[@alexandrab36]

@natGeo If you need help with subtitles for the Superskilled series I'd be happy to help voluntarily. I find Eva so inspiring and I wish these videos would reach a broad audience. :)

[@maryannkeith4062]

NatGeo - please renew Eva for many, many more seasons. This is an incredible series!!!

[@tarynnicosie846]

Eva you rock and remind me of Tony Boudain !!🌍🌍🌍🌹

[@evazubeck]

This may just be my favourite episode of Superskilled… I love them all but there is something so special about this story, and about the Matis community who welcomed us so warmly 🥹 Would you be open to trying out their traditional rituals? Hope you enjoy this episode ✨

[@itemeka]

Eva ,you were awesome....I thinking learning some howl sounds from Vilk would have helped a bit in the sound communication 😍

[@Arnaud58]

Not only superskilled, but also super as a woman, which makes you... Yep!👴💪🤗

[@thomasprince4992]

since you will never have children , this was your child berth pain . lol

[@hafishafarooq1670]

HEY EVA I LOVE YOUR ENERGY AND MOST OF ALL I LOVE HOW YOU RESPECT OTHERS CULTURE❤✌🏾

[@Tatiacha]

This whole series is absolutely fabulous! Nat Geo made a great choice to support you in this adventure.

[@in-the-catbird-seat]

PLEASE keep sending Eva zu beck to all the places on earth that we didn’t know we needed to see and learn about! ❤

[@highfashionwins]

What impresses me the most is Eva's openness and respect for other cultures.

[@sarahcanderson1025]

I would watch just about anything Eva puts out. She is such a fantastic filmmaker and storyteller.

[@Mvjesty23]

I don’t want this series to ever end. It’s so refreshing. A female led travel series, where she’s immersing herself into these cultures, is truly inspiring to me. Please renew this series!!

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

Well done, Eva. Tumā was definitely curious about you and I found her to be so endearing. What wonderful life lessons you learned from the Matis. You now have a permanent reminder of the time you spent with the Matis . You're truly inspiring and I always knew you craved adventure, but you have shown how adaptable you are. Thank you Nat Geo and thank you Eva. I really enjoyed Superskilled and I look forward to seeing the next (and last😢) episode.

[@miky2122]

Thanks U Brat. Awesome

[@evazubeck]

Thank you so much Janice! Tumā was a beautiful soul and we shared so many fun moments together despite not sharing a (verbal) language!

[@orionn8412]

This brought tears to my eyes many times. Such an honor to see Eva here. From the way Tuma looks lovingly at her, to the care package on challenge day… what a blessing to see into these individuals’ lives and see connection transcending language. Thanks nat geo so much !!!!!

[@Phylonyous]

That indigenous tattoo applied by these amazing people is the biggest flex I can imagine!!! Mad props! Thank you for this episode!

[@tesselllation]

You mean well but that's not a flex or about flexing . It's about trust , sorry ❤

[@zoeychristianwitch]

Fifty years ago, someone getting a tattoo at all--let alone from an indigenous tribe--would have been considered brave indeed--not to mention outlandish. Eva is already covered with tattoos, however, so for her to refuse would have been rude. I commend her for acquiescing to her hosts' desire to mark her for life. It's a sign of her true integrity and of her abandonment of the false expectations our society used to impose on everyone, but most especially on women. Bravo, Eva!

[@_sitting_duck_]

I felt so much seeing the women supporting you in this, and seeing you submit to the process. You’re so awesome

[@alysiasmith2447]

Please renew this series. I love it!

[@SippinOnSumSweetTeaa]

Eva is a badass. Hearing her recount of everything she faced when filming this episode, I could never. What a cool human

[@evazubeck]

Aww thanks!

[@syarifahudiyakbs]

Eva, Josh, and the team, well done! Not only did I enjoy watching this, but I also learned a lot about the Matis tribe for the record I have never heard of this tribe before.

[@michelelapham1215]

Eva, you are amazing! You have taken NG up a notch! Your humor, your respect for other cultures and your courage is unmatched. Thank you for taking us on these adventures and for bringing NG back to being amazing like it used to be! ❤️

[@paxwallace8324]

She has that rare combination of magnetic yet guiless charisma and intrepid spirit. You must keep her

[@alainthomas7469]

Eva zu Beck and National Geographic are a perfect match.

[@elenamariaemmert954]

More of Eva zu Beck please!!! Absolutely love her!

[@Megan.Leigh.V]

Tuma looked at you with such pride when you did the betexte drops. You can tell she is really fond of you.

[@naynay3174]

Eva is so brave and inspiring!!! I’ve been following her ever since she went to Afghanistan alone. Huge fan!!!

[@divinacastellano860]

Because of Eva,here I am again..3rd episode,lez go!❤❤

[@NatGeo]

Superskilled is the gift that keeps on giving!

[@evazubeck]

Yay! There’s one more coming 😊

[@knight7866]

Eva is a treasure for NG… well done getting her onboard. Thank you NG.

[@michaelgarlickmovies]

I now have a whole new respect for you Eva. This is seriously good television. Outstanding.

[@Creativetruths]

This was touching, beautiful, uplifting, magical and I’m in love with these kind and generous people. I sure hope they stay safe. Bless you Eva and your team for sharing these wonderful adventures! ❤

[@berlinbatcave7141]

This was so amazing! Eva is perfect for that! She is so open minded and respectful and educating. I love watching her here on this channel.

[@carolequesnel9783]

This was so very interesting and mind blowing, NATGEO please continue your collaboration with Eva we are hungry for more !!!!!

[@stevejenkins9984]

Beautiful woman and a beautiful people I'm glad to see women like this who truly love the world around us!

[@HiItzBellz]

I did not want this episode to end! Witnessing your thirst of knowledge for things that were foreign to you, ignited a curiosity within me and I wanted to explore more! Thank you so much Eva for stepping out of your comfort zone and taking us with you!!

[@SisterSherryDoingStuff]

Agreed. I could have watched much longer.

[@johntabacco]

Lots of tension in this video. Loved it. Putting those drops in your eyes, getting whipped ... - wow! You are a brave and trusting soul - but the there it is. More unbelievable memories that will stick with me. Job well done Eva.

[@jimmyrants4342]

This was great, better than great. Please make more episodes. Eva ROCKS.

[@siramat76]

I've been following you always and watch all of your videos, now you following the remoted areas and living with ancient tribes, thanx Eva

[@stripesANDpoints]

Thank you for teaming up with Eva! It is such a joy to watch her interact with the people and contexts around her. I would love to see more of this series! ❤

[@wolflobo3624]

Another great story Eva. Your spirit of adventure is indomitable! It's true what you said at the end, sometimes you just have to shut up, look and listen to the world around you. You'd be amazed what you will discover. I can hardly wait for your next adventure!

[@EKAdventures51]

I was there in 1968, a wonderful town and the Greek brothers running the zoo, I floated up the Amazon , to islands and villages , I watched piranhas and crocodile hunting in the night on dug out canoes, giant Lily pads, and the Tarpon Zoo brothers, memories never to be forgotten, I lived in Bogota for 8 years, Colombia, a wonderful Country ,confronting your fears a belief of the primitive people inside ourselves, as spiritual person , nothing else matters, this is an amazing experience in the 21st century, me I'm old and have such great memories of Leticia and the Amazon river, thanks National Geographic, but the photographers were always with you, never alone, recalibrate your own compass, :), I learnt so much at the age of 17, still with me, the elder always knew where you were, :)

[@Peter.R.M.]

What an absolutely brilliant insight into a different culture and an environment that is totally alien to most of us. Eva, once again, did a fantastic job, not just witnessing, but experiencing through her eyes, literally, what its like to be a member of the Matis tribe. This series is just getting better and better!!!

[@evazubeck]

I really appreciate that ❤ one more episode coming next week 😊

[@nataliapedraza5456]

Eva Zu is the best for this job… if she can handle that pain body and eyes, i say she can handle just about anything…. Congratulations to NatGeo and miss Eva on this amazing adventure and thank u for taking us w u…. Greetings from McAllen Texas.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Kumä is such a sweetheart! The mom energy was so good. ❤

[@karin9373]

Just awesome. I am completely mesmerised by this series and how Eva opens up and trusts these new experiences. She is so strong and I don’t mean physically.

[@Harrosan]

I’ve been watching Eva on her KZbin channel for a couple of years now. This seems like a natural role for her to slip into. Super tough and up for any adventure 💪🏽👍🏼. No BS.

[@popescumariana4164]

I really enjoyed watching this Superskilled episode. ❤ I love Eva, she is wonderful!🎉

[@smileymyles]

You are really one of a kind Eva! Mabuhay from Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭

[@danielchance2217]

Well done Eva. You are perfect for this.

[@annettelemcke2527]

Your adventurist soul reminds this almost 66 year old woman of her younger self. Please continue your adventures so that I can live precociously through your eyes. Oh, and also. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!!

[@CricketGirrl]

I've been watching Eva's channel for a couple years now. It's been so much fun watching her leap headfirst into life. I hope to watch her continuing adventures on NatGeo!

[@jimscott5221]

Wow, I continue to be amazed at all the adventures Eva has accomplished on her own. What an amazing life...

[@am01am]

Well done Eva, the job in national geographic fits you perfectly.

[@rebeccar4270]

I cannot get enough of Superskilled. More please.

[@odetocycling]

Having watched so many of your videos, Ewa, I know you to be a spiritual being. I think that the Matis sensed this also. It does not surprise me that you passed their initiation ceremonies, because you are someone who knows that through suffering comes enlightenment. Thank you for sharing a little of the Matis' knowledge through this short documenatary,

[@madhukarmaddipatla5734]

Eva, no one connects with people, culture and place like you do - no one narrates so well - thank you for sharing this experience- excellent

[@MonikaMundell]

WOW Eva! ❤ This is my all time favourite show of yours. Loved everything: The Matis, the photography, challenges and how well you adapted, like a pro.

[@dsmithmcse]

Amazing video for sure. The Matis tribe are a wonderful people and Kudos to Eva for dignifying their culture and way of life without exploiting them. Well done and thank you for sharing your story and experiences with the Matis!

[@Oaxacatraum]

This is the most inspiring video I’ve seen in 2024 - wow, thank you so much Nat Geo & Eva for these insights, wonderful!

[@elainehowie4577]

What great episode, these people were so accepting and loving!! Eva you are doing a fantastic job!!

[@kurtjensen7264]

Definitely one of my favorite videos on KZbin. You rock. Eva 💃

[@PokeRemcards]

Again. Here for Ava. I'll watch a million episodes if she's in it.

[@carolineindacityphx]

The Matis initiation looked excruciating but necessary to be tough and to be resilient 💪 Eva is welcomed as honorary Matis ❤️ Episode 3 of Superskilled did not disappoint!

[@NatGeo]

Eva always puts in the work, no matter what! 🫶

[@evazubeck]

Yes! Sometimes the toughest experiences can be the most memorable.

[@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426]

​@NatGeo great choice having Eva!!!! She's an amazing human and perfect for NatGeo

[@olivaedebhue]

This was so far my favourite Superskilled! The Matis are inspiring and remind us of what it feels like to truly live in the wild. The relationship that was created by your encounter with them is...purely magical. You can tell that everyone enjoyed each other company, yours included. Wow, thanks again Eva for sharing a little about a culture that needs to cherished. That is a very inspiring episode. Long life to your adventures and the Matis legacy! Aye Aye!

[@caligrrrl262]

This is by far the best Superskilled episode you've done Eva! ¡Maravillosa!

[@bohoxplorer840]

Heart breaking their culture will one day be lost....Heaert Warming that you got to share them with all of us. Eva this series is just wonderful on so many levele... Wow I can see Grandpa smiling from the great beyond for your accomplishments Eva OXOXOOXOX

[@keyper555]

YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR!!! Thank you so much for being YOU and taking us with you as you explore this world we live in, if not for you we would not have had these opportunities to see these amazing parts of this world. Thank you so much EVA, YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR!!!

[@Venus_LakeandSky]

I see how the lady is so warm and welcoming … I could feel it, too❤

[@guillermogamalielcabrerame8516]

This show's amazing, and Eva is doing and excellent job, please keep sending her to this trips.

[@KyleWessels-c8z]

Eva, you're a born cultural diplomat, as well as cultural anthropologist. You're braver then most men. And tougher.

[@sushiinohio]

These episodes are so interesting. Wish they are at least an hour long.

[@toddcofer6491]

You are a brave girl, and also very fortunate to have found this opportunity to meet unique people. Do you get to see them again or is it just memories? It warms my heart to watch you're videos. I am impressed at how complete straingers take you in to there family, teach you, protect you, and love you.

[@SiSwitzer]

Full respect Eva, this looked like a super rough experience! Well done for not shying away!

[@sicariigroup4714]

Luv watching u unfold. Always knew you were the perfect NG storyteller! I appreciate the sacrifices. Nothing u can’t do now…

[@markstephenlevy]

This is about as far off the grid as you’ve ever been. Incredible Eva! And I loved the tattoo !

[@DanielaClarke]

Amo a la señora que siempre está apoyando a Eva ❤

[@francoponzio1124]

Eva I have been following you for years , you always manage to excite me, you are amazing

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Eva is so brave and strong wow 🤩 the perfect person to show us this beautiful culture!!!

[@Justme1981]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 You are so amazing Eva!!! 👏 Congratulations 🎊 👏 on this adventure you let someone whip you, put your eyes in excruciating pain 😢 and still manage to get us on the tip of the sofa!! Girl you deserve more episodes ASAP!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@harrydecker8731]

Who would think that there would be a traffic jam on the Amazon River! This is a terrific video that shows us how there are still a few courageous humans who live in harmony with nature with no need of modern tools. Those drone shots helped us to see a wider perspective of a land that most of us consider mysterious. It was so very sad to learn that many of the Matis died after making contact with modern humans, but I’m happy that some survived to carry on their legacy. I knew you were brave, Eva, but those painful ordeals you suffered in the jungle proves that you are truly brave! I think you should have the nickname Jane (Tarzan’s female companion).

[@SantaLaukmane]

Such an awesome episode! I would watch anything with Eva as the lead!!

[@stuart_oneill]

I'm so very proud of you and the experiences you have once again brought us. You have courage and grace under the most taxing of challenges. The Matis were gracious to you. Also wonderful to see...

[@paigebar1692]

I am LOVING this series with Eva!! this is like the dream partnership 😍

[@caterlinachung185]

Such a unique adventure and a meaningful message to all of us! Thanks for sharing...Eva you are soooo brave❤

[@russmartin4189]

Bravo Eva. You did it. That tattoo will be a conversation starter for the rest of your life.

[@Slykkpkins]

Dangerous, mystical, wonderous n insightful. Youre a brave woman taking on these new challenges. Thx for sharing. Stay safe.

[@carmelitaandres4121]

The bravest woman alive! ❤❤❤

[@Americanmapping44]

yesssss eva!!! that was some awesome badass woman explorer right there! You fully participated in everything to get the full experience and that took it much farther

[@Paul.Douglas]

What a good sport Eva! Awesome series!

[@jzobrien8329]

Excellent series! Keep the episodes coming. You one brave woman.

[@lori3056]

Incredible episode! Eva's bravery, respect for other cultures, and brilliant narration are one of a kind.

[@yotagerlie]

Ive seen this colony on other documentaries years ago really cool to see them still surviving

[@lesterscope]

It's good to learn about the different tribes on Earth. The Matis tribe is composed of friendly members, and I hope that they populate in numbers. Their culture should be preserved and they must be left free on their own in the Amazon rainforest. I applaud Eva for accepting every challenge. I hope to see more from you. I am now a fan! 😊

[@hopingowen]

Eva zu Beck you're the best filmmaker out there 💯😊

[@normarobbins6460]

Eva, you are so inspirational. Seeing how kind and giving people from all corners of the world can be gives me comfort that we can overcome malice and live in a world where everyone honors the importance loving and sharing to support peaceful living. Norma from Mendocino, CA USA Thank you National Geo

[@sagecoach]

You are really something. Thank you for a great show. I do respect the people you visited and their right to live as they were. Too bad so many died now and in the past from contact. It is why we found the place so empty.

[@kosipova01]

What a wonderful trip! Glad you experienced their welcome ❤

[@tudorwest4321]

excellent episode Eva really enjoyed,so good to see other communites as they live ans seem so happy together and welcome visitors,very well done to you and the crew

[@nicsxnin6786]

Great job 👏 navigating through the forest. Very interesting to see this tribe’s culture.

[@perlamedina1171]

Is the best series ever!!! I’m so thrilled about next seasons, please keep them coming 🎉❤🤩

[@travelingfoodie794]

Ummmmmmm.... Hire her immediately! She is bringing a whole new perspective and it's absolutely mesmerizing....❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@billym.7331]

Eva - I am so Proud of you, as you embrace new cultures, and topographies, on our immensely Beautiful Earth - Congratulations, dear.. Love to you and Vilk.. P.S. Your crew is talented, and I thank them, too..

[@martinfinn674]

Well done Eva, With eyes to see and ears to hear, you passed the first test of the Matis.

[@hotlineoperator]

Getting a tattoo from an Amazon native, it's wild.

[@mayrajohan]

What a great experience! I laughed so hard when you said “that’s enough” to the lashings. 🤣🤣
