    Glad you posted this.
    This channel isn't just for the lucky ones who can afford to travel, it's escapism for the majority of us who wouldn't see the beautiful places in the world without your videos! I love armchair travelling. It helps me through the dark, gloomy winter days in the UK 🇬🇧 I probably won't ever be able to visit a fraction of the places you show but by watching the videos, I feel like I'm there. Uplifting, makes the long, dark days easier. Anyone else questioning you, show them this comment! Big up yourself for your humble, lovely persona

    Looks like the place I stayed at on Koh Samui back in 1994 for $4.00 a nite. Not sure if they even have those types of bungalows on Samui anymore. I was told by a fellow traveler back in 1993 to get to Samui before they improved the little airport & the jet planes start flying in. He was so right!!!!

"Volks Coffee" > he drove up each am around 6:30 & was there til about 10a > fantastic lite bite homemade offerings in addition to the variety of blended coffee fare > will definitely return

    Change will always happen. It does seem harder to get to which will keep some away.

    The black stuff in the water could be algae. I live near Lake Erie (Ohio) and there are algae plums after big rain storms over the summer. Note: They don't recommend swimming in that water.

    • @dragonfly9209

      Are you sure they are doing nothing? Since the majority in India are living in poverty with little to no modern conveniences--cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, tending fields or animals etc.---are never-ending jobs.
      Many poor women in India may not have "outside" jobs--but they work very hard, and have little to no enjoyment in life.
