My god, this is the best narrated vlog I have watched! Smooth voice, and lots of historical information. Thank you for sharing... 5 ⭐ And yes, I have subscribed!!
Omg...it made me so nostalgic. I lived in Tampa for 2 years. Used to go to the Columbia restaurant all the time - at the St. Pete Pier. That sangria is the best. I live that area and miss it a lot.
Getting ready to move from Tampa back to Pittsburgh and I never knew half of thia stuff about the place I have lived for the past 2 years!! Thanks To Traveling Robert! Sidenote: I have watched almost all of your videos and I randomly catch myself singing your "I'm riding, riding in my RV" theme song while I'm driving!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great Video, I was born and raised in Ybor, even went to school there, Its sad to look at it these days, in the 60's it was the place for all to gather, Both sets of my grandparents rolled cigars for a living in Ybor, until the "machines" game along and hand rolling was too slow, then Urban Renewal came by bought up houses just to tear them down, and we lost both houses where my grandparents lived. I have the pictures though to keep the memory alive. I still get a warm nostalgic feeling when ever i am in that area.
Very nice, just hearing your theme music makes me happy! :) Love the rear/tri cameras! :) Love this long version. You really have some singing range, man..Riding...awesome.
I recently found your channel and have been LOVING it! I like to support Florida RUclipsrs, and your content is top notch. And how excited I was to find that you were coming to the Bay area!!! :D I'm a lifelong Tampa resident (and native!) and thought it was great that you came over to Ybor City (my neighborhood!) and saw the sights. Sadly, some of the businesses have closed and the area has struggled a bit, but I am hopeful for a resurgence in the future! Ulele and the Waterworks Park are newer additions. Side note: The Ybor Chickens are protected and have free roam of the area. Right now, in the "quarantine" of 2020, the chickens are loving the reduced traffic and are running wild. I hope our locals treated you well, and I hope that you come back soon!
I am born and raised in the tampa bay area. I grew up going to all of these areas. They all have stories and sentimental values to me. It's so weird binge watching your videos and seeing you go to these places.
Hi Robert, I just discovered your travel RV videos and myself and family are instant fans! Your footage is smooth and covers lots of landscape, your voiceovers are informative, friendly, and witty, and your theme is just awesome. :-) Next time your in the Florida Sun Coast area, let me know if you plan a trip to Fort De Soto - which is a premier camping, beach State Park (just south of Tierra Verde, Fl). Meanwhile, keep on RVing and we'll be watching :-)
Thank you. I was hoping to get into Fort De Soto for this trip but it was booked solid. Maybe some time in the late summer of fall we'll try again. Thanks again.
Amazing the detail you include in your vides, Robert, from Pelican being fed by man a fish, to the pelican chewing the fish, to pelican burping and stretching afterwards!!😂🤣. And the look on your face drinking that beer! Priceless❤️. And yet you know exactly when to stay quiet. Thank you 👍 Actually it was not the same bird that belched😂🤣
Do you have a marketing background? Your presentation and research are always proffessionaly done. Great job! I sure don't mind the lenghts because they are so interesting and well done.
Great video Robert! The next time you’re in Tampa stop by a beautiful place called Lettuce lake. I was there many years ago and loved it. It’s awesome park that has some swamp, observation tower, gators, and more.
Wow, a great video! We are planning a trip to that area this winter. Watching your tour was very helpful. Thanks for the great detail and your work and effort to document your travels.
WOW! Robert, I lived in Florida for about 40 yrs but never traveled on the west coast-sure I knew the east coast and up and down the center of the state but not there...this is one of the times when I wish I could kick myself for never going up and down the west coast...thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure..hugs to you and Illy
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel .... love your t-shirt also, I live just north of Chattanooga and we love Rock City just to hang out and have drinks!! Your channel makes me happy, and I love your music!
Love the added cameras. You do such a great vlog Robert, such quality & I love all the information about what you are filming. Thank you for taking us along, its so enjoyable.
Oh I enjoyed watching this So much! Tampa bay is my home...I transplanted to Kentucky for my first grandchild...but I'm so homesick for Florida! I'm coming back soon! Really good photography and narration...thank you!
Thanks so much for posting this Robert! I moved to St. Pete on Christmas Day but don't have a car, you did an amazing job showing me around my new area!!!
hey robert , i love this area near Tampa , my brother use to live at indian rocks beach , near clearwater beach , i was there 3 times ,very tropical gorgeous area ,
the Pelicans are definitely the star of the show in this great episode:-) I like how the Pelican caught the fish with his mouth ate it and walked away with a very thankful heart. FLY pelican.lol,🙉
Me encantan tus vídeos, veo cosas que otros no me muestran, soy Venezolano y estos programas son la única oportunidad que tengo de conocer lugares ya que las cosas aquí están muy duras para viajar. Muchas Gracias.
Wow! I just discovered you, today! I LOVE this video! You are living a good life! We rented a Micro Mini last year and loved it. It was brand new and a very cool RED color. Thanks for being such a great tour guide and camera man!
My husband and I are from Miami. We are retiring in 3 years and have begun our search and research for an RV. We love your videos and that music of yours is just Awesome. You make us laugh so much, we truly enjoy all of your videos. We can’t wait to enjoy the rv’ing life. Best to you in all of your endeavors....Annie and Joe
I spent two hours everyday in that water for 5 days. Awesome Beach. We got close to a Pelican and he charged us. Seagulls were crazy there. Lots of memories. Sunset WOW and WOW !
love you Robert(o).....you make me happy in a way, maybe difficult to explain, just keep on going across the USA....I aint got no ARV but still......loving you and your loving Princess ....remember we are from Holland , Europe and love what you are doing❤.....love to try an IPA
We will be in Tampa for our first ever snowbird winter from Canada from October 2023 to end of March 2024. If they have an RV show in January, we will come over and check it out for sure and hope to meet you there! So many amazing spots you visited in that area! We are getting excited to come.down already!
Wow, I haven’t been to John’s Pass in about 20 years and it’s crazy how touristy it’s gotten! But then again, I’ve watched the same thing happen to Clearwater Beach
Every time I watch one of your Florida video's, it get's me more excited to know I get to go down there this summer! And now because of your video's I learned so much about FL. :)
I lived in Tampa for 4 years and moved to the midwest a few years ago. It's nice seeing the city again from your perspective. It's a fun town to visit but super expensive to actually live there in the city limits. Also as a kid I remember us driving over the old Skyway bridge a few weeks after that bad ship accident. It was beyond creepy seeing all the way down to the water where a driving lane should have been with temp guard rails.
Real_Sgt_Tom I remember exactly where I was the day that tragedy happened. I remember it was pouring rain so hard you could hardly see in front of you, I was in high school and driving to get to school that morning in Tampa
Your videos are so good. After I get my hip replaced, I'm getting an RV and do what I should have done when I was younger, but as I heard you say... "It's never too late".
Hi Robert, maybe I can offer a little insight on Ybor City. It has a busy nightlife. However, ladies don't usually go unaccompanied. Midnight is about cutoff time as it is surrounded by a high crime neighborhood. Which is probably why alot of businesses closed there. It's alot of fun going with a group for dinner and drinks. You might look up the crime there to get a better understanding. Love your videos 👍
I am new and catching up many your videos...i really like your style. I have been traveling many States and several Countries past 24 yrs and we been to a lot of same places, restaurants, parks, etc... Your videos take me back to sooo many memories and help me reminisce so much. You either do very good research BEFORE going to next place ...or...you are the luckiest man to accidentally keep finding so many good places, restaurants, and parks. Keep up the great work!
Thank you. Glad you like them. I love doing a lot of research beforehand. Sometimes it is recommendations from viewers and friends, and there's also a bit of luck sometimes, I stumble upon places sometimes.
I'm gonna have to go to video rehab. I say No no no. LOL and now I'm going around my house singing "I'm riding in my RV" song and the other part that's just instrumental. I'm an unrealized old lady drummer. I want to learn the drums one day. Old lady screech! "I'm freeeeeeee!" LOL I Love Florida winters. Jackets over shorts. LOL that cracks me up every time. Sea birds are the best I'm surprised they are not "voluminous." LOL
Nice video. I've been around this area on vacation a few times but haven't gone.to the Plant museum. I'll be sure to visit next.time and the u le le restaurant/brewery. That grouper looked scrumptious.
Ah, thank you for featuring my town(Tampa)! Great video footage of the entire Tampa Bay Area! Fun fact: the Columbia restaurant and Ulele restaurant are owned by the same family, the Gonzmarts! I love the Columbia restaurant!
Great video, as we are interested to move to Florida, and were thinking of selling our rv. You showed us that keeping it might be smarter. Looks like Florida is built with great places in existance. Thank you
Me and my dad used to bike to that koa all the time and stop at the little convenient store for ice cream. I worked at that oyster bar restaurant for about 2 weeks when I was 20 and then quit.
I know that area well.........West Coast has always been my fav of FLA. Love your narration.....shades of Antonio Banderas in your voice. BTW, I am sure you get cast for voice overs alot. Thanks for the videos.
#216 I wish I was there, Robert. I drove across the Tampa Bay Skyline Bridge 3 weeks before a ship struck the support tower. I was glad not to be on it, when it happen. Have a Montecristo on me!
Welcome to Tarpon Springs Robert. We live just down the road in New Port Richey. Nice to see you in our back yard.. Tarpon is nice, did you take a boat trip?
Hey Robert, first of all I am a professional musician and I believe you’re a fellow musician, right? I have played all over those towns in Florida although I work in Las Vegas. You mentioned the Bellagio hotel, I performed there full-time for 10 years. I thought well, I got to say something about that. I enjoy watching your videos while I’m working on music at home, keep up the great work😃
why do I find myself smiling throughout all of your videos, especially when GPS girl tells you where to go and you say "thank you!"
That just shows you that no matter what, he’s a thankful grateful person.
I used to live in that area..
It was so beautiful that even on my worst day I still couldn't believe how beautiful it was .
First left off the bridge and you have camping at Fort DeSoto Park. The most beautiful park in America.
Your videos are always great. I love your narration and music. Thanks for taking us along!
My god, this is the best narrated vlog I have watched! Smooth voice, and lots of historical information. Thank you for sharing... 5 ⭐

Thank you!
Omg...it made me so nostalgic. I lived in Tampa for 2 years. Used to go to the Columbia restaurant all the time - at the St. Pete Pier. That sangria is the best. I live that area and miss it a lot.
Curious where did you move too? And Tampa is my backyard, tropical paradise
Didn't you go to the Columbia in Ybor?
Getting ready to move from Tampa back to Pittsburgh and I never knew half of thia stuff about the place I have lived for the past 2 years!! Thanks To Traveling Robert! Sidenote: I have watched almost all of your videos and I randomly catch myself singing your "I'm riding, riding in my RV" theme song while I'm driving!! 🤣🤣🤣
How did the move go? I'm from Pittsburgh, too, but moving to Sarasota. Did you not like Tampa?

Not really. I studied TV production many years ago, and I just like doing it, making it interesting.
Great video Robert! The next time you’re in Tampa stop by a beautiful place called Lettuce lake. I was there many years ago and loved it. It’s awesome park that has some swamp, observation tower, gators, and more.
One of the more entertaining travel videos I have watched. Thank you for this.
You're very welcome
The beer looks good and the beach!
That is an amazing video. My family will be living in Tampa in a couple months. I hope you are staying safe during the virus. Happy travels Robert

Really good photography and narration...thank you!
You blew right through that stop sign! 24:50
Anybody who likes Dali should make the trip to the Dali Museum in Figueres; it's huge. Even more fun is visiting his and Gala's home in Portlligat.
That was a nice treat. I lived in Pinellas County, FL for 35 years for the beaches!!! I miss it. Thanks for taking me for a visit.
Curious where do you live now?

Very nostalgic, I grew up in St Pete in the 50s and 60s. Used to fish at John's Pass when there was not allot there. Good place to grow up.
The sunset scene at 49:00 is so pretty. The birds are a hoot. Great video! It's wonderful hearing you're belly laugh! :)

I love johns pass boardwalk. Fishing charers, beaches, rentals and shopping and reallyngreat restaurants
I don't know about the videos but I love that theme song.
Thank you for sharing your experiences in Tampa Bay, but I get dizzy and disoriented with pictures in the back.
Hi Robert, maybe I can offer a little insight on Ybor City. It has a busy nightlife. However, ladies don't usually go unaccompanied.

Silver Beats Gold I always prefer to go to Ybor during the day. Feels safer to me
Wonderful video Robert. Will be visiting Florida soon.

Thank you!
The camera capturing behind is fabulous
Thanks for telling us what it cost to stay at RV parks I find it interesting
Ah, thank you for featuring my town(Tampa)! Great video footage of the entire Tampa Bay Area! Fun fact: the Columbia restaurant and Ulele restaurant are owned by the same family, the Gonzmarts! I love the Columbia restaurant!
You definitely did lunch in Tarpon Springs right! One of two most authentic restaurants in town, Only thing I suggest is try the stuffed olive leaves!
Great video, as we are interested to move to Florida, and were thinking of selling our rv. You showed us that keeping it might be smarter. Looks like Florida is built with great places in existance. Thank you
i'm terrified of heights, so i will never go over that sunshine bridge lol, but the entire video was awesome!
Wonderful video. Busch Gardens is also in Tampa Bay too!
Great videos it’s so inspiring
I’m really enjoying your videos. Especially since we are not able to travel and do as much in these times.
Love the pics!!
Me and my dad used to bike to that koa all the time and stop at the little convenient store for ice cream. I worked at that oyster bar restaurant for about 2 weeks when I was 20 and then quit.
The Cuban Sandwich actually got started in Ybor City,Believe it or not!!
Great video and I love the music
Great video Robert, I done some running around in Tampa about 7 years ago and had a great time. thank you for your video. I am going to pm you.

First Class!
would love a long tour like this around Miami 😘
Maybe I'll do that soon
That cross walk was cool.
I am fascinated with your videos...!
Welcome to Tarpon Springs Robert. We live just down the road in New Port Richey. Nice to see you in our back yard.. Tarpon is nice, did you take a boat trip?
Hey Robert, first of all I am a professional musician and I believe you’re a fellow musician, right? I have played all over those towns in Florida although I work in Las Vegas. You mentioned the Bellagio hotel, I performed there full-time for 10 years. I thought well, I got to say something about that. I enjoy watching your videos while I’m working on music at home, keep up the great work😃
