    i put one of your vids on for my girl the other day and started on Estonia then jumped onto the Philippines. The quality has increased so much between the two. Other travel pages are over the top with drone shots and they only show the highlights. What makes your ones great is that you say it how it is. That British mentality makes the videos fun, interesting and honest. Its not all glamour. The long journeys, the scams, the injuries, the financial side of things etc etc. These vids are always good for a rainy day.
    I felt that with the hk2ny ones we missed so much from Australia as you had to cram them into a short video. There's so much to see and so many adventures so this was a really good idea to make this video/ Looking forward to watching them both

    • @karlwatsondocs
      @karlwatsondocs  4 года назад

      Cheers. Yeah on HK2NY the video didn’t do the east coast justice at all. We had an amazing time but in terms of filming, we were half way through the trip and I was just burnt out with it, nearly gave up on it actually. So it was great to go back all these times and film the hell out of it! 😊

    • @allstat7117
      @allstat7117 4 года назад +1
