How incredible is the fact that my hometown was mentioned. Greetings from Porto 🇵🇹🇪🇺
Amo Oporto!
I'm headed to Porto in November and really looking forward to it ~ the history, the architecture, the food, the people, and the exercise from walking up the hills!
One of my favorite cities on earth! Love Porto!!!
Porto is Amazing
@@jimbrennan1181 It will be a real struggle 😅
Prague has finally grown on me, but my heart and budget belong to Kraków. There is so much more to see and do there.
Great to know because I’m visiting soon!
I love them both
I like Krakow too. I stayed just outside the Jewish ghetto district which was interesting and was able to visit Schindler's factory as well. I've been hearing that tourists are still going to Lviv in Ukraine from Krakow, which is about 43 miles from the Polish border.
Krakow is amazing
the Schindler factory is nothing special
Some of my favourite cheap places
- France: Burgundy
- Italy: Calabria
- Spain: Asturias
- Greece: Thessaloniki and the three peninsulas south
"Three penisulas" refering to Halkidiki (south of Thessaloniki) or to South Peloponnese?
I really wanted to get to Thessaloniki mainly because it’s Thessalonica from the Bible. But ultimately, I decided to bypass it and to hit Istanbul turkey because the Eastern side of Istanbul is technically Asia so on my trip, I was able to technically it Africa by going to Casablanca Morocco, I was all over Europe, and technically, I was in Asia all on the same trip
Yep halkidiki , too lazy to spell that out 😂
Do you happen to know the best all inclusive 🏖️ resort for families ?
@@LaurennRThe best or the cheapest? There are several all inclusive resorts for families in Spain. The Balearic Island may be too expensive in the Summer. Turkey has also very huge seletcion of all inclusive resorts, for more cheaper prices, and so is Bulgaria. Bulgaria might be the cheapest ( Im not sure in it) I would go to Greece, because Greece is the best destionation in the World. You can find all inclusive vaction in Crete ( or other islands ) for quite good prices. Cyprus is also fine, but too hot in the Summer
I was in Wroclaw few months ago and it is very cheap, with small number of tourists. And city is very beautiful and safe.
Going there in few months..thanks for the heads up
Me three guys!!!!!!!
Wroclaw is a fantastic city, very inexpensive with a lovely old town. Gdansk in the north of Poland is brilliant as well.
Krakow in Poland is very affordable, great transport, great food choice and a beautiful city to walk around
agreed! i have it on my other cheap destination video
@@bazza2708 i agree..
@bazza2708. Heading out there in November. Hoping it's still as nice but any recommendations or must see/eat?
@@dualdisaster85 I was there last week. It's such a beautiful city; even in the old square (the most touristy part of town) food and beers are really affordable.
@@mmcfarlane001 right on. My wife and I are really looking forward to it. I can't wait for the beer and food. Just hope it's not as cold. We're staying about 15 minutes walking from the square
You are absolutely right when you say that there are no cheap destinations anymore and I also agree with your decision to talk about the destinations that give you the best bang for the buck.
People should always remember that "cheap" is a relative thing. If you live in Scandinavia and have a well paying job there, pretty much all of Europe will be "cheap" for you. If you live in an Eastern European country and earn an average Eastern European wage, nowhere in Europe will be "cheap", including your own country. Still, there are better deals and worse deals that you can get when traveling, and you should look for that.
Exactly. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy travels.
I went to Alicante in Spain last year and it was wonderful...I went in November so the weather was nice, accomodations were affordable...and no crowds.
Another good thing about Bari, Italy is that there are ferries that go over to western Greece and the Ionian Islands
Are they overnight ferries?
I have been to warclow in Poland. It not a big city but it is cheaper than most of Europe because Poland don't have the euro. And it has one of the best beautiful old town Squares in Europe
Brasov holds a dear place in my heart - my favorite food of all time. Street food chimney bread from a 100 year old woman on the side of the road - it was warm, cinnamon sugary heaven. I still crave it.
@donaldlewis567 yes randomly one of the best EU experiences
I'll be in Brasov next week and I'll be looking out for this unicorn bread!!!
@@TravelsWithBeth Hello dear fellow traveller and greetings from Romania!
here is a tip for you to find the best "Kurtosh": find the ones that make it over an open charcoal/wood fire! those are by far the best ever!
also don`t be shy in tasting all of our lovely food and especially drinks!
look in the menu for everything that ends with
"ata" they are liqueurs infused with actual fruit.
visinata
afinata
if you have any questions for a Romanian, I`m right here!
PS: you will most likely see some brown bears, DON`T APPROACH THEM! AND DON`T FEED THEM!
@@vicu_negru thank you, so much, for responding to my comment! I fly out tomorrow and I am super excited. I am only there for a week, but I booked without properly researching and I feel like I need a whole year to explore such a beautiful and diverse country!
Medieval city of Troyes, France is so beautiful and affordable... and there's a direct train to Paris every hour :)
We went to Krakow, Prague, Budapest, Zagreb and Dubrovnik. Zagreb and Dubrovnik were very reasonable, clean and English is spoken. Our next trip is to Switzerland, opposite of cheap. 😂
Sarajevo (now has direct flights from the UK)-the most amazing blend of cultures in Europe and so much history with great people and makes some of the places in your video look expensive. Anywhere in Poland could also be on the list easily. Each city has so much history and Krakow has the nicest square (more so than Prague imo) and Gdańsk and Lublin are great too.
Budapest, Hungary. We go every year. This November to December we have rented a 2 bdrm apartment 2 blocks from Androsi and 5 blocks from the Danube. $35 a night. We expect total cost with food and boose, $50 to $55 a day . This include Weekly concerts at Listz House. We do like Prague and some other cities but Budapest feels like home
I agree and I can't wait to fo back in September
Istanbul is affordable and absolutely amazing!
Yes, I loved Cordoba! I recommend it to everyone I know that is planning a trip to Spain.
I'm so happy that you mentioned my hometown, greetings from Liverpool 🥰
Even if you have the money to go to the Amalfi Coast, don’t. Ride in for a day, see the beautiful landscapes, and get tf out. It is so overpriced and besides the workers, there are literally zero Italians. 15-20€ for a pizza in Positano vs a 3-6€ pizza a half hour north in Naples, and will be much better in Naples (it won’t be bad on the amalfi coast though)
Great video! I would also include Krakow, Poland. A lot of bang for your buck! Very affordable and so much to see and do.
I filmed my other cheap euro destinations video there 😀 great city and a fun city too
I vote for that! I had a blast there last year
When ever in Riga, Latvia, I always stay at the Hotel Viktorija, a grand Art Nouveau building, centrally located, a bit run down and in need of some TLC, but the prices for staying there are an absolute steal! The last time I visited was in May of this year, and guess what a room with double bed cost for a night? 37 Euros. Thirty seven, you read correctly.
Belfast! It's a crime you didn't mention the Giant's Causeway! That was my favourite part about visiting Belfast. Do a day trip, you won't regret it! Also, as for affordability, Malta is my favourite! :)
I am in Tbilisi Georgia right now and it is very affordable and welcoming
We absolutely love Brasov. We have a family flat there about a 10 minute walk from the Black Church. We go there several times a year (currently live in the US - for now lol).
Thats cool. I really liked Brasov when i was there
I absolutely agree with Bari. An extraordinary place in itself, in addition it offers Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Grotte Castellana, Matera, Ostuni and many others.
Another wonderful place is Tropea (Calabria).
Thank you! Very helpful and the comments section is too!
Excellent. As usual- quick pace and informative. Thank you.
Bratislava is really good. I also did Riga, Tallinn and Helsinki. All good. Prague is fun also.
Mark, another wonderful video! You are SO smart, it’s a pleasure to follow your train of thought…
honestly poland would definetely be on my list. I had a girlfriend there a few years ago and when I visited her I saw many beautiful cities there and it wasn't expensive. I even went back last summer as I had things to settle there and I hanged with people that I met the first time around who still remembered me and I had a great time there again. I even made a new friend who helped me out a lot when I had phone trouble in gdansk to get to the volleyball match, always been treated like familly there
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Liverpool can be pricey, especially accommodation at Weekends. If you're doing a day trip however and avoid Drinking and Eating at places like Albert Docks and The Cavern Club and other Tourist Traps you can get good value.
SMOKED Sprats Are my favorite from LATVIA 🇱🇻 😍
Porto , wonderful place , not just inexpensive but beautiful , some great art deco buildings , super clean and friendly .
I did the south of France 2 months ago and I was pleasantly surprised with the prices in many cities: Carcassonne (the city not the fortress), Avignon, Marseille or even Toulouse.
French restaurants can be quite expensive if you don’t know how to pick them, but accommodations are usually affordable.
Thank you for these suggestions.
Great video!
When I see you being in Riga and talk about affordable cities, I would advise you to go to the partner city of Riga called Bremen in Germany, it's one of the cheapest big cities in Germany with a beautiful old town and many free concerts on the weekends and affordable museums, it is just 1 hour by regional train away from Hamburg and 1 hour away from the Nordic sea, definitely a city one should not skip on their germany trip
You can add Sibiu to the two Romanian cities. It's close by, stunning and affordable. In May, there were few tourists there.
Been following you for a while. And boom, Riga, my hometown!!! Hope you had a good experience!
You know we had a good time 😀
Great choices, I've been to most of these but Porto still on my list. Sofia I found super good value and interesting too.
Santiago de Compostela, north of Spain. Unbeatable.
We just came back from Europe we visited Prague and Budapest among a few more cities and we continue to be in love with Europe .. and yes Porto is affordable and beautiful!
Loved Prague when me and my Mum went ❤
Great list, been to most and loved them. Upon seeing the title Brasov was my first thought. Loved Romania in general (aside from the trains... holy hell, but at like 4E, you get what you paid for) - it and Bulgaria were like the South America of Europe. Great food, loved grilled vegetables with most our meals.
Gdansk, Poland was also really affordable and worth the stop.
Found Budapest still very affordable, even after Poland, Brno and Bratislava. Maybe still recovering from Scandinavian sticker shock. Top city on my "we've been to but I want to revisit ... but when it's not 98 degrees" list.
ja know what would be cool, is if you had a brief display of a map showing where the places you are talking about are.
Wolters in my home town, so great to see you here buddy !
Thanks for a great video!
I would say, even with or without a low budget I would recommend people to go to Porto. Fantastic city! Prefer Porto way over Lisbon!
I would also recommend people to look into Skopje. Lovely people and very cheap with alot of see and do.
Perfect destination for a 3-4 days trip.
We loved Riga so much that we named our daughter Riga. ❤
thats cool!
very cool!
Thanks for a great list. We headin’ to Prague, Riga and Porto in the next few months. Liverpool was awesome. Another “major” city we found surprisingly inexpensive was Glasgow. While Edinburgh (for The Who at the Castle) stole out hearts and we also fell in love with Glasgow that was only an hour or so away.
Riga and Bratislava definitely gems.
Went to riga in May, it was very dead. The old city was empty of people sadly, cool things to see also outside of the old town. All the people seemed to be inside malls, some very nice malls but also areas outside the city didn't look very nice. a nice place to visit but i prefer quite a few other cities such as Krakow, Ljublana etc..
@Tubehauge I went to Riga last June and the nightlife was amazing and love the architecture.I went during Midsummer and it was a lot of fun.
@@TravelAdventureswithEricB Prob best to go in the summer, natives are often not in the old town or out of town weekends. Read that it was better pre covid like many towns sadly
Natives don't go to old town in Riga, lots of tourists in summer
@@ok-vk9fv thats sad, the old town is beatiful but surprisingly few shops , restaurants etc compared to other smaller cities.
I enjoyed this video.😊❤
I'm so glad!
Great list, thank you.
Thank you!
Controversial opinion: but I found Vienna cheap when I was there for a week last August. Maybe because I only went to a few museums, which I bought at a three-for-one price, or even at home, I tend to eat one meal a day. But not including hotel or airfare I only spent about just under $400 that whole week, in terms of food, museums, travel (bus, U-Ban), thrift store, record stores, the Wheel, etc.
I wouldn't call Vienna "cheap" or inexpensive but I agree that you can do very well there. It's a magical city; there really is something in the air. I've travelled a fair bit of the western world and Vienna still holds a special place in my heart.
This was my experience with the Netherlands. It is a fairly expensive country but we stayed in a small village outside of Amsterdam. We ate one nice meal a day and cooked the other. It was very affordable if you stay away from the tourist areas.
@@jimbrennan1181 I even spent a day in Laxenburg, got a tour of the castle. That's a nice area too. I also think it cheap vs expensive is based on your lifestyle, and how much you plan to see and do on vacation. One could be in an expensive city like London and couch surf or stay in hostels and only go to local pubs for entertainment, and spend very little money. One can also stay at the nice hotel in Prague and eat at Michelin star restaurants.
@@Travelbug71 I also think the people who say a city like Amsterdam is expensive is 18, 19, 20 something American kids who go there to party. Or, a family who would need to pay for double the meals, bigger room. and more attractions for the kids.
They way I think international travel is the same way I think local travel. See everything you do as a day trip. Don't do something because it is a "must do", do things you would want to do, to enjoy. I was at some events, where I knew I was the only American there, like when I saw a 16:00 showing "A Third Man" at this small off the beaten path local theater, I just happen to walk past. Or, when I spent the afternoon at one of the cities FKK beaches.
Vienna, as long as you stay away from 1st and 7th district, can be very affordable: try to find a hotel or apartment in the 3rd district, e.g. around Landstrasse: from there you have 2 subway stops into city center, you eventually can walk it, and, most important of all: you have everything there you need for your stay: e.g. Croatian bakeries with breakfast at lowest budget and so good, "real" shops, not the international chains you can find everywhere, Rochus market a.m.m.
Or take a hotel/apartment in Ottakring, same story there.
this is really good video. def agree
Thank you
love that you are in Latvia! good bang for your buck when in the Baltics:)
Great stuff -- thanks.
Thank you
Bamberg is amazing. When our kid graduated college, we all went to Germany (where my wife lived for years before we met). That was the trip to Bamberg, which was fantastic!!
Also, Anne and I went to Cordoba about six weeks ago. Liked it much more than Sevilla or Madrid.
Very good tips
Malta’s top of my list. Only downside is that flying there from the US is pricey. Everything else is a good bang for your buck. Public transit goes everywhere on the islands. Hotel Europa in Sliema is cheap. The Pastizzi are 50¢ a pop. I’d go back in a heartbeat if I could.
Was there last month,, I have to go again, missed a museum 😂
This video makes traveling to Europe with a family seem affordable. Appreciate it.
Timely.
Thanks
Just came back from 2 days in Brno. I loved everything about it! Walkable, affordable, friendly people, and my gf and I were pretty much the only American tourists that we noticed..We also stumbled across a swing dance party and joined in on that
Now I want to go to Riga 😍👏👏👏
thank you for beautiful info thank you
Last year i made a two weeks trip Porto-Braga-Guimaraes-Lisbon-Lagos-Seville-Cordoba. Definitely recommend i'm sad i didn't have time to visit other nearby places like Grenada or small towns in northern Portugal.
For anyone planing a trip there I especially recommend whole day bike trips (you don't have to be scared of hills or weak legs with e-bikes) - ~8h ride around Sintra was one of my fav attractions ever. It was first time i picked a bike tour and now where ever i go i search for that option - you are on the fresh air, with amazing views, get to see more non-touristy places and are not stuck in queues or crowds 10/10.
Just don't go there during summer - the heat is absolutely hellish. I've been there in September and it was still scorching hot (over 30'C)
Where did you find the bike trips/tours? Would love your tip - heading there in Nov (Portugal)-thanks!!
@@laura_and_shanman i found it via googling for bike tours/hiking tours and searched for one that would take 6h+. I cannot dig out the booking confirm but it might have been the "Explore Sintra - Cascais National Park by e-Bike." by freebiketourslisbon (their place is located by Santa Apolonia station). Tour guide was a Dutch girl that moved to Portugal.
In Seville it was way to hot and i found a shorter evening bike tour that went around the town -
"Sunset Guided Bike Tour in Seville" By SeeByBike. This one was much shorter and focused more on history.
@@laura_and_shanman oh my reply didn't load? eh. I simply googled for bike/hike tours that would take more than 4h.
in Lisbon i believe it was the "Explore Sintra - Cascais National Park by e-Bike." by freebiketourslisbon (i remember it started from their office near santa apolonia station and tour guide was a Dutch girl that moved to Portugal)
In Seville it was to hot so i found an evening tour - "Sunset Guided Bike Tour in Seville" by SeeByBike - this one was limited to city limits and focused more on history
I'm in Nuerenburg/ Furth area in Germany....I find it cheap here... groceries are dirt cheap, especially at Aldi.
Greetings from Erding. We love Nürnberg, but prefer Coburg to Bamberg.
Groceries are not cheap, but so you see how over priced food is in the US.
@@Marco-zt6fz compared to austria alone they absolutely are a lot cheaper although its basically always the 1:1 same products
@@barbarawissinger Ahhh, good to know, but does Coburg have rauchbier?
Aldi finally made its way to the US. It's a hit over here! Why can't more grocery stores stop trying to price gouge? They would rather the food expire on the shelves than to sell it at a reasonable price.
I loved Bratislava!! I traveled there solo and felt like I was the only tourist around. One thing I loved were all the bookstores. There’s so much to do, see and places to eat, etc. The public transit is easy too.
I just returned from Romania…it’s so 🔥
Such wonderful people
Thanks so much for coming here and hopefully telling people that our country is not how it is shown in the media...
Been watching you for ages. First time you mention Romania as far as I seen.
Nice Information.😊
You look great! Glad you get the Liverpool humour. They are like that with friends, family and strangers. No discrimination. You grow up with thick skin as a scouser 😂
Berlin isn't "cheap" but for the size of the city and being in Germany, it's far less than you'd expect to spend.
Questionably Europe, but consider Istanbul as well. Incredible vibes, beautiful nature all around, and the lira is very low against the dollar or euro.
Turkey in general is really not cheap anymore due to inflation (and mismanagement). Hotels and restaurants prices in touristy places are actually comparable to Spain, and definitely more expensive than comparable places in eastern Europe.
Even a kebab/Döner is more expensive than what I have here in the south of Germany, which is already considered an expensive part of Germany 😅
I also just came back from a sailing trip in Turkey and it was soooo expensive! Never left the restaurants under 50€ per person. And we did not get much for that high price.
@@lilli2914 I had almost the exact opposite experience in 2023. I guess food and drinks in Bodrum and Marmaris can get kinda high but hotels in Istanbul, Goreme, and Antalya were cheap and most Turkish food (kahvalti, menemen, kebab, kumpir, midye) was abundant.
Hi, we've always found the Greek islands to be some of the most wonderful, affordable destinations...of course, not the Santorinis or Mykonos ...but just returned from Ikaria and Samos...fabulous REAL food! omg...haven't tasted food like this since I was a kid...(a long time ago)... straight from garden to table (literally)... and quiet, peaceful surrounds...only scary part were the mountainous roadways...but they too were generally quiet...
We loved Bratislava and Prague!!
Lublin Poland is such a great town too! Nice, Old World Hotels, an authentic Barbacon at the entance to Old Town, a legit Castle on the other side. Knights of Shining Armour would not be out of place in this town.
A "Red is Bad" store plus lots of good restaurants. I was there on a work trip, very inexpensive and lots of cute girls!
love you mark
Hey Mark, interesting video.
Thanks
Varna - Bulgaria in summer.
Bulgaria my love. St Constantin and Elena, Varna.
Varna sounds good.
Latvia is amazing ❤
Visited Tallinn, Pärnu, Riga and Jūrmala previous year in June. I had a really nice time there considering that I was lucky with the weather too :-). Regarding the prices though... It's definitely not cheap like it was 10-15 years ago, at least for my Swedish wallet 😅🥲. Considering how weak the Swedish crown is against the € and USD nowadays.... I could also say Gothenburg is worth visiting now 🙂.
My family went to Belfast Northern Ireland last summer for vacation and it’s not a bad place to visit.
I would definetly put Cracow on the list, it has one of the most Ryanair connections all over europe and the prices are also still very competitive!
Great place to visit, had a blast
I second Córdoba wonderful City, small related to Seville and Granada but lots to do. The Grand Mosque was on my bucket list. So glad I got to see it last September, even higher up for me than the Alhambra which was also amazing.
The year earlier we were In Ireland and I was hoping to see things related to Enya, but she hasn't released an album in a while and I saw much more on Garth Brooks. Ironically, there's a small museum across the street from the Grand Mosque that was blasting Enya!
I would pick Granada over both Seville and Cordoba. It felt smaller and has that wonderful setting.
@@MsTimelady71 I thought Córdoba was smaller than Granada. Regardless I agree and Granada is my favorite of the three.
Great advice; I always tell people to visit these less obvious but still fantastic places. However Prague may be affordable and breathtakingly beautiful but it is very crowded with tourists
I find that it's far less crowded a few blocks off the major thoroughfares. 😆
I lived in and out 3.5 years in Kuldiga,Latvia. Countryside of Latvia so beautiful. Jelgava, kuldiga, Ventspill and more whole country is gorgeous.
Liverpool is my favourite English city ❤
As an American Liverpool fan, the first city I wanna visit in England is Liverpool.
I loved liverpool
I'm a Liverpool fan as well. I got to see them play the Queens Park Rangers several years ago. I got to go out on the pitch! I got to sit in the captains seat! It was fantastic, and then they won! Steven Gerrard missed a free kick but then he scored the winning goal. Afterwards he came out for a meet and greet and everyone got a group picture with him - very nice and humble guy. Keep in mind, Anfield is not in the best of neighborhoods BUT compared to most urban cities in the U.S. it's still very safe. They also have great food and incredible cask ale - I was blown away by the quality and variety. It's a fantastic city that more people should visit.
Romania and Poland have gotta be my personal favourites, gunna film some youtube videos in poland soon for sure 😊
Great list Mark! Glad you included Romania. There’s a lot to see and discover there, and very authentic. Same can be said about some Hungarian towns that are easily reachable by train from Budapest, like Keckemét, Szeged and Pécs. Nowadays I try to avoid places that are overrun by tourists.
True on the hungarian cities too
So great to see Liverpool get the respect it deserves in this video. I'm Canadian by birth, but I always feel like I should have been from Merseyside
My list:
Gjirokaster, Albania
Bratislava, Slovakia
Brasov, Romania
Bursa, Turkey
Eger,Hungary
Novi Sad, Serbia
Motovun, Croatia
Trieste, Italy
Wroclav, Poland
Siracusse, Sicily
Wiesbaden, Germany
Utrecht, Holland
Oviedo, Spain
Gent, Belgium
Tallin Estonia and Riga Latvia
And bit more prices but still beautiful Salzburg and Hallstat Austria and Strasbourg, France and Bern, Switzerland, Bled, Slovenia.
Me during that last big fight on Ryan Air, "Stewardess, there's an ear in my soup."
.... and the airline charged me for it.
I was in Bratislava last year and enjoyed it, but I was very happy to see Sighisoara listed. It (and Transylvania generally) were the subject of my master's thesis and still have a great deal of appeal for me.
Good job
Ostuni outside of Bari is awesome too!
2:05 YEAH BABY! And it’s literally right across the river from Vienna! I love Bratislava. I went there on a mission trip in 2003 fell in love and I’ve been back numerous times. Super easy to get there because Vienna has a lot of flights to Vienna and then it’s right across the river. There are so many things in Bratislava that I would recommend eating and seeing and trying. I just love it. I don’t know what the dishes called, but there’s some sort of sheep cheese curd dish sometimes it has potatoes in it whatever it is, it’s amazing. And they have their own root beer Coke type thing called Kofola something like that. I really like it usually it served warm, but you can have it either way. Just remember ice isn’t really a thing in Europe unless you ask for it.
I think the gist should be there are no cheap or expensive places it's mainly how you approach it. Book super early to get the cheapest accomodation. Book rooms on the local low days. Decide on eating options, buying food and snacks from competitive supermarkets. Cooking yourself is generally far cheaper. Anywhere on Earth you can walk and use your eyes and breathe the same air as a rich man but pay nothing.
I really enjoyed Talin, Estonia.
Wonderful list! Brasov..so inexpensive. We had pizza and beer, right outside Dracula's Castle. One of the most touristy places around, yet it was only $12! It is beautiful there. The countryside looks a lot like the Smokey Mountains. Thanks for the reminder about the smoked beer in Bamberg. My husband always says it was like drinking bacon! 😄
Hello, and greetings from a Romanian!
i`m so happy to hear that you had a great country in what i think is one of the most underrated countries in Europe!
hope to have you back, so you can see some of the most hidden gems of our country!
those two destinations in Romania are at the top of my list in general ,regardless of budget friendly travel vacations, and I'd have to say the Baltics as well. I still want to go to Estonia although it may be pricer, but Tallinn just seems like a nice vacation.
Tallinn is really nice. I like ot a lot
