EPIC Things To Do In New Orleans (Travel Guide & Tips) | Epic Wanderers
We’re driving to Baton Rouge right now, thank you for all of the info. New sub… and we’re heading to stroubes as soon as we get into town
Have fun!
Thank you so much for this absolutely breathtaking experience. Where is this paradise, please? 🙌🌺🌞
Glad you enjoyed it. It's a video from the S. Pacific.
Do you get a souvenir while at the brewery?
yes, we always try to get a souvenir at breweries. We especially love stickers and add them to our beer fridge to help remember all the cool places we've been.
beautiful, like it, love it
Thanks so much 😊
Спасибо ребята за фильм! Я останусь дома и подожду моих друзей от вас. Для меня много дождя и ветра... спасибо, что любите свою страну. Для меня слишком сурово все🌹🌱💖⚘❤
My Baton rouge..thank you for such nice video...
My pleasure 😊 thanks for watching.
@@TheEpicWanderers I’ve been following the news about Madison Brooks; and the rape culture in TigerLand by many of the LSU football players; and the two high school football players who raped Madison Brooks. There’s so much underage drinking going on in the bars in TigerLand; I was wondering why can’t the female LSU students who are not old enough to be in the bars find something else to do on a Friday night; and a Saturday night instead of underage drinking at a bar with some of them being sexually assaulted; or raped? They could be having fun doing something like rock climbing in the Uptown climbing indoor park; or going out to see a movie in a movie theater; or going to a bowling alley; and go bowling knocking down the pins with a bowling ball. I’m sure there are plenty of other forms of entertainment to enjoy instead of getting drunk in a dangerous bar that has violence inside; and outside the bars where people have been killed; and stabbed; and women have been raped. Tell me what do you think of my ideas about other forms of entertainment for the LSU female students who are not over the age of twenty one. When the LSU football team plays at home; the underage female students don’t have to attend the home games watching one hundred thousand screaming fans cheering on rapist football players; and instead leave the TigerLand area for a few hours until the crowds leave the stadium; and the area. Tell me what you think about this idea?
Love Dalkey and going back for a quick catch up in August. Last time had a horrible fall and ended up in ER. People were more than helpful. Was so grateful.
Wow! Glad you received great help. So happy you get to go back to Dalkey. Such a beautiful place.
Next time visit the Glen Oaks area..
Nice video dear god bless you
Thank you! You too!
Really great video!👍👍
Glad you liked it!
Ireland...is such a great getaway. Another world. One in which you can imagine your ancestors way of life. Such a beautiful place. Much enjoyed. You earn another like.
Couldn't agree more!
Ohhhh noooo...you failed to mention the bullet holes in the marble of the State Capitol hallway...where Huey P. Long was assassinated. I remember that most as a teen when we visited. Enjoyed your channel...you have a new subscriber, and a like. ☀️
So glad you enjoyed it. And you're totally right. Can't believe we forgot to mention that. I thought it was so interesting. Thanks for subscribing.
dont forget the pencil stuck in the ceiling of the senate chamber from an explosion.
Great for work and studying. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video,The old State capitol is definitely awesome.
It really is! I hope we get to visit again.
I was born here in 1953 and lived here all my life. Great place to live.
That’s so wonderful. We truly loved our visit.
We spent New Years Eve there,We loved it.............
I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
🙂 ❤️👍🏼
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hello I’m from Baton Rouge. Nice video. Downtown is cool to visit - the bars and music and river walk. I also like how there’s so many parks throughout the city. LSU also provides a lot of entertainment to the city - sports music and arts.
We live in Boca Raton and to a road trip to St. Augustine last week. It looks so much alive now. Restaurants, museums and the different public places are keeping safety protocols, but some people seem to not care. Beautiful city to visit, charm and history everywhere.
I'm so glad you got to enjoy beautiful St. Augustine. It's a special place.
This was an amazing video!!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it.
I was born in Hammond La it's about a 30 min drive from Baton Rouge
such a beautiful place.
I was born in Louisiana. I haven't been through the city in a long time but I like parks and places to exercise.
I moved to Jacksonville from St Augustine and want to go back so so bad.
It's such a beautiful city, isn't it? Hope you visit again soon.
Where are you from originally?
Perfect background music and images while we cooked!
Glad you enjoyed!
Awesome video
Travel With Jen Hi Jen, thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it. Keep wandering.
I’m going to Nola in May, I’m 20 and I was told some bars/restaurants sold alcohol to 20 year olds, is that accurate?
Seth Justice not that I’m aware of. We were asked for ID at all bars/restaurants.
Great video guys! Those beignets looked so tasty 🤤..
Thanks! They were delicious. Definitely a must try if you're in town.
The Epic Wanderers ohh we definitely will. Hoping to do a US roadtrip next year so will be eating all the Beignets haha! Just subbed to you 😊.
@@BordersAndBeyond Thanks so much! Your roadtrip sounds amazing. Enjoy all the beignets and beautiful sights. Happy Wandering.

Going to Belfast for the first time in August. I’m on an adventure alone and eager for the food and drink!
can't understand the thin voice, because of the very loud music...
Not more moher
Yep, we learned after visiting! ;-)
11:91 I have been pronouncing that incorrectly lol "AMA-lay"? 🤔
its pronounced A-meal but its NOLA
Good tips on places to stay and eat! my only advice (major pet peeve of mine sorry :/) Look at the camera LENS when filming NOT the display. The whole time your looking at yourself and not the lens. I want to feel like your talking to the audience not yourself.
It's not all fun and games,just remember Nola is one of the deadliest city's on earth,never stray outside the french quarter alone after dark,don't trust anyone,they will befriend you just to rip you off and kill you,the average 12 year old is packin and will kill just to add a notch on his roster.Don't believe all the hype ,the quarter is full of pickpockets and petty theives,never travel alone in Nola at any time ,make sure your will is complete before you travel there.
Curious how you found the weather in June? Going late May/Early June and fearing the worst. How should we pack?
emilio1316 Hi. Thanks for watching. We usually go in August and it’s really hot, but I’m from FL so I’m used to it. I think May and June would be perfect. Shorts and sundresses. Some light layers for evening or if you do anything on the water where there’s a breeze. Bring an umbrella; summer storms pop up quickly. Hope that helps.
Christina Benjamin Very much so and a big relief. Thanks for responding, you got yourselves a subscriber. Keep up the good work.
Hi Christina. I found you through suggested videos. First, your videos are great and your editing, top notch. I made a UA-cam channel, so I'm doing my research. Thanks for all of your help! Please keep it up. Just subbed!
Thanks Todd. Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow 20 days worth of clothes in one suitcase. 😮 Good job it would be super hard for me. Thanks for sharing! London would be cool to visit. Now subscribed would love for us to support each other. 😊
The pub you went on the first day looks so charming. The location of Doolin Inn hostel is just fantastic with the sea view... and the Dublin city looks beautiful. We go to Ireland this May and your video is very helpful! New subscriber here! 111
Thanks for subscribing. Glad the video was helpful. Have so much fun on your trip.

Is that Jeff Keisel?
Hi Christina Benjamin, I am in love with your series "The Geneva Project". Not that long ago you came to my school and gave us Truth the first book of your series. I loved it and ordered the second one immediately after. Secrets was such a good book that made me go through so many emotions; sadness, happiness, confusion, and anger. Towards the end of the book I started to cry which rarely happens because it was just so good. As you said, once you finish a good book you don't know what to read next. Well I wanted to get the third book immediately! I ordered it from Barns and Noble and I am waiting patiently for it. What my point is, is that I am having a very hard time finding the last book of your series which is Destiny. When I was at Barns and Noble they said that Destiny doesn't get printed anymore? So I had to leave Barns and Noble empty handed. Today I just checked Amazon to see if it was available again and to my surprise it was! But unfortunately it cost $1,174! Now I don't know if you would spend one thousand dollars on a book but for me that is exspensive. I would like to know if maybe you can help me out maybe give me a link to a place I could buy it (for a reasonable price). Or if you can even contact a publisher.. My dad is trying to contact you but I just wanted to say this to you here.
Hi Summer, so glad you enjoy reading the Geneva series. The reason you’re having trouble finding it on Amazon is because it’s been rebranded as Geneva Sommers. Type that in on Amazon and all 5 books should come up. Also be careful when you see books priced super high like that. In this case it’s not me or my publisher selling the book, but a third party which could turn out to be a scam.

@@TheEpicWanderers thank you so much!
That was probably gaelic football rather than rugby on tv for the time of the year.
Oh cool, it was a great atmosphere at the pubs!
Hello! Im planning a family trip to ireland next september, looks like y'all had a packed 6 days. Im stressing a little about planning a trip for 6 people. Do you find it best to drive around on your own? Thank you for the informative video.
Also did you fly in and out of dublin, just rent a car and travel around?
Hi Robyn. Yes we flew in/out of Dublin. Rented a large SUV that we picked up from Airport. Reserve ahead of time if you can because there weren’t a lot of large cars. If you’re going to spend a lot of time in places like Dublin or Killarney it’s easy to Uber/cab everywhere. If you want to go drive to the coast or see castles renting your own car is the best option.
Robyn Frazier have an amazing time.
@@TheEpicWanderers Thank you!!! Im guessing with six people we end up renting two cars. Thanks for the advice.
