A DIY Day Trip to One of The World's Most Infamous Castles...

Colditz Castle is easily accessible from both Leipzig and Dresden and there's no need to book an official tour. There may not be a direct public transport option, but the indirect ones are easy to figure out and may even open up the chance to explore somewhere else on the same trip. Join my on a Sunday DIY day trip to one of Europe's most famous castles... Filmed on Sunday 22nd October 2023 in Colditz, Saxony Music courtesy of epidemicsound.com 'She Believes' by Lindsey Abraham Thumbnail designed using Canva This video is not sponsored and all opinions are my own 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 might 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.

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. 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. WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS? The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. WHERE'S ALICJA? Alicja will feature as often as possible, but I'm afraid she has a proper job so it can take weeks for our schedules to match up. 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. 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 below 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 #Germany #Colditz
