I have to say, I think I'm one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest. I care for my elderly mother who is sadly in decline and have fought cancer and it's nasty side effects for the last three years. Theres very few positive or joyful moments in my life right now but I have to have a huge smile on my face the whole time I'm watching your videos. You and your amazing friend Vilk warms my heart to see you two live the dream. What a perfect match! The ways you two capture your followers hearts are endless. Personally, I live the dream through you two if that makes any sense. Roll on baby girl and I'd still love to see you call the United States your forever home!

Eva, please check with the locals on current events. There are areas in Mexico that are not safe at the moment due to cartel activity after the arrest of El Chapo's son. This is not rumor, but a real threat. Almost 30 have been killed. Make sure your next destination isn't taking you through a dangerous area. Please stay safe!

True you wanna stay on main roads as much as possible, like hiways. I’m planning a trip to Nicaragua with my Toyota, but all main roads. Be safe, be smart, skip the scenic vids in Mexico. Honduras is safer place, Nicaragua is very safe. Usually countries NOT friendly to US = safest. Just sayin.

Eva, Vilk. You are both so bad ass. Such a heartwarming video as well. I love everything about your videos. For me, it honestly makes me want to change my life’s path to a more cherished life going forward. Most just go through life, following the other until death, never experiencing the true meaning of living. “Breathing isn’t living”, and I get chills knowing what I really could be doing, instead of making the wealthy, even more greedy.

Vilk used a whole new set of muscles in his tail when swimming. Don't be surprised if he is sore and his tail droops for a bit. It's called "rudder tail", you can imagine why by watching your underwater vid of him. We had a Labrador that would do this every year in the spring when it became warm enough to go to the ocean. She loved the water and swimming so much. She would swim hard and used her tail for guidance in the water. She was always sore for a few days.

Surprisingly, I find BaJa such a beautiful place. It’s like where the desert meets the ocean. And, we’ve followed you to the furthest cold regions to the lower warm regions. Although, I’ll say here in the states, you chose so many backroads, that I don’t feel you saw the “states.” So, even though I live here, it was still new to me, all those rugged backroads & throwbacks to the old west. So, always interesting, never a dull moment.

After stumbling across you on Emon and Beck, I followed you across to see where you went in Baja. To have you pop up on Playa Requeson, one of my favorite places to camp in the winter on my way south to San Jose del Cabo, you then proceeded to go on to what I think was Agua Verde. I may be wrong about that as I never made it there. I had to quit my yearly visits due to health in the early 2000’s, and I miss it terribly, but I was there in the good times before it got so crazy. Thanks for the memories. I saw it from the late 70’s through 2003, when it was still good.
