      Hi Simon, hope you get to see this. Been watching your vids since near the beggining, love your videos. As a theme going foward I'd love to see you go by a theme of "Simon tries" and really challenge yourself to indulge in the culture of different countries including activities and food. Would make great viewing. I used to be a vegetarian at age of 18 and found myself eating a chicken head in the phillipeenes not so long back. Either way though best of look with your chanel 😁🤙

      Agree great idea! Maybe stay a few days and then on to the next place. In fact that could be a challenge. You have to get to 7 different cities in 14 days staying two days at each place (not including your travel day).
      RULES:
      1.Every second day you have to move to a different place. The place will be determined by your Uber driver depending on what country or city he is from.
      2. The city has to be a minimum of 200 miles away. If the distance is too short to go by flight then you have to go by plane.
      3. If you find out that you cannot fly because of COVID restrictions you have to chose another Uber driver and start again. Also if you require visas to travel to the country and you cannot get them immediately you will need to choose a different destination.
      4. You can use subscribers for places to stay.
      Good Luck.

    Mad how you just fly to where your driver is from. So random and mega spontaneous. But very cool. I'd probably be worried if I hadn't had any accommodation booked. I expected these flights on such short notice to be more expensive. Regarding the car change in Romania, I could imagine if he goes with his taxi he may have to pay tax on anything he makes on it. If he drives you round in his private car he may get around it, noone can really proof it... I hope you will do some more of these challenges, maybe next hop on a night sleeper train and go somewhere, that would be interesting to see how you find that (I've done it and it was an adventure and an experience) G'nite SJW!

Long story short I had to take 1 PCR test, PLFs and other stupid documents for Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands (even if I both had covid and vaccine). To come back to Italy I paid €45 for a RAPID TEST, as that shit was mandatory, otherwise either I could'nt board or I'd have been obliged to do a selfquarantine of 5 days back home. Also, nobody was supposed to put the jacket on the plane thingy on top which idk the name lol and I had to put ot on my legs for the whole flight.

    He swapped cars as he has to give the cab firm a cut so he will have told the company he took you to that car park then clocked off so by swapping he got more cash in his back pocket. Especiallly as his shift would have been over way earlier then he drove you for its fair dos.

    Hi lad! I did erupt in a laugh when I saw the name of the second driver and especially when you pronounced it to sound like you'd say ”doughnut” hahahahahaha!!! I knew immediately that he's Romanian and I was more surprised when I heard that he's from Bacău and you'll be landing on Iași, the city of my student life. No offence but it is such a shame to hear that so many foreign tourists have no clue about this city, the second-largest city of Romania (coming after Bucharest), the only city - apart of Bucharest - that was the capital of Romania for a short period, the Romanian city of culture and art where most of the cultural celebrities of Romania were born or activated - in one word; jewellery! Hopefully, you'll pay it a visit to discover it, lad. :D My greetings from Liverpool (actually St Helens - Merseyside). When you'll be back in Manchester maybe you'll be down for a beer as you'll be just a half-hour away from driving. Take care.

    Hi Simon! I am SO glad to see new video by you. I watch your old videos every once in a while cause they remind me why I go to work - to travel just like you! My favorite videos by you are 7 world wonders in 7 days and also the one when you took a ship cruise from Oslo to Copenhagen (and back). I love travelling, especially by the sea! I am from Estonia and I love to take those short ship cruises from Tallinn to Stockholm and back - just like you did from Norway to Denmark. Anyway, I wish you all the best. Hope that one day you come and discover the Baltic States (especially Estonia, cause we are the coolest!!! - we invited Skype and we have more fashion models per capita than any other country in the world ;) ;) ).

      @MJ-hb8sk 2 роки тому +6

      It's just a rule in Rome, so while you're in the airport. Once the plane has taken off I'm assuming it's no longer required.
