Let the Wallygate saga begin.. Or is it Waldogate 🤔
This one took a lot of effort to film over the 4 days. I truly hope we did it justice. Let us know which hike you'd prefer!
As always, thank you for taking the time to share your Sundays with us ❤️❤️❤️
Max & Lee 🤘🏻👌🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's officially Wally as he was created Wally in the UK by British author Martin Handford. He's Wally in most of the English speaking Western World but for some reason was renamed Waldo in the US. It's not the only place where he was given an alternate name though - In Germany, he's Walter ("Wo ist Walter?") and in Norway, he's Willy. In France, he became Charlie, in Denmark, Holger and in Israel, Effi.
Wally must be an Australian version. Lee, you’re right- it’s Where’s Waldo!
The original book is British and the title is 'Where's Wally?', which is the version that was released in Australia. International editions were then released using localised names, with the North American version released as 'Waldo'. Examples of other localised names are: 'Walter' for the German version, 'Charlie' for the French version, and 'Holger' for the Danish version. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where's_Wally
In the US it's always been Where's Waldo 😁
Hope we see your Mom again on your adventures. She’s such a beautiful soul.
There are already plans for 2020 😉
I would love to assume she can swim, as she's Australian. Too much to hope she's a sailor , too?
@@MaxLeeandOccy This hasn't aged well... Lol
So sorry to hear of this beautuful woman passing away. RiP.
His mom passed away?
@@carlindurfee7566 no she passed away the main girl in the video. She jumped in front of a train in Santa Barbara
@@vanessacardenas318 what? Is this real?
@@vanessacardenas318 Wtf??? serious??
@@PirateKing1256 Yes, it's sad news. It's on Max's channel if I'm not mistaken
24:00 ... I imagine that’s the last time Jane ever saw Lee. Oh Lee, if only you could’ve seen how loved you really were ... 🕊
It’s definitely “Where’s Waldo” in the states so I’m team Lee on this one
In the US growing up, the book was Where's Waldo. I got you, Lee. 😋 Maybe it's a North American thing?
Woohoo, you know I will be tallying up who wins 😉And unluckily for Max we have more North Americans in this community hehe 🙌🏼🤗
Yep, US is def Waldo. Score, Lee! 😁
Waldo for sure
@@clintwood9589 But if the original creation was Wally (which it was) then who wins??
@kragseven But in Portuguese and Spanish speaking countries, they use Wally. So I think that means Max wins until they go back to the US or Canada.
The name of this youtube channel should be *Occy trekking with his human friends*. Greetings from Lima 🇵🇪
Anto6504 Totally love that!! We’re also full time travelers and just left Machu Picchu it was incredible. Would totally love having a little companion like that.
tren hard anavar give up
Ha may have to be changed!
@ Anto6504...I could not help but laugh out loud when you said that. Excellent point! :-)
I love your videos. I've got brain disease and can't travel anymore, so I do it through you guys. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Watching this now in honour of Lee, remembering the amazing things she achieved (with Max and Occy and mum).
Max your mama is amazing, beautiful spirit and can't believe she trekked all that way, I would've struggled.
Jane you’re an inspiration! Life isn’t over until it’s over. Never limit yourself based on age. 🤗💕
Couldn't agree more Kristin!!
She is only 59 not 69. I agree age is just a number.
In the USA it’s “Where’s Waldo”
Your mom is amazing and beautiful
Max your Mom is awesome. What a trooper ! She’s so beautiful!
WOW!This video touched me in so many ways! Of course it was amazing & beautiful as usual, but your mom added a different perspective to the video for me as an older woman with chronic illness/disabilities. I was so proud of your mom for accomplishing this hike & being able to cross off a bucket list item. When she said her age, it just made me cry. I'm so happy for her! I used to LOVE to hike. I was very active up to becoming so ill in 2012 & now I can't even go shopping with my friends w/o having to bring my wheelchair. I miss my old life! This disease & the many conditions have taken so much from me. I don't talk about this side of chronic illness very much because I prefer to stay positive & try to be a light & an example for others struggling as well....but I couldn't move on to the next video w/o commenting what was in my heart.
Thank you for sharing your mom with us, she is an amazing woman! Her good bye was very touching. Of course I cried again! Lol Its always hard for me to leave when I'm visiting my children.
Oh & its 'Wheres Waldo' in the US as well. Lol
Much love! 💗
I loved it throughout the hike and stuff....but your love ,respect and affection for your mum was what I loved the most...your mum's a sweetheart........godbless
Aww thank you Prabhdeep!
In Australia they say Wally and in North America it’s Waldo.
In Germany it's Wo ist Walter? and in French Où est Charlie? xD Same but different.
Just Being Ry confirmed! I’m Canadian- It’s Waldo over here, eh?
It was made by an English person originally, and it's Wally in England... and lots of places. As far as I can tell, it's only called Waldo in the US and Canada, but I don't know why they didn't just use the same name here.🤷♂️
wait is Wally a name because I've never heard that except for the movie
It is Wally in Spain as well (¿Dónde está Wally?)
I did this trek 2 months ago. It was sooo challenging for me but I'm so proud of myself for doing it. I'm 57 but I'd be proud of doing it at any age! I traveled around America with my old dog until she passed away (after she saw 48 states) so I will be watching your past & present adventures! Safe travels!
Great video and trip, watching this in memory of Lee and thinking of ALL her Family, friends, Max and Occy at this terrible time. It's heartbreaking to watch, just as a fan of you guys, but it's also amazing to be able to still see her smile, laugh and have fun, in better times.
She was such a bright light and amazing person she lived life to the fullest! Blazing a trail wherever she went and I hope, in time, you guys can hold onto and cherish those great memories and time you were blessed with her in your lives..
God Bless Lee, RIP. May you forever be at peace and happy now. Love from London England 😥💔🙏❤️🏴
Jane is incredible. What a beautiful woman inside and out. Great job on the hike everyone! Who else wishes they had Occys life? 🙋🏼♀️
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♂️
And yep spot on Dia, incredible woman!!
Macho Picchu is number 1 on my bucket list!! 😍💕
It's a good number 1!
Words cannot describe the feeling I had while watching this episode, absolutely amazing!! Your mom is a rock, I would not have been able to breathe at 12000 feet let alone hiked it. Thank you for sharing this with all of us 💜
My thoughts exactly:)
May Lee find the Peace and Joy she brought to us in these videos. Max, so proud of your mom. You and your dog are just amazing! Continue to love life. God bless you all.
I love Jane. I’m a bit older but not too much, she has definitely inspired me.
That's so great to hear Eileen!
I'm a bit younger, but not too much...she sure is an inspiration:)
I kept tearing up watching this 😭 And not through any negative emotion, it's just so overwhelmingly beautiful. And doing it with family and Occy.....OMG I just can't 😂💕😱
The best kind of tears xx
Your mom is a perfect traveling companion. She has such a beautiful infectious smile. I hope she can share more adventures with you in the future. As always great editing and beautiful drone shots.
We went the easy way via train but we also stayed in the Sacred Valley for two days. 21 of us all got along beautifully and enjoyed every minute. We had 4 guides who took care of every need and gave their very best to keep us happy. The views were absolutely stunning no matter where we went and to me the people were beautiful. Peru has always been a place I wanted to go for over fifty years and I sure wasnt disappointed. If I had the chance I would go back and explore more.
As a fellow Canadian I must agree with Lee, it's Where's Waldo?
Hells yeah!
Yup...Canadian...it'd where's Waldo...one of my sons favourites....
Us french speaking Canadians were actually looking for Charlie lol
@@Rayaelle no way... How do you say the whole thing in French?
Où est Charlie? (Where's Waldo) :p
Loved loved loved seeing you have your Mom, Max and of course Lees Mom too-:). It is a blessing as a Mom for their kids to honor them in this way by including them in some of the journey(s). It's hard enough when the child rearing years are over and the children think or assume that the parents would not like to be included in some of the adventurous activities or just to have some time to socialize/fellowship together as adult children to parents-:). The journeys in life go way to fast, I pray that we can ALL be better at utilizing the time we have❤️... Family/Friends/Community❤️🙏🏽
I believe it is a good incentive for ALL MUMS AND DADS to stay in the best shape they can so this could be possible-:). Parents and children do not have to go their own separate ways ALL the time...Having experiences as adult children to their parents is healthy and should be promoted more. Thank you Max and Lee for showing this on your channel❤️. Bravo Zulú to Jane, you did amazing and set a bar for all maturing parents that their is much to do and see and is possible if you do your part in taking care of yourself😃👍🏽.
I had seen thus hike done in another u-tube channel and is definitely one on my bucket list-:). Max, Lee and Mom can you discuss items to have on you whether in your backpack or carrying on you. Also what size if backpack would you recommend? What about overnight camping needs? Also for Jane, do you have any additional helps suggestions for those who are nicely maturing? Thank you ALL for taking time to address❤️👍🏽
I can't believe how amazing, smart and well behaved your dog is. Occy is the best!
Seeing all of you on this journey as a family is so inspiring, it actually made me tear up. You give people so much with sharing all of your adventures. I can´t thank you enough! This track is on my bucket list from now on. Greetings and much love from Germany!
Your mum rocks! And she is fortunate indeed to have been able to experience the trek with both of you + Occy! I'd love to do the same with my son.
Occy taking that climb like a boss! 😂😂😂.Thats a good boy right there.
Such a good boy!
Occy belongs to which breed bro!
I love how Occi is always making sure everyone is doing good. What a great doggy! 😍
"Mom" YOU'RE MY HERO!!!! I mean this for real! I just turned 46 and have always wanted to go here. You've given me hope again that I can STILL do it. I've traveled over the ponds from myb homeland America to Paris, Jamacia, The Yucatan Ocho Rios, and naturally Canada being so close to it. But THIS is my #1 on my bucket list.
Oh wow! Nelo was my guide back in 2006 when I did a 2 day hike.....I am so happy to see he is still around. I am going back to Peru in July and will have to seek him out and say hello again! Thanks for the upload!
Keep coing back to rewatch all of any videos with Lee.She lived such a amazing life saw and did incredible things .UA-cam please keep all of these up so all of use can keep her memory going .
Yes please
Breaks my heart to watch this now. I remember watching it as it happened. I just so miss you three together ❤😥
Thank you Max & Lee for showing me a place I've always wanted to see. Your video was so much better than watching a documentary on tv because you guys made it personal and watching Occy enjoy it made it that much better. Hope Jane had a fabulous birthday! Safe travels!! ❤️
Absolutly freakin amazing. And i cant believe Occy is further along my bucket list than i am!
😂😂 He is sneaky like that!
@@MaxLeeandOccy you absolutely give him the best life a furkid could ever want!
Your best video ever!!! Thanks for taking us along. Be safe!
Thanks mate, stoked to read this!
This was an amazing adventure. Max your Mum is extraordinary. Thanks for sharing. This was so outstanding and so was your Lee and your dog. What a team. Keep up the great work you guys.
Your Mum has the best attitude, I absolutely love her.
That was perfection!! Great tour & footage; hugs to Occy🐶
Occy is so brave walking on the train track! I have so many dogs freak out walking out on our crabbing dock and you can barely see the water! Another amazing and inspiring video! So proud of all of you! 😘 and hugs you the best you tubers around!
PERU IS WONDERFUL
IS AMAZING 💜
THE PERUVIAN FOOD IS DELICIOUS
So lovely to have your mom over for a few weeks and make memories together!
I love that everywhere Occy goes he makes friends. He really is such a good boy. And Lee your Mom is amazing and now we see where you get it from.
Jane is Max's mom, not Lee's.
@@jmk1962 And you must be really bored to correct a comment I made last year. Though you are correct and i was not but still even Max did not correct me :)
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I backpacked through Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil in my late 20's, visited Machu Picchu but didn't know there was hiking trails like this, so I so much envy your ability to make that kind of hike. There might arguably be more beautiful places in the world but the Peruvian Andes are so spectacular that you're just continuously in a state of being awestruck (and I'm the same age as your mother so tremendous kudos to her for making the journey!....and even arriving in Cuzco, had altitude sickness for a few days so her perseverance is even more commendable!) Thank you again for the stunning scenery; it brings back such fond memories :)
I am peruvian, they are hiking in Huaraz too, it is almost 21 days or hiking alternatives there, it is like a patagonian peruvian. They are hiking in Iquitos too, in the jungle but really I respect the jungle it is intimidate me. If you in discovery there are hiking in Peruvian Jungle and it is not easy.
I love that you shared this adventure with your beautiful mom ❤
WOW!!! so amazing, thank you for sharing, its like being there with you . Bless you all
Wow Jane is my age and in such great shape....an inspiration for sure❤️
Mum goals
Awesome you guys. So thankful for your beautiful photography. Always wanted to go to Machu Pichu, but was never able to go due to very bad knees. Just grateful to have been able to share your journey with Auggie & Mom. God bless you and your continued travels. I'll be along with you all the way. You guys rock!
Aww well we are so happy to have taken you along with us then Jenny!! ❤️
I’m Peruvian and I’ve been in Cuzco and Machupicchu twice but never like you guys, thank you for showing us this beautiful journey, I want to go back and to the trek now.
Glad Occy had a great time. Awesome scenery.
You guys are soo freaking awesome! Thanks for taking us through the journey 🕺🏻
Aw cheers William! Our pleasure mate!!
I made sure I:
1) watched this whilst on the stair master at the gym so I didn’t feel lazy watching you lot hike the trail
2) made sure I went to the gym at peak hour so I had so many people around me to avoid me crying like a baby watching you all reach Machu Picchu 😭 it’s my dream ✨
WELL DONE OCCY ⚡️⚡️⚡️ {and Jane, what a legend}
😂😂😂
God bless both of you and lots of love for your beautiful Mom.
What a wonderful Mother. What an amazing dog. You two are fortunate.
You have such a cool mom! Beautiful Vlog - I even had tears in my eyes at the end. Thanks for sharing!
Happy birthday Mum.. good job on the hike.. look great for 49 😉
❤️
Fantastic stuff! I am so much better off by watching this video. What a trooper your mother is and cheers to both of you for being so wonderful. Occy definitely won the lotto!
I’m so proud of Oct, he did very very well & looks like it was a lot of fun, his such a positive chappy
I like you share my country with the world.
Keep up the good work :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the whole experience, all the places and landscapes are hands down truly amazing, btw the original discoverer of machu picchu was the peruvian Agustin Lizarraga in 1902, greeting from Lima-Perú
Occi was amazing! Thank you for taking us on that cool journey. A real treat. It made me cry to see Jane and Lee saying goodbye! ♡♡♡
Very very nice adventurers and adventures! Choquequirao is waiting for you. Joy your lives. Blessings! Thank you for visiting our paradise Peru!
When Lee and Mum were saying bye and she teared up, I teared up 😭
Awsomeness to do as you all did.👍👍👍🐾💕💕💕 I'm so happy for you all. Glad your mom was able to visit and travel with you,so Grand.👍💕💕💖💖
Thanks Shirley!
Beautiful video excellent views and Mum did really well, well done guys and Occy.
Your mom the best!
Brilliant video and So beautiful the scenery but it looks hard walking. Sad that Lee has lost her battle with depression. Incredible that a vibrant young woman couldn’t find anything to live for. Condolences to her family and Max and his family.
After three videos I can say I love Jane!! Such an inspiration! I love her enthusiasm and sweetness! I hope she enjoys you guys soon! :) Amazing adventure all together and Machu Pichu as usual Speechless!
P.S. I love guys when you speak Spanish and I really appreciate you that you are making an effort to learn it! :) kisses from Barcelona!!
Thanks for sharing your video.Enjoyed watching it. I wished i did my Salkantay Trek with you ( Sept.9-13,2019) Did it thru a local tour group in Cusco with a bunch of 3 European couples.I am a very fit 64 yr old Aussie, but had trouble with altitude and hypothermia on day1 in freezing conditions. I did the trek pretty much on my own esp. on day 3 when the guide didnt even check up on me. Like you, I found climbing down on day 2 was tough under difficult conditions of rough terrain, mud,and rain. Knee played up and blisters on both feet. A very tough trek indeed! We had some amazing crew who cooked some beautiful food that we didnt go hungry. The hotel was just so good after a 10 km walk to Aqua Calientes with hot water and bed to finally sleep after 4 days of hiking and camping. We were rewarded with the beautiful sight of Machu Picchu. Its so cool that you can trek with your super doggie. Well done!
What an awesome adventure!! Loved the drone shots too. Occy took my breath away when he walked over that train bridge!! Way to go Occy!!
Absolutely beautiful vlog mom and Lee at the end had me tears 😭 occy occ is such a trooper and here in Las Vegas it’s where is Waldo lol love you guys
Another excellent video, great work guys, hiking all that way, especially Jane. Loved every second of it!
Thanks team!!
Love off the beaten path trekking!!! That was awesome!!! Give my love to Occy!!!!❤
Jane, amazing! Great job Mom. You did fantastic.
Seeing Occy go with you guys to all of these incredible places inspires me to bring my Kona Bear with me on my travels! 😌🐶💛
Team North America here, it's definitely Waldo :)
Team America .. F*ck yeah!
Awww Occy and Mom too!! Just brilliant!
What a beautiful and wonderful place, that was one of my favorite hikes, the Salkantay, its not easy !
My brother and I did it in 2015 for my 67 birthday.
And the second 'thumb up' -> 👍 Great exploring guys!😀
Cheers matey!
Beautiful hike, I did the Inka trail in 2006 and was amazed by the beauty! Loved seeing your mom challenge herself and Occy have an amazing time😊
Yes both have amazing scenery to offer and different challenges in their own way!
This was one the best hikes I've done! Beautiful landscapes!
Absolutely loved the video, the trail and the views, however, what really did it for me is your Mom and Wally. Such a caring vibe all around. Thank you for this gentle, non pretentious video.
Its 100% wheres Waldo, Ontario gotta stick together!
100 hey 🤔
