    Every movie with this girl even an interview takes me out,
    and when it's over, my room looks weird like I just got back from somewhere.
    What a positive vibe she has.

    Great interview. Nice to hear about Eva’s grandfather’s travel bug and her early inspiration. Also about being present…in the moment…and not wanting to ever ‘find yourself,’ in order to continue learning, growing and becoming. Cheers from the Netherlands.

    It is essential to our happiness to listen to what we want and what can make us happy, even if it is hard, illogical, and uncomfortable. At the age of 54, my wife passed away after a very long illness. I was working in a comfortable state government job only years from retirement. Yet, here was my chance to become a nurse, something I have always wanted to do but didn't or could not. I quit my job, cashed out my pension money and got accepted into nursing school. Fast forward ahead, I got awarded Nurse of the Unit, got my bachelors with a 3.9 GPA, and now I am in Graduate school studying to be a Nurse Practitioner. Although I am in school, I am still a full-time floor nurse at one of the best hospitals in the world, the Mayo Clinic.

    Really enjoyable interview! Finding out details of Eva’s travel “ process” was really interesting. Agree with others about the thoughtfulness of the questions and the attentiveness of the interviewer. As an Eva subscriber, I’m happy this popped up in my feed. 😊
    Also I was thinking today about something rather profound you said Scott to the effect that we're not our past or our future, we are only ourselves in this very moment. I've heard variations of basically be here/now / be in the present for years, but this was different and kind of nailed it for me. Thank you.

    Watching Eva for a few months now, and listening to her thoughts on Self, and the way in which she looks out at the world is incredibly inspiring as I plan the scariest, and most challenging adventure I've ever considered. A 1545km bikepacking ride through Canada's British Columbia Mountains from Alberta to Vancouver to raise funds for Childrens Cancer Research.

    @richardhaney8295 8 місяців тому

    Wow! This interview is so enlightening! Up until now, Eva has seemed so terribly enigmatic! I've watched a great many of her videos and have checked out her Instagram account now and then as well. I've often wondered what makes her tick. This interview helps to explain much of what has puzzled me about her. A DW Travel-based interview with her also helped as well. That does not mean that there aren't other things that still puzzle me about her. For example, it puzzles me that she is now (Jan 2024) so "nuts" about ultramarathons, especially since she endured great self-abuse in the form of physical bruises to finish the last one she entered. (But if that puzzles me, maybe I should also be puzzled why so many other ultramarathon runners are so interested in the sport as well.) It also puzzles me why all her helpers she mentioned for her UA-cam videos are women. That suggests that she is a dyed-in-the-wool feminist and that she feels like she is at a disadvantage in a heterogeneous world that includes men. That and her interest in ultramarathons suggest questions about her attitudes about competition, e.g., male vs. female and otherwise, and what deep down in her psyche or her childhood experiences could be driving those perspectives.

    I had so sought what you are seeking and can’t define God. I prayed and sought (not religion) for God to reveal himself and Wow! It was that intangible thing I was seeking. And sure enough the Holy Spirit (God) revealed himself. Seek and he shall find. I am not speaking of the traditions of men but the following of christ. I went new age, all religions and so forth and was lost. May you find him and he reveal his spirit. Christ came to show us how to know the father (personal relationship). I am not here to preach but just sharing. I ran from religion. I so thought with the flesh and it failed me. The Holy Spirit is my teacher. An amazing journey which never ends.

I'm from Slovenia, so that is awesome. Wish her all the best and safe travels, may she never find herself. 😃

    Oh, I’m very aware of living in the moment and making decisions to make yourself happy. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer (2022) and wasn’t informed of the type of cancer or severity for two weeks. The worse thoughts crossed my mind and I seriously reassess what was important in my life. Things that I thought was important quickly fell to the way-side and I seriously learned to live in the moment in a quick fashion. There is nothing like living in the moment because, your life as you know it, is quickly in question. I had a true Reckoning with, Living in The Moment. The place that I went to regarding, “Living in The Moment” was an amazing and scary place to be. It changed my life as I know it. I cannot unthinking thoughts that I had, nor do I want to, because it changed my life!

    I like Eva. I believe that with her language skills, she could write good books about what she chooses. I would like to read. I am not so adventurous, but I do have 54 years of experience. I have volunteered and worked for pay for thirty years. Then I wrote books. I am writing my third book. It’s a ghost story. I believe it’s hysterical. Maybe because people don’t believe in ghosts unless they are little children.

    Hi
    Yes Eva is inspiring and all her adventures on UA-cam are put together in a professional way. My only reservation and criticism is that she appears to have had a privileged background in as much that I don’t see how any working class person who didn’t have the opportunity to have the money to be educated at Oxford University could achieve what she has without connections, money. If you have no money a poor education your stuck in that you work week to week struggling to pay bills. No chance of a life of adventure. I maybe wrong but I’ve never had the opportunity or money in life now I’m 67 never had chance of being able to earn large sums to attempt anything like she has. Perhaps someone can tell me how you do what she does with no money or how to fund projects without backing. Great what she does but from my perspective she’s had the money to get good education to start her life.

      Travel is a mindset. There are many travelers circling the planet with little or no money. Beautiful stories of the Japanese monk that travels with no money, or the Russian English teacher I helped along the Silk Road. . . she had $5

    • @pacobrezel
      @pacobrezel Рік тому +1

      Your reservation and criticism is statistically quite unlikely. After the fall of communism in Poland majority of Polish people was very poor. And since there at the same time almost no money to earn in Poland literally thousands if not millions of Polish used the opportunity for the first time in their live to go abroad for work. Not only individuals also families like those of Eva. And since quite a lot of Polish had a good education and worked very hard abroad, several managed to acquire a descent living standard. Eva's personality fits well to those roots. And just because somebody was/is on Oxford it doesn't mean he/she automatically has a privileged background. Hard work with/without luck can still also bring people on Oxford.
