A Passport, A Dollar - with Sweller Van Dweller
Канада
Добавлен 12 июн 2023
Sweller travels solo and on a frugal budget. And he craves a rich travel experience, so immerses himself in the local culture as much as possible rather than ‘being a tourist” by choosing local transportation and eating at locals restaurants - when there’s not one other foreigner around, he knows he’s got it right! If you like Drew Binsky, Lost LeBlanc, Bald and Bankrupt you'll love it here!

I'm flying to Colombia to escape the declining standard of living in Canada and to replace the harsh Canadian weather with the more mild climate there - and I'm going to live well on only $20 a day. When I arrive, I first need to figure out whether to take a taxi and risk the "Millionaire's Ride" or stick with public transit and Bogota's Transmilenio where there's the reported threat of possibl...

Anorher awesome video! 😊
Thank you! 😁
I don't know what happened, I had been watching all your videos but Google stopped recommending your new ones on my front page like my other subscribed channels. Glad I remembered to look you up again 👍
I might actually be ending this channel because of that... but do not fear - I will be posting these and all new videos on my other channel that is doing better. Check it out: Life In A Tin Can
Your videos are so good but I found some problems in your channel. Here are some possible reasons: 1. SEO Optimization 2. Target Audience Reach 3. Effective Use of Hash tags 4. Social Media sharing You need to optimize your channel videos. It’s help to grow your channel. Can I help you?
Los perros captan las malas vibras!!😮😮😮
Hey Sweller Van Dweller, gr8 video! What you ate are called AREPAS, and they are made of corn. Very popular in Colombia and Venezuela! Rock on, luv ur video!
Thanks! I've finally figured that out as I got further along in my trip. Amazing country!
Thanks for posting this! Visiting Bogota next week and looking to climb this as well. I was upset because I saw lots of posts online about how dangerous this trail was due to crime/robberies, but then I also saw a couple newer posts from the past year or two saying the police presence is increased and it's a lot safer. Great to see an actual video like this!
Who build the walk way nice
I have always wanted to visit the famous Monserrate hill! Do you remember when I told you the hill is also famous because there is a Red bull cycling competition called the downhill of Monserrate? It is a fantastic sport and people go there to see the competition and have fun. I am also willing to see the downhill someday. I'm going to share the video with my friends. Have a nice time! 🙂👍
Yes, I remember you telling me that! What a crazy bike ride that would be 😲
*Follow along as the adventure unfolds in amazing Colombia, exploring delicious food, jaw-dropping nature, and wonderful local people!*
❤
Such a well-produced video! those tombs look so exciting. The shots are fantastic, and the scenery is absolutely mesmerizing. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Your videos are really well-done, too!
I'm first liking and leaving a comment. The ancient tombs look beautiful! ;)
It your Colombian id it always shows your blood type. I was surprised when I found out that other countries didn't do this.
Not in Canada... but to obtain access to the waterfall hike, you had to provide blood type to the attendant there!
At least you'd be in the right spot
Ha! Most witty comment ever! 😉👍
Awesome video. Greetings! 😉👍
Thanks 🙏👍
Wow Great video 👍 Hi Sweller 🙋♀️😊
Hey, thanks!
That is cool
A very unique environment... I show a lot more of the surrounding area in the full video.
Bro blink or something, not trying to be a dick but just staring into my soul isn’t cool
The Paramo looks wonderful. Did you watch the football game of Colombia VS Brazil in the restaurant? I believe we won that day. Hehe! ;)
Yes I did! The games were on screen everywhere! Ha!
@@APassportADollar Yeah! It's pretty awesome and fun! 😉
Yah, another great video. You make me Want to go out and see the world
I hope you can do it, traveling and exploring changed my life and has been my greatest pleasure. Even though I keep the budget to $20 a day, I hope I show that it can be amazing! 😃
Owner said he'd be back any minute
... 15 years ago...
None, America should do better for all of us. Nobody should have to live in their cars or trucks.
I live in trucks in europe 😂
It's called a conversion kit. Trunk Mate makes very good ones and also Road Loft, Van Packers, and Van Lab. You just have to be willing to pay for great car sleeping options.
its a beetle undergoing restoration...
In America that's what it would be, but belive it or not in other countries you don't get towed for sitting on a public road for more than 2 days
@@JuneTheCapybara i mean yeah lol. but its in primer and has all its bodywork done
Alas, it’s never gonna work at 6 ft 2. But since Covid I seem to get the worst chest infections and coughs and have learnt to sleep sitting up - issue is swelling so loads of water and some walking when well enough. I actually sleep in a fetal position so only need about 5ft 8 but sometimes you gotta stretch!
Yeah at 6'2 things would be a little bit more difficult. And I agree with what you said it's okay if you sleep in the fetal position but sometimes you just got to stretch out for a while
Sleeping in the front is unhealthy..watch out for blood clots .Don't sleep with bent knees. You are better off sleeping like an incline/recliner position
To sleep in the front bench seat of my pickup, I have a regular pillow + pillow case then put a thin cutting board inside the pillow case, this allows me to angle the pillow against the passenger door, the cutting board keeps the pillow from folding, then I lay in pickup in a recliner position, I can sleep comfortably in a recliner position. I bought a regular down blanket and did a rolling stitch on the bottom creating a top quilt with a foot box, this make it easy to stick my feet in the blanket and my feet don't stick through when I pull the blanket over my head.
I love the trick with the cutting board! Ingenious!
You are in Medellín, its a very chimba of city parcero, in the well pa👍🏻
A station wagon makes it easier also. Appreciate the tips.
Station wagons are fantastic!
I had the perfect sleep brought on by watching this 😅
OMG....we need a video on sleeping positions now!! Some people will use any excuse for attention 🙄
Dacia sells such a platform for sleeping in their cars, but the space between you and the ceiling is getting a bit claustrophobic. When it comes to Europe, I'd love to buy a Rivian R2, but it will be a bit pricey; and it won't be before three years at least.
Yeah the rivian would give you plenty of space and options!
Huh? Nothing happened!
Disaster barely averted. He came inches from knocking my camera over the ledge.
Ah, I see it now, thanks.
Cheers 🍻🥂🍾🍷🍸🍹😅
Awesome video my friend! I remember some years ago when I was a little boy, me and some members of my family had a trip to Medellin at night, and a few hours later, a group of police stopped our trip for us to have a little sleeping time to avoid a microsleep or an accident, we slept the way you taught us in this video and we made it to Medellin the next morning. Greetings and thanks for sharing this useful video! ;)
Wow, great story! A good adventure!
Why are you yelling?
Thank you... I am a full time Care Giver looking to leave where I am. I am in a Nissan Altima SL.. Going to live out of my car... "Car Camp for a few months!" I need to leave abuse and Find Truth, , and thank you. I bought a sleep gear, Jackery with Panels, Cooler and food. But thankfully, I work where there is showers and laundry.. Just for a few months to by a Home. Hurricane season is coming!!!
Don’t forget warmer days are coming. God Bless You
Best of luck to you…..❤
chicken feet make a tasty broth or stock, and have a good amount of collagen.
Yes, indeed, they made this soup broth delicious!
I remember this 🤢🤮😂
What a day that was! 🙂
Raging Cows? 😂😂😂
I heard that these ones have charged people so I was legitimately frightened when they were staring at me! 😜
She’s saying MUCHO (TRABAJO) which translates to “a lot of work” she never mentioned tabaco
Oh my! Thanks for commenting! I've got very limited Spanish and wasn't sure if she was mixing Spanish/English words... it makes a lot more sense now!
She’s saying MUCHO (TRABAJO) which translates to “a lot of work” she never mentioned tobacco 😭😭😭

They were so good!
Did everyone switch vehicle's going and coming?
Yes they had to because no vehicles could get through
@@APassportADollar cool
What the name of the restaurant I'm in minca right now
Lucky you! The menu del dia is called Street Food Minca, but there might not be a sign, and the evening pizza place is called El Nuevo Sabor. In this other video I actually stand on the street and show where on the entrances are ruclips.net/video/WdBENirpZWQ/видео.html If you go, tell them I sent you and say "Hello" from Sweller. If you show them the video they should remember me!
Bro this was a very enjoyable ! I really believe that if you did some hashtag research and reuploaded this you'd get a bigger audience. I searched up tres cruces and three crosses Cali because I'm going to be dropping a video from my adventure up there too shortly🫡 Check out my channel let's talk bro
I get sturdy aluminum foil taped on the windows or cover cardboard with it and put it in the windows. And they hvae mattresses made just for the back seats with something to at goes on the floor to even out the maton to e seat
I bet you enjoyed the visit to San Gil. I can see that's a beautiful town!
