You need an award for the way you be chef'n up award winning meals, IN A VAN! You are awesome!!

Hey Mateo! My name is AJ and I'm living out of my SUV temporarily with my Siberian Husky Meekah. I just started a youtube channel as well. I haven't started yet cuz there's a couple of major purchases I need to make before doing so. Just want to say that your an inspiration to me to want to pursue what I want to do and fulfill my dream of traveling. I'm so glad that this community of nomad life has came to where it has. You were my 1st youtuber that found. I bienged watched all your episodes everyday all up to now and will continue to follow your success and journey in hopes that you will follow mine as well. Literally, Meekah loved when I whistled your intro video and still does. I bet she wondered why I stopped doing it everyday since I'm all caught up on your episodes. I make my own music as well which I'm working on for some background music of my own. I play drums and make music so got some ideas in store. Hope to see you on the road one day. Shoutout from NC. Asheville area!!

I’ll be praying for you. I literally went through a time when I couldn’t bring myself to get in my bed and would fall asleep in my chair. As I age, feeling mortality more, I would panic that I wouldn’t get up again. But, I did overcome it with the grace and love from the Lord. I would watch videos about praying for anxiety, unwanted thoughts, panic, etc. It truly did help me. When I saw your comment, I thought, man; I can relate to that!! God bless you and know that people DO care!

Loving your original organic content. Glad youre getting your props youre great to watch. Have a beautiful hater free week 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for shouting out big nuggett another genuine van lifer 👏👏👏

I can't believe how fast your channel has grown in just a year. It's good to see you doing well. I hope that your channel continues to grow.

Hello Mateo. Missing Lars. Perhaps he needs a vet visit before going back on the road?

If you can, get a pressure cooker. Thats what we use in the Caribbean, you get the same results in half the time

Wow! Excellent meal! You are such a refined chef and content creator. Even the way that you handle the food is beautiful! ❤❤❤❤❤

✨🌄🌈your dinner looks so good!! Sending good vibes from a fellow astronaut!👍💖🤗

That sandwich looks bomb! Welcome back East. I was so glad you were not cooking for anyone this time and you got a fulfilling portion. Every time you cook for others you don't seem to even get any and it makes me sad. Thanks for sharing!

Old school tip: Keep vinegar around for those burns. Put some on the area when it first happens and it won't blister. I've used dill pickle juice in a pinch, it works too! And don't worry about it taking you 4 hours to make the sandwich. We saw the condensed 20 something minute version. Love ya!

Hi from England - I stumbled across your videos and I have literally binged watched them all, you and Lars are great! I love your positivity and even through tough days and nights you smile. Wow! Keep going and doing what you’re doing! Hats off to you! 😊

That looks GOOD. Thanks for showing us the recipe loved the good vibes ✨

put heat as hot as you can take to remove the pain it works to your blister always remember to do use mayo on your bread to make grill cheese we like Hellman’s mayo an you only need to cover your bread just a light spread but evenly over your bread try it you will stop using butter an it tastes great🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi Mateo, how are you? I really like the way the back of your van opens up with the barn doors on the bottom and the upper half that swings up. It seems like the perfect set up for an outdoor shower.☮

Just wanted to tell u I really admire you! I love watching all your videos, and am gonna make those tacos u made when u were in Arizona with the other van lifers...have an amazing and safe journey to where the road takes u guys next!!!
