A Fun Day In Berlin Needn't Be An Expensive One. Even If It Does Mean Skipping An Attraction Or Two!

I had one winter day in Berlin and spent that time scooting around various locations and attractions I've always wanted to see. But what I didn't realise until filming and later editing this video was how cheap my day would turn out to be. This of course meant I had to say 'nein' to a couple of places, but I really don't think it made my day any less enjoyable. I hope you enjoy the video... Where are we on holiday? It's a first time trip to Tenerife :) We'll almost be home by the time this video goes out, but we did take the camera, so maybe the next upload will be a short one from there! Filmed on Wednesday 27th November 2024 Music courtesy of epidemicsound.com Thumbnail designed using Canva This video is not sponsored and all opinions are my own *This channel has a ZERO tolerance policy to online abuse* 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 :) Donate here to future videos: (thank you!) https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/stevemarshyoutube Or why not become a SteveMarsh Supporter? https://www.patreon.com/SteveMarsh 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 the reality of a weekly upload schedule, coupled with doing everything myself and sticking to a budget. Often I need to film 3-4 videos in one trip to make it cost-effective and that means a queue for the Saturday morning slot. This is just part of YouTube life I’m afraid, but I will only upload something if it still has value for you as a viewer. Please also remember I’m a regular guy with all the responsibilities of life and this can sometimes mean I need to keep emergency videos for times when that life gets in the way! 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! Hotel prices 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 9-5 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 YouTube 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. #SteveMarsh #Berlin #Germany
