Hi there! Interesting videos. I just want you to know that you may contact me in case you need any additional/special info on Croatia or Slovenia because I live in both at the same time :) If you need help with the language (and/or culture/history), a comment/opinion, anything like that. 0kn, 0US$, free of charge :) Regards.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

+none4tube you're so kind, thanks for the offer

[@none4tube]

You're welcome. The two of you have made a great review/evaluation of both countries so you certainly deserve any help/assistance a person is able to offer you.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

I was fortunate enough to get to visit Croatia back in 1999 before it got "discovered" -- one of my favorite places on the planet. Suprised it's still that affordable considering how popular it has become. I'm going to add it to my list of one of the places I'll visit again!

[@zagrepcanin82]

thank you for kind words

[@30AndAWakeUp]

No problem!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That must have been amazing! Just note, the prices on the islands/coast are 20-50% higher.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks for the info - that makes sense.

[@notinusediana4991]

Affordable to the foreigners :) Prices went up noticeably for the past couple of years (both the coastline and Zagreb).

[@stevewilkins2754]

Your "living cost" videos are some of my favorite videos......so please continue.....they are excellent, Daneger.....Thank you for them!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

thanks Steve - will continue!

[@maamoulashta159]

Im a digital nomad myself and love the cost of living videos because for example i thought croatia was overpriced based on word of mouth but you guys make zagreb sound very affordable. The other thing i wanna mention to all commenters, is whenever you rent an Airbnb for a month itll naturally cost more than what that apartment would cost for a local who rents it for 1yr long lease with a deposit. That's why they paid $800. Because the renter is giving u the apartment for only one month they have to charge a higher nightly rate simple because after this month they might not rent it to someone for a week or whatever, hence why airbnb comes out more expensive than renting off airbnb and signing a year long lease. Hope that clarifies things to others :) . Cheers

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Glad you pointed that out to everyone -- when you bounce around from place to place every month so -- $800 a month with all utilities included is a pretty good deal.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks for this comment! Yup, you took the words out of our mouths. It's a 1 month booking, no deposit, booked 6 weeks out, no utility costs and in the centre of town.

[@nikolinal4230]

Hi. You could have paid much less for the apartment. That's a bit overpriced. There is good ones for like 350-500€.

[@zagrepcanin82]

aha....za 500 dolara na pantovcaku

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It's a 1 month booking, no deposit, booked 6 weeks out, no utility costs and in the centre of town.

[@antunbaderbistrovic9497]

These cost of living videos are the best I’ve found - keep it up, so helpful!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thats awesome, thanks!

[@gingerginger999]

Lots of useful information and well presented..Croatia seems like a worthy place to visit and put ones feet up for a minute. And everyone please watch the video to the end...you'll understand why when you see it unfold.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha glad you made it to the end! Just note the prices on the coast all appear to be 20-50% higher!

[@filipkantura8467]

Hi, i really like what you are doing with your videos and also would like to warn you as a Croatian that Dubrovnik is an insanely pricy city to be staying or eating in. Also if you have the time, the Istria region of Croatia is worth seeing with the roman arena in Pula and really impressive architecture in Poreč and Rovinj.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yup - very good feedback. We've just worked our way down the coast on our cruise and the prices keep getting higher

[@none4tube]

You need to discover inner Istria with romantic miniature towns/villages, on tops of hills, often above clouds in autumn. They resemble old inner Italy (Molise, Abruzzo...) Places like Motovun, Hum, Roč, Oprtalj, Brtonigla, Momjan, Livade, Višnjan... Especially the gastronomic delights. Truffles, olives, figs, cheese... It's a must. Also the frescos of Beram from the 15th century.

[@sarmaforyou]

Very informative and well done vlog. Look forward to seeing your next set of adventures along the coast and islands!

[@sharonwalsh456]

Hello from Newman in Western Australia! Please continue with these videos as this is EXACTLY all the information I was looking for! All the best you to you Stace, thankyou

[@fargosnow994]

I am a week short of a year on the road. Your videos give information, which is closer to what I need than most. I pick cheap countries with temperatures between 10C and 30C for the time I will be there. I stay about 90 days in each country. After, that I look for places that are very walkable. Videos like yours are great to give me a good idea of what living in a city will be like. You have a good voice for videos. I just found your channel. I am looking forward to checking out your archives.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Glad to hear, thanks for that. Not all our content is this helpful for slow/long term/nomad travellers but glad this is of use

[@LanaTiare]

Great videos! I really like the way you lay out your living cost vlogs, they are always useful and interesting. keep up the cool videos. Its nice to see youtubers who are really relaxed and easy to watched, i love your vibes.

you should definatelly find time and visit Plitvice lakes when coming back from the coast. it is breathtaking beautifull. and if you have opportunity to try food from peka while at coast its well worth to try.I am from Zagreb and im very happy you liked it.great videos keep em coming and have an amazing time in Croatia.

[@greynomadadventuresgna3648]

Hi Guys, love the videos, so don't let the detractors change your style of presentation. My wife and I have been following since HoiAn and are now planning a Push bike Holiday for a month next year through Croatia. Keep up the great entertainment value.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks for the support, glad you've been following along for so long! A bike holiday sounds amazing! Actually Sail Croatia offers something similar, but on a boat, same sort of boat as we're on with our latest video but you cycle every day - could be worth a look! You can hunt around on there site, called adventure or something: bit.ly/ExplorerCruiseDandS

[@hook55]

Gee when we used to go out, our drink bill was always more expensive than the food bill.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

When we're on holiday ode (Greece!) its very much the same!

This accomodation price is for tourist short term rental I guess cause it's really high. For regular monthly rent for a small apartment it's from cca 250-300$ plus 150 $ for utilities.

[@Thirstytraveler41]

Very informative...Thanks!

[@tweetybird30]

I told you about Tomato, I don't work with them or for them, I just use their services as a mobile network provider.They are not costly it's 70 kuna or around 10$ for 7 Gigabytes of data. I understand that you like T-mobile, but most Croatians tend to avoid them becuase they weren't trasparent to customers in Croatia and we had a lot of problems with the company. If you were staying for a long period of time in Croatia, like 2 years or more, I would tell you to get another provider and never choose any company in Croatia that makes you sign a contract with them for a number of months. I hope you have a nice time on your trip and enjoy your stay here in Croatia.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We just went with T because they were walking distance from our house haha. If we could do it over we'd go with Tomato, but no stress :)

[@markelliott7641]

Hey. We are from Christchurch, and planning on a trip to croatia next year. We wanted to say that your videos have been the most informative we have seen on croatia. All the things people want to know, prices etc. Anyway, huge well done. It looks great. We think we've visit based on your video. Did you get out to the coast around Rovinj ? Oh, and what was the name of the craft beer bar please ? The beer looks great.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hey Mark 👋🏼 Thanks for the positive feedback, stoked about that. Been a while but think it’s called ‘Pivnica Medvedgrad Ilica’ or something medvegrad related. Only in Zagreb tho!

Im usually really proactive with getting travem insurance, we went to paris last year and for some reason i had forgotten to take out insurance.... and my husband got his wallet stolen! Luckily everything was sorted, but really makes you realise how insurance is so important!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yikes - thats bad luck! Glad you got it sorted though. Just the hassle and stress of something going wrong can ruin the enjoyment of a trip, at least with insurance you know it will be sorted.

[@siege2645]

daneger how do you stay so buff whiling you are traveling are you constantly buy day passes to gyms and ordering eggs at restaurants what are you doing

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Ahh this is the smallest I've been in years. During month stays like this we generally eat healthy, high protein, eggs, chicken, turkey, protein powder and trrrrry to go to the gym. Its like a reset month to get slightly back into shape.

Great video :) Newly subbed to you guys looking to do the same thing myself in the near future since I am working online now too. Is there money to be saved by cooking more yourselves rather than eating out?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Definitely lots of savings to be made if you eat at home, that’s the quickest way to reduce costs for sure

[@quinnlessard8236]

ok guys.. love your videos. Question: If you could recommend a country for a young single Canadian guy in central Europe which would it be? in terms of COST, adventure, scenery , night life, friendliness .. just overall good vibes! Ive been leaning towards Poland but I'd love to hear your pick. Cheers!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Good question - probably Krakow would be a good choice. Some pretty girls there too :P If you want non-schengen then we've heard good things about the lifestyle in Belgrade.

[@quinnlessard8236]

haha good to know! Thanks for the feedback and keep up good work with the videos!

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

What is your time line? Generally, you can stay three months out of six in Schengen countries. Where do you go in between?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It's a rolling time line though, so we came into Berlin about 6 months ago so as we stay out of schengen now we're gaining more days back in if we do want to go back. We just bounce around between them and walk a fine line :)

The main expense when calculating cost of living is housing. A one-month rental does not represent cost of living. It represents the cost of vacationing. Long term rentals represent cost of living.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

This is aimed at our audience - digital nomads, slow travellers and expats... So it's exactly what they've come to expect and want to know.

Few questions: a) $809 seems pretty pricey for a 1-month apartment (although having the utilities included ain't too bad of a deal)- were you in a very central area? The apartment does look really nice though :) b) Love your thumbnails :D

[@jakovcu]

Freedom Strider you can find cheaper than 800US$ iz Zagreb 400$ is reasonable

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Locals are saying it's expensive, but thats easy for them to say. For us/a tourist it's a 1 month booking only, no deposit paid, booked 6 weeks out, no utility costs on top and in the centre of town with seconds to the walking street. Compared to other spots in Europe it was a good deal.

keep doing those! this is a reality check entry that is needed both for those that are thinking about following your path & for all the haters that say "you must be pretty loaded to burn all the money on these travel"! to be honest, it I recalculate your cost on 1 month in Zagreb vs what I spent for two in Warsaw, it's pretty much the same. Which means I would move to Zagreb maybe... Time to start the campaign with my partner then!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yup exactly - everyone thinks you have to win the lotto to travel! Zagreb and Krakow are similar, smaller feel in Zagreb than in Warsaw which is nice

[@locationindependent8311]

So I've lived in Zagreb on and off for the past year, and visited Warsaw recently... I found Warsaw a decent amount cheaper. Although don't get me wrong, I LOVE Zagreb, I think it's one of the more expensive places in the Balkans, less than Dubrovnik or Split, but still...
