What I Learned From Traveling to 72 Countries
At the end of the video I talked about the possibility of some countries opening up to tourists in the next few months. But apparently New Zealand won't be opening to foreign tourism anytime soon. For now they're only considering opening up to Australians visiting, but nothing is confirmed yet. I'd heard that Croatia might open up on May 18th, but that may only be to visitors from the Czech Republic (not sure how that makes sense since they don't share a border, but that's what someone said). Greece is seriously considering opening up to tourism for the summer, but perhaps that will only be for domestic tourism or only to other Europeans visiting. So for now travel is still basically impossible, but we can hope that things improve enough for some chances to travel later this summer. Feel free to post any travel news you hear below.
Gabriel its hilarious you havent noticed that you yourself have been stuck in an acid trip for the past few years... smh. You need to wake up and realize that you are completely out of it, stop traveling and get a real mans job.
Yes they are totally paranoid and quite willing to destroy one of their largest industries (tourism) for the sake of a dose of the flu. Let's face it...NZ is where all the sheep come from!
Good read on tourism in the near future.

@Dorian Mode Yes it's just a flu haven't you heard of corona virus? Just a flu and the whole pandemic scare is a big HOAX to get people scared and stay in their homes and lose their livelyhood so the pharmasutical scammers can implement the "cure" by way of mandatory vaccine. You will only be allowed to work, shop and ravel with a COVID 19 pass (Certificate Of Vaccination ID).
Wise words from a wise man.
Thanks Nick.
You are among my early inspiration to start Traveling worldwide back in Feb 2016 , i have never looked back.
One of your best videos. This truly shows your passion for travel, life, and people in general. Not just a travel video but a glimpse at you as a person. Thank you for this heartfelt message.
No One ... totally agree ! Cheers
I gave the video a thumbs up because Gabriel pronounced 'route' the correct way.
It can be pronounced either ROOT or ROWT. There is no right way.
It's so true, that you don't need a lot of money! I've been living in Kuala Lumpur for past 2 months and paying $4.66 per night living at a hostel. I'm using kitchen to cook and saving money on food.
Right on, that's super cheap. Sounds like an okay place to be stuck. Do you have any idea when you will leave and where you will go from there?
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Probably until end of May, or maybe even longer. I really like it here and want to explore more of the country once the movement control is over. Don't have a set plan, but I'm enjoying the journey.
A-Train Travels way to go man
Yes, Gabriel, I agree with you! No one will stop me to follow my dream, to travel and vlog like you do, no matter how long it will take me 🤩 Great content, as usual! And it's great you talk while hiking this time. Love this country!
I agree! Gabriel offered a lot of inspirational ideas about living your dreams and finding the money to make it happen.
When I was younger I certainly yearned to travel. Had no car and very little money. I thought to myself if I don't do this now I never will get out of here (my hometown) So a friend and I just decided to hitchhike (back in the 70's) I am so glad I did. We traveled around and camped and as you mentioned, met people that invited us to stay on their land. Only once in the many times I traveled like this I did meet one bad person but we got away from them by hiding out in a soybean field. Otherwise it was great and I would do it again because when that urge comes to go...you just have to go and experience life. I loved it🐱
I enjoy your content Gabriel, you are an inspiration to me, I'm 33 years old single, no kids and managed to travel to 10 countries so far, and will keep pushing. Thank you for your videos , helped me out with my traveling, salute 👍👍💯💯
It has been many years watching you popping up here and there worldwide. Take care and keep up your lifelong journey. Thanks for all the joy of watching your great videos.
This video is one of my favorites… I like to rewatch it many times to keep me focus and grounded from your life advice… Cheers Gabe and keep trucking !
Awesome, glad to hear it.
Thanks Gabe for this video. Pretty much sums it up. You are an inspiration to many of us, and your energy is uplifting through the screen. Look after yourself and keep being a legend! 💓
Thanks for sharing this with us Gabriel.
Loved this Gabriel! Thanks for all these great tips! It was super useful!
Hey Gabriel, hope you're staying safe! I love the scenery you're showing us in Canada! No snow at all here in North Carolina. We had one day of snow earlier this year which then immediately melted. It's nice that you are still able to explore during the global crisis. We're trying to chase down our dreams one bucket-list item at a time. Stay safe and well, Gabriel!
Interesting post , Gabriel ! Thanks for sharing ! Stay safe and well !
You are a living legend! Love how you travel through time and share the oxygen! Congratulations on 30 :=)
You are my inspiration. Thank you Gabriel.
Your words resonated with me back in April of 2020, and I decided to watch this video again today, just three days shy of when it first premiered. Thank you for the inspiration, Gabriel. Your free spirit is appreciated. Cheers!
You're a wealth of information & confidence from all your years of travel and a person who is true to themselves. Enjoy all your videos/experiences - learn so much! Thank you & carry-on. (Toronto, Ont. Canada).
Good video and great advice !
Looks great man. Keep it up
I really ressonate with the message, Gabe. Awesome message especially to young people.. No matter what generation we all need to hear this a little more. Especially the part "things have a way of working out".. I think thats something i would tell my younger self in particular!
Love these getting to know you style blog videos. Just bought your book. Following my thumb! keep it coming!
Outstanding video, thanks for those wise words!
Thank you for being awesome. I enjoy watching your videos. 😎
Thanks for this inspiring talk...was nice to hear. Some people need this push to step outside of the “safe route”
great informative video, thank you.
i'd also add that traveling expands your horizons like nothing else in life, i guess. makes you compare places you've visited with one another. you start to look at things differently, feel things differently. it makes you a great storyteller, too. if there's anything close to books that enrich you in your experience, that would be traveling.
best of luck! and stay safe.
Hey man... You are a inspiration to many including Myself. So well said. Where there is a will there's a way... You journey is incredible... Have been following you since early 2017. Hope to cross the same path in future someday... Keep Rocking... Cheers...
Good reflection. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Anniversary Gabriel !
Thanks, appreciate it.
Amazing video!
Thank you Gabriel! Anything is possible! As always be safe! You are very smart and savvy! Enjoy your videos 😊❤🙏
Thanks for this video, it gives me that push to travel again
Awesome.
Awesome tips Gabe. Definitely have to get off the beaten path. Cheers
You've got the right idea - an inspiration to others! Bravo!
This is great video
What an inspiring speech I enjoyed to be with you in your road.
Gabriel you are the paradigm for many young people, and a good one.
Very good information thanks
Thankyou again another interesting talk xxx
I worked in whistler earlier this year with a work visa. love your wisdom Gabriel. Hoping to do something like you are. thank you
Congratulations for your 30th anniversary. Following you since your first video in Iceland. I’ve been traveling imaginarily thanks to your videos. When you come back to Peru, please do let me know, I’ll be very happy to meet you. Be safe!
Keep up the good work and stay safe.
About 30 years ago there was a newsletter (before internet) called "Dishwasher Pete". He moved around the country with dishwasher jobs, commenting on the bosses and places he worked. And he would just move on when tired of the place or of being abused. He was a good writer, but obviously not one to settle down.
2:45 I agree entirely with the "doing things outside the normal paradigm". In my 20s I had a big urge to travel to non-western countries and see what life was like outside of this bubble. Never regretted that at all, even if I've come back to live a more conventional life afterwards.
Les Whynin places u visited the first?
@@ritom88 first place I visited that got me interested in travel was Australia (which is mostly a westernized country). Then within a few years I went to a few countries in Africa, and to Japan and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Burma).
Keep it up. Be happy.
good job, great advice
It's attractive video. Nice nature. Good video quality. My mind calms down
Happy anniversary🍻 ..Sounds like you had a great 30 years!
I agree fully. I'm looking to get to the woods soon myself. I'm chilling in San Diego right now but north California is looking nice.
Awesome video!! Encouragement for my content. Take it easy!
I like so much your videos my friend. I adore your real and pure way of thinking and talking and travelling. God bless you my friend.
I started followed you when you visited Guatemala.. respect you good man..
Thank you for always bringing hope I want to continue exploring our beautiful world like you do Shalom
One of my boatmates on the Trang An cave tour (Ninh Binh Vietnam) was from Whistler. He used to have a shop repairing smartphones but wanderlust got the better of him, sold the business and decided to go traveling.
Note to self - BE THIS GUY IN THE NEXT LIFE!!! Great show!
Glad you mentioned Vlad Tepes, I also visited the 2 Dracula castles, in Bran and Poenari in Romania. Thank you for this great skiland video! Let's hope for the best. Good luck!
Next time I'll have to go to the real Dracula castle at Poenari. Sounds like it would be an adventure getting there since it's more out of the way than Bran.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Really thank you so much for your answer.I appreciate! You are a good guy! But check it out, maybe its closed , there are bears around. Muchos saludos!
Gabriel stay safe. Been following you for a long time.
Excellent video thank you. I agree totally that travel opens the mind, is a great way to discover culture, history, hoping the world will open its doors again soon.
LOVE YOUR VLOGS
Hey Gabriel, can you make another video where we can share and submit our stories of the countries we've been quarantined at for two months?
Yes! an update would be interesting.
Cool you made it to Whistler, beautiful spot. No need for artificial snow at Whistler Blackcomb, there's still plenty of snow up top. The ski runs go so high up you can actually ski the top area on Canada Day (July 1st!)
I see, good to know. I heard a rumor that the slopes might open up again this season but no idea if that's true.
Great video. Yes, it is still rare among people to live on their own terms. Many only think that they do, when in fact they don't. God bless you for sharing wise visions and spreding positive messages.I really like your channel!
Looks amazing
Great words of wisdom Gabe. While you were talking about going for it, I was thinking the same is true for older folks too. In fact, especially true for someone older. Same words of advice, don't be afraid to do what you've always wanted to do. It just takes a little bit more planning, but where there is a will there is ALWAYS a way. ATB Andi
very good video
I've been to a similar number of countries...as a backpacker and with money...while the former was interesting it was often grim and stressful and the latter was pure heaven.
Now I have to say that being somewhere permanently beckons and I will embrace it.
I want to belong.
I want to live with all 4 seasons.
I want to have a local pub.
Soon enough...it's coming!!!
Hey Gabriel,thanks for this video.I hope it is going to encourage young people to live their travel dreams.Traveling is the thing what is making you ritcher and ritcher,not the money.I totally agree with you!!!!Stay safe everyone and keep explore!!Peace!!
Very well said Gabriel ... I am kind of in the same path
Great vlog gabe , namaste from India ❤️
Very good video
Thanks for the video Gabriel! Go to Hawaii. It might open up in june
Good to know, I'll keep it in mind for sure.
Cheers brother.. Love your videos.. Greetings from, Weymouth.,UK
My trip to Greece in June was cancelled by the airline-because I was planning to go as long as I could get there. No go out of the US. The ferries and flights within Greece were great about issuing refunds and gave me vouchers for the future. Meanwhile it’s a strange feeling being in one place for so long and the foreseeable future.
Thank you so much for the inspiration to travel, the way you are going you can make 50 years.
I've been following you for about 5 years or so, this was your best video ever to me! Hope to see you on Kauai some day ;)
Very cool, glad to hear it. I look forward to going back to Kauai sometime soon hopefully.
Great video and good points, Gabriel! If you find yourself ever in Montana when this is all over, let me know and I'll take you around!
Excellent music for intro ! 👍🍺
Nice video. Stay safe
Since I can't comment on your new videos (which I totally understand why), I just want to say you're an awesome traveler. I really look up to you. We almost had a chance to meet up in Slovenia, I think it was, but it didn't pan out. Possibly sometime in the future. Stay safe, friend!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Have a good one!
Wow nice vlog
Great video and so good explained. We have so much in common. We are about the same age too. I did my first travel in september 1991 and it was lifechanging. I have never stopped travelling since then! 77 countries and been back multiple times to many of them.
I am sharing this on my facebook so that people I know can listen to what i have failed to explain to them before. :-)
Some of us like to work regular jobs and travel vicariously on UA-cam!
Gabriel, a true traveller, not just a tourist.
💞Ciao... Gabriel... Very nice place... So fresh zone... Mille Grazie...Stay safe and healthy... Enjoy the life... 🌹🌹🌹
I can’t wait to get out there travel. Almost done with college!
Well said man sounds really cool I enjoyed this I want to travle the world and I have traveled to Costa Rica and Canadian and I am from the United States. Been to a lot of the states. Culture is so different it’s so cool
It looks like in Switzerland! Beautiful!
Supergerman just on a bigger scale.
@@evelinholmes6401 absolutely!
Hey nice videos I just subscribed! I have been traveling for 5 years and can't stop. I guess it's not a bad addiction to have. Have you always enjoyed traveling during all these years or do you ever get tired of it?
Nice video's.
Nice talk video and good to keep us posted. You are walking through mass tourism site while we see very few people there. I can't understand other travel bloggers who still try to travel until the lock down. The best thing is to be in the country where your passport is from and wait for this to be over.
I was in Whistler around February. A lot more snow than it is in April. Beautiful resort town, but expensive.
i'd like to travel in canada on a yamaha mio, or live like Exploring Alternatives - but Gabriel style, it's the isolation, omg Sir Gabriel is like that fantastic beasts character
You are a FREE soul ❤️❤️❤️
Now you are in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and spring is near you can maybe do one or two videos of you trekking through some nice landscapes. I liked the videos you did in Andorra and Nepal.
You're going to inspire the creation of 20 more travel youtube channels than you already have with this video, down the road, after travel restrictions are lifted. One thing I said to my wife is when countries do start to open back up, and maybe for a while afterwards, the possibility/probability that a foreigner will have to self-isolate for 2 weeks when they arrive in a country before they're allowed to then start moving about- like you did when you first arrived in Canada. How this can be monitored/regulated is another question. For most of us, travel this way is not an option as you can't self-isolate for the first 2 weeks of a 2-week vacation - as soon as u finished self-isolating it would be time to come home. And when you return to your home country, you might have to self-isolate for another 2 weeks. A 2-week vacation automatically turns into a 6-week one and most of us just don't have that kind of time. Having said this, I see Greece, whose economy is heavily summer tourist-dependent, is shooting for a delayed summer start in July that goes into October/November, that is for the travel-related businesses that haven't folded up before then. There's talk of the airlines/airports using a quick-response virus test that passengers must of course pass before they're allowed to fly .... but we'll see if that comes to pass .... We're more worried about picking up the virus in a close-packed plane than anywhere else .... will have to see how 2020 ... and 2021 ... unfolds .....
Yep, those are issues we're going to have to deal with, not looking forward to another two-week quarantine.
I've followed you for years, Gabriel, and appreciate your descriptive powers and the freeform nature of your videos. The big omission in this one, the other side of the coin, is the concept of raising a family. True, I've met couples travelling for years with school-age (or younger) children, but a stable home base surely serves a purpose? If your job lets you get away for a solid month every year, like mine did, you can accumulate a serious back-catalogue of traveller's tales! Good luck with everything, though, and let's hope the after-effects of the virus don't include TOO expensive air travel (although budget fares will surely be history - as they need to be anyway, for environmental reasons).
Gabe please make a video on what you think one should carry with them for full time travel. In One carry on bag one laptop bag and one check in bag. A check list that one can refer to.
Here are some of my videos about what to bring traveling:

The quality always looks amazing!! 👌❤ Is it at 4k go pro right?
Good to hear. This is filmed with a gopro 7 at 1080p, 60fps.
