WE MADE IT TO ROMANIA (very affordable)

[@thewanderingmeghan4818]

The squares there are soooooo big! That's something I feel like Europe does well - plazas and squares. I think America should take notes. Haha. Thanks for the intro to Romania, it looks so nice!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Oh 100% - Europe does public squares much better than the US. The ambiance in them is usually really nice too, with all the cafes and restaurants spilling out from the buildings.

[@Roadmap2Adventures]

Awesome that you made a stop in Romania on your Europe trip. Thanks for sharing!

[@chrisalton2022]

thanks for showing us around. It looks great

[@butenbremer1965]

4:51 - they do have TACO BELL in Romania... why in Romania? GER has none of them. I need to keep Temesvar in the back of my head. A trip to Romania is more affordable than a trip to the US :-)

[@OnePackWanderers]

Right?! We see McDonald's, Burger King, and occasionally Subway, but that was the first Taco Bell. In America it is considered 'just another fast-food place' but it was quite weird seeing it in Romania, of all places.

[@johndrg1132]

In Romania , Taco Bell is in : Sibiu, Bucharest - Park Lake Shopping Center, in Ploiesti, Bucharest- Baneasa shopping Center, Cluj Napoca, another one in Bucharest, In Brasov - Afi Cotroceni, Cluc Napoca- Iulius Mall, in Constanta, there are 2 in Timisoara, Brasov- Coreso Shopping Center, in Bacău, Brasov- Afi Brasov

Nice country

[@LaPingvino]

One of the few countries you go I haven't been to yet xD but I have a friend from here :) I have also never been to Greece...

[@OnePackWanderers]

Buchurest especially, is a wonderful city. It's nice to have friends in these places, makes traveling them so much more enjoyable. The cities we have made friends in, always stand out amongst the rest.

[@davidroberts7996]

We love “being” with you.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for coming along. Documenting it and sharing it has enriched the experience for us, a lot more than we anticipated.

[@spicydraks]

Nice video guys! Glad you are enjoying Romania! I was baptized in that cathedral when I was a baby lol

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ha, no way! Small world. Do you live in Timisoara?

[@oh515]

I miss Romania 🇷🇴 Timisoara, Arad and most of all, Vinga.

[@OnePackWanderers]

It is a beautiful country

[@Fvejo]

13:32 choco dance❤ and 14:09 bear steps😂

[@IloiloCityStreetGuide]

i'm paying attention to the people, i'm hoping to see some vampires, they sparkle a little bit at daytime according to the twilight movie.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We kept on the lookout as well! 😂 Never did spot any vampires, though. Perhaps the sun is different in Romania 🤔

[@LaPingvino]

That yellow little flag in the museum with ANWB on it is a Dutch flag with the name of Romania on it in Dutch. The ANWB is basically the national wheel vehicles (bike and car) association, and they also do a lot of both direction tourism stuff, e.g. language guides and camping gear, as well as providing the highway repair service in the Netherlands. I suppose they used this flag in some event? Would be nice to know more background of that xD. Also if you manage to hear from them where they got it from, that would be rad xD. Edit: ah you already left again xD hope someone in Timisoara can ask!

[@OnePackWanderers]

The museum seemed full of different little oddities that people had left behind, perhaps as sort of 'reverse' souvenirs. Very nice vibe, that place. Interesting tidbit about the flag! I find it so fascinating how small, seemingly unrelated things seem to find their way to far off places.

[@PopescuSorin]

it's sad that Romania is not yet in the Schengen area

[@OnePackWanderers]

Indeed. Hopefully, if Romania would like to, it will be soon.

[@ppn194]

What essentially would change? Remembet 2011.

[@Walts-Travel]

The ending. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@OnePackWanderers]

Tia was quite proud of that one 😂🤣

[@hansc8433]

Even though it might seem “crazy affordable” to buy things in Romania, remember that the average income in Romania is about 650 euro per month (after taxes), so eating out is actually quite expensive for a local.

[@Zdamaneta]

Well not really, those prices would be double if your salary would be double as well so no matter where you are, eating out is not cheap.

[@spicydraks]

Eating out is expensive anywhere in the world. I live in what they call a "first world country" and prices here are nuts. Nothing new

[@chrisalton2022]

@@spicydraks try South Korea, you can eat out well for just 6 or 7 bucks AND it's a no tips country.

[@Tudor356]

🙂👍

[@adrianneagoe3652]

Chuck E Cheese its opening its first restaurant in Europe in Bucharest🇷🇴 how random

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ha, that is really random. I guess they know it would be pointless in Italy 😂

[@nadineevans8857]

Great videos but why do I feel as if I'm in a nightclub right through?. Surely cultural music would be more relevant. It's also difficult to hear what your saying because of said music. Perhaps take some tips from Rick Steve's Europe

[@OnePackWanderers]

We’d been making videos about two months at this point, there were a lot of technical issues 😅 Not as bad in our more recent videos (I hope).

[@starseed8087]

At first I was a fan of your channel. But the way you travel through Europe, just like the Japanese are popular for doing it, makes little sense to me. You kinda saw everything, but you were everywhere only for such a short amount of time that in the end you saw nothing. You spent half of your time on the bus and train..

[@tubularap]

I actually like their pace of country hopping, but I can understand that it is not for everyone. We can be happy that there are many videos to be found that go deeper into any place on Earth.

[@OnePackWanderers]

@ StarSeed 80 We hear you. There isn’t a single place we’ve visited, that we couldn’t devote the entire 90 days of our visa to. Unfortunately, pace is something every traveller must make a decision on. For us, we’ve chosen a more rapid form of travel. There are many reasons behind that, and I’m sure you would agree with some and not others. In any case, we’re sorry we weren’t the right flavor for you. There are definitely KZbinrs out there that spend much, much more time taking a deep dive into their locales. Cheers!

[@starseed8087]

​@@OnePackWanderers I didn't mean to criticize. As long as you are having fun, everything is right. I think for Europeans your way of traveling is a little bit a no-go, Europeans in general don't do that. Because in such a short time you don't really can dive yourself into any culture. But if to consider that Americans, like Japanese, have very few vacation days a year compared to Europeans, then this is perhaps understandable.

[@OnePackWanderers]

@StarSeed 80 Oh no offense taken! I think everyone has their own style of traveling, regardless of nationality. For us, making friends with a local is our form of culture immersion. We personally derive more from an evening spent with a new friend than, for example, a whole month wandering a new city. To each their own. Like you said, as long as you have fun! :)

[@sandor7594]

1920. Trianon. From Great-Hungary (1000 years old Hungary) the Entente to donate 101.000 km2 territory, and today territory of Hungary only 93.000 km2. Timisoara for us forever Temesvar. (More million Hungarians live today too in Romania.)

[@OnePackWanderers]

Considering Romania's small population, that is quite a lot of Hungarians living there.

[@PahoNGM]

Please do not forget that Romanians come from Dacians that occupied that land well before any Hungarians. They fought the Roman empire in 101 BC. The Hungarians came in that area in 4-5th century AD. Let's not pick only that part of history that we like.

[@iuliancatalinradu782]

Sándore Following the Treaty of Trianon, you Hungarians actually acquired a country, you lost only the territories that belonged to other peoples but conquered by you throughout history. Following the First World War (provoked by the Hungarians and Austrians) the great powers of the time decided "the right of peoples to self-determination", so the people of Transylvania decided to unite with the motherland (Kingdom of Romania), and the great powers accepted this, point .... this is how the people of Transylvania finally managed to get rid of the Austrian yoke and the Maghyari counts ....

[@davidgreene8453]

Sad think about traveling from America is the travel time , expense, and opportunity to get to European sites that we like to see as much as possible in the short time there. We can pop over on a train for a weekend jaunt to many other countries. Great job ! Keep on trucking !

[@iverson4764]

More milions ? Only 1 milion maghiars live în Ro.......1000 year's old Hungary ? Wtf ,where is hungary betwin 1526-1919 ? donated territory? where from ? Did you bring him with you from the Ural Mountains?

[@mihiregistrace]

Nice country

[@OnePackWanderers]

Very much so 🙂
