    Congratulations on reaching 50k subs. It is a hard slog, and you always have to ignore those voices which say it can't be done. Looking forward to the 100k Q&A.

      Thanks Scott!! That means a lot. Looking forward to your 100k one in approximately 5-10 working days :)

    At the beginning, I noticed the leopard coat disappearing from the rack. I thought "what's up with that?" until 9:38. Anyway, thanks for the videos and here's hoping for 500K next year. The algorithm is really tough nowadays, but I'm sure you can crack it.

    Excellent video Tom. I know how hard you work at creating the best product you can. Keep on giving us the wide range of videos you think up. They're all inspiring and informative.

    Congrats Tom, you certainly deserve it! I always love your videos, they're very informative and nudges me to do my own adventures.
    Also, I'm glad you posted, I was getting worried about you.

    I'm like you with regards to having all the flights, trains and hotels reserved and locked in, but I also check out the best restaurants according to locals (in my case Italians) to have a base to begin with when it comes to where to eat dinners.
    Regarding a B2 in German, that's enough to have decent conversations and get things done. Going deeper requires living there and getting involved there. And immersion is the only way to go, after learning the basic rules of grammar. Gradually you get better at understanding and it becomes a second language. When you are thinking in German, you're there.
    Regarding bridges, my fave was also the Sydney Harbor bridge, like you, followed by Ponte Vecchio here in Firenze, and the Golden Gate Bridge in the Bay Area.

    I always thought of “pennies on the dollar” as denoting a small percentage, not just any percentage. I would use it for buying something at a bargain or sold under duress so is therefore a good deal.

    The part about being vegan while traveling to all these locations around the world really hit home, exactly my thoughts and glad to hear someone else feels the same way!

    Congratulations! I love your erudite content - it's a real differentiator (and refreshing). We're doing a Bergen to Palermo trip in spring 2025 and it involves taking German trains from Kiel through to Zurich (staying overnight in Stuttgart). What advice would you give us for how long to book in advance and how long to leave for changing trains? Thanks in advance

    Part of your Titanic video could come from your Canada trip. We did VIA rail The Ocean train from Montreal to Halifax NS - there's an absolutely brilliant museum that covers the Titanic because lots of victims were washed up/recovered there. They are buried in 3 cemeteries there. It's a really interesting and surprisingly sophisticated small city. Might see you on VIA rail Train 1.

      The Maritime Museum in Halifax has a genuine deckchair from the Titanic which, as fan of British idiom, amused me greatly.

    Loved your Tunisia series, I was there in January this year and wow, the colloseum of El Jem, simply amazing, better than Rome in my opinion. I'm hoping to head back again in 2025 to visit more little known Roman ruins. Dougga hopefully.
    I'd also love to go to Algeria - is that on your 'list' of places to visit ?

    3 American paddleboats in places more interesting than Maine and Connecticut for 1,000, Alex 😅:
    1.) Memphis Riverboats (on the Mighty Mississippi)
    2.) Padelford Riverboats in St. Paul, MN (also the Mighty Mississippi)
    3.) The General Jackson Showboat, Nashville, TN (Cumberland River)

    I'm so happy for you. We are going to glean your Morocco fir tips and tricks to plan a trip there. Please, if you are on this side of the Pond, don't hesitate to reach out if you need help in Canada. The Smithsonian and the Zoo were wonderful. I'm watching you now.

    "Pennies on the dollar" is a good expression, connoting something sold on deep discount or under duress, for a tiny fraction of its true value. See also: "fire sale prices".

    If you liked the steamer, you should come see the ones we get on the Leman lake, and go to another country by boat. (I know Lausanne-Evian is not as exciting as Spain-Marocco, but the steamer are nice 😀).
    Let me know if you need help for this, or any tips on the french part of Switzerland (we can have nice prices when we are from here...)

    I totally get that you want to shift your boundaries about sharing your personal life, but then to put the question about the girlfriend in the thumbnail, when you don't answer it in the video it's not cool at all to be honest.
