I just got to the airport and I am flying somewhere today I don't know where this week
I'm taking the cheapest flight abroad three times in a row and I have no idea where I'm
gonna end up here are the rules I booked the cheapest flight abroad I can find the evening
before departure I have to spend two nights in each destination I'm only allowed to spend
£200 per destination including flights and accommodation and I'm not allowed to repeat
countries I'll be using kiwi.com to find and book all of my flights they have very kindly
agreed to sponsor this video but I've been using them for years finding the cheapest
flight is pretty easy I set my destination as anywhere and then store the flights by
cheapest here are the results that came up today so this is no spoiler.com check billions
of flights every single day and they have amazing prices so they're the perfect partner
for this video okay today is the day here's my backpack that is literally everything that
I packed for an entire week and I obviously don't know where we're going this week so
I tried packing for all sorts of weather but I probably messed up even when I know where
I'm going I'm one of those people that always packed the wrong clothes it's my little carry-on
that's where the camera is gonna go go in and we're gonna go catch a train to the airport
for this first destination I've decided not to tell you where I'm flying until we're at
the airport instead I'm gonna do it as a little quiz see if you can guess it by the time we
get to the airport let me know in a comment below if you got it right I found a flight
here on kiwi.com for £12.99 the country has four Nobel Prize winners in literature and
has the most Eurovision winners and it's the only country in the world with a musical instrument
as its national symbol all right I've made it to the airport and the quiz is now over
I'm about to give you the ends but first i'm going to post my stories because I'm going
to be doing a lot of hauls over on my Instagram which you can find right here
and the answer is
and it's a Dublin well the weather has taken a turn hence the Hat as you know I only have
two nights here in Dublin but luckily I am well trained and all things rained after 10
years in the UK so we're gonna go explore all right I've made it to those it's been
a while since I stayed in the door there's no one here when I arrived but I think all
the bets are taken so this is a female six bed I've unpacked some of my things over here
just so I can easily access them when I get back in the evening and now I'm gonna head
straight back out by the way this is what I call my Michael Moore outfit and I hope
you like it because I don't really have anything else with me so we're gonna be saying this
the entire week look it's sunny again the weather's very confused to make the trip more
interesting you already know that I've got a budget of 200 pounds per destination including
flights and I have also planned a set of four challenges that I will have to complete in
every place eat a local dish have a traditional dessert by book by a local author and learn
about an interesting woman from the country's history so let's go take off the first
one [Music] [Applause] [Music]
as you know I have four challenges to take off in every destination and I managed to
do one of them last night and that it's eating the natural dish so of the remaining three
this morning I want to take off having something sweet [Music] and then for my next activity
I put up a poll on Instagram and it was either taking a stroll in the rain or going to Trinity
College and luckily you guys go to Trinity College because it's not raining anymore so
I literally couldn't do it and here is the entrance I'm having a budget traveler dilemma
I'm inside Trinity College it's really beautiful it's got these huge grounds there are loads
of people walking around about 95 of whom seem to be tourists um and it's really really
beautiful but entry to the library which is the main spot here €18.50 that's so much
money to put another poll on Instagram just so I don't have to make the decision myself
there's alternate and you guys have maybe spent €18.50 on a ticket to go to the library
but I'm not mad about it
[Music]
if you would like to save money one of my followers sent me a cool little hack the students
here are allowed to take up to three people if you manage to befriend a student for free
speaking of free I just found this Gallery I'm just gonna go have a look please I'm gonna
put up another poll and I'm either gonna go to a Bookshop or I'm gonna go grab some food
all right luckily we've got enough votes for bookshops so I can take off my next challenge
so I found some really good books there but because we're on our 200 pound budget they
will save so I'm gonna try and find some secondhand bookshops I did find this one
[Music] the incredible Not only was the Bookshop amazing as you saw I got this i got this for
two Euros it's Irish writer I don't really know anything about him and the reviews on
Goodreads were were mixed but you know what sometimes I like that because it feels like
a challenge
that was lunch and as soon as I left it started like the heavens opened it's it's hard to
show you like it's so incredibly wet so I'm gonna go hide somewhere it stopped rain but
I don't trust it
this actually worked out really well because there are two things I want to get and I'm
pretty sure I can find them here
as it turns out one of my friends is in Dublin right now and we're gonna meet up and I love
traveling solo that's that's literally all I ever talk about but sometimes it's nice
to have company so I'm really excited
Cheers Cheers so we've left the pub and I'm about to drop off Jess for her bus back home
and I've got the Kiwi app here and I've typed in Dublin to Europe tomorrow's date I'm gonna
hand it over to Jess she's gonna search oh my God I'm scared I think it's already it
probably is okay it can't be somewhere even before and it can be the UK and it can be
Ireland okay Jess where am I going you are going to
Versailles in France
there we go there we go I'm just leaving till like 7 P.M tomorrow Apple pay that's nice
and easy okay Jess is on that bus and I am going to Marseille but I'm not going till
7 P.M tomorrow so I've got loads more time in Dublin which I'm actually really excited
about it's my last day here as you know I have a 7 PM flight to Marseille and I'm trying
to make the most of my day because I do basically have almost an entire day here so I am gonna
put everything up to about on my stories there's only one challenge left to complete in Dublin
and that is finding an interesting woman from its history and Ireland has no shortage of
fascinating female figures so I was a little bit overwhelmed I spent the day exploring
various museums where I kept encountering more and more of them but in the end I chose
a lady whose statue I had noticed in one of the local parks her name is Constance Markovich
and she is a Dublin politician suffragette and the first woman elected to the Westminster
Parliament that's her and before we go here is exactly how much I spent in Dublin I was
gonna walk but I'm gonna get an Uber from the station because not loving the vibe
good morning from Marseille it's currently 12 p.m and I'm still in my Airbnb partly because
I'm tired but partly because I've been feeling a bit anxious today um as a silly traveler
I'm pretty sure a lot of us will relate to this sometimes you just don't feel like going
out there and like having that level of energy that is required when you're traveling solo
but I am making myself I've got four challenges to complete while I'm in Marseille and um
and I am really really excited to see the city so um yeah I could add about two minutes
ago and almost immediately this man came up to me and he said are you lost and I said
I don't I don't think so I mean I'm not going anywhere I'm just I'm just walking around
all of this happened in French by the way and Japan anyway he said down the road that
I was walking on he was like the only thing that's on that road is my house in a friendly
way like he was just laughing he was like there's nothing to see um go the other way
anyway you know that France often gets a bad people say that French people are unfriendly
sometimes in Paris they can happen but I don't know everyone's been really really nice to
me I've read that Marseille is the sunniest place in all of France with 300 days of sunshine
every year and look it's been delivering I'm very very impressed especially after London
and Dublin I've been walking around for about half an hour so take us with a grain of salt
but Marsha is incredible and it's not a place I necessarily would have come to if I wasn't
doing this weird challenge I never wanted to chip in I would like one of these just
put up my first pull of the day on Instagram deciding whether I should stick with the city
or go to an island nearby now I didn't know this island existed but yesterday I got very
lucky when I was on the bus from the airport I sat next to this really nice Danish man
who was on holiday here with his wife and he gave me so many tips and one of them was
this island I used to do more research on this but I think it's Where The Count of Monte
Cristo may have been imprisoned I'm giving the vote some time to accumulate and I need
to get food because I got a very light as you know and I'm very very hungry let's revise
the rules we need to get something sweet we need to get a main we need to get a book and
I need to find a cool woman from history and I think I'm gonna take up none of them with
the smell but Morse is incredibly diverse it has a huge Algerian population there are
loads of people from different parts of Africa North Africa predominantly there are loads
of people from the Middle East and so we're going to try one of the local Cuisines the
food was amazing but I'd feel physically sick and where those people that hate not finishing
their plate like I feel like I'm being rude which doesn't make sense to be getting your
pants with the money sorry you're paying for the food literally brain fog from how full
I am um and I had to put this on because I felt very uncomfortable in my crop top but
we are now walking toward the Old Port because the people have voted and the people voted
for the island thank you so much and while we explore the island let me tell you about
my woman of history for this destination which was a lot harder in Marseille than in Dublin
I've made it to the island incredibly one day I'm not sure you can actually hear me
but I found this wonderful painter who was born in Marseille in 1899 into a family of
Architects sculptors and artists she's not particularly well known but that is exactly
why I was a teacher thank you
I'm heading back to the Airbnb and today has felt like an amazing but very very long day
I'm absolutely exhausted and I was looking at my health set and I realized I've been
walking like 20 000 steps every day so I guess that's not too surprising I just wouldn't
go to sleep so I have bought a few groceries I might just have a little picnic in my Airbnb
room I'm gonna go up and we're gonna figure out where I'm flying tomorrow
time has come to book my third flight my final mystery flight can I just say it's been so
liberating traveling with literally just a backpack because it means the prices that
I see on there are the actual prices that I need to pay and I've looked at the results
but are they sorted by cheapest they are sorted by cheapest in which case in which case I
know exactly where we're going and um and I I am very excited maybe we'll do one more
quiz on the way to the airport the fight is officially booked and the one thing I can
tell you is that it doesn't leave until 11 15 pm tomorrow so I basically get a whole
other day in Marseille
[Music] I'm fully checked out let's see I got all my luggage on me the main station
here by the way and this area is really really nice
[Music] okay lunch was really nice but as per usual I over ate I think here in Marseille
the portions are really big where I've been getting lucky with the restaurants I was choosing
I don't know what it is but every time I leave a restaurant I feel completely stuffed anyway
part of the reason why I'm panting is the fact that my gut is overflowing that's disgusting
um and the other part of the reason is that I'm going up a steep hill to see the nothing
for you there's only one challenge left to complete before I leave Marseille and that
is choosing a local work of literature now I'd always wanted to read this book by Albert
Camus who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1957 and this seemed like the perfect place
to do it because the story is set in Algeria and Marseille happens to have a huge population
of algerians that at least 150 000 people as for Destination number three here are some
Clues it's a popular spot for cyclists and hikers but also for teenagers going to go
on a trashy holiday and it's been inhabited since 7000 BC okay morning from Majorca this
is my final destination not like the horror movie and I got very very lucky didn't I in
fact I've ended up in America is actually pretty special because I'm pretty sure it
was the first place I ever visited when I was two with my parents I do have my four
challenges to accomplish obviously so that's gonna come first
foreign [Music] people doing and I thought well that's them surely I couldn't do anything
like that and um here I am and it's it's been absolutely fabulous it's been one of the coolest
little trips that I've ever been on probably um and I have just sticked off another thing
I got um a local Suite called enzymala which is a really traditional pastry I've made it
back to the hostel I have required my camera and I'm changing to go to the pool and okay
this is kind of whatever but um I didn't want to go to the pool because I haven't shaved
my legs in sometime and then I just thought about it and that is so dumb that is such
a shame to stop yourself doing things you want to do and for what the fear that some
random stranger at the pool is gonna look at my legs and not like how they look what
do I care this is the dorm by the way and I think it's actually really really good it's
kind of like a little room sorry it's such a mess you've got these curtains that you
can pull across on suede bathroom here that's the shower which is actually incredibly nice
and as I mentioned there is a pool upstairs so let's let me finish getting ready on that
note let's talk about my woman of history in this case very recent history Margarita
Salas she is one of Spain's most respected scientists responsible for the most profitable
pattern in the country's history and shortly before her death she was awarded the 2019
European inventor award and raised into Spanish nobility this is more so I think it's gonna
be hard to take off number four in person I'm probably gonna get an e-book I did just
find a Bookshop with a one Euro book then but um yeah no no thank you and just to implicate
me I do say that from experience because I have read it I did manage to find the perfect
book written right here in Majorca but not by a local Robert Graves was considered one
of England's greatest poets and he was among the first British citizens to move to the
island and this is his most famous book and that is a wrap on the final challenge of this
entire trips for him here America and I'm on my way to the airport her support says
right now because I'm very tired but um I have had the actual best week I what an adventure
I'm super super grateful to kiwi.com for sponsoring this video go check them out because they
make it really easy to find and book affordable flights even last minute ones as you saw in
this video and for them to see people completing challenges like this one thanks for watching
