what is the most brutal travel journey you have done?! let me know

Ben’s vocabulary over his travels across Latin America consists of 3 things: “Vamos”, “Gracias” and “I’m starving” 😂

Way to go, Ben! Takeover Mexico City! I have to be honest, I was really concerned when you ate those two tacos before departing on the 27 hour bus ride to Mexico City! Good lord man, that was like playing Russian roulette with TWO live ones in the chamber! LOL just kidding, it looks like your journey is off to a great start, everyone has seemed really nice.

Ben Partridge with the recurring “Ahaaa” is fast becoming a favourite part of these videos 😂

Ben, so pleased to see you in Mexico. My family is from Chihuahua, Jalisco (states) and CDMX (Mexico City). I hope you have a wonderful stay in Mexico. I suggest you keep your wits about you, and remember that tourist spots may be lovely, and total rip offs at the same time.

Ben, FYI "bistek" is the Mexican interpretation for "beef steak".

Brave man eating street food prior to a 27hr Bus trip, I did laugh when you said you had some stomach cramps : @ ) You will love Mexico Ben I have been 6 times and still want to go back, you mentioned Tulum, a nice little place not too far from Belize, chance to get another country ticked off if you have time Bro, Thanks for sharing Mate, Have fun : @ )

We love travelling with you, Ben! Enjoy Mexico!

Gripes about not being able to buy food at the short bus stop literally when the food ladies are walking off the bus lol 🤣

I'm a new subscriber and I'm loving this channel! I admire your sense of adventure, thanks for bringing us along for the ride!

Great Ben! Hope you are enjoying Mexico overall

Loved that you finally made it to Mexico Ben. Hope you enjoy the motherland and try all the delicious food and beer. Cheers mate, be safe.

Ben, I'm so glad you're here in Mexico. Mexico is MUCH, MUCH more than just beaches and Mexico city so I hope you enjoy as much as you can in your trip. If you want the quintessential Mexican experience you may want to visit: Oaxaca, Queretaro, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Guanajuato, and the list goes on :P Bienvenido, Ben!

Glad you didn't get the runs on the bus Ben! Those Tacos were good! Thanks for sharing your adventures in the Americas. Safe travels and take care!

Thank u for the video Ben.Stay safe on yr Journey and have a blast.

I can see Mexico will be his top 3 country in his list. The way his smile says

Bloody ell Ben. Gruelling trip that but again, good to see the reality of travelling by road. You looked so relieved to get into Mexico City and have some tummy safe food. 😂. I’ll be looking forward to the next episode and get a look at Mexico city 🌆. Keep safe out there BB

The way you say "Uno taco porfavor" is hilarious Ben 🔥

Excellent video Ben...keep them coming🙏

4:54 is that a Great Daine? what a beautiful doggo , Ben almost going for a headpat on most dogs is sort of showing dominance especially a first time encounter

I took a bus from Paris to Sevilla. That was brutal. 24 hours and the bus was bad. I have also traveled from Cancun to Veracruz using ADO and I really like the buses in Mexico. There is also first class bus and it is so comfortable. Your taxi fare from TAPO (bus central station in Mexico City) to Condesa was $6.00 dollars. Very good!!!

Awesome Ben! I look forward to the Mexico series...As someone who goes to Mexico often I'll be interested to see what you think of it. CHeers mate! See you on the next one...be safe

Great review and spot on. I love Mexico and Mexico City. Great people, awesome food.

I love your vids Ben ❤ brings me great joy to see someone travelling the world and living life ❤

I knew you'd love Mexico City! It's mucho grande! Enjoy the food, that's Mexican food at its finest. I love that area, and I love the people of Mexico. I was surprised you didn't have Mr. Bald with you, but I'm glad you're experiencing Mexico City on your own.

My new favorite vlogger. Keep it going, it's your time to shine bruh!!!

Haven't been in a decade but have visited Mexico many times and have always had the best experiences. The people and the food are wonderful.

Your videos are very personable. it's like watching a good buddie trek across the land, hope that he gets to his location safely and happy for him when he finally gets to his final stop for the night.

Your videos just get better and better!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you y saludos. Enjoy México..

Mexico is awesome Ben you’ll love it

Great video mate, loved it

Was worried about that epic bus journey but looked ok..looking forward to more of Mexico City...Vamous Ben xx 🇬🇧

Fantastic video. Cheers mate!

Lovely mate..food and beer at the end looks like heaven...youre a sucker for long bus train and boat journeys eh haha well done mate💯

I just got back from the capital of mexico! I made so many local friends, its wild how open people were to chat and hang out

Hey Ben, I hope you got some time on the Yucatán coast, and side trips to one of the many Mayan ruins. It’s all a beautiful region.

21:39 Ben actually came on the spot right there by the sheer willpower of that taco

Ben I love how you get off the bus in the 1 min they let the food sellers on.. you missed the food ahhaha nooo

Sweeeet. A nice lil bit of entertainment to watch while having lunch break at work. Thanks Ben 👌

kudos Ben! I'm mexican and I did the same trip in my twenties because I wanted to go from my home city Puebla to Cancun, but that was 17 years ago. Thanks, because a lot of people ask me if it's safe to travel by ADO and from your experience I see still is =D go to Cholula, Atlixco and Zacatlan in Puebla, the historic ''centro'' Puebla's downtown is also beautiful, you won't regret it. Mr bald didn't go there.. he was looking for narcos up nord ha ha ha. Truly very, very happy for you.. hope you enjoy and don't hate your stay like you did in Colombia. I'm currently living in Quebec, Canada if I knew you'd be there in Mexico I would had come join you with my whole famili

Great video as always Ben

That was a epic journey Backpacker Ben!!! That was longer than that dreadful boat ride...

JURASSICK PARK! loving the look of this city!! excited for videos to follow!

Happy St Patrick's Day Ben. Looking forward to your Mexico trip videos. Greetings from Auckland, New Zealand. Vamos Amigo!

Mexico City is one of my favourite cities - enjoy mate! Definitely worth a day trip to Teotihuacan as well.

I was on a 13 hour flight from Istanbul to Houston two years ago. That was rough. 27 hours would give you a sore back, sore neck, constipation and very bad body odor.

Also great video brotha I look forward to more 🤘

Witching this video is like a 20mnts visit to Mexico.. Thx for upload Ben 💚

11:40 that guy was for sure eying your backpack DOWN

Good job on the taco preparation.

The food and some hotels looks very nice.

Hello from Los Angeles, Ben and fam! Thanks for the amazing vids. I traveled from LA...to Venice otw to Singapore. plane ran out of fuel in venice before taking off and I missed my connecting flight in Dubai, so I had to stay the night there. The flight made its way to India Mumbai and again was delayed. I stayed in the airport for 8 hours then finally left from Mumbai to Singapore. The flight from India to Singapore was hell. AC barely worked..it was like flying in a Sauna. I went around the world not by choice but because a pilot forgot to fuel the plane and top her off! Be well everyone!

18 hour drive from west palm beach to Manhattan. Had to stop in Baltimore for a few hours to work on the way. Brutal. At least you didn’t take a chicken bus. BtW there is the Premier Bus that has seats that fold all the back and have WiFi. CDMX is my fav place. You gotta have the scorpion sushi at the top of the Ritz Carlton.

Thank you for sharing your journeys with us and I hope that you will be allowed to visit the U.S. soon so I can show you around, Vegas, Hollywood and Chicago!

when I did it in 2006, it was 24 hrs...it was 100 USD in 2006, and kind of a sleeping bus...wide single seats...with complementary chips and drinks.....awesome exper.

Thanks Ben . Another Great adventurous trip . Makes me wanna get on a Bus for 24 hours ! 🙂

Mexico 🇲🇽 looks great so far 👌

I love that your picture from your visit to Bamiyan, Afghanistan is your screensaver!

That’s some serious busing. My longest bus trips were in Mexico, Chiapas back to Mexico City, long but not as long as your trip.

4:32 🤣 bruh

Back in Mexico I see.... Ayyyy I feel you on that long bus ride. I've had plenty from Phoenix to Culiacan Sinaloa which you've been before if I recall correctly. from Phoenix to Auguascalientes Aguescalientes. I'm early today YAY 😁 okay back to the video. If I have anything else to say I'll be back. Much Love From Across The Pond. Well across the river and wall. Be safe jovencito 🙏🏻

Excited for this one

That city that you stopped at was one of my home cities, Puebla. One of the safest, most economical cities in all of North America. When you arrived at TAPO, I got goose bumps, as I walked that same route through the tunnel dozens of times. 123 pesos was cheaper than what I thought it would be. But waiting 15 minutes was absurd. I once, a couple years ago, tried to get a taxi directly in front of the exit of TAPO, and she wanted 200 to 300 pesos to the airport. THWT!..I walked about a block away, and flagged down a taxi in the street, and he charged me 80 pesos to the airport. Big difference. Damn, I'm really jealous of you. I should be there right now. But, for a variety of reasons I have to be in the US freezing my tush off. This video might just make me reserve a flight to Mi querido México!!.....Saludos y Suerte!

25 hour trip. Was it the same driver all the way? Another awesome and informative video, thanks Ben.

Mexico City Rocks, and so do you !

Ben, next time if there ever is one, get on the Metro in Mexico city, even if you are coming from the bus station or airport. It's normally quicker, easy and relatively safe.

That bus did look very modern and comfortable. And theres always a subway when yer desperate 😊.

I thought you were having stomach cramps at the end of the video. Thank god the food was good. I've had so many memorable meals in Mexico; I miss it intensely. That experience of eating the most delicious thing in the world can't be beat.

Never been to Mexico but it is on my list! would love to try those tacos!!

Nice journey.

Thanks

Bringing me back memories when you was in the ado station! but i have no idea why your taking a 27 hour bus lol your crazy as usual!

Love your videos, Ben 👍🏻

Belly full of tacos and Coronas, what can be better? I love Mexico. Viva! Excellent video, Ben. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your trip. Salud 🍻

Yes I once travelled across Europe by bus … it took three and a half days.

Looks like a nice bus!!

Your suffering was worth something. Burritos and quesadillas have now been ordered, arriving soon. Must reiterate how much I love your Alan Partridge “A-has.” A smile every time 😁

Most buses in Mexico are pure luxury aha. We got on a third class bus through the mountains of Michoacán once though and that was pretty sketchy stuff. Did a 30 odd hour bus on a terrible Colombian bus once. Also in Nicaragua did a 6 hour ferry into a 10 hour wait in a bus station into the worlds uncomfiest 10 hour night bus into a 4 hour chicken bus. I love a travel day from hell

Bloody hell, I'm knackered, butter my ass let's vamos and find una Cervas and Tack'ohs, muchos grassy ass... Love you Ben lol.

Mexico is amazing!

Great video 😊 smashing that like buddy

This video and your 28-hour boat journey video are like hell to me. I had to take a 27-hour AMTRAK/Bus combo ride from California to Tucson, Arizona, and it was hellish. That was in America, of course, and it was still bad; I can't imagine how awful these types of rides are in developing countries. After that AMTRAK experience, I realized I'll suck up flying or wait until I go to a developed European/Asian country to take a train again. Love your videos, Ben. Massive fan of Bald, but I really like your more down-to-earth and "normal guy traveling" feel. Less "academic" and more "personal."

Those toy planes look amazing. And they're probably 3x cheaper than the tiny little toy planes they sell at the airport!

Well, La Condesa is one of the poshest area of MX City... But that bus trip must have been really a torture... 😂

Mexico is amazing you will love it 🎉

love Cancun, not so much the thought of such a long journey (always been windy when we're in Cancun)

Thrilling content!

You intentionally punish yourself after that last bus ride and boat ride back to back just for our entertainment eh?..love it buddy..ur bloody nuts m8t!

I flew that route a month ago. Nice new 737 Max Geddon you Janner.

Nice journey mate. All that random stuff they’re selling like wigs, toy planes, etc. on your way to Mexico City is very interesting. I wonder whose gonna buy those random stuff/non-essential items while travelling on the road. 😁

Mate, I would love to take that trip with you! Looks sick! Cheers and enjoy

great video!

I was in a bus from Managua, Nicaragua to El salvadore -17hours for 500km but had to cross several borders.

Amazing I always wanted to go to Mexico

I once traveled from NYC to San Francisco by Greyhound Bus and the journey took three days.After a stay in Cali I then returned to NYC for another three day journey so 27hours is a trip around the block.

40p street taco before a 27 bus ride brave man. Longest bus for me is about 13 hours from Jalal-abad Kyrgyzstan to the capital, Bishkek.

Well Done Ben! Cheers from Aussie🦘🪃

another great 1

But that bus ride must have been heaven compared to the noisy 29h speed boat trip u did in peru, right? Love that u share the ups and downs of traveling!
