I've loved the videos with you and Caterina. You've both done an amazing job humanising rarely seen parts of the world. Thanks for all the entertaining and informative videos. Hope you both have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

[@BackpackerBen]

Thank you Alex! All the best mate

@@BackpackerBen did you do what she wanted you to do? :))))) Glad your channel keeps growing!

Notice: at 10:17 she slaps her on the left b*** c***! Naughty Iraqi woman!

@@BackpackerBen Well, you've got to be in either France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco, or Switzerland seeing as people were speaking French at the end of the video.

[@hozay09]

Found your channel watching Bald and been hooked since. Great content and Cat will be greatly missed! She’s the perfect travel partner.

[@BackpackerBen]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@hermione8253]

She left you ? I don't blame her 🤣 Catarina is the best travel companion ever. Never complains, even when surrounded by geese and cows or having to eat animal brains. Always smiling and in a good mood. Have a good rest, Catarina ❤

[@m.b.blenkoblanka4167]

I agree! Yes!

[@wolfievilla5857]

You know what- your channel has grown on me massively. Your content is so real and the journeys you have made to show it are awesome. I think we will miss Cat. Don’t let her leave for good- she is an absolute keeper. Take care mate and thank you again for brightening my days.

[@annmarief.4822]

I would love to see you and Cat travelling around the pacific....New Guinea, Solomons..Tuvalu, Nuie places tourists dont often go

[@Windowgemz]

That was a brilliant series with Cat...loved each and every film. Really hope you two can get back on the road together soon.

[@jondurr]

Catarina will be missed just as bad as Alina Adzika from Bald & Bankrupt!

[@LyixSuegar]

Yes, that's right, I remember when Alina stole a cat 🐈 in Cuba. 😁

[@AbbyMcGowan]

He mentioned Alina in one of his recent videos!

[@Uuusssaaas]

Kat is the perfect travel companion. Alina is either pouting or complaining. Kat improves Backpacker's videos. Alina is annoying. More Kat please!

[@Scram673]

Would love to see you and Katie in Australia. Camping.

[@sunkenindeaf]

12:01 --- She says: _"You're lucky that you've found such a lovely girl."_ Not sure if Ben understands Turkish, but his response is accurate: _"Yes, exactly."_ Randomly, it's been my first visit to this channel, but it does not take long to notice that Cat is absolutely adorable. ^_^ ---All safe, all well to both. _(Not that it matters, but the Turkish bath was a touristic establishment, as opposed to being authentic. It's unisex, yet it's likely that local men would not be admitted. The attendants are probably Southeast Asian.)_

[@1mikefrost]

You're a great team Ben. We'll all miss her !

[@shaungillingham4689]

Ben I was hoping to hear wedding bells! We'll all miss Kat!

Thank you fellow Ben

[@harvey22]

Why did she have to go? The videos will not be the same. Damn, I hate to see her leave. I admit I shed a tear or two when you two parted. I really enjoyed the series with the two of you. Your last adventure in Istanbul was epic -- especially the bath scene. I can't wait to see Cat's return. Until then, I wait with baited breath. Best of luck to both you. Cheers from Richard in Reno

[@darrenalevi3006]

Love the channel Ben always a true pleasure seeing you share the world with us

[@BackpackerBen]

Much appreciated mate!!

[@pieterschalkwyk8354]

Hi Ben. You and Cat put a smile on my face when I needed the most. I found your videos interesting sometimes funny with historical and geographical information which I never would have knew. Thanks for charing your experiences with us. Stay safe and greetings to Cat.

[@milhouse7145]

As a single guy, I normally dislike couple travel videos because some of the adventure is taken out in order to ensure safety. However, Kat is such a trooper and so positive she really complements Ben well. She will be missed and we look forward to her rejoining someday in the future.

[@BackpackerBen]

Appreciate that mate!

[@Uuusssaaas]

[@kimblecheat]

All in, for two-excellently done at that cost.

[@YonexCC]

Man, I don't know how you travel vloggers can hit country to country back to back. Probably the reason why I sub to y'all. I would like to chime in my own thoughts as a very small, traveler myself. I prefer spending more money and more time in one country to enjoy and encounter everything it offers rather than spend 2 or 3 miserably days rushing from spot to spot. With those short 3-4 day country visits, you barely have a chance to experience the food, the culture, and the many locations while being exhausted and rushed from traveling. I did an 18 day Euro trip through Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, and London. While it was fun, I was miserable because we were running on 4-6 hours of sleep per day and my feet were dead from just rushing from spot to spot. Good info to hear what estimated spending you guys did in those last 2.5 months through 7 countries. If I recall, I think my total cost came around 2.5k or so (we weren't looking for dirt cheap stuff) for our euro trip. I did a 2 week trip in Japan (tokyo area and Kyoto) which cost me about 2k as well. Japan is not cheap at all (arguably I'd say it's just as expensive as the US), but that money was well worth spent.

[@FuuHolliday]

Catarina is a trooper

[@DuncYo]

You need to pursue and marry her asap! You could end up with someone who complains 24/7!! 😄

[@AliG-rc6ox]

dont tell me your going to North Korea Ben, enjoyed the Video in Iraq, someplace I will never visit being Israeli.

[@DEVINdevdev]

1) Love Ben's humor, I truly still laugh at that timor leste bus and your emotions. And this is only one of many. 2) Catarina is eyecandy on another level, I think his awesome personality enhance this

Not difficult to work out the country given the French language & the Belgian number plates! Also, to be a pedant, you say you are going back to Europe but the bit of Istanbul you were in, isn't that in Europe or were you on the Asian side?
