3:34 am
about three hours from paris, midlands, perhaps towards merseyside as we go through the afternoon. just monarch butterflies as they prepare to check out an experimental conservation project powered by people. as we go through the afternoon. just a bit chilly for some of those north sea coasts, mild again on monday but to start the epic 3000 mile migration north. we have about 3000 it does look like it will turn a little bit chilly as we get deeper metres above sea level. we are into next week. beginning to see butterflies. we welcome to la mothe—chandeniers, have tips on how to travel and stay a romantic castle from the 13th century, surrounded by water. together if you are a couple. we do it's lain in ruins for decades, and has been reconquered by nature. but a crowdfunding start—up might just change its fate for good. it all the time. and we meet the you can see how nature grandmas bringing a taste of their 00:04:27,800 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 faraway home to native new yorkers. has just taken over, with huge trees coming out the window. it's like a cross between the classic french chateaux and one of the temples of angkor. so when we came — first came here, it was, like, alljungle and everything. it was crazy. and this has all been cleared? yeah. it was the first thing we did, you know, to — to allow people to enter the castle and — and to see,
3:35 am
like, all the magnificence of it. last year, in a bid to save this crumbling castle, romain‘s start—up imagined a new concept. for 50 euros each, people from around the world could join forces online and just buy it, collectively. et voila. you see here, it's like — you feel like time has stopped a long time ago. so just watch the roots, because is very fragile, just like the rest of the castle. i will be very gentle with the trees, i promise. the dream of owning part of french history appealed to many... is this safe? yeah, it's safe. no problem. ..and the crowdfunding operation was a huge success. we managed to — to have the mothe—chandeniers being the biggest co—operative in the world, with 28,000 people coming from 125 countries who are the new owners of the castle. so now that we are many owners, the next step is to secure the castle and have it not damaged more than it is now, and to develop also a sustainable, economic modern site, meaning having maybe a restaurant, maybe a hotel, and the aim here is to have people to come here and to help us with the restoration project
3:36 am
being a choice, you know? so will this stay a ruin, or will you restore it back to its former glory? basically, it's going to stay a ruin, but a more beautiful ruin than it is now. we don't want to take out this nature, you know? we need to keep this magic with the trees, with the birds, with everything that you can see all around us, that has made people so amazed by the castle. thanks to a dedicated community of co—owners and volunteers, la mothe—chandeniers will be open to the public next summer. and since we met, romain‘s start—up has launched another crowdfunding campaign and bought a second castle in the region. could this new model of collective ownership be part of the solution and help to save thousands of historic buildings across france? it would be nice to think so. now we're off to mexico, where a truly remarkable migration
3:37 am
is getting ready to take place. next month, millions of new monarch butterflies will start their long flight north as they prepare to spend the spring and summer months over the border in the us and canada. but climate change is having a real effect on butterfly numbers, and some scientists fear that within 20 years, they could be extinct. well, a while back, mike headed to mexico to see these amazing monarchs close up. you wouldn't know it to look at, but these hills are just a couple of hours' drive from mexico city, one of the world's biggest urban conurbations. this is the transatlantic volcanic belt, but it's not the volcanoes we've come to see. i'm almost to the summit of bald peak, and you can tell i'm quite out of breath. we are about 3,000
3:38 am
metres above sea level. the air is thin, it's quite cold, but we are beginning to see monarch butterflies. every winter, millions of butterflies fly for around two months from canada and the us to a few patches of high altitude forest here in mexico. most are located in the state of michoacan, but this place is slightly east of there in mexico state. cerro pelon is the least touristy site, and somewhere you can truly be alone with these creatures. wow! normally we're not allowed to get this close, but from this distance, i hope you can see. there are millions of monarchs clustered in black clumps on this fir trees.
3:39 am
what i find absolutely amazing about this insect is they travel 4,000 km from canada, united states, down to this particular forest. it's the longest migration undertaken by any insect. scientists only recently discovered that they use the sun to navigate to these same few reserves every year, where they rest, feed and then find a mate. in recent years, the populations have dwindled, thanks to the destruction of habitats in the us and canada, and deforestation here in mexico. one study says the numbers have gone down by 84% in the last 20 years. the fear is this — one more bad winter, and the entire colony could be gone. mike there reporting from mexico, and good luck to all of those monarchs as they begin their long flight north next month. coming up: we have got news of a tribute to an ‘80s soft rock
3:40 am
classic at a secret location in trending travel. # ..do the things we never had. and we head to new york to meet the grandmas bringing a taste of home cooking to staten island. when i opened this place, it was about trying to recreate that part of my life that i lost. when the grandmothers were in the kitchen and they were cooking, it was very comforting, and that's what it was all about for me. the travel show — your essential guide, wherever you're heading. it's now time for trending travel, our regular pick of the top stories, videos and photos all happening online this week. although london is always the main draw for tourists to england, if you've always been curious about what lies beyond, then now you can explore some
3:41 am
of the country's most historic cities from the comfort of your own phone — that's thanks to a new app called england 0riginals, that uses augmented reality to create pop—up, interactive 3—d versions of places like 0xford, york and durham, right in front of you. and then, once you get there, you can step into secret portals to learn more about their history. we're already the smartphone generation. my grandma who's, you know, is in her late 805, uses an ipad. the challenge, really, is to create stuff that — that feels youthful, to spark an interest which they then put onto visit some of these places. if your idea of getting away from it all usually involves a sun—and—beach holiday, how about trying something new this year? stressed—out office workers in south korea are booking two—night stays at a prison—style retreat, where they are being kept in solitary confinement, deprived of their phones and deprived of contact from the outside world. so far, over 2,000 people have been willingly locked up in the facility
3:42 am
in hongcheo, about an hour east of seoul. here's another story about travellers being asked to stay back with their selfie sticks when they're exploring the natural environment. authorities in australia are asking visitors to maria island in tasmania to sign up to a pledge that means they will respect the national park's wombats by keeping their distance. although wombats are naturally docile and cute, too much human interaction can be really harmful, no matter how well it's intended. # i bless the rains down in africa. and if you're a diehard fan of the rains down in africa, then you should head to namibia, where local artist max siedentopf has built the ultimate tribute to the toto classic. running on solar power and built to last out of mainly sustainable materials, it blasts out the ‘80s soft rock classic over the namib desert 2a hours a day on a loop that max hopes will last for ever. let us know if you find it, though, because max has kept the exact location a secret. now it's time to look at some of the photos you've sent us using the hashtag #traveltuesday. here are some of our favourites.
3:43 am
scotty took these pictures of the great pacific northwest in the us recently. benjamin managed to shoot this stunning sunset shot in finnish lapland. gabriel shot this great photo of the first snow in amsterdam recently. and remember to send us your pictures using the hashtag #traveltuesday. moving on now to online travel videos. here are some great ones racking up the likes this month. well, with valentine's day on the horizon, we thought we'd ask a couple who spent their lives travelling and vlogging around the world to give us some tips. phoebe lee and matt turk have almost 2 million views on their little grey box youtube channel, where they chart their adventures around the world together. you get to travel with your best friend. and i also love the fact that you get to have those memories together for ever. do you ever tire of each other's company? both: yes. all the time! laughs
3:44 am
we've been together for 11 years so that's gonna happen. you know, we started doing this probably five years ago, i think it was? so, yeah, we do tire of each other but, you know, a day apart, a little bit of time apart, and it's all back to normal again. we try to find a really good balance and have our own days. travel has shaped who we are as people, individuals, and together. to have your best friend, your partner, with you, sharing that with you, it is incredibly rewarding. make sure to keep sending us your photos and your stories of the places you live and also the places you love. check out the links below and who knows? maybe next time, you'll be trending in travel. to finish this week, we're off to new york's staten island. now, many people take the ferry across from manhattan just to get a view of the statue of liberty. but there's another reason to make the trip — a restaurant staffed not by trained chefs, but by a team of grandmas who are serving up traditional
3:45 am
dishes from all over the world. we've been to meet them. the concept behind the restaurant is very simple — it's about grandmothers. i was born in brooklyn and my grandmother was from the messina, sicily. my mother worked, so i was raised by my grandmother. she was the sweetest, kindest woman in the world, and the best cook. this is spinach pie. i cook the spinach with onion. i put dill, feta cheese. i am from greece.
3:46 am
i came here because my husband is here. i have now 49 years. when i opened this place, it was about trying to recreate that part of my life that i lost. when the grandmothers were in the kitchen and they were cooking, it was very comforting, and that's what it was all about for me. well, i'm glad to have
3:47 am
this opportunity to work here because it's such a brilliant idea that jody had to have what he called 'grandmother service'. so that we can all share our ethnic roots specialities, pass it along from — from my — from the other generation. 2016, i lost my husband. i'm cry, i'm stay home. my daughter maria, she say to me "ma, come to me and we go to one restaurant i see on staten island. it has all ladies, old ladies, cook over there. you come with me." i said to her "0k!"
3:48 am
vevita, i'm ready to drain these out. so what i'm going to do... let's see how this — i'll do it. i say "time to start this restaurant. nobody knows me." now, everybody loves me. i have a lot of people, 2,000 people, on the facebook, instagram. i'm very happy. i'm proud for my island. i'm proud for i'm greek. i love everybody!
