All I'm saying is Eva, although you may not see this, we watch the videos for YOU. The way you plan ,narrate and talk about the world proves you are wise beyond your years, and we see that. We follow what you want to do. Thanks for the great content :)
Eva, i'm a 72 year old male who has been going through a very rough patch in my life for the last year. For perhaps the last 6 months ( after stumbeling accross your channel}; i have been watching as many of your vlogs as possible. Watching the courageous and adventureous EVA has helped me tremendously in dealing with my problems. I for one will continue marveling at your journey down the road of life, whereever it may take you. That journey can be exciting, and can also have many potholes.....some very deep. Your vlogs have helped me realize that one should not worry too much about what has happened in the past.....and not be too scared about what might happen in the future. Each of us should learn to live for the day, be open to new things......and in the words of "Bill and Ted"...."rock on and be excellent to one another". Safe journeys Eva, and thanks for the help. Francis
I am on the same page, same age with lots of hurdles & obstacles and disabilities to deal with as time counts down... I enjoy these young folks adventures, the world is such a different place than when i was their age.. I traveled raising 2 daughters often living in our camper vehicle, and as a single dad during their teen years. i was a chef and worked at resorts in wonderful places for most my life. Places i would likely not be able to afford to visit otherwise, The thing i do notice with the young people is that they don't seem capable or able of staying in one place and explore the places and people in depth for very long. Kind of a Restless vibe i guess, with a bit too much reality- me-tube drama.. I guess its hard to always be searching for video content instead of soul searching in real time.. i think of all the travels in my life before all this social media and technology existed, without a thought of ever recording any of it, not even photographs,, just many memories and experiences. i sometimes wonder if these youtube travelers would do if they did'nt have the means to raise funds to be a digital nomad.. Back in the dark ages before selfie sticks, most travelers literally worked they way around the world,, unless they were born with that proverbial silver spoon or being a trustfund traveler.. Check out "Sabbatical" YT channel.. He is very refreshing in his way of travel, sharing and delivering his experiences. and learning local languages as he travels.. Alot of walking about through amazing places meeting locals, and much less windshield time.
I LOVE that your next journey will be slow, thoughtful, and immersive. I'm 100% here for it all and I think it's wise to break out of the "travel niche" and chart our own territory.
@@evazubeck I think you finally get it. Yes, the planet is beautiful but we can see it on National Geographic, etc. Take your time, love life and live the moment. We'll be here when you are ready to talk and share.🙂
Oh baby girl, I/we watch for you. So inspirational,humble and honest, I’m a 62 year old woman living in remote Australia getting ready to set off for my own adventure once again. I love your work and you of course, just do what you feel you need to do for yourself. I’m behind you all the way girl, the next 2/3 years will be amazing for both of us.🙏🏼
This is exactly the kind of content I signed up for. It doesn’t have to always be someone else’s story you’re telling, yours is perfectly interesting as it is 😊 I love that you’ve decided to focus more on your own journey (geographically but also mentally). I’m here for it!!!
This is an epic trip and we can't wait to follow your adventures to see what you get up to - you are so inspirational the way you handle fear and the ups and downs of life. Good for you for following your own path and not what we think youtube travel creators should do . Safe travels sending love from us xx
I didn’t find your channel until this month of this year. And I prefer everything you started creating at this point forward. These are the perfect videos for our little family. We watch an episode before nap time and my baby girl falls asleep (and it’s low stimulating). We truly love these so much. Thank you ✨ And yes, that’s a Dune quote.
Can I just say I was so happy hearing you are following your heart, and not the need to please others with the content they might like. I will be here watching your journey! I'm excited for new videos, your trip sounds amazing! Take good care, greetings from Vancouver! 👍😊
For all those fans you might lose with your "change of content", there will be others that will join you, exactly because of the changes, like me. I was never invested in your old content, but when i saw your first Odyssey video, i have been following you and watching you weekly, always wanting for more, Eva. And i am sure there will be many many more others like that, so dont worry about the changes. Just do what you like, how you feel it, keep telling us your story and keep taking us with you, to your new travels!
Mental health is the most important thing👌 - taking it slow and enjoying every moment is all that matters. You've been an inspiration since the first day I saw your video and will always be here to support you wherever your journey takes you. Take care always, Eva! 🙏🙌✨
This is an amazing plan! Makes me even more exited to keep on following you. A big trip, a longer story, with a greater focus on sustainable travel. That is just perfect! Enjoy your journey
it might be sustainable for her mind, but no more sustainable for the earth. It's time we put our collective will infront of our own desires for the sake of our futures, and the planet.
I particularly appreciate when you share your process of planning, making decisions, getting from point A to B. It has a slight air of a behind the scenes perspective, perhaps details many other travel vloggers leave out more often. I also like your pace. I'm sure at times you feel rushed, for whatever reasons, but your pace is a bit slower and more realistic, more organic. Safe travels Eva and thanks for sharing your journey!
I watch your content because of your storytelling, authenticity, vivaciousness, personality and because of the immersive, raw yet professional sense of quality content that you consistently provide. These videos transport me, it's like traveling vicariously through you, it's also so inspiring. Most people are probably just happy to see almost anything travel related you put out, because so much of your content is 'you' and your personal brand. So thanks for what you do Eva.
Eva, this video was edited wonderfully with the narration, changes of location, and various camera and zoom angles. Your hard work and dedication to producing a high quality video is clearly evident. I look forward to following your journey. Keep up the superb content. 👍🏻 We may cross paths somewhere along the way. Wishing you safe travels and exciting adventures.
Thankfully, I’m much more interested in this journey you’re undertaking than the previous ones. I, sometimes, feel exhausted watching previous videos because I’m aware how much is going on to even get the video. Congratulations on your decision and journey. I hope you take the time to really get to know each area, which will require much more than 2 years.
Really, really love and appreciate what you stand for, and the authenticity of your growth. Btw. I have been dreaming of watching exactly this kind of content, Pan-American Highway, and in real way, which includes exactly that- slow, thorough gaining of experience, learning as you go and simply living as you go. Since I'm busy chasing my own authentic path, I'm gonna live vicariously through your content. 😊Thank you for being inspiration by choosing to live authentically.
We love and deeply respect how you strive to live authenticity. We always know when we click on your YT vids or IG, we’re going to get the genuine Eva.
Yes, yes, yes. Take your time and enjoy the journey. My favorite time in Italy was not running around and seeing the landmarks. It was taking a bus through Rome and getting off at a street market. I got to hear the vendors singing, cheeses and chickens swinging in the breeze, and people conversing in Italian and other languages. Yes, we want you to be happy and fulfilled and the best way to do that is to go slowly and listen to your heart. You are a treasure and a delight to watch. Whatever you choose to do...I am sure it will be lovely. Sending bunches of hugs, A grandma in Coos Bay, Oregon.
WOW... you are a fascinating person! I just today found this channel, thanks to that fickle YT algorithm, and I am excited for your trip through the Americas here! Will be eagerly anticipating you next installments, in the meantime, looks I have a few videos to catch up on! Sending much love from south east Arizona.
Actually, much as I love watching you traveling and savoring your time interviewing locals and diving into different cultures and traditions; this road trip of yours is so inspiring for me. It motivates me to actually try working from anywhere--not necessarily doing extremes like what you do but just at least quitting working on the same office everyday.
I had been followed you for 2 years now & love every episode of it. You had helped me with my decision making in life & because of you, I NO longer regret decision I made anymore (I used to). lesson I learned from you is that any decision I made, it's still better than one that I didn't make good or bad, just lived with the outcome & learned from it. So, THANK YOU. I am wishing you all the best for your new 2 years project & can't wait to ride along with you (ON UA-cam of course). GOOD LUCK💖💖💖
As a seasoned traveller (pre-youtube) who has become more sedentary, I love how your videos transport me to a previous life. I watch your videos for your presentation and truthful style of content. I look fwd to this new adventure as you will be passing through my neck of the woods in Canada!
This is the first time that I have subscribed to any you tube channel. Your philosophy on this journey is in complete accordance with mine, and the things I've taught my children about travel. I wish you well and safe travels in this amazing trek.
The expectations on a single UA-camr are so intense. I’m really glad you’re setting a boundary for your personal health and well-being, which in itself is a journey 💛
Eva, i have been fallowing your adventures for years now and I’m not worried … You are making the right decision for yourself and in the end that’s all that counts! Enjoy your travels and thanks for taking us along!
I've always enjoyed your vlog for you own adventures, big or small, rather than the actual travel part, so I'm really looking forward to following you on this epic journey! You are such an inspiration and I really appreciate your insights along the way. My hero, actually! I wish you all the best!
This was incredible! I can’t wait to watch this life thing unfold. I often wondered how you did the travels the way you did. I’m so excited for this and thanks for being so honest about how you feel. NO FEAR!
Of course you should write a book. You're an amazing travel vlogger, and writing travel lit will be so up your alley. I also dig the existential questions you ask yourself about living the experience, fear, your own journey, inner journey I mean. I think you are capable of bringing something new and unique to a book about travel experience. Go for it.
This is EXACTLY what I expected you to do when you bought Oddyssey and I was looking forward to it. I follow other UA-camrs who do this permanent travel kind of thing and I love what they are doing. Mind, I adore your documentary style videos like the one about the garbage collectors in Egypt, that is straight up journalism and I expect you to do more of those at a later stage in your career, but as far as travel is concerned, hopping all across the place is indeed tiring, even for me as a viewer. I am very ready to follow you wherever you go on this loooooooong journey :) To speak the immortal words of Noraly Itchy Boots Schoenmaker: 'Let's go!'
This is exactly why I watch your channel! I also see now what my friends mean about my crazy eyes when I talk about my adventures! 🤣 Please take the side roads in the US, the interstate is great for commerce, but the smaller highways are where the life is. Godspeed and safe travels!
Well, you inspired my wife andI to buy a truck and try it out - waiting on delivery of the vehicle now. So we will follow you regardless - and frankly, we love the idea of you taking time, because you will teach people like us to take our time also! one life right?
To me slow travel is the best. I've spent two and a half months in Peru in three trips and it still isn't enough for me. The journey is the destination for me
I just discovered your videos on youtube. You are so adorable its impossible to not watch. I'm not talking only physically, but your personality, adventurous spirit, and mannerisms too. Be safe. We'll all be watching.
I just discovered your youtube channel. You have no idea how much you are helping me. My mental health is treated by a psychiatrist and psychologist and watching your videos has made me start to think differently about life. thank you from the bottom of my heart!
YOU truly inspire me Eva! I really like watching your videos. I love how you tell your story, your raw and awesome content, your spontaneity, your bravery, your carefree nature, your personality, I love everything about you. Thank you for breaking boundaries for all single thirty-year-old women in the world. :) Best of luck on your next big adventure! And if you happen to drive through the Okanagan in BC, I would love to meet you and Odyssey in person. Cheers! 😁
It's good to see you so excited for this, reminds me of the excitement you had when you first started this journey. I never subscribed to see you in a new country/place every video, but just to watch your journey through life as you take the road less traveled in a very literal sense on the road and through life. It has been awesome to watch and inspiring. I've been preparing to do something a lot like this. purchased my dream vehicle and have been working on it and getting it ready to hit the road and enjoy life and leave everything behind and see what's out there. Always follow your dreams and what makes you happy, reguardless of what anyone on the internet might think of it. It is YOUR life after all.
So happy for you. Replied to your comment with 100% support for your wonderful decision to follow your heart 💓 You are already such a success and I think you're going to attract even more viewers effortlessly because it's your wonderful enthusiasm about discovering the new.. that fuels us too. 🌺
That is great that you have decided to look after yourself first. I ha e a small following on FB for my travels in Africa and I know how hard it is to keep the content coming. Good luck with the trip. BTW, you should meet up with a Dutch Lady who is doing the same journey on her motorbike called Alaska her channel is called Itchy Boots.
Eva, you have more than earned your place at the top of vlogging echelon (imho). Your content is truly unique and continues to connect in ways that I never could imagine. You definitely need to "do you", and I will continue to support your channel with this change, or through any other change down the road. I think I speak for many when I say that we come here to spend time with you, regardless of destinations. Have an incredible and luminous journey!
Sounds like this is going to be another amazing journey! I, for one, can't wait to follow you on this new slow-paced adventure. I'm curious to see at what locations you'll be staying a little longer, what amazing people you'll meet and of course all your thoughts and ideas about it! :-)
I actually started watching you around the time you cycled across poland. and i loved it becase it was a whole journey, not just the "pretty" bits. and over time I found myself skipping videos becasue, I found that the "polished" content got kind of boring. soo I am very glad you decided to make a change and show the ''whole'' journey again. good luck and remember sticking to the algorithm is death, its the people who challenge the algorirm that grow to unimaginable beauty.
Hey, dont feel any pressure to go past where its fun for us. We will watch you anyways, infact I would hate watching if I knew you did not want to keep doing a trip jsut to make us happy. Go keep having fun, we will be there.
I've been watching you since close to your beginning on UA-cam, and I will continue watching you. It's been great watching you grow as a person. The love is real. 💚
Brava to you for this decision! This makes me want to watch your videos even more. You are living by example - traveling in a sustainable way, not only for the planet, but for your own health and wellbeing. You're a great storyteller, and I think you'll find a following that appreciates something different, something more relatable and genuine. Always trust your gut - don't follow the herd.
I found this channel today out of complete happenstance. I just watched your video on Baghdad. Your channel is my new binge. I cant wait to see where you have been, and where you are going. I know I’m only one of over a million, but you have a new fan as of today.
I'm so excited for you! Eva, you're positively amazing, such a wonderful storyteller, I'm looking so forward to watching all of your video vlogs I love it! Good luck and be safe my friend! 🥰
Hey Eva! You inspire me in so many ways I can’t tell you. Thank you so much for being authentic, raw and simple ♥️. I am so excited to follow your journey.. and if you happen to be in California while on this expedition I would love to meet you.
Hey Eva. Good luck with the new adventure! Looking forward to seeing the journey progress 😌 it’s been awesome following along for the last 2/3 years, seeing the world with you and watching you grow. Always inspiring. A lot of your comments about UA-cam, the pressure and unsustainable schedule rang true with me. I’m glad to see you taking control and making the change. It’ll be great to see! Bon journee!
Eva this sounds fantastic, this is your story and I feel very privileged to be sharing your story. Just keep yourself safe that is the most important thing.
I must say, IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC !!!!!!! Can't wait to see it all. YOU DO YOU !!! That's what I signed up for, Enjoy what you are doing and I/we will enjoy watching. You are an inspiration and a breath of fresh air. Thank You PS: I will buy your book when you get it done 👍😊
I'm here for the long haul, regardless the type of content you release. Every video to date, from the travel to building out Odyssey, has been high quality entertainment that I look forward to watching. ❤
Enjoy your life the way you want, people who loves you will continue following your journey!! Here in América Latina you will experience super powerful moments, I’m sure will be AWESOME!! Live it Eva ❤️❤️❤️
Eva I just found your channel and have been bing watching over the past two weeks. Love Love Love YOU. The content is always nice but you won’t loose me on this next adventure. It’s you I enjoy watching, whether you are meeting local people or traveling abroad. You make the content 🥰 Love watching you being you 💗
As a veteran Canadian touring musician, I can tell you that the Alaskan Highway is incredible! You’ll see wild life everywhere and it’s a beautiful, scenic drive. As far as bears go…well, try to stay in well-lit, semi-populated areas and you should be fine.
In my mind, the battle is exactly where you said it is: in your mind. "The world is your oyster" ... travel as slowly or as widely/narrowly as you need to do. Change the throttle lever as needed. Limited expectations here! :)
I am just a swedish boy living in America following a polish girl on her adventures. Your raw honesty and humble nature is what draws me to follow your stories. Stay safe with much love.
I gotta say its funny to me to read this from you cause you were cracking me up with your cautiousness of bears in Alaska, in winter! I say this playfully and with respect cause I'am definitely a fan of your videos!
What a great video Eva. I often think that the availability of cheap air travel has made us consumers of culture rather than experiencers of it - and the environmental impact of air travel is huge. The whole point of overlanding is to turn that on its head. I think you will probably gain a lot of followers who have been wanting to see something more of an epic adventure rather than short snippets of different places. I am one of these and I am looking forward to your journey!
You have a wonderful prowess. If even for a short period each week, we may live vicariously through you. To experience the humanity of the world through your eyes and mind. It is a wonderful feeling. Kudos on the write up in Overland Journal. It may be short but you make a big impact. Godspeed Eva.
Loved the introduction! I wish you all the best on this crazy endeavour and I'm excited to follow it along here. Thank you for your always on point and exciting content!
Yup but the problem is eva is doing it on that old defender and we all know it will break and in south central America there is no way you can find defenders spare parts etc and noraly is doing it on Honda CRF300L you will find Honda dealerships at every town almost and Honda is reliable asheck than the defender
Wow, I cannot tell you how happy this vlog has made me! It is about time a travel UA-camr promotes slow travel, which is not only more enjoyable but also much more friendly towards the environment. The fact that you feel that you have to apologise and justify yourself is quite depressing. Fast travel is so unrewarding and damaging, there is really no place for this right now, if we love our planet we must start looking after it and that partly means flying less and travelling more slowly. If you pass by Huaraz in Peru I would love to meet up with you Eva!
I’ve been watching your story since I found your channel. The enthusiasm and real feelings that you have about the places you have visited are as special as those places. I look forward to seeing your videos. Safe travels Eva!
Great that your have arrived at that point after 4 years. The most important part is that you be yourself and if you tell your story it might get even more exciting as what you have done before. Which you all the best for your journey and looking forward to your “new” story telling. I am sure it will be amazing.
Eva! You are such an inspiration! I’m so glad you’re getting to “your” journey! This is so amazing that it’s a bit similar to mine! I hope to meet in Central or South America one day!
🎩Hi, this is what I signed up for. Just following your journey, having fun and chilling out. The mundane stuff is just as interesting and the scenery is just breath taking. With you I am seeing places I would never be able to go to. So I’m all in 😊👍🏻
8:00 I love that quote. It ends with, "Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain." I had an experience with fear when I was 8 years old. I had to get a vaccination, or a booster or something. All I remember is knowing that in the doctor's office I would be getting a shot. By the time the nurse walked in with her covered tray (she wasn't fooling anyone. I knew what was under the cover) I was crawling up the walls. When she set the tray down I was ready to jump out the window, I was so anxious. So I was very surprised when she set the tray down, ignored it and asked if I liked magic. She had me concentrate as hard as I could on a number I felt her holding my arm at one point but I was thinking about my number so hard I didn't think to wonder why she was doing that. Finally she guessed my number and wasn't even close. So when I opened my eyes with disappointment in my heart that disappointment evaporated in an instant when I saw she had just performed the greatest magic trick ever. I saw her putting the used needle into the sharps container and I asked, "Did you already give me the shot?" She had. And the best part of this magic trick was, I realized that most of the pain from a shot comes from the fear of that shot. If you don't have the fear, you also don't have the pain. Sure, some shots still hurt, but the pain is nothing compared to what the fear made me feel. She was maybe the best pediatric nurse in the history of nursing. She certainly did he best magic ever.
Can’t wait to follow your stories. I’ve been following many travelers like yourself who are doing the same journey as you in bicycle, auto and motorcycle. I believe your travels will be also very exiting.
Ridiculously excited for this! So, anyone have any ideas as to what my surprise in June might be? 😅
While in Mexico, travel only by day.
Good luck on your trip. We'll be watching
Elon Musk invited you to Texas to take Odyssey for an orbit or two?

We love and deeply respect how you strive to live authenticity. We always know when we click on your YT vids or IG, we’re going to get the genuine Eva.
Eek thanks so much lovelies ❤️
Her name is E V A.
@@evazubeck ... this will be great. I’ll be on a 132 hour ride on Amtrak next month - which might be more daring - haha.
I am here for all your content!! I am so excited for this chapter.
Eva, I would expect nothing less from your adventures. This is YOUR adventure, and I thank you for bringing the rest of us with you.
I vote for this. It sounds actually very cool. I can't wait.
So happy to hear!!
Yes, yes, yes. Take your time and enjoy the journey. My favorite time in Italy was not running around and seeing the landmarks. It was taking a bus through Rome and getting off at a street market. I got to hear the vendors singing, cheeses and chickens swinging in the breeze, and people conversing in Italian and other languages. Yes, we want you to be happy and fulfilled and the best way to do that is to go slowly and listen to your heart. You are a treasure and a delight to watch. Whatever you choose to do...I am sure it will be lovely.
Sending bunches of hugs, A grandma in Coos Bay, Oregon.
Ahh yes those are absolutely the best moments 😍 thank you Ariana!
Eva your vids are incredible! No matter where you are. I’m so grateful for all content you share! Cheers!
WOW... you are a fascinating person! I just today found this channel, thanks to that fickle YT algorithm, and I am excited for your trip through the Americas here!
Will be eagerly anticipating you next installments, in the meantime, looks I have a few videos to catch up on!
Sending much love from south east Arizona.
Yes, keep telling us your story, and keep talking us with you to all your new travels.
Actually, much as I love watching you traveling and savoring your time interviewing locals and diving into different cultures and traditions; this road trip of yours is so inspiring for me. It motivates me to actually try working from anywhere--not necessarily doing extremes like what you do but just at least quitting working on the same office everyday.
I had been followed you for 2 years now & love every episode of it. You had helped me with my decision making in life & because of you, I NO longer regret decision I made anymore (I used to). lesson I learned from you is that any decision I made, it's still better than one that I didn't make good or bad, just lived with the outcome & learned from it. So, THANK YOU. I am wishing you all the best for your new 2 years project & can't wait to ride along with you (ON UA-cam of course). GOOD LUCK💖💖💖
As a seasoned traveller (pre-youtube) who has become more sedentary, I love how your videos transport me to a previous life. I watch your videos for your presentation and truthful style of content. I look fwd to this new adventure as you will be passing through my neck of the woods in Canada!
Thanks so much Kerry and wishing you continued, beautiful adventures ☺️
This is the first time that I have subscribed to any you tube channel. Your philosophy on this journey is in complete accordance with mine, and the things I've taught my children about travel. I wish you well and safe travels in this amazing trek.
You go girl!!!... excited on your new content. GL!
We’re here for YOUR journey. An absolute legend you are! So proud of you
So stoked for on this incredible journey! Its going to be awesome following along!
Thanks Chris! So excited 😁
The expectations on a single UA-camr are so intense. I’m really glad you’re setting a boundary for your personal health and well-being, which in itself is a journey 💛
Eva, i have been fallowing your adventures for years now and I’m not worried … You are making the right decision for yourself and in the end that’s all that counts! Enjoy your travels and thanks for taking us along!
Dear Eva, do what you love, love, what you do. Good decision doing the thing you like to do. 💓☺️
I've always enjoyed your vlog for you own adventures, big or small, rather than the actual travel part, so I'm really looking forward to following you on this epic journey! You are such an inspiration and I really appreciate your insights along the way. My hero, actually! I wish you all the best!
This was incredible! I can’t wait to watch this life thing unfold. I often wondered how you did the travels the way you did. I’m so excited for this and thanks for being so honest about how you feel. NO FEAR!
Of course you should write a book. You're an amazing travel vlogger, and writing travel lit will be so up your alley. I also dig the existential questions you ask yourself about living the experience, fear, your own journey, inner journey I mean. I think you are capable of bringing something new and unique to a book about travel experience. Go for it.
Now I'm truly curious and excited! Looking forward to the vlogs of this journey, and the book.
So, so much respect for you Eva, you are such an inspiration!
This is EXACTLY what I expected you to do when you bought Oddyssey and I was looking forward to it. I follow other UA-camrs who do this permanent travel kind of thing and I love what they are doing. Mind, I adore your documentary style videos like the one about the garbage collectors in Egypt, that is straight up journalism and I expect you to do more of those at a later stage in your career, but as far as travel is concerned, hopping all across the place is indeed tiring, even for me as a viewer.
I am very ready to follow you wherever you go on this loooooooong journey :) To speak the immortal words of Noraly Itchy Boots Schoenmaker: 'Let's go!'
Yay! Happy to hear we’re on the same page 😜
This is exactly why I watch your channel!
I also see now what my friends mean about my crazy eyes when I talk about my adventures! 🤣
Please take the side roads in the US, the interstate is great for commerce, but the smaller highways are where the life is.
Godspeed and safe travels!
Well, you inspired my wife andI to buy a truck and try it out - waiting on delivery of the vehicle now. So we will follow you regardless - and frankly, we love the idea of you taking time, because you will teach people like us to take our time also! one life right?
To me slow travel is the best. I've spent two and a half months in Peru in three trips and it still isn't enough for me. The journey is the destination for me
I just discovered your videos on youtube. You are so adorable its impossible to not watch. I'm not talking only physically, but your personality, adventurous spirit, and mannerisms too. Be safe. We'll all be watching.
I just discovered your youtube channel. You have no idea how much you are helping me. My mental health is treated by a psychiatrist and psychologist and watching your videos has made me start to think differently about life. thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You just follow your heart Eva ...this 1.4M family won't stop following you👍
hey queen! good luck on expedition wild
YOU truly inspire me Eva! I really like watching your videos. I love how you tell your story, your raw and awesome content, your spontaneity, your bravery, your carefree nature, your personality, I love everything about you. Thank you for breaking boundaries for all single thirty-year-old women in the world. :) Best of luck on your next big adventure! And if you happen to drive through the Okanagan in BC, I would love to meet you and Odyssey in person. Cheers! 😁
Completely understand where you are coming from! Looking forward to this promising and exciting journey!
I love watching YOUR story. It is great to get to see the world through you, but your experiences are what I love seeing.
It's good to see you so excited for this, reminds me of the excitement you had when you first started this journey. I never subscribed to see you in a new country/place every video, but just to watch your journey through life as you take the road less traveled in a very literal sense on the road and through life. It has been awesome to watch and inspiring. I've been preparing to do something a lot like this. purchased my dream vehicle and have been working on it and getting it ready to hit the road and enjoy life and leave everything behind and see what's out there. Always follow your dreams and what makes you happy, reguardless of what anyone on the internet might think of it. It is YOUR life after all.
So happy for you. Replied to your comment with 100% support for your wonderful decision to follow your heart 💓 You are already such a success and I think you're going to attract even more viewers effortlessly because it's your wonderful enthusiasm about discovering the new.. that fuels us too. 🌺
That is great that you have decided to look after yourself first. I ha e a small following on FB for my travels in Africa and I know how hard it is to keep the content coming. Good luck with the trip. BTW, you should meet up with a Dutch Lady who is doing the same journey on her motorbike called Alaska her channel is called Itchy Boots.
You’re videos are amazing. Yes take your time. No rush Eva. I always look forward to your new videos. You have such positive energy. 😇❤️🙌🏼👍🏽
You've given me something to look forward to in the next couple of years to come. Thank you so much. Fair winds and safe journey.
Eva, you have more than earned your place at the top of vlogging echelon (imho). Your content is truly unique and continues to connect in ways that I never could imagine. You definitely need to "do you", and I will continue to support your channel with this change, or through any other change down the road. I think I speak for many when I say that we come here to spend time with you, regardless of destinations. Have an incredible and luminous journey!
This sounds like an awesome adventure. I can’t wait to watch as you go.
Sounds like this is going to be another amazing journey! I, for one, can't wait to follow you on this new slow-paced adventure. I'm curious to see at what locations you'll be staying a little longer, what amazing people you'll meet and of course all your thoughts and ideas about it! :-)
So glad to hear you will be doing this new expedition. Looking forward to following you.
I actually started watching you around the time you cycled across poland. and i loved it becase it was a whole journey, not just the "pretty" bits. and over time I found myself skipping videos becasue, I found that the "polished" content got kind of boring. soo I am very glad you decided to make a change and show the ''whole'' journey again. good luck and remember sticking to the algorithm is death, its the people who challenge the algorirm that grow to unimaginable beauty.
Hey, dont feel any pressure to go past where its fun for us. We will watch you anyways, infact I would hate watching if I knew you did not want to keep doing a trip jsut to make us happy. Go keep having fun, we will be there.
I've been watching you since close to your beginning on UA-cam, and I will continue watching you. It's been great watching you grow as a person. The love is real. 💚
me too lol its been quite a wonderful journey :)
Brava to you for this decision! This makes me want to watch your videos even more. You are living by example - traveling in a sustainable way, not only for the planet, but for your own health and wellbeing. You're a great storyteller, and I think you'll find a following that appreciates something different, something more relatable and genuine. Always trust your gut - don't follow the herd.
I found this channel today out of complete happenstance. I just watched your video on Baghdad. Your channel is my new binge. I cant wait to see where you have been, and where you are going. I know I’m only one of over a million, but you have a new fan as of today.
Good for you Eva, follow your heart and what makes you happy. Enjoy
I'm so excited for you! Eva, you're positively amazing, such a wonderful storyteller, I'm looking so forward to watching all of your video vlogs I love it! Good luck and be safe my friend! 🥰
Hey Eva! You inspire me in so many ways I can’t tell you. Thank you so much for being authentic, raw and simple ♥️. I am so excited to follow your journey.. and if you happen to be in California while on this expedition I would love to meet you.
Hey Eva. Good luck with the new adventure! Looking forward to seeing the journey progress 😌 it’s been awesome following along for the last 2/3 years, seeing the world with you and watching you grow. Always inspiring.
A lot of your comments about UA-cam, the pressure and unsustainable schedule rang true with me. I’m glad to see you taking control and making the change. It’ll be great to see!
Bon journee!
Eva this sounds fantastic, this is your story and I feel very privileged to be sharing your story. Just keep yourself safe that is the most important thing.
I must say, IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC !!!!!!!
Can't wait to see it all.
YOU DO YOU !!!
That's what I signed up for, Enjoy what you are doing and I/we will enjoy watching.
You are an inspiration and a breath of fresh air.
Thank You
PS: I will buy your book when you get it done 👍😊
You can tell how much joy brings you talking about this project, and that’s already a great teaser of what’s about to come! Can’t wait 🤞🏻
I'm here for the long haul, regardless the type of content you release. Every video to date, from the travel to building out Odyssey, has been high quality entertainment that I look forward to watching. ❤
Enjoy your life the way you want, people who loves you will continue following your journey!! Here in América Latina you will experience super powerful moments, I’m sure will be AWESOME!! Live it Eva ❤️❤️❤️
very excited too see YOUR journey and thank you for taking us along for this ride!!
Eva I just found your channel and have been bing watching over the past two weeks. Love Love Love YOU.
The content is always nice but you won’t loose me on this next adventure. It’s you I enjoy watching, whether you are meeting local people or traveling abroad. You make the content 🥰
Love watching you being you 💗
Sounds like an amazing trip. Of course I’ll continue to follow your adventures.
As a veteran Canadian touring musician, I can tell you that the Alaskan Highway is incredible! You’ll see wild life everywhere and it’s a beautiful, scenic drive. As far as bears go…well, try to stay in well-lit, semi-populated areas and you should be fine.
But you know that's not her traveling style right 😂😅
@@StochasticGreen fine…then take on bears.
In my mind, the battle is exactly where you said it is: in your mind. "The world is your oyster" ... travel as slowly or as widely/narrowly as you need to do. Change the throttle lever as needed. Limited expectations here! :)
I can not WAIT to see this new adventure !! Best of luck to you and safe travels as always !
I am just a swedish boy living in America following a polish girl on her adventures. Your raw honesty and humble nature is what draws me to follow your stories. Stay safe with much love.
The good news is that bears aren't nearly as dangerous as coconuts.
LOL this is great 😂
no the good news is both are edible unfortunately one is reciprocally edible
I gotta say its funny to me to read this from you cause you were cracking me up with your cautiousness of bears in Alaska, in winter! I say this playfully and with respect cause I'am definitely a fan of your videos!
@@NowInIwoN hopefully she is not going camping in Alaska in the winter although there ARE less mosquitoes
Now I know the reason for your love for Greek beeches…..no coconut trees 🌴 😃
What a great video Eva. I often think that the availability of cheap air travel has made us consumers of culture rather than experiencers of it - and the environmental impact of air travel is huge. The whole point of overlanding is to turn that on its head. I think you will probably gain a lot of followers who have been wanting to see something more of an epic adventure rather than short snippets of different places. I am one of these and I am looking forward to your journey!
It's going to be worth EVERY 30.000 miles Eva!!
And yes, you will be writing a book or some sort of journals plus your reflections towards humanity and other things that matter.
Live life well, Eva!
You have a wonderful prowess.
If even for a short period each week, we may live vicariously through you. To experience the humanity of the world through your eyes and mind. It is a wonderful feeling.
Kudos on the write up in Overland Journal. It may be short but you make a big impact.
Godspeed Eva.
Loved the introduction! I wish you all the best on this crazy endeavour and I'm excited to follow it along here. Thank you for your always on point and exciting content!
Noraly (itchy boots) already half way done the route Argentina - Alaska. She is doing it alone in a bike.
If she can do it, you can too. Good luck!!
Yup but the problem is eva is doing it on that old defender and we all know it will break and in south central America there is no way you can find defenders spare parts etc and noraly is doing it on Honda CRF300L you will find Honda dealerships at every town almost and Honda is reliable asheck than the defender
But even Noraly couldn’t find the proper tyre replacements in El Salvador.Go figure.
And she is also from Poland AFAIK. I mean both Eva, and Itchy Boots.
@@atexc5604 isn't itchy boots dutch?
Yes itchy boots is from the Netherlands
Wow, I cannot tell you how happy this vlog has made me! It is about time a travel UA-camr promotes slow travel, which is not only more enjoyable but also much more friendly towards the environment. The fact that you feel that you have to apologise and justify yourself is quite depressing. Fast travel is so unrewarding and damaging, there is really no place for this right now, if we love our planet we must start looking after it and that partly means flying less and travelling more slowly.
If you pass by Huaraz in Peru I would love to meet up with you Eva!
I’ve been watching your story since I found your channel. The enthusiasm and real feelings that you have about the places you have visited are as special as those places. I look forward to seeing your videos. Safe travels Eva!
Great that your have arrived at that point after 4 years. The most important part is that you be yourself and if you tell your story it might get even more exciting as what you have done before. Which you all the best for your journey and looking forward to your “new” story telling. I am sure it will be amazing.
Eva! You are such an inspiration! I’m so glad you’re getting to “your” journey! This is so amazing that it’s a bit similar to mine! I hope to meet in Central or South America one day!
🎩Hi, this is what I signed up for. Just following your journey, having fun and chilling out. The mundane stuff is just as interesting and the scenery is just breath taking. With you I am seeing places I would never be able to go to. So I’m all in 😊👍🏻
Well said ^
8:00 I love that quote. It ends with, "Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
I had an experience with fear when I was 8 years old. I had to get a vaccination, or a booster or something. All I remember is knowing that in the doctor's office I would be getting a shot. By the time the nurse walked in with her covered tray (she wasn't fooling anyone. I knew what was under the cover) I was crawling up the walls. When she set the tray down I was ready to jump out the window, I was so anxious.
So I was very surprised when she set the tray down, ignored it and asked if I liked magic.
She had me concentrate as hard as I could on a number I felt her holding my arm at one point but I was thinking about my number so hard I didn't think to wonder why she was doing that.
Finally she guessed my number and wasn't even close. So when I opened my eyes with disappointment in my heart that disappointment evaporated in an instant when I saw she had just performed the greatest magic trick ever. I saw her putting the used needle into the sharps container and I asked, "Did you already give me the shot?"
She had. And the best part of this magic trick was, I realized that most of the pain from a shot comes from the fear of that shot. If you don't have the fear, you also don't have the pain.
Sure, some shots still hurt, but the pain is nothing compared to what the fear made me feel.
She was maybe the best pediatric nurse in the history of nursing. She certainly did he best magic ever.
Can’t wait to follow your stories. I’ve been following many travelers like yourself who are doing the same journey as you in bicycle, auto and motorcycle. I believe your travels will be also very exiting.
This is awesome. So glad she will travel through Colombia such a beautiful country.
