To all concerned: I heard from Danny today. They are fine! They are in Philly, fixing up the van. They will be back very soon! I can't wait to hear the tales of the trip back to the states!
@@richdt6312 I agree. Other RU-vidrs I've watched post a short paragraph or something of the sort to update their subscribers when they plan to be gone awhile. I guess they don't owe us anything, but it would've been a nice and simple courtesy to extend to their subscribers. :(
Hi Danny and Emily😊we miss you guys as well as Sombrita and Graham❤ It’s been a while since your last video in mid-August, I’ve been watching you since Costa Rica when @SnowAndCurt introduced you guys, since then I have not missed your Saturday videos, I pray you guys are doing well and that you made it to the US.💕 We’re a bit concerned since there have not been any updates here or in Instagram. I do pray that soon we will hear from you again. We love you all.🙏🏽🌎🤗
I'm starting to worry that something terrible has happened. Not a word here or on Insta. I do so hope someone has heard from you as I am worried there was something sketchy with that shipping container guy. If someone has heard from them, please let us know!!!
@@beautyinwandering2697 I checked with Snow and Curt and they haven't heard from them either. I'm sure their families are dealing with this situation and are either in touch with them or the authorities. 🙏🙏
HELLO HELLO?! You haven’t made a video in 3 weeks. My wife and I want to know all about your trip back to the United States. Know the process of bringing Sumbrita to the United States. Your new ideas for the van. Meet old friends and family.
Hello hello what happened haven't heard from you guys in a long time I miss my favorite van Life channel send some photos let us know what you all up to now😮
Hey guys its been a while since we've heard from you two. Hope all is well that you have found a way to get back to the US. Missing your videos drop a short let us know your okay.
I started missing you two, four, haha, so back tracked and thought I'd ask if y'all are ok???? It's been three weeks since we've seen a video posted and I'm just concerned. I know there were still questions about a container buddy, etc. Praying all is well and you're just taking a break🙏❤️
Please keep us updated on your journey thru life. We've gotten to know you both over the years & will miss our weekly visits 🤗 Hopefully, your absence will be short. Soon you'll be back ! Much love, safe travels & Godspeed
i can't believe its been two years since panama. I've watched every episode since you met snow&curt. Where does time go?! I completely understand why you would want yr own bathroom. That's a lot to give up. Plus I'm not brilliant with public toilets 😂
Hey! Thanks for watching our videos and for your concern about safety. We definitely prioritize safety when it comes to our adventures in the van. *Safety first, always!* While we don't have lithium batteries on board, we do take precautions to prevent any potential fires. Thanks! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
Whatever the hurdle, like sorting out the shipping schedule, you are such a joy to watch while you work things out together with smiles and optimism, every step of the way! And Sombrita even got her spa day! You are an inspiration! Hope your AirBnb is great and safe travels home...Inflation in the U.S, has been sky high..gas prices to groceries, significant in the last 2-3 years.
Hey Mario! Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the journey with us and that we were able to take you to some amazing places. It's always our goal to share the beauty and wonder of the world through our videos. We can't wait to continue exploring and bringing you along for the ride! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
I am missing your videos here on RU-vid. I am hoping that y’all are doing ok?????? I hope that you guys are safe hope to hear an update soon. Love you guys and Grahame and Sambrita. Please be safe.
Hey Joseph! Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your comment. I am indeed very happy and grateful for the adventures I've been able to experience. Traveling through South America in our van with Graham and Sombrita has been an incredible journey, filled with so many beautiful moments and new discoveries. It's definitely been a confidence booster to navigate different cultures and landscapes. Life is an adventure, and I'm just enjoying the ride! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
😢 after all we've been through together I find it hard to believe that you would be the type of people that quit van life and not fill us in on on what's going on. Where are you? HOW do we find you, are you okay?😢❤🌴🌹
Hey Elizabeth! Thank you so much for your awesome comment! I'm thrilled that you're enjoying our journey so far. It's been such an incredible experience exploring South America with my furry companions, Graham and Sombrita. The next adventure is just around the corner, and I can't wait to share it with you all! 🚐💜🐕🦺🐈⬛ Stay tuned for more exciting updates and breathtaking scenery. Sending you lots of love! ❤️
Been missing you guys. Missing Sambrita and Graham. Did you guys make it home safely??? Concerned about your welfare and if we could have some sort of response to say your safe. It doesn’t matter where you are just that your safe.
I guess one has to pay a membership to get updates. Hopefully Im wrong and they are ok. Anyway, I have a question about the reason they were meeting with shipping agent or why they wanted a container buddy. Thanks
You think You tube would mention something if it was negative or thier family would mention ! They must be taken a long break? Working on new van? That will be thier update?
Hey there, The Kombi Chronicles! Aw, thank you so much for your sweet comment. It's always a bit bittersweet to say goodbye to the South America we've grown to love, but we're excited for the next chapter of our adventure. Shipping can definitely be a bit nerve-wracking, but we're crossing our fingers and paws that everything goes smoothly. Your kind wishes mean a lot to us! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
@@the.vandersons we are still following in your footsteps and are looking forward to getting to Ushuaia by next February. Having shipped our little VW from the UK to New York and from Panama to Cartagena we too know the joys of shipping 😭
Hey Sam! Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes and the good luck vibes for shipping our van! We're super excited to hit the road and explore more of this beautiful continent. 🚐💜 And thank you for the Bon Voyage wishes too! It means a lot to us. We'll definitely keep you all updated on our adventures. Have an amazing day, Sam! 😄🌟🐕🦺🐈⬛
Hey Gigi! Thank you so much for your kind wishes! We had an amazing anniversary, filled with love and laughter. And oh, don't worry about the shipping, *fingers crossed*, it's going smoothly so far. Appreciate your thoughtfulness, and your emojis made me smile! 🎉😅 Sending you lots of positive vibes! Keep spreading that cheer!
Happy Anniversary! My Uber driver was telling me things were cheaper in Uruguay than Brasil. But he was talking about liquor. I don't really have to worry about that. They gave me a shot of cachaça in a restaurant last night. That was enough for me. 😊
Thank you so much, Gill! It's always fun to hear about your adventures too! That's interesting to hear about the price difference between Uruguay and Brazil. I guess it depends where you shop! Keep enjoying your travels and keep us updated on your amazing journey! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
Hola Carlos y Valeria! Gracias por su mensaje! The van, Graham, Sombrita, Danny, and I are all doing great. Miss you guys and hope you're well! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
Hey Lucila! 💜 We miss you too! It's always so heartwarming to see your comments. We've been having such an amazing time here in South America, exploring new places and meeting incredible people. The van life with Graham and Sombrita has been such a rewarding adventure. We've been going on some epic hikes and bike rides, and the views are just breathtaking. We can't wait to share all of our experiences with you in our upcoming videos. Thank you for your constant support and for being a part of our journey. Sending you lots of love and virtual hugs! 🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
Hey there! Yeah, it's a tough time with inflation impacting so many places around the world. Still, it pales in comparison to Argentina's _official_ 100% inflation last year, and over our time we saw over a 300% rise in the unofficial rate 🤯🫣. So tough for the world cup champions over there, and I hope the situation improves soon. However it's very cheap to travel there.
Hi! I’m sure you made it back to the U.S.A. safe and sound, Sofrita & Gram also! It was wonderful riding through South America with you! It just doesn’t feel right🙃to me yet, lol! Thank you! & ❤️HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ❤️TO A WONDERFULLY MELLOW, LOVING, DELIGHTFUL and CHARMING HUSBAND & WIFE ❤️❤️
Thanks for another great video! We have really enjoyed all of your adventures! Loving the pet segments and shots of Montevideo. Good luck on your shipping endeavors!
Hey Andy! Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our adventures and the pet segments. Graham and Sombrita definitely steal the show sometimes! 😉 Montevideo is such a beautiful city, and we're glad you liked the shots. Shipping can be a bit of a challenge, but we're staying positive and hoping for the best. Thanks again for watching and being a part of our journey! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
Hey! 💜🚐🐈⬛ Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comment! We're getting everything ready for our next chapter, and the anticipation is building up. Stay tuned for more updates and keep spreading the love! ✌️❤️
I bet you are ready for a break from van life! When I first started watching all the different channels a couple years ago that were based on van life, I wanted to sell out and do the same, but circumstances did not allow me to do so. But I'm sure after a couple years I would have been screaming for a place to land and have a regular life again. I will be praying for reliable container buddy and for things to work out in a safe and cost effective way🙏
Hey Wanda! Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it! *Van life can definitely be challenging at times*, but I gotta say, I still absolutely love it. It's been such an incredible adventure exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. But I totally understand, I need a break! *It's important to listen to your heart and do what feels right for you*. I'll keep you posted on our container buddy search and hopefully we'll find a reliable one soon. Thanks again for your support, Wanda! Sending you lots of love and positive vibes! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
Hey Joanne! Thank you so much for your kind words and well wishes. It means a lot to us! We're always striving to have safe and exciting adventures here in South America. We've been taking precautions and doing our best to stay safe on the road. Wishing you lots of adventures and happiness as well. Take care and stay safe! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
Thank you so much, Oshayr! I really appreciate your kind wishes. It's hard to believe that another year has passed since we started this incredible journey. 💜🚐🐕🦺
Exciting to be going home. Do both of you live close to each other? Enjoy your time at home and Stay Safe ❤Do you plan to stay at home and then are you going over to Europe ❤
Hey Deloris! Thanks for your comment and well wishes. It's always exciting to be heading back home after a journey. Our parents live 2,500 miles from each other 😅 As for our plans, we're definitely looking forward to some downtime at home, spending quality time with our furry companions, Graham and Sombrita. We'll be taking some hikes and bike rides together, exploring the beautiful nature around us. Have a wonderful day! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
Where are you shipping to?? It probably depends on what state you enter into . I think California is more expensive than Texas, but I could be wrong. I'm in Pa and some items are up 5$ ( just recently). I'm trying not to purchase certain things.. Enjoy your stay and showers wherever you stay. ❤️
@@kimballjanice151 not sure? I am not in contact, I just did detective work and looked on thier patreon page to see if they were posting.This way we know they are 👍
Hey! Thanks for your comment! I would definitely recommend visiting Uruguay if you have the chance. It's a hidden gem that often gets overlooked, but it has so much to offer. Whether you're into relaxing on the beach, exploring historical sites, or indulging in delicious veg food, Uruguay has something for everyone. So go ahead and add it to your travel bucket list! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛ Let me know if you have any other questions about our adventures in Uruguay!
Hey Ivory keys! Thanks for your comment and for being patient with us. I totally get it, cooking a full meal in the van is something we've been wanting to show you all. We've been having so much fun exploring and trying out different snacks on the road, but I understand that you're eager to see a proper meal being cooked. *Don't worry*, we'll definitely make it happen soon! We're planning to whip up a delicious vegan feast in the van and share the recipe with you all. Stay tuned for that and keep the excitement going! 💜🚐🌱
🙏💔Your last Video title ❤was Last Day in the Van . I did not expect it to be the last time to see you. Someone please reach out to our community and let us know what is going on! ❤We love you very much, Stephanie 🌹Rose from Florida🌴🙏 it's now saying 2 months ago😢💔😢💔😢💔😢💔😢💔😢💔😢💔
You will be surprised at the US prices. I would say that everything is about 50% more than two years ago. Your video was a bit choppy but I enjoyed it anyway. Lol. I know you're busy getting ready for shipping so your life is choppy right now. ❤
Hey Cathy! Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment. I'm glad you still enjoyed it, even though it was a bit choppy. *Lol, life on the road can be unpredictable sometimes!* 😄 And oh, I totally get what you mean about prices going up 😬 Thanks again for your support 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
because they can't really tax the people to cover government costs, Latin America governments tax imports at least 100%. All the import parts become triple and quadruple the price. Shipping costs to where you are, government taxes, port agent costs, retail mark-up another 100%. I hate to be right, but I think you should have sold your van, recovered some money and save on shipping
Hey Mario! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. However, selling our van wouldn't have been the best option for us. We would only be able to sell it to another foreigner and it would still be in our name, they would just receive the power of attorney over the vehicle. Sending back all of our stuff would end up being difficult. We appreciate your input though, and it's always interesting to hear different perspectives. Keep those comments coming! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
I never did it, but dealing with the paper work of importing the van so you can then re-sell to another owner must be daunting in Latin America. It's a thought for the future: coordinating with a buyer in Tierra del Fuego with someone starting their trip to Alaska. Saves lots on shipping and paper work. @@the.vandersons
Hey Jacqueline! Thanks for leaving a comment. I'm sorry if my video was confusing for you. Everything has been kind of crazy recently. Ill try to clear it up in the next video 😊🚐💜
@@ivorykeys1566 I would become a Patron if I knew not was wot while and would open up info as well. I thought you were shipping to Philadelphia. Hope all is well..
Hey Mickey! Absolutely, exciting times indeed! Thanks for joining me on this journey, and I hope it brings excitement and joy to your day too! 💜🚐🐕🦺🐈⬛
By all means they are entitled to a break and time off. But it is kinda rude to just ghost your followers. Maybe they had good reason. But a simple, we are taking a break, gonna get some stuff done, regroup, decompress and we'll be back when we're back would of been completely sufficient.
