      Well, I've been to 37 countries and I have never visit either Finland or Norway, and I lived in Sweden during my first 33 trips. So visiting your neighbours isn't completely strange.

      @@Borje-th1fc Finland seems very much like Sweden in many ways, so to me, it's just boring going there. But it's probably beautiful if your from somewhere else but Scandinavia. And Norway is super expensive, so why waste my money to go there?? A friend of mine went to Norway and she got a normal sized ham and cheese Pizza for 16€. Because that's about how much a pizza costs

      All the trips I went on from the age of 18 without my family were just funded simply through working and saving up! Quite literally as simple as that, no help from my parents. I would just work as much as I could on the evenings and weekends. The trips were also on a budget so money would stretch as far as possible.

Most places don't allow you to do another job (and it's completely legal for a company to do this). Most jobs (even the good ones) don't even cover basic living expenses, and there is no minimum wage... It's why where I am from, travel is for the rich and privileged....

      Oisin Cosgrove ‘technically it is’ sorry but it is not at all. 6 counties belong to the uk and the rest is it’s own country. They did not fight for their freedom for so many years, causing so many deaths and executions for people to say they ‘technically’ are still part of the uk. That is extremely offensive to Irish people who feel very strongly about their history

I don't know for what reason you're going there, and if you're going alone.... but you can go to the "Druskininkai air... train? " i have no idea how its in english, sorry.
      I know a few great restaurants, *Toli toli* and *Senasis nemunas*
      Estonia- You can go to the Tallin television tower, i really don't know how to explain things in english, its hard... so i recomment just googling it and getting information in english.
      Some really nice restaurants - NOA restaurant, restaurant Leib.

    My step dad is Mexican and his family have invited me countless of times to visit Mexico with them, but sadly, my mother would never allow me to go.
    I'm excited for when I turn 18 and graduate high school, because I plan on taking a two year gap to be able to travel to a few places off my bucket list! Some may say I'm thinking too big but I plan on visiting around 50 countries during those two years!
    Watching your videos has inspired me to travel and go backpacking and because of your vlogs, I'm able to learn about new destinations to travel to and also, live through your vlogs, haha.

    100% recommend Croatia, if you fly into pula and rent a car, drive and visit everywhere (including some of the must see islands) all the way down to Dubrovnik, there are plenty of hostels all around the country and if you stay away from tourist area it is really cheap 😀 I went there with my family (family of 4) a few weeks ago and we ended up driving 1400km in 14 days

      Journey With Jemma I have one and if you scratch on your wall (if it’s a bit bumpy) it’ll scratch off the writing underneath, if you scratch on a flat surface like a countertop coins work really well - I don’t know if that makes sense but you have to scratch really carefully so you don’t damage the map underneath

Not including layovers.
