Welcome to A Sense of Travel! I'm Michael Matheny, and I'm on a mission to document all 5 senses (the sights, sounds, tastes, feels, and smells) of as many cities, countries, and natural wonders around the world as I can so that I can immerse you into the experience virtually.
Here, you'll find my full length travel vlogs, videos showcasing the best foods in the regions I've explored, videos documenting the scents that would make up a location-based candle, color palette reels, and more.
I'm excited to share this passion with you, and can't wait to bring you along with me as I travel the world.
Man I love your approach. I have never seen anyone else approach travel videos this way. It's definitely inspired me to stretch what I know about storytelling.
The Windy City nickname has nothing to do with the weather/atmosphere, the L is above ground, and busier is the subways underground downtown (it runs at grade level too), is also extensive rail system outside of the L, Deep dish is more a tourist thing, natives know it’s tavern style, eaten far more often with way more local pizza places, very thin cut in squares. The farther away from the lake, the more unique and diverse the neighborhoods get. Chicago hot dogs are on poppy seed (steamed). Silly to say “oddly diverse food”, it has people from all over the world and deep history of immigrants (including now), is hard to find other US city with as good of food scene. Also odd to say it didn’t/doesn’t have immigration of coastal cities, people moved there from all over the globe and still do. You won’t experience that in downtown or Lincoln. park, but so much to explore beyond.
I grew up in Oslo 🇧🇻 but live in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 ... I'm proud to be Norwegian and love Norway & Oslo, but nothing beats Copenhagen, and whenever I return from Norway, it feels like coming home... ❤ 🇩🇰 ❤ 🇩🇰 ❤
lol strong subway system? modern patchwork? LMAO,.....this city used to be so amazing - I was so proud of this city but things have gone downhill. every time I have been to scar bluffs - next week there is always a body being found there. Crime, expenses, traffic etc have gone up big time. Toronto is a city which is full of woke people now - you could literally fall down on the street in downtown and no one would give a crap. 401 is the most busiest hwy in the world. Takes are crazy, rent is crazy...good city to visit but then pls leave....not a city where you want to live in anymore.
enjoyed viewing your "10 Fun Facts About Santiago, Chile" thanks for sharing so much information AND history in your video appreciate the text commentary while viewing the video LIKE 4
Jamaican food is a long-time Toronto staple. Especially Jamaican beef patties, the unspoken official snack of the city, particularly on the subway system.
Yes Toronto is diverse and that always seems to be a talking point, however, I find that those diverse communities like to stay within their own culture which in my opinion is a negative. Diversity, on its own when you dig deeper is not so great. Interaction between those diverse cultures would be fantastic but people like to be with those whom they have a cominality.
Actually quite a lot of Copenhagen is built in what is called the Dutch Renaissance style. Over 90% of Amsterdam's old town is post medieval, the early modern period. Amsterdam as the booming city of the Dutch Republic, put the 'modern' into early modern period, it was the rise of the citizen, the individual, pioneering modern capitalism, so the people build the houses and warehouses like they wanted, as individualistic citizens but without showing off wealth because that was 'not done'. Otoh, this was also at the beginning of the enlightenment and rationalism, and a post nobility administration. Amsterdam is a planned city, planned for trade, with limited facade widtth for maximum canal access, and lots of green, backyards were mandatory. The 'Royal Palace' was build as City Hall, a people's palace as showpiece of the Dutch Republic. It was made a royal palace by Louis Napoleon, as a puppet king of his mighty brother, a role which he refused to play because he like the Dutch too much and got sacked.
Mexico is part of North America just look at NAFTA. Depending on where you learned geography. North America is usually separated from South America by Panama/Colombia border and Central America is the southern Mexican border to Colombia
@@jasonstevens2060 they added Mexico to NAFTA in order to get cheap labor. It was never considered part of North America when I was growing up .. that's why they aren't in NATO.
This really depends on how you're taught about the continents. In most of the English-speaking world, for example, North and South America are two continents, and Mexico is definitively a part of North America. In the Spanish speaking world, "America" is one continent, and Mexico would indeed fit into the region of Central America.
I'm Swedish but have lived and worked in Copenhagen for some years when I was in my early to mid 20's. While Copenhagen was pretty decent, I always thought it was overrated from a tourism point of view. I remember just minding my own while living there and seriously wondering why the city is so popular among tourists. Where I have lived in Copenhagen? Initially close to Amagerbro so literally walking distance from Christianshavn and the city center, I then lived in Tårnby and could see the airport from home, and before moving back to my hometown in Sweden, I also lived in Brøndby for a while as it was closer to my job. The smell I remember from Copenhagen? Cigarette smoke, beer and old piss!
I do not think I have seen a better review of Toronto. Reminded me that I have to get out more, as I live in Toronto. Although I have seen and experienced everything you have shown, it perked my interest to go back to some spots again and soon. Thanks!
First of all, you certainly weren’t at a restaurant called „Bitburger“, because „Bitburger“ is just a common beer brand. It may have read „Bitburger“ on the plaque at the restaurant, but that only indicates sponsoring by and availability of Bitburger beers. My guess would be „Schwarzer Stern“ instead, judging by the parasols and the very particular half-timbered house in your back. Secondly, Frankfurter sausages aren’t SHEEP sausages… There are two kinds of Frankfurter sausages, one is a pork-based version, the other is a beef sausage. The sausages SKIN could traditionally be the only thing that originated within the body of a sheep - to be precise, it can be the former (of course properly cleaned and processed) intestines of sheep… by the reddish color of the sausage meat, it looks like you got yourself a sausage of the Frankfurter Rindswurst (beef sausage) variety. Oh, and Krombacher (as on the glass) isn’t a local beer - the local beer would be a „Binding“. If you really had a „local“ wheat beer, unless you had one from a very small homebrewery only serving a single restaurant, you’ve probably had a Schöfferhofer which originally came from Mainz, some 30 miles to the west of Frankfurt.
Sorry. As a Dutch you can’t compare Copenhagen whit Amsterdam. We eat raw haring on our oma bike, Danish people just biking as a fomula 1 car , whit a helmet on. No one wearing a helmet here You must been to frequently to our coffee shop
Haha, I mean sometimes a tourist's perspective can help us love where we live a little more! I'm from a smaller city in SC, and it's awesome hearing about those things that visitors love that we take for granted from a day-to-day view
American Football isn't played in Canada. Those playing surfaces you saw were for Canadian Football. Canadian Football entered the USA in 1874 when Montreal's McGill University introduced it to Harvard University. The sport as played in the US morphed into its own distinct code but this lineage is why it looks very similar to Canadian Football.
Sharon from Philadelphia. I will watch your video at a better time. I love Toronto, it is my favorite city, privileged to have been there twice. I always say to people who are younger than I am, that if you are going to do any traveling, do it while you are younger, because you never know what thingd will be like when you get older. While I subscribed, I honestly don't know if I will be able to watch this, it brings back too many memories that are hard to deal with.
All of the footage is my own, thank you! Nothing copied. Any instance of stock footage to fill in any gaps (while rare) is specifically labeled in on the video itself.
