The boat rowing in Tapolca reminds me a lot of the cave cenotes in Mexico with crystal clear water :) Beautiful!

[@danielazziptrips]

Would love to be in one of them in Mexico some day!

I visited Hungary with my family many years ago when I was a child and still have a vague memory of it, my Grandma was originally from Hungary but escaped to England in the WW2, I’ve always wanted to go back there to see what it’s like now and visit some of my Grandma’s side of the family but never managed to get the time to do so, finding your video was great especially to see some of the places I remember, Thanks for the great video 👍

[@Gabezzzz]

Then you are a hungarian! :) Do you know where she lived in Hungary?

[@timsuttonlovinlife-]

Hi 👋🏼 I’m not sure of the town or village she used to live in but I remember it was quite close to Budapest, I remember we went to visit her brother and he used to make Cherry Brandy 🍒 and had an orchard full of cherry trees which I got lost inside of and it frightened the life out of me!! I was only 4/5 years old though at the time 😂

[@danielazziptrips]

Awww so glad to hear that! I am glad the video could help you remember some of your memories and I hope you get to visit again very soon! Hungary is fantastic 😍

[@nicholasmanila]

So impressed with the quality of this video and also that someone (a non-Hungarian) made a video this good outside Budapest! Thank you for sharing these places that are quite unknown outside Hungary!

[@danielazziptrips]

Hi Nicholas thank you for watching the video and for such kind words! It means a lot!! My passion is to discover less known locations and share them with the world. There's a lot of destinations that are overly shared online and I believe there's many more that deserve more recognition and to be shared with the world, and that's the case of many places in Hungary for sure! I hope you stick around for more videos and have a lovely weekend! ☺️

[@nicholasmanila]

@@danielazziptrips I have a very similar passion as well. I’m sure you know about atlas Obscura it’s a great resource for finding hidden places! I will stick around for more videos!

[@danielazziptrips]

@@nicholasmanila Glad to know that there's more people like me and yes!! I bought their latest book this week actually and loving it 😍 thank you, that means a lot! 🥰

Lake Balaton is not unknown in the surrounding countries (Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, Austria) at all, especially in Germany. Check it, a bit of history: Deutsche Einheit am Balaton (German Unity at Balaton). At some places there are so many German guests, that there is even a German market in Fonyód (called Pullovermarkt) with 80% of German guests on every Wednesdays and Saturdays. But outside Germany and the surrounding countries it is quite unknown, yes.

[@danielazziptrips]

@@msz2363 I believe you! I personally never heard about it before and I have spoken to many people from different countries who enjoy travelling yet never heard about it. I guess it might be because I am from Portugal and living currently in England, so Hungary is not a country that gets a lot of attention here. From what I see, most people just really know Budapest, which I personally think it's a shame!

[@matthewmulvale5747]

Hey Dani. Great video as always. Wow, who knew that Hungary was such a beautiful place? It's brilliant that you do these vlogs. Gives us inspiration for future holiday trips. 😃👍

[@danielazziptrips]

Hi, thank you so much! I know right? I certainly didn't expect it to be this beautiful until I realized how many wonderful places you can find in there! Super glad you're enjoying them, Hungary is a place I can only recommend! Hope you're having a nice weekend ☺️

[@seadoggo5427]

In hungarian if you read a "LY" it is a "J". Yes, we have 2 tipes of J sound.

[@danielazziptrips]

Pronunciation is always super interesting and different from one country to another! Lovely to know more :)

[@illegaluser69]

And it is pronounced as "Y" like in "boy"

[@slczmt]

So nice to see that you managed to get to so many places around our country. As a local from Tihany (and Budapest) I would like to say that you made a fascinating job with the whole video, from beginning to end. Nicely thought out which places to visit, how to capture them whilst even having fun. Your videos are fun to watch, excitingly cut and have a vibe which is so hard to come around nowadays on KZbin. Keep up the good work and you will slowly see your channel grow to heights you would never imagined. +1 subscribe from me. :)

[@danielazziptrips]

Hi Máté, thank you so so much for your kind words, it does mean a lot to me!! I appreciate you watching the video, subscribing and leaving such a nice comment!! I hope you stay for a long ride and that you continue to enjoy the travel videos that will come to the channel, and I will do my best to keep the entertainment going eheheeh ☺️ Have a lovely weekend

Gombóc Artúr is not the main character, but he is a really prominent one. Also, if you asked him, what is his favourite kind of chocolate, this would be his answer: The circular chocolate, the square chocolate, the long chocolate, the short chocolate, the round chocolate, the flat chocolate, the solid chocolate, the hollow chocolate, the wrapped chocolate, the naked chocolate, the whole chocolate, the bitten into chocolate, the sweet chocolate, the bitter chocolate, the tube shaped chocolate, the chocolate that has peanuts in it, the milk chocolate, the liqueur chocolate, the leftover chocolate from yesteryear, this years chocolate and every kind of chocolate that are made on this Earth.

[@danielazziptrips]

Oh ups, I got that wrong 😵😵 also it's hilarious how you took the time to explain exactly how the character is and its way too funny 🤣 thank you! 🥰

[@essurio]

@@danielazziptrips You are welcome! But it wasn't hard, I just translated a monologue from the cartoon :D

[@danielazziptrips]

@@essurio still pretty impressive to put in the effort for that 😉

Awww Thank you so much! It means a lot! 😊

[@istvangranicz5082]

loved the way you pronounced the name of the places... so funny to my Hungarian ear 😀

[@danielazziptrips]

I can imagine 😜😜

[@istvangranicz5082]

@@danielazziptrips Tapolka... love it 😊 the country is the most beautiful in late spring or early summer

[@yagi3925]

Non-native speaker of Hungarian writing here. To me it's not funny, it's unrecognizable. She obviously hasn't enquired about the principles of Hungarian pronunciation - how to read the letters. A botched job.

[@danielazziptrips]

@@istvangranicz5082 I plan on visiting again in the future during that time of the year!

[@sophiethechoiceofsophie2133]

I love following along with your adventures amiga 🤗

[@danielazziptrips]

I thought about you today actually! Sorry I have not been saying anything lately, still got a lot on my plate and trying to catch up with everything atm but miss you! 🥰 Hope you're well, and thank you for following along ❤️

Hi Dani, Have you been to Eger? I'm studying tourism here and it's a stunning city with the famous Eger Castle in the city centre. I also recommend you to read Eclipse of The Crescent Moon, it's a book about the siege of eger castle.

[@danielazziptrips]

Hi, I did not get the chance to visit Eger, no 😔 I did research about it so I'm aware of the city, but wasn't a place I could squeeze in our itinerary unfortunately. To be honest, I lost count of the amount of places I wanted to include but could not ahahaha thank you so much for watching the video and leaving the recommendation, I hope your tourism course goes well and I hope I can go to Eger one day in the future! ☺️

[@borisepshtein7627]

So interesting video! I like Hungary very much. I visited Hungary a lot of times, but there are a lot of places that I have not seen.

[@danielazziptrips]

I bet, it's such a wonderful country with so much to explore! Happy to see other people sharing their love for Hungary 🥰

[@anafilipacoutinho983]

Que bonito o Lago Balaton! Que belo vídeo 😘

[@danielazziptrips]

Obrigada Ana! É uma zona muito bonita sem dúvida ☺️

[@botondkardos2598]

Hello Dani! I loved your video! If you like the Tapolcai Tavasbarlang Then I highly recommend the Aggtelek Stalactite Cave, which is the largest cave system in Hungary and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Plus, there’s plenty to do in that region. I also recommend the eastern regions of Hungary to visit, for example, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Heves county or even Hajdú-Bihar county, as there are still the greatest values ​​of our country! I wish you good luck with your channel, which I will follow! Greetings from Hungary!

[@danielazziptrips]

Hi!!! Thank you so much for watching the video and leaving such a kind comment - apologies that it took so long to reply ☺️ appreciate you following as well! Thank you for the recommendations, there's so much beauty in Hungary that it can certainly be overwhelming to decide which places to visit. Hope you've been well and enjoying the beginning of 2023!

[@kituggyareborn7559]

greetings from Tapolca! :)

[@danielazziptrips]

Probably my favourite place in Hungary for sure! Thank you so much for watching 😍

[@eyalmeschman6895]

Hello Dani :) Ty so much for such a well put out video, I really want to visit Hungary this year and your video helped me out a lot! I am wondering tho, in which month did you visit the lake? Would you recommend the same month or would you recommend a different one? Hope to hear from you soon, thank you! 😄

[@danielazziptrips]

I visited during February! I would say during Spring-August it's going to be a lot prettier, but Summer can get very busy so it depends on if you mind traveling with crows or not ;) February is not the best season for that area but I don't enjoy traveling when it's too busy so it didn't bother me much! Thank you for watching 🥰

[@peterjakab8487]

04:50 It was probably a grey heron or a snowy egret. It's hard to tell from that distance, but I would go with the heron.

[@danielazziptrips]

Thank you! I wasn't sure too, so it's great to hear from others as I am definitely not a specialist when it comes to birds.

[@sandormonok3178]

Go for a fishing , or explore wheat fields of Hajdu-Bihar county in the summer! Greetings from Hungary! :)

[@danielazziptrips]

To be honest, I have never been fishing before so that would certainly be an adventure! It's fishing quite popular in Hungary? I saw plenty of lakes on Goggle maps that had photos of people with big fish in it, so I thought that may be the case.

[@Londonin]

Nice video ❤

[@danielazziptrips]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@khalidahizzaty]

Hi in which month was the video recorded?

[@danielazziptrips]

February!

[@ferencnorberttoth4991]

Well done! We have double and triple letters in our alphabet, write the names of towns in Goggle translator and listen to it! You vill smile. :)

[@danielazziptrips]

Definitely, the pronunciation can be pretty hard for non-hungarian speakers!

[@ferencnorberttoth4991]

@@danielazziptrips I know it. The Google can help you. Set the site in Hungarian language: Write in: Pécs, Tatabánya, Miskolc, Nyékládháza, Szabadbattyán, Győr, Somoskőújfalu, Nyíregyháza, Debrecen, Keszthely, Sopron, Budapest, Villány, and many more, before talk about them in your yideos, what are perfect and lovely!

Nice guide, and you are cute! :-) Come back soon. Greetings from Budapest! ;-)

[@danielazziptrips]

Thank you so much! I hope to be back one day :D

[@tibilap]

Hey! It's a great video! My only criticism that you butchered the Hungarian names, even Budapest and Tihany and so. Of course I understand you don't know the pronunciations, but if you just drop the names in Google, you can listen how Hungarians saying. Other than that cool video! ;)

[@danielazziptrips]

Thank you for watching the video and commenting on it. Unlike many other people, I appreciate how you mentioned the pronunciation without being rude or inconsiderate. I personally don't expect others to pronounce Portuguese town names properly, so I didn't realise how important this is to some. I have made an effort and will do in future videos, to pronounce each place properly. Hope you're well!

[@ok-vh7rz]

Hello ! You deserve much more views !! You should cut this long videos and upload them as shorter videos and create more simple and clickbait title and thumbnail and upload daily or 3 times a week. Try to imagine your youtube homepage as your competition if there are more interesting videos then ur videos will get less views. These videos are really well edited and everything, But you need to make them more interesting and simplier so average people will watch it too. (For example: I found the the most beautiful lake in europe. And thumbnail: map -> the balaton -> red circled or a nice balaton picture (change your thumbnails until you find the best click % (sry for my bad english.) . I just wanna help you because you deserve A LOT more views with this amount of work. I have youtube channel with 50million views and i started 1 year ago. KZbin 90% views came from ctr believe me.

[@danielazziptrips]

Thank you so much for trying to help out, super kind of you again! 50M in 1 year is super impressive! I have not been very good at attracting people to click on my videos, trying to improve that now! In general, I feel like I am not that good at growing fast on any platform no matter what I do. Thank you for your help, I am definitely working on that now!

[@izabellazombori-benczur7847]

3:03 Well yeah, you pronounced almost everything wrong, but thank you for trying :) No offense, but it was a littel funny how you tried :'D But I know, our language is one of the most difficult and very much different than english, so I understand.

[@danielazziptrips]

Ahahaahah I knew it 🤣🤣 I get that as I also find it quite funny, even cute, when overseas visitors mention the places that they have been to in Portugal, but it's perfectly normal since they don't speak Portuguese. To be honest, it is easier for English speakers to understand what I am talking about if I pronounce the places with English accent, so most of the time I end up going with that. Well, I hope that at least I could make you smile a bit while listening to my pronunciation 🤣🤣

[@andyhorvath6630]

This is the most superficial reaction I could imagine, you skipped the monastery because you couldn't get there by car? Blows my mind, you're like Americans, a few hours to visit a place is to long? I can't stand watching this any longer
