    Loving the videos Gary!! Interacting with the locals and making new friends is so awesome with solo travel. Your drone footage is amazing and I appreciate all your efforts. Leo in Canada.

    Great episode!
    Glad the money situation got worked out.
    The drone is excellent at showing the complete destruction of that drowned city.
    The spontaneous friendships that happen while traveling-
    Thanks for taking the time and effort.

    Yet again another exciting and diverse episode. So glad you found your numberplate, that would have difficult to overcome. Made me think I should carry a spare when I am travelling.

      Hi David! Yes, I was so happy and lucky to find it. Would have been a tough one to sort over here if I didnt find it

    Gary if you go on revault you can get a virtual card that changes the account number everything you use it so it can't be copied and reused, you can transfer money into your usual account card on revault then exchange your euros into there currency on your virtual card, put the card on Google pay or Apple pay then use your phone as contactless to pay for fuel food and accommodation, it's much cheaper than western Union,, hope that makes sense,
    I've travelled in many countries doing the same thing there is only a small charge for the exchange into that currency. You can also go into banks and take out upto £250 a day, you still need a card as back up, not sure about Argentina, if there is many places that do contactless.

    Can't complain about NOT getting enough excitement on your trip. Lost wallet, lost lic plate, wrong card cancelled etc. and you at the start of this EPIC adventure :)
    Bet you would mind a few dull days from now on 🤣

    Hi Gary, these online banks are proving to be quite useful, I use Starling on trips abroad, very user friendly.
    Learning Spanish is turning out to be really useful, credit to you 😁✌🏻

    • @GarysJourneyYT

      Thanks Warren! Revolut has been a lifesaver. Learning Spanish is really a good investment, I have a few more words every day but opens more opportunities :)

    Nice video! Might be an idea to keep some BTC as a backup. You can always find places to convert to local currency if you need it.

    Does Franco’s family have any plans to rebuild after the devastation that the floods caused? So sad. Argentina still appears to be a very genuinely giving and friendly place. Can’t believe that you found your license plate so easily 🤘

    • @GarysJourneyYT

      No, the last resident died last year. It is now preserved and all the other residents moved to the next town. I was blessed to find the plate!

    Gary no lleva ningún tornillo en el radiador. El agujero del bloque es para que salga el agua acumulada en la bujía. Todo está bien.

    I lost my license plate 40 miles before I got to Ushuaia. Rode back to Portland and was never questioned at the border or by the police.

    I always srew licence plate with drywall screws. It solve problem permamently.

    • @GarysJourneyYT
      @GarysJourneyYT  13 днів тому

      Thats one way to solve it! I got a local mechanic to refit it

    I would try and open a non resident bank account in a bank in Argentina and transfer the money there (and then maybe get their bank card). I assume it should not be too complicated, but dont really know the laws there.

      I hear you but Western Union and tap is working for me!

    If that bank sends you a customer service survey, you should answer "No bueno."
