Our longest video yet!!! We thought about splitting this into two videos but decided to keep it together! Let us know what you think and thanks for watching 👍🙏
Exploring new countries is such a rewarding experience! For first-time travelers, I'd recommend considering destinations that offer a mix of cultural richness and natural beauty. Personally, I've been fortunate to travel to over 10 countries thanks to careful budgeting and smart investments.I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 2 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future..
Alright, speaking in general terms, investing requires a good amount of knowledge. That's why it's essential to have a solid support system like a financial counselor, especially when picking out assets. I've been working with Regina Louise Collaro, who is an investment advisor at a registered wealth management company. I can't recommend her enough; my financial journey has been fantastic thanks to her. She's quite well-known for her services, and she helped me achieve financial stability through investments. Now, I benefit from her passive income strategies every month. So, I'd strongly suggest finding a reliable investment advisor for yourself
Regina Louise Collaro is based in the United States and can work with anybody wherever they stay. If you would like more information on reaching her, you can conduct a search online.
personally, I'm blessed and realizing I'm not the only one working with Regina Louise Collaro. I will consider myself lucky. I've been able to feed and make a living through her advice and great work. For such a person as Regina, I owe her gratitude, support and endless prayers as it is not easy to gain access to such a competent and reliable adviser. Who isn't just wise but has all it takes to handle an investment and is good at what she does..
Thanks vicahmed.I have had the intentions of starting investing. But I always thought it was late and I think I need to stop procrastinating. I will definitely 🔍 Regina Louise Collaro and see what she can advise .Thanks a lot . This was of so much help to me
Beautiful places. Thanks you for sharing. Stay safe.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!!!
Thanking for sharing stay safe ❤
Great one and like long vlogs! Glad coming along to see your next countries up to the 30th👏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much!!!! Italy is next 👌🏻🇮🇹
Wow I really enjoyed the video
35 minute video?! LETS GOOO! Time to grab some popcorn.
Haha love the stoke! Thank you!
Amazing! Great video! I feel like I've been to Dubai myself))
Thank you!!!
What a wonderful trip!! Taylor you were so polite to those hagglers, I wouldn't have so much patience! Very interesting to see Dubai, great job on the video :)
Thanks Yula!!! They were all very nice
i love the videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Reed!
Great video Dubai is a dream. Wife and i always add to much to the list. Haha its a problem. Was that a sideways elevator? Wow that glass floor 😅 the whole city seemed to just show up crazy how they do it so quickly. The night shots look pretty epic.
We were in Dubai in 2014, stayed at the Haytt. Did the mall, the Burge Kalafia at sun set and then the fountain show, yes it was amazing. But the highlight of our trip was the desert safari, we were in 4wheele drive vehicles in the middle of the desert then a dinner, drinks and camel rides. Did Traylor buy any silk scarves while there, my wife must have bought 20+. Will return again sometime and stay in Marina City.
Yep Taylor did buy a scarf! Haha such a fun place!
We enjoyed watching your treks through the mall and along all the vendor street shops, but alas no WaWa to be found... so sad! 😂
Did you buy either of the head wrap scarf turbans? We would have....
Dune bashing looked awesome! We still prefer when one of you are doing the driving. As in the episodes along the road that lead to Nine Palms
along the East Cape of Baja or the road to Flora Farms!
Dubai Frame and sand boarding segments were great. Too bad time did not allow for you to explore the marina area a bit more..
Overall a great visual journey... NICE JOB!
Thank you Leo!! Really appreciate it!
We didn't see any Wawa's, haha but the tea in Dubai is really good!
We didn't buy the headwrap scarf but Taylor did get a different scarf. Dune bashing is really fun if you're in Dubai be sure to do that!!! Not sure if we will be making it back to Baja unfortuantely
You should have told us you were coming here, we would gladly have taken you around! We love visitors. Been here for over 20 years. But now building a van to travel Europe, if we can get there...
Haha sorry! Wish ya saw us on insta while we were there!
Looks like an amazing trip guys! Cool kids always sit in the back 😉🤣 The tea shop would totally be our jam!
Greg would have a field day in those markets!! Haha
Ohhhh yeahhhhh Portugal represent.... Mal ouvi o nome Inês e Patrícia deu logo pra ver que eram tugas...altamente
Great video, couple questions. How difficult was it driving over there? Same as US? Was it pricey for the excursions you took and meals? Any language barriers?
Thank you!!! Driving was simple just like the US, lots of traffic though. Desert safari wasn’t bad 100 bucks If I recall? Everyone speaks English, we are very fortunate for that 👍🏻
Wow what a fun packed episode. What a beautiful country. Looking forward to next weeks one x
Yes it was Michelle it was a blast! Thanks for watching!
Wosome
was this recorded before dubai expo 2020 opened oct 1st?? that's a bucket list event!
Yes it was unfortunately!
Such a beautiful futuristic city! Curious you didn’t show or discuss much the restaurant food you ate. How was it and what did you have? And what about prices at the restaurants and the Mall and market? Do they serve alcohol at the restaurants?
The one restaurant Open Time Market we weren't allowed to record, then we only had dinner at the Dessert Safari which was a large buffet which was included in the tour, the food was delicious. For breakfast we ate at the hotel since we get it free with our status. Alcohol is served at restaurants depending on where you are. Hope that helps!!
Great video. Btw Friday for Muslims is like Sunday for Christians so you’ll find everything either closed or half open.
Taylor at (28:53) - "I HAVE A SMALL HEAD" 😂😂😂😂
Haha!
Carvings up the dunes is my kind of fun.
Looks like the 2 of you were checking out all the sites.
Definitely a thumbs up 👍
It was a blast Jackie! Thanks for watching as always!!!
Great video, which company did you use to rent car and was it difficult driving there?
Hertz! Nope it was easy!
Looks like you all had a great time! I was able to visit Dubai during my time in the Navy, although my accomodations weren't as nice as yours 😂
It was a amazing I would definitely go back, maybe in a cooler month though haha it was hot!
@@MathersOnTheMap haha I bet!
man its so impressive to see how vast the dessert is! Great video as always guys
It really is! Thanks for watching TJ!
what credit card do you use to get all of these points?
We have a bunch of different ones but, chase sapphire, Amex plat, and citi premier card!
pro tip (lived here for 30+ years) : Dont visit a desert city in the summer. Visit during winter, you'll have a better time in dubai.
Oh no 😵I'm going to dubai August 7th
You guys are the best! So here are my thoughts on todays video…. 1). I wonder why NJ / NYC can’t upgrade our infrastructure like this. 2). How outdated is NYC compared to this playground!?!! 3). Is it safe for Americans? Were there any issues that weren’t on film that made you both feel unsafe?
Thank you!!!!
regarding your thoughts...
1. we wonder that too! I am guessing it's the "don't fix it if it's not broken" mentality (who knows)
2. right!
3. Yes very safe we felt incredibly comfortable. Not going to lie we were on edge a bit when we first landed and went through customs and the airport. But that's just because it was a culture shock not because anything bad happened. The people are incredibly nice and welcoming. Drone's are not allowed in Dubai though if you have one.
Is it safe? Really? No wonder Americans are the laughing stock of the world.
This looks like a fun trip! Really enjoying your videos so far. Don't know if anyone else commented this yet (I didn't see it) but that first performance at 21:21 is a whirling dervish. I spent a lot of summers in Egypt and they have the same performers there. Friday is Prayer day, so typically places can be closed for the day or at least a portion of the day. UAE weekend is Friday/Saturday and most people have Fridays off so places will be much busier, especially with locals on those days.
Thank you Laura and thank you for the insight that makes sense! We are at the marina on Friday night so we were surprised how empty it was. maybe due to the heat???
Great video as always! Friday in the Middle East is similar to how Sunday's are (or used to be) seen in the Western world. (Traditionally Christian cultures have Sunday as their day of rest/worship - in Islam that day is a Friday).
Awesome thank you Adrian! We have so much to learn about the middle east
Keep it up guys, great work, we'll join you on international travel once we're done with vanlife, let's meet up somewhere in Southeast Asia next year 👋
thank you! that sounds good!
We like the longer videos! I (Tyler) have always wanted to hit up Dubai since I’m a huge sports car fanatic haha so loved seeing those! By far our favorite part of the video was the emotional support Brad Pitt in the bathroom 😂😂😂 great video guys!
Hahaha Brad Pitt was very pleasant. We thought we’d see more crazy cars though to be honest
What is points?
Hotel points! Basically frequent flyer program points and miles. Every major hotel chain and airline have them!
@@MathersOnTheMap hey you I’m still watching your video at 14.52 fastest response I’ve ever experienced in my life. Save travels love your work
Haha! Love it thanks Danny!
THAT PLACE MIGHT BE OKAY IF YOU WANTED TO BLOW SAY 10 MILLION ON AN ENTERTAINMENT AND SHOPPING TRIP, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT BUG ME ABOUT DUBAI, I'VE HEARD THEY PAY THE LABOR ON THOSE BUILDING PROJECTS LIKE A DOLLAR A DAY, I'D BE CURIOUS HOW THAT WORKS, WITH THE UNIONS IF ANY AND SO ON AND THEY'VE ALSO GOT SOME STRANGE ANTIQUATED LAWS WHICH ARE KIND OF SCARY.
ANYWAY, I WONDER HOW THEY HANDLE SHOPPING, DO YOU JUST PLACE AN ORDER AND DO THEY HAVE SHIPPING CHOICES FROM THE STORES, BECAUSE LUGGING THAT STUFF AROUND WOULD BE CRAZY, I'M GUESSING SHOPPING MALLS IN THE US HAVE ALSO WORKED THAT ISSUE OUT
I’m not sure if you can ship anything or not, probably ya can from places in the mall but definitely not the souk markets!
Sandalwood is facing extinction world as old forests are being decimated congratulations on helping it on its way to oblivion. And would anyone enjoy tearing up sand dunes that over many hundreds of thousands years old and contain unique fauna that are also on the verge of extinction. Welcome to fun in Dubai 😢
hey lbh111142, thanks for the comment. If you watch our videos then you know we are not excited about the exploitation of anything for money, which is the main reason we did not ride the camels and feel very strongly about protecting our environment.
I am not familiar with sandalwood, however, we didn't buy it so we did not "help decimate it to oblivion". I do appreciate you bringing this to light though because it's always good to be aware of what consequences things have when consuming something.
R u under dressed
Watching you mess about with your masks is so irritating - just wear them properly 🤦🏻♀️
Dang…Why does it irritate ya?
@@MathersOnTheMap I guess as an emergency services worker who's lost friends and colleagues through no fault of their own, it seems disrespectful to see members of staff take precautions to keep you safe, but for you not to reciprocate.
@@user-st6ui7oy1p disrespectful? Taylor is literally a med-surge nurse on the hospital’s Covid floors at home. You’re getting irritated that we take our masks off to talk to you on the camera while being aware of our surroundings? Give me a break.
I’m sorry for your losses I don’t wish that on anyone but this initial comment is completely unnecessary and silly.
So unoriginal. At least try showing something that hasn’t already been shown a thousand times.
🥸 Dang mate! Hope you have a better day tomorrow 🤙🏻
