I'm in Portland, and wanted to fly to Cancun. But the flights were ridiculous. 29 hours of travel, for a 5 hour flight. I finally gave up, and decided to paint my office/studio space.
awesome video gabriel and am looking forward to part 2, etc. it is so good to see you traveling internationally again and sharing your experiences. for some of us, the mental health that comes with freedom to explore is paramount! may serbia serve you well!!!
I wasn’t 100% sure where you were until I saw the national flag at around 14 minutes in, I know most of the worlds flags so gave it away haha. 😁 I miss travelling myself, went to about 4 countries last year and itching to get away. We’ve just had access to air bridges here in the U.K. between here and a number of countries so thinking of going somewhere around late August or early September. Holding fire until I see how thing develop in the coming weeks. Stay safe Gabriel mate, your videos are awesome and definitely inspire me to go to a few different places. 😁
My guess is Serbia! Being a tour guide at Niagara Falls, I found a very interesting hint in this video... The statue of Nikola Tesla! We have a similar statue here on the American side of Niagara Falls.
I mean... Gabriel is pretty responsible. He's a seasoned traveler. He's also a Canadian citizen, and Canada just doesn't have the stigma that the US has right about now. I hope the dude gets to travel to every country that'll let him in this year! I'm definitely going to continue watching his content.
Gabriel you were always responsible and respectful in all your 72 countries travelled! You did well when it was your decision to stay in Vancouver quarantining there instead of the USA. By the looks of things in the United States regarding the rise of the pandemic when it could have been managed a month ago and decreased by now it seems once again you made the right choice to get away from there. You are safer travelling and honestly if everyone took the Covid serious as you have, all Americans would be allowed to travel but most are now sick. Keep your chin up!! Keep loving what you love and don’t let anyone tell you you are wrong to travel when most of us know you have a head on your shoulders and would never want to risk your health nor your loved ones nor innocent people around you. If you ever want to get away to a secluded peaceful setting and do some serious walleye and trout fishing this summer contact me... my husband and I have loved watching you for years... we consider you a dear friend.. Gabriel we live on a farm in a quiet hamlet in Saskatchewan and have lots of room for you!!
I watched your video where you showed the Cancun, Miami and London airports. It was very interesting and so surreal how quiet the airport are now. By the way, the white mask that you were wearing has that metal bar on the outside that you can bend around you nose for a better fit which might keep it from slipping. Happy travels!
You are in Serbia because I googled orange in Serbian and got the word narandžasta and that was the word you pointed out to us. Good job Gabriel!! Happy travels.
To Gabe and everyone else travelling during the pandemic, PLEASE be careful. It just came out that Bald and Bankrupt contracted the virus while in the Balkans, nearly died, and will require some serious rehab to breathe on his own again. I'm not usually such a downer, but please remember that a lot of these places are reopening for economic reasons, and not because it's actually safe :(
@@GabrielTravelerVideos He posted it on his Instagram story this morning. I'd link a screenshot if I could. It should still be up on his page. Apparently he was in the ICU for 9 days with double pneumonia in both lungs. He says it will take him months to be able to breathe on his own again. I wish it were just a rumour.
@@adhdchaos4990 Wow, that's really crazy to hear. I'll look for it. I think I follow him on instagram but I didn't see it. The thing is, nowhere is safe really. Being back home in the US is no guarantee I won't get it, it's one of the worst places to be. So unless you're going to hide in your house and order food delivered for months or maybe years, you're taking a chance anytime you go outside, go to a store or restaurant or anywhere that other people are. Everyone has to make their own decision on that but as for myself, I self-isolated for a couple months and am now willing to face the risks of going outside. You could also get hit by a bus or get food poisoning or be robbed, etc. Life is a risk no matter what you do. Obviously I don't want to get the virus or spread it to others, but at some point we all have to accept that this thing isn't going away anytime soon and we're going to have to live our lives despite the possibility of getting sick. Serbia has extremely low numbers of cases compared to other countries around the world so despite Bald's unfortunate experience, it's probably a better place to be than a lot of other places.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I know you're responsible Gabe. I'm just trying to remind people that the threat is still there. Unfortunately, the reason that Bald got sick was likely that he was going to very populated areas like nightclubs and a huge soccer game which is likely where he ended up contracting it. Those are just the activities that he showed. I'm in no way saying that most people who go travelling will get sick, but lot of people seem to have forgotten about the virus and continue to go about their daily activities as normal which leads to some unfortunate situations like his. Harald Baldr and Tall Travels were with him around the time that he would have gotten sick as well and I don't think that they're been posting at all either, so there's some concern there. I do really appreciate that you're following all of the regulations, wearing masks, etc. You're definitely the most responsible travel UA-camr I've seen out there right now.

@@GabrielTravelerVideos But the difference is being at home doesn't require you to get on a flying tin can stuffed with 300 other people breathing on each other for 12 hours. As bad as I wanted to travel this summer I'm just going to wait till this all dies down. I figure whatever I want to see will still be there when the pandemic is over. I have no reason to rush out into the world. I understand you have a travel channel and have a need to keep your viewers satisfied, so I can understand your predicament. Be safe.
You should make a video talking about your most sketchy moments. (Being mugged, people threatening you, sharing a hostal with a crazy man, ETC.) BTW love your videos, me and my family watch them every weekend.
Welcome to Belgrade :) I used to live there, now in Nis, a two hour trip south of Belgrade, you should come visit. Nis is the birthplace of Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire. Hit me up.
The Irish 'quarantine' is only a suggestion that you do so for 14 days - it is not mandatory. The only law is that you fill out the contact tracing form correctly, its a criminal offence not to do so, however there is no offence if YOU choose not to quarantine. So you can, if you so wish, after handing over the form to the Guards (Police) go off on your merry way. As it is not an offence not to quarantine the Guards (Police) have no part in policing people's movements - its the Health Authorities that may or may not contact you thereafter. Also there is no restriction between Ireland and the UK so you can avoid the UK quarantine by landing in Ireland and either going over the border to Belfast, catching a non-connecting flight from Dublin, or indeed getting a ferry across the Irish Sea.
I think you are in Belgrade, saw the Serbia flag on one of the buildings. Was trying to check out the car registrations, the only one I saw was a UK plate on a black Range Rover, typical!
Enjoy your videos. Great to see you travelling again. You are brave though I wouldn’t much fancy travelling myself at the moment. Good luck. Looking forward to your next video. Greetings from Northern Ireland.
I was thinking about you, I thought you were in some place, your house , waiting this pandemic situation... but my surprise is this video. YOU STILL TRAVELING!!! You aren't bored like a lot of us. You so lucky traveling . 👍👍👍👍
I believe Americans can also go to Iceland right now too, but must take a test upon arrival (or at least from last I heard). If you haven't been there yet, you should definitely put it soon on your list Gabe. Think you'd really dig it.
I have a few more things to wrap up around home and I'll be ready to travel again. Hopefully more places will be available to travel by then. I'm shooting for September or early Oct. Maybe sooner. Keep it easy man!
Curious what your plans you have for your career. Short and long terms. I always thought u should operate a guided tour company....like treks to Himalayas, India and Greece. Maybe small customized group tours. Maybe start with outdoor back pack trips to Canadian Rockies, Denali, Glacier etc. I would be interested in a small group experience particularly to some of the more remote locations you often go to.
Right about the time in the video when you took off your mask, you walked passed the SLOT CLUB. A google search came back with Hotel Slavija, in Belgrade, Serbia.
"Keep on rocking in the free" world while you can my friend!! We are in the philippines since the lockdown, but cannot travel anywhere, just enjoying the beaches nearby. Waterfalls are still closed.
Gabe , I sure hope you had a test to see if you had the virus because you could have it right now and you could have just spread it all through Mexico and where you are right now Gabriel and in Mexico Cancun and playa del Carmen are not considered a low risk area that's why the beaches there are closed
I question for you gabriel, when you departure from Mexico to u.k what airlines was it? and did the check in front desk ask you if you need to have return flight to Mexico or did not say anything to you ?
I read your post on Medium, and I understand your point. My question is why couldn’t you wait until the pandemic is less severe? It seems like you’re being impatient and just winging it just so you can travel. I know you know this, but you’re 4000 miles away in a country that has no responsibility to protect you. You said yourself in March that you didn’t want to be in Mexico if things got bad, so why is traveling to Serbia 4 months later any better?
I explained in the article that when I made my plans to travel to Europe in early June, Europe was making very public announcements inviting tourists back to Europe, and at the time it looked like that would include Americans. When I flew to Mexico on June 16th things in the US weren't looking so bad. It was over those two weeks that I was in Mexico (in a low risk area) that the situation started to worsen in the US. Considering what was happening and the fact that I don't have a home anywhere, it made a lot more sense for me to fly somewhere with less of the virus rather than flying back to the US where it's escalating rapidly.
Gabriel Traveler oh well, a minor disagreement. I still love your videos, but don’t want you to end up like Ben from Bald and Bankrupt. Being around thousands of people in a city is a surefire way to get it.
First time I’ve ever seen your video was the one that said you were turning off comments due to brain drain / negativity.Anyways most ppl I’ve seen comment are really quite positive. A lot of you tubers would love to have this class of ppl.
Roughly 90% of the comments are positive, which is definitely appreciated. But 10% of a large number of comments means that you still have to filter through a lot of negativity every day. And my viewers don't see the worst of it, because that gets deleted. It's more a matter of the whole process of managing the comments section which takes up a lot of time every day.
I've been in Puerto Vallarta Mexico on the Pacific coast for the last three weeks and the city is open. It's hot and humid af but it's really nice. I'm heading to Mexico City soon. Great video, I think I know where you are but I'l wait for the next video.
You shouldn't be traveling in this time. You should be lock down at home while this situation passes. May God bless you, Gabriel. You're a great traveler.
I like Serbia, it's a nice place, but it's a very limited place to be in a lockdown, and the numbers of infections are spiking, so maybe jump over to Turkey and hang there, because you get 90 days on arrival, and the political situation of Erdogan makes a longtime lockdown much less likely than Serbia, and there are some nice villages in the mountains there to hang out in if the cities becomes crazy ;)
Wouldn’t it be worthwhile getting a Canadian passport (which you are obviously eligible for) at a Canadian consulate somewhere under the current travel circumstances/restrictions?
Unbelievable Gabriel!!! At 1410 you passed the the University of Belgrade engineering school. If there's any Nikola Tesla fans out there you will see the statue of him sitting down reading in honor of his birthplace.
@gabrieltraveler I just watched a video of this guy and his brother about his Summer vacation in Capri ( July 2020) and they are from L.A (USA) so I'm confused
The city where you are declared state of emergency on Friday July 3rd. The numbers in Serbia are up massively, all of them; new cases, ICU, deaths and there are not enough testing being done. Serbias government did a money decision. Combined with a general lack of the population not changing their behaviour with some needed restrictions, like limiting crowds, it’s a viral disaster. If you are willing to risk your health that’s up to you but that ends when it puts all of us at risk. Honest question; have you grasped that it’s about all of us? It’s not about you. We need to protect each other. That’s what individual responsibility is about. You are a very smart guy so I expect more than the “me and my rights” which puts us all in danger. Please go home until we’re not all walking viral paper trails. It’s not a human right with non essential traveling.
He is taking every precaution and sanitizing and following rules like social distancing etc it's not like he is going to a concert. There are more irresponsible people who are not travelling but they are meeting up with friends, going to house parties, not washing hands, kissing, hugging etc in their own countries every single day and not following the rules atleast he is trying to do everything he can to be safe and not harm others also he is willing to quarantine if he has to before entering any country. Atleast we get to see something positive online instead of all the negative videos media always shows us now. Show him some love!
Blah blah blah. Just look at all the people dropping dead on the streets there. Yeah. Keep believing what they tell you. And oh, be first in line when that 'vaccine' comes out.
I'm traveling to Europe pretty soon. I didn't do it sooner because the 14 day quarantine is kind of a long time to be indoors but o well, I'm exited. It should be more interesting with less tourist around.
I think you should mention that the restrictions don't have anything to do with your passport or citizenship. If you are an American living in France and can show that you haven't been to the US recently, then you can travel freely. Your entrance to a country is dependent on where you have been within the past 14 days and if that country has had a lot of cases.
That's exactly what I've been trying to figure out for weeks but haven't been able to get a clear answer on. I'd heard that the restrictions against Americans entering Europe was regardless of where they've been, anyone trying to enter with a US passport won't be allowed in. But I'm still not sure what the reality is.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos It is not about citizenship per se, it's about how the virus is controlled in the country of departure. I have dual citizenship US and French living in the US, even I cannot enter unless I go on quarantine. The same goes for Russians and Brazilians. A US citizen living in Germany who can prove that they haven't been to the US since COVID started, would be able to travel within Europe without difficulty. Unfortunately, people think that this is political, it's not. It's simply a way to control traffic in Europe from countries with many cases. And it's done by stage. Until 1 month ago, French people could not travel within France.
nothing personal Gabriel, but for those who have a very limited amount of time off, quarantining for 2 weeks would blow through my vacation and then i would have to pay for that hotel, food and anything else, just to sit in a hotel? i will pass for travel until things, well maybe never get back to normal. 2020 is shot. 2021 could be worse. I live in Florida and some states want me to quarantine because i am from a high covid state. i will stay put and watch you travel. sounds good.
I totally hear you on that. I did six weeks of self-isolation in Canada, only going out to the supermarket and for walks. It gets old fast. Not much of a vacation.
It looks like Belgrade to me- I had a fantastic couple of days there last year. There is a fantastic walk by the Sava and Danube rivers in the city where you can see the confluence of these two great rivers- there is a video of the walk on my chanbel (just search on "Danube" on my channel). Glad you're travelling again.
Travelling NOW is a personal choice and perfectly fine for anybody who do their research before going, and who are willing to take the risk. Borders don't open for nothing, and many countries are begging for tourists to come back. The most important is to be willing to follow the government regulations at your destination. I'm stuck in lockdown in El Salvador, but as soon as I get out of here, I will be right back on the road travelling somewhere they want me. I'm lucky to be European though, so there are many options.
The issue with risk is everyone on here keeps talking about the risk to yourself. No one is factoring in the risk you are putting others (potentially vulnerable people) in. I'm not going to chastisize someone for choosing to travel, but at least acknowledge your choice has the potential to impact others as well.
Hi, inspired by your travel adventures heading to eastern EU. What is the cell service that you recommend when traveling that region? Didn't see on your list of travel gear recommendations. Thank you!
Mexico you cannot enter via a land border if your purpose is tourism. Also, I believe the restrictions are based on where you are traveling from. And not citizenship. So even if you are Canadian, if you travel from the US, you will not be admitted to the EU.
Dude you should have just taken the L and forfeit to the fact that what you do for money got stopped by COVID. Get over it and try something else for awhile. Both the US and Canadian government say don’t travel internationally. Getting on a plane is foolish.
Gabriel Traveler you were in Mexico. You could have stayed way longer. You had a 180 day visa. Getting on airplanes is a huge vector. No need to bounce around you could easily be spreading it around the globe. Half of all Mexican corona tests come back positive.AMLO is going a terrible job. Really there’s no way to justify it just accept you messed up.
Love eastern Europe. I know this city as I visited in 2015. You are catching up on my 77 countries Gabriel. Like you, my goal was not to go to a new country every trip.
Gabriel -Enjoy your Travel Show Adventures ! I know where you are !! Because I am in Belgrade as well ! It's the best place on the Globe ! Greetings from Belgrade Serbia ! Kind Regards-Sam
the flag in the bldg is a giveaway. Belgrade Serbia.
Gabriel is a true traveler and lover of individual freedom. Much respect.
Happy to see you back out on the Road Gabriel. Great Job. Keep it up, stay strong, positive and healthy.
I have no idea but the stripe running down the middle of the sidewalk is for blind people to guide them. So that makes this a cool advanced country.
"Where Can Americans Travel in 2020?" umhhhh…. to your local supermarket?
i missed your travels bro, and would love to watch you take us to anywhere you would take us at the safety and comfort of our homes. take care!
Well wherever you are it sure is clean n beautiful! Stay safe my friend, happy trails until next time.✌
I'm in Portland, and wanted to fly to Cancun. But the flights were ridiculous. 29 hours of travel, for a 5 hour flight. I finally gave up, and decided to paint my office/studio space.
I’m leaving to Playa del Carmen in two days. I can’t wait.
Why don’t you fly non-stop to Mexico City or another destination and then book another flight separately?
awesome video gabriel and am looking forward to part 2, etc.

Loved my time in Belgrade, spent 7 days there September last year. But read up the history of Yugoslavia it's so convoluted and tragic.

I think you are in Belgrade, saw the Serbia flag on one of the buildings. Was trying to check out the car registrations, the only one I saw was a UK plate on a black Range Rover, typical!
there's a plate you can see at 3:06 SRB (Serbia) and a old YU (Yugoslavia) sticker you can see as well.
I would have guessed French Guiana ..I only noticed the "ресторан" sign, borrowed from French 😁 9:57
plus Cyrillic alphabet with some letters particular to Serb variety and prices such as 80, 250 indicating Serbian dinar
Tall Travels was just in Belgrade and caught up with Benjamin Bald and Bankrupt, so I think you're right.
You're right. 21:55 sign says "Topcider Park," which is indeed in Belgrade.
Enjoy your videos. Great to see you travelling again. You are brave though I wouldn’t much fancy travelling myself at the moment. Good luck. Looking forward to your next video. Greetings from Northern Ireland.

I believe Americans can also go to Iceland right now too, but must take a test upon arrival (or at least from last I heard). If you haven't been there yet, you should definitely put it soon on your list Gabe. Think you'd really dig it.

Dang! The market at the beginning is SO clean!
And you have all kinds of fruits, vegetables ...
It s not China, for sure...looks like Bulgaria or Romania...
You visited Serbia. Slavic letters and car numbers with RS.
Asian Facility uk number plate at 16.21

It seems like you’re being impatient and just winging it just so you can travel. I know you know this, but you’re 4000 miles away in a country that has no responsibility to protect you. You said yourself in March that you didn’t want to be in Mexico if things got bad, so why is traveling to Serbia 4 months later any better?
I explained in the article that when I made my plans to travel to Europe in early June, Europe was making very public announcements inviting tourists back to Europe, and at the time it looked like that would include Americans. When I flew to Mexico on June 16th things in the US weren't looking so bad. It was over those two weeks that I was in Mexico (in a low risk area) that the situation started to worsen in the US. Considering what was happening and the fact that I don't have a home anywhere, it made a lot more sense for me to fly somewhere with less of the virus rather than flying back to the US where it's escalating rapidly.
Gabriel Traveler oh well, a minor disagreement. I still love your videos, but don’t want you to end up like Ben from Bald and Bankrupt. Being around thousands of people in a city is a surefire way to get it.
Anyone notice the uk plate on car at 16.21?
Thanks for the update! Stay safe!!
Hi Gabriel from Melbourne Australia, seeing the writing on the shops and car registrations then you definitely in BELGRADE ,SERBIA :)
First time I’ve ever seen your video was the one that said you were turning off comments due to brain drain / negativity.Anyways most ppl I’ve seen comment are really quite positive. A lot of you tubers would love to have this class of ppl.
Roughly 90% of the comments are positive, which is definitely appreciated. But 10% of a large number of comments means that you still have to filter through a lot of negativity every day. And my viewers don't see the worst of it, because that gets deleted. It's more a matter of the whole process of managing the comments section which takes up a lot of time every day.
I've been in Puerto Vallarta Mexico on the Pacific coast for the last three weeks and the city is open. It's hot and humid af but it's really nice. I'm heading to Mexico City soon. Great video, I think I know where you are but I'l wait for the next video.
Great, thanks for the update from Puerto Vallarta. Good to know things are getting back to normal there.
Tammy I’m in PV also, we should meet up, I need some friends, Laura
He’s in Belgrade, Serbia, Yogoslavia 🇷🇸
You shouldn't be traveling in this time. You should be lock down at home while this situation passes. May God bless you, Gabriel. You're a great traveler.

I like Serbia, it's a nice place, but it's a very limited place to be in a lockdown, and the numbers of infections are spiking, so maybe jump over to Turkey and hang there, because you get 90 days on arrival, and the political situation of Erdogan makes a longtime lockdown much less likely than Serbia, and there are some nice villages in the mountains there to hang out in if the cities becomes crazy ;)
Wouldn’t it be worthwhile getting a Canadian passport (which you are obviously eligible for) at a Canadian consulate somewhere under the current travel circumstances/restrictions?
Unbelievable Gabriel!!! At 1410 you passed the the University of Belgrade engineering school. If there's any Nikola Tesla fans out there you will see the statue of him sitting down reading in honor of his birthplace.
Cool.
Definitely Serbia 🇷🇸
How about don’t travel? Stay in your countries and support the local economy?

Stay safe brother greetings from Thailand
So clean!
Welcome to my hometown!
you're in Belgrade, heard that they're shutting down the city
@gabrieltraveler I just watched a video of this guy and his brother about his Summer vacation in Capri ( July 2020) and they are from L.A (USA) so I'm confused
Maybe they have dual citizenship and have another passport that allows them to travel in Europe.
The city where you are declared state of emergency on Friday July 3rd.
The numbers in Serbia are up massively, all of them; new cases, ICU, deaths and there are not enough testing being done. Serbias government did a money decision. Combined with a general lack of the population not changing their behaviour with some needed restrictions, like limiting crowds, it’s a viral disaster. If you are willing to risk your health that’s up to you but that ends when it puts all of us at risk. Honest question; have you grasped that it’s about all of us?
It’s not about you.
We need to protect each other.
That’s what individual responsibility is about.
You are a very smart guy so I expect more than the “me and my rights” which puts us all in danger. Please go home until we’re not all walking viral paper trails. It’s not a human right with non essential traveling.

He is taking every precaution and sanitizing and following rules like social distancing etc it's not like he is going to a concert. There are more irresponsible people who are not travelling but they are meeting up with friends, going to house parties, not washing hands, kissing, hugging etc in their own countries every single day and not following the rules atleast he is trying to do everything he can to be safe and not harm others also he is willing to quarantine if he has to before entering any country. Atleast we get to see something positive online instead of all the negative videos media always shows us now. Show him some love!
Blah blah blah. Just look at all the people dropping dead on the streets there. Yeah. Keep believing what they tell you. And oh, be first in line when that 'vaccine' comes out.
@@marijafilipovic8622 Byebye!
There is written University of Belgrade on that building at 14:28 . So I guess you are in Madrid?
Belgrade,Serbia
Glad you are back Gabriel. Did you change your camera because it’s like HD. So good. Come to New Zealand.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is also open to US tourists right now.
I'm traveling to Europe pretty soon. I didn't do it sooner because the 14 day quarantine is kind of a long time to be indoors but o well, I'm exited. It should be more interesting with less tourist around.
I think you should mention that the restrictions don't have anything to do with your passport or citizenship. If you are an American living in France and can show that you haven't been to the US recently, then you can travel freely. Your entrance to a country is dependent on where you have been within the past 14 days and if that country has had a lot of cases.
That's exactly what I've been trying to figure out for weeks but haven't been able to get a clear answer on. I'd heard that the restrictions against Americans entering Europe was regardless of where they've been, anyone trying to enter with a US passport won't be allowed in. But I'm still not sure what the reality is.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos It is not about citizenship per se, it's about how the virus is controlled in the country of departure. I have dual citizenship US and French living in the US, even I cannot enter unless I go on quarantine. The same goes for Russians and Brazilians. A US citizen living in Germany who can prove that they haven't been to the US since COVID started, would be able to travel within Europe without difficulty. Unfortunately, people think that this is political, it's not. It's simply a way to control traffic in Europe from countries with many cases. And it's done by stage. Until 1 month ago, French people could not travel within France.
Be aware that Belgrade declared a state of emergency due a rise in cases on july 3.
99% survival rate.
The media and this corrupt globalist gov system is the virus..
@@EsotericHighway Go to the nearest mirror, if you have one, do you see the virus? bingo, now go treat yourself.
Fear mongering. We are talking about the flu here.

Tommy Cole that wasn’t nice..
There are clear geopolitical agendas at play with what’s going on, that’s all I’m saying..
You're in Serbia 🇷🇸. That was easy.
nothing personal Gabriel, but for those who have a very limited amount of time off, quarantining for 2 weeks would blow through my vacation and then i would have to pay for that hotel, food and anything else, just to sit in a hotel? i will pass for travel until things, well maybe never get back to normal. 2020 is shot. 2021 could be worse. I live in Florida and some states want me to quarantine because i am from a high covid state. i will stay put and watch you travel. sounds good.
I totally hear you on that. I did six weeks of self-isolation in Canada, only going out to the supermarket and for walks. It gets old fast. Not much of a vacation.
It looks like Belgrade to me- I had a fantastic couple of days there last year. There is a fantastic walk by the Sava and Danube rivers in the city where you can see the confluence of these two great rivers- there is a video of the walk on my chanbel (just search on "Danube" on my channel). Glad you're travelling again.
Im a beer drinker and Jelen is from Serbia (7:02 in the video); thx
VIDEO STARTS AT 17:03
Travelling NOW is a personal choice and perfectly fine for anybody who do their research before going, and who are willing to take the risk. Borders don't open for nothing, and many countries are begging for tourists to come back. The most important is to be willing to follow the government regulations at your destination. I'm stuck in lockdown in El Salvador, but as soon as I get out of here, I will be right back on the road travelling somewhere they want me. I'm lucky to be European though, so there are many options.
The issue with risk is everyone on here keeps talking about the risk to yourself. No one is factoring in the risk you are putting others (potentially vulnerable people) in. I'm not going to chastisize someone for choosing to travel, but at least acknowledge your choice has the potential to impact others as well.
Right on!! Love the intro music :)
Hi, inspired by your travel adventures heading to eastern EU. What is the cell service that you recommend when traveling that region? Didn't see on your list of travel gear recommendations. Thank you!
Mexico you cannot enter via a land border if your purpose is tourism.
Also, I believe the restrictions are based on where you are traveling from. And not citizenship. So even if you are Canadian, if you travel from the US, you will not be admitted to the EU.
Is it Belarus? Maybe I meant Belgrade, I don't know. It's our thirty years anniversary this year. We wanted to go to Canada, but so far no luck.
Yes, Belgrade.
Dude you should have just taken the L and forfeit to the fact that what you do for money got stopped by COVID. Get over it and try something else for awhile. Both the US and Canadian government say don’t travel internationally. Getting on a plane is foolish.

Gabriel Traveler you were in Mexico. You could have stayed way longer. You had a 180 day visa. Getting on airplanes is a huge vector. No need to bounce around you could easily be spreading it around the globe. Half of all Mexican corona tests come back positive.AMLO is going a terrible job. Really there’s no way to justify it just accept you messed up.
Gabriel Traveler what part of US State Department: “Do not travel” is so hard to understand?
@@tuberunner2543 Calm down man.
Before watching the next video, is it there Serbia?
Rather be 6 feet apart then 6 feet under...
Then stay 6 feet apart.
Love eastern Europe. I know this city as I visited in 2015. You are catching up on my 77 countries Gabriel. Like you, my goal was not to go to a new country every trip.
Asia is pretty much closed now. North Macedonia is hot for me this summer, but I am not sure how open it is and where I can enter it.
Gabriel -Enjoy your Travel Show Adventures ! I know where you are !! Because I am in Belgrade as well ! It's the best place on the Globe ! Greetings from Belgrade Serbia ! Kind Regards-Sam
My first guess was Ukraine Kief but maybe Belgrade????
