You guys are so helpful! I love your videos - this one was perfect. I had thought Estonia would be really expensive, and I guess it can be, but good to know it doesn’t have to be 😊
@@triciamckellar6509 Thank you for the kind comment! We're really happy you enjoy our videos 😃Estonia can be pricey but with a bit of walking around, it is possible to travel comfortably there on a budget! ~ Mandy
LOVE these, and you do them so well! Very thorough and very informative. Getting the local supermarket card is such a great tip, even if you're only in the area a few days. Can't wait for the next one (and please consider this one vote for the beer video)!
Hahhha... I so want to do the Estonian beer video - your comment may have just swung it for me 😀😁 Thank you so much for the compliment - it's always great to hear from viewers, especially when we're told our videos and frugal travel tips are useful to other travellers! Thanks for taking the time to write, we appreciate it so much! ~ Mandy
Thank you, Elisa and David, for such a lovely comment! We're fortunate in that we're naturally frugal and enjoy sticking to a budget. We really hope that these Frugal Travel Costs videos will prove helpful to others! ~ Mandy
That's wonderful. So pleased you found it useful, Sally. We'll try to do more of these for all the countries we travel to. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙏😍
Thanks for sharing. I head to Portugal this week end and took you advice booked Flix bus from Lisbon to Porto for very cheap price. Love your content. Happy travel.
@@huynhmao9514 Excellent! We hope you have a wonderful time in Óbidos... we really enjoyed walking around the city walls, even if it's scary in places! That video is coming in a month... unfortunately way too late for your visit! 😃 ~ Mandy
Marvellous . I visited Tallin in 2008 and was blown away . It is a treat to watch your video and reminisce . During my trip I heard great things about Saaremaa but couldn't fit it in . Like you ,I was very glad many products from that area were available around Estonia . Well done to you both !
Thanks. We're glad it brought back he good memories of Tallinn for you. We really loved it there and would definitely return to see more of Estonia. Saaremaa looks interesting and would love to explore there. At least we got to taste their amazing produce. 😊👍 ~ Lee
Hello Andrew, lovely to hear from you! Estonia is wonderful... that's why we kept extending our stay in Tallinn to 22 nights in the end 😁😀 I'm sure you'll really enjoy it! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalMrB Yayyy... yellow/orange/green stickers are wonderful, and I'm so pleased they have them here in most Portuguese supermarkets. CoMarket in Tallinn and Parnu was definitely the best supermarket for orange stickers, and saved us so much money, while introducing us to new Estonian food! ~ Mandy
Thanks for watching, Todd. We're sure you'll love Estonia. Such a great country to visit and it can be good value for money too. Hope you make it. 👍 ~ Lee
Wow, that was an amazing video. So inspirational to see your "frugal" trips. I'm envious! I really respect your type of travel and have a lot of great tips for future travel. Thanks
Oh, that's such a lovely comment, Gar, and it's exactly the type of reaction we were hoping for! We really want to show people exactly how we travel long term on a low budget, and are striving to incorporate more travel tips and advice into our videos! If you can think of anything in particular you'd like us to cover, please let us know, as it would be great to hear feedback! ~ Mandy
Ok, LOVED this video! You both are almost giddy about your frugal finds!! If you go back to Lisbon please do this type of video! I'd call this result a major win especially since you had such a good time while saving money!!! Excellent presentation, ideas and breakdown...I think you're on to something...
Tamara, you are so incredibly kind with this lovely comment! We're so pleased you loved the video... and we think you're onto a great idea about doing a Frugal Travel Cost vlog for Lisbon! We definitely have enough footage from our 10 days there in November to put together a comprehensive breakdown - we'd never thought about doing an FTC for a city so thank you for the brilliant idea! We really appreciate your support and your great comments, and always look forward to hearing from you 🙏😀 ~ Mandy
Hello Leslee! It's always great to hear from you. That library was wonderful, as was the cafe downstairs, especially with the 50% discount for the last hour! ~ Mandy
Thanks, Cindy - we're so pleased you enjoyed the video, and I'm sure you'll love the beers in Estonia! Watching this video has made me want to go back to Tallinn and have a beer at the Balti Jaama Turg! I can't wait to hear about your cycle trip... that's something Lee would also love to do! ~ Mandy
Thank you so much. We're sure you'll have a wonderful time in beautiful Tallinn. It's such a great city. Enjoy all those amazing beers! 🍻🍻 Cheers ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers Heh, some of my comment is missing, there's suppose to be text between nice vid! And if you come.....Evil youtube bots have improved themselves 😃😁Ok lets try again, wanted to know if have checked the channel i suggested and what to you think about it.
Thanks. I'll put them on my must try list when we return to Estonia. We couldn't believe the amount of choice there and so many good ones. It's a beer drinkers paradise! 😁~ Lee
Great ideas:) Mandy when you phone the accommodation do you find the language barrier a problem? In person I could probably manage but on a call I struggle to understand sometimes. Well done video!
Hi Jessie. Thank you so much for your lovely comment! In regards to phoning hotels, most people seem to speak very good English as are in the tourism industry. If there are any difficulties communicating, I will send an email or a message. We don't always do this but sometimes the savings are definitely worth it! Wd hope you enjoy our other videos. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ~ Mandy
It's a tremendous shame you chose not to visit any museums in Tallinn. I work at the Estonian History Museum an I would have let you guys in for free, since you are basically journalists, aren't you?
hello. your Estonia series was very good. thanks for share video with us. also, you are best couple. I was enjoying your video. I am from Bangladesh. please, visit our country. our countrys people are very friendly. while, you visit village in our country. villages people will surround you🤣. because, villages people are become very curiosity while they see foreigner🤣. also, our country is beautiful. you will see worlds long sea beach in our country. our ancestor were sacrifice life in ww2 for British. you will see graveyard them in Chittagong. love from Bangladesh.
Hello Ashik. Thank you very much. We're glad you enjoyed the Estonia series. It was a lovely place! 😊 We do indeed intend to visit Bangladesh sometime over the next few years. We've always wanted to go there and see city and village life. 😊. We first met in Nepal 26 years ago and travelled in India together but have not yet been to Bangladesh. Hopefully soon. 🙏😊
In my opinion it’s time to let Estonia be a nice small Nordic country. Estonia very deserves to be a Nordic country, because Estonia has done a lot of work, we have many smart people, we are good at digital things, we have northern lights and we are very similar to Finland and other Nordic countries like: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. We are not similar to Latvia and Lithuania and the other Eastern Europe countries. It’s time to stop calling Estonia Eastern Europe country and Baltic country and forget all this terrible, rude and mean Soviet times. Let’s just stop this Eastern Europe and Soviet stigma thing and let Estonia turn the new page and let them be a normal small Nordic country next to Sweden and Finland!!! Estonians call themselves the Nordic country and many other people and tourists had also said that Estonia should be a Nordic country, because Estonian people are Finnic people not Balts and we are more similar to Scandinavia. Yes many people had agreed with that Estonia must belong to the Nordic group and seperate from Latvia and Lithuania. They don’t even need these countries, because Estonians communicate more with Finns and other Scandinavian countries. Estonia will be a very good partner for the other Nordic countries. We will do a very great work and we will be very strong!!! 🙏😊

I love your room at Suda hostel in Tallin 2:25. 💙 It has a nice window. And it's cozy. Good price.
Yes that place was a great find. I normally don't like basement rooms but the window made all the difference. Nice people there too. 👍 ~ Lee
"Süda" means "heart" in Estonian.
@@gbrdhvndi We didn't know that! Makes sense as there was such a warm welcome there. ❤️
The street is called Süda street too.
So much good info here. You have such good discipline to help your money go further. Well done Lee and Mandy 👍

Thank you. It's definitely worth trying to time your visit for the festival. It's a fantastic event. Happy travels! 👍😊 ~ Lee
Brilliant video and really informative
Thank you for such a lovely comment! We're pleased you enjoyed the video! ~ Mandy
Some great budget tips - thanks for these, I'll make sure to use them when I (eventually!) visit Estonia
I'm also a lover of local supermarkets - especially 'yellow' sticker things

5:35 The place is called "the third dragon", which is a nod to the two dragon heads sticking out the gutter of the Town Hall roof.
Ahhh.. Now I get it. Thanks for that. Do the dragon heads have any special significance? The gutter seemed a relatively new addition.
@@FrugalTravellers the dragon heads are decorative gargoyles, which replaced the old stone ones in the mid 1600's.

Loved the library lunch tip

There's a medieval bar in Lisbon, too. I'm trying to remember if you went there or not? Trobadores. We've played music in there.
Wow. I've never heard of that place. We'll have to look out for it next time we are there. Thanks. ~ Lee
Excellent well done! Baltics are on my bucket list, there's a great cycle route that passes through the 3 countries. Can't wait to try those beers lol

Nice Monster High bag!! Ragggh!
It's still going strong. €1 well spent. 😁
I've never seen Monster High but it's a great bag... I had to cut the chain off though as that was a bit much 🤣 ~ Mandy
I'm guessing that during Covid times, it was easier to 'wing it' with accommodation, as things were presumably not as booked up as usual.
Totally. The place was pretty empty compared to a usual summer. We never had a problem. ~ Lee
So were you supposed to keep the upsidedown beer can upsidedown before opening?
Not a good Idea unless you want wet feet. 😂
Aha nice video
That's lovely of you to say! Thank you! ~ Mandy
