I Played Monopoly Travel Edition In Real Life - Episode 3

[@tmttvf]

As soon as Simon steps foot on foreign soil, he magically becomes Shímone.

[@IDWHACKYE]

C MON

[@Barelyeditz12]

So true

[@annabellecook7127]

This is so funny 😂

[@travelmaltaculture]

He will become Xmun in Malta one day !

[@likemike751]

[@swit1905]

With every new Simon Wilson series, I find myself asking, “Why are videos of this guy walking around seeing different sites SO entertaining? What makes this different from all the other travel videos?” And every time, the reason I come back to is how much of a stand-up guy he is. Seriously, lots of people could go and do these things and film them, but only Simon can make them so incredibly fun to watch!

[@csharp421]

Also he makes these dream locations for many people so accessible to the viewers

[@Spifey]

I’ve got an awful attention span but I can watch these entire vids with ease

[@junowunno1583]

Same here lol, he makes great content

[@TejYT]

Ayy spifey love ur content too

[@maritvdhoek]

Ariana what are you doing here??

[@_JC_21]

Quick cuts. That helps.

[@CountryKamz]

U got a tiktok addiction yer

[@BasedinReality1984]

Well…Greece officially has the most honest taxi drivers in the world.

[@osbesbucuk1912]

i was impressed by how honest that taxi driver was... as a turk i wish our taxi drivers were as honest as greek ones

[@ghislainhofman7097]

Common in some countries like Spain S lose licence if try do people over

[@MavroProductions]

This is false... and I am Greek, he must have gotten the luck of the draw.

[@Psiilocybe]

​@@MavroProductionsdepends on the taxi company, there are serious ones and no so serious ones. But when I go visit my grandma near Saloniki I always got good prices.

[@Vitorgava]

I think it depends on the taxi driver. I just came back from Greece (Zakinthos) and a taxi driver charged me €30 for a 15 minute trip and the next day going to the same place another driver said that the fix price is actually €15

[@thomasmorris7270]

Simon Wilson is the nicest most genuine person I’ve watched in this platform

[@fraserkatie]

Hes gorgeous!

[@markussyrjala7152]

@thomas I agree!

[@16Bailey]

Agreed, what a guy

[@Twallrion]

I don't want to speculate, but I've heard he was kicked out of Isis for kicking babies

[@jonsinger7272]

Totally agree 💯

[@SakunaJ]

I haven't got a clue where I'm going - Simon's theme

[@JoeyBeansLI]

He should make that into a merch shirt!! 🤙🏻

[@kotkot1432]

I paused the video and then read this comment as I play the video, hearing him say this...

[@stewiegiligan]

That sorted me right out.

[@johnwalsh5634]

Simon really out here booking flights like an uber 😂, love the content!

[@joytekb]

Anytime i watch Simon videos it make my day. His politeness, passion , good energy he brings has no much.

[@Mayimbeoo7]

Watching Simon globe trot is highly entertaining. This challenge reminds me of his 7 continents in 7 days challenge.

[@Adventures_in_Magic]

I was thinking the same thing and I have watched that a few times .

[@crab.78]

Thank you for doing this for all of your fans! I really respect your work for us!

[@dontpanic716]

Felt the great vibes from that Taxi driver. 180 degrees from the istanbul one. Im with Simon. Chuck the whole challenge and just grab a ferry to Santorini.

[@iGeekozoid]

He could just do the "challenge" at a more relaxed pace. If he gave himself two days wherever he went instead of one, he'd probably actually be able to see these sites instead of just constantly rushing.

[@dontpanic716]

@@iGeekozoid For sure. There is no reason really he needs to be in and out. I would be interested in seeing more of the area directly around the challenge spot. A quick meal somewhere and a random walk would be a lot of fun and he can be back at the airport before needing a hotel.

[@annabellecook7127]

@@dontpanic716yeah a lot of these videos have been the travelling we didn’t see Greece almost until the end

[@-Emon-_]

That Greek taxi driver was so sound. Fair play.

[@amardudic6753]

Sound? What does that mean?

[@thwalesproductions]

@@amardudic6753 British slang for nice/cool depending on context

[@amardudic6753]

@@thwalesproductions Nice, thanks. Didn't know that and my English is normally pretty good 🤣

[@jackson9143678]

And not to mention this is the first time Simon wasn't actually ripped off by a taxi driver 😂

[@OneHunnitNoCapStannitOnBidnisz]

What’s fair play supposed to mean

[@bewhitey]

Simon is hilarious, rushing around everywhere. So rushed he is like "there it is, the Acropolis" as he points at the Parthenon. Slow down brotha, enjoy life. Don't live like the rest of us rats

[@ConstantThrowing]

Greatest series on KZbin at the moment. And it's literally a nice lad from North Wales enjoying himself.

[@alexdavis5766]

I’ve been impatiently waiting for this episode to land, this series is amazing and so unique which is hard for KZbin nowadays. Love it

[@plumicorn]

Love this series so much! Who have thought that you can get home in this complete madness!

[@bigjobby11]

Why the rush? Just spend an extra day in each place and see the sights properly . Great series btw. 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@OneHunnitNoCapStannitOnBidnisz]

He said wales is a country near England that’s better then England. Does he really believe wales is better than England ?

[@cannonfodder15]

These remind me of old school Simon Wilson. Now I just need Simon to not disappear for 3 months till his next series

[@RBHD93]

gotta say, this is a really good idea and series - I've been invested since the get go. Maybe in the future you could do a similar one with Jenga and each piece has a destination on it.

[@HalimWander]

it look more n more interesting..but monopoly game does not have time requirement,so u dont have to rush to every destination 😅

[@antuanschocrofthasbeenhack1432]

Imagine travelling several hours and paying several hundred euros just to see a monument for 15 mins. Absolute ludicrous!

[@Parny07]

It’s so great to see you uploading again Simon, your videos brighten my day!

[@jimmyh8959]

Defo should've got a hotel and visited the Acropolis the next day 😆 You're a legend Simone!

[@buckinghamandchester]

At 1:18 the dice are on One and Five which he then goes and rolls. Hmm... Lovin the series.

[@owing9]

Simon: “The traffic is horrible” Driver: “No, it’s happy dappy”

[@Brikks45]

The Acropolis and its surrounding area, is looking so much better than it did 11 years ago. Great content Shímone

[@Hydro347]

Avid traveller myself, and love how you make it look so easy. A thought that came to my mind when you got to Athens airport was the other passengers with you are likely families that have waited a year or so for this holiday, you got up smashed a gym routine and went for it, no baggage nothing just experience. You have deffo come a long way since your earlier videos Simon! Would love to see a collab between you and Kurt Caz too! two proper nice guys!

[@franjeffery5913]

Came across your channel through my recommended and absolutely loved the first video I watched which was the first one in this series. 5 days later, I have binged watched nearly every one of your videos. I love how humble and down to earth you still are even after your channel has really taken off. I also love how much you have gone out of your way to help others and the world definitely needs more genuine and kind people like you. Keep up the good work and thank you for showing someone who can't afford to travel beautiful counties and showing that there is still faith in humanity. You have LITERALLY opened my eyes to a whole new world so thank you ❤️ p.s I really want to go travelling now 🤣

[@Sharon-ch7cg]

Props to Mike the europcar guy, was funny when he shouted his farewell back from inside the car and how he only cared it had all 4 wheels. What a legend. Glad you finally got a taxi driver who wasn't trying to pull one over on you. So looking forward to the next one :)

[@raychul33]

Simon, the Acropolis was the hill. The building was the Parthenon lol

[@akarminius]

Hahaha

[@MrBenLanserius]

"Great wall of China... don't even know where that is!" Laughed out loud at that one mate!

[@ChinaDollTravels]

These monopoly episodes are so fun to watch every time the bell 🛎️ notification pops up I click on it so fast 💨 lol 😂

[@Kwstassse]

Great video Simon! Im from Greece. Just to let you know for your next visit in athens, you can take the train from the airport which takes you straight to center of athens close to acropolis and it costs 10€ , much cheaper than taxi

[@sfotinos22]

That earlier flight would have did ya good, so much more to explore in Greece, but glad ya got to get home for a bit! Hopefully one day you can travel there for a few days and vlog in a few of the lesser know islands . Santorini and mykonos don’t do greece justice.

[@Hiphop618]

Agreed, just returned from holiday in Spetses and Hydra. Absolutely gorgeous! And probably way less crowded than Santorini and Mykonos.

[@hiimaaron8209]

FINALLY BEEN CHECKING YOUR CHANNEL FOR DAYS FOR THIS EPISODE

[@RLJIM]

Another amazing episode, love how easy you make it look, wake up in the morning in the UK, gym session and by the evening just casually walking around Athens.

[@thebaneofodinsaga]

Yeeeeeees! I love this idea Simon! So fin to follow along. I’m waiting for each new episode, can’t get enough. Thanks!

[@paddy1]

Also, I did not expect the guy who only wears black to have a totally white bedroom 😅

The Acropolis looks unreal. Mad how back then they just built these structures on hills for fun and still standing.

[@leftyn2301]

if you also think that Greece has been invaded, bombarded etc. multiple times is even more impressive

[@itzmekimie]

Congrats on the weight loss. I definitely noticed the change. Loving all this new content we've been getting from you.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

This is a great series. Have you ever heard of the Mandela Effect? It tries to explain 'false memories'. I noticed you have the Monopoly Man 'tattooed' on your left arm. Did you know Mr. Monopoly NEVER had a monocle? 9 out of 10 people swear he did... but he didn't.

This is genuinely one of the best things you have ever done. I LOVE IT! Buy you a pint in Dubai when you are back as a thank you

[@scottswift8153]

I don't understand how people hate the gym. I absolutely love it a day or two without and I'm falling apart. The mental health benefits, having a body that is pleasing to look at, being stronger physically and your cardiovascular system being improved so good. It can be hard to start, but after a month or 2 going 3 to 4 times a week, eating decent it becomes secound nature. Like showering it's just a part of your day and when you get results it's addictive. Don't give up it only gets better.

[@masongrönskog]

2:27 "Luton is a bit far". According to Google maps, Luton is only 30 min more by car than Heathrow from Stonehenge.

The difference between the taxi drivers in Athens compared to Istanbul is so evident in this video. Athens has a fixed fee for getting from the airport to the city centre. Very much like some other EU countries
