    Thanks! This really feels like being there. Love the street art and murals. It's one thing we just don't see as much of in the U.S. as in other places. Paris had great street art and I miss being around it. Happy trails! Hope Spain is treating you well. I'm looking forward to videos of what there is going on there!

    Seems kind of odd that a very cold country would be way into ice cream. But, I also prefer eating ice cream during the winter months and not during the summer. Maybe it has to do with the body wanting to take in the fat and calories so you have plenty to help keep you warm.

    Hello Gabriel, I have ordered GoPro Hero 5 from Amazon along with 64GB microsd card. I'm traveling to Nepal during Christmas holidays. Do you think 64GB is enough for 1 week trekking, say if I use my camera for 2-4 hours/ day? If 64gb is not enough, I would buy one more memory card. I have no idea about GoPro cameras or their video size.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  8 років тому

      I'm not sure about the GoPro 5 but they do use up quite a lot of space so I would suggest getting another 64gb just to be safe. You don't want to run out of room to record while in such an epic place. Which trek are you doing?

I still want to make sure its safe to walk in the dark. Since it has long dark day, does impact travel. I want to go in October. I want to see Northern light. I hope I can do both. I know NL depends on nature. want to make sure sightseeing is not impact by long dark days

Strokkur Geyser, Gullfoss Waterfall, the Blue Lagoon, etc. are all VERY fun locations in Iceland. Take it from someone who has gone, it's a trip you won't regret taking.

I was there a few weeks ago and can't wait to go back again. Lots of interesting friendly people and full of Muslim culture. You can do a day trip to Essaouira pretty cheap from Marrakech but in hind-site I would recommend staying a few days. It's gorgeous. I know why Jimi Hendrix loved it so much! Africa is amazing.

    Very nice. BUT: 3 million tourists visit each year, assume that every destination / attraction will be inundated with tourists (unless you go walking in the extremities). Most of the attractions I found, quite frankly, pretty underwhelming. And expensive?!?! Like nowhere else on Earth, makes NYC look like a budget destination. Its a once-in-a-lifetime destination, i.e. never again.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 років тому +3

      I guess I'll get a silver play button, so that's pretty cool. And I can apply to get the official check mark thingy. As for how much you make, it isn't so much about subscribers as it is how many views you're getting. For example if you check socialblade.com you'll see I'm getting about four times as many views per month as Hey Nadine, even though she has more than three times as many subscribers as me. Then if you figure people make about $1.50 per 1,000 views you can get a rough idea of how much someone is making per month.
