My first two days on the road in Mexico were full of surprises… from police and military checks, to staying overnight at a gas station - this is definitely building up to be a fascinating trip.

If you wanna check out the full interior of Odyssey in a proper tour video, make sure you hit the thumbs-up button on this video and let me know in the comments below ☺️👌 Lots of amazing adventures in Mexico and beyond coming up!
Eva have you seen the Itchy Boots TH-cam channel? Noraly is another solo female traveller.
i want to join you can i?
@@theunknownunknowns5168 yeah. She is in Guatemala right?
What watch model is that?
nothing new.
her energy is something else.!. And its just so genuine with how she interacts with people.. thats the adventure spirit right there!
You are right
Eva - you prove that attitude is everything ! Your not only brave and courageous but wise to simply adapt as you go. I'm really impressed with you and how you handle all the adversity.
You are so inspiring and just radiate the most amazing vibration! I wish you safe and happy travels and look forward to more!
I love that you go to places that many women would feel unsafe traveling alone, it’s empowering to know that sometimes the world isn’t as scary as we think. I actually spent a couple months in Mexico and loved my time there and my family almost convinced me not to go alone!
please be careful. she is just one person.
I'm a guy and have lived in SCalif most of my 78 years and I wouldn't travel through any part of Mexico right now. So, please stay safe.
Every women or a men feel unsafe outside home...
Americans are truly drama Queens ? They complain about safety in other countries as examples Mexico But the most dangerous country is USA ! Haw many gunshots you have there ! According to statistics the most killed people are in US ? I was attacked in New York but I travel the world and never this happen to me !
@@JohnKrill because you are drama Queen! Haw many people are shot dead in US every year ? US is the most crime committed country in the world ! You going to be safer in Mexico than in US ! I travel the world trust me !
EVA, I Live in Mexico...save your toll receipts when you are traveling...if you break down you will be helped, but they want to see you latest toll ticket...toll roads are safer and better maintained. And you can always get help or directions...
We never use the toll roads when we drive to our new vlogging destination. Too expensive and nothing to see.
Eva, it takes so much patience, dedication & passion to do all of that you're doing. Everything about you is so inspiring. Can't put it in better words but hats off 🙌
This is the first video I've seen on this channel. I love the presentation, the music and your upbeat and positive attitude. I can't wait to see more.
Love how you just pulled through all of your “disasters” and made the best of it. As you said: Travel makes you adaptable!! Can’t wait to see more adventures
Soooo good to see you’re rolling in my beautiful roads in Mexico 🇲🇽. I travel to Mexico often but also my rule is not to drive at night. Dios te cuide mucho. Be cautious!!
If you go to my beautiful state San Luis Potosí la Huasteca potosina don’t miss the cascadas del Tamul en Aquismon San Luis Potosí. Good luck 🍀👍🏽 enjoy every minute. 👍🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🍀
Yeah im sorry but seeing these comments shows how ignorant a lot of people are. Women go missing way too much in Mexico. These comments say the media is lying in the u.s and blah blah blah.its way worse in mexico than the media tells us. The cartels are in a war right now and there’s protests because of how many women go missing.the u.s wont cover those things cuz they dont care. The comments seem to think Mexico isn’t dangerous when in reality traveling alone can become very dangerous especially when it comes to areas controlled by cng,Jalisco and other cartels
Hi Eva . Thank you . Those of us who don't see the world as you do for one reason or another actually do get to see it . And very interesting parts . We get to go with you lol . Always glued to them as we travel . We love you which is why we say always be careful , never forget your skills and keep on exploring . I admire you lol !
Quite lovely to see you cruising and enjoying Mexico, I am from Guadalajara, Mexico and I watch your vdo’s every since in a while; enjoy the ride girl and stay safe, ✨🤙🏻
Best of luck with Odyssey in Mexico, Eva.
I hope you get to have some amazing adventures.
Looking forward to the coming episodes!
She needs to pray alot...just saying.
I love your videos Eva, watching your journey through my homeland Mexico makes me nostalgic, may God bless you and protect you in your journey!
Eva one of your videos just happened to pop up earlier this week when I was on the Field Craft channel. This is the 3rd video of yours that I have watched. The first was the full interior of the Odyssey, the 2nd Baghdad and then this one. I have not enjoyed a channel on YT or a host more than you. Your spirit for adventure, your enthusiasm and your sincerity are inspiring. Thank you so much.
Eva bienvenida a mexico disfruta tu viaje mexico te recibe con los brazos abiertos
As a young person that has been doing what you are doing for a while, it’s very nice to see you experience for the first times why we love overlanding. I hope we meet on the road one day.
Hi Eva! I've watched some of your earlier videos and you seem a completely different person now. You seem super happy, it's wonderful to see. Have a great time on your travels x
Bienvenida a Mexico! Espero que disfrutes la magia de mi país y sigas encontrando mas tesoros y rincones hermosos que hacen de la aventura mas interesante.
@Iván ya vez, para que veas.
Pero fuera del sarcasmo depende de la actitud y la vibración que uno demuestre. En Mexico y en cualquier país hay gente buena y mala es simplemente discernir y usar el sentido común así cómo está chica que a cruzado continentes para tener una experiencia más como lo es Mexico un país con gente muy bonita y que desgraciadamente muy pocos han ensuciado el nombre de nuestra nación.
I am a first-time viewer and now a subscriber. Love your video, love your can do attitude and the ability to adapt as needed. You're going to be just fine. Blessings to you.
Oooh, I see Odyssey IS a TD5 Defender.
You absolutely, definitely, positively, DO need to get some kind of fuel pre-filter/separator fitted before you go anywhere remote in south America.
Sooner or later you're going to refuel at a petrol station where there's either water or sediment in the diesel and, if you don't have a pre-filter fitted, you're going to kill your lift pump, high pressure pump and/or injectors.
The TD5 is a terrific engine (better than the "legendary" 300tdi IMO) but it's a modern engine and it has precision-engineered components that won't withstand poor quality fuel.
@Lancashirelad Yep, the engine definitely has weaknesses (such as the exhaust manifolds warping and the heads slipping on 10P engines too) but they're all things that can, and should, be fixed permanently.
The problem is, the issue with the injectors isn't really the result of a design weakness.
It's just a case of a perfectly good fuel injection system getting wrecked by bad fuel... if you don't fit a pre-filter.
Gotta say, I do worry that Eva hasn't really done her homework regarding the TD5 Defender.
If I was taking one on a long trip I'd definitely take steps to resolve all the common issues first.
@Lancashirelad Yep.
I've watched video's where she's packing her vehicle and I'd be much happier if I was seeing things like spare filters, hub flanges, sensors, UJs and recovery equipment in addition to clothes and camera gear.
Backpacking around the world is amazing but you've only got yourself to worry about.
Doing trips in a vehicle requires a LOT more knowledge because you've got to be able to look after a vehicle as well - both in terms of maintenance and staying out of trouble.
pointless to give this gal any type of advice, she wont listen lol. she will learn the hard way about this.
She'd get car jacked or trafficed before any of that happens :]
Wishing you all the best in this adventure Eva, bear in mind that you are taking all of us with you. I for one, love your independence and pushing your limits ... BRAVO!!! I look forward to the next chapter 😊🥳🤗 Please take care 🙏
Stay safe Eva, you're travelling for me when I can't! Keep it up.
First time viewer. Mexico not the safest country for a young lady on her own. Your parents must be worried! Very proud & happy you’re so self reliant & independent. Bravely & joyfully experiencing the world! You’re amazing well done! X
You are so incredible, Eva. Every Friday I'm excited to see where you are this week. Be safe!
This woman is amazing. You keep inspiring me with all your adventures and experiences traveling around the world.
I love that you called it the tool that lets you do stuff we all become attached to our tools even when we realize that’s what they are
You are very brave. I love your video, I just discovered your channel and I love it. Thank you for take me to your adventures. Bienvenida a México I hope you enjoy it.
I love how you find little positive things when everything seems to be going wrong!
Soft or hard?
What a great adventure! Your videos fill me with a sense of wonder. Well done!
Awesome! Love your driving and camera angles!
Welcome to tropical weather. This is what we call a ""passing cloud".
The Sargasso Weed has been a problem with Caribbean beaches for quite some years now !
There are few drinks that come straight off a tree, that could rival the water from a green (unripe) coconut.
Enjoy your stay Eva !
The bravest woman on this platform...chapeau to you Wonder Woman! I wish I could lead your life for a couple of months at least! xx
Me and my boyfriend drove around Yucatan and Chiapas for two weeks in a rented car and it was a really cool experience. No problems whatsoever. There were checkpoints but the police were very friendly. Felt super safe. I highly recommended it, however we do speak Spanish and it definitely helps.
Everything you explore brings an experience of great pleasure that only you can realize.
Thanks for the hard videos to show us these incredible places, and we are glad to see places through you. Only you🙏
Looking forward more thrilling videos .. Be safe..
Keep on rock 🤘
The voice over was beautiful and the wrap looked delicious! Great job going with the flow Eva! I’ve been looking forward to this video all week!! Woohoo back on the road! As frustrating as the whole transmission situation was in Turkey I’m really glad she had a total overhaul by PROFESSIONALS before hitting the highways! Sippin coconuts on the beach yusss!
I hope to see you interacting with people and exploring different cultures. I loved that about your pre Odyssey days
GIIIIIIIRRRRLLL...YOU SO BRAVE...I WON'T GO TO MEXICO ALONE AND ***I'M*** MEXICAN!!! GREAT VIDEO HAPPY ADVENTURES THANX FOR SHARING!!!
Yeah I wouldn’t want to end up chopped up on the side of the road 😰
Stupidity isn't bravery
Be safe where ever you travel too. It can be dangerous anywhere, just heighten your senses and listen to them. In my past travels about the world my senses were usually correct. Have fun!
Way to always stay positive! I think electronics and issues with cooking happens. But damn...the rain just sucks. Also, congrats on making it to this side of the world too! And hell yeah, a full video of Odyssey!
We have been travel vlogging in Mexico since October 2021 and have done that same route. Currently vlogging from Belize but heading back to Mexico soon. But moving about mostly by combi (chicken van) or a rented car now and then.
Next time you get to a truck stop have a look in the shop as they carry a lot of accessories and you should be able to get a fan that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. It won't cool the air but will create enough of a breeze to help you sleep at night. I used to do this back in the 80's when trucking to Italy before the days of aircon in everything.
I really really hope she is in a nice part of Mexico, especially being a woman in an almost lawless country. I truly hope she stays safe and she'll definitely be in my prayers
You say it's a lawless country ...have you been to Mexico?
@@ricardoespinoza6911 only about...5 times poota. I think you know what I meant by my comment, like Afghanistan, no offenve to the people, it is LAWLESS!!!!! PENDEHO!
So happy and relieved you're taking safety precautions. As much as we wish everyone had good intentions, that's not the world we live in. But damn it still can be so beautiful.
Eva, it ALL gets better from here!
Enjoy Mexico + keep smiling!
Odessey has a great name!
this is great hope your trip goes well !!
I have pretty much the same stove (although a bit banged up) and it sometimes does the same. When you lift that top cover around the burner you can reach with finger around bit that is moved by lock lever and push it in right place - than it works again ✌️ hope it’ll help.
May your adventures take you well beyond your physical horizons. From one solo overlander to another keep inspiring🙏
Noticed my dad was watching some travel shows tonight and I recommended he watch your videos. He just watched one and loved it. He lived in Mexico for a couple years back in the 60s, so it was fun for him to see how it's changed. Stay Safe, Eva!
Go girl &live life! It's a beautiful wonderful world.
You could keep a spray bottle filled with vinegar, alcohol and a little bleach to make your clothes go way farther between laundry stops.
I also keep a spray bottle filled with a little mineral oil, mostly alcohol and some vinegar with plant oils to keep bug bites from itching and keep me fresh instead of showering in the colder weather.
As a Mexico traveler from El Norte, I find it amusing how determined you are to "rough it" in a country with a huge selection of clean hotels and delicious restaurants...both of which cost less than thirty minutes' driving in your Odyssey!
Of course, such great prices are only available in the regions passed over by the foreign tourist herds 😁
This is what she does, it's the feeling of being so close to nature. She does occasionally stay in b&bs if she needs to stay in a place for s while though.
haha exactly my thoughts.
There's two ways of seeing the world in your living room. One is through the media, the other is through Eva zu Beck. Thank you, Eva, for showing us the world in a light that definitely needs to be shown! May blessings be with you all of your days!
wow,its true, i am sitting in a
c chamer, watching videi, u r right sir
I totally agreed with that comment. The world being dangerous as told by the mainstream media is untrue. Bad things do happens but majority of people are friendly and helpful. Safe and joyful travelling.
@@ajbishop890 the world is very dangerous.
Amen
This is the best comment! Very true!
Wow, I applauded because very few people can do what you do. ☺
Living the dream that I've always dreamed of your so free I pray for a safe journey where ever you may go 🙏
Hey! If you're passing through Merida yucatan and need a place to stay for a day and take a break let me know. Polish person living in Mexico for 8 years now. My mama taught me good polish hospitality. Best of luck with your trip and not sure which way you're heading. Amazing adventure, lots of planning with just enough crazy to keep going! Now back to your video I
Edit - Ps Mexico is not as unsafe as people make it our to be. My wife, who is Mexican, has never had any issues or seen violence here. I drove from new York to Merida and had zero issues or any alarming encounters. As any place, stay vigilant and don't go to stupid places looking for trouble, other than that, 99% of Mexican people are amazing!
creepy
@@TomCook1993 okey
you are not from Los Zetas,are you? Zartowalem,mordko.Pozdrowienia z Ukrainy.Kudos dla Polski.
@@wild_insomnia los zetaski! All our support goes out to you! All polish people, even the ones in Mexico are with you! Stay strong!
Hey! Another Polish here, soon coming to
Merida and happy to connect and hang out around the city, thanks
We are looking forward>to the next episode. Mexico is such a beautiful place.
Looking forward for the next adventure. Checking every day
Noticed my dad was watching some travel shows tonight and I recommended he watch your videos. He just watched one and loved it.
First time watching one of your videos and as a Mexican living abroad I have to say it wow!! you’re so brave. I wish you the best and hope you have a great time and I’ll definitely watch your videos of your adventure in Mexico.
I just interviewed a young 20-something woman on my podcast about her solo trip through Mexico and South America and all of the tips and trips for safety, etc.. I loved her story, but I really like seeing your version on video as well!!
Really?
I LOVE how multilingual you are!
We all have “one of those days” occasionally. You handled yours much better than I usually handle mine. Maybe I learned something. I hope so. Thanks.
Love to see you roll with the punches, essential for adventure traveling. Such a bummer to see all of the seaweed on the beach. I hear the whole east side of the Yucatán is plagued with this in the warmer months. Hope you find some clear spots.
Hey Eva !!! 😁So happy for you!! Have a good road trips!!!Wowww what a sunrise at a gas station!! Can't wait for more video's..
Be safe .. God bless you!🙏🏼hello from Greece!!!💙🤍
Watching your adventure just makes me wanna get out there and explore too thanks for sharing your journey… truly inspiring!👍🏼🚗☺️

Ahhh, yes, a female travelling alone in a third world country full of drug cartels, what could possibly go wrong ? Well you go right ahead and do your little bit of travelling and let us know how that works out for you. Perhaps you can show some videos of where El Chapo used to live in Sinaloa. Keep us all posted, can't wait !
Would love to see a full tour. The heater and electrical systems are of great curiosity. Thanks for the great videos!!
I’d love to hear more about the legalities you had to go through to bring Odyssey over, and how long you’re allowed to have the car out of country, etc.
you can typically have foreign cars in the country for a periood of 6 months. At least that was the case when I used to take my American car into Mexico. I paid a $500 usd deposit, which they refund to you once you return the permit, and $100 non-refundable fee.
@@chrisjamesg agreed and understood but since she’s transiting different countries that are all part of NA, I’m curious to know the rules, and limitations. For example, I know I can bring mine to europe for a maximum of 1 year unless I’m a student or something to that effect
I've been to this part of Mexico several times. The beaches are typically pure white sand, but I see they are having a sargassum bloom that causes that reddish brown seaweed to completely take over the entire east-facing coast. They are getting more and more of it every year due to the oceans warming.
Yes, that region of Mexico is having a bad year for the seaweed. It is ruining the tourism on the Riviera Maya. But there are no problems on the Pacific beaches.
Your videos are very inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
Eva, I’ve been watching you for years now and you traveling in Mexico alone shows you have huevos!!
yeah, because the United States is soooooo safe
It is a lack of humility.
Others have already mentioned it, but I’ll emphasize it, as well. While you’re in that part of Mexico, don’t forget to check out Merida, Yucatan. It’s a beautiful city and a must see.
This is pretty bad-ass Eva! My desire is to build my own overland truck and explore different continents. You are a trailblazer✊🏾
So glad you mentioned & acknowledged your blessing despite the audio & food. This was published on my bday....how ironic is that for my 1st time seeing you.
My mother is in the hospital and things are insane rn. Everything makes me feel anxious and lost but your channel today has helped me even just a little bit. Thank you, I’m glad I found you.
with kindness, Texas.
i hope your mother will be alright
@@Maria-xq5pb thank you for the well wishes distant friend. I truly hope so, too.
Seeing you being so brave is very empowering, I don't know how you do it, I'm even to afraid to travel to Italy alone, an this is literally my neighbor country 😅.
Here in Mexico we call the cop bribes 'Morditas', not 'Propinas' which are tips earned by wait staff and supermarket bag packets
Good to see you back on the road stay safe
One of my TH-cam heroes. You go girl...
Hey Eva, I am looking forward to the vlog, I know you will have a great time
You are brave to travel in Mexico. The beaches are beautiful & campsite looks very nice. It looks like A fun vacation.🌹😇Pamela
you can travel safely through mexico
I just managed to stumble across your channel. I love your truck! Your first day sounds like how my first day would go. Sure, annoying, I get it...but...can be overcome and glad you moved passed it. Needless to say, I'd jump in your spot at a moment's notice. Thanks for the great video.
Safe travels!!!
I drove this same route from Veracruz to Chetumal, the Rivera Maya and Belize in a Jeep CJ-7 back in 1989. Your trip brings back a lot of good memories. Be sure to check out Chichen Itza and the indiginous culture. @ItchyBoots another TH-cam explorer is passing through the Yucatan on her way to Alaska about now, it would be wonderful if the two of you could connect.
Was going to mention this to you about Itchy boots !
Noraly may still be still in Guatemala.
All hail the CJ7
This is such an awesome video. I can only imagine the experience in person. Never been to Mexico but heard lots about it. Closest I've been is crossing through New Mexico, and Arizona. Definitely glad you found safe areas to stop at night instead of driving on. Too much of a risk. You have so much courage and strength to go on such a long journey on your own. I have only just found your channel but I can guarantee I'll be binge watching your content now🤣 Hope you are doing well
Good for you, great video.
I love your videos so much!!! Thank you for sharing ❤
When you talk in Spanish = perfection. Espero que aprendas más en tu viaje
Hello I'm new here. I loved that your in Mexico. I would love to go mexico one day. Thank you for sharing your videos ❤️ don't worry about the audio. Things happen
Hi Eva,
I recently was directed to your channel. And after watching several episodes, I am now subscribed. You are definitely the prototypical Intrepid Traveler. I don't know what it is exactly, maybe it's the way you look, your personality, the unpretentious way you draw people to you from the cultures you visit, that make you almost - border-less. You seem to blend in to where ever you are. (Well, you do have an infectious smile on camera.) Looking forward to following your adventures.
Glad you made it
Positiveness, happiness, humor and lovely stories bring me back to this channel ❤️
Hey Eva I have to say that you make really impressive vlogs and you're inspired me so much and I can't wait to make my own adventure videos!! Good luck in another travels in the future!💜
Does Eva have a toilet in her Car?
@@silaslutjohann1530 Why you are asking me?
😂😂
I love your adventures…stay safe!
Enjoy this world and it's adventurous places , sending you safe passage vibes , new fan
You are living the true dream! I know you have thousands of people wanting to be your companion on your trips and maybe more, but there’s something about being on your own and the peace and solitude that would take an INCREDIBLE amount of chemistry to even want to interrupt that at all. God bless you and God keep you safe. Cheers and safe travels. ❤️
Beautiful trip😊
love how you are so positive you motivate me also i would like a full tour safe travels :)
I really Hope you stay safe in Mexico.
Świat ewidentnie należy do Ciebie - jesteś bardzo odważna 😍💪🔥👏
