❤️
Omg!
Just found you guys on think media. I wish I spent more time in Nicaragua love the vid.
“...cursing her way down the volcano” lol that was prey funny. What an amazing view from up there. Looks like fun but maybe not so good for your shoes? The Cathedral was beautiful. Fun episode
Well that was not as scary as I had imagined. Thanks for taking us !
I hot to experience this awesome moment..no regrets in cerro negro!! Nicaragua is awesome to do bucket list
Super surfing sulfur smelling slopes!
As always great video guys.
Gleaned a bit of vicarious pleasure from your volcano adventures! As always thanks for sharing!
I've gotta get south one of these days. Looks amazing
It is. 😁
😎🌮👍
beautiful place and vlog, the food looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing :)
Easy pezy lifestylin...
Great stuff guys, & I'm digging the music too !
Where are you guys currently ?
We are in California, USA. We got jobs and are hoping to $ave up and be back on the road by the time I finish editing our Trip to Panama.
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal is it illogical to purchase a van in Mexico for a trip through the Americas ?
@@hurricanealley8602 You may be able to get a cool model there that you can't get in the USA, but I don't know about the logistics of purchasing a vehicle there and leaving the country with it if you are not a Mexican citizen. I think that USA also has a larger used car market, so you may be able to get a used van for cheaper if that is what you are looking for. I guess it depends what country you are from.
So where did you guys stop before coming back home?
@@ban88one we turned around in
Panama and drove back to the usa. We revisited some of our favorite spots and checked out a bunch of stuff that we missed on our way south
Was Ernesto still around, great video
I don't think we met Ernesto
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal he is the owner of Los Cocos, a nice guy
Shower w frog lol.
Hello and thanks for sharing your journey.
I wanted to make sure I under you correctly Re your comments concerning staying with the truck 🛻.... is there a significant issue with theft from vehs,,, so it was important to always be able to keep an eye on “your stuff”....?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Rob.
We were concerned about our vehicle being broken into. Particularly when left on the street in cities at night. As a foreign vehicle we think we are a more tempting target and we had everything we owned in that truck, so it would be pretty devastating if someone did break in.
But we never did have any issues with theft on our entire trip.
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal - cool. Yes that was my impression but didn’t want to assume. I just invested in a business in Nic in the Esteli area. Hoping to get there to spend some time in country once things with the pandemic get more under control and less worries about getting back to my family (not getting stuck in Nic away from them.)
Thanks for sharing your journey!🤙🏾
@@robh6854 Congrats on the business Rob. Hope things clear up and you can get down there soon.
Which company for the boarding you guys use ?
Hello¡¡¡ a quick question, how you guys prepare budget per day on your trip???
We saved up for 3 years and budgeted $50 USD per day. Sometimes we go over that (like when the car breaks down) but then we get extra tight and get back on budget over time.
Those frogs actualy look like toads.
I believe you are correct
Hi,
You said many time parking and security for the car. Any tips for us ? Did you try police station and ask them keep an eye for the exchange a donation to police department ?
We often found restaraunts at the beaches with showers and restrooms that would let us camp as long as we ate meal there each day. We never stayed at police stations, but we know some people who did. The police station in Antigua, Guatemala is a popular one for travelers.
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal Thanks . I'm still working on plan what to visit in span 2-3 weeks and more likely stay at San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua fo week. Unfortunately we don't have so much time and have to come back to work in VA. But we did many trip around country 5 thousands miles in two week, and Newfoundland, Quebec. So I'm crazy driver. But with your video you are gave to me a kind idea to see things. Tell me I'm crazy ; from Brownsville TX to
Playa De Tamiahua Veracruz (if its safe) or Mexico city, than visit Tolantongo, Palenque (or on way back), Lago internacional, would like visit Maya Biosphere Reserve and area, but I'm afraid it's not enough time as need go thru Belize ( may be leave for next trip ) as we want got Yucatan and Bacalar. Definitely want to go to Volcán de Atitlán. Than cross to Honduras near Corinto and drive thru country in one day. I definitely needed a save camp near Honduras border was looking at Puerto Barrios, or Finca EL Paraíso. Or your suggestion.
After crossing Nicaragua at CA6 Hwy and get camp at Balneario Delia. Termales if it's save.
After visit some sites Reserva Natural Complejo Volcánico… and Cerro Negro.Than continue thru Leon to coast and camp in few places until reach Playa Maderas and stay there for week, visit sites around . And Leave Costa Rico and Cancun area for next time , unfortunately
@@phlfly10 If I understand you, your plan is to drive from Texas to Nicaragua in 3 weeks?
This can e done, but it is a lot of driving and you will have to skip so many awesome places. I would recommend spending all of your time in Mexico. We spent 8 months there and still didn't go to every state.
If you decide to drive to Nicaragua in that short amount of time, then I say you have a good rout planned. something to keep in mind is that road conditions force you to drive slower down there and we don't recommend driving in the dark. If you use the toll roads through eastern/central Mexico you will find the driving easy and fast. The roads are good in the Yucatan area. once you hit Chiapas on your way south west from the Yucatan the roads get real bad. The highway leading south through Guatemala to el salvador on the coastal low lands is good and easy, but you will likely be going up through the mountains to Atitlan and then to Honduras. These roads are mostly good but winding with lots of steep hills and make sure you ask around to other travelers before going to Atitlan because that area is known for having violent crime on some of the back roads. The highways in Honduras were generally bad through the central and western part of the country. The main highways in Nicaragua are mostly good, but there is no real costal road, so you must drive back to the highway then back out to the next beach each time you move.
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal I was not looking to go thru El Salvador. I was thinking to to take Thru San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa to Nicaragua.
@@phlfly10 We skipped el salvador and drove through more of Honduras on the way north. It saves you a border crossing but it requires driving worse roads through more mountainous terrain and congested cities. Go with the rout that has more desirable attractions for you
Que pena ver cosas asi en mi país, ese baño tan sucio😢
Disfrutamos de Nicaragua. que hermoso pais
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal
Que bien, bienvenidos siempre!
That’s how you get a throat full of ash
Does Lyndsey need a traveling partner?? ;-)
"Need" might be a strong word. ;)
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal Bad choice of that one word. All in good fun!🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@phisher812 Of course! Always in good fun
Que vergüenza ese baño. Y estuvo bien que lo en ceñaran, así les da vergüenza a los dueños y lo compone, con azulejos como debe de ser.
The volcano scenes had me sitting closer to the edge of my seat...super happy that y'all survived 😊
Ironically, I'm currently camped out on the side of an old magma maker just north of Flagstaff...practicing for Expo 😉 Hope to see y'all there.
Nice. We'll be there. We are going to be camped in the DIY area this year and participating on a couple of roundtable groups. Come say hi and grab some stickers if you have the time👍
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal I'll be sure to stumble by and say howdy...plus, I've gotta meet the new-ish fur-baby 😊
Y'all travel safe...see ya soon
