  • Hi everyone! I’m back with another travel vlog for you today!
    I thought it would be fun to find the cheapest overnight city break I could out of London for a night. After some researching the cheapest I could find including travel and accommodation was the wonderful city of Bristol!
    This video contains a review of travelling by Megabus from London Victoria - Bristol & what it’s like to stay in the YHA Hostel.
    I loved exploring this vibrant city & will definitely be back. Hope you enjoy!

    You have to be one of Britain's best ambassadors!! This time, you presented how much you can see and learn on a limited budget. I love how you can just step into the shoes of an average Joe and be comfortable, no matter where you go! Kudos!

    about megabus-you even can have it free if you have tescocard and convert your vouchers to tikckets.I`m in Scotland,near Glasgow and had few journeys in past going from Glasgow to London overnight and me and my daughter had return tickets for free

    My son went to New York and stayed in a YMCA and he thought it was really good. He found being on his own he made friends easily. He also went to Croatia and did the same thing. He's in his 40s so not a teenager. Loved your vlog again. Xx

    Great value trip, I like the idea of just jumping on a coach somewhere, to see something different. Lots to see there in Bristol it seems. Would be good to see some other affordable getaways. Thanks 👍

    Bristol is good choice Mr C. Lots to see and do. I live in Exeter and have family who live in Bristol. I visit often and love it. They also do the same thing with me in Exeter. We haven't got a big suspension bridge over the Exe, but we do have a little walking bridge...locally we call it the wobbly bridge as legs really do feel wobbly. 😅

    I lived in Bristol in the 60's as a child before moving to Weston-super-Mare. After leaving school I worked in the centre of Bristol at what is now a Holiday Inn, but was then the TV Licence Records Office. Even in those days (1979) the docks were still fully working as docks. I used to pass the SS Great Britain twice a day on the bus. In those days it was just starting its restoration journey. Have been back fairly recently, and will be going again in September where I shall be able to see Concorde.

    Glad you packed earplugs and eye mask. I always take some with me when I travel. The return tickets are so cheap. I do like the YHA chain. They're lovely and cosy, excellent value for money too. I am amazed at how cheap your night away was.

    Hi There Iwan! that was an interesting insight into hostels! and a great price, if you just want a cheap night away traveling across the UK it's brilliant and great experince, especially if you are young. Not sure my cup of tea at 65 but interesting to see what is avaialable out there, and would have been okay in my youth I daresay. You learn something new every day watching your Vlogs! thank you x

    Looks like a fun little break. We used Megabus about 12 years ago to go to New York City (6 hours away) and it was great, the price was way cheaper than what it would have cost us to pay tolls and try and park. The only part we didn't like was where we had to catch the bus out of NYC, it was in the early days and they really hadn't come up with a great system just yet.

    @kkatmom Před 19 dny

    Such a lovely vlog Iwan.
    I’ve used Mega bus here in the states when traveling to visit my family. This was when my knee was so bad, prior to knee replacement. I just couldn’t do the drive. So it was convenient and inexpensive to visit my family.
    It’s about a six hour drive. Most times I paid under $4- usually $2. If I reserved a seat an extra $1.
    The buses weren’t always the most comfortable, however, I would say for the money I didn’t mind!
    I really enjoyed this format of doing inexpensive local trips. Well done!
    Enjoy your Wednesday
