Geolocation Season 2, Episode 77

1 Share
From: josemonkey
Duration: 3:54

This video has been on my list for a long time but I only recently tried to find it. In fact, it was submitted so long ago that it was before I had the rule about appearing on camera when asking to be found. So that means it was over a year ago!

Sorry. 😣

Anyway, I wasn’t sure when I first looked at it whether it would be really easy or really hard. But I was pretty sure it was going to be a new country for me.

You can view the video that was submitted to be found using this link: https://www.tiktok.com/@dylanjamesstagge0/video/7213893963714170158?_t=8fEK6r5a2vu&_r=1

You can also view the map of all locations I have found so far here: https://josemonkey.com/map/

If you'd like me to try to find you, record a video where you say "Find me, josemonkey!" on-camera. Or, if you don't want to appear on-camera, make sure you show a sign that says something like "Find me, josemonkey." Also, don't forget to tag me when you do so I will know you posted the video!

See the full rules here: https://josemonkey.com/find-me/
