- The intro was epic. If you can spend $20 in Tulum, y’all did great. The butt sweat was so funny that totally soaked the spot you sat on. BTW…when you mentioned after your nap and Pavarti giggled…must be hanky-panky off camera…lol. Enjoying your vlog! 👍
- This was actually good. Keep up and eventually the YouTube algo will kick in. Surprisingly I watched the whole thing
- Can you imagine Kevin ever doing a video like $200 a day in X location. The Universe will probably end that exact day 🤣
- In a world where the people have an inherent urge to spend huge money to have fun, you do it in the right way. That’s the real essence of travel in my opinion.
- This series is so great, Kevin and I’m so happy that it’s back! Keep ’em coming! 🙂
- You guys are a great team. And the freaking hitchhiking YEEEESSSSS!
- Thank you Kevin, A few days ago I commented on a video you uploaded “I miss the $20 series”. You replied “Stay tuned the series is back soon”. I knew the Monkey would deliver his promise!
- Kevin, that is awesome that you can not only speak fluent Mandarin Chinese but also know Spanish as well. It is good that you are diverse, and embrace other cultures and languages since not only are you being respectful by doing so, it also brings people together.
- From China to Mexico, Monkey Abroad is alway fun to watch. I hope we’ll meet you in one of the Mexican cities one day. I’ll make sure to buy you a beer
- Are you kidding me??!!! This was FANTASTIC!! So many little parts that made me actually LOL. Meditating, looking over at Parvi with one eye…we’ve all done that! The butt sweat…ugh, too many times to count. The music, editing, including locals, along with travelers, the food but the hitchhiking?? Although they looked very nice, so did Ted Bundy. Don’t let your mamma know you did that. 🙂 Oh, loved Parvi’s outfit. You two are a great team and look forward to the next one.
