Today's technology and publishing channels is amazing. But it's also amazing you can frame it, shoot, edit and publish an entire program in 7 days. One single lady is educating and entertaining millions of people. The power of one. So impressive. Well done Eva. You inspire me. David from Houston.

    I really liked your answer about how you had to go through a rock-bottom crisis to make the changes which now support your new life. Same story for me. If someone had told me 6 years ago (when I was at rock bottom) that I would be travelling the world full time for several years now with no end in sight, and that I would be so so happy, I personally wouldn't have believed them. I went through a cancer battle (which I obviously won) a gambling addiction, divorce, death of both parents and job loss, house loss and huge debt. All now dealt with and in the past forever. My message is the same as yours - never give up and you sometimes have to go through a series of crisis to make the changes required to live life on your terms. Keep up the great work - excellent videos and inspiration.

      @port nut I get it. It takes a special person to be told to go away for a while and not take it personally. My daughter is nearly my carbon copy and she found the needle in a hay stack with enough self confidence and understanding to give her space when she asks. He’s the type of person who loves her enough to understand. He learned early when she starts to tell him about an issue she has with something or someone he stops her as she begins and asks, “Am I problem solving or just listening?”. F-ing brilliant! Wish I figured that out earlier in life. 😁

Making the now the long now is, finally, peaceful.

If you think the Louisiana bayou, the Navajo reservation, West Hollywood, Kodiak Island, Maui, Puerto Rico, Lancaster County, El Paso, Amarillo, Brooklyn, and Nashville aren't at least as distinctly different as Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, then I don't know what to say.

I have found that some people just genuinely get pleasure from sharing things they enjoy with other people through these social platforms. And they have also become a source of happy uplifting energy and even helpful information during these crazy times. There is good and bad in most things and choosing to only focus on the negative will only make you miserable. Different things make different people happy and as long as they're not hurting anyone what's the point in judging them

      I completely understand you. I had the same issues as you. I had what appeared to be on the outside a 'perfect life.' One day everthing came crashing down and I was forced to make a huge change. I was constantly looking elsewhere for the answers as to why I was unhappy. I had to do a lot of inner work and a lot of soul searching. I now practice yoga, reiki and meditation on a daily basis and found this has helped me a lot. I suffered from depression and anxiety and was on medication. I'm in a much better place now and the meditation in particular has helped enormously and my anxiety has gone. I still have challenging days. I find that taking walks in mother nature and listening to uplifting music and eating a healthy diet also helps. I was also in a job that I hated so I left my job as it was causing me health problems. I hope this may be of some help to you. Sending you love, light and healing. 🙏🙏💜💜✨✨

      It is one's choice to accept or reject family and children. If someone says no to the child he must have found a way to achieve greater happiness than that. Further completion must have occurred to him. If so that is correct.

    Eva traveled more in this video to answer questions than I have in the last six years lol Due to my anxiety and my autoimmune condition, I don't go more than an hour from home. I have genuine fear of being away from home as well as a fear of having symptoms and getting really sick away from home. I just recently found this channel and I very much appreciate seeing the world through Eva. Her honesty is refreshing and I like that she doesn't sugar coat the trials and challenges of traveling.

You are the person my heart longs to be, but I don’t have the strength of spirit you have to make it a reality (also, I couldn’t live without my cats, lol). You shared so much valuable insight here, and I really appreciate it. If I ever find it in me to pursue the life I truly dream of, I will take lots of your thoughts to heart - and in truth, many of them are valuable to less free-spirited souls too (like yours and Mike’s relationship insight). Thanks for all the great content, and for all this info too. You are a joy to virtually travel with.

    I grew up in the woods of Kentucky, admiring the stories of Daniel Boone. By 5-6 I knew every trail, and made my own, and where they led to for miles around. You're the girl I always wanted to meet and share exploring the world. Unfortunately, I now have a daughter about your age, so I would just have to adopt you. But she has the same aspirations and I just retired, so we are talking about doing so. Most people only dream of traveling, but it doesn't happen until they start like you have.
    I like the way you are doing it, it's pure and simple. Global warming doesn't seem to deter you. Keep going until you are satisfied. The naysayers are just too afraid. Never let them hold you back. It's not a life unless you live it.

      Because more people can be open about their desire to have kids or not. Right now it is expected for women and everyone who can get pregnant, to have kids later on. Some day you'll change your mind, you haven't found the right person yet, things I have heard since I was 20 years old. I got even jobs denied for the fact that I am a woman in my late twenties due tot the fact that I was applying in a men dominated field, which I was like?! what? Are you serious? You rather give the position to someone who hasn't the same qualifiactions based on that I am a woman and you don't believe that I don't want children? So yes this is good. It should be more common that also women don't want chidlren. We exist too.

      It's incredible how much pressure there is to follow the "standard". I am 38 now and I knew I don't want to have children since... forever. Still, for some 20+ years I had to listen to "you will change your mind", "you don't know what you are talking about", "the biological clock is ticking" and all this bs, I had to fight with my parents, with my co-workers, with my friends, being considered crazy and with no emotions ;) Finally they gave up :D I guess at this age asking me for the children would be considered really impolite or insensitive so luckily nobody does it anymore. Funny enough, many of my friends, with children, are confessing to me that "omg, if I knew how hard it is, I'd never would decide for children".

I was very close to leaving my friends behind because I couldn’t handle the stress anymore. Then said resident left and the situation relaxed immediately! I was so freaking relieved! Only to find out earlier this year that the whole community is leaving for Costa Rica in a few month. But I really don’t want to leave Europe and my family here. And don’t have anywhere else to go.

    Completely agree with your sentiment on counting countries. It seems like a very superficial take on traveling that does completely neglect what it is all about: to just go out, discover, and have a good time. You can do that for a lifetime in a single country, like Australia or Canada, or cruise around all of Europe for a couple of weeks. What really matters, to me, are the memories you make along the way. Great Q&A in general, I can relate to so many things you said :)
