ABOUT ME
My name is Keanu and I create detailed travel guides to help take the guesswork (and stress) out of travel planning.
The purpose of this channel is to inspire your next trip/adventure/vacation and help you figure out what to do once you're there.
Currently, I work a full time job (sadly, not KZbin) and utilize my (very limited) vacation time and PTO as strategically as possible to make several trips throughout the year.
What do I like to do when traveling? I like to eat. I like to hike. I like to see amazing landscapes. When I’m in a new destination, I like to “do as the Romans do.” So you should expect a mixture of all of that in my videos.
Don’t miss out on the journey! - Keanu

Wonderful, very helpful information, your videos tips and price break down over all i loved it. Thank you for your hard work. :)

[@roxanneeusebio8590]

Love how you broke everything down! I'm currently planning my bachelorette for June, and will definitely refer back to your recommendations!

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

Thanks, glad to help! If you have any specific questions when it gets closer, feel free to ask!

[@dv7283]

Love magnets - I also collect magnets of places I have been to ;)

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

A fellow magnet collector!

[@shortyrok1]

Hey Keanu love your videos! I'm planning a trip to Cabo and I will be referencing your videos when I go. And I also collect magnets of the places I visit. Sometimes I just look at them while I'm eating and take trips down memory lane. Lol

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

@@shortyrok1 I honestly do the same. I’ll stand in front of my fridge and just admire them.

[@margarettuimising9995]

Very helpful! Happy travels.❤

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

Thank you! Yes, happy travels!

[@Luat-wm2fh]

Love that you're sharing the cost as we are planning a 7-day trip to Cabo in August. Would you recommend us renting a car the whole time there?

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

It really depends on where you are staying and what activities you have planned. For example, if you were staying in the tourist corridor and want to do exploring in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo, then renting a car for the entire trip for may be worth it for its convenience. But if you were staying in Cabo San Lucas at an all inclusive and you just want to lounge at your hotel or checkout the city center, then may be you don’t need to rent a car at all. I personally only rented a car for one day for the day trip to Balandra Beach, everything else we just took an uber or taxi. Hope that helps!

[@Sunbeach24]

I would love to see your magnet collection! It looks fascinating really. Magnets really are the best souvenirs. I am a new Travel Advisor and Cabo is my mom's favorite spot, so I really appreciate your videos! I am helping create a trip for her for later this year and your tips are coming in handy! It's been fun practicing mock proposals with a Cabo vacation in mind! Also, really loved that you shared your budget! I love tracking expenses and seeing how much it all ends up being. So helpful for all of us planners out there as well. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more of your videos! :)

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

I’m glad I could be of help! I hope you’re mom has a good time. And I agree, magnets make great souvenirs because I get to see them everyday when I open my fridge. Also, much less expensive than buying a sweater. If I do make a video on it, I’d want to highlight my favorite ones. Thanks for the comment 😃

[@amorpugh4959]

Appreciate your Great advice. Going to Cabo this June 🥂🍾

[@phase005]

Very helpful! Thank you

[@Wolfemother3]

What an awesome, honest video! We are going to Cabo for a friends wedding, this was so helpful. Our stay will be in an all inclusive (we’ve never done) so the price breakdown will be a bit different, also we’re flying from Colorado, so flight is a bit more as well. But great info all around! 👍🏼 thanks Keanu!

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

You’re welcome! You’re gonna have a great time!

[@karengranados280]

Okay, that's super cheap. We paid about 1600 pp for a week in the DR. Of course, it was all inclusive for 7 days. I'd love to see Cabo! Thanks for sharing.

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

$1600 for the DR sign me up!

[@roberthealy1250]

Thanks for all your tips dude! I’ll be in Cabo next week and I’m excited to explore, based on your recommendations! 😊

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

No problem! Enjoy Cabo 🤙🏼

[@sarakarwal3785]

Thanks for explaining everything and breaking down the prices. It helped a lot to plan my trip.and i also collect travel magnet. Like to see your collection videos.

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

A fellow magnet collector! nice! I’m glad I can help out 😊

[@destinyphillips3771]

300th subscriber nice video going to cabo loved the content.

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

Ah thank you! 300 wooh 🙌

[@haohu6583]

Great video! Would you recommend booking excursions ahead of time or when I get to Cabo? Thanks

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

If you can book ahead, then do that. If you can’t book ahead (for whatever reason), it’s not really an issue, there will be plenty of activities / vendors to still book with. The only thing you truly don’t need to reserve ahead of time is a water taxi to El Arco.

[@Enchanteralle]

This is super helpful. I'm considering to visit someday and I'm usually the planner when I travel with others. I don't like to scramble and panic when I get there when I can have some tips and preparation. So would it be best that I have pesos on me instead of using my credit card to have them convert it to pesos? My credit card doesn't have foreign transaction fee. I find that having some cash on me is helpful when I travel (just in case).

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

Hopefully, I am understanding your question correctly, but you do not need to have pesos on hand for them to charge you in pesos with your credit card. I also like having cash on hand just in case. I think having US cash (assuming that you are in the US) is more than fine and saves you the hassle of exchanging your money. Glad the video was helpful!

[@Enchanteralle]

@@KeanuTravelsTo Yes, I'm from the U.S. Didn't know that I can have them charge me in pesos on my credit card. That's helpful, thanks!

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

No problem!

[@THEEblackdynamite]

For the rental car did you have to pay for there mandatory country insurance?

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

Yes we had to pay a small, additional fee for Third Paty Liability, which is mandatory in Mexico. I was able to, however, not pay the collision damage waiver due to having a travel credit card.

[@farahsultana6314]

Ok,how did you find a $122/night at publo bonito?its almost 4k in september

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

I think we got lucky with the timing. We went the week before the busy Christmas holiday. And we stayed during the weekdays. Also, it was $244 per night for the two of us (so $122 per person) -- sorry if I made it confusing. I'm curious where you are finding the 4k price. I just searched on Booking.com for Sept 2 to 5 for 3 nights and it is around $450 per night.

[@diamondaguirre]

CAN U GO TO cOSTA rICA aND MAKE A similar video like these

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

If I had the money and time I would, but not in the cards for now 😭

[@francisadl8507]

Is this US Currency?

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

If you’re referring to the price breakdown at the end, then yes.

[@davekemo9683]

Cabo is not what it used to be I really miss the good old days before all the big resorts and tourists

[@KeanuTravelsTo]

Yeah there’s no doubt that it is a touristy destination nowadays. But if you don’t mind the tourists, I think it’s a fantastic, beautiful destination that can make a very enjoyable vacation.

Are you taking clips from other vloggers content?
