I am on RU-vid to show you guys that traveling is accessible! All too often I've heard, "I'd love to travel like you, but I just can't"... followed by a plethora of reasons that was always highlighted by a lack of money or fear of the unknown. So, I started this channel to share my tips with you and help you feel that traveling is for you too. I've been to over 30 countries on a shoestring budget and if I can do it, so can you. So hit that subscribe button and get ready to start your own adventure!
Hey, just to confirm I’m due to arrive in Tokyo on Oct 1st and want to go to asana on Oct 5th. I’m buying a 7 days pass. If I go to book a seat for the 5th on the 2nd will the 7 days start on the 2nd when I go to book or on the 5th the day of the booking?
You'll have them activate it for the 5th when that first trip starts! Have fun! Don't have them activate it on the 2nd when you go to book that ticket.
Don't know if anyone is still monitoring your post but I'll give it a try. I have a 97 avalon and the plastic linkage bushing on the passenger side disconnected from the arm. For some reason they closed off the entire wiper assembly with exception of the motor, under a metal frame. The access cut out on the passenger side is barely big enough to get one hand in there with no extra room to shine a light or use any kind of tools. Not to be mean but I wish yours had disconnected so I could see how you accessed the assembly to fix it, lol. Can't seem to find any other videos with the same issue of getting access. The video's I've seen the assembly is right under the plastic cowl so everything is wide open and accessible. Just thought you might know how to access your wiper assembly since it was closed off under a metal shroud like mine is.
Hi! When do you receive the actual pass? Do you pick it up when you arrive in Japan? Also, are you able to activate it at one of the airports in Tokyo?
I just hit like :-) Could you share with us your experiences at Colombia (Panama, Costa Rica) please? Specifically how best to get to and from airport to city center (haven't been there but Medellin video was really good) where best to exchange currency, buy SIM card, mode of transportation within Colombia please? Use Google map if you could, help me a lot. Thanks.
Hi Josh I just watched your video and it wae awesome. But a little correction though, the bus that you traveled in is really actually a maxi-taxi. It may look like a bus but its not a bus because you have to pay money to the driver for your destination. As for the buses in Trinidad and Tobago you have to buy tickets to board them. They are called PTSC buses, but you don't have to pay the driver. The driver has to swipe your ticket👍
Great vid. I hope to spend a month in Japan. If I get a 21 day pass can I activate them in 3 different 7 day runs. I hoped to spend several days in some cities didn’t want to feel like I need go because of the cost.
Unfortunately once you activate it you can't shut it off, which makes planning pretty challenging. There are some awesome updates that happened in 2020 as far as how you purchase the pass and how you can get reserve tickets but the system of once activated - that's it - has stayed as far as I know. So, my suggestion is to definitely fly into a city that you want to stay at for 7 days and then activate the pass once you start making your first big travel. OR - you might not want the JR Pass if it becomes a waste, you can use google maps public transit option to see approximate pricing for individual rides that you think you'll want to take!
Congratulations for you hiking 🥾🥾 I made it too , this last Saturday at night to enjoy the sunrise On Sunday and was insane !!!! I have a video too in my RU-vid Channel 🤭 ( Humble Channel) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3Eh-MgU3EOw.html ( Looking forward to repeat it again)🍃 Extremely Hard but not impossible 💪🏼
You don’t have to use the pass everyday. But it only lasts for as long as you purchase it from the moment you activate it / use it. So if you choose 14 days then it ends 14 days after first use / activation.
It is far worse this year with the foreign tourist gone. Interesting (2021) Most of the rubbish is coming through the drains and rivers into which most people throw their rubbish/trash. Not all areas are equal or times of the year. Obviously when the heaviest rains descend - that is the worst time because it brings the trash in the flow. But having travelled throughout Bali many times and Lombok a couple of times, I am not sure what makes a worst beach the worst. In Lombok any beach we went into was fully of rubbish, whether you could see it so well or not, and some of the worst places were where villagers lived on the beach, We had gone there 2 years ago at this time, as a big family. Lombok is not necessarily cleaner than Bali although it is more beautiful. I live in a Javanese/Madurese Kampung in Surabaya and have for over 30 years now. And the locals will throw their rubbish into the water ways. Out of sight, out of mind. They might be able to be taught to wear an unhealthy mask but to change a mindless habit is very difficult.
Hi Josh, I hope you see this comment. I just found your channel and still looking thru them. I just watched Medellin, and Cartagena how to get to and from airport to city (Google maps are super helpful). May I request you to remember back and educate us budget travelers, how to get to and from airport, bus terminals, where best place to exchange currency, buy SIM Card, for countries that you visited please (especially on Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Belize)? I hope I can learn more from your travel experiences. Thanks bud.
One question. I am from Albania but i do not see my country there in the website. So can i still purchues the JR pass from another country, for example Itlay or Greece or it is impossible? Thanks in advance
Precheck just proves how useless the tsa is. If terrorists wanted to do anything they would just have to do precheck. There’s no reason the rest of us have to suffer and let tons of people get sexually assaulted.
🤔 ... I had to have a background check and make an appointment to meet with a border control agent to get my precheck and global entry. Not sure why a terrorist would go through all that to go through the same screening and metal detectors at the airport... over the years it seems more often than not there are more people in the pre-check line, making it actually longer than the normal queue.
@@JoshPavano what do you mean a terrorist wouldn’t go through the trouble of all that stuff? Terrorists wouldn’t be stopped by inconveniences. Terrorism is such an extreme act that that sort of stuff would mean nothing. By that logic, terrorism wouldn’t even exist because its inconvenient to buy weapons, it’s inconvenient to risk your life/give it up, it’s inconvenient to plan a bunch of stuff, and it’s inconvenient to hide everything. And it’s not like all terrorists would be stopped by a background check. If terrorism was as much of a threat as the USA thinks it is, things like 9/11 would have already happened again multiple times, but they haven’t. They haven’t happened because tsa, because tsa has notoriously failed tests where the government would have people sneak in weapons to see how effective TSA is, and there was a failure rate of 95.71%. This was in 2015. Then the department of homeland security in 2017 released a statement saying they did more tests, but there was no data, specifics, context, or hardly any information given, and they told CBS there was a failure rate over 70%, but they told ABC it had a failure rate around 80%. The TSA is just a completely incompetent performance to make people think there is more terrorism than there really is, so it’s ok for the US to have useless, immoral wars that trillions of dollars have been spent on where civilian casualties occur all of the time.
