iLOVEEEEE THAT YOUR WIFE IS HERE ALSO!! SHES SOOOO GOOD
Couple of things
Museums are free in the UK, but often charge in many other places in Europe, however young people ( under 25ish get in free or have discounts) and most have a free day on the first Sunday of the month. Also be aware than many European museums shut on Mondays ( because they're open on Sundays)
And check opening hours for shops on Sundays: in some countries ( eg Switzerland and Italy) there's no difference, in others (France and Germany) most stores are shut, other countries like the UK have limited open hours on Sundays
If you are in a country with limited Sunday trading, the local main train station will usually have some food outlets and other shops ( including a pharmacy), theyll also usually have cash machines. Theyre also useful if you need first aid or a police officer ( itll be the wrong type of police officer, but theyll be able to get the appropriate help)
Just got back from my 1st trip overseas (Amsterdam!) a couple months ago. Tap & pay was the typical way to pay. Be sure to wear comfy shoes; you'll be walking everywhere. Public transport freaked me out too, only bcuz I wasn't used to it. The next time i go somewhere, i'll be more comfortable. Trains & trams, unlike the ones where i'm from (Kansas City) are on the dot on time, so be where you need to be on time! Have a great vaca… don't plan everything!
If people get disappointed by the real Europe, they should stick to the Disneyfied version at Epcot.
Speak slow
Like your lady speak
Ruskis gazprom tshirt??? 🤮throw it way and don’t be a clown
I have a problem with not packing enough. I'm a plus size guy and so is my wife. I have not found a place in Europe who has size 14W shoes. My wife is a 3X. I'm a 2X. No way to find clothing for my wife. I was able to find 2X Ts, but they are built small. The short sleeves are 2 inches shorter than north American Ts and so is the length.
One tip about the metro or subway in the big cities: despite most having air conditioning, it still gets insanely hot down there in the summer. No idea why, but come prepared…
The Republic of Ireland is NOT in the UK.
He said "here in the UK" while he was speaking from Kinsale. 😡
If you are a Game of Thrones fan there are coach tours in Belfast that take you out for the day to see filming locations. The driver will have an iPad to match the location to the show. They also bring you to the Giants Causeway and the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. The kids are fearless and brave on the rope bridge while adults are more nervous!! Is a good day out
you dont sit in public toilets even if they are kept clean in Europe (Poland) 😬
always make sure to find good gyms in each city you visit in europe…recently had my wedding in santorini stayed in fira cuz that was where the best gym was …….yeee dont lose the gainz bruh
Nr 1 Don't that all Americans do:
1. There are no unified Europe Traditions. Each country has their own
2. Now it gets complicated.. even if a country that is divided by federal state, Region etc. And that is Split up locally too
Are you still going to the Middle East and Africa this year
It is hilarious that the still does not use PINs in their credit cards 😆
In Scansinavia credit card IS king … Except from in Denmark in the busses! If you want to by a ticket in I.e. Copenhagen, it gonna have to be in cash … And mind you it's in DKK, NOT euros!! The driver is not obligated to take your Euros! You CAN just hop on, but if there is ticket insåectors on the bus it will cost you a 1000 DKK in fine per head! So just a heads up!
As a Dutchie who did travel a bit in Europe I do know that sometimes to some smaller destinations you can only fly with budget airlines and then even when you buy extra luggage it is still quicker and cheaper then flying with an airline like Lufthansa or KLM. Also you learn to pack light. Even when I did fly with family we buy like one extra handluggage sometimes besides the backpacks we can carry. Even when going oversees to other continents we sometimes don't buy extra checked in luggage or if we do it's only 1 piece.
Rule number one: wherever you go, never be the idiot with cargo shorts and fanny pack!
I hope to travel to London and Paris next year. I have always wondered about prescription medication in traveling. Original bottles for all ? Thanks.
I am soooo nervous to speak a foreign language to people 😂 I've been learning Chinese for almost 500 days now
nothing more abnoxious than american tourists on public transportation
7:54 I'm sorry but you couldn't be more wrong about paying with a 50 bill in the UK…they do NOT accept £50 bill/note in many places in the UK and when you dare to try paying with one, they will call a manager to check if it is legit and still refuse to accept it. 99 percent of people in the UK don't even try using a £50….I've been here for 12 years and I've never seen one…£50 in the UK is like paying with a 500€ note in the eurozone lol
In the eurozone, most people pay by card /contactless and we use cash mostly for emergencies but you won't have issues paying with 50€ as long as your bill isn't just 50 cents or something
Funny how my first trips to Europe 10-15 years ago credit card was never accepted. Nice to see that change.
Uber isn’t always available everywhere in Europe
I use Public transport as a cheaper alternative to the sightseeing bus in some city’s
Last eurotrip I made, Wells Fargo had recently changed policy to not require us to notify them of travel. Then when I went to Europe and started using my credit card, they almost froze my account because they couldn't reach me by phone to confirm my account activity. Found this all out when I got home. Another hurdle was trying to use Paypal but having to go through 2-factor auth with my US phone number which obviously also did not work out.
To be fair Portugal is the same as Spain only poorer!
Be aware of the difference between Europe and the European Union (EU). Not all European countries are in the EU, and only EU member states can use the Euro currency, but not all of them actually do.
So check out which currencies you need. And maybe additional needed visas.
The regional info, ie Bavarians, reminds me of a saying we have here…”American by birth, Southern by the grace of God!” 😂
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
Are you currently in Barcelona??? I would LOVE to meet you!
Loved the meatballs part hahaha
Growing up, I was told to never trust a middle aged
man with a pony tail.
I find it so weird that Americans have cards that don't have pin numbers
What's the music in the background for? Other than driving me nuts…
jampacked with tips on this video. Thanks for sharing Mark!
I would avoid Sweden, that country is too dangerous because we have imported millions of mu$l1ms form Afr1c@ and the @r@b countries, we have clan and gang wars in the entire country, bombings ahd shootings everyday, The country is totally destroyed
Also, don't scratch your name in the walls of the Collosseum.
9:00 Well the service is much better, than in the US! They don't rush you out!
“He’s gonna feed me spaghetti and meatballs” hahah that’s hilarious
