I've been thinking about sharing my thoughts on travel with you for a little while. I have a complicated relationship with the concept of travel sometimes, especially organized tourism - despite the obvious value it can bring to people, it has aspects that bug me. So I've tried to express *some* of that in this video. Hope you enjoy the adventure 🏔🚜
You should chalk your tires before you go to sleep in you vehicle. AKA buy wheel chalks or put large rocks/wood in front of and behind each tire so if for some reason your emergency brake gives out you don't slowly go rolling off the side of a mountain while inside asleep. ( I hear those vehicles can be unreliable that's why I drive a Toyota FJ Cruiser.) haha ;)
I am following along with you on your journey and enjoy every episode; I look forward with anticipation to every new post. I wonder, can you share any thoughts about your mental health and philosophize about moving about/away, isolated, while your audience remains in lockdown or neighbourhood-isolation?
My dear Eva, I‘m bawling here full of joy and sadness at once. My mother came from that area, her childhood house looks exactly like that house in the video and I remember spending summers there during my childhood in the 70es and 80es, riding on donkeys and playing with my cousins. My parents met in Istanbul and immigrated to Germany in 1972 so I was born in Berlin. But this magic place full of beauty and history, filled with stories of lives, heart opening nature, fındık and çay is and has always been in my heart. I lost my beloved and wonderful Anne a few years ago and I miss her every day. Seeing the places she grew up at makes me melancholic and wakes all my senses. She was quite adventurous as well, I know she would‘ve loved the way you live… Lots of love from Berlin… ♥️
Selam Selda. It's unbelievable after reading your comment, I share similar experiences as you. And what is so remarkable is that I have never visited Turkey as im from Australia born and raised here, but my mother who passed away 4 years ago, would always tell me about her childhood and how she grew up in these beautiful green villages, and how they used to herd the animals, collect their firewood and bake their bread. I won't lie, I did also cry seeing this video cause it reminded me of my mum. May they rest in peace, God willing I want to travel to those places and experience first-hand my mum's village, but I don't know if I can pull through, cause I know im going to be an emotional wreck. 😭😭😭
@@muhammedPies, who knows our mums could be celebrating right now and drinking some black tea together somewhere… What a rich childhood they must have had, despite all the exhaustion that such a land brings with it. Nur içinde yatsınlar… 🤍
Eva i think the key to your channel being so popular is not only amazing spots you are showing but your philosophical comments that highlight life as beautiful, meaningful and deep!
Me and my boyfriend (he's Turkish and knows these mountains very well) hiked from Ayder to this last village Yukarı Kavrun just few days ago and we were the only people there that day. Today I came back to my country (Poland) and it's such a nice feeling to see these places again in your video... I've been watching your videos for long time and you're great inspiration. Thanks!
You know sometime in life we wake up in unfamiliar places just like how Eva opens her door and finds herself at strange place but beautiful. That's just how life should be. Carry that curiosity in life and make yourself a stranger. Surprises will comes to you everytime when you open your door.
Love your videos, Turkey is such a gem! My wife and I spent a month bouncing around Turkey several years ago and absolutely loved it. The landscape is so beautiful and the we met some of the most amazing and hospitable people.
Around the 7 minute marker, when Eva mentions taking the road less traveled, I had a real real sense of wandering, not aimlessly, but led by the road, by the Spirit, and being thrilled with where I end up. So so good.
"There are places in the world where the feeling of being there is much more powerful than what your eyes get to see". What a profound truth that is. Felt it for myself one day on an overlook above Navajo Monument in Arizona. It was beautiful but not the most beautiful place I had seen on that trip, but it brought me to my knees with tears in my eyes for reasons I can only guess at. So yes, that statement is profoundly and literally true.
You really are awakening that desire for adventure in me. Never knew Turkey had such lush, green places and I never knew I'd actually consider buying some truck to travel with!
Your videos make me relive the time I traveled around Europe and lived in a large rental car. I did the same in Turkey and went from Istanbul to Alanya to Izmir. Absolutely breathtaking. I have also traveled the whole USA including Alaska & Hawaii. Australia as well. What I love about your adventures is that yours is ongoing and the road goes on and on.
@@evazubeck it sure was! Do you plan on driving into Russia? I am tempted to do a journey across Asia by way of Siberia and through China. I wish I can rent a car but they don't even want it crossing outside the EU I guess I could buy a used car and drive it across Asia and end the trip in Vietnam, scrap the car and fly to my next journey. I would do this this type of trip from USA to the end of South America I believe Ushaia but driving through alot of those countries are Dangerous such as Mexico, Honduras and parts of South America.
Thank you heaps for taking us with you in your fantastic trips, for all of us that for some reason can't travel but want to! Your view an opinions are so down to earth, and, despite you belong to ones of the most recent technology sprouts, you fill the gap and take the rawness off your adventures to us, all around the world. You're a freaking real hero, you give face to real. Many of us wish to be able to travel like you, away from tours or big comforts, or away from the mental sickness of Hollywood and Disney. You draw the line. Also your production! Be guarded and all your paths be safe and sunny!
The Defender is capable of driving over those rocks. Just go slow. Way less risky than tempting a washout so close to the edge. I'd rather have a dented rocker panel than rolling down that mountain. Keep safe and thanks for the content. You've really become an excellent vlogger. Cheers.
The 110 Deefer is one of the most capable 4WDs around. It could easily tackle the places Eva has been nervous about. But she's right. She's alone and out of comms. I wonder why she doesn't get StarLink RV.
I think her videos are interesting but she stresses how she's all ALONE (like in the title here). But, it just doesn't seem that's true in the filming. For example, I've only watched up to the 7 min mark in this one. Look at, 6:38 she gets in her car to drive off then gets out and runs to the camera at 6:45 and then the camera is showing her drive off at 6:50. I've seen a lot of shots like that. So, I'm kind of thinking she brings a camera crew. I don't really care if she's alone or not, but just that she's always making such a point of it, seems a bit off.
Thank you my dear Eva! Life does belong to the brave! To those who choose to live life to the fullest and to not fear what is ahead! Continue to press on and to share your amazing adventures with us! 🙏♥️
Wonderful trip! Turkey doesn’t get the best press so nice to hear what it’s like on the ground. Everyone seemed to be so sound. Loving this adventure. Keep those wheels turning!
We truly enjoy your energy, cultural adventures and acceptance of all you encounter as blessings to carry for a lifetime. May you always be safe and well fed. Glad to know such a traveling tradition is carried on by a young one. Your videos are truly works of art and learning. Thanks
This place is beautiful. Turkish hospitality is awesome.. People are so kind and generous. Of course you're a brave woman. And... Thanks for sharing your story it was nice seeing it.
"Remember, that the world belongs to the brave!" And also don`t forget: "Leave it better than you found it!" - two of my favorite quotes from adventurer Eva zu Beck... ;)
So glad to see everything sorted out with Odyssey! I have been wondering and anxiously waiting for a new video. So ruggedly beautiful. Thank you for taking us along. Stay safe and GOD bless
This video was rich in content and value and I'm glad I subscribed to you on Patreon. This is quality of life since I can't really travel while taking care of my older mother who's 78. Your videos are full of hope and adventure and a kind of purity of humanity and i love it. Thank you for bringing that to me and to all of us really.
Eva, you are so inspiring and relatable I love your adventures and how you choose the locations and how you don't follow the stereotypes! Admire your bravery! All the best!
That’s why I came to Turkey in jan of 2020, and now permanently living in Istanbul, with a summerhouse in Ayvalik. Love it here, and the Turkish hospitality is fabulous the world over!!
@@herksen indeed also i love turkey, i am from Albania,you definitely should come and visit Albania to.And its not expensive at all.All the best to you
From an other overlander to Eva: Thanx! This episode is the best I have seen describing overlanding. Greetings from Sweden and the Swedish Expedition Society, SWES!💚
I'm born in the Netherlands and have been living in Sweden for many years. Been travelling a bit here and there and unless you go really off-road you don't need an overlander, the worst dirt roads are better than High ways in many other countries. I drove mainly small and dirt roads from Simrishamn to Johanisholm from there E45 to Jokkmokk took me 2.5 weeks but we made it, me and my dog. (our transportation vehicle) ua-cam.com/video/a7os1u_XL2k/v-deo.html .
beautiful Eva! As always but I love your words of how full it is to travel without having everything planned. It is really so amazing to just explore, sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want but that is part of the adventure and sometimes it works out more than you even dreamed. I love that you travel on your own, you have such an independent spirit, but I love seeing you and Mike travel together too, both are wonderful!!
OMW Eva, I cannot get enough of your stories, I am beyond fascinated and I derive such great pleasure to see the world through your eyes, Thank you! I dream of travelling through Turkey, I Ive been there once and cannot wait to go back one day Insha Allah..Keep on inspiring, you are brilliant at what you do. Please come visit South Africa, especially Cape Town,you will absolutely love it
Awwww, I love you Eva! You are so adventurous and brave. I know you are human, with fears and shortcomings like all of us, but you press on to rise above that, which is what makes you so wonderful to watch. (I hope that is taken positively, as I mean it that way.) And I LOVE when Odyssey was MUDDY! That is when a vehicle looks the most beautiful... when it is covered in mud! :-) I actually paused the video to write that, and then after writing I started it again and heard what you said about how you love it, and how it represents serendipity....yes! And for me, it means that you (and your vehicle...in this case, Odyssey...) are really LIVING! You are getting out there, off the beaten track, not worrying so much about how things LOOK, but seeking more for how things ARE, how things FEEL...how things can BE. Real life is messy; enjoy it! And yes, you might not see everything, as you said, but you might just see enough...and maybe that "enough" is more meaningful... in other words, you might not get to see all that you WANT, but you will see all that you NEED, and it never was about getting everything that you wanted, but about experiencing all that you NEED. Keep going girl. You rock. :) (And yes, I loved the different take on your narration - all the thoughts on your travels. I hope to see more! Great work!)
"there are some places in the world where you feeling of being there are more powerful that what the eyes can see" - Eva Zu Beck I love this saying, thank you :D
Some of what you said near the beginning reminded me of something that was said on a different travel UA-cam channel. I think it may have been Kara & Nate since they got me into travel UA-cam, but they said that there's a difference between travelling and taking a vacation. What most people do when they travel is actually just take a vacation. It's nice to take a break & get away from it all, and that's what those tour companies & all-inclusive resorts are for. But it's a different, and more rewarding experience to actually travel.
Brilliant. You have grown in confidence after that break down. Nice to watch and the way you drew people to yourself and they relate to you is unique to you, a really great quality especially for a traveller
I Do so love seeing your adventures, and living vicariously in them. Your talent for making such adventures, is Brilliant, and Inspiring. You are indeed quite ... Remarkable. Many Thanks
This was magnificent, joyful, inspiring and so relaxing 😌 thank you so much for sharing your adventures and PLEASE keep sharing your thoughts… that was absolutely wonderful
new subscriber!! loving your adventures! Such beautiful peaceful locations around the world. This is living. I've lived in places like this, moved to the city for a fake "better" life and now back in the wilderness where true living is.
welcome back to Nature!! I too live in the wilderness after traveling and growing up in crazy busy city. It's nice to come to Eva's channel here, she's showing a very tangible alternative perspective on how to journey through life. AND it's not always glamourous! Obstacles do manifest! Sometimes the soul needs these long journey's in order to experience life, and actually grow until AH HA that purpose of self is realized. I look forward to seeing where her journey's take her... and I think it's cool that you found the space she hold here on youtube. Definitely special. Best wishes to you Tony!
It is always such a joy to watch your video Eva, and that mostly because I know that I would never travel like this personally, so seeing you do it bravely and freely with a gorgeous smile on your face just makes me so happy watching your adventures! Lots of love! xx
Absolutely, the world belongs to the brave like Eva. No people was there in the chilled mountain but the your friends like company, brave heart, will power and indomitable spirit and passion to explore were there to acknowledge you. Really, Eva, the mesmerizing beauty of the landscape garnished with your loving awesome narration has made the portrait unbelievable. Thank you Eva .
Iran and Lebanon have snowfall every year. I'm not sure about the other countries in the middle east. Likewise, perception about India is, it's very hot. A lot of people from other countries are just as surprised to know that it snows in india
Omoooo , You are so inspiring Miss Eva❤ You are so brave and with great adventures. Been watching your vlogs and they are all amazing! I'm just watching it but it feels like I'm also traveling. The world is so beautiful to explore . Stay safe always!
Transfer your philosophical thoughts to life as one big journey and one has the answer to the big question. "A willingness to take risks and learn and explore. Don't be afraid of travelling boldly to carve your own path. Don't worry about not seeing everything. You might just see enough and maybe that enough is even more meaningful". It gives me a chill. Thanks Eva.
You are a great presenter and travel film maker, you, Bald and Syifa are at top level standard for these types of film showing such places most of the veiwers will never be able to go to for practical reasons...but are very interesting just to see on a film.
what Eva said is that there is a fine line between courage and stupidity..what i said is that i agree..also that it was a funny way to say it..what Socrates said in a nutshell is that sometimes it`s a good idea to be cautious..i agree
I've always watching your videos because I inspired you being a traveller and a vloger at the same time. Soon, I will be like you, travelling around the world, Eating different kind of foods, getting to learn/know their cultures, and etc. That's my ambition in life. "To be a traveller". Take care, Eva! 😘
I love this so much, it definitely sparks something within me, something that sadly I forgot about. I'm quite a new subscriber and very glad I found you!
It's good that you already cook wrap, they can be combined in thousands of ways. Beautiful places, and the trip is amazing. Thank you very much Eva. Greetings from Argentina.
Eva, thank you for inspiration. I am struggling with deciding to travel permanently, because a lot of doubts. And you make me strong. My van is thankfull too :) And wraps... Of course! How could I not think about it!
5:15 to 5:36 I love hearing this I respect anyone who can do this. I don't think I could I find a way or figure it out or be happy without certain things. I love hearing about this.
@@dogandogan1652 i think that stereotype comes from the fact that Turks are muslims and they came from central Asia. But obviously place where Turks live now is mostly European.
You're so brave and courageous! This was one of my favorite videos that you've made because it's truly raw. No specieal effects needed. No "picture perfect" destinations. Simply just curiousty mixed with adventure and courage which produced the raw, roller-coaster emotions that came through the camera lens.
You’re such a great story teller😘❤️ I just love how you narrate your adventures , your experiences, your story and on how you describe places ❤️ .. God bless and be safe!!
Wooo😍😍that's what i like too ,the first time i watched her videos ,i fell in love with her voice ,i kept telling my sister that i like the way she narrates her adventures with that amazing voice.
Enjoy your travels. The sights and people you find make me envious of your travels. I have watched three videos taken in Turkey and intend to watch more of your wonderful travels
I absolutely love how positive your content is. Its a rare message in how to find peace, joy, awe and wonder in the world wherever you are. Thanks for the content.
Hi Eva, You're a brave girl , but living an incredible life so good for you! As a TD5 owner of almost 15 years, I can give you some tips on keeping the "Deefer" on the road...though you've probably heard them all! Keep the fuel tank at least 1/4 full , the pump is in there and relies on fuel to keep it cool and lubricated! Carry a spare crank angle sensor and plug with some wire! DOn't forget you have 2 oil filters...one normal and a "spinning" rotor that removes super fine dirt from the oil. These engines are bullet proof , but just need to keep an eye on a few things! Safe travels and best wishes. Gregg.
I’m over 60 (solo female adventurer) and have been car camping for many many years having given up a camper van in favour of a more stealthy camper … maps and satellite systems are no fun at all … sometimes I use a two pence guide … if flipped and it’s heads I turn right, if tails I turn left … this has brought me much joy and fun and wonderful unexpected places … synchronicity …. Sometimes I use heads for left and tails for right … but stick to one key until a destination is found …. More random this way perhaps ? Took me two days to drive from Madrid (Spain) to Castelo Branco (Portugal) during the summer … (a four hour drive) but it was an amazing, beautiful, scenic journey ! Life is full of synchronicities if we only take the time to see them … Have a great onward journey … 🙏☘️😘
I outright confess that I'm really into the music that Eva puts in her videos (it gives a memorable experience). Beautiful Eva, you make your content real, tangible and more than a simple UA-cam video. That's what I call the sensation of not being just a spectator but also feel that we're travelling with you. PS: One of my fav is Sentient by Gavin Luke.
Another inspiring video, just had to laugh as the first advertisement that You Tube showed was for a five star all inclusive resort hotel...well done UA-cam for getting your target audience so wrong !! stay safe, stay brave, great content, thank you once again.
Some serious scenery - very enjoyable. And the food towards the end - magic. I'd love to know more about how to make it, especially the cheese and the egg dish. There is a lady trucker who makes lettuce wraps that always look delicious.🍅🧄🧅🌮🫑🥬
Hi from Oklahoma USA. love your videos. They’re emotionally incredible !!! You remind me so much of my niece Tessa who passed away (in 2013) in a tragic drowning accident when she was only 18 yrs old. Thank you for sharing ! I can only imagine the feels and smells of your adventures. ❤️

Have you heard of the word 'Coddiwomple' i believe it fits your life journey,
You should chalk your tires before you go to sleep in you vehicle.
AKA buy wheel chalks or put large rocks/wood in front of and behind each tire so if for some reason your emergency brake gives out you don't slowly go rolling off the side of a mountain while inside asleep. ( I hear those vehicles can be unreliable that's why I drive a Toyota FJ Cruiser.) haha ;)

Thank you for introducing new places. As a Turk, I’m really proud of you! Visit Turkey more and break down the prejudices in people's minds.
One of the most stunning parts of my country, Turkey! Glad that you happened to find that amazing route!

From an other overlander to Eva: Thanx! This episode is the best I have seen describing overlanding.
Greetings from Sweden and the Swedish Expedition Society, SWES!💚
I'm born in the Netherlands and have been living in Sweden for many years. Been travelling a bit here and there and unless you go really off-road you don't need an overlander, the worst dirt roads are better than High ways in many other countries.
I drove mainly small and dirt roads from Simrishamn to Johanisholm from there E45 to Jokkmokk took me 2.5 weeks but we made it, me and my dog. (our transportation vehicle) ua-cam.com/video/a7os1u_XL2k/v-deo.html .
It is a very surprising and beautiful video about Turkey 🇹🇷 😍 Much love from the Netherlands ❤ 🙏 🌏 🇳🇱 😋
beautiful Eva! As always but I love your words of how full it is to travel without having everything planned. It is really so amazing to just explore, sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want but that is part of the adventure and sometimes it works out more than you even dreamed.
I love that you travel on your own, you have such an independent spirit, but I love seeing you and Mike travel together too, both are wonderful!!
OMW Eva, I cannot get enough of your stories, I am beyond fascinated and I derive such great pleasure to see the world through your eyes, Thank you! I dream of travelling through Turkey, I Ive been there once and cannot wait to go back one day Insha Allah..Keep on inspiring, you are brilliant at what you do. Please come visit South Africa, especially Cape Town,you will absolutely love it
I love your channel. Thank you for all of the content you share. You're an insperation to get out and adventure. Safe travels!
Awwww, I love you Eva! You are so adventurous and brave. I know you are human, with fears and shortcomings like all of us, but you press on to rise above that, which is what makes you so wonderful to watch. (I hope that is taken positively, as I mean it that way.) And I LOVE when Odyssey was MUDDY!
That is when a vehicle looks the most beautiful... when it is covered in mud! :-)
I actually paused the video to write that, and then after writing I started it again and heard what you said about how you love it, and how it represents serendipity....yes!
And for me, it means that you (and your vehicle...in this case, Odyssey...) are really LIVING!
You are getting out there, off the beaten track, not worrying so much about how things LOOK, but seeking more for how things ARE, how things FEEL...how things can BE.
Real life is messy; enjoy it!
And yes, you might not see everything, as you said, but you might just see enough...and maybe that "enough" is more meaningful... in other words, you might not get to see all that you WANT, but you will see all that you NEED, and it never was about getting everything that you wanted, but about experiencing all that you NEED.
Keep going girl. You rock. :) (And yes, I loved the different take on your narration - all the thoughts on your travels. I hope to see more! Great work!)
"there are some places in the world where you feeling of being there are more powerful that what the eyes can see" - Eva Zu Beck
I love this saying, thank you :D
"There are places in this world where the feeling of being there is much more powerful than what your eyes get to see."
sweet video...love the turkish hospitality and the remote snow covered mountains...really beautiful!!
You have no idea Eva , how greatful I am to you , you gave me a reason to live and to work hard so that one day I can travel like you .
4:55 - 5:42 has me SO INSPIRED!!! Its time to live in this beautiful big wild world on my own terms.
Some of what you said near the beginning reminded me of something that was said on a different travel UA-cam channel. I think it may have been Kara & Nate since they got me into travel UA-cam, but they said that there's a difference between travelling and taking a vacation. What most people do when they travel is actually just take a vacation. It's nice to take a break & get away from it all, and that's what those tour companies & all-inclusive resorts are for. But it's a different, and more rewarding experience to actually travel.
Brilliant. You have grown in confidence after that break down. Nice to watch and the way you drew people to yourself and they relate to you is unique to you, a really great quality especially for a traveller
I Do so love seeing your adventures, and living vicariously in them. Your talent for making such adventures, is Brilliant, and Inspiring. You are indeed quite ... Remarkable. Many Thanks
This was magnificent, joyful, inspiring and so relaxing 😌 thank you so much for sharing your adventures and PLEASE keep sharing your thoughts… that was absolutely wonderful
new subscriber!! loving your adventures! Such beautiful peaceful locations around the world. This is living. I've lived in places like this, moved to the city for a fake "better" life and now back in the wilderness where true living is.
welcome back to Nature!! I too live in the wilderness after traveling and growing up in crazy busy city. It's nice to come to Eva's channel here, she's showing a very tangible alternative perspective on how to journey through life. AND it's not always glamourous! Obstacles do manifest! Sometimes the soul needs these long journey's in order to experience life, and actually grow until AH HA that purpose of self is realized. I look forward to seeing where her journey's take her... and I think it's cool that you found the space she hold here on youtube. Definitely special. Best wishes to you Tony!
You are so very brave. The people you met in Turkey are amazing generous souls. You have incredible control of your life. You are such an inspiration
So beautiful and inspiring to watch your travels, Eva. Sending love! ❤
Such excellent writing at the beginning of this video. Thank you Eva. I hope my daughter ends up finding the spirit of adventure like you have
It is always such a joy to watch your video Eva, and that mostly because I know that I would never travel like this personally, so seeing you do it bravely and freely with a gorgeous smile on your face just makes me so happy watching your adventures! Lots of love! xx
Absolutely, the world belongs to the brave like Eva. No people was there in the chilled mountain but the your friends like company, brave heart, will power and indomitable spirit and passion to explore were there to acknowledge you. Really, Eva, the mesmerizing beauty of the landscape garnished with your loving awesome narration has made the portrait unbelievable. Thank you Eva .
The world belongs to the brave indeed 🙌
I always wait for you to upload a video!! They are such a treat as well as a retreat for me. Stay safe xo
It’s so true that the feeling of a place is what matters most!
Did not know there are snow-capped mountains in Turkey, amazing video ❤️😊🙏, Ms Eva travel to every corners of the world, God bless you
Iran and Lebanon have snowfall every year. I'm not sure about the other countries in the middle east. Likewise, perception about India is, it's very hot. A lot of people from other countries are just as surprised to know that it snows in india
Your style of storytelling and visuals are so captivating, Eva. Most importantly, your spirit is never down or the mood is never depressed.
Omoooo , You are so inspiring Miss Eva❤ You are so brave and with great adventures. Been watching your vlogs and they are all amazing! I'm just watching it but it feels like I'm also traveling. The world is so beautiful to explore . Stay safe always!
Transfer your philosophical thoughts to life as one big journey and one has the answer to the big question. "A willingness to take risks and learn and explore. Don't be afraid of travelling boldly to carve your own path. Don't worry about not seeing everything. You might just see enough and maybe that enough is even more meaningful". It gives me a chill. Thanks Eva.
The energy in those mountains is amazing. Wow 🤩
You are a great presenter and travel film maker, you, Bald and Syifa are at top level standard for these types of film showing such places most of the veiwers will never be able to go to for practical reasons...but are very interesting just to see on a film.
"There is a fine line between courage and stupidity" ❤️
that`s funny
Totally agree
what Eva said is that there is a fine line between courage and stupidity..what i said is that i agree..also that it was a funny way to say it..what Socrates said in a nutshell is that sometimes it`s a good idea to be cautious..i agree
fine line between rescue team and youtube clicks😊😊😊
@@Bet-vx3fg anything for the extra click😆
you are the definition of next level braveness. i love your adventures. i wish i can come with you and just explore every parts of every places.
I've always watching your videos because I inspired you being a traveller and a vloger at the same time. Soon, I will be like you, travelling around the world, Eating different kind of foods, getting to learn/know their cultures, and etc. That's my ambition in life. "To be a traveller".
Take care, Eva! 😘
Thank you again for sharing a wonderful and thought provoking adventure. Jove
I love this so much, it definitely sparks something within me, something that sadly I forgot about. I'm quite a new subscriber and very glad I found you!
The way you describe your locations is pure poetry
What amazing adventures you've taken, what an amazing woman you are! A true warrior! ❤
It's good that you already cook wrap, they can be combined in thousands of ways. Beautiful places, and the trip is amazing. Thank you very much Eva. Greetings from Argentina.
Dear Eva, You are beaming with inspiration and vitality! Thank You for sharing it with us! :)
I enjoy every episode and it is a great escape to watch your adventures. Thank you.
Eva, thank you for inspiration. I am struggling with deciding to travel permanently, because a lot of doubts. And you make me strong. My van is thankfull too :)
And wraps... Of course! How could I not think about it!
5:15 to 5:36 I love hearing this I respect anyone who can do this. I don't think I could I find a way or figure it out or be happy without certain things. I love hearing about this.
Wow, Turkey is beautiful. Never imagined it to be that scenic.
I guess you were imagining Turkey as a land of desert and camels.
@@dogandogan1652 i think that stereotype comes from the fact that Turks are muslims and they came from central Asia. But obviously place where Turks live now is mostly European.
You're so brave and courageous! This was one of my favorite videos that you've made because it's truly raw.
No specieal effects needed.
No "picture perfect" destinations.
Simply just curiousty mixed with adventure and courage which produced the raw, roller-coaster emotions that came through the camera lens.
You’re such a great story teller😘❤️ I just love how you narrate your adventures , your experiences, your story and on how you describe places ❤️ .. God bless and be safe!!
Wooo😍😍that's what i like too ,the first time i watched her videos ,i fell in love with her voice ,i kept telling my sister that i like the way she narrates her adventures with that amazing voice.
Yes, that voice, emotions and expressions!! Total package 📦
Enjoy your travels. The sights and people you find make me envious of your travels. I have watched three videos taken in Turkey and intend to watch more of your wonderful travels
I really enjoyed this video and the message it conveys. It reminds me that I need to get back on the road and continue exploring…..
I absolutely love how positive your content is. Its a rare message in how to find peace, joy, awe and wonder in the world wherever you are. Thanks for the content.
Simply awesome ! Scenery, people, country and your thoughts on travel :)
Hi Eva,
You're a brave girl , but living an incredible life so good for you! As a TD5 owner of almost 15 years, I can give you some tips on keeping the "Deefer" on the road...though you've probably heard them all! Keep the fuel tank at least 1/4 full , the pump is in there and relies on fuel to keep it cool and lubricated! Carry a spare crank angle sensor and plug with some wire! DOn't forget you have 2 oil filters...one normal and a "spinning" rotor that removes super fine dirt from the oil. These engines are bullet proof , but just need to keep an eye on a few things! Safe travels and best wishes.
Gregg.
So inspirational. I would love to be in a position just to drive off and do this.
Love the vlog's you make.
Dear Eva!! Really loved your project,your true adventures!!God bless u and all the people involved in your journey.Greetings from Greece!!
Eva, my Friday nights wouldn’t be same without you! I already look forward for next week’s video :)
I’m over 60 (solo female adventurer) and have been car camping for many many years having given up a camper van in favour of a more stealthy camper … maps and satellite systems are no fun at all
… sometimes I use a two pence guide … if flipped and it’s heads I turn right, if tails I turn left … this has brought me much joy and fun and wonderful unexpected places … synchronicity
…. Sometimes I use heads for left and tails for right … but stick to one key until a destination is found …. More random this way perhaps ?
Took me two days to drive from Madrid (Spain) to Castelo Branco (Portugal) during the summer … (a four hour drive) but it was an amazing, beautiful, scenic journey !
Life is full of synchronicities if we only take the time to see them …
Have a great onward journey … 🙏☘️😘
I outright confess that I'm really into the music that Eva puts in her videos (it gives a memorable experience). Beautiful Eva, you make your content real, tangible and more than a simple UA-cam video. That's what I call the sensation of not being just a spectator but also feel that we're travelling with you.
PS: One of my fav is Sentient by Gavin Luke.
always rock thanx for the exploring and showing incredible beauty of Nature keep it up stay blessed always
Another inspiring video, just had to laugh as the first advertisement that You Tube showed was for a five star all inclusive resort hotel...well done UA-cam for getting your target audience so wrong !! stay safe, stay brave, great content, thank you once again.
Video quality and everything inside of it was so perfect. Welcome to Turkey Eva!
Some serious scenery - very enjoyable. And the food towards the end - magic. I'd love to know more about how to make it, especially the cheese and the egg dish. There is a lady trucker who makes lettuce wraps that always look delicious.🍅🧄🧅🌮🫑🥬
That cheese dish "mıhlama" is not made with semolina but corn flour. It's a crucial detail. Eva got it wrong.
Hi from Oklahoma USA. love your videos. They’re emotionally incredible !!! You remind me so much of my niece Tessa who passed away (in 2013) in a tragic drowning accident when she was only 18 yrs old. Thank you for sharing ! I can only imagine the feels and smells of your adventures. ❤️
