I'm reading your comments and I'm welling up. Thank you for getting it. I'll miss this community like crazy, but I'm so excited to come back with a rested mind, fresh ideas and a new wave of energy. Don't forget to leave me suggestions of more places to go & people to meet in the USA! Stay wild and see you soon ❤⚡
You're an amazing person, follow your heart and mind... YOLO Eva! I love your pureness in the vlogging. I mean you stay behind the cam as a nature talent. I've seen this in your first video's and still see it in your present video's. Your smile, your enthousiasm, your joy, your passion to tell stories. I hope you come back again with joy and your smile and Vilk the rock in your life! See you girl
Hey Eva, I rarely comment. But on this video, I feel like it would help you to read all the support you can get. I am certain that your viewership would gladly and loyally stay by your side, no matter if there's one video a week, a month or a year. There is no need to succumb to the kind of pressure of a weekly update schedule. Don't forget this: We're watching because you're you. We love you, as a creator. So everything that makes your life easier and more enjoyable is what we want for you. Go slow. Enjoy your vacation/period of rest and introspection. Most of us will be here if or when you return, and we don't care about the frequency. We want you to be okay
I would concur with you, there is no pressure for some number of videos a week or month we enjoy hearing about your adventures, when ever you get to tell them.❤
I am an 81 year-old American retired lawyer and judge who always yearned to travel my country and the world to experience the many diverse places and cultures. Sadly, circumstances dictated that I would spend my life either in school or working until old age and health issues grounded me. Then, by chance, I discovered this beautiful young lady from Poland who was bold enough to live my dreams. So, I took a firm hold of her coattails and let her pull me along through her countless travels and adventures. Eva, you cannot imagine my gratitude and sense of loss now that you have announced your "departure". I suppose I took you for granted. I should have known that such a brave and bold bird could not be caged.
Ironically this is why I got drawn to your channel about 2-3 years back, Eva! 😔 Your love for solitude, independence, and freedom are all truly inspiring. Someone as original as you is what the world needs. Certainly would still be here when you return. Until then, take care! ❤️
What ever you end up doing will be great, and if you choose to share we will be here. I found your stories while in a hospital bed a few months ago. You kept me going. I am amazed at your versatility and creativity. You make your home town as interesting and captivating as your in depth exploration of polygamy in Africa. Just because I'm 90 did not keep me from falling in love. You remind me of my late wife who crossed the US on her beloved Vespa 1956! She later planted a vineyard, and started a winery. Bob Taylor, Livermore, CA
Eva, keep in mind you have planted a seed of friendship in people all over the world. Just know that you're a part of many memories and all different walks of life in general... ❤
Creating a friendship is not planned and not even scripted = created with emotion and passion is a truly engaging youtube. Glory to friendship.. peace 🇺🇦
Anyone who truly cares about you Eva is hoping simply for you to find balance in your life. Do what you need to do that is best for you. Wishing you all the best. Much Love, Eva.
Hey Eva, you are loved and appreciated for allowing us to be a part of your many journeys, I’m sure I’m not alone in saying enjoy your time off, we will be here for you any time you want to connect again. Go for it girl 🥂🇨🇦
Hi Eva, you’ve made a tremendous impact on many of us. I am so happy I found your channel. One day at a time. Best to you and Vilk. See you on the flip side…
thank you, I have enjoyed your videos. Enjoy your break and take all the time you need to recharge your creativity. My wife and daughter are creative types and I understand your need for a break. Even though I am fast approaching my 70th birthday you have been inspired me to go travel. The fingerlakes and adirondack regions of New York State has great trails , waterfalls and gorges to visit. Follow your heart and dreams and be happy.
You will not be forgotten, Eva. Take as long as you need. Enjoy your break & we will be here when you're ready to return. Wishing you the very best in life, always!
You and Vilk will be missed. After so long on YT, you deserve a break, for you. Love and peace to you both. I know I'll be here when and if you return. Sincerely hope you do.
Watching your videos is like checking up on a friend who is always travelling. You're not simply a content creator to us. So take your time, whether you decide to come back with weekly videos or monthly videos or unscheduled videos, we will be here. And if you decide to pursue other adventures, that is ok too. Take care. I hope you recharge and feel refreshed soon. Big kisses to Vilk ❤
Well said. I think creators who just create content, their followers are fans. But Eva shares herself as well as her life, so there's a deeper connection. We are not fans, we are friends and though we will miss her, we care more about her wellbeing.
You’ve put out a TON of high quality content behind you. Definitely have a catalogue to be proud of looking back on it. Enjoy your break and refresh yourself as you need!
I feel like social media, entrepreneurial things, and other jobs like that never get vacation time in the way us regular 9-5ers or salaried people do. No break in 5 years is CRAZY, you deserve this Eva! We'll be here when you get back
I think precisely one of the most appealing things about your videos is how thoughtful they are. Honestly, stopping when you need to just sits well with that precious thing at the core of your channel. Take care! :)
Goodbye Eva and good luck to you and VILK! The fact you are stressing so much about the need to take a break, means you need a break big time! Take care and big thanks for all your amazing videos! ❤
You are amazing and so inspirational and that's why everyone will be here for your return. Dont worry, take the time you need and can't wait for the course - it will be amazing. We are proud and honoured to have a friend like you C&M xxx
Oh Eva! This is great news and congratulations! Yes it is the right thing to do, listening to your souls call and taking time to rest and renew. Taking a break, retreating is so critical for our health, and you are a very wise woman. Your decision to do this and share will be a huge support for so many others who do not dare change their situation out of fear. I have done this a few times in my 63yrs and each time is terrifying but eventually leads to something so much greater. I have been following you for a few years on FB, and only today subscribed to your channel on TH-cam to find this video…. hahahaha! Love love that I caught this and I send you so much love and support as you find a new path to unfold your gifts. I live outside of Chicago, IL/USA and have oh so many ideas and stories to share about this country and things to explore. I look forward to watching your next adventure ~ Peace 🕊 💚 🙏🏼 Cynthia
The old Eva videos before the pandemic were so wholesome. I dont know what happened after you came back from yemen. Wishing you all the happiness in the world eva
After your break you could post once a month, some youtubers do it, enjoy your rest! of course you'll be missed, your true audience/fans will still be around when you return!
Eva, thank you so much for the great hours and hours that you delivered to us over the past 5 years. One of my favorite channels in life. Enjoy your break, and hope to see you in the future.
Dear Eva ❤ You are the only TH-camr that I’m really looking forward to seeing your videos…mainly because they are so profound, meaningful and encouraging. Even thought we will miss you, I think you took the right decision (and you can burn out on a dream job, speaking from my own experience 😅). Take as much as time you need to recharge. We will still be here, waiting for you and Vilk to share your insights and adventures with us. 🤗
Eva, I cannot tell you enough how much your videos have positively impacted me on several levels. Living vicariously, being inspired, learning from your travels whilst I cannot travel (yet) to such places and more. I’ve enjoyed every single Vlog of your journey from your early days, to getting odyssey, to getting Vilk, etc. But how you feel is 💯 valid and I think most of us get you, or we at least can imagine. So absolutely take a break. As long as you need! We want you to be a happy fulfilled you. Think of us like an extended family. I think I can speak on behalf of most of your 1.7m viewers and say we’ll be here whenever you’re ready. The algorithm? Trust me, you’re not the first to take a break and you won’t be the last, it’s a necessary part of life. The algorithm will catch up again. It’s creepily smarter than you think lol. “SEE U LATER” 😊 ✌️
Hi Eva! Before you go for your break, I want you to know that you’ve inspired me to make changes in my life that I’ve been so afraid to do for the longest time. I’m not there yet but even taking the first steps and making plans is a big deal for me. Your energy and outlook on life is just so infectious and inspiring. Thank you! Looking forward to whenever you feel like you’re ready to come back! 💜
Ahhh that is so awesome! I'm so excited for you and proud of you! Sending hugs from across the world, and wishing you an amazing journey on your new path
Hey Eva, even if you upload a video like once a month that's okay with us,we won't forget you , you will always be our inspiration, we can still watch your previous video so enjoy your break but please come for us okay? 🥺 be safe always Eva❤
You will not be forgotten AT ALL!!! Please take this break for your mental health. We love you and will be eagerly waiting for you to come back, whenever that is - 1 month, 1 year, 5 years hahah. You have left a deep impression on our hearts and any video from you is always a gift. Love, Gazal from India :)
Eva, You do an outstanding job and I applaud the fact that you recognize what you need to do in order to become even better. I don't think most people understand the time it takes to create, shoot, edit, and download. When I started tinkering a few years ago, I was blown away by how long it took me to do these things. Even when you understand how to edit, the amount of time I took going through the same 3-5 minute reel was crazy. I was editing it like 30 times. Like you said you have to create on a rigid basis. You don't feel you are doing the best that you can do. I know what you are saying. Sometimes it's hard because you have to be in the mood. I commend your decision to take a break. Knowing you and watching your show, there is no doubt in my mind that you will come back swinging. I love your show and as soon as you come back, you will be the first show I tune in to. I'll miss you a ton. See you soon. John
You are such a talented content creator. I especially love your writing style and your openness with other peoples and cultures. I feel like I'm watching a documentary and chatting with a friend. I agree , listen to your intuition and things will work out better. Have a restful, creative, energizing time!
In case no one has told you today, you're amazing and wonderful. Thank you for the stunning stories and adventures you've shared. You've let me live vicariously through your adventures while I've been unable to travel for the past couple of years. Taking care of yourself though, is more important than making travel videos. Be safe, be healthy!
Eva, what a beautiful soul you are. Thank you for sharing yourself the way you do, and for your enormous contributions to your community - you have far more impact than you can possibly imagine. Safe travels and arrivederci!
Five years of weekly ‘have to’ is a LOT. Usually every job affords a vacation, a break time, every year, sometimes a couple of years. You have earned this, darling girl. Will be here when you’re ready. ❤
Five years of weekly ‘have to’ ?? There was no "have to"... no deadlines... no boss hanging over her shoulder. She could easily have skipped a week or two whenever she wanted, and nobody would have questioned it. My only question in this sudden turn of events is... what's his name?
@@Mr.Ekshin Thank you for your blunt, factual statement! My guess is that you are in the same situation as me where you get up every morning and make a decision to do what you do to help a larger collective and hopefully make your small piece of the world a better place!
@@Mr.Ekshin if you need deadlines, boss behind your shoulder and whatever of a poor managed traditional job thats ok, but to be an independent successful creator on social media needs consistency to stick with the algorithm, yeah she probably could have took a break somewhere in the middle but you can easily be forgotten or not grow as much.
Never apologise for practicing self-care. I’m very happy for you that you’ve taken this much-needed step, which is a natural extension of the experience you shared in your “I quit” video. If you’re looking for a place where you can experience that solace you shared, I know another desert in Southern Africa that offers exactly that. ❤
In every sense of the word, you are beautiful. So sweet, so warm, so honest, so genuine. I wish you nothing but good things and don't leave for too long. Thanks for the good vibes x
I love your channel! We are the ones that are blessed to see what you did with your life. I’m so thankful that you recorded everything and shared it! Life is beautiful and I still rewatch a lot of your videos bc they are so powerful and I learn so much! Thank you Eva for all your hard work and triumphs! You are relevant to me! Big kiss to Vilk
Sending lots of love and wishing you the best! You’ve made so much amazing content for us, you deserve as long of a that break you want, don’t feel bad at all ❤️ we love you!
Hi Eva, I found you four years ago, I watched most of your videos with my young twin daughters, now aged 11 years old. If they grow up as creative, strong and brave as you, I would be so happy. You are a great role model and I wish you the best on your journey on this rock
Już się nie mogę doczekać Twojego powrotu! ❤ nadrobię filmy, których nie widziałam - choć odkąd Cię obserwuje, nie ominęłam ani jednego! Odpoczywaj, podążają za swoim sercem i odkrywaj czego pragniesz!❤
Evaaaaa I will never unsubscribe to you. You are one of my most wonderful role models! You are a woman of your word. You’re a go getter and the way you live your life so intentionally and passionately…I just love 💗 see you later Eva 🙋🏻♀️ Free your mind of those constant pressures and Be Well ☺️
🧡 Have a beautiful break!! I really think you should go to visit The Bread and Puppet theatre community in Vermont USA. It’s so extraordinary place and such an unique experience!!
Congratulations!!!! I’m so happy and proud of you for taking this leap. It’s so healthy to every once in a while repot yourself into a bigger container to give your roots a chance to grow into a bigger space. Every few years, when I start feeling trapped or lose my faith in.humanity, I quit my job and go wandering like backpacking from Mexico to Canada or some such craziness. Every time, I meet so many kind, generous, and amazing folks across this country and see so much beauty that it reminds me what a wonderful planet we live on. This year, I’m doing a solo bike across the US from the Pacific (Oregon) to the Atlantic (my home in Massachusetts). Maybe your next adventure should be on foot or bike? Wherever your adventure takes you though, be brave buckaroo!
When an artist such as yourself creates something like these wonderful TH-cam videos we call it a "hot streak". As a songwriter I know that these runs of intense creativity last for a time and then just subside for a while. I come back to your videos again and again because you have a gift for bringing us into these stories. I'm sure you'll go from strength to strenght. Meanwhile, we'll be waiting for your return. Time for some self-care!
Everything you do and say is very appealing to me and I’m sure for a lot of others that watch your videos. You’re a marvelous person and very exciting.
Eva you've been such an inspiration for me in the last years. I really admire you! An example of a brave, strong and free woman. Take your time to recharge and come back stronger!! We cannot forget you. Ever. Take care of yourself and Vilk. We are waiting for you here
Whether you're creating weekly, monthly, or here and there, you and Vilk are always relevant to those of us who care about you both. Putting your life out there for all to see is a lot of pressure. As much as we appreciate you and your channel, you need to look after you and Vilk. You didn't let us down. Those of us who follow your journey completely respect the time you need away. Wish you and Vilk all the best. When you come back, please try and get yourself up to my country, Canada. Especially BC. I guarantee you will love it. Positive vibes your way. Take the time. You deserve it. 🩷 See you later.!:)
At the very least, you have the decency to tell folks what, why and deliver a friendly see you in a while... Many TH-camrs just stop cold, communicate nothing to anyone. Thanks for sharing and letting us know up front.
Your journey has been inspirational to me since I started watching you on youtube last year! You inspired me to develop the 'adventure' part of myself that I had always admired in others but never felt I had. A few months after watching you, I reconnected with a friend from high school and now I go on weekly weekend trips, camping, paddleboarding and traveling; things I thought about but never thought would become my reality. I feel that you helped me to become open to the explorer in me which allowed me to make space for adventures to unfold in my life - so thank you! Also, through your insightful videos, I learned how human everyone else is and how everyone is going through challenges to make it through their day and just how normal that is. I always felt everyone else seemed to have it all together and here I was, not seeming to get it like everyone else. You taught me that pursuing your dreams, still requires every-day life to go on and how the hard days are just part of the adventure! Most importantly, you taught me to go for it - whatever I want and in being who I truly am. I thank you so much for that, Eva. I wish you all the best on your future endeavors on and off camera. And as they say, when we let go of one thing; when we close one door, we make space for something new to come in and for another door to open! I am super excited for what blessings and new adventures the Universe is bringing in for you! I know you will shine your positivity, wisdom and sunny, cherry spirit to the new friends and experiences that await you! Wishing you and Vilck (sp?) all the best!! ❤️🙏🏽☺️
I am a full-time traveler, have been for over 5 years. EVERYONE says, write a blog, make a TH-cam channel, do a podcast, but no one quite understands the amount of time and effort that goes into those channels. What I love about the road is the freedom, to go where I want, when I want and to do what I want, ON MY OWN SCHEDULE. I have LOADS of respect for the time and effort that you put into this channel. Often in the back of my mind I am calculating just how much footage you took or backtracking you did or... You know. But I have also incredibly enjoyed watching you travel because it was nice to be represented. To feel like there was someone out there showing the world a bit about my life. Thank you for that. And thank you for the authenticity. So... The US, hmmm... I suggest you check out some of our amazing long-trails. I grew up section hiking the Appalachian Trail and admiring those who had the gumption to thru-hike. The US has some incredible long-trails and communities surrounding them. I think you would really enjoy not only the actual hiking (running?) of one of these trails but also the people you will meet along the way. And once you are in those communities, the opportunities for adventures will become endless. Best wishes my dear. Travel on and remember "the world belongs to the brave!" 😘
Eva, i want to let you know that even if you take a break for 5 years and after you decide to come back we will all be cheering up you. Just let us know through the newsletter. We love you no matter if you create once a week or once a year. Enjoy your time🎉
Ewa przez miesiące byłaś dla mnie wielką inspiracją. Dawałaś mi odwagę żeby podróżować samotnie w piękne miejsca chociaż zasięg moich podróży był znacznie mniejszy. Będę tęsknić za Twoimi pięknymi filmami. Ale rozumiem Cię, nawet najpiękniejsze życie gdy staje się obowiązkiem zamienia się w więzienie. Kreatywność potrzebuje inspiracji. Powodzenia. Będę czekać na następny film kiedyś.
Knowing when to step back and look after your self and your mental health is an important lesson for so many of us. Good on you Eva. Take as much time as you need and when you return, in whatever format that may be, I'm sure we will all still be here looking forward to your next endeavour. Take care. Be safe.
I just recently discovered your channel through Eamon & Bec and absolutely love it. While you take your much needed break, I will be able to catch up with your past videos. The people who love your channel will be here when you are ready to return. Enjoy your break!!!!
Mental health is so important!! The world needs more awareness and acceptance for burnouts and mental health. So thank you for your words and your decision. ✨ Take care of yourself and have joy ✨ I don’t care about a weekly schedule. Or a schedule at all. When you post something I’m happy to see it, read it or watch it. So I’m looking forward for your comeback whenever you feel like it. If it’s in a few months, a year or ten. TAKE CARE ✨
As a mental health professional, you're making the right decision! And I'll see you on the other side when you decide to come back. Your creative work has been amazing! I and many here appreciate and love your adventures that you share. I live vicariously through your travels, your bravery, your story telling from that soothing, lovely voice of yours. I know that it's not magic to video, string/edit all the clips together and narrate them perfectly behind the scenes. But you truly are inspiring so know that you have globally, positively impacted people. If you're ever in southern California and ever need a place to stay during transit, you've got free shelter here. Yes, please come back to America! Meanwhile, it's very okay to slow down, take a breather, rest more and recharge, and unplug. We are and will all be here for you! See you later!
Enjoy your break! Just when I'm heading for 2 months off line, working at music festivals.. I'll check back for whatever you choose to post - when I log back on. Because I love your style
Hi Eva I am from Dallas TX and I have followed you for a while now. I am pretty sure a lot of us are going to miss you not just your videos but you in particular. I totally understand your point and I feel what you are going through it feels like a relationship. You have given so much of your life to this channel that many of us will follow you and will be here no matter how long you want to take a brake. What really caught my attention was your honesty on your good bye it made my cry. You have made a such big good impact on me personally speaking that even though it hurts knowing that we won't see you for a little while I will be waiting for you your new videos no matter how long it takes. That's what you have earn from us or me in particular because you are a very beautiful talented smart strong lady. So don't worry enjoy your free time and enjoy this new chapter of your life. Sincerely your friendly fan from Dallas TX
I'll definitely jump back in whenever you choose to share your new journey in life with us. Don't be afraid to reinvent the channel. Your storytelling is solid and you speak from your heart. Whatever you choose to do will be great!
Good luck on your break. If you are returning to the USA, check out Cajun Country in Louisiana. South mid Louisiana is way different than the New Orleans area, and completely different than the north half of the state. Look for the traditional French speaking elders and crawfish.
Eva, you are unforgettable! Yes, you will be missed, but you make me so proud to be a woman and so happy to see all the adventures you go on! You’re kind & beautiful & brave.
My family loves you, Eva! This is your life to live & love. Thank you for taking us on so many of your wonderful adventures. When you decide what's next, we will be here, but we are following you elsewhere too. Take care!
I will definitely miss your videos, however what i love the most about them is how truthfully vulnerable you are and that you let us into how you are feeling. When you're sad, when you're happy, all of it. Before you can create authentically, you have to be happy within yourself. To put it simply, if you aren't feelin it, then neither will your audience. Personally, i look forward to your return. You will be back with a new energy full of self care and healing something you used to love that became a burden. Thank you for letting us know, and when you return, whenever that may be, we will ALL be here with bells on waiting for you. We have come to know you through your uploads and you are a member of our family. So we all support you. See you later Eva. Enjoy the Vacation.
I've been a subscriber since 2018 but rarely type comments here. But today is different ,I wanted to show my support and I am so excited about your next journey.
Hej, ja zazwyczaj nie komentuję. Ale poczułam że chcę tym razem coś napisać. Będzie mi Ciebie brakowało. Czekam na każdy Twój film. Uwielbiam włączyć Twój kanał i Ciebie słuchać, gdy dzieci wreszcie śpią. To moj wieczorny relaks. Zawsze Cię podziwiałam (zawsze czyli odkąd się o Tobie dowiedziałam). Nie raz się zastanawiałam jak sobie dajesz radę tam gdzie akurat jesteś. Absolutnie rozumiem Twoja decyzję. Mam nadzieję że wrócisz. Już czekam z utęsknieniem ☺️ i wszystkiego dobrego Ci życzę ☺️
Z jednej strony szkoda bo każdy Twój materiał oglądam z ogromną przyjemnością bo ucze się dzięki Tobie angielskiego. Mówisz naprawde świetnie i zawsze słucham bez tłumaczenia a potem z tłumaczeniem dzięki temu sporo się uczę. Oglądam z przyjemnością bo zawsze gdy oglądam zamykam oczy i próbóję sobie wyobraźić siebie gdy tam jestem, ciszę, spokój, dzikie miejsca i ten szum fal, czy dźwięk wiejącego wiatru. To musi być naprawdę przyjemne i ekscytujące uczucie. Chciałbym kiedyś coś takiego doświadczyć. Doceniam te materiały, filmy, bo nie ma takiego drugiego kanału pozatym jestem bardzo dumny że twórcą tych wszystkich filmów jest polka. Z drugiej strony mam świadomość ile pracy kosztuje montowanie takiego materiału, ile trzeba mieć wyobraźni, samozaparacia w dążeniu do tych wszystkich ciekawych miejsc, ile trzeba mieć siły w sobie aby móc to wszystko ogarnąć. I najważenijsze jest to że każdy człowiek musi znać swoją granicę, nie wolno jej przekroczyć gdyż bardzo szybko można się wypalić i stracić sens działania. Dlatego decyzja jest bardzo dobra. Oczywiście czekam na kolejne filmy, liczę też nawet że może uda się Ciebie gdzieś spotkać na polskich szlakach w Bieszczadach lub Tatrach. Wspinam się tam i w tym momencie są to dla mnie jedyne osiągalne miejsca ponieważ posiadam dużą rodzicę i niedawno stałem się ojcem wspaniałem córeczki oraz dwójki wspaniałych dzieciaczków i szczerze zawsze będę dbał o to aby miały jak największy kontakt z przyrodą i takimi miejscami - wiem po sobie że to jest najlepsze co można komuś dac :) Życze wszystkiego dobrego i czekam na kolejne filmy . Pozdrawiam.
Welcome to America! Yes, take some time to figure out how you want to approach this beautiful country...... and when you come back, don't get bogged down by rigorous weekly schedule and the demands of that kind of production........ you can put out a video once every couple of weeks or even once a month....... that is thoughtful and purposeful and creative........We took three of our four children on a trek from California to Minnesota in 2014... across the northern states....... then drove down to Tennessee and drove home through the the southern states...... and it was so amazing.....24 days on the road...... we had such a wonderful experience. Then in August 2020, we drove my daughter from California to Syracuse NY where she moved...... again... amazing....... but rather more expensive a trip, I don't know why, but we got to experience Covid precautions across the country, which in itself, was an interesting, educational experience..
You made such an impact on so many people with you inmate sharing of your wild adventures and the ups and down. You can make videos on YOUR schedule and we will follow you and support you. Jona Jinton has over a million subs, too, and she only puts a video up when she has time. I am so inspired to be on the road in some small way... you have shown me it is possible.
I was thinking of Jonna right away. She doesn't keep a stict schedule and she has not just over a million followers but 4.34 million. If she can do it so can you.
Hi. Eva, it's been a great experience learning about you and your passion for life. Your love for all things, spirit for adventure, authenticity, and kindness are so beautiful and what draws so many people to want to be co-travelers with you on this life journey; many blessings, and be well.
Think it’s been a while coming but so brave of you to dive into it. Excited for you and can’t wait to see what the future brings. Be well and big hug to Vilk!
Relax, enjoy, you will always have followers wherever you come back. Your honesty and adventurous spirit draws people in. Sending you peace in this transition. Big love 🧡💥🧡
As a Patreon , we are completely behind your decision to take a break. As humans , we need to recharge our battery to keep going just like our cell phones. take your time, check in with the Community from time to time to let us know you're still healthy. Harriet and I are excited about being a part of " Storytellers" We have a story to tell. Sending you much love and affection from Harriet, Jim and Yuki 🥰🥰🥰 Richmond Va. (James O. Costa)
But its just a break on this channel she just let me know about another channel so Eva wont be off TH-cam.....Well take your time Eva and come back refreshed and full of energy.
Hey Eva - I am so glad that you’re doing this. It’s vital, it’s necessary for our minds, body, spirit, and creativity. I make TH-cam videos in a similar spirit as you although I’m still new and small in my journey and already I am encountering everything you speak to. It is insane the amount of capacity, energy, creativity, time, and resilience it takes to make a video every week. I just had to take a few weeks off after getting super sick and have been pondering a lot of this myself and this is what I’ve been noodling so hopefully it’s supportive to you or any other creator out there: 1. True success for us isn’t just in numbers, it’s in finding our true audience - people who align with us. Because that defines the environment that we create within. The only way we find that is by being 1000% true to ourselves. The real ones stay. 2. The more REAL human and anchored we are to our values (aka what you’re doing here) - the more we support viewers to embody their humanity as well. *that* impact is invaluable. How we show up, how we move in our craft is just as powerful as the stories we tell. 3. For myself, the systems, culture, and philosophy that set the standards behind constantly pumping out content (or how you said feeling chained to having to create) - doesn’t align with what I truly value and therefore we get to decide whether or not to empower it. It is scary because there is a lot around us telling us how if we don’t buy into it, we will fail. But that’s simply just not true. Again it comes down to defining success in a different way as well AND knowing that an audience exists for you doing YOU. ❤❤❤ So excited for you and this new chapter! You got this and thank you for setting an example to empower other creators!
I loooove everything about this philosophy! We get to decide whether or not to empower scarcity-based capitalist systems or the organic flow of creativity! One of my favorite artists on TH-cam is Jonna Jinton and she doesn't post weekly and she has attracted a delightfully sweet community by being real and her channel is doing awesome.
I'm reading your comments and I'm welling up. Thank you for getting it. I'll miss this community like crazy, but I'm so excited to come back with a rested mind, fresh ideas and a new wave of energy. Don't forget to leave me suggestions of more places to go & people to meet in the USA! Stay wild and see you soon ❤⚡
Me too.
You're an amazing person, follow your heart and mind... YOLO Eva! I love your pureness in the vlogging. I mean you stay behind the cam as a nature talent. I've seen this in your first video's and still see it in your present video's. Your smile, your enthousiasm, your joy, your passion to tell stories. I hope you come back again with joy and your smile and Vilk the rock in your life! See you girl
I will be missing you for awhile
I’ve been watching you for how many years now every week but so sad but you have to be more happy on what you do
see you next time, have fun out there - hugs
Hey Eva, I rarely comment. But on this video, I feel like it would help you to read all the support you can get. I am certain that your viewership would gladly and loyally stay by your side, no matter if there's one video a week, a month or a year. There is no need to succumb to the kind of pressure of a weekly update schedule. Don't forget this: We're watching because you're you. We love you, as a creator. So everything that makes your life easier and more enjoyable is what we want for you. Go slow. Enjoy your vacation/period of rest and introspection. Most of us will be here if or when you return, and we don't care about the frequency. We want you to be okay
💯
I would concur with you, there is no pressure for some number of videos a week or month we enjoy hearing about your adventures, when ever you get to tell them.❤
Exactly how my husband and I feel.
Once a week.
Once a month.
Once a year.
We’ll be here.
Love your life with you.
It is actually funny and unfortunate because I have just subscribed.
Well said.
Take a break, recharge yourself. We're not going anywhere.
Yes we are going somewhere
Bye
I am an 81 year-old American retired lawyer and judge who always yearned to travel my country and the world to experience the many diverse places and cultures. Sadly, circumstances dictated that I would spend my life either in school or working until old age and health issues grounded me. Then, by chance, I discovered this beautiful young lady from Poland who was bold enough to live my dreams. So, I took a firm hold of her coattails and let her pull me along through her countless travels and adventures. Eva, you cannot imagine my gratitude and sense of loss now that you have announced your "departure". I suppose I took you for granted. I should have known that such a brave and bold bird could not be caged.
Yes she is a free flights bird and even a partner in her life could cause of her block of her sparking imagination
Let her go alone in her life she needs not to be provided any kind of partner but only to give her security wherever she goes
Yes sir... traveling is priceless.
It exposes us to the wonder of nature and ingenuity of different people.
That’s an amazing comment Bob. God bless you ♥️👍
Bob, She's back!!!
You are more important than TH-cam, take all the time you want. Thank you for everything, we love you!
Thank YOU!
@@evazubeck take your time and let the Lord lead you.
Ironically this is why I got drawn to your channel about 2-3 years back, Eva! 😔 Your love for solitude, independence, and freedom are all truly inspiring. Someone as original as you is what the world needs. Certainly would still be here when you return. Until then, take care! ❤️
well said Jane!
What ever you end up doing will be great, and if you choose to share we will be here.
I found your stories while in a hospital bed a few months ago. You kept me going. I am amazed at your versatility and creativity. You make your home town as interesting and captivating as your in depth exploration of polygamy in Africa.
Just because I'm 90 did not keep me from falling in love. You remind me of my late wife who crossed the US on her beloved Vespa 1956! She later planted a vineyard, and started a winery.

Eva, keep in mind you have planted a seed of friendship in people all over the world. Just know that you're a part of many memories and all different walks of life in general... ❤
So very much needed right now!
It's been such a privilege. Can't wait to come back and make more friends :)
@@catherineobrien1764 Let's each be an example to love...
Creating a friendship is not planned and not even scripted = created with emotion and passion is a truly engaging youtube. Glory to friendship.. peace 🇺🇦
I promise all of us beckers will be waiting for your return. Find your inner peace and come back stronger than ever. We love you Eva😭see you soon💖
It would be impossible to forget you! Get your rest, be whole, breathe and enjoy your time off!
Anyone who truly cares about you Eva is hoping simply for you to find balance in your life. Do what you need to do that is best for you. Wishing you all the best. Much Love, Eva.
Hey Eva, you are loved and appreciated for allowing us to be a part of your many journeys, I’m sure I’m not alone in saying enjoy your time off, we will be here for you any time you want to connect again. Go for it girl 🥂🇨🇦
Hi Eva, you’ve made a tremendous impact on many of us. I am so happy I found your channel. One day at a time. Best to you and Vilk. See you on the flip side…
thank you, I have enjoyed your videos. Enjoy your break and take all the time you need to recharge your creativity. My wife and daughter are creative types and I understand your need for a break. Even though I am fast approaching my 70th birthday you have been inspired me to go travel. The fingerlakes and adirondack regions of New York State has great trails , waterfalls and gorges to visit. Follow your heart and dreams and be happy.
You will not be forgotten, Eva. Take as long as you need. Enjoy your break & we will be here when you're ready to return. Wishing you the very best in life, always!
Thanks William!

Why is everyone just talking about Eva, I will miss her incredible dog first of all.
You and Vilk will be missed. After so long on YT, you deserve a break, for you. Love and peace to you both. I know I'll be here when and if you return. Sincerely hope you do.
Watching your videos is like checking up on a friend who is always travelling. You're not simply a content creator to us. So take your time, whether you decide to come back with weekly videos or monthly videos or unscheduled videos, we will be here. And if you decide to pursue other adventures, that is ok too. Take care. I hope you recharge and feel refreshed soon. Big kisses to Vilk ❤
Well said. I think creators who just create content, their followers are fans. But Eva shares herself as well as her life, so there's a deeper connection. We are not fans, we are friends and though we will miss her, we care more about her wellbeing.
All the best to you Eva. You are so right, creative processes can’t be forced. Looking forward to your new adventures!
You’ve put out a TON of high quality content behind you. Definitely have a catalogue to be proud of looking back on it. Enjoy your break and refresh yourself as you need!
This overwhelming love and support from your subscribers is a comforting strength for your future path. We all love you and Vilk. Excited for you !!!
I feel like social media, entrepreneurial things, and other jobs like that never get vacation time in the way us regular 9-5ers or salaried people do. No break in 5 years is CRAZY, you deserve this Eva! We'll be here when you get back
Just discovered this channel, but thankfully I have a 2 year backlog to go thru. Thank you channel creator
Take all of the time that you need! We’ll see you when you get back! Infinity blessings to you and the pup🙏🏽
Take the time out you need and don't feel pressure to publish every week. We all be here when you get back. Sending you much love and positivity ❤
I think precisely one of the most appealing things about your videos is how thoughtful they are. Honestly, stopping when you need to just sits well with that precious thing at the core of your channel. Take care! :)
Enjoy your break. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy.
Good luck, Eva. I hope you and Vilk have many more adventures together, even if we don't get to see them. You've earned a break.
Goodbye Eva and good luck to you and VILK! The fact you are stressing so much about the need to take a break, means you need a break big time! Take care and big thanks for all your amazing videos! ❤
Thanks Andee and see you on the other side :)
You are amazing and so inspirational and that's why everyone will be here for your return. Dont worry, take the time you need and can't wait for the course - it will be amazing. We are proud and honoured to have a friend like you C&M xxx
Oh Eva! This is great news and congratulations! Yes it is the right thing to do, listening to your souls call and taking time to rest and renew. Taking a break, retreating is so critical for our health, and you are a very wise woman. Your decision to do this and share will be a huge support for so many others who do not dare change their situation out of fear. I have done this a few times in my 63yrs and each time is terrifying but eventually leads to something so much greater. I have been following you for a few years on FB, and only today subscribed to your channel on TH-cam to find this video…. hahahaha! Love love that I caught this and I send you so much love and support as you find a new path to unfold your gifts. I live outside of Chicago, IL/USA and have oh so many ideas and stories to share about this country and things to explore. I look forward to watching your next adventure ~ Peace 🕊 💚 🙏🏼 Cynthia
The old Eva videos before the pandemic were so wholesome. I dont know what happened after you came back from yemen. Wishing you all the happiness in the world eva
After your break you could post once a month, some youtubers do it, enjoy your rest! of course you'll be missed, your true audience/fans will still be around when you return!
Take your time and update us whenever you want to. Sending so much love and positivity ❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨
Thank you look after Vilk… I shall miss you and your amazing journey…. Please come back
There is a meaningful life without TH-cam Eva. You will always touch people's hearts.
Eva, thank you so much for the great hours and hours that you delivered to us over the past 5 years. One of my favorite channels in life. Enjoy your break, and hope to see you in the future.
Dear Eva ❤ You are the only TH-camr that I’m really looking forward to seeing your videos…mainly because they are so profound, meaningful and encouraging. Even thought we will miss you, I think you took the right decision (and you can burn out on a dream job, speaking from my own experience 😅). Take as much as time you need to recharge. We will still be here, waiting for you and Vilk to share your insights and adventures with us. 🤗
I never thought it could happen, but indeed even dream jobs need time away ;) Thanks so much for your kind comment
Hey Vilk! Take care of Eva while she takes her break... we're counting on you...
Big time!
He always does 🥺
Nooooooo. 😢. I get it though. I will miss you!
@@evazubeck... miss you both 💖
Totally can relate to taking a break, the algorithm can be a monster sometimes. Enjoy and cya on the road:)
Eva, I cannot tell you enough how much your videos have positively impacted me on several levels. Living vicariously, being inspired, learning from your travels whilst I cannot travel (yet) to such places and more.
I’ve enjoyed every single Vlog of your journey from your early days, to getting odyssey, to getting Vilk, etc.
But how you feel is 💯 valid and I think most of us get you, or we at least can imagine. So absolutely take a break. As long as you need! We want you to be a happy fulfilled you.
Think of us like an extended family. I think I can speak on behalf of most of your 1.7m viewers and say we’ll be here whenever you’re ready.
The algorithm? Trust me, you’re not the first to take a break and you won’t be the last, it’s a necessary part of life. The algorithm will catch up again. It’s creepily smarter than you think lol.
“SEE U LATER” 😊 ✌️
Hi Eva! Before you go for your break, I want you to know that you’ve inspired me to make changes in my life that I’ve been so afraid to do for the longest time. I’m not there yet but even taking the first steps and making plans is a big deal for me. Your energy and outlook on life is just so infectious and inspiring. Thank you! Looking forward to whenever you feel like you’re ready to come back! 💜
Ahhh that is so awesome! I'm so excited for you and proud of you! Sending hugs from across the world, and wishing you an amazing journey on your new path
Take your much needed and deserved break. We'll all be here when you return. 💝
Hey Eva, even if you upload a video like once a month that's okay with us,we won't forget you , you will always be our inspiration, we can still watch your previous video so enjoy your break but please come for us okay? 🥺 be safe always Eva❤
You will not be forgotten AT ALL!!! Please take this break for your mental health. We love you and will be eagerly waiting for you to come back, whenever that is - 1 month, 1 year, 5 years hahah. You have left a deep impression on our hearts and any video from you is always a gift. Love, Gazal from India :)
Eva, You do an outstanding job and I applaud the fact that you recognize what you need to do in order to become even better. I don't think most people understand the time it takes to create, shoot, edit, and download. When I started tinkering a few years ago, I was blown away by how long it took me to do these things. Even when you understand how to edit, the amount of time I took going through the same 3-5 minute reel was crazy. I was editing it like 30 times. Like you said you have to create on a rigid basis. You don't feel you are doing the best that you can do. I know what you are saying. Sometimes it's hard because you have to be in the mood. I commend your decision to take a break. Knowing you and watching your show, there is no doubt in my mind that you will come back swinging. I love your show and as soon as you come back, you will be the first show I tune in to. I'll miss you a ton. See you soon. John
She's too young for you John, she could be your granddaughter man.
You are such a talented content creator. I especially love your writing style and your openness with other peoples and cultures. I feel like I'm watching a documentary and chatting with a friend. I agree , listen to your intuition and things will work out better. Have a restful, creative, energizing time!
That means so much April. Thank you
In case no one has told you today, you're amazing and wonderful. Thank you for the stunning stories and adventures you've shared. You've let me live vicariously through your adventures while I've been unable to travel for the past couple of years. Taking care of yourself though, is more important than making travel videos. Be safe, be healthy!
Eva, what a beautiful soul you are. Thank you for sharing yourself the way you do, and for your enormous contributions to your community - you have far more impact than you can possibly imagine. Safe travels and arrivederci!
Five years of weekly ‘have to’ is a LOT. Usually every job affords a vacation, a break time, every year, sometimes a couple of years. You have earned this, darling girl. Will be here when you’re ready. ❤
Five years of weekly ‘have to’ ?? There was no "have to"... no deadlines... no boss hanging over her shoulder. She could easily have skipped a week or two whenever she wanted, and nobody would have questioned it.
My only question in this sudden turn of events is... what's his name?
@@Mr.Ekshin Thank you for your blunt, factual statement! My guess is that you are in the same situation as me where you get up every morning and make a decision to do what you do to help a larger collective and hopefully make your small piece of the world a better place!
@@Mr.Ekshin if you need deadlines, boss behind your shoulder and whatever of a poor managed traditional job thats ok, but to be an independent successful creator on social media needs consistency to stick with the algorithm, yeah she probably could have took a break somewhere in the middle but you can easily be forgotten or not grow as much.
Never apologise for practicing self-care. I’m very happy for you that you’ve taken this much-needed step, which is a natural extension of the experience you shared in your “I quit” video.
If you’re looking for a place where you can experience that solace you shared, I know another desert in Southern Africa that offers exactly that. ❤
Be well, Eva. Wishing you the best. I really do know what it’s like to feel trapped. We’ll be here when you get back.
In every sense of the word, you are beautiful. So sweet, so warm, so honest, so genuine. I wish you nothing but good things and don't leave for too long. Thanks for the good vibes x
I love your channel! We are the ones that are blessed to see what you did with your life. I’m so thankful that you recorded everything and shared it! Life is beautiful and I still rewatch a lot of your videos bc they are so powerful and I learn so much! Thank you Eva for all your hard work and triumphs! You are relevant to me! Big kiss to Vilk
Life IS beautiful! And I love that compliment: 'you are relevant to me'. Thank you for that
Sending lots of love and wishing you the best! You’ve made so much amazing content for us, you deserve as long of a that break you want, don’t feel bad at all ❤️ we love you!
Enjoyed many of your videos we will all be here when you get back. I can totally understand the burn out everyone needs a break
You've taken care of us for a long time. Now it's time to take care of yourself. Wishing you the best, Eva.
Hi Eva,
I found you four years ago, I watched most of your videos with my young twin daughters, now aged 11 years old. If they grow up as creative, strong and brave as you, I would be so happy. You are a great role model and I wish you the best on your journey on this rock
so true - good luck
100 percent good luck
we are going to miss you
Do what works for you, nit you tube - we will still watch
wishing the best
Już się nie mogę doczekać Twojego powrotu! ❤ nadrobię filmy, których nie widziałam - choć odkąd Cię obserwuje, nie ominęłam ani jednego! Odpoczywaj, podążają za swoim sercem i odkrywaj czego pragniesz!❤
Evaaaaa I will never unsubscribe to you. You are one of my most wonderful role models! You are a woman of your word. You’re a go getter and the way you live your life so intentionally and passionately…I just love 💗 see you later Eva 🙋🏻♀️ Free your mind of those constant pressures and Be Well ☺️
Eeek tak milo! Dziekuje Ania!
🧡 Have a beautiful break!! I really think you should go to visit The Bread and Puppet theatre community in Vermont USA. It’s so extraordinary place and such an unique experience!!
Congratulations!!!! I’m so happy and proud of you for taking this leap. It’s so healthy to every once in a while repot yourself into a bigger container to give your roots a chance to grow into a bigger space. Every few years, when I start feeling trapped or lose my faith in.humanity, I quit my job and go wandering like backpacking from Mexico to Canada or some such craziness. Every time, I meet so many kind, generous, and amazing folks across this country and see so much beauty that it reminds me what a wonderful planet we live on. This year, I’m doing a solo bike across the US from the Pacific (Oregon) to the Atlantic (my home in Massachusetts). Maybe your next adventure should be on foot or bike? Wherever your adventure takes you though, be brave buckaroo!
When an artist such as yourself creates something like these wonderful TH-cam videos we call it a "hot streak". As a songwriter I know that these runs of intense creativity last for a time and then just subside for a while. I come back to your videos again and again because you have a gift for bringing us into these stories. I'm sure you'll go from strength to strenght. Meanwhile, we'll be waiting for your return. Time for some self-care!
Lol “artist”
I am happy for you. Thank you for all that you gave to us. We will be here when you come back 😜❤️🤗
Everything you do and say is very appealing to me and I’m sure for a lot of others that watch your videos. You’re a marvelous person and very exciting.
Take all the time you need! We, the ones who love you, will wait for you as long as it takes! Stay safe! 💜💜💜
Eva you've been such an inspiration for me in the last years. I really admire you! An example of a brave, strong and free woman. Take your time to recharge and come back stronger!!
We cannot forget you. Ever. Take care of yourself and Vilk.
We are waiting for you here
So much love. Thank you
Take your break Eva, we’ll be right here whenever you decide to come back. I personally enjoy your work so I know it will be worth the wait.
good luck its been fun traveling along with you too, really has been fun.
We will always remember you Eva❤️
Good luck to your next journey 😊
Whether you're creating weekly, monthly, or here and there, you and Vilk are always relevant to those of us who care about you both. Putting your life out there for all to see is a lot of pressure. As much as we appreciate you and your channel, you need to look after you and Vilk. You didn't let us down. Those of us who follow your journey completely respect the time you need away. Wish you and Vilk all the best. When you come back, please try and get yourself up to my country, Canada. Especially BC. I guarantee you will love it. Positive vibes your way. Take the time. You deserve it. 🩷 See you later.!:)
Take a break. Recharge. Find you again and come back when you want. Love you and your work. ❤
At the very least, you have the decency to tell folks what, why and deliver a friendly see you in a while... Many TH-camrs just stop cold, communicate nothing to anyone. Thanks for sharing and letting us know up front.
Your journey has been inspirational to me since I started watching you on youtube last year! You inspired me to develop the 'adventure' part of myself that I had always admired in others but never felt I had. A few months after watching you, I reconnected with a friend from high school and now I go on weekly weekend trips, camping, paddleboarding and traveling; things I thought about but never thought would become my reality. I feel that you helped me to become open to the explorer in me which allowed me to make space for adventures to unfold in my life - so thank you!
Also, through your insightful videos, I learned how human everyone else is and how everyone is going through challenges to make it through their day and just how normal that is. I always felt everyone else seemed to have it all together and here I was, not seeming to get it like everyone else. You taught me that pursuing your dreams, still requires every-day life to go on and how the hard days are just part of the adventure!
Most importantly, you taught me to go for it - whatever I want and in being who I truly am.
I thank you so much for that, Eva.
I wish you all the best on your future endeavors on and off camera. And as they say, when we let go of one thing; when we close one door, we make space for something new to come in and for another door to open! I am super excited for what blessings and new adventures the Universe is bringing in for you! I know you will shine your positivity, wisdom and sunny, cherry spirit to the new friends and experiences that await you!
Wishing you and Vilck (sp?) all the best!! ❤️🙏🏽☺️
I am a full-time traveler, have been for over 5 years. EVERYONE says, write a blog, make a TH-cam channel, do a podcast, but no one quite understands the amount of time and effort that goes into those channels. What I love about the road is the freedom, to go where I want, when I want and to do what I want, ON MY OWN SCHEDULE. I have LOADS of respect for the time and effort that you put into this channel. Often in the back of my mind I am calculating just how much footage you took or backtracking you did or... You know. But I have also incredibly enjoyed watching you travel because it was nice to be represented. To feel like there was someone out there showing the world a bit about my life. Thank you for that. And thank you for the authenticity. So... The US, hmmm... I suggest you check out some of our amazing long-trails. I grew up section hiking the Appalachian Trail and admiring those who had the gumption to thru-hike. The US has some incredible long-trails and communities surrounding them. I think you would really enjoy not only the actual hiking (running?) of one of these trails but also the people you will meet along the way. And once you are in those communities, the opportunities for adventures will become endless. Best wishes my dear. Travel on and remember "the world belongs to the brave!" 😘
Eva, i want to let you know that even if you take a break for 5 years and after you decide to come back we will all be cheering up you. Just let us know through the newsletter. We love you no matter if you create once a week or once a year. Enjoy your time🎉
Lol get a life
You are one amazing human! 😍 Wishing you the most nurturing & balancing break.
Ewa przez miesiące byłaś dla mnie wielką inspiracją. Dawałaś mi odwagę żeby podróżować samotnie w piękne miejsca chociaż zasięg moich podróży był znacznie mniejszy. Będę tęsknić za Twoimi pięknymi filmami. Ale rozumiem Cię, nawet najpiękniejsze życie gdy staje się obowiązkiem zamienia się w więzienie. Kreatywność potrzebuje inspiracji. Powodzenia. Będę czekać na następny film kiedyś.
Knowing when to step back and look after your self and your mental health is an important lesson for so many of us. Good on you Eva. Take as much time as you need and when you return, in whatever format that may be, I'm sure we will all still be here looking forward to your next endeavour. Take care. Be safe.
I just recently discovered your channel through Eamon & Bec and absolutely love it. While you take your much needed break, I will be able to catch up with your past videos. The people who love your channel will be here when you are ready to return. Enjoy your break!!!!
We will miss you but take the time you need!! We will still be here! ❤️❤️ Waiting for you! 😁🥰
It's okay to just drop in from time to time to just say hi and let us know about Vilk's adventures. I'm sure he has plenty to say too!
Yes I would like that too 😊
Mental health is so important!! The world needs more awareness and acceptance for burnouts and mental health. So thank you for your words and your decision. ✨
Take care of yourself and have joy ✨
I don’t care about a weekly schedule. Or a schedule at all. When you post something I’m happy to see it, read it or watch it.
So I’m looking forward for your comeback whenever you feel like it. If it’s in a few months, a year or ten.
TAKE CARE ✨
As a mental health professional, you're making the right decision! And I'll see you on the other side when you decide to come back. Your creative work has been amazing! I and many here appreciate and love your adventures that you share. I live vicariously through your travels, your bravery, your story telling from that soothing, lovely voice of yours. I know that it's not magic to video, string/edit all the clips together and narrate them perfectly behind the scenes. But you truly are inspiring so know that you have globally, positively impacted people. If you're ever in southern California and ever need a place to stay during transit, you've got free shelter here. Yes, please come back to America! Meanwhile, it's very okay to slow down, take a breather, rest more and recharge, and unplug. We are and will all be here for you! See you later!
Enjoy your break! Just when I'm heading for 2 months off line, working at music festivals.. I'll check back for whatever you choose to post - when I log back on. Because I love your style
Hi Eva I am from Dallas TX and I have followed you for a while now. I am pretty sure a lot of us are going to miss you not just your videos but you in particular. I totally understand your point and I feel what you are going through it feels like a relationship. You have given so much of your life to this channel that many of us will follow you and will be here no matter how long you want to take a brake. What really caught my attention was your honesty on your good bye it made my cry. You have made a such big good impact on me personally speaking that even though it hurts knowing that we won't see you for a little while I will be waiting for you your new videos no matter how long it takes. That's what you have earn from us or me in particular because you are a very beautiful talented smart strong lady. So don't worry enjoy your free time and enjoy this new chapter of your life. Sincerely your friendly fan from Dallas TX
Eva we are going to MISS you and can't wait for when you return. Thank you for enriching our lives - recharge and return soon!! xxx
Thank you Pieter!
I'll definitely jump back in whenever you choose to share your new journey in life with us. Don't be afraid to reinvent the channel. Your storytelling is solid and you speak from your heart. Whatever you choose to do will be great!
Good luck on your break. If you are returning to the USA, check out Cajun Country in Louisiana. South mid Louisiana is way different than the New Orleans area, and completely different than the north half of the state. Look for the traditional French speaking elders and crawfish.
Eva, you are unforgettable! Yes, you will be missed, but you make me so proud to be a woman and so happy to see all the adventures you go on! You’re kind & beautiful & brave.
My family loves you, Eva! This is your life to live & love. Thank you for taking us on so many of your wonderful adventures. When you decide what's next, we will be here, but we are following you elsewhere too. Take care!
I will definitely miss your videos, however what i love the most about them is how truthfully vulnerable you are and that you let us into how you are feeling. When you're sad, when you're happy, all of it. Before you can create authentically, you have to be happy within yourself. To put it simply, if you aren't feelin it, then neither will your audience. Personally, i look forward to your return. You will be back with a new energy full of self care and healing something you used to love that became a burden. Thank you for letting us know, and when you return, whenever that may be, we will ALL be here with bells on waiting for you. We have come to know you through your uploads and you are a member of our family. So we all support you.
See you later Eva. Enjoy the Vacation.
I've been a subscriber since 2018 but rarely type comments here. But today is different ,I wanted to show my support and I am so excited about your next journey.
Hej, ja zazwyczaj nie komentuję. Ale poczułam że chcę tym razem coś napisać. Będzie mi Ciebie brakowało. Czekam na każdy Twój film. Uwielbiam włączyć Twój kanał i Ciebie słuchać, gdy dzieci wreszcie śpią. To moj wieczorny relaks. Zawsze Cię podziwiałam (zawsze czyli odkąd się o Tobie dowiedziałam). Nie raz się zastanawiałam jak sobie dajesz radę tam gdzie akurat jesteś. Absolutnie rozumiem Twoja decyzję. Mam nadzieję że wrócisz. Już czekam z utęsknieniem ☺️ i wszystkiego dobrego Ci życzę ☺️
Dziekuje Ci Renata
Z jednej strony szkoda bo każdy Twój materiał oglądam z ogromną przyjemnością bo ucze się dzięki Tobie angielskiego. Mówisz naprawde świetnie i zawsze słucham bez tłumaczenia a potem z tłumaczeniem dzięki temu sporo się uczę. Oglądam z przyjemnością bo zawsze gdy oglądam zamykam oczy i próbóję sobie wyobraźić siebie gdy tam jestem, ciszę, spokój, dzikie miejsca i ten szum fal, czy dźwięk wiejącego wiatru. To musi być naprawdę przyjemne i ekscytujące uczucie. Chciałbym kiedyś coś takiego doświadczyć. Doceniam te materiały, filmy, bo nie ma takiego drugiego kanału pozatym jestem bardzo dumny że twórcą tych wszystkich filmów jest polka. Z drugiej strony mam świadomość ile pracy kosztuje montowanie takiego materiału, ile trzeba mieć wyobraźni, samozaparacia w dążeniu do tych wszystkich ciekawych miejsc, ile trzeba mieć siły w sobie aby móc to wszystko ogarnąć. I najważenijsze jest to że każdy człowiek musi znać swoją granicę, nie wolno jej przekroczyć gdyż bardzo szybko można się wypalić i stracić sens działania. Dlatego decyzja jest bardzo dobra. Oczywiście czekam na kolejne filmy, liczę też nawet że może uda się Ciebie gdzieś spotkać na polskich szlakach w Bieszczadach lub Tatrach. Wspinam się tam i w tym momencie są to dla mnie jedyne osiągalne miejsca ponieważ posiadam dużą rodzicę i niedawno stałem się ojcem wspaniałem córeczki oraz dwójki wspaniałych dzieciaczków i szczerze zawsze będę dbał o to aby miały jak największy kontakt z przyrodą i takimi miejscami - wiem po sobie że to jest najlepsze co można komuś dac :) Życze wszystkiego dobrego i czekam na kolejne filmy . Pozdrawiam.
Everyone needs a holiday - enjoy! I’ll still be here when you return, as I’m sure will almost all of your subscribers - don’t worry 😊❤
Welcome to America! Yes, take some time to figure out how you want to approach this beautiful country...... and when you come back, don't get bogged down by rigorous weekly schedule and the demands of that kind of production........ you can put out a video once every couple of weeks or even once a month....... that is thoughtful and purposeful and creative........We took three of our four children on a trek from California to Minnesota in 2014... across the northern states....... then drove down to Tennessee and drove home through the the southern states...... and it was so amazing.....24 days on the road...... we had such a wonderful experience. Then in August 2020, we drove my daughter from California to Syracuse NY where she moved...... again... amazing....... but rather more expensive a trip, I don't know why, but we got to experience Covid precautions across the country, which in itself, was an interesting, educational experience..
You made such an impact on so many people with you inmate sharing of your wild adventures and the ups and down. You can make videos on YOUR schedule and we will follow you and support you. Jona Jinton has over a million subs, too, and she only puts a video up when she has time. I am so inspired to be on the road in some small way... you have shown me it is possible.
I love you Eva i'm your avid fan staysafe Godbless
I was thinking of Jonna right away. She doesn't keep a stict schedule and she has not just over a million followers but 4.34 million. If she can do it so can you.
Hi. Eva, it's been a great experience learning about you and your passion for life. Your love for all things, spirit for adventure, authenticity, and kindness are so beautiful and what draws so many people to want to be co-travelers with you on this life journey; many blessings, and be well.
Think it’s been a while coming but so brave of you to dive into it. Excited for you and can’t wait to see what the future brings. Be well and big hug to Vilk!
Yep, yep, yep. All perfect. I’m pleased you will be back in the US! Will also be interested in your course.
Relax, enjoy, you will always have followers wherever you come back. Your honesty and adventurous spirit draws people in. Sending you peace in this transition. Big love 🧡💥🧡

But its just a break on this channel she just let me know about another channel so Eva wont be off TH-cam.....Well take your time Eva and come back refreshed and full of energy.
Hey Eva - I am so glad that you’re doing this. It’s vital, it’s necessary for our minds, body, spirit, and creativity. I make TH-cam videos in a similar spirit as you although I’m still new and small in my journey and already I am encountering everything you speak to. It is insane the amount of capacity, energy, creativity, time, and resilience it takes to make a video every week. I just had to take a few weeks off after getting super sick and have been pondering a lot of this myself and this is what I’ve been noodling so hopefully it’s supportive to you or any other creator out there:
1. True success for us isn’t just in numbers, it’s in finding our true audience - people who align with us. Because that defines the environment that we create within. The only way we find that is by being 1000% true to ourselves. The real ones stay.
2. The more REAL human and anchored we are to our values (aka what you’re doing here) - the more we support viewers to embody their humanity as well. *that* impact is invaluable. How we show up, how we move in our craft is just as powerful as the stories we tell.
3. For myself, the systems, culture, and philosophy that set the standards behind constantly pumping out content (or how you said feeling chained to having to create) - doesn’t align with what I truly value and therefore we get to decide whether or not to empower it. It is scary because there is a lot around us telling us how if we don’t buy into it, we will fail. But that’s simply just not true. Again it comes down to defining success in a different way as well AND knowing that an audience exists for you doing YOU.
❤❤❤ So excited for you and this new chapter! You got this and thank you for setting an example to empower other creators!
I loooove everything about this philosophy! We get to decide whether or not to empower scarcity-based capitalist systems or the organic flow of creativity! One of my favorite artists on TH-cam is Jonna Jinton and she doesn't post weekly and she has attracted a delightfully sweet community by being real and her channel is doing awesome.
I miss you , your travel videos has been very inspiring, thank you
