I got the chills when Curt was tracing his family lineage. I love that stuff. There’s something very profound about this. As a canukistanian my family history is lost… mostly peasant stock I think. I’m sure loving the history of Eastern Europe and hope to get there someday. If you see any good tour operators,please share. Thanks for sharing your journey. I know you hear that a lot. ✨🙏✨ Curt is so brave to taste the water. 😅. I didn’t know you could use bleach in water. Cool

[@shumathievandayar3246]

My ancestors came from India to Mauritius and then to South Africa. I don't k ow if my Heritage would be able to assist with Indian ancestors.

[@Stephanie-kt9vh]

I am a homeschool Momma and your videos are AMAZING to use in History for my 6th grader. It helps him become interested in places because he can see more than " pictures " and you guys share information we just can't get from "books" To any other homeschooling friends out there, this is a great way to deep dive in History with your kiddos. After these videos it also makes my kiddo want to dig more. WARNING: It WILL create quite the list of places they want to "vacation" And of course my littles like to watch, they think Snow and Curt are "tool" (cool) heck, even my hubby watches and Ive heard him and my 12 yo talking about places they would like to go. All from watching this channel!!!! THANKS Snow and Curt for letting us tag along and coming into our "classroom" and helping teach us and my kiddos. (The 5 year old still thinks she needs a scooter 'like Snow ' .. why not, yall are "Tool"!) Blessing, Traveling Mercies, and Memories beyond measure

[@debyarger3084]

This is one of the best comments I've read in here!!! My grandkids are grown now,but they were home schooled. They turned out to be amazing humans!

[@MsRotorwings]

It’s great to get a kid interested in history. But I wouldn’t rely on someone who read an article on Wikipedia to educate your children.

[@sandygilbert4789]

An unnecessarily harsh assessment.

[@CM-zl2jw]

And God bless you for teaching your children well. So incredibly rare but important these days. I look to people like you for inspiration and strength 🙏✨🇺🇸💞

[@angelabroom2861]

Brilliant! What a fantastic idea for the kids!!! What an inspiration you both are. I'm going to tell my daughter about this for her to use with her children. It's brilliant! Keep 'em coming Snow and Curt....x

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

I love that you guys are there during the off season. Just seems more authentic without all the tourists.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Yes!

[@shay_renee_]

The coastal views with the water glistening is so beautiful.

[@sharoncochran8508]

Montenegro is incredibly beautiful! Thank you for sharing so many amazing places that I will only see virtually.

[@debyarger3084]

Im with Curt when it comes to the old stone buildings. So fun to investigate. I had to chuckle seeing Curt sitting in the shower/potty while he does his search. Every space in a van does double duty! Love it!!!

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝I love it. I could live there. 👍That’s cool & exciting to trace your family history & heritage. Thanks for sharing your journey. 💝

[@adventurebythemile]

I traced my family all the way back from Missouri to London, England in early 1600’s then to Ireland in 1500’s. I used my heritage too!

[@avivaadler4253]

And a "fowler" is someone who hunts wild birds! You hunt them with your camera!

[@lavender26155]

My husband and I visited those mosaics in Risan!! We are from Australia and we did a cruise in that area in 2017. While we were in the port of Kotor we did a short hop on hop off bus up to Risan and back. It stopped at the mosaics. It was very humble back then, no entrance like you showed. It was just a couple of euro to enter through a small doorway. Montenegro was really only just opening up to tourism in a big way back then. We were on one of the first cruise ships that stopped there. I do hope you go into the old town of Kotor ...it was magical.

[@lavender26155]

...oh and we caught a speed boat out to the Our Lady of the Rock church !!!

[@SparkyTuttle]

What a surprise! It's almost 1 am and I see you have uploaded a video. That's early even for you. I can't imagine walking in a town that was established before Christ! Over 2000 years of humans have walked where your were walking. That blows my mind. Even the kitties are walking in history. Thank you for letting us walk with you.

[@SnowAndCurt]

It was a schedule mistake 😳😳 the timezones got us! LOL

[@suefitz2498]

Excellent as usual and how wonderful for Curt in locating family history….woohoo 🙌

[@juliepetruzzi8563]

Genealogy research is certainly addictive! If I had the privilege of slow traveling in Europe, I would definitely chase down some family mysteries. I hope Curt keeps us updated on his ancestry journey.

[@dedeatwood991]

Oh I love that little town....shoot I would stay for a week or more!!! I appreciate your journeys. You are blessed to do this. I love the history you give us....❤

[@elaineevans7126]

Perfect song. I’ve decided that’s Curt singing.

[@SnowAndCurt]

We are glad you enjoyed the video @elaineevans7126!

[@Valerygallery]

Curt, you're a Royal! 👑 Prince Charming and Snow White? Go claim your inheritance! 😄

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Ooooh, I am so excited you are enjoying Montenegro despite the challenges. We absolutely loved it there. Hope you get up into the hills behind Kotor, but DO NOT drive up - it is way too narrow, even for a car. Take the cable car instead.

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Sorry about the repeat reply - it didn't show up at first, thought I had goofed.

[@noelbowerman1562]

A family member traced our family ,records go back to well before William the conquerer ,who is my 23 great grandfather. I'm also related to fletcher Christian ,the mutineer. As in mutany on the bounty .

[@MsHappy-u5o]

You are so lucky to have no tourist crowds!

[@sdd123]

I absolutely love Montenegro. Such a beautiful country. Enjoy!

[@ninaanetteassarsson4328]

If you come to Spain next winter you will have no problem find camp spots. Really enjoy your travel now. Never been to that part of Europe. Was living in Greece ages ago, Kalamata and the islands. Always flow down there. Thanks for a great video again. Stay safe 😘

[@ricardononato1714]

At 7'38" Curt said to the guy a "¿quanto cuesta?"😂 great video, as always

[@Lisabeefree-h7d]

So wonderful to hear so many people are enjoying and learning along with Snow and Curt and fam 😊 ❤ ! Kitties 👍🏼💯

[@michelleclark9445]

Good morning Snow and Curt ☀️ Congrats on your cool sponsor, I love genealogy. Such a neat mix of history that is directly tied to yourself. Some how I knew you were not going to try those smelts, Snow 🤣 When I was a kid, we use to catch smelts in the middle of the night, when they were running in the spring, with our bare hands. So delicious, lucky Curt 😋 As a fellow North American, the history of just their homes in Europe is so fantastic. We think of a building as being old if it's over 500 years, but here they have buildings still being used that are twice to four times older 😮 I think my neck would be very sore after a week, so many incredible things to see and experience! Hopefully the museum will be open when you travel back through, those mosaic floors looked stunning. I can only imagine what they must look like in person. Very happy you found water before the end of the video, I think a few of us might have been concerned. Love the tip about using the bleach, I'll have to remember that. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. Safe travels, 🤗🇨🇦🙏

[@irismckay6472]

Curious about the story behind the red bathtub in the old ruins home. Thank you for letting me share your passion for history and travel from the comfort of my home. Your videos are far more entertaining and heartfelt than anything on Netflix. BTW, I love your kitties, especially as my two passed away in the last year.

[@krisg3984]

I’m not a cat owner but I admit I love that you walk your cats and travel with them - (it’s what got me watching, after that van build. ). I picked up watching while you navigated between Chili and Brazil. Bit my nails with you on the Ocean/Van departure. But ❤❤❤ the off-season real life of the Villages, lands, and history venturing . 😎Nice to see you two + having the travels together

[@SnowAndCurt]

We love sharing our journey with our lil fluff balls! Thanks for tuning in

[@cgreen186]

Good morning, its 2:30 am Mt Time US. You are right about the cats. Many are homeless but the people feed them. Beautiful town. What a neat road. The water looks blue/green. I took my two children smell fishing in the portland oregon area for years, But after we moved to the southwest we didn't get them. I love smelt! Haven't had smelt for years.

[@SnowAndCurt]

I am glad that Curt enjoyed the smelt! LOL!!! Sounds like you have some fun smelt memories!

[@georgebuscay8511]

We live 10 miles south of Newport, OR, and were wondering what people were fishing for in the bay by the boat docks in Newport. It was smelt. My husband had a good time fishing for them. Kathleen

[@gingerblack4528]

Very pretty views! amazingly old village! If you see something that really CATCHES YOUR EYE I would love to do a watercolor or an acrylic painting of it!

[@flaviasequeira3849]

Thank you for taking us along on your journey thru such beautiful towns of Europe

[@BethMartinez-r8b]

I can't wait to check out My Heritage. I love that you are giving time and praise to small off the beaten path locations. OMG looking for water, one time we stopped at a house that had a sprinkler. I thought my husband was crazy but the people were so helpful and happily gave us water.

[@nuthouse2385]

Curt when you don't speak the language verbally it helps to learn international sign language 😁 The sign for "how much does it cost?" is pointing at what you want to buy and then rub your thumb against your middle and index finger, moving your thumb quickly from one finger to another👍

[@jenh9252]

You will get plenty more chances to see glorious mosaics😊

[@lmostretd]

You both crack me up with “THE” google” 😂

[@SnowAndCurt]

Ha!! It used to be a joke, but now it's a habit! I guess it'll always be THE google to us!

[@CM-zl2jw]

“The nature” 😂. “Slap wore out.”🗽🔥💪. American slang.

[@sherrywarren-biers3327]

Genealogy is a big hobby of mine! I have amassed an extensive family tree going way back in history. Can’t believe all the interesting characters I have found. For example, my 11th great grandfather saved the life of Henry VIII…..lol. Have fun, Curt…..you never know who will surface in your explorations.

[@SnowAndCurt]

That is awesome!

[@tracymorrison1584]

such a beautiful area; have a wonderful adventure there. The water looks so peaceful.

[@bonniejackson1321]

Yay King Curt. Snow love your eyes without sunglasses.

[@vesnakovacic8286]

😊In the city of Pula in Croatia you have a very well preserved coliseum, in the city of Split, again in Croatia , you have the summer palace of the roman emperor Dioclesa ius

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Ooooh, I am excited that you are enjoying Montenegro, despite the complications! We absolutely loved it there - hope you get to go up into the hills behind the town, but DO NOT take the van up there - it is narrow even for a car.

[@leanesmith7581]

There is a Smelt festival down river from Niagara Falls. The ocean fish made it into the great lakes years ago. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@ramonlimberger]

What a breathtaking town, hope i can visit someday.

[@blurpledragon2779]

Free Walkers , LOL I love that !!!!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thanks, @blurpledragon2779!

[@BobbieStankowski]

I hope you are alright, Snow and all.

[@elizabethsad8023]

Beautiful town & that road is amazing. The floors in the now museum are stunning & so sorry they were closed. Water found thankfully 🎉 Thankyou for a lovely vlog stay safe & happy xx to kitties 🩷🩵🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@carolsdarksarcasm4223]

That market is amazing!

[@mattgordon9179]

Good to see you guys chilled out even in a water crises. Stunning bay. You will see more Roman mosaics in your travels.The Balkan music was very fitting :) Cheers

[@drthomason7043]

At tbe markets I Love seeing veg and fruit I've never seen b4 .Like black radishes. A waiter heard me talking to a friend abt them and he said you can grate them, sprinkle sugar on them, leave in a dark place for week,drain off the syrup and you have a cold syrup. The cats probably love the grass so they can floss their teeth.

[@SnowAndCurt]

That's really interesting!

[@janewolfe9137]

Another interesting video. Thank you Curt and Snow! Researching family histories is so gratifying and my uncle and my brother have done much research. My brother and I traveled to Scotland in 2009 for The Great Gathering of the Clans ( along with Charles and Camilla). As we visited cemeteries and areas our ancestors would have lived, the emotional pull was so unexpectedly deep- it felt as though DNA has memory….enjoy and savor your new awareness of the connections you will be making. Thank you so much for your videos.😘

[@cintiapollock2486]

omg the ages of the places you are finding so awesome! I just love it that tile flooring you showed wow just so cool and interesting and beautiful thanks guys for more awe inspiring footage!

It is so much fun to trace our roots. I use Ancestry. Glad you are hab

[@BJ-xs7np]

Snow and Curt, you can always go to a boat dock or marina and they have it for the boats that come and dock there.

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

I have an Ancestry account. I got frustrated trying to use it so I turned it over to my sister. She has found so much info! She even connected with a distant cousin from our maternal side of the family connected to Stoke-On-Trent on England. There were a lot of ceramic and pottery factories there that our family worked at. It’s exciting to do genealogy research. Just think, you may be able to walk where your ancestors walked! The bay in Risan is gorgeous! Too bad about the museum. I love mosaics and I imagine seeing all those ancient ones in person would have been incredible!

[@SnowAndCurt]

It really is fascinating when you get on the trail of some new ancestor info!

[@susanstimson871]

Glad you found water!!!!!

[@patriciatwalsh4479]

Glad you found water. Thank you for sharing your adventure.😊

[@KeithandPamBilyeu]

Pam here….grew up helping my dad clean and freeze huge tubs of smelt! HUNDREDS OF THEM! For the life of me cannot remember the taste of them…as we fished white bass and walleye and trout mostly.

The pair of you show us what we may never see in a lifetime. It’s like you paying property tax and we pay the same thing but it’s paid to the local council office which is government and includes all the things you paid towards.The place where you are filming this is absolutely fabulous Much love and respect from across the pond in Uk x

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM I had a grin at the water hunt, having been on my own hunt here in Scotland; found a spigot by a public toilet block that was intended for hikers' water bottles, but my filling of 20 litres would surely go unnoticed......*cough*! In the larger towns and certainly in Kotor, you should find the water quality perfectly okay - it's the outback places that may be a tad iffy. We are also finding similar things with museums and other places of interest not being open when expected; I have been frustrated on several things this trip. Oh well. The views and the water make up for a lot! YAM xx

[@SnowAndCurt]

Yes!! Anytime I start to feel frustrated .. I just stop, take a deep breath, and look at the life we are living!! 🌍🚐☺️

[@MadMorti]

Such a fascinating little town you visited. It's a shame that so much is still in ruins but you'll find that a lot throughout Europe as you travel around the more rural areas. Italy in particular - check out the whole 1€ homes. It's such a shame the museum was closed completely, but you'll also discover a lot of places around Europe will be closed on Mondays and/or Tuesdays due to the labour laws and rest periods. They'll be open on Saturdays - as that's a maximum trade day - instead. Hopefully you'll find something else similar in another part of Europe that you can visit. Or just come back! Failing that, I know there's some in the UK you can visit when here. And of course - there's Pompeii and Herculaneum.

[@SnowAndCurt]

We got your message... and added that old villa to our list!

[@wyomingwips7540]

I'm so Excited to try out the My Heritage site. My Grandfather came from that Country, we'll on his Naturalization paper it says Hungary. He came across the ocean as an orphan. I'm so curious to find out more about him, as he had passed when I was born, and my Dad never knew to much about his past, as he never talked about it. So Thank You!! For telling about this site. I just know I have relatives over in that country somewhere?? Take Care, Safe Travels, Blessings Always 💕

[@Ruthie888]

Kurt and I could be related! I have a lot of the same genealogy. Cool! I’m looking forward to finding out about Snow.

[@SnowAndCurt]

So cool! Maybe you are distant cousins!!

[@francesclark363]

Very interesting thankyou. We always found water in harbours ,water for boats) or cemeteries when desperate.

We were parked at a marina... their local source was out of order! Sometimes we have to get creative out here on the road!

[@debrafricano1486]

[@suerop]

Loving the ancient architecture and narrow streets. Thanks for the pics of those mosaic floors. Must have been so beautiful when they were in use. Maybe you should invest in a water filter you can attach to your hose so your water is filtered before it even gets into your tanks. Take care

[@TheColleen1959]

Maybe they should buy a Brita Water filter they are all over Europe

[@pamelaklemp5615]

What an amazingly awesome village. Sorry the mosaic museum was closed, seeing it would have been fascinating for certain. Very COOL about Curt's ancestry! Are you going to visit the area where his relative was the King? How SPLENDID that would be! Especially knowing that CURTIS is an authentic 🩸BLOOD 👑 ROYAL 📯 through his Bloodline Ancestry. That's pretty PURE PLATINUM AMAZING!!🥂🍾

[@azmurrays]

[@SFNativeGal]

I love starting my day traveling with you! Best ending when you found water! Does the bleach kill the things that make you ill when drinking it? You are so wise and brave. Wish the museum had been open for you. That smelt looked so unpleasant, but glad Kurt enjoyed them😫. Praying the water treats you with good health. Can’t wait for your next travels!!!

[@leticiacinto3055]

Some of the mosaics remind me of the Portuguese sidewalks ("pedras portuguesas "). Are you going to Portugal? Congratulations on the perfect video!

[@pamela5568]

I use Family Search for genealogy as it's free. I haven't found any really important ancestor's yet. Montenegro is beautiful, but I would have trouble with their language. When I worked in Italy I loved to go to Slovenia where most speak English.

I think in this part of the world it does not have much effect.... as you walk thru the streets, you see TONS of bowls by the front doors with food and water... I think everyone feeds the cats here.
