Oh no! Not another long winded adventure.
Thank You Gabriel 🇨🇦👍❤🇬🇷Would love to See You do some Adventures in Cuba!!!!👍
Did you ever think about to go and hike to "Lycian Way"? Almost you finished Greece and there it is so close.
Welcome back Gabriel!!!❤
Travel to Cyprus, which is not in the Schengen zone.
😅⏳
Gabe- can you please tell us the untrue version next? 😂
Life is all about figuring out how to get thru each day. Some clock in at the factory. Others can sit around doing not much. You… travel the third rock seeing all its beauty in every corner imaginable- all while on a budget
nice
Yes, on that daily budget I figured that it must have been well over thirty years ago!
China! It’s cheap and amazing
In china you can stay at best hostels at 3 to 4 euros per night and best hotels at 10 euro per night
Yea- me & my buddy in college (Miami U of Oxford Ohio) took a year off between sophomore & junior year to go see Europe. We both worked all fall & winter then finally left on St Patrick’s day. We both had $1500 of pocket cash ( those days they were traveler’s checks) plus the student’s eurrail pass. We flew Icelandic Air landing in Luxembourg. We pretty much did a city each day then hit the train station. We looked over the schedule board trying to find a place that the train gets there early morning. We found an empty room on train & slept there.
Only real difference is… your dad gave you $300 / my dad said ‘good riddance!’ 😂
how safe is it to walk around with a stick only in yosemite park? i mean arent there any bears etc? you should point the camera on the view to see the place
Hi Gabe! Can you show us Patras, the 3rd largest city in Greece? That city always flies under the radar!
Hi Gabriel, I'm sure you found the park quite quiet with the lack of travelers there. If I had to guess, you're going to an Asian country, avoiding the winter altogether.
