Sorry for the loco subtitles. I used “this app” for automatic subtitles, and obviously, it didn’t work out perfectly. Anyways I hope you enjoy it! Like, share etc 😎😎😎
100% on the importance of flossing. Seriously, when you travel, particularly in developing countries, it is likely you're going to eat some very tough meat along the way that sticks between your teeth. A bad gum infection resulting from this can ruin your trip. Always carry dental floss, even if you aren't planning on using it regularly. I'll add that some medications that are legal in the US are totally illegal in some (all?) European countries (e.g. Adderall). Check before you go.
Phones: I just called T-Mobile about Europe. What they told me was that you didn't need to change anything to use your phone in Europe. Data was no charge, texting no charge. If you wanted higher speed data, you could buy plans but it was not necessary. Phone calls at 25 cents a minute. They just suggested to use something like WhatsApp, FB Messenger, or Viber when on Wifi. Just thought I'd share. Great tip on the passports/ID's.
Thanks sharing. Yep that’s correct. I’ve never bought there high speed data. But in general there speeds in Europe are …okay. Way better then they were a few years ago.
I'm planning my first solo trip to Europe this year. I've watched several of your vids and they are fantastic. But one thing I haven't seen yet is what you do with either your luggage or backpack on a daily basis when staying at hostels.
What do you think about one of those electronic language translators? I can get by (get a room or a meal) in German or French, but am going to Greece and Turkey where I have no idea of the language.
No. Really any accommodation is an option. But with a few things to keep in mind. First is when you are traveling. If you are traveling at peak season in Europe. (May - August) It’s more risk that every place will be booked. Especially in the popular cities like Paris, Florence, Barcelona. Etc. Budget is another thing to keep in mind. If you are booking last minute. There is a chance you could score a deal. But most likely it will be more expensive. As places fill up, prices rise. I love carefree traveling. And the majority of time it works out. But sometimes it has lead to some pretty rough nights without anywhere to sleep.
To me it was a nightmare. I ended up on a floor and tried to go to the bathroom where I was yelled at in Austrian and all I could make out was something about him calling the police. :D I am 74 would never stay at one (again) and yeah there are other options--you can book early but there are smaller pensions and that sort of thing. He's a young guy and can probably handle sleeping on the floor. He has other excellent advise though. I wouldn't say it is "carefree", the cares are different. :D

That European Visa Waiver requirement has been pushed back to 2024 - not needed for this year (2023)
Great tips! Did you mention max dimensions for cabin baggage and weight.?
Miss that beautiful ginger face! Loving the videos bro, stoked to follow the journey 😊
Thanks bro! Epic meet up 2022!
Very thankful for all the videos you post. This one is one of my favorite

@@gingeronthego Oh, you're living the life, Sir! Stay safe and well, please.
I didn’t know about the visa waiver. We are traveling in Europe next May. Super helpful. Thanx!!
Yep! It is supposed to launch in 2023.
@@gingeronthego I looked into this and I found that Etias won't apply until 2024
Informative and with humour! 👍
Great videos, thank you for the great suggestions and reminders.
Where is this country you call Eurooe? Will your cards be useful in Trakia or Kossova or Kazakhstan, or countries that do not offer ATMs?
I'm planning my first solo trip to Europe this year. I've watched several of your vids and they are fantastic. But one thing I haven't seen yet is what you do with either your luggage or backpack on a daily basis when staying at hostels.
Most hostels have lockers. You just lock up your luggage.
great tips man! keep it up!
Thanks!
Great. Good jobb.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

perfect!
Great info, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
For emergency and day to day cash do you recommend euros or US$?
I am an older traveler. Is a hostel my only option when traveling carefree?
No. Really any accommodation is an option. But with a few things to keep in mind.
