sam the the pigs the wild boars are still around  

wing it we're bringing it that's the plan right  here hello hey how's it going good morning we are  

not in canada anymore no we're sure not we're  also not in lima either yes we've left peru  

so we are in argentina we sure are hello from  argentina in one of the earlier videos we asked  

you guys to guess where we were moving  and well the answer is argentina we are  

currently in the province of cordoba up in the  sierras in the little village where i grew up  

and we have some exciting plans here yeah there's  a fun family project that's going to be taking  

place here over the next over the coming years  yes yeah yeah so i'll let you talk about it  

so i don't think that's a story we can tell  in one video but to give you the gist of it  

there's this property that's been in my dad's  side of the family for three generations now  

and it's a place that my parents used to run  as a hotel together with my aunt and uncle for  

a few years back in the 90s so yeah we've been  talking about kind of doing something with that  

place because it's just been sitting there and  we're super passionate about tourism and travel  

and nature and quiet towns yeah we're we're  actually both from really small places we grew  

up in nature and so i would say for a good part of  our 20s and maybe into even into our 30s we were  

really excited by being in big cities not only  just traveling but also sometimes living in cities  

but it's kind of come full circle we're  we're craving to be back out in nature  

yes and this this property that that we're going  to be trying attempting to renovate which has a  

hotel and a couple of of houses that have uh  that are in and well they're in rough shape  

let's be serious yes so it is going to be the  most challenging thing we have ever undertaken  

in our whole lives without a doubt without a  doubt but with that comes a level of excitement  

because we think that the potential of this place  is just enormous this area is incredible you have  

world-class scenery you have world-class mountains  you have the tranquility of being out in nature  

and we feel like we can take something that is you  know close to being and it's not quite ruined but  

it's in rough shape it hasn't been looked after  properly in over 20 years we're hoping we can  

take something like that that's also been a part  of your family's history going back now this is a  

three generation yeah it's regeneration property  we're hoping that we can continue that legacy  

by uh by trying to reclaim its former glory yes  yeah and i think i'm also super excited about  

community because we've created this community  on youtube and we'd love to have a place where  

people can come and spend time out in nature  and like this place really is so healing being  

here in the sierras and the mountains like  we went for our first little walk yesterday  

down a dirt road and we were just taking in these  deep fresh breaths of air and it feels like it's  

filling every last part of your lung like you  just want to keep breathing deeper and deeper yeah  

it's just like you're you're craving to breathe  in this air there's just something about it yeah  

you can't really you can't really explain it in  a way better than just what you described like  

yeah it's just so refreshing and we're just really  excited to have a place where we can invite people  

to come experience this along with us and i think  it'll be a cool journey to take you on as well  

kind of from ruins to to what it can be to  its full potential so i mean this is a story  

that we're going to be developing over the  course of the months and the years there's  

going to be more information more videos coming  soon but for now this is our first full day  

up here we are renting a cute little house in  the mountains um it is autumn we're surrounded  

by beautiful colors i just had the best sleep  of my life last night i think it's a it's a  

combination of we we had zero sleep the day before  yeah and then just having a nice firm mattress  

only the sounds of nature woke up to chirping  birds so it's been good we're super excited in  

today's video we're just going to bring you along  for our first day here show you little bits and  

pieces of our new life in the mountains exactly  so i mean our long-term plans is that we're going  

to be splitting time between argentina and canada  yeah so we're going to be especially over the next  

few years we're going to be spending significant  time in argentina trying to get this off off of  

the ground yeah and um it's a project that we're  we're excited about we were planning to start it  

two years ago before the pandemic oh and so this  has been put on hold for two years yeah and um  

it's just so exciting to finally be able to pursue  it we're gonna just go in with the best attitude  

the best effort it's gonna be challenging  when you see uh the condition of the place  

like when we show it to you i mean here some  of your jaws may drop but that's part of the  

journey right it's uh it's something that that  is meant to be challenging meant to be exciting  

and we're really excited to show you uh what we  get up to with with this particular project here  

yes and this year is of course argentina yeah so  that's a little taste of what's to come indeed

do

okay so my task this morning is to finish  unpacking we've been living out of a suitcase for  

three weeks while we were in peru and since we're  kind of settling into this little cottage for  

a bit longer we want to make it feel more homey  more organized not just a mess in our suitcases so  

yeah i'm going to be unpacking everything tidying  up organizing making everything easy to find  

and making this place feel more like a home

so here we have it this is sam's side of the  closet three shelves all to himself we really  

didn't pack a lot for this trip so three shelves  is all we need per person just the basics so this  

is where i'm hanging our coats uh rain jackets and  then just a couple of dressier shirts and dressier  

pants just so they don't get wrinkled and now here  is my part of the closet another three shelves and  

we're keeping our dirty laundry down at the bottom  in a little plastic bag until we figure out until  

we figure out where and how we're going to do our  laundry because we do not have a washing machine  

but we do have a drying rack so either by hand or  find a laundry service in the village we'll see

milanesa for lunch yeah we're having villaneses  for lunch excited we're heating them up because

they're pre-cooked which is  cool and i tried one yesterday  

cold for the first time it was just like okay it  tastes so much better when it's heated up it's  

just gonna melt the cheese it's gonna make the  the rest of the meat a little warmer um so yeah  

i'm happy we're doing it like this a little  olive oil in the pan i mean i'm not sure if  

this is how you do it but we don't have  a microwave so this is how we're doing it

okay it is lunch time hey it's lunchtime  yes so can i interest you in some wine yes  

mora from the finca las moras one of

yeah so i just prepared a simple salad lettuce  tomatoes cucumbers some avocado olive oil and  

lemon juice and then the pre-made milanesas like  argentine schnitzels yeah um that we got yesterday  

at the market yeah they heated up nicely the  cheese is melted a bit so it tasted a million  

times better than when i had it cold so so cheers  cheers to our first lunch lunch here together

yeah i should mention yesterday when we  were driving up here in the afternoon we're  

snacking on empanadas that we  grabbed so this literally is our  

first lunch they did a nice job with  the salad just a light dressing huh

oh my gosh this is a thousand times better than  happy yeah don't try cold ice so we're giving  

ourselves a day to kind of get settled in you  know we like unpacked we're having our first meal  

somebody had to come and fix something in the  house um that broke just before we arrived  

but basically tomorrow the real work begins  because we need to start finding people  

laborers i guess you would say to help us out with  the property that's right first off we need to do  

a lot of clearing of the landscape because there's  this one plant that grows here it is called  

sarsamora and it's like a blackberry that  like grows shoots that like dig into the earth  

and then they spread and grow more shoots  and more and more and they kind of take over  

and you know that scene in the disney version of  sleeping beauty where he's like fighting to like  

get to the castle and these crazy thorny plants  are growing and he needs to save the princess  

okay that's what sarsamora looks like  yeah yeah basically basically slaying uh  

uh it's it's it's amazing because you can  you can obviously eat the berries but what it  

ends up doing is it sort of just starts choking  out the rest of the the vegetation in the area  

vegeta vegetation i should say so yeah we're  going to be doing a lot of that we'll just start  

by by looking at the most sensitive areas in and  around the houses and the hotels and just seeing  

like what's kind of growing a little bit too  close to to the structures and kind of work our  

way out from that so yeah we've already got one  lead we're gonna see if this person's available  

but basically it's a busy time there's lots of  people that do this type of work in the village  

but people are busy working so we'll we'll  see if we're able to get some people to come  

in a few days a week or what the situation is  we'll let you know as it unfolds any kind of  

progress would be nice yes any progress is  good progress so cheers did we do it cheers  

i can't remember cheers second cheers and i'll  actually try the wine this time it's really nice

smooth good stuff pepperoni honey

it's so cute

this is pepperoni paparino our new friend we  knew him from our last trip but he came and  

found this yesterday while we were walking  didn't you yes you did so it's coming with  

us he's like guys no worries i will lead the  way good pepperoni muy bien paparoni muy bien  

through the countryside before the  pepperoni pepperoni is having a rest so guys

are you done guys no we are not done there is more  a dog is so sweet it's now it's now followed us  

for officially all of our walks since we've been  back here two out of two and then it also was  

following us the last time we were here like over  two years ago so it's a friend in waiting mm-hmm

he's like i want to be in the shot  oh i want to be licking the floor i  

like the flower i lick the lens we're having  a photoshoot with the dog that's not even  

ours and he was smelling the  daisies he's great he's great  

all righty i got the fire going thank you to  warm up the house working in the in the room  

kind of in my own little world over here yeah so  we thought we would end today's video here by the  

fire well i'm warming up you're probably sweating  well actually it's it's toast it's nice it's a  

nice toasty feeling yeah it was a little it wasn't  chilly in my room but it's more cozy out here for  

sure so yeah but yes basically that was our first  day aside from what we showed you what we filmed i  

also went around town in the afternoon just like  saying hello to different people we know like  

neighbors yeah friends and you know reconnecting  kind of seeing what people are up to also you know  

you were getting in touch to see if there might  be people who are willing to work yes lots of  

asking around for laborers for clearing the land  so i've got three different leads i feel like  

that's a pretty good start for your first full day  first full day so that's a great start got lots of  

phone numbers yeah i mean we're planning to to go  and actually film the condition of the place soon  

we're gonna go get the tools so like things are  things are happening things are happening we're  

not here to to go like this twiddle our thumbs  we're here to make some progress no dilly dallying  

yeah no dylan so yeah we are super excited about  this we hope you guys are too yeah this is a new  

journey um but i think i think you'll enjoy it if  you stick around a little bit different from our  

usual travel videos this past decade but it's a  very exciting new chapter well yeah life changes  

and um of course we'll still create lots of travel  content on this channel but it's also kind of cool  

that the channel is expanding a little bit maybe  becoming a bit more versatile yeah as uh as life  

changes so do so do projects yes and um i think  this is gonna be really interesting because i  

think we're gonna try to film it really raw we'll  show what doesn't go well yeah you know we're not  

just gonna give you the highlight reel we're gonna  show you uh you know yeah and you know what i feel  

like i i try to be a very positive and optimistic  person and sometimes in the past maybe i've just  

cut out the negative or the bad because it's like  nobody wants to see that nobody wants a downer  

um but with this we want to show you  that it's probably not going to be  

easy and smooth sailing the whole way um so we'll  show you what it is so that if you have any dream  

projects adventures that you want to dive into  you know expect for there to be highs and lows  

along the way because that's normal that's just  yeah yeah that's that's really well said so yeah  

that's the style we're gonna go for and um yeah  we'll let you know what's going good what is it  

sounds good so we're overall positive yeah but  uh yeah and now we'll say a little shop bye guys

you
