ABOUT US:

Hi! We are Kitti and Jon! We are a multinational (Hungarian and British) couple living in Manchester, England and we love to travel, hike and explore both in the UK and abroad! We definitely have the travel bug and have explored many countries on and off together in the 7 years since we met (when our jobs have allowed it!). We decided to finally start filming our adventures and sharing them with you guys!

We’re Kitti and Jon and we’ve spent the last  8 months exploring the incredible countries   of Central and South America! We loved every  minute of it, from the stepped pyramids of   Mexico to the tropical beaches of Costa Rica, and  the ancient wonders of Peru to the natural beauty  

Of Ecuador and Colombia. But now, after  a long flight across the Atlantic Ocean,   we’ve landed back in Europe for the next phase  of our adventures. And whilst we were sad to   leave South America behind, we’re excited for  what’s coming next! Welcome to Montenegro! We  

Are back in Europe after coming all the way back  from South America and we’re going to be doing   a little mini European…Eastern European  road trip over the next month and a half,   visiting a couple of countries that have been  on our bucket list forever and hopefully this  

Is the time we can finally visit them. So  very, very excited! So we’re starting here   in Kotor and we’re doing a hike this morning.  As you can see we’ve come way up above the the   town for some beautiful views. The views are  absolutely amazing from here! We going to do a  

Little hike up and around, through the old walls  and down to the Old Town, explore the Old Town a   little bit later on. Just going to show you  as much as we can from this beautiful area! You may have noticed that we’re not  alone on this trip. We’ll be spending   our time here in Kotor with our family.  So from right to left let us introduce… So this hike takes you up the mountain behind  the town. The town is just down there where the  

Walls are. Basically you can come up, just  zigzag up behind the walls and then if you   want to you can just turn in and go through  the back wall. I think this path goes all  

The way to the top of the mountain but I think  we’re just going to go a little bit higher up,   see the view in both directions and then go  back down to the wall. It’s a nice little  

One to do instead of going up the touristy  route up to the walls from the main town. So cute! Yes she loves it  don’t you, they both love it So we’ve made it up pretty high. The views behind  us are amazing! You can keep going even higher up   the mountain, it goes up to the National Park up  there but I think this is enough for us. We’re  

Going to head back down this way now and back down  to the fort, get ourselves a nice cold ice cream   or a nice cold Coke when we get down. I think  we deserve it! The views are just stunning. It’s  

100% worth it to come up just for the views.  Make sure you leave super early. I think we   started around half 7 this morning, by like half  9 the sun was really out on the slopes and it was  

Pretty hot. So just make sure you start early,  bring plenty of water but you can’t beat that! We descended down on the other  side of the wall back into town,   taking in the breathtaking views along the way and  treated ourselves with a much needed ice cream. Kotor’s medieval old town is one of  the best preserved in the Adriatic and   is a UNESCO world heritage site. The town is  surrounded by ancient Venetian fortifications   whose walls stretch for miles around and  above the city. Inside the old town is a  

Warren of narrow streets and alleyways,  all leading to impressive squares filled   with restaurants and cafes as well as  towering cathedrals and small churches. We also noticed a large population of  stray cats as we walked around. These   kitties have become a bit of a symbol of the  city and can be found lounging in all sorts   of nooks and crannies. We couldn’t resist  having a little cuddle with some of them. You can also wander up and walk along certain  sections of the city walls where you can get   great views over the harbor in both directions,  as well as the tiled rooftops of the Old Town. So for only 4 euros for the hour you can hire  a kayak and come out into the bay and you get   another perspective on this beautiful coastline.  And you also just get to dip your feet in the  

Water. Definitely save this for one of the hottest  days of the year because it is very refreshing! After a long hot day of hiking and exploring  there’s no better way to end it than with a dip   in the hotel pool and an ice cold drink on your  apartment’s balcony, whilst watching the sun dip   below the mountains. And believe us when we say,  the sunsets in Kotor Bay are truly breathtaking! As well as the beautiful Old Town, Kotor  Bay has miles of gorgeous coastline to   explore and it’s definitely worth taking the  time to wander down the quiet streets along   the waterfront. We were staying in nearby  Dobrota, which meant that we regularly had  

To walk up and down the bay to get to the old  town. We thought this was going to be a bit   of a chore but the amazing views we got around  each new bend in the road made it anything but The bay is also filled with beautiful beach  resorts where you can lounge in the sun with   a nice cold drink, before taking a dip in the  refreshing water when you get a bit too hot You can also rent bikes for pretty  cheap. We got these bikes for €10   for the whole day. We can even  drop them off tomorrow if we   want. And today we are cycling around  Kotor Bay! So it should be a fun day! Cycling around the bay was a great  way to take in the stunning scenery   around us and allowed us to see more in  a day than we otherwise would have been   able to. The roads are quiet for the  most part and pretty flat meaning we  

Didn’t have to work too hard and could  relax and enjoy the views as we went Our final activity in Kotor  was a morning boat trip out   to the Blue Cave, a popular tourist  destination on the Adriatic Coast. After taking in the views, we made a short stop on  Our Lady of the Rocks, a small island in the Bay   of Kotor which is home to a tiny church. It was  nice to stretch our legs but the island itself was  

Way too crowded for us to really enjoy it, and we  gave up trying to get into the church completely! We hopped back in the boat and traveled a little   further up the bay before stopping  at an old, disused submarine bunker. After channeling our inner James Bond, we arrived  at the Blue Cave. The boat took us for a quick   look inside, and whilst it was very blue, it  was also pretty crowded in there as well. We  

Left the cave and circled around the back where  we were allowed to jump in for a quick swim. Unfortunately this is the end of our Kotor and  Montenegro adventure. We really enjoyed Kotor. I’m   so happy we finally made it here because it’s been  on our bucket list. We did a Euro Trip a couple  

Of years ago and unfortunately couldn’t make it  to Kotor so I’m very happy. As you can see we’ve   been staying on this beautiful balcony all week  which has been really luxurious for us! We’ve been   sharing it with our family all week. We probably  couldn’t afford this just on our own! So it’s  

Going to be sad to leave this place. We’re really  excited about our next country! We are heading   down the coast into Albania which has become  really popular in the last few years! So we’re   excited to check it out. So we will catch up with  you in Albania! If you enjoyed this video make
