@@paulboston992 Thanks 🙂! Have a great trip! Yes, it has snowed already!! Must look beautiful. (I'm hoping to visit there again soon, too).

@@Buszkraftowski oczywiście! Uwielbiam Karkonosze ♥️🙂

@@vitycz no, actually, as a Pole, I firmly believe we’re in the centre of Europe, but ‘Eastern Europe’ still rolls of my tongue sometimes. I’ve spent too long in the ‘West’, I suppose. 🤦‍♂️

@@markh5679 haha, true, but, to be honest, strangely it felt really refreshing and absolutely manageable on days when the waves were quite big. ... It definitely felt much colder on beaches with no waves at all. Then the frigid water gets to you much more 🥶!

No, I didn't get to do that! But I've just looked it up. Looks good! Quite a fascinating place. Thanks for the recommendation! 😊

Ahhh THANKS! Adders do have a zigzag on top of them though, don't they? I'm sure I did see at least one like that. Snakes are just fascinating!

@@somewhere_crowdless There are several non- venomous snakes with similar patters to adders. A general rule: adders and vipers are chunkier, they never run but move away slowly and with dignity, occasionally they sound a warning hiss (adders especially), but you should be extremely lucky to encounter an adder in populated environment ad they are becoming very scarce.

@@petermrak5660 Thanks for this! Very informative. You seem very experienced in this area.

@@0Cico0 well, not exactly...The purpose of the jingling is NOT to surprise the bear. Suprise usually happens when you're quiet, especially when hiking on your own without having anyone to talk to and make noise with. ...Of course, catching bears off guard can be rather dangerous.

@@somewhere_crowdless That is what i said, prevent the situation that he will be surprised 🐻

@@0Cico0 ha! Sorry, my bad! I misunderstood! 🙈

@@bluebluesky3170 The performance is called "Grief Floats" by 'Company of Others'. It'll surely return next August too. Yes, it is a beautiful performance featuring very talented dancers from the Northeast as well as London. 🙂

Dzięki wielkie🙏🏼♥️🫶⛰️🥾🩵

@@jcraigshambaugh5417 I have cycled in PL but on a smaller scale than in Slovenia (shorter sections in Tatra mountain valleys). I would love to cycle in CZ Krkonoše mountains. These mountains are quite flat and there are miles and miles of paved cycle routes (unlike on the Polish side of the Krkonoše mountains, which is steeper and more suitable for hikers). English is widely spoken, especially among the younger generation. You shouldn't really have a problem with that. Additionally, German language is quite common in CZ. However, the older generation (50+) speaks less English (especially in the less urban areas).

@@jcraigshambaugh5417 Thanks for watching. The best treatment I received was actually in one of the mountain huts when I was hiking. It was "Koča na Planini Viševnik". I was the only person around at that time (despite it being early July) and the staff at the Koča were literally begging me to stay and have some food. Haha. I don't eat meat and there was nothing meatfree on the menu, so the lady cooked a separate vegetarian meal just for me. She was extremely kind. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome. So for me, it was one extreme to the other haha! But I loved it overall, of course, and I'll return there as soon as I can. Thank you for the recommendations. Yes - I definitely wanna see the Kranjska Gora & Bovec areas. I would also like to hike in the Kamnik-Savinja mountains.

Ahhh that's very interesting! Thank you for clarifying! Now that you've said it, it does make sense...especially when I was sat waiting in one of the cafés (rather than restaurants). There seemed to be a few locals who were just sitting there and not really consuming anything. Maybe they were just resting!

I agree. This is friendly of the waiters/establishments, who - unlike in Italy or other places (my experiences in Austria come to mind) - mostly won't aggressively push you to order and kick you out if you don't.

This is the truth, and we locals are grateful 😍 for this kindness of the waiters. This kind of thing doesn't happen in Ljubljana.😉

@@malazala Hi, thanks for watching. I loved Slovenia, and so I really appreciate your recommendation! I'll definitely return and visit Prekmurje. I would also like to hike in the Karavanke and Kamnik-Savinja mountain ranges. They all look stunning (and hopefully not too busy with tourists). Slovenia is now firmly placed in my future travel plans! Lovely people too! Yes, true, perhaps my experience in restaurants was just a coincidence / bad luck, ha!

@@ervinslens THANKS, I appreciate it🙏🏻!! Yes it is! I literally cannot wait to return there and do more hikes!! 😀

Thanks for watching😊🙏🏼

Thank you! 😊🙏🏼

Yeah, they were at it for a good while before finally jumping at each other's throats. 🙀

Thanks for watching! Yes, what an amazing place! We were so lucky to have been able to visit there. And yeah, we'd love to see the other islands in the archipelago too! It's such a hiker's paradise! And the people are super friendly. We'll definitely be back!! Hope you get to visit there too.

You're very familiar with the area! Are you from there? We really appreciate all the details you've provided. We did have the best fish in Sesimbra. Setubal impressed us too! We'd love to see the other places you mentioned too as we love the less known spots and little gems like that! Many thanks 🙂

@@somewhere_crowdless i born in Lisbon but i bought house in Caparica in 2000. U have such a beautiful quiet and breath taking places in Portugal so diferent. My family are from the mountains and i love it. Love tradicional places, historical villages and amazing viewpoints. And good food and wine and clean air. And Portugal have lots of it.

@@gtagide wow... lucky you! My brother has lived in Almada (and has previously lived in Lisbon) for quite a few years now, so Portugal is always on the list of places I want to explore more. It's definitely one of my favourite countries. It's just a pity that so much of the local population suffer due to high rents and lack of affordable housing in the Lisbon area. I hope the benefits of the increased tourist activity will eventually benefit the regular Portuguese citizen!

@@somewhere_crowdless the tourism bang in Portugal gave us more profict and employes, but with our lower salaries the rise of cost of living, specially the rents of houses are unberable for most of us that hern 800 euros month, and have to pay in Almada rents betwen 1200 to 1500 euros month. Imagine in Lisbon, Porto or Algarve . Like in every country the rich are more rich, and the poor more poor. Always the sames get profits...

​@@gtagide I know, it's totally unsustainable! The cost of living is spiralling out of control, and the tourism boom doesn't seem to help much to offset those extra expenses. If only the salaries could go up!

Hi there! Thanks for watching! Yeah, it was a fantastic trip. And we sure did end up in the water. It was just too tempting. I have to say it was nice. Definitely not frigid, haha! I'd say it was warmer than the water you get in Portugal even in the height of the summer/autumn. This video shows one of the beaches we swam off last spring: ua-cam.com/video/WFzkVQYIRYg/v-deo.htmlsi=eFvD128L8q27yH1j

Yeah, the water is quite cold, but funnily enough when the ocean is full of waves, it actually feels quite optimal. However, on days when the water is still, that's when it hits you just how cold the water is. It's still a great place to relax. The other smaller coves and beaches were just too crowded for our liking :) 😬🫣

Awww thank you for tuning in again 💙❤💕

Interested for the floow up re: the poverty over there - heard about it in Spain plenty!

@@sashavjs ooh yes we have some interesting footage ...just not enough time to put it all together 😩😩😩. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘

🥰💙🌊

Hiya, thanks for watching. It's Insta360 x3 and also my iPhone 11 Pro Max. 🙂

Hi there, you can follow us on Instagram: <pookie_pato> and message us on there if you want some tips or have some questions. 😀

Haha, thanks! 🙏. I hope you're not saying this cos we've put you to sleep!! 😬

@@somewhere_crowdless no i patiently completed this video xx

@@branislavbosak that's really cool, thanks! 🙏 🙂

It is beautiful indeed 😀😍! Thank YOU for watching ☺️☺️! We are back in Portugal this week; this time the mainland: Lisbon / Almada. We're hoping to film in locations which offer a nice alternative to the well-known 'mass tourism' spots. Tune in again sometime soon 🙃🙏!

Totally agree with you! And wow, your list looks impressive!! 😯! The length of the Andes and the Dolomites are definitely on our list, but yeah, the High Tatras are just special! Tatry Zapadne & Belianske, too! It's just such a beautiful ecosystem right in the centre of Europe. It's hard to put into a category or even make comparisons. The Tatras are in a category of their own! Funnily enough, I'm not that drawn to the Himalayas. I'd rather explore the hiking trails of Spain, Romania and Croatia first. However, we'll always be returning to the Tatras, and the Slovakian part is one we have yet to explore more. I'm jealous you're from there! All the best!

​@@somewhere_crowdlessThanks. If I may recommend another place it would be Slovenian (not Slovakian) Triglav national park in the Julian Alps. If you're heading to Croatia, Slovenia is just across the border and it might be worth a small detour.

@@baze3SC Excellent!! Thanks for the recommendation! Much appreciated 🙂

Hi, thanks for watching! Yeah, well, there are groups you can find on Instagram. One such group is led by a Tatra Mountain guide, Maja. She is based in Zakopane, and she frequently organises and leads hiking trips in the Tatras (although they're not free of charge). You could try contacting her: instagram.com/maja_przewodnik?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Alternatively, you could also ask via this Instagram account: instagram.com/aktualne_warunki_tatry?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Best wishes!! Poznań is a lovely city!

Hi, this is another company which organises tours and group trips in the Tatras: instagram.com/portaltatrzanski?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Thanks! Good to know! I'll look into it 🙂

Thanks! Much appreciated! Yes - you absolutely have to check them out. Are you based in Schwarzwald? If you can, go in September or early to mid June. The summer holidays get busy there. It's much more exciting to be out there without the crowds. All the best!

silly, but not uncommon, ha! 😂😂😂
