Hi Naick and Kim, we were so happy to have you visit us in our little piece of heaven in Mexico. We enjoyed your company and look forward to watching you both on your adventures in Mexico and beyond. Happy travels , wishing you all the best.

I appreciate your optimism and humor at all times, it is a pleasure to watch your videos! That couple was so kind to prepare Belgian chocolate for you, I think I have to fell in love with them! 😍 Great job again, thanks a lot for sharing！👍🥰❤🙏

The biggest crime you had to worry about were the tolls.

That restaurant looked so very special. Lucky to have met Pam and Steve.

What a nice visit, with nice people ❣️ I was always afraid to go to Mexico, when I lived in California, my teenage daughter when with her friends more than once. I found out by her as an adult, I would have freaked out! The horror stories I’ve heard. I wish I went with some friends, but didn’t have any. It’s nice to see you’ll have a great time.😊💗

Thank you so much for this great video! I have lived for a bit more than 3 years in Mexico, and actually have encountered on those 3 years only 1 really "hazardous situation that did not make me feel safe". While on my 4 years living in Brussels, I have lived through quite "many hazardous situations that did not make me feel safe". It's all about perspective, keeping your wits about, and not hang out at inconspicuous hours in the bad places, wherever you are.

Awesome video! Thanks guys....and wonderful meeting you. See you down the road!

Happy you had good time and share with us

I'm really enjoying your journey through Mexico and I'm happy that you have been met with only kindest. Thanks for another fun video.

The hat was a good buy but the Kayak was a MUST!! There are risks everywhere.... be smart and you will be fine....safe travels! I wonder if those that espouse the fear the most are the ones who travel the least, if not at all. ~JB

We just drove through Sonaloa today!! We drove north from Mazatlan to Ciudad Oberon and will cross into US tomorrow as we head back to Canada. It was a good (though somewhat stressful) drive without any problems. We love Mexico and the people who live there!

I been to different parts of Mexico on several occasions but never to the north, we have never felt unsafe. You have confirmed what I already though about Mexico, 1 one person gets killed and its wall-to-wall coverage on the news.

The dinner conversation was so heartwarming!

We’ve lost quite a few Canadians down there!

Great video again - I have been binge watching as I just discovered your channel, haha! You are bang on with your commentary about the media taking isolated incidents and then blowing them up for weeks at a time when the chances of it happening to a non-criminal with common sense is VERY low. It has never happened to me in over 106 countries in 16 years of total travel time. The only time anything bad happened to me was in my own country of Canada when my laptop was stolen - so there you go. Of course common sense and experience helps. Mazatlan is totally fine - there are even volunteers to help you get through the tourist section. The people I met there were awesome back in January of this year. They couldn't understand why the tourists stopped coming - me too although I was also nervous at first. Once again, if you are not a criminal or involved with drugs and don't get drunk in a locals bar and then pick a fight (it happened to a Canadian in Puerto Escondido while I was there enjoying myself - and he got shot - no wonder.) you don't need to worry. I have been all over Mexico this year from Tijuana to Acapulco, Mazatlan to Cabo, MX City to Cancun and I have never had a problem - but I sure have had a lot of fun! Don't even get me started about the bus trip I took straight through Central America - I ended up making new friends at every single border crossing. I loved it! It wasn't dangerous. A lot of that comes from the bad old days of the 1980's and Pablo Escobar - it just isn't like that anymore but you have to go see for yourself.

"Canadians they must be nice" @ 30:56. Even "nice Canadians" aren't all nice either. I'm very happy to see the other side of Mexico. I am Canadian but Mexican born. Great video!

Road trip from Los Angeles, CA to Argentina is in bucket list. Hopefully, it'll happen soon

“That’s a LOT of tequila” = priceless 😂 There is nothing like being shown around in a foreign place by people who love living there and call it home. Such wonderful patrons, and I’m glad you made it through in such fine shape. ❤

Hi, following your YT Channel since two days ago, since you sent Vinny to Halifax. I am in a watching spree about your videos. You both have been an inspiration about cooking and keep calm and carry on, under any circumstances. ❤️. Just a few videos to catch up 😎

Been offline a while, just wanted to say another great upload guys. Enjoy enjoy and be safe which I know you are.🙂

Brilliant video as always, this journey you are on is incredible and thank you for sharing it on you tube. Almost 100k subscribers as well, long overdue 👍🙂 Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next video already 🙂

Here in Canada on our government website, the travel warnings for Mexico it seems are always on high alert. We go to Mexico all the time and never had any problems, as our adult son as well. Driving through like you two is obviously different than flying into a tourist area, as we can pick our spots easier than you. We're looking for winter places to stay and one of the few places we have never checked out has been Mazatlan. Great video as usual

Do Pam and Steve take bookings? 😂 Congratulations on reaching mainland Mexico! The adventure continues! Thank you for balancing out the fear mongering. Loved so much about this video. The Belgian chocolate was the sweetest gift 🥹 xx

The two of you look Mexican so that's a plus...

I feel like this part, even though it is really dangerous, isn't the part of this trip that I'm worried for you about. It's the past you have to pass through after the Panama canal.

Love, love you guys!! God bless and safe journey!

We are in Tequila now. We have spent a month or more in four out of the six "do not travel" states in Mexico. We have never had any issues with safety. Only once did we have a run in with corrupt guardia national. We have driven our Jeep over 10,000 miles here in Mexico and have had countless experiences with friendly locals and delicious food.

Well first of all Naick… Dan and I love your new hat…. Looks awesome. We have done at least 12 trips to Mexico… only 2 on the west coast,and the rest in the Mayan Riviera and have always felt safe. You just be aware of your surroundings and try not to get yourself in a situation…. Now there is always being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but whatever…. You Got This. We love seeing you in Mexico…. And enjoying your time with new found friends. Looking forward to seeing more of your travels…❤❤❤❤ take care😊

Great Video guys!!!!

Love your videos! You bring so much joy & optimism, and share messages of love, hope & kindness. You’re the best, Naick & Kim! ❤

Wat een prachtige video weeral Naick en Kim, en leuk dat jullie een bezoekje gingen brengen aan die lieve mensen. Op naar het volgende avontuur. Fijne avond nog en goeie reis, groetjes, Gilberte

Your friends are very beautiful people ! God Bless them !

Amazing! Wow! Thriller!

lovely video! I agree with everything you have said!

I enjoyed this video immensely, thanks guys!

Great video. You're rockin' that hat, Naick! Loved the section where you were able to meet up with your friends and have some down time. What nice folks!

Love your content!

did they mention to you that you can't drive from Central to South America?? there is a gap in the Pan Am Hwy.

Buenas suerte when going to central America

just wanted to say... You are amazing!

Great video!!! So fun to watch!

An amazing video…loved every second of it..❤️

Some of my aunts and uncles live in Jalisco.

The most dangerous states are probably the northern ones, especially areas close to the US border. Cartels don't usually target "Gringos" - if anything they are avoiding you, because you represent liability to them. People most at danger are migrants hoping to reach the US. As for the tourists, you're more likely to get robbed in a touristy resort town than in Cartel-infested states. The recent horrible killing of Americans almost proves this point because, as Naick said, it was such an unusual incident. The cartel even delivered some of the people involved to the police, if I remember correctly. This said, of course the cartels are monstrous organizations, holding Mexico down.

Ohhh, Chilaquiles!!! My favorite breakfast as well, other than cafe de olla! So glad I am finally catching up with your videos, be safe, dear ones!

Mazatlan is very safe. I was in Mazatlan for a week in August. Not a dangerous area at all. You guys should come back. Mazatlan is awesome and so much to do.

I travelled alone, as a women, in Guadalajara, Jalisco and all went good. Mexico can be unsafe, clearly, but tagging the country by unsafe and not visiting is just ignorance. You can be unsafe in Brussels, Belgium as well in some neighbourhoods.... In El Salvador I have been twice already, super safe at the moment.

Godspeed my loves!! ❤😊

You are so right! Spread the love and the truth: 99.99% of all humans are kind. ❤ 🎉Just told my husband, I wouldn’t mind watching a video of the both of you EVERY day! You are SO entertaining and now also getting teachable🥰

As always, I love you guys' content! The look on Kim's face when she smelled those mangos is priceless. Lol. I live in the midwestern part of the United States now but back home in the south, when you smell something that doesn't necessarily agree with you, it's considered "funky". 😆 That could be foods, bathrooms, feet, whatever. Lol! As always, travel safely!

Just wondering how many km of road for those tolls? Good comment there Naick... Also, most people from "first world countries" have so much prejudice about other countries, all because of media... Its really sad.

I’m not being dramatic but your tequila scene resulted in me having a hangover.

You got this!!

Very true the media does sensationalize things. We Americans who travel go more by government travel warnings rather than the news for this reason. It is also a sad fact that Americans are huge targets in many places around the world, Mexico being one of them so we have to be careful. In dicey situations we say we're Canadian.🍁😁🍁haha Glad you had such a good time.

I find that the people who are warning you of "dangerous Mexico " .....have never actually been there...or know anyone who went there..😮

I agree with you. I visit NYC and there are parts that are more dangerous than others, but I don't wear jewelry, I don't carry designer anything (also because I'm not into that kind of stuff), I pay attention to my surroundings, and I typically try not to be there after dark. People are generally very nice if you are too. Personally I'd never make the trip south of the American border but that's more because I hate the heat. 😁

If your journey south takes you through Cuenca, Ecuador your are welcome to stop for a shower at my house.

I freak out seeing all your expensive camera gears in sight. I guess I live in a place where people will break the window of your car and grab them while you stop your car in the traffic.

Naick really to fishing 😂

How much is ferry

most of the people who say "Mexico is dangerous" are people that have never even been to Mexico. I live in the United States but my family is from Mexico, the state of Guanajuato to be exact. I go every year to my small town in Guanajuato for the fiestas we celebrate during December. I have never once been in danger. Yes, bad things happen but where DON'T they happen? They don't target tourists unless the tourists are the ones causing trouble. Keep your guard up, but don't ever let that ruin your trip!! I'm very glad I came across your channel!!! Safe travels and I hope you guys get to see and truly show the beauty in Mexico! :)

You speak Mexican and know how, don’t go there and is exactly where you go, don’t eat that food, and you say yes 👍

Ohh the tequila memories we have 😂

Love Naick new hat. No! Not the kettle the hat. 😊 Another great vlog. Thank you and until next time. 💕💕🇨🇦

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Enough said!

Why...? Death wish?

fear controls. mexico is one of the safest ive felt anywhere. the people are great. but hummm.. shhhhh.... let them be scared. gives more of mexico to just ourselves. hehe

Goodgoodgood👍❤❤

💡👍

All is good until it’s not….you take the risk you take the consequences..lucky all worked out for you

Your face looks like Norah Jones.

There are more frightening places in the US. Like Texas, Florida and many other open carry no gun rules states. Even worse if you are a child going to school, going grocery shopping, movies, etc. Or if you are a woman, there is a war in them in some states but that’s another story! Safe travels ❤

Hey guys, just found your channel. I’m loving every bit of your PanAmerican journey! It’s thrilling to see people embrace this kind of lifestyle against all odds of our current complicated world (pandemic, wars, etc). I live in Mexico City, so if you run into any problems or have any doubts don’t hesitate to ask, no matter where you’re located in rhe country. You can find me on IG with the same @. Cheers and safe travels!

Would of love to know why these two couples moved to Mexico

Don't get killed.
