Chris, you are a prize. The best tourist I have seen in my 79 years of world travel. Very few people know how to go with the flow and that is what travel is all about. I moved to Ecuador 12 years ago from the U.S. and I live right next door to Colombia. You made a good choice. Every country in the World has areas of problems. Ecuador and Colombia have some of the nicest people in the whole World. Even in Rome you have to be aware of motorcyclists grabbing things off of you as they speed by, especially around the Vatican. And You never hear how unsafe the U.S. is, but it is just that. I can walk on the streets day or night in Ecuador. I am so glad you decided to go to Colombia. Come see Ecuador, especially the North Sierra. For a better World, it is important for people to see it for themselves, but also important to learn how to be safe while traveling. Learn how to turn fear into excitement.
It's fantastic that you're choosing to explore a place that steps outside your comfort zone! It reminds me of how I met this wonderful Colombian family in Antwerp. They've become some of my closest friends, and honestly, before I met them, I wouldn't have been able to find Colombia on a map!
Make your videos longer, the content is just awesome! You have only one life, the way you're living it showing something some of us may never experience is truly wholesome.
As someone from Colombia I wanna say thank you for coming ! yes it can be unsafe but its still a beautiful country with a lot to give , love your videos
I am subbed but we all gotta save and watch when we can when we make content. He needs to do a video with Simon Wilson asap! What a combo of legends it would be
Chris, I have been following all of your videos, and as I get to know you a bit through your content, I now understand why I keep coming back for more: IMO your "personal brand" as a youtuber and a traveler is always so kind, gracious, and overall positive to your hosts and host country. And now, seeing you put your Spanish skills to the test in Colombia, I have even more respect. Good people, good content, always a pleasure! Keep it up and you will go far, and I'll be able to say I've been here since the beginning.
Another great video, Chris. But…..I must say, the star was Sebastian….what a nice kid, and tour guide. A wonderful advertisement for Colombia…..well done.
Hi Chris: don’t be surprised that you are being used as an example. Especially in this era kids need to know they can do anything they put their mind to. Our world needs to step out of their comfort zone. Thanks for your willingness to step out and teach but also to show us things that we might not see on our own. In a s bar we get to go with you. You have provided that opportunity. Also while I have done and seen the thing you have accomplished and seen, I have come to realize through your vlogs that I have been fortunate and have done things and have seen things that have been fulfilling. I have been blessed. Continue the good work.
I stumbled across you in my recommended. I love the channel! As a flight attendant for a major US airline, I love the passion for travel you have. Cheers!
What an amazing video again! Keep going like this, you will become a big youtuber, I'm sure ❤. I also love travelling myself and because of your video's my list of countries I want to visit just keeps growing 😂.
I absolutely love how easily you seem to make friends everywhere you go. I’m enjoying the variety of places you go to… it’s not just the same places over and over again. Time I said before, if you come through San Antonio, I’d love to show you around!
Love your videos Chris, you come across as such a positive person and this will take you far. Keep up the great work and your channel will continue to grow without doubt 👍🙂
Another terrific episode Chris, you are so entertaining and visiting places I have only ever dreamed of. Well done on achieving so much traction in a short while, I'm certain you will reach your goal ahead of schedule. Keep having fun and sharing your travels with us.
Love it when your videos pop up on my feed. I think of you like a grandson and love watching you experience the world with fresh eyes. Keep safe and enjoy each new adventure!
hello! i am a huge fan of your account i have been watching since day 1,i’ve always been extremely interested in travel and you inspire me everyday to be like you when i’m older your videos are amazing and deserve more hype keep up the amazing work!!
Wow just wow! I’m from Bogotá and I have lived there almost my entire life so seeing this video was amazing. Thank you very much for visiting and I hope you come back to explore other beautiful places in Colombia. Keep up with the good job; I’m sure the channel will get bigger and bigger🇨🇴🇨🇴🙌🏻
Omg this makes me so happy, I have been following you since you had 1k followers and as a Colombian of course I’m excited you get to see my beautiful country but kind of sad that it makes tourist nervous to come to our country, there’s so much to do and to see and beautiful and kind people❤
I am loving your channel. I am so happy you are doing a video every week. I don’t watch a lot of tv but I look forward to your videos. Loved seeing Bogota.
Well done! Be safe out there man .. I know your smart it shows just be careful is all. I definitely sit on my lazy boy and watch you talk into that camera and enjoy the content like many of your subscribers.
Leuke content man, lekker bezig! Je hebt er een nieuwe abbo bij. Mexico is absoluut een goede nieuwe locatie, ik ben er zelf ook geweest en alleen maar goede vibes! En heerlijk eten natuurlijk.
That’s an amazing video Food looks delicious and we are proud of young people like you who wants to show the rest of us the world and the great things on it. Let’s go for a million subscribers 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like the way you really try to interact with the local culture and the way you always give a try with the local food even if sounds strange at times Well done lad 👌
Love your reflection.. it's special how you connect with us viewers. I found you when had very few subscribers and I knew you were going to make it. So humble and appreciative. 🥰🥰 I have travelled to some very interesting places thanks to RU-vidrs. You are the latest, because I will be making a trip to Curacao and onto Bogota soon. Thanks for making such a huge impact on my travel life Hermano 💙🌎💙🌎💙
Your videos are so inspiring and simply amazing. Like he already makes top tier videos and he just started a few months ago. We have to make this guy famous.
YAY, it's Sunday Funday with another great video. Thank You Chris for being a star entertainer, you've definitely earned a place in my top 5 RU-vidrs. Bloody love it
If I ever get to Columbia there is only one place I will have to go to no matter how long it will take. The rainbow River. Basically different types of alge turns the river red, green, pink, yellow and Orange
I'm so happy! Thank you for visiting my country, Colombia 🇨🇴❤️ You have to visit Medellín too, it is my home city and is pretty beautiful and famous as well.
I am so glad I found this channel. I have always wanted to travel and I absolutely love your content. If you ever want to come to an area of the USA that doesn't really get much attention, let me know and I can hook you up with some good spots and experiences in Mississippi! We aren't as bad as the media makes us out to be and its a fairly different experience here from the big cities in the US.
well, you said you wanted comments, so........I am really enjoying your channel! I am learning something with each new episode, and feel a little bit like I am traveling with you!! I am 70 years old, and will not be likely to ever see these places in person by now, so thank you for taking the big chances and also for bringing us along!!
Hey Chris, we love your videos so much, they are amazing and inspiring. We appreciate your enthusiasm that shines through your videos, make sure to let us know if you ever happen to come to Budapest, Hungary, we would be pleased to be your host. Tot snel! ❤
It is true... a lot of people try to make places, systems, people, etc. sound excessively worse than they actually are... while some parts of a place you may want to avoid, in many cases, that isn't true for most of the area.
chris come to portugal its great now in the spring, if you ever come to here, saw something, i will give you a tour from the best city in the world LISBOA
If you have a chance, go to Puerto Escondido, Mexico. The vibes there are like no other! I'm going to Dia de los Muertos in late October in Oaxaca City, then on to P.E. You won't regret it! I'm watching from South Florida and enjoying your content! Happy travels, Chris.
Great content Chris! I live in newcastle, gutted I didn't get a chance to meet you. You had been an gone before if realised! Anyhow, yourself and other RU-vidrs have encouraged me an my daughter to travel. Amongst the odd country drop, we've planned our 3 #4country4daychallenge in May. For that, I thank you!
I visited colomibia last year, it was my first travel outside of europe. So I also had a lot of respect from the country, too, and faced some fears like you. It turned out, that the county is outside of Bogotá really beautiful and has also a lot of nice people, who are happy to meet someone from another country. I would definitly do it again, but i would avoid Bogota and stay more in the nature.
Every time you upload a new video I have to make a hard decision; Am I going to watch it now or will I keep it to have something to enjoy later?? LOL. I love them all. I was surprised that you weren't familiar with at least the names of Papaya and Pitahaya. I know papaya taste from juice and have eaten Pitahaya (dragon fruit) a few times, but only the pink ones!
Haha no way you went to Colombia. Just a few months ago i remember you saying there was no money for a ticket to Colombia. Keep growing. Gaat je goed💪🏻💪🏻
My rule is that you can’t judge a place without seeing it first but it is fine to be wary but as long as it doesn’t stop you from checking it out yourself first. In fact trading wouldn’t have happened at all if someone went somewhere first.
The colombians I have met abroad are amazing people My first trip to bogota and south america will be in 5 months Good that you dont let the world scare you. Stolen phones is a very common crime everywhere with guys on a bike or other pety theft. 2 guys tried to do it to me in casablanca, morocco, But i did hold my phone to thight. Pocket thiefs also are very common, guess Barcelona, spain is still the worlds centre for that. So yes petty crime can happen everywhere
Hello! I want to start by congratulating you on your amazing vlogs; they are truly fantastic and showcase the beauty and diversity of Colombia in a spectacular way. I love how you capture the essence of cities like Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena, showcasing their cultural, historical, and natural richness.Watching your videos has inspired me to invite you to Puerto Rico, a destination full of charm and wonders waiting to be discovered. As a local, I would be delighted to be your guide and show you the most special corners of our island. I hope you can consider this invitation, and we can collaborate on future projects together. Greetings from Puerto Rico!
I was in Bogota this past December with my husband. We never felt unsafe. Actually we felt like the Columbian people were the nicest people we ever met during our travels and we have been a lot of places all over the world.
@christakesoff yeah Columbia is not used to spicy foods. Its very hard to find things that are spicy like in mexico. Also try and find lemonade. There is no lemons only limes. Spicy peppers arent popular
