Remember to always count the snowflakes ❄️ Im not sure what’s next beyond the climb - I still need to figure out 2022. I really hope this coming year is easier on us all 🙌
Hola eva Come to Colombia. Here is all good a magical country charm. The borders with Ecuador and Venezuela are open the same with Panama ... do not believe the garbage of the media about the ormicron is a false reality. To cause fear. I am also in travel plans. I live in the coffee zone of Colombia. You are welcome with your war tank
It's heartbreaking to hear of Maciej's truck, and him saying that the arsonist was acting like a "typical Pole." I hope to think that he is the typical Polish. Super kind of him and his shop for building up Odyssey as well as teaching you more about it's systems and maintenance. What a good person! :) Great video and cheers from the US.
It's really a crass divide, I have friends from there really close to my heart, the kindest people you could imagine, yet I have also met pure vile assholes from there. It's a miracle, either the one or the other, almost no grey zone of characters available.
Poles tend to be their own harshest critics. Of course, as long as the Critic is a Pole too - in other case, we immediately get really proud and defensive :D. It's a really funny quirk of ours. We very much don't even realize that, until something triggering such reaction pops up.
I'm late to the party I know but how you brought this full circle with counting snowflakes is just amazing. Your way of story telling always amazes me. Hopefully this year will bring you better luck and fortune on your adventures
I live and travel in my 4Runner and the best advice I got was to not plan ahead. Keeping my schedule open helps me avoid the dreaded “rescheduling” and all the emotions that come with it. Try it. You may like it. Peace. Thanks for the videos!!!!
Bide your time Eva, It may not be as bad as you think. Let's see what happens and maybe you can still do your journey, just a little later than planned. No rush
I feel like the content has suffered since the arrival of the truck. Show seems self-obsessed and truck-obsessed. I hope she gets back to what she does so well -- visiting faraway places and telling the stories of people she meets (not her stories of her relationships, what she had for breakfast and latest truck problems, modifications). This episode had me fast-forwarding through a lot of it.
Yes! She is such a good story teller, probably one of the best ones on youtube 🙌 If you have some time you can check out our travel vlogs and let us know what you think, only if you want to 😝
Do a Scandinavian-Baltic loop. That way you get to go and test your cold-weather gear too. ❄️🏔️ There's lots to see and explore - interesting culture and friendly people. 😃⛄
Eva, my internships in several countries have been cancelled this year and I don't know anything about next year. I totally understand you, it sucks. but you are not alone, we all feel the same and we are here for you. Love your content and I would watch anything you create.
The very best of luck in your travels. I did most of my traveling 50 years ago so now very much an armchair traveler but your adventures remind me of the good times. Stay safe and well young lady.
She's so great! Armchair Traveler that is such a good term, did you make that up? 😂🙌 If you have some time you can check out our travel vlogs and let us know what you think, only if you want to 😝
My dear Eva, do not be discouraged and alone in this situation . We all feel the limitations of travel. It’s only temporary. We have better things waiting for. Which will be far better than our own plans. We love you and will support you in whatever video you put out, just like the sweet men who generally donated their time to help you!💕🙏🏻
I hope you are right. As for Australia and Canada they are putting people in internment camps even when they test negative. This is the “ new world order coming to the rest of the world.
Fascinating videos from Eva has captivated her fans for years. I've been watching her Vlogs since her stay in PK and she gives her 100% in producing interesting new content with her honest, goofy but very friendly commentary. It has been some rough time for most of us but thanks to daring folks like Eva in keeping world interesting for rest of us.
Connect with Itchy Boots. She just restarted the exact same trip, South America to Alaska on a motorbike..She just shipped the bike (from Holland) and flew to Ecuador. Not easy to get through with all the covid restrictions.... what a pain...
I traveled to Poland a few years ago and I love that country, people, culture, history, food, architecture and around Christmas it is magical. Seems to be South America at this time is a place where a number of you tube travelers are going. Itchy Boots is doing that trip from South America to Alaska on motorcycle.
Hey Eva , as a travel creator i completely understand you... Ιn my country we say "every obstacle is for good" I am sure that something new and more exciting will come for you soon!! keep inspiring us
What a gent helping you fix and upgrade Odessy. Shame re the travel changes. That all said, we meet some amazing folk in out lives. Those that support and help us and those we call friends. My day started today finding that someone had damaged my car ( Land Rover ) and just left. No note nothing. Going to have to foot that bill. Then I get to my photo studio this evening 2 hours before a shoot to find the ceiling has collapsed due to water damage. After a frantic 15 mins of multiple phone calls I had got a handle on what caused it and obtained access to another local studio to get my shoot done thank you to a friend in the industry. Since I have had offers of help to repair the place, offers off equipment as some of mine was damaged and my good friend of 20+ years drove over from Liverpool to help start the clean up. Brilliant people. Also the model I was shooting this evening just made me LOL and brightened up the evening.
Hello Eva, show us some of the beautiful places in Poland with historic background or whatever. I've been in Poland several times and it's worthwile! Take your time and enjoy the holidays! greetings from Hoogeveen Holland
We were in Poland last month filming and we were astonished, beautiful country. Holland is definitely on our list, Happy Holidays. If you have some time you can check out our travel vlogs and let us know what you think, only if you want to 😝
Eva, you should try to fly The Caribbean- they are very flexible. You can take a flight from Spain to Puerto Rico, from there you can visit Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba, Jamaica, etc … it’s so many Islands in the Caribbean. You will love it💕
Atleast you still get to go & visit places before these ... for us here, we have been stuck for almost 3 yrs in our country, not able to travel out for vacation or visiting family across the borders .. its really stressful 😥😭
My grandma was Polish and she would make perogies all the time. She would serve them with sour cream and sauteed onions. Watching your grandma cook them instantly reminded me of my childhood.
I am a silent fan of your adventure. I can only dream about your travel experiences. Watched every single video you made. You go girl......wish you conquer every single challenge humanly possible. My blessing and well wishes will be always for you.....
@@evazubeck A few things happened for me in this challenging time. I became a much better writer. By giving others feedback on their Facebook Page etc. Now I keep getting highlighted over and over. All over the world. That is giving me more confidence to start my book. I want to write my story about the crazy life I had. I call my self king of the underdogs! Did not even talk growing up. And getting made fun off. Even from some teachers I had. Now I can't even believe what I have accomplished. Every moment we all have choices to make. And hopefully it will help us grow and learn. The other thing with just a basic cell phone. I keep getting amazing photographs. That really puts me in the moment of time. If you have a email. I can also send you some photos. Who knows. Maybe you will be inspired. Good luck! You seem to be very aware about what is going on. And dealing with it. That I think is the key to the highway!
Adoring the useful changes you made to Odyssey. Your goal of South to North travel is bold; bold is badass!! Having it put on pause does not detract from how epic and fierce your vision is!!!! Mourn a bit; a natural state for abrupt change. Channel the energy into a passion project that doesn't require wilderness - making pierogi with Grandma, other Polish traditions and places; or something else entirely. Followers are here for you because of honest story telling and spirit. We will be here when South to North can resume.
Eva, I believe you are trying to prove your self and the world something. It is amazing what you are doing. However, whatever you are trying to prove yourself and the world it is not worth wasting these yrs that you could have your own children. Your own Children or child are/is something you can't buy in a store or find at the remotest places. A child loves you, helps you and will be there when you are old if you raise her/him full with love and with God's love .we all have eternal life and that love will never die , the love between you and your child/children. Being a mother can be the hardest job in the world but its worth it.
Great updates! If you do travel to South America in the future, I would suggest putting locks on everything on the outside (water tank, the containers on the rooftop, etc). Unfortunately in some countries there are thieves that would take anything that they can get there hands on to. Just so you will feel safer and don’t have to go through this type of situations. Love and be safe!😘🤗☀️🇻🇪
I know you love to go to different countries, but I think it would be interesting to explore Poland. It's a beautiful country and tons of things to visit, mountains to hike and cold enough you can try your Antarctic equipment. There are also the northern countries, in the middle of winter. That would be an experience...South America will still be there and you have more time to learn Spanish that is a difficult language to learn. I only learned it because is my native tongue!
Don't be disappointed. Not just yet. We have a saying in Greece: "Each and every obstacle is for good". There will be a new chance to climb that mountain (and many others as well), So, since you can not ship Odyssey and plans have changed, why don't you get in your car and come to Greece? You know, we do have the one and only, the famous mount Olympus here, which it's just standing and waiting for people like us to spend some nights on it's slopes. Season's greetings from Greece.
Yeah, it's like, wellcome to the club. At least she got away for amost half a year, and that's still something (a beautiful trip, I think). I haven't been anywhere except a few little trips around home for more than a year now. Not a time for big plans nowadays.
That's sad for Matei my sinceres condolences. Eva I know your strong you will find a way to overcome your challenge! Have a very happy Holidays with your family! 😘
Eva still inspires when things go against her. I hope Maciej can salvage his truck. Both their plans have been smashed due to factors beyond their control. Wishing both of them a run of good luck now.
I really love seeing the maintenance shops and owners pitch in to help transform your incredible vehicle to make it safer / more creature comforts / more bad ass !! You can also try for local trips and expeditions- which may help you refine your skills for when the big trips are available- remember: your living your life on your terms - just may be one of the greatest gifts of all .. thank you for always taking us along with you!
So sorry that you (and Odyssey) were unable to come visit the Americas. It sounds like a beautiful trip and a wonderful adventure. I hope that one day soon you will be able to live out that dream. This insanity has to end eventually. May you continue to live free in the world, Ms. Eva zu Beck.
As some say the mountain will still be there when you can eventually climb it. The delay maybe a blessing as you can refine it with time. Our plans are all being messed up so don't feel too despondent.
My mother used to make Pierogi. Since she passed I have wanted it, but I could not remember what it was called. You just reminded me, so THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Oh, Eva this episode brought so many emotions. Big hugs from New Zealand. Life has twists and turns, sometimes when you ask 'why' there is no real answer. I do know that your adventures will still continue and the universe has great plans for you. I miss Poland, the Polish language and pierogi, I will be back one day
Well thought out additions for Odyssey. I would though carry a couple of Jerry cans of fuel and attach removable running boards for crossing deep ditches. And inside I would add a sat phone for your protection. Looking forward to watching your journey.
From someone who also loves to plan, life is hard right now. These past year I've really been learning to go with the flow more, since that's often the only option now.
Fully agreed, Eva! It sucks not being able to make plans more than 2-3 weeks ahead. Even when it's 'just' a regular family life with occasional travel into neighbouring countries. Since you're mostly on your own: Mount Vinson will be there for another couple of days - so why worry?
I really feel for you Eva! Sending you lots of love and hope that you can come up with an even better plan for now and enjoy South America in the not-too-distant future. xx
New subscriber as recommended from Eliézer Tymniak. This video really touched my heart at the end, everyone of us remember many aspects of our childhood and you showed at the end an attitude as a child living inside, the child that few on us is living forever, such a brilliant scene that maybe you could see in those unic great movies. This is my girl! Changing plans? Be ready for it, always ❤️ Happy 2022 in full hope of joy for everybody🙏
Just fixed my lifted disco 2 td5 after being stranded in North London for 2 days. Completely overhauled the fuel system on the side of the road in terrential rain and just saw your video streaming 🤟🏿. Never give up on the old td5s they're built to be repaired.
I feel you girl. We sold her house in the same week covid started. We sold our house to finally travel. We learned that you just need to go. Nothing was possible if we needed to believe the internet, still we went to Spain and now we are in Brazil and going to ecuador in a month.
It was very unethical, immoral and dangerous to travel around during a pandemic unvaccinated and arrogantly like so many ignorant travel vloggers like Eva and other did in 2020-21
@@airhab do you know what is dangerous, only looking on your phone and television and getting so depressed by what your screens are telling you that you are so full of hate that you are going to be like you are right now. You make it possible that people are going to hate each other. We have billions of people on this earth and we made it without all of those stupid regulations that don't even work.
@@roydeborahdejong978 No contracting COVID and spreading different variants which KILL PEOPLE! far and wide is what was dangerous especially as vloggers have an affinity to visit the poorest and most vulnerable countries at the moment.
You have a beautiful country to share with your viewers. I, for one, would love to see some rural villages, wilderness, and WW2 historic places that I only read on books. That's an awesome alternative to cross-continent adventures while the COVID virus is still untamed.
Have some rest. Keep being strong and sticking to your objectives. In our days we face challenges in planning basic vacation travels to visit relatives, its hard to imagine all the difficulties you could face, especially when you are all alone. I also would like to thank you for all the moments that you have shared with us. I just sit in front of my laptop, and thanks to you I feel like I live a different life while I watch your videos!
Good call. It is really unpredictable to how the countries will react. Shipping a car is a huge gamble with this. As an alternative, you could go to places that are open, buy a local car and see how far you can go? Other than that, I hope that everything will open up again in April. Stay optimistic: South America isn't going away! You'll get your trip sooner or later!
Love the progression of adventure that resonates natural, organic, and passionate. Including all the stuff that doesn't always go how you hoped it would. Hope to hear more about your impressions of the front runner sliding table. Getting that living your best life vibe because although life isn't perfect, that is part of the beauty and at the end of the day it is all about your attitude.
Life is never what we plan, it is what we feel in our heart and soul. You have given yourself so much more to look forward too. Be safe and happy in the new year. Always look forward to where ever you go.
What about drilling a hole in the roof, somewhere to the side of the roof tent but under it, closing it off with some sort of insulated cap so that the cold/rain cannot enter the car. Then, when you need the tube, instead of pulling it outside from the car through the window, you pull it through the roof hole instead. And you can even make a small hole/pocket to the tent in that area to pass the tube through from under it. To me it feels much more integrated and safer, not to mention easier to store.
Hi. Sorry. Maybe I just don’t get this at all and will sound rude. But, why? Isn’t it just wasting heat? Maybe I’m just too Scandinavian here. :) But if you do wanna sleep in a tent in the middle of the winter, couldn’t just get a sleeping bag that works for -30C or something? Depending how artic you think it will be around you, minus twenty would probably be more than enough for most people, to be honest. I’m clearly just guessing here. But, wouldn’t most of the heat leak out anyway, thus, leaving you pretty cold regardless?
We have 1 year old baby. It is impossible to keep her in sleeping bag ;) Our heater is so strong that even at minimum it is to hot in tent - so good it lost some heat
"Pause for a moment, and count how many snowflakes fall on your tongue" We all have things we have or want to do, and we can get frustrated when plans fall apart or don't work out.., that is still such a beautiful sentiment.
This video was such amazing timing for me. Two days ago I also had to abandon all my hard-worked plans for the immediate future. I’ve really had to step back and take a deep breath and prepare to start again in a different way. Love the courage and beauty you show 💕 sometimes when it seems everything is falling apart, it’s actually falling into a place. I hope is the case for all of us, to overcome what seems like the most difficult things to become better and stronger after! 💪 love to everyone out there
Antarctica is a wonderful place but in all honesty glamourising it as a tourist place should be avoided. It’s very much a fragile ecosystem. I’d recommend Scotland, Belgium and Finland All great places during winter with lots of festivities. Best of luck on your future adventure ✌️
Hi Eva. I'm a NZ expat living in Uruguay - I can tell you that at the moment there are not restrictions for visitors, only PCR test as usual and retest after a few days and you're good to go! I'll be travelling to Argentina in a couple of weeks and the situation there is the same, even better because you won't need to do the test again. I'd say that Chile is the most difficult because of the government's policy on vaccine validation which can take up to a month to process. I'll be happy to assist you if you need more information. Cheers!
The pandemic just sucks overall everywhere.. may we all find peace and good health this year and onwards. Throughly enjoy your adventures and it’s still an adventure seeing you prep up for those adventures!
Can’t you do the route the other way around? Wait out the winter in Europe, start in Alaska in March/April, take a detour through Canada, then half a year through the US to visit all national parks for example, and then (in 2023) go to South America..
Look down where you find people with great needs, allowing you to refresh your thoughts, never forgetting how blessed you are🙂🙂. All will work itself out in due time.
I’m so sorry Eva. It sounds like it would’ve been awesome. Don’t think of this as a setback, I know this is cliché but when one door closes another door opens. I’m sure you’ll think of something, in the meantime enjoy those yummy looking dumplings. 🌹❤️🥰🤗
Eastern Europe is a beautiful place! I’d love to see you travel around the Eastern Block countries starting with Poland. I’ve been to Poland and have travelled there and found it to be a beautiful country with friendly people. So it would be nostalgic seeing it again plus other Eastern Europe countries. I’m positive there’s going to be a better future in 2022 as we need to BE the change we wish to SEE in this world. Love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️
My mom and I were planning a trip to Poland in 2007 when she passed away. I am about 90% Polish so it was going to be a special trip. After my mom passed, life turned upside down and when life finally settled down in 2015, my husband and I wanted to do the trip to Poland. After saving and planning and a few more hiccups in life, covid entered our world. We have not traveled for almost 3 years now. I have found your videos and it reminds me of m childhood when my parents took us camping all over the USA. As an adult, I joined the Navy and got to travel all over. When I got married my husband traveled for business so I went with. We always went to places the tourists don’t see because it was more adventurous. I miss traveling and it’s so sad the world is like this right now. I am feeling your pain and frustration. There are still so many places I want to visit! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I will be patient and wait for your next travels. Hugs 🤗 from Arizona, USA
This feels like a particularly extreme version of what the whole world seems to be going through at the moment. So hard to make plans. And life under these conditions has just gotten so emotionally exhausting. Somehow, however, I feel confident that you will come up with something inspiring and creative to do with the next year .... not to put pressure on you or anything 😄
The world is not going away. You are young, stay fit and healthy until the time is right. Odysey is ready, keep yourself ready and be patient. Sounds like an awesome trip.
Since you already had the second solar panel, my instinct would have been to lift it and create a slide-in space underneath the so you could add the cargo space for the boxes, but still have the same amount of solar wattage when you need it.

Can you travel around Poland? I have never really seen Poland outside of WW2 history. I would love to see the people and the places that are there.
I agree with Ann Meyers , as myself less knowledge about your country..🌞
I’d love to see videos from around Poland. There’s so much to see and so much to do.
There is a video in which Eva biked across Poland from the German border to the Ukrainian border.
me too..i want to know more in your country..
You Eva can also travel in Lithuania. It is neighbourhood of Poland.

Super kind of him and his shop for building up Odyssey as well as teaching you more about it's systems and maintenance. What a good person! :) Great video and cheers from the US.

It's really a crass divide, I have friends from there really close to my heart, the kindest people you could imagine, yet I have also met pure vile assholes from there. It's a miracle, either the one or the other, almost no grey zone of characters available.

All over the world. That is giving me more confidence to start my book. I want to write my story about the crazy life I had. I call my self king of the underdogs! Did not even talk growing up. And getting made fun off. Even from some teachers I had. Now I can't even believe what I have accomplished. Every moment we all have choices to make. And hopefully it will help us grow and learn. The other thing with just a basic cell phone. I keep getting amazing photographs. That really puts me in the moment of time. If you have a email. I can also send you some photos. Who knows. Maybe you will be inspired. Good luck! You seem to be very aware about what is going on. And dealing with it. That I think is the key to the highway!
Adoring the useful changes you made to Odyssey. Your goal of South to North travel is bold; bold is badass!! Having it put on pause does not detract from how epic and fierce your vision is!!!! Mourn a bit; a natural state for abrupt change. Channel the energy into a passion project that doesn't require wilderness - making pierogi with Grandma, other Polish traditions and places; or something else entirely. Followers are here for you because of honest story telling and spirit.
We will be here when South to North can resume.
Eva, I believe you are trying to prove your self and the world something. It is amazing what you are doing. However, whatever you are trying to prove yourself and the world it is not worth wasting these yrs that you could have your own children. Your own Children or child are/is something you can't buy in a store or find at the remotest places. A child loves you, helps you and will be there when you are old if you raise her/him full with love and with God's love .we all have eternal life and that love will never die , the love between you and your child/children. Being a mother can be the hardest job in the world but its worth it.
Great updates! If you do travel to South America in the future, I would suggest putting locks on everything on the outside (water tank, the containers on the rooftop, etc). Unfortunately in some countries there are thieves that would take anything that they can get there hands on to. Just so you will feel safer and don’t have to go through this type of situations. Love and be safe!😘🤗☀️🇻🇪
Marvelous video with your narration.
Always love to watch your videos.
God bless you Eva. Stay safe and blessed always dear. 🙏
I know you love to go to different countries, but I think it would be interesting to explore Poland. It's a beautiful country and tons of things to visit, mountains to hike and cold enough you can try your Antarctic equipment. There are also the northern countries, in the middle of winter. That would be an experience...South America will still be there and you have more time to learn Spanish that is a difficult language to learn. I only learned it because is my native tongue!
Yes the North does sound tempting… 🙌
@@evazubeck Agreed, there is much of Europe still left to explore. Eva, also think of your South America plans of being delayed. Not canceled.
Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year Eva. Thanks to Garage Autoplejada for helping out. God bless you and them and subscribers.
Don't be disappointed. Not just yet. We have a saying in Greece: "Each and every obstacle is for good". There will be a new chance to climb that mountain (and many others as well), So, since you can not ship Odyssey and plans have changed, why don't you get in your car and come to Greece? You know, we do have the one and only, the famous mount Olympus here, which it's just standing and waiting for people like us to spend some nights on it's slopes. Season's greetings from Greece.
This really hit home. I've had to cancel two trips already this year. Be safe and be well.
Eva, we are all exhausted and frustrated that we can’t plan anything beyond 2-3 days ahead... stay strong girl, you will find a new plan b! 💙
Yeah, it's like, wellcome to the club. At least she got away for amost half a year, and that's still something (a beautiful trip, I think). I haven't been anywhere except a few little trips around home for more than a year now. Not a time for big plans nowadays.
You are a wise, inspirational person. You are in my prayers. Your videos are remarkable. Howdy, and God bless, from Texas.
That's sad for Matei my sinceres condolences. Eva I know your strong you will find a way to overcome your challenge! Have a very happy Holidays with your family! 😘
Eva still inspires when things go against her. I hope Maciej can salvage his truck.
Both their plans have been smashed due to factors beyond their control. Wishing both of them a run of good luck now.
I really love seeing the maintenance shops and owners pitch in to help transform your incredible vehicle to make it safer / more creature comforts / more bad ass !! You can also try for local trips and expeditions- which may help you refine your skills for when the big trips are available- remember: your living your life on your terms - just may be one of the greatest gifts of all .. thank you for always taking us along with you!
So sorry that you (and Odyssey) were unable to come visit the Americas. It sounds like a beautiful trip and a wonderful adventure. I hope that one day soon you will be able to live out that dream. This insanity has to end eventually. May you continue to live free in the world, Ms. Eva zu Beck.
Hi from France Eva… feel sorry for your travel cancellation.
Wish you all the best to come.
Have a nice Christmas time.
Fred
You're inspiring to a lot of people....just make sure your plan is an "action "....not a "reaction."...thats my personal motto
As some say the mountain will still be there when you can eventually climb it. The delay maybe a blessing as you can refine it with time. Our plans are all being messed up so don't feel too despondent.
Eva can you tell me the background music that guitar when you telling about snowflakes you used to enjoy in your childhood..in very starting of video
My mother used to make Pierogi. Since she passed I have wanted it, but I could not remember what it was called. You just reminded me, so THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Look how far you have come 👏👏👏 we are here for the journey and I’m excited to see all the places you will go
Oh, Eva this episode brought so many emotions. Big hugs from New Zealand. Life has twists and turns, sometimes when you ask 'why' there is no real answer. I do know that your adventures will still continue and the universe has great plans for you. I miss Poland, the Polish language and pierogi, I will be back one day
I absolutely feel your disappointment . But you're not alone. We, travelers, are all facing similar constraints !!!
Well thought out additions for Odyssey. I would though carry a couple of Jerry cans of fuel and attach removable running boards for crossing deep ditches. And inside I would add a sat phone for your protection. Looking forward to watching your journey.
From someone who also loves to plan, life is hard right now. These past year I've really been learning to go with the flow more, since that's often the only option now.
Fully agreed, Eva! It sucks not being able to make plans more than 2-3 weeks ahead. Even when it's 'just' a regular family life with occasional travel into neighbouring countries. Since you're mostly on your own: Mount Vinson will be there for another couple of days - so why worry?
Peirogis are pure joy and happiness! My Ukrainian grandmother used to make them for us all the time❤️!
Aww lucky you!
Zakopane! Morski Oko! Termy Bania! Eva, you have so much beauty at your doorstep, the trails alone will keep you busy for weeks!
I really feel for you Eva! Sending you lots of love and hope that you can come up with an even better plan for now and enjoy South America in the not-too-distant future. xx
Thank you so much Lorraine 🙌
New subscriber as recommended from Eliézer Tymniak. This video really touched my heart at the end, everyone of us remember many aspects of our childhood and you showed at the end an attitude as a child living inside, the child that few on us is living forever, such a brilliant scene that maybe you could see in those unic great movies. This is my girl! Changing plans? Be ready for it, always ❤️ Happy 2022 in full hope of joy for everybody🙏
Just fixed my lifted disco 2 td5 after being stranded in North London for 2 days. Completely overhauled the fuel system on the side of the road in terrential rain and just saw your video streaming 🤟🏿. Never give up on the old td5s they're built to be repaired.
that is so cool and great that shop doing all that. nice to see work done in other countries.
I feel you girl. We sold her house in the same week covid started. We sold our house to finally travel. We learned that you just need to go. Nothing was possible if we needed to believe the internet, still we went to Spain and now we are in Brazil and going to ecuador in a month.
Yes, do it before it's too late ❣
It was very unethical, immoral and dangerous to travel around during a pandemic unvaccinated and arrogantly like so many ignorant travel vloggers like Eva and other did in 2020-21
@@airhab do you know what is dangerous, only looking on your phone and television and getting so depressed by what your screens are telling you that you are so full of hate that you are going to be like you are right now. You make it possible that people are going to hate each other. We have billions of people on this earth and we made it without all of those stupid regulations that don't even work.
@@roydeborahdejong978 No contracting COVID and spreading different variants which KILL PEOPLE! far and wide is what was dangerous especially as vloggers have an affinity to visit the poorest and most vulnerable countries at the moment.
Remember everything that happens has sort of blessing in disguise. So accept it with gratitude. Stay blessed and stay safe.
You have an incredible personality, may God Bless you in all the challenges you face.
You have a beautiful country to share with your viewers. I, for one, would love to see some rural villages, wilderness, and WW2 historic places that I only read on books. That's an awesome alternative to cross-continent adventures while the COVID virus is still untamed.
Have some rest. Keep being strong and sticking to your objectives. In our days we face challenges in planning basic vacation travels to visit relatives, its hard to imagine all the difficulties you could face, especially when you are all alone. I also would like to thank you for all the moments that you have shared with us. I just sit in front of my laptop, and thanks to you I feel like I live a different life while I watch your videos!
Cool upgrades! God Bless this man that helped you, He will help him. So sorry about your plans and happy to see anywhere you go in the world ❤
Good call. It is really unpredictable to how the countries will react. Shipping a car is a huge gamble with this.
As an alternative, you could go to places that are open, buy a local car and see how far you can go? Other than that, I hope that everything will open up again in April.
Stay optimistic: South America isn't going away! You'll get your trip sooner or later!
Love the progression of adventure that resonates natural, organic, and passionate. Including all the stuff that doesn't always go how you hoped it would. Hope to hear more about your impressions of the front runner sliding table. Getting that living your best life vibe because although life isn't perfect, that is part of the beauty and at the end of the day it is all about your attitude.
For a person who likes to live life on the edge and go where ever life takes you this should all be great news!!
Life is never what we plan, it is what we feel in our heart and soul. You have given yourself so much more to look forward too. Be safe and happy in the new year. Always look forward to where ever you go.
So proud that you used our rooftop tent heating idea! 🔥 Pozdrowienia od Oli i Gai 👋
What about drilling a hole in the roof, somewhere to the side of the roof tent but under it, closing it off with some sort of insulated cap so that the cold/rain cannot enter the car. Then, when you need the tube, instead of pulling it outside from the car through the window, you pull it through the roof hole instead. And you can even make a small hole/pocket to the tent in that area to pass the tube through from under it. To me it feels much more integrated and safer, not to mention easier to store.
@@dragosalexpop Yep that was what I was thinking, Through the roof. Good, simple and easy to handle.
Hi. Sorry. Maybe I just don’t get this at all and will sound rude. But, why? Isn’t it just wasting heat?
Maybe I’m just too Scandinavian here. :) But if you do wanna sleep in a tent in the middle of the winter, couldn’t just get a sleeping bag that works for -30C or something? Depending how artic you think it will be around you, minus twenty would probably be more than enough for most people, to be honest.
I’m clearly just guessing here. But, wouldn’t most of the heat leak out anyway, thus, leaving you pretty cold regardless?
@@fredskronk this too. As long as the tent is not insulated all the heat would escape.
We have 1 year old baby. It is impossible to keep her in sleeping bag ;)
Our heater is so strong that even at minimum it is to hot in tent - so good it lost some heat
Massive props to you for learning more about your vehicle and how to work on it, even though it may not be the most natural thing for you.
"Pause for a moment, and count how many snowflakes fall on your tongue"
We all have things we have or want to do, and we can get frustrated when plans fall apart or don't work out.., that is still such a beautiful sentiment.
This video was such amazing timing for me. Two days ago I also had to abandon all my hard-worked plans for the immediate future. I’ve really had to step back and take a deep breath and prepare to start again in a different way. Love the courage and beauty you show 💕 sometimes when it seems everything is falling apart, it’s actually falling into a place. I hope is the case for all of us, to overcome what seems like the most difficult things to become better and stronger after! 💪 love to everyone out there
Plans are not for the braves.. so now you have a new unplanned opportunity!👍
I love this!
You are young and have a new adventure to discover and accomplish. I will keep you in my prayers. May God bless you.
Antarctica is a wonderful place but in all honesty glamourising it as a tourist place should be avoided. It’s very much a fragile ecosystem. I’d recommend Scotland, Belgium and Finland All great places during winter with lots of festivities. Best of luck on your future adventure ✌️
Your such a good film maker! Even your B roll is amazing!
Hi Eva. I'm a NZ expat living in Uruguay - I can tell you that at the moment there are not restrictions for visitors, only PCR test as usual and retest after a few days and you're good to go! I'll be travelling to Argentina in a couple of weeks and the situation there is the same, even better because you won't need to do the test again. I'd say that Chile is the most difficult because of the government's policy on vaccine validation which can take up to a month to process. I'll be happy to assist you if you need more information. Cheers!
a good water tank on the ceiling. People here in Brazil will help along the way.
@@FelipeRoehe porra
Do you need a vaccine passport to enter Uruguay or Argentina?
The pandemic just sucks overall everywhere.. may we all find peace and good health this year and onwards. Throughly enjoy your adventures and it’s still an adventure seeing you prep up for those adventures!
Can’t you do the route the other way around? Wait out the winter in Europe, start in Alaska in March/April, take a detour through Canada, then half a year through the US to visit all national parks for example, and then (in 2023) go to South America..
I agree: I seriously doubt that the U.S. will shut down again; Canada may be the only unknown
that was my suggestion too.
@@andrewmutters8338 oh yes it will. Gotta speed the genocide up🙄
Look down where you find people with great needs, allowing you to refresh your thoughts, never forgetting how blessed you are🙂🙂. All will work itself out in due time.
I’m so sorry Eva. It sounds like it would’ve been awesome. Don’t think of this as a setback, I know this is cliché but when one door closes another door opens. I’m sure you’ll think of something, in the meantime enjoy those yummy looking dumplings. 🌹❤️🥰🤗
Thanks so much for your lovely thoughts Helena!
Her energy is so amazing. Omgggg if you come to uruguay please let me know I will love to show you around
Eastern Europe is a beautiful place! I’d love to see you travel around the Eastern Block countries starting with Poland. I’ve been to Poland and have travelled there and found it to be a beautiful country with friendly people. So it would be nostalgic seeing it again plus other Eastern Europe countries. I’m positive there’s going to be a better future in 2022 as we need to BE the change we wish to SEE in this world. Love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Be safe, be alive, you always have a chance to make the trip in the future. Take care and good luck!
Things happen for a reason and just go with the flow 🥰
My mom and I were planning a trip to Poland in 2007 when she passed away. I am about 90% Polish so it was going to be a special trip. After my mom passed, life turned upside down and when life finally settled down in 2015, my husband and I wanted to do the trip to Poland. After saving and planning and a few more hiccups in life, covid entered our world. We have not traveled for almost 3 years now. I have found your videos and it reminds me of m childhood when my parents took us camping all over the USA. As an adult, I joined the Navy and got to travel all over. When I got married my husband traveled for business so I went with. We always went to places the tourists don’t see because it was more adventurous. I miss traveling and it’s so sad the world is like this right now. I am feeling your pain and frustration. There are still so many places I want to visit! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I will be patient and wait for your next travels. Hugs 🤗 from Arizona, USA
This feels like a particularly extreme version of what the whole world seems to be going through at the moment. So hard to make plans. And life under these conditions has just gotten so emotionally exhausting. Somehow, however, I feel confident that you will come up with something inspiring and creative to do with the next year .... not to put pressure on you or anything 😄
Why emotionally taxing?
@@talisikid1618 hello... people are locked down. Not free. It's tiring and exhausting. And ridiculous.
Nothing wrong with investing in Odyssey - very nice! Stay positive!
Trzymam kciuki, jakkolwiek plany się potoczą 🤞🏻🤞🏻
The world is not going away. You are young, stay fit and healthy until the time is right. Odysey is ready, keep yourself ready and be patient. Sounds like an awesome trip.
Since you already had the second solar panel, my instinct would have been to lift it and create a slide-in space underneath the so you could add the cargo space for the boxes, but still have the same amount of solar wattage when you need it.
The car is cool. Keep filming your adventures, stay safe.
So happy to see your Albanian flag sticker on your laptop!
Hi Eva, your grandma is a very cool cook, hehe. Her homemade Polish dumpling look so delicious
