Amalfi forsure! Positano is nice too but you can just go there for a day trip

I’m actually half Jordanian and have been before but didn’t vlog it. Next time I go I def will

Thanks for the info. I see it’s an additional tax on travelers saying overnight in hotels/hostels etc. They say it’s to help pay for the pressure that the additional travelers put on the infrastructure and cities. Curious how much extra it is. What do you mean by “hate crime”

@@journeyman_ram It is a law introduced by a majority of Holyrood politicians to bring Scotland's hate crime laws up to date with the likes of England and a few other countries. The problem is the MSM are making it out to be bad for free speech which it really isn't but it is the usual anti-Scottish news that is always on. It was a Majority of Scottish Holyrood Politicians who passed this law yet you only ever hear it is the SNP's fault. The tax on travellers is basically for what you said...

What is?

I’ve lived in California and New York and both states make you pay first before pumping

Lol why do you think that? Shan is actually a Sagittarius and I’m a Gemini 😂. @austinstitzel

Yea we didn’t have enough time of I would have. Thanks for the heads up!

Great Advise, thank you!

That’s the goal!

Going to have to disagree with you there. Google is your friend

@@journeyman_ram lol...there is Google and there is the truth... who is there president and name their armies.

The concept of what constitutes a “country” can vary based on political, historical, and social contexts. In the case of Scotland, it has a distinct identity, legal system, and education system, among other characteristics that contribute to its status as a country. Scotland does not have a president because it is not a republic; it is part of a constitutional monarchy under the British Crown. Scotland has its own devolved government, including the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government, which have powers over many aspects of domestic policy. As for an army, Scotland does not have its own separate military because defense matters are reserved to the UK government. The British Armed Forces are responsible for the defense of the entire United Kingdom, including Scotland. However, Scotland has historically contributed significantly to the UK’s military forces and has several military bases within its territory. This setup is part of the United Kingdom’s structure of devolved and reserved powers, where Scotland has autonomy over certain aspects of governance but shares other powers, like defense and foreign affairs, with the UK government. This arrangement allows Scotland to maintain aspects of its national identity and self-determination within the context of a larger sovereign state.

@@journeyman_ram not true, the are part of the United Kingdom

Scotland is a country.national anthem flower of Scotland we are part of GB but everyone in Scotland will tell u there Scottish.

Me

@@journeyman_ram Haha. That's alright then 👍

I did say Scotland not all of the UK. And while that may be happening in other parts I didn’t notice any of that in Scotland, especially Inverness and surrounding areas

Lochs means Lake. I know it’s called Loch Ness but I was translating what Loch means

@@journeyman_ram enjoyed your film think your both grand ..didnt mean to come over as negative well done .

Thank you! And didn’t think you were, was just clarifying what I meant by saying Lake

@@journeyman_ram there is a lake in Scotland, the Lake of Menteith. I might have spelled that wrong...

@kayandmarcos3271 glad you enjoyed it! I believe there’s only 1 airport in Inverness and yea we rented a car from Inverness airport and drove it one way to Edinburgh. Be ready for the long ride!

Go to Oban and take a ferry ride to the Isle of Mull.

Where did you go specifically? I bet it was an amazing honeymoon spot

In my opinion it’s underrated because in the USA we don’t look at Scotland as a destination to travel to on vacation and no one ever speaks about how special it is. Once I went there, it became one of my favorite countries I’ve ever traveled to. This is why I consider it underrated

@@journeyman_ram Yeah well, there's a couple countries out there that are not the usa, and we all look at Scotland as a travel destination.

@@Dave1507 That's great. My goal with the video is help people from countries like the USA understand why they should travel to Scotland

same! @@journeyman_ram

@@journeyman_rami know lots of Americans, they love Scotland as a destination, millions of Americans identify Scotland as thier ancestral home because of their heritage

It’s the best

LETS GO COCKBURN

I used to work on Cockburn Street in the late 1970s, in what is now occupied by Viva Mexico. It is a fabulous street, as is nearby Victoria Street, just a few minutes away. Though the Old Town is interesting, I recommend also the New Town, which is literally a couple minutes' walk from the bottom of Cockburn Street. Go beyond the first four streets - Princes, Rose, George, Queen - which are all commercial, and down into the residential areas. Starting in Charlotte Square > Moray Place > Ainslie Place > Randolph Crescent. Turn right onto the Dean Bridge and look over both sides before doing an about face and heading down Bell's Brae into Dean Village. Explore there, then take the path under the Dean Bridge (at the bottom of Bell's Brae) to Stockbridge for shops and eats as well as Circus Place and St. Stephen Street. From the latter down Clarence Street and cut across to Saxe Coburg Place, at the far end of which there are stairs leading down to the fabulous series of short streets on Glenogle Road (with the large red-brick Glenogle Baths). From here you are minutes away from Canonmills/Inverleith and the Royal Botanic Gardens. From there - or anywhere along the way - you can walk back up the hill to the city centre. Check it out on a map. On a nice day walking that walkway is, IMO, one of the most enjoyable Edinburgh experiences. (Even better, after looking off Dean Bridge, take Belford Rd. instead of Bell's Brae - they're side by side - and start at the Gallery of Modern Art (One and Two) and get down to the walkway via steps at Belford Bridge. This will take you to Dean Village.) Whatever you decide to do, Edinburgh is a fantastic city...though its real gems lie just beyond the touristy bits.

Thanks for sharing!!

@@journeyman_ram It's pronounced Coe-Burn lol

Co - burn street is how its said

Thanks for the heads up. I would have had no idea

Glad you enjoyed it!

About 4 hours i believe

Here you go! www.airbnb.com/experiences/230299?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=dd83b3e2-ca3c-414a-a7bd-a4437e22f449

We booked a month before so we didn't have many options and these spots were pretty pricy but they were beautiful. Def recommend them. I use chatgpt to help get intel on top places to stay when I travel

haha not a bad place to be from!

Just so you know, since my father is a "gondoliere" (one of those guys who drive gondolas): 1. The prices are set by the municipality itself (Day ride is set at 80€ for 30 minutes, while between 7pm and 8am is 100€) so the Gondoliere doesn't decide much (sometimes they make you pay more than that though) 2. To become a Gondoliere it's really hard. You need to know how to swim very well, you basically need to be a lifeguard, you need to be a good rower, you need to attend a specific school (that teaches you the history of Venice and nowadays even english) and you also need to pass an exam that you can attempt only once every 5 years. Even if you happen to pass the exam you must do 12 months of stage. 3. Gondolieri don't earn that much because they don't have a constant flow of customers, sometimes they wait 2-3 hours to have one. An average income would be around 2500€ after-tax, which is surely higher than the average Italian income, but not that high if you live in Venice😂 4. On average, the cost of a gondola varies from 30.000€ to 50.000€; some specimens of particular refinement and preciousness of the finishes can have an even higher cost

Wow this is incredibly informative and I would have had no idea. Much respect to your dad!! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! And they just slip out occasionally when I'm fired up! Venice will do that to you ;)

I booked it a month ahead

Thank you! And sure thing, here is the exact company I booked from: lakecomoexperiences.com/experiences/boat-tour-venetian-limousine/. Def recommend it!

I’m sure that’s going to be a pricey and beautiful wedding!

Good to know

cis-teen?

Interesting

@@journeyman_ram London is not a country, it is the capital city of the UK. Although there is a 'city within a city', the City of London is separate from what is generally known as London. And has a fascinating history. And Washington D.C is a federal district that does not belong to any state in the US. Other Micro-states do exist in Europe though, like Lichtenstein which is made up of just one city.

Hahaha I wonder whyyy

Mommy said no

I know right. We’re living in a simulation

I bet. That place has seen some changes throughout its history
