      @@Borje-th1fc Finland seems very much like Sweden in many ways, so to me, it's just boring going there. But it's probably beautiful if your from somewhere else but Scandinavia. And Norway is super expensive, so why waste my money to go there?? A friend of mine went to Norway and she got a normal sized ham and cheese Pizza for 16€. Because that's about how much a pizza costs

      All the trips I went on from the age of 18 without my family were just funded simply through working and saving up! Quite literally as simple as that, no help from my parents. I would just work as much as I could on the evenings and weekends. The trips were also on a budget so money would stretch as far as possible.

Most places don't allow you to do another job (and it's completely legal for a company to do this). Most jobs (even the good ones) don't even cover basic living expenses, and there is no minimum wage... It's why where I am from, travel is for the rich and privileged....

      Oisin Cosgrove ‘technically it is’ sorry but it is not at all. 6 counties belong to the uk and the rest is it’s own country. They did not fight for their freedom for so many years, causing so many deaths and executions for people to say they ‘technically’ are still part of the uk. That is extremely offensive to Irish people who feel very strongly about their history

      Lithuania- i haven't really been to Vilnius, but i've been to Druskininkai, if you google Druskininkai, you can find more information about visiting it. I don't know for what reason you're going there, and if you're going alone.... but you can go to the "Druskininkai air... train? " i have no idea how its in english, sorry.
      I know a few great restaurants, *Toli toli* and *Senasis nemunas*
      Estonia- You can go to the Tallin television tower, i really don't know how to explain things in english, its hard... so i recomment just googling it and getting information in english.
      Some really nice restaurants - NOA restaurant, restaurant Leib.
      Since im not Estonian or Lithuanian, if you want to, you can ask other Estonians and Lithuanians on internet, like here.

    I’ve just discovered your channel, I’m 24 and finally having wanderlust for the first time! Over my 25th birthday I’ll be going to the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark for the first time, and you’re inspiring me SO much!! You also MUST come to Canada! There’s so much variety in climates, landscapes, activities, cultures, architecture... at least visit British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia!!

      @kcrawford610 5 років тому +3

      I would argue the Island of Ireland is absolutely gorgeous and theres a lot to explore and do, as well as it being tiny so you could get a lot done in even just a few days! May be slightly biased tho🤷‍♀️😂

    You should think about going to Finland (especially the Eastern Finland or Lapland). In summer you'll witness the nightless night and in winter there are northern lights, lots of snow etc. Also autumn is so beautiful, the colours look amazing in Lapland in particular.

  • @punanenbanaani
    @punanenbanaani 5 років тому +14

    You definitely should go to Finland! It's one of my favorite places I've ever traveled to. I've been there twice to get the full experience on the whole country. I spent autumn in the Northern Ostrobothnia area and then the entire winter in Lapland. Last summer I spent 7 weeks in Northern Karelia and the coastal towns of South-East Finland. It's such a beautiful place, I definitely recommend going there !!

    Wow, i was going to suggest Portugal (my country!) but i've seen quite a few comments mentioning Portugal as a good destination and it made me so happy! It's a small country and we actually are a big turistic point but sometimes we don't get the recognition we deserve (like when some people say we belong to Spain???) and I'm happy a lot of people loved their vacations here!!!

    This is an amazing and absolutely inspiring video! I was just curious how expensive are those trips and how you finance them, especially in the pre youtube era! I just discovered your channel though and maybe you have those answers in other videos... So I'm definitely gonna watch more. Happy traveling!

    Wow, some of you guys are extremely lucky.
    I live in the States and have only traveled to 9 out of the 50 states (13 if you count me passing through Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas on my way to Texas) during the (almost) 16 years I've been alive.
    My step dad is Mexican and his family have invited me countless of times to visit Mexico with them, but sadly, my mother would never allow me to go.
    I'm excited for when I turn 18 and graduate high school, because I plan on taking a two year gap to be able to travel to a few places off my bucket list! Some may say I'm thinking too big but I plan on visiting around 50 countries during those two years!
    Watching your videos has inspired me to travel and go backpacking and because of your vlogs, I'm able to learn about new destinations to travel to and also, live through your vlogs, haha.

    You are very brave to go solo to so many places. A few suggestions that I have done: around the world crossing Siberia, Japan, (climb Mount Fuji, visit Koya-San and so many other interesting places), Micronesia (Guam, Saipan), Taiwan, Hong-Kong; Hawaii, climb Popocatepetl in Mexico, climb volcanos in Costa Rica, Caribbean islands (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti), Central America. Yes, our home planet is a beautiful place and the more we travel the better we appreciate how much we should care for it. Your videos bring me fond memories. There was no internet when I did those trips. Thank you for showing us the world.

    Do you know where your map is from? I have a scratch map but it doesn't have the states on and I prefer to not cross off the entire country because I share your view on it. Also, do you find that coins work well enough?

    • @Gaborillaa
      @Gaborillaa 5 років тому

      Journey With Jemma I have one and if you scratch on your wall (if it’s a bit bumpy) it’ll scratch off the writing underneath, if you scratch on a flat surface like a countertop coins work really well - I don’t know if that makes sense but you have to scratch really carefully so you don’t damage the map underneath
