Hey guys! My name is Jake Miller and I enjoyed travel both in the United States and internationally. I've back packed three continents and wish I have videos from all of those but will document all my travels moving forward.
This channel will focus on travel videos, tips, hacks and advice.
Thanks for watching my videos, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any travel questions you may have. I put a lot of time into this so if you could subscribe and help me get to my goal of 1,000 that'd be great so I might be able to try and make some money off this thing. I am @FI_Travelguy on Instagram and very much appreciate a follow there!
If the Brits & French did not destroy the Old Summer Palace (Yuan Mingyuan) in 1860, it would be as impressive as the Forbidden city today. It took 3 generations of Emperors to build, 3 times the size of Versailles palace, but took 3 days only to destroy by European colonial powers. Lot of the precious gems, relics, and artifacts were looted from the Old Summer Palace and are now on display on museums in Europe & US. Rich Chinese businessmen had to spend billions to buy it back from the thieves's descendants. You should read Victor Hugos' response to the destruction of the Old Summer Palace. He was one of the witness of the British-French Expeditionary Force that lay siege to the palace. I find it funny that US & EU always say China is a threat to the world, but so far history have shown that they are projecting onto China what they themselves have done to others in the past. Chinese Ming Dynasty have already set sailed to Africa and all over SE Asia in early 15th century (Zheng He's Treasure Fleet), but they've never colonized any of those countries. They've traded with all these countries they've visited. They traded silk, tea, porcelain, lacquer ware, and gold for rhinoceros, giraffes, zebras, muir, spice, gems, and other exotic goods. This is several decades before the first European Explorer (Vasco Da Gama of Portugal) visited modern-day Kenya. The Chinese were already interacting & trading with Africa in 14th & 15th century, but China never colonized them...
I recommend anyone staying in Inverness visits the Benromach distillery. Superb quality whisky, (better than most on this tour other than Glenlivet). The Aberlour A’bundadh and the Craigallachie 13 whiskies are both excellent as well to be fair. You can get to Benromach on the train from Inverness in about 30mins, (allowing you to enjoy a tasting at the distillery itself). They’ve also got an attractive distillery and a great history, (including royal connections that you will find out about in their visitor centre, including photo’s).
nice overview of the twin cities. The most popular lake to walk around is Bde Maka Ska for interesting people watching. The animals were Canada Geese and it looked like a muskrat swimming in the water (no flat tail like a beaver). If you go back, get a "Juicy Lucy" at matt's bar and stop by legendary first avenue for a photo op.
When you arrive in Brussels by Eurostar train, do you need to buy a separate ticket to go to the city center? Is it necessary to get a metro boarding pass like the Paris visite card for transportation in Brussels? If it is necessary to buy one, which is the most economical card to travel for 1 day?
Depends where you stay. Downtown Naxos is extremely walkable but obviously if you want to explore more of the island you’d need to rent something. You are able to rent either cars, atvs, or scooters pretty easily
Underrated? 60's 70's all the white girls got knocked up by Blacks in the Pocket so they whent to Manhatten NY to hook on the streets,ask how they are doing what they think about Twin City's.
You are able to just hop on the train but once on the train they’ll come around and check tickets. Typically through a barcode or qr code that they can scan
Nice video! Out of Bourdain's 13 places to eat before you die I've only been to Hot Doug's in Chicago, Salumi in Seattle, and Sin Huat in Singapore. Joe's is next on my list and I hope to eat there soon!
I've visited these cemeratrys it's funny but it's not scary family's are together forever like a eternal family gathering they aren't separated that's awesome and they are butchered the body is undisturbed as they were born as you were born that's natural not scary
Very helpful thanks! Our seats have just been ticketed through group tour. I paid to upgrade to economy plus but now will use points to be hopefully upgraded to premium economy.
I have to admit that I didn't get much past the opening 5 minutes because seeing that you highlighted beer, sports, burritos and pizza does not convince me that Milwaukee is "underrated". Cities with a lot to offer have beautiful vistas, incredible architecture, great shopping with both designer brands and unique handmade gems, cultural institutions like museums, art galleries and theaters, and, SAFE diverse ethnic communities which reflect the heritage of those communities. Kayaking on the brown (polluted?) Milwaukee river and commenting about it being an industrial area screams to the viewer that Milwaukee is NOT a world class city. Milwaukee is only underrated if your values focus on drinking, sports and mainstream food instead of what the rest of the world considers interesting cultural aspects.
I've lived in towns and areas near New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco and Seattle, as well as 4 foreign countries. Milwaukee's my favorite.
Just 5 miles north of the downtown, one can take the bike trail, that starts across the street from the Art museum, to visit German style beer gardens at Hubbard Park and Estabrook Park. Don't miss EITHER on a visit to Milwaukee.
Beside a lots of good things ❤👍. Here’s a few more - that make Milwaukee famous . Serial killer ( Jeffery D . ) ; Wrong way drunk drivers ; Road warriors . 😮
What a great find of all the local eatery's and coffee shops of Boise and Meridian, Idaho. We went through there several years ago as a family vacation on the way to Yellowstone. Nice but quaint towns there. Went to the Giant Potato for our picture op 🖼😉Great video and thanks for taking us along. 👍
Do you mind sharing how you rented a car for the early morning drive? I'd like to do the same thing but the rental car places I see don't open until 9am.
Every single road is a cratered, undriveable hell, yet they have millions to throwaway on a Street Car System nobody uses. They have a near south side with houses that have falling apart since the 1970s. Never send a liberal to do an adult's job.
I live in Milwaukee, and my wedding was at a museum overlooking the lake. People thought we were married in Italy or Greece, with the emerald blue lake in the background. I love Milwaukee!
We went to paros in 2017, and weve loved this island so much. The small town noussa on the opposite of parikia is just beatiful to have dinner on the harbour
Alright - What about health care, if you need an operation, or see a specialist? What about buying a home in an uncrowded area, not living in a crowded apartment building? What about bike trails in the city and parks, and tennis courts? What about emergency services like fire engines, or ambulances? What about beaches with sand? What about hardware stores, and places to buy tools to repair a house? What about air conditioning, and clothes driers, and washing machines, and humidifiers, for a home and good drinking water, and plumbing? Does Croatia have all that? The real story is in the details.
Healthcare wise they provide all inclusive healthcare to citizens. I'm not sure I want a home in an uncrowded area. I like walkability. I don't play tennis.They do have a fire department in Croatia. There are beaches with sand but mostly are rock. They do also have hardware stores. But I've rehabbed enough homes so hopefully in retirement I could hire that out. They do also actually have AC, and clothes washer and dryers. All European countries have old and weird plumbing. Croatia isn't like a third world country.. it's actually pretty nice 👍
Amazing video! Such a beautiful national park. I have a question about drone flying - Do we need a permit to fly drone in the park? if so, how to obtain that?
