So glad I happened upon your channel. Not born in Maine (I'm a "Masshole" originally), but spent my IDYLLIC formative years (3rd-9th grade) on a 90-acre farm in southern Maine, so I was bitten by the Maine bug as a young boy forever. LOVE the eateries you discovered in Waldoboro, as Maine is loaded with a bunch of mom and pop eateries, aw well as some of the freshest, greatest-tasting local foods one could hope to find. Winters can be rough, but it's heaven on earth during warmer months. Waldoboro is now a must-visit on my list. :)
Thank you for your kind words and Waldoboro sure is lovely! I'm glad it's made your must-visit list.
Chris' face at 0:03. 😂😂😂 About the glamping thing...for my parents' honeymoon, they went to Chetek, WI to go crappie fishing. Hard to beat that eh???? Good thing for the captions because I thought he said "topless crawl in Seville."
The word "Tapas" always seems to cause some confusion.
Kapla was invented by a dutch person.
Well your Americans that says it all
Hi Sharon. We did like them. Canada is a lovely place.
Thanks for exploring our beautiful town and saying such kind things! We own Tavern on First and it was fun to seeing out of town guests experience what we have to offer. So happy to see you were able to experience all the foodie options LF has to offer, hope to see you again.
Thank you! Your food is delicious! We had a lovely time and look forward to returning.
Wait, what! There are places you have to make a reservation to visit a national park?
Most national parks in the USA. :(
Nicely done!
you two are very good bolwers. Better than average american. good job
Why thank you!
That bourbon chicken sandwich looks delicious 😋
It was!!!
So much fun!!! I think hubby and I are going bowling for his birthday on the 5th!!
Happy almost birthday to him! Have a grand time!
I have to say both - as each person had their own Flair!! Not to mention the scent of lei's - too bad we do not have smell- vision!!
Why thank you!
Most of these tips are spot on!!
You guys must visit Maui!!!! It’s amazing!
Perhaps someday!
“Sub tip” YES!!!!
Chris--I do the same thing with Folders for photos!!
Is there a way to save the info to Notes easily? Other than copy/paste? Thanks!!
Just ole copy and paste. I will also pin the note so it always stays towards the top of the notes in the notes app.
The first video I've seen that correctly says (allmost) which countries belong to Scandinavia (Scandinavian peninsula), Denmark is not part of Scandinavia except through history and culture, often, almost always it is said that Finland does not belong to Scandinavia, although in fact Finland belongs more to Scandinavia than Denmark because the northwestern part of Finland is part of the Scandinavian peninsula,so-called Finnish Maiden`s hand and slide of that maidens head is part of the Scandinavian peninsula,and Finland is also historically and culturally a part of Scandinavia, just like Denmark.
My Mom’s tip was to take half as many clothes that you think you need and twice as much money.
Id add not to just google maps, id use google earth and create projects to save all the POI ud like to see
We are extremely proud of you for moving aboard and sharing your journey. My husband and I lived aboard in El Puerto De Santa Maria, Spain, for 7 years. So, I definitely upstanding some of the experiences you spoke of while Iiving Bali! Sincerely, Dr.shirley Butler Derge
Thank you. There are certain joys living abroad, and certain difficulties.
Malls here have moved to the big airports
The must important Tip is; Respect local people, customs and traditions and don't rely on stereotypes!👍
I always carry written backup of reservation info in a mini notebook, the kind that are 3 in a pack at almost any dollar store. I always use a pencil so I can update it on the fly if needed. Handy if you don't have a SIM yet in the country you are visiting when you find yourself out of public WiFi range, the taxi driver speaks virtually no English and thus can't understand which hotel you are asking to be taken, which happened to us in both Lisbon and Porto.

49 reasons why I love living in Switzerland
It is a lovely place.
Here are a few more: 1. We are the kings of social distancing. Waiting for a bus or on public transport or in elevators etc we do not talk to strangers. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it's even considered weird. 2. We love to take cruises. Just on the Baltic Sea or to Tallinn or Stockholm. Usually to kick back and party but to also bring in tax free alcohol. 3. When on an escalator, if you're standing still, always ALWAYS stay on the right. This is so that those in a hurry can pass easier on your left. 4. We never wear shoes inside. Shows are always left in the front hall. This is for comfort and to easily keep places clean. 5. When greeting, if you say "How're you doing?", we might start telling you how it's going. Here greetings are simple like Moi or Hei. 6. We get really excited and it's covered by the papers to some measure if one of us makes it big in, say, international entertainment. When our singer/actor Samuli Edelmann had a supporting baddie role in Mission: Impossible 4, it made headlines. The Swedes are so used to theirs that I suppose they don't even care anymore. 7. We always feel like the underdogs when it comes to a neighborly relation to the Swedes. Be it hockey or Eurovision Song Contest or whatever, we always kinda go in thinking "Well they'll win anyway…". We love our neighbors to the West but that's how it is.
These are neat to hear.
Great video, but as a suggestion, I’d post the names of the areas you are visiting. I like to pause and write the new:s down. Thanks though!
Great suggestion! We do try to provide as much info as we can. If you're planning a trip to Portugal, you can fill this out and we can help you with very specific information. :) traveljoy.com/webforms/KQW7mmw8cbiM9oEVdFNjQAnf/forms/ZCd4vdv6xnRx7wjz4kBnWw8A/link

Hi Melissa ~. We are really enjoying your videos. Thanks for all the tips! I loved the bathing suit you wore when you went scuba diving. Do you mind sharing where you bought it? Thanks so much. Happy travels! Mary
Thank you! I don't mind at all. I ordered it from Lands' End. Here's a link to it: www.landsend.com/products/womens-mastectomy-chlorine-resistant-high-neck-swim-dress-one-piece-swimsuit/id_373186
@ Thank you!
have you tried a Beaver Taik yet
Not yet.
Your Travel Talk Tuesdays Show keeps betting better and better each week. Helsinki video the best so far from a technological and production point of view. I anticipate a year from now your weeks audience will be huge.😅😅
Thanks Gary. We appreciate your support. :)
"Rapsöl" in English is rapeseed oil or canola oil, depending on the context: Rapeseed oil refers to the oil extracted from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. This term is more commonly used in Europe. Canola oil is a specific type of rapeseed oil that is low in erucic acid, developed and marketed primarily in North America.
rapsöl = rapeseed oil or canola oil
rot = red = red baron
so correct! And it comes from a small brewery in the Emmental! Very proud to be a part of it!
DIE BAR = DEE BAR (spoken)
meaning just THE BAR
I love the Aesthetic, and the close walk to the beach is certainly a plus!! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful view, and of course the music is always fantastic!!
Thank you! That’s so nice to know on the music.
This is part of the North Shore Tour we went on during our recent vacation in Hawaii. For more details you can check out our full video or check out our blog post: chrisplusmelissa.com/4-reasons-to-add-this-north-shore-tour-to-your-hawaii-itinerary/
Oof. Wasn't the Dole company super problematic? Like, exploited the natives, helped overthrow the hawaiian kingdom, appropriated indigenous lands, etc?
We were just showing what the Dole plantation is like now, in 2025. What happened to the natives of Hawaii is crappy and it'd be nice if humans could evolve to respect other humans not like them.
I get that you weren't trying to make a statement. Respect.
I'm a Finn and I don't like Jim or Da Capo 😂 On the other hand, salted black liquorice (salmiakki) is the best!
Lol, we don't call them candy bars, we call them chocolate bars.
Yes it's a must visit if you're going to Niagara Falls.
Turtles are cute
What an amazing experience!! So glad you were able to go and see the beauty and magic of the turtles!!
I did this about 20 years ago before all the restrictions and I currently having PTSD remembering the walk down. The weather was nice that day and there wasn't as many people as there is these days. I loved it, but that walk down was hard especially when you came across people coming up against you
We definitely remember a few terrifying moments. I'm glad that you loved it despite the PTSD-inducing walk down. It's quite the experience.
