We're so stoked to share this chapter of our travels and adventures around our 36th country of Slovakia. With only a few days to explore this beautiful country, we set ourselves a budget of JUST €100 and tried to pack in as much as possible!! We really hope you enjoy this video, please do give it a like and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to join us on our road-trip mission to the Arctic Circle in Norway 🚐🌍

I like your video so much. Giving like and subscribing😉 Im happy you like the nature spirit of our small Slovakia 👍 I know all the places you've visited intimately from my childhood and love them so much. But thats was just a little bit of slovak nature and country side. You definitely should return and explore more 👍 Wishing you good luck to Nordkapp. Don't worry you'll do it. We did it last year with our small MPV car. It was amazing 3 weeks roadtrip adventure 👌Your Van is the most perfect choise for going to Nordkapp. I recommend you to go not only to Nordkapp but go to the real mostnorthen Europe's point called Knivskjelodden. Its 18km of hiking by foot but definitely it's worth it. Good luck and looking forward to the video 😉

Top video guys..I'm from poprad so have it all but living in other countries for a while and u 2 just reminded me what I miss a lot..thanks..❤

[@pavolhuserka3336]

I am Slovak and I am engaged in hiking, I recommend proper waterproof hiking shoes for such terrains as in the Slovak Paradise. In such terrain, it is important that the shoes are above the ankles. This will limit the possibility of leg injury by spraining the ankle. Thank you for visiting my homeland.

[@CoconutsandCamels]

Thanks for the info and a great recommendation! 🙏🏼

[@TheJammyGits]

Sooo happy to see you guys back on our screen, missed seeing what you’ve been up too! My new favourite saying is “I’m not grumpy with you, I’m just telling you I’m grumpy” 😂😂 such a good video guys! 👏🏼

[@CoconutsandCamels]

Haha thanks guys!! 🫶🏼

[@MattandRachelTravel]

Love how green everything is. Looks like there's endless amounts of nature to enjoy for free! Really stunning shots. Thanks for sharing!

[@CoconutsandCamels]

Yeah it realy is a lush landscape! Thanks!

[@TheAdventuringArtists]

I’m not grumpy with you I’m just grumpy 😂😂 Love the video guys!! We didn’t realize there is so much to do in Slovakia 😍

[@CoconutsandCamels]

The new slogan for our merch?! So much beautiful things to do when the weathers good 😅

[@TheAdventuringArtists]

@@CoconutsandCamels yessss 🙌🏻 and true 😭😂

[@jackiewarner1984]

Looks amazing! Loved the table top walk! xx

[@CoconutsandCamels]

Thank you! ☺ the walkway was so much fun to visit!

[@NK-bj8li]

I remember taking that same route up to the treetop walk when I was about 12, it was just after the skiing season so I walked along the cable cart route. On the way down I flipped my coat so the zip was on the back n ‘skied’ down on my stomach. I’ll always remember the fun I had.

[@CoconutsandCamels]

That sounds like alot of fun!

[@sussexexternalcleaning6276]

Best video yet guys !! Didn’t waste 1 minute of footage !!! Thanks so much xxx

[@CoconutsandCamels]

Thanks mate! We put alot into this one so we appreciate that :)

thank you for enjoying our country :) ... you are welcome again... I was most happy when you didnt litter on the ground :)

[@CoconutsandCamels]

Thank you for having us in your beautiful country. Of course, we always try to leave the place better then when we found it #LEAVENOTRACE kzbin.infoUgkx_g_Tr4zuKIFIMQzPpNFn8FPCtUlbd_qm?si=R092noygWbZG6QM5

[@ivanstefko2724]

Thank You for visiting Slovakia :)

[@CoconutsandCamels]

It was our pleasure!

[@madfrosty5228]

❤❤❤

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

Looks awesome guys. Budget is our favourite word 🤣 What’s Slovakia like for stealth camping in the van. We’re in Slovenia and it’s not great.

[@CoconutsandCamels]

Haha same! Yeah it was pretty good 👍🏼 a lot more options free parking then in Slovenia however there wasn’t many service points in the north.

[@radoONE79]

hey guys, Im happy you enjoyed my lovely country, but when I seen your budget 15 euros and you came to High Tatras, I start to laugh 🤣

[@CoconutsandCamels]

We set ourselves a budget challange of 100 Euros and did many amazing activities! Glad you found it amusing though 🤣

[@beatonthedonis]

Slovakia used to be cheap, but petrol is 1.75 euros a litre at the moment, supermarkets are more expensive than in Germany, and hotels and restaurants are more expensive than in Spain (especially in tourist regions like the High Tatras).

[@CoconutsandCamels]

This is true, it is well worth visiting though. With being able to stay in our van, we appreciate that we save alot!

[@ivanstefko2724]

Well everything is more expensive here, so it can be cheaper in western europe...

[@patrickhatas3868]

thats why is better invest the money in a van. In Slovakia and other eastern Eu countries is still camping possible without paying huge prices for camping sites as in Switzerland, Germany

[@Xellosakm]

Slovensky Raj sir,... :(

[@kurtcsk]

So you went straight for the dumbest tourist trap in Slovakia. Good strategy. :D

[@CoconutsandCamels]

We love a tourist trap! Still spent under 100 euros though! 🤣
