Mary Goes Round The World

Paris is one of those cities that can't fit into one vlog, so here's Part II! This time we stay above ground or actually way above ground as you'll see... from riding in one of those side cars you see in movies to high above the top of the Eiffel Tower...

Discover Paris beyond the postcard. In this vlog, I ride through the city in a vintage sidecar, climb the Eiffel Tower step by step, explore Montmartre by ni...

This week we head to one of the most iconic places on the planet... Paris! There's way too much to share in one vlog so this is the first of two parts. We did some pretty unique things there, not just your bog standard stuff, so check it out! (By the way, the hat in the pic is one I made in a workshop I did there!) https://youtu.be/jUA1TdK_zZU?si=PndnPnzQCCkbYfa6

Discover Paris beyond the postcards in this immersive travel vlog. In Part 1, we explore the haunting Paris Catacombs, an underground ossuary holding the rem...

What's great about travel is you never know which place is going to really surprise you and where you might want to return... And island off the coast of Spain called Mallorca is one of those places... Not on my bucket list but it should've been! https://youtu.be/B5Zx2p7e4h8.

I only had 48 hours in Mallorca, Spain — and this island completely surprised me. In this cinematic travel vlog, I explore Mallorca’s hidden gems beyond the ...

A few weeks ago, I told you I was in Hawaii at the Arizona Memorial... now here's the episode I produced from that trip. This was a labor of honor and respect as I worked to find archival footage that captured the events of that day and the the day of the surrender. Maybe you didn't realize that the USS Missouri where the signing took place is at Pearl Harbor? The WWII remembrance in Hawaii is more than the Arizona, which I worked to depict here.

What does it mean to remember?In this Veterans Day episode of Mary Goes Round the World, I visit two of the most solemn and powerful sites in Hawaii: the USS...

This week we head back to Germany and truly one of the more surprising places I've been to... Sure there's the World War II history and the largest Christmas market in the country, but what really makes it memorable are is the river that runs through it. Some tourists won't see it because they may be satisfied with the big Trials Museum and the market, but then they would be totally missing out! One of those places where you can't put the camera down!

While Nuremberg is famous for its Christmas markets, this vlog explores what makes the city worth visiting year-round—from medieval towers to the echoes of j...

Because this is Filipino American History month, thought I'd do a vlog about the fascinating history in the nation's capital. There's so much more I could have included in this! But this isn't a documentary, just a vlog about the incredible bond the Philippines and the United States share over the last century!

Step into the streets of Washington, DC and uncover the hidden Filipino history that shaped global events. In this travel documentary-style vlog, we explore ...

Where are we this week? We're off to that magical country of Greece! But we're not in Athens, but in an off-the-beaten path region called the Peloponnese peninsula. Not only does it have great views of the Mediterranean but it is dotted with ancient cities of different eras... as it the area is a living museum of history! And what better place to try our hand at making a mosaic like that the ancient Greeks did... Greece is so much more than Athens! https://youtu.be/hBK31vjk3j0

Just beyond Athens lies a land older than democracy — the Peloponnese. In this cinematic travel episode, we explore ancient Sparta, the Byzantine city of Mys...

On the heels of the last two vlogs on the Philippines, we head to Munich this week in time for Octoberfest! But the vlog doesn't talk about that epic event, but what else you can do aside from those arm curls! Munich is a go-to spot for many other reasons! https://youtu.be/QT9TCTXLKuo

Before the beer tents and celebrations of Oktoberfest, Munich holds a quieter, more haunting story. In this travel vlog, I check out some must-sees, while ex...

Whoa!!! This is something I didn't think I could say until my vlog turned 5 but now, at 13-months old, I'm what they call 'monetized'! At this point, I'm only getting money from essentially donations from viewers, something I'm not pushing at all. I need to get more watch hours to get to the point when I get some small cut of the ad revenue but milestones need to be celebrated and this is a big one for me! Thank you! Thank you for your support because I do this to share my passion and knowledge of the gifts travel gives us and you all are a big part of why I do this!

Here's Part 2 of my epic Philippines trip! I have some fun surprises scattered throughout and since it's another long one, you can always hop to other 'chapters'. I don't expect to replicate the success of the first part (I got more views on that then all my previous 56 videos combined!). Hope you like it!

This is the second part of my journey through the Philippines—this time, tracing my father’s roots in Tanza and Manila.I visited the house where he grew up, ...

Getting ready to post the second of my two Philippines vlogs but I wanted to share the great news of my reaching 500 YouTube subscribers! Thank you all so much for helping me get to this milestone! The overwhelming success of the first Philippines vlog has blown me away, getting as many views as all my other 56 vlog episodes combined!
