Who are Wyatt and Reyka?!
If you’re new here, hi! 👋
Originally from Washington (Wyatt) and Ohio (Reyka) in the USA, we started dating in college during the pandemic.
To celebrate graduation, we set off on a 6-week trip to Mexico. We filmed some videos for our family back home, ate a million tacos, and quickly got hooked on life on the road. On a whim, we set a 50-country goal! We didn’t know if we’d make it, but it sounded fun.
Dozens of passport stamps, a couple years, and many mistakes later, here we are! Still traveling to new countries, we are living out our wildest dreams, doing what makes us happiest! 🥹
We are incredibly grateful to be able to travel our planet every day. It’s not lost on us how lucky we are. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey! 🥰

You are just not acclimatized to the new environment, don't worry. Get well soon ❤
I wanna go home !!!! Last time I went back was in 2018. As a Chinese doctoral student studying STEMs in US, due to the geopolitical tension, we recently feel increasingly risky to travel outside US border before getting the degree. Every night, I am watching these kind of China travel video, just as if I am traveling back home…
You wore a pair of khaki pants to tour the Great Wall ? 😂😂😂😂
I'm just curious, so Wyatt got food poisoning and Reyka didn't? Did you guys have the same food or different? If it's the same, the only explanation is Reyka's body/digestive system adapted to a different environment and foods faster than you do. I also had food poisoning after dining in an expensive food court in Shanghai about 6 yrs ago, but it wasn't my first time in China. I had diarrhea throughout the night up till the next day noon and then it suddenly stopped. Prob I have purged all the bacteria/virus by then. Then I threw caution to the wind and started to eat those snacks sold by independent sellers by the roadsides. To my surprise, I had the most delicious braised tofu stick for just about 1 Yuan and no diarrhea!! I think the contamination occured in the kitchen when they put raw and cooked food side by side. Sometimes, it's really food poisoning due to improper handling but other times, esp for some people if it's their first time in a foreign country that's very different in culinary styles, it can also be due to the body tying to cope with and adapt to different food and environment for the first time.
0:20 This is because you have arrived in a new environment and your stomach and intestines are not used to the local food. So you should be especially careful about your diet, not because it is not delicious, but because you need to consider your stomach's ability to adapt. Especially in summer, you should eat less cold food and drinks. Try to eat warm food. Don't eat too spicy food, or you will have diarrhea. Just eat more light food. After a few days or weeks of adaptation, the situation will get better.I see your girlfriend is fine, she's enjoying herself. Hope you have fun.
00:45 it is just a toll gate, the gov does not have any interest in tracking a normal tourist. Unless you did something illegal.
07:20 the root cause is his mind, if he does not have an open mind to accept the food that he never had before, his stomach will have less acceptance of the food either.
After CHINA, Plz come to our country Bangladesh and Visit Sylhet, Rajshai, Sentmartin, Sundarbans 🥰
If you not used to eat especially spiciy stuffs, easily get stomach upset … is not really food contain poison.
"ETC" signs at toll booths in China mean "Electronic Toll Collection".
loved reyka cutie smile😁
welcome and have fun. come to macau and see us too.
非常棒的影片，🤣🤣🤣 给你们一个衷心的建议，推荐你们去中国中部地区，比如 安徽、陕西、河南、 或者边境地区、新疆、青海、四川。
慕田峪比八达岭长城人流量略少，北京周边我认为最美的长城是金山岭长城，距离只是距离略远。
China and India’s ancient geopolitical landscapes shared strikingly similarity and differences: In the Indian subcontinent, the only gateway from the vast Eurasian landmass lay at the Khyber Pass in the Hindu Kush Mountain Range. Whoever held that narrow choke‑point could block the nomadic warriors of the northern steppes. Unfortunately, the peoples of India could not keep this pass secure, and time and time again foreign armies poured through, subjugating and ruling the fertile plains of the Indian Subcontinent ……
By contrast, China’s northern frontier presented a far broader expanse—mountain ranges loomed, but they did not form one unbroken barrier. For more than five thousand years, the Chinese devoted themselves to building, reinforcing, and perfecting the Great Wall, a continuous defense running across that open terrain. Through the ages this vast rampart repelled repeated incursions by steppe tribes, forging in the process the resilient character and enduring cultural identity of the Chinese people: a culture emphasize collective values, emphasize unification and solidarity to defeat foreign invasion …..
New subscriber here. Wonderful experience!
who do you think you are? they need to hire someone to track you？
Love China! Wish I can visit too! ❤❤❤😊
No bro, those are toll gates. Here in South Africa, we have electronic toll roads on all our national highways, managed by the road authorities who use the toll fees to maintain and upgrade the highways. It’s a per-use payment system. Many countries have those, you can pay by mounting an e-tag in your car, or you can pay with cash. Looks like those ones in China are automatic, by scanning your licence plate and debiting your account with the charge.
看来对中国食物还不太适应😂，喜欢你们的视频！欢迎你们！❤
The Great Wall of China at Mutianyu is truly a marvel! The breathtaking views, the history that comes alive with every step, and the sheer scale of it all make it an unforgettable experience. It’s more than just a wall—it’s a symbol of China’s rich past and resilience. 🏯🇨🇳
