Thank you for watching ❤ the most important question is... Which ice cream flavor is your favorite? 😉
It depends on where you get it from and in which country.
I was wondering… No runny belly? I was thinking esp with artisanal ice cream like Naick… love passion fruit and as delicious as it may be I’m always ever so careful with water based drinks (or ice based) as I was warned not drink water from tap water / only filtered or bottled water. In my travels it definitely has stopped me from trying new things.🥺
@@MrSimonj1970 oh nice choice! Gelato :)
@@sabrinastraveladventures4263 we used to be much more careful with our food but we found after a while that when you travel full time like us you just can't avoid everything that might trigger stomach problems. We used to avoid salads for the raw veggies / washed in water, etc but now we just eat them because veggies are already a bit more scarce if you have lots of street food :) we don't ever drink tap water though, always bottled water. But other than that we eat pretty 'normal' I'd say :)
@@NaickKim being young and in good shape really help I believe. I wished I didn’t have to think too much, having a compromised immune system after failing a few times you get a reminder from time to time in my case it may not be worth the risks☹️ so I get a bit envious I wished I could do all these… but on other hand I will go swim with ‘ crocs’ 🐊 less of a risk🤭 it’s complicated to be a dare devil that has to act responsibly 😇vs😈
@@sabrinastraveladventures4263 I see what you mean. Wish it was different for you, but look at everything that you have done in the past few years already! There are limits to the things you can do, but you still do A LOT 🥰🥰 ps: what, swim with crocs? 😮please tell me this is a scale model of a croc 🤪 or one of those inflatable pool thingies
The Santa Ann Volcano is so beautiful, I didn't expect the color of the lake to be so bright;
It's hard to imagine how those hawkers brought those ice creams up there;
Which ice cream flavor is my favorite? All flavors should be liked！👍😃👌
聖安哪火山好美麗，沒想到湖水顏色是這麼鮮豔；
很難想像，那些小販是如何將那些冰淇淋搬上去；
我最喜歡哪種冰淇淋口味？應該所有口味都喜歡！
Yes those hawkers are our heroes haha 🤪 so good to have an ice cream with that view!
@@NaickKim Yes, no one can resist ice cream with that amazing view! 🥰👌 Take care good of each other!
@@giannishen thank you Gianni! Have a good day:)
@@NaickKim Thank you very much too, you are very kind and friendly！Have a beautiful life and have a great travel. 👍🥰🙏
In all my life I was afraid of volcanoes but this video has given me the courage to jump into an active one. Appreciated.
Oh that is so nice! Just please don't jump into the crater haha 😉
@@NaickKim 😝
這裡太美了！謝謝你們的影片帶我們看這個美麗的世界💕
Hello! I loved the video, I am one of the students from the school who climbed the volcano, I am proud to know that they liked a place of our beautiful American flea. I have a TH-cam channel and it would be an honor for me to be able to make a video reacting to this video and see how it was during that beautiful adventure. (I don't speak English but a translator helps me, Lol.) Congratulations and welcome to El Salvador 🇸🇻💕🌋
Thanks Jenny! We are glad you liked it ☺️ El Salvador is beautiful🥰
OH my gosh after how sick you guys were i am so freaking proud of you two!!!...So looking forward to your next adventure!! (we also do our best to get back to our accommodations before dark...no need to test the fate)...viv
Thank you Viv 😍
Salvadorean people love you! Thanks for Sharing in your videos part of our small piece of paradise named El Salvador.
Muchas gracias por visitar nuestro país El Salvador 🇸🇻. Saludos y bendiciones desde Santa Ana El Salvador 💙🙋🏻♂️🇸🇻
Great job climbing that volcano 🌋!!!
Thank you!!
You guys are Troopers! And this Volcano was fascinating!! Thank you for seizing the moment for some of us who will never go there😃..stay safe...maybe you would like to hike Tamanique Falls..Thanks Beth
Thank you Beth ❤️ glad you liked it ☺️☺️ we're going to a waterfall in our next vid coming this weekend 🌊
Que alegría saber que una linda pareja disfrutó unos días de nuestro país El Salvador, Dios los bendiga siempre y que les acompañe en sus proyectos de viaje!.... Cuando así lo deseen uds son bienvenidos de nuevo a su Otra casa que se llama El Salvador...... Un abrazo
Wow!!! You did it!!! You had me cheering you all the way up, and at the end you did it!!!!. I'm glad you enjoyed El Salvador. Thank you for visiting and happy travels.
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME GUYS.......LOVE THE VOLCANO SCENE
We are glad you liked it ☺️ super impressive isn't it, the crater? 🤯
Recuerdo cuando escalé ese volcán. Wow amazing views
Fantastic shot, the fog moving over the cráter to cover it completely. It's so funny i just found you 2 years later of your trip, today is July/1/2024.
We loved this trip so much. We'll have to go back there soon 🥰
Qué grandes recuerdos me encontré con este contenido ❤️💙 Extrañando mi 🇸🇻
amamos El Salvador, es hermoso :) me alegro que te haya gustado el video!
Just outstanding scenery! Love it!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
Breathtaking! Literally 😉😉
This is so sweet 🥰, I love it all 🇸🇻❤️
You had me worried when I saw the caption "She wasn't ready." I thought that Kim had had an accident on the way up or down. Thankfully all went well, and those drone shots were great.
We did not mean to worry you ❤️ it felt like an accurate summary of the video given my struggle with the altitude haha :)
You two did great! You just aren’t used to the altitude. Makes such a difference. Thank goodness for ice cream!
Yes it makes a massive difference. Santa Ana is at 600 metres and the volcano crater at 2300 metres which is a big difference in just a couple hours haha 🤪 that ice cream was godsent, that alone made it worth it :D
Just found your channel...great video! Love your sense of humor while hiking (I would feel the same) 😀
Y’all are so hilarious! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences traveling. 🤍
You both look awesome together. Keep smiling and keep inspiring.😊😊🙏🙏
Thank you so much Karan 😀
new subscriber Living In New York. I'm From El Salvador. Thanks For Visiting My Country.
Que lugar tan majestuoso.
Wat een beklimming om boven te geraken. Jullie hebben dat goed gedaan Kim en Naick. Mooi die vulkaan met het meer erin. Jullie mogen fier zijn dat jullie dat gedaan hebben. Veilige terugkomst naar Belgie. Amuseer jullie nog. Bedankt voor jullie mooie video's. Jullie zijn een sympatiek koppel. Fijne avond, groeten, Gilberte
Good video guys thank u for visit our country El Salvador 🇸🇻..🙏
Beautiful 😍 thank you for visiting my country 🇸🇻
Good morning guys . Enjoy . 💯💯💯💯💯
Morning Daniel! Have a good one :)
Kim's face when Naick first mentioned ice cream :) :) :) (and any flavor is good, but after that hike, think I'd have gone with mango) Looking forward to the big reveal.
Haha yes the mention of ice cream made me go faster on the last bit haha. Next video will be the big reveal 😉😉
@@NaickKim I have a guess which one you chose. Of course my odds were 33.3% :)
Love you guys. Look forward to hearing your next adventure plans 🌎
YESSSS soon 😊 next video actually! :)
Thank you so much for doing this video, since we can't do something like this, I am very happy to see that i can watch it on youtube while laughing and enjoying the climb up the volcano
Beautiful video, really nice experience guys, thanks for showing us how nice is the volcano
火山很壯觀！真美！
真是太神奇了！ 非常值得攀登😍
Great vlog… Kim’s face matching her top 😂poor thing
That’s the kinda of stuffs I wanna experience in my travels…
raw experiences cozy hotels 😂
Loved the volcano what a beauty and you have done so well climbing post covid 👏🏼
Can’t wait for the rest
Bisous sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
My face matching my top omg ain't that the truth 🤣 and sweating buckets too haha. We really loved the experience overall though. Love that feeling of achievement once you finish a hike like this 😊😊
@@NaickKim 💯
Hi, Loved the music over the volcano part ...PERFECTO!!
That is nice that you liked it, we spent a lot of time looking for something that got it just right ;)
Aww 🥰🥰 thank you for sharing ( but the old bus 🥺😂)
Yes the old bus 🤣🤣 the oldest one we have seen in El Salvador so far haha!
@@NaickKim 😂😂😂
Fantastic video, I can’t wait to experience those views myself. I’m travelling to El Salvador next week - did you guys do a tour to hike the volcano? Or just show up and pay for the guide? Also do Ubers go up there and back?
Just do exactly as we did in the video. Take the 7:30 am chicken bus there, stop off at hostel El Tibet (the bus driver will yell 'volcan' so you know to get off) and wait there with the other people, guides will come there. I think you can take an Uber there but you won't be able to catch an Uber back as there are non hanging around there
Nice Couple
Keep enjoying life
This volcano hike is kind of a metaphor for a TH-cam channel, a labor of love that's often a challenge but there's always a payoff for those who stay focused:) Absolutely stunning views at the top! Love those drone shots. Would be great if you can show what it's like using botcoin in one of the first Bitcoin nations. We're hoping Salvador is on our 2022 bucket list destination. Keep the Faith and stay safe guys:)
Blessings, James and Kim ❤️
You're right on the metaphor ☺️ if you really want it, volcano hike 🌋 or TH-cam 📸 you can get it 💪🏻 we're gonna try to pay in Bitcoin next but we can't get the local app it seems (Chivo) as they told us it is only available to residents. So still looking into it ☺️
Nice videos thanks for visiting our country Im glad you enjoyed it. I was born raised in El Salvador now i live in USA, just came back from vacation visited Brussels a few days, a good college friend lives there, she works for NATO, During my vaction I also spend a few days in Amsterdam and the French Riviera most of the time. Your country Belgium is beautiful love the architecture im planning to go back later this year to visit more cities.i love old castles and chruches- Which cities do you most recommend ?
Wow wow you guys are Soooooo entertaining 😂 and funny.
I will subscribe to your Chanel right now because you are visiting my hometown.❤🙏🏽
Romantic and epic hiking!
It was so cool!
I am surprised how busy it was! New.to your channel and really like.your spirit.
Thank you so much, welcome Deanna! 😉 we were surprised how busy it was too. Fortunately the crater is massive so it did not take away from the views up there!
stunning carter at the top wow those drone shots are solid. Your videos never fail to put a smile on my face :-)
That is wonderful to hear! Glad you like them! 🥰
很漂亮的風景.....
Wat een leuke video's uit El Salvador! Ik had echt geen idee wat ik me er moest bij voorstellen. Jullie zeggen dat jullie niet 'in shape' zijn, maar jongens toch, jullie doen dat toch maar goed volgens mij, rekening houdend met het feit dat je dan ook nog eens corona onlangs had! KNAP!!
Dank je Ellen, dat is ook wel waar natuurlijk :) blij dat je de video's uit El Salvador leuk vindt! Wij vinden het echt super hier, het is hier zowat minder toeristisch en dat geeft wel een avontuurlijk gevoel en zo'n beetje meer 'sense of wonder' zeg maar. Echt leuk!
My two favorite (and tallest) hobbits truly did make a visit to Mordor! But you forgot THE ring? Dang it!
Haha tallest hobbits 🤣 we'll have to climb another volcano and toss the ring in there then 🤪
Love you 2 guys..I think you do a wonderful job and compliment each other so very well..
Thank you so much Lorraine! 😍😍
@@NaickKim Your answer just proves my point-you are both just so honest and wonderful--love you guys..
@@lorrainehansen9770 thank you Lorraine for watching, we are happy to have you join the adventures :)
The end was funny jajjajaa you are very nice.
Eating an ice cream on the top of the vulcano wow 🤩 by the way my favourite should be passion fruit or Peanut butter ☺️
Oh good choice! I wonder how those two flavors would taste together haha :D
@@NaickKim mmmm let’s try it 😊
@@khunmasturzo7771 that's the spirit ;)
You guys are funny make me laugh so much.
Beautiful
Great video!
Zo benieuwd naar jullie nieuwe plannen! Can't wait! 😁
Jaaaa gaat leuk worden! Volgende video vertellen we er wat meer over 😊😊
Norway is a great place to start 😉
We'd love to take our van to Norway! For the summer solstice 😍😍
Remember you just got over Covid so that was hard for your breathing also. . Great vidoe
Yes also true Carolyn :) the good thing is that if I can do this hike at a reasonably normal pace and at altitude with zero acclimatization, then at least I am in the clear for not having long covid 🤗 which initially, in Mexico City, I was not so sure of 😉
it was so nice to watch your video, got me memories from 1979 when we did climb that very same route with my fellow junior high students, of course, it wasn't as nice as it is now but we didn't have to pay because it was open land to anyone.
I'd love to meet you guys when you are back in Belgium and hear more about your ES travel! I live in Brussels. Let me know...
Yes, that would be so nice! We are actually thinking of maybe doing a meetup for people in Belgium :)
@@NaickKim Queremos video de esa reunión contando sus experiencias :D
Pretty nice guys. Did Stromboli once, that was fairly exciting and a mofo walk.
I didn't know you could go up Stromboli as well, so cool! Must have been quite the experience :)
Oooh really fun but scary 😨 😅😁
So worth it 😉
Hiking a volcano is tough! We hiked up Mount Fuji and we nearly died...
Mount Fuji? So cool! We'd love to visit Japan too 😍 how did you like it?
@@NaickKim It was very, very difficult. You cannot imagine. 8 hours up. 6 hours down. You can overnight at the top but only in an open room with 20 sweaty people snoring away... plus you can't camp. You can't pee anywhere (because Fuji-san is a deity in Japanese folklore) and you have to pay each time you do at each check point. It's tough. It's a volcano so the ground is made up of millions of little rocks... THE VIEW AT THE TOP IS AMAZING THOUGH!!!
@@NaickKim If you ever go to Japan, please let me know. I have a ton of tips for you guys!
💙
Long time no see.I hope you are all well.
We are doing great, how about you? :)
@@NaickKim fine…I wish you a safe journey
👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Thomas! Thanks for tuning in again 😊
I am curious about what will be your next plan of 2022?
We'll tell you more in the next video!! :)
Well done! We are going to Hawaii in June and staying at the top of the volcano on the big island. Great footage of the lake!
You are staying at the top of a volcano?! How cool is that! Is it active too? 😮 enjoy!
@@NaickKim yes, there is a military camp/cabins at the top. My husband is retired Air Force.
@@apriltalley9514 That is so cool! :) so it is only possible for (previous) military? :)
@@NaickKim yes only military and maybe government family, retired military too.
@@apriltalley9514 ok we're gonna need you to adopt us then for your trip to Hawaii because that just sounds too cool 🤣
Se ve cansada pero que buena actitud
When are you going to Brazil?
We don't know yet! :) we'd love to visit though 🥰🥰
ironic y'all were visited El Salvador where cacao originated lol
You know that visiting an active volcano should be the last entry on your bucket list, right?
Only if you plan on diving into the lava or crater lake 😉
Is not "people with big guns", is security people with big guns, what govement don't want (for now) is regular people with big guns. Believe me you were secure with police and soldiers around you. This will be a process, meanwhile salvadoran people that lives every day in San Salvador and around feel secure this way.
:)
Hope you liked it Jon! :)
@@NaickKim Always! :)
You will never be able to enjoy the view from the top of a volcano if you do not climb it, only those who make an effort will be able to see in person the lagoon in the crater of the Santa Ana Volcano🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
Ahora vengan a Mi Guatemala 😅🤗
Los volcanes que le recomiendo que suba y es bonito
1.volcan de Upala es pequeño y fácil de subir hay una. Laguna y cabañas para acampar.
2. Volcán de agua, allí si debe. Llevar su carpa para acampar. Uno de los volcanes medio alto pero se puede caminar.
3. Volcán de tajumulco. Tiene que estar bien de salud y hacer mucho ejercicio para poder subir ese volcán debe tener buena condición física.
Es el volcán. Más alto del mundo y se puede acampar en cráter del cvolcan se lo recomendarían yo ya lo subí y es hermosa la experiencia 👌🤗
Recuerda que cuando vengan a Guatemala debe conseguir un guía para que los lleve y los regrese sanos. Y salvo.
Saludos cordiales y bienvenidos a nuestro país 🤗
Visitamos Guatemala en 2019! Pero nos encantaría volver :) gracias por los consejos. Y Acatenango, esta bien?
@@NaickKim si es muy lindo volcán, hermosa experiencia pero aves se activa tener mucho cuidado
Con ese volcán que menciono más el volcán de fuego en pero está activo, ha caído mucho seniza en estos últimos dos años.
I was in ES march 26 to april 5 . I stayed in the same hostel, same room as you guys. lol. Even after those attacks , ES was amazing . just lots of police around. Sadly i hiked up the volcano but it never cleared :(. Thank you for the amazing video of it so at least i know what i was missing!
