Maria & Olivia
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 1 พ.ค. 2021
In 2021, we decided to leave the US and move to Europe (Athens, Greece 🇬🇷)
Maria was born in the US 🇺🇸 to a Greek-American mom and a Greek dad, she was raised in Greece (6 mo. - 14 years old). At 14 she moved back to the US where she spent the next 14 years between Chicago and Los Angeles.
Olivia was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan 🇺🇸 to an English 🇬🇧 mom and an American dad 🇺🇸. She quickly realized her passion for travel and so at 19 she decided to au pair in Rome, Italy. That was it, she knew that one day she wanted to live in Europe. In 2019 Maria and Olivia met, and two years later they left the 9-5 lifestyle. Maria sold her financial advisor business, and with those proceeds and Olivia’s savings, they moved to Europe to travel.
When the savings ran out, they became freelancers. Maria works in finance and Olivia is a writer. Every penny they make goes to basics and travel. Be patient with our irregular posting schedule until we make TH-cam our full-time job 😊✈️

A day In the Fairytale Region of Alsace, France (Colmar, Ribeauville, Castle)
The fairytale region of Alsace, France, has the oldest wine route in the country. Yes, we'll be having a picnic at a vineyard along the route. We start by exploring the historic Koenigsbourg Castle, followed by a stop at the local market to gather supplies for an Alsatian vineyard picnic along the wine route. Next, we visit the charming town of Ribeauvillé for a taste of local history and wine before heading to the fairytale-like Colmar. Along the way, we indulge in tarte flambée, Alsace’s unique take on flatbread.
Whether you're visiting Basel and planning a day trip, or simply dreaming of France, this vlog is packed with history, food, beautiful landscapes, and plenty of travel tips.

Calling Utrecht the most beautiful city of Holland is a bit stupid. Utrecht isn’t located in Holland. It’s located in Utrecht. And have you been to Amersfoort. The second city of Utrecht?
Thank you for visiting my lovely wee town. ❤️
This is such a cool video! I am grad you came to Basel! I'be been living here for almost 3 years and love the city (and region) so much!
I used to live in one of those old buildings in the city center. Unfortunately I had a stroke and the building was hundreds of years old, not really wheelchair accessible so I had to move out 😱
So sorry to hear that! I can definitely see how they wouldn’t be accessible, unfortunately. 😞
Very professionally produced video which included everything anyone would want to know about Basel, Switzerland. A beautiful country with so much history that dates back centuries. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to your next trip. Till next time, enjoy and keep on trucking!! From British Columbia, Canada!!😊
Wow thank you so much for such kind words! It really is an impressively beautiful country, we can’t wait to visit the rest of it. 😊 All the best to you!
Loving your videos! And I can see how you keep getting better with each new series. Happy travels, ladies! ❤🏳️🌈
Hello! That is so nice and is really encouraging to hear, so thank you!! 🤗

Hi, which city should I visit for a day trip from Copenhagen in the winter? Malmo or Lund?

Can you share a link for your navy polka dot dress??
Hey! I have actually had it for probably over 8 years! It’s from one of Oysho’s summer collections. Maybe they’ll do something similar again! ☺️ I did manage to find this resale link though: www.depop.com/products/aripk-oysho-dark-green-polka-dot/
Sir + Mam Your Content good but you didn't get proper audience views and subscribe because of your lack of proper SEO
wow I just came across your video randomly and I must say the way you capture different countries is beautiful the editing is spot on too!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are glad you enjoyed the video 😊
With all due respect .. STOP just STOP talking about something you TOURIST will never understand .. Ceausescu wasn't who you people say's it was ... not even close. This is pure bullshit propaganda ... USA style... Because of Ceausescu Romania was a great country .. and 34 years later people are crying after Ceausescu because of what he did for this small country .. STOP RUIN THE IMAGE OF THE LAST GREAT LEADER ROMANIA HAD. Again .. with all due respect !
What month were you there? I am going in 2 weeks and am worried about the daylight!
This video was filmed middle of January. Last year we went back to Ireland middle of October (check out those videos if you’re planning exploring ring of Kerry, Dingle, West Cork-HIGHLY RECOMMEND you visit there as well 😍). That being said, I don’t remember the daylight being an issue but time changes on the 27th of this month, making the sunset at around 4:40-5:15 PM for the time you’ll be there. The only time the darkness was an issue, was when we were trying to find our air bnb driving down ruler dirt roads, you miss a turn and backing up the car in the car is a bit of an issue. Side note about the weather. In October the weather was actually pretty mild. Some days just a sweater was fine and a jacket at night. Some other days a jacket was necessary. We are actually going to be in County Clare in a few days, a local told us the weather has been very unpredictable and to bring/dress in layers and adjust accordingly throughout the day.
Good vibes and video. Thanks for sharing it. Have a nice traveling day.
So nice!! Thank you! 😊 Hope you have a good day too.
What a wonderful region, thank you for sharing the food and history with us!
Thank you for watching, Mike! It is a stunning region!
When hot wings video?
Alsace is such a beautiful region. I've been to the area around Stasbourg, but it's also awesome to get to know the part you explored. We also have a restaurated castle not far from Vienna. Great to visit such a castle, but at least the one here wasbuilt more as a museum with room especially constructed to fit the installed furniture.
It really is a beautiful region, we can’t wait to go back, hopefully to Strasbourg next!
What a beautiful day! Your picnic = goals! 👌
Thank you!! 😊
Great video, you both look well Amazing architecture all around you, enjoy yourselves ✌️

I had a completely different idea of what Athens really is. In my head I was prepared to skip it entirely in favour of the isles, but now I really want to see the capital as well
We love this so much and are so glad it inspired you to visit Athens as well. It’s an incredibly vibrant and unique city!

Found your video looking for a travel video of this area, as some good friends of ours just came back from a 2 week "Rick Steves" tour that included the Slea Head drive, Dingle, and other areas. How fun to be able to do the virtual tour with you! I'm sure it's even better to be there in person, but thanks for the splendid video and being able to enjoy the sights from home! Happy travels! :)
Hello! Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed it. 😊 It is such a beautiful part of Ireland! Hope you’ll get to visit someday as well.

Romania is the bullshiet
Wow girls! This is one of your best videos❤ Would love to visit Basel after this video. Everything was impressive from the food, swimming in the Rhine, the museums to the beautiful architecture. Especially loved where you traveled to your future selves 💕
Haha glad you loved the future selves 🥰 Basel is a great city you will hae a great time 🏰❤️
Those stairs look very cool, I’m only 5ft 2” I’d be ideal height to run up and down them 🤭🤭 I do wonder when the stairs or steps are so narrow and short in depth were the people way back when short with little feet or was it a lack of material thing. Floating down the river wow what a great experience 👌 Food looks fabulous, great video ladies you both look like you’re having so much fun 🥰🥰
Haha yeah you would be very comfortable going up and down those stairs🥰 Yes!! We wondered the same since the last few weeks we went through a lot of stairs/towers like this. People were smaller back then, but I don't think that much smaller to make these towers that much easier to navigate. It was probably a combination of the two but probably more of a material thing. The river was so much fun and refreshing! 🥰
We have just returned from Kefalonia ❤️ Great video! Just subscribed 👍
Isn't fantastic! We wish we were there right now 🤗 Keep up the great work, we just subscribed to you too! Olivia's mom is from Bradford 🌸
This is not a city in holland, Amsterdam is in holland but Utrecht is in the province of Utrecht 👍
Why comparing Utrecht with Amsterdam? 😂 Each city has is own advantages. ❤❤
Vis Dock the best place in town? Better go to De Volendammer in Leidsche Rijn shoppingcenter close by the Yellow Bridge
Portillo's??? wut? Their food is garbage. Worst beef in the city.
I don't know about the beef quality, but their burgers are delicious! I guess it can be a personal preference as well.
