Paul, my husband and I love watching your videos! Your family is beautiful! We are fellow Minnesotans too…my favorite travel memory has to be walking up from the tube in London. It was my dream to go there since I was a little girl. I will never ever forget it. ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
Love the imagery of walking out of a train station in a new city for the first time! So, that’s why I picked you as the winner!! I’ll send you a DM! Thank you to everyone who commented! I’ve loved seeing all the travel stories!!
My favorite memory in travel…My daughter and I would watch airplanes at MKE. She was 4 or 5 years old and could name all the airlines from her car seat! Today, 21 years later, she is an airline pilot. Her grade school teacher said, as she always looked out the school window, you’ll never get a job by looking out the window. Guess she was wrong. Congratulations on 100,000
Thank you to everyone who has commented and those who are still leaving comments. There have been a few scammers leaving comments saying that different people have won. Please don’t fall for that. I’ll send you a DM if you’ve won and pin a comment next week.
Totally agree with you Yea Chicago is closer to you. Everyone tells me why don't I fly to Chicago since I live in STL. And I tell them Chicago and be tricky if you flying Standby cause it is a major hub.
Nice to see a former ex-con being successful! My favorite travel story? I had many but I will say going my team to Boracay for a offside! It was awesome. Also, visiting Iceland was soooo cool!
In 1976, my Dad scraped together enough money to fly the family to California to visit our grandparents. That flight on a TWA 707 changed my life and I've been an aviation & travel junkie for (nearly) 50 years since. Related to that, I appreciate the way your channel celebrates the whole travel process; but, from an insiders perspective. Thank you!
This was a very heartwarming video, thank you! I am a military pilot and am considering a career in commercial airlines, so it is always good to see a pilot who is able to strike a good balance between family and work!
Paul I can’t tell you how much this touched my spirit. You’re one of the special ones and you’ll keep doing what you’re doing. Your spreading the love in a very cool one of a kind style. I wish I had you as a role model growing up 🙏🏻💜
Great videos and travelogues! This in particular reminds me of the late Neil Peart of RUSH, who wrote several books on his travels. Also nice to see a pro pilot unafraid to mention the line he flies for!
My favorite travel memory was flying into Vancouver from Michigan to go on a cruise to Alaska. I was not prepared for the extreme beauty of the West coast. I literally cried at the splendor of it all.
My favorite travel memory was at the age of 8, I embarked on an unforgettable journey that would ignite a lifelong passion for aviation. From SFO to HNL to GUM, and then on smaller planes to Saipan and Tinian, each step brought me closer to my destiny. Mid-flight, the pilot asked if I wanted to take the controls, and despite my mother's hesitation, I eagerly accepted. Guiding the aircraft, I felt an indescribable thrill that sparked my love for flying. Since then, I've become a private pilot, served in the Army as a Chinook helicopter pilot, and now fly for a regional airline, fueled by the dream of one day joining a major airline. That single moment changed my life forever, forever binding me to the sky.
So nice to see someone who wants to give their kids adventures and create memories they will cherish for the rest of their lives. I do as much as I can with my kids.
Our favorite travel memory is also the most recent. My wife and I just completed the Everest Base Camp trek. Taking our picture on the rock was so incredibly special. After losing 230 lbs six years ago, completing things like the ebc trek have bee. So wonderful.
I just wanted to tell you thank you for all the very moving,motivating and inspirational things that you said when ya'll were driving up to the Gemini Bridges.I loved how you walked your son through what he was feeling. This was just so... Very motivating & inspirational!Thank you!😊
My favourite flight memory is flying into Oslo Gardermoen in winter, the view as we started to come in to land was like something out of a fairy tail. My favourite memory of an activity when travelling was sailing along Loch Ness at midnight, lit by a full moon in a pair of canoes that we'd joined together and added a tarpaulin sail to, it was eerie and beautiful and a memory I'll never forget.
My favorite travel memory was when I was able to join my mom on her last flight before retirement. We went to Vancouver and I got to watch first hand her job, which in turn made me fall in love with aviation! Congrats on 100k subscribers! Keep the blue side up!
My favorite travel memory was flying in 2019 from CVG to JFK with United. It was my first time in a plane as an adult and it helped me fall in love with flying. I was pursuing a career as a clinical psychologist and that memory of flying and seeing the world from up there persuaded me to change my career to aviation after I graduated. I’m now in flight school and super close to getting my PPL! Aviation influencers like you helped me get the courage to change my career so thank you so much for showing the world how awesome aviation is. Congrats on 100K!
My favorite travel memory was when i flew allegant to mesa, AZ to see my dad in 2021. Ive always liked flying but havent had the chance to often enough. I picked the window seat and just watched out the window from takeoff to landing. Seeing the stars more clearly and passing objects like satellites on a night flight reminded me that it was only a 66 year gap from the first flight to the moon landing, and how lucky i was to be all the way up at cruising altitiude to see what i was looking at. Remembering that trip from 2 years ago has in part pushed my mind towards a career in flight, and finding your channel ultimately. Thanks for all the good content and congrats on the milestone!
Man you are such an inspiration. I work with kids coaching gymnastics and I specialize in early childhood development. It’s was so refreshing to see how you handled your son’s anxiety. I have so many parents that bend so fast at any discomfort. Im definitely going to be using the words you used to encourage.
Favorite Travel memory: going to Myanmar in 2020 and seeing the joy the people there have for life! Traveling down a river in a boat, eating great food, meeting beautiful people, and learning about another culture made the trip one of a lifetime!
Congratulations 🎉🍾 My favorite travel memory was when I went to Poland as a young boy and I saw my Great Grandmother,(It was the only time I saw her before she died 3 years later) I remembered her smile and I remembered how happy she made me. 😔 RIP
Favorite travel memory was my first flight in 1981 when I was 17. My filmmaking/photography Prof, four other students, and myself flew from CHA to LAX for a week. Not only was it my first flight but we spent the week hanging out with Robin Williams, Tanya Roberts, Jonathan Winters, Marc Singer, Pam Dawber, etc. on the sets of Beastmaster, Mork & Mindy, etc., attending a midnight screening of Das Boot at Mann's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd, ans several other adventures. It was life-changing. Have been watching your channel when you only had a few hundred subscribers. Congratulations on reaching 100,000, Paul!
My favorite travel memory was when I went to Europe for three weeks with my best friend. Visiting many cities like Rome, Zurich and Paris. Having those random genuine connections you make with others make traveling a whole lot more special. Being able to take mass transit everywhere and loving the contrast from American cities. And this trip gave me my first passport stamps. Congrats on 100k, loving your videos and next time i'm back in the twin cities I have to go visit that shop!
The last 10 minutes are the sweetest things I've seen online in a while! Love from India, cheers to millions more subscribers. My favorite travel memory isss...... Well it's funny. I was 8 YO. One of the earliest family trips I remember, our first time as a family in Europe. We were walking in the garden near the Eiffel Tower and I was too excited and walking far from my parents too often. In an attempt to teach me a lesson, they hid behind a wall and I remember freaking out for a few minutes feeling lost!
I’m a single dad of a soon-to-be-10 year old daughter. I’m a part-time maths teacher and, up until COVID was working part-time for an airline, so benefited from cheap travel. Several times a year, beginning when my daughter was about three years old, the two of us have been heading-off somewhere around Europe, and sometimes the US, to see the sights, have some fun, and ensure my daughter is being exposed to as much as possible. Every trip is wonderful and magical, and they continue to be this way even though I’m now paying full-fare as the non-rev travel days have ended! It’s the best of times, and long may it continue. Thanks for developing a great channel and filming inspiring videos, particularly those involving your family - which, for me, are just as interesting as the flying.
Theres only a few RUclipsrs I watch who actually make me wish I was a pilot and you're one of them. Every now and then I look into what it takes to become a pilot and given my current career, family, age etc I realise it's not achievable without major sacrifices to my family and thats something I'm not going to be comfortable with. If I could rewind the clock, flying would be near the very top, if not, the top. So, thank you for posting these videos and I look forward to what's to come on your channel. All the best!
Well behaved kids. That's a rarity this day and age. He sat there and didn't bother his dad. Well, his dad was answering questions from subscribers. He even asked if he could sit on his dad's lap because he knew that would interrupt the video. Cute kids
My favorite travel memory: We just returned from a trip to Germany. It was the first time my boys traveled on an airplane (that they could remember) and they were able to meet their great grandmother for the first time. Even with a language barrier, so much love was shared and it was beautiful to see them engage with each other. Flying is more than airplanes. It connects friends, people and strangers across the world.
Bro, I love the family time at the end! You have a 6 foot three 300 pound man almost in tears. Beautiful family. I’m so excited to start flight school next month and hopefully hang up the police uniform soon.
I just arrived home yesterday from my favorite travel memory. My husband and 4 year old daughter recently received their official Italian citizenship. To celebrate, we spent the month in Italy touring small cities which are significant to their family history. I love your channel. Congrats on 100k!
Congrats I am one of your subscribers and my favorite travel memorie is when I travel in plane from Tijuana to Mazatlán,Sinaloa and we went in car through all of Nayarit,Mexico we visited San Blas, Guayabitos and Punta Mita, and we stayed at the hotel and since it was an hour away we visited puerto Vallarta, Jalisco and honestly one of the best part was being with my family
While in college at Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX (1992-1996), the Tech Band “The Goin’ Band from Raider Land” was invited to march at the St Patrick’s Day parade in Dublin, Ireland. About 200 (of just over 400) of us were able to go. Most of us had never been out of Texas, much less the US. That trip was the best. We were there for 6 days in Ireland an 2 days in London on the way back. We toured all over Ireland. The Cliffs, Waterford, everywhere. We were warmly welcomed everywhere we went. And offered Guinness every, too. I tried, I tried hard but couldn’t drink it, but I’m not much of a drinker. During the parade, we were cheered on as if we were a local group. It was just amazing. We arrived late into London and those of us with tickets to Les Miserables were almost denied entry! But we got in and I’ve never seen anything like it. It was the 1st major musical I saw live. The next day I went alone on the Underground to meet some of my friends to see a musical called “The Buddy Holly” story. He was a singer/songwriter born in Lubbock. After the matinee, we spoke to some of the cast at the stage door because they had better accents than we did! We had some Lubbock trinkets to share with people we met and we gave that cast. I’m still good friends with a few people that were on that trip and it’s something I will always treasure. And of course my mom, she went with us. Without her I couldn’t have gone. Watching your videos reminded me again how much fun we had. Thank you for sharing.
Your family is so precious! Thanks for sharing your adventures with the world. My favorite travel memory was when I was about 7 and we drove to Pensacola, Florida from my hometown of New Orleans and I saw the beach for the first time. It was breathtaking!
My favorite travel memory would have to be from my time in the Army in Christmas 2017 deployed to Iraq. I know it’s not a “real” travel memory but Christmas Day, with all of my closest brothers, introducing and singing Christmas carols to all the locals, everyone making and giving “gifts” and talking to their families. Such a surreal experience that I’ll never be able to have again! Absolutely love the channel! I’m also in the aviation reason on the military contracting side and I love you, Mentour Pilot, and 74Gear… please don’t ever stop!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Your family is lovely and gracious to share their precious time with us. My favorite travel memory is the entirety of a 2 week trip to the UK. New Year's Eve in Edinburgh, Scotland; driving in Scotland and Ireland, visiting the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland; getting lost without a map in Northern Ireland; the castle at Kilkenny, and the Beauty of St Stephen's park in Dublin. I was trying to pick one experience from the trip, but each has a special place in my heart. I think part of what makes them special is the human element, the broken suitcase, renting wheelchairs due to a non-travel related injury, rolling with detours when the map has failed - and trusting you will get where you are supposed to be at some point, things like that. They make the experience unique.
I was searching Iceland when I came across your video and was hooked! I've been considering being a pilot and you definitely inapire me. I am a professional drone pilot and FA. Love your videos and your layover life!
My favourite travel memory was my second long haul flight experience on my honeymoon. We stopped off in dubai for a couple hours, on our way to the Maldives. It was timed perfectly. As we arrived into the Maldives we had the most perfect sunrise as we, for the first time, saw all the amazing islands on offer. It was perfect
Congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers! My favorite traveling memory is, I was flying for the first time ever 🛫 from Dayton OH to Raleigh NC to visit my partner. It was February 8th 2022 my 41st birthday. I was I was so terrified 😬and expressed that this was my first time flying to the pilot as I boarded. He joked that they only crash a few times a year. I responded with bulging eyes but he quickly made it clear that he was only joking 🙃 My neighbor on the flight was really nice and was understanding of my fear of flying. She reassured me that everything would be fine and she allowed me to hold her hand during take off. I mumbled screamed under my breath as I was taken away by the force of the take off. Once in the air I felt a little woozy from the turbulence but the views from the skies were worth it. Great videos, lovely family. Thanks for sharing your world. It’s so cool. I’m a aspiring pilot and am applying to get a scholarship through OBAP to help with the pay as I work as a RA to save. 😎✈️🌎
My favorite travel memory? So many since I grew up overseas. But one that stands out is flying Pan Am 747s in the 1970s from the US (HNL) to Australia (SYD) and stopping in Pago Pago to refuel…deplaning onto the tarmac where the locals were lined up selling puka shell necklaces and other trinkets. And, getting to go into the cockpit in flight was always fun!
Favorite travel memory: Just last year I decided to run a full marathon. I didn't pick just any marathon; I chose the Jungfrau marathon in Switzerland. I trained for months and months, and finally flew out to Switzerland (first time) in September. We spent a day in Zurich and then took a train to Interlaken. The country is insanely beautiful. The day before the race my wife and I paraglided over the town and it was spectacular. The next morning, I ran 26.2 miles through stunning villages, along a river, and up a mountain. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it might have been the best too. We went back to Switzerland again 3 months later because we loved it so much and my wife even wants to move there now. If you ever have the chance to travel...DO IT.
My favorite travel memory was two summers ago traveling to Bar Harbor, Maine & Acadia National Park with our 3 adult sons, 2 of their girlfriends and our dog. Acadia is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and nothing beats spending time with family. Thanks for your video's Paul!
My biggest fear in transitioning from a corporate office job to aviation is how my kids will handle me not being home every night. The family balance you show here and in some of your past videos resonates so much with how I hope we navigate this change. I can’t thank you enough for this content.
My favourite travel memory was just a few weeks ago. I went to Austria and it was the first time i travelled solo. I walked around Vienna and ventured the Alps and met with some lovely people. This is a big step out of my comfort zone as i'm quite introverted.
Favorite travel memory : this past February we went to Florence to visit our daughter who was studying abroad. The plane ride was smooth, flight was full but everybody was relaxed, the crew was efficient, the purser had the most soothing voice 😊 Florence was joyful, generous and so pretty. Best trip ever (on United actually)
Kauai. Best ever. Kids were young enough to enjoy the trip, we toured in a red jeep the whole island and saw everything. Experienced everything. And loved it so much! Your channel has encouraged our 18 year old daughter, Hope to be a pilot. She's in ATP now. So proud of her. And very thankful for your channel.
My favorite travel memory is flying for the first time in my adult life. I had a huge change of personality and mental health that culminated into a trip to a school in a little town outside of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. We worked with a school that taught impoverished children. It was the first time that I had traveled out of the United States and it’s lead me to where I am now, which is 10 hours into my private pilot’s license with plans to make it to an airline in the next few years. Thanks for the videos as always!
My favorite travel memory was driving the Million Dollar Road in Ouray Colorado and jeeping to Telluride for the first time. Later decided to move there and loved living in the mountains! Now back to Texas with lots of cool memories!
My favorite travel memory is an early one when I was young. On a family camping trip to Niagra Falls, we all went on the boats that ride under the falls. We had raincoats on and because I was so small and wearing a black raincoat, everyone thought I looked like a penguin. I've always remembered Niagra Falls as a really fun family trip. Paul - your videos are fun and very informative. I have a whole new appreciation for being a pilot.
Congratulations on 100 thousand subscribers, Paul. I have been watching your channel for so long and cannot express how proud I am to see you and your channel come this far. I have loved aviation since I can remember and I always look forward to traveling when I get the chance. In fact, I plan on becoming an airline pilot one day. My favorite travel memory occurred about 2 years ago when I was on vacation in California. My family and I had been at the beach for most of the day and when the sunset came, it looked as if the heavens had descended onto Earth. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life and splashing around in the water with my family while the reflection of the sunset shimmered onto the water just truly reminded me how short life is and that you need to spend as much of that time as possible around the ones that you love.
Not travel related but when you sat down with the 2 other pilots and just chatted about front office stuff like regionals, getting to work at United, layoffs etcl. It was great!
A 16 hour flight on Emirates from ORD-DBX, followed by a 7 hour flight from DBX-LUN the following day to meet my wife's parents, and introduce them to their grandchildren. A visit to Victoria Falls followed by a Safari in Chobe National Park with family was outstanding. Love your content, keep it coming.
My favorite travel memory is when I visited the UK and went to Wales. We did gorge walking in a river that went down a cliff and abseiled. We did paddle-boarding on a lake in a valley and two RAF Hawk T2s flew through the valley. We got to go on a roller coaster through a forest hill that you control yourself with two levers. It was great!
Congrats on 100k! My favorite travel memory is visiting Berlin and seeing the remnants of the Berlin Wall. The few parts that are left of it, (in some places) artists are allowed to paint on the wall and the symbolism of politics turning into a positive art outlet still touches me when I think about it. Love all of your vids and you inspire me to make time to travel!
Favorite travel memory...I flew for airline points for my uncle at age 16. CLT-ORD-DEN-LAX-CLT all in one long day. I loved the freedom and independance I felt. I realized how much I enjoyed flying almost as much as the destination.
My favoriate memory is I went back to Paris after 10 years and see how the city has evovled from infrustructure perspective and the culture perspective. I met so many good friends there.
My favorite travel memory was hiking with my family to our first 14er in Colorado, Grays Peak. When we finally got to the top we couldn't believe we had made it; it was a goal we'd had for many years, and we finally achieved it together. I had to smile when I watched you and Erin climb to Windsor Lake. I felt the exact same way climbing the 14er that your Erin did climbing to the lake. I appreciate you including those clips in the video; it will help a lot of people realize the difficulty of hiking to that altitude and being prepared for that experience.
I think my favorite travel memory was when my wife and I travelled with my parents to Scotland and England. Scotland always has that sweet smell of it rains and the scenery in the Scottish Highlands is incredible! We had a great time in London visiting the Zoo and even finding a tiny little restaurant called the Dockland's Diner, in the Dockland's area, that had an outstanding breakfast!
Favorite travel memory was definitely going to Madrid for the first time. The fact that there's so much delicious, affordable food and drink there makes it one of my favorite cities in the world. Also got to catch an atletico madrid game while I was there!
My favorite travel memory is doing hike near canyonlands. It was a hot day but once i got to the Vista, the temp dropped 20 degrees and i was the only one there. It was the most relaxing and peaceful I've felt
My favorite travel memory is when I went to live in the South of France (Montpellier) for five months while my parents were teaching there/on a sabbatical. It was amazing going on quick and beautiful train rides throughout France and Barcelona. It was somewhat hard to speak the language but I took 2 years of French before and during my time there in French public schools- with lots of vacations. We toured around Northern France such as Normandy, Lyon, and other places as well as Switzerland and Italy. I always write down the things that we did in a little travel journal the day of so that I can remember and cherish those family moments spent with family. I'm going again to Europe in a few days and can't wait to experience a new country on my bucket list!!
My husband became disabled overnight and we had to move back to the UK from Spain. Our friends gifted us a cruise to Hawaii cos they were so inspired by our story and my husband not being paralysed. We've always been adventurers so I managed to get him on a boat in Lahaina to go whale watching. My husband is amazing as he never gave up even when things looked as bad as they can get. Today he walked 50metres with Nordic walking poles. Now everyday is an adventure, not to give up and keep the challenges going. I love your videos and your optimism. That's what life is all about x
My best travel memory is when we took a seven day vacation and did seven hikes in seven different states in seven days. We did all of New England. It was amazing. Thank you for your videos. We enjoy each and every one of them.
Congrats on 100k! Your content helpedonfirm my wanting to be a Pilot. I'm I'maplanning starting the United Airlines flight school in January and cant wait. My favorite travel memory was when my family flew to floFloridad visited the amusment parks and went exploring. It was my first time flying in a plane and i hId immediatley fell in love with being in the air.
This is HANDS DOWN my favorite video of yours!! The whole car on the tracks thing had me giggling along with you! lol Favorite travel memory: I was about 8 yrs old when I went on my first airplane ride. My mom "made" me wear a navy blue dress and we flew from Houston to San Francisco on Continental Airlines. I still remember the feeling of being thrust back into my seat as the process of takeoff began. I didn't know quite what to think at the moment but it is THAT moment that sticks with me and why the whole physics of flight still baffles me. I am an avid plane spotter to this day and at age 51, I still long to become a pilot for a major airline.
I'm 22 and this is my favorite travel memory yet. This summer I traveled across the globe from India to Canada in order to do my fight training. I carefully planned my journey to fly in the 787, the a380 and the 777. I loved every bit of the journey and love the training that I am on right now!
My favorite travel memory was when my grandpa and grandma took my brother and I (this was 43 years ago) to Colorado in their pickup and they had a pickup camper on the back. We had so much fun traveling for 2 weeks, fishing for trout, stopping and seeing relatives, getting to experience things that I had not had the chance to experience, even though my family usually went on vacations every year. It just was a fantastic trip and even thought my grandparents aren’t alive anymore, I’ll never forget those 2 weeks we got to spend with them. BTW, I loved your video.
My mom and I traveled to Venice, Italy a few years ago and enjoyed peach bellinis in St. Mark's Square. She and my grandmother took the same trip thirty years prior and did the same thing. It was special to recreate that experience. Congratulations on achieving 100K subscribers. Wonderful video as always!
Congrats!!!! Favorite memory is spending 6 months in Spain exploring the entire country. Arriving to Madrid and using rain and car rentals to go around the country.
my happiest memories are from a few spots that have quite a few people at once, with just the right mood. It's more about the people, for me. I like pedestrian places, where you mostly see people going on foot and you don't hear the sound of engines. So a few places check these boxes. My favorite is Venice, in shoulder season and avoiding the most busy parts.
In the mid 80’s I traveled to Southern California. I was staying in North Hollywood. Woke up very early on a Sunday morning and ventured out to the Hollywood Bowl, much to my surprise I was able to literally walk in to the venue and walk right up on stage. I belted out the first verse of Here Comes the Sun, It was a total out of body experience, goosebumps overtook my body, I could feel the energy of the facility racing through me !!!! I’ve never felt this type of rush since. Congratulations on 100,000 🤙
my favorite travel memory was when I went to Washinton DC in 8th grade for a school trip. We got to do so many things such as go into the white house, visit our state senators in their offices, and go on the capitol building subway. It's a place unlike anywhere else in the country and we actually got back home less than a week before covid started shutting everything down.
Paul thanks a lot for sharing your Layover life! Enjoyed every single video a lot. My favourite memory was a hotel stay for work in Frankfurt Germany when my wife called me in the middle of the night that our first born son is on the way to get his first glimpse of the world. I could make it on time back home to the hospital and a wink later our son was born. Will never forget that :). Greetings from Austria!
Love the channel and just the overall vibrancy that’s associated with your videos. It’s such a treat to watch someone living out my dream of being a pilot. Keep up the fantastic work! 1M, HERE WE COME!!
My favorite travel memory was when I was 7 years old and my family drove from Mississippi to California to see family there. We were in a Ford Courier pick -up with a camper shell on it. We took 5 days to get there because we were site seeing on the way and we stayed at KOA or similar campgrounds. At night we put the luggage in the cab of the pick-up, I along with my sister slept on slats my dad designed across the with of the camper shell and my mom and dad slept below us in the bed of the truck. It was for a 7 year old a great adventure and something I will never forget.
Congrats on 100K, well deserved. My favorite travel memory is from several years ago when I had saved enough money to go on my first international trip to London & Scotland. As a kid we were too poor to go anywhere so that trip was huge to me. Now I’m looking forward to Germany next year.
Favourite travel memory - I travelled solo around America for 3 months in 2003. I traveled by bus from the east coast to the west coast. I saw so many amazing things and met so many, kind, welcoming and thoughtful Americans. They were a credit to your nation. Ps I’m from the U.K.
My favorite memory was when I first flew in a plane going to florida to go to Disney world. I got the window seat and from then on I was hooked on flying. Hopping I can fly airliners like you.
Best Travel memory was last year when i climbed Pico Mountain in the Azores Islands in Portugal, spent the night in the crater and witness the most amazing sunrise of my life. Congrats on your 100k.
My favourite travel memory was swimming with dolphins in The Bahamas whilst on a work trip there. It was on my bucket list & i didnt know how i would be ever able to do that. I never stopped smiling for a week at least. Such powerful, majestic & intelligent creatures.. but so gentle. A highlight of a lifetime for sure!!
My favorite travel memory was on a small plane in Africa, pilot realized I was somewhat understanding the information on the screens and started pointing out traffic within sight, etc. Really fun as a young kid with a pilot dream
My favorite travel memory is probably being with my husband and two kids in Puerto Rico in 2014 at 10pm one night after we had kayaked to see the bioluminescent bay and when we got out of the kayaks, lots of vendors were selling treats. We bought four shish kebabs and sat and ate them watching the life around us. We were all just happy and in awe of our great fortune to be where we were and to be there together.
My favorite travel memory. Booked an airbnb in Bangkok and as soon as we land, realize googlemaps doesn't work. Took a taxi to the area of the airbnb, was a bit nervous being in a different country but thankfully the host sent directions with pictures of major landmarks. To our surprise we were able find the house without GPS. Talk about adventure.
Favorite travel memory: flying in first class for the first time. The difference the way the staff treats you. It’s amazing. I wish the flight was longer than 5 hours.
Welcome to Denver! Lived here from MI for 30 years now and love our trips to Moab❤. We took our girls to Corona when they were about the same age and it was amazing! My daughter did handstands under the arch and I still have the pics! Thanks for your interesting travel insights.
Slowly working my way through your videos! Enjoying them all! Travel is the best thing any of us can do. It gives us an appreciation for things larger than us! Before I was married and had kids, my best friend and I traveled to all 50 states on our motorcycles (well he lived in Hawaii for a while so we technically didn't ride TO Hawaii, but you get it) and half of Canada. Love Moab too! My wife is Portuguese and some of her family still lives in Portugal so we are slowly expanding our travels in Europe! We have a great pasteis de nata recipe if you want it too!
congrats on 100k! my fav travel memory was when I did my first solo flight last year after just turning 18. aviation is my passion and your channel motivates me to keep working hard to reach the big airlines.
Congrats on the 100k subscribers! My favorite is from this summer when we spent 2 weeks traveling in Europe. We saw so many beautiful and impactful places that we are having trouble processing and sharing them with others. So many amazing places yet to be explored.
Paul, that shot on the ledge was breathtaking and terrifying!!! That fo sure deserve a thumbs up. Great video mien, you have a lovely family and great words of inspiration and guidance. May God continue to bless you guys!! Darrel from Beautiful Belize 🇧🇿
My favourite travel memory was when I was 5. I was travelling from Bangkok to Phuket, Thailand and I was really excited as it was my first time flying onboard a 747. I was looking around the plane excited and everything that eventually the crew came to me and offered to give me a tour of the complete aircraft. This includes the galley, crew rest and even the cockpit! Definitely my best memory and something I will never forget!
My favorite memory was traveling from IAD TO Syd as a teenager. My dad was relocated there for work and we flew on a united 747-400. The pilots were super awesome and i even got some flight deck time! Memories for a lifetime
Congrats on hitting 100K. Your content is so cool. Not many airline pilots can show both work and off work time. Great video, I love seeing southern Utah.
My favorite travel memory. Living in China for a year. So much to say and did so much. Encountered the best people and shared that experience with my partner. Even to this day after 10 years from that time I smile thinking of that time. Many a day do I miss something about China. That was my fondest travel memory and also the most pivotal time in my life. I'm a pilot in training changing my career at 50 to fly, will be continuing my training in MN end of summer. Currently in PACNW finishing my PPL. Good to be going back home. That's a future travel memory 😉 congrats! Well deserved and may there be many more milestones for this great channel.
My favorite travel memory is going to see my Grandparents in Hawaii. He has Parkinson’s disease so it’s nice being able to see him when we can! I used to play golf with him as a kid all the time, and my favorite travel memory lies there. Congrats on 100k! You deserve it and I love watching your videos.
Congrats on 100k subscribers. My favorite travel memory is when my then 79 year old grandma stepped on an airplane for the very first time to attend our wedding in Arizona visiting from Germany.
Congrats on reaching 100k subscribers. My favorite travel memory is really a collection of memories of various trips when I was a kid. Something almost always went wrong, like the time we were in the Great Smokies in a thunderstorm in our popup camper, which started leaking all over the place. But my parents always made the best of it, so we were wet but having fun. Also, the trips with my kids when they got to experience new things, it's always great to see the wonder in their eyes.
Paul, my husband and I love watching your videos! Your family is beautiful! We are fellow Minnesotans too…my favorite travel memory has to be walking up from the tube in London. It was my dream to go there since I was a little girl. I will never ever forget it. ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
Love the imagery of walking out of a train station in a new city for the first time! So, that’s why I picked you as the winner!! I’ll send you a DM! Thank you to everyone who commented! I’ve loved seeing all the travel stories!!
@@mylayoverlife oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I never win anything! You just made my day!
@@larisajackson5898 Can you send me a message on Instagram and we’ll coordinate getting you your package!?
Wow… Thanks for the memory I had forgotten. Seeing that really long escalator was certainly impressive
Wait but isn’t that your wife?
"I didn't bend any metal." Love that. A way to say the thing without saying the thing.
My favorite memory in travel…My daughter and I would watch airplanes at MKE. She was 4 or 5 years old and could name all the airlines from her car seat! Today, 21 years later, she is an airline pilot. Her grade school teacher said, as she always looked out the school window, you’ll never get a job by looking out the window. Guess she was wrong. Congratulations on 100,000
Thank you to everyone who has commented and those who are still leaving comments. There have been a few scammers leaving comments saying that different people have won. Please don’t fall for that. I’ll send you a DM if you’ve won and pin a comment next week.
Yes, I got one but didn't fall for it. I appreciate the heads-up
I got one as well... thanks!
Totally agree with you Yea Chicago is closer to you. Everyone tells me why don't I fly to Chicago since I live in STL. And I tell them Chicago and be tricky if you flying Standby cause it is a major hub.
Thanks. I received one of those messages, I thought it looked fishy (no pun intended). :)
Nice to see a former ex-con being successful! My favorite travel story? I had many but I will say going my team to Boracay for a offside! It was awesome. Also, visiting Iceland was soooo cool!
In 1976, my Dad scraped together enough money to fly the family to California to visit our grandparents. That flight on a TWA 707 changed my life and I've been an aviation & travel junkie for (nearly) 50 years since. Related to that, I appreciate the way your channel celebrates the whole travel process; but, from an insiders perspective. Thank you!
You’re so much more than an airline pilot. You’re such a wholesome dad. Well done man.
This was a very heartwarming video, thank you! I am a military pilot and am considering a career in commercial airlines, so it is always good to see a pilot who is able to strike a good balance between family and work!
Heartwarming. I had the same feeling.
Paul I can’t tell you how much this touched my spirit. You’re one of the special ones and you’ll keep doing what you’re doing. Your spreading the love in a very cool one of a kind style. I wish I had you as a role model growing up 🙏🏻💜
Wow, thank you.
Great videos and travelogues! This in particular reminds me of the late Neil Peart of RUSH, who wrote several books on his travels. Also nice to see a pro pilot unafraid to mention the line he flies for!
My favorite travel memory was flying into Vancouver from Michigan to go on a cruise to Alaska. I was not prepared for the extreme beauty of the West coast. I literally cried at the splendor of it all.
My favorite travel memory was at the age of 8, I embarked on an unforgettable journey that would ignite a lifelong passion for aviation. From SFO to HNL to GUM, and then on smaller planes to Saipan and Tinian, each step brought me closer to my destiny. Mid-flight, the pilot asked if I wanted to take the controls, and despite my mother's hesitation, I eagerly accepted. Guiding the aircraft, I felt an indescribable thrill that sparked my love for flying. Since then, I've become a private pilot, served in the Army as a Chinook helicopter pilot, and now fly for a regional airline, fueled by the dream of one day joining a major airline. That single moment changed my life forever, forever binding me to the sky.
reminds me of a time when a pilot let his son take control of the plane and killed every soul on board. How dumb of the pilot to let you do that tbh

So nice to see someone who wants to give their kids adventures and create memories they will cherish for the rest of their lives. I do as much as I can with my kids.
Our favorite travel memory is also the most recent. My wife and I just completed the Everest Base Camp trek. Taking our picture on the rock was so incredibly special. After losing 230 lbs six years ago, completing things like the ebc trek have bee. So wonderful.
I just wanted to tell you thank you for all the very moving,motivating and inspirational things that you said when ya'll were driving up to the Gemini Bridges.I loved how you walked your son through what he was feeling. This was just so...
Very motivating & inspirational!Thank you!😊
I appreciate that so much. Thank you.
My favourite flight memory is flying into Oslo Gardermoen in winter, the view as we started to come in to land was like something out of a fairy tail.
My favourite memory of an activity when travelling was sailing along Loch Ness at midnight, lit by a full moon in a pair of canoes that we'd joined together and added a tarpaulin sail to, it was eerie and beautiful and a memory I'll never forget.
My favorite travel memory was when I was able to join my mom on her last flight before retirement. We went to Vancouver and I got to watch first hand her job, which in turn made me fall in love with aviation! Congrats on 100k subscribers! Keep the blue side up!
My favorite travel memory was flying in 2019 from CVG to JFK with United. It was my first time in a plane as an adult and it helped me fall in love with flying. I was pursuing a career as a clinical psychologist and that memory of flying and seeing the world from up there persuaded me to change my career to aviation after I graduated. I’m now in flight school and super close to getting my PPL! Aviation influencers like you helped me get the courage to change my career so thank you so much for showing the world how awesome aviation is. Congrats on 100K!
My favorite travel memory was when i flew allegant to mesa, AZ to see my dad in 2021. Ive always liked flying but havent had the chance to often enough. I picked the window seat and just watched out the window from takeoff to landing. Seeing the stars more clearly and passing objects like satellites on a night flight reminded me that it was only a 66 year gap from the first flight to the moon landing, and how lucky i was to be all the way up at cruising altitiude to see what i was looking at. Remembering that trip from 2 years ago has in part pushed my mind towards a career in flight, and finding your channel ultimately. Thanks for all the good content and congrats on the milestone!
Congratulations on 100K! You totally deserve it and you're a great inspiration to aspiring pilots like myself!
Man you are such an inspiration. I work with kids coaching gymnastics and I specialize in early childhood development.
It’s was so refreshing to see how you handled your son’s anxiety.
I have so many parents that bend so fast at any discomfort.
Im definitely going to be using the words you used to encourage.
Favorite Travel memory: going to Myanmar in 2020 and seeing the joy the people there have for life! Traveling down a river in a boat, eating great food, meeting beautiful people, and learning about another culture made the trip one of a lifetime!
Congratulations 🎉🍾
My favorite travel memory was when I went to Poland as a young boy and I saw my Great Grandmother,(It was the only time I saw her before she died 3 years later) I remembered her smile and I remembered how happy she made me. 😔 RIP
Favorite travel memory was my first flight in 1981 when I was 17. My filmmaking/photography Prof, four other students, and myself flew from CHA to LAX for a week. Not only was it my first flight but we spent the week hanging out with Robin Williams, Tanya Roberts, Jonathan Winters, Marc Singer, Pam Dawber, etc. on the sets of Beastmaster, Mork & Mindy, etc., attending a midnight screening of Das Boot at Mann's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd, ans several other adventures. It was life-changing. Have been watching your channel when you only had a few hundred subscribers. Congratulations on reaching 100,000, Paul!
My favorite travel memory was when I went to Europe for three weeks with my best friend. Visiting many cities like Rome, Zurich and Paris. Having those random genuine connections you make with others make traveling a whole lot more special. Being able to take mass transit everywhere and loving the contrast from American cities. And this trip gave me my first passport stamps. Congrats on 100k, loving your videos and next time i'm back in the twin cities I have to go visit that shop!
The last 10 minutes are the sweetest things I've seen online in a while!
Love from India, cheers to millions more subscribers.
My favorite travel memory isss...... Well it's funny.
I was 8 YO. One of the earliest family trips I remember, our first time as a family in Europe. We were walking in the garden near the Eiffel Tower and I was too excited and walking far from my parents too often. In an attempt to teach me a lesson, they hid behind a wall and I remember freaking out for a few minutes feeling lost!
I’m a single dad of a soon-to-be-10 year old daughter. I’m a part-time maths teacher and, up until COVID was working part-time for an airline, so benefited from cheap travel. Several times a year, beginning when my daughter was about three years old, the two of us have been heading-off somewhere around Europe, and sometimes the US, to see the sights, have some fun, and ensure my daughter is being exposed to as much as possible. Every trip is wonderful and magical, and they continue to be this way even though I’m now paying full-fare as the non-rev travel days have ended! It’s the best of times, and long may it continue.
Thanks for developing a great channel and filming inspiring videos, particularly those involving your family - which, for me, are just as interesting as the flying.
Theres only a few RUclipsrs I watch who actually make me wish I was a pilot and you're one of them. Every now and then I look into what it takes to become a pilot and given my current career, family, age etc I realise it's not achievable without major sacrifices to my family and thats something I'm not going to be comfortable with. If I could rewind the clock, flying would be near the very top, if not, the top. So, thank you for posting these videos and I look forward to what's to come on your channel. All the best!
Well behaved kids. That's a rarity this day and age. He sat there and didn't bother his dad. Well, his dad was answering questions from subscribers. He even asked if he could sit on his dad's lap because he knew that would interrupt the video. Cute kids
My favorite travel memory: We just returned from a trip to Germany. It was the first time my boys traveled on an airplane (that they could remember) and they were able to meet their great grandmother for the first time. Even with a language barrier, so much love was shared and it was beautiful to see them engage with each other. Flying is more than airplanes. It connects friends, people and strangers across the world.
Bro, I love the family time at the end! You have a 6 foot three 300 pound man almost in tears. Beautiful family. I’m so excited to start flight school next month and hopefully hang up the police uniform soon.
I just arrived home yesterday from my favorite travel memory. My husband and 4 year old daughter recently received their official Italian citizenship. To celebrate, we spent the month in Italy touring small cities which are significant to their family history. I love your channel. Congrats on 100k!
Congrats I am one of your subscribers and my favorite travel memorie is when I travel in plane from Tijuana to Mazatlán,Sinaloa and we went in car through all of Nayarit,Mexico we visited San Blas, Guayabitos and Punta Mita, and we stayed at the hotel and since it was an hour away we visited puerto Vallarta, Jalisco and honestly one of the best part was being with my family
Hi
What do I do
While in college at Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX (1992-1996), the Tech Band “The Goin’ Band from Raider Land” was invited to march at the St Patrick’s Day parade in Dublin, Ireland. About 200 (of just over 400) of us were able to go. Most of us had never been out of Texas, much less the US. That trip was the best. We were there for 6 days in Ireland an 2 days in London on the way back. We toured all over Ireland. The Cliffs, Waterford, everywhere. We were warmly welcomed everywhere we went. And offered Guinness every, too. I tried, I tried hard but couldn’t drink it, but I’m not much of a drinker.
During the parade, we were cheered on as if we were a local group. It was just amazing.
We arrived late into London and those of us with tickets to Les Miserables were almost denied entry! But we got in and I’ve never seen anything like it. It was the 1st major musical I saw live.
The next day I went alone on the Underground to meet some of my friends to see a musical called “The Buddy Holly” story. He was a singer/songwriter born in Lubbock. After the matinee, we spoke to some of the cast at the stage door because they had better accents than we did! We had some Lubbock trinkets to share with people we met and we gave that cast.
I’m still good friends with a few people that were on that trip and it’s something I will always treasure. And of course my mom, she went with us. Without her I couldn’t have gone. Watching your videos reminded me again how much fun we had. Thank you for sharing.
Your family is so precious! Thanks for sharing your adventures with the world. My favorite travel memory was when I was about 7 and we drove to Pensacola, Florida from my hometown of New Orleans and I saw the beach for the first time. It was breathtaking!
My favorite travel memory would have to be from my time in the Army in Christmas 2017 deployed to Iraq. I know it’s not a “real” travel memory but Christmas Day, with all of my closest brothers, introducing and singing Christmas carols to all the locals, everyone making and giving “gifts” and talking to their families. Such a surreal experience that I’ll never be able to have again! Absolutely love the channel! I’m also in the aviation reason on the military contracting side and I love you, Mentour Pilot, and 74Gear… please don’t ever stop!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Your family is lovely and gracious to share their precious time with us.
My favorite travel memory is the entirety of a 2 week trip to the UK. New Year's Eve in Edinburgh, Scotland; driving in Scotland and Ireland, visiting the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland; getting lost without a map in Northern Ireland; the castle at Kilkenny, and the Beauty of St Stephen's park in Dublin.
I was trying to pick one experience from the trip, but each has a special place in my heart.
I think part of what makes them special is the human element, the broken suitcase, renting wheelchairs due to a non-travel related injury, rolling with detours when the map has failed - and trusting you will get where you are supposed to be at some point, things like that. They make the experience unique.
I was searching Iceland when I came across your video and was hooked! I've been considering being a pilot and you definitely inapire me. I am a professional drone pilot and FA. Love your videos and your layover life!
My favourite travel memory was my second long haul flight experience on my honeymoon. We stopped off in dubai for a couple hours, on our way to the Maldives. It was timed perfectly. As we arrived into the Maldives we had the most perfect sunrise as we, for the first time, saw all the amazing islands on offer. It was perfect
Congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers! My favorite traveling memory is, I was flying for the first time ever 🛫 from Dayton OH to Raleigh NC to visit my partner. It was February 8th 2022 my 41st birthday. I was I was so terrified 😬and expressed that this was my first time flying to the pilot as I boarded. He joked that they only crash a few times a year. I responded with bulging eyes but he quickly made it clear that he was only joking 🙃 My neighbor on the flight was really nice and was understanding of my fear of flying. She reassured me that everything would be fine and she allowed me to hold her hand during take off. I mumbled screamed under my breath as I was taken away by the force of the take off. Once in the air I felt a little woozy from the turbulence but the views from the skies were worth it. Great videos, lovely family. Thanks for sharing your world. It’s so cool. I’m a aspiring pilot and am applying to get a scholarship through OBAP to help with the pay as I work as a RA to save. 😎✈️🌎
My favorite travel memory? So many since I grew up overseas. But one that stands out is flying Pan Am 747s in the 1970s from the US (HNL) to Australia (SYD) and stopping in Pago Pago to refuel…deplaning onto the tarmac where the locals were lined up selling puka shell necklaces and other trinkets. And, getting to go into the cockpit in flight was always fun!
Favorite travel memory: Just last year I decided to run a full marathon. I didn't pick just any marathon; I chose the Jungfrau marathon in Switzerland. I trained for months and months, and finally flew out to Switzerland (first time) in September. We spent a day in Zurich and then took a train to Interlaken. The country is insanely beautiful. The day before the race my wife and I paraglided over the town and it was spectacular. The next morning, I ran 26.2 miles through stunning villages, along a river, and up a mountain. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it might have been the best too. We went back to Switzerland again 3 months later because we loved it so much and my wife even wants to move there now. If you ever have the chance to travel...DO IT.
Great to see you sharing your travels with your family. You guys really seem to have a good time together.
My favorite travel memory was two summers ago traveling to Bar Harbor, Maine & Acadia National Park with our 3 adult sons, 2 of their girlfriends and our dog. Acadia is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and nothing beats spending time with family. Thanks for your video's Paul!
My biggest fear in transitioning from a corporate office job to aviation is how my kids will handle me not being home every night. The family balance you show here and in some of your past videos resonates so much with how I hope we navigate this change. I can’t thank you enough for this content.
That’s my biggest fear too. That and paying for flight training lol
My favourite travel memory was just a few weeks ago. I went to Austria and it was the first time i travelled solo. I walked around Vienna and ventured the Alps and met with some lovely people. This is a big step out of my comfort zone as i'm quite introverted.
Favorite travel memory : this past February we went to Florence to visit our daughter who was studying abroad. The plane ride was smooth, flight was full but everybody was relaxed, the crew was efficient, the purser had the most soothing voice 😊 Florence was joyful, generous and so pretty. Best trip ever (on United actually)
Kauai. Best ever. Kids were young enough to enjoy the trip, we toured in a red jeep the whole island and saw everything. Experienced everything. And loved it so much!
Your channel has encouraged our 18 year old daughter, Hope to be a pilot. She's in ATP now.
So proud of her. And very thankful for your channel.
My favorite travel memory is flying for the first time in my adult life. I had a huge change of personality and mental health that culminated into a trip to a school in a little town outside of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. We worked with a school that taught impoverished children. It was the first time that I had traveled out of the United States and it’s lead me to where I am now, which is 10 hours into my private pilot’s license with plans to make it to an airline in the next few years. Thanks for the videos as always!
My favorite travel memory was driving the Million Dollar Road in Ouray Colorado and jeeping to Telluride for the first time. Later decided to move there and loved living in the mountains! Now back to Texas with lots of cool memories!
My favorite travel memory is an early one when I was young. On a family camping trip to Niagra Falls, we all went on the boats that ride under the falls. We had raincoats on and because I was so small and wearing a black raincoat, everyone thought I looked like a penguin. I've always remembered Niagra Falls as a really fun family trip. Paul - your videos are fun and very informative. I have a whole new appreciation for being a pilot.
Congratulations on 100 thousand subscribers, Paul. I have been watching your channel for so long and cannot express how proud I am to see you and your channel come this far. I have loved aviation since I can remember and I always look forward to traveling when I get the chance. In fact, I plan on becoming an airline pilot one day. My favorite travel memory occurred about 2 years ago when I was on vacation in California. My family and I had been at the beach for most of the day and when the sunset came, it looked as if the heavens had descended onto Earth. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life and splashing around in the water with my family while the reflection of the sunset shimmered onto the water just truly reminded me how short life is and that you need to spend as much of that time as possible around the ones that you love.
Not travel related but when you sat down with the 2 other pilots and just chatted about front office stuff like regionals, getting to work at United, layoffs etcl. It was great!
A 16 hour flight on Emirates from ORD-DBX, followed by a 7 hour flight from DBX-LUN the following day to meet my wife's parents, and introduce them to their grandchildren. A visit to Victoria Falls followed by a Safari in Chobe National Park with family was outstanding. Love your content, keep it coming.
My favorite travel memory is when I visited the UK and went to Wales. We did gorge walking in a river that went down a cliff and abseiled. We did paddle-boarding on a lake in a valley and two RAF Hawk T2s flew through the valley. We got to go on a roller coaster through a forest hill that you control yourself with two levers. It was great!
Paul, this is such heartfelt vid! May God Bless you and your amazing family!!
This content is just beyond incredible. The drone footage & editing are just next level and so enjoyable to watch! So glad to have found your channel.
Congrats on 100k! My favorite travel memory is visiting Berlin and seeing the remnants of the Berlin Wall. The few parts that are left of it, (in some places) artists are allowed to paint on the wall and the symbolism of politics turning into a positive art outlet still touches me when I think about it. Love all of your vids and you inspire me to make time to travel!
Favorite travel memory...I flew for airline points for my uncle at age 16. CLT-ORD-DEN-LAX-CLT all in one long day. I loved the freedom and independance I felt. I realized how much I enjoyed flying almost as much as the destination.
My favoriate memory is I went back to Paris after 10 years and see how the city has evovled from infrustructure perspective and the culture perspective. I met so many good friends there.
My favorite travel memory was hiking with my family to our first 14er in Colorado, Grays Peak. When we finally got to the top we couldn't believe we had made it; it was a goal we'd had for many years, and we finally achieved it together. I had to smile when I watched you and Erin climb to Windsor Lake. I felt the exact same way climbing the 14er that your Erin did climbing to the lake. I appreciate you including those clips in the video; it will help a lot of people realize the difficulty of hiking to that altitude and being prepared for that experience.
I think my favorite travel memory was when my wife and I travelled with my parents to Scotland and England. Scotland always has that sweet smell of it rains and the scenery in the Scottish Highlands is incredible! We had a great time in London visiting the Zoo and even finding a tiny little restaurant called the Dockland's Diner, in the Dockland's area, that had an outstanding breakfast!
Favorite travel memory was definitely going to Madrid for the first time. The fact that there's so much delicious, affordable food and drink there makes it one of my favorite cities in the world. Also got to catch an atletico madrid game while I was there!
My favorite travel memory is doing hike near canyonlands. It was a hot day but once i got to the Vista, the temp dropped 20 degrees and i was the only one there. It was the most relaxing and peaceful I've felt
My favorite travel memory is when I went to live in the South of France (Montpellier) for five months while my parents were teaching there/on a sabbatical. It was amazing going on quick and beautiful train rides throughout France and Barcelona. It was somewhat hard to speak the language but I took 2 years of French before and during my time there in French public schools- with lots of vacations. We toured around Northern France such as Normandy, Lyon, and other places as well as Switzerland and Italy. I always write down the things that we did in a little travel journal the day of so that I can remember and cherish those family moments spent with family. I'm going again to Europe in a few days and can't wait to experience a new country on my bucket list!!
My husband became disabled overnight and we had to move back to the UK from Spain. Our friends gifted us a cruise to Hawaii cos they were so inspired by our story and my husband not being paralysed. We've always been adventurers so I managed to get him on a boat in Lahaina to go whale watching. My husband is amazing as he never gave up even when things looked as bad as they can get. Today he walked 50metres with Nordic walking poles. Now everyday is an adventure, not to give up and keep the challenges going. I love your videos and your optimism. That's what life is all about x
My best travel memory is when we took a seven day vacation and did seven hikes in seven different states in seven days. We did all of New England. It was amazing. Thank you for your videos. We enjoy each and every one of them.
Congrats on 100k! Your content helpedonfirm my wanting to be a Pilot. I'm I'maplanning starting the United Airlines flight school in January and cant wait. My favorite travel memory was when my family flew to floFloridad visited the amusment parks and went exploring. It was my first time flying in a plane and i hId immediatley fell in love with being in the air.
This is HANDS DOWN my favorite video of yours!! The whole car on the tracks thing had me giggling along with you! lol
Favorite travel memory: I was about 8 yrs old when I went on my first airplane ride. My mom "made" me wear a navy blue dress and we flew from Houston to San Francisco on Continental Airlines. I still remember the feeling of being thrust back into my seat as the process of takeoff began. I didn't know quite what to think at the moment but it is THAT moment that sticks with me and why the whole physics of flight still baffles me. I am an avid plane spotter to this day and at age 51, I still long to become a pilot for a major airline.
I'm 22 and this is my favorite travel memory yet. This summer I traveled across the globe from India to Canada in order to do my fight training. I carefully planned my journey to fly in the 787, the a380 and the 777. I loved every bit of the journey and love the training that I am on right now!
My favorite travel memory was when my grandpa and grandma took my brother and I (this was 43 years ago) to Colorado in their pickup and they had a pickup camper on the back. We had so much fun traveling for 2 weeks, fishing for trout, stopping and seeing relatives, getting to experience things that I had not had the chance to experience, even though my family usually went on vacations every year. It just was a fantastic trip and even thought my grandparents aren’t alive anymore, I’ll never forget those 2 weeks we got to spend with them. BTW, I loved your video.
My mom and I traveled to Venice, Italy a few years ago and enjoyed peach bellinis in St. Mark's Square. She and my grandmother took the same trip thirty years prior and did the same thing. It was special to recreate that experience. Congratulations on achieving 100K subscribers. Wonderful video as always!
Congrats!!!! Favorite memory is spending 6 months in Spain exploring the entire country. Arriving to Madrid and using rain and car rentals to go around the country.
my happiest memories are from a few spots that have quite a few people at once, with just the right mood. It's more about the people, for me. I like pedestrian places, where you mostly see people going on foot and you don't hear the sound of engines. So a few places check these boxes. My favorite is Venice, in shoulder season and avoiding the most busy parts.
In the mid 80’s I traveled to Southern California. I was staying in North Hollywood. Woke up very early on a Sunday morning and ventured out to the Hollywood Bowl, much to my surprise I was able to literally walk in to the venue and walk right up on stage. I belted out the first verse of Here Comes the Sun, It was a total out of body experience, goosebumps overtook my body, I could feel the energy of the facility racing through me !!!!
I’ve never felt this type of rush since.
Congratulations on 100,000 🤙
my favorite travel memory was when I went to Washinton DC in 8th grade for a school trip. We got to do so many things such as go into the white house, visit our state senators in their offices, and go on the capitol building subway. It's a place unlike anywhere else in the country and we actually got back home less than a week before covid started shutting everything down.
Paul thanks a lot for sharing your Layover life! Enjoyed every single video a lot. My favourite memory was a hotel stay for work in Frankfurt Germany when my wife called me in the middle of the night that our first born son is on the way to get his first glimpse of the world. I could make it on time back home to the hospital and a wink later our son was born. Will never forget that :). Greetings from Austria!
Love the channel and just the overall vibrancy that’s associated with your videos. It’s such a treat to watch someone living out my dream of being a pilot. Keep up the fantastic work!
1M, HERE WE COME!!
My favorite travel memory was when I was 7 years old and my family drove from Mississippi to California to see family there. We were in a Ford Courier pick -up with a camper shell on it. We took 5 days to get there because we were site seeing on the way and we stayed at KOA or similar campgrounds. At night we put the luggage in the cab of the pick-up, I along with my sister slept on slats my dad designed across the with of the camper shell and my mom and dad slept below us in the bed of the truck. It was for a 7 year old a great adventure and something I will never forget.
Congrats on 100K, well deserved. My favorite travel memory is from several years ago when I had saved enough money to go on my first international trip to London & Scotland. As a kid we were too poor to go anywhere so that trip was huge to me. Now I’m looking forward to Germany next year.
Favourite travel memory - I travelled solo around America for 3 months in 2003. I traveled by bus from the east coast to the west coast. I saw so many amazing things and met so many, kind, welcoming and thoughtful Americans. They were a credit to your nation. Ps I’m from the U.K.
My favorite memory was when I first flew in a plane going to florida to go to Disney world. I got the window seat and from then on I was hooked on flying. Hopping I can fly airliners like you.
Best Travel memory was last year when i climbed Pico Mountain in the Azores Islands in Portugal, spent the night in the crater and witness the most amazing sunrise of my life. Congrats on your 100k.
My favourite travel memory was swimming with dolphins in The Bahamas whilst on a work trip there. It was on my bucket list & i didnt know how i would be ever able to do that. I never stopped smiling for a week at least. Such powerful, majestic & intelligent creatures.. but so gentle. A highlight of a lifetime for sure!!
My favorite travel memory was on a small plane in Africa, pilot realized I was somewhat understanding the information on the screens and started pointing out traffic within sight, etc. Really fun as a young kid with a pilot dream
My favorite travel memory is probably being with my husband and two kids in Puerto Rico in 2014 at 10pm one night after we had kayaked to see the bioluminescent bay and when we got out of the kayaks, lots of vendors were selling treats. We bought four shish kebabs and sat and ate them watching the life around us. We were all just happy and in awe of our great fortune to be where we were and to be there together.
My favorite travel memory.
Booked an airbnb in Bangkok and as soon as we land, realize googlemaps doesn't work. Took a taxi to the area of the airbnb, was a bit nervous being in a different country but thankfully the host sent directions with pictures of major landmarks. To our surprise we were able find the house without GPS. Talk about adventure.
Favorite travel memory: flying in first class for the first time. The difference the way the staff treats you. It’s amazing. I wish the flight was longer than 5 hours.
Welcome to Denver! Lived here from MI for 30 years now and love our trips to Moab❤. We took our girls to Corona when they were about the same age and it was amazing! My daughter did handstands under the arch and I still have the pics! Thanks for your interesting travel insights.
Slowly working my way through your videos! Enjoying them all! Travel is the best thing any of us can do. It gives us an appreciation for things larger than us! Before I was married and had kids, my best friend and I traveled to all 50 states on our motorcycles (well he lived in Hawaii for a while so we technically didn't ride TO Hawaii, but you get it) and half of Canada. Love Moab too! My wife is Portuguese and some of her family still lives in Portugal so we are slowly expanding our travels in Europe! We have a great pasteis de nata recipe if you want it too!
congrats on 100k! my fav travel memory was when I did my first solo flight last year after just turning 18. aviation is my passion and your channel motivates me to keep working hard to reach the big airlines.
Congrats on the 100k subscribers! My favorite is from this summer when we spent 2 weeks traveling in Europe. We saw so many beautiful and impactful places that we are having trouble processing and sharing them with others. So many amazing places yet to be explored.
Paul, that shot on the ledge was breathtaking and terrifying!!! That fo sure deserve a thumbs up. Great video mien, you have a lovely family and great words of inspiration and guidance. May God continue to bless you guys!! Darrel from Beautiful Belize 🇧🇿
My favourite travel memory was when I was 5. I was travelling from Bangkok to Phuket, Thailand and I was really excited as it was my first time flying onboard a 747. I was looking around the plane excited and everything that eventually the crew came to me and offered to give me a tour of the complete aircraft. This includes the galley, crew rest and even the cockpit! Definitely my best memory and something I will never forget!
My favorite memory was traveling from IAD TO Syd as a teenager. My dad was relocated there for work and we flew on a united 747-400. The pilots were super awesome and i even got some flight deck time! Memories for a lifetime
Congrats on hitting 100K. Your content is so cool. Not many airline pilots can show both work and off work time. Great video, I love seeing southern Utah.
My favorite travel memory. Living in China for a year. So much to say and did so much. Encountered the best people and shared that experience with my partner. Even to this day after 10 years from that time I smile thinking of that time. Many a day do I miss something about China. That was my fondest travel memory and also the most pivotal time in my life. I'm a pilot in training changing my career at 50 to fly, will be continuing my training in MN end of summer. Currently in PACNW finishing my PPL. Good to be going back home. That's a future travel memory 😉 congrats! Well deserved and may there be many more milestones for this great channel.
My favorite travel memory is going to see my Grandparents in Hawaii. He has Parkinson’s disease so it’s nice being able to see him when we can! I used to play golf with him as a kid all the time, and my favorite travel memory lies there. Congrats on 100k! You deserve it and I love watching your videos.
Congrats on 100k subscribers. My favorite travel memory is when my then 79 year old grandma stepped on an airplane for the very first time to attend our wedding in Arizona visiting from Germany.
Congrats on reaching 100k subscribers. My favorite travel memory is really a collection of memories of various trips when I was a kid. Something almost always went wrong, like the time we were in the Great Smokies in a thunderstorm in our popup camper, which started leaking all over the place. But my parents always made the best of it, so we were wet but having fun. Also, the trips with my kids when they got to experience new things, it's always great to see the wonder in their eyes.
My favorite travel memory is going to Colorado for the first time and going to a Colorado Rockies game. Thank you for this video Paul.
