Hi everyone, I've not updating Telegram since forever and I still feel incredibly knew to this platform.
I truly have to learn how to use it and if it is possible to grow a following over here.

In the meantime I started a mailing list, and I was wondering if simply paste here each time.

Let's taste it out and see if there are any reactions!

Thanks for understanding,
Michele
What’s your dream?


I keep asking this question to everyone I meet, especially the youngsters that have doubts about themselves.

So let me ask to you too: what’s your dreams?

Are you actually trying to achieve it or is it going to stay just a dream?

And what’s your dream regarding this mailing list?

Would you like to receive just updates when my new videos come out (we all know the YouTube notifications fail very often) or would you like to hear some personal stories, or travel tips…

You all decide. I execute.

Thank you so much for the amazing support, and see you at the next e-mail or in the video comments!

95,000 subscribers!

Thank you, 95,000 is as many people as New York had around the year 1800, and that period marked a significant phase in the city's rapid growth, driven by its strategic location, economic opportunities!

Let’s hope the same for us and more!

Anyway, who would have imagined that last week video about crossing into Malaysia while complaining there is no ATM and therefore no way to pay for the toilet, would have performed better than the previous 10?!

Not me, even if I was clearly wishing it!

Malaysia was my big hope, because the analytics suggest that the locals love watching YouTube and especially Facebook (I’ve now started publishing all my older videos, from 2016 until today, over there too, one vlog a day, everyday!).

The analytics also suggest that I should have never went to Laos, but I don’t travel the world just to make videos, I want to experience it, and I am super glad and grateful even if we got no views.

I saved some cash, and I finally bought a new flight!

So there will be a few more videos from Malaysia, and then we start a few from Europe and then I’ll try to… It’s too early to say, but let’s cross fingers!

What about you, are you already planned for the next trip?

What if your friend has a different passport?

Have you ever thought about traveling with a friend that has a passport different from yours?

I found myself in such situations many many times, and it’s always a mess.

Sometimes I have a free VISA on arrival, and the other person needs to apply months in advance for a trip that was supposed to happen in a few weeks.

Well, in such situations I use a website/app called Passport Index

No, they didn’t pay me to tell you about it, I just think it is a great tool!

Here you can see Kenyans have a VISA on arrival to visit Nigeria, but Italians don’t.
Both Kenyans and Italians need a VISA to visit North Korea 🙂
Italians have a VISA free to North Macedonia, but Kenyans require a VISA.

Of course, don’t trust it 100%. After you find a destination that seems great for you and your friend, confirm it on the government websites!

I just applied for the Visa to go visit Russia... let's cross fingers!
Just visited a Nazi bunker and I hit my head 300 times… Germans were short!
The videos in Kaliningrad, Russia, are performing nicely!

I did lots of research before going there, and I noticed that the YouTube market wasn't as saturated as in Moscow or Saint Petersburg.

Of course, one day I'd love to go visit the Russian capital and so on, but for now my goal is simply to bring the channel back on track after I was shadowbanned in China.

PS: Russian views are not monetized, so I am trying to see if a sponsor is willing to sponsor videos set in Russia

Hi everyone, I got stuck in the middle of the anti finance bill protests in Nairobi, Kenya, and did both a livestream and video about it.
Tomorrow they'll protest again... let's see what happens!
