    Was looking for a guide to Madeira next April and lo and behold Kraig has a guide - someone whose content I've admired for years. I'm not as hardcore a hiker but being from WA it's part of my life and this is super useful since I want to do day hikes.

    Fantastic! Madeira is a unique island. I don't know if this is an American viewpoint that I have, but civil engineers in the US find ways around things, while in Europe, they have no problem going through something. It could be anecdotal, but I've never seen so many tunnels in such a small space. I was told by a local that there are more tunnels in Madeira than in Switzerland. Quite incredible to me.

    • @Xanta91

    Awesome. I was there last October and thought nothing could better The Narrows Day hike in Zion, but the PR1 was outstanding. The fantastic sunrise, clouds, fog moving over dead trees in the valley, etc enhanced this hike to the next level.

    What were some of the places you personally connected to the most? Not necessarily the most visually beautiful, but the places that gave you that indefinable, special feeling few places do?
    I feel like that would be a good topic for you to share with your audience. Maybe a Top 10, or even a Top 5, list.

    Really hope this channel can influence future travel vloggers how to provide value to the viewer. UA-cam algo pushes too much of the blast music, poor/no mic, slap in drone footage w/o geolocation. Please keep inserting those useful tips (eg, eSim provider for wayfinding). Im curious if you have any “go-to” resources for researching travel target destinations.
    New sub here, loving your content. Thanks for doing what you do!

    Check Azores islands. Pico island, going to the top is a challenge, and some other islands can be a great escape for your videos with the landscape silence. More rainny than in the postcards but the beautiful greens need water. Congrats for the great videos.

      Renting an automatic car in Europe is usually much more expensive than renting a manual car. He would probably pay half the price for a manual. Most people still drive a stick over here.
