    Lol bro, i remember you from the clubbing videos. I am subscribed because i loved your personality, and so i wasn't really expected such a nice travel vlog. Like aesthetically and overall as a guiding experience, it was very well done. Kudos to you, looking forward for more. It makes sense, since at least the travel vloggers that i do follow (harald baldr, bald and bankrupt), those ones are successful not just because of the travel experience but also because they mix in their unique personalities within the videos, to get the best out of locals and otherwise, i can see the potential of something similar coming from you. All the very best.
