I'm a born and bred Texan. Lived here all of my 47 years. If you come visit, the best time of year to do it and not have to deal with the excessive heat and humidity (that's the part that's awful), come in March, April, May or in October/November. That's when it's so nice you really don't need to use the air conditioner. And come with friends/family. Traveling alone like she's doing can be risky since there are loooong stretches of pretty much nothing.
How do you know that she isn't trained in self defense? Perhaps in some type of martial arts. They are bad areas in every country, and I'm sure she wouldn't do this trip if she wasn't prepared.
Winnebago is a brand of an RV you drive. It looked like this was a large trailer that is pulled by a heavy duty pick-up truck (often attached to the pick-up in the middle of the truck’s bed - those trailers are known as 5th wheelers). The nicest trailers, imo, are made by Airstream - those are the famous retro-looking silver metal ones. They come in a wide variety of sizes/lengths. The one on the video isn’t an Airstream but it is a nice one - looks to be around 35 feet long with slide outs to enlarged the rooms when parked. Definitely not ‘roughing it’.😂
Eva is from Poland, but she grew up in England. As most Europeans do, she thought that her European passport would allow her to enter the US quickly. She forgot to check the rules at the US southern border. The US border patrol and immigration know that the Mexican cartels try to hire White men and women who speak perfect English and have either American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and other European passports to smuggle drugs into the US. Moreover, her past travels in the Middle East -- with all her visa stamps from those nations --- sent up many red flags for the US government, She was detained for hours and handcuffed for most of that time. The US personnel interviewed her over and over again. Plus they gave her a full body search by a female officer. She did a video on what happened and she was upset that she was treated like a criminal. She failed to realize that the US southern border is a crazy dangerous place on the Mexican side. And that her European passport was not a guarantee for entry into the US. As someone who is an American and someone who used to live in Mexico, I always tell everyone not to enter Mexico by car unless you are traveling with a large group. The poor Mexicans will target you for kidnapping and other seriously violent crimes. Mexicans in this zone view all foreigners as rich if they have any of the passports listed above. I hope she learned a very good lesson by her time at the US southern border.
Same and people like me that was born in the states my mom would always say don't speak English because that also gives off the impression that you have money just because you came for vacation to Mexico
@@noelramirez1551also if you're going into Mexico make sure you have no bills larger than $ 5.00 and split your money between all your pockets so if stopped by the local cops you'll only lose one pockets worth for the bribe, we also hired a taxi that took us wherever we wanted and stayed
@@noelramirez1551 I cannot deny I am an American because I am White as snow. But when I lived in Mexico, I could play dumb when street beggers would ask me for money in broken English. Several times I started talking to myself in German. This would freak out everyone and they left me alone. I also never let anyone know that I speak fluent Mexican Spanish with a Mexican accent. I did this so everyone would think I was a dumb Gringo and they would keep speaking Spanish and I could find out what they really wanted.
@@ESUSAMEX lol for me I have a Puerto Rican accent since my mom is Puerto Rican so sometimes it's somewhat difficult with certain words and then they start asking you where you're from
@@noelramirez1551 Before I moved to Mexico to study Spanish, my Dad's Puerto Rican friend helped me with my pronunciation in Spanish. When I arrived in Mexico, my Mexican family was surprised by my pronunciation but they had a difficult time when I swallowed my words when trying to speak quickly. For example, I would say "Mas o Meno" instead of Mas o Menos. My Mexican friends would get a great chuckle by my Spanish. Within a few months though, I lost my Puerto Rican accent and became "Mexican." When I returned to the US for the first time after studying in Mexico, I had trouble thinking in English. At Dallas Airport, the Latina US immigration official did not believe I was an American until I showed her my US passport. She had heard me flirting with a Mexican American woman in Spanish while waiting on line. Upon arriving at her window to hand over my passport, she asked if I was an American. I said, si and then yes. As soon as I switched to English, she heard my New York accent and said welcome home.
Hi ladies! So, Winnebago is a brand of RV that has been around for decades and is one of the most well known in the industry. They are known for their innovation and quality. And of course, they are expensive, as are most RVs of larger size. My father was born in Dallas, Texas, and my mother’s entire family live there now. Real Texans are a hardy breed of folks ( fringe, lazy types notwithstanding) who like to work hard, play hard, pay their taxes, honor God, and deeply love their country. Now that that may sound corny to some people, or stereotypical. But keep in mind that I have family back there. And while some of them are a little Squirrley, lol!… Nonetheless, what I’ve said here is true generally speaking. If you don’t believe me, go back there and say something negative about Texas and watch the hackles on peoples necks come up. Cheers!!
This trip of hers, started in South America, she went from there to the US, then straight-up the Southwest to the Northwest part of the US, to Alaska and back down. She had some great footage. She's a very nice person.
It's the entire US. The best selling vehicle in every state is a truck. They are the perfect all around vehicle. No matter what you need a vehicle for , a truck can tackle the job. Safe family vehicle, working, hauling, off road....they do everything. They are the Swiss ARMY knife of vehicles 😅
They make trucks too nice these days. Trucks used to have a bench seat and no carpet because your boots were always dirty and the floor was rubberized so you could hose it off.
Winnebago is just a brand. They are called RV's and/or Motorhome for the most part. As well as an RV park is for RV's (usually provide power water and septic, camp sites are different and usually do not allow RV's.
I'm curious to see how Sofie would react to talking with a person from Mississippi in a conversation. The dialect differences and the possible verbal miscommunication would be kind of hilarious, even though they both would be speaking English. Funny things is that a lot of the Southern American accents derive from English settlers back a couple of centuries ago.
13:26 in Texas they have drive-thru bars. Not to get a sealed container, you can literally pull through and get a whiskey on ice and drive around drinking it It's just illegal to be too drunk in Texas, but you can drive while drinking
Winnebago is a brand of RV. I had to laugh at your experience crossing into Mexico. We had a similar experience in New York City. I'm a small town, non-confrontational gal and wouldn't have made it across the border!! This girl comes across better in this video than the last so far.
We used to have a drive thru convenience store in my neighborhood. I think it closed down around 30 years or so ago. Following her adventure last summer was a lot of fun. She got all the way up into Alaska. My favorite part was watching her get her puppy and watching him grow. She came back and brought him with her on her return visit.
There are stretches of wilderness that could be extremely dangerous, especially in the summer, but no more dangerous than if you were going to drive across part of the Australian outback alone. What I love about this woman's experience is the way my fellow Texans showed her genuine respect and hospitality. Underneath all the issues, and stereotypes, that's who we are.
Fruit Loops are marketed for kids and most kids love them because they are sugary.....like most kids cereals........Cookie Crisp, Fruity Pebbles, Cap'n Crunch (peanut butter is my favorite), Apple Jack's, Sugar Smacks, etc.....
That RV was a fifth wheel trailer, and needs a pickup, or tractor to pull it. They usually have multiple slide outs that provide more interior room. The slideouts must be retracted when the trailer is traveling on the road.
America definitely has a car culture (drive thru culture), and I think when it comes to pick up trucks, it comes down to comfort, self reliance (having the tools and parts to fix your own truck, plus a work truck in general) and a sense of independence. We don't rely on public transportation like Europe and other countries do. Obviously, from this video, there is no public transportation anyway, only in major cities, lol.
Lucky Charms has morphed over the years. 50 years ago there were only a couple marshmallow pieces for a few full spoonfuls, like Gayna mentioned. Now there are usually a couple pieces in every spoonful.
Fun fact, many RV's are manufactured in the self proclaimed "RV Capital of the World". Elkhart, Indiana. There is a large Amish community in the area, and many of the RV factories employ the Amish as furniture and cabinetry makers, which is why the interiors of these RV's look so high quality and comparable to what you'd find in a real house.
Winnebago is just one of dozens of brands of RVs, including trailers, 5th wheels and motorhomes. This particular RV is a 5th wheel trailer (and not a Winnebago) made by Keystone, and is pulled by a heavy-duty pickup truck.
Froot Loops were my favourite cereal as a child, but I couldn't eat them now...they're for kids. I don't know if she's "brave" (I can't see her running into battle to fight enemy forces to save her platoon) but she is certainly adventurous. In the US you can easily get roadside assistance on your auto insurance, so if you break down they will send someone (usually an approved mechanic) out to help you. I have it, and I've used it before and it's great.
I went shoeless for quite a few years. It was nice. Full blacktop still burned after a bit. Sandspurs were not annoying any more but cactus still sucked. A few holes at the local disc golf course had prickly pears just off the fairway. Parking lots and roadsides have many dangers. Inside of dry buildings was never a worry if I had no cuts or punctures. You get hard weathered soles but at the same time you get real sensitive to what you start stepping on. And maybe your subconscious is watching the ground even if your conscious sight is looking up and around. Didn't get any parasites. No regrets.
@@beanscollections2020 😁Got it. I can relate to traffic tho (405) haha gorgeous city that Boston. A New Yorker once described Boston as a "clean NY" haha ;)
I’m from Virginia and yes the video was correct for our state. We are known for Smithfield hams , Virginia peanuts and Chesapeake Bay oysters and blue crabs and Brunswick stew. Brunswick stew is something you could try from our state. It’s amazing!🤤
That's why we have OnStar. I got a flat in southern Indiana in the middle of the Shawnee Forest about 3 hours away from Louisville, KY and 55 miles away from the nearest GM car dealership, and I was 19 miles away from the nearest Walmart and town which I wasn't aware of but OnStar sent out a local tow truck and towed me to Walmart to get a new tire and I was back on the road within 3 hours. It was in November when days are short and I was worried that we were going to be stranded out in the middle of nowhere in the dark with hotel reservations going to waste 4 hours drive away. Changing a tire closer to home doesn't make me panic but changing a tire a few hundred miles away from home inside a national forest made me worried. Not to mention where do you find a replacement on such short notice? Most cars pack a smaller tire called a donut in the back which you can only drive 20 miles an hour on to the nearest store and that's it.
Laredo isn't that bad. I go there all the time for work. Granted it's a diff world down there bc so many Mexican drivers are there and they don't follow basic traffic laws but it's a nice place. Best food you'll ever get is there
The cartons of eggs are for cooking and baking. A lot of recipes call for eggs. Actual eggs for that would take up too much fridge space that you need for other items. You can buy both depending on your need. We mainly eat scrambled eggs anyway. We don't bye those large items regularly from a store. The beans and beef is for feeding a family or cooking food for a party. In remote places like where she was, people don't want to go to the store every other day. You have to put more milk in the cearel. Usually fill it to where the pieces begin to float. There’s a coating that starts to dissolve that leaves you with flavored milk to drink at the end. Cheerios is about the only cereal you can eat right out the box for snacks. Never eat American food without an American to tell you how to eat it. We have way too many varieties of an item and alternate ways to it. You can't go into businesses without a shirt or shoes for safety reasons.
Can’t imagine not having a drive thru atm. I mean standing by an atm is extremely dangerious so it makes sense but also it doesn’t make sense to park, get out just to use an atm. Same with picking up medications at pharmacies or depositing or withdrawling money from the bank. At the bank there is a capsule, you put your money in and it shoots up and then over to the bank teller.
Pickup trucks are everywhere now. The vast majority of them are mostly only used as daily drivers now, which is why they’ve gotten ridiculously expensive over the past several years.
People have pickup trucks because they work construction, and to haul trailers on the weekend to go camping. If you like building stuff, you need a pickup, not a little car.
Just a note about drive thru. Really hot places and really cold places have that for the convenience of not getting into the elements. Temp control in the car.
There's a drive-thru shop in the small town near me. It looks like a metal shop building. But you drive through inside, and they have all of the products, drinks, and food on each side, and you just tell them what you want as you drive through. I've only been through there once, years ago. I haven't been by there in a while to see if they're still open.
A couple of thoughts. She's the first person I've heard referring to the road she traveled for a bit "The" Route 66. "Route 66," is the only way I've ever heard it said. The fruit loops thing - YUCK! When my husband first started doing our grocery shopping, I somehow couldn't convince him that I hated the stuff. I was jonesing for Apple Jacks which I've always loved, so somehow one "fruity" thing would substitute for another. NOT :) I believe we stopped at that same diner when I was a kid. That halfway point rings a bell. This was a fun video - although as an old grandma I have to agree with those who said she was taking an incredible risk to travel like that by herself, especially as it seems she was making no secret of the fact.
Winnebago is a brand of well-known RV makers. This is just a Class A RV. They probably call it the Pop-Out or Slide-Out as in this RV part of the side wall will slide out when parked to create a much larger living space than most RVs. Class A's are the beasts on the road. They're 8 to 14 meters (26 to 45 feet) and 13,000 to 45,000 pounds (6000 to 20,500 kg). A handful of states will require a special drivers license to drive any vehicle that has a GW (vehicle weight + the stuff inside) that exceeds 26,000 pounds..... Texas ain't one of them. Class C's are a more typical RV that you will see everywhere here in the US, kind of like the size of small lorry for y'all. They're 6 to 9 meters (20 to 30 feet) and weigh 10,000 to 13,000 pounds (4500 to 6000 kg). These are your typical rental RV. Then Class B's are camper class vans. They typically looks like a regular van driving down the road, but will have sleeping quarters and perhaps a pop-out roof and some other amenities that make them good for taking a nap in. Then there are trailers that you can tow behind your car. They'll run anywhere from pop-out tent sized to 5th Wheels, which they're called because the front of the trailer extends into the bed of the truck. That area is usually a sleeping area.
It's not a class A, that looks like a bus. This was a fifth wheel, and is usually towed by a pickup truck, but could be towed by a tractor, like when you hear tractor trailer. Watch that scene again, and pay particular attention to the shape of the front, and notice that's where the pickup hitches to it.
@@davidcosta2244 I did miss that. I haven't, personally, seen too many 5th wheels with a slide-out, so I think I just assumed it was a Class A. Thanks for the correction.
I think Gaynor and Sophie should watch "Sicario" 1 & 2. That would give Sophie a basic idea of how the U.S. / Mexico border is. Both are excellent movies.
You’re right about the heat Gaynor…. I live in Cali it’s usually around 90° ( 32° C) for most of the summer , but it’s genuinely not too bad. But Ive been to Florida as a young teen and it was 80° (26°) on average , and it felt way worse than California….
This was a great reaction video, an amazing experience for that woman particularly i'm sure, quite the adventure. About the Fruit Loops as a kid on 'this side of the pond' sugary cereals are a part of growing up and Fruit Loops have always been delicious, now that i'm grown up, eating healthy n all that is different but every 6 months or a year i go n buy a box of Fruit Loops n some Almond milk or something like that n reminisce on my childhood a bit lol.
A Winnebago is a brand of RVs. Note: The Winnebagos are a plains American Indian tribe but have nothing to do with the RVs. Still water is not a term used in America. If you ask for water, you will get what we would call flat water and that is the default type of water. If you want sparkling water you would ask for carbonated water, but that may be hard to get. I love fruit loops!! I'm 68 and still eat them. Driving barefoot is illegal in most states.
Most Americans aren’t used to it, not just Texans. I had never heard of that until a stewardess on a plane to Peru when in response to me asking for water asked me “¿con o sin gas?” - I figured my Spanish proficiency was failing me because why would water make you have flatulence? Apparently she recognized confusion on my face and so she switched to English “still or sparkling?” but since I had never heard it in English either, it still didn’t help much and now I was thinking she was asking about Champagne or something. 😂
@@gregweatherup9596I’ve never heard anyone call water “still water.” I immediately thought of “standing water” like a puddle in a drainage ditch or a small pond and thought “ew!”😂
@11:35, it is not the accent they are having a problem with, it's the clackity diesel engine. (well that probably combined with the accent). Most folks at drive thru's shut diesel engines off as they order as they are very hard to hear over.
I will say she is mighty brave driving a Land Rover Defender diesel across the US. There are very few Land Rover dealers in the US, and no diesel Defenders were ever sold here. If she had a mechanical breakdown, the parts would have to be airfreighted from Europe and finding somebody that knows how to work on one would be a miracle.
Lol. Guys, I lived in Laredo, Texas for 15 years. If you heard random gunshots, it was a coincidence that you were there. I think that turning around when going to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico was a good idea, and there’s really nothing to do even on the American side, but your more likely to get shot in Florida than in Laredo. I know there’s a show that makes it seem like the wild west over there (I live in San Antonio now), but that’s just the border patrol stuff. I’m not BP, my family isn’t BP, no one I know is BP, so we don’t live in danger at all. It’s not a great place to live or even visit, but only because it’s not very big and it’s boring. It’s getting bigger, but who cares? Get this, though. A large part of the city is older than the United States. Downtown and other parts. Pretty historic place, but not kept up. And taken over by white influence. The largest celebration in Laredo is the George Washington parade where prominent Mexican families dress their daughters in extremely expensive gowns and have a parade and private ball that no one in the general public are invited to. Started, I believe, to flaunt wealth and subjugate the women making the dresses, all painted in the guise of celebrating George Washington in the whitest ceremony possible that has nothing to do with Mexican culture where no regular person can actually participate and are expected to watch and appreciate. Anyway, if you’re thinking of visiting, I say skip it. Here’s something else cool. I believe that the game show ‘Lets Make A Deal’ gave someone a trip to Laredo as a prize. The place that laughed the loudest and thought it was a complete joke? LAREDO, BABY! The mayor got offended and made a public statement defending the prize and city. Anyways, don’t be afraid of Laredo or Mexicans. Just be prepared to be underwhelmed.
no such thing as "still" water in the US. It is sparkling or just water. There are also Drive-Thru wedding chapels. Get married without getting out of the car.
The marshmellow bits are the best part of Lucky charms. Tbh the non marshmellow bits in lucky charms are just plain and boring. The marshmellows are what makes it edible.
Her and Daz never were in California. Let’s be honest here, aside from an abundance of, Imma call it, super freaks, the state itself, the land and the water and the mountains, rivers and lakes are beyond spectacular. I grew up in Southern California, in Orange County, and during a particularly rough El Niño weather event (also, the first time that we gringos heard the term “el nino”, I was going to surf at the San Clemente Pier, about a 100 yard walk from my front door, but the waves generated by the epic storm wreaked the pier, it was unsurfable. Although a couple idiots paddled around and almost perished before being told by the cops and the lifeguards to get the hell out. So, my uncle, younger sister and myself hopped into his Jeep CJ-5 and drove about an hour away and went skiing at Big Bear Mountain in the San Bernardino mountains. California has more disparate climates based on location than any other state. The coast of California is some of the most gorgeous scenery in the world, from Mexico to Canada, there are several mountain ranges in California, too. San Gabriel, San Bernardino, Sierra Nevada, and so on. California has a little bit of what makes all of the others special, yes, even cowboys, trucks, ranches and open vistas, 2nd only in those areas than Texas , itself. Being in California is different than anywhere else in the country. Being in Southern California, as opposed to Northern California? Same? Vastly different, and in many many ways, the inhabitants loathe to visit their opposite unless it’s something that can’t be helped. I can pretty much guarantee you that if you had the means and the time to see each and every state in the Union, California would be number one quite a bit and even if they were bumped from the top spot, it would be rarely lower than 2. There are myriad reasons why people from other countries want to move to the United States, and the same applies to the states, with exceptions, of course. Californians and their state have enemies and haters, just like “Don’t mess with“ Texas does. Coincidentally, there are many people who are intolerant of all the other people that ain’t well, them.
@@LongieR8erI've been telling people to skip California unless they are going to skip LA and SF. As a native, I've never been more ashamed of how ugly, dirty, chaotic, and sad it's become. I do tell them to try us in a few years to give us a chance to get some changes going. Here's hoping
The druve thru shop she went to isnt all that common in the US. I grew up in Florida where we had Farm Stores which are a chain of drive thru stores. I live in South Carolina now and theyve never heard of such a thing 😆
Also, heat with humidity can make you feel like you're in a sauna. But the heat in Arizona and California can make you feel like you're in an oven lol.
I prefer the dry heat over humid heat. Grew up in So cal but lived in florida for a bit. The Humidity even when it rains can be suffocating. lol The humidity makes it not only hotter but sticky af. lol Give me dry oven southwest heat anyday. ;)
@@prodigypenn this is true. One summer I flew from Phoneix to Atlanta. My first time in the South. it was 113f in Phoneix and mid 90's in Atlanta. But as we stepped off the plane, the Atlanta humidity was like walking into a bathroom after a hot shower. I wanted to turn right around and get back in the plane. I regretted everything. Spent a week there and got a bit acclimated. It rained basically every other evening which was a nice break from rain 5 times a year back home. But I was excited to get back home, the humidity was getting worse as the week went on. I could never live in the South, no sir. Just sweating all day all night, red chafing rashes and yeah, i was over it. Back home it was hotter than ever in Phoenix nearly 20 degrees hotter but it felt so much "Lighter." Even if the air stung your skin.
If you don't like humidity, stay away from the East Coast. I've lived most of my life in NY (long island, not the city) other than when I was in college....the humidity during summer absolutely sucks. And it just gets worse the farther south you get. I was in Miami in May, thinking it would be fine....worst sunburn I've ever had.
I don’t know if I would call her brave I think I would say naïve. Because I don’t know if she’s aware of some of the dangers of traveling like that by yourself and these back roads where there is nobody and if Something Happens the person who stops to help you, maybe someone you don’t want help from. I would say if she had a traveling companion, that would be better, but no I wouldn’t do that on my own and I live in the United States.
It's both. Winnebago is a brand but some, if not most, call them all Winnebago. Kind of like how most southerners call all types and brands of soda Coke. It's weird she never got close to any cities. Texas has some enormous cities where the traffic and highway systems are nuts. I was surprised to not see any mention of them.
She traveled across the western portion of Texas, which is why she didn't hit any major cities. If she had gone up through Central Texas, she could have easily passed through several major cities.
Up until about a week or so ago, Laredo was hitting temps hotter than Death Valley (hottest area in America). haha 115F or 46C, yeah dry heat is nothing like the heat around Houston when it's 100F at 90% humidity or worse. That's over 110F real feel and 105F in the shade...which is basically how summers been around here on average so far. It's a sauna..it's sauna life. Eva took the right path in my opinion. The safer, kinder more true Americana path with probably the best scenery. It's still dangerous but most of the danger is in the cities or especially at the border.
A coke float is like a root beer float but with coca cola instead. Vanilla ice cream in a glass with soda filling the glass the rest of the way. Yummm.
SHe should go to the biggest event in Alaska, and the area that it takes place becomes Alaska's third largest city while the event is going on, and is called Artic man.
Living in Austin, TX for 20 years I can tell you that about 90% of trucks in Texas are all vanity. Trucks should be used for work, not to bully your way around the highway.
i remember the "beer barns' in texas back in the eighties. it was a drive thru where you literally drove into the store and could purchase beer on tap in a cup, in your car, and underage no less. but there was less hate in the world back then. just sayin'. nowadays, if you buy a twelve pack and put it in the back seat floor board and an idiot wrecks you on the way home and a bottle breaks, your getting an open container ticket. true story. thats how i learned to transport my beer in the trunk or bed of my vehicle. may get hot on the way home, but........
72 yo Texan here and we have a saying. "Living in Houston" is a contradiction in terms. Texas has HUGE contrasts in climate, and it does get hotter overall than the UK. We're officially in the tropics. But when it's hot, go to the lake or beach (or in the air conditioning. It's ubiquitous). Texans drive trucks because they're useful first. Traveling from Mexico into the US would be like traveling from South Korea into North Korea. The fact that she chose to drive through the edge of west Texas up to the Palo Duro means she missed a large part of Texas. The piney woods of east Texas are beautiful, the hill country as well (best food), the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex would remind her of greater London. She missed a lot.
I love the part when she assumed those RVs was their permanent residence. Which I found very disrespectful to assume that. The best part is when they informed that they also we're home owners and they were just on vacation.

I like when Gaynor tells one of her first-hand experiences stories about being in the United States. You can tell she remembers the details.
I always thought it was “Gayna” 😂 guess it’s the American in me that heard that all this time
@@UnbiasedRemarks
It’s pronounced Gayna but spelt Gaynor
I'm a born and bred Texan. Lived here all of my 47 years. If you come visit, the best time of year to do it and not have to deal with the excessive heat and humidity (that's the part that's awful), come in March, April, May or in October/November. That's when it's so nice you really don't need to use the air conditioner. And come with friends/family. Traveling alone like she's doing can be risky since there are loooong stretches of pretty much nothing.
Houston has a very different climate than where she was. East Texas gets tons of rain and is very green. West Texas is very dry and desert-like.
Yep and where I'm from in Pasadena the weather is like a lot lizard, bouncing up and down and all around😂
The south-central hill country is great, but the panhandle, umm.
The danger is she is traveling alone. That basically is why folks are telling her to be cautious.
How do you know that she isn't trained in self defense? Perhaps in some type of martial arts. They are bad areas in every country, and I'm sure she wouldn't do this trip if she wasn't prepared.
@@davidcosta2244 Unless she has a gun that self defense training isn't going to stop the average guy much less the average criminal.
@@davidcosta2244trained in self-defense.. bwahahahaha that's hilarious.
@davidcosta2244 Even if she knows self-defense (highly unlikely), she'll still get her ass beat by any man with or without any type of weapon.
She went to mexico alone thats another level of insane even for a man.. its bad enough here

Eva is from Poland, but she grew up in England. As most Europeans do, she thought that her European passport would allow her to enter the US quickly. She forgot to check the rules at the US southern border. The US border patrol and immigration know that the Mexican cartels try to hire White men and women who speak perfect English and have either American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and other European passports to smuggle drugs into the US.

The US personnel interviewed her over and over again. Plus they gave her a full body search by a female officer. She did a video on what happened and she was upset that she was treated like a criminal.
She failed to realize that the US southern border is a crazy dangerous place on the Mexican side. And that her European passport was not a guarantee for entry into the US. As someone who is an American and someone who used to live in Mexico, I always tell everyone not to enter Mexico by car unless you are traveling with a large group. The poor Mexicans will target you for kidnapping and other seriously violent crimes. Mexicans in this zone view all foreigners as rich if they have any of the passports listed above.
I hope she learned a very good lesson by her time at the US southern border.
Same and people like me that was born in the states my mom would always say don't speak English because that also gives off the impression that you have money just because you came for vacation to Mexico
@@noelramirez1551also if you're going into Mexico make sure you have no bills larger than $ 5.00 and split your money between all your pockets so if stopped by the local cops you'll only lose one pockets worth for the bribe, we also hired a taxi that took us wherever we wanted and stayed
@@noelramirez1551 I cannot deny I am an American because I am White as snow. But when I lived in Mexico, I could play dumb when street beggers would ask me for money in broken English. Several times I started talking to myself in German. This would freak out everyone and they left me alone. I also never let anyone know that I speak fluent Mexican Spanish with a Mexican accent. I did this so everyone would think I was a dumb Gringo and they would keep speaking Spanish and I could find out what they really wanted.
@@ESUSAMEX lol for me I have a Puerto Rican accent since my mom is Puerto Rican so sometimes it's somewhat difficult with certain words and then they start asking you where you're from
@@noelramirez1551 Before I moved to Mexico to study Spanish, my Dad's Puerto Rican friend helped me with my pronunciation in Spanish. When I arrived in Mexico, my Mexican family was surprised by my pronunciation but they had a difficult time when I swallowed my words when trying to speak quickly. For example, I would say "Mas o Meno" instead of Mas o Menos. My Mexican friends would get a great chuckle by my Spanish. Within a few months though, I lost my Puerto Rican accent and became "Mexican." When I returned to the US for the first time after studying in Mexico, I had trouble thinking in English. At Dallas Airport, the Latina US immigration official did not believe I was an American until I showed her my US passport. She had heard me flirting with a Mexican American woman in Spanish while waiting on line. Upon arriving at her window to hand over my passport, she asked if I was an American. I said, si and then yes. As soon as I switched to English, she heard my New York accent and said welcome home.

Hi ladies! So, Winnebago is a brand of RV that has been around for decades and is one of the most well known in the industry. They are known for their innovation and quality. And of course, they are expensive, as are most RVs of larger size. My father was born in Dallas, Texas, and my mother’s entire family live there now. Real Texans are a hardy breed of folks ( fringe, lazy types notwithstanding) who like to work hard, play hard, pay their taxes, honor God, and deeply love their country. Now that that may sound corny to some people, or stereotypical. But keep in mind that I have family back there. And while some of them are a little Squirrley, lol!… Nonetheless, what I’ve said here is true generally speaking. If you don’t believe me, go back there and say something negative about Texas and watch the hackles on peoples necks come up. Cheers!!
She does a great video on her first experience at the rodeo in Montana.
She's from Poland, she does a great job with her videos, and has been to several countries.
This trip of hers, started in South America, she went from there to the US, then straight-up the Southwest to the Northwest part of the US, to Alaska and back down. She had some great footage. She's a very nice person.
Having a truck in Texas is not a stereotype, it is life. It is more about the size of your truck.
I love how touching this is... but as a Texan, although its true... its still a stereotype LMFAOOOO
And what you do with/to your truck, lift lower haul or crawl
It's the entire US. The best selling vehicle in every state is a truck. They are the perfect all around vehicle. No matter what you need a vehicle for , a truck can tackle the job. Safe family vehicle, working, hauling, off road....they do everything.
They are the Swiss ARMY knife of vehicles 😅
🤣👍
They make trucks too nice these days. Trucks used to have a bench seat and no carpet because your boots were always dirty and the floor was rubberized so you could hose it off.
The girl in this video is so sweet. What an amazing outlook on life. Something I lost long ago and long for now every day I live.
Winnebago is just a brand. They are called RV's and/or Motorhome for the most part. As well as an RV park is for RV's (usually provide power water and septic, camp sites are different and usually do not allow RV's.
I'm curious to see how Sofie would react to talking with a person from Mississippi in a conversation. The dialect differences and the possible verbal miscommunication would be kind of hilarious, even though they both would be speaking English.
Funny things is that a lot of the Southern American accents derive from English settlers back a couple of centuries ago.
We speak closer to how Brits spoke in the 18th century than the Brits do now
13:26 in Texas they have drive-thru bars. Not to get a sealed container, you can literally pull through and get a whiskey on ice and drive around drinking it
It's just illegal to be too drunk in Texas, but you can drive while drinking
Winnebago is a brand of RV. I had to laugh at your experience crossing into Mexico. We had a similar experience in New York City. I'm a small town, non-confrontational gal and wouldn't have made it across the border!! This girl comes across better in this video than the last so far.
Originally Winnebago is an Indian tribe, and then a city.
We used to have a drive thru convenience store in my neighborhood. I think it closed down around 30 years or so ago. Following her adventure last summer was a lot of fun. She got all the way up into Alaska. My favorite part was watching her get her puppy and watching him grow. She came back and brought him with her on her return visit.
There are stretches of wilderness that could be extremely dangerous, especially in the summer, but no more dangerous than if you were going to drive across part of the Australian outback alone. What I love about this woman's experience is the way my fellow Texans showed her genuine respect and hospitality. Underneath all the issues, and stereotypes, that's who we are.
Fruit Loops are marketed for kids and most kids love them because they are sugary.....like most kids cereals........Cookie Crisp, Fruity Pebbles, Cap'n Crunch (peanut butter is my favorite), Apple Jack's, Sugar Smacks, etc.....
Winnebago is a specific brand of RV.
That RV was a fifth wheel trailer, and needs a pickup, or tractor to pull it. They usually have multiple slide outs that provide more interior room. The slideouts must be retracted when the trailer is traveling on the road.
America definitely has a car culture (drive thru culture), and I think when it comes to pick up trucks, it comes down to comfort, self reliance (having the tools and parts to fix your own truck, plus a work truck in general) and a sense of independence. We don't rely on public transportation like Europe and other countries do. Obviously, from this video, there is no public transportation anyway, only in major cities, lol.
Lucky Charms has morphed over the years. 50 years ago there were only a couple marshmallow pieces for a few full spoonfuls, like Gayna mentioned. Now there are usually a couple pieces in every spoonful.
They would be better if the box was all marshmallows.
I would enjoy watching you react to more of her videos .. Thanks for the fun 😊 ☀
I’m an adult and still love Fruit Loops :)
Fun fact, many RV's are manufactured in the self proclaimed "RV Capital of the World". Elkhart, Indiana. There is a large Amish community in the area, and many of the RV factories employ the Amish as furniture and cabinetry makers, which is why the interiors of these RV's look so high quality and comparable to what you'd find in a real house.
Winnebago is just one of dozens of brands of RVs, including trailers, 5th wheels and motorhomes. This particular RV is a 5th wheel trailer (and not a Winnebago) made by Keystone, and is pulled by a heavy-duty pickup truck.
Froot Loops were my favourite cereal as a child, but I couldn't eat them now...they're for kids.
I don't know if she's "brave" (I can't see her running into battle to fight enemy forces to save her platoon) but she is certainly adventurous.
In the US you can easily get roadside assistance on your auto insurance, so if you break down they will send someone (usually an approved mechanic) out to help you. I have it, and I've used it before and it's great.
I went shoeless for quite a few years. It was nice.
Full blacktop still burned after a bit. Sandspurs were not annoying any more but cactus still sucked. A few holes at the local disc golf course had prickly pears just off the fairway.
Parking lots and roadsides have many dangers. Inside of dry buildings was never a worry if I had no cuts or punctures. You get hard weathered soles but at the same time you get real sensitive to what you start stepping on. And maybe your subconscious is watching the ground even if your conscious sight is looking up and around.
Didn't get any parasites. No regrets.
Oh ya... I've been watching Eva for quite awhile. A little clueless about America but seems pretty openminded. And dude........ America is awesone
Most Europeans cannot comprehend the vast size of the US and how different each region can be, and how much people can vary.
@@beanscollections2020 We Americans have the same culture shock at how small the roads, cars, portion sizes are in Europe. haha
@@FEARNoMore Agreed, but unfortunately me being from Boston, I understand the small roads and terrible commuting too well 😭
😅
@@beanscollections2020 😁Got it. I can relate to traffic tho (405) haha gorgeous city that Boston. A New Yorker once described Boston as a "clean NY" haha ;)
I’m from Virginia and yes the video was correct for our state. We are known for Smithfield hams , Virginia peanuts and Chesapeake Bay oysters and blue crabs and Brunswick stew. Brunswick stew is something you could try from our state. It’s amazing!🤤
That's why we have OnStar. I got a flat in southern Indiana in the middle of the Shawnee Forest about 3 hours away from Louisville, KY and 55 miles away from the nearest GM car dealership, and I was 19 miles away from the nearest Walmart and town which I wasn't aware of but OnStar sent out a local tow truck and towed me to Walmart to get a new tire and I was back on the road within 3 hours. It was in November when days are short and I was worried that we were going to be stranded out in the middle of nowhere in the dark with hotel reservations going to waste 4 hours drive away. Changing a tire closer to home doesn't make me panic but changing a tire a few hundred miles away from home inside a national forest made me worried. Not to mention where do you find a replacement on such short notice? Most cars pack a smaller tire called a donut in the back which you can only drive 20 miles an hour on to the nearest store and that's it.
Laredo isn't that bad. I go there all the time for work. Granted it's a diff world down there bc so many Mexican drivers are there and they don't follow basic traffic laws but it's a nice place. Best food you'll ever get is there
I know a couple that sold their house when their kids moved, downsized to a cottage+ RV combo and they’ve been traveling all over the place
The cartons of eggs are for cooking and baking. A lot of recipes call for eggs. Actual eggs for that would take up too much fridge space that you need for other items. You can buy both depending on your need. We mainly eat scrambled eggs anyway. We don't bye those large items regularly from a store. The beans and beef is for feeding a family or cooking food for a party. In remote places like where she was, people don't want to go to the store every other day. You have to put more milk in the cearel. Usually fill it to where the pieces begin to float. There’s a coating that starts to dissolve that leaves you with flavored milk to drink at the end. Cheerios is about the only cereal you can eat right out the box for snacks. Never eat American food without an American to tell you how to eat it. We have way too many varieties of an item and alternate ways to it. You can't go into businesses without a shirt or shoes for safety reasons.
Can’t imagine not having a drive thru atm. I mean standing by an atm is extremely dangerious so it makes sense but also it doesn’t make sense to park, get out just to use an atm. Same with picking up medications at pharmacies or depositing or withdrawling money from the bank. At the bank there is a capsule, you put your money in and it shoots up and then over to the bank teller.
Pickup trucks are everywhere now. The vast majority of them are mostly only used as daily drivers now, which is why they’ve gotten ridiculously expensive over the past several years.
When you want to haul something with your truck you haul something. When you aren't hauling something you aren't.
Everybody makes fun of pickups till they need help moving
@@ObelixCMM Same with SUVs
People have pickup trucks because they work construction, and to haul trailers on the weekend to go camping. If you like building stuff, you need a pickup, not a little car.
Just a note about drive thru. Really hot places and really cold places have that for the convenience of not getting into the elements. Temp control in the car.
There's a drive-thru shop in the small town near me.
It looks like a metal shop building. But you drive through inside, and they have all of the products, drinks, and food on each side, and you just tell them what you want as you drive through.
I've only been through there once, years ago. I haven't been by there in a while to see if they're still open.
A couple of thoughts. She's the first person I've heard referring to the road she traveled for a bit "The" Route 66. "Route 66," is the only way I've ever heard it said.
The fruit loops thing - YUCK! When my husband first started doing our grocery shopping, I somehow couldn't convince him that I hated the stuff. I was jonesing for Apple Jacks which I've always loved, so somehow one "fruity" thing would substitute for another. NOT :)
I believe we stopped at that same diner when I was a kid. That halfway point rings a bell.
This was a fun video - although as an old grandma I have to agree with those who said she was taking an incredible risk to travel like that by herself, especially as it seems she was making no secret of the fact.
Winnebago is a brand of well-known RV makers. This is just a Class A RV. They probably call it the Pop-Out or Slide-Out as in this RV part of the side wall will slide out when parked to create a much larger living space than most RVs. Class A's are the beasts on the road. They're 8 to 14 meters (26 to 45 feet) and 13,000 to 45,000 pounds (6000 to 20,500 kg). A handful of states will require a special drivers license to drive any vehicle that has a GW (vehicle weight + the stuff inside) that exceeds 26,000 pounds..... Texas ain't one of them. Class C's are a more typical RV that you will see everywhere here in the US, kind of like the size of small lorry for y'all. They're 6 to 9 meters (20 to 30 feet) and weigh 10,000 to 13,000 pounds (4500 to 6000 kg). These are your typical rental RV. Then Class B's are camper class vans. They typically looks like a regular van driving down the road, but will have sleeping quarters and perhaps a pop-out roof and some other amenities that make them good for taking a nap in.
Then there are trailers that you can tow behind your car. They'll run anywhere from pop-out tent sized to 5th Wheels, which they're called because the front of the trailer extends into the bed of the truck. That area is usually a sleeping area.
It's not a class A, that looks like a bus. This was a fifth wheel, and is usually towed by a pickup truck, but could be towed by a tractor, like when you hear tractor trailer. Watch that scene again, and pay particular attention to the shape of the front, and notice that's where the pickup hitches to it.
@@davidcosta2244 I did miss that. I haven't, personally, seen too many 5th wheels with a slide-out, so I think I just assumed it was a Class A. Thanks for the correction.
I think Gaynor and Sophie should watch "Sicario" 1 & 2. That would give Sophie a basic idea of how the U.S. / Mexico border is. Both are excellent movies.
Not just Texas, it's everywhere
Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks are my all time favorites! They’re good.
It’s amazing how much life you gayna lived to tell all these stories 😂
Any vanilla ice cream float, but Coke, Root Beer and 7-Up are best over it.
I'm used to the humidity. I remember going to Grand Cayman and it felt like Galveston.
You’re right about the heat Gaynor…. I live in Cali it’s usually around 90° ( 32° C) for most of the summer , but it’s genuinely not too bad.
But Ive been to Florida as a young teen and it was 80° (26°) on average , and it felt way worse than California….
Ikr? We get oven heat here in Cali but they get sauna heat. I swear I took 2-3 showers a day in the summer when I lived in Coral Springs Florida. haha
@@FEARNoMore yup I’d get musty after 20 minutes outside in Florida😅

In Vegas you can have a Drive-Thru Wedding. Apparently, it's very popular.
Texas Born & Raised. Wouldn't ever change that.
This was a great reaction video, an amazing experience for that woman particularly i'm sure, quite the adventure. About the Fruit Loops as a kid on 'this side of the pond' sugary cereals are a part of growing up and Fruit Loops have always been delicious, now that i'm grown up, eating healthy n all that is different but every 6 months or a year i go n buy a box of Fruit Loops n some Almond milk or something like that n reminisce on my childhood a bit lol.
Froot Loops have flavors: red, green, yellow.
SOFISTICATED JUNK FOR THE ELITE is one of my favorite signs 🤣
A Winnebago is a brand of RVs. Note: The Winnebagos are a plains American Indian tribe but have nothing to do with the RVs.
Still water is not a term used in America. If you ask for water, you will get what we would call flat water and that is the default type of water. If you want sparkling water you would ask for carbonated water, but that may be hard to get.
I love fruit loops!! I'm 68 and still eat them.
Driving barefoot is illegal in most states.
Winnebago is the brand of RV. RV stands for recreational vehicle. We used to call them campers. Now they’re more like tour buses.
Most Texans aren't use to being asked sparkling or still water lol bottle water is all we got 😂
She would have better luck if she asked for mineral water .
Most Americans aren’t used to it, not just Texans. I had never heard of that until a stewardess on a plane to Peru when in response to me asking for water asked me “¿con o sin gas?” - I figured my Spanish proficiency was failing me because why would water make you have flatulence? Apparently she recognized confusion on my face and so she switched to English “still or sparkling?” but since I had never heard it in English either, it still didn’t help much and now I was thinking she was asking about Champagne or something. 😂
@@gregweatherup9596I’ve never heard anyone call water “still water.” I immediately thought of “standing water” like a puddle in a drainage ditch or a small pond and thought “ew!”😂
Winnebago, is a brand name. Their are several different brands of Motorhomes.
@11:35, it is not the accent they are having a problem with, it's the clackity diesel engine. (well that probably combined with the accent). Most folks at drive thru's shut diesel engines off as they order as they are very hard to hear over.
I will say she is mighty brave driving a Land Rover Defender diesel across the US. There are very few Land Rover dealers in the US, and no diesel Defenders were ever sold here. If she had a mechanical breakdown, the parts would have to be airfreighted from Europe and finding somebody that knows how to work on one would be a miracle.
Lol. Guys, I lived in Laredo, Texas for 15 years. If you heard random gunshots, it was a coincidence that you were there. I think that turning around when going to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico was a good idea, and there’s really nothing to do even on the American side, but your more likely to get shot in Florida than in Laredo. I know there’s a show that makes it seem like the wild west over there (I live in San Antonio now), but that’s just the border patrol stuff. I’m not BP, my family isn’t BP, no one I know is BP, so we don’t live in danger at all. It’s not a great place to live or even visit, but only because it’s not very big and it’s boring. It’s getting bigger, but who cares? Get this, though. A large part of the city is older than the United States. Downtown and other parts. Pretty historic place, but not kept up. And taken over by white influence. The largest celebration in Laredo is the George Washington parade where prominent Mexican families dress their daughters in extremely expensive gowns and have a parade and private ball that no one in the general public are invited to. Started, I believe, to flaunt wealth and subjugate the women making the dresses, all painted in the guise of celebrating George Washington in the whitest ceremony possible that has nothing to do with Mexican culture where no regular person can actually participate and are expected to watch and appreciate. Anyway, if you’re thinking of visiting, I say skip it. Here’s something else cool. I believe that the game show ‘Lets Make A Deal’ gave someone a trip to Laredo as a prize. The place that laughed the loudest and thought it was a complete joke? LAREDO, BABY! The mayor got offended and made a public statement defending the prize and city. Anyways, don’t be afraid of Laredo or Mexicans. Just be prepared to be underwhelmed.
St Augustine, FL. is the oldest city in the country.
@@davidcosta2244 woah! That’s amazing.
Yes, Winnebago is brand of RV (recreation vehicle)
no such thing as "still" water in the US. It is sparkling or just water. There are also Drive-Thru wedding chapels. Get married without getting out of the car.
The marshmellow bits are the best part of Lucky charms. Tbh the non marshmellow bits in lucky charms are just plain and boring. The marshmellows are what makes it edible.
Dry heat is fine...until the temperatures stay above 100 degrees day and night for weeks.
You should see the inside of a Prevost motorhome. They cost almost 2 million dollars.
Her and Daz never were in California. Let’s be honest here, aside from an abundance of, Imma call it, super freaks, the state itself, the land and the water and the mountains, rivers and lakes are beyond spectacular. I grew up in Southern California, in Orange County, and during a particularly rough El Niño weather event (also, the first time that we gringos heard the term “el nino”, I was going to surf at the San Clemente Pier, about a 100 yard walk from my front door, but the waves generated by the epic storm wreaked the pier, it was unsurfable. Although a couple idiots paddled around and almost perished before being told by the cops and the lifeguards to get the hell out. So, my uncle, younger sister and myself hopped into his Jeep CJ-5 and drove about an hour away and went skiing at Big Bear Mountain in the San Bernardino mountains. California has more disparate climates based on location than any other state. The coast of California is some of the most gorgeous scenery in the world, from Mexico to Canada, there are several mountain ranges in California, too. San Gabriel, San Bernardino, Sierra Nevada, and so on. California has a little bit of what makes all of the others special, yes, even cowboys, trucks, ranches and open vistas, 2nd only in those areas than Texas , itself. Being in California is different than anywhere else in the country. Being in Southern California, as opposed to Northern California? Same? Vastly different, and in many many ways, the inhabitants loathe to visit their opposite unless it’s something that can’t be helped. I can pretty much guarantee you that if you had the means and the time to see each and every state in the Union, California would be number one quite a bit and even if they were bumped from the top spot, it would be rarely lower than 2. There are myriad reasons why people from other countries want to move to the United States, and the same applies to the states, with exceptions, of course. Californians and their state have enemies and haters, just like “Don’t mess with“ Texas does. Coincidentally, there are many people who are intolerant of all the other people that ain’t well, them.
I always tell Europeans visiting the U.S. to save the visit to California for last.
@@LongieR8erI've been telling people to skip California unless they are going to skip LA and SF. As a native, I've never been more ashamed of how ugly, dirty, chaotic, and sad it's become.
I do tell them to try us in a few years to give us a chance to get some changes going.
Here's hoping
When she ordered water in the drive thru her motor was too loud. Diesels.😂
18:39 Sophie could not figure out the word she was looking for ,it’s “Smorgasburg” 😊
She's Polish, but did live briefly in the UK before she got divorced.
The druve thru shop she went to isnt all that common in the US. I grew up in Florida where we had Farm Stores which are a chain of drive thru stores. I live in South Carolina now and theyve never heard of such a thing 😆
Fruit Loops are all a single flavor just different colors.
Also, heat with humidity can make you feel like you're in a sauna. But the heat in Arizona and California can make you feel like you're in an oven lol.
I feel like it's a matter of perspective, if all you know is hot weather with 60% humidity, dry heat would feel more welcome, and vice-versa
I prefer the dry heat over humid heat. Grew up in So cal but lived in florida for a bit. The Humidity even when it rains can be suffocating. lol The humidity makes it not only hotter but sticky af. lol Give me dry oven southwest heat anyday. ;)
@@prodigypenn this is true. One summer I flew from Phoneix to Atlanta. My first time in the South. it was 113f in Phoneix and mid 90's in Atlanta. But as we stepped off the plane, the Atlanta humidity was like walking into a bathroom after a hot shower. I wanted to turn right around and get back in the plane. I regretted everything.
Spent a week there and got a bit acclimated. It rained basically every other evening which was a nice break from rain 5 times a year back home. But I was excited to get back home, the humidity was getting worse as the week went on. I could never live in the South, no sir. Just sweating all day all night, red chafing rashes and yeah, i was over it.
Back home it was hotter than ever in Phoenix nearly 20 degrees hotter but it felt so much "Lighter." Even if the air stung your skin.
She also gets a puppy dog in Montana.
If you don't like humidity, stay away from the East Coast. I've lived most of my life in NY (long island, not the city) other than when I was in college....the humidity during summer absolutely sucks. And it just gets worse the farther south you get. I was in Miami in May, thinking it would be fine....worst sunburn I've ever had.
11:39 in America nobody says Still water😂 , unless you’re referring to the town in Oklahoma state university is in😂
Froot loops are amazing
I don’t know if I would call her brave I think I would say naïve. Because I don’t know if she’s aware of some of the dangers of traveling like that by yourself and these back roads where there is nobody and if Something Happens the person who stops to help you, maybe someone you don’t want help from. I would say if she had a traveling companion, that would be better, but no I wouldn’t do that on my own and I live in the United States.
It's both. Winnebago is a brand but some, if not most, call them all Winnebago. Kind of like how most southerners call all types and brands of soda Coke.
It's weird she never got close to any cities. Texas has some enormous cities where the traffic and highway systems are nuts. I was surprised to not see any mention of them.
She traveled across the western portion of Texas, which is why she didn't hit any major cities. If she had gone up through Central Texas, she could have easily passed through several major cities.
OMG this girl was in my hometown, I recognize the parking lot lol
Up until about a week or so ago, Laredo was hitting temps hotter than Death Valley (hottest area in America). haha 115F or 46C, yeah dry heat is nothing like the heat around Houston when it's 100F at 90% humidity or worse. That's over 110F real feel and 105F in the shade...which is basically how summers been around here on average so far. It's a sauna..it's sauna life. Eva took the right path in my opinion. The safer, kinder more true Americana path with probably the best scenery. It's still dangerous but most of the danger is in the cities or especially at the border.
A coke float is like a root beer float but with coca cola instead. Vanilla ice cream in a glass with soda filling the glass the rest of the way. Yummm.
I don't know why she didn't know what a coke float is, they are common in the UK too.
She's now somewhere in Alaska. She's traveled in places that I wouldnt even step foot on
If I were her age footloose and fancy free, I'd definitely visit where she's gone.
SHe should go to the biggest event in Alaska, and the area that it takes place becomes Alaska's third largest city while the event is going on, and is called Artic man.
Living in Austin, TX for 20 years I can tell you that about 90% of trucks in Texas are all vanity. Trucks should be used for work, not to bully your way around the highway.
i remember the "beer barns' in texas back in the eighties. it was a drive thru where you literally drove into the store and could purchase beer on tap in a cup, in your car, and underage no less. but there was less hate in the world back then. just sayin'. nowadays, if you buy a twelve pack and put it in the back seat floor board and an idiot wrecks you on the way home and a bottle breaks, your getting an open container ticket. true story. thats how i learned to transport my beer in the trunk or bed of my vehicle. may get hot on the way home, but........
Froot Loops don't have individual flavors. All the colors are all the same non-distinct "fruit" flavor.
I drove through Texas once. Hated it. Never want to go back to that state.
I love her in her videos. Itchy Boots is also great.
The beer barn also sells kegs
Winnebago is a brand. I think to qualify as an RV, it must be drivable (an actual vehicle itself).
72 yo Texan here and we have a saying. "Living in Houston" is a contradiction in terms. Texas has HUGE contrasts in climate, and it does get hotter overall than the UK. We're officially in the tropics. But when it's hot, go to the lake or beach (or in the air conditioning. It's ubiquitous). Texans drive trucks because they're useful first. Traveling from Mexico into the US would be like traveling from South Korea into North Korea. The fact that she chose to drive through the edge of west Texas up to the Palo Duro means she missed a large part of Texas. The piney woods of east Texas are beautiful, the hill country as well (best food), the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex would remind her of greater London. She missed a lot.
Not at all important but route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica(LA), not Sacramento(northern cali) 😜
Yea I’m from Sac I was confused for a second
I've seen her rodeo experience which I think is in Texas as well its worth seeing
Montana...yes, great vlog.
Fun video. I liked your reactions.
Winnebago is a brand of RV. If you crossed over to Nuevo Laredo, your were not safe! Bite your tongue, Froot Loops are delicious!
More of her please
you really need to watch her when she goes to a small town rodeo in Montana.
I love the part when she assumed those RVs was their permanent residence. Which I found very disrespectful to assume that. The best part is when they informed that they also we're home owners and they were just on vacation.
