For me it is a very special video. Washing it brought tears to my eyes. What a long road...... Congrats my beloved son and go ahead. You know I always loved this great country, I feel that is my home on planet Earth. God Bless America.***

So glad you decided to tell us your story!

"And that's why I talk like this"... Haha... I don't know Robert... I think you are one in a few million. Cuba lost out... America won that lottery. : ) God Bless you! Thanks for sharing your story.

Robert you are the poster person immigrant of America. You see abundant opportunity and reach for it. No welfare No medical insurance No handouts . Your parents had their pride and fortitude to realize this country gave them Freedom and a future that Cuba sadly didn’t. Bravo to them and you. You just gave such an Inspirational story for all of us to reflect on. God Bless America. Merry Christmas

Robert, you're an inspiration! Our stories are quite similar. I was born in Havana, fled communism at the age of five and lived in Madrid for three years. We then came to the US. Grew up in NJ and my desire to thank this great country and love for travel saw me enlist in the USAF. Got to travel the world several times over. Now, I get in my RV every time I get an opportunity. Keep those videos coming!

Wonderful story and you are a natural story teller; you have found your niche and we love you!

What would America be like without you? A very boring place. Thank you Robert!

Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you too👍

I recently subscribed to your channel and I admire your craft and skill. However, this video knocks it totally out of the park! I love it when people tell their stories! Thank you for sharing your story. I liked the shot when your hair was long! You have a gorgeous family.

Robert As a Cuban, I feel a great respect and pride when I see that a person as you has been so successful in what he or she is doing fo a living. You have a great talent and USA is the country where talent is recognized. We both are fortunate of being accepted as part of this great Country !!

I'm a 60 year old white man and I love your videos and probably seen all of them I really like the way you present your videos and your trips as long as you keep making videos I'll keep watching.

Thank you for sharing your story. KZfaq has the best reality television. I hardly watch network television anymore. Gracias y te deseo mucho éxito.

“Thats why i talk like this” 😅😅😅 you killed me bro!!! Me mataste!! Jajaja! We came in 1996 after my dad was political prisoner many years. We all have a story to tell about our struggles to come here.

Thank you for sharing your story, Robert! You're an inspiration...and, please know that your passions of travel, storytelling, and music bring smiles and enjoyment to others! Blessings to you and your beautiful family.

Great video Robert,thank you for all your work,still watching in 2023,Dan in OHIO

I was born 65 California. We are at the age of discovery. Travel is in our bones. God bless on your journey.

Thank you for sharing your story. My husband and I enjoy your videos. Your voice and accent have a calming quality. Your videos are informative and interesting. We are glad to have found your channel.

Robert, I loved hearing your story. You really work hard at what you do and it is showing through your quality videos. Your wife must be an angel, accepting you not having a regular job and traveling all over, but she has faith in you and knows you will succeed. The reason I became a Patreon was because I saw how hard you work and how nice you are. I want you to succeed also and the day will come when you have 100,000 subscribers. It won't be long. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and I will see you at the RTR.

Robert thank you for this very informative video, when I saw one of your videos with a package of La Llave coffee, I figured you were Cuban. It's great that you were able to have so many photos of you and your parents in Cuba. I'm also Cuban. My parents put me on a plane (Pan Am) at the age of 9 on July 25, 1961 to go to Miami and my aunt and uncle were there waiting for me. My parents were not allowed to leave at that time, but later individually were able to migrate to Miami. The United States is the best country, and I am thankful that we were welcomed here. I now live with my wife in the Silicon Valley area of California. I'm glad I found your channel during the "Shelter in Place" for the virus and I have enjoyed so far every video I have watched. We might buy a small used motorhome to travel and take our grand children on our trips. Keep doing what you have been doing, because I think all the viewers really enjoy your outings. Perhaps someday you might come back to California and we could meet. Alberto.

its a great story robert welcome to america we needed you here

Great job telling of your background.

Robert, I concur this video about your life and escaping from Cuba and coming to the United States was most interesting. I love the members videos and as soon as they are out, I immediately watch them. I want to wish you and your lovely wife a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year, keep up the great work that you do, from your KZfaq Friend Mark Drennen in Louisville, Kentucky

Your story highlights the fragility of freedom that so many people who grew up here don't understand at all. I hope and pray that the fabric of America continues to be woven with stories like yours for a thousand years. Don't take it for granted folks. Love ya Robert!

Hey, Robert, great to know you. I came to America in 1977, from Bucharest, Romania. The first video I watched was of your trip from Florida to California. Having put my wife and our two kids (then) on the plane to California, in Fort Lauderdale, I drove back to Hollywood to check out of our rented apartment and hit the road, following the same route you drove on. The first day I drove all the way to New Orleans, where I arrived at around 2 am. What a memorable trip it was! My Plymouth Fury 2 was just fine. Keep traveling, Robert. You remind me of what's best in the US of A. I'm sure you'll agree with me: it's the best country in the world! Thank you for bringing back all these happy memories!

I truly enjoyed watching and listening to this video. Thank you for sharing your story!

Thank you Robert for an amazing and wonderful review of your journey... SWEET 👍

Great Video and Story Robert! You had very short clip in this video of the 1982 Worlds Fair Sun Sphere located in Knoxville, TN! That is where I live and I actually attended that Worlds Fair many times as a child back in 1982! Good Times!

Great video. Thanks for sharing this 👍🏿👍🏿❤️

I’m glad my family made that decision for me at the expense of losing everything they worked for in 1960 :-) I’m waiting for the day that I can RV in Cuba 🇨🇺

Wonderful video Robert. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I followed you when you first started out on KZfaq. At that time your travels were mainly in the eastern part of the US. I had traveled a lot in three different RVs in the US and internationally on land tours and cruises. When I first started watching you I was getting the itch to hit the road again. I converted a Toyota Sienna in 2014 and have been into my own travels since then. I recently discovered you again when I saw your Wild West tour on KZfaq. I really enjoyed that one because I had followed a very similar route in my Sienna several years ago. So I went back to your site to see where you had gone since I last followed you, and I found your recent North Dakota video. I grew up ND in the forties and fifties and had been to many of the places you went, but you opened my eyes to what had been going on since I left ND in 1957, for example, the Enchanted Highway. Now ND is back on list travel list. I'm glad you did this life story video. I had suspected that's how you got to Florida, and now I see how you've succeeded since you came to the US. It looks like I'm a subscriber at least until I'm caught up on your travel videos. Good luck in your future travels. Maybe we'll meet on the road someday!

Wonderful video Robert! Thank you for sharing your story. 😎🇨🇦

Go Robert !

Feliz Natal Roberto ...e segue viajando...não pode parar!!...Usted es buena gente !!

Robert I am watching you for years. I wanted to say my son who will be 30 is alive today because of his father's accent and how he would say my name lol. My son's father in high school (we went to catholic high school) I remember they had no Christmas trees up and I thought that was soo weird. There are many Cuban areas in NJ. My son's abuelo who passed recently was a prisoner in Cuba with his brother until they were able to pay (bribed i guess) to have them released and they went to Spain for a few years before they came here in the very early 70's. My son's abuela said she would NEVER no go back. I was hoping maybe she would take my son. They were from Placetas, Cuba. I am so glad you are an American now and taking us along as you discover our country! I look forward to EVERY video. God Bless!

Awsome story. Glad you decided to do what you did when you did. I too left Cuba in search of freedom but came directly to the US via "los vuelos" The gov did not want my father to leave offered him a post in "Obras Públicas " even tempted him with car n driver in the mid 60's. My mother and I lived as "gusanos" but it only took us 4 years from applying to exit. We of course had a sponsor in the states, my father had a job in the works in NJ before we left Cuba, stayed 1 month in Miami and moved. Funny I wound up finishing my Senior year in Miami High. Un placer paisano.

Awesome! God Bless our America's Freedoms. Thanks for sharing your life. I'm reminded and very thankful to be an American. I hear lots of compliant, but I don't see many people leaving USA. We have new generation that thinks that life owes them something. Our Freedoms aren't free and are not a guarentee of financial success, food or housing in America. I have enjoyed your work traveling. We have started RV in north west and we are having fun. Keep going and thanks again for sharing!

Thank you Robert you are an inspiration hermano! Feliz Navidad y año nuevo !

Robert, terrific story to American freedom! God Bless your Mother and Father for the escape to freedom!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Watching this in February 2023! Wow Robert great video. Thank you for sharing this. You guys are an inspiration. Love that you were high-school sweethearts and are still together. Beautiful ❤️ I can relate. Un abrazo de lejo (NY) para los dos! Es un placer a ver tus videos. 🙌👌❤️

Robert. This is a good video allowing the viewer a peek into your history. Love all the videos. Thank you.

Thank you Robert for sharing your story! You advanced and succeeded in this beautiful country that is the United States of America! Happy New Year and may God bless you always my friend!

I'm 7 years older than you, but, you remind me of my father. He too immigrated here and was most proud to be an American. From what I've seen/heard you are as well. I wish more people would actually appreciate the freedom and opportunities they were born with here in the U.S. I'm also envious that your "job" isn't like work to you. You have definitely found your chosen path for life. Once again Robert, yet another excellent video!

VERY good job Robert! Thank you for making and sharing your story. We already have grown to appreciate you, but this helps to connect and make the bonding much stronger. Keep up the great work - you have an amazing life! Blessings continue over you, your family, and friends.

Thank you Robert. I hope some day to see you out there on the road in our RV.

what a life, beautiful images every one of them

We have a few things in common. I can relate to your innate passion for making "movies". I too felt a passion to do this when I was 11 years old in 1959 when I got a 1957 Kodak 8mm movie camera. It had a large flat fold out key on the side that you used to wind up an internal spring. This stored energy is what advanced the film through the camera. As the spring wound down, the frame rate would decrease a bit and the resulting video would then speed up on screen. I still have it and my original projector. Next year will be my 60th anniversary as a video creator. I made movies all through high school in the middle 60s of our track and cross country meets, motorcycle camping trips and took it with me to Vietnam and made my own personal documentaries in the late 60s. I've never monetised any of my videos nor ever asked anyone to subscribe ..... I do it for the fun exclusively. I too am an immigrant having come to the US in 1963 at the age of 15.

Thank you for following your passion and inspiring others as you do that! Merry Christmas to you, Robert and your family!

“of course I went to high school” HE WENT TO MY HIGH SCHOOL! 😱😱😂. class of ‘04 baby!

Merry Christmas Robert! Loved the video. Keep traveling, we hope to meet up with you sometime on the road.

Wow Robert, that was inspiring! My mom just passed November 29th. My grandfather took her on a trip to Cuba in the late 1950s in hopes of taking her mind off my father, but she married him anyway in '59. I was born during the Cuban Missile Crises. There was so much fear surrounding that time that my mom thought we'd all die and I'd never be born. In Florida there was no I-95 then. US-1 was the main North-South artery and during the CMC it was shut to all civilian traffic. It was only open to the military and being just a few blocks from the house I was born in my parents could walk down to where University Blvd. intersected it. They said all hours day & night there was a *constant convoy* of tanks (on flatbeds), armored cars, trucks full of equipment & soldiers, artillery, etc., such that they thought a major battle was about to be fought. Same story where the train ran beside US-1. Apparently President Kennedy addressed the nation in an honest and sobering speech which I'm sure can be found on KZfaq. Tense times. It's fortunate sober heads prevailed.

Robert, Thanks for your videos. We enjoy them. Thanks for coming to the United States and working for your freedom. Happy holidays to you and your family.

Incredible story !! Thank for your videos, we enjoy them very much !!

Thank u for ur dedication on making this vid

Thank you for being you! Prayers for you and yours💜

Awesome story Robert I have enjoyed all your travels Happy Holidays to you and your family.

thank you so much for sharing this amazing story, happy holidays merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year 2019 for you and your family, Feliz Navidad

'It's a wonderful life" fits you well Robert, as Paul said, "very inspirational". Keep up the good work, be safe, have fun, & happy camping. v/r, TS

Appreciate you and your videos Robert, keep it going.

Thank you for sharing Robert! Awesome to see those few seconds of my own history in the 'memory lane' part of the clip! Keep up the good work!

Like and support from London! 😉

Thank you for sharing your story tocayo. My story is very similar to your, I even worked in the same tobacco fields that you did in Cuba as a teenager. The only difference is that I am still working and probably will until i drop dead in the snow here in the North East...lol.. My wife and I enjoy your videos and we find them more passionate and exciting that telenovelas.;)

Thank you for sharing your wonderful story with us, Robert! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Enjoyed your testimony, Robert! Kudo's for taking that "Leap of faith" leaving your job and pursuing your dream! I enjoy your travel videos very much! Let the good times roll!

Hey Robert.... enjoy your travel videos. Love you intro song.

What an excellent story teller you are, Thank you! I enjoyed getting to know you a bit more through this wonderful work, Traveling Robert. Be blessed this Christmas time and into the New Years!

Great video Robert. As a 1971 baby, I could identify with a lot of the pictures and video. I too was very interested in photography as a teen. Keep inspiring and doing what you love my friend.

Dropping in from Southern California. Hi Robert, I’ve been following your video for a while now. And I really enjoyed it. Want it to say thank you 🙏 for sharing your amazing traveling videos and life stories with us. Can’t wait for more.

Thanks for telling your story. As an Anglo living in Miami, I’ve heard your story hundreds of time- God bless you. Cuba’s loss is our gain.

Thank you for telling your wonderful story and taking us “along for the ride” please don’t ever stop.

Hi Robert love the story of your life. I’m Cuban American myself. Keep up the great work. My family enjoys your videos so much.

Congratulations Robert. Thanks for sharing your life and taking us along on your travels. I stumbled across your videos just within the past couple of months. I love the road but probably never do the RV thing. I always am blessed hearing about people doing the things they love. You are truly living the American dream. Something about driving the open highway you really feel free. God bless you and your family this holiday season and in 2019. Hope to see you someday maybe in Colorado

I loved hearing your story, Robert. As the descendent of German immigrants, I always love arrival stories. 😀❤️👍🏻

My wife and I started watching your videos a few months ago and now have seen most of the more recent ones. You see America in a way that sadly a lot of natural born citizens don't and THAT is a HUGE testament to them! I feel that they will have to experience what you and your family had to face in a communist controlled government before they can appreciate the freedoms already available for them here. One of your more impressive qualities is your patience with impatient people. God bless you and keep you safe in your travels. Welcome to the home of the brave and land of the FREE!

Great video. Hands down one of the best channels on KZfaq.

Robert, I found your channel a couple of years ago and have been a fan ever since. What a great life! Always wondered what made you tick. As others have said, you are a treasure. USA won this round, and Cuba lost a really super guy. Thanks for all you do.

One of the most kick ass awesome videos to date. I absolutely loved your story brother. So happy I have found your channel. Yours has been one of inspiration for me. More than you’ll know. Big thank you and looking forward to more content.

What a great story! it's always heartwarming to hear about anyone, who's found a way to make their dreams come true. In the meantime, you're also putting out some fantastic videos for the rest of the world to enjoy, so keep up the good work!

A belated Welcome to America! . Great story!

Thank you for sharing! Welcome to America! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

With all the growth,l know at times it is just a challenge to see it all,but I especially enjoyed this. My folks live in Fort Pierce, and your story reminded me so intensely of when they left Cuba. The driver I believe worked on their farm or estate,and as soon as he got back the House was literally chained. It is a story you have undoubtedly heard ,but I am sure glad you make us smile through travel. I shall be flying into South Florida April,and I shall try to get you to Sailfish for an IPA!!

You're a born entertainer Robert. Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment you've provided and much success to you in the future.

Thanks Robert for sharing your story and your travels and hobby! I stumbled into your channel just this year 2020 and look forward to whatever you share. Keep up the nice work!

I love listening to you tell stories. This one was the best story! Thank you for sharing your life with us!

Your a fine example of an immigrant Sir. Thank you for telling your life story.Your RV video's are Excellent.

As an immigrant first generation citizen, I have to say... This was my favorite video, thank you for sharing your story and family pics. Very great story!

Thanks Robert. Every person's story is special and yours was very interesting to hear. Takes courage to do what you are doing and I wish you the best Christmas,

Hi Robert, I come from Bulgaria in Europe and as you probably know, this country was also a part of the communist regime until the big change in 1989. I am a big fan of KZfaq channel and I subscribed to your channel especially because I like the way you present your quality videos, your travellings across the US, your stories etc. I' ve never been to the US but your videos are so informative and interesting that I don't see any sense of spending money to go to US and make trips to see all those beauties you present in your videos. Wish you a lot of success in your future work, keep on doing what you feel is the best for you and be sure that you are "The American eyes" for many people in the world!

Robert, you are an example why most Americans welcome those who desire to immigrate here. Isn't it ironic that evil governments have to put up walls to keep their citizens from fleeing their country, while freedom loving countries need to put up walls to protect itself from the hordes of people fleeing from desperate situations. My wife is from Colombia, while she is a happy US citizen, in her heart she is still Colombian. But she does not want to ever live in Colombia again as she enjoys the freedom of the USA and the opportunity the USA has for our children.

Love your videos. You must be appalled by the rising tide of the current leftist agenda in this great nation. I for one am so delighted you came to America for you are truly an amazing travel host. Sending love from the great State of Arizona. May the Lord bless you~~Kate

What a wonderful story about your life! Thanks for sharing and God Bless you!

Keep up the good work Robert. Your videos keep getting and better.

That is the America I love. I’m also an immigrant and that gives me an appreciation of this great country. Love your story- a lot of similarities with my own! Love all your videos!

Trump approves of your channel. Stay thirsty my friend!

I've watched this video and shared it with others many times... My husband and I love to RV and when we can't go we binge watch your videos and it's like we are riding in the front seat! We love the photos and the drone videos, always so beautiful! We love your 'cooking on the road' shows, and we like your critiques of different parks, restaurants and pubs. We also love your original songs, and the melodies that help tell the story. We even sing along!😄 Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful stories, keep up the good work and maybe one day... we'll see you on the road!

Fabulous video. It’s so nice to see and hear about your lovely family and your journey to America.

Great video Robert. Thanks for sharing your story. You are a true inspiration to all of us. Merry Christmas & a Very 🥳 New Year!

We love you Robert!!! Merry Christmas to you and Ily!!!

This is the most inspiring story i have ever heard! People usually got lost in the piled work until getting out comfort zone.Thanks the video for introducing the United States, which make audience not only enjoy the awesome scenery but positive thinking of life. Keeping going 2019, just like you said in the video , we only live once :)

A very entertaining and inspiring video, Robert. Fell in love with your travel channel last year and it’s good to finally know your backstory. Hope to see you back on the road again in 2019!
