Wish I could jump on any of those busses and go on an adventure. Nice video Gabriel.
Traveling through different climate zones, like winter before and now heat, with the very same luggage aka one backpack, that is amazing ! 🙂
Nice, especially the end part beautiful sunshine 🌞

28:27 You're lucky gabriel that you can eat so much and still remain thin (due to your lifestyle)
That still photo of you in the cave is great. It looks like you're floating. Wish I was that limber.
Lovin ur music choices
Local buses is the only way I travel in India. No taxis, no tourist buses. So much of my trip happens in those bus rides. The things you see in on buses, the contact with the locals, the best memories. Ankola – I remember that place, I took a sleeper bus from there to Hampi! I ate the best Dal Tadka there in a Dhaba in a gas station!
I was rising Buses in the Snow in Reykjavik last week, Quite an experience.
1:20 dhalsim?
What an intro ❤
Hawkwind is my favorite space rock group.
Love the beginning of this video Gabriel… you look like you are floating in the air 😁
So much trash Everywhere
Hey Gabriel. I will highly recommend Mandrem beach near Arambol if you are looking for more of a nicer crowd and for good food. Go visit Kaashi bhai and his great family at Om Kafe in Mandrem. You won't be disappointed!
That looks hot. Not for me. The script they had in Gokarna looked pretty similar to the Thai script.
Hi Gabe, It is now exactly 4 years since April 2022, when I first started watching your videos. You were in Varanasi, wanted to escape the heat, and took 2 buses back to back from Bareilly to Haldwani, and the next one to Nainital. On the second bus ride, you had crossed very close to my house where I used to live many years ago. (INTENSE BUS JOURNEY to the Himalayas of India – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcUGtCMtD5M )
This video reminded me of that journey. First, the bus rides and escape from heat (in this case to a room with AC), and second is the intro with the yogic poses. I remember that in one of those Varanasi videos you were talking to a stranger, and he mentioned that you are Indian now, which you gladly accepted, 11 times in India then. (07:50 to 8:30 THE VARANASI EXPERIENCE – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucdOpASZdm4)
Did you forget to Shave ?
I just saw a video about 'Adventure Tourism in India: Are Tourists Safe? | Vantage on Firstpost | N18G' It shows a tourist who was parasailing at Baga Beach in Goa and then cable snaped mid-air. The operator refused a refund and became agressive. So, better don't do it… Enjoy Goa!
The women there are always so brightly dressed. They look like festive gifts, 🎁, presents!! Beautiful colours!!!
