As a recent fisherman and traveler myself i find this video very very inspiring... can't wait to maybe cross your road and stop to say "hi" !!

[@lewieandtherover]

That is really good to hear. Maybe someday we can drive an awesome off-road road. Somewhere in the Mountains. Maybe with a bit of snow. You can sit in front of your car. See what happens.

[@paulsnoeckx1767]

@@lewieandtheroverand be sure to have a winch to pull rocks, because on your last videos I saw some people arguing about it, does it work? Or not?

[@lewieandtherover]

I have no idea what we are doing. We are real amateurs who try to be outdoor experts. I only use the winch for our wash to hang in the sun. Maybe next video we will need it for real?

[@tomheller7792]

I just watched the stunning video you sent from the mountains of Turkey. The breathtaking landscapes and the serenity of nature left me in awe. But as I saw you explore these wonders with your new travel partners, a wave of mixed emotions washed over me. It's almost unbearable to watch at times, knowing that you are forging new memories with others while I am not there to share these moments with you. The bond you’ve developed with your new companions is clear, and it reminds me of the many incredible times we’ve had together. In a turn of fate, my wife and I have embarked on a rather unconventional journey ourselves. We've joined a swingers community for the bold and adventurous, where we explore relationships with other couples and exchange partners. This lifestyle has surprisingly led us to a newfound love for the outdoors. Our encounters often take place in nature, adding a thrilling and liberating dimension to our experiences. While our paths have diverged in unexpected ways, I find comfort in knowing that we are all discovering new facets of life and happiness. It’s heartening to see you thrive and find joy, just as we are doing in our own unique way. I look forward to the day our journeys might bring us back together, sharing the new perspectives and stories we’ve gathered along the way. Until then, continue to explore, love, and cherish every moment. Your happiness remains my happiness, and I am grateful to witness your journey, even from afar.

[@lewieandtherover]

Thank you! You should go some day, it is awesome!

[@TheReminderChannnel]

Finally!!! Love your videos! So excited to watch this 🕺 💪

[@lewieandtherover]

[@TheReminderChannnel]

@@lewieandtheroveryou guys definitely did not disappoint! I’ve watched literally hundreds of videos on Turkey, and I’ve never seen a video like this, absolutely loved it! Thank you so much! Just a little suggestion, it would really be helpful if you could put the names of the places you drive through and visited/camped at in the video (apologies if you have done this and I’ve missed it). And longer videos would definitely be welcomed bonus 😜

[@Check-it-out]

Complimenten over de beelden. Erg indrukwekkend en het ziet er super professioneel uit. Wij volgen een flink aantal overlanders maar tot nog toe springen jullie beelden er bovenuit. Een regisseur die precies weet wat hij of zij wil. Echt heel goed 👍🏼 👍🏼. We kijken uit naar de nieuwe aflevering !
