Without question the Best travel channel on CZcams!!! 👍
Amen. So. Agree. 💜🧡💜🧡
30:14 the way the family in the front of the picture looks like they're observing the painting from the outside, while also being part of it, is just brilliant.
Gabriel, you are a citizen of the World. You should be able to travel with no restriction anywhere on earth. You truly educate people about different countries, towns, and villages, national parks. You are a unique reporter videographer, content creator. I wish you needed no visa for anywhere. I wish you could stay as long as you desire in the Shingen zone. 🧡
Hi Gabe, thank you for showing us beautiful Sardinia. We are waiting next video. Chaos
Thank you for this interesting video. The landscape of Sardinia is very pleasant and I think is ''softer'' than the one of Sicily. Watching the archeological site is a real pleasure. Sardinia has famous beautiful beaches. I hope you will be able to visit some of them.
For reference, "passo carrabile" is a phrase worth remembering. It means "tow-away zone."
@gabrieltraveler I can't believe you finally made it to Sardinia. It's sad you only staying a couple of days though...there is a lot to visit and the beaches are some of the best in the world. Enjoy it!
Looking forward to seeing the island of Sardinia, I watched the Tour de France race a couple of stages on nearby Corsica and was absolutely blown away by the beauty of that island.
The prehistoric archaeological sites are fascinating. Before Rome was even inhabited. I luv the vibe of this island the beaches are so natural clean n fresh forests are untouched no chemicals for agriculture at all!! And just so you know both Ikaria Greece. And. Sardinia produce their own natural honey from the PINE forest. This honey may be linked with living to 100 💜🌷💜🌷💜so happy you are sharing your visit with all of us.
very interesting commemt thanks
Natural and clean most of the time, except for the irreversibly damaged landscape caused by the old copper and silver mines along the Iglesias coast, as well as the NATO military testing polygons in Quirra and Teulada which are known to have caused cancers and deformations amongst the local population and their livestock. Fix that up and it would be amongst the most beautiful places in Europe, no question.
Gabe you have the best travel channel on YT and the most honest person
The pasta at the end of the video looks delicious
Very calm island
When I was in the Navy we used to pull into Cagliari for fuel at least once a month. Had some great times, but I was young and dumb and just wanted to sit in a bar all weekend. 30 years later and I want to go back and see everything I missed all those times I was there.
Go for it.
WOW what fascinating little village with equally fascinating wall paintings
Great video,that was Saint Padre Pio of Pietricina….a great man who bared the stigmata of Jesus.
Realy enjoyable Sardinia👍
Yay welcome to London, Gabriel ☀️✨🎺🥁🎺
Thanks, it's good to be back. 😊
EXCELLENT commentary and great views Thanks Mr. Gabriel - BRAVO
Hi Gabriel,
Nice to see u.
Nice vlog.
Thank u.
Keep well.
Adventure episode
Gabe, you need to return to Sardinia for sure!!
At a museum visit the other day I learned that the Sardinian was the Nuragic civilization. I had never heard of it before.
Fantastic. thanks for taking us along.
When you rent a car in Europe, do you pay attention to the company or just rent from the cheapest available? We've rented a couple of times but were always told to stick to more known companies than the small companies to avoid issues. Thanks for inspiring others to travel!
It's pretty random. I showed up at the airport, went to the rental car area and it was an absolute madhouse of tons of people crowding a large hall lined with around a couple dozen rental car companies. Where to begin? I went to one desk that didn't have a line of people in front of it, but they didn't have any cars. Then I went to another desk that didn't have any people waiting and they had a car available at a good price, so I took it. Maybe someone else can recommend a more foolproof rental car strategy. I prefer not to book them online because of possible hidden fees such as insurance. So I just call offices I find on google or go there in person and it always works out one way or another.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thanks Gabriel!
Nice
Wow! UK! 🎉
Love listening to Italian... takes me back! Thank you for sharing!!! 💚🤍❤
Love that ambiant track during the tour of the archeological site. Its nice and unintrusive and it has a sort of melancholic tone that fits the theme of an ancient civilization long gone quite well. Aphex Twin has a number of great ambient tracks like that, tracks like Rhubarb. Just perfect for looking out the window of a bus or train and just float away in to a waking dream.
Hi from Arizona. 60 degrees 7 AM
just discovered your channel 2 days ago, LOVE IT! was already in georgia, rumania, switzerland,,loved the avenches one, come from very near (bigger roman in naugusta raurica, at augst near basel, just for info) , kufstein etc. beeing ill, old, alone, you make my day with your absolut lovely videos, thank you ❤ and be blessed.
Seeing your videos for last if I not wrong, for the last 3yrs... all r beautiful ❤️ from West Bengal. Kolkata.India.
The flag of Sardegna that Gabe briefly showed in the video is very interesting. I did some research and the island has a very multi-ethnic and at times turbulent history being in a location that was crossroads on the sea. The symbolism on the flag is known as the "Four Moors" and the red The Cross of Alcoraz. The flag represents Sardinia and it's people and has varied throughout history. In 1281 AD the moors did not have bandana and had beards, on the 1370 AD flag the moors head is depicted with no bandana and no beards, in 1470 AD the Kingdom of Sardinia flag depicted the black moors with a red bandana and a gold earring in one ear with no beards, in 1642 they were depicted with white bandana and a crown at the crest, and finally the current 1999 flag they are with a white bandana.
Sardegna was ruled by many different groups and was sometimes carved up. At certain times Sardegna was carved up into 4 quarters and was part of 4 different Kingdoms at the same time. The Four Moors represent the 4 Black Princes under the Crown of Aragon. These were apparently the Princes of Zaragoza, Valencia, Murcia and the Balearics. The "black" or "negro" moors ruled Spain from the 8th to the 15th centuries establishing universities, libraries, and schools. They are credited with building the Alhambra, the Mezquita and other grand and ornate palaces. The Coat of Arms of Aragon also features the Four Moors which possibly shows a connection between these nobility. The moors ruled areas of Sardegna and Corsica as well which was also part of the Kingdom of Genoa at one period. The Kingdom of Sardinia was also a separate kingdom at one period before the uniting of Italy.
The nearby island of Corsica has a flag that shows one single black moor head. Corsica and Sardinia were once part of the Kingdom of Genoa. Numerous Coat of Arms around Europe show a moor head as a noble figure from Coat of Arms of Mandach in Switzerland -- Abfaltersbach in Tyrol, Austria -- to Sandau, Thuringia, and Bad Sulza in Germany -- to Morancé in the Rhone region of France. It seems these depictions on Coat of Arms were very common. Maybe this is a signal that the black or negro moors had a larger rulership role in the making of early-Europe. A Coat of Arms is the distinctive heraldic bearings or shield -- the principal part of a system of hereditary symbols dating back to early medieval Europe, used primarily to establish identity in battle. It is not common in heraldry to depict an enemy on your Coat of Arms. The Coat of Arms was used to show your identity.
There is also a similar depiction called the Moors of Yorkshire and a 3rd century AD inscription of Titus Flavius Varus who was a Moor ruler in Wales under the Roman Empire. He was also a Roman Senator and the prefect of Rome around 250 AD. It seems that numerous Roman generals and Senators were black or negro moors. This history of black moors and nobility seems very much disregarded in today's historical discussions but the Sardinian flag sent me into a wave of research. Sicily, a nearby island was also ruled by Black Moors at one time.

It's crazy someone else looked into this. I am about to drop a video precisely about this topic, among others. I have been working on it for months, really digging deep into the history. No one ever talks about Sardinia enough to do it justice. I admire your research.
Excellent work
On my bucket list!
🌲😎🌲happier today since seeing Sardinia.
Hi Gabriel! It's not just your videos and your little adventures that are amazing! It's also the fact that you enjoy all that food and yet you stay so lean! You certainly must have a very good metabolism! I know you walk a lot but still that is some high calorie intake. Anyway, just a different comment. Best wishes for good health and many more adventurous and safe travels! ✌
Looks really Beautiful 😍
👍👍👍Excellent. Thanks again.. Gabriel 👍👍👍☘️
Belated welcome to London and uk ..glad you enjoyed one of my favourite places,Sardinia

"The site can only be visited by escort for safety reasons, along the paths that characterize this archaeological area. In particular, the morale, the most impressive ancient structure of the site are very irregular passages. I ask you. Attention and caution Particularly on the stone stairs on the original stairs. Steps, they are quite worn by time."

Love a good sardine 🐟
great vlog as always a great watch
21:18 can tell your itching to go off exploring on your own!😂
Loving your Vlog’s 👌👌
Head for Cornwall when u hit the UK, great hikes, scenery, food and history 👍👍
***Gabriel*** oddly enough a documentary was just uploaded on You Tube, titled: The Primordial Code which starts out in Sardinia. I haven't watched it all but it looks fascinating! Maybe you'll enjoy it:)
Thanks for pointing that out. As a researcher and small channel that focuses on history myself, I will certainly look into it. I have been working on my latest video about Sardinia for months, there's just so much to learn. Thank you, fellow history lover.
I was visiting family for the past two weeks in northern Sardegna.I recommend visiting the beach Cala Spinosa. It is one of the most beautiful beaches of Sardegna. There's an easily missed, unmarked entrance down to the beach right next to the entrance of a small cliffside cafe where you park: Otherworldly rocks, crystal aquablue water, and a beautiful lighthouse all in one! Neptune's Grotto comes in as a close 2nd place, right off the coast of the beautiful town of Alghero!
With all due respect, Cala Spinosa is not in the top 50 best beaches in Sardinia, in my opinion
Hello from England 🏴 my uncle from Buenos aries Argentina got married in sardinia years ago looks like a great island aswell
The English flag is a Saint George's Cross, same as Sardinia's, more specifically the Cross of Alcoraz. I am about to drop a video about that topic. My wife is Argentinian and my grandfather was Sardinian. Cheers. 😊
❤ great 👍 video thanks❤
Just an fyi Conforama is french chain supermarket 😅
Ah, that age - old question…How to get to there from here? Really enjoy your vids. Stay safe!
Great job Gabriel as always done it nicely. Thanks
That statue outside of the church appeared to be that of Saint Padre Pio. Shia LeBeouf recently portrayed him in a movie, "Padre Pio."
I see, very interesting. Never heard of the film but looked into it, sounds like it got pretty bad reviews.
It did and I stopped watching after 20 minutes. It was filmed in such a dark matter and I mean literally no lighting. I feel the potential to show to tell the the amazing story of Padre Pio was there.@@GabrielTravelerVideos
great video Gabe, finished Langtang trek and spent a few days in Kathmandu, flying to Pokhara tomorrow. Keep up the great work
I did Langtang in May 2022. Wonderfull trek!
@@wadawads beautiful scenery and people.
Right on, lucky you. Did you have to get a guide for Langtang? You might have told me already in a message. How was the trek overall? I look forward to going back to Nepal, but not excited about trekking with a stranger and being on their time schedule.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I had a guide, but was worth it, was a bit hard, we did it in 4 days, 2 days were 10 and a half hour days, loads of mountains up and down, views and people were amazing. I got to spend some extra time in Langtang village and talk to some residents.
I would never use domestic plane in Nepal!
I've wanted to visit here for many years but it's not on many flight routes from Wales or even Bristol

Thanks for watching. ✌️

Mi Italian friend is from Sardinia amd she recomended me the best champagne in the world… Asi by tossti
If you’re going to be staying in the uk awhile I’d recommend getting out into the national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty or the Scottish highlands and isles this is where the best of Britain can be found. There is some great historic cities like bath and York but on the whole a lot of British cities are quite industrial. There’s always plenty to see in London itself in all directions like hampstead, Greenwich and Notting Hill but you’ve got to do your research beforehand or you can easily waste your time.
Geez, give him a chance - he said London and you've got him heading off to Scotland and everywhere else before he even spends 5 minutes in the place. You're like an ex of mine who wanted kids and marriage after 1 month. Ease up there buddy.
@@martinhollings well I guess as he’s been to London before few times I’m assuming he’s going to travel around. scotlands only 4 hours on train from London I’ve done the trip over 100 times. Just saying as someone from Britain it’s great to see your country explored by people you follow :) sorry if being over zealous haha.
Scotland is amazing, I was there a few years ago: czcams.com/video/i6HqVU3iAAA/video.html I've explored tons of the UK on previous visits, not planning to go on a full tour of the country this time. Just taking a break in London for a few days and then heading somewhere else.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosHave a lovely time!
@@martinhollings
I've put in my
January schedule
for Gabriel. 🤣
Weird! It was like a Ghost town, 3 people. Then in dark many people.
*Bro you had the same tour guide as me I think* 🤣 I am way behind on editing
Cool.
Gabriel could you do a vid about passport security?
When do you take it with you when don't you best place to secure it etc etc
Imagine liking sardines
I like only fried sardines
Boom
Got it.
This is definitely on my list. Once again Gabe going where few others go.
I can't believe he finally made it to Sardinia. Love that place!
Su Nuraxi a good place to start, only another 7,999 nuraghe to go! Sardinia is a megalithic island, with tombs, dolmen, alters, wells, standing stones all built by its very advanced megalithic civilisation. Stone giants were uncovered by archaeologists and are on now on display at the Cagliari museum. More murals at Orgoloso, pagan ceremonies and processions abound so lots to see and do.
Yeah he definitely did his research!
21.....late to the journey...better late than never.....
Gabriel, how do u manage to go to so many places where there are virtually no people? That old town u walked through was eerily void of humans 😂
Funny you think of those places as southern latitudes, but the average is 40 degrees, about the same as Indianapolis and New York City. Milwaukee is a bit further south than Nice France yet the latter enjoys that Mediterranean climate and Milwaukee gets cold as hell for a few weeks.
Yes, all of Europe and even North Africa is pretty far north. It's generally warmer than North America due to the Gulf Stream. When in the video did I refer to it is as being in the south?
I have always liked pointing that out to people, especially in regards to Sardinia. Nice to know there are others!
❤👍❤
Wonder where you went when you landed London, Did you fly to Africa? India? USA?
l dont know why you didnt wait an extra 30 minutes for the English speaking tour so you could understand what was being said
Hi Gabreil, what a shame you only have couple days to visit around at some point you have come back and do another visit. The mapping of what there is to see around the island is excellent, there are many locations so little time. I'm genuinely surprised you never made this trip before there is so much to see and enjoy. Those pictures of the beaches look incredible of course you're only going to enjoy so much in that brief time.
Way off topic of the location, but I always wonder about the cold food items you buy. Do you end up finishing even though warm? Or throw away?
I always wondered that too ?
@@clarkmadrosen1780 I wonder about the milk as it doesn't' look shelf stable and is left in the warm car while he walks or hikes.. He bought ham in this video and it would need refrigerating as well as the milk.
@@susiejakes3019 I guess he knows what he is doing.! I would not do it his way.
Hope this time 1st
Third.
ohhh, saturday.. so the video is coming out late... like 5 days late... so I cant recommend anything to you.. because you are probably gone..
but I know Sardinia very well...
hope you had a great time...
@@Elatenl if you know GABE.. then you will know many times he does! if not the same night the next day.. very rarely he pots 2 days later or 3.. gabe usually records that day, edits that night and uploads it before he sleeps...
Hi Gabriel ,after 90 days staySchengen ,can you go to England ? As a US citizen?
Yes, the United Kingdom isn't part of the Schengen zone. I'm in London now.
Another ancient ruins, this time from Sardinia, nice. ;) I call them as your second home, along with caves. :) I am looking forward to your next videos, also from the UK where you are heading next. Are you going more to the north (maybe even Scottish Highlands this time with Highland cows/coos?) or south to the coastal regions with some cliffs? I have been to UK (England) only once, but I can surely recommend Oxford, Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon from my visit.
😊😊😊❤
😁👍
O man o man Gab youre almost family to me i have been watching your wonderfull adventures for 7 years now, I much I would have wished to be there with you translating the italian guide for you, cheers from an italian american here in florida
GAB when you see "Comune" means municipality or the city hall thereof, and dont mind the "paso carrabile" it just means garage entrance, of course as long you dont block it
yes!
WHAT DOES SCAVI MEAN ?
Means excavation.
🚫⛏️
No dig sign.
I recommend you go and see "Hamilton" the musical when in London.
First!
Second.
Ha ha, Nice spot for a castle. Good luck to the invaders getting up here.
😂 you are just like my Texas senator Ted Cruz, born in Beautiful Canada🇨🇦 raced in yankee country The Beautiful United States of America, you are an Iberoamerican ❤ saludos. AMERICA is A CONTINENT❤
He’s in Sardinia dude 🤷♂️🤷♂️
North America is a continent. North America consists of the United States, Canada and Mexico.
@@susiejakes3019 yes you imaginary yankee world is great 👍, thank God I don't have to defend my position, latitude 0 ECUADOR , imaginary divide of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere defend me, THERE IS ONLY ONE AMERICAN CONTINENTE INDIVISIBLE, saludos Iberoamerica
Hi Gabe, How are you going to travel and make a living when the carbon credit score and the number of flights, you're allowed to take during a year become a reality? This issue will affect all of us, not only you guys who make a living traveling. Great video and the island is a paradise.
If Greta Thunberg can do it so can Gabe
I wish him all the best because he's my favorite YT-er.
Silly to take a tour you dont understand. 🇮🇹 .
⏳👀
So far Sicily more interesting...
I recomend you visit Cagliari, Alghero, Bosa and take a day cruise along the fascinating east cost of Sardinia.
I agree! Got some videos in the works for those places!
