About Us
We’re Emre and Maia. Our videos feature local, authentic, and immersive experiences in Europe. We love to engage with local people and stay longer in our destinations, while we spend a few gap years being curious about everything! We’re passionate about travel and food and have been to 44 countries between us in our international careers! Longing for simplicity and freedom, we put our remaining possessions in storage, and set out with a suitcase and carry-on each. We love slow travel because its a mindset that works whether you have a few days or a whole year!
We like to keep it real. We did not receive, nor do we ask for compensation or barter from any of the enterprises mentioned in this video.

Yes, please! We love seeing videos of specific neighborhoods that are more residential than tourist areas. Particularly inside shops as most videos focus on eateries instead of retail. I'd also like to see rental options for those of us not yet ready to buy an apartment.
Thank you so much for watching and your feedback, we appreciate it!
Yes! More neighborhoods please!! This video is wonderful. Seems like most videos of Nice on YouTubie keep showing us the same thing over and over again: Promenade des Anglais, Vieux Nice, the Marché Aux Fleurs and such. Finally you 2 came along and are going to show us the real Nice where the locals live and shop. Beyond the tourist areas. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching and your encouragement!
Yours are the best videos of Nice. We've been several times since 2000 and thought we'd covered most of it.....until you both came along. Thank you for sharing these less obvious places to experience. Keep em coming for as long as you can 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and your encouragement. We appreciate you!
Great videos like the intermix of neighbourhoods and property sales.
Thank you for your encouragement and for watching!
Very enjoyable & informative.
More, please….😊😊
Thank you for being such a loyal viewer, we appreciate you!
YES! Would love to learn more about Nice's different neighborhoods to live in. I've been there twice, but have more of a tourist's impression of the city's major areas.
Will do!! Thank you for watching!
Yes please continue showing all the neighborhoods in Nice. I am moving there in October...
We can be neighbors ❤
How lucky you already have plans to move there! Thank you for watching!
@@PascalDupont-ft7hd ❤️
Enjoyed your tour very much❣️ If you would please also do some Rentals and their prices, maybe more about the lifestyle and available transportation, that would be very helpful and wonderful. Merci 🙏🏼
Thank you for watching and for your helpful suggestions!
More neighborhoods, pls. 👍
Thank you for watching, will do!
I purchased lots of buttons in La Droguerie as useful, long lasting souvenirs to use in my sewing and crocheting projects!
That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing, we love stories about finding local souvenirs!
First- it was such a pleasure meeting you on the street in Beaulieu sur Mer in February! Definitely serendipitous and such a treat for us! Ironically, as we watched this video of Nice, you were right below our apartment in the Carabacel (we stayed just above the Librarie Massena). Crazy! Anyway, thank you so much for this video - we are moving to Nice in February and are really trying to narrow down where we want to be. We'll be in Beaulieu for a month in Sept/Oct but will also be looking in Nice - we'd love to see more neighborhoods - especially apartment inside Cimiez/Rimier as well as the Musicien and Liberation areas as well. Thank you so much for what you do - we really appreciate you! Hope to see you again - Christy and Naser
Congratulations on your decision to move! There are so many wonderful neighborhoods to choose from -- its all about finding the one that best suits your lifestyle. We've talked to at least thirty people who live in different areas and all of them love their neighborhoods the best.😀
Thank you for your “introductions”! Very timely indeed, as we retirees plan to move to Nice this Summer? Fall? We visit in May, so happy to discover the various neighborhoods suitable for expats.😊 We would be particularly interested to learn the cost ( even ball park?) of the apartments that you show - will you only show sales or will you demonstrate rental apartments as well? Very appreciative to all the exposure! Merci !
Thank you so much for watching and your suggestions. The missing sales price for the first apartment was 629K Euros.
Sooooooo excited to see all your house hunting videos - Love that you’re doing this. We are thinking of relocating there and this is so helpful! Thank you. : )
Thank you for your encouragement. How exciting about your possible relocation!
Love it! I would love to see more videos from Nice, France!!
Thank you for watching, we'll work on more!
I love seeing the different neighbourhoods in Nice. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm curious to know how you think Carabacel compares to the Port Lympia/Mont Boron/Parc Vigier area that you stayed in and made a video about a few years back. Also curious to know if you're thinking of buying in Nice or simply visiting properties for the sake of this channel. Wishing you both the best! I very much enjoy following your adventures.
Thank you for watching and your encouragement! The Carabacel is closer to the center of Nice, so in that way it can be considered more convenient. We love the Port Lympia and Park Vigier area, for quick access to coastal walks and Villefranche + Beaulieu, however other people tell us its too far of a walk into the center of Nice or to the tram stop for them. Mont Boron has drop-dead gorgeous views and access to nature, but depending how high up you live on Mont Boron it begins to feel remote from your grocery store, bus stop, and every day living.
Good video thx !!
Maya, will you do a video on how to tie your beautiful scarves? They're so elegant!!
You are so sweet - good idea! Until then, take a one meter square-shaped scarf and fold into a triangle with the finest side of the scarf on the outside of both halves. Hold the triangle in front of your neck, point down. Cross the ends around the back of your neck and pull the two ends to the front of your neck. Tie a plain knot. All done! For years I insisted on silk, but I find that Bimba and Lola, a Spanish company that ships in Europe, makes the perfect size and weight scarves in polyester, which are affordable and machine washable, perfect for a slow traveler with my whole wardrobe in one suitcase. And they have fun colors and patterns that make you feel better when you’re wearing the same clothes all the time!
We love love Nice and have been so many times from the UK. We are thinking of buying a property in Nice to live in for 6 months of the year, so it would be lovely to see other neighbourhoods. By the way, I knit a lot and regularly visit La Droguerie, it is the best!
Thank you for watching, how lovely that you might be buying a place in Nice! And cool that you can knit!!!
Yes! Musiciens next. Also would be nice to se rental options. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and for your suggestions!
Great video!

Terrific video! We stayed in a renovated apartment in the Carré d'Or back in 2019. My wife and I love Nice. So yes, please make more!

Will do! Thank you so much for watching and the encouragement!
Yes, please...more neighborhoods in Nice. Loved this video, especially with adding a couple of apartments. Thank you so much. Helping me prepare for our trip in September.
More to come, then! Have a great trip in September! Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for sharing this gem in Nice. We haven't yet explored it, but ypu have given us so many reasons yo go back and stay in a new area. We have watched all of ypur videos and really enjoyed them and found excellent travel tips. Please keep exploring more areas in Nice and showing properties plus artistinal cafes, shops and places of interest. It's exactly what we look for when we travel.
Thank you for watching so many of our videos and for the encouragement, we appreciate you!
Thank you. Please keep the videos coming. Au Revior.
Will do! Thank you for watching!
Love learning about the neighborhoods! Can you share the price of the first apartment?
Thank you for watching and your encouragement. Oops, the price was 629K Euros.
Liked it. Please do parc impérial too
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion of another neighborhood to explore!
Anything & everywhere you2 go… is a cultural adventure .. perfect travelers.. so chic and aware & nice backround music… bravo
Thank you for watching our videos and for all the encouragement, we appreciate you!
Yes please. Le Port and Nice Riquier area please if possible. Many thanks.
Thank you for watching and for the tips on neighborhoods!
Loved seeing your video on Carabacel. We just returned from Nice three days ago. Yes....please add more neighborhoods around Nice. As someone mentioned, all the videos about Nice have the same topics. It was wonderful to see such different topics as well as apartments around that area. Your videos on eateries are great, but fun to see stores and shops etc. Keep doing the neighborhoods. Musiciens could be next?
Wow. How nice that you were just in Nice! Thank you for the neighborhood suggestion!
We also love those videos of specific neighborhoods catering to the residential side of things. Please share more rental options too.
Thank you for watching and we appreciate the suggestions!
Really enjoyed learning about the Carabacel neighborhood. Would love to see more (perhaps Liberation or The Port).
Thank you for watching and the tips, we'll try to make those part of the series!
😅 OPTICIENS ! 💙 Have You Noticed the number of optician shops in NICE? 😊 I have no theory about WHY but I invite you to look. 👀
Now that you point it out, YES, so many!
Thank you so much for your Nice videos especially. Have y’all decided to make Nice area your home base? Looking forward to your continued breakdown of Nice neighborhoods, especially the non-touristy ones. Bon Voyage!
Thank you for watching! We'll be posting more on Nice and doing travel vlogs from other places in Europe as we continue our full time travel. All the best!
Staying in the Carabacel (I had no idea that's what the area was called) for 3 months this Summer so this was really great to watch! Slightly concerned that I'm staying close to the construction work you showed but I hope I'll be just far enough away. Glad to hear it's not overly touristy there, I'd like to see the real Nice while I'm there. Thanks so much!
Thank you for watching and have a great trip this summer!
🎉ENTREPRENEURIAT is the French word for "ENTREPRENEURSHIP"... and it's Everywhere in NICE 💙. I'm a lifelong Business -Starter and I love seeing the enthusiasm of our young Nice friends. Obviously FOOD is the industry and the creativity is so synthetic to the enormous Diversity of NICE 🎉
Creativity and enthusiasm is so inspiring, love that about Nice!
I love the new content coverage. Yes. Please show other Nice neighbors and what about Cannes…
Thank you for your encouragement!
Nice work M & E! Nice touch showing neighborhood livability. Househunters Intl doesn’t really do that.
Thank you so much for the encouragement and for being such loyal viewers!
More neighborhood videos please.
Will do! Thank you for watching!
yes, more Nice, and outlying areas?
Thank you for watching and your encouragement!
I like the music in your video. Was the price for the apartment for rent or to buy? I assume from the look of that area it's high end living.
Thank you for watching! The missing sales price is 629 thousand euros.
Such a personable couple. Oui, please, more such videos. Merci for listing the pluses for Carabacel but should I interpret omission to suggest that Cimiez is all minuses?
There are so many wonderful neighborhoods to choose from -- its all about finding the one that best suits your lifestyle. Cimiez has many positives, especially in lower Cimiez which is still pretty walkable to the city. We've talked to at least thirty people who live in different areas and all of them love their neighborhoods the best.
@@happygoluckytravelThank you. I'm glad to learn about the cholesterol pills. Working post-retirement to save a bit more before visiting the Cote D'Azur. Have fun!
Thank you for watching!
one personal preference would be to have uploads in 2K (1440p) as well just for the extra clarity 👍
Thanks for the tip, we'll look into it.
What type of device do you watch on?
@@happygoluckytravel Laptop or 27inch desktop screen, which is probably why I like the higher resolutions 😃
Would you introduce the studio (house) in the video? I'm planning to visit nice and French Riviera and the house looks so good. It would be great thanks if you let me know the info (is that airbnb?).
Thank you for watching and enjoy your trip to the Riviera! The apartments filmed were listed for sale, so are not for rent.
Retire ? More chance of me being struck by lightning before the age of 33 !
Love that i found you. Can you say the price for the apartment? Thanks!
Thank you for watching! The missing price for the first apartment is 629K Euros.
☘🥃
Did I miss the price of the first apartment? Do you know what the asking price is?
Oops, that wasn't meant to be missing -- 629K Euros. Thank you for watching!
NIZZA
