Romania, you’re beautiful! Spending 3 days living with a family at a sheep station in the mountains? Let’s go! I think lifestyles like this will disappear off the face of Europe within a generation, so documenting this traditional sheepfold in Maramures, the cheese making process and the life up there is something we shouldn’t take for granted.
Thank you to the Petru Family (Ion, Ana and Ionuc) for hosting me, Andra for being a wonderful friend and guide and The Village Hotel in Breb for organising this adventure.

Romania is such a beautiful place I ever seen in my life.
Thanks for showing us the world 🌍

I'm an Californian who love your vlogs, Eva. They are sustaining me. You are rare, in touch with ... with ... that which is rare.
It happens that I've been to Romania seven times between 1998 and 2004. You bring back memories of an amazing people.
omg 7 times in Romania, that's a lot
Oh Romania!!! You are as sweet & magnificient as honey. Those shepherds are angels on this planet!!!!
Respect from Serbia ☦️🇷🇸🦅
Love our Serbian brothers. From the Banat region
I always wanted to. Come. To Serbia cause I know how good Serbians were with our Romanians who did escape from Romanian before 1989 they were better then moldovians post guards all the best to Serbs
☦️
Srdan lol
Respect from România! Love Serbia! And want goo in Serbia, for visit!
I lived in Romania for two years. It is most definitely my favorite of all places I have lived and cant wait to visit again.
much appreciated! ...we drink a pălincă now in your honour. ..
Have you visited the monasteries?
@@margelatutrandafirulgalben3156 no I never did.
Foarte bine! Where did you live in romania?
@@MsErikdeking I was living near Crairova.
I like Romania and the Romanian people 🇹🇩.
I watch you from Morocco 🇲🇦.
Good luck😊

Romania It's a hidden gem in Europe!
🇷🇴 Real natural beauty
My husband just yelled to me “Where are you? What are you doing?” My reply: I am in Romania, milking goats! Thank you Eva for a wonderful journey!
Lllmlll
You're so funny 😂
Ahahahahha, adorable ❤
LOL

"Eva, may you live long." What a special blessing.
It gave me goosebumps
@@ehmha3641 why?

Îmi piace lîmbă română 🇷🇴
So far one of the few romanian sentences I know.
Further I would also like to dance with Eva💃🏻
@martin kullberg Not bad at all for one of the few Romanian sentences :) Keep practicing !
Eva! you are really very nice and open minded.. You dont judge a country from its cover but goes inside, meets local people and shows the true essence of any country..Love ❤️ from 🇵🇰
So refreshing to see videos such as those you post. I toured Romania by bicycle last year and can't wait to return again. All of Eastern Europe is on my to do list. Thanks for the previews to my future.
Feels like im watching some documentaries in Netflix. You really deserve so tv shows or a Netflix's series! You're such a great story teller!
No book would have captured this life better. Thank you for showing us the nuances, the challenges, and core of living in a sheep station. Keep on!
“The stupid person couldn’t take care of the sheep” woww so impressive. They’re very intelligent. Thanks you Eva for showing the world. Love fm Botswana 🇧🇼❤️
He said that because in old mentality of peoples the sheppers was considerate not intelligent persons . And this is not true!
Shepherds were (and are) considered stupid because their lifestyle does not allow for a systematic education. They're with the sheep year round. They spend most of the time traveling - sheep are moved hundreds of miles each spring and each autumn, between their wintering places and the summer pastures. That makes it difficult to go to school.
On the other hand, they get a different kind of education. They know every herb and every critter that lives where they live, they know how to take care of most of their health problems themselves, they know more about sheep and dogs than many veterinarians, they know how to work with animals and how to deal with predators - and this knowledge is passed down from one generation to the next. The really sad thing is that once the link is broken, there's no way to put it back again.
You capture the magic. My grandparents from Lithuania were very similar , and I was able to store memories of their farm as a young child. Maybe the earth will return to this lifestyle. I will dream of this tonight. Thanks a bunch. I’m 70 last month. Stay as wholesome as you are. 🎶
*As a Romanian living in UK and watching this you have made me literally cry. I miss my country so much and because of the pandemic, this year I couldn't make it back home and it's been really difficult but watching this you brought me joy, made me realized how beautiful Romania it is and hopefully in a good day I'll return back home. Thank you for showing the beautiful part of Romania🇷🇴 and I wish you all the best!*
It's developed why u left?
I like Romania very much.
🇮🇳♥️🇷🇴
@@saadbodla3092 what is developed? Romania? At the moment we are still under developing, with some big cities doing good while many rural areas being poorly developed.
buna! ce mai faci? invat limba romana :)
@@ItsMikeLearns salut, mult succes! :)
Thank you from bringing Romania close to Brazil, where I am right now, enjoying every bit of this beautiful video!
This is one of the best piece of content I've ever seen on youtube. Technical, crisp storytelling and brilliantly produced!
Indeed. Love from the Philippines🇵🇭
What beautiful people! What beautiful land! Thank you for bringing us to places that most of us will never get to see.
Amazing Romania. Very warm and friendly people.
Strange moment when you acknowledge your close linguistic relative whom you had ignored til now. It's obvious!! Romanian IS a romance language, just like Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French (and the other two less ignored members of this family who are Catalan and Galician)
My apologies to our lovely family member Romanian (and any other who I might have forgotten).
Romanian language it is a latin language.
Eva, this video is top quality (views, editing etc) thanks for visiting us , the forests and the wilderness charges you with an unique and powerfull energy , you should visit the Danube Delta aswell
My Allah, they all are nice people. Kindly protect them. Lots of love for all of them , lots of hugs for sheeps . From Pakistan
In Europe you can find alot of nice ,simple life with nature and people focusing on family not only rely on internet in phone
@@n0rmalna Love from Pakistan
Same to you!
@@sapphirecamui6447
😊
Heard people in your country are just as kind - if not even more!
My dog is a rescue from Romania, its funny how similar she looks to the dogs on the sheep farm
Are named shepperd of Bucovina are 3 species Like this dogs and one this species IT very similar with shepperd of Pirinei
How did you get past the language barrier between you and your dog? Did you learn Romanian or did your dog learn English first?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
@@viov1975 she actually learned Dutch LOL no english for this doggo
Beautifull dogs. Love them so much.
@@Amy-kn2nw AWESOME, I'm part Dutch but can't speak it. Can you train me?
As a Romanian I must thank you for your videos ! You're always welcomed here. You could visit Cluj Napoca also , if you are still in Romania... 😊. I also recommend Transfagarasan and Transalpina if you like to be literally in the clouds.
A fost in Cluj, de-asemenea la Cimitirul Vesel (de unde poate o sa apara vlog) dar filmeaza vloguri doar din locuri autentice si izolate. Acum e in Bucovina
@ Eva zu Beck : magnificent, never thought that there is such authentic countries and places like this in Europe. Best from Paris-France 🇫🇷
yes it”s real!

It's amazing to see that everywhere around the world people drink coffee when waking up, but this plant only grows up in a few countries. Many and many people drink coffee and never saw a coffee plant. My country, Brazil has one of the biggest plantations in the world.
Congratulations for what you are doing, everytime I watch a video from you I feel like living it. The way you present the people and the traditions is amazing and touching. 😊
This time my heart ❤️ is beating faster because you made a video about my own country. 😊 I can say it’s the best video showing the real life of the shepherds in the mountains of Romania. 🌲🐑🐏🐐🐕 Hopefully this will be seen by people all over the world in search for escaping into the nature and finding inner peace. We, the Romanians, really enjoy having guests from abroad and sharing our stories and way of life with them. 🇹🇩
Thank you for your wonderful work! 👍
Proud to be a Romanian!!!! Awesome video and I can't thank you enough for the amazing footage!! Good luck on your next adventure!! Să trăiască România!!! 🇹🇩🇹🇩🇹🇩
TRĂIASCĂ IN VECI !!! ❤️🇷🇴❤️
Trāiascā si înfloreascā!

This is real life of traditional Romanian family of shepherd!!! Congratulations!!
How do they get water on the mountain?
@@calebcadainoo There are enough water springs around in the mountains of Romania.
Caleb Crosby Adainoo they usually build the settling near a water source - and as the other person said, they’re usually a lot around the mountains.
@@haiduc4ever oh wow
@@iarina10 Interesting I need to visit sometime I guess
Thank you so much for showing the beauty of my country Romania. This little wild country is like a jewel. 👍👌🙏😍😍
Absolutely love their way of life, simplicity, and wildness.
Thank you for showing such an amazing world.
I sometimes wish to have been born shepherd.😁
The mighty mountains
The rivers
The streams
What a life ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Much love for Romania from Somalia 🇸🇴
Bravo Eva: your Romanian words pronunciation is perfect!!
Beautiful video of the beautiful Maramures: a place where the time stood still, unique region in Eastern Europe.
Cred că Eva este originară din regiunea autonomă vlahă din Polonia. Și figura o trădează. Nu are față de poloneză ci de româncă. Regiunea vlahă este împărțită între Polonia Cehia și Slovacia. Nu se mai vorbește română dar sunt conștienți de originea lor.
@@williamgabrielmortianu9873 am descoperit-o recent, un alt video despre Romania si am avut aceeasi impresie, nu arata poloneza, sincer arata cam ca mine la colorit, m-am gandit ca e originara din Romania sau Ungaria.
I always thought it would be easy to live like this shephard lifestyle away from everything without any modern equipments, and i've learned it may not be easy but its peaceful
Yeah, extremely peaceful, especially when a bear or a pack of wolves decides to pay a visit 😁 - which they occasionally do. There's a reason all those people kept repeating that it's a hard life. You don't get any of the comforts of civilization. You're practically on the job permanently. If you feel unwell, or get sick, there's nobody to fill your place. Every single mistake you make has an immediate and usually long lasting damaging effect on your flock.
I've been to Romania, specifically in Oradea, and it is a beautiful place
Eva, unlike many travel TH-camrs, does not treat people as an exhibit or background for their own performance, but interacts with them sincerely, tries to get to know them, their lifestyle. I love her approach to the world and people.
You should be on National Geographic or something , Amazing content Bravo
Thank you Eva ,for visiting my beautiful, blessed country .I'm sure you are feeling great there 🥰😘🙏
Oh the cheese! The countryside is beautiful. It looks like a good place with good people.
The cheese indeed 🤣
😍 beautiful shot & framing
So many good words of wisdom around the campfire.
🥰
12:58 " du-te de acolo 'tutzi maria matii ' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's for the dog !
Go away from there ..and then comes some swearing to the dog to live you alone :)))) nice Vlog I love you guys !
Big up ! Subscribed Liked shared ;) big 🤗😘
So beautiful! No more words! "May you live long, Eva" 🙏🏼
It is great that some countries are still open for tourists because thanks to that now we can watch Ewa’s travel vlogs 😀😎
That's great!🌞
This is magical. Thank you for showing the entire world the true beauty and authenticity of my country. Sadly, as the family said, there are not many shepherds left in the country and this way of living is almost extinct...😞
Hi Eva, you are living my dream. I love the way you get out of your comfort zone, explore the unexplored and travel the less trodden paths.Keep going girl :)
You can do it too! 🙃
@@evazubeck see you soon in Kashmir
Thank you so much for making such beautiful videos about our country! We follow you and your videos, your stories, your experiences and we are always having a relaxing, good and exciting time watching them! All our best wishes for you!
Wow Rominia is so beautiful country and the people are so kind love from Pakistan 👍👍👍
How welcoming, wise & wonderful these authentic, powerful people are! What a heartwarming joy to watch this! Thank you all!
I genuinely felt the peacefulness of a life lived by doing what you love! Thank you for introducing us the wonderful Petru family! 🤗🌲
♥️ tears on my eyes, thank you Eva for everything ❤️ with love from a romanian girl, Maria ♥️
This was my favorite adventure so far. I could feel the life in the village. Thank you Eva!
Eva, you are an artist. Wonderful video. And I appreciate so much how you have showcased the beauty of the people, culture, sheep, dogs, food and landscapes.
This is amazing Eva 👍 so happy to see you had such a great time in my country 😍😍😍 Romania has got lovely people , natural beauty and much more 😊 thank you for making all public | thank you for visiting my country
When you explore to indonesia
I grew up with this ..now is Australia looking up at this I cry 😢..they work so hard and they don't get the value of life they deserve. They are blessed
Eva, I've recently started to follow your journey when i came across your vlog in Damasco.
from the start I liked your honest and toughtful take on the world
you have such an amazing soul
it makes me wanna go out there and meet all these incradible people and lives
I think you really make unique content, and unlike other travel vloggers you dont takt anything for granted
this video, among others you made, is a really good docummentary in the very best acception of the term. I am an anthropologist and it you do a really great job diving in their culture.
thank you for inspiring me
much love from Brazil
This one is beautiful on many levels ❤️
romanian guy here. feelin proud and well chuffed.
have fun around Romania, Eva
👍
Eva this was enchanting! You captured everything so beautifully and I can’t be prouder for you portraying my country in such a beautiful way. Indeed that is raw living ❤️🇷🇴
larina S. You so beautiful
Another mesmerizing video..this is not just an ordinary travel vlog about beautiful landscapes and people and drone shots rather a concoction between the two..a treat to the eyes and soul.The aesthetic sense that you bring to each video truly stands out..Great going Eva..you are an INSPIRATION.

If you love what you do, it's easy to do it, no matter how hard!
I will remember this forever ❤️
Magical salt which on Balkans we call Vegeta.
😀same in Romania ,she was joking
Yes we Romanians call it vegeta too, the lady was joking when she said "magic", referring to the company magi that make this poison...and I'm saying poison because it suppose to be salt and dry vegeta(vegetables) only, but unfortunately contains other chemicals too...
I love the people of Romania, having met many... (some were refuges in Ireland and Norway, just trying to find and make their way) ...on my travels, though rocky at first, before I had befriended them, and when I had become accepted as "friend", I felt adopted, they treated me just like family. They're raw, genuine and real, the only way to be. I'll never forget them.
Love you Eva zu Beck! Thank you for taking us on another beautiful adventure; what a beautiful video! I loved those dogs, the sheep/goats, and that food looked so amazingly good!

What do you mean by romanian refugees? You mean during the communist days?
@@Zdamaneta Well I am not sure how to answer your question, I must be delicate; I mean refugee and/or asylum seeker "status" as granted by the EU, for whatever reason. If I say more, or give more information, it could be highly controversal, maybe upsetting to some who can't, or may not be able understand the circumstances associated.
@@skydance8017 I'm sorry but we romanians are in the EU and we cannot be refugees. Romania is a developed 2nd world country, not rich for Western European standards, but on global standards we are quite well.
@@Zdamaneta Yes friend, you are absolutely correct. The only thing more I'm going to say about my previous posts are: 1) Much has happened since January 1, of 2007 when Romania was added to the E.U. 2) My experiences predated that annexation. 3) You may, or may not, ...be close by your assertion about the G. M. Beyond that, it's complicated and sensitive. I feel like I need to protect these people from those who may not understand their circumstances. That's all I'm going to say.
@@skydance8017 are you talking about the gypsy minority?
i love romania! i cant wait to visit there :)
Eva, this video is the best one you have ever made. Really great!
When I am Looking at you Eva, life seems more simple to me. Thank you again you visited Romania! 🌸

@@ppn194 Sorry, that was how it was written in the subtitles,what does it mean? Or is that similar to Jona, Yunus?
@@kls7370 It is a diminutive of Johann, John, Jean. In Romanian it is Ion or Ioan. II think Yunus is the Arab version of Johann, but you should know better than me. Definitely Jona is not Johann, Ion, Jean. Jona is only phonetically simmilar.

I am proud when someone like you promote ours country like this: traditionals and with such a good vibe.
You are a very nice and cute person.God Bless You in your journey!
The old man is right if you love your work then you don't work a day in your life. Your work becomes a hobby. I experienced that too
Being a shepherd is hard, but the freedom you have is priceless
So much fun. (And so much cheese) Haha 😆 🇷🇴

Aww the doggie's face looking at Eva in the beginning of the video is so cute. And then they start biting her arm lol
It's a real joy watching this window working hard to make both ends meet in the lap of very nature.....life is hard but joyful...away from the well developed world which makes you feel lonely in the end of the day.. well done dear young Polish lady🌹🌹

Thank u, eva for a wonderful journy .l learn something from the video,amazing eva zu..... I love ur video may u live long.
It must be great visiting a sheep station and see how cheese is made. The food is fresh and healthy a rare thing to see these days in big cities..
Absolutely amazing 🙃
@@evazubeck Sure is 💛
Its not rare. Why would you say such a thing? All you need to do is go to city markets where all the freshest food is sold by locals.
@@dreamthedream8929 Not as fresh as I see it here that's for sure..
@@user-us6ce7me8k you are exegerating. There is plenty of fresh food available in cities sold by locals. Some of it such as bread is sometimes even made on the spot. Its not rare at all. I eat fresh banana almost everyday straight from the banana trees sold in various smaller shops.

Ooo it refreshed my memories of school days when I used to milk my buffalos on sunrise and evening. Indeed, it's a very technical work. And I was glad because my forearms were becoming stronger and stronger day by day, by milking buffalos. Good memories. These countryside works vanish the laziness from us and makes us to realise how grateful we are.

If you love what to do, it's easy to do it.
The world belongs to the brave.
the precious learning that I get after watched this video. I like it. Thanks Eva
Doar ce am vazut filmul, viata simpla si grea. Oameni frumosi si buni care se multumesc cu putinul muncii lor. Dumnezeu sa le dea sanatate, putere si intelepciune. O zi buna si Doamne ajuta. Just watching the movie, life is simple and hard. Beautiful and good people who are satisfied with a little of their work. May God give them health, strength and wisdom.
Eva, you´re my favorite youtuber now.
You and Mr Bald & Bankrupt.
So down to earth.
Complexed moddfakkas try to impress with luxury. That’s not traveling. That´s herding tourists in and out from reservations.
Showing ordinary people´s lives is travelling.
Omg that goulash and cheese donut looked amazinngggg. I also loved the Petru's family philosophy: if you love what you're doing, it's easy to do it. I think many more people need that kind of way of life, would spare the pain people experience of pursuing a fruitless way of life that doesn't align with their goals/values. Great vlog, Eva! Looking forward to the next one :)
Absolutely agree with you on all fronts! Thanks for the love 💪
If you love what you do, everything will be as easy as pie.🥰
I want some of that cheese water it do healthy cleansing the liver! We call it sirutka in Yugoslavia
we call.it zer or zar in romanian
Great video again :) You can really get off the beaten path in Romania, I enjoyed hitch hiking through rural maramures and exploring all those nice wooden churches there.
You're absolutely perfect, I adore you!
Since I've discovered you, you seem to be a living dream. All of those oriental realms which I completely love, culturally, and now in my own country...Simply amazing! 💙 🇷🇴
Ana Cristina Lupu you so beautiful
Loved the storyline and the way you interacted with them. Seriously keep up the amazing work!!
I love your videos, your energy is so good ❤️. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
Brenda you so beautiful Linda
The Petru family is one big example of how to simply enjoy your work and your life… Long life to them and for Eva too… Cheers
I so love how you explore the world, how openminded you are and it's clear when you're friendly towards people they're friendly towards you- that something very important that we seems to forget these days. 🤗👍💖💐
What a life ❤️ thank you Eva for allowing us to live this adventure through you 🙏
Wunderschön zu sehen, wie die Schafe dort leben dürfen :) Danke für die tollen Aufnahmen, Eva
Hello Eva. Greetings from Bali / Indonesia. Great vid! Thank you so much for ur video work. I enjoyed it so much watching. I did not know that Romania is still so rural. You are so fresh and entertaining. Stay safe and healthy.
Omg, you are so close to where I live! I’m from Satu Mare, which is right next to Maramures! Yet I’ve never really had the privillage to get to know a shepherd family like that.
Ohh girl, u such a lovely human being!!! I'v just discovered your channel and i tottaly love it!!! Wish i could have a travel buddy like u!!!!! Can't wait to see more from Romania!!!! Keep it goin'
You literally change the way people think about travel. So beautiful. Amazing experience is what you want in life 👍🏽😍
Very similar to sheeperds life in IRAN, thanx alot dear EVA for interesting report , hopping you to be always safe and sound ,good luck.
