I’ll show you the friendliest people you’ve ever met, old towns, family farmsteads, not to mention I’ll cook you the best steaks you’ve ever had (accompanied by homegrown whiskey, and wheat beer)... oh, and don’t forget the sweetest sweet corn, and homemade pies 😉 The places you travel to are so amazing and exotic. I love watching your videos! I know I’ll never see these places with my own eyes, so it’s fun to vicariously live through your channel... But I’m telling ya, throw that dart in the middle of the states, and let me show ya how we roll 😉

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Must make a trip to the hinterland! A lot of hidden gems in the Upper Great Lakes. Chicago can be sketchy and Toronto, boring, but Duluth is honestly still one of my favorite mid-size American cities. Go to the Upper Peninsula for some subtle yet undeniably beautiful nature. Madison, Oshkosh, and Eau Claire are full of the nicest, yet most genuine Americans you’ll ever meet. I know you like beer and swimming and where better for that than the beaches of the unassuming lake towns of Lake Michigan like Traverse City, Petoskey, Frankfort, Charlevoix, Sutton’s Bay, Elk Rapids, Mackinac, Harbor Springs, Leland, Escanaba, Manistee, Marinette, Ludington, Manitowoc, Grand Haven, Sheboygan, or Saugatuck? Aside from the orchards and wineries, the Leelenau Peninsula has the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakes Shore which is an awesome place to explore with 600 foot sand bluffs that drop straight into the lake. Don’t let New Yorkers or Ohioans fool you. Aside from Sandusky and Niagara, the Great Lakes only suck in their states because they don’t take care of them. (disclaimer: this is not an advertisement)

Kefalonia has many sandy beaches, more beautiful than Zakynthos. The entire southern coast of Kefalonia, from Skala to Argostoli is only sandy beaches. There are also some sandy beaches where Lixouri is, such as Xi. The northern part of the island, close to Format to and Agia Efimia is mostly pebbles and rocks. Kefalonia is a big island and you need either to research before going there so you know in advance exactly where to go, or you need at least a week.

11 August of 1953, there were actually four earthquakes that hit the island. These earthquakes destroyed almost every house , 27.659 houses of about 33000. The worst earthquake measured 7.3 on the Richter scale. The center was on the southern tip of the island and raised the island by 60 cm. The watermarks on rocks around the coast bear testimony to this fact. The only areas that escaped destruction were on the northern side. The worst blow to the economy was that most of the residents left the island to live elsewhere. This left only a few residents on the island. 600 people died and the survivors who did not leave or they who returned to the island rebuilt everything. The new buildings were built according to strict anti-earthquake specifications.
