Europe TOP 3 Places to Visit - Top Destinations After One Year Full-Time Travel

[@saradianabarbu5231]

As a Romanian , well , born in Romania . I always were embarrassed about the country I'm in , because our country was always underated and now most of people are scared to tell anybody that we are from Romania , but now that I saw your list , I'm not embarrassed anymore that I live in Romania . I realized how beautiful my country is. Im sincerely grateful for visiting Romania and make me feel proud of my country .

[@BrianandCarrie]

You have nothing to be embarrassed about, Sara, your country is amazing!! We loved it so much we plan to return in the coming years. Be very proud of Romania!!! Cheers!!!🍻

[@saradianabarbu5231]

@@BrianandCarrie , I promise I will . Your video kinda changed my opinion . Most kids and teenagers are taught that Romania is not good enough and that it does not profit. That's probably why most Romanians think this about their country. Words cannot describe how grateful I am. If I wouldn't find this videos I would still be embarrassed when someone was asking "What country are you from". Now I will proudly say "I'm from the beautiful country , Romania" Thanks a lot 🤗🥺

[@QueenBee-mk8xm]

@@saradianabarbu5231 I wonder why people have this impression about Romania. I think here in London, we are used to many people from Romania living here and find Romanians to be really nice and kind people, but we don´t have a clue what Romania is like. I certainly had no idea and just imagined it to be mainly rural and countryside. I think Romanians abroad should start telling everyone how beautiful and amazing their country is. Only problem with this is that tourism will increase and in time, that could be a problem, but it could also be a good thing for the country :)

[@katdodd5801]

Romania is beautiful and I have never felt so welcomed. I loved it and would love to return.

[@lantran8967]

Never been to Romania (soon) but I respect and love your history ❤. You should be proud 🙂.

[@ThruAWiderLens]

Agree completely on Romania which we visited last month. It feels like the most "authentic" place we've visited in Europe. People are wonderful, as you say. There aren't a lot of US chains. (I saw one Subway in the Bucharest train station, and a McDonalds somewhere else, but they are few and far between). The mix of influences and cultures over the years gives it a wonderful variety of architecture, food, customs, etc. My prayer is that they can retain everything that makes the Romanian experience wonderful, even as more tourists discover it.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Romania is such a proud country that we would like to believe that it will remain authentic. That is one reason we found it so wonderful. Thank you for watching and for the comments. We couldn't agree more! Cheers!!🍻

[@tenzindolma6266]

Glad, as a Romanian, that my country is in second place on your list !! I am sure that, in time, what you have noticed as less ok (public transport, trains, others) will be improved... Yes, we enjoy being visited and love those who do so with respect for our values and the beauty of nature. I look forward to your return, Brian and Carrie!

[@BrianandCarrie]

We have so much more of Romania to see and can't wait to return!! Thank you for the comments and kind words! We have found that the Romanian people are very hospitable! Cheers!!🍻

[@tenzindolma6266]

@@BrianandCarrie Dear friends, a lot of ex-pats have found a country here to work or retire to. From the USA, the UK, Western countries in general, and beyond. It's easy to understand that life is much cheaper here for a westerner, at almost similar living conditions. Last but not least, the country itself is not boring at all. On the contrary, the diversity of the geography, the ethnographic and cultural differences between the different regions, the quality of the people, make it attractive to those who are looking for a nice and cheaper place. These months there are discussions about Romania's entry into Shengen. Let's hope that this point on the list of political demands will be checked soon...

[@BrianandCarrie]

As beautiful and diverse as Romania is, the people were what stood out to us the most. We have multiple reasons to want to return but the feeling that we are welcomed back is wonderful! Thank you for the comments.

[@64marro]

My dears, I followed your journey through Romania. You did this maturely and in a different way. Even though I'm Romanian and I'm very proud of my country, I was impressed by how you saw this part of the world. We know that we are different people, that we have hidden our identity, that we are that island of Latinity in a sea of ​​Slavs, that perhaps modesty characterizes us and we are waiting to be discovered. Romania is a story and you have only tasted it. I know Americans who came for a week and stayed for 3 months fascinated by what WE are, as a nation, as a people, as a history and we are very proud that we have not lost ourselves as authentic. I'm not pleading for Romania, I'm just encouraging people to come and discover what Pope John Paul II said, that Romania is the garden of the Lord's mother. How did we stay in the history of several thousand years of humanity and keep untouched this mysterious heritage and the unique soul of the Romanians. Today...we are insulted...as the worst country in Europe, because we don't have the "comfort" of the West. Does it matter? You are real witnesses of what Romania means, this hidden secret of Europe, that here is soul, there is tradition, there is history and there is humanity. It pains me to see how the Western Europeans discredit us when we have burned our country for hundreds of years like the Russians or the Turks and then the Germans, and the Austro-Hungarians from conquering us. Romania is a story, a shield of this Western Europe that attacks by insensitivity what it should recognize.. its prosperity is the sacrifice of Romania... FIX WHAT UKRAINE IS TODAY. Thank you for the introspection and the discovery of a story. We are waiting for you with great love to see the unique and speechless part of Romania... Bucovina, Maramures, Delta, Trans Fagarasanul, Cazanele Danube and many others that have references for humanity...not for Romania. Romanians have moved forward and have not forgotten where they come from and have been since the beginning of human civilization. We are proud of what we are and if anyone thinks that these words are just advertising... come here to drink a pint, eat SMALL, tell stories and believe that the world will be better. We and my country..THIS IS WE!

[@BrianandCarrie]

We LOVE this, Marian! So poetic and heartwarming. The people of Romania from the very beginning of our time here were very welcoming, friendly, and gracias. We have mentioned this to our family and friends back home in the US. Kindness has been lost in a lot of ways. Being in Romania for 2 months was refreshing and we are excited to return one day soon. Thank you for taking the time to add your thoughts to this channel. You are always welcome. ♥

I traveled to more than two dozen countries, I was born in Romania, and I live in US. Spain is my favorite country in Europe, and I have to say that you put a smile on my face when you ranked my native country ahead of Spain :) I'm glad you had a great time in Romania. When I travel to Spain, I usually visit Madrid or Barcelona because I like non-stop flights, but after watching your videos, I definitely wanna check out Alicante. France is also a great country with amazing food, but Spain is more affordable and has better weather. But with the current exchange rates, almost everywhere it's cheaper than in US. Let's hope the strong dollar lasts! Happy travels!

[@BrianandCarrie]

The one thing that we found Romania has over Spain is the people of Romania are much more welcoming. We really felt welcomed. Spain is amazing and the people are kind but we were blown away by the hospitality in Romania. Thank you for watching and safe travels. Cheers!!🍻

[@armandolima823]

I'm Portuguese, so nice to see you picked Portugal as number one👍 Porto and the Algarve are great, but there's so much more to see. I use to say Portugal is the best condensed package in the world for tourists, as a small country you can do and see so much without losing time in exaustings trips. Make sure next time to visit Aveiro and it's canals, Óbidos and its medievil charm, the laid back unspoiled region of Alentejo, Cascais, Sintra, Setúbal and it's amazing beaches. I could go on but you get the idea 😎 All the best and felicidades!

Hi guys. I knew you would pick the Algarve. Portugal's got the whole package! Costs, wineries, food, people, scenery, and the ocean. It's my favorite too and Ive been to 100+ countries. Im in Romania now and have been rewatching your videos as a refresher. They have come in handy. Was wondering wny there are no videos of Croatia, B-H, and Serbia? You're gonna love SE Asia especially as a budget traveler. Keep up the good work.

Hello Brian and Carrie. We are Tim and Christina, and we have been traveling mostly in Europe for over 10 years. Recently we bought an apartment in the country, Georgia, where the cost of living is very reasonable. Also, like Albania, you can stay for one year, without a Visa. Now that we have our home, we spend several months here in Georgia, then we travel again, for several months. In November, we'll go to New York, to see our son, then it's on to Strasbourg, France, for 3 months. We'll spend a month in Sibiu, Romania, a week in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, before heading back to our home here in Chiatura, Georgia. We really enjoyed watching your video, and learning about all the places you've been.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Wow! Love this! We like the idea of getting a place as a home base, that was our original idea but decided to slow travel. If we do decide to stop it would only be for maybe three to six months. We do plan on coming back to Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The week that we spent in Bosnia was nice and would like to see more. Thank you for watching and safe travels. Cheers!!🍻

I have been to 7 European countries: Spain, Portugal, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, France and Italy I've excluded Turkey as most of it is in Asia).. Spain: Been there 4 times now but haven't been to Valencia although I have recently been to Alicante and i liked it. Seville was amazing and probably my favourite city in Spain along with Barcelona. Greece: Been there 3 times, and been to Santorini twice (once on a Greek Island cruise and in late April for a few days which is the best time to visit) Portugal: Been there once mainly to Lisbon and Madeira but never been to Algarve.- a lot of Brits there. My top 3 for sure are: 1. Italy 2. Spain 3. Greece But I loved Portugal, Malta and Cyprus too. France is a no-no for me lol South East Asia is my favourite region: Been to Malaysia 5 times, Thailand 4 times, Singapore 3 times, Indonesia and Philippines twice each - and I have still not finished yet with 1 more trip to Thailand, 1 more trip to Malaysia, 1 more trip to Philippines, 1 more trip to Indonesia, and hoping to visit Brunei and Vietnam for the first time.

Hy guys. I don't want to write a long story but I want to thank you for your visit in Romania first of all. Also, I want to recommend you a place which has not much publicity as Brasov, Bucharest or Cluj but a place which I cam bet that will give you so different good feelings, a very spiritual and cultural region of Romania, named Bucovina. You'll discover a lot of ancient history there and you cannot miss the Putna monastery. I stop here. Write this on your notebook: Bucovina. I wish you all the best 👌 and I hope that Romania will welcome you again in these other corners which definitely worth to be seen.

Fun fact about Albania and Romania. Back in 1912, when Albania became an independent state, they were thinking of a national anthem. They had the lyrics, but not the music. There was a Romanian patriotic song, which the people of Albania liked very much and the government decided to purchase the rights to use it as their national anthem. Even today, if you listen to the Albanian anthem and that Romanian song (Pe-al nostru steag e scris unire), you'll see they're practically identical musically. Just goes to show how Europe is one big family despite all our differences. Edit after watching the video to the end: Just a small correction on one of the city names in Romania. I think you've misread "Alba Iulia" as "Alba Lulia". There's no L at the beginning, it's actually a capital I. It's pronounced "Yulia", but if it's easier in English, you can also say "Julia", cause that's what it actually means. The town was originally built by the Roman Empire and that's where the name comes from.

[@BrianandCarrie]

This is a fun fact, and we should ALL be one big HAPPY family!!! 😀 And yes, we miss pronounced Alba Iulia and have been corrected many, many times! 😅😅However, thank you for being polite about it. And thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. We appreciate the support. Cheers!!!🍻

Absolutely loved your year-in-review! You should do these once a year for as long as you keep your channel running. As for the suggestions, there are so many more affordable places in Europe that you should do yourselves a favor and visit. For the summer months, when it's scorching hot all over the place, I can't think of a better destination than the Baltic states. All three are fantastic countries with delicious food and prices about on par with Romania. We had just spent the second half of July in Riga, Latvia, and I just can't say enough great things about it. It's right there in the center of the region, a 4-hour bus ride away from Tallinn and Vilnius. Please check them out during summer or early fall months!

We are headed back to Portugal (Azores and Maderia) on Monday and spending the last three weeks of November in Seville and Malaga. As also being from the Pacific NW (Gig Harbor) the Azores sound very similar to the PNW and less crowded than Maderia. But Maderia has the better moderate (not too hot/not too cold) weather. Safe travels!

We did many of those countries and done the slow travel and fast travel....we came to the same conclusion....the fast travel doesn't leave room for serendipitous actions that come from some wild encounter with new found friends, who just happen to be heading to a "Must see" place, or that wrong train that takes you to a street festival, or the ability to sneak in a few more festivals.....and in that note ...Spain!! I can never leave without missing out on a festival. Check out their festivals for the next trip, make sure you are there for San Juan, or Jordy as some of the young call it, and do at least a 2 day on the Camino , when you do Northern Spain theres a stretch through Lalin, Camino De Invierno, you can also pick it up in Ourence and walk to the end.

Hi, Mary. We have been traveling SE Asia now for the last 4 months and having a great time. We would still have the Algarve as our top choice for any long period of time. We will be heading back to Europe in late summer this year and then to Mexico in mid-October. We will research San Miguel de Allende, sounds like our kind of place. Thank you for the recommendation! Cheers!!🍻

[@HolyRainbowism]

Love you, guys. ❤️ I’m so happy you guys loved Romania and keen to go back again. Yes, the north-east part of Romania (Moldova-Bucovina) is beautiful, i have no doubt you’ll love it. The Danube delta will be a unique and special experience for you, guarantied. But i STRONGLY recommend Maramures. Maramures is the very northern part of Romania, towards the border with Ukraine. From Cluj, just keep going north, soon you’ll find yourself in the magical Maramures. If i start telling you about the landscape, the traditions, the food, the people, even the music up there is unique and special. My opinion is that Maramures is the most magical region in Romania, winter or summer, it doesn’t matter, the magic goes all year round. Maramure, the northern part of Transilvania, YOU WILL LOVE IT. I was born and lived in Timisoara, my both parents are from around Oradea, but i recommend Maramures to anybody who wants to be touched by magic. You’re welcome. 🤗

Nice informative video. I´m agree with you, the Algarve in Portugal is a stunning place. I go there almost every summer and the people, food, weather, places to visit, beaches, etc are fantastic. You have to go to an area near Algarve but crossing the border, to Cádiz and Huelva provinces in southern Spain ( my country), you will feel something very similar to the Algarve, friendly people, good weather, long sandy beaches, good seafood, parties, many natural spaces and biking paths, etc. Regards !!

We visited many places you listed in this video, looking for the perfect spot to spend more time in, year after year, especially during winters, as we call Ontario home, now. We visted South-East Asia some 5 years ago and loved it. We went there just before the raining season. South Vietnam and Cambodia was excellent. Thailand is beautiful but full of tourists, so pick the off season time and/or stay away from very popular places unless you like crowds. Bangkok! What a city! Excellent public water transportation, nice people. Good luck in your travels! Jurek

[@SendMoreParamedics13]

Speaking from experience (8 years of traveling and moving around)- the more places you see, the less you end up wanting to settle. For me, it's been that long journey of finding the "perfect place" to settle. In reality, the more places you live and the more you actually have to compare- the more critical you become. I've realized at this point that the "perfect place" doesn't exist. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys get up to in SE Asia. I lived there for 2 years. It's a completely different type of travel experience than what you guys have been doing so far. Just keep an open mind, and you'll have a great time!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you for the insight, Brandon. We are only a year + in and finding that we will be traveling with short stops along the way to relax for a bit before continuing our travels. Finding that "perfect place" will be a challenge for the reasons you mention. We would love to hear any SE Asia tips or destinations that you would recommend. Thank you again for your insights and for taking the time to comment, we very much appreciate the support. Cheers!!🍻

[@SendMoreParamedics13]

@@BrianandCarrie I would highly recommend starting off with Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It's a great place to begin- as you won't immediately be thrown into the absolutely insanity that you may find in other places (don't get me wrong, its still pretty nuts). English is one of the official languages- but there's still incredible culture and food. You have the Malay, Chinese and Indian populations, so the food and city reflects that. You will find a mosque on one street where you will hear the call to prayer, then a street over will come across a Buddhist or Hindu temple. It's a great place to start because it's almost like Singapore or Hong Kong in the sense that it feels "East meets West" (but still feels far more East). Once you leave KL, you've got incredible nature. Green, lush rainforest. I lived there for 8/9 months out of the two years I spent in Asia. The KL airport will also allow you to reach MANY other Asian destinations quite easily. 😃

If you're planning to revisit Portugal, suggest you spend some time in the Azores, islands that are a two-hour flight west of Portugal. It wouldn't be an exaggeration call the Azores 'Hawaii in the Atlantic,' although nowhere near as expensive -- quite the opposite.

We're thrilled to be able to watch your videos on all 3 places!

You will find much better produce at small produce stands around town and better meat at the local butcher. The items you are used to buying you may not find in Albania. The variety of items just isn't available. We spent over 5 weeks in the country, so we survived, it's just something to be aware of is all.

We’re moving to the Algarve in November. That’s the plan but we have to live there to make a final decision to stay. Madeira is a strong possibility but we’ve never been. So, we’ll see.

But just like you, we’re keeping our minds open and see what happens. Nothing is set in stone!

Hey Brian and Carrie! Hope you are enjoying your travels! I've think I've watched everyone of your video's so far:) LOVE them! Thank you so much for all your time and effort! My Husband and I have just started slow travel and arrived in Albania a week ago. We then plan to make a loop similar to yours Montenegro, Romania etc.and hopefully end up in Portugal in September. I writing to beg for some desperately needed advice! This is the first time we have ever traveled without a car (also on a budget) and as the sole trip planner I'm finding myself so stressed about figuring out transportation that I'm not enjoying myself at all! Any advice you could give on this would be AMAZING! How you decide between car, bus, train etc. and how you figure it all out. A video on this topic would also hugely appreciated (hint, hint). Thanks again, keep up the great work and safe travels! Nina

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hi Nina! I (Carrie) 100% feel what you're talking about as I'm the sole travel planner for us as well. Planning transportation is something that can definitely be time-consuming, especially in the Balkans. Albania lacked any level of infrastructure and I found it the most difficult to navigate. I was lucky to just find a website that told a general timetable of buses and the street corner where we should stand to catch it 😅. The good news is, from the places you mentioned, transportation gets much better as you move along. Basically, my process is: Prior to traveling to a new country, I research transportation. Do they use Grab, Uber, Taxis, or another app? This way I can have it downloaded prior to arrival. Do they have a train or bus system and is there an app or website to book on? Having this info prior to arriving has helped alleviate my stress level a bit. In most areas you travel you can use the Get by Bus website (love this one) and Trainline for booking trains. For the areas these sites don't cover, the country typically will then have its own website (for instance Romania uses CFR Calatori). One tip for Romania (we absolutely loved it there) the trains move very slowly and they don't have AC. Book tickets in the early morning hours for the best comfort level. Also, buses are a good option, but also don't have AC - so let's just say early morning hours are your friend! Honestly, for our planning and learning about an area, KZbin has been a huge help! That is probably what inspires us to create videos providing this kind of info as it's what we were searching for as well 😊. Hope this helps a bit. Enjoy your travels!
