favorite bus trips for me where when i was a little kid, used to take bus trips with my grandma from Cd. Juarez Chihuahua to Parral chihuahua, about a 9 hour bus ride back then, we used to leave at night and wake up at our destination hehe to me as a little kid this was magical, go to sleep in one city wake up in another :-)
That's such a lovely memory, especially to have with your grandma. That would definitely be magical to wake up in a new city - it kind of still is! ;) I really enjoyed all the bus travel we did in Mexico. Such comfy buses and amazing to get a bag of food and a drink for the journey!
My favourite bus trip was winding through the mountains of Norway, after seeing the fjords. You're right, it's such a wonderful way to see the countryside. Glad you are enjoying your travels xo
Wow, I didn't know you have come to Colombia! I am Colombian, and it makes me really happy to see your video ^^ I actually used your Wroclaw Christmas Video as a guide to go there in 2018. And that's how I got to your channel 😁
Jeez, that was excellent! Where did 4.5 minutes go? The photography, editing and music were sooo good! You guys really nail the vibe of a place….And it was mostly a bus ride! Your videos rock… Some of the best on UA-cam IMO!
WOW! 8 hours on a bus....you're a trooper! lol and what was that giant cookie thing you had? it looked good! i hoped you shared that, right? 😉 cant wait to see the coffee mountains! cheers ~sara
Hey Sara! haha I thought the bus ride would seem a lot longer but it really didn't! I was amazed at how fast the time flew by :) That was an arepa! It was DELICIOUS - the best one I had in Colombia. It was still warm from the oven when that man came aboard the bus to sell them. The coffee countryside was GORGEOUS and I can't wait to share the videos! We visited a coffee plantation, too, which was one of my favourite days of the entire trip :)
Hola y gracias por la bienvenida! Visitamos El Peñon y Guatape y nos lo pasamos de maravilla. ¡Subimos la roca también por supuesto! Esos videos saldrán pronto, así que espero que los disfruten y gracias de nuevo por la recomendación!
Beautiful country side for sure; too bad it's difficult to build freeways in the area. I travelled the area with my wife who is from Colombia, many times and I loved every time, but it is hard to stay awake because of the curvy hiways...
Question about the bus ride from Medellín to Salento... Ive heard that the roads are very winding, should I bring Dramamine or do you think the trip by bus will be fine without it?
I didn't take any but I don't generally have an issue with that whereas Marc does. He didn't take any either and was ok but everyone is different. It's hard to say so I'd recommend bringing it in case you start to feel ill - good back up!
I love to travel by bus. I really like any kind of public transportation. Awesome video as always! I send my best wishes from Mexico City (better known as CDMX) :D
Hi Gabriel! Saludos! I miss CDMX SO MUCH - I just fell in love with your beautiful city :) I love riding the buses in Mexico because they also give you a bag of food and a drink! So nice ;)
tendrias que quedarte unos cuantos meses para que recorras toda colombia, hay lugares increibles, sus playas, montañas, paramos, lagunas, volcanes, selvas, rios, llanos, desiertos, nevados, etc, etc etc, saludos desde bucaramanga, santander, por aqui tenemos el cañon de chicamocha :)
Hi! Are you planning to visit Bogota! I'm spending my vacations here and Ive only visited La Candelaria, if you're coming, what are you planning to do/visit?
Pilas! chama Eileen por allá es muyyyy peligroso,full narcotráfico, asesinatos,secuestros,bombazos en centros comerciales como el de Bogotá en el Andino y el que hubo en febrero este año, motorizados atracando,etc mi pana mosca por ese país y ya que anda cerca peguese un brinco para Venezuela es mucho mejor y full cosas que ver.
Hello! No, unfortunately, we didn't have time to visit Bogotá. But the gold museum, graffiti, and nearby salt cathedral all looked really interesting. I'm sure there's a lot to see!
Hello Eileen amazing video, you just rock. pl advise me, im planned to visit columbia, is it safe to go ? iam indian going along with other friend. is it ok to cover bogota, cartagena, medlin , salento in 15 days, if possible can you advise breakup places for each place? thank you in advance , keep rocking. please welcome to inda
Sorry, I don't remember the name. We've made a lot of videos in Colombia if you'd like to see more as you plan though: bit.ly/ColombiaPlaylist I'd love to hear how you enjoy the trip. :)
Hi! I spent a lot more time in Mexico than in Colombia but there are similarities and differences. I’d say both produce wonderful coffee and yummy fruits and have very different but delicious foods. I’d say the tourism industry in Mexico is more established and is still growing in Colombia. We spent time in the more arid, desert-like climates in Mexico and more time in lush, mountainous areas in Colombia. The beaches we visited in both countries were gorgeous and not to be missed. The Spanish sounded different to me in each country but I’m not the best judge of the nuances!
¡Bonito! Cali parece un gran lugar para visitar, pero lamentablemente no tuvimos tiempo. ¡Sé de Sam! Queríamos colaborar en UA-cam, pero no fue posible. Espero que en otro momento :)

Had to bus travel through Colombia as a child a lot and always wanted to do it again even though u can’t open the windows like before
Fun to watch you "on the road"....Good advice to take the bus instead of a plane. The scenery is awesome.
Thanks! I loved seeing the scenery - it was such a good chance to see the countryside :)
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hi Andrew! Thanks so much! :)

Wow, thank you!! It was such a fun road trip and the time passed by super quickly. I was so happy just looking out the window at the Andes :)

Gracias por mirar y comentar! Tienes un hermoso país feliz de que hayas disfrutado mis videos de Colombia.
What a great video...I'm from cali but í lived in Armenia a few years ago...Awesome city.. Greetings from Misisipi river - illinois..
During a bus trip like this one, do you put your backpack in the cargo space or take the backpack with you in the bus?
Hola hermosa... looks like that "arepa de maiz" was a peace of heaven to you.
The one on the bus? Yes, it was heavenly. It was so fresh and STILL WARM - just amazing.
Loved the video. Enjoyed the jeepao ride(taxi in Armenia)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video and greetings to you in Armenia.

Do they have like checkpoints when you take the bus there like they have all the males and females come off the bus for a pat down/frisk?
exelente trabajo
Muchas gracias!

¡Saludos! Sí, nos gustó mucho viajar en autobús y ver el hermoso paisaje por la ventana.

I’m planing to do this trip can you tell me the bus company that you use?
Sorry, I don't remember the name. We've made a lot of videos in Colombia if you'd like to see more as you plan though: bit.ly/ColombiaPlaylist I'd love to hear how you enjoy the trip. :)
based on your experience is Colombia very similar to Mexico and if not what makes it unique and if so what do they both share in common?
Hi! I spent a lot more time in Mexico than in Colombia but there are similarities and differences. I’d say both produce wonderful coffee and yummy fruits and have very different but delicious foods. I’d say the tourism industry in Mexico is more established and is still growing in Colombia.

Sweet thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

The music is distracting, but I'm an old person so don't take is personally.
