@@themissdior1235 I visited village off my older relatives lately ...when i was there 30 years ago it had like 50 different shops and cafes ...it was live place with people all around..buildings and houses were in good shape . But when i was there few weeks ago it was totally different picture ...road to there was with holes...it was clearly not fixed for some time..off that 50 shops 80% were completely abandoned for long time ,building are in bad condition ..many abandoned also completely. My relatives are now old..they are close to 90 years old...but their children and grandchildren are gone to cities and will not return ..their children sell their apartment for like 1/5 off price that is in town for same size but no one want to buy it . Young people dont want to live in villages ..even with beautiful nature and stuff ..so they are left to die....its just proces that in west already happened long time ago ..when i drive in west europe you dont see villages on road for long time . ...in Serbia villages were everywhere ..you almost always drive try some place ..also Serbia has now lower population then 30 years ago ..more people die then they are born

Gabriel, I have traveled extensively for 50 years and want to tell you that You are doing a wonderful job on not only showing viewers the places you visit but also being very informed about the rich histories that accompany them! Keep up the great work!
What started off on an iffy year for travelling has turned out to be a dream come true during this whirlwind tour of the former Yugoslavia. Other than the crowded beaches it's been your calling. Perfect weather, low crowds and very surprising scenes. This is your life Gabriel Morris!
Felix Romuliana is great but there are much more important roman sites in Serbia which needs more recognition. As example google these terms: Viminacium, Sirmium, Naissus Mediana, etc...
Dear Gabriel, wellcome to Serbia, town Niš. I can't belive, you was a few hundreds metars near at our house. Thank you for presentation our country and Balkan's State's together. You saw hairraising tower, it building with Serbian's head's from 1809. We paid much expensiv our freedom. Only in one town-Sremska Mitrovica, were born 7 Rome's imperators. In Niš-famous imperator Constantin, in Lebane-Justinian etc. We are on this area from Vinča (8000BC) to today. I wishing to you nice trip and evrything the Best. God blessing to you
@IM southfruit No they weren't. It was the Austrians who started the Illyrian Albanian claim for policital reasons - before that the Albanians (Shqiptars - in their own language) were clueless. The Croats and Serbs - especially in Dalmatia - had an Illyrian movement LONG before the notion was put into Albanians' heads. Further, the Austrians were calling Serbs Illyrian people in their documents in the 18th century. Also, the people in this part of Serbia were Thracians. And Serbs and other South "Slavs' are shown by DNA and haplogroups to have been there much longer than the Germanic claims. The Byzantines were REMOVING South Slavs who were SETTLED all over Greece and Macedonia - even in the southern parts - in the 7th century, and bringing in Armenians, Syrians and people from Italy to replace them. Albanians weren't mentioned until the 11th century and they were brought into the Balkans by the Byzantines as mercenaries.
@IM southfruit Albanians were not mentioned until the 11th century and they were mercenaries in the Byzantine attack on the young Serbian Empire. They lost but didn't return (to Sicily where they had been settled earlier by Arabs in the parts they controlled). There is an "Albania" in the Caucasus in 800 A.D. Albanian language is similar in syntax and grammar to the Caucasus language. Albanian also has sounds that are common in the Caucasus by uncommon in Europe. The South Slavs of Herzegovina are almost pure I2a1b2 and they have NO Albanian language influence whatsoever. There were also CELTIC and THRACIAN tribes in the parts where THIS video was filmed. Serbs called themselves Rascians. Take of the 'Th' in Thracians and you get very similar words. Also the SOUTH Slavs have Dinaric aspects to their look and HEIGHT. Even the GREEKS and others wrote of how tall the people in Illyria were. The Albanians are generally shorter than average.
@IM southfruit Albanian didn't even have a written form until much LATER than South Slavic language. Also the Albanian language doesn't have any of its own original marine words, while the Illyrians were seafarers. Albanian is also weak in FARMING words but it is rich in MOUNTAIN words. Albanians originated from a mountainous area and not around the sea.
Albanians do not have a single historical monument that would confirm their history here, and it is interesting that in almost the entire Balkans there are toponyms of Slovenian (Illyrian) roots. Relatively the same language is spoken from the Black Sea to Triglav, from Subotica to Djevdjelija !!! !!
Amazing. Plenty of us need to visit more sites we've never been to in our own countries. The guy wanted to buy you a drink so you two could drink together and have a little talk while you're at it. Just gotta add this in the end. These people you met down south are really poor, even for our standards, yet I feel so proud of how warm and welcoming they are, even though they have no idea who you are. Great people.
I have nothing but respect for you brother! Helping a snail cross the street in one of your videos a few weeks ago, to offering a man money who looked like he was in need of it. Stand up guy, good for you Gabriel! Much love from Milwaukee brother!
Hi Gabriel, That fortress or Roman Palace is just a testament of the Roman Empire the vast expansion and building ingenuity that today is still taught to architects and engineers everywhere in the world.
Gabriel, I have been following you for a good 3 years now, I always appreciated you for who you are and what you do, you are a legend to me i watch your videos over and over every day, thanks for entering our lives in the best way possible, best of luck for the future 😊
Thank you for going off the beaten track. It’s so interesting for me. Haven’t been home for 20 years and I’m seeing some stuff for the first time. Greetings from Australia.
Very old area. Reminds me of my trip to Tunisia (Carthage) mosaics 2000 yrs old. Puppies cute. Local man, looked like he just wanted to be friends. Nice. Keep traveling. Stay safe....🌐
I’ve always been afraid to travel to Serbia because of perceived animosity towards Americans but your videos have convinced me otherwise. Very warm and welcoming people, it seems if you put out respect you will get it back. Serbs seem like a lovely people
You can visit some of this places: 1. Krupajsko vrelo (Beautiful nature) 2. Pačir banja (Pink lake) 3. Uvac (Amazing river) 4. Golubačka tvrđava (Big fortress) This is some of my favorite places but you have much much more to explore if you have time. Good luck, bro!🇷🇸
Hello from Missouri! We are fairly new to your channel and one reason we chose to watch your travel vlogs over others is because we do not want to hear profanity and we do not want to see scantily clad women at the beaches. Thank you for the most part. Glad to see you have included showing a bit more of the flora in the various countries in which you travel. Thank you!
The first time I saw a video of yours was one here in Sofia, Bulgaria(I assume that's why youtube suggested it to me). It's funny how I kept watching for so long and now you are almost back here again :) I'm glad you are interested in and like our weird corner of the world.
You aren't missing a thing in the US right now it's only about COVID, hurricane Sally, and the damn election. Thank you, I've watched for years now, just love ya🤙
Perhaps if you live in a world crafted by the mainstream media narrative.. Maybe you should turn off the TV once in a while and go enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. It's good for your mental health. Everywhere has its own problems. But I doubt Gabe traveled to Serbia to concern himself with the ongoing political issues there.
He also isn’t missing the poor air quality in Northern California due to wildfires as that is the area he is from! Hope his Northern California relatives are doing okay!
If you are still in Eastern Serbia consider visiting Negotin and more importantly Rajačke and Rogljevačke "pimnice" (vine cellars). They are not really easy to reach up in the hills, but it's well worth it for sure!
In this Area which you are travelling there were 17 Emperors Born. You are moving between an Autochtone Ancient Proto Slavic Culture which is going back to the Roman Republic and Beyond, I mean 5000 Years Before Christ. We Serbian have an OLD Kalender, and we are Living in the Year 7128 believe it or not. Enjoy your Stay, I think you do it anyway because also of the affordable Prices. My Name is Raco Jevtovic and I am follower and Fan over 8 Years.
@packsaddlemaker Maybe this Helps a little to rethink about it: galaksijanova.rs/srpski-kalendar/ Bevor the Gregorian Calender was used by the Serbs this was the actuell Calender. I also dont believed it but I made my researches about it, and the Serbian Church and Historiens confirmed that Fact.
@packsaddlemaker pozdrav brate, Bog ti pomogao! Naravno da postoji stari Srpski kalendar, malo se bolje raspitaj i o staroj Srpskoj kulturi pa ćeš saznati mnogo toga zanimljivog ! Zdravo ostaj!

if you are already in this part of serbia i would recommend to you to go to vratna and some other places around there afterwards u could drive back to the airport with the road next to the danube
Dear Gabriel, watching your vlogs, thank you very much. Highly recommendation are serbian medieval orthodox monasteries protected by UNESCO as world heritage built by serbian kings from 11th to 13th century such as Sopoćani, Djurdjevi stupovi, Studenica, Župa, Mileševa, Ravanica, Petrova crkva (Peter's church) and on Kosovo Gračanica, Visoki Dečani, Bogorodica Ljeviška, Stara patrijaršija...
Great video, as always! If you have time, be sure to visit monastery Manasija and Lisine waterfall near Despotovac town. Also, Eastern Serbia is magical and fascinating region to explore.
sadly many places in easterm and southern parts of Serbia do look like a ghost towns in USA...Very run down and deserted. I think that Serbia need to have at least 10million people and to be very nicely dispersed so that many small town come to life...
If you do, check out all the things that you can do in the city, because there is so much to see. There are a lot of historical landmarks, as well as natural beauties, which are not mentioned in these videos. Also, food is delicious in the local restaurants, so make sure to try food in 'kafana'. If you have more time, check Pirot and its surroundings, it only 70 km away from Nis. :)
Did you go to the tumuli on a nearby hill? This is were Galerius and his mother were buried. Beautiful ancient Roman site. Little did those builders and artists know how 2000 years later their work will still be admired. lol
The man @ 18.57 did not ask for money. He wanted to offer you a drink. He said, "I do not understand you", but mimicking an invite for the drink. People in Serbia always welcome quests and share their food and drinks, and always offer better portions to their guests. They are very well known for that. And people with a similar nature are all over the Balkans. Sad...
Hi from Niš Serbia. I'm a recent follower. If you need any help i will be happy to help. Do you need any translations or suggestions? Keep up the good work.
Gabriel, Niš is also an ancient Roman city, Naissus. Serb that exploded the armory was Stevan Sindjelić and he was one of the leaders in the First Serbian Uprising against Ottoman oppression. There are more interesting things, both ruin and religious, down south in Kosovo. Please check and read about accessing those sites before traveling, as some that you choose to visit, might not be officially in Serbian territory (not to go into too much detail, just do your homework). Also, there are very nice places to visit along the river Ibar which is west of Niš. You can come up north to Belgrade and/or Novi Sad when you are done exploring south by using this road along Ibar river called Ibarska Magistrala. On another note, out of respect and just in general so you can access some of these sites (if you decide to visit), please wear trousers and closed toe shoes. You will not be able to enter in shorts and sandals. Good luck and have fun!
Serbian (Sombor) superstar Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets just defeated the LA Clippers to play for the Western NBA championship against the LA Lakers. Jokic led the team. He's an outstanding shooter from short and l-o-n-g range, and last night's TV crew called him the greatest big man passer of all time. He is probably the MVP of the western playoffs so far. I bet there are a lot of Serbian basketball fans following the Nuggets during these playoffs.
+Rocco> Yes, but he is ranked No.1 and is expected to win. Jokic and his team overcame all odds to win last night. Indeed there are other Serbs in popularity ahead of him, BUT he will be rising fast.
Yes, Denver Nuggets have the most fans in Serbia out of all NBA teams.We're talking about hardcore basketball fans. The last semifinal game against LA Clippers began at 3 a.m Serbian time and still a lot of fans were watching the game.
If they're not already on your list, back in Belgrade Beli Dvor (The white palace), Underground belgrade tour, Tesla museum in Belgrade, national museum in Belgrade, the rest of Serbia, national park Tara, Oplenac,Golubac fortress, Uvac River meanders, archeological site of Vinča, archeological site Lepenski vir..... Anybody else have any suggestions.......
You never make friends with locals- I think You miss a lot... (I don't mean the marker guys type). Probably it's just a precaution not to get in the trouble. But sometimes it's the best adventure to get in the trouble))
In looking for more info on Felix Romuliana I stumbled upon a cool VR site called History in 3D. They have a section on this place illustrating how it probably would have appeared in its day. Also they have a nifty UA-cam video taking you through the place. Search "Felix Romuliana in 3D" and it shouldn't be hard to find.
A blessed good day sir Gabriel Wowww nice Roman Ruins I'm so impressive the skull museum incredible and full of Roman History and nice Historical Walls and quiet places to.wak around and incredible City of Serbia thank u so much sir Gabe, for your another Excellent Walk around tour video in a beautiful Country of Serbia keep safe Take Care Godbless u sir Gabe from your solid fan supporter viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 🇵🇭👏🙏👍🙂 👏👏👏👏👏💕💕👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙂🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just a suggestion from me, I think the videos would be better without any music, I feel it takes away from the seriousness of some situations, like the tower of skulls
Between Niš and Zaječar is Knjaževac(seen in the clip).There is the Gurgusovačka tower in it,which was a prison during the Ottoman Empire. Nearby of the road to Zaječar is the village Ravna.It contains the remains of the Roman military fortress Timacum Minus. When you go from Knjaževac to Pirot,there is the village Donja Kamenica,where there is an Orthodox church from the 14th century by an unknown founder.
Hey Gabriel, I am your neighbor ( northern California resident) I need your help. I am flying solo and I am 200 years old , LOL~ to Serbia the first week of October. In your honest opinion , will it be safe to go to Serbia alone by myself? I plan on renting a car and just drive around Serbia. What is the likelihood of my return flight being cancelled? I checked State Department website and travel advisory suggest essential travel (level 3) to Serbia. I don't trust state department website sometimes. I've been to places where they were not right as far as travel advisory is concerned. I'd rather trust your honest opinion and also from travel bloggers who are now in Serbia. Am desperate to get away from the fire and this crazy election.Heck, I'd even go to Pluto if I can just to be away from all these chaos especially from California.
Yeah you should be good man, gotta be better than the virus, election mayhem and daily smoke inhalation back in Cali. Plus it's so affordable out here. I rented my car from Sixt and can recommend them, only $25 a day. I booked rooms on booking.com on the same day I needed them, sometimes just a few minutes before I arrived in town. So you can just drive around and explore and you'll have a great time. Safe travels.
mel, welcome to Serbia! I am so glad that you will visit my country. I was in many countries in Europe and I think Serbia is so safe for travelling and visiting, better than in many countries. My suggestion is to see the fresco White Angel, this is the first picture that was sent as a message in the first satellite broadcast signal from Europe to America after the Cuban Missile Crisis, as a symbol of peace and civilization. Read here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Angel
Thanks Gabriel. Just a small correction. I am a 200 year old woman Traveling to Serbia alone , so that explains my so many questions. LOL .thanks for the tip from a seasoned traveler like you.
I asked him about it and the brickwork was reconstructed. None of the original ruins from the 4th century BC can be seen, it's all buried in the ground. But much of the rock walls, etc. are original from Roman times.
It freaked me out how abandoned and ruined that place looks like... no wonder the guy sits in front of the market and drink himself to death... seems a daily routine for him... didn’t mean no harm though. 😔 didn’t catch the name of that place...
In that area was very developed agricultural in past and 1989 small airfield was build for agricultural planes for spraying mostly cherry, vineyard plantation...For that purpose that plane(PZL-104 Wilga 35A) you saw in video was bought from USA for 60 000 $. That place has big plans for big modern airfield in future, but didn't happen. Now plane is there just like a monument to remind on better times.
I’m learning more history on Gabriel’s channel then back 40 years in school. Always looking forward for the next video

Covid is an HOAX ! Wake up !
@@gertjanvandermeij4265 This is not the place for your political views. You either just comment on the video or get lost.
@@EvaOwen hehe
You need to visit a Golubac fortress, it’s beautiful. 🙂
Gabriel's Instagram shows that he did. My guess is that video should be out in the near future.
Yep, next video. It's not far from Felix Romuliana so it worked into my trip perfectly.
Gabriel Traveler Yes, I'm glad to hear that. Enjoy touring Serbia.
Scary tower man!.. I enjoyed your trip 👍🙏
Great stuff,
Keep it going 😀😀
I hope someday to make a trip to Serbia...but until then I at least have your coverage...thanks so much...
You're awesome brother
Thank you
Much Aroha

Ciao.. Gabriel.. Amazing... Wonderful.. Place... Mille grazie 🍀
Hi Gab, I am watching from Nepal. LOVE from Nepal.
If you are still in Eastern Serbia consider visiting Negotin and more importantly Rajačke and Rogljevačke "pimnice" (vine cellars). They are not really easy to reach up in the hills, but it's well worth it for sure!
... what a show 🤣🤣🤣 ... compliments ... just keep going Gabriel, ... all the best to you 👍👍👍
In this Area which you are travelling there were 17 Emperors Born. You are moving between an Autochtone Ancient Proto Slavic Culture which is going back to the Roman Republic and Beyond, I mean 5000 Years Before Christ. We Serbian have an OLD Kalender, and we are Living in the Year 7128 believe it or not. Enjoy your Stay, I think you do it anyway because also of the affordable Prices. My Name is Raco Jevtovic and I am follower and Fan over 8 Years.
Thanks for the info and for following Raco!
@packsaddlemaker Maybe this Helps a little to rethink about it: galaksijanova.rs/srpski-kalendar/
Bevor the Gregorian Calender was used by the Serbs this was the actuell Calender. I also dont believed it but I made my researches about it, and the Serbian Church and Historiens confirmed that Fact.
@packsaddlemaker pozdrav brate, Bog ti pomogao! Naravno da postoji stari Srpski kalendar, malo se bolje raspitaj i o staroj Srpskoj kulturi pa ćeš saznati mnogo toga zanimljivog ! Zdravo ostaj!

That guy 19:08 offered you a drink as his treat, he did not want your money 😊 thanks for these videos, we love to have you here 🌹
Thanks for visit my country your always welcome to come again .
Thanks. ✌️
Enjoyed the video, cheers
if you are already in this part of serbia i would recommend to you to go to vratna and some other places around there
afterwards u could drive back to the airport with the road next to the danube
Dear Gabriel, watching your vlogs, thank you very much. Highly recommendation are serbian medieval orthodox monasteries protected by UNESCO as world heritage built by serbian kings from 11th to 13th century such as Sopoćani, Djurdjevi stupovi, Studenica, Župa, Mileševa, Ravanica, Petrova crkva (Peter's church) and on Kosovo Gračanica, Visoki Dečani, Bogorodica Ljeviška, Stara patrijaršija...
@@30sandrita1 Saw it now... great!
Interesting to see the food you buy at the market.
Not necessarily what I wanted but more a matter of picking what's there and will do the trick. The halva was a nice surprise though, delicious.
@@30sandrita1 Halva is actually an Arabic sweet.
Great video, as always! If you have time, be sure to visit monastery Manasija and Lisine waterfall near Despotovac town.
Also, Eastern Serbia is magical and fascinating region to explore.
sadly many places in easterm and southern parts of Serbia do look like a ghost towns in USA...Very run down and deserted.
I think that Serbia need to have at least 10million people and to be very nicely dispersed so that many small town come to life...
@@MrJx4000 nah it's not war it is economic migration
@@BJN87M : Original inhabitants are in Germany or Belgrade ?
Loving this trip!
it's creepy how old it is... 1700 years man, enough said
Nis looks amazing! I'll definitely be heading there next month!
Also make sure to go to Subotica. I didn't make it there but wanted to see it, looks like one of the coolest places to see in Serbia.
Gabriel Traveler thanks a lot bro! I'll definitely stop by! Safe travels!
If you do, check out all the things that you can do in the city, because there is so much to see. There are a lot of historical landmarks, as well as natural beauties, which are not mentioned in these videos. Also, food is delicious in the local restaurants, so make sure to try food in 'kafana'. If you have more time, check Pirot and its surroundings, it only 70 km away from Nis. :)
Two thumbs up classic vid!!
Did you go to the tumuli on a nearby hill? This is were Galerius and his mother were buried. Beautiful ancient Roman site. Little did those builders and artists know how 2000 years later their work will still be admired. lol
4:34 Don't touch those plants. They might be a variety of Deadly Nightshade.
The man @ 18.57 did not ask for money. He wanted to offer you a drink. He said, "I do not understand you", but mimicking an invite for the drink. People in Serbia always welcome quests and share their food and drinks, and always offer better portions to their guests. They are very well known for that. And people with a similar nature are all over the Balkans. Sad...
You should also maybe check out Viminacium if you are interested in Roman sites. It's near the town of Kostolac.
Hi from Niš Serbia. I'm a recent follower. If you need any help i will be happy to help. Do you need any translations or suggestions? Keep up the good work.
Nice you went back and offered money even though he didn't take it! It shows you care about others probably much less fortunate than yourself.
They don't make 'em like Gabriel anymore. We the viewers should have him knighted.
the guy offered gabriel a beer, he didn't want any money in the first place. he offered him something, he didn't ask for anything.
Well after i wached a video i know you'll be back here again in the future ✋
impressive tour. very interesting bit of history. you are all alone amazing. not hundreds of people crunching you and 'free'.
In Knjaževac in the village of Ravna, there is the same Roman plant Timacum minus .... Worth a look .. 👍👍👍
Gabriel, Niš is also an ancient Roman city, Naissus. Serb that exploded the armory was Stevan Sindjelić and he was one of the leaders in the First Serbian Uprising against Ottoman oppression. There are more interesting things, both ruin and religious, down south in Kosovo. Please check and read about accessing those sites before traveling, as some that you choose to visit, might not be officially in Serbian territory (not to go into too much detail, just do your homework). Also, there are very nice places to visit along the river Ibar which is west of Niš. You can come up north to Belgrade and/or Novi Sad when you are done exploring south by using this road along Ibar river called Ibarska Magistrala.
On another note, out of respect and just in general so you can access some of these sites (if you decide to visit), please wear trousers and closed toe shoes. You will not be able to enter in shorts and sandals. Good luck and have fun!
These kind of places always creep me out.
Serbian (Sombor) superstar Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets just defeated the LA Clippers to play for the Western NBA championship against the LA Lakers. Jokic led the team. He's an outstanding shooter from short and l-o-n-g range, and last night's TV crew called him the greatest big man passer of all time. He is probably the MVP of the western playoffs so far. I bet there are a lot of Serbian basketball fans following the Nuggets during these playoffs.
Can't forget Serbia's biggest star Novak Djokovic.
+Rocco> Yes, but he is ranked No.1 and is expected to win. Jokic and his team overcame all odds to win last night. Indeed there are other Serbs in popularity ahead of him, BUT he will be rising fast.
Yes, Denver Nuggets have the most fans in Serbia out of all NBA teams.We're talking about hardcore basketball fans.
The last semifinal game against LA Clippers began at 3 a.m Serbian time and still a lot of fans were watching the game.
If they're not already on your list, back in Belgrade Beli Dvor (The white palace), Underground belgrade tour, Tesla museum in Belgrade, national museum in Belgrade, the rest of Serbia, national park Tara, Oplenac,Golubac fortress, Uvac River meanders, archeological site of Vinča, archeological site Lepenski vir..... Anybody else have any suggestions.......
Bio je na Tari. :) The most important things in Serbia are monasteries.
@@abstractionart3736 yeah, I just saw I missed his Tara trip
You never make friends with locals- I think You miss a lot... (I don't mean the marker guys type). Probably it's just a precaution not to get in the trouble. But sometimes it's the best adventure to get in the trouble))
In looking for more info on Felix Romuliana I stumbled upon a cool VR site called History in 3D. They have a section on this place illustrating how it probably would have appeared in its day. Also they have a nifty UA-cam video taking you through the place. Search "Felix Romuliana in 3D" and it shouldn't be hard to find.
Thank you Gabriel! 😎😊❤
Just great Gabriel 👍🍻
Love Serbia! man
The road to Rome is a long journey. Viminatio, Sirmium, Pannonia.
I visited Sirmium, but it was a fail: ua-cam.com/video/jLA8KQ5Ew5o/v-deo.html
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thanks, at this late hour.
You should visit Viminacium also
Gabriel 👍👍👍👍👍
19:08 drunk as.. he said I don’t understand but 👍🏻 funny
Communication breakdown.

He wants to buy you a beer 😊
Nice
Nice videos of Serbia. Thank you.
Cool architecture
A blessed good day sir Gabriel Wowww nice Roman Ruins I'm so impressive the skull museum incredible and full of Roman History and nice Historical Walls and quiet places to.wak around and incredible City of Serbia thank u so much sir Gabe, for your another Excellent Walk around tour video in a beautiful Country of Serbia keep safe Take Care Godbless u sir Gabe from your solid fan supporter viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 🇵🇭👏🙏👍🙂 👏👏👏👏👏💕💕👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙂🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just a suggestion from me, I think the videos would be better without any music, I feel it takes away from the seriousness of some situations, like the tower of skulls
Favourite buddy of Millions
Why don’t you do the “How Expensive is...” series anymore?
Between Niš and Zaječar is Knjaževac(seen in the clip).There is the Gurgusovačka tower in it,which was a prison during the Ottoman Empire.
Nearby of the road to Zaječar is the village Ravna.It contains the remains of the Roman military fortress Timacum Minus.
When you go from Knjaževac to Pirot,there is the village Donja Kamenica,where there is an Orthodox church from the 14th century by an unknown founder.
Super
Hey Gabriel, I am your neighbor ( northern California resident) I need your help. I am flying solo and I am 200 years old , LOL~ to Serbia the first week of October. In your honest opinion , will it be safe to go to Serbia alone by myself? I plan on renting a car and just drive around Serbia. What is the likelihood of my return flight being cancelled? I checked State Department website and travel advisory suggest essential travel (level 3) to Serbia. I don't trust state department website sometimes. I've been to places where they were not right as far as travel advisory is concerned. I'd rather trust your honest opinion and also from travel bloggers who are now in Serbia. Am desperate to get away from the fire and this crazy election.Heck, I'd even go to Pluto if I can just to be away from all these chaos especially from California.
Yeah you should be good man, gotta be better than the virus, election mayhem and daily smoke inhalation back in Cali. Plus it's so affordable out here. I rented my car from Sixt and can recommend them, only $25 a day. I booked rooms on booking.com on the same day I needed them, sometimes just a few minutes before I arrived in town. So you can just drive around and explore and you'll have a great time. Safe travels.
mel, welcome to Serbia! I am so glad that you will visit my country. I was in many countries in Europe and I think Serbia is so safe for travelling and visiting, better than in many countries. My suggestion is to see the fresco White Angel, this is the first picture that was sent as a message in the first satellite broadcast signal from Europe to America after the Cuban Missile Crisis, as a symbol of peace and civilization. Read here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Angel
Thanks Gabriel. Just a small correction. I am a 200 year old woman Traveling to Serbia alone , so that explains my so many questions. LOL .thanks for the tip from a seasoned traveler like you.
@@abstractionart3736 Hey Looking forward to visit Serbia. It looks good so far from other travel bloggers videos I have watched during this pandemic.
Very well.👍
Please show your ROOM in every video PLEASE ! Greetings !
Actually I filmed my room for the night but it will be in the next video. Lots of room tours coming up, and food.
the builders of the ruins need to give our modern builders a tip or too! all that brickwork still standing well
I asked him about it and the brickwork was reconstructed. None of the original ruins from the 4th century BC can be seen, it's all buried in the ground. But much of the rock walls, etc. are original from Roman times.
LOL that dude wanted to get drunk with you
That's what I figured. But I was on a mission.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos yea he wanted to pay a beer for you.
Beer, ghost towns and rental cars are a risky combination.
It freaked me out how abandoned and ruined that place looks like... no wonder the guy sits in front of the market and drink himself to death... seems a daily routine for him... didn’t mean no harm though. 😔 didn’t catch the name of that place...
Stepping up the BGM Game 🔥🔥!!
16:58 "Remember the Alamo!" :>)
That airplane parked by the road looked like it might have crashed. I wonder what its story was.....
In that area was very developed agricultural in past and 1989 small airfield was build for agricultural planes for spraying mostly cherry, vineyard plantation...For that purpose that plane(PZL-104 Wilga 35A) you saw in video was bought from USA for 60 000 $. That place has big plans for big modern airfield in future, but didn't happen. Now plane is there just like a monument to remind on better times.
@@ivancheyt Thanks for the explanation!
That guy on 19:00 wanted to pay you for one drink but unfortunately he doesn't speak English.
Interesting ruins.
he wanted to buy you a drink
