Overlanding to HOSTING Overlanders in Mexico (EP 51)

[@goku.lc80]

I had a smile on my face the whole time watching this video. Amazing how those interactions with people you just met seemed so enjoyable and real. The kids helping Mathilde were adorable

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes super nice days having those people around. Makes you travel without moving! Loved it

[@garyaaron8425]

Wow, I could not have said it better! One of my favorites. Safe travels and good PT time for Nick!

[@Badfinger7761]

Sometimes an injury like Nick’s turns out to be a good thing. By this I mean being able to have restful days, catching up with vehicle maintenance, meeting overlander friends new and old, and for Mathilde - computer work and editing too. Also lovely to see Tom and Jerry again!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Yes it was good in that sense! We ll be back full of energy and ready as ever. Hahaha yes Tom is the best , that break allowed us to see him again

[@crystalwelch4970]

This video is another example of how your travels isn’t about the destination, but the connections and experiences you make along the way ❤ This is why you guys are still the ONLY channel I have and will likely ever subscribe to. Thank you for spreading joy, kindness, and love with your videos.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Thanks Crystal! You re right! So many ways to travel even without moving. That was a good lesson for us

[@jackierichards33]

So good that you were able to play hosts and give those shower/laundry/meals/place to work on your vehicles to other travelers, giving back, passing on the generosity others have shown you 😊

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

yes that was a lot of fun and really the best way to make the most out of this time

[@llabad27]

Am so glad Nick is recovering pretty fast and great!We are all patiently on standby waiting for new overlanding adventures on the road!You two never fail to awe us !Stay safe always and God Bless you both and the channel!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

That is very nice of you ! From next week adventures are back on the road and the world tour continues the following one! Really looking forward

[@franciscosaldana2879]

As you say Mathilde, when you have a community of people who share something you can have many activities in common, share information and have a good time, you and Nick had a good idea to be hosts for other overlanders.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Honestly it was a real help in keeping our spirits high and happy mood. Made us travel in another way! Thanks for watching

[@rmetzger7368]

Glad to have you both back on the road! Also glad Nick wasn't abducted by aliens. Hopefully you continue to cross paths with Tom & Jerry. You'll probably be glad to get those 5 days of therapy over with. And congrats on certifying Mathilde!!! Take care and drive safe. Watching over your shoulder from Port Angeles, WA., USA!!!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Yes ! We show you the return on the road next Saturday already! What a relief to be able to travel again

[@oscargarcia-vz6jg]

Great to see the Overlander Reunion, Stay safe!!!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Thank you Oscar !

[@grahames9228]

The overlander bond, classic examples right here.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Yep! Only that matters!

[@jrlong3490]

Great idea Mathilde! Get to meet so many more cool fellow travelers. Great to see Tom again.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Definitely! We loved it! And seeing Tom again was a highlight.

[@trippingtheroad_liaandkevin]

LOVED this episode, so wholesome, non stop happy vibes & good energy! 😍

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Yay! Thank you Lia and Kev!

[@msan2653]

When I was a bit younger I use to run a lot and had physio for a knee problem. I remember when watching the Grand National horse race in England and during a look back at previous winners they showed a documentary on Redrum. He had gone lame and was struggling to get fit. The trainer use to trot him in the sea. He claimed the Salt water was beneficial for the horses legs. I spoke to my physio about this, who said it would help and to buy sea salt and soak in the bath. It did make it feel better and helped healing. Nick you have a great opportunity to soak your leg in the sea the warm salty water should help. obviously clear it with your physio, I wouldn't want you to make things worse. Good luck in getting back on the road again.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

So interesting ! Never knew that. We re at the ocean so we re going to get him in that water as much as possible ahhaha

[@Donneczka1]

Sooooooo happy to see Tom again! Woohoo!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Us too! Hahahah such a great gift from being stuck! We have realigned our travelled schedule (maybe we meet again in the future which was not a given )

[@ericpillou9389]

C’est cool de retrouver Tom pendant cette pause forcée 👍

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Oui c était vraiment un mal pour un bien !

[@mrsteel10213]

This was very energizing and full of warmth

Awesome video as always Nick Matilda. Can't wait to see the rest of your journey around the world. Get some good rest and then Keep the wheels rolling.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Thanks so much! Will do ! Same same from next week videos will be back on the road and from the following we are fully returning to the world tour which is something we miss immensely. Thank you for the support Christopher

[@christopherharris6005]

@@NextMeridianExpedition Y'all welcome.

[@themissdior1235]

Loved this Matilde :) So nice to see fellow travellers together in friendship I find your channel very uplifting :)

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

So glad! It makes us very happy! All the best!

[@markmitchell457]

I enjoyed your video so much. In the 1970s there was no social media. We left notes on a cork board at the local natural food co-op. People passing through Ashland, Oregon would find our invitation and just show up. There were no mobile phones, no phone at all for miles. Our visitors stayed a bit longer. Several months was not uncommon. I married one visitor. Things were a bit different for hippies on communes. If people fit, they stayed for a while. Stay safe. Have fun.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Amazing you were doing that! I think we would have tried like that if social media was not around!

[@libbyblackmon885]

Really enjoyed this video! There’s just something about meeting people with the same interests as you. So good to see Nick back on both feet. I love the music you put in your videos. Thanks guys for sharing with us.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for this kind comment Libby!

[@doroteamunoz978]

Guys good to see you back and happy together just like the other subscribers, every time we watch you both it make us happier and always looking forward to see you’re vlog it’s like nothing is impossible and hard to achieve in life, anyway stay safe and healthy, focus all the time and take care.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Thank you Dorotea! It makes u s very happy to read that cause we love those moment shared with others so it s great to read it s contagious !

[@1sheinz]

Hi guy's , so cool to see a couple from Very near where I live. Just a bit south of Vernon. Drive safe all, love to watch the tip, has been my dream for half a decade . CHEERS AND SAFE TAVELS Steve h.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

You would not imagine we keep meeting people from that exact area on the road … what a happening with Vernon people hahaha

[@kenmason9354]

Good luck with your full recovery, great video with all the other overlanders..

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Thank you!

[@Joni.b.]

I love that besides the socializing, you all were able to trade real skills! And the guys looking so well-groomed at the end. 😊

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

We agree! That came out very handy for us and I think the others also benefitted from help from us so it was very balanced that way

[@lupitaolson7837]

You guys are so hospitable and nice to your guests. Wow, what a surprise to see Tom. A friend for life, definitely. He helped you guys so much when you were in need. Enjoy life 🥰🥰

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Absolutely!! Makes us so happy that everyone considers Tom as a character of this story hahaha it s a full protagonist now

[@Donneczka1]

Love how you search out and create community!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Always! And it s been very very rewarding so far!

[@leipeasu1796]

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

[@aislingbooks]

You win the most upbeat couple of the year award by far. And a travelling Millennial communally on the road. What a concept! I'm just all smiles.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Only smiles allowed 😀😀😀😀

[@michaelharris1455]

Very cool, guys, very cool.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

😍😍😍

[@kevinsimmonds7082]

Anther really good video, looking forward to the weekends for the next one, all the best guys!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Thanks 👍 hope you are well Kevin

[@jackmeyers40]

I'm digging your "Carribean vibe" music today. Makes me wish I wasn't here at work today. Well I guess every day I wish I wasn't here. LOL and I enjoyed the video and that Land cruiser is dope.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Rock on! When working I would always put in music from Cabo verde or Trinidad or Cuba to get a bit of sun in cloudy Brussels !

[@davidw5629]

That turned out to be a good idea. When you first said what you were going to do I wasn't so sure.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Hahaha I get that. But from the people we met along the road we knew we always meet kind and interesting people so we were not too stressed. Turned out well it s true.

[@angelas4681]

The empty parking spot looked like a crime scene. LOL!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Totally … why abandon the flip flops ..

[@davidbaker3270]

what a crackin good idea and it worked well for all of you nice to see t&j again looks well

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Yes the best part!

[@stog9821]

If you’re going to change oil in a parking lot you might consider replacing the oil pan plug with a petcock and getting a flexible tube to control the flow when you open the petcock. I think they actually sell them as a kit. Much less mess.

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

"FUMOTO VALVE"- they're great!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Hmmmmm okay we ll check those out! Thanks for the recommendation

[@roblynch9219]

thats awesome - Great vibe!

Glad you like it!

Hi Guys, Tim in Tok Alaska, saludos y felicidades to all Overlanders. We've been meeting and hosting visitors, mostly Vintage Volkswagens, for years, and we've met a bunch of Argentinians who made it to Alaska, and they are all great people! An awesome destination for many reasons! Nick- do your PT !🦵🦵🦵🦵

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

That is awesome! I remember you mentioning them. We really loved having people over and hope when we settle somewhere we will continue and do like you!

[@MarcelEling]

Nics to bring them together

Totally living the life 😊🤩 I really enjoyed this episode lots of lovely people

Tom is a great guy. Looks like Eva is taking a couple months off from KZbin.

Hi, what is that song in the video from about 14:15min to 15:30min, I am listening over and over...😄 Also for me this video just puts a smile on my face after a challenging day, you guys are just so chilled!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

hey! it is called Ya Nasa Pasara and it is from Cumbia Connection :)

[@davidwerner3022]

You guys could be seeing Phish play at Riviera Maya. Big four day shows right in that area-Thursday through Sunday……just sayin😅

[@consuelayip3470]

Does Tom and Jerry have a channel or IG?

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

No they don’t

[@MarcelEling]

Why Argentina?

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

You mean as a destination? Because it is the end of the panamerican so I guess many travellers use it as a reference to indicate where they are going

[@MarcelEling]

@@NextMeridianExpedition o, is that why. Just end of the road. I thought maybe a place you want to live and settle.

[@andreasweber7828]

People claim to visit this area to see the donkey shows ? I was wondering if that’s a real thing 😳

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

No idea ! We did not hear of it
