Seriously! So glad y’all had the same experience; the people are wonderful 😊 That food was delicious!

I,m Bulgarian Greetings Romania 🇷🇴. Thanks for video.
Romania is a jewel! Visited for the first time this summer. Definitely not the last!!
That _jewel_ has been stolen from Hungary😂🇭🇺✌🏻...
@@gaborszadai1992 Everything built by Saxons but stolen from Mongol Hungary? You were Austria's puppies. You should be thankful we freed you from communism, ended up in Budapest and left in 1919. We could have made you our puppies too, but we're not Austria. Be thankful for still having Hungary. Peace out.
PS: Please don't go after Pennsylvania as well. Thanks.
@@andreivanpopa E.g. Várad (later: Nagyvárad): from Her Hungarian name came Her latin name Varadinum (and not "Oradeanum") in the medieval ages. Nagyvárad had 95% Hungarian population for 100 yrs ago (nowadays 25%). A great proof of "humanity" and "kindness" you treat minorities in your high-civilized cultured country.
And according to the 389 litigations (proceedings) having been recorded in the _Regestrum Varadiense_ not a single "dacorumanian" lived in Bihar county in the 13th century.
Still you are taught in your biased, one-sided, chauvinistic educational system that Bihar (now under vlachian occupation: "Bihor") is one of the most important cradles of "dacorumanians" where "they" were always in an "overwhelming majority.
In 1919 you were very brave against unarmed Hungarian civilians after having been disarmed our soldiers and demilitarized our country by our stupid pacifist government. So, it was not a big business to enter our Budapest - an African tribe could have done it -, but where were you 1914-1918, big boy 😀?
You started to infiltrate into our Erdély from the Balkhan with your sheep in the 13th century only 🇭🇺✌🏻...
@@andreivanpopa _You were Austria's puppies_
And you were the puppies of Cumans, Petschenegs, Tatars, Hungarians, Polish, Otthomans, Russians, Austrians etc. 🇭🇺✌🏻...

_Everything built by Saxons but stolen from Mongol Hungary_
How could have those "mongols" stolen anything from anybody in their own country? Are you kidding me 🙃?
Btw. in 1648 those "mongols" gave you the whole New Testament in your vlachian language printed by the "mongolian" Rákóczi György I, Hungarian duke of our Erdély in Gyulafehérvár😂🇭🇺✌🏻...
Romania is definitely underrated! My girlfriend and I went there without having an idea what expect- and absolutely loved in. Unlike you guys, we are massive horror fans (and fans of all things spooky 👻)- so being in Transylvania in general was just a special moment.
Looking forward to more Romania content. 🇷🇴 🍻
Romania underrated because Romanian like pickpocketing 👎
@@thiwankashan2035 Pickpockets exists literally all over the world. Not even remotely exclusive to Romania.
@@thiwankashan2035 You are just a poor ignoramus
@@thiwankashan2035 Those are mostly Roma ethnic people who came in 1300 AD from northern India. :) Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia and Turkey have the most Roma people. But even Roma people are integrating well in society these days. Roma people were slaves until 1900, so it's understandable their slow integration in the same society that used them as slaves.

Loved loved loved Romania. We were in Brasov for only one afternoon and one night.it rained. We left the next day. We stopped the bus at the main square for someone to pick something up and it was sunny and so pretty. It broke my heart we had to leave.
We all love Brasov (Kronstadt) and hopefully the airport will be opened next year in summer 2023. Bureaucracy is still bad in Romania and that's why it got so many delays. So the airport is going to be a game changer for Brasov ! I really think we should move the capital city from ugly Bukarest to Brasov.

Hello Sammy and Tommy! I am a Brazilian living in Romania and I LOVED your video about Romania.
You were able to really capture some beautiful places and Romania is FULL of them :)
One thing that happened to you and usually doesn't happen to me: even though I speak some Romanian, usually they don't think I am a local... so they probably think you look Romanian, besides having a good pronunciation?
Anyway, you are doing a greet job and I really enjoyed your content.
Keep it up!
👊
bämm .you so truth.greetings vom germany .solong
You are correct, she looks Romanian :)

''Eny Kristof''. Have you travelled to or lived in each every corner of the whole world? I really doubt about it. Romania is a beautiful place with its good and bad sides. So, please, stop exaggerating and lying to yourself. Good luck.

We went there on a driving trip quite a few years ago. Certainly just about my favorite country in Europe. I listened to Romanian tapes before we went, and people were thrilled when I could speak some of their language. Wonderful place!

actually, Vlad the Impaler (Tepes in Romanian) or The Impaling Lord are nicknames given by the Ottomans and Saxons. His real name was Vlad III Dracula (son of the dragon in Romanian). That's how he was known to his contemporaries and how he signed his documents, except for two letters to the Turks in which he signed Vlad III Drakulya. He was a direct descendent of the Basarab House, an old aristocratic family that ruled Wallachia from the 13th century onward.
Bram Stoker must have based the character on Vlad the Impaler because in the book, count Dracula says to Jonathan Harker something like, "the blood of the Impaler Lord, that Wallachian warrior, runs through my veins"
Oh thank you that's very interesting!
Povestea cu Dracula e o invenție și nu are legătură cu domnitorul Vlad Țepeș. El nu a domnit în Transilvania, ci în Țara Românească.
yeah the funny fact the actual king of UK is a descendant of the impaler ROFL =))))
Thank you for visiting our beautiful country 🎉
Brașov is our favourite destination in Romania as Romanians and our special little getaway. Loved the video and thanks for telling the world about this amazing city!

Stolen from Hungary😂🇭🇺✌🏻 ...
@@gaborszadai1992 It's called "recuperated" in English, not "stolen". Learn the language before commenting so that you don't use wrong terms by mistake.
@@RaduRadonys I do know what "stolen" means that is what I used it for 🇭🇺✌🏻...
@@gaborszadai1992 No, because you speak an Asian language you are confused with the English terms, it's "recuperated", you're welcome.
As romanian,i have to say that Romania is not underrated anymore for few years by now.Since Charley Ottley launched in 2011,the documentary Wild Carpathia,tourists got interested in Romania.Moreover he is living in Romania and he's married with a romanian woman. He is one of top promoters of Romania,and Prince Charles also is staying 3 months per year in Viscri village. Discover Romania and enjoy.

The city where I was born and where I lived for 33 years. I miss him...
Romanians were oppressed during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and that's due to the fact that Romanians were primarily orthodox, also Hungarians were scared that Romanians would take over, since the ancestors of Romanians were Dacians and were the primary residents of Transilvania so ethnic cleanse begun. Many were forced to change their names and many were forced out of their cities during their rule. Eventually, the Romanians managed to cease the cities and kick out the invading force. It's hard to find an ethnic group that wasn't oppressed by the Austro-Hungarians during their rule in central Europe. Slovaks and Serbs also were oppressed by them.
Transsylvania was depopulated many times over the centuries, the Dacians actually disappeared from Transsylvania, like most of the Gepids, Lombards, Huns, Avars, etc. The Romanians started to migrate to Transsylvania in the 13. century, basicly from Wallachia and South Balkan. After the Mongol invasion the Hungarian king started to settle down the wallachian nomadic shepards living in Transsylvania and invited Saxon Germans. Transsylvania was a rich multicultural territory, and those beautiful cities were mostly Hungarian and German cities, but because of the ottoman wars, the Habsburgs and the treaty of Trianon the Romanians became the majority.
@@paprikajanos607 that doesn’t even make any sense. The modern shepard that lives in Romanian country side today lived there for many many generations, they farm the land like their ancestors for hundreds and hundreds of years. You see, you just proven my point. That is Hungarian propaganda, your Orban’s been feeding you. In reality you are the true victim here as your knowledge has been altered for political benefit. Nobody but Hungary believes that theory. It’s time for Hungary to move on we live in 21st century and your argument has been outdated since 1945 since ww2
@@paprikajanos607 Hungarian bs.
@@paprikajanos607 wtf are you people reading over there?!
@@paprikajanos607 First of all, Romanians are de descendants of Dacians. Dacians never disappeared, they have been romanized by Romans after the Daco-Romans wars (101-102 and 105-106). Romanians do not migrate in Transylvania, and Romanians do not became the majority after Trianon, they been majority during Habsburg Empire, same as Slovaks for example, they had majority in their lands during Habsburg rule.
PS: Can you imagine how wrong you are!? In 1915 there was 7.9 milions Romanians living in Kingdom of Romania, today in Transyilvania are living about 5 milions of Romanians. In 1939 in Romania was living 19.9 milions of inhabitants including people from Bessarabia. There is no migration from Kingdom of Romania to Transylvania, Romanians are living there for centuries, with their traditions, generation to generation. Nobody from Moldova or another parts of Romania moved to Transylvania after 1918, people live in their comunities, the accent of the language in Transylvania is different form another parts of Romania. No migrations after 1918.
Please come again! Nice to have you🥰🥰🥰
Romania definetly have The witcher and Lord of the rings vibes 😍😍

First time I'm watching your travel vlog, and I'm really happy I did, your positive energy that you transmit and your natural way of been is very loveable to watch. 💕
You just earned another Romanian subscriber. Love your videos!
i'm from Bucharest, but Brasov is my favourite city :)
me too :)
Oh yessss
There is actually a important cave in the Bran area, Peștera Liliecilor (Bats' Cave) and you can find some rare bats species in it. So it wouldn't be weird to see bats flying in the area.
We love your excitement when you speak of Romania. We are moving to Bucharest in April 2024. Loved your Conor Farm episode. Which AirBnB did you stay in in Brasov? Oh, nice drone shots! ❤

Is my country is beautiful and perfect.. amazing and special.. you're visiting Iași lady & man.. Respect!! I bow.. my country is special
Nice video. Welcome în Romania
You must visit the real Dracula Castle too. Poenari Citadel , Arges Country, Wallachia, Muntenia region.
@@ztkzts855 you make me laugh;))) You need an update. Really:) Also, you know that Dracula was Walachia's king, right? :)
@@ztkzts855 all historical regions are beautiful. really.
Hello nice videos on the great place to share the world !
Nice 😮
they were thinking you are romanian because you are beautiful, like all the womans we have here :D
Glad Sammy and Tommy remember bears On Transfăgărășan!!
That is a very special day we will never forget 💜 So many special memories from Romania!
God every video that i see about my country and Medieval Castles makes me feel in love again with my country i always said that i was born so early i just love and want so much to be able to go back in time and see those beautifull castles in their prime state ;3 good video love from Romania Brasov City !
hello 👋 can I ask you for help? I want to visit Brasov, but i have just arrived in Romania and know nothing.. can you help me to learn a little bit more? ❤️
@@alivelis4179 sure dude just tell me what u want to know and i will do my best to help u
Come to Sibiu too, please!! 💞
Imagine we were fighting otoman empire within those castles, we also had to fight hungarians, then at one point even against Russian Empire, we had Bessarabia as part of Romania, and we have even a fortress in Odessa, but nowadays it is part of Ukraine. Romania is very rich in history and a country which born under many enemies invading us and making us to pay money to strong imperialist countries. We kind of succed to get independence within always having an ally to fight enemies, so we kind of rotate enemies and allies as well, to kind of make up to surface between 3 imperialist and strong nations which were fighting constantly to conquer those lands.
Romania is turning beautiful every year, is doing more and more stuffs and restores old buildings and schools/highschools, we have a lot of communist builded cities and we kind of need to change that ugly constructions, some cities really look majestic and medieval, but some really mess up within communist style and old style arhitecture.
I hate when tourists say they have visited Romania, but in fact they have been to Transylvania and Brasov. Romania is more than these two areas, don't forget Moldova, don't forget Bucovina, don't forget the Danube Delta, don't forget Oltenia and Maramures. If you want to visit Romania, visit all these areas, not just Transylvania 😉 and then you will truly appreciate it
Park your stupid hate! Data viitoare o sa viziteze si alte zone .. undeva trebuie sa aterizeze si ei, nu?
Bravoo! Felicitari! (Un vampir din Brasov)
Thank you guy's, I just want to be home, Transilvania is my home
You look wonderful in every video. Almost as if it was a necessity to watch these videos just because of you.
Gorgeous !! Thanks ...
BRAȘOV THE BEST CITY OF ROMANIA !!! ♥️💛💙
❤❤ Take it hope i will see the Romania in future.
Brasov is my hometown, lived there till 22 yo... but unfortunately it is almost 5 years I don't go there. I am very glad that you enjoyed the city. Watching your video transported me 20 years back in time. Thank you guys and see you back in Brasov!!
Romania❤️
You guys should go next to Timisoara and stop by Hunedoara.
Very beautiful village ❤❤
Brașov cel mai frumos oraș !!! ❤❤❤

yes, Romania has its own architecture style, called Neo-Romanian style (which is basically the Brancovenesc style)
Few years ago, there was no graffiti in the Strada Sforii. It was beatiful :(
10 km away there is an even bigger castle on a rock. Râșnov castle
This is my home town 💓
We have a lot of dishes and vegetarian, as Romanians kind of religious and adapt different foods to the days you would suppouse to fast from sweet stuffs and meat.
Zacusca is something also very good for a vegatarian, consumed usually on bread as a snack. We also have vegetarian sarmale, Romanian dishes are quit good, vegetables are quit cheap in Romania, but we kind of have a balance from religious point, into our body.
For us milk products are something we grow up with, some old generations use to even get from their parents fresh milk from the cows/ domestical buffalo, so milk and cheese products for us is happiness in our brain, because of childhood.
nettles/ spinach dishes, pies with cabage, and lot's of pickled vegetables ;)) + red/yellow melon is quit common during summer, as a lot of fruits and mushrooms naturally growing forests, and lot's of fruits into wildness, but most of them we don't really consume or know their benefits ;))
Well, and I thought Hollywood Los Angelos was the only city to have signs like that on a hill.
🤦🏻 🙂
Why are you explaining so much about what you eat? It' your choice, your business! Eat meat, eat veggies, eat whatever you want! It is nice to see foreigners impressed by România. You must go mountains hiking! You'll love it!
10:04 !!!!!

When I visited Romania almost every Romanian knew Spanish
😮🎉🎉
Hi it is super nice, I live there:)
Romania is so clean!
Look at Paris or New York 😂😂
The next time you come to Brasov, we invite you as a special guest on Republicii street 56 at Street Cafe, challenge us and try our food and hospitality :)
Romania is undoubtfully underrated by the Europeans. And I sure hope it stays like this, for at least about 6 more months, until I can dismiss forever any Western European country I've been living in, and return for good to my homeland. Brașov is top preference.
😍😘
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Yes, I agree. Romanian people are so welcoming. I went there a year after the wall fell. They were just pulling out from a dictator and were struggling, yet they were the most generous people. Also, You do you, whether you eat meat or do not eat meat. Enjoy yourselves either way! Forget the naysayers.
