I’m so proud of you both 🖤🖤🖤🖤 y’all were cracking me up the whole time lol!

Fun Fact, Mario isnt saying "It's-a-me, Mario" he says "Itsumi Mario" which is japanese and means "Super Mario"

Wonderful, informative video. U guys look great. Which agency did u book your jeep & experiences from?

amazing woman you have there, funny, kind, beautiful and full of adventure, keeper

This is at least from 2023, this year the TT was counter clockwise. Anyway, for all the people ho see this video, don't under estimate this kind of trips, you can hurt yourself, and this is not even more a real trail event, it's just some gravel roads around tuscany!

Amazing video!!. I will definitely be using this video to convince my partner to go on a bike packing trip with me. I have not been successful so far but fingers crossed. The drone shots are really breathtaking and the commentary was really fun. Looking forward to more content!!

😢 I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience in my country 😢 Make sure to always get advice from locals of trust about where not to’s what not to’s and how not to’s. This breaks my heart 💔

Thanks for the honest reviews. Which month did you guys visit Ubud?

Great video!! you two are living your best life! The Italy scenery is just breathtaking!

Wow! you guys do amazing adventures!!!

Hello, was this the Norman, Saxon, Hastings Reef or Pellowe Reef, Milln Reef, Thetford Reef or Flynn Reef

Woooooooooooow nice

Don't expect that hard and just go with the flow of things happening presently so you can enjoy yourselves.

Thank you for sharing. I'm going to Santiago, Chile, for 2 weeks & then to Cuenca, Ecuado for 2.5 months.Your suggestions for travel safety gave me quite a few changes I will make! I'm so sorry this happened to you, but thank goodness you were not robbed of everything &/or at gunpoint & you're alive & ok! Blessings for your future journey ❤😊❤

Thanks for your story. I went to colombia on holiday. Only thing that happened was this taxi driver overcharging me. But l could feel the tension from the locals. Wich made me feel tension and keep my guard up. And it definitely effected my holiday in negative way. I still had fun and met interesting people. But would l go back . No negative vibe. I love to travel , and have a lot experience. And l learned to trust my instincts.

Great video! What did you use to record in the helicopter?

They don't tell you that locals are assholes and can't stand tourists. It's a shame.

I got mad at my wife spending $700 per person on a helicopter in Hawaii. Until after we did it. It was the best experience of my life hands down. Even if this amount is far out of your budget or won’t allow you to do other things, I suggest doing it. The feeling of being above nature and experiencing it. It was a completely open one. No doors for the pilot as well. Our pilot asked if we wanted him to get closer to a waterfall and we hovered pretty close to the side of an opening to see a hidden waterfall. Also flew through one of the valleys they had on Jurasic park. Got hit with a giant cross wind and our pilot handled it incredible well. In just seconds a storm rolled in and it started raining with high winds. I can’t fly a helicopter and that is the only time I’ve ever been on one, but I skated and understand balancing, and that helicopter could not of been easy to handle since the gusts came out of no wear and were so fast. I was super impressed with how the pilot handled the situation and the skills he showed while doing it. They even had to cancel all the fights after us due to the weather condition. Thankfully it was at the end of our about 1 hour tour, so we didn’t miss anything. Once we got around the island towards to dole plantation and pearl harbor the rain was still bad but we weren’t getting hit by cross winds like crazy. I’m someone who is afraid to ride in cars with people. I did a job of driving new cars through trains for couple years as well so I consider myself a very good driver. At no point did I fear for my life because the pilot was so skilled. It was at rainbow something.

19:27 "ciò che va su, deve tornare giù" 😂 btw as a cyclist you know better than me that the two our worst enemies are wind and uphills; with uphills you know you'll have your reward after 😎 btw your bikes definitely needed a higher gear span, "normal" gravel ratios are not enough. I am so ashamed to see that Tuscany Trail website is so mediocre on foreign-friendly pages 😱 gonna do something to fix this, I just love foreign people participating to Italians events

How were you allowed to fly your drone? I was told I couldn't

Happens everywhere, just keep your stuff safe

Bus pickpockets have always been common throughout South America. I saw the exact same thing happen in Colombia 5 years ago. You'll notice that half of the locals wear their backpacks in front on their stomach where it is in view for just this reason

I dived the Barbie Line and the Bat Cave in January 2023. It was the dive of a lifetime. There is an interesting rock with a snail like fossil in it on the Barbie Line. I gashed the top of my head surfacing in the Bat Room (which smells strongly of ammonia and has a layer of bat poop floating on the surface) but was OK.

I am so sad this happened to you. Then to find out your insurance was of no help either. Crime is real there.

Hi, how many days you spent in cusco to acclimatise before starting the trek?

Hi, we are going to Bali with 9 month old..is it safe to visit this place via jeep with baby ??

Really enjoyed this and the overall detail you supplied. I’m planning this for next year with only doing hotel stays. I’ll need a shower and good rest every night for this type of event. Excited to see episode 2.

I am more afraid to go to the USA with all the guns and racism.

Never go to the cops, never fall asleep on the bus, always mind all of your belongings. Didn't Lonely Planet indicate any of this?

Hi you two. Sorry for this incident. I can't believe how brave you are to get into the cop's car, following the bus...no one in Ecuador does that. As you know Ecuador is going through a rough time with theft and other crimes. Going hiking may not be a good idea. One other item, Amazon delivers to Ecuador much faster than their U.S. deliveries. You can give your hotel address for delivery Best wishes on the rest of your trip.

Love that you included all the highs & lows of the entire journey. Watching you two deal with altitude sickness was rough, can't imagine experiencing it firsthand. But you guys survived and made a great video! Couple questions: - what time of year did you go? May? - did chewing the coca leaves not help with the altitude sickness? - were sandals a must ? Thank you !!!

if losing an expensive camera to corrupt Ecuadorians is the worst travel day you have ever had, after being in 35 countries.........you are lucky. - its stuff, money,- not your freedom your health or a crippling bus accident that you experienced.

My girlfriends friends daughter got stopped traveling Ecuador by car at night at gunpoint and stole all their belongings.

This was so absolutely beautiful and amazing of you guys! Such great POV's and realness. Thank you so much for sharing so much of the journey and giving everyone a deep look into what it was like. After watching K&N and a few others I'm so glad I found another awesome couple to watch and live vicariously through! I'm also planning a trip to the Donnerkogel in 2years so hopefully I'll have as much luck ;) ! Loveeed it!🤗

You know driving from sydney to melb is only 8 hours. You could have done this in 1 day or even 2 days if you were short gor time.

This might be a dumb question but did you both have diving certificates? My husband wants to do it but not sure if he should do his certificate here or wait till bali?

I am sorry that this happens to you guys I am not from Ecuador, originally from Perú but I lived in ecuador ( cuenca Ecuador). We left Ecuador from different reasons but one of them was safety plus we have kids and we didn't feel safe to take trip inside Ecuador the way how it is now sadly. Ecuador is beutiful country. Other thing is really not a point to put a police report because the police don't do nothing to be honest plus on those rural areas they will make more money on selling the camera then their salary, sadly is the true, as southamerican we know this, you complain amd never get anything solve. Please when you go around southamerica be carefull traveling in rural or isolated cities or town because of safety reasons. Wish you guys best of luck.

Another really good video! Being a strong empath my senses are out of this world and some have called it a curse and some a blessing . For me it has it's ups and downs . Think about this.. if I see a person in for example, a store and they are grieving over the loss of a loved one , I feel the pain they feel and even tho I can control it on the outside well , I think you get it. I also sense goodness and that's what I get from you and Blake and when I feel like sitting back and relaxing I've found your channel to be my go to. Be safe and you already know that no video is worth life.

In buses in Ecuador ALWAYS keep your valuables on your lap. And don't trust anyone, especially not the employees of bus companies.

Hi, what video equipments you used for the jeep ride? Looks so cool

What was the date of this trip? Looking to go this October and want to catch some foliage

Awesome video. Also, this chick is a daytime 9.

In three social networks, Ecuador is destroyed by a camera that in the end was covered by insurance 😢

The two of you sitting on that ledge would have made for an awesome pic ! Actually it looked a bit scary and I'm pretty sure Blake wouldn't go for that but I probably wouldn't either...getting near the edge of a possible 10.000 ft free fall gives me creeps!

Such a cool video - work on the Mario impressions please

Can’t wait for the next ep 🩵 think I want to try this adventure too!!

Been wanting to do this tour/hike forever! If you could go again, do you think you'd pick the same time of year?

Enjoyed ep. 1 immensely! I had no idea Italy was so beautiful but I'm concerned about the frequent lows you both are feeling . Preparation is one thing ...mindset is key. I've never understood the appeal of bicycling but I'd love to take this ride just for the experience but only if I had the best bike for this kind of trail , the very best! Looking forward to ep.2 !

YOU ARE SO FAKE :D

At what time u came back to hotel room
