  • We travelled overland on trains and buses from London to Istanbul in just 7 days.
    This is the first leg of our overland trip from London to Tbilisi, Georgia.
    Our journey included enjoying the beer halls of Munich; exploring the gorgeous streets of Salzburg; riding the giant ferris wheel in Vienna; relaxing in the baths of Budapest; admiring the churches of Belgrade; having a traditional meal in Sofia; and taking the Sofia express overnight train to Istanbul.

    Hey Karl! I'm usually a lurker that never comments, but I have been following your channel since 2019, when I was 16 years old and first getting ideas about long-term travel and solo backpacking. I'm now 21, and last year I did my first backpacking trip across Europe, visiting a lot of places you visited (Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Istanbul). Watching this felt like such a full circle moment. I've discovered so many amazing places through your videos - now I can watch you discover all of the incredible places I was lucky enough to see last year. Now, I can finally say I was re-living travel memories through your camera, rather than simply daydreaming. Thank you for this, what a wonderful way to spend an hour. Keep up the good work! Love from the USA!

      Pick it up again from Tbilisi, and head East towards China, overland of course.... The sleeper train from Tbilisi to Baku, then across the Caspian into Turkmenistan and beyond. A bit like the first series of Race Across the World.

      @@karlwatsondocs I agree with this fella’s comment. This is the first time I’ve stumbled across your channel and you 3 genuinely give out Clarkson, Hammond and May vibes (without the cantankerousness of Clarkson!) in terms of how well you all bounce off each other. No aspects of your video of conversations with each other feel contrived either, which is refreshing in comparison to many travel RUclipsrs out there. Really impressed and you have gained a new sub!
