Stealth Camping in Seattle (Making Indian Pizza)

[@sweetness2886]

I’ve been checking and checking for your post today. It has been a very emotional day. You and Lars always makes me smile.

[@KiaSmith-dc3gn]

Agree 😍

[@MugShotVlogs]

I hope your day gets better. I checked all day too!

[@thetrinitee]

Hope your day gets a little better

[@concerned8514]

I hope everything works out for your good. Hang in there..

[@jaclyn2527]

Hang in there ❤

[@blacziliankisses]

I don't usually find myself worrying about things that aren't my business but it's so sad that people will be quick to view someone's content and not at least drop a like for their time and energy they put into their content and editing. But will be quick to give their advice to people. Kinda sad but I do love this man's content. I even like before I finish watching. God bless 💋💙

[@theetravelhippie]

right!!

[@carolynrains-es7kx]

I've often thought the same thing🤔,👍

[@teen5089]

I don’t get it either. All these views but yet people can’t hit the like button 😡

[@NinjaBooKitty]

Luckily, he does get paid for views. 💗💗

[@pamg1205]

I always like om channels I watch, but are we "like" shaming now. This sounds like the tip shaming people do.

[@quit2quilt525]

You know what made me subscribe? How you ALWAYS give a loving chuckle when looking at Lars or talking to Lars. I know it’s weird to some but I love how Lars makes you happy. It’s not a hardy laugh or anything like that. But just an eternal smile and chuckle from the heart. My favorite gesture of all! I wonder if you realize you do that. Lol! I’m the same with my cat BamBam! Love it! Your personality shines through the screen!

[@NWilliams93]

same for me, followed by the mushroom shirt, and thirdly the fact hes in my state!

[@falltravels4049]

Mateo I think you are a great chef! Your food is so excellent, healthy and creative! Here's wishing you all the best with the van repair!

[@winterisblu]

Thank you so much!!

[@sleepnuance7840]

I LOVE watching people eat. Something is wrong with me 😂 it’s like I’m eating vicariously!!

[@Rootedandreaching]

It's a gift. I do it as well when food is low. Watch videos of amazing food from around the world or cool folks like this young man and spiritually enjoy it with them.

[@KieraTheStray]

Reasons I park far away. 1: when I load up the car, I need extra time to put things away and organize. I don't want to take up a prime spot with ppl all around me being nosey. 2: I have a dog, I park n good shade areas which are usually far away. Plus less people for him to feel on guard about being around the car. 3: I like privacy when going in and out of my car and it's nice to not worry about ppl peeking over your shoulder. 4: my car has a lot of stuff on it. It's easy to pull in and out of open areas than tight places. ANYWAY Good video as always Mateo!!

[@livefreevinnie]

I park my rig away from everybody when doing business inside any stores. I’ve been doing this seen I started driving. It minimize door dings, scratches, and nosy people.

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

I know what you are saying, silly thing is I always park miles away from other cars in carparks and when I come out I am always damn surrounded

[@ineedadab]

More exorcise too lol, at least for me that's why I do it

[@marvinbova5092]

I do the same in my rig 😂😂😂

[@7topseven7]

I always see people waiting for spots up front. I just park farther back and end up walking past them as they’re still waiting

[@realist7239]

@helenlizzystewart4908 Check into being a Ti(targeted individual), because that is what you are it's called Gang Stalking(nothing to do with any gangs)

[@annettakilpatrick953]

That pizza looks absolutely amazing. Your shows are always so relaxing. You never show stress or defeat and you choose the most relaxing music. You and Lars seem so at peace and at my age very senior citizen I need all the peace I can get in my life. You manage to keep one old lady calm. God bless you and never let this world change who you are. Peace ✌️

[@BrooklynHudson]

I always part-bake my crust first with a little olive oil, then I take it out and add the toppings, and put it back in for however long it needs.

[@tonijones4018]

It’s such a pleasure to see standing up cooking in your van. I also love your honest food reviews.

[@dorisofcihi]

I almost got a little sad thinking you weren’t posting today…now I’m happy! Love your channel Mateo❤️

[@zenathompson24]

Same . I kept refreshing and looking 😊

[@Khad-b1g]

Coming from someone that worked the front desk for too long; an early checkin is definitely not a guarantee. It depends on the expected arrival and occupancy of the hotel. And some hotels will actually charge for an additional day if you try to check in at like 2am or something

[@inspiredfaith197]

So true. I know that as a former front desk clerk (like you) and as a customer.

[@blackcherry6877]

Yeah when he said that I was like...no sir, it don't always work like that.

[@lauradavis63]

Right!

[@Donna-zc9ii]

Mateo, after roasting the pepper, wrap it in a paper towel, put in a zip lock, let it steam in there, take out and rub the char off with the paper towel. 😊

[@_Redtailhawk_]

Yes that what my grandmother use to do too!

[@tracyhickok]

Welcome to Washington!!! You two have got to check out the Olympic Peninsula! Especially Lake Crescent and Lake Quinault. Absolutely beautiful and lots of hiking. Also, head up to Lake Diablo in the North Cascades. So beautiful up there too! Have a wonderful time and be safe! Hugs to you and sweet Lars.❤

[@MimiNeligan1980]

Carbon lake by Mount Rainier is so much fun😂😊😊😊😊

[@amiralions2681]

You've got to make Salmon while you're here. The Seattle Aquarium and Woodland Park Zoo are in Seattle and there's Island Adventures whale watching tours, they a little bit of a drive north of Seattle but the whales and all manner of animals like to show off for the boats up there. No one is allowed to feed the animals, they just like to be seen 🥰

[@ShannonKelly-iw6lb]

Do the Duck Taxi from downtown it is so fun!!!!

[@AlyssaCarter-m1i]

The Seattle aquarium is way overpriced. I have the EBT discount so it’s five dollars and that seems fair to me. But $50 per adult at normal price is insane.

[@williammusgrove7015]

My wife Candy and I really enjoy your videos. Having subscribed a while now we found you and Lars to be so calming and enjoyable. You, my son, will go far! Thank you

[@keekum]

HOH RAINFOREST !!! That place is full of magic and will inspire some music for you I am sure

[@snow6390]

Yes, this 👆🏽

[@JerseyGirl50]

The pizza looked delish. I would call it a fusion pizza - Indian, Italian & Greek!

[@thewiseguy3529]

Mediterranean*

[@thereseshine7506]

Best wishes on a speedy recovery of Gossamer! Praying.❤

[@KlassyKoo]

As a Seattle native born and raised, I would highly recommend any tourist to check out the space needle because it gives you an amazing view of our city, but you have to go at night time because the view is absolutely breathtaking compared to the day Also an amazing Indian restaurant in Kent which is about 25-30 minutes from Seattle is called “Maharaja Cuisine Of India” and I always order their butter chicken with garlic naan

[@RenayOpish]

At sunset!! And watch the light change! Space Needle is my favorite, so retro kitsch spacey!

[@EnchantedXennial]

If you are nice and not mean, customer service usually will help. I loved helping others when I could 😊 and of course you are super nice!

[@hawes-wintersart]

Hurricane Ridge Port Angeles Also Lake Crescent just outside of Port Angeles. There is also a lighthouse you can hike out to the Dungeness Lighthouse, just outside of Port Angeles. I live in Port Angeles and have done all these things. Its a beautiful area.

[@CreativeDesignbyJessica]

AMAZING! You should think about creating a cookbook. You're always making some yummy dishes. TFS Be Blessed

[@bevilycooper9679]

Really like your channel and the fact that you cook healthy foods and make it look fun. 😊

[@theetravelhippie]

as a fellow traveler, I think we eventually end up back in the places we have bad experiences in. To heal and create better memories ❤

[@Lunarstruck1]

It's all about attitude. You got it. Never stop.

[@sparksessence]

Yes, I've been waiting, and the bonus is: Mateo's cooking!

[@sparksessence]

I had the same thoughts as you for the pizza. I hope you can either cook in your room, or place the stove outside, and that you have a fridge in your room. Thinking of you & Lars. Be well, be safe. I'm praying for an honest, repair for a fair price. Maybe feature them for a discount? ;-0

[@lauriebrown8517]

Oh my gosh I live in Washington and there are so many beautiful places! MT Rainier, Leavenworth, Lake Cushman, Westport, North West Trek, the beaches up north like Moclips, Fort Defiance... Food? Fresh Salmon, clam chowder, geoduck! Love your channel, you and Lars rock dude!!

[@radiantlighttech]

Lars is so adorable! I especially love the clip you had in your previous intro where he is giving you a hug (snuggling with your head). Your expression was priceless! 🤣 Your van looks awesome! Hope it gets fixed and no more of that problem. 😊😊

[@ShannonKelly-iw6lb]

I'm in Tacoma and Seattle is a beautiful place. Be very careful out here there has been lots of shootings in the past few weeks and as wonderful as it may seem it's not safe out here right now. I was homeless for 4 years out here and lived the van life. I loved it. Lars is the perfect companion.

[@sojannedos]

I love watching your videos. It brings me so much peace during these hard times I'm going through right now.

[@SandraV-vt4ec]

Mateo can you dedicate on a certain day during the week to make a special meal? You are seriously a chef!! You make cooking look so easy and the quality of food you use it great! Please consider doing one day per week of cooking a special meal. Your meals are so unique and healthy! I love watching you cook and I bought myself the same chefs knife on amazon that you used in your video. You inspire me! I’m gonna try making the Indian pizza! Start recording your recipes and make a cook book called Mateo’s Unique and Easy recipes!

[@EllisInWonderland.]

So good to see you guys! You have such a calming spirit. 🥰🙏🏽♥️

[@Steffgmtb]

You’re the only vanlifer I watch these days. Love your content!

[@levitatingelephant4099]

I love the cutting board!!! So much!! 💜

[@adriennef4637]

As you called Trader Joe's "the happiest place on earth" I happened to look over and my Tinkerbell mug says "the happiest celebration on earth"! I've literally never looked at the back where it's at! How crazy?!😮

[@Winadayaida]

You asked of things to do in Washington. In Seattle there are two things I suggest 1. Public Market Center, You walk it. 2. The Space Needle. I always wanted to go visit or stay at the Nelson Treehouses. You visit you don't have to stay. It's a Family owned treehouse builders. Also there's Port Townsend. There the bunkers you can visit there's no cost. Plus Art Galleries they have a downtown. It's actually underground. Shops and businesses down below town. Don't forget the beaches. Enjoy beautiful Washington.

[@Davidrussle]

Love from Seattle looks fire brotha

[@bitdigital8052]

Brother, I love the new setup and van. My only gripe is I miss the outdoor cooking with the fold up tray table, Coleman single burner stove and fold up oven. I hope you didn’t throw that stuff away because to me that was a highlight of many videos. To watch you work magic with very little was a big draw and win. Peace and Blessings.

[@_Redtailhawk_]

Yeah the magical cooking was always so exciting!!

[@TheMistyDawnShow]

🤩 i JUST found you and you’re BEAUTIFUL! I live in a tiny home with my little dog not far from you, lol …funny 😊 though it’s much more common these days honestly. I ALSO write music/preform ! You are quite inspiring! ❤ Illuminating really! ☀️ Thank you for your content! 🎶(liked & subscribed)

[@Sunflower09929]

Check-in use be at 11am, back in the day. That's great that u were able to do an early morning Check-in. The earliest that I've gotten was 11am, I think.

[@w.a3670]

Hi Mateo, Hi Lars, oh wow that pizza looks absolutely incredible. Love watching your lives, especially the cooking, hope that Gossamer gets whatever issues she's experiencing all done and cleared. Great to see you as always, stay safe.✌

[@susanh881]

It’s always knife when I hear from you and Lars! I love when you cook because you try new things and that’s what I love cause I love to cook cooking is my passion😘

[@junecoulthard8942]

Hey Mateo and Lars, so nice to see your happy face ☺ Always polite and cheerful to everyone, your Momma and Family are so proud. Mmm good 👍🏼delicious 😋 food Mateo! Thankyou and safe travels! Sending much love from beautiful 🇨🇦💕 🐈🐾💙

[@DowntimeArts]

I park that far because I enjoy the walk…been “cramped up” sometimes for 24 hours. Yea I just enjoy the walk.

[@carolclover1238]

Yes,,,good excercise

[@xbree_]

It for the pizza, pre baking the crust would help with the browning issue. Especially bc all the other ingredients were cooked already.

[@casseyisme]

Hey, glad to see yall on the road 🎉

[@Beachpositivity]

I couldn't help but laugh when you said let's head to the hotel and stealth camp. Cut to next scene you backing up with the beeping sound in the parking lot. It was cute. 😊 and thx for your cooking segments. I'm a vanlifer and TJS is my go too... I've picked up great ideas from you. Safe travels! Praying all goes well getting the van fixed! 🙏

[@Mississippihippie-i1x]

Van looks so cozy ☮️💚

[@lif3l3ssgaming]

You should visit Snoqualmie, Or the puget sound while you're on the coast of WA. I prefer middle to east side WA but during the summer it is hotter the more east you go unfortunately. Also Leavenworth is a really cool Bavarian-styled village.

[@carolinagrammy2735]

I was so excited to see where you are and what you are up to when I got the notification. I am living vicariously through you, Mateo. Lol I'd love to try this pizza you are making btw. I rarely trying anything new when I cook these days because the kids are grown and I live alone but I think I will give it a try this upcoming week. Thanks for the inspiration honey. Sending you lots of love from North Carolina ❤️ Sheri ❤️ PS: Give Lars a a few scratches for me. My cat Bailey is laying beside me watching you and she always runs up to the TV when she sees Lars 😂

[@angelakgrahame9171]

Had to add, that little coffee maker is so Dan cute!

[@Famfunwithbre]

Mateo, you are an inspiration to all!! You have motivated this mother to keep posting and one day I will be as popular as you!!! Many blessings ❤❤❤❤

[@onlymelani]

There's a little town called squim.And you can take the ferry across into Canada, Victoria, Canada.It's absolutely beautiful there.Just an idea

[@carolclover1238]

I camped there,beautiful, thnx

[@izabelinseattle]

I live in Sequim on Miller Peninsula. I get to live in heaven.

[@onlymelani]

@@izabelinseattle It is very beautiful!❤️❤️❤️

[@RogueNoodleAdventures]

I had to comment at 1 minute, Lars in his copilot pod is SOOO cute 🤣😍💜😻

[@bessycorrales6405]

There’s no way that pizza wouldn’t be delicious. Great idea.

[@beckybates75]

Hey Mateo! I'm a bit late to the game, but I'm also thinking of a van life. I have my van now and have been unsure of starting. I see you're in my area. I'm south of Seattle in Steilacoom. Would love to show you a great places in the area or even let's go get a coffee and have some great conversation. Whatever you do, I send my prayers with you. Drive Safe!

[@alisagbolden5184]

I'm in University Place. Wish he had time for Northwest Trek, Take the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle, go to see Mt. Rainier and St. Helens!

[@doloresgonzalez6988]

I can't wait for the future videos Mateo. Wherever you go is fine with me. ❤😊

[@rattlecat5968]

Mateo, if you ever decide to modify your travels and experiences, I could see you driving your own *FOOD TRUCK* from location to location, making your fabulous creations for all to share! That Greek sauce is so flavorful, it would probably work on almost anything! YUM!

[@StellaStarr-wb6ys]

just fyi, there is a KILLER Indian restaurant thats pretty affordable actually with a buffet right next to pikes place! every time im in Seattle I go there. you'd probably like it. :)

[@AstroNut79]

Keep grinding! Y’all are awesome!😺

[@theomartin7339]

As a hotel front desk clerk, if we have a clean room that matches your room type we can check you in early. Some might be jerks about it.

[@donnawilliams2062]

I love your creativity and healthy meals, keep them coming. 😊

[@winterisblu]

Thank you!!

[@VentureOut___]

Looks delicious, I love watching cooking videos. Your videos always have a mellow vibe

[@jo100]

You Cook Great Foods Mateo.

[@winterhawklady1958]

Mateo, I'd love to see you on Whidbey Island. If you decide to come our way, there is plenty of room to park. We are on a 4 acre property in the small town of Coupeville in the Ebey Reserve.

[@carolclover1238]

I camped there,,in old VW bus,camper..way back in 1975.Fabulous place

[@RenayOpish]

The reserve is interesting- historical sites and beautiful walks, Fort Casey was always fun as a kid too.

[@mariedavison3707]

Liking the knife. What kind is it ?

[@Z-1377]

The boys is such a great show , very violent !!!!

[@bettyh.3900]

Excited to see you and Lars. ❤️

[@Rootedandreaching]

I appreciate everything you're doing young man. You are honest and very informative for those of us that will be joining the van/camping experience. Thank you. Bless you. Be safe.

[@flyRICfly]

Dude we were all thinking like…. What the heck is he gonna do with that lemon hahahahahahahahah. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@arazoelove6703]

🙄🙂‍↕️

[@partyof2539]

I called once when I had an early flight and happened to ask and they were able to accommodate, and now I always ask too. Sometimes they have an availability. But sometimes you have to pay, but they’ll usually let you know.

[@TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

Mateo!!! Hi!!! 🥰💖💕 thank you for always bringing light into my day! You truly are one of a kind. I have been checking for this video post even with notifications on lol!

[@ashuttlenamedroo]

I would check out Pike Place Market, The Ballard Locks, Fremont Troll, SpaceNeedle, Point Defiance Zoo or Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle Aquarium, Seattle Science Center, Mount Rainier, Snoqualmie Falls, San Juan Islands, The town of Leavenworth, and Lake Chelan. Plenty of boondocking available in the state and state national campgrounds. Have fun!

[@discomama66]

I love to watch you cook. I have to eat first or I am hungry the whole time - lol! Keep on vanning!

[@DonnyOMalley]

Dude, you’re my new favorite! Much love from San Diego

[@winterisblu]

Thanks for joining us on the journey!

[@WayneBriggs]

Thank you for the Trader Joe's props. I used to work there when there were only 4 of them. Worked at the one in the Marina of Long Beach (1991-93).

[@cathyfarmer1763]

Hey there Mateo and Lars 🙋🏽‍♀️💞 🐈 Lar is so cute! 😍 Your cooking skills Mateo are definitely on another level! 👏🏽👏🏽😊

[@lucyjay7963]

Hello from Ohio. So good to see you. Be safe

[@AnnasInspirationalRetreat]

If you can ask the hotel for an early check in,,,,, you could have asked the shop to sleep in the van overnight.

[@TravelingGamer_]

Heck yeah, I live for the stealth camps bro. Also that pizza looks freakin delicious.

[@winterisblu]

Thanks bruv!!

[@MonicaLeader]

🦋 💜 welcome to the Apple and Coffee state. Highly recommend Whidbey Island and penn cove mussels

[@ms.charli]

And don’t forget to go to Pike Place Market and visit the first Starbucks there and go see the Troll.

[@amandawalski4407]

I just got out of work and got myself home. Sitting down to check youtube and eat a bowl of cereal. This video popped up! I couldn't have picked a better time to watch and unwind! Love your videos!❤❤❤❤❤ Hi Lars! 😻

[@FaraiMoniKA]

Neat trick using the bunch of herbs (parsley?) to brush the oil! Pizza looked yummy. 😋 Good luck with the van repair 🤞🏿

[@olivetom]

I've been pinning for a Mateo and Lars video. Love how that pizza came out😍😍Stay safe you two.💕💕

[@charlenecarnes8139]

A baking stone at the bottom of your oven may help with heat distribution. Seen another channel Cody & Kelly do it with their camping stove. Love your videos good luck with van repairs ❤❤

[@winterisblu]

Thanks for the tip!

[@JQXJQ]

I used to work at a hotel and as long as there was a clean room early check in wasn’t really an issue. It helps if you’re a member of the hotels reward program if the place is part of a chain that has one, that always catches the attention of staff and puts you in the running for free upgrades if you catch a slow night. Also, that pizza sounds spectacular!

[@carmenchase6954]

I would love to see you go to the Seattle marketplace, I loved it there.

[@DragonflyW]

Love watching you & Lars!!! Your pizza looks so good. I love how you use different spices & sauces & the joy on your face while cooking & tasting your food. Stay safe🥰🖤

[@rinanona2348]

Mateo let's hangout before I leave to la!!! My flight is getting canceled left and right, so we got time (Me and the hubby are Bellevue btw.... you can park here for however long)

[@YouTubeMaster1611]

The real adventures in your new van start this winter!

[@denisescruggs2157]

You needed to rinse all that black off your peppers! And actually, I have roasted them longer on a little lower heat. But yes, I love to see your imagination being so creative when cooking! And the fact that you enjoy it as you do is awesome. God bless you Meteo! ✝️🛐✝️

[@harriettholmes539]

⛺️🚙 Good exercise also.

[@toniwade1159]

I just love watching You Cook,I actually make some of Ur meals for Myself ❤

[@winterisblu]

That’s awesome!!

[@autumnl5127]

Lars looks like he is enjoying his new van home and he is allowing you to live there with him😊❤ Lars also looks like he loves the cozy little dome that you gave him for his birthday🎂

[@mybluesaway6856]

Come to Whidbey Island!

[@Out_GalliVANtin]

Deception Pass is so beautiful! I was there 3 weeks ago. :)

[@ChevieBaby]

You are just one of those talented individuals who are great at anything they put their mind or hands on. Musician, chef, carpenter etc that is absolutely incredible ❤ can’t wait until g Gossamer is fixed and ready to go exploring! As always love and blessings to you and Lars from Britt in Alaska ❤❤

[@myjenniferfaal4619]

I absolutely love 💕 your channel. I always tell my kids I miss Mateo and Lars I can’t wait till they post again. I just go back and watch your older videos 😂🥰💕👍 Your channel just really takes me to a relaxing happy place. Thank you for all you do and share. 😊💕👍

[@erizbb3646]

I'm trying that. Can't wait till ur cookbook.

[@pprigge75]

I kept falling asleep because your music always does that and had to restart three nights in a row but made it! Hopefully Gossamer is all good now 🤞🏻🤞🏻
