Things to do in Nevada Travel Guide | USA Road Trip 2017 Video Transcript:
Our trip began in Las Vegas, but having already been there before, we wasted no time on the Strip. After a short night’s rest, we grabbed a hearty breakfast, hopped in our rental car, and hit the road for our first stop of the day: Lake Mead.
Hoover Dam is one of the most visited attractions in Nevada with as many as 1 million people taking the tour every year, and even more driving across the dam.
Fun fact: there is enough concrete in Hoover Dam to build a 4 foot wide sidewalk around the Earth at the Equator. That’s a whole lot of concrete!
Kayaking in Black Canyon was the highlight of the day. We lucked out with blue skies, calm waters, and the scenery was pretty spectacular - especially once we entered the canyon.
Halfway up stream we took a break from kayaking and went on a short hike.
We also stopped at the Emerald Cave, which gets it’s name from the bright emerald green colour reflected in the water.
We had an hour’s journey to reach the Valley of Fire that morning, and it was a very leisurely drive down some scenic stretches of road. We knew we were getting closer to the park when we noticed the landscape colours started becoming more saturated.
Once we entered Valley of Fire State Park, the fun began. This park is known for its rock formations, panoramic vistas, and hiking trails, so there was no shortage of things to see and do.
Back on the road, we hit our first stop on the ET Highway: ET Fresh Jerky! This is an alien-themed shop selling everything from martian soda to alien sunglasses, so we used this as an opportunity to load up on snacks.
After stopping for photos at the ET Highway marker which is covered in stickers, we journeyed on to the Alien Research Centre, which is pretty hard to miss considering they have a giant metal alien standing guard on a hill.
Out front, we spotted a UFO-towing pick-up truck and a green alien welcoming earthlings, while inside we were surrounded by Area 51 warning signs and all sorts of alien-themed souvenirs.
And then it was time to turn around, drive back to Vegas, and fly back home,.
A surprise addition to our Nevada travel guide was visiting Red Rock Canyon, which is just a 20-minute drive from the Vegas Strip.
Our final thoughts? There are way more things to do in Nevada than just Las Vegas and we’re glad we got to experience a mix of nature and quirky attractions on this mini USA road trip! If you have any other suggestions of cool things to see and do around the state, feel free to leave your recommendations in the comments below.

what happened to tulum?!?
We visited Tulum 6 months ago. When we came back, it was obvious something had changed for the worse.
►Subscribe to our channel:
In today's Mexico travel video, we are in the Pueblo Mágico of Tulum, Quintana Roo. It's one of our favorite places we've visited in Mexico so far. When we made travel videos here last time, they included Coba ruins, the Tulum ruins, cenotes, jungle adventures, the beach, and lots of delicious Mexican food.
This time, we had some unexpected issues pop up. Maddie deals with the worst haircut of her life and we make an unplanned trip to Playa del Carmen. We once again eat some incredibly tasty Tulum food. We check out a Tulum beach club with drink specials and a spectacular view—even though we got rained out, it was quite a fun time! And finally, we talk about what happened to Tulum since we were here 6 months ago. There are some scams tourists should be aware of that are plaguing this Pueblo Magico.
What do you think about what these businesses are doing? We think it's incredibly wrong and gives Mexico / Mexicans a bad name.
----OUR MINI GUIDE TO TULUM, QUINTANA ROO----
WHERE TO EAT IN TULUM
1. Fonda Huauzontle - Order the Poblano Omelette and you won't regret it!
2. Mulberry Project (The Zebra Hotel) - We enjoyed going here on 2-4-1 Tuesday where the drinks at the bar are discounted. Although the food is slightly more expensive than in town, the views and beachy atmosphere can't be beat!
3. Burrito Amor - We absolutely loved our stuffed-to-the-max burritos with their gluten-free coconut tortillas.
4. Malquerida - This is one of our favorite restaurants because they have huge portions for decent prices AND swings to sit on while you eat.
5. The Good Burger - This restaurant is on the main street in Tulum. The vegetarian burger is the best burger (whether with meat or not) that I've ever had! You can even get it with a gluten-free bun.
6. Thai Tulum - Here, you can find excellent thai food right off the main drag in Tulum. We loved the Red Curry with a bit of added salt.
7. Azafran Tulum - They have a great little garden area at this restaurant where you can enjoy a big, hearty breakfast for a great price.
8. Ki Bok - The coffee at this little cafe restaurant is amazing! We also tried the chilaquiles with a rich salsa roja. You can also eat out in their outdoor garden area.
9. Cerveceria Chapultepec - For the cheapest drinks in town, you can come to this restaurant. Just watch your bill! They may try to write a bogus total that includes their desired tip without explaining that.
WHERE TO STAY IN TULUM
1. Due to how expensive the nightly costs are at the beach hotels, we recommend finding an Airbnb in town. Get $40 off your first stay with our link:
WHAT TO DO IN TULUM
1. Take a trip to one of the dozens of cenotes close to Tulum. You can snorkel and swim in the refreshing, crystal-clear waters of underground or open-air cenotes.
2. Visit the ruins nearby. We really enjoyed the Tulum ruins with a view of the ocean and also the Coba ruins which are deep in the jungle.
3. Check out the ocean road with tons of unique boutique hotels, restaurants, and shops. It can get quite expensive though, so watch out for that!
4. Take a tour. There are so many tours to choose from in Tulum. You can do paddleboarding yoga, jungle tours like Selva Maya Eco-Adventures, and everything in between. You'll never be bored!
If you're in the Riviera Maya and need a haircut, we recommend PAULA:

USA Road Trip in the Midwest | Driving from North Dakota to Michigan
Come join us for a family USA road trip as we showcase our journey driving from North Dakota to Michigan in this travel vlog. We start things off in Alberta, Canada crossing into the province of Saskatchewan and then heading south towards North Dakota. Our border crossing from Canada to USA was an absolute breeze as we were the only person in line at the border and the border control officer was very friendly.
After a long day of driving we checked into a cheap motel Super 8 in Williston, North Dakota. The following day we drove the width of North Dakota and entered into the state of Minnesota. The scenery changed from mostly farmland to more trees and lakes. Our final stop on day number two was in Alexandria, Minnesota where we stayed in another cheap motel.
After having a couple of very mediocre stays in motels we decided we'd go for an airbnb for our third night of the road trip. On day three we drove across Minnesota and crossed into Wisconsin where we stayed the night in a house in Racine.
The following day, our final day of the road trip saw us crossing more states than any other day on this trip. We stared off in Wisconsin and touched down briefly in Illinois and Indiana before spending the rest of our journey in Michigan. We came back into Canada through Sarnia at the border between Michigan and Ontario.
This border crossing was much more active than the first one but it still didn't take us long to get through. With just a few hours left we finished off by driving back home to Brampton.
Overall, it was a fantastic 14 day road trip and we covered over 9000 kilometres (5600 miles) with all of the sightseeing including for the return trip to Alberta and back home.

USA Road Trip Vlog | Driving from North Dakota to Michigan Video Transcript:
How are you all doing today? Well, I'll tell you here we are. Here we are.
I'll tell you what we're going to be doing. We have got a very long road trip (USA road trip). We drove all of the way out west from Ontario to British Columbia. Mmhmm. Now we're heading back home but instead of going back through Canada we've decided to go through the USA. Yes. Yeah. We thought we might enjoy a little change of scenery. Mmmhmm.
You know, see something different. Yep. And also like driving through the Prairies on the way to BC it felt a bit long. Yep. So thought let's see something new, something different. It is still going to take us four days but the journey is a little shorter just by a few hours. Yeah. So yeah we're going to bring you along on this little road trip. Right now we're having a little snack. Some Timmies. Our last Tim Hortons before leaving Canada. Yeah, we'll be crossing the border in Saskatchewan very soon. So exciting times.
We spent most of the day driving in Canada. We did. Who knew the border was so far away. And we crossed in through Saskatchewan. The Province of Saskatchewan into North Dakota. Yeah. And we were the only people at the border. The only people there. The border security guard was really friendly. He did his job he asked us a lot of questions but in a friendly way. Yes. And he liked the dog even though Togo barked at him. It is even what surprised me was when we arrived in North Dakota it was even quieter than Saskatchewan which is a pretty quiet province in Canada. It is very peaceful. Let's hope we get a good nights rest.
Now that we're in Michigan it is a lot more reasonable and we're heading up north. We had the option of going through Detroit but we're going to go through and cross through Sarnia into Ontario. Yeah. We're thinking there will be less traffic. And the dog is thrilled to be out going for a walk at the moment. Stretching our legs. Look at how green it is. It is nice here.
We're back in Canada!

15 Things to do in Oxford Travel Guide | Day Trip from London, England video transcript:
Good morning here in London. Today we are taking a day trip. Yes, we sure are. And we're heading off to Oxford. I mean this is obviously a destination that is quite famous. The most famous University in the world.
It is not far from London. So it is a day trip. We're really excited. We're going to film a travel guide to Oxford.
A couple of tips to keep in mind if you're traveling by bus. It is usually cheaper if you book in advance. Also, we noticed that weekdays were cheaper than weekends so we are going on a Friday today and got a good deal.
We made it. We have arrived and that was an awesome trip. We got to see London and the countryside.
Food always comes first. We're about food always. We cannot go sightseeing without a bite of food. We found a pub that is nice and cozy. We're right in the corner and this place apparently specializes in fish and chips.
The University of Oxford has no known foundation date but teaching of some form has taken place here since the year 1096 making it the oldest University in the English speaking world. Today the University is made up for 38 self-governing colleges a few of which are open to visitors.
So one of the things you can do when you visit Oxford is go around and tour the different colleges. We paid two pounds and now we're inside Trinity College.
Trinity College was founded in 1555 and it’s one of the smallest colleges in Oxford admitted just over 400 students. This college has produced some noteworthy figures, including a few prime ministers.
We also saw had a quick glance at Radcliffe College and the Bodleain Library, before continuing on to the University Church.
This is the oldest Botanic Garden in Great Britain and it was originally founded as a medicinal garden. The Garden was also frequently visited by Lewis Carroll, an Oxford mathematics professor, and the gardens were a source of inspiration for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Oxford Castle is a partly ruined Norman castle dating back to Medieval times. During the 18th century it housed the local prison, but today those same walls are home to a hotel.
So I think that is a wrap for our day trip to Oxford. Time to catch our bus. We're tired but we've done the main things we wanted to do. I hope you guys enjoyed this travel guide to Oxford and that it gives you a good idea of how you can kind of explore the city on a day trip from London. If you can come for longer because we wish we had 2 or 3 days here.
This is part of our Travel in England video series showcasing British food, British culture and British cuisine.

50 Things to do in London Travel Guide | Top Attractions London City Guide Transcript:
So Hello from London! Time for a new destination. This is a city that I haven't visited in almost 4 years. So we're both very excited to be in London. And we're going to be making a little video guide. Actually a really big video guide because we plan on showing you 50 different things to do around London.
Our first stop was Trafalgar Square. This square leads to a lot of central attractions, so it's a nice place to people watch, get your bearings, and plan out where you want to go in the city.
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the Thames. It offers a bird's eye view of the city.
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence for Britain's sovereigns since 1837. The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year.
The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Palace along with Big Ben are two of the top London attractions that dot the city-scape.
The Tower of London sits on the north bank of the River Thames.
And that's a wrap for London! Like with any mega city, it's impossible to cover all the sights and attractions you can enjoy here, but hopefully this video will give you an idea of what London has to offer.
This is part of our Travel in England series showcasing English culture, English foods, English cuisine and English people.
