Wow what a fantastic adventure, wish I had found this sooner, if I could change one thing I would like to see more raw footage of the group chatting and talking about the adventure
I love my country :) I go and visit every summer and it just gives me so much joy. My parents are from Barranquilla and the coast life is honestly the best life.
Ben, can't believe I missed this one along the way. Great video. I visited Colombia twice, but never got up into the Andies much. Cartagena, Medellin, Pereria, Cali. Happy travels.
I've been with you since the tip of a South America... you provide a whole mood...a vibe, if you will. When I feel bogged down with my 'corporate' job, it's you I seek for reprieve. Thank you. So much more than you know.
Hi folks, I can't thank you enough for the filming of your adventures. You are fulfilling my dreams and I so admire you all. I was injured by an IED in Iraq and am now in a wheel chair so I have to travel vicariously through others. I too love your puppy, even though I am no loger mobile, I can still dream. You all are such a wonderful inspiration to me and really warmed my heart. I used to surf as well growing up in So California. Thank you so much for such a wonderful gift. With appreciation
I have a 67 Westy, this makes me want to take it off the beaten path so bad! Looks like a fantastic journey you can share stories for the rest of your life.
Great videos, sweet dog, lots of friendly people, love the slack line. Reminds us of our travels in Central America, and makes us want to do more! Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Debbie and Mike
They are being made as we are on the road, so new episodes are coming out all the time, right now we usually release a video for the last month / last country we were in.
Just binged season one. Looks amazing. Seeing you improve at filming, editing and doing voice overs during this series is super motivating to me. I would love to try to create my own version of a series like this in the future.
Thanks! I watched the video as I am a friend of Drunken Smokoe Haha I am about to go traveling myself and this has really made me passionate about going. South America is apart of the trip so this was a great watch.
Thanks for the message of support Tim. more videos will come through, but they might take some time. Editing from the bus is not always easy, but I will get them out when I can. In the next one you will see some of the problems we have been facing on the road. There have been some dramas. If you have facebook you can find us on there too. Search Hasta Alaska And for sure we should meet up if you are in Cali, thanks for the kind invitation. PS I couldn't reply to inbox msg.
This is so awesome. Please keep going, I'm living vicariously through you as I'm taking a break from traveling and currently working. Stop by when you pass through L.A.!
Hi there you two, just found your videos and can't get enough of them. I do live in a motor home myself in Australia QLD. Hey, I am trying to find some of your videos I haven't seen yet. Do you have a list for us, so we can search after titles? Searching after Hasta Alaska S01E05 for example doesn't bring results. Keep it up, we all have to accept interruptions due virus. I myself stuck in NSW at work and can't go back :o))
Thank you for advices, and website. My friend´s dad had a VW beatle from 1972, and he know a lot about vw engine, so we hope that everything will be alright hehe. I can´t wait your new videos. Greetings :)
I wish you had a video camera then too! I would love to see those videos! ha ha. There are a lot of school buses here in Central America, one day I would love to do what you are doing!
Congratulations on your travels. What a great series. Whats next? Also wondering who the artist is that played at 3:00 on this vid? Great travels and sound tracks!
You are great! I used to have a 74 kombi that I lived in and drove around the western US. I wish I had a video camera then! Your videos make me homesick for it in a good way, and inspire me to get back on the road. I have a short school bus I have converted to a motorhome, and I plan on making road trip videos this summer. I dont know if they will be as exciting as yours though! Please keep up the excellent work :) Lovin' you!
So cool! How long did it take you to plan this trip? That van seams like a pain in the ass how many times it breaks down, but I guess that's part of the adventure.
Wow! I´m so impressed, you´re video is awesome and I´m really envy. I´ve got many questions hope you´ll answer them. Which town is it in Columbia where these colourful streets are? And how long did you go and where did you get the bus? greetings
oh maaan awesome, ill travel on my kombi one day, are you guys german?? what beaches are you planin on visiting in mexico?? i wish i could see you guys around
This was a beautiful video: But does any one know the song between 2:14 to 4:50??? I want to buy this song... please help its been suck in my head for days...
im going to do the trip down to south america i have a question see if you could tell me how did you do about money going to so many differnt countries my name is Pedro i live in Florida USA thank you kip traveling
Kombi Life Please bear with my question here..I am half puerto rican and half irish I look more light skin. I went to La Paz, Bolivia. back in 1988 it was great. Has their been any new vaccination you needed to get while in Columbia or Bolivia?? I am thinking of a trip to 5 countries..Chile,Nicaragua,and Costa Rica.I won't be traveling like the way you guys did, that takes balls of something..My ace in the hole is my friend from El Salvador so any unruly warlords will be in check I hope..Any info would be great..Be safe..Peace
Can someone tell me what he said at 14:34 please? It sounds like "crossing the infamous darenka" but no matter how many times I listen I can not find it on Google search or Google maps/earth. What is he going to cross that is infamous? Thanks and fantastic travel series.
Kombi Life Yeah, lol I figured it out by using a different set of speakers. For some reason my little built in monitor speakers were not sounding it out right. I am well aware of the darien gap and studied it back when I was researching the pan-american. I have been planning on a trip south to Buenos Aires for some time now but not quite figured out the logistics of travel through the Darien as of yet.
Did you really drive the combo up and down that hill at the valley of palms to the man-made waterfall with all the rocks in the road you could have flipped the van.
Hey guys! You are reale inspired for me and my friends, and after a lot of watched couchsurfing, and your kombilife video we decided to do the same thing, but in Europe. We have about 4000€ saved money, and we are looking for VW van (it's my dream since I was 10 years old) :). We are planing to for about 2 years (when we finished our study obligations, but in the meantime we are colecting money for our trip, an VW t2 van. Can you help us to find some cheap (how much did you pay your)? Cheers :)
Not really - I had a run in with some bad people in Cali, Colombia who claimed to be from a gang - but I managed to talk my way out of it, close call though
I watched all of your original videos years ago. I love this format. Thanks for all the content over the years.
Glad you like them!

Really enjoying these blasts from the past, mate. Miss you guys.

Muy contento de que disfrutaron su visita a Colombia
Que viva Colombia y su gente

I've been with you since the tip of a South America... you provide a whole mood...a vibe, if you will. When I feel bogged down with my 'corporate' job, it's you I seek for reprieve. Thank you. So much more than you know.
If I ever get a wild idea of buying a VW bus for a long journey I hope someone will knock some sense into me.
Thank John, you brought a big smile to our face first thing this morning!
lol was thinking the same thing.
+John Strabismus +1
Yeah buy a Mercedes G-wagon with a om617 instead:p
I don't think they're usually this unreliable..

Hi there you two, just found your videos and can't get enough of them. I do live in a motor home myself in Australia QLD. Hey, I am trying to find some of your videos I haven't seen yet.

I'm not sure if you're cuter, or the pup is. I do know that you've got excellent taste in music. Our playlists are pretty well interchangeable.
Wow, the girl in the 1:29 looks amazing
Thank you for advices, and website. My friend´s dad had a VW beatle from 1972, and he know a lot about vw engine, so we hope that everything will be alright hehe.

See you up there mate...and remember, don't work for too long, it is a big world out there ;)
So cool! How long did it take you to plan this trip? That van seams like a pain in the ass how many times it breaks down, but I guess that's part of the adventure.
There wasn't a whole lot of planning, I was already travelling and just decided to get a Bus to save on hostels...:)
At 15:05 is it the Costeño Beach Hostal ? :-) if I'm not mistaken.... This was one of the best places to be on my trip last year
Costeno beach was my favorite
awesome guys!! hope you enjoyed my country!!
Amazing video!
wait a minute 5:44 that's traditional Cuban music, Buena Vista Social Club :P Viva Cuba Libre !! \o/
well spotted
y?.....es musica latina...
y tu que sabes de musica si nunca le has dado un beso a un caballo viejo anda
por si no lo sabias la musica es universal; te vas a morir porque no colocaron canciones colombianas? deja la bobada y madura..disfruta del video.....
de camino ala vereda
I wonder how many times he's had to replace his suspension, if you know what I mean ;)
I love this!!! Great video!
I love your videos
That was a Cuban song from about 5:44 to ~8:21 while you were in Columbia (?)
Why did not you go through Brazil at the time? I am whatching all the videos. Crazy man!!!
Against my better judgement I have subscribed :-)
8:24 omg this song gives me so much memories!!!!
Великолепно! Просто класс)
Some of the food down there looks very tasty.
I don't believe I seen any videos of saliento hope you had the chance to visit the place it's is worth the trip alone
Wow! I´m so impressed, you´re video is awesome and I´m really envy. I´ve got many questions hope you´ll answer them. Which town is it in Columbia where these colourful streets are? And how long did you go and where did you get the bus? greetings
and an important aspect: Buena Vista social club created your video better still. I love them. Good choice!
It is not Columbia it is Colombia. :)
sorry, I meant Colombia. What´s the name of this town there?
Philo meny
The name of the colorful town is Guatapé, it is close to Medellín.
No man, I am from Jersey Channel Islands. Not sure where we will be in Mexico, but I think we will be at ALL of the beaches :)
It is Buena Vista Social Club - De Camino a La Vereda

What kind of slack line are you using. Looking to get one.
When I went through the valley of the palms I was advised to only travel in the daytime by the military at a check point did you encounter the same?
Not at that time.
This was a beautiful video: But does any one know the song between 2:14 to 4:50??? I want to buy this song... please help its been suck in my head for days...

Why is this video not available?
Hey guys! Love the videos! Keep 'em coming. You are all an inspiration! Can you tell me what song/group is playing from 5:44 to 8:20? Thanks! :)
MrTHenley
One of the excellent songs of the album “Buena Vista Social Club”.
Can someone tell me what he said at 14:34 please? It sounds like "crossing the infamous darenka" but no matter how many times I listen I can not find it on Google search or Google maps/earth. What is he going to cross that is infamous? Thanks and fantastic travel series.
Darien Gap mate, the only 100km roadless stretch between South and North Americas. Pretty full on!
Kombi Life Yeah, lol I figured it out by using a different set of speakers. For some reason my little built in monitor speakers were not sounding it out right. I am well aware of the darien gap and studied it back when I was researching the pan-american. I have been planning on a trip south to Buenos Aires for some time now but not quite figured out the logistics of travel through the Darien as of yet.
hey hasta dude namasthe ..welcome to india. cochin.
