First Day In Armenia | Exploring With A Local Armenian
Thank you very much for the video. I am an Armenian and I haven't been neither in Goshavank nor in Haghartsin. It is very touching to watch it. I'd like to add that Mkhitar Gosh (1120-1213) is a great Armenian medieval thinker, writer, historian, teacher, law maker. He formed the first Armenian Law Book in 1184. He is the architect of this monastery as well. Thank you again and good luck!
Anahit Petrosyan 👌👌
4:00 He was saying that after he got drafted into the Soviet army, his battalion was stationed in Mongolia. He was a military musician there.
Armenia looks nice, I like the mountains
Dude you are everywhere.
Marco Polo yeah right? He/she must have seen all videos available in TH-cam.
Beautiful country! Happy to see you have a friend to share the experience it with! Ty for the video! And sharing! God Bless
The man in the car said he was a soldier in Mongolia. I’m assuming he was stationed there as a soviet soldier.
I see, that explains it.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos He also said he was a musician when serving in the army, he played trumpet
Yeah and he played with clarinet in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia. Probably in red army orchestra
Yep, soldat is a familiar term for soldier. I dunno where I've seen and heard this, but knew he was talking about his military service as a young man.
Tube Specific saldat is a Russian word for soldier
Those carvings are amazing, so detailed.
They are done in tufa stone.
You’re very brave for having traveled alone where not much English is spoken. I love Dilijan. The weather in the video looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to go back and experience all that with my American husband and children...be their tour guide. Thanks for sharing some of the beauty of Armenia.
Wow, I will be in Armenia in next few days, wish we can meet there
Earthy, biblical kind of feel. Fascinating! I would like to see it. I like the wood and the stone.
Watching you from Kathmandu, Nepal
Those old crosses are surrounded by energy, very interesting place!
Looks like a beautiful peaceful place!
@Rufet Resulzade stop spreading propaganda and it’s a good place not like your country massacring Armenians at 1988 in Baku and other cities and towns
Armenians lovely people.
@S M thank you.
Greek brothers
Its great that you're in Armenia. I'm really looking forward to seeing Yerevan.
Excellent choice of music. One of the reasons I love your channel, you use this more tradicional local music instead of the modern electronic computer-generated pop music most travel vloggers are using nowadays. Thanks!
He also showed you patios on the way. Saying that they are great for barbecuing and picnicking. Very happy you are visiting my homeland.
I'm Armenian and I have never been there. Hope to go someday!
Love from Indonesia..
Beautiful Nature! Awesome playground at 17:03! Enjoy! Much love ❤️
Beautiful country Gabriel! Food looks amazing! Stay safe 😊❤🙏
Nice new sweater. Beautiful countryside. Fall is familiar in Armenia...and now I'm starving!
Gabriel, I always love your choice of music! Interesting video too!
Beautiful stone carvings in monasteries, very patient work, something that no longer exists. Food looks yummi, very interesting country to visit, beside the strange language.
Nice looking country.... cool video Gabriel... safe travels.. 👍👍
Interesting and the weather was perfect.
Awesome video Gabriel!. So much history here. The Monasteries are still beautiful. Loved the mountains of Armenia. Very nice people. The food looked very good. Thank you for taking us along! Take care Gabriel.
🍁😊🍁
I was in Tbilisi yesterday and now I am hosteling in Baku, Azerbaijan watching this video
Awesome, have an epic time in Azerbaijan. I'm curious to go there, not sure if I'll make it this trip.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos be careful in Azerbaijan telling good things about Armenia and in Azerbaijan you will see presidents family status every where enjoy
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Come to Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 you will love🥰
Hi Gabe. Thanks for sharing.
I felt so much serenity throughout this video. ☮️
Sweet.
Awesome as always...😎🤟⚡
That looked like a good day 😊
The Lada Niva was great!
Really interesting' flavour' of what's around.......great resting place!! Food looks n sounds like it's suitably yummy!!!!! Fun...... sunny days.........😁
Great video!!!
*_Hey Gabriel, i'm binge watching your channel these last few days, i saw all of your Georgian and Moldovan clips and i definitely looking forward to see all of your adventures from all around the world. You are my inspiration to become a traveler. I'm inviting you to come in Skopje (my city) or anywhere in my country Macedonia. There are many beautiful places, mountains, Ohridsko Lake, delicious food, tradition etc. Greetings, a new subscriber here from Skopje. :))))_*
Macedonia is definitely on my list to visit sometime, sounds great. Thanks for watching.
Another great video my friend, hope to get thumbs up from you, waiting to see more videos from your adventure :-)
wow that food at the end there looks delicious
The churches are amazing. It reminds me of Celtic designs. Wow, this was incredible.
Heloo Gabriel we all enjoyed watching program from Beautiful Armenia : thanks
Great video
So cool to see Armenia! And glad you found a friend to experience it with. That dish at the end reminds me of something my mom made- she called it 3 cheese chicken bake 😆It was probably not nearly as elaborate with the seasonings.
That park is beautiful. It looks surprisingly similar to some parks in Pennsylvania
lol
Missed you..You came there when i left the country😥Anyways have a great time there mate.Hope to meet you somewhere in the globe❤
I'm waiting for that moment. Let's hunt Gaby. 🤣🤣
Love the driver's country accent.
Nice country side of Armenia, so natural🌿👍
That old church was very interesting dripping with history
⛪🛣️⛰️🏘️🏡✨🌳🌲🌲👍👍👍💞💕❣️Thank you so much!
♥️Grazie mille.. Gabriel.. 👍👍
13:54 I remember being at the tree when I was little since I always visited my grandparents in the summer
Hi Madeleine..food looks good..nice to have some company
6:27 wow wow wee, that's very nice
Wish I could have reached into the computer screen with a spoon and tasted that buffalo chicken . Wonderful video. Safe travels to you.
That dinner looked delicious. It would be good if you had captured a few seconds of the restaurant sign or menu to document the location.
I was just in Dilijan about ten days ago. Went to that second monestary.
Plus sweet name
So many COOL old cars over there...built to LAST.
*Gabriel, When I watch your channel I fall in love with Countries*
*I've never been to and people I've never met. 😍*
*Armenia is a gorgeous place to get lost in. 🥰*
Me too!!!!!!
@S M you don’t need to be rude you Turk/Azeri
I was there, last sunday. Seems nice, but it was really cold. Not much to see, other than a couple of churches. Talking about Dilijan. Yerevan, it's really nice.
Caucasus region is very unique as it blends European and Near Eastern cultures together due to its geographical location. Neither Europe nor fully Asian, it has a flavor of its own and took thousands of years to evolve. 👍🏻
I don’t know I would say Armenia and Georgia are very European
that Bridge resembles my life.
Omg 😆 I’m lmao , the taxi guy killing it, for some reason he’s talking Russian but anyway you don’t understand. Overall, loved the video, I’m glad y’all liked it
4th!
"Hey there, how's it going"
Im second generation Armenian On my Moms side , my grandmother escaped the Turkish camps and was tattooed on one arm and leg . Adolf said " After all who came to the aid of the Armenians " Thanks for posting
Paul Harnad I think I recognize your name from 23andMe as a “relative” lol
The countryside looks beautiful
gabriel, can you list your videos in order as when one finishes the pop ups appear and you are in a different country. please advise as i love your videos. x
Gabriel just wanted to tell you that both Georgian and Armenian alphabets were created by the Armenian priest Mesrob Mashdodz
Very cool.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos it's lie Georgian alphabet is more old then armenian and we have 3 alphabet which one was created can you tell me? Don't say lie it's not good
a n u k a i understand there is some controversy about the subject but you can check it on wikipedia. But being yourself a Georgian nationalist, i don’t think there is anything on this earth who can change your opinion.
@@marikamarika8064 read what armenian lies? Only who say that is armenians... keep dreaming keep dreaming 😁
@S M and let's see what Wikipedia says about Georgian alphabet... Only Armenians claim that it was created by some dude meshtop or I don't know who is he and I really don't care... In Wikipedia also I can write something and Georgian alphabet also has numerolog meaning which armenian does not have our alphabet is more old more diverse and more meaningful please stop this lies and our culture has nothing to do with yours
)))
Armenian gentleman: - [in Mongolia] I served in a musical platoon, I played the clarinet!
Gabriel: (... maybe those are other places in Mongolia) - And here's Madeleine!

It's interesting, what an impression left my country on the person,who visited so many countries ?
Gabriel, how is the weather over there?
Couldn't you ask the people in that supermarket what those very dense, cake-like sweets you were buying and what they contained, Gabriel?
Or, did doing so just slip your mind?
Beautiful, looking Armenia through your eyes is spectacular. Gaby, I wanna give you 1 advice Which isn't required but I wanna tell you, use 'Economical' instead of 'Cheap' it sounds cool. Yeah that's all. Love you n you're Awesome 😉
Gosh meaning in Ethiopian language, Bravo!!! there are historical connection, Armenian and Ethiopian, which I don't know much. Gosh !!!you visted, Armenia.
means ,Good Job, you visited Armenia.

You should put a link up to Madalins TH-cam. It would be interesting to see her experiences in Iran.
She doesn't have a youtube channel or instagram or anything yet.
nice :)
hey gabriel traveler , i really like the way your videos are. what software do you use if you dont mind me asking? thank you
Thanks, I use Videopad.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos on Mac or Windows? Sorry I’m new to the tech game
@@1019neary Windows, I use a Lenovo Yoga.
What camera were you using bro? The pic quality is excellent! 👍😄
Gopro 7.
The stone crosses you filmed is called “khachkar”. in year 301 AD. Armenia was the First Nation to accept Christianity in the world, as a state/country.
He said he was a soldier in a musical platoon. That's what he said 4.21
Japanese soldier approaches during fictional combat
red army musical platoon soldier throws at him clarinet
In your face!
I can live armenia😍
I like the music starting at 7:54 ❤❤👌👌😊😊 What's the name of this song?
Cool. Music is listed in the description.
Hmmm, in a minivan travelling to Dilijan as a single man with a single woman and next stop Yerevan?Poetic indeed...
perhaps you could number your videos so at least we could follow in sync. i have youtube garden friends who number their videos so you know exactly where you are with them it’s so much easier. maybe you could give this some thought. kind regards
Hi Susan, the best way to watch my videos in order is by viewing them as a playlist because I've organized them in chronological order. Here's my playlist for Armenia:
th-cam.com/video/9tXRiePyNDY/w-d-xo.html
And here are my other playlists: th-cam.com/users/gabejedmoplaylists
Your driver was speaking Russian. Said he was a soldier in Mongolia. Played clarinet while he was serving.
Cool, thanks.
Go to city Stepanakert
At 12.12 is that writing on the outside of the building or decoration ?
sam maynard it’s writing
It’s not a building, it’s a church. And yeah it is writing which is not always the case.
👍👍
Are you married ?
Nice Armenia.
Looks like ol' Gabe might get tricked into a relationship
They already have signs in English. I guess it is already too late to visit Armenia.
there s santana in the restaurant?
Lost in translation, absolutely hilarious.
What's your name? Mongolia!
👍
Another Gods Own - 5i★
Nice Content 🙂 I sub your Channel for more Stuff Like that 👍
Gabe the driver stayed with you guys throughout the tour you guys did..........I guess you pay him at the end
of course, Gabe would pay him. You can tell by his character.
Be sure to check out Khor Virap while your in Armenia! Check out our insta page @backpacking.around for some pics of Armenia you might find interesting!! Had an amazing month there in back in August. Safe travels ✌️
Iran is a beautiful country.would be very nice to visit
Lol no way
Beautiful countryside and autumn colours.
Is Armenia Europe or Middle East ?
RS Gallaher that’s a tricky one because it is kind of in both if u think about it
RS Gallaher geographically Asia, culturally Europe
You may say it's on the border of Asia and Europe. Culture is surely European. The Caucasian republics isn't "middle East" , they are just on Caucasus, the area between Black sea and Caspian sea. In general people call "middle East" the countries south/southeast from Turkey.
@@ArmeniaDbest same with Georgia.
Ελένη Ασημοπούλου Turkey is also considered middle east
I think that the only thing that I liked, it was the meal!!!
I would love to move over there/ the East someday.
People there still seem to have a healthy common sense whilst in Germany I have to slalom through Demonstrations.
Demonstrations for Climate, pro Kurds, anti Kurds, pro migration, anti migration, save the bees, save the farmers,....
Western Europe is getting divided by political views like in the U.S. .
Cool comment and I love your use of the word 'slalom.' Great choice. Yeah, I just read in dw.com where the Berlin Christian Democrats have proposed that there be a Commissioner of Loneliness cuz Berlin is supposedly the 'Capital of Loneliness' .... Maybe loneliness and common sense are linked, I dunno .... I know War and the Environment are - War is definitely not good for the Environment!, somebody ought to have on a protest sign at the next demonstration .... All's I know is Berlin needs to just finish their new airport that's God knows is how late and how over budget (I'd expect that in the U.S. but this is Germany?) .... Also read where environmentalists are saying there should be speed limits on the Autobahn (no comment - that's a uniquely German thing) .... At least in the past some people have gotten involved in demonstrations and such in order to meet people, a way of combating loneliness .... By the way, historically the East has been no panacea, to put it lightly, when it comes to common sense and getting along with the neighbors .... Well, to sum it all up, our erstwhile traveler who slaloms around potential obstacles, Gabe, appears to be a good example of getting along with his neighbors, using common sense a good portion of the time and 'Being Alone without Being Lonely,' well maybe not 100% of the time, but he's better than most. At least I think he is.
Yeah west europe is finished. Socialism took over
fried neckbones and some home fries
