    Now if someone told me that Mexicans are cold, I wouldn't believe it, because this video proves that they are very hospitable, that's great!

    It was strange in a way watching this backstory as I’ve been following you on Instagram and knew some of the outcome. That said I could share in your excitement in the solo travel adventure that you told us about at the open. On my trip to Europe in 2021 I went solo for the first time for a few days before I met up with my sisters and I LOVED it for all of the reasons you described and more. You handled your situation beautifully and met some wonderful new friends along the way. You know that that’s exactly what I’m praying for you, that no matter the hurdles you guys face, the kindness of strangers like your “cemita” guys and the local police will help you along on your journey. Thank you for sharing the goodness of humanity.

      @@NaickKim Oh, you win hands down for the challenging occurrences category. My biggest challenge was getting off the train one stop too early right after I arrived--jet lagged of course--and had yet to get a SIM card so that I could tell where I was 🤪. (And you can pretty much guess that I was in my favorite country of Switzerland.) While I was familiar with travelling there, it was the first time I'd travelled without my hubby of 45 years, but being alone for a few days was exhilarating and gave me the assurance to say to the 5 ladies in my study group, "yeah, I'll take you over there; we'll have a blast." And we did last year. This year my hubby is going back with me. He's tired of me having all the fun 🤗

I also know the kindness of strangers, not just in Mexico, but as you know, all around the world. Somedays it also brings me to tears after some amazingingly kind thing some complete stranger did for me. This is why I say the world is awesome and the news does not reflect 99% of reality.

    Kim, you handled the situation like a rock star! I can relate to your troubles. I took my first solo road trip in my thirties. I was traveling from Central Kentucky to Hampton, Virginia on the Atlantic coast for a science teacher workshop. I burnt out my brakes coming down the mountains that lie between our states. I had planned to stay in Richmond, VA that night, but had to stop short, at Lexington, VA, where I found a hotel. I made arrangements to take my car to the dealership there the next morning. So the next day, on the way to the dealership, I missed my exit TWICE!!! (This was before GPS was a thing.) Driving up and down the highway with minimal brakes was super stressful, but I eventually made it, got my brakes fixed, and continued my journey without further incident. Being able to handle that sort of situation on my own, as stressful as it was, boosted my self-confidence tremendously.

    We all need the kindness of strangers. It’s nice to see the generosity and kindness of Mexicans being highlighted in Mexico. So proud of you Kim and Naick is so supportive! What a good team! 🌈 I think everyone can relate to this especially women especially after being in a relationship for a long time and not having to do certain things alone of at all. We have to remember that we are brave, resourceful and that there are always people willing to help when we really need it! I think this experience and what you accomplished was more valuable than seeing the ruins. But I hope you still get to see them. Viva Kim en Mexico!!!

      You should be proud of approaching this head-on on your own.
      One suggestion is when you get closer to Colombia to order parts ahead for breaks, calipers, and disks for your breaks because you are now entering the mountains of South America, maybe even line it up ahead of time for Panama so you have it ready in advance. Also, think ahead about your power steering, (fluids, etc.)

Kim, that was a VERY brave thing to do. I am a dude & have never & would never go to Mexico by myself as I do not know how to speak Spanish & am not brave enough. lol Damn my Mexican American friends for not teaching me!! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger... assuming you still have your limbs. Thanks for showing us Mexico & all Mexican people aren't criminals, they're just like us.

      We did have a chance to eat some beef noodle soup though the circumstances behind that meal were bittersweet. It was still a good meal though I think had the circumstances been different the meal would have been 10x better.
