    I'm one of your viewers that discovered you when your van was seized by the Mexican authorities. Following your journey to get your van back is very interesting. The stress can take a toll on your mental and physical health. You are blessed to have each other, so you are not going through this situation alone. Look for the light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes the tunnel is longer and may take longer to get to the end. Life isn't waiting for the storm to pass, its learning how to dance in the rain. Find something good in everyday. Turn the page and start a new chapter of your lives. Stand strong in your new journey. You have the support of God, family, friends and thousands of RUclips viewers. God bless you.

    I lived in the French Quarter for 7 years - Everyone loves a "behind-the-scence" visual/education/history about New Orleans. Voo-Doo - Congo Square - the non-white washed tours of the near by plantations. (Oak Alley is the worst.) Etc,. You're living in one of the most amazing cities in the US - do a deep dive.

      I said it before and say it again, having friends born and raised in Mexico that will not go back even to visit relatives, I will not go! Was explained how much has changed with the cartel/sex trafficking/ etc. When I asked about your van issue and said long gone since fixed up like that, not a CB normal van.

I was very nervous for the you 3. Life is so short and I love the way you all share your lives and understand maybe removing Mexico from your bucket list.
    I personally have never felt safe in that part of the world and have traveled to Europe, USA,& Africa instead. Continue to stay strong love your strengths 💕💕

    Someone mentioned meet ups... during the meet ups with a small group, you could take us on a walking tour of one area.
    $$ Possible income... do a second, short group walking tour for your membership channel during the same day or another day.
    In the meantime, i'm adding my prayer for you, your family, your dog and Nola to the prayers that have already gone up. Be blessed.

    NOLA LOVE! Don't give up on travels. Rent a mini can or large suv buy a bluetti or jackery take it back and use a tent. I know it's not a van but don't let them win and steal what makes you both happy and that's traveling. This suggestion can not make up for the van but it can bring hope and joy back in your lives. The STATES have so much to see and do. Praying for you two.
    1. BLOG morning walks in the park or workouts
    2. Video awesome spots to visit in New Orleans. This alone should give a couple awesome videos.
    3. You can make video's of your past travels giving advise on places to stay, things to do and routes to take that have scenery.

    I subscribed to your channel weeks ago because your stolen van story showed up on my feed. I too have a RUclips van channel (I’m doing van life differently by solely working in my van) and it saddens me to hear that this has happened to you. I also pray that you get Nola back. Anyway, the purpose of me commenting is to encourage you to continue your YT channel. Maybe sometime soon do a short intro to all of your future videos so newcomers know exactly who you are and the new direction of your channel. (See my channel intro for an example). Maybe say something like, “We’re Tenaj & Tino, and for the past _____ years we’ve been traveling in our van named Nola until she was taken from us by the Mexican authorities. Come along on our journey as we rediscover the beauty of Louisiana until we can retrieve and reunite with our van.”…
    Just a suggestion…
    In the meantime, love you guys and I loved watching your video on how you met! 😃❤️

    Ideas? Yes! How your previous lifes/careers/hobbies prepared you for travel lifestyles, interviewing your family, why you went itno your previoous careers, more of your amazing love story, visit locals favorite nola places. Your interactions with other youtubers. Is there ex-military.current militarys RV/Vanlife communities? What were your previous careeer specialties? Not like technical, like were you the go getter, compasionate one, etc. What do you like to watch? What are your currrent hobbies when stuck inside? How often do you check in with family and friends? How do you edit? Try unusual activities in Nola. Different ways to transportation in Nola? Boata? Love you. if there is $$, why not rebuild a Van to sell or use if your current van is out for a while. Different grateful/favorite things about people,. places, hobbies, etc. visit community groups and volunteer for the day. More time with Gypsy. You arer so positive when you talk about anything, i just love your style, edit, music, So, just love to spend any time with y'all. I binge watched everything.

      @@TenajTino - 👍🤩Ooooh I have studied YT. My whole career has been marketing & sales. You guys have done a lot of things right. There is no rhyme or justifiable viable reason why you guys haven’t had more subscribers and YT success. You guys were on the Tamron Hall show for goodness sakes!
      I have a suggestion for you to take some of your older videos, like the Istanbul & Turkey videos, (that red you guys wore was beautiful - especially Tenaj’s dress) and the cute monkey video that was on Tenaj’s shoulder (or which ever ones you want to take a snippet from - not just a YT Short) and slightly modify them and repost them with a new title as a new video. Like “How much does it cost to live in Turkey” or “Does Turkey like visitors from the USA?” Or is Malaysia dangerous” (you guys went out in the middle of the night to eat because of the jet lag with no problem). It creates new traffic to your channel. Leave the old video up because you can post a link to it from the new modified video to drive traffic. 😉 Also, YT likes controversy & don’t be afraid to do a little clickbait like everybody else (I hate clickbait, but I understand it). 😂

      Great tips, we have spoken about content like this and we hope it will take off with our new fan base, but also worried they wanna see new stuff and not rehashed videos. We too thought the Tamron Hall show would do something, but it didn’t, May a very small bump back then but this van issue has brought on more. We have also thought of controversy but that could be touchy and alienate people that disagree. YT is so picky and difficult 😞 thanks for the continued love and support ❤️

    Keeping you two in prayers. I think you two will get your van back; otherwise, Mexico is going to lose a lot of tourism $$$$ behind this coming to the forefront. I will never visit Mexico again. I went once 20 years ago & the hotel managers pulled a fast one on my friend & I by stealing out out of our luggage. They lied & said they could not find our reservation, then insisted we put our luggage in a closet to hold until they sort things out. It was a 5 star hotel. Miraculously they found our reservation, we went to our room to shower, change, & hit the streets. My friend noticed a pair of new shoes were missing. I swore her down she left them home. She went down stairs, confronted them, they denied it, she went to the front door lobby telling every guest not to fall for the prank & keep their luggge with them at all times. OMG! The manager ran to the door with her shoes & begged her to stop & go to her room. I WAS BAFFLED. Upon returning home to Miami, Florida, I noticed my black Chanel Bomber Jacket from the 80's was missing; I wore it on the flight to Cancum Mexico. 😢😢😢

    👍🤩💝 TLDR - Video Suggestion:
    ~ ⭐️since you guys grew up there & New Orleans has a lot offer…do a bunch of New Orleans videos. The city is considered the birthplace of jazz. New Orleans is also known for its Creole and Cajun food, including po' boys, gumbo, jambalaya, and beignets. Where to find the best beignets etc. The city also has a vibrant cocktail culture and many museums and attractions.
    You guys are used to it because you’ve been around it your whole life but do a video like when you go to other places like your Turkey trip for example. Cover the attractions, architecture, old houses, local folktales & stories, places to visit, places to get certain food, places to go dancing, French Quarter, Bourbon Street & history, Mardi Gras & history, the different hotels and the parking situation, how to avoid getting towed in the city, should visitors rent a car or take public transit, as well as other suggestions for visitors, what the locals dislike about visitors, how the *locals are sports fanatics* and all of the crazy tailgating, how are things different in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina, how are things different in New Orleans from when you guys were kids, who are major employers in New Orleans and the surrounding areas that help New Orleans and it’s citizens thrive (maybe this can be a whole series)
