A Generational Opportunity To See The Parthenon Without Construction?

THE ACROPOLIS. It was all over the news recently and for good reason. So we made the decision to jet over from the north of Spain on the slim chance we might see something not seen for decades. Enjoy the video!

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow, and have lived all over Scotland as well as further afield: (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am UK time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 10am)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
Mainly because I do all this myself and it takes time!
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro12 with MediaMod and my iPhone13. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
Because it’s not a holiday, it’s a job. So I need to keep moving to keep the channel as fresh and varied as possible.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
As my partner, of course I’d prefer Alicja came on every trip with me, but it’s not always possible as YouTube may dominate my life, but she has other stuff going on including studies.
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. Everything is paid for by my own hard-earned money! If anyone ever pays a trip for me, I will fully disclose it in the video (not happened yet though!)
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free (travel content is notoriously expensive). Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though, a pledge to viewers and a 35% hit on my income!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
For obvious reasons I can’t list my email address, I’m sorry.
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching, commenting, subscribing etc will always be the best way. You can of course also donate via PayPal or the little ‘Thanks’ button on the video, or go the whole hog and become a Patreon member for occasional exclusive content :)
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS/PAID PROMOTION?
Sorry, it’s not a route I want to go down on the channel, thanks anyway!
WHY ARE YOU SO TIGHT WITH MONEY?
I run this channel as a business, it’s not a holiday/vacation. So budget setting is all part of that. I spend roughly £80k on travel every year, so every trip needs to be planned to be profitable. Also, the channel is focussed on value travel, always has been always will be. It’s a strategic decision and I wouldn’t change that solely based on a bigger income.
DO YOU READ COMMENTS?
I certainly do, as many as possible. Sorry if I miss yours, I may be travelling, editing or just doing chores. The best time to catch me is a Saturday morning when a video is released. If I’m not on my travels, I’ll endeavour to sit down with a coffee and respond to comments for the first couple of hours at least (10am - midday). But bear in mind I tend to get between 1000-5000 comments on each video, so it’s impossible for me to respond to them all.
CAN I MAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR VIDEOS?
I LOVE receiving trip ideas, my comments section is a goldmine of ideas and tips, so I recommend spending some time in there!
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH INTERNET TROLLS?
They are an unfortunate side effect of being a content creator, we all get them hanging around. But it tends to come from jealousy as they still watch the videos, so I actually use it as motivation to make the most of my life :) As soon as someone crosses the line of decency though, it’s an instant block and they’ll be screaming into a void thereafter :)
DO YOU MIND PEOPLE APPROACHING YOU IN THE STREET?
Not at all, in fact I love meeting people who have enjoyed my videos, it’s always a privilege. And don’t worry if I’m filming at the time, chances are I’ll stumble over my words anyway, so you’re not disturbing me! And most ask for a selfie so that’s also no problem :)
DO YOU PLAN TO SELL MERCHANDISE?
Not something I have planned yet, but if you have any creative, unique ideas let me know! Although the thought of someone walking around with a t-shirt with my face on it should really disturb them as much as it does me!
