The 5k Tourist: Anna’s Adventures
Registrace 3. 01. 2023
A parking lot for my travel memories. I have nothing to sell you. No courses, no email sign ups, nada. This is where I park my travel memories.
I’ve travelled to 26 countries over the last 20 years, most recently with Terry (whose voice you’ll hear on some videos) to 6, so I thought that it was time to document my adventures in one place. I am especially thrifty and love to figure out cheaper ways to travel whilst not compromising on reasonable luxuries.
Enjoy the videos! If I can help with any advice about any of the places, races, etc. that I/we have been to, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Sellicks Beach Snorkeling in South Australia, Australia
This beautiful beach is about an hour's drive from where I currently live, in Adelaide, Australia. I've been working hard to overcome my fear of water and sharks and was proud of myself for being in the water for about 40 mins! I captured roughly 5 minutes of footage. My friends Anderson and Sarah have been instrumental in this journey. Love you guys!
The beautiful thing about living in Adelaide is that you can easily drive to many destinations after work and still have a wonderful adventure all before sunset in summer. It was 41 degrees so we all really needed to cool down!

This is the best collessum video on the tube❤
Loved your video. Lucky enough to be returning to Rome & this time I want to go UNDERGROUND COLLESEUM AT NIGHT ONLY. Already saw Forum HOW DO I GET TICKETS FOR UNDERGROUND AT NIGHT??
The mixture of your videography, the subtitles and the music are a perfect mix. Very well done. Thank you for uploading.
Great video! Which tour guide company did you use?
Great video, Thanks.
Hi, thank you so much! I am very glad that you enjoyed it :-). Anna
Thank you for the video. I felt like I was with you!!
Hi, thank you so much! I am very glad that you enjoyed it :-). Anna
Awesome video , is the pool still there I read there was water and they had water battles
Hi, no, unfortunately not. I could be way off here but I reckon that was possibly before the Colosseum's time in Nero's mega pad :-).
Gratis, I visited Rome but time $ only got to fully see 2-3 places like Vatican, the Colosseum might have been off limits for restoration in 1984
Hi! You're right, I was at the Colosseum in 2010 and just checked my pictures, the downstairs and underground section was closed then so would definitely have been in 1984. I hope that you get to go again and can see this magic first-hand :-).
Leave Pompei & the dead Pompeians alone. this city should'nt have been excavated, let alone the dead bodies disrespected by scientists & tourists, placed in glass cages & so on. a disgrace for humanity.
They should finish installing the rest of the floor and cover it with sand just like ancient times, people would get a real feeling of what it was like.
That would definitely be a very cool experience! Might entice me to some playful close range combat hahahah.
This is what will happened if lgbtq be normalize. Wait n see.. the destruction are coming.
One can almost imagine the people of Herculaneum going about their business. Thanks for showing us this great city in such fine detail. Great video.
Thank you so much Alex, great to hear from you and I’m very happy that you enjoyed it! Anna
In the 1960s, the hypogeum was open to anyone and you could walk around down there anywhere you wanted without those raised walkways. But then again, in those days, there might have been only 200 or so people in there at any given time.
That would’ve been incredible! I was just pondering your comment and thinking back how extra spectacular travel must have been in the 60s…no CZcams, internet, etc. Imagine the anticipation and wonder of travel back then!
Yes, it is interesting...but in a sad way to me. Hopeless people, men, women, children, all going to be slaughtered as entertainment for others. So many animals killed...again for entertainment. The Gladiators themselves......not just man against man at times.....and usually ended up as they were killed off one by one....a friend you had made in there.....or someone you knew had no chance against you and you would have to kill him.....all for someone's view of entertainment. Yes...a chance for freedom....at the cost of many others you had known....ate with, talked to, saw on a daily basis. The Colosseum itself...yes most interesting, the design, seating, etc., I wonder if anyone ever took or kept a log...for a count of how many had died there. And afterward....what did they do with the bodies ?
I love the empathy with which you’ve observed this. It’s bizarre, when considering modern standards and human rights, that it was considered normal to do that with people and animals. I am grateful that I was born when I was! Anna
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, John, appreciate the feedback and so happy that you enjoyed it!
Beautifully filmed! Really enjoyed seeing this. Thank you for sharing your travels!
Thank you so much! I’m stoked that you took the time to enjoy it with us. Warmest wishes from Australia. Anna
Memento, not momento.
Very well done, one can not imagine the cruelty that went on in this place.
Hi Ian, thank you very much for the feedback, so happy you enjoyed it with us. The tour guide told us some horror stories; the fights, Nero’s cruelty and just generally how disposable people seemed to be back then. Great time to be alive today for sure!
Very well done. The colosseum Hypogeum must be surreal to walk through....walking in the same footsteps that thousands of people walked before going up to be killed. It looks like you really have to use your imagination when looking out into the arena, but one area where you don't is the concourse you shot at the beginning. You can so easily picture the thousands of Romans making their way into the colosseum, taking that same walk. Maybe you'll show it in a later video, but the emperor's entrance is also very interesting. You can stand on the same stones that the famous emperors of Rome walked on as they made their way into the colosseum.
Hi Sebastian, love your feedback, thank you! My imagination went wild when walking through; especially how the gladiators must have felt walking to meet their fate. It’s almost unimaginable. Unfortunately we didn’t get to the Emperor’s entrance as we were on a tight timeline to make the Roman Forum before closing time. However, I threw a coin in the Trevi Fountain so will definitely be back in Rome! Anna
What camera did you use for recording Ercolano? It is so clear.
Hi Wahjoe, thanks for reaching out! We got the GoPro 11 Content Creator kit for this. If you’re out filming all day I suggest a few extra batteries just in case, although the stick and battery lasts really long. We also took a battery pack to charge everything while we had lunch, dinners, etc.
rudolph the red nosed reindeer is wondering why now with the kilts
How Scottish 😂
I went to Pompeii on a cruise excursion and it felt surreal walking through the same streets and sidewalks that those that perished thousands of years ago also walked!
Hi Carlos, we had the same feeling. I was amazed at how great some of the cobbled roads still looked. The rain on the day added to the pulling at the heart strings and amazement as we walked through.
Are there a very quite...
love it! they should have had red velvet bag covers too and red and green drone ribbons too! other than that great.
Love how you are taking time to have a good look at things..I always love to look at videos of both Pompeii and Herculanuem ...Would love to visit both sites someday
Hi Christine, thank you! We were very fortunate to have a month to travel around Europe so could take it a bit slower. The “one year trip” is the next goal; stay tuned! 🌹 Anna
Long Live Scotland!!!
This is were the world is going wrong silly costumes should be in full beguiler amazing pipes

So beautiful
Leith. A fishing village? Okay.....
What's next.... Halloween costumes?. Thumbs down.
This was at an event suitably called the Santa Run which is an annual fundraiser in Edinburgh for sick children
Look at how few tourists there are just 4 weeks ago. We are here currently (May 14th to 19th), and Rome, including the sites, is absolutely jam-packed.
Hi Matt. We were surprised that it was so quiet when we went. London was the exception though, almost couldn’t move in the streets! Good luck with the crowds and have a great trip!
I know what the name of it is now. I’ve hear it often
Likewise! I had to get my Scottish mate Gary to help me identify it. So happy you liked it! Anna
Where did you find this tour and how can I book I will be there in September I hope it is still available Thank You Angela
Hi Angela! We booked ours on Viator. Here’s the link (we don’t earn anything by sharing this) www.viator.com/tours/Rome/Ancient-Rome-and-Colosseum-Tour-Underground-Chambers-Arena-and-Upper-Tier/d511-3731COLOSSEUM_SMALL I suggest you book well in advance as they sell out quickly due to the small size of the groups. It’s pricey but was worth every cent!
It comes straight from the heart amazing
I still get goosebumps when I listen to it. Such a great privilege to have experienced this moment in real life and I’m very happy that you, too, enjoyed it. Anna
Awesome video 👍🏽🙌🏽 gonna be honest I usually prefer hearing the details rather than having to read them but this was excellent! 😃 thank you for sharing 🤎
Hi Meg, such a lovely compliment, thank you! So happy that you enjoyed the voiceless one despite your preference. Truth be told, I’m struggling to love my voice on video 😅but am working on it. Thanks again! Anna
Visited the beautiful capital 2-3 weeks ago and had amazing weather. Will for sure come back in September. Regards from Brussels
Hi Laurent, sounds like you had a great trip! Have a great trip in September and enjoy being so close to so many beautiful things in Europe! It feels like I live 100 light years away by living in Australia 😂

Hahahaah this was one of my top 3 favourite moments of that trip! Made me think of King Maurice from Madagascar 🤣
@@the5ktourists Would have been a top moment for me, too! Thanks for sharing your wonderful travels!
Thank you for watching; my heart is full! I’ll post a few more videos soon, work is hectic! Lots of travel love from down under. Anna
Been to both sites in person and it was a joy and an experience to go to them, I don't have an favourite between Herculean and Pompeii they are marvels on their own but it's nice to see how both sites gives you an insight how they were at the time. I was only there in April '23
So glad you also got to see both! I hope you had better weather than we did though, although the rain at Pompeii did add to the drama and emotion of the place and what happened there. I hope the rest of your trip was just as magical! Anna
Amasing! Very well done
Hi Cliff, thank you very much for the feedback. I’m stoked that you enjoyed the video! Anna

The views are beautiful from up there and there was an amazing citrus smell from the garden filled with orange trees that still remains. Safe travels and I hope you have perfect weather.
I loved this tour guide, he was incredibly funny 😂 and knew his history very well!
I was there in 1980
I would have loved to see what it looked like back then. I remember when I went for my first time time in 2010 the underground area was closed and grass filled the floors. I hope you put a coin in the Trevi fountain to ensure your return to Rome :-). Anna
@@the5ktourists I surely threw a coin into it
Awesome! Any plans to go back?
This was one of my favourite things to do in Rome! It was most certainly a very moving experience to walk down in those tunnels and absorb so much of Rome's rich history.
Anna, I'm booked for the "Full Experience, Coloseum Underground" tour in 2 weeks. It includes entry to the Forum and the Palatine Hill. But I don't know if it includes the "Super Sites." Did your ticket include that?
