I usually pack light, but this takes things to a new level :D Join me as I head to Bratislava for a 2 night holiday with NO bag. This is an idea I had a while back, and although I usually travel with just a backpack, will this be a step too far? Join me and we'll find out together...

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is a result of doing all this myself I’m afraid. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday morning is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips!
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZfaq Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

I’m Welsh and I’ve lived in Bratislava for 12 years so I’m very happy to see how much you liked my adopted homeland. Slovakia is such a clean country and I’m glad you picked up on this. One small point though - the bus stops outside the train station aren’t the bus station. The bus station is behind the shopping mall you went to and is below another newer mall that has an amazing roof garden and is well worth a visit. Bratislava is a city worth visiting in the summer - we have so many outdoor pools in the heart of the city and lovely lakes all around the city. Bratislava is indeed a gem and you need to come back!

I used to visit quite frequently for business (from SE England) about 10 years ago and loved Bratislava- the people I worked with there were so lovely and I really loved that the whole office would go out for a proper meal at lunchtime in local neighbourhood restaurants specifically set up just to cater to the lunch crowd. For very little (plus their equivalent to Luncheon Vouchers), you would have a hot two course lunch with soft drink - can't remember the name but the local soft drink was dark like cola but more aniseed tasting - in any case, it was a lovely way to balance work and life. You made a good choice to live there!

I was in Bratislava regularly in 2014 /15 - and there was a big Tescos up the road from my hotel; it was more like a BHS with a supermarket for food in the basement. It even had a small licenced restaurant that looked like a place people went to for dinner - it was mad! I loved the city - it looks like it has really moved on since I was there - which is great.

A “boutique hotel” is actually pretty easy to define: 1) not a “chain hotel” such as a “corporatized” Holiday Inn, Days Inn, Premier, etc. 2) nicely unique, with unexpected niceties such as the robe and slippers, espresso machine, complementary in room bottled water: and a generally nice property setting/location.

@pathallam986 5 ай бұрын

My weakness is tea. European hotels are great for providing coffee but rarely with milk & I can't function in the morning without a cup of tea first. So I do take a travel kettle & couple of teabags. Upside is you can still shove a couple of pairs of (clean) knickers inside it. I manage ok with a normal backpack for weekenders + a 'banana bag' - like a bumbag you wear across the body. Stylish & keeps all your docs, phone & purse safe & easily accessible. Rolling clothes saves space & less creasing.

Spa - you have slippers and bathrobe, you don't need anything else, the sauna / steam room etc are likely to be textile free (nudist) with just a towel to keep the place you sit clean (possibly for modesty too if large enough) and mixed female & male too.

I entirely agree with you on the bus fare point. People may travel to airports for all sorts of reasons unconnected with planes. Eg, like your friend Scott Manson, they may live near an airport! The 61 bus you used is a normal part of the Bratislava transport system, though it did seem to have extra luggage space. Runs every 15 minutes, every 7-8 minutes at peak times.

My trip used to involve getting to LHR at crikey O'clock to get the first Austrian Airlines flight of the day to Vienna, where a car would meet me and drive the 40 mins to Bratislava...it's all dual carriageway, and lets just say the Slovakian drivers enjoyed pushing boundaries😮 It's a beautiful city and I loved visiting - your hotel looked amazing!

Well done Steve. I've never been able to travel light while traveling like you did.

I love the idea of traveling without luggage. The boutique hotel was very pretty. I love the travel you create. One day, I wish you would make a “Who is Steve Marsh” video. See you in the next video!

I was thinking of a no-luggage arrangement for my upcoming holiday in Europe but it'll be for 8 days so it's not realistic. But I do this when I go on domestic weekend trips within the US and it's awesome!

I've been trying to do trips of 5 nights or less with just a knapsack. If I want to pare that down more, I'll have to get a jacket with more pockets!

Steve as I have said before you are very good at this. Always entertaining and informative. Especially for me this time as my wife is from close to Bratislava and I have spent a lot of time working and living there. Looking forward to your next video. Great stuff again.

Many thanks Steve for a view of the Danube, a famous river, what a bargain and lovely room and hotel, something deserved. I always try and travel light especially for overnight stays

I was excited to see your destination, as I'm an American who has drawn out a quick road trip to knock off several Eastern European countries I haven't visited yet, and Bratislava would be a stopover.

No bag but you took the Scottish wind with you Steve😂That was a cracking wee room👍Cool video mate and that sunset was glorious👌

Excellent as usual. I travel as light as possible, and almost never check luggage any more (saves time, hassle, expense - and as you demonstrate laundry is always possible) - but this is the next level! Well done. Lovely hotel too. I'm really looking forward to what you get up to in lovely Bratislava, a real hidden gem.

There were occasions when I was in the Army wherein, for one reason or another, we had no clean clothes with us. We would simply wear those clothes that needed laundering into the shower, soap up, rinse off, remove one layer and repeat for the next layer. Of course there was the perquisite of a shower for this system to work. I've also laundered my clothing in a heavy rain shower in the same way. As you might imagine, after drying the clothes didn't look freshly pressed but at least they were clean. What did we sleep in that night? Either nothing or something wet.

Well, that was fun! The basket in the bathroom looks like a smaller than normal, but standard cloth lined laundry basket, so I assume it was for used towels.

Another outstanding video, mate! Good plug to our friend Petter @ Mentour Pilot. Loved the boutique hotel in Bratislava!

Excellent thank you and a very sweet comment about Alicja...anyway moving on...East Sussex is worth a visit... stunning countryside with many interesting towns to visit ( Battle is one... Eastbourne is another...it doesn't matter if the visitor is 80 + we always feel young )...Bluebell railway charming...if you'd like to add drama.. National Express from Glasgow tiny money to London Victoria...then train to East Sussex anywhere... It's always great to see you both together...saludos desde Espana 👍

A full flight from Bratislava to Edinburgh? I wouldn’t think there would be such a demand. Fun video as always. Happy trails Steve
