I love smaller places like this that most people haven’t heard of. You can find some hidden gems that way.

Glad you like them!

It’s definitely one of the better tours I’ve been on.

Glad it was helpful.

Also, some countries you have to have an international driving license to be able to drive there.

Great suggestion. If I know I’m going to be walking in a big city, or taking public transportation, I take screen shots of the maps. You can do the same when taking a road trip. If your phone is low on battery, you can still see the pictures in airplane mode.

@NervousNessie Exactly. When in a pickle every percent counts! 😁

Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad you found the video helpful. It’s kind of interesting when you collect money from different countries that ends up being no longer made. For instance, the Italian lira was replaced by the euro.

Thank you. I agree. I felt bad for my friend having to go through that.

Yes it was. I loaded the moving truck with my mattress put on last. The first thing I did when I arrived was to take the mattress into the apartment and sleep. Luckily I planned ahead.

In California it’s fairly easy to find charging stations. Elsewhere, not so much. People have actually made a business of putting generators in their trucks and driving to people with electric cars that have run out of power.

@NervousNessie haha, that is pretty funny 😁 but also convenient when someone does run out of battery. I guess just bringing a power bank won't cut it 😉

That’s a great suggestion, and I wish I could do that. However, I don’t have a table where I live to be able to do this.

Good to know. Thank you for the tip.

Thank you for offering, but I’m not interested at this time.

@@NervousNessie ok

Great question. You have to bring your own lock. If you don’t have one, you can buy one there. I would suggest getting a cable lock. It will fit any type of locker. I have a video on this channel that covers things you should bring when staying in a hostel. The lock is one of those items, and there are links in the description of where to buy it.

I think you’ll love it. Out of all the hostels I’ve stayed in, this one was my favorite. It has such a welcoming vibe and everyone is so nice.

I can’t imagine how scary that must have been for you, especially in the mountains.

@@NervousNessie yeah, you don't want to think too much about what could have happened.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Good, thank you.

Very true.

If you can, try to check in to the hostel as early as possible. Tell them you want a top bunk. They may not have a room available yet, but you’ll be there early enough that it’s kind of first come first served.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Thank you. I think everyone should go at least once.

Thank you.

It’s always nice to have a personal mirror when traveling. Sometimes the lighting in hotel bathrooms is awful and it can come in handy.

Unfortunately they don’t. I took bicycle locks and locked my bags to the bed. Then I also had locks on the zippers to my bags. However, since there is room for only a handful of people, I would think it would be rare for someone to swipe your stuff.

It’s the Swissgear 3760 ScanSmart Laptop Backpack.

@@NervousNessie 👍 Thanks

You’re welcome.

Thank you. I always use packing cubes and this bag seems to hold them perfectly.

I felt very safe at this hostel and the surrounding area. I was able to walk alone, as a woman, late at night within a mile of the hostel. Boston is reported to be one of the safest cities in the country, if not the safest, for women to walk alone. I completely agree with that, and the hostel is no exception.

@@NervousNessie thanks alot for your reply and review.

@@หาเรื่องเที่ยว-ฌ1ฆ You're welcome.

There are hotels within walking distance to the entrance of the park. I’ve stayed at one of them before (I can’t remember which one but it was nice). The metro line (subway) is also within walking distance of the park. You can take the metro to various parts of LA. That metro line is the purple line (they are all color coded). It will take you into Hollywood, where you can check out the Hollywood walk of fame. It also runs all the way into downtown LA, where you can connect to other metro lines. For a week’s stay, I would say to check out the walk of fame, Griffith observatory, La Brea tar pits, and the Santa Monica pier. LA is too large to see everything in a week, but the places I mentioned are frequently featured in movies and tv shows, so it’s kind of cool to say you’ve been there.

@@NervousNessie Sounds amazing! I wouldn't need to see all of LA but some of it would be nice. Though I could probably also stay at Universal Studios the whole week 😁

@@maven22 I completely understand. It's been years since I've been to Universal Studios Orlando Florida, and they've added so much including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Next year they are adding a whole new park with even more Harry Potter. I'm hoping to go once they are done and spend a week there as well.

Thank you for watching.

Every airline has different weight limits for checked luggage and carry on luggage. The way I determine it for myself is if I can pick up the bag without any struggles. If I seem to struggle, or if I’m in doubt, I’ll weigh the bag and check what the limits are.

I always carry more than I need, but some of my tops and bottoms can be mixed to make new outfits.

I hate that you’ve become disappointed with the Peak Design bag. I still love mine. I will agree with you that the bag is a bit heavy when empty. Also, the straps do become loose when you wear the bag for long periods of time. I’ve found it handy to let the straps dangle a little so that as you’re walking, you can tighten them as needed. If your straps are really loose, maybe reach out to the company and see what they suggest?

@@NervousNessie they are a bit in between. They are not too loose, but I adjust them while wearing them. I'm always on the look out for new bags and maybe I'll sell the peak design at some point.

I think anything that has straps you’ll have to adjust with wear and tear.

Thank you so much. Review videos are definitely coming soon. I used to have a neck pillow that I carried with me when I first started traveling. However, I quickly got rid of it. I found that it was a hassle to keep up with since they are kind of bulky. If you get one with a snap, you could hang it off your luggage, which is what I did. However, when walking through an airport, I found it catching on things as I walked. I also thought it was a little hot when I wore it. Overall, I feel like they are more of a hassle than they are worth.

I agree. Hotels are nice for privacy, but can also feel cold and make you feel lonely if traveling alone.

Me too.

I've found that it doesn't matter where you go along the edge of the lake, the view of Chicago is always breathtaking.

It’s one of my favorite cities.

I agree. I really think it’s all about which room you stay in.

Thank you.

There are some problems in your channel and that's why you don’t get more audience. I can help you to fix these problems.

@@MehediHasan-lt4wq Thank you for offering to fix the problems you see.

Thank you. I hope you like it as much as I do.

This was a mixed dorm. They do have all female or male dorms available though.

Thanks

There is another one, Kex. I haven’t stayed there though.

You’re welcome. There are definitely some hidden gems in DC.

Yes you can.

Thank you. I feel like the upgrade is worth it if the train is really packed, the ride is four hours or more, or if you feel like you need more leg room to stretch your legs without having to stand up.

I have quirky things that I collect. Like you, I also collect Lego. Mine are all Harry Potter themed. I also collect Nano Blocks. They are a mini version of Lego (which is great because they are cheaper and take up less space).

Yeah I was sad to see that Chicago lost. I'd like to watch a Bears game in person the next time I go back to Chicago.

Thank you kindly
