So happy you are ok! People don’t realize that living your dream can have ups and downs. Thanks for showing us true reality, not just social media false perfection. You are an amazing woman!
Dear BIBE I advocate this sentiment : Everything happens for a reason..

U r as always this fearless n determined beautiful soul… pls take good care n stay safe n thank u for continuing to sharing yr awesome adventures… Big virtual hug..
"things change, dreams change, we change" I am starting to accept that. I'll be 29 in October and have realized that I want to travel and overland. I'm currently building/restoring my dream rig (a 78 Jeep Cherokee Chief) and I watch channels like yours for inspiration. Thanks and keep up the great content!
Are u a billionaire? I mean, i also wanna travel, but i only have 30 days of vacation per year so there are not that many options. But i am just only a normal employee.
@@a.g.4843 and also a month outta the year would be better then nothing lol. You can use the desire to travel as motivation to work all year and then take the month off and live in a vehicle and experience things you wouldn’t experience otherwise
I would love to see your Jeep. I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport I’m building and restoring for traveling purposes it’s also my daily but eventually I want to live in it at least part time
Eva you live the life of millions of peoples dreams but somehow they never dares to fulfill it because of circumstances they’ve been facing in life or afraid to make it alone.but you’re the person whom I really admire for doing that and make us believe that life is too short and we have to make it count every day as is our last day and enjoying and exploring it fullest. Thank you eva ❤️
This is exactly where I am in life, I am 25 and just achieved financial independence, most passive and some from labour. I know what I want to do but I'm daunted by bud decisions and I can't imagine myself ever traveling/backpacking or anything of the sort, I've never even left UK alone and I've never left Europe!
Eva, my husband and I were traveling in Montenegro and Albania at the same time as you. We absolutely love these countries! My husband started looking for your truck as we were driving around the countryside ;) At one point in Montenegro we were on a really hairy road, and I said to my husband, Eva drives on roads like this all the time. It calmed him down a little bit, until a huge, and I mean huge, construction vehicle approached us on the one lane steep mountain cliff road. The truck won the standoff. We had to back up to the previous widest part so he could pass. I’m glad you’re ok after the angry cow incident. Take care.
Quick tip: when the car is refusing to go in to the gears just release the clutch and press it back (double clutch), and hope so u wouldnt have any problems
I am so glad you are safe Eva! Yes it is true, my mom got attacked by her cow when she was a little girl in Mexico. She survived thanks to a tree , which she used as a barrier, she kept running around it and the cow kept chasing her, even when she ran inside her house the cow was waiting for her. She said she had never been so afraid in her life before that. "Mad Cows" everywhere.
"The world belongs to the brave." There's no doubt you are. Just be extra careful in driving and parking over uneven, inclined or unstable grounds which are common in off-roading. Top-heavy vehicle with quite high center of gravity can be prone to rollover.
@@G58 l not sure the was the case, (although it did look that way) there is a blue jerry can on the roof, l think the litre bottle was just to fill the intruck tank.
@matchpoint she says she ultimately used the bottle to fill the tank up with 20 liters of water and made lots of trips. She didn’t continue using the metal pan.
Eva! I found your videos and I will say you are the most intelligent, courageous, disciplined, and independent woman I think I’ve ever come across when it comes to how you travel. I would be terrified to go way out there all by myself. You’re inspiring and so positive! I would love to go on an adventure with you someday. Adventure woman 👩🏽
When the USAF sent me to Minot AFB ND in 1995 at age 26, I drove a 1992 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer alone from Arkansas to ND in 3 days. When I left, I made the return trip in a day & a half.
I noticed you having trouble with low range. If you select 1st gear then push the l/h gear forward into low whilst very slightly lifting the clutch it will pop into low every time. Stay safe.
After working at a dairy farm when I was young I realized cows in general are not to be trusted. That being said, while growing up on a small farm we had a cow that loved to be petted and she would allow children to get on her back and ride about. A good thing to keep handy is an umbrella. Point it at the offending animal and pop it open. Usually works. Get well soon!
Maybe you could share some tips on how to feel safe as a woman. I keep watching various female creators who explore the world alone fearlessly but I find myself feeling very unsafe mostly when traveling alone. Love your content Eva 🙏
I don't think anyone is or can be perfectly safe when travelling alone , especially women unfortunately . Statistically it's highly unlikely you'll meet bad people but you never know especially if you don't know anything about the kind of area you're in . I would definitely carry pepper spray & or a taser & never ever go anywhere alone with someone you don't really know very well , even other women as they can bait & lure the unwary into trouble . I think have fun but always stay alert & wary & on gaurd when strangers approach you , make it obvious too , if they mean you harm they may move on to find an easier less wary target .
Well, I have been assaulted before in broad daylight in the middle of a crowd at the train station in my German home city, so I guess I'm a bit more concerned about dangerous people in general. Also one time two guys ran after me to my car, I was just lucky I got in fast enough and could lock the doors. This was also in the middle of a city with people around. Maybe I should just avoid cities 😂 but it would be interesting anyway if more female creators shared their thoughts and maybe tips on safety, especially in remote places or generally risky countries. A guide is one thing, yes.
Though the charging cow must have been so scary, your re-enacted of the accident was so cute. Glad you are okay now, but we can understand that being very shocking & scary at the time. In the midst of these real life scenarios, glad you get to live out your dreams in your "villa on wheels," like finding fresh mountain spring water. Thank you for showing these real life experiences.
It's almost two years since I first watched your video on SYRIA, for my school project.

Easy to be brave when you can drive up to a clinic and get treated when you get wounded. Or go to a coffee shop any time you want. Try being brave in another country.
Eva as a 29 year old living in Serbia, which is bordering Montenegro, and owning a small marketing company i can tell you that i 100% agree with you. Couple of years ago i would never believe someone that by the time im 30 i wanna retire and life somewhere of the grid, in a forest or on the wheels. Cant wait to join your lifestyle in a year or so. all the best wishes, spring water, sunsets, tasty food and breathtaking landscapes!
I feel like we would be best friends Eva and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that! It is a testament both to your quality of your work and your authenticity while sharing your life. Thank you lovely fearless legend! x
As a fellow Pole that has a corporate life abroad as well, I can tell you that you made a great choice! I still haven't escaped 'the system', but if all goes to plan I will escape to a sustainable living somewhere in Spain or Canada. Really glad that you didn't get any serious injury from that mad cow! I hope you will recover fast!
You are amazing eva... every time I look at you and your content it just gives me a lot of motivation and inspiration to live my life with much more energy, and find my way to feel alive... just keep making videos so that I can get inspired and feel satisfied after watching them... lots of love from india❣❣
Eva I had my adventures in my life and now at 63 watching your videos have ignited in me the desire to buy a camper and hit the road. My adventures when I was young were in Europe now I live in the States and would love to start traveling here. God you are going to have some amazing memories when you get older. Thanks for the videos I enjoyed watching them.
@Ruby Ridge Because they have other stuff to do? You are connecting dots that don`t need to be connected. I mean it could be she tripped and decided to make up a story bout the cow, it could be.. But i don`t have a reason to disbelieve her. There is no motive, I don`t know for sure the story is real, but I give her the benefit of the doubt, because, why not?
@@MrNoodlot The wound would be bigger (or deeper) if it was from a cow, esp. if it supposedly rammed into her. Cows are very strong. The motive is to make everything more interesting than it was. She probably banged her head against something.
I'm glad that you're doing OK, after that run in with the beastie. Cows are very temperamental, and once they decide not to like you, they keep trying to attack you, when they see you. Take care, stay safe, and continue having fun! 💜
I really admmire how you make do with the gear that you have. This is far better than overlanding channels that are too focused on buying a gear for everything and having each of those be the central point rather than showing off true skills and embarking on a fun adventure -- with all of its ups and downs. Keep it real, Eva. No doubt you're a true gem in this niche. Cheers!
@@pj7371 you know some people have responsibilities in life… caring for others, making the world go round… not everyone is completely careless and has the health and financial privilege to travel the world
Just found your channel and I cry on every video! Binging right now. I love your content and how you tell your story and each place you go to. This gives me so much courage especially as a woman to travel alone. 💛
Just a thought that came to mind. When you are in areas like the beach, that are kinda off-grid, if you for some reason do not have power on your battery (forget the ignition etc), you should invest in a portable battery booster. You may already have it, but if not, could be a life saver!
So here I am taking a few days to recover from a freak accident, receiving a nasty wound above my eye. When I come across your youtube channel and watch this video of you receiving a nasty wound above your eye......WOW! Much love and respect. You have a new subscriber and friend in me!
I live on a farm, we never bring the dog to the pasture for this reason, as for the low range box engagement, engage 1st on the main box first with the transfer box in neutral, dip the clutch and try to engage low while feathering the clutch, it'll go into gear. The first chance you get, spray silicon lubricant or brunox on the gear linkages of the transfer box from under neath, you'll see them move with someone wiggling the stick, they stick from lack of use. Keep them lubed and it'll save time and hardship and also ensure they don't break. I've been driving defenders 20 years and love the td5s, there's always little tricks and quirks with them, stay safe
And get your hand under there so you understand how that linkage works. If that little "U" shaped link is too loose you can end up staying locked when you think its not. Not good for CV's if that happens. Easy to push the lever across from underneath just to make sure. Oh dont go to India if you dont like cows.
Good idea for laundry that i saw in another travel vlog is to take a plastic bucket with a lid put your clothes in it with water and detergent and put the lid on and leave it at the back of your 4x4. So when you go through rough terrains and your 4x4 is jumping up and down and all over the place, your clothes get a good tumble wash just like a washing machine...try it...worked for me. Good to see your are fine after your encounter with the cow and hopefully the wound was not too bad...hope you recover soon..Best of luck and safe travels!
Ok, this encounter wasn't funny. But to see you then in a good mood and replaying the scene for us, that really was funny. I'm sure all your followers are happy that you survived this encounter. Wish you all the best 🤗
OMG! Glad you were able to defend yourself against the attack! Stay Safe, esp when a dog barks, which is a warning against any coming danger. May God be with you!
In your closing monologue, I like to refer to that as ‘saying yes to life’, when the bumps and bruises and unexpected pains of life come our way, say yes, accept that it happened, and move forward. Being in denial, saying No, I can’t believe this happened to me causes one to become stagnant, stuck or paralyzed in the moment.
That was my father’s motto, leave things and other people’s property you use in better shape than when you receive it. A good place to meditate on the Word of the Lord. Be safe, aloha from Hawaii.
I had an incident in Colorado while traveling, alone. Although I camped most of the time in my Jeep, I was camping in my tent in an RV park in a beautiful spot along the river. I wasn't feeling well and laid down, fell asleep without animal proofing my camp (which is very important in Colorado) and was awoken by a bear trying to get into my ice chest. It was right outside my tent door. I screamed bloody murder, blew my whistle and banged anything I could find. Finally after an hour of doing this the bear left and someone came to my rescue. The scariest thing was that I also had some snacks in my tent and the bear could have clawed its way in, but thank God that didn't happen. I packed up and left in the middle of the night I was so freaked out. Lesson learned. Be safe! Enjoy your journey. It looks fantastic!
Hi you’ve probably worked this out already, but if your having trouble getting it into low or high range put into 1st gear and rock it back and forth on the clutch, Should go straight in then 👍
When people said “stay safe” they definitely didn’t expect to mean safe from cows 😂 glad you’re okay and humour aside, I can’t imagine how scary that would’ve been
Keep exploring the world, the moment I saw your videos I'm stucked now and get addicted watching every adventures that you had in the past and looking forward to see more in the future. Stay safe always!
OMG!!! Thank God you’re safe, it could’ve been worse for you darling. Stay safe and enjoy your travels as I live vicariously through yours . Blessings and hugs ❤️🙏
Hi Eva. My grandfather was onetime stabbed by his own cow, so he had to visit the hospital. Cows are unpredictable animals, ahead of that they are quiet and calm. That was the hard moment when she was above you, my heart would have stopped. Thank you for visiting my country, that is true wild beauty🇲🇪👋👍
actually it's mostly the humans who are unpredictable, as they breed animals into existence, treat them well (or at least decently) for a while, then kill them, take their children, and so on. It's a miracle more animals don't get pissed off by this, but that's domestication for ya.
You’re now an official road warrior, only add a cow. Great to see a feisty young woman having adventures and seizing the day. Stay fearless, but always have situational awareness and keep an eye out for what could go wrong.
I really enjoyed your video. You are courageous and reaping the benefits of that courage. Your experiences are part of you and no one can take them away from you.
You are so beautiful Eva! Who would have thought the cow would freak out. I'm happy it wasn't worse. The defender seems to be really cozy. I love the rooftop tent. You did a great job customizing it. Be safe.
I have a Discovery 1 and Discovery 2, it’s best to shift gears with the vehicle moving really slow. I normally do it between 1-3 MPH with the transmission in “N” (neutral). Otherwise both of my land rovers do not shift to low range.
Try to get a submersible 12 volt pump. It is a life Saver. My defender has 60 liters of Walter tank which is good for 3 days including a daily shower and Washing the dishes
After traveling the world and being around lions, tigers, bears and barbarians you get attacked by a cow. The most comical video you've ever made. Hope you have a speedy recovery and in show business remember animals never follow the script... 😂
World traveler. Lived a little everywhere. Even a ranch. Love the Vids. Especially seeing the different cultures through your eyes and interpretation of other cultural realities. Heal soon. Be safe! Avoid cows... 😎
I was once threatened and harassed by a squad of menacing hit-cows along a quiet road in rural Scotland. Luckily there was a sturdy fence between them and me. I took a snapshot, which I still have over 30 years later, of all ten or so of them glaring at me.
The crazy thing is that one cow or a group of cows could jump onto the road at any moment if they go crazy, the fence or a bush can't stop them. And they get so abused by humans that would just fair that each kill humans when they can.
Cows,Buffaloes,Goats,Sheeps,Camels,Horses,Donkeys and asses if angered will make you have a bad time and I speak from experience (particularly my buttock region but let's not discuss that :)
I just discovered your channel this morning and I've been watching ever since!!! You are AMAZING!!!! Very soothing watching and listening to you, and I am in LOVE with how you appreciate things!!! When you set the lights up how you took time to take it in.... I felt like I was in that moment too!!!! Thank you for your whole presence💚!!!
You would love it here in Australia, ur doing exactly what I always dreamed of I’m so happy I found this channel, I’m getting really good tips and trick from you even tho ur new to this sort of thing I think starting off is the most important part of the adventure
You have to be so careful. I live next to a farm and the cows don't mess around. The minute you even look at their babies ...they stare you out. Thank goodness you seem ok. But get it checked at some point. We live in Scotland and the Sheep are the same.
Dear Eva, if low gear doesn't work right away, roll a tiny piece into high gear and then switch to low gear. sometimes it doesn't lock into place when you're standing on a spot. Best regards...... 🥰🌻
Can't wait to do this too in the future❤ I love how you remind us to appreciate the small things which I tend to forget. Also you picking up trash where ever you go speaks how a good human being you are. You are so inspiring! Hope to meet you one day❤ btw, im glad you are okay but the way you told the story was so funny haha take care Eva!
Love that mountain water! On our farm in N.E. Georgia, we have an actual natural Artesian Well flowing up thru the granite. It is cool and so refreshing! AND, CLEAN and PURE WATER!!
14:05 In case of emergency you should alway have superglue, its perfect to seal wound in extreme condition. (By the way cyanoacrylate has been design for that and used during vietnam war) Again you should think to install lockable hubs to your front wheels in order to drive 4x2 when you are not off-roading ;)
Nice drive. and beach. Thanks goodness you are ok. And don't worry, you're not dying. You've gazillion videos to make. And you can tell'em “Not today!” 😉. For adrenaline rush. Hopefully, you are healing up fast. Stay safe.
My new favourite youtuber, Love your outlook on life Eva, such an inspiration, best wishes and safe travels from New Zealand, can't wait for the next episode !! :-)
Whenever I see a new video of your adventures, I begin to crave a vacation in a 5 star luxury hotel. Anyway I love your videos! Keep up the good work and thanks again for sharing!
Honestly eva i laughed at the imagination of you innocently "hand feeding" the cow😆...anyway sorry for the bruise and wish you quick recovery but never underestimate the wildness of a domestic animal😃
Sooo did you realize that cows could be so dangerous?! 😳 (As mentioned on IG, I’m not going to start revenge eating beef now FYI 😂)
🤣
Love N support from pakistan
@@moses2652 that is kind of why I got it 😂

You are amazing eva... every time I look at you and your content it just gives me a lot of motivation and inspiration to live my life with much more energy, and find my way to feel alive... just keep making videos so that I can get inspired and feel satisfied after watching them... lots of love from india❣❣
Same❤️
Eva I had my adventures in my life and now at 63 watching your videos have ignited in me the desire to buy a camper and hit the road. My adventures when I was young were in Europe now I live in the States and would love to start traveling here. God you are going to have some amazing memories when you get older. Thanks for the videos I enjoyed watching them.
The caw gave you a lesson: "If I didn't ask you - don't intrude!" AND also gave you a gift - lifelong memory! Gotta love life!
@Ruby Ridge Because they have other stuff to do? You are connecting dots that don`t need to be connected. I mean it could be she tripped and decided to make up a story bout the cow, it could be.. But i don`t have a reason to disbelieve her. There is no motive, I don`t know for sure the story is real, but I give her the benefit of the doubt, because, why not?
@@MrNoodlot The wound would be bigger (or deeper) if it was from a cow, esp. if it supposedly rammed into her. Cows are very strong. The motive is to make everything more interesting than it was. She probably banged her head against something.
@@MrNoodlot for the record I like her videos but if you look again you'll see the cow had no horns... just sayin.
So glad you're ok!! This could've had a really tragic ending...God is looking out for you. Great video, thank you!
I'm glad that you're doing OK, after that run in with the beastie. Cows are very temperamental, and once they decide not to like you, they keep trying to attack you, when they see you. Take care, stay safe, and continue having fun! 💜
I really admmire how you make do with the gear that you have. This is far better than overlanding channels that are too focused on buying a gear for everything and having each of those be the central point rather than showing off true skills and embarking on a fun adventure -- with all of its ups and downs. Keep it real, Eva. No doubt you're a true gem in this niche. Cheers!
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again….I want to come back as Eva in my next life. Beautiful, Brave, and a Badass!
just start with it to change yourself, if you want to be like her
u dont need to wait to ur next life! make plans and go out there, u can find great adventures close to where u live im sure!
Me too, I’d love to be like her! I am such a whimp
Do you have arms and legs? Can you walk? Then you can literally do this. Everything else are just excuses.
@@pj7371 you know some people have responsibilities in life… caring for others, making the world go round… not everyone is completely careless and has the health and financial privilege to travel the world
Your car is like a mini Villa. It has everything it needed. Kudos to your courage for continuing this adventure. Brave heart as it says on your car.
Just found your channel and I cry on every video! Binging right now. I love your content and how you tell your story and each place you go to. This gives me so much courage especially as a woman to travel alone. 💛
Just a thought that came to mind. When you are in areas like the beach, that are kinda off-grid, if you for some reason do not have power on your battery (forget the ignition etc), you should invest in a portable battery booster. You may already have it, but if not, could be a life saver!
So here I am taking a few days to recover from a freak accident, receiving a nasty wound above my eye. When I come across your youtube channel and watch this video of you receiving a nasty wound above your eye......WOW! Much love and respect. You have a new subscriber and friend in me!
I live on a farm, we never bring the dog to the pasture for this reason, as for the low range box engagement, engage 1st on the main box first with the transfer box in neutral, dip the clutch and try to engage low while feathering the clutch, it'll go into gear. The first chance you get, spray silicon lubricant or brunox on the gear linkages of the transfer box from under neath, you'll see them move with someone wiggling the stick, they stick from lack of use. Keep them lubed and it'll save time and hardship and also ensure they don't break. I've been driving defenders 20 years and love the td5s, there's always little tricks and quirks with them, stay safe
And get your hand under there so you understand how that linkage works. If that little "U" shaped link is too loose you can end up staying locked when you think its not. Not good for CV's if that happens. Easy to push the lever across from underneath just to make sure. Oh dont go to India if you dont like cows.
You should be carrying a second water source like a 20 litre canister, you never know when you have a leak in one of them
Great observation Alph. There are tons of issues with this adventure.
@@Jay151 and easy to fill in car water tank
good point, and also a water can (with nozzle) for collecting water to fill up her water tank.
Good idea for laundry that i saw in another travel vlog is to take a plastic bucket with a lid put your clothes in it with water and detergent and put the lid on and leave it at the back of your 4x4. So when you go through rough terrains and your 4x4 is jumping up and down and all over the place, your clothes get a good tumble wash just like a washing machine...try it...worked for me. Good to see your are fine after your encounter with the cow and hopefully the wound was not too bad...hope you recover soon..Best of luck and safe travels!
Ok, this encounter wasn't funny. But to see you then in a good mood and replaying the scene for us, that really was funny.
I'm sure all your followers are happy that you survived this encounter.
Wish you all the best
🤗
a die hard fan, sorry for the cow.
Whenever i feel alone, i see your vlogs!
I admire you alot!
OMG! Glad you were able to defend yourself against the attack! Stay Safe, esp when a dog barks, which is a warning against any coming danger. May God be with you!
how can you not fall in love with such a warrior, hope to randomly see you somewhere on the globe queen, good luck!
In your closing monologue, I like to refer to that as ‘saying yes to life’, when the bumps and bruises and unexpected pains of life come our way, say yes, accept that it happened, and move forward. Being in denial, saying No, I can’t believe this happened to me causes one to become stagnant, stuck or paralyzed in the moment.
That was my father’s motto, leave things and other people’s property you use in better shape than when you receive it. A good place to meditate on the Word of the Lord. Be safe, aloha from Hawaii.
Fast forward 50 years - “Granny, how did you get that scar on your forehead?”
“Oh, just a cow fight”
😂
Still, should have seen the state of the cow after.
_"I once fought this mythical beast to save the world.."_ 🤣🤣
Hi was that a cow fight or a cow of a fight LOL
I had an incident in Colorado while traveling, alone. Although I camped most of the time in my Jeep, I was camping in my tent in an RV park in a beautiful spot along the river. I wasn't feeling well and laid down, fell asleep without animal proofing my camp (which is very important in Colorado) and was awoken by a bear trying to get into my ice chest. It was right outside my tent door. I screamed bloody murder, blew my whistle and banged anything I could find. Finally after an hour of doing this the bear left and someone came to my rescue. The scariest thing was that I also had some snacks in my tent and the bear could have clawed its way in, but thank God that didn't happen. I packed up and left in the middle of the night I was so freaked out. Lesson learned. Be safe! Enjoy your journey. It looks fantastic!
Hi you’ve probably worked this out already, but if your having trouble getting it into low or high range put into 1st gear and rock it back and forth on the clutch,
Should go straight in then 👍
Right...also better if the front wheels are absolutely straight...and not turned in either directions.
There was nothing I saw that needed low range or diffs in....... 🤷🏽♂️
@@johnphelan6623 agree with u on that too...the terrain was way too easy for 4H too....4L was not needed...
I laughed when I saw the family cars come into view , 4h just to be safe and prevent wheel spin IMO
So much respect for you going beyond what most of us wouldn’t!🙏🏻🤗
When people said “stay safe” they definitely didn’t expect to mean safe from cows 😂 glad you’re okay and humour aside, I can’t imagine how scary that would’ve been
Agree with ur statement
stay safe kind of really does mean, in everything......because people care about your wellbeing.
Eva please get well soon.
Incidents like this are unavoidable but then you escaped with minimum injury.
You are tough and motivator
Keep exploring the world, the moment I saw your videos I'm stucked now and get addicted watching every adventures that you had in the past and looking forward to see more in the future. Stay safe always!
These kind of incidents gives us unforgettable memories
Depends on the head injury.
@@Munkenba 😀
OMG!!! Thank God you’re safe, it could’ve been worse for you darling. Stay safe and enjoy your travels as I live vicariously through yours . Blessings and hugs ❤️🙏
Hi Eva. My grandfather was onetime stabbed by his own cow, so he had to visit the hospital. Cows are unpredictable animals, ahead of that they are quiet and calm. That was the hard moment when she was above you, my heart would have stopped. Thank you for visiting my country, that is true wild beauty🇲🇪👋👍
actually it's mostly the humans who are unpredictable, as they breed animals into existence, treat them well (or at least decently) for a while, then kill them, take their children, and so on. It's a miracle more animals don't get pissed off by this, but that's domestication for ya.
You’re now an official road warrior, only add a cow. Great to see a feisty young woman having adventures and seizing the day. Stay fearless, but always have situational awareness and keep an eye out for what could go wrong.
Thank you for finding positivity in everything and reflecting the same to everyone.. Bless u
I'm sorry for what happened to you. You are amazing and brave women. good luck Eva !
I really enjoyed your video. You are courageous and reaping the benefits of that courage. Your experiences are part of you and no one can take them away from you.
You are so brave to be more than 5km away from a LandRover repair shop! :D
Seriously, you do great work!
You are so beautiful Eva! Who would have thought the cow would freak out. I'm happy it wasn't worse. The defender seems to be really cozy. I love the rooftop tent. You did a great job customizing it. Be safe.
As they say, you leave nature to it's own and don't mess around with it.
Honestly, I am thankful to God your eyes wasn’t affecting
I think this too, it is very close.. cant imagine an eye getting hit by that horn..
there ae dangerous animals and people idee and i think eva is to trusting the amount of people that get murdered are high we live in a fallen world
she should have an alsation dog with her
Don't you hate auto correct spelling
There's no gods, but I am happy that she is okay..
“Always leave it better than you found it.” Such wonderful words to live by. You are a beautiful soul
Bless your heart ❤️, I couldn’t imagine being alone during an episode like that. I’m glad your ok.
Glad you’re OK Eva and love your optimistic outlook. Stay safe!
I have a Discovery 1 and Discovery 2, it’s best to shift gears with the vehicle moving really slow. I normally do it between 1-3 MPH with the transmission in “N” (neutral). Otherwise both of my land rovers do not shift to low range.
You speak to my free spirit... wow
I don't know how to even explain it.
It's like you're me if I had a different life
The true definition of 'living the dream'.
Eva : "I think this is my cue to settle down here for a couple of days"
Me : "What about that cow, it might come back!"
2 minutes later...
You are so brave and are living your best life!❤️🙌🏼 I love that you are living free and in nature. You go girl
I cried at the lavita bella part.....I love you @Eva Zu Beck you are such an inspiration
"As we change, our dreams change" yes, so don't hang on to your dreams too tightly.
Watching your videos is like getting fresh air, it's like meditation for me thank you so much Eva 💜
So thankful you didn't get hurt more worse. You have a gentle heart and soul.
I was literally waiting from last week...finally it's here!!
Me too 😅
Thank you Eva for bringing us to your travel adventure in Europe. Be safe always. God bless you!🙏🙏🙏
Try to get a submersible 12 volt pump. It is a life Saver. My defender has 60 liters of Walter tank which is good for 3 days including a daily shower and Washing the dishes
Love your evergy. Glad I clicked on your feed. Just subscribed and look forward to watching more of your vids on my lunch breaks.
After traveling the world and being around lions, tigers, bears and barbarians you get attacked by a cow. The most comical video you've ever made. Hope you have a speedy recovery and in show business remember animals never follow the script... 😂
Funny Douglas. You never lived on a ranch.
World traveler. Lived a little everywhere. Even a ranch.
Love the Vids. Especially seeing the different cultures through your eyes and interpretation of other cultural realities.
Heal soon. Be safe! Avoid cows... 😎
This cow just not except competition
Except ot accept. I'm confused...🤔
Thats the funniest part Cow
Seriously, cows are no joke. Bill Bryson addressed this in his books. It’s a true hazard in England
I was once threatened and harassed by a squad of menacing hit-cows along a quiet road in rural Scotland. Luckily there was a sturdy fence between them and me. I took a snapshot, which I still have over 30 years later, of all ten or so of them glaring at me.
The crazy thing is that one cow or a group of cows could jump onto the road at any moment if they go crazy, the fence or a bush can't stop them. And they get so abused by humans that would just fair that each kill humans when they can.
more so as dog owners let their dogs harrass the cows
she should have an alsation dog with her
Cows,Buffaloes,Goats,Sheeps,Camels,Horses,Donkeys and asses if angered will make you have a bad time and I speak from experience (particularly my buttock region but let's not discuss that :)
Cute Vegetarian Overland Chick: "Here, cow, here, cow!"
Cow: "Hold my beer".
I just discovered your channel this morning and I've been watching ever since!!! You are AMAZING!!!! Very soothing watching and listening to you, and I am in LOVE with how you appreciate things!!! When you set the lights up how you took time to take it in.... I felt like I was in that moment too!!!! Thank you for your whole presence💚!!!
You would love it here in Australia, ur doing exactly what I always dreamed of I’m so happy I found this channel, I’m getting really good tips and trick from you even tho ur new to this sort of thing I think starting off is the most important part of the adventure
I loved the re-enactment of the near death experience!
You have to be so careful. I live next to a farm and the cows don't mess around. The minute you even look at their babies ...they stare you out. Thank goodness you seem ok. But get it checked at some point. We live in Scotland and the Sheep are the same.
Dear Eva, if low gear doesn't work right away, roll a tiny piece into high gear and then switch to low gear. sometimes it doesn't lock into place when you're standing on a spot. Best regards...... 🥰🌻
Can't wait to do this too in the future❤ I love how you remind us to appreciate the small things which I tend to forget. Also you picking up trash where ever you go speaks how a good human being you are. You are so inspiring! Hope to meet you one day❤ btw, im glad you are okay but the way you told the story was so funny haha take care Eva!
Love that mountain water! On our farm in N.E. Georgia, we have an actual natural Artesian Well flowing up thru the granite. It is cool and so refreshing! AND, CLEAN and PURE WATER!!
14:05 In case of emergency you should alway have superglue, its perfect to seal wound in extreme condition. (By the way cyanoacrylate has been design for that and used during vietnam war)
Again you should think to install lockable hubs to your front wheels in order to drive 4x2 when you are not off-roading ;)
Nice drive. and beach. Thanks goodness you are ok. And don't worry, you're not dying. You've gazillion videos to make. And you can tell'em “Not today!” 😉. For adrenaline rush. Hopefully, you are healing up fast. Stay safe.
Life is all about surviving. You're doing an inspirational work, Eva.
My new favourite youtuber, Love your outlook on life Eva, such an inspiration, best wishes and safe travels from New Zealand, can't wait for the next episode !! :-)
Whenever I see a new video of your adventures, I begin to crave a vacation in a 5 star luxury hotel. Anyway I love your videos! Keep up the good work and thanks again for sharing!
Great attitude...it is what it is. Acceptance, positivity, sense of humor.
The absolute irony sitting on a field cooking outside my camper on day 7 On my way To Montenegro and choosing this for enteraintment 🤣🤣
Honestly eva i laughed at the imagination of you innocently "hand feeding" the cow😆...anyway sorry for the bruise and wish you quick recovery but never underestimate the wildness of a domestic animal😃
Loved this!!! Stay Safe, you’re actually living “life”.
Wow you are something else, good to see you are okay. Really enjoy your vlogs.
