Wizard of Oz Trip - Dodge City AirBnB Walk Through
I’m glad to hear how you froze and transported the food stuffs. Very helpful. And I never thought of collecting money of different countries. That’s a very good idea.
Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad you found the video helpful. It’s kind of interesting when you collect money from different countries that ends up being no longer made. For instance, the Italian lira was replaced by the euro.
Car trouble can really give a lot of stress and headaches. Despite the huge cost this did make for a great story 😊
Thank you. I agree. I felt bad for my friend having to go through that.
Gosh, that was a crazy trip! Luckily no bad things happened! You must have been very relieved when you arrived at your new home 😅
Yes it was. I loaded the moving truck with my mattress put on last. The first thing I did when I arrived was to take the mattress into the apartment and sleep. Luckily I planned ahead.
In today's age I wonder how often people with electric cars will run out of power. I guess not everywhere in the US charging stations are widely available 😊
In California it’s fairly easy to find charging stations. Elsewhere, not so much. People have actually made a business of putting generators in their trucks and driving to people with electric cars that have run out of power.
@NervousNessie haha, that is pretty funny 😁 but also convenient when someone does run out of battery. I guess just bringing a power bank won't cut it 😉
Why can't you lay down the backpack on the table,zoom your camera and do the review? Frankly, this video is a fail. I wonder why no one has pointed this out.
That’s a great suggestion, and I wish I could do that. However, I don’t have a table where I live to be able to do this.
You can add a little water to any type of wipes to make them like new.
Good to know. Thank you for the tip.

Thank you for offering, but I’m not interested at this time.
@@NervousNessie ok
Are locks provided for you or you should buy one separately?
Great question. You have to bring your own lock. If you don’t have one, you can buy one there. I would suggest getting a cable lock. It will fit any type of locker. I have a video on this channel that covers things you should bring when staying in a hostel. The lock is one of those items, and there are links in the description of where to buy it.
Staying here next month! So helpful and gave me a piece of mind as it’ll be my first hostel.
I think you’ll love it. Out of all the hostels I’ve stayed in, this one was my favorite. It has such a welcoming vibe and everyone is so nice.
Going on a longer trip where I'm at quickly means it's to another country in Europe. So any car trouble needs to be solved there. So getting your car checked out before the trip is very important and making sure the insurance covers that too. Even when a garage has checked it always check yourself. As a child I went on vacation once with a caravan. During the travel through the mountains we heard strange noises. After checking it appeared that the bolts of the wheels of the caravan were loose. Luckily we could fix it but it was quite a scare.
I can’t imagine how scary that must have been for you, especially in the mountains.
@@NervousNessie yeah, you don't want to think too much about what could have happened.
Thank you for sharing your story.
How u doing?, Bravo! you did top ~
Good, thank you.
Gosh! Ants can really get into all places. And the numbers can feel like millions 😅
Very true.
Taking a 20 hr coach amtrak ride to HI CHI. Let's hope for a top bunk
If you can, try to check in to the hostel as early as possible. Tell them you want a top bunk. They may not have a room available yet, but you’ll be there early enough that it’s kind of first come first served.
Very much looking forward to these videos! In Europe it is very common to Russo l roadtrip with a camper or caravan. Have done it a few times with my family as a kid.
Thank you.
How good to post an update video! It's so important to have honest reviews on how bags perform in daily life. The lack of organization and bad shoulder straps are killing for a bag. Thank you so much for sharing this!
You’re welcome.
Awesome that day 2 was better than day 1 😊 Comic con is still on my bucket list. Will definitely make it there one day! 😁
Thank you. I think everyone should go at least once.
So sorry this day started off so bad! That must have been quite scary! Luckily it turned out a bit better by the end 😊
Thank you.
This looks like a very useful mirror. From what I can tell from my wife, all features are very necessary. The different lights, brothers l brightness, charging, stand. A true fully featured mirror for traveling 😊
It’s always nice to have a personal mirror when traveling. Sometimes the lighting in hotel bathrooms is awful and it can come in handy.
Do they have a place to lock up your stuff?
Unfortunately they don’t. I took bicycle locks and locked my bags to the bed. Then I also had locks on the zippers to my bags. However, since there is room for only a handful of people, I would think it would be rare for someone to swipe your stuff.
Your NOT TELLING US THE MODEL
It’s the Swissgear 3760 ScanSmart Laptop Backpack.
@@NervousNessie 👍 Thanks
You’re welcome.
Great honest review of the pack. The sternum straps and the hip belt redistribute your load more evenly to the hips and throughout your torso rather than pulling down your shoulders - useful if people like to pack out their backpack. The bag in default mode is actually 35L bag, expanded it becomes 45L and then compressed it becomes 30L. The default mode is the carry on limit of most international airlines and compressed if it not fully packed out it may (if not scrutinized) pass on your back as a personal carry if you are not carrying anything else. What is great for this pack if you mostly pack clothes are packing cubes - as stated by another comment the loops in the main compartment are for Peak Designs Camera Cube system
Thank you. I always use packing cubes and this bag seems to hold them perfectly.
This hostel you feel safe? I will be there next week.❤
I felt very safe at this hostel and the surrounding area. I was able to walk alone, as a woman, late at night within a mile of the hostel. Boston is reported to be one of the safest cities in the country, if not the safest, for women to walk alone. I completely agree with that, and the hostel is no exception.
@@NervousNessie thanks alot for your reply and review.
@@หาเรื่องเที่ยว-ฌ1ฆ You're welcome.
That place is like heaven! What an incredible place! 😁😁 When one day I'd go there, what would be good options for staying there and what other place could I visit? Since it would have to be like a week long holiday.
There are hotels within walking distance to the entrance of the park. I’ve stayed at one of them before (I can’t remember which one but it was nice). The metro line (subway) is also within walking distance of the park. You can take the metro to various parts of LA. That metro line is the purple line (they are all color coded). It will take you into Hollywood, where you can check out the Hollywood walk of fame. It also runs all the way into downtown LA, where you can connect to other metro lines. For a week’s stay, I would say to check out the walk of fame, Griffith observatory, La Brea tar pits, and the Santa Monica pier. LA is too large to see everything in a week, but the places I mentioned are frequently featured in movies and tv shows, so it’s kind of cool to say you’ve been there.
@@NervousNessie Sounds amazing! I wouldn't need to see all of LA but some of it would be nice. Though I could probably also stay at Universal Studios the whole week 😁
@@maven22 I completely understand. It's been years since I've been to Universal Studios Orlando Florida, and they've added so much including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Next year they are adding a whole new park with even more Harry Potter. I'm hoping to go once they are done and spend a week there as well.
🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Thank you for watching.
Apparently, you don’t need to consider weight at all? Even if you had unlimited room to pack everything in your house, what is the weight limit?
Every airline has different weight limits for checked luggage and carry on luggage. The way I determine it for myself is if I can pick up the bag without any struggles. If I seem to struggle, or if I’m in doubt, I’ll weigh the bag and check what the limits are.
Capsule wardrobe!
I always carry more than I need, but some of my tops and bottoms can be mixed to make new outfits.
I love bag reviews! And everything related to travel 😊 Lately I've become disappointed with the peak design travel backpack. It's weight when empty is too much. And when packing it, it's quite uncomfortable to wear. The straps are not good enough and the buckles don't hold the straps tight all the time. I do like that this bag has the back ventilation. At least something to not make my back sweaty instantly 😉
I hate that you’ve become disappointed with the Peak Design bag. I still love mine. I will agree with you that the bag is a bit heavy when empty. Also, the straps do become loose when you wear the bag for long periods of time. I’ve found it handy to let the straps dangle a little so that as you’re walking, you can tighten them as needed. If your straps are really loose, maybe reach out to the company and see what they suggest?
@@NervousNessie they are a bit in between. They are not too loose, but I adjust them while wearing them. I'm always on the look out for new bags and maybe I'll sell the peak design at some point.
I think anything that has straps you’ll have to adjust with wear and tear.
Loved the trip! Looking forward to some review videos. 😊 Do you use neck pillows for the train or flying?
Thank you so much. Review videos are definitely coming soon. I used to have a neck pillow that I carried with me when I first started traveling. However, I quickly got rid of it. I found that it was a hassle to keep up with since they are kind of bulky. If you get one with a snap, you could hang it off your luggage, which is what I did. However, when walking through an airport, I found it catching on things as I walked. I also thought it was a little hot when I wore it. Overall, I feel like they are more of a hassle than they are worth.
Very nice Airbnb indeed. Overall a very nice place to stay. A nice common room also invites to interact with other people. Definitely a big plus of Airbnb and hostel versus hotel.
I agree. Hotels are nice for privacy, but can also feel cold and make you feel lonely if traveling alone.
I love it when these things happen unexpectedly! It's a good reminder to have days with nothing planned on holidays.
Me too.
The planetarium looks like a lot of fun and the view is also incredible 😊😊
I've found that it doesn't matter where you go along the edge of the lake, the view of Chicago is always breathtaking.
Such beautiful places! Chicago has so much to offer 😊
It’s one of my favorite cities.
The hostel keeps getting better with every trip 😊
I agree. I really think it’s all about which room you stay in.
Good content ❤❤
Thank you.
There are some problems in your channel and that's why you don’t get more audience. I can help you to fix these problems.
@@MehediHasan-lt4wq Thank you for offering to fix the problems you see.
Awesome review! I just ordered one and can’t wait to travel with it! :)
Thank you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Is this a female dorm or mixed dorm?
This was a mixed dorm. They do have all female or male dorms available though.
The clock 😅😅😅 that's funny 😁
Thanks
The only hostel in Portland, I believe.
There is another one, Kex. I haven’t stayed there though.
Thanks for the review, the room looks nice!
You’re welcome. There are definitely some hidden gems in DC.
Puedo llegar sin reservas?
Yes you can.
Oh my! That was quite a walk! Glad you made it! The upgrade for the train looks very much worth it!
Thank you. I feel like the upgrade is worth it if the train is really packed, the ride is four hours or more, or if you feel like you need more leg room to stretch your legs without having to stand up.
Chicago is really a beautiful place and so much to see and explore. I'm a big Jurassic Park fan, so your find is very very exciting. I'm also a big Lego collector, mostly in the Marvel theme.
I have quirky things that I collect. Like you, I also collect Lego. Mine are all Harry Potter themed. I also collect Nano Blocks. They are a mini version of Lego (which is great because they are cheaper and take up less space).
Visiting Chicago is definitely on my wishlist. Mainly to see the Chicago Bears. (The game against KC wasn't our best one 😉). The arcade is very much worth a visit!
Yeah I was sad to see that Chicago lost. I'd like to watch a Bears game in person the next time I go back to Chicago.
Excelllent review
Thank you kindly
Though it is nice to take the train and be able to sleep and shower, it still is an adventure in itself 😁
For sure. It’s also a great way to see a lot of the country and save money.
I've taken this train several times to LA and to Chicago. This is my favorite route on Amtrak.
I would love to take the full route one day.

The museum is really nice! Definitely worth a visit! Hope the journey went well! 😊
It was disappointing to miss the gunslinger show, but going during the off season meant it was less busy and you could take your time and see everything.
Very nice to see Dodge City! It looks like a quant place. It also has a lot of history which is really cool 😁
It’s a really nice small city.
You're kind of cute.
Thank you.
