Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a new YouTube channel that I think you'll enjoy. It's called Sidewalk Sightseeing and it features immersive 4K walks through Kent. The first video is already up and it's a great way to experience Gravesend.

The channel is perfect for anyone who wants to explore Kent but can't do it in person. Whether you're unable to travel, looking for a fun way to learn about the area, or just want to take a virtual stroll.

The videos are shot in stunning 4K quality and make you feel like you're actually there. There's no talking or music, just the natural sounds of the environment. It's a really immersive and relaxing experience.

My fellow adventurers! What would you say is your greatest adventure you have been on? Please. Share your stories with everyone here!

My story

This happened in 2019. Some friends and I was drinking one night and had YouTube food going. One video came on advertising a sub shop in Chicago Illinois. One thing to know. My friends are all foodies. We are all fat guys. We love being fat. We love motorcycles. You know where this is going.

We all just look at each other and it was a unspoken word. KICKSTANDS UP AT DAWN!!! The next morning we get out bikes loaded up with out camping gear and hit the road! Just 4 Guys going from North Georgia to Chicago in the name of food. We didn't want to use any GPS till we got into Chicago to find the place.

Because none of us have 2 brain cells between us. Of course we got lost and decided to say "Fuck it. Full send!" and we just kept going. We stopped at just about every Gun shop, distillery, Brewery, and attraction we came across. We are on day 3 and way off course! this is when I say it. The billboard that changed everything. It read and I quote "BEST FUDGE COMES FROM URANUS!! Stop at the Uranus fudge factory for the best fudge!" This caught me off guard and I started laughing uncontrollably. My 3 friends as it and it hit them like a ton of bricks and they did the same. We all 4 was laughing so hard we had to pull off on the side of the rode. I had to run into the wood or I would have had wet pants form this. So now we all have to stop. There is no way we won't.

It took us 45 minutes to get there from out laughing brake. But we got there around 2pm that day. When we got there it was as glorious and funny as we all though it would be. The best part was. They made the jokes for us. As soon as we walked in. We was greeted by "Welcome to the Uranus fudge factory! We are packing fudge all day. We all about lost it. They got 4 bikers in there place laughing so hard we all about collapse. After looking around and having to get some stiches for our sides and our faces hurting from smiling so much. We get some fudge and get ready to pay. I was the last one in line and the women had a plane for me.

As she was ringing up my fudge and drinks. She purposely rang up the fudge last. It was peanut butter fudge. After she scans it she stops and looks as me and side "Be careful with the brown fudge from Uranus. It might be a little nutty". That was the last straw. I fucking louse it. I am on the ground barely able to pay. After I pay my friends had to drag me out of there while they was laughing there asses off. It looked like 3 drunks trying to pull even drunker drunk out of a bar. But it didn't end there.

We are all outside by our bikes and having just calmed down enough to eat. This kid pulls up close to us. He gets out and has one there shirts on. He sees us and just smiles. I look at him like please don't. Then he says "gatta get back to packing fudge". We all louse it again! We must have been a hell of a sight to see. 4 bikers in leathers with pistols on there hips outside of a fudge factory laughing so hard we are about to go in to cardiac arrest. He just kept smiling like he had won a grate victory.

After a hour and a half. We hit the road again. While we was looking for a place to camp for the night. We couldn't help but occasionally have a laughing fit from time to time. The next day we all agreed that we needed to get to Chicago that day. We found out after putting it in the GPS that we was about 8 hours away. We all got our things together and booked it.

Thanks to traffic and gas stops. We got there 9 hours latter. When we walked into the sub shop we was given a half hearted welcome. They was really busy. Being from the south. We are all very polite. It's how we was raised. When we was ordering the guy behind the counter asked where we was from. He side we was to polite and we has strong Sothern accents. When we told him we was from Georgia. He asked if we was in town for a event. I told him we was here because we saw his place on YouTube 4 days ago. He asked of we really came all this way for his sandwich? I told him yes and had a hell of a adventure getting here. He asked about it and we told him.

Him and his crew lessened to our grate sub adventure and we had just about the entire place laughing. Crew and customers hear our story and couldn't help but call BS. Until some people looked the place up. When they saw the place they just laughed harder. After eating and relishing the food was worth it. We had to book it home. Some of us had to work the next day. With our bikes heaver from all the stuff we got on our adventure. we headed home. We just did a straight shot home. After 11 hours we got home in the middle of the night. We all went back to the buddy's place where we was all drinking at and passed right the hell out. I just remember getting to the couch. Next thing I know it's 10am and 2 of my friends are gone to work. My friend that owned the place and I didn't have to work. So we just sat down and laughed about the adventure again before I went home.

To me the best adventures are found on 2 wheels. If you don't start with good friends. You will make them along the way. Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm a 20-year-old traveler from Portugal, and I’ve always been curious about how people feel about traveling with new people.

I’ve done some solo trips and group travels, and I noticed that sometimes it’s hard to find the right travel buddies. Some people prefer going solo, others want to meet fellow travelers along the way—but what really makes a good travel companion?

I made a short 8-question survey (takes ~3 min) to understand different experiences and perspectives. If you’ve ever traveled solo, with strangers, or even considered it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Guys, I’m a 25 year old man (USA) who has finally found a decent career, an awesome girlfriend, and a relatively stable living situation. With that, I’m genuinely having an existential crisis. The more money I make, the more I spend, and the more I owe. I feel like I’m building a prison out of my own possessions. I am definitely resentful of this lifestyle.

I have been contemplating: what really is important in this life? What will make me a fulfilled human being as I exhale for the final time? I don’t believe it’s this… to work, to possess, to hold on to material things.

I want to buy a one way ticket to Europe with a backpack, some savings, and no plan. I want to see the earth - the cultures outside of my own. I want to experience life as a free traveler.

I have certain skills that I can take anywhere and make some money along the way.

The only thing that keeps me here is the love of my life. She’s amazing and she knows this struggle of mine. The other day she told me to go. She feels like I’m not living to my full potential and that my love for her is holding me back. The truth of that conversation broke my heart. She is incredible. I don’t want to leave her, but she’s committed to going to college and starting a long term career as a psychologist/therapist. She’s not interested in dropping all of that to explore the world. I understand. What I am speaking of is not an acceptable lifestyle for most.

I’m at a crossroad. One direction is continuing down this path of working and building something. The other is an adventure of a life time.

I am not a fool. I know the difficulties that would come. The suffering. And yet, it seems more appealing than this comfort I have collected.

I have wrote all of this in hopes to get your thoughts. Am I the only one who wishes to escape this ever worsening dystopia we live in? Unplug. Is my vision unrealistic and nothing more than a childlike dream? How much money is a realistic starting point for something like this? Like I said, I’ve got some sweet skills that I think I could find some work with - but I think I would like to head out with about $15,000. I would be living frugally and probably staying in hostels.

I’m very curious on your thoughts. If anyone else has an experience similar to what I’m sharing - please tell me about it!

I'm taking my family on a road trip to the Pacific Northwest in March. We are flying to Seattle and driving down the Pacific Coast highway to the redwood forest. Looking for some fun ideas. I have 3 kids aged, 8, 13 and 15. I saw there was some zip lines in the redwoods but they are ages 10+ so our you gest couldnt go with.

I'm wondering what other adventures would be in the redwoods or along our journey. Thanks

Hello im 18 and very interested in doing outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, fishing etc. most of high school I have spent playing video games in my free time but I have developed a love for the outdoors recently. The problem is I don’t know how to get started with things that I mentioned above. If anyone could give me some advice on how to find places to go and things to do that would be great. This is also my first time using Reddit so pardon the unprofessionalism of this post lol.

Hi! Me and a few friends (4-5 ppl total) are planning a road trip from the East Coast (NJ) this summer (late June, early July) with an end destination of Utah. We're all either 17 or 18 and want to do something big before we go off to college (well, I've got another year but my friends don't). Right now, we're working through literally everything, so we're looking for advice. What works? What doesn't? For those who've done this, how did you travel? We're each going to pool about $1000 for the whole trip. We were thinking we'd rent an RV if we can find someone willing to rent to a couple of 18 y/os. If not, we'd go with whoever has the biggest car and jump from motel to motel.

Oh, I almost forgot... the end goal is to have a fucking blast and see as much of the natural US (mainly midwest) as we can, since we'll end up in cities and suburbs again soon enough. We want to visit the best national parks and all the hidden places most people don't know about.

Join us as we investigate haunted locations, delve into chilling urban legends, and confront the unseen forces that may or may not exist.

So while traveling Latin America, I went to this festival in El Salvador, where they literally shoot fireworks into the crowd for 4 hours straight. It was absolutely crazy, pretty dangerous but also incredibly fun, not gonna lie. I made a video from it, so if you want to see some real latino craziness, here it is

Insane Festival in El Salvador

Enjoy!
