Full time slow traveler here. Will be in Rhodes tomorrow (Sunday 28th) aboard Holland America Oosterdam. I started in Fort Lauderdale on this 25 day cruise. The cruise will end in Athens Greece on the 30th. I will then start my 3 month slow travel in Southern Europe and then 3 months in Serbia/ Bosnia/ Turkey. This cruise hit 19 ports of call, so I’ve got a taste of many places y’all have stayed. Love the videos. Looks like great weather tomorrow. Cheers!

Question: If you have entered various European ports , such as Athens , Rhodos ,Greece, etc has your Schengen time (90 days) not already started? Thus subtracted from the 3 months. Or do you have an EU passport? The last three countries are not Schengen, which I assume is why you are going to them.

As far as weather goes, I was there in February and it rained off and on for 3 weeks straight, but still enjoyed it. There were very very few tourists when I was there and when I drove around the island it was like driving out in New Mexico 40 years ago, I was the only person on the road. I wanted to pull over and take more pictures but everywhere I wanted to stop in the car I was worried the brakes in the car wouldnt hold on such inclines. I thought I would never see the Dama Dama unless I got out and trekked around a bit, but to my surprise about 8 of them walked right past the front of my car as did what appeared to be mountain goats who ran right up the side of a rocky mountain side. I asked a local about these goats and he said there were no mountain goats. Oh well.

You would do well to spend some time learning about the history of the places you visit and learn about the culture, art and architecture. Ever hear of the Knights Hospitaller aka the Knights of St-John? How about the colossus of Rhodes? The acropolis was not under “construction”.

I don’t think many of your videos are realistic because you often don’t visit many site seeing locations. Why go to a place like Rhodes and not pay to visit the castles or museums? It’s a long way to travel and then skimp out on spending money on these amazing places. Don’t get me wrong, some places are expensive and overrated, but many are worth every penny. This is the whole point of going there.

Oh, I'm not suggesting otherwise. I'm merely suggesting that if you're going to put out general recommendations, then you should provide realistic costs associated with the cost of site seeing. I'm also not suggesting you should see everything, just show the realistic cost in your videos based on your budget to see sites. It's not realistic to visit a place and not go inside. It gives the false impression that a place is less expensive than it really is. Like I said, why travel that far and not spend 20 euros to see a place? That's realistic. Call them entertainment and optional. Also, was it worth the price? Help out a brother here.

Not really, live your lifestyle. However, you are putting out general and specific information to the benefit of your audience. Every travel destination has their top 10 sites and costs. Why not include that as representative of the destination and let us know if they are worth the cost? You include the cost of accommodation, which is also "lifestyle" but not the tourist sites which means your videos don't really provide an accurate representation of what people will spend. Yea, they vary, but so does everything else. Just seems strange to go that far and spend nothing on the must see sites.

Try the jump on & off bus tour which takes you round all the best sites, hire a bike or an electric bike or even try out a segway tour. Best tavernas for value, ethnicity & excellent food are off the beaten track & round the back streets.
