I don’t know what it is about these two that’s just so wholesome, I watch all their videos with a smile on my face.

They’re Canadian

[@Martytoofree]

when street cats are looking happy and well fed that means this place is populated by really good people... and so you are you two really nice trip, thank you

[@lakhdarbedjouti1258]

Montenegrins are good and generous hosts. When expecting a guest, according to an old time custom, as a sign of hospitality they open wide the door or the gate. They offer to the guest the best food and drink they have in the house

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! That is wonderful hospitality.

[@CB-jv6cj]

When I was in Montenegro I had more the feeling that the people were very unhappy with all the tourists and that they would rather not have them there. The nicest people I met there where all Croatian. That doesn't mean it is all like that because we only went to Budva and Kotor but that was our experience. Croatians where lovely, Bosnians too but the Montenegrins where a little more grumpy most of out trip. Again thag might not be true everywhere though.

[@Anna-ym5mh]

@@CB-jv6cj well we all have different views. I've been in Croatien, it was so awful because host family was nervous, they yelling at 6 in the morning and they really don't wanna to see you in your room. Wi-fi was shut I don't know why, but when we are back then again everything was normal .. To expensive, there's no so much place to go, really bored. Split was nice but that is all. Croatien no way anymore. Thanks but no..

[@CB-jv6cj]

@@Anna-ym5mh That is such a shame, I have been in Croatia 2 years in a row and I haven't had any bad experiences. We have seen the most amazing places there too. Omis and Makarska are so incredibly beautiful. Zip lining through Omis is absolutely amazing. Dubrovnik is very pretty too, a bit too crowded by tourist for my liking but outside of that it's well worth a visit. The people where so sweet in Croatia. We met the loveliest people in Montenegro and Bosnia but all of those people originally come from Croatia. Most montenegrians were so grumpy, I nearly got taken by a group of 6 big men into a taxi to be raped there. Luckily I wasn't alone and got back in our own car but that was really pretty scary. I really love Croatia.

[@ANDJELINA]

@@CB-jv6cj yeah I think it was a bit too mjch for some regions, since some tourists are very loud and obnoxious. But its very personal. Depends who you meet to be honest. Not all tourists respect the locals and their culture. I live in Holland and Amsterdam is crowded with touristd and I avoid it like a plague....

[@SuperWoodstock007]

All parts of your videos are a delight. I do admire how well and how much you eat.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Peter! We sure do love our food...hahaha

[@MrsOzge-dg5jq]

I love you guys! You ARE amazing! It's really nice of you to feed those poor animals in the streets. I wish all the tourists acted like you! Sensitive, respectful and caring! Thank you! Love you!

Wow the view from the top of the castle is amazing.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! Hiking up was a real highlight for us.

Thank you!

[@Linkbetweenus27]

I really like how you guys explore the lesser known places in Europe. You could easily just do London and Amsterdam a hundred times over, but you guys are really choosing some great looking locations in places most people in Western Europe or North America don't even think much about. Keep it up guys!

The cats in this part of the world are so friendly! We're in Croatia at the moment and are enjoying getting to know all the neighbourhood cats 😁 We're heading to Kotor in a couple of weeks, so it's great to see what it's like over there. We're going to have to get ready to climb all those stairs!

Thanks Todra! Sounds like great plans. Can totally relate to what you're saying. Maybe Istanbul and Kotor have been our fav cities for meeting kitties.

Sadly we will be arriving at 2 pm to Kotor so more likely we will have to pay the 3 euros lol Thank you so much sharing and for being very informative .... you both are the cutest , God bless !!

Eso es genial de escuchar! Visitamos durante noviembre y fue agradable pero llovió la mitad del tiempo. Es posible que desee quedarse una o dos noches más para obtener el mejor clima posible durante su estadía.

[@spooner3452]

It seems to me that this tiny nation is completely under the radar of tourists from the West. I mean in every tourist agency here in Santa Barbara, CA they're offering a cruise trip to Montenegro. It looks spectacular really.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is cool to hear. Yeah, it is still quite underrated in many ways. We'd highly recommend going though.

[@gretaorban6932]

Hey guys. Really nice video. I was wondering if you remember how early you started your hike at the fortress when you did not have to pay yet. :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

If I recall correctly maybe it took us an hour or hour and a half to get up there and less time going down. Maybe it wasn't being administered because it was kind of off-season when we visited.

i giggle a lil bit when i read the name of the place "kotor"... to whom who might curious, try to translate "kotor" in google translate from "malay" to "english"... the name of this place is obviously the opposite of what it mean in "malay". such an awesome place, wish to visit it in the future

[@thewanderingweave6286]

Excellent video. Makes me want to go. We're looking into this area although we've next booked for Albania. Question..... what sort of drone do you use for the filming? Interested in getting into that. Audrey, you are very pretty. Sam... what's with the dodgy hats?!! ;)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! That is cool to hear. You'll have to let us know how Albania is since we didn't get that far south on this trip. We're using a GoPro Karma which is pretty much the worst one you can have for portability. Would highly recommend checking out the newly released dji mavic air. It looks amazing. Casey Neistat did a cool review on it recently.

[@thewanderingweave6286]

Thanks for the heads up on the drone! I am hoping to start posting some travel videos soon although they won't be as professional as yours....! Hopefully will get some good footage of Albania in May. There isn't an awful lot of footage on youtube on that country, although Gabriel Traveler (another of my fave vloggers) has done some good videos.

So interesting about the cats! In Israel, they also have feral cats, but they are truly wild cats that you dare not play with. Do you know why these feral cats are so docile? If not, is there anyone you can ask?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! I'm just assuming this but I think they're born nearby humans and survive mostly by the generosity of people nearby them so they become friendly from an early age.

We were in Noumea New Caledonia and had been for a week , regularly eating and drinking at our favorite bar when all of a sudden one day the menus were taken off the tables and new ones with double prices replaced them ... it turned out that a cruise ship from Oz had just docked. When I went to pay our bill I just said "I will see you again this evening" in French and the bill was torn up ... gratis if you were a regular from Oz it appears. Was it the same in Kotor ? How funny can travel be ....

Ah, so you *were* to Kotor, after all. Of course you were - what was I thinking :o) That green stuff with fish was probably chard, not spinach. And that "cream" on the pizza was "kajmak", fermented cream skimmed from boiled and cooled milk. "Cesarica" means "empress" in the dialect shared with Dalmatia ("cesar" cf. "tsar" or "keiser") (Ah, one word Audrey mispronounced :o)) )
