if you can't hop on a plane right now you can  essentially travel by using a vpn and trick the  
1
6800
7920
00:14
internet into thinking that you are somewhere else  i was shocked when i lived abroad when i could not  
2
14720
6800
00:21
access certain videos that i knew i could watch  in the u.s i couldn't listen to certain music that  
3
21520
6880
00:28
i listened to in the u.s simply because it wasn't  available regionally and i want to show you a tool  
4
28400
6400
00:34
that i use when i'm learning a foreign language  or for you if you're in your home country and it's  
5
34800
6480
00:41
not an english-speaking country and you want to  access more information in english if you want to  
6
41280
6720
00:48
actually see more programming more tv  shows more movies in english see when  
7
48560
6640
00:55
i lived in brazil i realized for the first  time in my life you may already know this  
8
55200
4800
01:00
but when you access the internet from another  country you do not get the same results when  
9
60000
7200
01:07
you search for the exact same thing you do not  see the same programs on netflix you cannot even  
10
67200
7280
01:14
access a lot of the same videos because they're  restricted by country or websites there's a lot of  
11
74480
6160
01:20
censorship and there's also a lot of differences  depending on where you are accessing the internet  
12
80640
7120
01:27
in the world but there's a way to get around  that so i finally figured out that there is a  
13
87760
7360
01:35
hack to get around this maybe you know it already  do you use what's called a vpn so i started using  
14
95120
7200
01:42
nordvpn because it allows me to trick my  computer or the internet into thinking that  
15
102320
7280
01:49
i am well anywhere i want to be it's also super  useful with accessing my bank account when i am  
16
109600
7600
01:57
traveling abroad because i can't tell you how many  times my bank has locked my account locked me out  
17
117200
6400
02:03
of my own account so frustrating because it sees  i'm accessing my account from a new country and so  
18
123600
8880
02:12
it's a security feature but the thing is you don't  want to get shut out of your own information right  
19
132480
7120
02:19
so the important thing is to know to use a vpn  i use nordvpn and i'm going to tell you why they  
20
139600
6720
02:26
have an additional threat protection feature that  really makes me feel safe it helps prevent any  
21
146320
7280
02:33
kind of malware harmful websites malicious  ads infected files and even blocks trackers  
22
153600
9600
02:43
even just to protect my own personal information  and my activities i like using nordvpn because  
23
163920
7440
02:51
it's kind of a creepy world out there and you  never know who's watching and what they're going  
24
171360
5040
02:56
to do with that information so not to be paranoid  but i highly recommend that you try and work vpn

04:28
this awesome go natural community all right  let's get after it book a flight you need to book  
40
268800
7120
04:35
a flight so we know book is like reading  but to book the verb means to reserve  
41
275920
7680
04:43
so if you book a flight that means you reserve  a flight after you have your flight so i booked  
42
283600
7360
04:50
a flight to buenos aires now i need to book  accommodation accommodation is a place to sleep  
43
290960
9040
05:00
to reserve a place to sleep like a hotel airbnb  hostel couchsurfing any one of those things all  
44
300000
8880
05:09
accommodation similar to accommodation is to  make a reservation so to make a reservation  
45
309520
7680
05:18
means to reserve the use of something and it  can be anything so to book accommodation is  
46
318240
8960
05:27
specifically to a house or a room to sleep but to  make a reservation can also mean a room but it can  
47
327200
8880
05:36
apply to car rentals or a tour or anything you can  go in a hot air balloon and fly around the city  
48
336080
8880
05:44
but you need to make a reservation so for example  i could say i want to go on the dungeon tour i  
49
344960
7040
05:52
need to make a reservation or if i want to stay at  the luxor hotel in las vegas i need to call or go  
50
352000
8720
06:00
online and make a reservation i've booked a flight  i've found my accommodation i made a reservation  
51
360720
8320
06:09
for a car rental now it's time to fly the verb  that we use to describe this is to take off  
52
369040
9600
06:19
so the plane takes off at 7 am and it lands  at 5 pm so to take off is the plane leaving  
53
379200
9520
06:30
and to land is the plane landing and the  verb to land can be anything that's flying  
54
390000
7200
06:37
and then comes to the ground i could say  the butterfly right there's a butterfly  
55
397200
5120
06:43
the butterfly landed on my shoulder my  plane takes off at 8 00 am and lands  
56
403440
7280
06:50
at 5 pm now you also use these verbs to  describe where and where you're going  
57
410720
7200
06:57
where you come from and where you're going  to so i take off at 7am but i take off from  
58
417920
9840
07:08
new york for example if i leave from new york if i  leave from berlin i can say i take off from berlin  
59
428720
8400
07:17
and then on the other side i say i take off from  berlin i land in i land in singapore so i take off  
60
437120
10080
07:27
from berlin and i land in singapore you take off  from to land in now sometimes you'll be very lucky  
61
447200
8560
07:36
that your flight will not stop the flight will go  from a to b from berlin to singapore but sometimes  
62
456480
8720
07:45
you have to stop somewhere so if i fly from berlin  to singapore but i stop in doha for example in  
63
465200
10240
07:55
qatar that means that i have a connection in  doha so a connection when talking about flights  
64
475440
9280
08:05
means a city that your flight stops in before the  final destination so if i'm going to singapore  
65
485600
8000
08:13
from berlin and i have a connection in doha that  means the plane will fly from berlin to doha  
66
493600
7760
08:21
and then doha to singapore and you can  have even more words to describe this  
67
501360
6480
08:28
so this means you have two flights  berlin doha doha singapore each flight  
68
508560
6320
08:35
is called a leg like a leg like i have an arm and  a leg each part of this is called a leg so the  
69
515520
7280
08:42
first leg of the trip is from berlin to doha  and the second leg is from doha to singapore  
70
522800
8080
08:51
another word for a connection is a layover  a layover is just simply when you have a few  
71
531600
8000
08:59
hours stop in another city so you can say doha  i have a connection in doha or i have a layover  
72
539600
8480
09:08
in doha if it's a very long layover like many  hours this is called a stop over a stop over  
73
548080
10160
09:19
and this just means that you will stay in  that connection city for many hours usually  
74
559200
6720
09:26
more than four hours but before you travel you  need a backpack but not any type of backpack  
75
566640
7200
09:34
a travel backpack so so this is a normal  backpack you can see it's pretty thin it's not  
76
574480
10080
09:44
so big i can open it up about halfway put books  a computer laptop a tablet and that's about it  
77
584560
8960
09:53
not too many things but a travel backpack is  much bigger you have room for lots of clothes  
78
593520
8000
10:01
for a computer for toiletries for packing cubes  for lots of things it's very big and you can put  
79
601520
6880
10:08
everything in there clothes your computer  bathroom stuff and the most important thing  
80
608400
6480
10:14
for a travel backpack is a clam shell or suitcase  style opening this means that the backpack opens  
81
614880
9760
10:25
like a clam it opens really really big because  most backpacks only open halfway but a clam  
82
625440
8400
10:33
opens like if you think of a circle 270 degrees  so there's only one little side that doesn't
83
633840
8720
10:42
open opens all the way and i have all of this room  to put something in and the clamshell opening is  
84
642560
9360
10:51
important because it allows you to access things  quickly and pack very quickly and the best way to  
85
651920
8400
11:00
organize your clothes or your bathroom  things is with packing cubes so a packing  
86
660320
8240
11:08
cube is simply a little bag to organize  your things so in this packing cube i have  
87
668560
7920
11:18
my shirts in this packing cube i have my shorts  and i have more packing cubes for my shoes  
88
678160
8000
11:26
for my socks whatever i need for my dirty clothes  packing cube now the last bag you need is for your  
89
686160
7760
11:33
toiletries now the last bag you need is for  toiletries can you guess what toiletries  
90
693920
8000
11:41
are toiletries are the things that you find in  the bathroom like a toothbrush maybe mouthwash  
91
701920
7760
11:49
toothpaste lotion shampoo these things are all  toiletries and it's a smart idea to put them in  
92
709680
8880
11:58
a clear bag the security will be very happy  when you have them in a clear bag like this  
93
718560
4560
12:03
so you have your reservation you booked  accommodation you have a travel backpack with  
94
723680
5840
12:09
packing cubes toiletries you are ready to go you  take off from buenos aires and you land in paris  
95
729520
8720
12:18
but now you feel really tired why you're feeling  really sleepy this is called jet lag now jet lag  
96
738240
8160
12:26
is the feeling of being hired after you travel and  this is because you change time zone and your body  
97
746400
7680
12:34
is used to a different time zone so sometimes when  i travel from europe to asia i get jet lag i land  
98
754080
9120
12:43
and even though it's sunny i'm so sleepy our next  word is sightsee to sightsee this is a simple verb  
99
763200
9200
12:52
that means to visit or to look around so if i just  arrived in shanghai in china i could say i really  
100
772400
10800
13:03
want to sightsee the downtown or i really want to  sightsee around the people's square to sightsee  
101
783200
9280
13:12
if i'm traveling with a friend i can ask hey  foofy do you want to sightsee around stockholm  
102
792480
5760
13:18
tomorrow you can also say to go sightseeing do  you want to go sightseeing you want to go look  
103
798240
7040
13:25
around and see the things you've been sightseeing  you've been observing the city taking it all in so  
104
805280
6320
13:31
after you're done sightseeing you see everything  you're satisfied you're ready to go to a new city  
105
811600
6560
13:38
of course you can book a trip on a bus or  make a reservation for a flight or you could  
106
818160
8800
13:46
try hitchhiking do you know what hitchhiking is  hitchhiking is when you put your thumb up and  
107
826960
7200
13:54
you ask people for a ride i've hitchhiked so many  times almost 100 times in many countries and i've  
108
834160
8880
14:03
always had great experiences i love to hitchhike  you have fun conversations you meet really cool  
109
843040
6560
14:09
people of course it's not always the funnest way  to travel because the weather can be bad or people  
110
849600
7520
14:17

111
