Hey! Thanks for stopping by :)
We are an international couple made up of two adventure-seeking, travel enthusiasts. Isanya was born in Zambia, tracing her roots back to the Netherlands, and I (Sam) come from the wild west coast of Canada. While both studying in Holland, we met and instantly connected over our shared passion for venturing out into the unknown.
Over the past two years, we have visited numerous countries together, diving deep into their stories. We started this channel to share our adventures and hopefully inspire others to go explore the world with the same genuine curiosity!
So follow us along as we document everything that this diverse world and a nomadic lifestyle have to offer!

Visiting Banff, Lake Louise, and Yoho National Park (Vlog Guide 2024)
In this video, we’ll be taking you with us to the Canadian Rockies to explore Yoho National Park, Banff, and the iconic Lake Louise (May 2023). Starting from Vancouver, we’ll cover over 2000 km on the road to get there, and we’ll make sure to let you in on some of the best things to do in this Canadian gem and how we managed to make it budget-friendly.
We embark on a three-night journey, spending the first night in a lovely little cabin in Golden, BC, overlooking the stunning Purcell Mountains. From there, we step out of our comfort zone and give ‘van life’ a try by sleeping in our makeshift camper.

Hi guys, welcome to our channel! This time, we’re taking you on a journey with us through the Canadian Rockies, exploring Yoho National Park, Banff, and the iconic Lake Louise. Starting from Vancouver, we’ll cover over 2000 km on the road to get there, and we’ll make sure to let you in on some of the best things to do in this Canadian gem.
We embark on a three-night journey, spending the first night in a lovely little cabin in Golden, BC, overlooking the stunning Purcell Mountains. From there, we step out of our comfort zone and give camping life a try by sleeping in our makeshift camper, our proud Lexus.
[Montage of scenic views and clips from the road trip]
We leave at 9 AM on Friday, taking off from Vancouver eastwards in the direction of the legendary Rocky Mountains. Along the way, we pass through Fraser Valley, a lush stretch of land just outside metro Vancouver that’s known for its agriculture. From here, the snowy peaks reveal themselves far off in the distance. As the road winds through a beautiful mountain pass near Hope, we eventually shoot out into a long stretch of BC’s interior region.
So far, we’ve covered 2 microclimates, passing lakes and wineries, We continue on for another two hours till we finally reach beautiful Golden.
Pulling up, we find solace in the cozy Mountain View Cabins (which we highly recommend). With spectacular views over the Purcell Mountains, the cabins are located just outside of Golden, offering a peaceful atmosphere. We arrive late in the afternoon and are greeted by a large family who invites us over to their bonfire. They generously share smores and even a sip of whiskey while we admire the spectacular mountain views, slowly enveloped by the crisp glow of golden hour.
The cabin has a rustic charm, and once the camp goes dark, only a DVD player for entertainment. We rummage through their selection and settle on a nice 80s creature feature. In the morning, we wake up to the buzz of the surrounding forests and enjoy a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs crafted in the shared kitchen.

Thank you! I am Croatian and I don't know my own country like you do 🙈😅

Not that I can remember. When I was there it was quite dry, so I had to carry my own from the refuge

I live in Utah, and we have a Mount Olympus. It has an elevation of 9,030 feet (2752 meters).
Did you need sticks?
for the most part

I want to visit Split too.
Great video guys - we are going there on 8th July and have only just started planning!
God of thunder lives here.
Incredible. I will be there in august and am trying to decide what peaks to attend. Mytikas seems very dangerous. Perhaps I will stick to Skala, perhaps Skolio. Any advice?
Hi! Great video !! How many hours would it take me to climb the mountain ?
Underrated destination 😊😊 and we have millions of tourists every year
Hey man, nice climb! Do you know mabye if there is a possibilty to park a car on the start of the route?
Hi Julio, you can park a car in Prionia at the base of the mountain
Hello.The locations you claimed for the view are they free or chargeable? Thanks

Jump-off point is a very interesting choice of wording 😅
How does the jump off point work? is it for parachutes?
great question, more metaphorical, I guess
incredible! i would like to go too

There are no gods, don't believe in Zeus, Athena or other gods. They don't exist

I wanted to ask if you think starting the trail from Litochoro is good Idea. Basically it's combining the route you had in the video with Litochoro -> Prionia one which is around 11KM I'm in a good shape So i'd need to start at Litochoro - > Prionia - > Refuge A on the day 1. day 2 would be ascending and get back to Prionia at take a Taxi. Do you think it's gonna enrich my trail and experience ? or should I stick to Prionia - > Refuge A on day 1? Thanks!
And Where did you start?
Hi Nils, I started the trail at Prionia - the trailhead parking lot
Where can I find the road? Can you reconmend Andy website, so that I can Plan the Start and the way up?
You can search prionia on google. Check this site info to get up the mountain - www.tripsavvy.com/mount-olympus-1526250
Im gonna stay for a month in Budva in 2 weeks, this video is great to show my travel buddies!
One of the tallest low elevation mountains with a warm peak it’s truly a unique experience
Just booked flights and some lovely Hotels for the end of May 💪
