- A snow fight, fishing mussels, a sandy bite, colourful churches, rubber boots, a salmon farm and adorable hosts: this week we visit the unique island of Chiloe.
Last week we travelled through the Lake District with our good friend Tom. But it was time to say goodbye to Tom just after crossing the border in Chile and head toward a fascinating island off the coast of Chile in the Pacific Ocean: Chiloé. it was the last bastion of the Spanish even 8 years after the country declared its independence. You will see it is worth the discovery.
Do not forget to subscribe to the channel, next week we show you a special episode with more day to day living on the road back to Argentina.
Until next week, take care!
Nick & Mathilde

You guys are so bold & intentionally you drive on mudy road! Fun, Fun!
Forever onward! Nice island. So much like Alaska.
Ha there is some of this it is true 😍
What an awesome episode, thanks for taking us with you, i love how you accept invitations and really enjoy learning about where you are.
happy you liked it !!! thank you for these kind words
Next time you harvest muscles. Store them in clean fresh salt water for a few hours before preparation and the sand and such will filter out. They are filter feeders and this will result in a sand free experience.
Sea water, or make your own??
Thanks for the info! we thought we had to leave them in their sea water!
hello, very nice to meet you both..i enjoy this video and such fresh adventures---thank you--deatra
thank you ! it was a fun visit
Great fun.
it was a good time!
OMG..Despite the audio problems in the beginning..What a beautiful place and Mathilde cooking in the rain and saying.."IT was NOT planned" What a trouper..
yes cable broke again... hopefully we found better quality cable that work better
🎉🎉🎉❤
You've put Chiloe on my places to go list. Many similarities to Bruny Island in Tasmania, I think you would enjoy going there when you get over my side of the world.
oooh interesting! we can't wait to possibly discover Tasmania
Watching you eat the mussels, made me want to have some for dinner....one of my favorites. Not sure how much rain I could handle on a vacation. As much as we have traveled, we've been very fortunate to not encounter it too often. Tom's family visiting him in Chile is a nice gesture. Looking forward to the next video.
hahaha yes that was a lot of rain but it is alright because we did not have a lot of rain the past months so we can tolerate it more
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much Oneluvbj ... that is an incredible support to our expedition and we will make good use of it. Take care and thank you again.
Beautiful video
thank you Antonio!
What a nice Vlog! I found it looking for some Chiloé videos to show people that where I come from isn't warm and dry 😅. Cheers from Brussels!
Hahhahahaah perfect then ! That s about the climate we got but people from Brussels won’t be chocked it s their climate
I am so in love with your channel. I can't wait until your next episode....but, you know, I will endure. All The Best!
thank you very much! this kind of message is super motivating
Black-necked Swans were gorgeous. The Peruvian Pelicans look like our Brown Pelicans up her in North America. That looked like a flock of Flying Steamer Duck you got up. And I noticed on eBird database how the penguins are there right now.
yes did you notice how the swan were carrying their babies on the back? Those ducks were so funny :)
Trying to get more birds in!
@@NextMeridianExpedition Yes, that was so charming. I wondered how old they were. It's so twisted when the breeding seasons are on the bottom of the world.
Love this Island...rain, not so much! Reminds me so much of where i live! We had a day like that yesterday. You made the best of 🌧🌧🌧
yes we made the best of this!
Beautiful video, thank you for taking us in your adventures. Enjoy 😉
thank you for watching! it was a nice week!
You should have got a hold of some wild caught shrimp or scallops. When you get to Argentina look for the wild caught Argentinian shrimp they're really good. I eat them all the time we get them here in the United States and they are good quality. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
oooh we will think about that. we have not much experience with sea fishing so we need to learn it all hahahah
Awesome! Not a fan of cold and wet together but it looked too be a grate time. Really cool too see Tom’s hole family came to see him. I know you don’t have much space for much but have you seen those winch anchors? They look too be a handy tool when your in the middle of nowhere with no help.
ooh ! will look it up. but yes we are pretty limited on space
Hello and good day!
It was so nice to see Tom's Family coming to visit him❤️
Wonderful video once again. You went from snow to sea! Thank you for taking the time to make such quality footage. Bravo🥂🍻👏👏👏👍✌️
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Yes it was brilliant to have tom s family around
Amazing travels 👍👍
Glad you like them!
Howdy Penguin People! The Albies morph into tuxedos for awhile! Another wonderful show…Chile looks very Euro to me..love your spirit of adventure and look forward to every new surprise that you bring! Saddle up n ride on! ❤
yes Chile looks very different from the last countries we were in. saddle up!
Looks like a great place to live 😊. Can't really stand hot climate, and it's late spring down there, so 👍. But slim chances of ever getting there actually
It really is! the culture is so interesting too
NGL I'm here for Mathilde's French accent.
Wow, so much of Chile and Chiloe look similar to Northern Michigan -- the houses, the plant life, the weather, the vibe. Several times during this week's video I found myself going "hey, that looks like "up North." Notwithstanding the breathtakingly rugged, mountainous coasts, which remind me more of the Oregon coast. Still, this place 6,000 miles away makes me homesick for a place that's only 3 hours away from me by car.
that is so interesting! also how those places developed in similar ways because the outside conditions creates similar habitats and culture development even on another continent etc...
Is Tom documenting his own adventures? If yes, please post the link. He seems like a great guy and I’d like to support him also by watching his content. If you have posted it, I can’t find it.
you can follow tom on Instagram @touring_tom he does not have a CZcams channel
Beautiful. How nice to Have met Alan and Carola! Tom looks very happy with his family visit 😊 stay safe 🥰👋
yes great people! tom has a super family we are super happy for him!
Super awesome video. Adventure's galore. Absolutely gorgeous country. The flowers were spectacular. 🌹😁😎
thank you! yes the flowers were so special!
The best trips happen unplanned! the mussels and time with friends in Chiloe made it all worth it!
exactly !
@@NextMeridianExpedition you guys are awesome! I love your videos and comments! I can't wait for your Antartican adventure!
Awesome video as always Nick and Matilda. The island was so awesome and amazing it's always good eating when you can eat fresh seafood. And the best part of y'all's journey around the world is meeting all the Land Rover Defender owners and their rigs.
So true! we are very lucky to meet so many nice people through the Land Rover community
Bonjour je suis curieux de savoir pourquoi vous faites tout vos commentaires en anglais? Vous êtes français.
@@nellyligeon6784 je suis 100% française Nicolas est franco italien mais sa première langue est l’anglais il a grandit dans des écoles américaines à l étranger. Nous parlons la majorité du temps anglais entre nous et comes nos familles et amis ne parlent pas tous les mêmes langues l anglais nous permet de communiquer avec tout le monde quand nous avons commencé. Puis la chaîne a grandit et nous avons continué
Your adventures are still Superior over everybody else's. Looking forward to next week's video. Take care! ✌🏻
thank you Jeff!
Never heard of Chiloe before. What a beautiful island. It reminded me a little bit of Scotland - beautiful but sure to rain anytime you step outside. Glad you survived the mussels, and I'm sure Antarctica will make up for the missing penguins.
yes it looks a lot like Northern Europe! yes exactly we felt better about not finding them
Amazing how far you have reached, and it has been good you have encountered nice people along the way
❤❤
yes people are absolutely amazing and we are very lucky to receive those invitations
This was a great video. So interesting about the salmon being such a big part of the economy. Do you know if Chiloé is always rainy and cold or does it get warm and sunny in the summer? Being so lush and green you know it gets a lot of rain. That was so great to see Tom's family come to see him and you were able to get to know them. Will you meet up with him again soon? Does he have instagram to follow him?
Hi Kristen, it does get warmer yes but remain a rather rainy place from its geolocation!
You can follow Tom on instagram at @touring_tom :) he takes beautiful pictures
Lucky guys, Chiloé Islands are our best chilean secret and you are right , landscapes and people from there, are very different, because for many years they live insolate to the continental Chile. Hyundai are building a hug bridge
Lucky routes, wherever you go
it was absolutely charming we loved it !!!
Another great adventure …thanks for sharing
thank you for watching !
Cool island visit! Am very excited to see Antarctica! Wow!
oooh you will love Antarctica !!!
Coastal chili looks super nice and some of it appears to be westernized. I was surprised to find out that 90% of the people in Chile are actually of European descent. And only 10% of indigenous population are left. Some of it actually reminds me of parts of coastal New England even though New England is much nicer with much nicer houses and infrastructure there's a similarity. 👍🏻👍🏻❤🙏🏻
yes we mix up much more in the population contrarily to other countries. people cannot immediately spot we are foreigners.
Awesome two of my favorite thinks is sea kayaking and over-landing in a Land Rover defender . ( my hobby is making cedar strip sea kayaks and canoes .) was awesome seeing you two out enjoying the kayaking . Very enjoyable video again. Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures with us all your over landing friends . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌎🍻👍🏼😁
oh wow Steve! that s an amazing hobby ! would love to see those one day.
@@NextMeridianExpedition .👍🏼😁
Thanks guys for another great video! Stay safe!!
thank you Libby!
♥Another Great Video … from this channel | Zahra & Paul @twoheadnorth … "Australia to Iceland Overland"
thank you guys!
Wasn't Tom a lucky boy, his whole family coming to see him.
yes that's amazing that the entire family managed to gather
Very interesting guys, 💑the rainy island could have been Washington State or BC. Looks like one of many small Native American villages on the coast. It is different but the same. If you like rain, ⛈ferry boats 🚢 and good seafood,🍤🍤you like them. Thanks for sharing you are the best travel channel on CZcams.🏆🏆 Best of luck in Antarctica. Cheers 🦪🦪👨🍳
yes it is a part of BC we would like to go back to. we did not spend much time there and it looks fascinating
😃 ❣️
I really like your videos! But one of your Microphones just records on the left channel. This is annyoing when you watch the videos with headphones. It's mostly when you hold the camera a front of you and speak to it. At the beginning or 4:35 and 6:10 for example. Maybe it's a cable issue? If you can't fix it, maybe you could fix it in the cutting process?
yes... cable issue sorry for that. we have struggled to find quality replacement for our original cable that broke in Argentina. so we used lower quality ones that are so unreliable... we replaced again and will try to make sure that does not happen again hopefully we get new good ones soon soon
I am just wondering when you plan to be in Australia? I would like to extend an invitation to you to visit the NE mountain region of Victoria. We live and farm not far from the tourist town of Bright and we are fellow Land Rover owners.I hope you visit.
Hi Bruce, thank you so much for your kind invitation. we are planning to arrive in Australia next year around June. We are not sure yet of our itinerary, but if you accept could you leave us an email so we have your contact when we arrive and have a better idea of our route we can reach out again? you can reach us at: nextmeridian.expedition@gmail.com Thank you again for your generous invitation.
Does kiwi Tom have a channel or website?
I think he needs one or a link
hi Mark! Tom has no channel or website. but he has an instagram. @touring_tom
🙏👍👌❤️

Ir you want to see pengüins you shoul go to Argentina.

Shiloh (/ˈʃaɪloʊ/, Hebrew: שִׁלוֹ, שִׁילֹה, שִׁלֹה, and שִׁילוֹ) is an ancient city in Samaria mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament. It is believed to be the city of Khirbet Silun or Tel Shilo, located in the West Bank, to the west of the modern Israeli settlement town of Shilo and to the north of the Palestinian town of Turmus Aya. It is also located south of Labouneh, 10 miles (16 km) north of Beit El
oooh interesting !!!
naja... so ⁵⁰/⁵⁰ - hab das Gefühl das der Modus oft a bissl fake ist 🙄
Maybe it's a language interpretation...fake mode or mood? Regardless...Mathilde and Nick are amazing humans and definitely are not fake. Gotta defend my peeps!❤
@@terrahmama OK - says the 3rd person? Maybe it's the language
hahahah thanks so much! that goes straight to our heart! Long life to real people hahahah
@@NextMeridianExpedition one day we shall meet!
@@terrahmama one day for sure. Where are you located ?
