[@drivenbyadventure]

Love this!! Adding some new places to our list. Our goal this summer is Alaska!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Love it! Alaska was our original goal for the van before Covid hit!

[@sasvanach7859]

Alaska just sounds cold to me . Or should i say i imagine it to be cold what are summers like there?

[@Jacob619619]

(9:25) - LOL, FUEL!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Hahaha! 🤣

[@quikkyle601]

Bend OR & Colorado are our favorites so far! Definitely add them to your list

[@MathersOnTheMap]

100% hoping we can get over there soon! We used to live in Portland OR and loved PNW.

[@RonPaulgirls]

THAT LOOKS LIKE A WARM UP TO A TRAVEL TOUR TO THE PROPERTIES YOU'VE BUILT, MANAGED, REMODELED OR WHATEVER, WHICH COULD BE HOTELS OR WHATEVER...........THIS COULD BE HUGE

[@CoppolaNick]

I love the content you guys post! I can't wait to embark on my travels. Inspired!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you Nick! Appreciate it!!

[@byronbrasher8118]

Wow, I love the close ups of Kellie cooking. Just love it. You know what I love,? Kellies hands and nails are always spotless. Her pots and pans and cooking surface always spotless. Love you guys and so looking forward to my own journey and continuing to watch yours. I have learnt so much from you . We have started watching all of your videos from day one. Wow love it. Happy New Years guys.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

thanks Byron, but who is Kellie??? haha

[@NoOverhead]

@@MathersOnTheMap Bruh....she's the one with the spotless hands and nails. Obviously.

[@byronbrasher8118]

Sorry wrong channel

[@ijblessjourney]

Enjoyed the video and recommendations.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you!!! Any recommendations where to go next?

[@ijblessjourney]

@@MathersOnTheMap this past summer we enjoyed our cross country trip but the area we loved was South Dakota. Mount Rushmore, Needles highway, Badlands, I can’t remember all of what we did but it was an amazing experience. Badlands was crazy beautiful and we boon-docked immediately outside the park, I can’t even explain in words the beautiful sunrise/set. South Dakota has so much to see and do, truly recommend it.

[@bryantibbals2110]

The “foilage” is spectacular up here in the north east! 😂 Hoping to get on the road soon myself.. Thanks for all the awesome content and inspiration! Cheers!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Oops! Haha thanks Bryan

[@georgechilidis8446]

Wow + 3:07 did I see a ping-pong 🏓 table ..enjoy your next destinations of 2022 watching from Montréal Quebec Canada 🇨🇦

[@MathersOnTheMap]

haha yes you did George! Are you a good ping pong player?

[@georgechilidis8446]

@@MathersOnTheMap yes I’m Kevin, going on 67 years old this summer 2022 and I’m looking for a challenger. The city of Montréal planted 2 concrete ping-pong tables per park, I’ll go easy on you 🏓🤗

[@OurRetiredLife]

Great episode you two! Alex keeps talking about Baja, I'm hesitant. You and some other vanlifers are starting to make me more comfortable with the idea 😀

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Yula! It's amazing!!!!

[@jimkane2332]

You have to come to Central California to see Yosemite and Sequoia/Kings Canyon. I am an ED Nurse soon to be NP in Fresno CA. There are also lots of 8 wk travel assignments in our area!😇

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Hey Jim! We used to live in California when Taylor was a travel nurse! We visited both yosemite and sequoia which were incredible. Would love to bring the van out there

[@thewanderingwelshes4732]

Wonderful video & list. We've thoroughly enjoyed watching your adventures. Looking forward to more. May we suggest, Ozark National Scenic Riverways in our beautiful state of Missouri. Also, we have many lovely springs & caves to explore, here. Other travelers we watch/follow have called the Ozarks a "hidden gem." Safe travels!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks for sharing we’ll have to add that to our list!!!

[@owenparker6651]

You guys are getting some good miles on the van! A trip to the Pacific Northwest is worth a few miles. Some magnificent hiking. You could plan on doing Vancouver, Canada as part of the same trip. YTer SUV RVing covers the whole western part of the US very well with regards of things to do, see, hikes, etc... So long as you are on the road, adding experiences, ya can't really go that wrong! Happy travels!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Owen!! the PNW and BC are high on our list!! Hoping to get there soon 🤞🏻

[@jennytraverso1075]

Wondering what credit card you think is the best for van travel. With fuel purchases so frequent is there a card that is good for hotel points in case you need a break from the road? Would love to see you do a break down of how you use cards as you travel and manage points/rewards. Also, love the "day in the life" type video.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Hey Jenny! I love this question, for fuel I use my citi premier card earning 3x on gas. This can also be used for hotels but I use the chase sapphire reserve a lot as well (more for travel related purchases) and my Hyatt card since were big into Hyatt hotels. Honestly though I manage a lot of cards and try to rack up points and much as I can. This is a good video idea

[@antza7954]

Chattanooga TN ruby falls, rock city Ga. And if you ever pass by, mammoth caves in Ky is a cool place. Just did WV and the grenbriar tour, cool place if you like History.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

We always wondered what to do in WV since we drove by it so many times, we need to add it our list!

[@antza7954]

@@MathersOnTheMap just driving I64 wv is amazing compared to my flat florida. Awsome content 👌, harpers ferry wv too.

[@mikemishreki5623]

Hi guys, I love your videos. I’m about done with my van conversion and came across an issue at some of the RV sites. They require the vehicle be registered as an RV and won’t allow conversion vans without the registration. Just wondering if you guys registered yours and if you have any suggestions or recommendations?

[@BabyBunch]

In Texas you can park right on the beach along the water

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Yep! we experienced that outside of Houston!

[@mermaidvanvb]

Hey thanks for info!! ? On your H2O filtration- did you trust this while in Baha for drinking & cooking water?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

You're welcome! You get your water from Aqua Purificada's which is purified drinking water (nobody really drinks the tap water in Baja).

[@lee-3541]

You are a couple that appears to share the same "brain" with myself and my girlfriend. 😂 We covered much of the same ground as you guys across North America. For us, Los Cabos is 1a and Todos Santos is 1b. We loved your initial thought to leave the van and return every year. We just purchased a quiet beach front condo in the corridor near San Jose del Cabo. Two suggestions for you next trip to Baja.. 1. Scuba dive around Land's end and the "Arch" 2. Hike the Sugar Port Trail to Punta Lobos. It is a breataking view of the Pacific Ocean! btw... I took your suggestion (must have been Taylor's) from a previous comment and asked the girl (Andrea) to marry me! 😃

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Congrats on the engagement!!! We’ll have to scuba near the arch and try that hike. We want to get back to Baja so bad we miss it!

bear hunting/let taylor shoot that dam bear-remember to pull the trigger slowly-not to make a lot of noise/bear meat stew/bear meat steaks/take care-also carry bear spray too/thanks much

[@NoOverhead]

I know this video took a lot of effort to make, so thanks for sharing! (although, I feel like the Tetons should be #1 😀)

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Really appreciate this cause it did!! Tetons is up there for sure but there’s no waves there!
