Great videos! You have a pretty good spanish, and that's why I wanted to note that its not "zoCAlo", its "ZÓcalo" (strong emphasis in the first syllable). Not trying to nag, just help you get even better :)

[MrElconguero3]

I AM FROM OAXACA :) YEHEEEE! SWEET PEOPLE AND HAPPY, YOU GUYS ALLWAYS B WELCOME TO THIS STATE GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.

[mncreek]

did your camera man or girl friend speak spanish? you should have been fine through baja, and Guadalajara has many english speakers, but i would imagine complications arising as you got in deeper into mexico. Good videos, I've been meaning to do this, but i do not have the motivation, but perhaps i'll catch a ride down there soon.

[lobito0010]

:) im from oaxaca..

[mistadabolina2495]

[yoursofakingstewpit]

EFFF OFF HOTWIRE ...

[fashonthem]

Just saw your Mazatlan vid and I envy you lol my father's from Sinaloa and I've never had the pleasure of visiting. I recently took a trip to Puebla/Veracruz and loved it! Being from LA/Mexican-American I thought “Ah I know the Mexican culture pretty well” but it’s not till you’re there that you’re like “Hmm this isn't like they do it in LA...” lol Hope one day I can visit Mazatlan and have as much fun as you did! Peace and best of luck on you're future trips.

[pdrop]

@pokechopped Oaxaca is not only a city, it's a state. Next episode is Puerto Escondido which is considered to be part of the Oaxaca state. Way to do some research before leaving a lame comment.

Thanks for watching buddy!

[pokechopped]

@pdrop

Sorry, the map in your own "video" indicates you stopped in the City of Oaxaca (or as you point out; WA HA KA(!!) ), see 0:32. You also refer to Oaxaca City.

Right on, "braugh"!

zzz.

[babygyrlkatara]

@pokechopped look just stop being a troll. really.

[discjokepiro]

i hope u enjoy the time on my town great!!! video

[Mycatispossesed]

This is awesome! im LDS (mormon) and im going on my mission there in about 2 weeks.

[calddany612]

Did you get a chance to go to Costa Chica? I heard that's where most of the Afro-Mexicans live besides Veracruz.

[pdrop]

@calddany612 No, I did not get the chance to go to Costa Chica. Next time, when I have more time I will check it out :) Thanks.

[greenally]

[durtymacd]

[BellTinker1985]

Arriba Oaxaca ke de ahí soy yo

[daisylinville]

ha! if ur gonna make a video, at least pronounce the names right. its not "Zo-CAH-Lo"........it's ..."ZOcalo".

[TheMexican760]

One of the most best places to be in Mexico,if you know where to go..the only thing that sucks is the 6 hour ride from Mexico city

[92252290]

hahah zo KAALO . i loved the way you said it. i love oaxaca.<33

[rodomdza]

VIVA OAXACA!!!!!!!!!!

[Coles109]

You should go to Jalisco, Mexico more often. to Tala, Ameca, Cuisillos, etc..

Thats where I used to live.

[POLACAmm]

ole hahaha lol

[rconteb]

i wanted to ask you if you remember where you bought the bus tickets to oaxaca, i was in mexico city 2 weeks ago and i remembered during som spare time, this video about oaxaca being so close and cheap, i went once to puerto escondido and huatuclo and ever since ive been wanting to go back. so i went to the buss station but they told me it cost 400 pesos min.

there are 4 main stations south, north center and east i think... do you remember the company?

thanks man keep having fun!

[pdrop]

@rconteb I purchased the ticket at the Tapo Bus Terminal for 388 pesos. I think that's the east one, but not 100% Keep in mind, the trip is delayed and the exchange rate fluctuated. So what could've been cheap for me, could now be a bit pricier. Hope this helps.

[pdrop]

@rconteb Let me double check my receipts and notebooks. I may have messed up on this one somewhere on my files or calculations. sorry for the confusion.

[JosephKrammer]

@rconteb ADO [Autobuses de Oriente] The best of the best ;)

[fullmetalalchemist55]

haha you really got a tan XD

[dii4n4ldt]

take your hands and everyone go to the beach now!!! eso estuvo gracioso..

[TravisZabelNation]

Hey guys, im trying something new and could use some feedback on how to improve, go check it out! Thanks!

[xforbiddenxkissx]

Could your girlfriend please make a video about how to make it easier for a female to travel. as in clothes, money, or any special tips? I assume it may be differ for a girl to travel. Your videos are amazing. I accidently stumbled across them and am hooked. I am from Mexico myself, and its a good feeling to see others enjoy its beautiful riches as well.

[CHACH208]

Ah man you should have stop in Pachuca Hidalgo this is the city in which soccer started in Mexico is also known as the windy city and has alot of rich culture

[Johndegavina]

Dude you're proving the world that some americans don't fear the unknown. Great roadtrip! I'm from Portugal and traveled from mexico city all the way down to chetumal, but it was by car. Would love to a trip like yours.

[mirandasyardsale]

Nice Videos !! Keep it Up!!! Don't listen to the people giving you bad vibes..

-Bryan

[TheBoxita1]

lovely lovely wow!! nice video nice work love it!!

[headacherack]

I like your clips very well,,,and they are put together very well. Did you have to get a passport to walk into Mexico. We had thought about going with the airsteam, but were afraid of the people and running into un-known territory.

[MrShankster1]

@pdrop- Your helping me out a ton. I'm leaving the snow skiing behind in SLC to the warm weather in Chitre, Panama in a couple of weeks. Your my tour guide. I'm hoping to see all the episodes before I leave. Keep up the great work!

[91mgd]

The vid is great! But there's much more to do in Oaxaca, really. Try this 3 min. promotional of Oaxaca made for the 200 independence celebration. Shows just some of the places of the state in a very artistic manner.

watch?v=qUcOjN4gRKw

Maybe you could try them in some other trip.

[ariboreal]

yesterday i dreamt that this guy came to my city lol

[TariGTOmex]

I think these videos are great and I admire your courage. The best way to learn spanish is to speak to the natives not stuck in some class room.Keep it up carnal.

[giorgioglez]

love ur videos

[reubenbasic]

hi Peter. Does Portable Darwin do that intro music clip to these videos? I'm curious cause I couldn't find that clip on their website. Thanks a lot. Great work!

[pdrop]

@reubenbasic hey, the intro sequence to the videos is not Portable Darwin. It's called Purple and Orange by Welder.

[blankone87]

enjoy the composition of your videos but i would sure enjoy a little more content of the places. lookin forward to the next video.

[mperalta901383]

Make sure you all stay safe! I love your vids!!

[iselalala]

cant these videos be longer? i wanna see moreeeeeee

[clmbn05]

I'm really liking these vids. i wish i had the money, age, and time to do this. keep them going cause I've been wanting to go to Mexico for a while and seeing these vids just makes me want to go more. I'm surprised you don't have a lot of views, YOU NEED MORE!

[Archeat2k]

Hey fellow traveler! Just recently found your videos and they're great. I traveled from Argentina all the way up to Costa Rica in a time span of 5 months. I completed it in the summer of '09 and also did it all on a budget, all bus transport, hostels, cheap food, etc. It was one of my dreams to do that journey and I'm going to keep traveling in the same fashion soon.

[775evelyn]

you should go to ameca jalisco its the best!

[rafael55]

Thats terrible that you are is such a incredible city and don't know what to do or where to go. If you do your homework and read a little you could do several episodes on just Oaxaca and vicinity and they would be very interesting!!!! Maybe even learns basic spanish and you could pronounce zocalo right.

No need to keep watching your videos if there is nothing much in them.

[pdrop]

@rafael55 very well, sorry that you'll no longer be watching. For the record, we do read about places before we visit. Nothing grabbed our attention, so we decided to move on. As for taking a basic spanish class, I would rather spend my money elsewhere. Thanks, have a good one.

[sokker80ii]

@pdrop LOL, You got that got that guy rafael55 good!

And great Chanel. Just one more thing; Can you make the videos a little longer? If not, then  that's OK. I'll still keep watching your videos.

[thatesedog805]

@pdrop thats why u folks get jacked n riped off shit there is muchhh wayyy cheaper but when they see travelers like ur self they change the priceing

[Schmidhofer]

@rafael55 You are so right! Peter, I was just there last week ... didn´t you notice the artistic movement going on in Oaxaca? There are tons of young artists getting together to open up art gallaries. Did you go to the market and see how chocolate is made? Did you try mezcal? Did you eat anything else besides tacos??

Oaxaca is one of Mexico´s poorest states but one of the richest when it comes to culture... please do your homework :)

[alecaf89]

what a great idea man.

[TwilightMammy]

I hope u go to Veracruz its the most beautiful state LOL

[L3Traveler]

let's have more Patty , less you!

[Ampex101]

Hmm the only real complaint i have on most of your videos are that they are too short,one would expect there would be way more raw material considering how long you travel and what you see.

Sorta get left whit and then? What happened hello?

Ive watched all your videos sofar and the Scoot video was the one that left me clueless on certain parts like yeah what happened?

Anyways like the work you've done sofar it's all good.

Peace.

[ACTORDAVIDTRAN]

What ethnicity is Patty? She looks likes she's a Filipino-Native American and Hispanic mix.

Was that her in the bikini at the end? Dayum.

[pdrop]

@ACTORDAVIDTRAN Patty is Filipino.

[Giean360]

@pdrop nah, she's a Filipina. hahaha

[alexsf23]

Pedro!!! (Peter) my friend!! your videos are so awesome and motivating,one of my life goals is to go from the bay area or California to the tip of Chile, are you in?????

[uberster]

hahaha, somebody ask about the shower thingy, so now he show a clip of him showering....good job man, hope to see more.

[Parlancheq]

Bolivian/Peruvian music in Oaxaca!?  Sweet. BTW, love your videos.

[DMR612]

Love this series. Keep it up.

[ATAHUALPA867]

Hey dude, Oaxaca is teh place that I have heard , as being a nice town , is that for real?

[pdrop]

@ATAHUALPA867 yeah, it's a nice colonial town with great architecture, but wasn't sure what to do there. I guess there's a lot of cool stuff in the Oaxaca Region...like the beaches in the next episode

[tijuanagringo]

@pdrop Hey Peter you didn't show anything about the ruins of Monte Alban, ancient hilltop capital of a 2000 year old civilization. That would definitely be something to see, just a quick day-trip from the city. You and your people are doing an excellent job filming and editing btw. Really cool adventures, cleanly shot and edited. XLNT content and technique. Thank you all.

[19rampage81]

cool videos. only 303 views we need to have more people watch these videos they are great thank you for visiting my beautiful country

[pdrop]

@19rampage81 Yes! We need to do something about this....Btw, Mexico is a great place.

[drumsticks94]

@pdrop you had a lot of views during scoot stars because thats when one of the vids was featured. thats how i found ur videos!

[ItAtinyWORLD]

@19rampage81 The view counter stops i think

[tijuanagringo]

@19rampage81 si ?verdad? pues !si! estos videos estan padresimos y ojala nos inspiran mis paisanos gringos viajar por tu Mexico lindo y amable.

[SONRAIHBOY]

Awesome too bad the episodes are short.

[xxwowthatsgreatxx]

i like how you enjoy your journey, and not just focus on getting to the destination if only more people were like this

[germainsimon]

ve tlaxcala

[BeyondMoments]

Lovely crew! Jake is sooo cute, and Patty looks gorgeous and peter good as always. I love how you guys put a sense of adventure into every video. Keep them coming!.

[pdrop]

@CapSlapAHoe This is all self funded, hence being on a tight budget.

[jpmhp]

Make longer episodes please

[pdrop]

@jpmhp Some places we just couldn't shoot enough footage so the episodes need to be short. I'll either release longer episodes, or around 3-4 minutes twice a week.

[gallumhrasha]

dam i i wish these episodes were longer

[BobeHoodkins]

patty has a very sweet smile.

[pdrop]

@BobeHoodkins :) thank you.

[bubbabond22]

kudos, video well made. Keep em coming, im living vicariously through ppl who travel...

[pdrop]

@bubbabond22 Thank you! You're sitting right next to us on the bus.

[jimmyfunshoes]

Love this shit.

[INT3L818]

I wish your episodes were a bit longer, Other than that this is very entertaining.

[awreslr2]

Glad you introduced us to the other important people in your videos. You all make a great team to make some excellent videos.

[pdrop]

@awreslr2 Thank you.

[spitoncat]

This video was a whole 3:26. Would have rather seen Patty about 3:21 of this short video.

GRADE B

[Krounz44]

[pdrop]

@Krounz44 the program i use to make it crashed. I need to find a way to get another version. I know, I was bummed myself. Glad people notice the "budget breakdown."

[etchellclass]

Ohai Patty! You seem like a cool chick and your BF seems cool too.

Ohai Jake! *blushes* *giggles* Call me! :) LOL.

I love your show ya'll!

[pdrop]

@etchellclass HAHA, I think Jake is blushing reading this :) Thanks for the comment.

[putdatwhere]

yeeeeeeesss!!! Jake! Totally hawt! Woot! Finally!! I'm a sucker for the artistic types... lol.

[billybobjimjoejacksn]

Where was Patty when u lost ur wallet?

Just saying.

[pdrop]

@billybobjimjoejacksn Patty was in LA up until now. She heard about the wallet incident over the phone.

[Jackthemeat]

[pdrop]
