No disrespect to Adam but this was one of your best videos. What an adventure! Congrats, Heidi! It was clearly a challenge for you but you did it. WTG! There were also many touching emotional moments where you made us cry too but now we know you a little better. You guys are going to have a tough time topping this video. Loved it!
Hi Gary! I’m so happy to hear that! It was one emotional roller coaster wasn’t it! Thanks for being here and experiencing this with me. Have a wonderful day!
You guys make some of the best travel videos. The content peaked my interest, the PUNS drew me in, but your genuineness, vulnerability and personal connections are what keep me watching. Kudos!
I usually don’t comment on RUclips videos 🙃 but watching your video really touched my heart and in a sense I related to you, plus I cried along with you. I loved how you were so transparent about your panic attack and how challenging this adventure was, yet you still had the courage to fight those fears and to persevere. I,too, suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, and it’s precisely those darn fears that occasionally hold me back in enjoying my life. I lost my mom several years ago and my doggy a couple of weeks ago and this video reminded me so much of them, and how much I would love to do something like this in dedication to them. What you did, taking your sister with you was beautiful and inspiring. I’m so proud of you! You are definitely a warrior girl 💪🏽. Your videos are so fun to watch, you and Adam are adorable 😊! Blessings to the both of you ❤
Hi Candy. I’m so glad this touched your heart. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us too. I hope when those moments come you can think of me and push through. You are stronger than you know!
Que video tan hermoso y gracias por tener ese bello momento con tu hermana en nuestro pais ... y no dudes que parte de ella quedo en esta tierra tan Bendecida ... y que siempre podras saber que en Guatemala tendras un lugar especial en que podras volver a venir ... Saludos y mil Gracias por compartir al mundo lo bello que es Guatemala...❤🇬🇹🇬🇹❤
Wow Heidi! You had all of us (Taylor, Laura and me) crying when you were on the top of the mountain. That was a very magical and emotional video! We are so proud you made it to the top and shared it with us!!
Watching your experience is so touching, I actually did this hiking back in 2018, a day before my 28th birthday. I was going through huge depression, during the last 300 meters to reach Acatenango’s summit I had a panic attack, someone I met on the hiking group encouraged me to push throug and making it to summit and watching the sun rise, healed my heart, such a unique experience. Hope everyone gets to do this hike ❤
Heidi que bonitas palabras para tu hermana, me hiciste llorar 😢, te felicito por tu logro 👏 nunca te rendiste y eso te hace una mujer poderosa 💪🏻 muchas felicidades
Heidi you had my wife and I both in tears, We have been watching and using you guys to guide us through our journey in Mexico. I remember about 2 years ago my wife found you guys on RUclips and I was calling you the smiling guy’s, and you grew on me. We were just saying of all the people we follow you two are the ones we would like to sit down with and have lunch and hang out. Seeing you tear up climbing the mountain hit us hard because we have been traveling for 6 months,we miss our families and friends especially when your out on your own without your partner you feel lost and alone. That’s me barely know Spanish asking myself what am I doing here? Stay strong Adam give her a good massage…Safe Travels
Aww 🥰 we would love that too! Nice lunch and good laughs sounds great! It is quite a sacrifice living this life. Missing friends and family is the hardest part. But it just makes the time you spend together so much more special!
Un Ángel como tu hermana y sus cenizas quedan en lo más alto de Guatemala, que bonito momento! Tu hermana debe de estar alegre y siempre contigo! Muy emotivo momento!
Thank you, Heidi for taking us along on your great adventure. The views were fantastic 👏!!! I am proud of you and your perseverance. You gave a fine tribute to your sister, Heather. Adam, kudos for supporting Heidi in her moment of excellence. Although you couldn't be with her physically, we both supported her in spirit along her journey.
You guys rock! Guatemala is such a beautiful country! Heidi are so adorable and passionate. What an experience to share. The whole hike was so personal and your positive message was well received! Thank you for what you guys do. Its amazing!
I cannot believe that view! Above the clouds looked like you were in another world! And what a trek up! you are a warrior girl! Adam you are one lucky guy!
I love all the positive vibes you put out in this video Heidi. I was crying with you and what a beautiful share about your sister. Thank you for making me feel like part of your family! You really make me feel like I am there! I am always so excited for next week with you both. See you Soon Country Collectors!
Ame cada minuto de este video , una gran lección de vida , la ofrenda de amor que dejaste en lo más alto es maravilloso Guatemala está en tu corazón por siempre al igual que tú hermana está contigo.
Absolutely amazing Heidi. What a climb! Your explanation of the symbolism of the climb in comparison with with life was so touching. ❤️. Bringing your sister with you and sprinkling her ashes at the top had me sobbing. This was such an incredible gesture. I felt every minute of that with you. ♥️. Thank you so much for bringing us along on such an amazing, emotional adventure.
I’m so glad you could virtually join me! I always think of you and Rob when I experience things like this with my sister. Sending lots of love your way!
@@TheCountryCollectors Rob and I climbed El Castillo at Coba together in Mexico. It was nowhere close to this climb but it’s a memory I hold in my heart because we did it together. If I ever go back, I think I will do the same as you and spread some of his ashes there. ❤️
Words can’t describe how i felt when I was watching this video, it’s so wholesome, made me cry and it’s just…. Your act of kindness when leaving the ashes up there, God, this video is beautiful and informative. I’m planing to go in November and Ive been watching tons of beautiful and unique videos but they don’t compare to yours. I usually don’t comment on videos but yours deserves it. I loved how you friendly were greeting local people in Spanish, sooooo kind and beautiful.
Congratulations from Argentina,what a beautiful experience. I'm planing to go to Antigua next month and after seeing your video i made a decision to do this beautiful hike.
Congratulations Heidi and thank you for sharing this wonderful experience!! I hope you are filled with joy and peace. You have truly touched my heart with your honesty, bravery and willingness to share this healing journey. Sending lots of love and prayers ❤️🥰🙏
Hi Heidi, this was such a touching episode. As many others have mentioned, I also got teary eyed. 😢 These are the stories that stay with us forever. One of the best videos I’ve seen from many travelers. I am from Guatemala and been living in the States for the last forty years and when I see videos like yours make me realize how much I love my country.
Thank you for taking us on this journey. I hike but being 76 years old I think I will just enjoy what you gave me. I am so happy for you and you were able to spread some of your sisters ashes in that special place. Semper Fi.
I’m so proud of you for doing such a hard but rewarding adventure… very spiritual and I hope a little healing for you. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. We are sending you big hugs.
What a beautiful beautiful video. ❤️ Your sister was with you on your journey and is with you always. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with all of us.
I wouldn't be able to do this hike at this stage in my life, so thank you for pressing through and taking us with you! What stunning views, the volcano shots are amazing! Your sister would be proud of you. You're right, fear keeps people from doing so many incredible things. You and Adam will look back and be very happy you got out there, took chances, and experienced the world. I'm heading to Zacatlán in April because of your video, so keep on keeping on!
This video made me want to go even more to Antigua and up this mountain and I found a great small business to support also. I have to admit at the end was really hard and made me tear up but, I am glad you did that for your sister. Thank you for the aspiring video
Its great how you took us right from the start. I could really feel the excitement and anticipation. This is defiantly going on my list and what a great attitude with all that gratitude! you rock GIRL!
Ese sentimiento no se percibe en cualquier lugar 28:39 & en Goathemala nos complace saber qué elegiste esta tierra & compartirla con tu finada hermana todo el país en si es muy amable & cuando te vas es como que algo de ti se quedará ahí literal 🌒
What a wonderful video! I really needed to hear the no fear pep talk and then the tribute to your sister was so special. Thank you so much for sharing !
You are so awesome! Thank you for being brave to challenge your fears! Thank you for being brave to show your vulnerability and love for your sister! You inspire me!
Me alegra tanto que hayas vivido esa hermosa experiencia en mi bello país; ¡eres una mujer muy fuerte! Me conmovió el momento en que mencionaste lo de tu hermana y el gesto que tuviste con parte de sus cenizas. Hiciste que reflexionara al respecto de no rendirme ni renunciar a mis metas y sueños. Me encantan sus videos. ¡Welcome to Guatemala, corazón del Mundo Maya! 🫶🏼😊
Gracias por compartir las cenizas de tu hermanita con Guatemala y su bella naturaleza ! Dios los bendiga siempre! Guatemala Siempre estará contigo! Abrazos amiga!
Over the last few months, my wife and I have watched nearly all of your Mexican videos. We just love your passion for travel, Mexico, the people and now your journey through Guatemala. You always have managed to touch me with your humanity and your obvious love for what your do. This episode, had me in tears. From the moment you thanked the mother of the guide for a fantastic meal, to your awe of the scenery, the difficulties you conquered, to sharing the loss and love of your sister, and everything else, this video touched me like no other. Thank you, it was inspiring. We hope to follow in your footsteps. Love the both of you.
Difficult to see what I'm typing through the tears. Such a touching tribute to your sister. You are a very special human being, Heidi. Adam is one lucky guy.
Congratulations Heidi! Was getting very emotional with you. Your sister is sooooo proud of you! ❤ I wouldn't be able to do this hike, my last bigger one is a couple years ago, I'd need to train first. Plus the altitude, I'm a bit like Adam when it comes to that. So thank you for taking us along with you!! Those volcano eruptions were amazing.
Hi Jana! Thank you for joining me! I appreciate you being here. Yes it was very difficult and then dealing with the altitude… so hard. If I had time I would have trained for it for sure!
Awe, I'm still crying as I read these loving comments. Heidi, what a beautiful video you made, and so emotional. I lost my father way too early, then my brother and mother and this made me think so much of them. Your vulnerability and authenticity touched me deeply, thank you for sharing your heart with us. What a beautiful soul you have, and Adam is such a loving and supportive partner. Fabulous, heart-opening, emotional video. Thank you! ❤️
Aww Judes. I am so saddened to hear that. Those loses are monumental and I can imagine how hard it has been for you. I hope that you have found peace and are healing. They are always with you. ✨🙏 Thanks for sharing this with me.
Hola Amigos, only to things to say..... I really missed Adam , and second , what a beautiful Soul it's Heidi , showing her vulnerability and facing fear like no other, a great inspiration... keep safe UN GRAN ABRAZO !!
Such an amazing video & experience Heidi! Definitely made us tear up a little when you spread your sisters ashes, you couldn't have chosen a better place to pay tribute to her. Thanks for sharing that moment with us!
I just completed the hike up to Acatenango and Fuego last week and I can attest to it being the toughest thing I’ever done! The steepness and how fast you have to ascend to get to base camp is what makes it difficult. But seeing the eruptions up close at Fuego and then the views in Acatenango made it all worth it. Great job at illustrating all of the emotions you feel while up there!
Many other videos stand out like the puerto escondido video, but this one is up there with our favorite videos of you guys. Incredible job Heidi! So proud of you. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment and amazing video with us. 💗
Sprinkling your sister’s ashes the most beautiful thing to do. Had me in tears. Everything just beautiful. Hoping to do that hike especially after watching your video. Thank you.
Heidi, your sister would’ve been extremely proud of you for hiking up and down that mountain. Thank you for sharing that precious moment with us. Had tears in my eyes and got pretty emotional just watching you. God bless you Heidi. 🙏🏼
Que hermoso video, que hermosa vibra y que lindo detalle y lloré contigo con el homenaje a tu hermana. Un abrazo! y que gusto que estén en estas tierras guatemaltecas.
I am amazed by your courage and the beauty that surrounded you going up and down the mountain, which you so kindly shared with us. I have no doubts that your sister will cherish these last moments with you for eternity, until you are united again. LOVE lives forever. Very humbled that you made us part of this precious, unique and unforgettable experience. God bless!! 💜💜💜
Awesome Awesome Awesome.. your love comes through so much. Awesome representation from both you and Adam of our beautiful Guatemala.. Dios te bendiga ❤️🙏🏽❤️
@@TheCountryCollectors I have an amazing view from my bedroom window of Fuego and will think of your sister often... her energy lives on.. come visit us next time you and Adam make it to Antigua ❤️
My daughter is currently doing this hike today. For her it will be a huge challenge, but watching your video it will undoubtedly be an aventure that she will keep precious memories of. Thank you for sharing this!
@@TheCountryCollectors It was very hard, she didn't take the sherpa service and so she had to climb with a backpack of about 75 pounds ! (she had taken with her 2 times too much water). She would have liked to leave her luggage with the sherpas but had not taken enough money with her. At the base camp she decided not to go to the Fuego because she was exhausted. But when she came back, she was very proud of herself but if she had to do it again, her advice would be to take the sherpa because it is worth every dollar.
You two are my fav seriously ! My husband and I are heading to Mexico next month and we always mention how rad it would be to have dinner with you two haha ! Good job girly for climbing that mountain 🏔️ what an accomplishment 🎉
Congratulations Heidi.. what amazing video. One of my daughter and I’s favourite. My daughter is 5.. her and I watch your guys videos before bedtime. She loves them. She said daddy I want you and mamma to take me there to see the volcano and the lava! High five again on your accomplishment
What an amazing experience! The atmosphere must have been overwhelming seeing and hearing that volcano going off. Very brave of you to have done this on your own. I remember when I was 16 I hiked up and down the Grand Canyon with 5 other girls and 2 teachers in a day (24 miles round trip) and I felt like every bone in my body was broken the next morning and my feet were bloody. But I can't imagine doing something like that with such high altitude too. Almost nothing will seem like an obstacle to you now after having accomplished that. Congrats! 🍾🥂
Lloré con tigo ❤. Que bello video . Ayer fui al volcán y no pude ver nada por el mal clima . Pero por lo menos vi esas bellas vistas en tu video . Muchas gracias
Heidi, I watched your video about staying with family. It seems this journey up volcán de fuego was an awakening which may have led to your decision. Guatemala is a magical and spiritual place . I’m glad you were able to have this experience in my birth place. Blessings to you always ❤🇬🇹
Beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing. I have loved watching your travels through Mexico. I have been wanting to learn to sail and one of your videos inspired me to drag my family, husband and twin 12 year old boys, to La Paz. I found a captain and we leave this Friday for 10 days to learn to sail. And there are so many other places that I now want to visit in MX as well. You have opened my eyes to that amazing country.
Wonderful gesture Heidi, about your sister ashes, i couldn't help but to share a tear with you as well and for your sister. Good luck, i appreciate you two showing all this wonderful part of my country, Love you both. Jose Recinos, I live in Canada 40 years, from Huehuetenango, Guatemala.
Wow Heidi the most impressive part when you let go of your beautiful Sister and now forever she will be another guardian along with the guide guys of the volcano, brought my tears out cause we all will always have someone we love and lost that was beautiful you gave part of you and part of your sister that freedom in heaven that volcano will forever be a special place for you your sister and your family, youre will always be welcome to Guatemala, and always bring beautiful flowers to your sister thank you so much for being in my beautiful Guatemala
I had never been near to any volcano, active or passive. This was just fantastic. The view of clouds was simply outstanding and so was the fumes coming out from Volcano.
Hey there again! Super wow!!!! The authenticity you both bring to you channel is from another planet! This Video definitely deserves an Award! Me being from this country really never seen a video with captures you got on this video! Amazing job! Once again i am eternally Thankful for showing my beautiful country on the map! My Heart was touched liked everyone else when u made the gesture about your sister Heather!! Definitely she was with you!!! Be super proud Heidi!!! Un abrazo from a stranger to a friend!!! Blessings!!!

Hi Alex. 😭 Aww thank you! I cry every time I watch it again. It was very healing! Thanks for joining me!
Those night time eruption shots were just amazing Heidi! WTG!
Thanks so much!!
Best outdoor adventure worldwide, Guatemala Rocks indeed! Amazing trip!
Couldn't agree more!
Congratulations Heidi! Was getting very emotional with you. Your sister is sooooo proud of you! ❤ I wouldn't be able to do this hike, my last bigger one is a couple years ago, I'd need to train first. Plus the altitude, I'm a bit like Adam when it comes to that. So thank you for taking us along with you!! Those volcano eruptions were amazing.
Hi Jana! Thank you for joining me! I appreciate you being here. Yes it was very difficult and then dealing with the altitude… so hard. If I had time I would have trained for it for sure!
WHAT A JOURNEY TO SHARE WITH US! AMAZING!
Awe, I'm still crying as I read these loving comments. Heidi, what a beautiful video you made, and so emotional. I lost my father way too early, then my brother and mother and this made me think so much of them. Your vulnerability and authenticity touched me deeply, thank you for sharing your heart with us. What a beautiful soul you have, and Adam is such a loving and supportive partner. Fabulous, heart-opening, emotional video. Thank you! ❤️
Aww Judes. I am so saddened to hear that. Those loses are monumental and I can imagine how hard it has been for you. I hope that you have found peace and are healing. They are always with you. ✨🙏 Thanks for sharing this with me.
What a cool and fun adventure… cannot wait
We hope you enjoy it!
@@TheCountryCollectors loooovvveeeddd it
Hola Amigos, only to things to say..... I really missed Adam , and second , what a beautiful Soul it's Heidi , showing her vulnerability and facing fear like no other, a great inspiration... keep safe
UN GRAN ABRAZO !!
😊 thank you Alex!!
Such an amazing video & experience Heidi! Definitely made us tear up a little when you spread your sisters ashes, you couldn't have chosen a better place to pay tribute to her. Thanks for sharing that moment with us!
I am so happy I got to share this with you! Thank you.
You are a BA Heidi! Incredible job and thank you for being so open with us and sharing yourself like that. Your sister is always with you.
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for sharing these special moments with us! Big hug!!
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for being here!
I just completed the hike up to Acatenango and Fuego last week and I can attest to it being the toughest thing I’ever done! The steepness and how fast you have to ascend to get to base camp is what makes it difficult. But seeing the eruptions up close at Fuego and then the views in Acatenango made it all worth it. Great job at illustrating all of the emotions you feel while up there!
Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏
Im in tears , what a beautiful country and awesome place to share with your sister
🙏❤️😊
Thank you Heidi for taking us along. You remind me of my daughter, a beautiful soul full of kindness and love
Aww 🥰 thank you!
Many other videos stand out like the puerto escondido video, but this one is up there with our favorite videos of you guys.
Incredible job Heidi! So proud of you. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment and amazing video with us. 💗
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for being here!
Sprinkling your sister’s ashes the most beautiful thing to do. Had me in tears. Everything just beautiful. Hoping to do that hike especially after watching your video. Thank you.
🙏❤️
Heidi, your sister would’ve been extremely proud of you for hiking up and down that mountain. Thank you for sharing that precious moment with us. Had tears in my eyes and got pretty emotional just watching you. God bless you Heidi. 🙏🏼
Thanks for joining me!
Good morning! Happy Sunday Funday!
Good morning ☀️
Que hermoso video, que hermosa vibra y que lindo detalle y lloré contigo con el homenaje a tu hermana. Un abrazo! y que gusto que estén en estas tierras guatemaltecas.
Muchas gracias Carlos! Saludos!
I am amazed by your courage and the beauty that surrounded you going up and down the mountain, which you so kindly shared with us. I have no doubts that your sister will cherish these last moments with you for eternity, until you are united again. LOVE lives forever. Very humbled that you made us part of this precious, unique and unforgettable experience. God bless!! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for joining me!
Absolutely amazing Heidi! Still sobbing here. A million warm hugs. Wonderful video. Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful adventure. ❤️
Aww Dale! ❤️🩹 It was a very healing journey. Thanks for joining me!
Wow Heidi you are a true warrior. And what a beautiful and significant way to honor your sister- brought tears ❤
Thank you so much!
Oh Heidi you got my in my feels. Such a wonderful thing to do for your sister 🙏 Great adventure, you inspire me ❤
Hi Lily! Aww 🥰 thank you for joining me on this journey!
Awesome Awesome Awesome.. your love comes through so much. Awesome representation from both you and Adam of our beautiful Guatemala.. Dios te bendiga ❤️🙏🏽❤️
Thanks so much Kevin!
@@TheCountryCollectors I have an amazing view from my bedroom window of Fuego and will think of your sister often... her energy lives on.. come visit us next time you and Adam make it to Antigua ❤️
That’s incredibly sweet of you! ❤️
You made it … so proud of you 🎉
Thank you so much!!
My daughter is currently doing this hike today. For her it will be a huge challenge, but watching your video it will undoubtedly be an aventure that she will keep precious memories of. Thank you for sharing this!
That is awesome!! Please let us know how it goes! Best of luck!!!! She can do it!
@@TheCountryCollectors It was very hard, she didn't take the sherpa service and so she had to climb with a backpack of about 75 pounds ! (she had taken with her 2 times too much water). She would have liked to leave her luggage with the sherpas but had not taken enough money with her. At the base camp she decided not to go to the Fuego because she was exhausted. But when she came back, she was very proud of herself but if she had to do it again, her advice would be to take the sherpa because it is worth every dollar.
Thanks you for sharing and for your tips! She should be proud!
You two are my fav seriously ! My husband and I are heading to Mexico next month and we always mention how rad it would be to have dinner with you two haha ! Good job girly for climbing that mountain 🏔️ what an accomplishment 🎉
Thank you so much! I appreciate you! Have a great time in Mexico!
We absolutely cannot wait !!!! Have a great day !
Congratulations Heidi.. what amazing video. One of my daughter and I’s favourite. My daughter is 5.. her and I watch your guys videos before bedtime. She loves them. She said daddy I want you and mamma to take me there to see the volcano and the lava! High five again on your accomplishment
That’s so beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Please tell her we say hello!
What an amazing experience! The atmosphere must have been overwhelming seeing and hearing that volcano going off. Very brave of you to have done this on your own. I remember when I was 16 I hiked up and down the Grand Canyon with 5 other girls and 2 teachers in a day (24 miles round trip) and I felt like every bone in my body was broken the next morning and my feet were bloody. But I can't imagine doing something like that with such high altitude too. Almost nothing will seem like an obstacle to you now after having accomplished that. Congrats! 🍾🥂
Thank you so much! Wow that sounds like a grueling experience as well. 24 miles!! 😯 thanks for sharing and for joining me!
Lloré con tigo ❤. Que bello video . Ayer fui al volcán y no pude ver nada por el mal clima . Pero por lo menos vi esas bellas vistas en tu video . Muchas gracias
You are very welcome. Sorry about the weather. How was the experience beside the weather?
Good morning Country Collectors!!!!
Morning!
hey!
Heidi, I watched your video about staying with family. It seems this journey up volcán de fuego was an awakening which may have led to your decision. Guatemala is a magical and spiritual place . I’m glad you were able to have this experience in my birth place. Blessings to you always ❤🇬🇹
🙏❤️😊
The boy on his horse, looked like he was going to school. I love that shot.
So did I! I saw some other kids his age heading out with farm tools they were going to work.
so cool! can adults take them too?
Beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing. I have loved watching your travels through Mexico. I have been wanting to learn to sail and one of your videos inspired me to drag my family, husband and twin 12 year old boys, to La Paz. I found a captain and we leave this Friday for 10 days to learn to sail. And there are so many other places that I now want to visit in MX as well. You have opened my eyes to that amazing country.
Oh my gosh that’s incredible! We love hearing that!! Have an amazing time!!
Is beautiful 🌋😍😍
🥰
Thank you for bringing me to my heart... love you❤
❤️
We appreciate your support so much!
Buenos dias!

She was so sweet! I wish I could have included a bit more video of her but they were doing construction so it was super loud!

Coming down is harder for me on the knees.
I know! It was extremely tough coming down!
oh me too!
I climbed this 2 years ago and was so unprepared, but pulled through and somehow managed to get to the top and the satisfaction was amazing.
🙏❤️

I had never been near to any volcano, active or passive. This was just fantastic. The view of clouds was simply outstanding and so was the fumes coming out from Volcano.
