good morning guys from san francisco california this is where i call home or
at least close to it i'm at the airport and we're about to go to a new country
and so we spent the last three months in brazil we had 90 days there i wanted to go back but brazil
is not the best right now as far as kovid is going so not really able to go back there are lockdowns
that kind of thing so we're going somewhere else which you will find out at the end of the video
but for now this is travel during the pandemic this is san francisco airport if you don't know
san francisco airport is a huge uh airport a lot of people will take flights to here this is a
this is a big airport where a lot of people come through and look at this
i got here a little early so let's walk the airport for a little while let's see what it
looks like see if anything is open at all and then let's get on the flight and go to our next
destination
so as you can see this once very lively place
everything almost everything is closed now and the lounges if you are someone like me who likes
to go to the lounges lounge lounge access if you have that they're closed at least in the us in
other countries they have been open but here they're pretty much closed across the board so
if you get to an airport early looking for a lounge it's not looking like it's gonna work
nice view though
so when you're flying during the pandemic make sure you check multiple times
check to see if you have to get a covered test if you have to do anything like that
make sure you get the right covet test if you have to or if the country requires it at all
uh i am going to a country that doesn't require the covet test but there aren't many of those
out there right now at all so does that give you a hint where i might be going
they are maybe the only country that doesn't require a coping test right now or
any uh quarantine in the hotels or anything like that most of the countries in the world you have
to get covert tests within 48 or 72 hours and then you have to quarantine for different amounts
of time usually ten days or two weeks so make sure you check on that even if you checked on
it two weeks ago make sure you check on it the day before your flight three days before your flight
because they're constantly updating these things so look at this i'm pretty close to my gate and
there's barely anybody here the people that you see most of these people are actually flight
attendants so it looks like there's more a bunch of flight attendants just came by
there are only a few regular people walking around
it's actually kind of nice nothing
so i ate before coming to the airport but since everything goes so fast now because there aren't
that many people here lines are no longer so going through security going through all of that took me
like five minutes at the san francisco airport to get here and get to my gate so i'm bored and
i'm gonna eat something this place is very famous here in san francisco for their clam chowder bread
bowls but i'm not gonna get that i'm gonna try a sourdough bread pizza because where i'm going
pizza is not the biggest thing around so who knows when i'll have a us pizza again
look at that that looks awesome
okay so this is really the only time you'll be taking off your mask so
i haven't seen you guys in a while all right pepperoni pizza one of my favorite meals
in the world simple but always good so this video is going to be like a look into travel
during the pandemic or at least getting on a flight going to the airport and that kind of
thing but also a little bit of like a tips video so if you're gonna get some food at the airport
and you can't get through security with your water bottle what you do is you pour out your water
and you bring just the bottle squish it up put the cap on again and it doesn't take up much room
and then when you open it up again you blow into it to blow the bottle back to the size
that it was before fill it up with the tap water and you're good to go so now i didn't have to
pay for a four dollar for water like this and i'm gonna eat and drink food so sourdough bread
if you haven't had it is exactly that it's like sour tasting bread if you haven't it might sound
weird but it's actually amazing it has like a bitterness to it a really good bitterness
that's amazing usually pizzas aren't made with a sourdough
but that is something they should start doing
and the cheese is just oozing off and pepperoni this is the best meat on pizzas
so guys i actually had a flight going to brazil i should be going to brazil right now but it just
didn't work out it's getting very bad in brazil right now still i'm going to try to go back so
let me know when things are getting better in brazil again the plan is to go to the south and
go to brasilia go do the parts that we didn't get to see while we were there for a few months
all right we're gone
and we are here finally
and then i'll tell you all about the plan
go bad flying during coverage welcome to my place for a week
after all day traveling can take this off
so i have what they call a micro studio in koyowakan mexico city so this is it i
kind of like it i don't need a lot of space we have a bed here a single person bed we have a
i believe this is an mc escher painting don't ask me why i know that a closet i can
hang up some stuff there i guess so that's nice little bathroom wow very little bathroom look
my hand takes over the whole sink hopefully there are no spiders or uh scorpions in here i think
we're all good and that is it mini fridge and another sink oh wow this is fancy alright so that
that is the airbnb tour so this place is 13 per night so that is pretty cheap if you're
gonna be looking for your own place then that is kind of the cheapest you're gonna
go and that's how you get like a micro studio something very very tiny but it gets the job done
i'm not going to be throwing around a football in here i am going to be traveling on a budget
in mexico and probably just traveling on a budget
in general while i travel which brings me to the next thing let's uh answer a little
q a i know you guys have some questions so let's get set up here and i'll be right back
okay guys it's a few days later this update is hasn't been easy to give but uh here it goes
you guys are all probably wondering where lindsay is and there's no good way to say it we broke up
it's been extremely difficult for both of us but in the end we we've agreed that it was the
right move to make if you've been following the videos for a while you will have seen
lindsay andel and all the videos for the last year uh he saw us together smiling having fun
and all of that and that was real we had a very good part of our relationship but then
a more difficult aspect to our relationship that was not easy to get past we were constantly
working on it we were trying to get past a few things um a few things that just
were in these fundamental differences between us
and it was there were just a few things we couldn't really get past and as far as our
lifestyle and the way that we're going with our lives uh it was kind of hard to picture where
we were going like our our future together because i've been doing one thing which is
travel and youtube and all of that and she only just started traveling and just wanted to travel
for a little while uh which left me changing many things uh in my life or her changing many
things in her life to fit my lifestyle either way one of us would have to change or give up
several things to make it work and ultimately we weren't sure if either one of us were willing
to give up these things that we've been working so hard for our lives have just been very different
leading up to when we met um the youtube thing was hard on lindsay uh filming all the time being
on camera all the time she had never done anything like that before uh she was just kind of coming on
to what i was already doing and just adapting to that lifestyle but it wasn't easy she liked a lot
of aspects of it but it was hard and it was hard in our relationship because we were constantly
filming and uh even when we had our tough days when we had fights and weren't getting along so
much we would still be trying to film and then i would have to edit and we didn't get as much
time just together as we probably should have because we were working on things all the time
so we still care about each other a lot we still love each other we've been talking all the time
not a single day has gone by that we haven't talked we really value each other she
is a great girl she was a great girlfriend great in many many ways yeah without getting too
personal on all the details i think that's about what i can say here so
i think lindsay is going to say something on camera as well to give you guys her side
and if she does that then here it is hey guys just wanted to come on here and film a quick update so
since returning from brazil i've been spending time in minnesota which is where i am right now
and just kind of figuring out next steps in life and spending time with friends and
family which has been great but by the time you guys are watching this you may already know that
alex and i have come to the difficult decision of parting ways and although that's been really hard
um i'm feeling at peace about the decision so for me travel was always meant to be a temporary thing
rather than a full-time lifestyle so um alex is going to continue traveling the world and
showing you guys tons of amazing things so stay tuned for that as for me i'm going to be building
a life here in minnesota i was a nurse prior to traveling last year so i'll likely be returning
to that but mainly i just want to come on here and say thank you to all of you who have been a part
of the youtube channel for the last year you guys have been amazing i didn't know that i was going
to be a part of a youtube channel prior to leaving to travel and i ended up falling in love with it
and the main reason for that is simply because of you guys i loved building that community with you
engaging with you in the comments um learning things from you so thank you so much for taking
the time to watch the videos and support us and encourage us along the way this year uh
yeah i'm leaving this year coming away with a lot of thankfulness and gratitude for the experiences
i've had it was uh quite the year not exactly what i would have predicted but i'm i'm just
so grateful for everything that i've been given and what i've learned so if you guys want to keep
in touch the best way to do that is to follow me on instagram at lindsay travel bum i would
love to hear from you guys even though i won't be traveling full time i'll still keep travel as part
of my life so i'll be posting some travel content and personal stuff as well so feel free to find me
on there just want to end this by saying thank you so much to all of you who have been there for us
along the way and i hope that you'll continue to follow alex's journey because he's going to
be showing you tons of amazing things so take care and sending love to all of you
so ultimately neither of us wanted this we wanted it to work out together but some things just came
in the way and it's really unfortunate but we both think it's probably the best decision uh
for in in the long term uh for the direction of our lives separately uh i hope you guys understand
this happens in life a lot of people go through relationships and breakups and
it happens sometimes certain things don't work out unfortunately i'm going to continue
with these videos like i was doing so i'm gonna bring you guys around the world traveling
and yeah the videos will be a little bit different without lindsay in them of course so
i think that's about it tomorrow's video should be a little more positive i'm trying to stay positive
and have a good time and show you guys
show you guys mexico for a little while um
yeah i will see you guys in the next video tomorrow from mexico
