[@chrisandsara]

[@wfp67k2006]

Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@chrisandsara]

You are so welcome!

[@ririmr4978]

No A/C in your vehicle? I've been there and would always keep a igloo cooler with ice, wet wash cloths in zip lock bags, a water filled spray bottle and bottles of water in that cooler, it helps! Stay cool y'all

No way ever I could handle stressful traffic combined with awe altering heat! Lol

Great video guys!

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks for watching!

[@emily_a_mills]

I love following your journey and hearing your stories. Thanks for sharing about your work, feelings, and dreams! Happy to be in the "I don't hate my work and life" camp now. :)

[@chrisandsara]

The "I don't hate my world and life" camp is the place to be!

[@sherriclearlake1611]

Great video!

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks! Hope you’re doing well Sherri!

Ok, phew, finally got a chance to catch up on all your overlanding videos in MX! Whilst I have zero desire myself to ever go there- way too hot and humid (as seen by climbing all the steps in an earlier video- I still love to watch your videos for so many reasons: 1. You’re just nice/good people / similar values overall with care for people. 2. You play great music - always love it 3. You always talk about great good and especially coffee and desserts, which so hooks me 4. You’re real And I’ve noticed your video quality keeps getting more and more well refined! Your drone stuff is so “whoa” and those special shots - like the intro a few vids back where the season and episode is intersected by a bus driving by then a couple on a scooter etc are really clever and fun to see!👌👏 I’m not surprised one bit that Travelcon would want you to come and speak! So well deserved! (I’m glad I/we knew you before you become any more big shot world speakers! Heh.)WTG and in Portland, OR, no less! Looking forward to seeing the one in Seattle too! Glad you’ve been able to get to some cooler places before heading back to hotter climates.. like even TB as of late! Btw, have you ever filmed in Mains or been there? How about anywhere else in the Atlantic Northeast, as it were?

[@chrisandsara]

Hi there! I hate that I'm so late to replying to your comment, my apologies! Your kind words are so appreciated though. ❤ We put a lot of effort into improving our quality and style so it's nice to hear that it doesn't go unnoticed! :) Unfortunately we have very few videos on the northeast. Maine is one of our favorite places but every time we've been there we get so busy enjoying the state that we don't end up making content there. We need to visit again soon though!

[@thejohnlin]

I was in LA and hoping to see a Vlog about it at one point. I even asked why didn’t you consider southern California when looking for a home. I moved my families up to Seattle a couple years ago, and now knowing a Vlog is coming. I am so excited about that. Thanks for sharing. Some of the beautiful footage have affirmed my beliefs of the values of travel: creat lifelong memories. Cheers.

[@WonderBingTravel]

Loved meeting and chatting with you @Travelcon! See you on the road 😊

[@chrisandsara]

So good meeting you, too!! I hope we cross paths again soon!

[@roamingwithhammo]

I loved this video, guys, and I'm so glad I got to meet you at TravelCon. I loved your talk about making the leap to digital nomad life. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@chrisandsara]

We so enjoyed getting to hangout at TravelCon, too!! I hope our paths cross again one day soon. :)

[@roamingwithhammo]

@@chrisandsara I so hope we do too 😃

[@brunnie]

While others may hang around because of Kramer, I just enjoy you. A bonus is seeing places that I will never see. 🙂

[@chrisandsara]

We all know Kramer's why you're REALLY here.... 🙃

[@wheresjanice]

You guys are amazing! Love that you shared about the power of storytelling at TravelCon 🙆🏻‍♀️

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks so much, Janice! It was so great to meet you at TravelCon. I really hope our paths cross again one day soon! TravelCon 2025 maybe? :)

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Can’t wait for your Seatlle vlog! Seattle has been on our list (basically the entire PNW) for such a long time!

[@chrisandsara]

You’re going to love being in the PNW! We just released our Seattle video last night!

[@gabyallrath553]

How do you fly with Kramer? Is he small enough to fly in cabin? Is he a service dog? Would love to learn more.

[@chrisandsara]

He is small enough to fly in cabin. :)

[@yordanpopov]

Watching you from Seattle.

[@chrisandsara]

Hi in Seattle! (Our favorite city in the USA!)

[@sijilo]

😊

[@chrisandsara]

👋

[@WeDidntExpectthis]

Hi, I am wondering if Kramer is an 'emotional support pet' and if so, can he travel in the cabin without being caged? Is there an 'online' agency you used to get him certified for this that you recommend? Thanks!

[@conchscooter]

Take Trasportes Maritimo California ferry. Cheaper and you ride in your vehicle with your pet. It’s used mostly by truckers so the facilities aren’t glamorous. TMC offers hot showers meals and a lounge but no cabin. We rode the overnight ferry from Topolobampo to La Paz a little shorter than the 18 hour grind from Mazatlan .

[@WeDidntExpectthis]

@@conchscooter Thanks so much for your answer. But we are doing research for a possible bigger trip with our dogs (yes plural - lol!). In case we want to go to South America, wanted to look into air-travel with a dog in that neck of the woods.

[@chrisandsara]

Hey y'all, no, Kramer is not an ESA and from my understanding ESAs are now held to the same standards as pets (at least in the USA and most of the rest of the world now). There are services that handle the coordination of transporting pets overseas so if you're looking at transporting multiple I'd highly recommend using a professional service since it is a lot to handle logistically. I wrote a whole blog post about traveling internationally with dogs that answers a lot of questions. You can find it here: www.chrisandsara.com/post/how-to-travel-internationally-with-a-dog Hope this helps!! :)

[@WeDidntExpectthis]

@@chrisandsara I read your article about traveling with pets and it was brilliant! It's the best article I've read on the subject. We used a pet travel company to get our 3 dogs over here from Australia cause they had to go under the plane in the cargo section from Brisbane to LA with an overnight stop in Auckland (where they joined our plane the next day). It was expensive and there was no other way to get them out of Australia except in the cargo section. It went well though. United airlines allowed us to bring all 3 dogs on the plane in the cabin from LA to Houston to Puerta Vallarta if we bought an extra first class ticket and then changed their minds when we arrived in LA which was a nightmare; but our travel agent argued with them for over 2 hours and they had to cave in. I thought an ESA pet was allowed to be taken out of the dog carrier on the plane, which was why I was interested. I might ask you how it goes with Kramer entering Argentina when you get down there. Will be interested in how stringent they are there. Thanks!!

[@julietschida9114]

Hi guys, Can you share the name for the RV storage place please. Good to know just in case 🤞

[@chrisandsara]

Hi Juliet! It's on iOverlander and is in the town of Teotihuacan. I don't know that it has a specific name, but if you look on iOverlander northeast of Mexico City you'll be able to find it. :)

[@KierstenandTylertravel]

Hearing you guys speak about being digital nomads was very inspiring for us. We are new to our travel journey and trying very hard to make it our full time gig. Thank you for that! I didn’t even know I needed to hear that today 😊

[@dmjames1972]

I agree. Best part of the video. I love that they want to help others, esp being so relatable!💪

[@chrisandsara]

Hi y'all! I'm so sorry I'm late to answering this. Keep going with the digital nomad lifestyle. It definitely has highs and lows but it's so worth it (as I'm sure you already know). I hope our paths cross irl one day!

[@jeffreyb5333]

I am curious as to your thoughts on safety, specifically in Mexico, since those 3 surfers were killed at Baja. My thoughts, there are bad people, bad cities everywhere, but are Americans a target in Mexico? By the way, I really enjoyed the John Mark McMillan song, looked it up!

[@chrisandsara]

❤ We love Joh Mark McMillan's music! We really feel very safe in Mexico. You think like us, there are good and bad people everywhere. As far as Americans being targets in Mexico, generally people don't want to mess with Americans when it comes to major crimes because it attracts a lot of attention. American tourists are definitely targets for petty crime all over the world because people thing we all have money (HA!), but other than that we don't feel unsafe. Our understanding of the Baja incident is that there were a lot of bad circumstances working against those surfers. Such a sad situation.
