Watching the confessionals about the heat, the bugs, and the rain fully reminded me of watching Survivor back in the day and the struggles of the contestants.
I'm liking the consistent upload schedule on Thursdays again. It looks like you're ahead on content too, which is good news.
Haha somedays when Matthew is smashing a coconut with a machete I feel like we're on Survivor...
We're stoked to have TWR Thursdays back as well!
The wipers aren’t made that can deal with tropical rain. Well done Juan Carlos! The people are at least as important as the location. What a wonderful gift.
It truly was! We're so happy to be here.
Okay, the kids are just the cutest! Never underestimate the impact you are having on their lives as much as them on yours. Yes you are Canadians, your kindness and willing to embrace new cultures shines through. Your beautiful home misses you, but we know you are representing us well. As always - much love 💜
missing home extra these days!
I am Guatemalan living in Canada and I like to watch your videos, they bring me sensations when I see my beautiful country. Although I love Canada but I don't forget where I was born
Guatemala feels endless for adventure! We will be back
You know men Canada was way more free and fun like where you come from
Poetic philosophy and great scenery, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
"We're not Americans, we are Canadians, basically Vikings" Might be the single best random line I have heard watching your videos. Loved it!
I love all of your videos, thanks for sharing this adventure with us! It makes me want to hit the road in my Toyota FJ.
Thank you for being here, the FJ belongs out in the wild!
Wonderful❤ I love the human connections you are making... Many of them will be friends for life! I also love the momentum you're building! I love you both❤❤❤
We love the human connection the most!
Glad to see you guys making these connections.
It's just beautiful adventure. Stay blessed .
Every time I watch a video it gives me the drive to get out in the shop and work on the sunrader. The tdi swap is taking a lot longer then I had hopped but I will be on the road soon enough! Safe travels 🤙🏼
I think we're more excited to see that thing move than a lot of things lol, sending all the good build vibes your way!
Waaoo fantástico, qué imágenes, hermoso, no más azul rio jaja thanks guys.
Hello from the North Central Interior of B.C. The spotted bird in your camp was a guineafowl . Lovin your journey thanks for your sharing .
Great to know! thanks!
The shot with the ants!! 🐜 🐜 Thanks for taking us along. 🥾⛰️🇨🇦❤️
We loved that shot too!
You guys are living it to the fullest. We do kind of similar overlanding adventures here in PuertoRico, but nothing compares to what i have seen in youre videos. Keep at it & enjoy it. Ohh & if you ever come to P.R. hit us up for an adventure😅.
Thank you for watching! We would love to make a trip there one day
Did you know? Those water buffalo's nose rings are made to transport them? They get pulled, and even get carried by the nose! First I've seen it when I was a kid and did not know how strong their noses are.
WOW! That's insane. It was so interesting to see them just chilling
I’m in awe! We all must feel the same when we Watch your videos. You’re taking us to the most MAGICAL places!! Thank you ❤❤
And yes the bugs 🦟🪰 can be over whelming, but you got your rain. Take care Mat and Stacey 🤩👋
Thank you for watching! we love the rain, and can't wait to be bug free!
@@ToyotaWorldRunners Yes 🙌 bug free would be like the topping on the cake 😂😍
❤❤ and it just keeps getting better and better. Greetings from Maple Ridge been around 31 here, but dry❤❤
Thank you!
As far as insect repellent goes look for Nopikex - repellente solido. Comes in a small plastic squarish container. Lather with water and apply to the skin like you are washing with soap. An absolute must for the mosquitoes of Colombia.
It always amazes me that so many people that have so little can find so much joy in life while those of us that have so much, by comparison, can find so much unhappiness. I once saw that to be in the top 10% of income in the world, all one needs to do is to be born in America. I would think that Canada could also be included. The secret truly is not in having all you want, but being happy with what you have.
I got a kick out of your comment about the apprehension of travel to the unknown places that are purported to be dangerous by the media because I just got back from West Virginia and needing supplies, I went to a town with a Wal-Mart. It was here I was able to witness every negative stereotype ever told about WV. Later, at a gas station, I got into a 30 minute conversation with a college-aged guy in a Jeep about overlanding and learned so much about the local area. The next day at a small breakfast place, another conversation with locals truly allowed me to appreciate the state in a way I never would have without these conversations. It really is the human interactions that tell the complete story of a place.
Another great video in your on-going story of adventure.
We couldn't agree more, and it has been such a huge part of our journey. We naturally travel slow, but that has benefited us in so many ways. It's one thing to enter a town just to see the waterfall beside it. It's another story when you stop and ask questions and spend time learning about what's going on in front of the waterfall.
Keep livin' the dream ✌Love every video, thank you!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for sharing your experiences. As Guatemalan living outside Guatemala, I saw places in your video I did not know they exist. Blessings!…🙏🏼😇
Thank you for watching! just wait till you see our next video ;)
Welcome to Guatemala
What a wonderful experience guys, thanks for sharing more about Guate, I can feel that amazing vibe throughout this video 😎, Keep it up
Gracias! We will.
La belleza siempre viene a encontrarse con ustedes. Gracias por tan lindo viaje compartido.
To make a connection with locals that are caring,loving and informative is a memory that will last forever🥰P.S. you’ve reached a new milestone. You now have a Spanish advertisement at the end of your episode.🤣🤘
Haha yes!! Bring on the Spanish ads 😂 thank you for watching!
The palm forest you entered in is man made, that is african palm, the one used in nutella and many other products. Nice videos. Travel safe!
Looks like such an amazing experience, seeing Rio Dulce and el Castillo de San Felipe and all those areas takes me back to my childhood. My parents are from Guatemala and I was very lucky I got to visit a lot of those beautiful places, Tikal being the best. awesome to see more people traveling Guatelinda!
We can't believe we have only met a handful of other travellers. Guatemala seems endless when it comes to views and experiences!
Lol, we stayed at the Eco Camp last night, the geese were so loud. 👍Actually came back towards Rio Dulce and are at a really nice spot on the lake for the next couple days. 🙂🙂
I never thought a goose would keep us up at night....
Yes
Y’all are fucking awesome!
¡Viva TWR!
Thank you!!
Great narration. Great adventure.
Fantastic❤
You should go to laguna brava it’s in Guatemala Huehuetenango
20:24that was a Nissan Miller, that it's a tank. I just found your channel, and I'm hooked. I'm a guatemalan living in the us for 33 years. Guatemala has some spectators views, and a lot of bugs too😂. Saludos from NJ
We want one!! Thanks for watching
Hello again from the seasonally warm Okanagan, thanks for another video. We're supposed to hit 36 tomorrow so a normal July here. The bugs wouldn't be my favorite thing either. We've experienced our version of "buggy" in the Manitoba bogs and bush, the Wilmore north of Jasper and up on the Kokanee Glacier where it was tough to be out of the tent if it wasn't windy. Anyways, I don't envy you with the bugs. Great scenery as always. Safe travels you two.
36 degrees sounds terrible but then we remember there's no humidity, and almost book our flights home. It's definitely the mix of humidity and bugs that can throw anyones mood out the window. Oh well, the highs are worth the minor sufferings.
This episode put me in mind of Explorer Life. That's out of Australia there also on TH-cam. They build some awesome Toyota's. Can't wait to see your next adventure. Roll on landcuriser chinook.
Thanks for being here!
You got to get below the equator and start creeping into winter.
That's funny where not Americans,where Canadians.Basically where Vikings. 🤣 When I was traveling overseas I'd tell people I was Canadian even though I am American for safety reasons. 🤣 Thanks for another great adventure you guy's. Safe travels. ❤
We're pretty sad we don't have a Canadian flag on the vehicle!
Thank you for the nice Video and have a safe Journey
Best rigards from Germany Europa ;)

Thank you so much!
Just got caught up on your videos. Ive been on a 35 day road trip so was a few videos behind. Your journey is as amazing as ever. Keep up the great work and cherish your adventure!
Welcome back, glad you're out exploring! Thank you for watching.
G’day guys, just discovered your channel well done loving it. Please keep up the good work👍👍👍👍🤠
Welcome! Glad you’re enjoying it 🤙🏼
Remember after your travels to pay it forward to other who are traveling and headed your way.
We can't wait to do the same for travellers one day!
That base model 200 series!
When you get a chance use a smoke machine to find your points that are letting in the bugs. And get A/C! Ya'll crazy going to the tropics without.
Big fan of this idea... we never thought of this. And honestly we've accepted that we're lunatics hahah but please send A/C
Grab life by the horns; don't let fear hold you back. Let fear rule your life; it is life you will lack.

❤❤❤🇵🇱🇵🇱❤️❤️❤️❤️ best regards
If y’all are heading to Costa Rica eventually , check out the town of Dominical along the South Pacific highway to Panama… Safe Travels 🏴☠️
Noted! Thanks!
I could have watched ants marching for a half an hour. Now I know where that song came from.
hahah oh no, you started it! but seriously, so pleasing to the eye.
Big chicken 😅 did you get an egg..lol the story telling is awesome, by the way.. I can't wait till next time.
We appreciate the compliment! unfortunately he was out of eggs that day...
The opening statement caught my attention. U guys are way cool. USMC Vet. Your content is great.
Thank you so much!
สวัสดีครับ
My parents hate the influence the series has had on me
Sorry mom and dad, but THANK YOU
TWR
Looks like Malaysia
W
Up your salt and water intake . Still nicer there than here in Nanaimo.
Could be a great idea put in the screen the name of the place you guys are.
Tough as it is. You will figure out it was worth it. Yall are knocking on what happens twice your age that hardly nobody experiences. Toy tough ota makes it better.
We must agree!
"He will be here all week folks!!! Try the veal and tip your waitresses!!"
Why did you not explore Nicaragua?
We explored a bit of Honduras and Nicaragua but due to a time restrain we didn’t make a video, as we were rushing to Panama for our shipping date.
Just a fun fact. Just learned today lol. But the leaf cutter ants don’t eat the leaf’s, they take it to their nest to feed the fungi and eat the fungi. Loved watching them in Costa Rica last year.

Can't we just tap the like button or do we really have to smash it? Are you guys going to buy me a new phone when I destroy mine from all the smashing?
Human contact are defrost from the 80's ? lol so true ,you know men it used to be like this in canada, enjoy it is a higher quality of life
I have to be honest I love the videos but the fact that its mainly just you telling a story is kinda weird I wish you would just show more of you actually using the rig and the camping not just driving around trying to sound like your telling a tail or something... idk this is just my opinion.
สวัสดีครับ
