Awesome, will read it..thanks for posting Gabriel..

Hey, it's my hometown! I grew up here, but left when I was 15 to move back to San Francisco. I never see any travel related content about Nevada City ever. It's so interesting to see that a lot of the stores that were around 20-25 years ago are still there! We used to eat at Fred's Chinese Restaurant all the time and knew the owner well. Oh so many childhood memories...😀

I mean this so genuinely and have written this before. Your vids seriously help with my anxiety. I don’t know if it’s your tone. Way you are. I also love milk and into similar stuff as u. I don’t know maybe a combo of all. But u r by far my fav vlogger. We are also about same age and I’m pretty sure u love the movie dazed and confused (which was pretty much my HS life in movie form) because u always say alright alright alright :)))) anyways. Just hope u know that ur vids help not just me. But many others I am sure. In so many ways. Please keep pushing on and being you because selfishly, I need your vids :) 🤙🏼🧡

Very picturesque city, nice vibe and marvellous nature !

Gabe, we have followed you for about ten years. Under various names. You have sent Yvonne cards and took my advice on the prog music enroute.... This is the Gabe we really enjoy. When you follow your Zen. This is the grassroot Gabe that originally got us hooked on your adventures! The Hippie child grown to world spiritual traveler via world adventures. Keep following this. It is unique to you our friend!!! Who was that Shaman guy in Mexico that wrote books about dreams and connection points? That kind of adventure tripping. Find the spiritual again everywhere. The Path!!

Hello Gabriel. In one video can you please discuss how do you maintain your diet (nutrient intake and balance) during your travel (especially during long schedules)? The quality of water also varies across countries ; how do you take care of that challenge (if at all it qualifies to be one).

Hi Gabriel, California is so different from most states and different on another level when it comes to natural products and holistic healing. It's a beautiful place, very spiritual. Even in San Francisco you'll find health markets with organic meat and milk just an incredible scene if it wasn't for California we wouldn't be aware of the natural health craze with food and exercise. We've seen the ravages of drugs and alcohol in our society and this alternative method of living is quite intriguing and offers hope for those who seek it.

Its a beautiful place would like to visit there some day

I love the Crv, great vehicle

Your US videos are just as interesting as your travel videos Sir!

Great nuanced discussion of what side of the street to walk on. I’m sure all the people who said you should face the traffic are British. They have it drummed in to them as part of their Highway Code, and nuance is not a UK strength (speaking as a Brit).

I've walked down a lot of roads in both directions and I've never been in a situation in which I had to suddenly jump out of the way to avoid a car that came too close. Whichever way you're walking, when you see or hear a car coming just make sure you're safely out of the way of traffic. I agree that walking towards oncoming traffic might be a good idea, but as I explained there are other factors. Walk on whichever side of the road seems like it's safer at the time, then cross the road if it seems safer over there. It would be kinda dumb to always walk on one side of the road no matter what out of principle.

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Well yes, there are various factors to consider in the decision. However, all things being equal, it's always safer to face traffic. With regards to leaping out of the way, it's good that you've never had to but it only takes one occurrence where a leaping, lunging , plunging Gabe, will be a safe Gabe. Cheers 👍

Great video Gabe,you still practicing yoga?

You need to hook with Harald Baldr and do a video. You both are the original KZread travel vlogers and he mentions you all the time, "high-roller". It would be a fun to see your different personalities and travel styles collide for a few days.

Gabe, the length of your mighty right arm with a camera afixed to the end of it is giving me the spins man. Luckily I don't get motion sickness easlly. Could you please tell us the story of your right arm, is it extra long or overdeveloped, and what year did this start. Like in the book The Third Policeman, where the policemen had melded with there bicycles. Has your hand and arm started the same molecular osmosis?
