    YAY, so glad that you made it safe. I am old enough to be your mom, and I have been worried solid for both of you.I am glad that your border crossing went so well. I enjoy your videos so much. Safe travels, and I will continue to worry, but that is just what I do. You are both so adorable and such a cute couple!!

      Funny enough our moms aren't worried they are glad we are living it up. I'm sure they worry and want us to be safe but they are very happy to see us breaking the norm.

    Your trip of a life time has finally started, Are your friends staying with you the whole trip. I hope so, safety in numbers. I follow The Nomadic Movement as stated on a previous message. So worth the watch on their older vlogs before settling in Panama for tip & hints. Apart from that they are a fantastic couple. Their coffee is amazing. Have fun, stay mindful & safe. Cheers from Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨🐱😃💙🐕💙

    San Pedro Martir Parque Nacional is an hour south of Ensenada. Rancho Coyote is a fabulous oasis (with WiFi ) at kilometer 49 on the way up the mountain. Least known prettiest spot in Baja. Condors and coyotes. The rest of the peninsula is pretty well visited. This is different.

    Perfect time to get sponsored by an online language school and learn Spanish. Please be careful driving in Mexico, it's mental. Don't forget "con no hielo por favor" / "with no ice please" when you get drinks to avoid a dodgy tummy. Enjoy! 🥳

      😂 No doubt! You'll feel less so as you acclimate and assimilate to the culture and the language. Naturally it's most awkward at first with little exposure and knowledge but your confidence and competence will develop the more you dive in and put yourself out there. One prominent thing I remember from my early Spanish language and Latin culture journey is resist becoming embarrassed when making a fool of oneself. That's when you know you're on the way. And of course, always be humble. Just do your best and take every opportunity to speak with someone in Spanish and ask them about stuff. Anything. Clima, carretera, lo que sea. Doesn't matter if you think you already know the answer, the idea is to converse. And if they switch to English, ask how you'd say or ask some particular thing in Spanish. Hay que acostumbrarse a los sonidos además de aprender las palabras.
      I'm very comfortable in Latin America but of course that didn't happen overnight or by osmosis. It has to be very intentional and unrelenting. Poco a poco, pero cada día algo más.

    So glad the border crossing was so easy for you. I would've been stressing too.
    That pizza looked way too delicious to be seeing before dinner here. 🤣😋
    Right after that there seemed to be a girl walking down the road with a ton of balloons. 🤔 There was a ferris wheel nearby but it still seemed strange. 🤣
    I could've brought an entire garden. 🤣
    Looking forward to these adventures. Thanks for sharing them with us. 💖

      Yeah he only has the ability to stay out the window up to 20 mph then he comes in. If I listened to all the things people say don't do, I wouldn't be traveling in a van I wouldn't be in Baja Mexico. So I will pay close attention whenever driving our home around. That is the key be aware all the time. 😁
