We love travel. However, looking around the thousands of travel vlogs around CZcams I noticed that too many of them are more about the person than the place.
While the person (that'll be my wife and I!) is still important in our videos, the place will always come first with Suitcase Monkey so you will see more travel and less "Hey, look at me in Rome!!!"... But honesty up front, there will still be a little of that. đŒ đ
Hopefully, this approach lets the location shine best. Enjoy.
This channel is based on the real life holidays that I pay for myself so content is uploaded as and when I have been on a well deserved break! Quality over quantity I hope is my moto!

You told me your biggest concerns about visiting Japan so this video will either give helpful solutions, or myth bust things that aren't true about Japan, and shouldn't be an issue.
We cover how much of a language barrier there actually is and how to best communicate. Japanese public transport and how to navigate, is Japan expensive and the costs of everyday activities, is Japan busy and when to visit to avoid crowds, and helping those with vegan or vegetarian food requirements as well as allergies, or people concerned they wont find an English menu. We also cover Japan itineraries, where to go, and how long to visit each area along with Cultural mistakes and what not to do in Japan as a tourist.

Where will you recommend to stay in Seoul?
Hi. Well I need to stay there firstâŠ

I really love your video. I'll be there in 1 week. I'm so excited !!!

What day did you go? I'm going on a Thursday in September on September 19, this seems insane
Amazing video:)
For anyone considering visiting Porto, I recommend that you avoid Café Majestic, as it is a tourist trap. If you are interested in a historical art deco café, that has been restored and reopened to the decor that it had in the 1920's, try A Brasileira. Also expect it to be packed with people, although, the prices aren't anywhere the entrapment you'll encounter in Majestic. Another more afordable option, albeit a bit more recent, is confeitaria do Bolhão (not as high end as the other 2 options I mentioned, but an historical café, and a quite interesting one at that). In another part of the city, you might consider also Petulia, near in Rua Julio Dinis.

Awesome! Thanks review n PDF!..safe travels sir
Please ... The universal studio video!
Great video, excellent information.
is hello mister bear online yet?
đ
Do make a video for Universal Studios! Been there a while back but the rides would be different now I suppose! đđ Very informative and easy to get through video! Thanks!
The best Canada trip video......WOWđâ€
Why are they letting so many people in?
This is so good. I visit Porto next month as planning to move to Portugal/Spain in 2025 - this will help so much. Is there a "buy me a coffee" link or something similar?
Thank you. The best way to support the channel (at no cost to you) is to book a hotel or trip through one of the links in the description which gives us a small kick back. Otherwise thereâs a monthly Patreon option with some extra perks. But itâs the thought that counts either way! Thank you
This is EXCELLENT. I`ve lived in Tokyo for 7 Years and will send this onto friends when they next visit Japan. (PS: I got hold of your channel when watching your Porto - 4 days? - video. Will comment there as well).
Thank you. And welcome to the channel
Another great video. Would love to see Universal
Thanks. Universal guide is out on our second channel czcams.com/video/zYWVNDCuVis/video.htmlsi=DCU2qvx5rJoiaC0t

The most sane Disney adult
Fantastic video on Japan! To buy cigarettes from those vending machines, you need a specific ID card called "Taspo," short for "tobacco passport," to prove your legal age. However, anyone can buy cigarettes and alcohol at convenience stores without any ID. Come visit Japan again!
I love your blog its so nice and beautiful đ
Iâm going to Jordan in October & omg!!!!!!!!!!
Such a beautiful video! This place looks magical!!!
In my Japan trip I think I liked USJ better than Disney Sea. The rides were more exhilarating and shorter wait times. The waits are so long for the kid rides at Disney
I had the same takeaway ultimately
Thank you both videos are very helpful I have been to Barcelona many times and not visited some of these places. â€
Glad you enjoyed
super!!!!

Can you please explain The Ce La Vi rooftop Bar hack in detail. Can we book online or direct? online it shows 400 dollars T_T please help
Yikes. Iâve just had a look. First to say itâs the Skybar that is the best option. The Lounge is the one with the 400 dollar spend (but this is contracted elsewhere on its page where it says cover charges are only on certain nights but it seems that isnât the case. Looking at the site at the moment, it seems you canât book the Skybar currently but it does work on a walk up basis so that might be best. There is a WhatsApp option on there to double check with them though.
,please and please be careful about natural disaster in your country but i wish you are fine and have a nice day with peace and have a good healthcare and going an oher country and no death in your country
This was the best video ever. No monologue for 5 min with lame joke while looking directly at the camera helps a lot. On top of that I guess you just have a good taste (not having 10 min of video wasted on arcade shooting basketball) and enough shots of food without overdoing it. In general you guys did a great job. Thank you a lot. If you come over to Calgary I will be happy to take you to dinner.
đ” great video. Super helpful and funny
Glad you enjoyed it
I can't get over the fact that there are grown people who visit a Disney park without bringing any food. There's literally nothing to like: quality is low, price is high, wait is long. I don't get the appeal at all.
Itâs more I canât be bothered to carry stuff around. Also, before this, Iâve been quite happy to take a rest and eat some cooked comfort food. So thatâs why.
