You know the thing I most admire about you, brother? You seem FREE. I know life has its ups and downs with so many of us are tied to a cubicle etc. Thank you for letting us in your life. You’re a good dude.
Mateo, I've been watching you for over a year now and I want to say how proud I am of you and very happy for your success. Your as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. Its in your eyes and smile. As clear as day. Good luck in all that you do moving forward.
I don't remember the last time I actively checked a RUclipsr's channel for updates, Mateo. You and Lars got me wrapped up lol 😄 so excited to see everything coming along. Ready to get back on the road vicariously through you guys!
Your kitchen set up is fantastic. You’ve done a phenomenal job on the build out Mateo. So proud of you. That’s from a 73-year-old grandma who really enjoys your videos. Can’t wait to see your new adventures with Lars.
Oh my goodness . . . I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the build! It's truly a home on wheels! The upright fridge! The sink! The oven! The storage! The deck! I'm just so happy for you and Lars! What an upgrade in comfort and convenience for you both. God is SO good! I'd love to see a reaction visit to show the woman who blessed you with the van how much love you've put into it. I can't imagine how grateful she'll be to see how much new life the van will see from its former state in this new chapter. You deserve this. I'm tearing up with joy! Can't wait to come along with you in this new season.
Mateo, you are such a blessed young man. For that lady to gift you a van says a lot about your character and her heart. I pray that Gossimer will take you and Lars on many, many journeys. 🙏🏾 I'm here for the ride regardless of where you decide to go. YAYYY! 🎉❤
This video gives me the vibes from your older videos when you'd go Walmart and get water and groceries. I love that! Also, the van looks much more organised and homey. Congratulations on the van coming together Mateo. 🐈⬛♥
While you were talking I was peeping around noticing the background and I was happy with the results. You my friend are a carpenter and don't realize how talented you are! Lars has such a great dad❤ I'm so proud of you!
He does have a cozy looking face 😁 you are both correct. His personality is what makes him a real catch tho!!!! Better get him now! Only one Mateo! 😂 Haha
Mateo just a heads up, you should have your propane tank in a air tight box with floor vent as propane is heavier than air. Tanks are notorious to leak a little bit and especially with lars may be a good idea . Just my .02
Mateo, you have turned your van into an amazing space, and I'm shocked at how little time it took you! You are making a wonderful home and life for you and Lars!
Oh and I love the hammered copper sink!!! Its all come together into an awesome cabin on wheels...Lars is so sweet its obvious he loves his Daddyman...❤❤
My husband is a chef and he made the menu at a restaurant the bistro he opened and the one thing everyone went crazy for was his blackberry grill cheese. That grill cheese made me so hungry. Love your videos. Keep up the great work!
Mateo! My husband and I stumbled upon your channel while we are living here in Bangkok, Thailand. You make us happy just seeing you and Lars and your Positive Energy and LIGHT ✨🌟🌈🦋 We Both subscribed to your channel and we just want to say, CONGRATULATIONS on your new Van build!! How Exciting and it's SOOOO Amazing!! Tracy and Ray xxx
Just such an expressive face Lars made when you showed him what you did for his birthday -- an entire van conversion !! Impressed with Dads skills and dedication.We agree Sensational!!!
@winterisblu, we try new grilled cheese recipes at our house, too. I was just telling your sister in her live today that I want a parents reveal. You guys are so sweet, humble, and have a very eclectic palette. I absolutely love it! Give Lars neck scratches for me.
The van is looking great and so much more comfortable and nicer for you and Lars!!! Best of all you proved to yourself that you can do what you set your mind to 🎉❤
Last spring at 47 years old I did my first solo car camping road trip in my small SUV! 2 months cross country! I loved it. If you are ever near southern NM, you have a place to park!
Dude! MATEO! I am SO happy for you man!!! This is incredible! I bet you are just on cloud 9. I've been following you for a while now, your Astro travels got me through a really hard time grieving the loss of a loved one. I couldn't get off the couch but I traveled vicariously through you sharing your journey. To see you get this van as a gift, and see it come together...knowing you are doing all of it yourself, I can't help but feel so proud of how far you've come and what you have accomplished in such a short time. Couldn't have happened to a better guy. You deserve to enjoy this and all the blessings to come. Congrats on your new home. I am LOVING this! You continue to inspire and leave a mark on so many.
I’d like to say Mateo, I enjoyed today’s video, I love how u love ur furbaby & relate with him. I also love the simplicity of ur build. It looks simply comfortable, homey, & clean. I hope u safely enjoy ur motor home for many years to come. Nice job💜❤️💙🩵🧡💛😸👍🐈
The sundown towns still exist Big time, Mateo. Please look them up before you do your travel plans. Want you in Lars to be safe and enjoy your travels!!
I really like how you fixed up your van. It’s looking so good and you did it yourself. That’s an accomplishment! You should be proud. I also like the meals you make. They’re original and not your everyday basic meals. It’s comforting sitting here watching you and Lars.
I literally started binge watching your channel 2 weeks ago, I started all the way from the beginning (don’t judge me lol) this van build has been my favorite part to watch!!! Great job 👏🏽 🫶🏽 ps: make sure you sanitize your space/counters with Lars jumping around, those paws are on the ground and in the kitty litter box & lastly, if you cover your skillet it will help melt the cheese all the way 😄
Mateo, I have been watching and thoroughly enjoying your Van Life experience! All I can say is....WOW!!!!!!!!!! You are BRILLIANT! You have brought me such tranquility at a time in my life where I'm struggling more than ever. When I watch your resilience and feel your good spirit vibes, I take it all in like a cold glass of water on a hot day. And I absolutely LOVE Lars! He is so precious, and it does my heart good to see how much you care for him. It is incredible how you've transformed the new van into such an inviting and cozy space. It looks amazing. I want to be there! How can I thank you? I am a poet and hope to publish a book one day. I think I'm getting some inspiration from your videos :) Thank you for all you do and thank you for being you.
So happy for you Mateo and Lars. One thing about the cat food, better quality food means less smelly poop. We have put our cat on a more natural, less processed diet (he has diabetes) and the litter box is alot less stinky. It is so much better for them. Regarding treats, be very careful because they are high in carbs and not good for Lars. My cat loves the dried chicken, minnows "aka kitty crack" and lamb treats. Keep doing you!!!
OK! He built out the Van we saw him do it, it was fun watching that's obviously not enough entertainment for you, you have more suggestions/ demands......Get your own life, get out the house off the couch and Live, he can't live for you, he's living off of you getting to where he needs to be in his life, and I can't blame him.....
Hey Mateo! On minute 8:00, noticed some dripping of water behind you to your left. You might want to check that out. Cheers man!! Wish you all the best 😊
I noticed that too. Right by his pillows. Hope it’s doesn’t leak too bad when there is heavy rain. Also the lack of insulation has me worried for both him and Lars.
It was an immediate follow! I love how excited and grateful you are while standing in your van and just being proud of what you have done. The energy was implacable. Wish you and Lars a lot of fun in your finished van 🫂💗 can’t wait for the next video
Please consider getting a couple of cans of moist cat food for Lars. Some kitties don't drink enough fluids and develop bowl issues. If you feed them a combination moist and dry food, the issue is avoided. Also, Churros cat treats are amazing, healthy, and provide kitties with extra hydration. Love your videos!
Exactly , core wet cat food from amazon is really good per my Vet. Also Buffalo dry food has a variety. Not to sure about the Purnia brand. I feel its worth the investment for their overall health. 😊
@@kellyprobst3533 In my humble experience, some cat do, some cats don't. My Nor, who passed on 5/14/24. only drank from her bowl so she had a mixing bowl for her water. God forbid it got empty. She also never ate off the floor and refused to eat human food.
The love you have for Lars makes my heart 💓! I'm sure he also appreciated your one on one time, vs. birthday vlog (though I am not at all opposed to an all Lars video in the future! 😻)
Wouldve liked a bit of a tour of the van build, but I guess as long as it meets your needs. Just wouldve been nice to check out your oven and how you are powering everything and the fab cabinet behind the drivers seat. come on now dont be shy!! Mems Journeys Aotearoa NZ
Yeah this is an important part of watching the channel for advice n to see all the content start to finish at least a time lapse would've been sufficient. Proof he definitely did it himself too or give props to who did like nomadic introvert did. What content creator doesn't show everything??
Hello, watching your video of your roof deck.You need to weather proof with varnish & Stain. Proud of your efforts. Keep up the work &stay safe. There is nothing like a peace of Mind. Don't over do yourself. God bless!
I love what you did with the place! I wish I could have seen more of it. It's awesome that you can stand up INSIDE to cook, congratulations🎉(don't forget the carbon monoxide monitor/alarm) You did a great job of building your new, giant, nomad home on wheels! If you did a show and tell video I must not have been notified😔. I'm dying to know where you got that stove/oven combo! Please put a link in your next vid if you can. You are an amazing guy learning as you go how to do it right. So thoughtful of your best buddy, Lars, too. He really has it made in the shade🏖️😄 I'm really looking forward to seeing your next adventures! I love the way you are so free and seem carefree no matter what happens, it's so refreshing. There's so much negatitvity out here about nomad life, sure, you run into problems, but so do people in sticks and bricks! You have a good head on your shoulders and if you keep a reserve emergency fund, you'll be fine. You did such a great job I may have to bribe you to come and fix my van up😉...😂
Happy Sunday, Mateo and Lars! I’ve been waiting for this big moment to see your brand new refurbished home on wheels! So excited! You’re such a great cat dad to Lars! ❤❤❤❤❤
Next year for Lar's birthday, check out the cat hammocks that fasten to windows, a stick on bird feeder for the outside of a window, or my cats' favorite, cat tents for when you go to a place where you hang outside. The tents fold up small, and I have collapsible tunnels, toys and scratch pads for the cats to have "recess" while I hang out in the campsite with the dog. Great videos, been binge watching for hours now. Thank you for sharing your journey. Liked and subbed 💙😊
If you wanna try another grilled cheese with jam, here's a sandwich we used to make at a gastropub I worked at Sourdough bread Braised, pulled beef Shortrib (nothing too crazy or intricate here, just a simple braise with flavors you wanna go with) Sharp cheddar Jalapeno and peach jam Pickled red onions And this wasn't how it went out to the guest, but the cooks also liked to dip this sandwich in our house aioli, which was just a garlic and Sriracha mayo
I just found your channel and I just want to say thank you for sharing your journey, you are such a bright light in a dark world, you are amazing, and I hope you have a beautiful life on your wanderlustful life, much love XO
I’m actually surprised you don’t raise your bed up a little more so you can fit bins of equipment or clothes or other stuff under your bed, you have so much head room ❤️❤️❤️ but still a great job on your build!
Make sure you have a spare!!! Water , sunblock, generator and first-aid kit. So exciting your ready to go and explore. Cant wait to see the next adventure. Van is.looking spectacular!!! Safe travels.
did i miss the vid of the build? great retro fridge n copper sink tho where u gonna sit at to do ur music? insulation too for top for heat n snow.. love the roof deck n your music is awesome!
Lars reminds me of my beautiful Cole Lee. Cole Lee is sweetly and peacefully napping next to me as kitties like to do. Great video 💚🐈⬛🖤💚🐾💕. Love the van build!
I was watching so intensely- then you said smells like a jimmy dean sausage. I’m not gonna eat it 😂😂 oh boy. I’ve been looking forward to this video. I refreshed Thursday a gazillion times! I’m super happy for you!!💙💙💙
You never made the ASTRO look anything but a joy, that's your personality, a joy. With this van that you've outfitted so nicely, I cannot wait to see all of your adventures with your buddy, Lars! You do so much cooking of amazing looking food, have you ever thought of doing a van life cookbook? The grilled cheese you made on this was a combination that I would never have thought of. You're a creative chef!
You know the thing I most admire about you, brother?
You seem FREE.
I know life has its ups and downs with so many of us are tied to a cubicle etc. Thank you for letting us in your life. You’re a good dude.
So well said. Could not agree more
Your post is chef's kiss 💋

Haha much appreciated!!! Hopefully it was worth the wait!!
I do the same thing !! Mateo and Lars is the best channel on RUclips !!!
Mateo along with Big Nugget are top tubers for sure!!💯
Which I found about Big Nugget on one of mateos previous videos...hope they can do a collab!!🙌🏼
Right❤😂
Mateo don’t forget to ventilate while you’re cooking especially if you’re stove is propane. Also get a propane detector. Safety first 😊
Oh ya, forgot about that.
Yes! I had the max fan on
It works wonders!
Your kitchen set up is fantastic. You’ve done a phenomenal job on the build out Mateo. So proud of you. That’s from a 73-year-old grandma who really enjoys your videos. Can’t wait to see your new adventures with Lars.
I was about to say the same thing. I absolutely love the kitchen especially the sink.
Thank you so much for tuning in!!
You killed it with the van build.. It looks very roomy. Keep it up bro and take care.
I need an internet nana too!!!😢🙏🙏🙏 I miss my nana!!
Clean, minimalist build🔥🔥🔥
Oh my goodness . . . I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the build! It's truly a home on wheels! The upright fridge! The sink! The oven! The storage! The deck! I'm just so happy for you and Lars!

Now that you've said it, I realize how cool a reaction video would be and I hope to see one. I have a feeling she'd love seeing it in person
Don't forget that carbon monoxide detector. Congrats on the build 👏
Thanks for mentioning that! It crossed my mind and caused me concern ❤
Two things I loved immediately: Lars and the fridge. 😂
I absolutely love your personality & your videos. Thank you so much for allowing this old lady to live vicariously through you.
Thank you so much!
I love that you are so health conscious with your cooking and feeding Lars. Really love watching your adventures.
As he rubs half a stick of butter into a single sandwich 😂.. why can't people just be real dam..
Mateo I feel like a PROUD Mom. You have done an AMAZING JOB! I love your Kitchen and that you have a REAL fridge.
Aww you are such a good cat dad. Lars is the absolute cutest!
The excitement of standing up just shows how humble you are! I look forward to these videos cause of how uplifting you truly are! Much love bro!
Why am I crying tears of joy for you and Lars? Sweetie you did a wonderful job. May TMH continue to be with you. Beautiful spirit!
Thank you SO MUCH!! ❤️
If you add wind deflectors to the front doors you'll be able to leave the windows open an inch or so even if it's raining. Game changer.
I'm so happy for your and Lars to have a nice larger home. You did a good job for someone not knowing what he's doing! Take Care.
U should put a fold out table for eating right in that nook between the bed and fridge or put an extender under the sink that comes out
Mateo, you are such a blessed young man. For that lady to gift you a van says a lot about your character and her heart. I pray that Gossimer will take you and Lars on many, many journeys. 🙏🏾 I'm here for the ride regardless of where you decide to go. YAYYY! 🎉❤
Me too!😊
I love how you got an old school fridge like the one you loved in the Tiny House
You are such a humble human your smile lights up my sole!!!! There needs to be way more people like you on this earth!!!
This video gives me the vibes from your older videos when you'd go Walmart and get water and groceries. I love that! Also, the van looks much more organised and homey. Congratulations on the van coming together Mateo. 🐈⬛♥
While you were talking I was peeping around noticing the background and I was happy with the results. You my friend are a carpenter and don't realize how talented you are! Lars has such a great dad❤ I'm so proud of you!
You need your eyes checked 😂.. I mean everything is covered enough, but far from a carpenter
All u needed was a helping hand and you went in. Let us know how the gift giver reacted when she saw how you made the van SHINE?
Mateo your smile 😃 is so contagious ❤ I love watching you and Lars 🐈⬛. Keep shining bright Mateo. You are such an inspiration ☮️💟
He’s so precious ❤
He does have a cozy looking face 😁 you are both correct. His personality is what makes him a real catch tho!!!! Better get him now! Only one Mateo! 😂 Haha
You're heading toward Life, Freedom and Adventure. Enjoy the trip!!! Be safe...
Mateo just a heads up, you should have your propane tank in a air tight box with floor vent as propane is heavier than air. Tanks are notorious to leak a little bit and especially with lars may be a good idea . Just my .02
I love how much he loves Lars
Me too...
Not to scare you, but watch electric blanket and pad closely that it does not malfunction and get too hot for kitty.
That little fridge freezer is the bomb!
Mateo, you have turned your van into an amazing space, and I'm shocked at how little time it took you! You are making a wonderful home and life for you and Lars!
Thanks so much!
Oh and I love the hammered copper sink!!! Its all come together into an awesome cabin on wheels...Lars is so sweet its obvious he loves his Daddyman...❤❤
I've decided at 64 to vicariously go along with you and your cat on your journey across America 🤫❤❤✌️🕊🕊✌️🇬🇧🇯🇲
My husband is a chef and he made the menu at a restaurant the bistro he opened and the one thing everyone went crazy for was his blackberry grill cheese. That grill cheese made me so hungry. Love your videos. Keep up the great work!
That sounds amazing!😊
Mateo's grilled cheese was so creative! I am craving fig marmalade. LOL And I've never had it either! Your husband's sandwich sounds equally yummy!
Mateo! My husband and I stumbled upon your channel while we are living here in Bangkok, Thailand. You make us happy just seeing you and Lars and your Positive Energy and LIGHT ✨🌟🌈🦋 We Both subscribed to your channel and we just want to say, CONGRATULATIONS on your new Van build!! How Exciting and it's SOOOO Amazing!! Tracy and Ray xxx
Thank you!!
I love the way you care for Lars he is truly blessed ❤ Happy Birthday Lars.
Lars was looking like Wow!Our new Home.😊It looks Nice. 👍❤❤
Your home is looking good, hope you insulated well so it doesn't get too hot or too cold. Enjoy!
That's what I feeed my cats too! Small world. The van is beautiful!
Yo! I recommend air tight containers for open food. Just had to fight off thousands of ants in my van
You and your cat are such a joy to watch. 🙏🏼😇
Just such an expressive face Lars made when
you showed him what you did for his birthday -- an entire van conversion !!
Impressed with Dads skills and dedication.We agree Sensational!!!
Thanks for being braver than me & sharing bits of your run at freedom.

I ran and almost tripped to watch this video!! So exciting to see the final fruit of your labor with this new van!!
Haha don’t hurt yourself!! Hope you enjoyed!!
We found ourselves staying in Rhode Island to escape the heat in the Van! And it’s beautiful here, amazing food too ☺️
Mateo if you take Route 66, please be careful of “sun down” towns! Nomadic Introvert did mention this in a later video. 🫶🏾🙏🏽🫶🏾🙏🏽🫶🏾🙏🏽
You’re telling me that in2024 there are still sundown spots? How prehistoric.
The sundown towns still exist Big time, Mateo. Please look them up before you do your travel plans. Want you in Lars to be safe and enjoy your travels!!

@@lindascott4777 Amen! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@cynthiathompson3780 I did a little research and found that Anna Illinois is also considered a sundown area as well and I live in Illinois.
You should be promoting your music more with this channel and tiktok, etc. You have such a cool story and the music talent is there. Good luck!

Great to see you and Lars. You're doing great with the rebuild. Much love and blessings sent to you. 💕
Uh no. NI is not social and Mateo is. Traveling is the only thing they have in common.

Mateo has added coconut water to Lars food in multiple videos. So, Lars should not be developing an BD or kidney stone issues hopefully EVER!
I’ve had cats my entire life . They drink bowls of water a day , drink out of the toilet and sink when we start running the faucet

Great videos, been binge watching for hours now. Thank you for sharing your journey. Liked and subbed 💙😊
I’ve been waiting for this 😂❤ I’m still searching for my perfect van. 5+ years later lol CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉🎈🍾
Really like this. Lots of room to move around. Looks big.
I love your new van . I'm happy for you and Lars. You're able to cook and have a sink and fridge and sleep comfortably. GOD BLESS
If you wanna try another grilled cheese with jam, here's a sandwich we used to make at a gastropub I worked at
Sourdough bread
Braised, pulled beef Shortrib (nothing too crazy or intricate here, just a simple braise with flavors you wanna go with)
Sharp cheddar
Jalapeno and peach jam
Pickled red onions
And this wasn't how it went out to the guest, but the cooks also liked to dip this sandwich in our house aioli, which was just a garlic and Sriracha mayo
I'm so glad you can stand up in your new home. I am so very happy for you.
You did a great job! The fact that you can stand up is amazing.
Looking forward to you new adventures. You always have such a positive vibe about you in your videos.
I look forward to Sunday videos of Mateo and Lars. You have done an incredible job on the van build.

I’m actually surprised you don’t raise your bed up a little more so you can fit bins of equipment or clothes or other stuff under your bed, you have so much head room ❤️❤️❤️ but still a great job on your build!
Make sure you have a spare!!! Water , sunblock, generator and first-aid kit. So exciting your ready to go and explore. Cant wait to see the next adventure. Van is.looking spectacular!!! Safe travels.

You never made the ASTRO look anything but a joy, that's your personality, a joy. With this van that you've outfitted so nicely, I cannot wait to see all of your adventures with your buddy, Lars!
You do so much cooking of amazing looking food, have you ever thought of doing a van life cookbook? The grilled cheese you made on this was a combination that I would never have thought of. You're a creative chef!
