Video idea, throw a dart on a European map and spend a few days around the area where it lands, document the surroundings like the nature, people, buildings, culture, and more.
I would say that when you're in each city in future, show us more of the destination itself. The challenges where you needed to go to several interesting destinations in each city were the best, but you are also great at meeting people, so continue to do that, but in moderation.
Took the words from my mouth! Amazing content honestly, but show us around a bit!
Another idea, instead of Googling "the oldest church" or whatever, you need to find it by asking people!
My suggestion on a challenge: Walk from one side of a country to the other where you don't know anyone and with only $20 (or some number) to spend each day. Basically answering the question, can you survive with no transportation, no connections, and a limited budget to get from one side of the country to the other? (And not one of those easy countries like Luxembourg, but one that is actually a decent size like Spain or Germany.) Thanks!
Hahah that’s a crazy one for sure!
So cool! I like this challenge.
You could do a multi country charity challenge series where you do helpful charitable things for people in different countries but tailored to that specific country. Examples: Help old people in Japan. Teach a science class in a Nairobi village. Find homes for street cats in Istanbul.
I LOVE this idea
A number of years ago I read about a retired woman in the U.K. who made it her goal to visit every pub named "The Red Lion" in the country. She would take a bus from Red Lion to Red Lion and stay the night (most pubs have rooms available). It sounded like heaven to me. So here's my challenge to you. Make a video series where you visit every single Albert Heijn in the Netherlands. I'm a Canadian who's visited the Netherlands nine times (most recently in November) and I'm semi-obsessed with Albert Heijn. If I see one, I have to visit. From the premium AH (the underground one across the street from the Concertgebouw) to the little AH to Go stores. So there it is: visit all 996 Albert Heijn locations in the Netherlands, rate them and then take in the local sights. I guarantee your channel a triumph deluxe.
The fact that this guy is very inspiring he needs 100k asap. He’s one of my new favorite RUclipsrs and I just started watching the videos a couple of days ago.
Thank you 🥹
Hi chris. I have really been enjoying your channel so far your series was a blast. My suggestion is that on your future travel videos, you should visit some rural areas and least popular towns of the country your visiting. This, in my opinion, will make your content even more special and adventerous. Perhaps do some challenges in which you have to use local transport to get to a completely random town or village and try interacting with locals and learning more about the place and country you are currently in. Also you should show us around a bit more and make your viewers really experience the country you re visiting. Hope your channel takes off in 2024 because you absolutely deserve it. Keep grinding!
Great suggestion. My favorite parts of France are the smaller towns and mountain villages. Paris was great to visit for a day or two, but the best experiences are found elsewhere in the country, in my opinion. It's so crazy to see 15th-century castles while driving down the road. That's something you could never see in the U.S.
You should do some sort of challenge where you start with a certain amount of money in the UK and your goal is to make money in say the UK and get enough to afford a flight to another country and continue to do that until you get to somewhere like Turkey on the other side of the EU. I think it would be a really cool series and get your channel some traction.
I’m having fun watching your videos.
My suggestion is:
Go to New Orleans during Mardi Gras and have no money.
Watch southern hospitality at its finest.
(You could go the weekend before Mardi Gras. That would be easier and the parades and fun start two weeks prior)
When you finally do make it to the USA, we have a spare room.😊 New England in autumn is amazing.
I started with your 14-day travel series, but somehow missed this video. I spent a lot of time in Amsterdam starting in the 1970's, while in the U.S. Army. At that time you could camp in the old Olympic Stadium. My last visit was in April 2022. At that time I spent 2 days in Den Haag, before boarding a river boat in Amsterdam. We cruised all the way to Budapest, then spent a few days in Prague. I will be back in September as we stop for the day on a cruise from Reykjavik. Update: You mentioned wanting to go to Japan. I was stationed there from 1966 to 1969. I loved it! It is not a place that you can just fly in and rush through a visit.
A very interesting challenge would be "sleeping in the cheapest hotel in the country" in certain countries. Great job, keep going and I wish you all the best!
I feel like this is the start of something big dude - can't wait to see it explode right from the start!
Thanks for being early 🫶🏻
First time i saw your video i tought you had like 2 mil subs xx only after like 5 vids i realized that you are new on youtube, thats so cool man, you do amazing stuff, video quality on top, keep doing that !
Loved the Cheapest Flight series!!! You will be a HUGE YT success if you continue being the authentic and earnest person I found myself binge watching this week😂
Hey great video man!! I can already tell you are destined for success 🤙. one idea i have for you is imagine you make a friend in each european country, then host a party with all of them together giving them the chance to share culture and compare and contrast experience what is a like in different parts of the world
It's cool to see that the channel has grown since you made this video to over 20k subs in just a month! Keep making good content and you'll be at 100k by January 2025 I believe!
I'm a huge fan of your RUclips channel and I wanted to say thank you for making such amazing travel videos. You have a unique way of exploring the world and showing us places that most people never get to see. I love how you always find something interesting and unexpected in every destination.
Your videos inspire me to travel more and to be more adventurous. You have a great personality and a sense of humor that makes your videos fun to watch. You also have a lot of skills and knowledge that you share with your viewers. You are not just a tourist, but a traveler who respects and appreciates different cultures and environments.
I hope you keep up the good work and continue to produce more unusual travel videos. You have a loyal fan base that supports you and enjoys your content. You are doing something amazing and I can't wait to see where you go next.
This comment just put a huge smile on my face, thank you so much ❤️
Awesome video, Chris. I'll be in Amsterdam in October for my niece's wedding. She used to live right down the street from me here in Los Angeles, but fell in love with a guy from Amsterdam, so off she went. Luckily I have plenty of air miles in my account for that trip. If I run into you while I'm there, dinner is on me! Travel safely, and keep the videos coming!
Beste cris/jeroen
Denk wel dat je het programma roodtrippers kent van stuk tv. Lijkt mij wel leuk om zo iets te zien tussen 2 teams. En dat je geld kunt verdienen door zulke opdrachten te doen zo als slaap bij een lokaal persoon, vindt iemand die een stuk mee rijst die je niet kent, en allemaal van datsoort dingen. Suc6 met je RUclips kanaal maak er wat leuks van
Just stumbled on your channel and binged the whole 14 days of travel and i really enjoyed it! 😊
My video idea is for you to challenge yourself by only speaking the local language to buy food, ask for directions etc.
I also prefer when you had smaller challenges to complete and did not really enjoy those that u had to sneak into like the hotel spa.
An idea could be travelling around using only buses (not coaches) & see how far you can travel from your home town to ??? in 7 days.
I also liked the previous ideas of throwing a dart at a map to choose where to go, maybe using several maps. One to choose the country then get a map of that country to choose the place!! Also the idea of doing charitable/voluntary things in locations is fab
I only found you a few hours ago & you are definitely now in my top 5. I wish you every success my lovely.
I would love to see some videos showing us around the netherlands too so that when we visit we know where to go! I also love hearing u speak Dutch in the videos. For the rest of the videos I definitely think seeing more of the country would be good but I know it was hard with the time but maybe u could have like hard challenge one day and the next more touristy challenge so we get a bit of both.
I just binge watched your cheap flights series. Loved all your videos but it sucked you had food poisoning in Athens. Looking forward to what you have next. Good luck!
To keep up your pace you have to eat a Lot! I am enjoying your channel. With a face like yours, definitely show it. It's a great asset.
I would prefer also prefer to see more of the destinations, the challenges are fun, but ultimately a distraction, perhaps something more like Europe on $100 per day sort of like this video would be a good alternate to go along with challenge style videos.
It would be so funny if he went to people’s houses and offered them a tour of their own house
There’s so many comments here and I started trawling through them in case I was repeating someone else but apologies I couldn’t get through them all, and know you may not get read this either! But what about seeing how far you can travel without flying- and travelling on a tight budget? I don’t know if you’ve seen Race Across the World (uk show) but such a great concept and great to see more of countries you travel across and meet the locals en route. Great channel by the way- really professionally edited and I love challenges where you’re pushed out of comfort zone but also showing the real you warts and all (food poisoning in Athens) as travelling isn’t always a glamorous experience.
I'd suggest going to Brasil, from south to north and learn dance styles, try food etc. People in Brasil are very very open and nice, specially to share their traditions with you.
Plus your channel will explode. Ask any content creator that started to post anything about Brasil 😂
I’m also Dutch, (from Rotterdam) I’ve also been to Amsterdam. In my opinion (in general, of what I remember) Amsterdam is much more affordable than Rotterdam, Rotterdam is quite expensive, but they both have very good things, plus Amsterdam stayed with the old Dutch styled-like buildings, while Rotterdam has really high industrialized in most of the part. Still, they are both really amazing cities, and honestly, I could just live normally in Amsterdam just like I live in Rotterdam. I’ve also traveled to a lot of countries! One of my favorites I would definitely recommend you to visit is definitely the United Arab Emirates (Verenigde Arabische Emiraten - VAE) or how most people call it - Dubai, it’s absolutely amazing, I stayed in Dubai and literally when your in the Terminal Airport everything is really modern, I stayed in one of the worlds most least affordable hotel 😅 - Atlantis, and yes, in the UAE it’s REALLY REALLY HOT, but that’s because I went in June-July, which is the hot seasons there, but that didn’t stop me, I also went to the Burj Khalifa, you have to go there at night! The lights and all of the fountains are absolutely stunning. I also went on an off-road adventure in the Arabian Desert, it was really fun, it’s like 20-30 mins of off-road, then you go to a place called ‘desert gate’ (بوابة الصحراء) where you can get a drink, and chill, and then they put you a kind-of tattoo called henna, it contains designs, but obviously it’s removable. When you’re there, you can also take a ride on camels. Last place I recommend you go (that I’ve been to) when you’re in the UAE is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (In the capital - Abu Dhabi) you can go with a taxi, it’s very easy and very cheap, the mosque is literally only WHITE AND GOLD, the designing is just too hard to believe and this place really gets you to know more about the UAE and about Islam. That’s all! Just so you know, there are definitely more places to go, but these are just the places I’ve been to. And the UAE is Visa-Free for Dutch Passport-Citizens, thank god we have a strong passport!
Interesting video Chris! Greetings from Amsterdam🇳🇱. If ever visit here, I could show around on motor for an adventurous way to explore this city areas.🏍 ⚡
You're doing great, Chris. Loved the cheapest flights series. It would be a dream job to have a successful travel vlog channel. I would be happy to show you around and be apart of a video if you ever make it to Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada
Hope you make it to Canada some day, especially the Vancouver area (you need to include side trips to Whistler & Victoria on Vancouver Island). Canada is huge & very beautiful. I’m originally from Ontario (Toronto) and have been all over. BC, especially Greater Vancouver is easily the most beautiful part of a stunning country.
It is so exciting to see you back home! Love your taste in ice cream. I think other new youtubers might be interested in how your analytics look currently. Personally I am 100% convinced you will be now able to live full time off of your videos ASAP! Your new career has launched with incredible success! Now buy that ticket to Japan, and have fun!!
I’m actually sharing a lot of my analytics on instagram! @jeroencbosch 📈
oh! Cool! Thanks. I don't follow Instagram but I imagine most of your fans do, so fantastic! @@ChrisTakesOff
u should do the same series again but with trains!!
If you ever have to come to South America, please consider to visit Paraguay! We are a country forgotten by foreigners and we have very good people and very good food here!
Been to Amsterdam 3 times and loved it ! Quite expensive though!! in comparison to other countries in Europe..... Love the channel!!! Keep up the good work, love from the UK
I watched 1 video of the flight series but I'm sorry I had to binge all 13 after , they were good made. Loved it
Enjoying your channel. Your travels around Europe were amazing. I thought you were American as you speak in Dollars. Surely you use the Euro (I think the Guilder went a few years ago) in the Netherlands. I am confused!
hi chris!! love your channel! i love travelling myself and seeing you go to cool places all over the world is super inspiring😊im coming to amsterdam in june with my boyfriend and would love for you to show more of your city, recommendations of places to go, things to do and what to eat. that would be super helpful!! keep it up 👍
Bro you are a legend I am loving every video of you and Leroy is a legend too
that was wicked! my favourite city right there! been 10+ times but only when i smoked, so i always just went to as many coffeeshops as possible.. cool to see other places i've not been to before!
got a future video suggestion that mayyy not have been done before.. visit as many cities/countries as possible in 2 weeks without using air travel!
If you ever get to the states you can easily do the NYC or LA thing anytime but hit up rural America. Swing over to Ohio and I’ll take ya magnet fishing and to see the worlds largest cuckoo clock located in Amish country!
I’m so down for that!! Sounds absolutely amazing 🤩
@@ChrisTakesOff you’d love it. The Amish speak a language called Pennsylvania Dutch which to me sounds German but a Dutch speaking fella like you might actually pick up on stuff they are saying lol
@@The-Day-Off that is actually German, or better say a dialect of it. The word Deutsch (German) kinda got mixed up with Dutch and there we are...
Thank you for this video. Thank YT for suggesting your videos to me! I have not been to Amsterdam in a loooong time and it has been on my list. I will be in Europe this spring and hope to take a quick trip to Amsterdam. Your editing is excellent, especially being new to YT, I am impressed. Keep up the good work!!
Been watching your videos and I love your positive attitude! If you come to the US, you should check out the Indian relay horse racing that happens in the summer in Western states. It would be cool if you could meet a team.
I love Amsterdam so much. I need to plan a trip to go back.
Bro, i met u a few days ago and i'm friking loving ur content dude, it's so fuking amazing how u make the videos and also amazing the fact that u only have 4k followers, hope u get to 100k soon
Hey Chris, I noticed that you were interested in traveling to the United States. I have a home 2.5 hours from San Diego CA, 45 minutes from Ontario CA, and 1.5 hours from Los Angeles. I am happy to let you stay at my home if you need to mitigate your expenses so you may travel out and explore. Love your content and Happy travels brotha! 🤟🏼
What do I like? You putting your spin on the local area... and maybe a bit of discomfort while doing silly challenges!
It would be nice if you would go train rides across some countries like Austria, Italy, prague, and showcase the natural beauty and travel to the coasts and the sea, and maybe go skiing.
would love to see some more aviation content - maybe if you will be able to fly yourself then a comparison of cost between flying commercial and flying yourself - including airport time, comfort etc.
The peanut sauce originated from Indonesia i think (which we have some history with as you will know), where its used on satay
I would really enjoy that you one day will go to Portugal 🇵🇹
I went to Japan in 2014 and tbh Hokkaido is magical. I felt at home there, but not Honshu at all - too hot, humid and urban. The cities in the north are enchanting and the weather, landscapes breathtaking.
Could you do throwing a dart and flying to the location?
I love watching your videos Chris. Have you considered making a collab with Ben Morris. I think yall would be a great duo. Keep working hard and good luck!
I’ll ask him!
New subscriber here, and i enjoy how raw and authentic the video.Hope to see you one day in amsterdam.And cook filipino food so that you can try it
Your content is really underrated keep going you got it
I have been watching your videos for practice my English , ty !!!
9:12 omg the time in the clockkkkkkk thats the exact time right now omg what a coincidence
Can't wait to see all the places you'll go, we're all rooting for you! :D
Go to China!! Ps, Great content, I know travelling is hard work but what an amazing experience. Cant wait to see how this channel grows.
You should start a series where you rate trains around the world starting in Japan.
I loved using the ferry, when I stayed in Amsterdam late October I stayed at the unique Botel 🙂 We had to use the ferry daily to get to the city centre! Also, the A'dam tower was an amazing experience!
Definitely do this in Rotterdam and The Hague think that would be interesting buddy
If u want to travel the world go to Madeira island everyone calls it the Hawaii of Europe speak to locals and go to a levada(hike) it will be a nice video
Video idea,
Cross Europe starting with no money, you would have to earn some in various ways for transportation, so basically what Ryan trahan did in the US, you could start from like Helsinki and make it all the way to Lisbon, or go from like Trøsmo to Palermo
I'm a big fan of yours and i hope you will become a huge youtuber one day😃I love your content and your off on a great start i hope that this will be your BIG succses👍
Where are your big oversized hoodies from?
Also, challenge for you. The Dutch love ice skating, come to Newcastle or more specifically Whitley Bay and join me and our team in an ice hockey training session. You’ll get to show the delights of the region and see what Newcastle is about. (Jump on Geordie Cruises, the ferry from IJmuiden to North Shields.
Damn, I absolutely love that idea!! Please send me a DM on instagram: @christakesoff_yt
Also, my hoodies are from Live Fast Die Young (not sponsored lol)
I saw Baskin-Robbins. I have one 3 blocks from my house in Kansas.
hitch-hike the east coast of Australia in 2024, so many beautiful places and people especially from Sunshine Coast qld up
Looking forward to your next videos.
I like people following their dream. Hope to see you in Algeria one day, it’s quite charming and have nothing to do with the other northern Africa countries. Keep up the good work !!!
Please come to Istanbul once again because during your previous visit, you couldn't explore at all due to searching for shelter.:)))))))))
Hi Chris :) So glad to see your hard work on your series paid off and hope it takes you far! Idk why but I would love to see you do like a weekend of camping somewhere very remote kind of as a "survival" challenge to see how you would do :D
Would love to see some challenges in the country side of the Netherlands!
Would love to see an intentional no money challenge series, something like Simon Wilson. The cheapest series was great but (not trying to sound harsh here.. 😂) I kind of wanted you to fail one of your challenges to see how you'd manage it!
Bro your gonna be as big as like yes theory soon, your videos are of similar/better quality. Just make sure you hire me when you are 💯
Hi Chris, I think you should do a proper no money challenge, meaning no money for food or hotel. A collaboration with Simon Wilson would be perfect for this. He is the King of no money challenges and proof you can travel anywhere no matter what your budget is! Also would love to see you travel Japan, it’s one of my dream places to visit and there is so much you can do there! I hope you get to visit there soon! 🤞
As a huge football fan myself, and I can see you are as well, doing stadium challenges across Europe would be so cool e.g. European football spin the wheel. And when you get there you can do various challenges like you have been doing. Keep it up with the videos though mate really enjoying them
Als je zo door gaat met deze video’s kan je hier sowieso wel je full time job van maken. Lekker bezig 👌🏼
Chris, we discovered your channel a few days ago and were hooked. Watched all four 14 days in one afternoon and evening. You have "it", (whatever 'it' is) and we look forward to seeing the channel grow and knowing we were here in the beginning.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
Loved your series so much ! Binged it all yesterday. I absolutely love traveling and I’m always driving somewhere new every weekend. Praying the best of luck in all your future endeavors, and can’t wait to see where you’re off to next ! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
great love your challenges love the challenge's you do keep up the good work dude :)
I stumbled across your channel when you had 27 subscribers and I thought your videos wouldn’t be good. But boy was I wrong! They are so entertaining and you are a great person to watch and the editing is superb. Your ideas are fun and creative! I subscribed that day and enjoyed watching your channel grow every day with each exceptional video!
My challenge would be to climb the tallest building and drink the national drink at the top!
Keep making great videos and enjoy yourself!
Chris, the way your channel is taking off, I bet you could get some donations of airline points from your fan club here in the US, and you’d be here before you even know it!
It’s great to watch your channel excel! 🎉
Darryl in Seattle 🇺🇸
Thanks a lot Darryl! I’m really hoping to maintain this pace of growth and hopefully do a month in the US to do lots of videos
Hey man. Really appreciate your warm optimistic energy and keeping it real. By showing the difficulties and failures, it makes your successes ever more genuine and satisfying!
My only suggestion would be to stop using dollar as a currency in the videos and thumbnails. It gives me the feeling the videos are generic and loses the authenticity of a European travelling in European countries. Nothing wrong with adding captions of the exchange rate into euros and USD in the video itself though! Most of the countries used euros and everyone in the world knows approximately how much a euro is anyway.
Much love!
That’s fair! I appreciate the feedback
Yesirrr, continue to grinde. I believe in you!!!!
thanks for the great information about your hometown!
Just binge watched all of your videos in one sitting! Enjoyed them! Keep up the good work mate
I would love it when you do Monopoly in Real Life. Don’t know, maybe it’s to expensive now when you are not so big ( no worry you will be a big RUclipsr ) but i think monopoly and you will be a great combo! Love from northern Germany
Loved all your videos. Getting food posioning isn't much fun - been at home suffeing now for two days! Have you thought about hitting places like Egypt, India, and South East Asia? You would love it, and would we. All the very best for 2024. Things will happen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I started watching and then got pulled away! I am back now and excited to see what questions everyone asked ❤❤❤
4:20 come to Australia!
I'd like to see you throw a dart at a map and go there
I'm slowly watching all of your content and I'm finally up to pace 😅
Totally understandable what you said in the end of the video. The heart wants what it wants😊
Your subscribers gain very quick….Congrats, you deserve it. Id love to see travel to places most ppl dont go
Just finished the series and it was brilliant! Love to see a video of doing the 7 wonders of the world
So glad for you bro ❤
🐐❤️
RUclips GOAT back at it!!!
👀
New challenge idea. Make it from Sapporo to wakkanai by hitchhiking. I live in Hokkaido part time if you’d like more Japan ideas. Hokkaido is magical and not too much RUclips content out there
