    ▶️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks.

    We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to do retirement travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest.

    We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get retirement travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.

      Great vlog! thank you. Eastern Europe is definitely on the list for our next trip. Can you tell me when do you decide to rent a car for your road trips? Is it prior to arriving at the location or once your there and check things out? Finally, where do you look to book a car? Thanks!

    3. Susan Diekmann on

      Wow, I want to see ALL of those places! Would love to know more about your visit to Lisbon. We visited Gyrokaster in Albania and Chania in Crete during a cruise in 2022, and wished we could have stayed longer. I'm glad they made your list. I will have to look back on this video again and make my list! Thanks for the intro to these amazing looking cities.

    4. Dr Z on

      I have visited some of the cities from this list. And I can say, from my point of view, none of it is cheap. Maybe it is because I come from Croatia, one of poorest countries in European Union.

    9. Alice Mallen on

      Spent August in Kotor, very affordable compared to USA prices, only 80 cents for a loaf of bread from a bakery. Old town gets a little crowded when a cruise ship comes in but quiet compared to Dubrovnik. Nearby Perast is is lovely also.

      When in Krakow skip the dark history of Auchwitz and take the same train in the opposite direction to the massive Cathedral carved completely of the salt in the caves.
      Even the crystals on the massive chandeliers are carved fron the opaque green salt.

      Question for you guys….do you have a difficult time taking your drone with you? Is it a small one or is it a bigger on for which you need your license? Thank you in advance. We absolutely love you guys and are planning on doing a slow travel version of your itinerary! Thank you for all that you do!

      Many of these cities are on my to visit list also. After visiting most of the western Europe countries, I recently began visiting the Eastern European countries (Greece, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria). Also recently, I been traveling to other adventurous place around the world, including Nepal, Mexico, Chile, and Ecuador.

      Greetings from Budapest 😍 This stunningly gorgeous city is currently sharing the number one spot in terms of beauty, history and culture right alongside Vienna Austria. We wanted to visit Bratislava while here, however it’s 2.5 hours train ride away and with the sun setting at 4:30pm , we feel it’s going to happen another time. Perhaps next time when we visit Vienna 😉 Currently we feel that Budapest is one of the cities we would recommend to visit first to a person who has never been to Europe before and has no expectations or nothing to compare it with. We also liked Ljubljana,Riga, Split, Lisbon, and Belgrade.

    26. George Ott on

      Been to Ljubljana, Berat, Bratislava, Split and Kotor. All great cities and I can't wait to go back (also enjoyed Ohrid, Skopje and Bansko!). Try Northen Greece lots of fantasic surpises !

    28. T Petkova on

      Thank you John and Bev, it is so nice to watch you videos with so many beatiful places to visit. Since you are asking for suggestions here is one: Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. The place where the Christianity in Europe starts with- the oldest church in Europe esablished by the Emperor Chonstantine The Great; as well if you dig a little bit in history you will find out that this is the oldest capital in Erope today. Any other European capital appears on the map after that. If this information has a merit in your tourist values it is woth of adding it ahead! Thank you.

      Is there a website where single travelers can find like minded travel buddy so you don't go solo and at least have a company? My wife is not too keen on places besides popular European cities. We have already covered Paris, London, Belgium, Portugal, most of Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice, Amalfi), Greece, some parts of Spain. While I like to visit Romania, Prague, Slovania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Monte Negro etc., it would ne nice to have a company or a group of no more than 4 to make the trip more enjoyable. Any one with info on such meet up sites please advise.

    33. Holger Jakobs on

      I've already been to Ljubljana, Split, Budapest, Belgrade, Lisbon, Bratislava from your list and totally agree with you on these cities. The remaining ones are on my bucket list. It's a bit of a pity that you have left out Scandinavia/The Nordics completely. We have totally fallen in love with Lapland and have enjoyed the midnight sun several times.
      Safe travels!

      Thank you for all the hours of research and content you use to keep your followers up to date. We begin our travels in October 2024 and are starting in Guatemala. I always look forward to your next video.

      It depend what you expect … For me a sunny not windy and not too cold place in winter âne close to the beach is require so only Valencia is good for me … But that more expensive than where iam living now in south of France along mediterannean sea. Today november 19th 2023 was 22 C at 2 pm and still 19 C at 5 pm …. Croatia can be good but i better choice Zadar or a small place like Sibenik instead of Split. I will considere Spain ans Portugal oversea territories

    42. Abby Somebody on

      We've been to many of these cities and loved them all! Just wanted to share that 28 years ago today in my hometown the Dayton (Ohio) Peace Accords helped put an end to the Bosnian War. Traveling to these countries now it's hard to believe there was conflict in such idyllic places. Thanks for sharing your travels!

    44. Cheryl Keys on

      Another wonderful video which reminds me what a beautiful world we live in. If only the family of man could live together in peace instead of messing it up……

    46. Annanya Arya on
