I suggest as a recommendation to talk a little bit slow because everyone want to understand your tips Comment from : Ivette Pagador

I have never bothered to collect a VAT refund Not worth the hassle unless you bought a bunch of expensive stuff but also - the VAT helps to support all the things and places you spent your teensy vacation time going to see Comment from : Suzanne K Davis

Wonderful videos but goodness, can you please slow down when speaking!😮 Comment from : P F

Yeah I went to Rome for the first time in 2015 and the trevi fountain was covered in scaffolding Comment from : Christian Rodriguez

What baffles me is when some Americans travel to a place and expect everyone to adapt to them I read a comment on a messaging board written by a guy who had moved to Japan for a year or so He was complaining that, while the Japanese people spoke basic English, they did not seem interested in making a real effort in improving their English He was the one moving to a foreign country😅 brWhen you travel somewhere, try to learn a few words/sentences in that language Be appreciative of the person who makes an effort to speak to you in English Yes we all learn English in school, but sometimes it's too much taken for granted by American travellers Comment from : surlespasdondine

loved the video! so comprehensive but concise too! May I add another budget tip for Europe - I found ATMs to be charging diffierent fees for foreign card holders - so landed up using the ATM Fee Saver app that a fellow traveller recommended me - it gives a list of fee-free and low-fee ATMs in Europe along with withdrawal limits - was quite a life saviour for budget travellers like me! Comment from : Jess Williams

These are amazing tips! I would love to see a Denmark specific tips video, as I plan to travel there for an 80-day period during the winter holidays, and it will be my first time traveling internationally! I am also a NA citizen, so it'd be nice to know more travel tips for Europe/Scandinavia/Denmark Comment from : Isabelle Hansen

Great video! Love your pacing! Lots of information in a short amount of time! Comment from : Amys Canine Kindergarten

Sad Gap of Death 😂 Comment from : DnD_Beyond_Is_Bad

Hello! I love your videos Being a Canadian, it is very nice to hear your perspective My daughter and I are wanting to do a Europe trip in a few years Would you recommend a Group Tour for our first time rather than book our own? Do you have a recommendation for a Tour Group? Comment from : Carrie Stevenson

You talk too fast😅 Comment from : Leo Sef

Thank you for all the amazing tips!! I know July is one of the worst times to visit Europe, but I’m going to be in Poland next year for a wedding and wanted to extend the trip to visit other countries 🥲 I’m getting discouraged by the crowds… so would love to see more tips on how to still have a good time traveling in July-August ❤ Comment from : Tami Baska

European here: Even in the hottest summer, pack some "proper" cover-up clothes when you plan to visit churches, cathedrals and things like that: most of them require you to cover up your knees and shoulders, some also your head, if you are a woman When I travel around Europe myself, I like to bring a big, lightweight shawl for things like this and wear it over my head and shoulders at once while wearing a longer skirt on those days, for example :) If you don't have anything with you, you either are denied entrance, or they provide you with some icky old cover ups they keep especially for that reason And also pack some extra socks if you otherwise wear sandals barefoot, as similar places sometimes require you to take off your shoes (Talking about mosques especially) Comment from : Caro Böhme

Tip your waiters please!!! In Spain people DO tip, not as much as in the US but they still tip, one or two Euros per person will do and your waiters will be really glad they served you Comment from : Leonardo Pochet Saldias

Thank you so much for this! i love all your tips and information! My friend and i are going to the eastern mediterranean on a cruise next year and are so overwhelmed about travel in europe! it's a bucket list itinerary, but since we're starting in Istanbul and ending in Trieste, we want to see a couple of days in Turkey and Italy and just trying to plan that is completely daunting We have no idea how to get around or where to stay or what's even practical for us - i'm devouring all your vlogs since i discovered this!

THE WHOLE BIG BEN… was under restoration Comment from : Caroline Rejman

Fellow 🇨🇦 Planning to do some solo traveling in Europe and the transportation system overwhelming Have been on trains in Italy but was with a tour group Just spent 3 weeks in Croatia and used ferries, it was so easy Can you recommend good videos for train travel? ❤your videos! Comment from : Smucko1

The Schwab debit card has zero foreign transaction fees I made the mistake of forgetting that the UK has different currency and outlets when I stopped through on a layover after visiting other European countries The tip about scaffolding is true On that same stop through London I went out to the Parliament Building to find Big Ben completely covered by scaffolding Comment from : BKLNHobo

Great video!!! Comment from : Lubov Lubov

Speak slower! Comment from : John Cordeiro

December is a good time to go? Comment from : S R

Related to #52 (Separate your cards) - A lot of travelers misunderstand the purpose and use of money belts (and similar devices like neck wallets) This isn’t your working inventory, you don’t dip into the money belt to pay for lunch Anything you think you’ll spend today can go in your wallet for easy access, with the slight risk of it getting pickpocketedbrbrThe belt is for when you’re carrying your travel documents or more money than you can afford to lose Maybe you’re hitting the ATM to pull five days’ worth of cash or you’re traveling between cities and have to carry everything with you Stash your stuff, zip up the belt and tuck it under your clothes Now the only way you’re losing that money is a proper mugging where the thief stands there and makes you hand your stuff over Those are exceedingly rare these days Comment from : Magic Beans

Regarding No 14 (public transport is part of the experience) - It’s also a nice peek into the lives of ordinary people I’ve met a few travelers who barely met any locals because they stayed at the Hilton, ate at the touristy restaurants, and got everywhere by car or tour bus That’s not the worst thing, they still saw the sights, but they’re missing out on a big part of the experience Comment from : Magic Beans

Now after watching this video, I am reluctant to visit Europe as a backpacker 😒 Comment from : That Wild Bird

Love this video! One thing that I learned and wanted to share with you is to look for a duffle bag that best fits your luggage and has all the wonderful features a bag can have especially in plane travel use I'm using Nomad Lane's Bento Bag and it's a good choice Comment from : francine janine sarmiento

Peak times have expanded I’ve seen hotspots still be super crowded in April and November Comment from : Christina Bayma

But lady you paint a general stroked about North America Comment from : Melanie

You generalize alot about North America Many things apply to your part of Canada compare to Europe but not to ours :) Great video though Comment from : Melanie

Hi! Looking forward to watch your next video on how the train stations works in Europe? :) Comment from : Ana Marie Villa

Great tips but disagreed that Americans are loud That is not true It all depend on ur background culture Comment from : Elle L

going to italy (maybe more) May 2024 I really like your straight forward, I am planning to take trains around, A viedo from a woman would be amazing Comment from : Lost & Found

Nice job And I might add Europe doesn't use wash cloths😂 Comment from : Cass Cara

❤❤❤ Comment from : nashy carol

Thanks for sharing this video I must say that it's a lot of information to retain 😊 Comment from : Sweety Patnett

Amazing video, fantastic points and beautiful smileI love it Comment from : Shara Jazaeri

Thanks for the tip on travel insurance I find the ones online when booking your trip package is always so expensive Comment from : Sar I

Super advice brI’ll be playing it back several times lol Comment from : victoria smith

I love that you get the information said quicky and in a nice manner Very watchable and I'll go see other videos of yours :) Comment from : Penny Frood

I’m in doubt if I should carry my passport at all times, I’m scared to lose it 😅 Comment from : Bea Landiosi

Okay, in fairness your pacing here is not fast unlike the other video about pickpockets vlog… Comment from : TzS PH-US

Excellent video! Planning to go to Europe next year and these tips are very helpful! Comment from : Stacy Daniels

If you rent bikes in a city where locals use bikes a lot, don't behave like a tourist! Don't stop in the middle of the bike lane and follow the flow and stick to the traffic rules I reared an American woman last summer because she was super slow and came to a sudden stop at an unexpected spot Fortunately there was just some small adjustments which had to be done to the bike (my bike, not hers) after the impact brIf you visit Sweden, be prepared for nearly all payments to be done by card Some places don't even accept cash Comment from : Phalaenopsisify

This is an amazing video!!!! Comment from : Merril Lundgren

going to europe in june! this video was so helpful 😁 definitely subscribing Comment from : lucy bergagnin

This is so helpful!! Comment from : palm_griff_

Make sure you budget time at the airport to find or potentially stand in a line for VATbrThe process itself doesn't take that long for a refund if you're prepared and ready to go, but not every airport has the most obvious signs or laid out spots that are visible if youre easily overwhelmed in a crowded airport brAnd at least in CDG they may not be available after security when youre trying to make it to your gate so take the best opportunity to get that refund when you see it Ask me how I learned that one 🙈 Comment from : Maria

Thanks for the tips, first and most needed hint is how to save money so we can go there … 😮😊❤ Comment from : Relaxation Clips

Don't forget to pack ur respect for other cultures, it's something Americans seem to forget sometimes Comment from : Martijn Keisers

Where did you find the 6am walking tour of venice? Going to Europe for 2 weeks and that is something I would love to do Comment from : Geraldine Mc

Also check out the individual celebration days of each country and be aware that shops/ museums/ attractions might be closed during those time periods I used to work at a hotel and people tend to get very angry about things like independence day or Midsummer celebration :D Comment from : dace

How about travel tips for Spain (mainly Barcelona and Madrid) Comment from : Christian Rodriguez

I’ve been binge-watching all your awesome videos to get prepared for my Europe trip next summer So much great info in very accessible format! Thank you!!! You’re amazing! Comment from : April Popovich

30 seconds in and i'm already lmao by the way us toxic eurocentrists have completely terrorized you poor girl! brLovely introduction to our land Comment from : Alexander Sandmeier

@30:23 Fun Austrian fact: In my Lower Austrian dialect, the aptly named sad gap of death (love that name, btw) is called "Schasgruabn", which directly translates to "fart trench" Yes, we do bring our loveliest language even into our bedroomsbrAlso - great video I do like that you are very respectful toward the diversity of Europe and that you try to help your fellow Americans to enjoy our corner of the earth Safe and happy travels to you! Comment from : idontneedid

Driving in Europe isn't stressfull! But many people stress themselves because they don't know how to behave on the road! Comment from : Kessa S

Hi My name is Todd I'm from Prince Edward Island I'm enjoying your video (still watching) but have a question At 2:34 in your video is an image of some unique architecture (Yellow and Grey) Is that The Netherlands? Cheers Comment from : rowauthority

Great tips ! Very thorough , thank you Comment from : R D

I think vignette is needed in some countries if you are going to use highways, but I am not sure Buses are kind of better because they will be 100 airconditioned Trains might have broken down air conditioning Comment from : travelvideos

Hello, great video!! can you comment on cellphone? should I get a chip in Europe or just pay the international rate from my company? Thanks Comment from : Andrew Fernandes-Ream

Love this! 🤩I made a video specifically about what to know before visiting Italy because there are small things us Americans aren’t aware of that can ruin your trip! Thank you for sharing! 💖 Comment from : Hola Alexandra

These are awesome tips Love the suggestions for various apps in Europe Could you please link the wise card referral as well? Also would love to see train/bus system in Italy, France, and Spain Definitely not used to train travel in the US Thanks a lot! Comment from : Sammy Chem

Talk too fast Comment from : Romualda Sequeira

Fantastic advice, thank you Interested in train travel in Europe as an older solo female Over 60 travel too Comment from : Fiona Carter

The title of the video should be Southern- and Central Europe RE: ALCOHOL Warning when visiting Nordic countries (Norway, Sweeden, Finland, Denmark): If you drink alcohol in a public park you risk getting arrested It is illegal It is somewhat laxed on public beaches but drunkenness is highly frowned upon if there is children/teens around and there is a high chance that someone will call the police Also, at least in Norway, the water is free in restaurants (you get tap water) If you want bottle water you need to ask for it (and pay) There probably are a few exclusive restaurants in Oslo that only offer eg VOSS bottled water but I've never heard of any Where I live the tap water is just as clean as VOSS water Comment from : Tonje Gram

Sim card for germany france italy and belgium Comment from : Dolon Dawn

These are really great tips! Can you make a video about how to use trains in Europe? Thank you! Comment from : Milka H

Thanks Comment from : Susan Jambon

Yes! Train travel guide please! Thank you!!! You’re videos are very helpful Comment from : Abby Lim
