- In today's episode, we begin our journey to the Southeastern corner of Europe. We spent two weeks traveling to three new countries, but in order to get there we had to start with a detour...😌
This wasn't our first time in Poland, but it was our first time together in the city of Gdansk!

We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university, and live life full-time. We're trying to see and learn as much about the world as possible while we're young! Right now, we are working to visit 100 countries before the end of 2022🌍 Check our TH-cam About page for more details!👨🏼🤝👨🏻
This was the start of our trip to three new countries: Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova. Stick around for the next videos from there🙌
Thank you for watching!🙏😍

HI GUYS❤ Thanks for watching as always🥰
We're super excited to share this trip around countries 88, 89, and 90🙌 This was back in June so our video backlog is definitely growing...😅 We're doing our best to catch up!!
It is a pity I did not know you where in my country! POLAND!!!
I reckon you have plenty of fans in POLAND! Perhaps you wilk make some meeting with fans.
Oo waoo in a new country 😍
@@Nalesnik158 The occupation of Danzig by Poland was 100% illegal and violated all international law. Is this how the Poles explain the theft of cars to themselves?
@@pascualkl7204 😂
I spent 3 weeks in Poland last year and had the BEST time. It really surprised me and it’s now one of my favorite countries in Europe
Wow! How nice to see your comment here. I loved your Poland videos and definitely missed seeing the rest of your trip. Hope all is well.
I spent in Poland over 50 years 😀
So I can tell you that Poland has a lot of places worth to see 😉
As a Pole, I think that Germany is a bit prettier
@@kapitanmada3717 swoje kompleksy, lecz gdzie indziej :)
@@krzysztofkinder694 kiedy jesteś na wakacjach to co innego niż jak tam mieszkasz
Wow, Poland will be my next trip.
Make sure you visit Krakow !!
I can suggets some nice places to visit 😉
You can see some of them on our chanell 😉
Visit Kraków, Warsaw or Wrocław, Gdańsk is ok but not as beautiful
@@klatos420 This summer I will visit Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan, Gdansk and Warsaw.
i did my erasmus in warsaw, best year of my life! Poland is amazing
yea. For example Lodz or Bialystok
The architecture in Europe is so amazing compared to the the US... 🤩🤩🤩
This is a particularly stunning city!
That's good. Each place is different and that's why is exciting to explore.
Don't worry. Now it is also impossible to get to know the place in Europe by the new buildings. All built in one style
As a Polish-American, there is beautiful architecture in the US too.
US is amazing in its own way. stop insulting America on an American website. Its not cool.
I love Gdansk! We visit almost every year when we drive to the Open'er Festival. I've been to Poland many times, and it's a very beautiful and welcoming country. Great seeing your impressions :) Cheers from Lithuania, guys
Remember to visit next time Pol'and'Rock festial aka Woodstock. It will be 29th festival and it is free for viisitors.
Lithuania's great too!💖
Gdańsk 👁️👄👁️~~~
Yeah all that beautiful German architecture is really a sight to behold
@@gisbertvonkrauthausen5609 kek. The only thing german mass murderers and thieves left was a sea of ruins
This video moves Poland up on my list. Bill Bryson thinks Poles are the friendliest people on earth.
This is a bit exagerrated.We are quite reserved but I guess once we get to know you it changes (we treat our friends with honest friendliness).
@@TheEmpress185 both of you simply lack the experiences abroad and were taught to berate your nation and yourself...
@@KrissowskiM we just don’t trust people we don’t know
@@Ohhiohh not true - Poles are very open and friendly towards foreigners.
@@KrissowskiM .
It looks so clean and well-maintained.
That's what you get when you have a homogeneous society.
other city's also are kept this way in Poland.cheers :)
It doesn't look clean and well maintained. It actually is like that in entire Poland.
Bonus info for all from Americas and SOME (not all) Western Europe countries: If you ask Poles if it's safe there they will not understand the question. Like... why would you even ask? So don't even bother because they simply don't get the sad reality in places you live. It's completely different than in your countries and safety topic doesn't exist in public dispute.
@@paulie_one_eye I see people asking the same question about pretty much every city/country, like if it's safe here in Prague and if it's safe to travel around country when you are black and such questions. You are right that native people are really confused by such questions, if they speak English and know something about world, they will probably get what you asking for, but if not, they will be just confused, they will ask you to be more specific like if you mean safe like if we have some dangerous animals, snakes or something like that or you mean safe like if there is a lot of car accidents or something. The fact that in some countries, there are places in your city you can't visit is just bizare for us.
@@Pidalin yeah, I’m always very amused reading comments under YT vids made by Americans in Poland posted by another Americans like “yes, I confirm, very nice country and safe…”. I stopped being surprised. It just became funny. They are shocked that nobody will shoot them for their smartphone and wallet or - especially in Poland - nobody is going to cook and eat black people. But if you look at some documentaries from the streets of LA or Philadelphia you’re no longer surprised.
Welcome to Poland !!!Great video :)🇵🇱❤🇸🇪
I went to Warsow and Krakow last June and it was a great experience. I want to be there again to explore more of Poland.
Poland is amazing
You should come to Warszawa. Where you have modern city with high scrapers and old city in one.
truly beautiful city! can't wait to travel there in september
Gdansk looks GORGEOUS! It reminded me a lot of Amsterdam and the homes on the canals. I hope to visit one day! I hope the rest of your travels are exciting! Can't wait for the next vlog!
It reminds you of Amsterdam because in the past there were many Dutch settlers there and therefore Gdańsk bears many Dutch influences.
It looks the way it does because the majority of the population was German until 1945
Amsterdam looks like Gdansk because in 16century Commonwealth of Poland there was huge export an enormous quantity of pinewood logs that were necessary for foundation enginering..Every piles were driven into muddy ground. More than 75% of Amsterdamse city is built for it..Placed on pinelogs from Poland. And people what traweled then exchanged building style.
Dan, thank you that you mention there are many beautiful cities in Poland. Our rural areas are magnificent too :)
Memories. When i visited Gdansk, those modern buildings by the river were being built. Good to see the final results.
Poland ❤️❤️❤️
Voi bellissimi!!!
Poland is classified as a high-income economy by the World Bank, ranking 19th worldwide in terms of GDP (PPP) and 22nd in terms of GDP (nominal).
Only recently though, thus many western europeans still think we're stuck in the 1985 or sth ;D
Yeah and GDP (PPP) per capita ranked 41. below Czech Rep, Cyprus and Lithuania
@@quant2011 Well, Gdp ppp is always higher for small countries like Czech Rep, Cyprus or Lithuania. With this criteria, Liechtenstein is the richest country in the world.
@@bartoszbrown1322 that’s very true. However, I actually prefer people thinking that Poland is “less than”, it makes the rest of us who are smarter able to enjoy the country without it being overrun and overpriced. Poland is the best kept secret. 🤫
In reality people are still poor in comparison to e.g Germany and now we are hit with a high inflation :/
What a beautiful city. Love you guys❤️
I'm planning a trip to Europe sometime this spring... my first since covid but 6th overall (& first with two passports 🇺🇸🇵🇱). I will spend my time mostly in Poland & Austria catching up with my cousins over there as well as some sightseeing.
I'm glad you had a great time in Gdansk. I recommend you visit other Polish cities, eg Toruń - the city of gingerbread and Copernicus, Warsaw - the capital teeming with life. We also have gorgous mountains and lakes, Poland is beautiful.
Hey guyz. Wow that town in Poland is so pretty: I live in IL lots of nice Polish people in my town. Very nice it looks like a town from a story book. I love those modern apartments on the river. Stay safe can’t wait for more content. 🥰🥰😄😄
Cieszę się że wam się podoba w Polsce pozdrawiam 🇵🇱
I can't believe that i've visited every country that borders Poland, but i've never visited Poland itself😥😥😥
It's time!🙌😉
Fair play! You usually leave the best treats to the end :)
Your photos of Gdansk are amazing, such a rich architecture and those new buildings look beautiful. 😍
It was lovely to see Gdansk from Dan's calm and experienced perspective as well as Oskar's excited perspective. Always enjoy your videos guys :)
Beautiful Europe!
I cannot wait for the day I visit Poland! It’s been on my bucket list forever!!
Seems like Bulgaria has been very much🤔 a vlogging destination this year in particular I’m looking forward to see what you make of it as well as Romania! I have to say the biggest surprise is Moldova!! What I know and have seen of it is not … not sure how to say this …it needs TLC and I’m usually one cheering for the under dog so I’m very curious 🧐 to see Moldova and meet its people culture etc remotely. I remember Bald and bankrupt little visit there 😳
Enjoy new countries
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
🙏🥰
Welcome in Poland, enjoy your sightseeing and record as many videos as possible
Oh you guys are SO cute!! Bear in mind this is coming from a senior female!! Lol! Seriously though, I’m so pleased to see that you guys are NOT like 90% of the travel bloggers who rave on about travelling with only carry on!! Omg! I’m so over hearing about backpacks and compression cubes!! There are other ways to travel, so I’m thrilled you guys show that! Yeah, I loved Sofia too and am heading to Poland next year too! Happy travels! Cheers from Australia!
Omg, we tried backpacking and carry on-only during the first few months of our gap year and...don't think we're cut out for it🤣😩 Thanks Marg🙏✨
@@OskarandDan Lol! Yeah, I can relate! Not a problem for you young and fit ones, but my back can’t cope with heavy weights anymore, so backpacks aren’t an option for me I’m afraid! It seems like those other loggers all assume that if you aren’t up for carry on only travel, then you’re not seriously into travel! I bet to differ! It’s my passion and I’ve been solo travelling for years now and am obsessed with exploring new places! I’m off to Iceland soon, so am counting the days! Hope you guys enjoy Sofia! I was there in 2019 the day after their first snowfall of the season and it was stunning! Enjoy!
Went to krakow last month from London. Amazing city will be back great holidays very safe
Top 6 best cities to visit on Poland: Wroclaw, Gdansk, Krakow, Warsaw, Poznan and Torun
Bialystok on east worth visit too , good vibe
Small towns like Sandomierz or Kazimierz Dolny are well worth a visit, as is the countryside.
@@justynadzt7728 Absolutely!
Always super proud to see my home city being appreciated on youtube ❤
I am agree. Im from Malaysia has no idea about Poland charming, until i watch your video. Thanks
Greetings from Gdańsk! Living here for 6 years and loving it! I'm glad you enjoyed the city and thanks for sharing with others.
The very dynamic editing of the film gives a very good impression of what Gdańsk looks like.
I am so excited that you guys finally made it to Bulgaria! Welcome and I can't wait to see you explore! PS: Gdansk looks just marvellous!
I've come to realize that Poland although a much poorer country in many ways is actually much more open to innovation and digitization than Germany or Austria where pen, paper and hard cash are still regarded in high value.
Yes. Poland is much further ahead on digital payments than United States. (Not sure about Germany or Austria) You still have older folks in US using checks and some companies are paying people in checks. Cash is king in US. Also, United States still uses chip in cards most of the time. Contact less is an option but its rarely used, doesn't work in many places, and is super slow. Even random bakeries in Poland have contact less that is always fast. People also pay with their Apple watch or phones. Very rare in the United States right now unless you are maybe in San Francisco.
Yes! Once we wanted to buy tickets to a concert in Berlin, and we could not, for the love of god, find the option to receive the digital ticket copies into our emails. Finally, I called one of my friend in Berlin and she explained that you have to mail them by post (obviously, you have to be a local Berlin resident for the fees to be cheap rather than mailing abroad). Apparently this is pretty common thing in Germany still. So strange :D
@@Pievineju1993 I went to an event at the National Stadium in Warsaw for the first time and everyone had a printer out ticket. I guess it is out of old habit because I easily got in with my phone. A weird situation where the stadium is ready for new change but the people are somehow stuck in the past. Hard to explain since everyone is all digital for payments.
That is true!
The Eastern European countries have been very eager to modernize after the Cold War, while Germany is far more conservative in some ways. I remember some years ago I visited Gdansk, and they had contactless payments everywhere, before it was introduced in my homeland Norway, which is a very digital and cashless country.
Powinniście odwiedzić Zakopane, Kraków i Wrocław może odnaleźli byście wszystkie krasnale
Amazing architecture in Gdańsk 🧐. Amazing too, that two boys have not been to Walt Disney World Orlando. 😳. I mean seriously 🤨🤣🤣🤣
Only Disneyland Paris a loooong time ago!
Poland😍😍😍
Lots of fun. I had no idea that Poland was a beautiful as you showed us. The background music you played going to and being in Poland was just electric and had trumpets playing. Would you please tell us the names and composers of the two pieces? Thanks gents 😎
Martin Landstrom and Grant Davis Newman :)
Thank you both so much!
When you come back home to Gothenburg and you miss the taste of Poland, try the stores we have on Hisingen!
Beautiful city ..
Everything is just SO exciting!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful trip😍👌
Beautiful vlog☺️
As a Polish person it’s so lovely to read all of these comments fawning over my country ahaha
Gdansk must be beautiful in winter too...
ehh, we have only max 5 snow days in Gdansk so 98% of winter time it's only cold and dark
It is, I've been there many times bcus my family lives there, but so far I've only visited Gdansk in winter once. And it was great, the atmosphere was somewhat dramatic? I mean, imagine walking in an old town, passing by all those ghotic buildings, in a stormy very dark weather. I spent around a week there, this year in January. And I was lucky enough to get 4 hours of snow lying on the ground (our winters aren't really as cold and freezing as it is portrayed in media and coastal areas tend to be even milder)
@@konradpalczynski6786 Oh ok, thanks for the heads up!
during snow yeah but gdansk doesnt get as much snow as say the polish mountains. Would recomend places down south ( close to the mountains) if you want a winter wonderland kinda vibe. Zakopane is the most well know but its also the biggest tourist trap and most expensive but there are others just as great if not better but less well known
Ooh I'm so excited for your Bulgaria video! I visited a few years ago for a week - went to Sofia, Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo. It was AMAZING, there's so much history and incredible nature to explore 💯 I've never been to Poland, having seen this video I'll need to visit next time I'm back in Europe!
Bulgaria was a treat😍
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
aww..you guys are so cute!
Been looking forward to your trip to Bulgaria, so I am excited for the next video 🤗🧐😯
It was such a pleasure to know that both of you enjoyed my country so much.
I, from America, lived in Poland for a year and recently posted a documentary about it.
Next level editing skills! Thx for liking my country :)
looking forward for your next video! i love see you guys post videos :)
Gdańsk and Wrocław the best 2 cities in Poland. People living there are so friendly, lovely and helpful. I love to play at saxophone at streets of Gdańsk old city
Your videos are always very interesting and perfect. I enjoyed watching it and also loved it too. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Poland on track to become wealthier than the UK by 2030 and was voted European Best Destination 2023 - Thousands of Poles are leaving the UK and returning home to Poland's booming economy, the country is set to catch up economically with the UK in terms of GDP per person by the end of the decade. I love you Poland 🇵🇱 ❤❤❤❤
Cute couple, great editing and an amazing Gdansk!
Cool video. I love Gdansk. I wanted to live there and close to the beach when I was a child. Now I do. Just in a different country. Give us a shout if you're ever in Wales :)
Live in Cardiff for 5 years. 2005-2010. Lovely city.
I hope you had a great time.
Hope you had a great time here in Poland.
Woo 90 countries! Nice!
I'm first time on your channel. I really like it how you filmed it. I'll definitely watch more.
It seems your trip to "country 88" was a bit complicated ! Well, good news maybe for you is that Wizzair will be flying Stockolm to Sofia🇧🇬 twice a week from December. Enjoy and thanks for sharing your trips!👍
Hi Oskar &. Dan, I’m so glad you enjoyed my home country. Would you consider flying LOT Polish airlines to your next Asian trips?
I was just thinking about that.
Hopefully sometime soon🙌
Greetings from Tricity in Poland :-)
Hi!! First of all I love your videos and I’m so happy that you’ve visited my country. If I could give you any advice for your next trip to Poland, I would recommend you to go to Zakopane. It’s a city located in a south and it has a vibe you couldn’t experience anywhere else. It’s literally in mountains so the views are amazing and the colors, vibe, music, food and everything is just amazing. Love you guys!❤️
How have I only just come across your video!?? I already love you guys, you are fun, entertaining and informative... now I've watched your first video (well, first for me), I'm heading straight to your channel - Gary 🙂
Thank you Gary😍
Good poland im sri lanka
Awesome vlog you guys

I think u were right in about Scandinavians visit Poland a lot, beqcuse my feiend was at border armed army aguard and he would say espacially swedds woudld visit Poland a lot
Oh wow Three countries what a trip
Mmmm....mój piękny Gdańsk ..!

Beautiful vlog guys! You two must come to Florida and go the Disney World!! I live about 2 hours from it and never get tired of it. I think you guys would like Epcot too 😊😊
Hopefully one day🙌🏰
Hello Oskar & Dan, from TORONTO. Thank you so much, for this lovely video from Gdansk POLAND. Wow !!!!!!!, what a beautiful city. I wished I was there. Thanks
ohh, I hope that you enjoyed your time in my hometown :)!
From the Gambia saying hi.
Oh, and one thing you should do in Gdańsk is climb the St. Mary Church bell tower (largest all-brick Gothic church in the world, I think). It's _really_ something (and I climbed a few bell towers in my career, including the Paris Notre-Dame which is just _not_ as good).
My home country! 🥰
Im Happy that you like my homecity.
Amazing video
TWO JOYFULL SOULS !!!!!! thank you ****
I would love to follow your footsteps and visit 100 countries. Congrats for no 88, 89 and 90!
Omg I want to go to that restaurant
love Gdansk
I feel so proud that I was born in Gdansk
If you love some islands or beaches, check out Philippines. The best months are March, April May. Check Coron, Palawan. El Nido, Palawan and Puerto Princesa, Palawan. That's the best island I recommend. But there's a lot of islands and beaches in the Philippines. Hope yo see your blog there! Thank you!
Amazing tour! Also.. can anyone tell me what have happend to this road sing? xD 2:45
next time visit poznan, really pretty city. its my favorite in poland. architechture of this city is wonderful, old town is worth to see
Not this year, the whole city center is under construction and it's very messy. Maybe it will end next year.
@@frankj.thomas9429 i know :/ i went there in may this year and i wasn’t happy about that :( still it’s really pretty and worth to see💕
@@aiceya134 You are very positive person and it is (but not during the renovations). I think that there will be very nice by the end of the next year or in 2024. Now the first impression is strange and ambivalent. Cheers
@@frankj.thomas9429 well, we can’t do anything about that. you’re right. cheers
i would recomend to wait a year. They whole old tow seuare is fucked up with renovations and its not thet good right now. give it a year and sure.
Strawberry in north America smell like chemical plastic actually all fruits smell like poisonous plastic there
this where yachty took the wock
not sure if there are any direct flights to Gothenburg from Sofia - but there are direct flights to Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen... So at least by Scandinavian standarts Sofia is a relative normal destination
But since i better like Gdansk I do understand your choice to fly there
Yay
We were at Poland 2 weeks 1 year ago
Did you take the wok to poland
