I travel a lot. On this channel I'm gonna share my adventures with you.
My name is Johannes and in 2021 I left my country of birth, in search of fortune and fame.
My girlfriend Denise will join us for most of the adventures, but don't worry, she's hilarious.

A full day of two Europeans being impressed by Istanbul 🇹🇷
Istanbul, the city where east meets west, and our first stop back on the European continent after half a year in Asia! We really enjoyed Istanbul, both because of its delicious food (Turkish breakfast is probably my favorite of all breakfasts I've tried), but also because of its beautiful architecture (like the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Galata Tower). Join us as we spend a day just walking around, drinking tea, and simply just enjoy this beautiful Turkish city!

What do you do when you have a 19 hour layover in Shanghai? Well, I got a 24 hour temporary visitor permit and headed in to town to check it out!

And as if that was not enough, I also had the tastiest dumplings I've ever had here: Xiaolongbao, the...

Visiting the Temple of Literature (Van Mieu) in Hanoi 🇻🇳

The Temple of Literature was the first university in Vietnam, founded more than 1000 years ago. It was not a university in the way we think of them today, but a Confucianist temple dedicated to educate the future elites in the country. It has not been active for the last few hundred years, but it's still pretty so we decided to have a look! Let's visit Van Mieu, aka the Temple of Literature! #v...

Would you like some egg and sugar batter in your coffee? Well, it's quite popular here in Hanoi, and a lot better than expected! Normally Vietnamese coffee is made with condensed milk, but after the second world war there was a shortage of condensed milk. To solve that problem someone decided to mix egg and sugar into a batter, and use it as a substitute. And it works pretty well! Let's try! #e...

Trying POOP COFFEE (Civet Coffee) in Laos 🇱🇦
Просмотров 1164 месяца назад
What is the best way to process coffee? Well, some people say by having an animal consume it and poop it out! It's called Civet coffee, or "Kopi luwak", and is quite an unique thing! It's very expensive, and large scale commercial production of it linked to animal abuse where the Civets are being force fed large amounts of coffee beans. But just outside of Luang Prabang I had heard about a smal...

Thanks for visited our civet❤
Thank you for showing us around 😊
what was the departing time of the bus?
I try it ones never agine and im Swedish 🇸🇪 rotten fish no thank you haha 😂
In London you will pay for this big ice cream about £11-15 !
It’s very cheap 😮
it worked for me, stop over 3 nights in shangrila
I'm happy to hear it worked for you! Hope you enjoyed it 😄
Skip the banana and go for chicken, curry, and ananas instead.
That one is also very good!
Pear, spinach and garlic on pizza is actually delicious. And yes my favourite - tandoori chicken pizza with peanut butter (and pineapple).
Ohh, that does sound really delicious! 😁
Magia Polski
Hope you can get a longer visa to China and explore more of the country. The other tier 1 cities are just as clean, modern and fun as Shanghai! Enjoyed your enthusiasm to visit even with all the demonization the country from western media. Love seeing western travellers document their initial reactions to China
I hope to come back one day and see more 😄
J'ai l'impression que ce couple ne s'intéresse pas beaucoup à l'histoire .Avant de visiter un pays, j'essaie toujours de me renseigner sur la culture, traditions et nourriture de ce pays.Mais c'est bien que des touristes aussi sympathiques viennent à Gdansk
Not secret anymore, thanks to you!
Amazing video, Shanghai is the best! China is nothing like how western propaganda depicts it lol.
Sorry that you had this experience. This is sad. I just booked Etihad flight last month and last weekend. Didnt encounter this issue. They had all the available hotels for my dates in July. One booking for is 2nights and other is 3nights stopover on Abu Dhabi.
That's great to hear! I'm happy it worked like intended for you 😄
The more proper way to eat the "soup dumpling" is to poke a hole of the dumpling with a chopstick, pour the soup out in the spoon, and drink it. then eat the dumplings with 1 part soy sauce/3 part vinegar & ginger slices..yummmy.🤑🤑🤑🤑
Nice Video Guys!
Everything in China is the Better USA
Svensk pizza är bäst, och man kan ju egentligen välja egna tillval till sin specialpizza! Tror att Jalapeños hade varit gott till era pizzor!
Det är sant! Och det skulle jag kunna tänka mig 😁
What is wrong with you 2 you stay in Abu Dhabi and do nothing but complain that its too hot after walking around with all your luggage.... you got a free holiday in a beautiful place and do nothing but whine just stay home in future and do everyone a favour !!
Did you even watch the video? 😂 Our biggest problem was that it was NOT free, and it was simply not worth the money we had to pay in our opinion! 🤷♂️
I have used stopover twice already. Excellent value. Have 3rd one coming this July. Had no issue booking the hotel. They are just mad that they didn't pre-plan their booking and had to pay out of pocket. Its a middle eastern country. Of course its hot. Things are not going to change just because they arrived.
What do you mean with that we didn't pre-plan? We tried three months in advance 😂
@@realvoluntaryexile So it wasn't free for you I have the deal booked later in the year including hotel confirmation and voucher so 100% free for me I can only suggest in future you pay more attention when booking !!
Good for you that it worked out! Our biggest problem with this was that it was not possible to check availabilites BEFORE booking (which you would have know if you watched the video)!
Whatever tastes good on its own can only taste super with something else, not true.
Very true!
So sad just hearing about your experience
Well, it is what it is 🤷♂️
Thank you so muchfrom heart. What an awesome video! Truly amazing!
Thank you for your nice comment 😊
How long before visiting did you buy the tickets?
About three months!
No one should get food at the airport unless they have to
hi, I would like to ask if you visited Koh Wai during November? im doubting to go in Nov or wait till Dec for better weather. Thank you!!!
Yes, we were there in November! We had kinda mixed weather, so it really depends on how lucky you are! But normally the weather is more stable in December as far as I know!
👍👍👍
better New York LOL
şakşuka is turkish too lol
Go to India. Krishna and Jesus are seen as same. Jesus traveled Silk Road in his lost years to India learned from spiritual masters brought the ideas back and was murdered.
wait a minute, isn't Turkey a European country anyway?
Some say it is, some say it's not, but it has one part in Europe and one part in Asia! (we were on the european side in this video)
@@realvoluntaryexile ohh, until now I thought Turkey was in Europe, I guess education in America is a bit weak 🤣
😂
Have a nice trip❤ I was born and grew up in Istanbul. I cannot even say I have seen half of the Istanbul. Too many things to see! I recommend Balat to visit🐈
Thank you 😊
beagle(simit) is a good option for breakfast. We eat usually
It's very tasty!
🎉 Nice video. I hope in the future, my Small Travel Channel can grow yours. Maby you have some tips? 😢
The only tip I can give is just keep going!
@@realvoluntaryexile that’s actually brilliant, there’s no other way honestly 😂
Lovely..enjoy your stay❤
Thank you 😊
Hello two Europeans 🎉
Wolud you say "Two Europeans being impressed by Oslo" or "Two Europeans being impressed by Paris"? I don't think so. Istanbulites are also Europeans and Istanbul is in fact one of the key cities of European civilization. Not just when it was a Byzantine city, but also when it was the capital of the Ottoman Empire. For hundreds of years Ottoman Istanbul was one of the largest trading and cultural centers in Europe. So please, don't go there and see yourself as "people coming from Europe", people there will find it funny. You are in many ways, in the capital of Europe.
You are kinda right, and I did not intend to offend anyone! However, we are (me and my girlfriend) from two different european countries so it was simply the easiest way to describe us!
If you don’t have money don’t travel.
What you hold in your hand is most famous food in Türkiye so called Simit. So you two european, We are 85 Million Türks and 1 of them is me wish you pleasent stay in our Country .
Thank you very much 😄
Heres something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'...... .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :) In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name, partially or fully. Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages, but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :) Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's. The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to', just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc. Basically, the use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix in country names like Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on. Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old. Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble (to sound like) 'Türkiye' we got various spellings like; Turq-uía (in Spanish), Turch-ia (in Italian), Turq-uie (in French) Turk-ei (in German) Turk-ey (in English) Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named turkey.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German, but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years. Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)
Interesting explanation, I've never really thought about that! I meant no offence saying "Turkey", it just takes some time getting used to a new word (like I still accidentally refer to Czechia as the Czech Republic sometimes)!
@@realvoluntaryexile Oh yeah, many who still use the old name do so because of been used to it :) which is normal and very understandable, some things do take time. You both have a wonderful trip and best wishes. :)
@@realvoluntaryexile ❤
it,s name Gözleme.
Just like the Turks, it was very nice to dip bread while eating😂
Bienvenue dans la Turquie d’Europe de l’Est, mes amis ❤🎉
欢迎来到东欧的土耳其🇹🇷🎄🎋🎇🧋🍧
Okay, you have traveled a lot in the alleys of Istanbul. But I congratulate you because you ate it by dipping pieces of bread just like folk songs in the melemen breakfast. Just like 80 percent of folk turks. ❤
That's the only way to eat it 😁
"tWo EurOpeAnS" lol OK
"One Swede and one German" is a bit too long, don't you think? 🤔
Simit is a stable snack in all around Turkey. I love it with the breakfast, but if I am walking, I just buy one without cheese or nutella.
I personally like the ones with cheese the best 😁
Workers generally eat a simit with tea(sometimes with juice) as breakfast while going to their work in the morning. Also when you are walking around town and you get hungry you also eat simit. It's a popular snack.
It's really tasty, so I get why! 😁
Comparing Shanghai to NYC is insulting.
白天两个城市差不多,但夜晚属于上海😂
????白天两个城市差不多?别侮辱上海好吗,中国农村也没有纽约那么脏乱差破。
What's it called? I plan on going to Cancun next year and I would kill for a good taco
As far as I know it doesn't have a name, but it was the most crowded stall outside the bus station!

I unfortunately have no idea :(
