OMG Olive 🫒 - watching this tour through Zadar was such a treat - I'm already completely in love with the town! I have so much to say!! 🤣 Let me start at the beginning: your airb&b looks outstanding... I don't even dare to ask about the price... Matt seems to have the perfect job for travelling in style with a reasonable budget and enjoy luxury accommodation! PS. so nice to see him just randomly for a bit - very satisfying... 😎 the town is very pleasant - not over-sophisticated, rather simple and beautiful in its charm; and not over-touristy & over-crowded! I felt relaxed looking around... even the pavements looked comfortable to walk on... the museum of illusions was sweetly filmed and fun to watch! ...really nice how you show and describe the food, and how much you enjoy it... the black risotto seems to be a 'must'. (I'll remember that, if I ever visit!).🥘🥫 I again and again was aware of the ambient music, that you were underlying the footage with - so well done, Olive - its really worthwhile to mention!! 🎶🎵 The atmosphere at the sea was gorgeous, and even with more people there, it still felt relaxed - a perfect holiday destination to me! And when the sun started to go down and turn into night it felt dreamlike and magical... 🌇🌅🌉 I've watched your journey of you-tubing now from your first day on the 'frances', and I can see how you improve and learn, feel more and more comfortable... the filming gets better and better... this video deserves instead of a 1.000, rather 100.000 watchers, and it will come, Olive... it will come, just continue like this... I'm always so delighted, when I see a new video of yours showing up! Looking now forward to day 2 in Zadar! 👍😺🌞💛
Thank you so much, once again, for such a lovely comment! 😊 The Airbnb was actually discounted to 100 euros/night (fees included) when we booked it, so it was a pretty good deal! 😁 Matt does indeed have the perfect job for traveling, and it's so amazing that we sometimes get to enjoy a more luxurious side of travel. ✈🌟 I agree, the town didn't feel touristy at all, and you described it perfectly! And the black risotto really is a must! 🍲 Thank you so much! 🎶 I do think music is so important when trying to show or recreate the right atmosphere. Sometimes I look at the footage, and in my head, I have a very clear idea of what the images should sound like, and then spend so much time trying to find something that matches that. 😂 Zadar was indeed a great destination! There are also quite a few day trips available, so I wish we had stayed a bit longer to visit more of the surrounding areas. I'd love to explore more of Croatia on a road trip at some point. 🚗 Thank you so much for your supportive words, they really mean a lot to hear! ❤ Most people, including myself before starting the channel, watch videos from the 'shadows' without interacting, which is completely understandable. However, when you're on the creator's side of TH-cam, it always leaves you wondering: Was this good? Was it really bad? Did I say something wrong? Did people enjoy watching? 💭 It's like you're exposed to so many opinions without knowing who's out there watching and what they think. And then there are the people who do interact, share their thoughts, and are always there, and I had no idea what a difference it makes for someone, especially new to TH-cam! 😊 Every time I read all the nice comments, it reminds me why I love TH-cam and the community it can create, and why I wanted to start a channel in the first place. So thank you so much for showing your support since day one! 💚🌄🏞🏝
A fun, enjoyable day in Zadar. You and Matt had a nice walk around a clean, lively, and beautiful town. That squid ink risotto did look tasty. And … yes … the portions were huge! Even the cake slices were big! Costs relative to other Mediterranean countries? The special blue twilight on the quay did show on camera. Beautiful! Thanks for taking us with you.
Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed the video! 😊 Regarding prices, the restaurants were a bit more expensive than I had expected. For example, the risotto was 17-19 euros and the beef with gnocchi was 25 euros; the price range for a main course in a well-rated restaurant was between 17 and 30 euros. On the other hand, accommodation was more affordable compared to other places. Airbnbs offered better value than hotels, and our flat was discounted to 100 euros/night (fees included) at the time of booking (there were cheaper options available too). 🏠
This was great really enjoyed your video I've been watching loads as my wife and I are going to zadar for 5 days in August we really liked your work thanks its appreciated
My family is from that area and the njoki is traditionally paired with a meat stew or as a side dish to grilled meat. It's not unusual at all. Glad you were able to enjoy Zadar!!
Always very informative videos. Have you any plans to walk another Camino de Santiago, I recommend the Portuguese route along the coast and the Variente Espiritual
Thank you! 😊I would love to walk another Camino, and when I do, it will most likely be the Portuguese route. However, the timing will depend on when I can manage both the time and budget for it, so it might be a little while longer before I start that journey. 🏞
What a beautiful day, enjoy 🎉
Thank you! 💙
