Hi guys, I hope autumn is treating you well! ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ As we slowly say goodbye to summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, I have some exciting news to share. Iโ€™m launching a brand-new concept on my channel โ€“ a Bucket List Adventure Series that starts today! โœจ

During my journey around the world, I picked 6 truly unique places in the Southern Hemisphere:
๐Ÿœ๏ธ The Outback in Australia
๐Ÿ๏ธ Taveuni Island in Fiji
๐Ÿ”๏ธ Patagonia in Chile (W Trek)
๐Ÿ—ฟ Easter Island in Chile
๐ŸŒ‹ The Atacama Desert in Chile
๐Ÿฆ’ Etosha National Park in Namibia

The very first episode is now live, and weโ€™re kicking things off with the Australian Outback โ€“ one of the most remote, wild, and fascinating places on Earth. Itโ€™s stunning, a little dangerous, and absolutely unforgettable.

So grab a cup of โ˜•๏ธ, sit back, and join me on this adventure. Wishing you all a wonderful day! โ˜€๏ธ

P.S. Donโ€™t worry โ€“ the How to Travel Itineraries will still keep coming so you can easily plan your trips. ๐Ÿ˜‰

It is no secret that Namibia was my favourite country we visited on our journey around the world ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. We rented a Toyota Bushcamper for an epic road trip, and for the first time ever, we tried living in a car โ€“ it was amazing! We visited some of the most insane places on Earth. It was probably my favourite video ever to shoot and edit! Thanks, Namibia, for having us ๐Ÿค

Video How to Travel Namibia in 10 Days (Epic Road Trip in Toyota Bushcamper) is finally out NOW! ๐Ÿค—

Australia was the first country we visited on our journey around the world in the Southern Hemisphere. After I-donโ€™t-even-know-how-long of a flight from Prague via Doha, we finally arrived in Sydney and began our incredible 17-day adventure through the East Coast and the Outback. After months of editing, the new video is finally out! I hope you enjoy itโ€”and maybe it will inspire your next travels. โค๏ธ

We are off โ€“ the JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD begins now! โœจ

Itโ€™s December 27th. We had a beautiful Christmas with our families, and now weโ€™re taking a two-month sabbatical from our jobs to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure - a journey around the world in the Southern Hemisphere โœˆ๏ธ๐ŸŒ!

The rules are simple:
โœ๏ธ 2 months
โœ๏ธ Only countries below the equator
โœ๏ธ Complete a full circle around the globe
โœ๏ธ Epic adventures are a must

We have a rough plan and some flights booked, but most of the adventure will be decided as we go! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Weโ€™re now boarding our flight, leaving freezing Europe behind. In just 25 hours, weโ€™ll be soaking up the sun in Australia.

I promise to shoot as many awesome videos as possible and keep it as real as possible. This journey will be fun and exciting, and I canโ€™t wait to take you along โค๏ธ

Bye Europe, see ya in March ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Hi there, my YT friends! ๐Ÿฅฐ Just spent a couple of unforgettable days in San Francisco! Here are the highlights I want to save as they become beautiful memories. ๐Ÿฅฐ

San Franciscoโ€™s charm is incredible, from the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to the bustling streets of Chinatown. ๐Ÿœ Every corner of this city has something special to offer. Whether itโ€™s riding the historic cable cars ๐Ÿšƒ, watching the seals at Pier 39 ๐Ÿฆญ, eating shrimp ร  la Forrest Gump at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. ๐Ÿฆ, driving down the most crooked Lombard Street, or admiring the beautiful SF skyline from the Twin Peaks viewpoint ๐Ÿ™๏ธ, there's always a thrill around the corner.

California is a destination I canโ€™t get enough ofโ€”thereโ€™s always something new to explore and experience. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Iโ€™ve made a deal with myself that I will visit the U.S. at least once every three years!

Back in San Francisco! ๐ŸŒ‰

This is my third time visiting, but itโ€™s been quite a while since my last trip. With all the recent headlines about the cityโ€™s challenges, I wasnโ€™t sure what to expect. Reports of filth, homelessness, and fentanyl addiction, especially in areas like the Tenderloin, were concerning and all over the news.

But Iโ€™m thrilled to see that San Francisco still retains its charm. Itโ€™s as beautiful, vibrant, and innovative as ever. The iconic cable cars, the stunning waterfront, and the cute neighborhoods with their little colorful houses all remind me why I love this city so much. It is good to be back โค๏ธ

โ€ผ๏ธ Breaking the Myth: Japan Being Expensive is NOT True Anymore!

Japan is no longer one of the most expensive countries to travel to. Did you know that right now, itโ€™s surprisingly affordable to travel here?

The Japanese Yen rate is at one of the lowest rates itโ€™s been in 34 years compared to USD, making everything a steal for foreigners! Plus let me tell you the biggest travel hack: you can shop tax-free! Everything from clothes, cosmetics, electronics, etc. - just flash your passport and watch prices drop by 10%.

And hereโ€™s the cherry on top: no tipping in restaurants is required. Itโ€™s actually considered rude. One time, we left a tip and they chased us from the restaurant, thinking that we forgot the money there. Oh, and did I mention thereโ€™s a habit of free water at restaurants?๐ŸฅคJust like in the US. All of this really shows when the final bill arrives โ˜บ๏ธ.

After spending our last vacations mostly in Southeast Asia, where the prices are a real steal (for example, $2 for lunch), we were scared to travel to Japan as we thought it would ruin us financially. What a pleasant surprise this has been ๐Ÿฅฐ. So for everyone postponing your Japan trip due to fear of price tags, NOW is the time, guys! โœˆ๏ธ

And yes, I am leaving with 3 pairs of new sneakers, lots of cosmetics that are the best quality here in Japan, a new mic for my videos, aaand Iโ€™m not even done yet ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ.

We have finally taken a trip to Japan! ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ตDuring and after the pandemic, Japan has been closed for a very long time. Visiting Japan was my wish forever, and we finally sealed the deal!

Here are my 7 first impressions of Japan:

1. The cleanliness and tidiness of streets and public spaces are incredible ๐Ÿงน. How they can keep Tokyo - the largest city in the world - so clean blows my mind.
2. The politeness and respectfulness of the people are like nowhere else ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ. I mean it. People bow to each other regularly.
3. The efficient and punctual public transportation systems are top-notch โฑ๏ธ.
4. The advanced technology integrated into daily life is awesome. Riding the Shinkansen, one of the fastest trains in the world, is a beautiful example ๐Ÿš„.
5. The rich cultural heritage evident in architecture - breathtaking temples on every corner ๐Ÿฏ.
6. The delicious cuisine - my favorite so far is ramen ๐Ÿœ, gyoza ๐ŸฅŸ, sushi ๐Ÿฃ, tempura ๐Ÿค, and Japanese pancakes ๐Ÿฅž. Everything we've had here so far has been 10/10, and 9/10 at worst.
7. The safety and low crime rates make it a comfortable place to explore. I feel safe walking at night everywhere โœจ.

Everyone told me that Japan is expensive. It honestly didnโ€™t seem like it. Then we realized that the Japanese yen is the lowest compared to the USD in 34 years. We are now paying 30% less than we would have paid 3 years ago! This makes traveling Japan beautifully affordable ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

โ€ผ๏ธHappy to announce that there will be a Japanese series! One video, 'How to Travel Japan,' and then vlogs from each place with the same logic as the Philippines series โค๏ธ Hope you will love it โค๏ธ

Sending love from Japan, my YouTube friends ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

๐ŸŒ‹ Just wanted to share the most incredible adventure exploring the volcanic landscape of Teide National Park in Tenerife! ๐Ÿ”๏ธ Pico de Teide, the highest peak in Tenerife and Spain, looks super majestic. Walking on terrain formed by ancient lava flows was unlike anything Iโ€™ve ever experienced โ€“ so thrilling! Traveling for me is all about discovering new places that are completely different than my hometown, and this was IT! I absolutely love that feeling when you are surrounded by a landscape different from anything you have ever seen before ๐Ÿซ . This felt like a place from Lord of the Rings.

Have a lovely Saturday wherever you are, whether you are discovering beautiful unique places in the world or relaxing at home ๐Ÿก.
