Harry is a legend, seemed like such a good dude!

This is the kind of video that makes me happy to be a homebody.

The blokes shouting Camera were probably Doctors and Engineers on route to the UK....

Frontpacker Ben this episode!  🤭

Hi mate! It was me that called you in Salisbury train station last week, I didn’t realise you were rushing for a connection. Thanks for stopping to say hi. 👍

The funniest part about the lady screaming on the train is that her bag on the seat beside her said “Normal”.

My wife and I have been to Brussels several times, and Antwrep and we enjoyed them both. I've been to Paris 6 times, and there are parts of it I wouldn't go to at night alone. The touristy places are nice and heavily visited, But still nice to see.

I always found France to be in hot competition with the UK for the title of most dodgy hotels.

Decades ago. Was going to France for the weekend. Got the ferry to Calais and decided to get the train to Boulogne for lunch. 90 minutes later discovered got on the wrong train and was heading to Lille! 😂 Arriving at Lille spotted the TGV and decided, we are going to Paris. Was a fun trip in the end.

That subscriber talking about India. As a Canadian, that’s gotta be one of the last travel destinations on my list.

Your subscriber Harry is a legend!

Ben, this is giving some real Kensington Philadelphia vibes

When Cat fell on the bed face first, it was an omen! Then the toilet? Yikes! Looking forward to the next video.

In 2009, my then, wife and I went on a cruise out of Amsterdam and went landed in Antwerp.  It looked like a nice clean city and people were having a good time. Right off the boat,  we jumped across the street and we each got a ticket for jaywalking. The street was about 5 meters wide and there weren't even any cars.

🤣 you guys need to start a comedy show. Someone is in the room 😂😂

what is making these countries or cities good or bad? is it the normal locals .... or people who have more recently just shown up to the country that is causing trouble....

I'm an Australian and I spent 4 days in Brussles last year and one day made a day tour to Lille. I have to say that I had a fantastic time and saw so many incredible things that I would really love to go back to Belgium. I have had constant bad luck in France, every time I go there something bad seems to happen and I have an unpleasent time in places like Paris, Toulouse, Evian and Basel but the one place where everyone was nice and I had a great time was Lille! This part of the world has some amazing WW1 history too!

Awesome video guys!! keep truckin’!!

I heard Annecy and Colmar are probably the safest cities in France from the 2026 data. It is so sad to see the state France is in.
