Thanks so much for watching our videos guys ❤ We really don't take it for granted that you take the time to support our little channel. We are so grateful for all of you! Hope you enjoyed today's video! It's always good as an adult to feel like a kid from time to time! :)
Ohhh lucky!!! Romania is incredibleeeee!!! 🇷🇴 Try all the foods for us!!! 😍 And yes, add Salina Turda to your list! It's such a fun and one of a kind place ❤️
I'm sure it is. I'm a table tennis lover and what you two have together it's wholesome and magical, both in the same time. Hope you'll always feel this way about table tennis. Wish you two only the best !
@@SNoway18923 oh that's awesome! Table tennis is so so fun! We're both tennis players, so I think we naturally love ping pong because of that! We hope to have a table in our house one day so we can solve all of our problems playing hahaha take care :) thanks for the kind words!!! ❤
Keep up the good work! I'm an romanian,and ofc i want you guys to come back and discover more of our beautiful country!I love your videos about Romania,i hope to meet you in Constanta next summer if you would come again! Thank you again for promoting our country ,the landscapes,the lovely peoples,and i hope to see you soon again with ROMANIA vlogs!
Hi! Thanks so much ❤️ We really love your country so so sooooo much!!!! And we still have a lot to see. Not sure when we will be back, but I hope it's not too long from now. We want more of Romania 🇷🇴 and we already miss all the foods so much!!!!! 😭 My (Aimara) sister's neighbor is a Romanian angel and she offered to make sarmale for us when we visit Chicago in a couple of weeks. I'm counting the days to have my favorite dish and to say 'salut' and 'mulțumesc' again 🥹❤️ Thanks for being here and for supporting our channel!!! 🙏🏼
Hi! Thank you! Your country is AMAZING!!! And we did visit Brasov! And we ate as much food as we possibly could 😂 we made a video about it too. It's in our channel ;)
Just want to give some advice as I love your videos and I'd hate to see you gone and I have some experience with the YT algorithm. If you only make 3-4 videos in one country and then move to the next, YT will have little info about those videos, and by the time the algorithm figures things out, you will be then moving to another country, and the audience for that previous country will not match with the new audience, so new videos might get bad signals, and the algorithm will then stop pushing your videos. Don't make 3 videos in one country and move on. Every channel I see doing that is failing. So what I'm saying is basically try and make at least 10 videos per each country so that the algorithm has enough time to push those videos to the right audience, and then when you travel to another country, you would have enough data in the algorithm and return followers so the impact will be much less. Also, try and make the videos a bit longer, somewhere around the 20-min mark. Besides the touristic attractions, try to react to different traditional foods, for example, because your main audience will be people from that country. So if I live in Romania, I care less about the monuments or history because I already know all of that. What I'm trying to see is your reaction to my country's favorite foods and drinks, for example. I don't say to cut monuments and history altogether. Don't get me wrong. Just that your main focus should be on reacting to different things, foods, drinks, places, etc. Try and rank them. Taste 7 Romanian foods, for example, and rank them, 7 deserts, etc. Show the places you stay in. What's the wifi like in each place? What are the prices in Romanian supermarkets? etc. You get the point. And last but not least, don't give up. When the channel will pick up, it's like a snowball effect. It won't be linear, like, "This year we made 4k subs. That means next year we'll have just 8k subs." When it picks up, it picks up like crazy. Look at JetLag Warriors. They had very few subs last year when they visited Romania. Now they came back and they had 190k subs, but they made lots of vlogs from Romania. They rented a car and made videos for about 3 months. The Romanian viewers connected with them because they posted so many related videos from here, and when they moved to another country, most of the people stayed with them. Oh, and do also one football game per country. Even if you don't like sports or don't know about football or soccer in general, just visit and film the atmosphere. When Jetlag did that, their views exploded. People want to see what you think about their team, the atmosphere on the stadium, how it compares to the atmosphere of other teams in other countries, etc. Again, look at the Jetlag channel, and you'll get many inspirations from there. Don't forget. When a channel is small, there aren't many return viewers. So your main bulk of viewers will be viewers from that very country you are visiting. So the focus here is not to present something from Romania to someone from the USA, for example. But the question is, what can you show a Romanian about the place you're visiting? And because we already know about our own country, focus more on reacting to the new place your visiting, the people, the traditions, etc. Again, don't give up! Hope I didn't bore you. :)
Ok first of all... you're an angel! Thanks so much for taking the time to send us this advice. WOW! Thank you 🥹❤️ All of this are things we're just starting to realize. Since the beginning of our travels we have focused on slow travel, and we do make a lot of videos about the countries we visit. Right now we are aiming to make from 10-12 videos per country. It's crazy to read this because for us, we have done the opposite of this basically... we've been making videos for our audience... or at least that's what we thought. That's why we shared more about the touristy things, because in our heads, it was always like, what does someone in the US, Canada, UK, AUS (etc) would like to see if they're visiting a country for the first time? This is a balance that we hope to get better at next year (we're done with international travel for 2022, we're back home right now). We do want to see touristy and famous things of course because it's our first time in the country, but we also need to be better at finding the interesting stories, trying and ranking all the foods as you suggested, and little things like that to connect with the people from the country we're visiting. We never thought people from each country would like to watch videos of their own country you know? Like it happened with our Turkey videos, but then it didn't happen in Mexico, so we were like ok, what happened in Turkey won't happen again... and it happened with our Albania videos and now with Romania has been really crazy to see how many people have been supporting our channel. We hope they stick around after we're done sharing Romania videos 🙏🏼❤️ Anyways... thanks so much again! We promise we are hanging in there, working super hard to get better and find more interesting things to share besides for the obvious ones. Right now I (Aimara) have about 22 videos to edit LOL, 6 of them are from Romania... I'm going to be very sad when we're done sharing those videos 💔 Anyways... thanks for being here ❤️
I am happy, I saw a man who admits that he is afraid of heights. like me! Every time I've been to the Turda salt mine...I've been stuck to the walls:))) (your videos are a bit skimpy, a little more detail wouldn't hurt) As a couple you have something special and full of life. Ohhh, and don't forget, it's becoming a tradition for everyone who comes to the salt pan for the first time to lick the walls:)))
hahaha we saw so many people walking like that 🙈 thanks so much for the kind words! ❤And I'm sure we licked where someone else has already done it... we licked quite a few walls... but only one shot made it to the video ;)
Fun fact, during the Roman times there was a Batavian (Dutch) cavalry stationed there, protecting the Salt transport to the Mures river, from where was loaded and carried to mid Danube and Rome. Then for 3 centuries the Avars also exploited salt there, through the locals and then the Hungarians came. Obviously the communists, exploiting the salt for the people, was the better option, than the invaders, enslaving and exploiting the locals for centuries.
Turda is one of the most spectacular salt mines in the world. I'm happy you enjoyed the journey; I see you visited many places in my country, Romania, which means you enjoyed it. That's wonderful!
It is out of this world! It's cool to see what they did with it too. Such a fun place to see and enjoy :) We loved your country SO MUCH! And still need to go back to see more of it. We do miss the food & Romanians ❤️
@@waysoftheworld_ I'm afraid I'm not an ambassador of my country; otherwise, I will invite you and your lovely boyfriend to visit my whole country for my expenses. First, however, I'm impressed with the sweet publicity you make for my Romania.
Oh yes, we read that too! We even saw like a spa area they have for medical treatments! how cool that you guys can go often!! I hope you live a very long a healthy life :)
The cool part is that if you fall into the water in the salt mine lake, you don't go to the bottom because the salt water keeps you on the surface. And if you want to, you still can't sink because the water lifts you to the surface.
Hi...doing my bit to help with your analytics! Subscribed, liked your video and engaging with comment. Have enjoyed your videos. I usually stream videos from TH-cam to my television so can't subscribe, like or comment on that platform. Made an exception for you guys and went to my desktop! Cheers! :-)
Ahhh... the place gave me the heebie-jeebies!... And I was born not far from there!... 😅 And the boat ride!... 😨 no thanks!... But you two are great! Thanks for your videos!... keep up the great work!... 💖🌺❤
hahaha really!? 😂 we fell the whole time like we were in a movie set hahaha G had his fair share of struggles with the heights, but it was so fun! Thanks for being here and for the kind words! ❤️
Congratulations on your year (+2 months) travelling! I have no idea about how TH-cam and algorithms work but thought I would just offer my opinion on what I enjoy as a "from day 1 watcher"! Most Enjoy - local food & drinks plus prices - Interactions with locals - off the tourist trail destinations but in tourist areas - nightlife shots - "living like a local" I loved your turkey series the most (probably biased from my love of turkey) because there was alot of interaction with locals, lots of different food and a variety of coverage such as daytime activities and nightlif. But.. Your Macedonia series is somewhere I had no idea what it was like and you've made me with to go there! Least enjoy Long coverage of tourist destinations and sightseeing. (I love seeing different places to visit and knowing the history but not for too long a period. I like quick facts more i think). I hope this is abit of a help!? 😊
Hi Hannah, of course this is so helpful! Thanks so much for taking the time to send feedback, seriously!! We agree on so many things hahaha Interacting with locals is for sure our favorite and something we do everywhere, but our cameras are not always welcome and we really try to respect when people simply don't want to be on camera. This was so easy in Turkey because no one cared about the camera, but in Romania we got yelled at quite a few times for having the camera out 🙈 Food of course is something we love and we try to share prices as well. Funny that you mention nightlife in Turkey... I can already picture which video you're talking about 😂 And history is so tricky. We care about it but honestly is kind of boring to show on video hahaha we are still trying to manage how to share info here and there but quickly as you said :) Anyways, I think a lot of people think like you when it comes to videos (ourselves included). We are learning and hoping to get better over time of course and finding the right balance and how to translate our personal values into our videos as well. Right now we feel very happy about how well received our Romania travel series has been 🇷🇴❤️ Thanks so much for being here and for supporting our channel! We don't take it for granted! ❤️
Nice, another great video from Romania. You visited one of top 10 things to visit in Romania ! First viewer on the video, what an honor 😁 Happy anniversary !! PS .. still waiting your reply on Instagram 😊

Mă bucur că ați ales să vizitați comoara noastră din Turda 🥰❤️
It was such a cool experience! We're so happy we got to see such a unique place ❤️🇷🇴
Nothing like feeling like a kid again :) Thanks for the fun memories Romania. Turda is a pretty awesome place ❤
❤️❤️🇷🇴🇷🇴
We almost fell in that lake with our 4 year old son, car keys and everything. :)))) You brought nice memories. Congrats on your videos!
I'm visiting Romania at the end of January, and I need to add this to my to-do list!
Ohhh lucky!!! Romania is incredibleeeee!!! 🇷🇴 Try all the foods for us!!! 😍 And yes, add Salina Turda to your list! It's such a fun and one of a kind place ❤️
The last part where you are sitting at that bar is in my city, literally like 10 minutes away from me :D
Really!? we loved your city! We spent like 3 nights there catching up with work. We didn't make videos, but we enjoyed our time there :)
As a Romanian, I've never visited that place but once I saw the description I knew it's about the salt mine that's in my beautiful country. ☺️
We hope you get to visit! It's a really cool and unique place!! 🇷🇴❤️
I'm sure it is. I'm a table tennis lover and what you two have together it's wholesome and magical, both in the same time.

Thank you so much! we had so much fun in Turda 🥰
Turda was so much fun - it definitely exceeded my expectations!! so nice to feel like a kid again :)
So fun 🥰
The air inside is special, because of the salt, some of these places acting like sanatorium for people with lung/respiratory issues
Yes, we saw that area. We had no idea, that's so awesome. You have fun and it's good for you :)
i wonder how you can experience fear of heights when you're 400 feet underground!
hahahahaha I (Aimara) didn't think it was possible, but it was very real... I mean it was still high 😂 but underground... so weird!
I am happy, I saw a man who admits that he is afraid of heights.
like me!
Every time I've been to the Turda salt mine...I've been stuck to the walls:)))

Really!? We had a lot of fun :)
so you can resolve all at the ping-pong table :)
hahahaha yes! 😂 Our dream is to have one at home one day :)

I booked fight to Romina because of you
STOP IT! This makes us so happy! Romania is an amazing country. Have so much fun 🇷🇴❤️
Wow, I'm glad you visited this amazing place in my hometown Turda
