5:06, this is my friend Andrija haha. I will show him the video, its cool to see a prespective like this as a person who was born and raised here in Dubrovnik. I expecialy liked you talking with the locals, it was interesting 🙂. Good quality video and timeline to watch too. Also as for the prices, everything went up for us locals too, when we switched to Euros, but the average paycheck is around 1000 or a bit less Euros. For example a 0.5L bottle of orange juice, would cost like 6 or 7 kunas in a store. Now you will probably pay 2 euros or more for a soda and that would be around 15 kunas.Taxes are 25% and owning any business has a lot of expenses to even have it open. So its a bit of a rough time expecialy for low and middle class now i would say, hopefully the paychecks increase , more support for the locals to own a business , and last 2 years a lot of migrants have been coming and working for minimal wages, so that also has a big impact.

Thanks for such a detailed comment and the kind words brother! Really glad you enjoyed the perspective- and greetings to your friend when you see him, he was a lovely chap! (Man) in the UK the prices have got much higher in recent times - the fuel for cars, food and electric (the whole cost of living) is really high and although the average salary is a bit higher than Croatia - many people and businesses are still really struggling, many shops are closed because of this. I hope things improve to help the good local people of Dubrovnik and Croatia, Beautiful city and Country.

Man of the people, vibing with the locals. You're almost making me want to edit and post my own Croatia visiting videos that I did when I was there.

You absolutely gotta speak to the locals wherever you are- Sometimes they are hard to find amongst the tourists! lol. you definitely should edit that travel and get it on your channel or a separate one brother! Much love!!

@@RyandLoz Also, the reputation of being British and speaking English is such an advantage I find. Especially when you run into people who want to practice their English with a native. LOVING the series and the fact that you are taking in the world. Good on you.

@Mumra2K Thankyou brother, I try to learn some of the local language to get by and show there’s some effort and interest to interact with people. It is convenient that a lot of Europe and the world in general speak some English, whether fluent or not, but I do like to get myself in places where- as an English speaker, you have to put some effort in! lol. Currently in Hungary and having a blast, loving the travels. May be heading into India in a few months and then South America at the end of the year 🫡

Best thing I’ve done! My last 2 jobs taught me that life is never guaranteed- very easy and tempting to ‘wait until next year’ But if you have the ability to do it, I would absolutely make it a priority to see the world! I’m stoked to see the likes of South America etc! Thanks for the comment and hanging around the channel! 👍

I was in Croatia when the was was just finishing as part of the UN peacekeeping force - it was horrific
@RyandLoz8 ай бұрын
Sounds horrific, the people I spoken with off camera said those were horrible days to live through - over 50% of Dubrovnik alone was affected by the bombs, war is a horrible thing.
