- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- We travelled overland on trains and buses from London to Istanbul in just 7 days.
This is the first leg of our overland trip from London to Tbilisi, Georgia.
Our journey included enjoying the beer halls of Munich; exploring the gorgeous streets of Salzburg; riding the giant ferris wheel in Vienna; relaxing in the baths of Budapest; admiring the churches of Belgrade; having a traditional meal in Sofia; and taking the Sofia express overnight train to Istanbul.

-------------------- About Karl Watson --------------------
My name’s Karl, welcome to my channel that’s all about sharing my backpacking adventures from around the world, through fun, entertaining and honest travel documentaries.
Through these films I want you - the audience - to escape and come on the journey with me, and then be inspired to start an adventure of your own.
In between my travels I’m based in London, UK where I work as a freelance video editor.
---------------------
Thanks for all the amazing feedback so far!! Absolutely loved editing this film, and the trip was so much fun.
Episode 2 will be out next Saturday (30th March)
These two are proper funny dudes, please take them with you everywhere
I'll try ;)
Lol...where's James?@@karlwatsondocs
Hey Karl! I'm usually a lurker that never comments, but I have been following your channel since 2019, when I was 16 years old and first getting ideas about long-term travel and solo backpacking. I'm now 21, and last year I did my first backpacking trip across Europe, visiting a lot of places you visited (Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Istanbul). Watching this felt like such a full circle moment. I've discovered so many amazing places through your videos - now I can watch you discover all of the incredible places I was lucky enough to see last year. Now, I can finally say I was re-living travel memories through your camera, rather than simply daydreaming. Thank you for this, what a wonderful way to spend an hour. Keep up the good work! Love from the USA!
Love this full circle story, thanks for watching 😊
That is one heck of a trip there, sounds like a good time.
You took exactly the same route I took from London when I was 21. The only difference I bought a car in England and my friends and I drove it. It was such a good fun.
Love this style of more un polished with mates trip compared to the big budget sponsor tours
“Culture before beer. …but I guess here Beer is Culture and Culture is Beer so I guess we’re fine.” 08:50 😂 Gold.
Haha glad you’re enjoying it buddy 😊
Budapest is one of the most amazing cities in Europe!
I’m stunned by how you guys react to this. For me as a Dutch citizen I take all this for granted. This made me realize, it hit quite deep and made me realize how privileged we sometimes are.
Never seen this channel before and I subscribed less than 5 minutes in to the video before watched the whole thing, what a gem I have found!!
Watch his old honk Kong to NYC trip series he did ten years ago!
This Karl dude can't make a bad travel vid! Great stuff!
Something about this video, there's a really cool vibe to it! there's so many cool places and your editing is excellent as always 😄
Me and my mate just booked time off for an overland trip Copenhagen to Barcelona, so this couldn't come at a better time to hype us up!
Love your videos, Karl!
Sounds like a good route!
Killer intro! Can't wait for this one! Some of the best plans are written on the backs of cocktail napkins!
haha enjoy buddy :)
Haven't watched it yet but will get to it in 10 minutes. I already know this will be great!
Cheers man
You three seem to have a crazy good time in any situation. Hope to see them again in your videos.
Definitely the best job karl has done at showing off the food and how good it is in the countries he visits
This is random middle of the night, but this is still my favorite trip of yours. Love it bring your friends along
3 of us are planning follow up trip to this for March ‘25
Watching this on the big screen at a backpackers lodge at Tongariro National Park in NZ 😁
Love it!! 😊
Can only say one thing...."absolutely bloody brilliant". Typical lads on an adventure!!!! But captured with your usual aplomb, skill and judgement. A Master of your Craft. Makes for an hour's pure enjoyment. Thanks 👍👍
Cheers 😊👍
This is a massively underrated channel. Great job lads. Hi from NYC
Love the 3 of you together! Always love your vlogs and random t shirts! Looking forward to part 2! Cheers for sharing x
just one word:BRILLIANT
I went to the Augustiner Keller when I was in Munich and met up with a friend I hadn’t seen in 7 years before I seen him that night. Great experience, glad you enjoyed Munich. It is definitely top the list of my favorite places!
It is crazy how the serbian food looks like Greek or middle eastern/ North African food ... and we still feel very different , Greetings Serbia from Tunisia
I can't wait to see Georgia! 😉 A great train trip across Europe 👍👍
Absolutely love this content Karl, eagerly awaiting the next episode. Please do more in the future!
Will do for sure :)
Every KW episode is a winner, but this one takes the comedy cup. 5 stars, again!
Cheers man 😊
Just loved watching this episode. Cant wait to see part 2.
What a great trip .
Brilliant vid. Thoroughly enjoyed the banter.
Hey Karl, we freaking loved watching this one buddy! Reminded us of our time in Munich and Vienna. So awesome to see. Always waiting for the next one. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Wow
Beautiful Vlog. Fast moving, gripping and awesome places you have shown.❤
Great video, one day the BBC will notice you mate. I wish I had a mate that looks like Nick Frost, absolute legend 👍
Great video Karl another wild adventure through Europe. seems stressful taking all those trains and buses on such a short trip.
I love Before Sunrise as well. I did a self guided tour of all the sights they visit in the film. Great way to see Vienna. Looking forward to the Georgia section. One of my favourite country I have visited
Kev is the real star of the show...my favourite bit of the whole video was the eating sandwiches bit. Edge of your seat shit.
As an austrian I loved the struggle with the weißwurst 😂😂
Great video, nice of David Williams to support a growing UA-cam channel
The couples massage in Budapest had me absolutely creased 🤣 Brilliant video mate - as always!
Lololol I died when they showed the underwear haha
Hi! Karl👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Fantastic well edited vlog. Your 2 travel companions so exciting. Looking forward to your next posting. Cheers! 🍻
wow! halfway thru this vid and iam having tummy ache from all that laughing! i wanna have this kind of travel experience too!
Awesome video as always. I'll actually be in Winnipeg for the first time, April 18 for the Canucks/Jets game!
Glad to see you're back in action!
Another sensational travel video Karl....we love your work 🎞👍🏼
Wish I'd have met you in Vienna! Could've shown you the best wine & beer spots.
That bright pink building is my lovely office, the Magenta T-Mobile office
Great video!
Wow! a loved loved this! a what a wonderful adventure by the three Musketeers
Great video, again. Though I keep thinking you're traveling with Nick Frost which is cool AF 😂
Looking forward to part 2. (British Istanbul Resident)
Really great work as always Karl! Keep the videos coming
Fantastic series as always
Great content as usual, need more sporadic trips like this!
Plan to 😊
The massage 🤣. Your friends seem like good sports throughout this trip.
That was great Karl! I liked the part with the train in the restaurant the best! That was funny!
Cheers mate 😊
I cannot get over how funny the accidental couples massage and super sexy paper undies. These two are priceless travel companions. Budapest is an absolute highlight for any age.
It is a great title and I'm glad you stuck with it 😂 excited to watch
'Hopwarts' was a missed opportunity.
Europe is such a beautiful country, hope to visit some day
Another great video! Look forward too seeing episode 2 👍🏻🌍
Great video Karl!! Thank you 😊
You guys need to travel more together - hilarious fun!
Thanks!! Sorry we missed you 🙈🙈🙈🙈
@@karlwatsondocs Yeah, shame on you guys!! ;)
Absolutely loved this video. I would love to do this trip myself.
Stairs!! 😂 Another absolutely brilliant video! Fantastic laughs and adventures, thanks Karl!
As an Australian watching this I immediately felt that first night in a city "let's get way too drunk and be hungover day 1" feeling haha
I'm glad that you visited my home country of Georgia!
An amazing video Karl, loved every bit of it. Hope to see more train trip videos in the future
Love this type of random adventure. Thanks for showing all the fun
Quality, feels like we are on it with you! Off to Georgia myself next week :)
Loved it .
Fantastic video as always 👍
Epic. Seems like a great bunch of guys to hang out with.
I'll be visiting Istanbul this summer, I can't wait.
Such an enjoyable watch!
Looks like you're having a blast! :)
I actually can't believe you made all those connections on day one and arrived on time in Munich. I would've bet a lot of money on Deutsche Bahn screwing up at least once...
What fun! You should travel with these guys more often :)
Hey Karl! What an awesome trip! ❤
MORE OF THIS PLEASE
I am planning to go to Tbilisi later this year or next year, really glad of your video, it's definitely high up on the list now.
Great watch, I had no idea Nick frost was Irish!
Literally rewatched the channel update about 3 hours ago thinking "well its the end of march now Karl" lmwo
Drinking beer in a great big hall in Germany looks like great fun until that one person gets up and starts ranting.
Edit..Good lord! Salzburg looks rather wonderful!
Especially if they are a failed art student
This video got me excited; I want to make similar trips!
Really loved this.
I am watching your videos since lockdown time. You really makes great video and also share all the info related to trip. Mostly i enjoy your group trip video i have been watched your morroco, pakistan and icland video multiple time. Iceland group trip video is mine personal favourite. If its possible i really wanna join in your group trip😊 love from india ❤
Thanks for watching, I love the Iceland video too 😊
This is my second episode after Slovenia and I will trace back to watch all of yours. Since my listening skill is not that good so I try to catch the lines without sub title and try to find out at Sofia, if I am right, you ask the locals to buy the train tickets for you guys? sorry If I am wrong. I like many parts including when u got help from the Australian lady and also the public bath in Budapest ... cant wait for the 2nd part. Sawasdee !!
Yeah that’s right, you can’t buy the tickets online and we were worried about the train selling out, so we got our local friends to buy them a couple of days early
@@karlwatsondocsAhh I see. 😅
Amazing, loved the vid Karl
Well done Karl. The editing and company meant I sat and enjoyed the journey all the way, Great work mate!
Karl! Absolutely loving this vlog. Just come across this channel and it's really good, especially loving the Beer Hogwarts and the couples massage 😂. You guys should come to Northern Pakistan! Keep up the great editing, voiceovers and background music. Top Class !
ua-cam.com/play/PLi_ubgzYiPgtcG2Xvd44xGAD_mbcpMBSS.html&si=vGBnSHXTjbqqK5sR 😉👍
@@karlwatsondocs I remember seeing this ♥️ coming back for part 2?
Kick ass. Sounds fun and exhausting, lol
I didnt even know that i could reach london in one day by train. Your into reminds me of abroad in japan. Cool video. Greatings from munich. I know videos of ben from nearfromhome. So it was the best guide you can get
Usually you could get "bayern ticket" as well until salzburg eventhough its austria. 3 people would have been around 50 euro in total not each😂
Belgrade city center hasn't changed much since my last trip 6 years ago 😆
Thanks Karl! Cheers!!
Awesome video! can't wait for ep.2!
I actually planned the same trip. To Istanbul. Did not happen. I even thought about going on one of these danube cruises. But somebody told me it's almost retired people only. So I figured I still have some time.
And I enjoyed watching you guys a lot
Watched both 😮 brilliant.brilliant brilliant.😊😂🍺🍾😎👍
Egézségedre!!! 🍻
The fella with the glasses is a dead spit for Lev Schreiber!
Loved this video
Superb guys, lots of alcohol and meat
thanks Karl
Great vlog, love your friends xxx
Good video the 2 guys
My first time watching your channel. I'm sure you get this a lot but oh my goodness to you remind me of Henry Cavill... Swoon ❤
everybody is packed in winter clothes and the brits turn up in their national costume ,SHORT TROUSERS😂👍
