Gabbett Family Travels
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2022
Welcome to our channel! We are the Gabbett Family, an American family of 4 on a mission to 100 countries.
We quit our full-time jobs in 2023 and took our then 11-month-old and 2 1/2-year-old abroad. In our first year of full-time travel, we were fortunate enough to explore a total of 16 countries!!
We are in no way influencers, expert videographers, or professional editors. We are still learning and hope that this channel serves as a video scrapbook for our kid's memories for years to come. We hope that by sharing our travels publicly, we can encourage families to travel and to explore new places and cultures. Traveling with kids isn't easy and while our kids may not remember every trip, we hope that our travels will instill in them a love for the world and an understanding of the many people and cultures that exist in it.

Day Trip to Shala River: Albanian Road Trip
มุมมอง 334วันที่ผ่านมา
This was such a long day for us and the kids. While we understand that traveling off-season has its perks, clearly it has disadvantages as well. What should have been an hour boat ride to Shala River, took almost 3 hours, with multiple boat changes. Shala River is such a beautiful place, and the boat ride gave us some spectacular views, however, if we came again, we would definitely stay at lea...

Beautiful Albania 🇦🇱 like alot
@@RenatoGambino-i8w it’s a beautiful country ❤️
That mosque singing its really embarrassing for Albania 🇦🇱...it looks like being in Saudi Arabia rather than Albania 🇦🇱..really embarrassing for us Albanians
Ahh I’m curious why Albanians find it embarrassing. We found it beautiful and think it shows that different religions can live together
@gabbettfamilytravels we find embarrassing coz it's not our culture or religion. We have been occupied from ottoman empire for 500 years and forced our people to convert and left their culture in our land....our people and ancestors had nothing to do with islam. We are European people and our ancestors fought hard against Turkish occupation. It just doesn't suit our people this religion.
@@albania8982ooh I understand. Thanks for explaining
@gabbettfamilytravels Your welcome. Hope your enjoying Albania 🇦🇱 What months were you there???
@@albania8982we were there in October
Traffic in albania is ok, you are just unexperienced american drivers, that cant even drive manual. 9:10 thats not a sidewalk..
how do you compare bosna driving / roads vs albanian driving / roads? In terms of drivers but also general roads and driving culture?
They are definitely very similar in terms of road conditions and drivers. Roads are narrow and there seems to be very minimal regulation in terms of parking. In both countries you’ll see drivers speeding, illegally passing, parking on sidewalks and double parking. Many roads outside the larger cities are not maintained and mountain roads tend to be much worse, with little guardrail or otherwise. This is true of most of the Balkan countries, however Bosnia and Albania were the worst in terms of road conditions and parking. We found Albania slightly worse, with many unmaintained and narrow roads and bad drivers. We had many near misses on accidents here. Hope this helps!
@@gabbettfamilytravels thats interesting. I am from Bosnia but never visited Albania but saw videos of people mentioning people passing while driving, but I have never seen that here so I was curious how it was in Albania. Was it worse in Republika Srpska than in Mostar/Sarajevo?
@@maxximum9553we drove around Banja Luka and then to Jajce and I think I would say we found those drivers and roads worse than near the capital. We found driving in/near Mostar and to Sarajevo was a bit easier and road conditions were quite good.
Hi .I hope you enjoy Albania 🇦🇱. I know the roads are bad and so are the drivers 😂😂😂😂but that's the beauty of Albania 🇦🇱. It's different. And if you knock few people of their bikes don't worry to much just drive off coz don't have CCTV around the country 😂😂😂. Enjoy your stay in Albania.
@@albania8982hahahaha I laughed so hard at this. 😂😂😂 we love Albania, can’t wait to come back!
very nice good video
Glad you enjoyed it!
you should try Poland and the Baltics.
We are definitely planning a Baltics road trip soon! We actually just spent a few days at the Christmas markets in Krakow. We can’t wait to head back ❤
Well done,Nice vidéo Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Awesome video! How many days do u suggest to spend in Bratislava? 😊
Thank you! It’s a relatively small city and all the main sites are in walking distance of each other (minus the Slavin memorial). I would probably say 3 days would be sufficient to see everything at a leisurely pace!
Devinsky Castle is worth seeing
Devin Castle yes definitely... @@tomaskollar2571

Babies are so cute
aww thank you!
Great Video
Thank you!
Coming from a Salz ourselves we loved it!
Definitely one of our faves!
Now?? In Germany?
Hi! This was filmed last year on Christmas Day!
@@gabbettfamilytravels 👌👌🤣
Yeah it's a magical place. But unless it is at the peak of summer, it can get really cold there. Bring extra clothes. :D Loads of caves in the region worth seeing as well. Regarding bad experience, yeah the world does not revolve around the customer here. It is quite democratic. First come first serve basis, no one has any preferential treatment. That is why OFF SEASON is best.
Are you permanent resident f Slovakia or tourist
@@harryarora9277 just tourists!
@@gabbettfamilytravels okay Enjoy
Nice ... Im coming there too
@@harryarora9277 have a blast!
Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj are pretty crouded, but anyway, its seems you have a exstra bad luck. Sory to hear that and you also mentioned nationaly fairy day. Hope you came here to us again😊
We knew it would be crowded in August but we still had a great time. We love Slovenia and can’t wait to go back!
Barbaaa is the best😍😍
Amazing travel! I went to Vienna last 2022 and it was historical. 😊
Awesome! It’s definitely one of our favorite cities in Europe
Mezarlara yapmıyoruz bu pagan geleneği değil uydurma
welcome..
I came back from Slovenia a month ago and really miss it. Sorry to hear about the rude couples while waiting for the bus. The lake bled cake was amazing! I initially shared with my friends but that soon changed to one pp. Great vlog
@@annawong5027 thanks for watching! This trip was a year ago and I’m still drooling over that cake! Slovenia is such an amazing place that’s it’s hard not to miss. Wishing you many fun travels!
I researched what we could do with our kids (1yr and 3yrs old) and came across your video. We went to Split a few weeks ago and did pretty much everything you did and recommended! The Polaris boat trip was fantastic and our little girl even made a new friend. Many thanks for the vid!
I’m so glad the video helped! Traveling with kids is always tough because you want to make sure they have a good time too (even tougher with a 1 and 3 year old!). So happy you had a great trip ❤
awesome and geniune
Welcome to Istanbul ❤
❤ love ur joy Mashallah bless you all
Hi, may i know how much it cost you?
Yes it cost me 90 euros!
Which tour did you use? Thankyouuu
@@wijoyonitisastro1871the company is called Gravity Tandem Paragliding flygravity.com/
These men were police or soldiers I understood from their haircuts and weapons that they were soldiers or plainclothes police. You are very nervous. This is not America. Everyone loves, caresses, kisses and plays with children. We do not see everyone as a pervert.Our religion commands us to love children because they are sinless and pure like angels the beauty in them comes from God and we admire it. this has nothing to do with sex.
Thanks for your reply. This was the first time we had this encounter and over our time of 3 months in Turkey we had many more encounters like this. We came to realize that this is normal and that the people of Turkey are some of the kindest we have ever met.
YOU ARE TOO TENSE. You misunderstood everything This is not America, we communicate by touching each other You thought of Turkey as an unsafe life in your country We kiss, smell and love children. Even if we don't have our own children. There may be many perverts in America, but everyone loves children here
You obviously did not read what we wrote! We came to realize that this is normal in Turkey and embraced it. We have never thought of Turkey as an unsafe country or we would never have gone there. Coming from America our first instinct is to be fearful and uncomfortable of things that are not common in our home country. We truly love Turkey and the people but if you grew up in America you would understandably be questionable at first. Thanks for watching!
looks stunning
at some bibles that Vatican forbade or omitted, there are lots of stories about Cappadocians and saints that lived there many years ago.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience going to Vintgar Gorge! I'm also planning on going there this summer with my family. I'm especially worried about the "walking situation" back and forth the parking lot and I'm so happy to see your honest review of the whole experience! The gorge I'm sure was beautiful and you took a really great video despite having a toddler and a baby!
Thanks so much! Slovenia is so wonderful and was one of our favorite places. The gorge is so so beautiful and even the walk back was beautiful. But carrying kids on your back makes it a bit tougher than it should be. But I'm sure letting a 3-year-old walk would have been even tougher! Definitely arrive early and try to get a parking spot at the first parking lot rather than taking the shuttle and if you have young kids, probably plan to take a more leisurely and slow day than us. Maybe stop at the cute cafe on the walk back and grab some yummy dumplings. Hope your trip is magical!
You have the sweetest degustaitor.She eats everything so sweet.She is a little gurman.Great family in great places in great Dubrovnik.
We holiday in alanya every year from the UK x
That’s awesome! Some of the best beaches we have ever seen. We can’t wait to go back! Enjoy your holidays this year ♥️
welcome to turkey....paradise🤩🤩🤩🤩
Our favorite country ❤️

Love from India (Haryana)❤️
Glad you enjoyed. We would love to visit India someday!
What dates did you travel here?
I believe this was the first week of September 2023
Erm, did the guy in the blue tshirt have a gun ?
Oh my gosh, I didn’t notice that before! When the other guy lifts his shirt I can see something but I can’t say for sure what it is. I hope not. That’s definitely scary 😮
@@gabbettfamilytravels hopfully they were undercover police or somthing 😐
I love my country, thanks for reminding me :):)
Our pleasure!
In the 15 years ive been going to Marmaris with my 4 daughters no men have ever done that. Ive never seen that with other children and I dont believe its a customary thing
It certainly was strange for us to experience being from America where this does not happen. Similar instances happened to us throughout our 3 months in Turkey in different cities as well. While this particular situation may not be customary, the kindness and hospitality in Turkey certainly is 😊 We always had strangers interacting with our kids, playing with them, offering food, so to us it seemed customary. Everyone has their own experience of course.
