Ladies and gentlemen vega buddies, welcome back to the channel today.

In this video we are doing something a little different.

It's been a while since we've done a Q and A right, we've asked you to ask us questions and in this video we're gonna answer them.

So we're currently around the world filming for our new travel television show, Budget versus Baller.

So go check on our instagram to see where we are today.

But in the meantime you have asked this question, so we're gonna answer them.

Let's get started with question numero uno Question number one at mov mall asks, do either of you speak other languages and how have they helped you in your travels?

Languages spoken by tons of people all around the world.

One of the most widely spoken languages I think after mandarin is number two.

So very good language, you know, not to mention both of us are pretty much conversational in french, even though we probably speak like five year old Children, we can get by in french speaking countries.

I think if you had to add one language addition to english and spanish french would be a great choice.

Alright, number two brian and barrett asked us if you could go on a motorcycle trip for a weekend, anywhere in California.

So I would take highway two up to big bear and over into the desert Eventually heading to Death valley.

Every single time I, every time I can I go up the highway one up to Big Sur and I have some cool spots.

I go to up there at Mike Schwartz asks, is there a place that you heard was amazing but you were let down or disappointed when you arrived there for me?

Excuse me, every single traveler I'd met in Southeast Asia backpacking area was like, oh my God you have to go to Myanmar.

It's like it's like Thailand before tourism.

But in reality I found this political situation there is really intense, which is very eye opening.

But the country itself, I was a little bit let down in terms of geography, although people were super, super friendly for me.

It's got to be las Vegas and a story at Kendra Sturm asked us, have you ever been pick pocketed while traveling?

So Marco and I, when we were living in spain, we were coming back from the airport in Madrid and I felt somebody like take something out of my backpack um eventually tracked the guy down without him knowing I saw him pull out my camera from his pocket and put it back in there.

So I came up behind him and pickpocketed him and I called him out in spanish called him a thief and publicly shamed him.

It was stolen from me while I was busy with other activities on the beach.

Late night after a fiesta in spain as well.

So keep your eyes on your belongings when you're partying in spain.

Next up at rain dance moyes's asks, what are some ancient cities that you think would have been cool to visit when they were around for me hanging gardens of Babylon or a lot of the ancient sites from Mesopotamia.

Yeah, I would have loved to see them, but unfortunately very few still remain for me.

I would have loved to see Teotihuacan in basically modern day Mexico city before the arrival of the spanish or ancient Rome during the times of Julius season at E.

To ask, what's the craziest food you've tried while traveling for me ballot the partially fermented duck embryo.

I was forced to eat that at a family festival in uh real loud for me, it's gotta be the double Icelandic combination of fermented shark and a baked lamb's face at a bead in fais.

I don't know if I pronounced that right asks what was the worst moment slash situation you two had during your travels.

Uh when we went to India last fall to shoot the virtual reality series, we hired a fixer.

And after a few days of really uncomfortable conversations, we ended up having to fire the guy.

Uh, and that was quite the sight as we get into more advanced types of productions, specifically virtual reality filmmaking, that we require tons of permits and permissions to film in places up front.

And then the guy that we hired to do that showed up and he had nothing reserved.

We kept getting rejected from places we were supposed to have permission to film.

It was very frustrating situation and we had to basically fire him and improvised on the spot.

And it was still one of the best trips we've ever done, right.

So although we didn't get to film in a lot of places, we really wanted to, we still made it work.

We had some alternatives and we got it done so funny, like what you saw in the India series was really like the backup plan plan B and it worked out really well.

So at Travel Explorer double 01 asks, do you think that traveling while vlogging is a good idea or should you just focus on being in the moment?

I would have to say, you know, there's been this explosion of people trying to vlog sharing, creating new accounts.

And if that's something that you really are passionate about and you want to give 100 and 50% for the next like five years of your life, then by all means go for it.

But if it's something that you're just trying out.

If it's something that you aren't 100% committed to, then I would just say and just enjoy the moment.

And I think that's a really good happy medium is just to do some instagram stories.

I mean you can do a lot with that medium.

It's a great way to share your experiences very immediately.

Doesn't take up a lot of time at Paula Novak asks, what was the most eye opening or humbling experience you've had with a local on your travels?

Okay, so before vega brothers, I did a solo backpacking trip in Vietnam and Southeast Asia and part of that trip I tried to ride a motorcycle all the way across Vietnam.

Long story short, it broke down, I was stuck in the middle of nowhere and I was taken in by some locals, part of whom were ex soldiers in the North Vietnamese army and there was a really interesting moment where we're all drinking having a good time and I actually made like a symbolic piece with one of the soldiers who had held up all these emotions from the war between Vietnam and the United States of America is a very poignant moment.

Just kinda goes to show how a one on one.

Human interaction can do a lot more than global leaders can in terms of making peace between nations?

Okay, luke babbitt asks, do you guys argue on the road and how do you get past it in order to keep traveling?

We argue pretty much about like everything.

Um but it's usually not like an angry argument, it's more just disagreements about how to do things best and in what order.

So if Mark says we should go right, I say we should go left, we go right and then we realize that we should go left.

But um what we like to do now and what we've learned, what we've learned to do after five years of doing this is to give each other space when you're heated up, let yourselves cool off, give each other space and then everything is almost always fixed by a good meal with a glass of wine, just not too many glasses of wine or you find yourself right back in another argument at Molina says if you're going to travel the world for a year where you start, alright, we didn't know if you meant first destination or first step, but if you mean first step, there's a whole playlist we've done about how to travel around the world and specifically, there's a video about how much it costs to travel around the world for a full year.

There's a link in the bio as well as up here in the cards and that's a good place to start.

B how 75 asked what's your favorite place to travel in the United States for me, probably new Orleans Louisiana.

I'd have to say road tripping around the western United States.

I just love how open and rugged and wild it is.

So yeah, I just, I love me some mountains and let me the rockies and the sierra Nevada's at some critical panning.

First off, am I you guys don't know, I keep my life fairly private.

But the truth is, I am, I'm still single and I think the reason why is because, well, first of all, I just haven't felt that I've been in a position where I'm able to fully commit to somebody because we have been so busy with travel and with work.

What I've done in this year is to focus on being more time here in Los Angeles and focusing a lot on my self development, personal development and self love, which I think is really the first step in making yourself available for relationships.

I think that this this lifestyle can be very difficult to find an easy match, especially if someone else doesn't have the flexibility that my life has and therefore won't be able to enjoy a lot of the opportunities that my life provides, but I think that I'm in a good position right now and I'm definitely open to being in a committed relationship.

I kind of feel like this deserves a video topic of its entire self.

Meantime, I'll let you guys know when the situation changes.

At Luciana af tv asks, do you like football slash soccer and will you watch the World Cup?

The answer is as americans, we grew up playing soccer and then we became pretty much totally uninvolved with football or soccer and then we moved to Spain and kind of got into it then.

So America didn't qualify for the World Cup, but Spain did.
