uh
so if you guys are just tuning into my
channel for the first time let me give
you a little breakdown
of what is happening i apologize i
look like a sweaty mess right now i have
almost
packed up my whole apartment here in
toronto this
is literally moving day but the caveat
is that i'm not exactly moving
somewhere else today i am catching a
flight
to athens greece and that is going to be
my first destination
on this incredible whirlwind journey
that i am starting of being a digital
nomad even though there is a pandemic
going on it's a long story of why this
is the right time for me but
as you guys can see my apartment
is almost empty i have a few things i
have to
throw out but that is going to be my two
carry-on bags
this fat boy is hopefully not going to
be overweight he's just
he's just a little chunky which is going
to be my check-in
and yeah we are going to be traveling in
this really crazy time so i thought that
i would bring you guys along
[Music]
today
[Music]
so it is super empty in the airport
right now
i am all checked in thankfully went
without a hitch and i do
have a guest pass for the
maple leaf lounge here in pearson but
it's in the domestic terminal
and i'm going to international so let's
see if i can make it happen
[Music]
that's
[Music]
bye
[Music]
you
[Music]
all right guys so i'm living my best
life here at the maple leaf lounge
my flight is going to be taking off in
about
an hour so i actually got another
snack bag to go got a wine got an
americano
and i wanted to give a shout out to tai
zhang
who is vicarious voyager here on youtube
who actually hooked me up with these
maple leaf lounge passes
because um i have priority pass through
my credit card which
allows me into like six lounges a year
for free
but it doesn't include the maple leaf
lounge which is the only lounge
currently open during cover times here
in toronto so a big shout out to him
and i'm going to link his channel in the
description because he's got some
amazing videos when it comes to
reviews of business class travel these
incredible lounges and is just an
all-around
really nice guy so i hope you guys will
check out his channel
and thank you for the hookup
[Music]
so
so here we are in terminal one in the
international
section and it's interesting because
actually quite a few things
are closed like yeah there's a few
restaurants
there's one duty free open but basically
everything else
is closed but yeah my flight is going to
be boarding in about half an
hour and i did hear that they are trying
to board the planes kind of
in succession of where people are
sitting so you really have to be there
in time
to hear when your zone is being called
so i'm just going to take one last
little walk
around the terminal and then we are
going to get on the plane
and it is going to be a nine and a half
hour flight
[Music]
i'm just waiting to board my flight
right now and one thing that i wanted to
tell you guys about that i don't think i
mentioned before
is that if you are going to greece and
if you hold
citizenship in a country that is
currently being
allowed into greece thankfully canada is
one of them you have to fill
out this pcr form i believe it's called
at least 48 hours before your departure
so i did mine like four or five days ago
our canada
you know gave me a sort of notification
that you had to do that
and i just received this qr code
that i'm going to have to scan upon
arrival in greece
so i'm not sure if any other countries
are doing this sort of thing but
basically the form
had you fill out the address of where
you plan on staying in greece for
the 14-day period upon arrival
right now for canadians they're not
doing mandatory testing but there is
a chance of random testing if you do get
randomly chosen
you do the test but you are allowed to
go on to your
you know accommodation your destination
and you get the results within 24 hours
it's negative obviously you get to keep
on going with your regular plans
and if you test positive the greek
government puts you
in aid ladies and gentlemen
as i was saying if you get chosen for
testing
and you test positive the greek
government will
actually pay for you to stay in a
designated
hotel as you recover or if you are in a
condition where you are really sick and
have to be hospitalized
as far as i understood the greek
government will also
pay for that treatment i think that's
absolutely incredible because as far as
i know
right now no canadian insurance
companies are covered
and lastly as far as safety measures
here in the airport
in toronto pearson i had somebody check
my temperature i had to fill out a
questionnaire if i had been sick
or denied boarding or if i had traveled
in the last 14 days
but as far as that and just having to
wear a mask i haven't really noticed
anything
too out of the ordinary it is of course
apparent that uh there's a lot of
cleaning
going on at all times workers here at
the airport are basically sanitizing
everything
all the time there's a lot of different
arrows for like social distancing
measures
and just because there isn't a lot of
people in the airport
i found that it's really easy to do all
those things
and overall i feel really safe
[Music]
so
[Music]
oh
[Music]
so
[Music]
somehow i thought that five or six hours
had passed
and in actuality it's like three
[Music]
last seven hours to go and i forgot i
still had all my makeup
on
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
you
