Parabéns! Good luck on your move!

You're most welcome. I'm so pleased it was helpful. Enjoy your trip!

Glad you liked it! I'm sure you'll get there. 😀

I'm pleased you like the video and found it helpful. Please share with your bestie this and the Madrid video: ua-cam.com/video/bl-jwh3b5GM/v-deo.html

Yes, it's very popular.

You're most welcome! Yes, calculating the best time to purchase the Copenhagen Card depends on individual itineraries. I found it extremely helpful and a good value on my latest trip to Copenhagen. Of course it's nice to go to a local bakery or restaurant for breakfast, but for the life of me, I cannot leave my hotel until I've had my coffee so I like the convenience - and amazing choices - of a 'european' hotel breakfast. I find them hard to beat, especially in an expensive city like Copenhagen. Thank you for the additional suggestions on local cuisine to try. It all can't be covered in a short video.

Thank you! Cheers!

Enjoy!

Glad you liked it. Please take a spin on the other videos in the Solo Over 50 series for any assistance. This 'young senior' will keep traveling the older she gets.😉

It's the Caribbean. 😎

Yes, it can be for some. This is why I took care to provide some good accommodations that are not near the strip. I stayed at the Cactus Hotel and it was quiet the time of year I was there. Now that I have been to Zakynthos and traveled all around the island, I think my next trip I'll stay further north in a quieter village. :-)

Thank you for the compliments. I think as a solo traveler, you kinda have to think of everything as you have no one else to rely on, right? 😃 Being a woman just helps even more. 😉

Happy to help!

Great!

Thank you for your feedback. I have made sure the spelling of the stations in the subtitles are correct so it's easy for people to Google those stations. Easily found. :-)

@CORRTravel I hadn't thought to turn on subtitles! OMG, thank you for responding!! We haven't chosen our hotel yet so I probably shouldn't even be watching the section on traveling in from the airport 😀

@@TracyKMainwaring It's my pleasure to help! Yah I like to provide subtitles for everyone. I find they help. No, please feel free to scan the entire video. It may help you decide where you want to stay. If it also helps, I have provided my top Hotel and Hostel picks for Barcelona. Links to them are in the video description. If you watch to the "Where to Stay" section of the video, you'll see/hear what things I look for in an accommodation when I travel so you can see why I listed those particular 'picks' for viewers. I hope they help!

Oh, great! I hope you have a wonderful time. If you need assistance planning Portugal, check out my Portugal playlist of travel guides and things to do covering Porto, Coimbra and Lisbon (more locations coming!): ua-cam.com/play/PLvYEWY9IO4X1wjfbTDmlwH0lAvbNFiDAw.html I love Zakynthos! Here is my Zakynthos Travel Guide for your assistance: ua-cam.com/video/kVKkl63CIZA/v-deo.html

Oh, that's a shame. Santorini is a lovely destination for ANY traveler. I hope you reconsider.

Thanks for sharing!

Great question, and thanks for providing the video time stamp. That is Porto Vromi Beach. It's on the northwest side of the island, south of Shipwreck Beach. Zakynthos has many of these beautiful, pocket beaches you drive or walk down to. This particular beach has a food stand as well. Google can find you more info on it if you wish.

@@CORRTravel Gorgeous, thank you!

@@user-mu4sm4nb1d You're most welcome!

Hello! This is a wonderful question and I'm glad you asked. As an international solo traveler for 29 years (and still going!), this is what I do and recommend and it's never failed me: First, never go out with your passport on you. Always keep it, and your extra credit cards, cash and valuables, in your hotel safe/hostel locker. Instead, make a color photo copy of your photo and signature passport pages and either laminate it or wrap with clear, packing tape, and carry this with you daily, along with your valid driver's license (as your 'official ID'), one credit card and some cash. As for beach going, boating, etc., only bring the essentials with you. Leave all else in your hotel/hostel. Note, I write for solo travelers and have a full list of beach tips here if you're interested: www.corrtravel.com/how-to-do-a-solo-beach-trip-tips/ You can see from that post, I use a waterproof waist pouch when I go into the water. I have a link to it (and other great Greece travel essentials) in this video's description but am providing it here for your convenience: amzn.to/4bb6Omt I personally use this pouch all of the time - from Maui to Croatia to Greece - and LOVE it. The trick is to only put in your phone, credit card, ID, cash and hotel key. That's it. You can leave other non-essentials (sunscreen, sunglasses, etc.) on the beach or boat. These pouches can pack alot (I've even put in my camera and other items in it), but the slimmer it is, the easier it is to snorkel and swim. I highly recommend it for any beach trip. From a boat, you could leave your valuables on the boat if you wish, but this is at your own risk and discretion. I only do so for a brief moment while I take video. So far, I have found people on boats have been honorable and have had no theft issues. The fewer people on the boat, the better. Still, I Ieave this to your discretion. Do not feel weird if you want to wear the waste pouch swimming/snorkeling from the boat. Some people do. Traveling stress-free is important, too, right? Hanging on the beach, NEVER leave your essentials unattended. Wear the waste pouch always. I hope this was helpful. Please post back if you used the waste pouch in Zakynthos and how you liked it, and your Zakynthos trip in general, for the other viewers. We love good feed back here! Have fun!

@@CORRTravel Thank you so much for this! It was extremely helpful! I purchased the water proof bag from the link that you sent. Again, thank you so much for your assistance!

@@jenniferd2094 You're most welcome. I hope the water proof pouch will provide ease of mind you have your belonings safe while you get to do all of the water activities you want to in Zakynthos. Have a great time!

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope it helps plan your trip to Nassau. Have a great time.

You're very welcome!

Thank you!

Well, although you may be surprised on how many in smaller towns may speak English, it is the best plan to undergo working on Portuguese so you can get more out of your stay in Portugal. If you want to go for dual citizenship, you'll need to take a Portuguese language test, just a heads up.

@@CORRTravel You have a good point, the Portuguese have among the highest percentage of proficiency in English relative to other non-English speaking countries in Europe. I don't know if it is accurate, but the figure I heard is somewhere near 80%!! I have an active application (since June 2022) for dual citizenship based on a now expired law for the repatriation of Sephardic Jews (Jews expelled from the Iberian peninsula during the times of the Inquisitions)! While there is no language req under that law, I'm currently beyond the minimal A2 level required for citizenship, floating somewhere solidly in intermediate land B1-B2. The chasm between B2 and C1/C2 seems so dauntingly huge. Anyhow, I like hearing about your Portugal adventures. Thanks for the time you take to make the content!

@@victorbehar804 You're most welcome.

You can work under the D7 visa, but work income is not used for the purpose of applying for the D7. The D7 is for passive income. If you are planning on using your working income as 'proof of income', you may wish to apply under the D8 visa. I would confirm this with an immigration service. In the US, you'll more than likely be working through the VFS office, not directly with the Portugal Consulate. I would go the to VFS Global website (www.vfsglobal.com/en/individuals/index.html) and find what location is closest to you and confirm if they who you'll have your visa application appointment with. Again, you can confirm all of this with your immigration service. Good luck!

Thank you so much for all the info 😊

Glad you liked it!

Thank you for adding your opinion for others to read.

Thank you

I'm sorry, but I don't live in Spain so I cannot speak to this.

@@CORRTravel ok thanks for answer, but have you ever felt unsafe while u were in spain in any cities or portugal ?

@@user4name Nope! 🙂

Glad you enjoyed it! Please feel free to check out the other videos on Greece. :-)

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful! I know, I know... my Spanish keeps slipping. Lo siento! Lol. It's one of my biggest adjustments. I hope people will forgive. That, and the fact I'm sitting under a red umbrella. 😀

@@CORRTravel luckily, as a Californian, my Spanish is minimal. I studied French in school, and my Spanish is mostly in the understanding, not speaking it. This combination is helpful in learning Portuguese. Portuguese people are so nice, most would never want to correct you, unless you specifically asked. I can wait to visit again!

@@Nubianette Honestly, lending to speaking Spanish is an effort that should be attempted, at minimum - it has helped me when English was not an option. Not all Portuguese may understand, but you'd be surprised. Additionally, much of the written language is similar so you would be able to understand some basic information.

@@CORRTravel yes, with comprehension, French and the Spanish I know, does help with understanding a bit of Portuguese. Definitely helpful when learning Portuguese, it’s just that there’s a bit of a rivalry between Spain and Portugal, I was told, and English is preferable, surprisingly. Using Spanish for some, isn’t favorable. But, there are people who are Portuguese and Spanish, and they don’t care. It could be, more Portuguese now, feel the domination of Spain in their lives. I did observe one American woman use her Dominican Spanish to a waiter. I used English. He was nice, but when he realized she spoke English, he only spoke back to her in English with a pained grimace. I also got my drink and food orders before she did. Being in different cultures is definitely interesting. 😊

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and keep coming back!

Thank you for your feedback. I'm so pleased you liked it! Please feel free to see the other travel guides on this channel and keep coming back for future travel planning needs! Best, Gwen

I booked my boat trips to islands while there, but in advance. However, I was there in mid-September. Since you'll be there in Peak Season, I would book in advance if you can. Summer months always have more tourists. Have fun!

Glad it was helpful! If you're going to Zakynthos, please let the viewers know how it went and what you liked most. Would love to hear about your trip. Have fun!

I'm so pleased you liked the video and found it useful for your upcoming trip to Barcelona! I appreciate your ask for assistance in planning. I do provide itinerary audits for existing itineraries (www.corrtravel.com/coaching-services/) but can also help prepare an itinerary from scratch. Please feel free to book time with me with the link I provided. If you want something quicker, I have an instant, downloadable 4 Day Barcelona itinerary in PDF format you can find here: www.corrtravel.com/travel-resources/travel-itineraries/ or here: www.corrtravel.com/barcelona-4-day-itinerary-pdf/ This, I'm sure, will definitely get you started. It's fairly quick moving, so you can use it as-is and insert an extra day trip from Barcelona, which I highly recommend, or just slow it down to last for 5/6 days with one day trip from Barcelona. Whatever you choose, I HIGHLY recommend getting either your Barcelona Card or individual entry tickets to the big ticket items (like La Sagrada Familia) asap with skip-the-line entry for first entry of the morning, if possible. This way you avoid the crowds and have more of the rest of the day to relax. I hope this has been helpful for you!

That's a great question. Actually, my hotel (Starlight Luxury Suites) arranged the kayak for me when I was traveling solo in Croatia. I cannot recall the name of the company at this time. I would reach out to your hotel/accommodations in advance and ask if they can arrange the kayak for you (w/ cliff jumping). I hope you get to do it. It was great fun. Good luck!

@@CORRTravel I will try and contact the companies directly then and see what they say.Sounds like a great way to enjoy my vacation. Thanks.

@@johnstewart3244 Hi John. I had a chance to do some quick research. This tour looks very similar to the one I did in Split. It's small group (no more than 12), and leaves from Bene area for a half day. Just take the bus from the Riva area to the Bene bus stop (very easy - just confirm this with the tour company): viator.tp.st/f4lTBqtt You should be able to stop at the beach and also do cliff jumping. Just bring money for food/drinks. I had a BLAST on my kayak trip. Such a fun morning with a great group of people (as you'll see in the video). Our guide was great, too. I hope this is the same company I had on my tour. Note: if you're going during peak season, I would highly book in advance as these days activities are selling out. You can cancel 24 hours in advance for free (as long as you book more than 12 hours in advance). Bonus, because if there is chance of thunderstorms, like there was when I was there, the trip could be cancelled. Have a great time! Post here if you did it and how you liked the kayak and Split in general for the other viewers. Thanks! -Gwen

That's absolutely super Gwen . I will do as you say and leave my impressions below. I am grateful for your extra research. If you come to Northern England, please get in touch and I will show you round! Thanks again. Only 4 weeks to go before my holiday of a lifetime!

@@johnstewart3244 My pleasure to help. I'm sure you'll have a great time. Thanks for the kind offer on Northern England!

I'm so pleased! Please see all other travel guides for your travel needs.

Thank you for your recommendation on Perissa. My recommendation on Thira was that it offers so many bonuses for first time travel, especially on a short stay. If you want a quieter experience, just stay further away from the Thira center, as I mentioned in the video. Yes, NEVER use any animals for tourism efforts. They are cruelty to animals. I also state this on my website: www.corrtravel.com. I am so appreciative you feel the same!

Do you recommend a place to stay in Perissa?

@@verawhite1586 If I were to stay there, I would lean towards Meltemi Village Hotel: booking.tp.st/Vude2S21 It's highly rated, close to the beach, has amazing amenities and the price is very reasonable. It looks like it's always in demand. Maybe @emmashervington1667 also has a recommendation?

I'm sorry you feel that purchasing carbon offsets is not beneficial. Actually, they are beneficial as those funds go to many programs. They are but ONE way you can do you part to protect the environment for more sustainable travel. I encourage you to undertake all efforts, not just carbon offsetting. If you have other great eco-travel tips that you currently do that I have not mentioned, please provide them here for other viewers! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much. Yes, it's a lovely island. You will like it! 😉

Most welcome! I'm glad you found it informative.

You're welcome!

Thank you for your input for the viewers. Yes, unfortunately, the change from the 119 bus to the new 59 bus JUST went into effect 2 weeks before I completed this video. I was just in Prague again late April and saw the new 59 bus myself. Looks nice, is much larger, AND eco-friendly. Fortunately, segway tours still do exist in Prague and are also eco-friendly. They are predominately on the west side of the Vltava (Little Quarter) area. These are good options for those who cannot walk those hills. :-)

Glad you liked it! Honestly, all beaches have them. If you tell me what time in the video you're referring to I can let you know.
