    Good morning Snow and Curt 🌞 what a nice surprise on a chilly Tuesday morning, a new video! Africa, wow, that's so exciting. My favourite videos of yours was your escapades in South and Central America. I loved all the wildlife and how you were always visiting non-touristy locales. Although Machi Picchu is definitely on my bucket list to see.
    Thanks for this top 10 list, my hubby and I will be starting our van build in the summer and I know some of these items will be making it on our shopping list. Safe travels, 🤗🇨🇦🙏

    Wow, I cannot believe it’s been five years. What a heck of a journey so far and next I’m so excited you’re taking me to Africa. Can’t wait. I love that translator you showed. I might have to get me one of those. I just bought a dash cam and had it installed this week, similar to the one you have. I would love to have one of them scooters. Thanks for the special video see you on the next one. Stay safe❤

    Great video. I'm in my second month of full time van life. I'm not a UA-camr (yet), and when I am, it will most likely be just videos for friends and family. It is nice to know, however, how to achieve the start (until I learn editing) of how these wonderful little films are mad.

    My favorite item in your van, is the Hawkins stove-top pressure cooker. You showed it a fews years back and I purchased a small one.I liked it so much, I bought a larger one - then one for my daughter and another for our family cottage in Maine.

      @SnowAndCurt  7 днів тому +1

      I just have a lil stylish one that I picked up from target... With my heart condition, it's very rare that I add any extra weight. I mainly use it when we go to the grocery store... And carry all of the lite and fluffy stuff 🤣

    Most useful thanks. Really interested in your Africa trip and how far you can get, UA-camr ‘Itchy Boots’ is a useful resource, Noralie is a female motorcyclist who has done that trip in her Africa series. We spent 6 weeks in Morocco in the camper, awesome place, planning our trip to Tunisia early next year, travel is so rewarding.

    • @SnowAndCurt
      @SnowAndCurt  7 днів тому +1

      We follow itchy boots! We are excited to see how far we can get... if we cannot drive the whole way, then we will return to Europe for a bit to finish it and then ship to South Africa! But, I know we can get far enough to see some great wildlife! And we are excited about Morocco as well!

    Ow u coming to my continent and of course my country. I'm right down south, on the eastern tip of the southern coast of SOUTH AFRICA. Look for Port Elizabeth. The famous Garden route starts here and goes thru to cape Town. The most scenic drive all along the coast. Where u can experience the big five, and go whale watching, see ostrich farms. Plse contact me I'd love to meet up with you..
