In March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on UA-cam, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera!
We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.

Driving 500 Miles in Mexico
We're driving from Guaymas to Mazatlan in this video, and we learn a lot about driving in Mexico during this 500 mile/750 kilometer road trip. The drive starts off peaceful enough. We learn how to watch out for the massive speed bumps that Mexico is famous for, and start recognizing all the individual vendors that greet us with homemade snacks at every speed bump. Then, without warning, we met some of the most assertive "entrepreneurs" we've ever encountered on our travels. It turns out, traveling by car has given people a whole new menu of services to offer us while we're on the road. We were really taken aback by by these kids, and Evie hated them coming into our space, but we're better prepared to deal with these situations in the future now.
Another challenge we're facing as we drive through Mexico with a dog is finding places to take Evie out to play and use the washroom. Street dogs are very common here, and we're still getting our bearings with how to ensure Evie is safe around street dogs while still being able to do dog-things. All small grassy patches and tiny parks have become our best friend as we find ways to let Evie get her energy out during these long driving days.
On the final day of this road trip to Mazatlan, we bring you along for a gas up at a full-service Mexican gas station, and show you our new best friend - Oxxo. Finding good gas stations, convenience stores, and washrooms have become very important on this drive to Central America, and Mexico has some great options for these! Unfortunately, what Mexico doesn't have so far are good roads, and we are constantly dodging pot holes, people, speed bumps, and animals. We cover a lot less distance each day than we did when we were driving through Canada and the USA, but there's never a dull moment!
We got so lucky with an epic beach visit just before arriving into Mazatlan. We wanted a spot to let Evie off leash and enjoy chasing the ball, and man did Mexico deliver! A huge benefit of having our own vehicle is getting to discover hidden gems like this beach. We just saw a road on Google maps that seemed to lead to the beach, and we ended up in paradise! The car has a few new scratches, but we bought a 2008 for a reason 😉
After 9 long days of driving, we finally arrive in Mazatlan!!! This is our first proper stop on this road trip to Central America, and we are so excited to tuck into Mexico properly once we've gotten settled. In the next video, we'll finally be off the road and exploring Mazatlan. We hope to see you there!

Fun watching your adventure progress in Central America, interested to see the culture and scenery 😆❤️🇬🇧
Thanks Max!
Can't wait for the next one ❤
We can't wait to share!!
Happy dog :). Can’t wait for the next one!
Awesome, thanks for watching! Evie is so pleased with this new life 😊
i mongolian boy thank you
You’re welcome!
This has been a great trip so far!!!
So glad you’ve been enjoying it!!
Lmao Mexican dude trying wash your window. Welcome to Mexico lol... like I said watch out for cartels. Just watch movie Rambo Last Blood.
Evie is a lucky pup to join you on this adventure.
Thank you! It's been a big change but she seems to be enjoying it so far 😊
💙💙

1st comment!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
一番速度が出るのは東北新幹線と聞いたことがあるが。
Тиймээ Би монгол сүүлдээ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine if Eveie had her own pitstop/travel passport where there's a paw print or Frisbee on a map of some kind wherever you guys stopped for her to play.
Oh my gosh we should make those as merch 😂
3 things #1use wool wash for all your clothing, all the tech stuff will last longer. Not Woolite. You often don't need to rinse if you buy one of the good ones. If you can't find it at a regular grocery store, try a knitting shop or craft store. #2 Learn to Darn. It is important just like being able to sew on a button. #3 In Italy you have to carry your passport all the time, you will get fined if you don't have it on you.
If you guys ever did some type of assisted travel group you could call it NME Adventures for the the sake of this next fantastic chapter in your travel life. I will say the unknown and just planning on the fly is something I'm working to get more comfortable with.
Such a good idea! Going with the flow with travel definitely isn't for everyone, and that's okay! I think if we were going on a holiday we would book every day specifically just like we used to. It's just this no-end-date travel that allows us to feel free enough to roll with the punches and see where life takes us 😀
Great video guys, Love it!
Thanks so much! Hope you found it helpful!
I’m mongolia men . Mongolia is my favorite country
Been to Mongolia four times now currently here and love every minute of it
i live in mongolia mongolia is beautiful
So beautiful 🤩
wonder do pets need any vaccination or any certificates? I am aware if flying with pets, some certificates are required, looks like for people traveling with pets, driving by road trip should be a better idea?
So far in our experience between Canada/USA/Mexico, we have found it to be very easy to bring the dog with us. I think going back in the reverse might require more paperwork though. Thankfully, Mexico has a low rabies rate in dogs, so they aren't on the USA's high-risk list. If you travel to a high-risk rabies country (like Guatemala for example), then I know getting back into the USA is much more difficult
So what happened?
3 dresses? Seriously? 3 pairs of pants AND jeans? You are not pros of traveling light. I'm out.
Шүз
Been there three times it is Gods country !
I just spent $120 for 2 tees!
I am so excited about your further journey in Mexico. One of my favorite countries. I love your videos. And have already watched almost all of them !!! They are an inspiration for my travel plans. You are a great couple plus dog. 😍🥰
You guys are amazing!!!!!!!!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video. It’s one of our most favourite adventures 🥹
Сайн❤👍
the least dense country is mongolia 1 person could have 1km and everybody will live with 1 km
The food looks so good! I want to go in 2025!
Amazing video guys! We have been watching your channel for a while and it has inspired us to document our travels as well!
The overhanging wires are left that way... because the buildings are delicate and they cannot break the pavements or dig it up ... the foundation might crumble... neither can they drill holes on the buildings... it is a living protected site. The alleys were made tight for security from invaders. There are good guides available. Next time take a guide who can tell you about the world within the worlds and labyrinth of alleys.
This part of Delhi is NOT POVERTY STRICKEN. This is the old city of Shahjahanabad. The Red fort is a unesco world heritage site... read up. Chandni chowk inside Shahjahanabad is a 500 yr old settlement ... and Asia's largest wholesale market, it has to be busy... and choked. Nobody has time to waste they are doing business... go on a sunday if you really want to admire the 500 yr old houses still inhabited by ppl.
Boracay is a beauty on its own. Esp now that it's been rehabilitated.
The old delhi are richer than the new Delhi you saw. They are clustered because that is a 500 yr old locality. But they are extremely wealthy traders and dealing in crores every day😂
You should have at least read up on the emperor insteas of just half hearted attempt like, "some famous guy". Have some respect for the historic references and cultural heritage. Seriously.... i know you are not promoting India... but it's respectful if you can at least read up and get the facts and names correct. Google is free
Just love all your videos!
I know that people warning you about the safety of Mexico might be annoying but may just be warranted given what happened to the 2 Aussie surfing brothers and their American friend recently in Baja. All 3 were shot in the head and killed by thieves trying to steal the wheels off of their car while they were camping. Now I realise is not a common thing to happen, all I am saying is that you should not get too complacent and believe Mexico is totally safe. This comment is meant with love so please don’t take it the wrong way ❤
Congratulations! Can't wait to see what's coming!

This is amazing! Thank you for your support 🤗🥳 I’m sure you’d be at the border a little faster with you’re slightly faster car 😅

Welcome to mongolia. Hopefully you like your stay!
welcome to mongolia ty for exploring mongolia❤😊
Our pleasure
We have been driving our Florida plated Jeep all through Mexico for over two years. We crossed with our dog as well and no one asked to see her vet records. It's ok to travel on the "libre" or free roads we have many times. Do not drive at night it is unsafe. Have your camera on for police interactions and don't pay the "mordidas" let them know that you know your paperwork is correct and pretend you don't understand anything else they are saying. We have traveled to over 90 pueblos magicos in 28 states it is a beautiful country with amazing people!
Hi it’s me again and that is in Mongolia it’s a very good хуушуур 😅
Hi you guys are Visiting Mongolia. Mongolia is a beautiful country but i live in Mongolia 😂
