A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this KZbin channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)

Thanks so much for watching you lovely people! ☺️ A quick update, we are planning to upload the rest of our summer tour of Estonia videos in the coming weeks so that we can move onto our next country (as you may have seen on our Instagram!) we ended up being more behind on our videos than usual since we filmed so much during our last month in Estonia to try and make the most of our last days there. We’re working hard to get extra videos out and try to catch up, hope you enjoy them and as always, thanks for watching! Hope you’re all doing great out there!

[@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens]

Hey guys. Amazing video once again. We have definitely added Estonia to our bucket list😁. The weather really looked amazing! We really want to visit Parnu's Bridge of romance ☺️. Such beautiful churches and parks. Party in Parnu😁

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We will forever recommend this beautiful little country to the whole world. It is a place everyone needs to experience at least once, it is unlike any of the other 52 countries we’ve been to😍

[@TheMapPinners]

Parnu seems like a lovely little city. The Churches were beautiful. The common green spaces, the live music, the beach - all charming and wonderful! :) the food and outdoor restaurant patios looked really nice too. I especially had my eye on that coffee ☺️ nice job guys!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s a really cute seaside city😊 thanks for watching!

[@TheNewbys]

Great work TKT. thanks for sharing.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

This is making me miss summer guys! Can’t wait to see the rest of the summer videos. Parnu looks so lovely! No idea there were such lovely beaches in Estonia

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We are the same, editing all this summer tour footage and reminiscing! ☺️ we had no idea of the beaches in Estonia either it just doesn’t really get advertised to us in the UK, hidden gem!

[@elenisideri9222]

Great video! Looking forward to travel to Estonia hopefully soon! 🤗🤗

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you 😊 hope you get to visit soon!

[@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens]

Hey guys. Aw loving this summer vibe video 🥰 looks like such a happy joyful place. Great editing to the music and great footage as always! Lunch looked absolutely amazing especially the coffee 🤣 The churches there look absolutely beautiful wow wow wow! So awesome Estonia has these flowers everywhere 🥰 it's a really well looked after country. Those drinks definitely looked amazing 🥰 Could definitely use some Parnu party vibes 😀 Drone footage was incredible as per usual guys. Have a stunning weekend and thank you for sharing this great video ❤️

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thanks guys, we find editing city footage particularly tricky as it’s more intricate. The flowers all over Estonia have been so amazing to see. Have a great weekend too! 🤩

[@SorgiStories]

That declaration of independence from the Russian Empire...wow. It's like us seeing the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution when it's on display...but in modern glass sculpture form. That is awesome. That, and the George Benson guitar groove is now in my head. Love it.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was really cool to see it there and transport your mind back in time to what it must’ve been like standing there that day and hearing it being read out 🤩 would love to see the U.S. Declaration of Independence!

[@SorgiStories]

@@TideKnotTravellers That's on our list when we go to D.C. someday to see our Milwaukee Brewers play the Washington Nationals. The same building in D.C. also has one of the four originals of the Magna Carta.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Sorgi Stories that will be an awesome trip, that’s amazing that the Magna Carta is in the same building!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Sorgi Stories wouldn’t that just be the coolest, when this world gets itself back up and running again 😊

[@SorgiStories]

@@TideKnotTravellers YYYEEESSSS!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Great video! I love seeing all the beautiful scenery and things to do in Estonia. Parnu looks like a charming city. I'd love to visit in the summer too for the beach, the outdoor markets and to enjoy a drink on a patio. I 100% relate to your bloopers in this one 😂 sometimes I just can't speak.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s crazy when words just won’t come out no matter how many times you try 😂

[@AprilChu]

Parnu looks like a happening place! I loved all the church buildings and the beautiful parks...wonderful editing by the way. And seeing the loom in action must have been really cool. The rugs are gorgeous. Parnu Beach looks stunning...how nice to be able to enjoy a long sunset. The bloopers at the end were great. You guys share so much detailed info about the history, I always wondered if you could recite that in one take!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

April Chu thank you, yeh it’s a tricky job getting all the historical names and dates correct😅

[@DjusLife]

We have loved stumbling into festivals while traveling. We just got to experience one in Albania and it was so fun. Love that you guys got to experience a festival in Estonia!! So fun!! Such a cool destination, never heard of it. So much history and fun places. You guys are officially Estonia's embassadors to KZbin!!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

DjusLife it’s great to find these things😊 Pärnu is the place I think you guys mentioned before that you met an Estonian and they recommended you to go there. This is it!

[@abcwildlife6423]

Great channel excellent information well work fantastic sister

Thanks again 😊

I grew up in Pärnu

What a beautiful to spend your childhood🙂

[@peterl5804]

Love your videos and Estonia. I lived in Pärnu for a few weeks back in the summer of 1992. Things have changed a lot.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Glad you like them, can imagine how different it must look now! 😀

[@krystalanderic]

Ahh Parnu looks like such an amazing place! We just randomly came across your channel and I'm so happy about it. Can't wait to see your next adventures!

Reminder on ready!!!👍

[@Explorcation]

"Todays about to get wild" 😂 Hey guys! I really liked the music in this vlog. How nice to come across the festival. The guild was cool to see, I really enjoyed seeing how the rugs were made! Overall there was so much to see in this episode, you two were busy! I am glad you stopped for a vlogging break to have some drinks 🍻

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes we had planned to keep going but those seats and cocktails called us as we walked by 😄

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Looks like they have a pretty happening night life as well. Seems like a lovely place. Safe travels.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Lucas World Travel was probably the busiest we’ve seen out of everywhere we visited in Estonia 🇪🇪

[@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens]

The bloopers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahahaha i laughed sooooo much. Kirsty, i (Kelby) can definitely relate ! 🤣

You were lucky. Pärnu airport has renovations and it's closed. Usually it is controlled airspace. Fly safe 😊

[@RolandKontson]

Good to see at Pärnu are also Koidula park and the Vaasa park in-between of Endla theater and the bridge over Pärnu river - there are nice broad walkways on both shores with benches. Ducks seem to enjoy the river as well - almost always see them. More such walkways along the beach in both directions, when going south from the central beach there are parallel wooden pathways above the coastal meadow with taller wooden observation towers. Sometimes there are some local cows over a large area along the coast grazing there too, to keep the vegetation in check. I really enjoy riding along both shores of the Pärnu river and the coastal area with my bike in the summer.

[@RolandKontson]

Raeküla is the southern part of Pärnu. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH3ao2ydbcyDhZo ("UrbanCows") The roadways are near the treeline (where I usually saw the cows) or near the road nearer to the homes, there's still a sandy beach. To get to the sandy beach you'd have to walk through the coastal meadow.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

You could be a Pärnu tour guide 😊

[@rupsti]

Hei! Graig was not wrong about the bridge of romance! :) It's a tradition in Estonia to put locks on some certain bridges. Newlyweds put locks on bridges to show their loves strenght. :)

[@reetturner6193]

Aaaaah NORMALITY ...heaven 💙🖤🤍

[@TideKnotTravellers]

🙌🏼😊

[@tadasc8449]

Really vibrant summer capital of Estonia! Especially the night life 👍 a lot of greenery, amazing beaches not overcrowded, super! Wow that carpet seems magic, I wonder is it flying? 😀 Pardon me, once again, but who asked to build that church?? 😂😂 I bet Katerina the second turned in her grave couple of times 😂😂😍

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Tadas C after 40 hours to make it, it should be a magic carpet🤩 Haha, such a tricky sentence to get together😂 I blame the relaxed Pärnu vibes for confusing my words😆

[@forgottenmusic1]

During the peak season, Pärnu beach may have like 30 000 visitors (though, you can still find less crowded places just nearby). But, I guess that after Palanga no other place on earth looks overcrowded anyway lol

[@tadasc8449]

@@forgottenmusic1 hahaha, yes nothing can beat palanga, I think on the wk end in the season atracts 500k to 1mln people , ironically loads of Latvians and Estonians come, they say that they are bored of empty and quiet resorts... I find it torture to walk in high street, but 10min down the road it's wild and empty! 😂

[@forgottenmusic1]

@@tadasc8449 Well, I meant 30k people simultaneously on the city beach; I doubt that a million can happen even in Palanga :D Anyways, the last time I happened to Palanga some years ago, I rushed to Neringa as fast as I could, and it looked so nice deserted place after Palanga :P But I like Latvian beaches - with the bonus that they really know how to smoke fish. In Pärnu, the problem is, that it takes forever and a bit longer before the water gets deep (for people with children, it's great though).

[@tadasc8449]

@@forgottenmusic1 well it gets certainly larger than Tallinn on summer weekend in August they worked out there was more then 500k on the beach only! It's totally crazy, it's expanded now and trust me you wouldn't want to drive on Friday night Vilnius-palanga motorway... There is international airport in palanga too. All party animals go there. Neringa is unesco world heritage, with biggest sand dunes in Europe and on a nice day it feels like heaven 🙂 with nature and architecture in absolute harmony! But it's v expensive, only stinky rich live there with log cabins selling for millions of euros. But its busy there now too, so everyone who likes peacefull holidays chooses to go to the lakes because we have more then 10 000 and very short sea coastline. 🙂 Don't you have nice smoked fish in parnu?

[@birajghimire9585]

Awesome adventure, always felt in love with it. What is the best thing that you love about summer :) ??

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Sunny beaches! 😊 🏖

[@DavidLorenzoFlorida]

Great video and looks like you're thoroughly enjoying yourself. Are you stuck in Estonia because of Covid or, are you staying this long because you're having a great time? Your tech page indicates you are using a GoPro Hero 8. If so, I'm impressed with the clarity you are getting with it in this video. I have a Hero 5 black and rarely use it.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

David Lorenzo a bit of both, we stayed put at first due to Covid then stayed longer because of how well they handled Covid in Estonia then fell in love with all it has to offer😊 yes all filmed on a GoPro Hero 8, we actually upgraded from the 5 at the beginning of the year especially for this trip as we needed something to use for vlogging and adventure (we could do with the even newer 9 so we could actually see the frame when we’re vlogging)

[@TheLemminkainen]

Estonia is sick! I'm from there:) I bought a one way ticket to the UK 25 years ago :)

Estonia the Baltic Tiger - very good doc. movie about Estonia in YT. Highly recommended!

[@zlklein]

Wow. Looks amazing. Would you guys ever consider living in Estonia? Based on your world travels so far, do you think it is a good country to live in or is it more of a good country to visit?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Having lived there for over 6 months we can honestly say it is a place we would love to call home. For us it has a bit of everything but still keeps it’s individual style. We hope to come back and visit many more times and would love a home there if we weren’t travelling the world 🌍☺️

[@dhineshbabu5151]

Very nice & clear picture, which device you guys use to capture?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you. Back when we filmed this we were using a GoPro Hero 8. Now we have upgraded for our more recent content ☺️

So happy to hear that. It’s a beautiful country and yes if you head out to nature, nature takes over. We camped in Haapsalu and got bitten so much setting the tent up! 😅
