[@stevedunagan8442]

I came across one of your videos yesterday. I was so moved watching you offer the woman with the dog a breakfast sandwich and coffee. I am currently homeless staying in a rundown hotel with my wife and son. You give me hope. I wish the world was full of more people like yourself that inspire others to be better. So from the bottom of my heart thank you and keep going you've accomplished so much.

[@ChillinwithChich]

I wish you well, better days and I believe in you. We all have to go through our struggles to appreciate the little things. I’m glad you still have your family. Stay strong 😊

[@ValoryRansom]

I wish you well . Things will get better . Even when things seem hopeless. My husband and I were in the same situation. We both lost our moms 6 months apart. First his mom passed and my beautiful mom passed . It has been such a nightmare. We lost everything and our families fell apart and we just had each other . We lost everything we owned and went from hotel to hotel until we went homeless for a month and we are now housed 4 years later but even though we have a home now . We never forgot and I want to encourage you to never give up because your blessing will come .

[@roseannegonzales3009]

I am also about to be homeless myself with my 2 kids . My lease is up in the ending of April and I have nowhere to go . I know things will get better for you and me . God is always with us .

[@Mikemonoa-hz2rz]

When Lars went from flight mode to skydiving into to river was hilarious 😂 lol

[@commentater4448]

I love Lars! Our black cat got out and we believe someone poisoned her! 😭😭😭 Because of superstition and cruel use of animals, black cats are the least adoptable. Adopt a black cat today!

[@sandramcmillan4200]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have 2 black cats and 1 tuxedo Cat. They mean everything to me.

[@KdawgTv01]

Omg

[@HappyGagirl]

So sorry for your loss.

[@amazonredhead_68]

So sorry abt loss of your fur baby. ❤

[@kolleenwithak9885]

Sorry for your loss.

[@carnivorecampers]

Watching from the UK 🇬🇧. I don't usually comment because I watch on my TV. I jumped on my phone today to let you know what a remarkable young man you are. Such a kind and happy soul. Happy New Year ❤❤❤

[@winterisblu]

Thank you so much! 😊❤️

[@metatron3]

That’s very cool your cat walks with a leash and is very chill about it

[@Flangobeast]

Had to stop what I was doing to watch Mateo and Lars!!! I swear Lars is so funny without even trying 😂😂😂

[@BeverlyAdventures]

You have the best smile and attitude! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! I am headed out west for the first time beginning of February! Can’t wait to explore

[@cristamalone2461]

One day I'm going to tell you a story of how you unknowingly helped me get through a Very dark time in my life this year. It has been rough but I found your channel and have a new look on my life and what's to come. Thank you Mateo. Hope you have very Happy New Year!!

[@maurawhelan3530]

Mateo, pls take care and enjoy your life! Video as soon as real. First one I saw was the poor woman who passed. You were so compassionate so I’m interested. Best in 2024!really enjoy your music too.

[@winterisblu]

[@louise3993]

Omg. The look on Lars face after he took that unwanted swim. It wasn’t even warm water 😂😂😂. I can’t believe you nailed us with that snowball 😊.

Happy new year K!!

[@lauraslanesvanandphototravels]

What a great compilation...that part about the rain and growth actually made me cry because it's been raining in my life now for a couple of years...letting go of toxic people has been quite lonely...but def needed to grow...and Larrs...when he's rubbing on your face...awwww...so sweet! I cannot WAIT to start van life! Finally having a van is great but not having the finances to start sucks...hoping over the next month I can save enough for my 2 van life excursions I have planned...Quartzsite and a place near Marana, AZ (2nd one is w/a meetup group of van lifers on fb) so I gotta get ready! p.s...really hope I get to meet you on the road someday!

[@winterisblu]

So excited for your journey! Happy new year!

[@Cali_Fornia869]

That was fun looking back on all your journeys, poor Lars that water scene when you fell was scary 😱, but he’s a trooper and trusts you so much. You both are so much fun to watch. I don’t know if you googled those black and yellow spiders but I seen one once, it was so gigantic it freaked me out, I found out they are harmless and every night they move to another location, and they take their web with them 😮 Happy first year and Happy Nee Year !!! ❤❤❤ You pal Susie from Michigan

[@lailanimessina1473]

Wow 😳 Cause it’s not wild enough that spiders make the webs they do… these spiders pack it up and take it to the next destination like a suitcase 🤣🤣 Amazing and crazy

[@sandrajordan3802]

Banana spiders, garden spiders are not harmful but I hate them anyway.

[@irmielam5192]

I ran into one of those spiders once...they are so huge. Absolutely horrifying!!

[@apple231_8]

Thanks for sharing 💕 Wishing U & Lars a COZY & PEACEFUL NEW YEARS EVE 🎊 🎉😽

[@winterisblu]

Happy new year!!

[@chakalatasoulstar8232]
