Everyone needs a Seena in their life. This man is the definition of a homie. Always loyal and always there to help.
It's called a friendzoned simp.
Exactly, lol. Man you know he has deep romantic feelings for her. My man is all the way stuck in the friend zone. Well at least she’s fine
@@victorsplayground4406factual
Naw! He’s in friend zone, nothing else but friend zone.
Dudes a complete simp and I feel bad for him
The last two videos have pretty much cured any desire to drive across country again. I think I would only do it in a new vehicle.
Or drive a Land Cruiser not a Land Rover
Love the fact that you hugged your Poe even with all the troubles it gave you. I am a 64 year old man and I have hugged my "Beast" too. I understand...
I pat my cars daily! LOL
Thank GOD you two were traveling together with all these issues! 🙏
I drove Land Rovers for 18 years. They are nothing but trouble. I now drive a Toyota truck and it's great.
I wanted one so bad not worth the headache at my age.
@kevinw1129 Inquiring minds want to understand how land rovers are nothing but trouble per your comment yet you drive them or one a Land Rover for 18 years?!! Make it make sense for us please
People drive what they love. For what RR's have always cost owning one is an adventure in frustration and $$$ spent.
Thankfully you had a friend or two to help. Not many people have that luxury. Car problems really are the worst.
Ya that is nice..I used to get a lot of help then I got older and wiser lol
Everybody I know has that luxury. Most people have friends, Dude.
@@serenityjewelI was gonna say the same thing, like who in tha actual funk doesn't have friends? Unless you're one of those narcissistic pieces of trash that treats everyone like dirt!
@@serenityjewel not 24/7
@@uncontrolledspeech1858 I don't understand what you're saying. If my van broke down, I could call a friend to pick me up and crash at their house until it got fixed. One friend moved back to town with no place to stay so he couch surfed between friends until he found a place. Wouldn't that be 24-7?
I talked to a Landover mechanic when I was thinking about buying one. He said that they are not bad vehicles after you replace every factory part...
Before Ford bought the company they were buller-proof
Fun fact: I seen you guys at in-n-out. Safe travels!
Why didn’t you come help 😂😂😂
Gerry and Seena coming in clutch this week. Terrible 2 weeks highlighted by amazing friends
Meeting you and Seena at Overland Expo, we never would have guessed the previous 48 hours you all endured 😮! Wow! Glad it ended up working out and we met you both and the puppers ❤ Hope you all got a lot of rest those next two nights. Gerry definitely is a hero without a cape! Safe travels out there!
Yes!! Halfway through expo on Saturday I had to take a nap in the AluCab because I was falling asleep talking to people 😂 so good to meet you!!
as a ex british soldier who had to drive the 110 and the snatch army land-rover's for many years you have my full sympathy and full admiration for even attempting this quest 🤣even when we'd get a brand new land-rover from the quarter master there would be issues..but i still think it's brilliant but brave in what your doing..i wish you well on your journey best wishes from the country that cursed you with your land-rover..🥰🥰
She drives an expensive British rhd truck because it's cool in her elitist overlander, content creator circles. What's actually cool is an old Powerwagon swapped with a 12v cummins and a five-speed on 36" tires.
@@deltabravo1811someone's jelly
@@deltabravo1811is that what you got?
I had the old blue & white Series III 88 inch Land Rover and I loved it :)
Super simple vehicles. You could even start mine with a hand crank like an old Model T
I’ve owned 9 series land rovers in my lifetime and have traveled thousands of miles in them cross country. If I could suggest that you get a manual and some basic tools with spare parts the have a tendency to fail. It would help immensely! As you already know, Land Rovers tend to fail on a regular basis and keeping up on their preventative maintenance should minimize brake downs. Love what you’re doing! Cheers, Erik
I loved my Series III 88 inch Land Rover. I bought it in Alaska and I met other Series II and III Rovers( made until 1984 -ish), tell me they had traveling ten million miles in their Rovers. After Ford bought the Rover company it seems to have gone downhill.
“We just passed Redding, Canada” - This is what happens when you have two hours sleep 😂
Yes, that confused me.
Hello!! I've been looking for you.
Redding CA.😂
I recently started binge watching your videos and I can't stop😆. I usually love van/car life channels etc but what sets you apart is your unique and vibrant personality and also your sweet bond with Blue. Please remain the way you are. Love how real you are unlike so many other channels which just show the cool aesthetics or use attention seeking thumbnails and all. Take care and safe travels. Hope that wasn't too cheesy lol.
Well said,I agree 100 💯 percent
I've only just found her channel, and watched most of her Poe videos in just 2 days 😂
@@TheDMZDredd it's so addictive right? I binge watched her videos like a TV series 😂
She should have given you a heart for this comment. I'm sending you a heart!!!
@@brendatrump5163 hehe aww thank you😊😘
OMG! what an ordeal..So glad you made it in one piece but Seena had me laughing out loud. And you went through my town in Cali. Sacramento?!! what!!!? Did you break down there? I would have brought you guys coffee and donuts..Hope you can rest up and destress from now on. Big hugs! Thanx Seena for being a supportive and chill friend to my girl! You rock! both of you :)
Thank goodness you and Seena had each other during all that! I hope the next 2 weeks are one great memory after another!
Love what you do. Thank you for sharing your adventures, especially things like this. So glad you made it!
Thank you!
Shoutout to Gerry & OC Rovers for getting our favorite two campers back on the road! Glad you got through it!
The spirit exhibited by both of you is unbelievable! I drive a 1998 Jeep, so I understand the reality of breakdowns etc, however, this would have been very trying. Keep the great attitude and keep going. Enjoyed the honesty of the video. It's not all glamorous.
Maria, you have no shortage of fortitude! I salute you for your drive to march on. 👍
I admire you for your determination and perseverance, We in the Marine Corps say: Improvise, Adapt,and Overcome. Happy trails and be safe.
respect this Woman's transparency through all she goes through - This is what the actual success journey looks like, if your not ready to fail you'll never be deserving of the success that wait on the other side. and yes, its hard.. but worth it
Marry that man. Seena is the real deal. Any man willing to go on life adventures like that, knows how to cook and is always there for you. Damn girl! What more do you need! Glad you made it to Expo.
I’ll get married the day I find a man as loyal as I am. Probably gonna be 65yo lol
@@roamingreckless I know how you feel. I've been single for more of my life than I have been in a relationship. 🙄 I'm fast approaching 60. 🤷♀️
Kudos to your friends An over 300,000 miles Landcruiser to the rescue. 👍 If PO is only capable of 60 65mph on the Interstate consider re gearing it depending on what type of driving/cruising is typical for you. Toyota vehicle's rock... Be safe have fun...
Life long Toyota owner. My Camry has has over 250K and still keeps on running.
Holy cow, dude. When it rains, it pours. Glad you’re still in one piece and moving along after that 💪! Expo looked like fun!!
Dedication. Gotta love old Rovers.
Love this channel. Thanks for laughs. Your smile still stayed even through the week you had. Thanks for all you do
I think Seena would beg to differ 😂 I definitely got grumpy and stressed during that week
@@roamingreckless Yeah Seena lost his mind a little there lol. Keep your chin up you are making amazing videos and are an amazing person ❤
I love Seena. He’s such a great man. I hope Maria realizes how wonderful he is and treats him well. I was holding my breath through all of this💕. Love you two
Seena is amazing, loyal, and so patient. Unfortunately, women like Ria will only use him and leave him in the friendzone 🤷🏻♂️
Would have never happened in a Toyota Sequioa...just saying. All kidding aside, I 'm sorry you went through all that crap. It sucks to have car problems and sucks even more for the amount you had to cough up but I am so happy you made it to the expo on time and in one piece.
So sorry this happened . Congrats in making it to the Expo.
Just remember, regardless of the vehicle you're in , we're here to watch you & Blue
Yes 100% I love you Maria & Blue. Doesn't matter the vehicle!! I am here for the journey.
You have an incredible friend. Lucky!
You guys were gonna make Seena’s ego even bigger with all these comments 😂
The dogs face in the morning has me dead 😂 "This isnt permanent is it? 😐"
I’m sure you already know how blessed you are to have Seena in your life and you in his. Cheers to better fortunes with Poe
Your HOME is getting towed 😳
Literally lol
Prayers for a smoother and less stressful journey. Hang in there Maria.
I had the exact same problem with my Defender’s clutch here in Australia, 6hrs into a 2 week driving holiday. And that resulted in me getting the transmission and transfer case rebuilt, and my mechanic decided to take out the engine, change the engine mounts and radiator while he was at it…. So I feel your pain both financially and with stress. Thankfully the issues you’ve had fixed will be good for many many years. The joys of Land Rover ownership :)
Wow! Sorry you went through all that. Glad you got through it and made it. Very happy you had each other to support each other because break downs are super stressful, especially with your schedule.
This was on heck of a episode girrrrl!!!
Lol I meant one! Auto correct darn!😆
So glad Seena is there to support you. ❤ Hopefully your luck Wil change.
Great job you're a rockstar Maria you got through a tough one you and Seena pulled it off and made it thanks for sharing the good and the bad of the lifestyle can't wait to see what's next
Ria so sorry to see you going through all this, but happy you made the expo. Thanks for being real and showing life on the road can be rough, but you have also had lots of rewards too with your wonderful trips. Keep your chin up girl and know we love your videos.
So much bad luck but so much good luck too! One of them being Seena being with you and doing his best to help and you both have youth on your side!
Everyone are now converted to Seena fans as well. He's the friend we all deserve. And a friendship like you two have. Thank you for sharing the reality, I couldn't help but feel the anxiety even though I know everything turned out well in the end.
Glad everyone was safe, that is the most important thing. Thanks for being real and reminding people about the reality of being on the road. I see lots of people quick to call this car junk, but poe is still kicking well despite being an almost 30 year old car and he's been doing great for a while. Old cars can have these issues. My brother has an old car and it actually just got out of the mechanic! I hope the pups were comfy and enjoyed the expo! ❤
With 65K miles, that is no good
Wow! That was a lot! I would have had an emotional breakdown. This is a testament of your will, strength, and dedication. I just gotta say…You GO GURL! Also, much appreciation to Seena for sticking with you through this ordeal, and his own mechanical problem. You guys work great together as a team. 👍🏽
Omg! Wow, u went thru a lot and Seena too. Man it took a lot of determination and dedication to make it to the overland expo. Congratulations for making it. I could of never made it. Poe should be good now! You need some good rest now! Thanks for showing all sides of roaming reckless! Great video!
A normal person would've folded under those circumstances but you hung tough and didn't let the adversity break you. My hats off to you. Looking forward to your next video.
Man! You guys, when it rains, it pours! That was a lot to go through. So glad when it was all said and done, you guys were safe and sound! Thanks for letting us join you through the tough times too🙏🏻😁
Life is nothin if not real. Sometimes, it’s not meant to go our way. Sometimes we’re meant to learn something. What did you learn? It would seem an incredibly big and important part of this story is how awesome it is to have real friendships. You and Seena had each other’s backs. That … is awesome!!
Oh my gosh!!! So glad you had each others back for this. Safe travels❤❤
You keepin it real is why you've got my sub, Maria. Love it. Never change.
Awesome determination and perseverance ! You go gurl....
I would never have made it through your day without losing it. So glad you made it to your destination safe and sound-and on time! Tomorrow will be awesome!👍
I remember that pain hun! Glad you are making light of it and im glad you have amazing friends!
Hate to say it but those trucks are endless money pitts! Good luck!
As stressful as it was, I'm really happy you made it to the Expo! I'm sure it was very validating being able to show off your baby, even though it was dirty, it looked damn sexy with the top popped up and everything setup for show.. With how shitty the last few weeks were, it just means when times are good you'll appreciate them that much more! Thanks for sharing! you're awesome, love your content!
It doesn't matter what you look like Maria ; you have spirit . God bless you and Blue .
You're amazing Maria- you just don't ever quit and that's admirable! Just as a side thought, I hope your influence on your friends + people in your life make them start adopting dogs instead of buying after the underdogs series
I love you and Seena's friendship. It's wonderful having a friend like that... each one just "gets" the other. ❤
If I can be an old lady for one second(im 62 😂.)... I cringe when I see him tie out his pup to the vehicle. No finger-pointing or judging. I'm just paranoid and all.
Again, I love you BOTH and the doggies, too ❤️ ❤❤
Have fun all of you.
Long time fan in Maine.
Great to see you back on the road and picking yourself up. Keep smiling
I like that you make your videos about real life, the good & the bad and everything in between! You’re an Awesome person and your videos are my favorites 😊 I sure hope POE doesn’t have anymore major issues & thankfully you’ve got such good friends 😊😊😊
Maria, thanks for showing us everything (the ups & downs). I hope some of your fans can donate some money to you.
You are truly inspiring. Despite all of the problems you remained upbeat throughout. All best from Canada.
Maria, fasionista icon! Sending love yall... ❤
Who knew watching vehicles break down could be so entertaining! Safe travels to all!
So glad I found your channel, Your adventures are so fun to watch. Good luck!
I'm glad that you were able to make it to the destination and glad Seena was there with you, which I'm sure helped logistically and mentally. He's a great friend. I think it's great that you show this side of nomadic living, it's easy to romanticize the freedom, travelling to beautiful weather, seeing amazing sights, but you do a great job of reminding people that cars break down, roads can be hazardous, space is limited, you can't just park and sleep wherever you want, etc, etc, etc.
I loved Seena Cam and how adorable was it when Blue was looking out the back window at Seena while travelling? I hope someday someone looks at me like that, LOL. 🥰 Safe travels to you both!
WOW ! That was epic !
I am so glad you show all sides of living in Poe ! Keeping it real !
And after all that and Poe was fixed, Then Seena broke down ! If it wasn't for bad luck in this two weeks, You wouldn't have had any luck at all !😅
But ! Well Done !
And let's hope Poe is good from now on ! 🤞
Love and Blessings to You and Yours 🤗🙏🐾
So glad it all worked out in the end. I know mechanical issues such especially when it’s your home. At least you got to expo so it all ended well. Glad to see that Seena is getting more comfortable on camera. He has such a funny sense of humor. You’ve got a really great friend and I’m glad you are both there for each other. The road can be a dangerous place especially when you travel out into the desert alone. ❤
So glad you had Seena along for the ride! Hate all the bad luck you had but looks like you are back in the saddle! Have fun at the Expo!
Glad POE is sorted and u and Blue r safe.
I didn’t skip any ads! Just doing my part to help you recoup some of your funds, lol
Hi Maria and what a vlog?!?! Your start to finish was amazing and that you made it to expo at all. I liked the part where you said about being towing into the expo. The folks looking at Poe seemed to enjoy your build, had to make you happy. Take care and safe travels.
Love love your videos.. I feel like I’m right there with you .. Seena is a Godsend ❤… it would have been good to see you cry.. reality.. glad you at least told us you cried.. gives me courage.. I travel in a short bus.. you guys rock..
Maria, I’m so sorry, girl! Blue and Duncan are my new dog crushes, btw. I love you and seena doing adventuring stuff together, so keep it up!
Seena is the cutest! Not just cute, but kind, considerate, caring, genuine !
Your friend might have AC but you have beauty and that will take you much farther than coolness . Good luck sweetie .
@20:15 Redding is in California, not Canada. If you went to Canada, you missed the expo location in Oregon 😂😂
I had a weekend similar to this in my Astro van driving from California to oregon… 200mile tows.. holiday weekend.. multiple mechanic visits. Issue after issue. Nightmare. I don’t think your video portrays how stressful a situation like that can be. Thanks for sharing your experience :)
You are so pretty & have such a good personality it’s contagious
Thank gawd you had an extra 10k to fix the problem. A lot of us don't have that kind of money.
Hope you are doing well out there.
Everyone needs an emergency budget of at least $10,000. Without it, one should stay put!
@@kathleenholt6008 In this economy, you are correct.
Just know. A lot of us in this country aren't privileged. We work very hard for a living just to make ends meet.
I sure enjoy your video. I live vicariously through videos like yours.
Glad y’all made it safely at least Maria. Glad Seena got his all worked out also. You are a bad ass Maria. Beautiful strong woman. Your luck will turn around now.
No wonder you looked exhausted in all the photos people posted from the expo - respect for doing what you had to do in order to make it to the expo. And respect to Seena for everything he did.
It's so valuable to have great friends and the puppies enjoy hanging together as well ❤
That's so awesome of Seena to be there during the struggles with Poe. At least now Poe got some new parts and you don't have to worry about those things for a few more years at least 🎉
This channel is awesome!!!
If it weren't for bad luck you would have no luck at all. It helps to have friends like yours. Good luck on your continuing travels.
Good Friends Like Seena is Awesome! Im glad you got Poe Back and Trucking Again! Safe Trips
I’d get something you don’t need to worry about. We all have our dream vehicles but is it worth all the frustration it’s your home it needs to be correct. Good luck
We are glad both your rigs are fixed and glad ya'll made it safely to the EXPO. Continued safe travels.
So glad you've gotten Poe fixed!
You must travel safely with piece of mind.
Hoping you are able to relax now.

You are such a strong woman and you are never far from a smile or a laugh, Thats Why you are the best and qutest vanlifer there is. Hang in there miss positive 😊 ❤
Cena is such a solid friend! Love the dual cams! ❤
WOW, I'm not cut out for that kind of life. Shout out to you and how brave you are. Blue is adorable 🥰
Dude car problems are the worst! Ugh I’m sorry you had to deal with all that. Seena is a great friend and I’m glad you had him with you for support.
Really enjoy watching your travels❤ take care and keep being yourself🖐🏽
You’re a trooper. Nothing can stop you. Hey tough lady, I love your channel!💓❤️🥰
Not me dropping everything to watch the video! 😳
Been hoping for this all week! But OMG, the title of
this, yikes! 💰💸💴💵 I really feel your pain here!!
So wonderful to see you and Blue though🐺🐾
OK,I have a Land Rover Discovery 4, 2013. V8, I love it. My target vehicle before I bought the LR4 was the GX 470 but all the frames were rotten. My LR4 was from Virginia and one owner. I'm sticking with the LR4. After 2 years, it's been awesome with no issues. Please keep wearing your glasses, so hot!!
Omg that was crazy Maria @!!!!I can't believe you could even smile or laugh 😢😂after that so glad you made it to expo but damm at a very high expense 😢😢😢😢 Love you girl be safe a next week's got to be better 🎉😮❤
