    Mari, it seems you have a really awesome grandmother.
    She looks way younger than 91, I guess that means travel makes you young.
    So cool!

    I, too, got my love of travel from my grandmother! She was always bringing me stuff from Egypt, the Bahamas, Turkey, wherever she went. Sadly she passed away when I was 13, but I've saved everything and constantly look to her photos for inspiration. As always, thank you for sharing! ❤️🌍

      @mari.johnson  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’re definitely not too young! There’s so much more time. Also looking into working holiday visas if you haven’t!

    Hi Mari, this was such a great video! Your grandma is so cute and inspiring! Have you done any videos on travel fears/anxieties? I'm about to go teach English abroad and I get pretty nervous when traveling so it would be great to hear your perspective. :)

    • @mari.johnson
      @mari.johnson  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No I haven't yet, but that's a good idea! That's so awesome you're going to be teaching abroad! xo

    what a sweet and wonderful woman, great stories, I have to ask how do you afford to travel so much I'm great at budgeting and I have the time I just can't fit it into the budget

    • @mari.johnson
      @mari.johnson  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll answer this in a video soon!

    How about just having a very short layover in an airport in a foreign country, does that count?

  • @phatcurvypinay
    @phatcurvypinay 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i think the only reason that pushes me to obtain US citizenship is the perks that its passport has. you can travel visa free to a lot of countries. i feel I am limited with my current Philippine passport.

    • @callofduty4702
      @callofduty4702 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      How is it like living in the Philippines?

    • @phatcurvypinay
      @phatcurvypinay 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +David Ramos it was great! life is pretty simple compared here (i currently live in New York). everyone knows every one. you can go by a day without spending money, if you so choose. neighbors bring over food to each other's houses.

    • @callofduty4702
      @callofduty4702 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Diana Ragub If your describing the Philippines, it sounds like there is more community. I would like to visit one day. That and New York. I like the city life too sometimes.

    • @phatcurvypinay
      @phatcurvypinay 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +David Ramos i came from the visayas part of the islands. it is the one that had that huge typhoon two years ago. beaches are great over there too! Mari went to Boracay and featured helmet diving in her videos!

    • @callofduty4702
      @callofduty4702 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Diana Ragub Sounds like fun. hopefully i get to visit one day.
