise! It's so nice to hear from you; thank you for your message. That's such a great question, and that was one of my concerns, too. I am a huge fresh fruit fan! Unfortunately, there isn't much fruit of any kind on the trail; the food offerings aren't very healthy. I remember seeing a few oranges for sale about halfway through my journey, but I personally buy/eat one because I imagine they would be really old. Here's the scene with the only fruit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2HOpGp_rpuFqM0si=1_uxI0qc8uVQQYnW&t=2780 In Kathmandu and similar cities, there is fruit galore! You'll get charged the "traveler" price, but it was still really cheap for all your hands can carry ☀🍉 They have bananas, pomegranates, watermelon, pineapple, and much of the fruit you would see elsewhere - and more. I hope this helps, and I hope to see you again here very soon 😀 Mandi

[@andrzejs3489]

I'm sorry I couldn't attend the last Premiere. I, like you, work at a university and also have weekend students. Last Saturday I had classes with my students, so I couldn't attend the Premiere 🙁

[@GoMandiMartin]

Hi, Andrez! That is so understandable, but we'll always miss you when you aren't there. The Premieres are never the same without you! 🌞

[@kirkstaley1170]

Where to next?

[@GoMandiMartin]

Hi, Kirky Kirk! I hope you like your new nick name haha. I made it up myself 😊Hm, well, next up in video land is a trip to see sassy monkeys in Kathmandu, then elephants and more elephants in India... but that last one is our little secret 🤫

[@Doglover12364]

Ur lips so glowsy so stylish lip

[@GoMandiMartin]

Hi! Thank you for the very nice compliment, and thank you so much for watching. I hope that you have a very wonderful day 😃
