OFF THE BEATEN PATH TO THE PERFECT WILD CAMP - Van Life Italy

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

Mom (will be 99 this year), called me. I asked how she was doing. She said she has been traveling for 3 days! I asked where??? She said wherever Snow and Curt are! Mom was born in Brussels and came to Canada after the war as a war bride. So a huge virtual hug and thank you for your videos! I am so grateful that Mom is finding some joy in her long days. She keeps asking when you will go back to Belgium and France! I sent her the video of you in Belgium. She enjoyed it so much that she watched ALL of your videos, is all caught up, and anxiously awaiting more. She said ‘they are such nice people!’❤ So you have an avid fan who is close to 99 years old! Stay safe!

[@SnowAndCurt]

That's so amazing. Tell her we say hello and thank you for spending time with us🙏❤️☮️

[@lissalack1490]

I loved hearing this! So sweet, your mom is busy traveling. This is absolutely delightful and heartwarming. I enjoy Snow and Curt because they are closer to my age (70). I just can't relate to those 20 year olds, not at all interesting. Anyway, I happened upon Snow and Curt several years ago when they were In Mexico. Even with health issues- Snow's knee replacement and heart attack-they are relatable. Has your mom seen their older videos in South America?

[@cindycreateforlife]

That’s so sweet, bless your Mom!💕🇨🇦

[@cindycreateforlife]

Wow, epic! Snow, you are looking so good, you have made a truly amazing recovery! Just the fact that you had knee surgery and you are able to go on some pretty rough trails and climb is amazing! Curt, you always capture awesome views and thrill us with drone footage, I love your shout outs to Snow, you are so sweet! Enjoy and safe travels!💕🇨🇦

[@celestryalcelestryal6690]

This so did my heart good. Tell her hello from her fellow traveler!!

[@SparkyTuttle]

Snow, that shot with you sitting in the restaurant by the red roses, was stunning. You look 100% more healthy than I've ever seen you look. Absolutely beautiful. I still love the music you choose. For a location I have NEVER heard of, you both have made the 5 cities a must see, they are gorgeous. Thank you.

[@shw_1957]

Snow looks so cute in that hat!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you for the kind words! Feeling pretty good!

[@anneandrew3298]

I thought the same thing. Snow was glowing and looked so beautiful

[@lindawatson8087]

I thought the same thing.

[@sallyburkett-caskinette8723]

She is very photogenic, many of her closeup photos are stunning.

[@LoneTraveler-nc6rf]

Snow, Italy is bring out the very best in you. Your excitement is infectious and the joy in your eyes is apparent. Can’t wait to see what’s to come!

[@cgreen186]

I think this little town is so special. I think it's my favorite. Snow it looks like you are looking good and doing good. Curt you looking good also. Just so beautiful! I'll be watching this video again! This video did my heart good!. Snow I have been wondering how your meds are doing in Europe? Just say enough about this video. Be blessed in all you do my friends!

[@SnowAndCurt]

I'm loving it here!

[@Bindismom]

Oh gosh!! I am an artist and my very first commission was for this very town on the Italian Rivera! I painted that water, the hills, homes, every little window and balcony! Now, thanks to you, I’ve gotten to walk the streets and see it up close and personal. This video is at the top of the list for me. I shared it with the couple I painted it for, they are going to love it too. It’s definitely on their bucket list! Many thanks for this epic tour 🤗👍👍💖🎨

[@Jana-wz7dr]

Great ending with Vanna walking around the fortress. Seeing the 5 villages again was a treat. Not sure if you know, Vernazza was wiped out with a flash flood in 2011. The one central road was covered in mud, all buildings along it severely damaged, livelihoods affected, people died and some assumed dead, never found. A huge worldwide fundraising effort helped Vernazza come back and rebuild. Love the curvy drive you guys off the beaten path. Much better than any highway. Ciao

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Snow, I would venture to say that at your next heart checkup, they will find your heart strengthened significantly!!!! You are putting on MANY miles, and that has got to be good for you and your beautiful heart!!!!

[@doodlebug4022]

Beautiful video just like our friends Snow & Curt. Excellent music choices and a great way to end down the 5 villages of the Cinque Terre. Snow I just wanted to wrap my arms around you when you made it to the water/waves. Yes, you can do it and you DID IT! Curt, you’re the best too in cheering Snow on and helping her out when necessary.

[@raefreedom4154]

So true, but u can tell it’s hard sometimes.

[@Stephanie-kt9vh]

Snow, I don't know what it is but this part of the world agrees with you. You are absolutely GLOWING!! You're such a beautiful woman and you are absolutely radiant in this atmosphere!! The smiles on Curt's face are 2nd to none! The scenery and places are absolutely stunning ... I wait with anticipation for your post, but, seeing you two and your faces is the best part of it all. MY Heart smiles as well Curt when I see Snow and you making these incredible heart memories, as amazing as the videos are, the moments you two share that you cannot capture due to time and space, we aren't missing because we see them in your faces. Simply BEAUTIFUL! Be Blessed, Prayers for traveling mercies and God's favor to SHINE upon you guys. Thank you for letting us tag along. Blessings from North Carolina, USA

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks for spending time with us ‼️❤️🙏☮️

[@debyarger3084]

You captured the beauty of each town,yet I fell in love with this last one. Maybe it was the climb to that breath taking view where the sea meets the cliff where the town sits up high. The color of all the buildings just gives the town a bit of personality. The music you chose was priceless. You indeed have a world before you to explore! Thank you for sharing❤

[@Angel-hd2rs]

Mystical with the clouds settling into the mountains.

[@SFNativeGal]

The brickwork in that dungeon was so beautiful! Especially that huge dome ceiling. The hours upon hours of work to secure safety is amazing. Thank you so much for taking us through area of Italy I knew nothing about. The very small cities where the streets were mainly walking streets. How wonderful to get around the city without the use of a car! No pollution or noise. Thank you for starting my day with such peace from another part of our magnificent world. Perfect peace❤️

[@Graygramma]

Snow, your resilience and fortitude is an inspiration to all of us that struggle with health issues. You have not let yours dictate your lifestyle but like Curt said, what a champion. Cin cin!

[@bekimoore8761]

I always love the music you place so perfectly in your videos. The first song was my favorite this time. Thank you for brightening our days. You both bring us joy. 🤗❤️

[@gabygaedecke2411]

*SO* delighted to see you off the highways (autostrada) for awhile ... being in the country is your happy place, no matter what the weather. Thinking of all the toil and sweat that went into building those fortifications, each brick made and set by hand. Appreciation to those long-gone workers.

[@PlayfullyPainting]

Looking great Snow. I have had the same heart issues almost 2 years ago. I will be 60 this month and I'm so greatful. I still can't walk far without loosing my breath and making my heart work to hard. You are doing great. Thankyou both for sharing your amazing travels. Happy Van Life to you Safe travels.

[@Precursor-co7up]

The Fort was a nice find. Italy definitely seems to be more your vibe. It comes through in your voices. And G has his groove back. 😺 ❤ 🐱

[@marieesposito9145]

I noticed that most of the buildings in all the towns are painted in mostly yellow and pink shades with dark green shutters and doors.I was wondering if there is a historical meaning in the colors. Beautiful Italy ❤

[@suefitz2498]

You’ve picked the best places to see in Cinque Terre and I agree, they are all beautiful towns and I’d find it hard to pick my fave. Slow travel like you’re both doing is the best. I’m loving your European adventure ❤❤

[@lisacottrell5924]

Oh, this little village was so magical. I just love this area! Thank you for taking me there! I wish somehow I was there too!

[@Angel-hd2rs]

Loving the 5 little colorful towns you've shared with us recently. Look forward to seeing where you go next! Snow you looked so peaceful in this particular town.😻

[@marthaobrien3742]

Thanks once again for showing me the places I love

[@yipirinya1]

Lovely leg of the journey today....weather nice...food and scenery, people lovely...both of you looking very happy & healthy ..love from 🇦🇺

[@msvg3]

Another of my bucket list spots you’ve taken me to on your worldwide travels. And I’m so glad you took your time and found the little back streets. What a thrill, also, to see Snow taking those long strolls, too! What a lovely drive. Even if you didn’t have your ideal weather, the mistiness gave it an ethereal presence. ✌️❤️🚐

[@hollsee9266]

My nephew introduced me to Cinqa terra. I have not physically been there but he has a few times as he lives in London currently and he has swam there. We are from the west coast of Canada. Yes have to agree that the lifestyle of Europa is really agreeing with the both of you. It’s truly neat that you guys shipped your van from South America there. Been keeping up with Danny and Emily also. I woulda never known about them if it weren’t for you guys. All different fun adventures.

[@Yvonneb_]

Another great video thoroughly enjoyed xx

[@lissalack1490]

I really enjoy the maps you use; makes it easy to see where you are and the area you're talking about. Good job with the videos, guys! Such a beautiful area, glad you went in the off season.

[@kathyfawcett220]

Was so happy to see your video was up, grabbed my coffee and got my Italy fix. Snow you are doing so well good for you, lots of steps and hills all worth the beautiful scenery, the kitties look happy touring about and checking things out, I know I’m happy following along too, thanks you two. Looking forward to the next one ,love from Alberta Canada 😊.

[@apropergirl]

So glad to see the two of you off of the beaten track again! That's what I tune in for. Boo toll roads. I know they're unavoidable sometimes and probably necessary if you have deadlines, but they are so boring and not scenic at all.

[@MurielleInVirginia]

Another great video! Shots of the kitties sightseeing are priceless! Da life!

[@SnowAndCurt]

The best!

[@chrisbuchanan1193]

Loved this series. I was lucky to visit this place about 12 years ago and it's so beautiful. I really enjoyed seeing it from overhead with the drone shots- fabulous! You both look great but Snow's transformation has been amazing. Thank you!

[@dorid2427]

Thank you for sharing. Always learning ! ❤

[@myrnaedmisten599]

I loved seeing Vanna walking at the fort. Pretty kitty-epic. Thanks for what you are doing. ❤

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

Ahh the countryside. It is so beautiful. Even the fog and the rain have starring moments. I really liked that last seaside village you were. Don't you just love how the buildings are different colors? I do. The forests remind me a bit of being in Germany as a child. My parents immigrated to Canada where I was born. Europe is fascinating. I love the different architecture. Be safe

[@cheleshows]

Good morning I love seeing you both, good way to begin a day. What a beautiful little village. I sure do appreciate all the walking trail, by the sea, overlooking a cliff, walking on rocks .. shots. I could never do that,.I get to experience it all with you. Thank you. Buona giornata. 🌅🌞🌈

[@lydiastevenson8502]

Wow, that fort was amazing... so amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@Valerygallery]

Snow, you look so healthy and beautiful. I think you have a wonderful future ahead of you. You're a very lucky girl and have a very sweet hubby and two special little fur babies. You have a very magical, exciting life! Another beautiful video. I really enjoyed that area that you're in.❤

[@femalism1715]

The drone footage was spectacular! WOW!

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

Let me just say WOW SNOW!!!! The vid is amazing. But. Snow you look fantastic. Slim and trim, happy, content and healthy. So cute with your little hat. I know Curt has to be so proud of you. Hugs from a Mom.

[@JulieD4Me]

So beautiful and truly epic! Inspiring my husband and I to get out and see the world in a unique way also. My favorite traveling couple Snow & Curt!! Safe travels ❤

[@annabellegettingwell1531]

I am so excited that snow was able to walk up those beautiful cities on her bucket list!! I love the way you are so attentive with her Curt. Such a beautiful video. I love your music as well. It was so cool that you were able to capture some of that medieval fort! That was cool. I would love to see what your grocery hall look like. I’d be interested to see what is available in the area. I really like to see the little grocery stores bakeries restaurants on the inside. .

[@swilson691]

This is the very very top of my bucket list. I can not wait until i can visit the Cinque Terre. 💞

[@raefreedom4154]

I don’t know how Snow doing this, kudos to her! Many steps but up those hills, yikes. Sending u both many blessings and happy traveling! ❤

[@scubaval08]

You two are awesome. That is all.

[@kallasusort2986]

The last town was my favorite. Much cleaner, smaller size - PERFECT.

[@PhoenixBeI]

So epic! If you can, see if you can visit the Realmonte salt mine in Sicily. It's on my bucket list. It's salt from when the Mediterranean dried up and left these massive salt deposits. I bet you're going to love it!

[@tonyasreadyforwhatsnext1561]

Thanks for sharing safe travels cheers.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Our pleasure!

[@christinemichael3291]

Snow you look so healthy. Less altitude, near the water and warmer weather. Love the video!

[@DronesForGodsGlory]

Always fun to watch your travels my dear friends...thank you for posting them...and the drone shots are truly off the charts🤩may God continue to bless you and keep you safe i pray...

[@SnowAndCurt]

Our pleasure!

[@PaulSpeck-bv6wi]

the name of the fortress is Fortezza di Sarzanello located in the town of Sarzana. I am originally from the city and it was great to see the fortress highlighted in this video. I used to walk up to the fortress often when I was younger.

[@apropergirl]

Absolutely beautiful footage. Thank you!

[@kathysowers]

Loved all of Cinque Terre! I've only seen the picture postcard shots of the final town. Enjoyed seeing all 5, thank you!! The closing shots of little Miss Vanna Lollobrigida strolling with her dainty white French Manicure paws and gorgeous blue eyes - only needs a pair of sunglasses 😽

[@patriciatwalsh4479]

I love the video . Thank you for sharing. Snow you look so much better since last year. Continue with your healing.😊❤

[@PaulSpeck-bv6wi]

the name of the fortress is Fortezza di Sarzanello located in city of Sarzana, I am originally from that city

[@ninaanetteassarsson4328]

You both look sooooo happy 💕 It warms the heart !

[@SparkyTuttle]

That fort was really interesting. I would be up all night expecting ghost! Oh, I know they are there, lol! I can imagine the men, running back and forth trying to protect their town, farms and loved ones. These are not the shots of Italy you see in the tourist trades. These are the shots of real Italy. Lovely. Thanks again.

[@SnowAndCurt]

We love to find the REAL spots!

[@kathleenkircher2886]

Hello from the Midwest (cold but sunny). I just want to tell you both that you are the best to follow in your travels. I relate with you, Snow, with your drive to do all you want after dealing with heart issues. I’m there too. I love traveling as well and hope we can go someday soon to places like you have. Meanwhile watching you and enjoying vicariously. ❤

[@imagseer]

Another beautiful video, Italy away from the main roads is good for you both.

[@HildaHickey]

As usual, I love the video. You guys just make my heart so full with all the beauty you provide. Of all the places you have been to so far, if you had to stop touring, where would it be? Not to put a jinx on it, I hope you have many, many more years of beautiful traveling.

[@sharonholley6517]

Thank y’all for the views, and education of each town.

[@dianarider7712]

Guys, if you were in Manarola in summer time you'd see people cliff diving right into the little harbor area, as well as people swimming in the protected pool area of the harbor. Cliff diving happens in various spots along the Cinque Terre. We've seen it in a couple of places. Crazy people do this, not us!

[@kathycoffman1803]

Still loving all these videos guys. I watch you faithfully. You are relateable to me as im 60 and love to travel but strapped by cash flow due to a new illness. I love how you guys do a deep dive on the history. So not only do we get to see it but are taught things to. Maybe later on you should invest in more ebikes to get you from camp to the cities. The rest well i know would be walking as that is what europe is all about. Love seeing snipets of your cats which are some of the beautifulist cats ive seen. They are famous cat stars travelling more countries than most people. Snow,so proud how you have had to tackle steep roads and so many stairs. Cheers guys! Heres to health,happiness, adventure, and persevering through all the challenges

[@sherriereese3884]

Snow, I just wanted to tell you how pretty you look in all these videos. You look so stylish in your little black hat and black coat, very European. Love your videos.

[@barbaraburke1676]

Thanks for sharing and taking me with you in yalls journey, beautiful scenes and awesome historical sites too. Love yall,sending lots and lots of love hugs and prayers daily too. 🤗❤️🙏

[@gingerevans1346]

Hi guys! Am loving the Cinque Terre tour! Coincidentally I’m actually working on a Cinque Terre jigsaw puzzle. So it’s wonderful that you are there to show us what it looks like!

[@Peggy-Kay]

Beautiful video, and I especially enjoyed Vanna’s castle glamour video at the end! 😉

[@SnowAndCurt]

She is a princess 😻😻

[@thisaintsyourmomsaccount9693]

Loved this episode, was so beautiful….nice days….enjoy

[@jenh9252]

Love the way you described your lunch and it's cost. I live in Southern Spain and in comparison that was quite expensive! That was my favourite town!

[@anneandrew3298]

Good morning. Here I am in Sydney Australia at midnight embarking on another amazing adventure with you. Thank you 😊

[@SnowAndCurt]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@QuiltGeek]

Thank you for such a beautiful video. I especially loved the area around the fort. Absolutely gorgeous!! What a beautiful country. So enjoying your European adventure. Can hardly wait for each video to come out! Continued safe travels. Kathi

[@cgreen186]

I certainly don't know what happened to my comment but I made quite a few comments and somehow they got all lost. This was my very favorite town that you went to on these cities. Snow you are looking good and it looks like you're feeling pretty good. I wonder how your meds are doing in europe? Curt I just marvel at how wonderful you treat your wife. And yes she is a hero.. this is one of my very favorite videos and I will watch this one again this weekend. I love your wild place for your parking and that Fort reminds me a little bit about of the Alamo. But the Alamo isn't as old and a little better shape. This fort what is absolutely so amazing! What a neat fort. I was glad to see Kurt walking the kitties, I bet they missed you. Trying to remember what I said in the last comments is not too easy at 80 years old now. Also I noticed that it was a few minutes longer than most of them in fact I think maybe about 10 minutes longer. This video started my day with a smile on my face. I ended with a blessing and I wonder if KZbin deleted my comment because of it. If so that certainly was not a nice thing for KZbin to do. My comment did get posted but when I came back it said you only had three comments and mine wasn't one of them. Thank you for such a wonderful video and for all the work you do in making them for us. Kurt I so respect you on how well you treat your wife and also Snow because the two of you are such a beautiful couple as you travel the world.

[@SnowAndCurt]

KZbin does weird things sometimes... It happens more often than you would think!

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

Stunning area! Thank you so much❤

[@antoniollorente65]

How beautiful those 5 towns are. wonderful trip. thank you

[@eastwestpicayune8200]

Thank you for sharing. It reminded me of our visit there over 13 years ago. We were there for only 2 nights and hiked the trail. We didn't get to see the last two towns. I think taking the train is the best route. Love your journey. I'm still binge watching your central and South America journey.

[@sammayet9002]

Fabulous, fantastic and marvellous ❤❤❤ enjoy 🎉🎉

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝I loved all 5 cities & that fort was very cool as well as a nice parking spot. Thanks for sharing your journey. 🙏💝

[@Blueeys55]

Much much better! I think you will enjoy your stay here. However, I find I actually miss South America! This is beautiful though and worth seeing, and who better to see it than through your eyes guys! Enjoy you videos so much! Keep it up! I will be here waiting for your next travel experience! I think Portugal will be interesting as will some of the other countries! Can't wait!

[@MelliaBoomBot]

Another great video, thanks for your hard work putting these together. Great shots!

[@Lilla930]

I loved the Cinque Terre! My favorite part of my Italian vacation!

[@BethMartinez-r8b]

I'm so glad you loved Cinque Terre. You both are more than just Bucket List travellers. Spending time getting to explore the small rural areas that most people pass buy is the most rewarding way to travel and learn about other cultures. Thanks for taking us along.

[@pattyr6616]

I’m glad you were able to go in the fort, that was cool

[@sunnyandhunny3838]

I keep meaning to tell you puppy Chance loves to watch your show it’s so cute . He’s fighting lymphoma and this cheers him up G and Vanna

[@SnowAndCurt]

We love when fur family watches our vids! Tell Chance we send him big healing belly rubs!

[@danyceroppe463]

I absolutely LOVE your content. I started from the beginning a few months ago and now am caught up. Your vids can’t come quick enough for me!! And I love your background music choices. Can you share some of the artist’s names?

[@elizabethbarros667]

Bell'Italia ❤❤

[@pattiamaya4671]

As always I love you posts. I want to recommend you do a search for camping chair you can carry over your shoulder or like a lite backpack. That way you can stop and sit on those long up hill hikes etc., People would probably be jealous they didn't have one too. Safe travels from Austin. TX

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

I think you’re there at the perfect time of year! The image of the village is so incredible. It looks like a watercolor painting. By the way, Snow, how’s your knee doing with all those stairs?

[@SnowAndCurt]

It's doing awesome! It does get a little stiff if I do a ton of stairs, but it feels back to normal the next day!

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

@@SnowAndCurt - that’s awesome!

[@kerstinjohanssongidlund8947]

[@jch1965]

What amazing views! Loved it all. ❤

[@drthomason7043]

My country had lovely colourful homes like these but sadly TV home decorating programmes from countries where monotone colour schemes are predominant seem to have made their influence. It was something I'd love on returning home. There could be another reason. Dyes are becoming rare. Love the fortitude of the residents of these Hardy residents and their ancestors, great videos. Thanks so much.

[@tedrydell]

Thank you for the wonderfull tour I got to take in Italy. I felt I was right there with you both your videos are outstanding,

a really good litter is "cats best" they make it out of wood fiber. i find it's way less dusty and it keeps smells contained very well. (pro tip: mix in a cup of activated charcoal that people put into fishtanks)
