There are numerous travel vloggers in TH-cam. Nearly all of them stand out for their different genere. some specialise in doing flabbergasting antics with local population, some drawing their inspiration from cold war era, many of them using different languages to reach specific audience, etc. Gabriel stands apart as a ‘No nonsense’ travel vlogger, totally concentrating on pleasures of travel. He travels so extensively it looks as if he is perpetually travelling, while many others enjoy long breaks in between their uploads. He is also extremely courteous to others, watch how he talks in whispers while sitting in a taxi or bus. Grabiel’s episodes are very up to date, within just a couple of days of visiting a place, or sometimes even the very next day, you can expect him to post his video of that place. Best wishes and happy traveling around the world friend.
I couldn't have said it better ! Gabe is a real special Travel Legend, a real explorer full of passion, respect, enthusiasm, adventurous but also so much curiosity of history, old ruins, caves, castles etc etc.. détermination .. all this wrapped up in a real gentleman full of class , respect and spirituality. Watch him for years, first to improve my english..and then discovered his remarquable personality ! Made me think of Jules Vern's "Around The World in 80 Days" ..but a modern one.😊👍
The Romanian government should pay you for promoting their beautiful country. It’s truly a hidden gem, and Europe’s best kept secret. You opened my eyes to Croatia a few years ago, Gabriel, now Romania!
That brick building in Margina was an old Vinegar factory... Up until 1930 the factory produced acetone and then vinegar and canned cucumbers and pickles.
Sarmizegetusa Regia is an ancient Dacian sanctuary (sort of Romanian stonehenge). I haven't seen any vloggers going there, probably the most underrated destination of the region
Didn’t expect there to be so much English language on the signage in the more rural areas! That surprised me a lot. What a cool trip to hire a car and drive through this beautiful area of Europe.
In Romania they speak English very well most of the people under 45, if you go to some of the neighbours not sure and the language is very difficult...
@@adamnagy42325 oh wow that’s interesting, I guess most schools internationally want to ensure the younger generations speak English so it makes sense!
The ambience in that church was so imposing...wonderful music at Sibiu !! they reminded me a little of the traditional rythms and dances in Thrace, in the north-eastern Greece✌👏😍
I really enjoyed Sibiu end of august 2015. Very lively town and beautiful architecture. I love the "eyes" on the buildings, Romania overall was a surprisingly nice country. It exceeded all my expectations.
Romania is certainly an interesting country, lots of history thanks for another great video. Lovely to see people embracing their heritage at that concert. Feel like I’m really there. Thank you 🙏
That castle---Wow! And their portraits, the clothes they wore, etc. The ghosts of history, I sense their footsteps in that awesome place. The music also set the atmosphere. Epic! Thanks!
Had a short visit to Romania back in April and immediately it became one of my favourite countries. I only got to see the much underrated Bucharest, beautiful Brasov and Sinaia with its stunning mountains, but these videos are showing there's a lot more to see.
If u like it already in Bucharest that its not really tourist friendly city , Big Crowded capital city , a little rundown in some parts but still has some very nice sites to see , then u gonna love the rest of the country ^^
This has to be my favorite travel vlog you've done. Castle Hunyadi is on my bucket list! The food looks incredible and the history is so special and unique in Romania.
@@dhanyrafaelthose closed bastides didn't look to me more attractive than the Peles Castle, Northern Moldavian Unesco monasteries or the Black Sea. But perhaps for someone interested in migrating...
Highly recomend driving on Transalpina and Transfagarasan roads for the spectacular mountain landscapes. Top Gear named Transfagarasan the greatest driving road in the world. One piece of advice would be to try and avoid going in the weekend as there are many weekend warriors going from Bucharest and it can get crowded.
I went to Romania on a School Trip 1976 My first ever trip in Plane (Prop) t was an eye opener for me coming from the west .. seriously poor .. . I so happy Romania brke away from commiism joint the EU & Nato ----- After this video im bookig to go back Lamb Stew Dinner for €14 is a not brainer ...and a €5ß round trip on Ryaair from Holland.... Its cheaper and culturally more rewardable than me travelling 40 mniuntes to Amsterdam ! Thanks man
@@GabrielTravelerVideosit was built in 1912. Nothing to do with comunism.Brick building in Europe tend to be more begining of 1900s. Comunists loved concrete :)) bricks not that much.
Great video G, drove around Romania about 10 years ago. Love the windows in the roofs of buildings in Sibiu, they look like eyes. Are you going to visit the painted churches, they are incredible.
If you like churches/cathedrals I recommend you visit Curtea de Arges Monastery, not much else to see in that town though, maybe if you pass through there.
Gabriel I admire how you share history and I know you are awake to what's going on right now. God bless you brother! I can always predict what's in your grocery bag
Romania is a land of enchantment, where nature's beauty and rich heritage embrace visitors with open arms, leaving a lasting impression on their hearts.
I have never seen a wood stove like the one in the castle ( with the musician beside it playing ) All those glass spheres would give off light for the room. Shame that they had moved and unhooked it. Thanks Gabe. This vid is awesome. Love that stove, so very cool !!
Who likes this song as much as I do? ---------> Rummelsnuff - Salutare (Pankow XII-G-XXII FM Remix) Gabriel you are a living phenomenom. Good traveling!
Nice video! You should also visit Peles Castle from Sinaia city. You'll be amazed by the interior of it. It has most of the furniture and objects still there, unlike many castles where all the rooms are mostly empty. You can go from Sibiu to Sighisoara first, a very old city which is part of Unesco heritage, and then go to Brasov city - Bran city which is really close to Brasov (also has Dracula's Castle) - and then to Sinaia (Peles Castle). Will be a shame not to visit these places now that you're here! :)
Gabe if you have time you should visit town of Targoviste to see Ceausescu last hours place (trial + execution) its a museum and then Draculas Castle/Bran Castle
Hey Gabriel! I just want to say thank you so much for helping to insprie my travels over the years. I've just been able to get back into travelling since Covid, and I share your passion for Greece. I visited Thessaloniki and Halkidiki just 4 weeks ago and I'm heading back to see Meteora in 2 weeks. I would highly recommend Halkidiki if you've never been, beautiful place and such an easy travelling system. Let me know if you'd like any recommendations here, as I explored a good amount. It's crazy to me that I started watching you back in maybe 2014 and you're still going stronger than ever
Hey Gabriel, thank for showing as this part of Romania. It looks a very nice place with lots of history and beautiful old buildings. Keep safe my friend and keep travelling.
You would have a lot to see in Romania,Iasi,Maramures, Bucovina, Transfagarasan , Banat area,Cluj,Brasov,Alba Iulia, Targu Mures, Bicaz gorge, Danube Delta, so much more. You need a longer period.
How fascinating. I did a report on Romania in elementary school and I remember becoming fascinated by the country and language. I wonder if you’ll encounter a lot of Ukrainian refugees.
This is great Gabe,Romania looks wonderful and I’d love to visit….you are on fine form this summer regarding videos and quality….but then again you always are👍
Unbelievable travel vlog !! Awesome adventure ! Superb places ! Romania should promote their country better, at least Transylvania with Hunedoara, Sibiu, Brasov and Sighisoara is absolutely gorgeous ! Thanks, Gabriel !! You are super cool. I love your shirts ! :)
Mb we want to "fly under the radar", we can see what is happening to some Western countries, we don t want miggrants to consider our country as a good option, we don t want homeless, criminals, rapists etc, we are used with peace and not rly. many problems here.
Impressive Castle Gabriel, but confused tho why was that guy playing Greensleaves in a Romanian castle 18:00 .. I googled it, says was written by an English Monarch Henry VIII…. interesting. Maybe they liked it so much they played it in Romania.. 👍. I can see it now, Ancient times and Gabe in a Roman Toga going for a Bath 😂. 39:04 Awesome thing to do, to help an old man..
Amazing video, as always. It is said that Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) was imprisoned in the Corvin Castle for some time. I liked music in Sibiu (the birthplace of current Romanian president Klaus Iohannis, a Transylvanian Saxon) at night. I hope that you fully enjoy Romania this time as much as you can as this country may soon go into the Schengen Zone, maybe even on the end of this year or next year. This is unfortunate that you must return your rented car in Timişoara as Sibiu is more to center of the country, on the crossroad of roads. From Sibiu, there are nice day trips to Transfagaraşan or Transalpina Road, Sinaia+Buşteni+Raşnov and Alba Iulia+Turda. But from Timişoara, it is also a possibility to go via Oradea to Maramureş (Merry Cemetery Săpânța, Bârsana Orthodox Monastery, Oaş Village Museum in Negreşti-Oaş as main tourist spots) about which we had a debate in comments some days earlier.
And Hagi (football player who played for Real Madrid and Barcelona) and Nastase and Tiriac (tennis players, first world number 1 in ATP if I remember correctly) and Patzaichin (best ever at kayac canoe), etc. :)
I think Dacia is pronounced something like Dachia. I would love to go there and ride a Dacia. But I don't want to get stamp in passport, I wonder if they still stamp passports.
It is pronunced Dachia, Forvo also confirms. ;) It reminds me, though, on the Russian word for a small (holiday) cottage or a shack named dacha, second home, often located in the exurbs of post-Soviet countries. Of course, it is not anything related here as dacha is from Russian verb дать - to give and Dacia was the name of the ancient kingdom and also later Roman province on the territory of today's Romania. Modern country Romania, though, consists of territories of medieval kingdoms of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania. Carpathian Mountains were natural border between Wallachia and Transylvania.

That brick building in Margina was an old Vinegar factory... Up until 1930 the factory produced acetone and then vinegar and canned cucumbers and pickles.
Meaning it was nationalized /confiscated from the original owners and didn't survive the fall of the communist regime.
Sarmizegetusa Regia is an ancient Dacian sanctuary (sort of Romanian stonehenge). I haven't seen any vloggers going there, probably the most underrated destination of the region
Asta pentru ca exista o politica de dezradacinare a romanilor care nu trebuie sa-si cunoasca istoria.
Wonderful country! Been all over Romania. Very warm people. Incredible natural beauty. Great food!

I’m glad you were able to visit Corvin Castle. When I visit the castle last year, it was being renovated from the inside.
Had a short visit to Romania back in April and immediately it became one of my favourite countries. I only got to see the much underrated Bucharest, beautiful Brasov and Sinaia with its stunning mountains, but these videos are showing there's a lot more to see.
Hi Gabe, thank you for showing us so beautiful places. The Castle was amazing. Great adventure. We are waiting next video. Chaos
I heard about the Corvin Castle and it's history, situated in Hunedoara city of Romania, thank you for showing the coverage of that place.
Hi Gabe enjoying your video on Romania it looks like an interesting country its full of surprises enjoy your adventures☺
Strange to hear a piece of music from 16th century england....composed for Henry V111...for Anne Boleyn....in a Romanian castle.
Such a beautiful country. I'm only fortunate to have visited Burcharest so far.
If u like it already in Bucharest that its not really tourist friendly city , Big Crowded capital city , a little rundown in some parts but still has some very nice sites to see ,
then u gonna love the rest of the country ^^
I’ve also only been to Bucharest. I’d like to visit other parts of Romania.
This has to be my favorite travel vlog you've done. Castle Hunyadi is on my bucket list! The food looks incredible and the history is so special and unique in Romania.
You would need about a month to see everything what's interesting in Romania. June is the best month to do that. 👍
Wow, now I really want to travel Romania.
Transylvania, the middle of the country, is a treasure !! South and East are not interesting.
@@dhanyrafaelthose closed bastides didn't look to me more attractive than the Peles Castle, Northern Moldavian Unesco monasteries or the Black Sea. But perhaps for someone interested in migrating...
@@dhanyrafael There's plenty to see in the south of the Carpathians too, especially in Gorj, Vrancea, etc ... Romania is not Transylvania only.
Highly recomend driving on Transalpina and Transfagarasan roads for the spectacular mountain landscapes. Top Gear named Transfagarasan the greatest driving road in the world. One piece of advice would be to try and avoid going in the weekend as there are many weekend warriors going from Bucharest and it can get crowded.
This. Do this. 100% worth it. You might even get to see wild bears. Also Peles Castle and Therme Spa in Bucharest.
So many things to see and explore in this magnificent country

Very interesting drive east from Timisoara towards Romania ‘s highlands.
Another breath of fresh air! Always interesting and unexpected places 👌👌❤
Wow, that is what I consider a “fairy tale” castle to be. Thanks so much for showing us.😊
Yes, it appeared in many movies, too. :)
@@dhanyrafael and it is one of the basic parts of the mixely constructed Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest that is mainly its copy.
Once again, in addition to great video work bro, the music was excellent! I LOVE Romania!
Miorita is one of the best Romanian restaurants, happy you had some cabbage rolls there
I'm loving you exploring this underrated gem of a country, where I was born ❤
The whole Balkan region is just a treasure to explore
This is a really nice country Gabe thank for uploading
The big brick building which you passed in Margina was a vinegar factory. More then 600 people worked there.
I see, good to know.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosit was built in 1912. Nothing to do with comunism.Brick building in Europe tend to be more begining of 1900s. Comunists loved concrete :)) bricks not that much.
@@danac2899meaning they ruined the bricks factories too
@@eedragonr I did not say that. I just mentioned that they usually built using concrete
@@danac2899 Got it. 👍
Great video G, drove around Romania about 10 years ago. Love the windows in the roofs of buildings in Sibiu, they look like eyes.
Are you going to visit the painted churches, they are incredible.
I love your touring castles. They and cathedrals are the best part of Europe.
Really enjoyed this tour....castle was the highlight ...and your lamb stew with wine for 15 bucks was a great deal...for a change!! haha
You have weather completely opposite from England 🏴. Here it is raining 🌧 and windy 🌬 and not very warm 😮
Excited to see more videos from Romania keep them coming ^^
I love your attitude & your hardwork in making the video. God bless you..❤ from West Bengal India.🙏
If you like churches/cathedrals I recommend you visit Curtea de Arges Monastery, not much else to see in that town though, maybe if you pass through there.
I think that building in Margina was the old vinegar factory.
Interesting it was the feudal land of countess Elizabeth, the mother of John Corvinus
Gabriel I admire how you share history and I know you are awake to what's going on right now. God bless you brother! I can always predict what's in your grocery bag
Stunning country!
Please come to Iasi (Romania) if you want to feel the real Romania.
Romania is a land of enchantment, where nature's beauty and rich heritage embrace visitors with open arms, leaving a lasting impression on their hearts.
majestic indeed.✌
That’s bad ass music in the castle scenes.
Yep...great taste in music!
If you have time, visit Balea Lake and Salina Turda. Romania is a gorgeous place.
Another great video!
Thanks for conveying these wonderful impressions from my hometown Timisoara and from all the other places you show. :)
Bravo. Gabriel. Wonderful film!
I appreciate you Gabriel.
From Craig. GB.
Good morning Gabriel 🌤!! Great video once again of a very beautiful city full of green and not block of flats everywhere 🏘🏫 !!
Look at this! One of my favorite people in the land of my ancestors. Great video Gabe, As always. How those cabbage rolls taste?
Tasty.
I have never seen a wood stove like the one in the castle ( with the musician beside it playing ) All those glass spheres would give off light for the room. Shame that they had moved and unhooked it. Thanks Gabe. This vid is awesome. Love that stove, so very cool !!
That was perfect. Different ingredients in the right amount. Superb. ✌🙏
Welcome again in my lovely country, Romania!
Thanks for traveling around the world (especially Europe) and video taping it for all of us!!! 😃
Thanks for the video brother . Could learn a lot about Romania .

Nice videos. I am glad seeing my home country through your videos. Good luck.
Visit the Prokosko Lake on the Vranica mountain in Bosnia & Herzegovina !!! 😃😃😃
Romania is starting to look better and better and Bucharest is much better than 6 years ago. Good luck to you
Gabe if you have time you should visit town of Targoviste to see Ceausescu last hours place (trial + execution) its a museum and then Draculas Castle/Bran Castle
Excellent work again beautiful castle crawl.. Carpathian Mtns!!! This area of the world holds deep mystery. 💫

A must visit Craiova ,the capital of Oltenia. Beautiful city.
E frumoasa si Craiova, asa e.
That huge abandoned factory in Margina used to make vinegar.
I think Dacia is pronounced something like Dachia. I would love to go there and ride a Dacia. But I don't want to get stamp in passport, I wonder if they still stamp passports.
It is pronunced Dachia, Forvo also confirms. ;) It reminds me, though, on the Russian word for a small (holiday) cottage or a shack named dacha, second home, often located in the exurbs of post-Soviet countries. Of course, it is not anything related here as dacha is from Russian verb дать - to give and Dacia was the name of the ancient kingdom and also later Roman province on the territory of today's Romania. Modern country Romania, though, consists of territories of medieval kingdoms of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania. Carpathian Mountains were natural border between Wallachia and Transylvania.
@@Ojstra You are right. I feel that дача (holiday house) is pronounced a bit longer and Dacia is short and snappy.
Yes, we have Dacia cars in the UK too, and the ads on telly taught us to pronounce it DATCH-ee-ah!
Welcome ❤❤❤
