Happy tubeday! Alaska is so good not wanting her birthday treat as it was on the table on a plate.

[@AustralianRadioindie]

congrats Legend

[@riceball_5]

Happy birthday Alaska! The luckiest travel pup!

[@KombiLife]

she certainly is

[@MadroneHumanRights]

Take you out for a poo, lololololol... Tamara you are such a great addition to Kombi Life. The chemistry between you is perfect, yay for Tamara.

[@KombiLife]

thanks so much x

[@jodymooney255]

@@KombiLifedefinitely, a keeper for sure!

[@ihfbf]

Love how kombi life has evolved. Crazy how the vibe changes as we all age, im 100% here for it though.

[@KombiLife]

Thanks, it really wouldn't be the same without you guys sharing the journey with us 🥰

[@alexandremendes4730]

Hey Hey!! You're in my backyard =) Followed all your travels from Patagonia to Alaska and now you are here in the Algarve! I've seen that you found some great spots already, if you want more great places to go, just let me know! Cheers ;)

[@alexandremendes4730]

Oh and portuguese don't buy Pastel de Nata in Lidl ;)

[@KombiLife]

Jajaja - thanks for the offer

[@rems7474]

Hello Tamara, hello Ben, hello Alaska. Thank you for your good sense of humour. Cheers from France.🇫🇷

[@KombiLife]

Hi Rems, you’re welcome ☺️

[@jodymooney255]

I will just say the love that you both share is true love! Ben, she is a keeper!❤

[@KombiLife]

We both 100% agree

[@Slowrollingtheisland]

You guys make an awesome fun couple I so hope it works out for you 🎉 if he insists on a kombi at least he's found a mighty mini mate that fits in it. Love you both ❤🎉

[@KombiLife]

Haha mighty mini mate indeed 💪

[@JRs-Garage]

Wow as usual thanks for the video! I can’t believe it’s been 12 years since you built your first Kombi !

[@vipercoil630]

Epic views. Felt like I was watching the Endless Summer. Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems like the inside of the Kombi is kept much more tidy since Tamara is onboard?

[@KombiLife]

maybe Ben is trying (and succeding 😜) to make a good impression

[@simonliebers7791]

Happy borkday, Alaska! Last time I saw you, you were just a tiny pup (it's been about 10 years since Mexico)

[@KombiLife]

wow so many adventures since then 😊

[@simonliebers7791]

@@KombiLife hopefully many more to come!

[@robertw1524]

Tamara, your presence and contribution is delightful 🌻 !

[@KombiLife]

happy to be here Robert, thanks for being so welcoming 💞

[@roberthardy2013]

Started in the early days and still here, loving these videos. On the plus side I can now properly rebuild a VW engine.

[@KombiLife]

Nice one. Congrats 🥳

[@MarcusTDM]

Great video as always. It’s so lovely seeing you guys together. I’ve watched Kombi Life from the beginning and this is the best series yet. All the best to you both.

[@MarcusTDM]

Sorry Alaska, the three of you! 😊

[@KombiLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@fgansell]

Neat epeisode, love the addition of Tamara, you seem so compatable and have fun, love the surf footage.

[@williamoorejr]

Love having fun on your reverse honeymoon. (you know when "regular people " go exciting places before going home to 9x5s ) you guys stayed home and now back to the adventure. The pottery shop was of interest as my sister has been in that business for some time. Surfboard SLAM??? wow- to pull an imbedded golf ball from a fiberglass enclosure. Surprised your ankle isn't bruised. Tamara - lovey -- where could you spend a better youth. If you ever lose faith in Boomerang- just ask the modern vans how much interest their vans create. Look forward to the next adventure. ps Ben- its still 105 here.

[@KombiLife]

I'd take 105 right now Bill, it's starting to get chilly here.

[@Simphorya]

As an Portuguese kitesurfer i feel so lucky for being born in this beautiful piece of the world! For sure the best beaches are Nazaré, Cascais, Peniche, Espinho, Ericeira, Lagos, Sagres, Aljezur, Vila do Bispo, Murtosa, Figueira da Foz, Costa da Caparica, Carcavelos, Viana do Castelo, Matosinhos in Porto where i live, and Ofir my favorite one. The city’s to explore are Évora, Sintra, Lisboa, Coimbra, Aveiro, Porto, Braga, Guimarães, Viana do Castelo and Bragança. And for last but still extra important the foods to try are Francesinha, Roasted Pork, Arroz de Marisco (Portuguese seafood rice and my favorite) Ameijôas á bolhão pato (Clams so good that Anthony Bourdain almost orgasmed on when he visited Porto) Roasted Octopus, Prego sandwiches, Bifana Sandwiches, and one that every tourist skips, the Portuguese croissants with chocolate, egg cream or ham and cheese (extra bonus points if pressed in a grill so the cheese melts). You also may want to try add cinnamon to the egg custard tarts, it makes them even better!

[@KombiLife]

thanks so much for the suggestions

Bodyboarders killing it

[@bathbomber]

The way I get stubborn water out of my ears is to roll the corner of a tissue so it's a bit stiff and use that. It's much gentler and safer than a q-tip, and also very absorbent.

[@KombiLife]

oh I deffinitely tried that, but thanks for sharing the tip!

[@Adrian-h5f]

I spent 3 month camping in the heather in 1979 along with 8 other boys and girls with just a cold water tap sticking out of the ground great days

[@DeliaLee8]

Really enjoyed the surfing scenes with the lovely background music. So soothing and peaceful. 🙂 Really did not enjoy the nose blowing scene. 🤢 Portugal is beautiful. Enjoy your journey.

[@KombiLife]

Haha 😜

[@chevymike1968]

Happy birthday Alaska!!!! Woof Woof Woof

[@philipbechtle2828]

Beautiful vistas (of surfing)! And great to see some of the fun you’re having :-)

[@KombiLife]

Thanks Philip :)

[@Buzz420]

I have to say that Tamara made that dress look amazing! Happy birthday Alaska

[@KombiLife]

I think so too! 😍

[@alitloff]

I want to be Alaska! lol. Happy Birthday lucky girl!❤

[@wallacethomas9844]

Great to see Kombi Life again. I have missed it.

[@KombiLife]

ahhh thanks 🥰

[@veronicabalfourpaul2288]

Great happy video.

Bodyboarders rock - get a boogie board 🤙

[@stevenlapidus2902]

Hey Ben and Tamara, yet another nice piece of work. Ben, I must say when I saw the title of the vid I was thinking that what was coming was an announcement about the end of Kombi on the You Tube platform. In announcing the series early this year you had indicated pretty clearly that the economics for the channel no longer worked and that changes were possibly coming. So, I wanted to ask where things stand after the season has seemingly run its course. Is the end here? I'm not seeing too much new content even on Patreon and this Spain/Portugal adventure was from quite awhile ago. What have you guys been doing since and care to say anything about what is to come. Like many of your viewers, I have been watching the vids almost since the beginning. Respectfully.

[@KombiLife]

I can say we have another season to produce, but I also say that it was very much unsustainable before this new series, and unfortunately, that has not changed - despite how much people are loving it!. At this rate, this series will be the last 😣 The latest Kombi Crew Real-Time video on Patreon this week shares significant developments and why things must change. We appreciate your question, and for sharing the journey with us Steven

[@tomsummers1137]

Happy BD Alaska, you sweet little runnin’ dog.

[@KombiLife]

"Running doooooog"!!!!

[@VantasticVoyages]

I did this in 2021, similar trip but I went down to Morocco too. Love Lagos, still think about Beats & Burritos

[@clarkspiemuncher]

Hello great to watch your video. can i ask what are the restrictions of parking at the fort car park in 2024 as we were there at the outbreak of convid and contemplating doing a trip and would love to return to sagres, although heard they dont like or let you park overnight but watching your video it looks like they have got past the fear that was pumped out during convid

[@roykale9141]

Alaska is so cute I want to see more of her!

[@denniselgatoblanco824]

Happy birthday Alaska!! Love you girl!!

[@MillCreekSilverJewelry]

What month was this filmed in?

[@TheTravellersCookeBook]

Sagres is incredible .. although we did get munched by 200000 mozzies :)

[@KombiLife]

wow really, we didn't - we got lucky

Where was the end of the road?

this is the furthest south west point you can reach in Mainland Portugal

[@3865ron]

@KombiLife Good. I though it was the end of YOUR road!

[@KombiLife]

@@3865ronno, but stay tuned for that one 😅

[@curiousnomadic]

Is honey cheap in Portugal?

[@KombiLife]

a little, like everythign else, but not significantly cheaper.
