Best video I've seen on YouTube in a LONG time! BRAVO! I've been telling my patients , (just yesterday), to watch your videos specifically for this subject!! I love how you stitched this one together…around the world in 7 minutes and 29 seconds.
amazing video. I'm your fan
I love your local filming! I think Heather’s kicking scene was a setup. I can’t imagine her kicking stuff on the ground. 🤔
superb ! great job very informative ! thank you for sharing ur travel experience ❤
Great video. Just came back from a 50 day Portugal trip and we did the same things you mentioned. Happy travels!
What are your thoughts on using miles vs cash for airfare during pandemic? Well done video – face freezing???
Yup planning our fully refundable trip now we leave in a month. I've never planned this close to departure!
Thanks for this video. Wait, did I see you masking on a boat, outside on the sea? If a country is requiring this sort of thing, I won't be travelling there. That is just insane.
How was it travelling between countries and did most places accept the CDC certificate? I'm planning on a two month trip in april and march to europe and this seems like the biggest pain in the ass.
We enjoyed your video! Agreeed! We are leaving usa to italy in 2 weeks for 6 months + keeping it simple really helps too!
Hi! Your video is so informative! Thank you! I am planning a solo trip to Stockholm and Oslo in mid-May. I have done all refundable/changeable options, however, after a lot of research, I am sill confused about the testing requirements. I am fully vaccinated with booster, never tested positive, do I need to take a test to fly to Stockholm? I am going to Oslo via train from Stockholm, do I have to take another test before boarding on the train? The testing information every website is very confusing…thanks for your help in advance.
Having lived in Europe for 13yrs and traveled back frequently except for the last 2 years and planning on going this year, this was VERY well done, subscribed!
Thats why we are travelling next May in Paris, Florence and Prague… This year the covid will still remain in bits and pieces…
Hoping to visit France and Italy this summer! Really nervous about testing positive on my return trip 😩. I’m sure regulations will change by then. This was very helpful thanks 🥰
I would like to go to Portugal this summer, but I'm hesitant because of covid.
Nice video! Please do you know I can enter with a recovery certificate from a Brazil doctor? tks
Awesome video! I'm planning a Europe trip this summer/fall. How difficult is it to go between different countries? I'm starting in France, but qas planning on going to Switzerland for a couple days, then back into France….is something like this even possible/worth it?
Finally achieved my goal of Residency in New Zealand so my sights are on visiting my parents in the UK – a little nervous because of Covid and with the situation getting very tense in Europe with war breaking out – trying to decide what to do, routes to take and when, this Year or next to travel….. #thinkingAlot – ty for your video, very informative 🙂
From India Sohail

Hi, Vacay trip to Europe this May will be ok or should avoid due to war between Ukraine & Russia. Please share your tips and i hope you both are still there in Europe now.
I’d love to go to Europe before summer 2022. I’ve been debating paying extra for a refundable ticket and taking a train instead of renting a car.
Well, if there had been something glamorous, uplifting and liberating in air travel ever… They certainly succeeded to do away with all of that in the past two plus decades. :-/
Otherwise, great video. Thanks! I am just already dreading my next upcoming flight to Europe with the whole American and international airport BS.
I discovered this channel while looking for info on traveling through Europe with COVID restrictions. I struggle to find a location in my community of South Florida to get a rapid result COVID test. I can’t imagine having to find such a location in a foreign country. Would you do a video about getting COVID tests in European cities for the purpose of travel; where to go, cost, and apps required for sharing the results with airlines, etc.
in addition, did you find that restaurants were requiring proof of vax info etc?
I will be cruising the British Isles this summer and would like to continue to Italy or Spain. It seems I will need a test upon disembarkation in Southhampton. But where do I get one? I’m an experienced traveler and this is the first time in 40 years that I am struggling to find relevant information. Thanks
Thanks for sharing guys…We plan to visit Europe over the summer and this vlog is really helpful.
These tips will help me a lot to a trip we are planing on this month (May 2022) in Europe. Thanks for all the good stuff on this video!
Leaving in 2 weeks for a month in Portugal and France. Thanks for the suggestion of bringing extra meds just in case we can't return as expected, hadn't thought of that yet… we are flexible travelers, but this feels like a new world we are heading out into.
Hi! Awesome video thanks for the info! Question 🙋♂️ where is the best place and easiest way to get covid tested before traveling to Europe? First time traveling to Spain next year Jan 2023.
We almost booked our trips to Finland-Dublin-Estonia for Sept 2022 before watching your video. Now we'll just wait and see ……..
Not sure…will give it and rvbn
