We too have made life long friends on our journeys that we keep in touch with. I'ts amazing too me that even though we are from such different cultures that we have so much in common. As travellers we find that we are much more open minded, kinder, and more accepting of each others differences. We believe that if we all travelled more there would be less stife in the world. (I know that's not possible but wouldn't it be great)

Why you don’t go inside the Bazar room with the Leselounge (Reading Lounge) or Essroom (Eat room)? Its nice there, hope you know that Tollwood has that too

Ashland is awful you stayed in like a 4 block area but I guess retirees would avoid most of downtown

Mind me asking what the fare for that suite is? I’m guessing it falls under “…if you have to ask” Thanks for your videos.

Vlad Tepes was the ruler of Valachia, not Transylvania. A technicality, maybe but this is history. Yes, he was born in Sighisoara in Transylvania, though. That area was part of the Hungarian Kingdom at that time, and after 1526 it was a principality, so a state on its own.

Nice work man keep going 🤝

Had a wonderful time meeting y’all on the cruise. Great job with the video come to North Carolina! G.M. And LuLu

Loved the video! Come visit North Carolina! “Mountains to the Sea” Loved cruising with y’all! G.M. And LuLu

Dracula is just a myth that you should be less interested in. There is also history and culture in Romania. You would be better off visiting something related to the Romanians. Even redskins were not allowed in American cities in the 18th-19th century.

We're going to book this for fall 2025 but only do it one way (to save $$$). Fly from Oslo to Kirkenes. Already bought the wool thermal underwear.

Please learn how to say Edinburgh. It is NOT Edinboro.

Sibiu has at least 2 steakhouses that I know of. Also, a Red, Black and Aberdeen Angus farm a few km away from the city, one of the first and largest premium beef farms in Romania, that supplies these steakhouses. Plus, any restaurant worth at least 4 stars on TripAdvisor should have at least a beef dish. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how you could not find any beef in Sibiu but the one sold by the local Burger King.

We have always traveled on our own. I'm 76 and my wife is 72. As we have aged we find ourselves now willing to "experiment" with travelling with another couple. We're cautiously optomistic that this will turn out to a great trip because we're willing to keep an open mind and are open to some new ideas as to what to do, where to go, what to see, etc. We also think it's important to lay out some basic ground rules such as we can't always want to do what the other couple want to do so there's no harm in going our seperate ways now and then, with no hard feelings.

We always stay at the Hilton at the Frankfurt airport the night before we fly out and arrive home the next day somewhat feeling better as its only a 9 hour flight to Calgary from there. Good advise from you guys again.

We do the same each year. We typically end our Europe travels in Croatia. We then take a flight to Heathrow and spend a night or two there before the long flight to Portland, Oregon. We’ve also broken up our flights from Portland to Europe by first flying to Washington or New York, spending a couple days there, and then taking a shorter direct flight to London.

Great video with good information.

Thank you. Appreciate seeing places off the beaten path.

The six berth compartment is booked out for the sole use of one group, of 1 to 6 people, so it can be for the sole use of a couple. Although it doesn't have a washbasin, it had the great advantage (to some of us!) of having two bottom bunks so no clambering up ladders. It was also significantly cheaper when we booked, tho VY operate smart pricing.

Love your enthusiasm and sense of humor but...... we still look forward to your next vlog.

Your knowledge in history is respective to admiration. Much respect from Latvian.

Thank You, sir, in showing my country in proper light. Sorry for Your trouble with controller on the bus. I love Ukraine. I studied in Grammar School of Nordic Languages in Riga, so I love Scandinavian people as well. I was in Vārnamo in Sweden for two weeks in 2004. Absolutely loved it. Thank You once more. Norway and Denmark are my dream destinations now.

Nice vlog guys - great work.

I live in the Normal region of Ashland, KY and I love it! I’ve been here most of my 32 years of life (I briefly lived in Chesapeake and South Point in Ohio while I was married, but I’ve since moved back).

As a German I find it very uncommon that Tanya was not allowed to see her R-Ray! I have had lots of X-Rays in my life (I am f, 63 now), and I was easily allowed to see them all (and not because the doctors knew that I used to work at a veterinarian's office and was familiar with X-Rays, but simply because it was my right to see them and have them explained by the doctor!) So please note, this experience of yours is not common in Germany. I am aware I stumbled upon this video of yours very late and so I guess Tanya's wrist is fine again. (Just in case if not - my best wishes!) (Edit due to some typos)

Hello there, someone under 30 here! Your videos are quite enjoyable to watch.Have fun on your future travels!

How was the train? How is the first class was different from regular seats? Do you have a video showing inside the train?

that city seems so coooooool

I was going to ask what happenned to "slow travel" but I guess that our best laid plans to change as they should.

sorry but just searching "beef sibiu" "bbq sibiu" "grill sibiu" and so on... will bring the best restaurants that serve beef in Sibiu. But thank you for visiting us and thank you for the nice words. You are a cool couple. I subscribed!

We try to stay away from "touristy" places as well, and always find what we call little gems. Renting an RV allows us to find these out of the way places and we always have our own home with us. Love following along your journeys.

I noticed that even in the strangest neighborhood you went into, you were still completely safe. I don't see even the most minor criminals.

Lovely video!

Always stopped there on our way to Sun Valley, ID

Have learnt some Russian so do these scammers understand Ryski yazik?

The currency information is fabulous. I can't wait to get millions!

Very timely. We are looking at using miles to fly business to Vietnam. Tanya is adorable and you are a fabulous narrator. Thank you for the analysis!

It's nice to see that Americans can just walk in Romania without a visa...but as romanians you gotta go thru hell just to get a visa. smh

thats untold festival, electronic music festival :)

You guys go on the most interesting adventures. By the way I've been to the KFC at the Itowon area of Seoul Korea.

I sure enjoy your travels! ❤

you have to visit the bridge of remagen....where the allies crossed the rhine river in ww2....very interesseting museum on the left side of the rhine river

I love ashland because im from here. Go Tomcats!

We were flying from San Francisco to Turkiye and upgrade to business class was 1.500 per person. 3 thousands for both. Thats my 2 weeks salary, so I said no way 😃.

Very interesting video! I was once in Riga many years ago and it's was during winter time. I think summer is better time to travel there 😃

How long did you stayed in Moldova?

Thanks for the video. We have not visited Tiraspol, we visited Bendery, smaller city but also like USSR 1980's.

Its so sad that you didn't ordered traditional Moldovian food from Andys restaurant. For others visiting Moldova, please go to La Plachinta restaurant. You will get the best food in town. We tried La Plachintas breakfast, lunch and dinner and Im craving for their food as we we are back to California.

That happened to me in Naples, I knew about the scam and yelled at the girls when they approached me

Perhaps nice to mention, the ships are informal with clothing requirements. No formal diners 😊.

I just saw this is affordable for singles!! Finally ..... 😂
