Ther architecture was so beautiful in the city. The whale watching was epic! One of the best videos I've swen to show them playjng for the watchers and feel a little more in the experience. Sounds like you really loved Ecuador.
Hahahah yep he said no… and all the custom agents where behind me saying « take one take one » it was so funny! But nick is right it’s such a nightmare at borders …
Guys, 💑 Very Cool Video! Ecuador is amazing! I love the volcanos! I WOULD NOT eat a guinea pig,🐨 My daughter ate a guinea pig🐨 in Peru. I love your channel can't wait for Peru. I hope you guys go to Machu Picchu. My daughter just came back from there she loved it. Love your channel take care and happy trails to you. Cheers 🐨🐨😎
Howdy Albies! Wow what a house! And Laird Hamilton surfing out front! No? That was Nick? Oh well…and Matilda doing a cross foot on the nose! Y’all rock out to much! Thanks again for taking us along…Ecuador is beautiful! Saddle up n ride on!
So sad when you ate those guinea pigs 😮💨 , but you redeemed yourselves to me when you saved the turtle ☺. Ecuador is beautiful. Loved the whales and surfing too.
Peru is known for delicious Seafood and really nice restaurants. Did you know that potatoes originate from The Ande mountains of Peru. I suspect you will be going to Machu Picchu. Take care and stay happy! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes!!!! we started trying the food and it is awesome! More in Lima we hope. We are planning how to get to machu pichu yes ! Coming up in the next videos ! Not sure when exactly
👏🏻👏🏻 What a nice gesture. You stopped in the middle of the highway & saved turtle. Even the car stopped so you could cross over. 👏🏻👏🏻 Fantastic. I really love watching your videos. All the best Nick & Matildhe for your upcoming adventures 😁
It was a joy to finally meet in person, after all our online conversations over the past two years. Buen viaje through the rest of South America. We look forward to seeing you again somewhere in the world. -B
Now I can get my Saturday underway- I’ve travelled again with Mathilde and Nick. You have given us a wonderful taste of Ecuador. What a spectacular country! So much beautiful scenery and varied experiences. (Not sure about the Guinea pig feast though….) And Mathilde, “slaloming”…if I were marking an assignment, you’d get 25 bonus points for that! 🤓. Can’t wait for Peru.
Thanks Heather !!!! We love travelling with yôu! When we film we think about what people who watch say and it makes us so happy! Did I say anything lweird with slaloming ? Is it a word I can use? Hahahaha I have no idea sometimes I just use the word I d use in french and hope it ll do … 😅 not always perfect
Hello!! You sure packed a lot of fun into this vlog! Great Turtle rescue Nick! Watching the baby whale was so so special❤️ Mathilde, it was awesome to see you surfing. The drone shots of the surfing and the scenery were really pretty.
Darn you guys...making me want to visit another country! Beautiful country! Nick, you almost gave me a heart attack when you saved the turtle in front of that semi truck! Fun adventures! Stay safe.🐢🐢🐢
I just read of the political asasination in Ecuador and the violence associated with drug trafficking routes. Then I watch your beautiful video and see the amazing scenery and friendly people. Just love the way you show the good in everything.😊 However, I am amazed at the dichotomy too.
Yes you are right, it is not safe being a representative those days in Peru… poor guys just ahead of the elections too! We got to the coast exactly when a mayor got killed too in the same region. We hope it will get better. For travellers when we were there it was still fine but you do see more police and militaries on the roads
Another Excellent video. Ecuador has been incredible. From the mountains and volcanoes to the Tropical Shores, that was an amazing adventure. Thanks for taking us there. Looking forward to Peru!! 👍🏻👍🏻❤🙏🏻🙏🏻✌🏻
Nick is such a good soul. Saving that turtle from getting squashed was so thoughtful. It may go an to have hundreds more because of that . Ecuador is so much more than i ever anticipated. Of course it is you the travellers who make it more exciting ❣. I can see through your eyes how beautiful it is. So much to learn , lovely people you have come across. I watch every week and at the moment im going through the early ones i missed. You have both gained so much confidence and found so much more happiness. Keep going with the quality. I love it. sending much love from Scotland x
Thank you so much! Yes Ecuador has quite a lot to offer and we did not even go to the Amazon part which is a whole other region in itself. Thank you so much for your support and motivating words
Your videos of Ecuador were so fun and engaging. I am still smiling after watching this last one. Prayers for safe travels as you enter Peru. It's a big, beautiful country. I'm so looking forward to your videos from there. I visited Lima back in August 2016 on a mission trip. All the people I met there were so friendly. And the food is delicious!
I would have entered Peru with a puppy hahaha!! So cute... Ecuador was another beautiful stop! Wish the whales would have been more active although they're probably tired from keeping up with a very playful baby!! Look forward to seeing Peru with you2!
Hahahaha we were like you: if only a big whale could jump…. But we did not want to disminish the beauty of that little one making the show. We are grateful for that. And those puppies 😍😍😍😍 the custom agents were saying “ take one take one”!
I was searching where it was just now and saw it was far up north and we unfortunately already are south of that. We are 2/3 weeks ahead in real life. Peru is so big I always get surprised… what a pity. Thanks a million for this invitation we would have had loved to come…
Encore une fois une excellente vidéo ! Surfer comme Justine Dupont peut être pas mais doués tout de même ! La prochaine vidéo je vais regarder en France car on est en train y aller voir ma belle famille et surexcitée et nerveuse à le même temps mais avec si beaucoup de courage voyager comme vous j’ai d’inspiration et voilà je vous adore et à la prochaine et profite bien de Peru ❤❤❤❤
Thanks again for taking us on your amazing world tour! Ecuador is a treasure except the tarantula. I am so thankful to travel with you on your adventures! I always look forward to Saturday's! Now to Peru! Can't wait to see it!
Such a shame I just discovered the channel, I would loved to invite you to a beautiful place near Quito. Thanks for visiting this beautiful country. Have a good trip !
Thanks for showing some of the many, many attractions of Ecuador, a country I know quite well (I export Ecuadorian textiles back to the U.S.). I struggle with altitude sickness every time I visit Cajas, Just the thought of running there makes me gasp for breath. As you've seen, the wildlife in Ecuador is amazing. Last time I was in Puerto Lopez it was not the correct season so no whales on our cruise out to Silver Island but we did see a whale shark. The skipper said he'd never seen one before. I spent years in the U.S. Coast Guard and I'd never seen one either. Are you still searching for a condor?
That s an awesome job! Las cajas was so beautiful! That s true it is so diverse and we ve not been to the Amazon! Which is even crazier. We re not completely actively looking for one but we should… I m going to put that on my list hahahah! Thanks for the reminder
@@NextMeridianExpedition Oui oui je sais. J’étais déjà au courant et je respecte, mais ça dépasse mes limites ! On a actuellement un lapin qui vit en liberté comme un chat et avant, on avait un cochon d’Inde …
I'd been following your adventures for quite a while but was shocked that you'd show guinea pigs roasting in this video, which is an image I can't unsee. I have owned rabbits & a guinea pig, & my guinea pig was intelligent, affectionate, trusting & curious. He would run to us & around us when we got home & purr when he got his favourite fruits. He was basically like a small cat. Our rabbits too each had their own personality. I hope that you'd be more thoughtful for animals lovers in subsequent videos & especially not show dogs roasting in China, for example.
My partner and I love watching your channel and never miss it but found this one a bit of a challenge. On the one hand you saved a turtle, watched whales and admired a cute puppy but on the other you were eager to eat guinea pigs, just seemed like some serious conflicts of morality and cognitive dissonance. Why would you enjoy seeing one, actively save another and then consume another? I think you're both wonderful people and we really enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm for travel but I do think this is a bit of a blind spot and worth some introspection. Not trying to be negative so hoping you can take this comment in the spirit it's meant.
Hello we see you point of view. But from another perspective in Ecuador eating a Guinea pig is like eating a chicken in the USA or Europe. And honestly I am as convinced of the value of a chicken as of a Guinea pig as of a turtle. As of eagerness I don’t know we tried upon an invitation, and shared a small piece in 4. But again we understand your point of view. Thanks for sharing it
@@NextMeridianExpeditionthanks for taking the time to respond. I know you guys are both considerate people and do love animals a lot and so it was just something that stood out a little. To be clear I don't think one should eat chickens either and I too believe guinea pigs, turtles and chickens all deserve our consideration I just found it odd that you saved the turtle but paid for the death of another species. In any case, thanks for responding and for your videos, they are (mostly) really engaging and enjoyable and so we appreciate you making them.
P.s not sure why you've only got 27.6k subscribers as your production quality and content is very good and so views should be much higher. I'm hoping it will go up and up as you continue to travel.

I love the end when you both are smiling and Nick says no to taking the puppy. But you keep smiling. hahahaha
Haha! I was like, "C'mon Nick! How can you say no to that adorable puppy?"
Hahahah yep he said no… and all the custom agents where behind me saying « take one take one » it was so funny! But nick is right it’s such a nightmare at borders …
Guys, 💑 Very Cool Video! Ecuador is amazing! I love the volcanos! I WOULD NOT eat a guinea pig,🐨 My daughter ate a guinea pig🐨 in Peru. I love your channel can't wait for Peru.

Awesome to read that she loved it we cannot wait ! Peru is amazing!!! And in Ecuador we loved the volcanoes too. Kisses to you and your daughter

Hahahaah We re not great but improved a bit hahaha
So sad when you ate those guinea pigs 😮💨 , but you redeemed yourselves to me when you saved the turtle ☺. Ecuador is beautiful. Loved the whales and surfing too.
Yes it was not easy but it is really part of the culture there. And that turtle … was so stressful
The baby Whale was having so much fun!
Yes! It was the best

Hahahaha there was no hesitation indeed
👏🏻👏🏻 What a nice gesture. You stopped in the middle of the highway & saved turtle. Even the car stopped so you could cross over. 👏🏻👏🏻 Fantastic. I really love watching your videos. All the best Nick & Matildhe for your upcoming adventures 😁
yes the other drivers where so nice
I'm officially jealous. That is the best vid of a baby whale. How cute! Here's ur 👼
True! It was adorable!
We see the world with your eyes and cameras, so thank you so much.🤩
thank you for watching!!!
Super! Super! Super! Just love it! ❤🤗🤗
Thank you!!!!
Ah Nick and Mathilde...Ecuador has been beautiful. OMG, the puppy. No way could I have resisted and left it there. Cant wait for Peru adventures.❤
Thanks Lynda!!! Agreed those puppies were the cutest it was so hard
Maybe that puppy will show up again in Peru?🤠
It was a joy to finally meet in person, after all our online conversations over the past two years. Buen viaje through the rest of South America. We look forward to seeing you again somewhere in the world. -B

Yes a really great country! And we did not even do the Amazon which is an entire different world in itself
@@NextMeridianExpedition Only 2% of the Amazon is in Ecuador, over 10% in Peru and over 60% of the Amazon is in Brazil.
Loved the whole Ecuador trip with a mini exception for the tarantula. Albo looked happy to be back on the beach.
That was a crazy one! So big and purple …. Yark …

We mountain biked from the the top of Las Cajas Nacional parque. It was cold and foggy at the top also, but warm at the bottom.
that must have been hell of fun but hell of cold indeed
That was a great beach location.
Yes it was! We were really lucky !
