We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.


We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.


We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.


Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.


Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here


Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

7 Most OVERRATED Tourist Attractions in Europe

There are many amazing things to see in Europe: the Colosseum in Rome, Pompeii and Vesuvius, and the canals of Bruges. But there are also some...less amazing things to see. This video is about the 7 most disappointing and overrated tourist attractions in Europe.

For more videos every week, subscribe to the channel:

Also, join the Three Star Vagabond Facebook group to discuss upcoming videos:

Many of the attractions listed in this video are not bad per se - they are just overhyped or don't deserve the reputation they have as a famous tourist attraction. The items listed are:

- The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, Denmark
- Taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy
- Stonehenge in Salisbury, the UK
- The Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy
- Manneken Pis in Brussels, Belgium
- The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy
- Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris, France

I also give an honorary (dishonorary?) mention to the Red Light District in Amsterdam, Loch Ness in Scotland and Abbey Road in London. And no, the Eiffel Tower is not included in this list at all.

Do you agree? Do you disagree? Leave a comment and tell me why I'm completely right...or wrong...in that case!

5 Things American Tourists Shouldn't Wear in Europe

Heading to Europe & Not Sure What to Pack? Here are a few things that my fellow US travelers may want to avoid packing if they are traveling to Europe.
1. Baseball Caps: Europeans in general do not wear baseball caps, especially backwards. You would be better served to wear a more traditional hat. You will see an occasional NY Yankee hat, but why not buy the fancy hat you always wanted instead?
2. Athletic Wear: Europeans tend to wear athletic wear to do sports, not to wear around town. There is a trend of more athleisurewear in Europe, but it is not to the extent that there is in US.
3. Khakis: the omnipresent US male pant choice is not something you will see too often in Europe. Go for colored pants or jeans. If you want khaki like pants wear Chinos instead of Dockers. The pants you will see are a thinner cut or skinnier fit than in the US.
4. Oversized US University Sweatshirts.
5. Sport Shoes or High Heals: US sport shoes and white socks are not quite as popular in Europe as they are in the US. You may be better off with Urban Street shoes like Vans instead. Also, women should be careful with high heels as with all the cobblestone it is easy to hurt your ankles.
