Yyyeaahhh but how safe are these places??
Enjoyed this !!
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. What a lost translation? Do these destinations speak English or do you book your guides ahead of time? How about vetting out good places to stay?
Ethical elephants!🐘 😄
I’m from Guatemala – I appreciate you are mentioning in your post! Amazing! Thanks for the suggestions as well!
I like Pertrovac, Montenegro.
Do eSIMs work for iPhone or is the “locked” thing i keep reading about really an issue?
Thanks for the video — very thoughtful and well explained. I liked hearing a different take on this. I actually analyzed a similar topic on my own channel and our conclusions were very close, even if some details differed.
Thanks Very much
Shocked you never mentioned or visited Vietnam
Was this 6 months continuous? How did you pack?
I think srilanka is a much better option also for budget travel with fantastic location.
Before the war Ukraine was worth visiting: food similar to Poland, mountains and cities and seas.
Another European country that is very affordable is Romania. Is very beautiful and the Dracula castle is great and city of Brasov also.
Come on….i loved Morocco, but the food was nothing to write home about. I stuck to tagines in the end because they were reliably decent.
Is this $50 per person budget including the airfare already? I am curious. 🧐
Was in Uzbekistan last week. Around a week of 3/4 star hotels, 2 private guided tours, many cafes, amazing meals, taxi & subway rides…all total around 720 USD.
…and you get to see iconic historical sites in Samarkand/Bukhara with comparatively very few tourists…
Can you do similar video but family friendly too with kids
Seems like you missed malaysia ❤
Calling Bosnia "Central Europe" makes me doubt he knows what he's talking about
you exaggerated about Poland…
In Poland make sure not to drown in the pools of blood of my grandparents
Montenegro is all but affordable what are you talking about 😅
Beautiful but expensive
POLSKA!!! 💪🥟🤍❤💯
Aww man no Serbia?
Are the Philippines safe?
Having been to many of these places I will say you get what you pay for. Yes these places are cheap but they are cheap for a reason. I don’t know about Poland though, I’m intrigued by that one.
What about safety of these places? Just.curious.
I’m curious if Poland would be as good to travel to for people of colour? I’m hesitant
I liked Macedonia and Kosovo the most in Balkans. Bosnia and Montenegro weren't my favorite.
You are speaking about budget travelling and than you have a commercial for e-sim, which is in 95% cases more expensive than to buy sim card at the destination.
This is all so accurate and legit. I have travelled to most of these places and had similar experiences. Nice work 🙂 👍👍
Wouldn't agree on Montenegro. Just take and compare to Greece… lower quality service and more expensive. Beautiful? Hell yeah!
What a complete BS video. The author listed locations for which you need between 700 and 1200 USD per flight ticket. Hard downvote.
U brought your big 😂 don’t
I miss SE Asia so much! I visited Thailand solo this past November and I already want to go back. I went to Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Getting there is expensive, but once you’re there it’s very affordable. I’ve also heard great things about visiting the Philippines.
Careful about eastern europe if you're not white. Heard more than a couple of stories about straight up hostility from the Polish and Georgians specifically in this list. Not in this list Bulgarians straight up attacked people I know.
I remember not so long ago when $50 was the luxury budget for the Lonely Planet, not its budget!!! $40 a day is still possible but its hard now in most places!!
Anyone else watch the rest of this video in shock after that shot of a tree in Cambodia where they beat children? 😰
