today on living hakuna
we go on a two-week vacation with my adventurous family
and finish up with a multicultural party
i'm Andrea that's Alejo and those are our bears Ozzy and echo
we left the corporate world in Miami to become digital nomads and chase to win kiteboarding
join us as we sail an adventure in our dream home hakuna
what's up guys welcome back to another video
so if you saw last week's episode you know that we have been in Deltaville marina
for two weeks now and we will be going on a vacation with my family
for the next two weeks, we'll be heading to new Hampshire and Maine and we're really excited
because we haven't spent that much time with them um and yeah we're pretty excited to
kind of take a little break of you know the everything on the boat
because then we'll start heading south and we'll be going to the Bahamas
but what I wanted to show you guys is a little update on our plants
I know when we were in North Carolina we told you guys about like our garden
what we were planting and we haven't done an update since
so I'm gonna do a quick little update so a lot of people actually worry that you won't be able to have plants on the boat
because of the salt and just the overall environment
but what we have done has really worked out for us so if it's
a storm or if it's like really bad weather we just bring them inside
the rest of the time they're always out here and i'll show you guys so this is our tomato
and you'll see that everybody has a few tomatoes
here we have like 14 tomatoes another one here
the basil looks beautiful it's really really doing great we have already used it plenty of times
we have the mint here and we just kind of cut it because sometimes they just need to get a little
haircut we have also our onions green onions
and this one and we actually bought them from the supermarket and then just put them in soil
and it just grew a lot uh we also have our parsley which you guys saw when we were making the crabs
it's also looking really good we have cilantro here
it's really nice and we have jalapenos and you i'll show you guys here look it already has a
few jalapenos here so the plants that we didn't have much luck that we also
planted where the zucchini and the carrots and i don't think it was because of the environment
or anything to do with like living on the boat
but it's just because the pots were actually too small
for the carrots and too small for the zucchini so we've been trying to grow spinach here but
for some reason we haven't seen it yet but now i the other day i was eating strawberries and i
just threw a few seeds and we started like two plants started growing so i'm not sure if they
are strawberry of their or if they are spinach that week we rented a car and left deltaville
for a two week vacation we headed north to lancaster in pennsylvania where you can find
one of the largest Amish communities
so tell me andrea where are we right now we are in a tour
of the Amish farm and they have a bunch of cute animals goats and cows
and can you hold my dog
the Amish are group of traditionalist Christians that believe their faith caused them to live
a lifestyle of hard work simplicity and humility their traditional lifestyles stay away from
modern practices that include the use of cars electricity technology or fashionable clothes
it almost felt like being back in the 1900s
they move around using horse-drawn boogies
they don't use any public electricity or machinery and forget about owning a tv cell phone or even
accessing the internet how long would you guys be able to live like this for
let us know in the comment section
new york-new york
what's up what's up we continue heading
to our next spot new hampshire where we saw the red and colorful trees of fall for the very first time
and we got to go on an awesome hike with our family
so we're gonna be doing a hike it's a one-hour hike
and we're with the bears we are this is our first hike
we're gonna be doing two weeks of exploring
with my family my parents my sister her fiance and the dogs
and Alejo and and me will be exploring
new Hampshire and Maine for the next two weeks
just taking a break from the from the boat life
all right here we are at the basin cascade trail that's the name in uh Francona
state park there's this Tea Ozzy Echo and Alejo say hi yeah yes
look at this beautiful river so beautiful
hi patty hello did you see that color
if you've been following us for a while you probably know that our girl echo is fully blind
she lost both of her eyes just one month
before moving on board hakuna
and that's why one of the most beautiful moments during this trip was
seeing her overcome so many obstacles during the hike
we've learned to become her eyes and guide her she has developed all her other senses
so much that through sounds vibrations and smells
she's still able to join us in all our adventures without any exceptions
we can't imagine ourselves walking through mountains trees rivers without seeing anything
yet she's been able to do that and so much more
honestly four years ago when we rescued her we never imagined that a dog
would be able to teach us as much as she had
good girl okay
after enjoying new hampshire we continue heading north to our next and final stop
maine what's up everyone what's up people
so where are we right now baby in maine in maine

my parents have been traveling south america
as overlanders so we learned a few things about their lifestyle
but after two weeks we were ready to go back to the boat
over landing is definitely not easy and although living on a sailboat isn't easy either
we seem to enjoy that kind of work a little bit more
i still wanted to show you guys what
an overlanding vehicle looks like and this is their traveling home or their home
on wheels my parents slept on the tent on the roof of
the car well we slept below the awning as it converted
to a tent and honestly before it started raining it was actually really comfortable for
other than the dogs their tent is very comfortable inside
and a lot more protected from the rain than expected
nonetheless my parents will soon be joining the rv lovers
as they feel it's time to travel a bit more comfortable on the other hand
you have my sister and my brother-in-law and when we were back in miami
they were just starting to build their van well now it's ready
and they've moved into their first home for this amazing van life experience
this is a 170 mercedes sprinter van and in here nati
and franco have it all this sofa can actually be pulled out into a bed and this is where Alejo and
i will sleep when we go visit them you also have a full kitchen
and a comfortable queen size bed below this cushion they have
a pull out shower they can just hang it right from the top
right next to it is the compost toilet and they also have plenty of storage in their living space
and a great garage for all their gear one month ago they joined my parents
and us in this alternative lifestyle and we're so excited
for them what can i say i guess we're not too traditional
and the love for adventure just runs in the family
it was time to say goodbye and finish all our boat projects
for our time in the caribbean last week on the marina
and i'm gonna try to change we're gonna take off our bedroom window and put it back on
because it's detaching from the boat
and i put some suction cups so when i detach the window from the inside it doesn't fall in the water
you can see just by pushing how the window comes apart
so the window was was like loose here from the bottom
but still holding on from the top and that glue is like super hard to get off
but i want to take it off because you don't want to sail with that window like this
remove the window, please
so we have a hole in our boat that's a big window he's a big window
please ma'am do not drop the window in the ocean oh that was hard yeah two hours later
two hours later literally look I'll show you guys from here so remove this
black sikaflex
so it's sanded, cleaned with alcohol
I put tape in the inside now here's the window
so we cleaned and sanded also the window we're gonna put the primer zika primer 209
okay so right now we're putting the zika flex on the fiberglass
we already sanded the fiberglass
and what else did we do babe
we primed the window primed the window you can see the window
here we already put all the primer around the window
our battery died in our camera so i couldn't record
like when we put on the window but here it is
that's how it looks like the sticker flex is holding
and how we did is we put the two big suction cups
through the inside and pulled the window in
and we left it for four days for the sikaflex to dry and yeah that's it that's
the window after getting our boat ready for our passage it was
time to say goodbye to some great friends we made at the marina by having a Latin party
we showed our American and dutch friends the different rhythms
we enjoyed dancing in south america and we even got them dancing
see i feel like i'm with yeah yeah yeah so this will be natural for you lynn sure
oh sure yeah oh you can see how easily this comes to me
I love salsa on my chips
how do you do that? Oh my god get my camera
there you go
one two one two one two
then you guys can start going either in circles or to the side
it was a full party even Magda and
Jose from la Gracia showed us the typical dances from chile
it was amazing to show our friends where we come
from the diversity and passion we have in our music and culture
and not to mention the excitement of seeing everyone dance to latin american rhythm
