We are Jacob and Jenny, a husband and wife passionate about traveling the world. We started uploading in May, 2021 with a goal to see as much of the globe as possible. After visiting Costa Rica and French Polynesia, the time was right to quit our full-time jobs, so we left everything to travel and have loved every minute of it. Our goal is to make it to all seven continents and visit as many countries as possible. Follow along and be a part of the journey!

God bless Romania 🇷🇴
Amen 🇷🇴
Amen!
what? that hell hole?
😂 Romania is famous for train delays, but the destination it is worth it.
Btw, thank you, in the name of Romania's train management, for not pointing out the bad things!
Happy you enjoyed Romania! ❤
Hahah that is good to know! And of course! We are loving Romania ♥️
I think there was some problem with the train on the Brasov Bucharest route there are very seldom delays
@@atharvaveda87Nu trebue luat în considerarea raiul Versurile terenurilor să-ți și Beti o ☕și cînd vine!!! Va scuti și coboriti cînd ajunge la destinație cu sau fără întârzieri 😂😂
It’s weird to watch travel videos about my country but I feel so good knowing that foreigners have a great time in Romania. It makes me happy don’t judge me 😅😅
We love Romania and already can't wait to come back!! Thanks for watching :)
Awesome country !
It is amazing!!
Wow guys!!! I’m from Sinaia myself - thank you so much for visiting my city!!!
That is amazing, it is a gorgeous place!! Thank you for watching :)
If you are a wildlife photographer/videographer Romania is definitely a place to be. There's a lot of wildlife from bears, to wild horses, to Charpatian Lynx (which btw are Romania's national animal), to all kinds of birds (mainly in the Delta but of course throughout Ro as well), to wolves, to eagles, to black sea dolphins, to European bison, wild boars, and many many more. Love your energy btw guys. Big up!
It is so incredible! We loved the wildlife and all the nature!! Thank you so much friend :)
Stunning guys. Sometimes castles look so dark and cold inside, without character. But this seemed so different. Very beautiful. Especially the architecture of the building itself. And those flowers, well what can I say. 😊💗
Glad you got to meet your friends. The landscapes are beautiful as well. Can’t wait to see more of this country. Stay safe. 💗
Yes we totally agree! It is so beautiful and bright :) the flowers were my favorite. We can't wait to share more of Romania! Thanks, as always, for watching :)
God Job. Greetings frommGermany.
You should've visited Pelișor castle inside, it is gorgeous, more intimate the Peleș and gives you the sensation that people still live there, they are just out for a bit. So emotional, don't miss it next time!
We will have to go there another time! I am sure it is amazing. Thanks for the information :)
Just gorgeous .. that Castle was so cool .. as is the scenery 😍😍🥰🙏
It is such a beautiful place!! 😍
I love your videos so much. You have an awesome energy! Thank you for the kind words about Romania, I am really glad you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for your encouraging words :) Romania is so wonderful!
Before you said it I thought this looks like Germany. Fairytale Castle and the food looked great!
Right?! Such an amazing place and love the German feel :)
Hey guys, so do you mind if I tell you about maybe the best King and Queen of Romania?
So here is it: After King Carol's death, his nephew Prince Ferdinand was to inherit the crown. Carol had sons, but they were not interested because the country was a rural country, more ot an agrarian country than the beauty and splendor of western European countries.
He married princess Maria of Edinburgh in Britain, the granddaughter queen Elisabeth of Britain.
Ferdinand and Maria were to be crowned during WW1.
Ferdinand was a good leader and though he came from a German speaking country he choose to protect his country from the war and keep neutrality. Until he received word from the Romanians of Transylvania that they were going to use the opportunity of the war to revold against the occupying Hungarians and Germans. Ferdinand decided that to avoid the massacre of Hungarian backlash, he was going to help them. It went well but Germany intervened and pushed back the country until the end of the war. During a truce talks, Ferdinand delayed signing any surrender until the war was over and thus avoided any political backlash or promises to the Hungarians or Germans.
During the peacetalks, things weren't going so well, USA and other western leaders wanted to let Hungary keep Transylvania to knock them out of argument. But the Romanian politicians could not stand for it. They needed someone with a good reputation to help them turn things around. Ferdinand could not go and make demands because he was of German descent and no one would listen to him.
But Queen Maria who became a avid supporter of Romania decided to put her royal upbringing and political education to use: she went to the Peace talks and gained the support of the United Kingdom and the French and Spanish and even talked openly to President Woodrow Wilson about the importance of giving Transylvania to Romania both strategically and for the people who were oppressed by the Hungarian occupation. She spoke passionately like a great leader that even left the politicians speechless all the while never losing face or prestige of her British upbringing.
She returned home before the Peace talks were done but in the end Transylvania was allowed to reunite with Romania. And so the era of Greater Romania began. (It is called Greater because it was the only time in history where Romania had the largest territories in its boarders)
Today she has statues, Hospitals named after her and she is loved by all Romanians.
This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing all that wonderful information :)
''Carol had sons'' - No really?! Carol had only the daughter which died as a child. So, because he didn't had a son, his nephew followed him to the throne.
Ferdinand and Maria were crowned definitley after WW1, and not during WW1. (15.10.1922 Alba Iulia)
@davidionescu2103 Indeed, I made a mistake because, honestly, I did not know enough about Carol's family, so I made a quick search to cover why Carol's own nephew took the throne instead of his closest family and found that mistake.
But I am aware that Ferdinand and Maria became the lesders of Romania during the war. They just couldn't make the official coronation until after the war was over.
@@julianmarco4185 You said Ferdinand and Maria have been crowned during WW1, which is not accurate. They became king and queen of Romania during WW1, but coronation has been made later, after WW1.
Queen Maria of Romania was a granddaughter both of Queen Victoria of Great Britain and of Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Her father, Prince Alfred Duke of Edinburgh, was Queen Victoria’s second son and her mother Grand Duchess Marie the daughter of Emperor Alexander II of Russia.
Awesome video guys! Definitely need to add Busteni to our travel bucket list 😍
Thanks friend!! You definitely should 🙌🏼
Yes, I'm glad that you really covered the Peles Castle - I rank it as Romania's #1 tourist site. The Bran castle is good, and has all those spooky Dracula vibes, and that's why it's so popular, but the Peles Castle will just blow you away! During communist times, the Peles Castle was one of Ceausescu's private playgrounds, but it was opened up to the public following the fall of communism. You guys have so much youthful exuberance and enthusiasm, you fit right in with the spirit of Romania and its wonderful people.
It is such a fun and spooky place to visit! It is incredible!! Thank you very much for all your kind words :)
You say " Boosteny" În fact letter "ș" is like "sh" 😊 I'm happy for your happynes. You both are so sweet. Have fun în our beautiful country!
Good to know! Thank you so much, you are so kind :)
is read more like Bush - tenni (like in tennis)
SO GREAT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU GUYS FINALLY!!! Bușteni is gorgeous!
SO SO FUN!! 🎉
Love from Romania (Iaşi)! God bless you! :)
Lots of love!! God bless you as well :)
Love ur reactions ,hope u had a great time .Much more u must see and i hope u do it and love our beautiful country❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! We are loving Romania ♥️
Brașov the most beautiful city of Romania !!! ♥️💛💙
It is so gorgeous!! 🇷🇴
Trains being late is the norm during summer. It can also happen in harsh winter days, especially going to the mountains. So have pleanty of water with you. And some snacks 😅
Wow that is good to know haha!! Always gotta bring snacks and water! Thanks for watching :)
Amazing videography in this one guys! I had to rewind a couple of spots and watch again and paused several of the castle interiors. Stunning.
You should watch a full tour
@@qwertyqwerty-zi6dr Yes! I was very impressed with the glimpse of the courtyard and the chandeliers and found a full tour on UA-cam now in my Watch Later list.
Thank you friend! It is such a gorgeous castle!!
you are are so cute. Thank you for visiting Romania❤
Thank you so much!! We love Romania ♥️
@@JacobandJennyTravel 💞
Have you visited Pelișor Castle, too? When you have time, come and discover the beautiful city of Iași, which is not presented in mainstream media. It has a very beautiful Palace of Culture.
Yes we did visit it at the end of this video :) it was beautiful! Thanks for watching!
In Sinaia the center is verry pretty with a lot of restaurants and the central parc, was close where you walked, for me was a must visit!
That sounds amazing!! I am sure it is beautiful 😍
8:50 i love this music you choose..
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
You are so nice people! I don't want to speak about Romania! Romania can present themself! Happy that you joined your trip in Romania
Thank you so much for your kind words! We love Romania and can't wait to come back soon 🇷🇴
Busteni such a lovely place was there in February nice and cold how I liked it I wore shorts and got some stairs as being British I love the cold! Braşov is another lovely place! That was a great place for food and site seeing
That’s awesome!! Was there snow there then?? We loved Brasov as well 😍 thanks so much for watching!

I’m sure it is beautiful :)
Peles is the Bugatti of Castles. Fancy with all the latest tech at the time. World First castle fully powerd by electricity
Yes that is so cool!! We loved exploring it!
I❤🌍! Peace! 👍👋
Thank you so much for watching 🇷🇴♥️
❤❤❤❤❤
♥️♥️♥️
Oh,I guess Jenny enjoyed the places you ve been to ....:)) Welcome to România!
It is a wonderful place!! Thank you so much, we love it :)
love from Romania....try more..
Romania is amazing! Thanks for watching :)
You are like the cutest couple...Please upload a bit quicker and thank you...Im just sitting here in Brasov waiting for your new videos. Im on holiday too, I live in the UK, I grew up here, but i would love to show you sights and sounds...
You are so sweet!! Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! We just left Brasov (and it was so amazing, videos coming soon🎉) enjoy your holiday!
Beautiful vlog ! Thank you !
Thank you so much for watching!! :)
if you're still there and going to Bran castle, u should maybe go a few km from Bran ,up to the mountain villages(Pestera/Magura or Fundata), the scenery is stunning and they're good examples of old scattered mountain villages. You can take a taxi from Bran and walk around, then call a taxi to get you or walk the trail back.
That sounds amazing, thank you for the suggestion :)
@JacobandJennyTravel I'm from Bucharest and it's my favorite place to go for a few days in nature. Don't worry abt the lack of public transport, there's buses from Brasov to Bran from where u can grab a cab, a train from Brasov to Zarnesti(cute town you can take a taxi from, to Magura,they even have a taxi app Tur, there is also some nice hiking in that area). It's touristy but not as much as Busteni, Predeal, Sinaia, the views arw great and the atmosphere is nice and rural, u can walk between Magura and Pestera. You can ofc even stay in that region
Peles Castle was the first castle in the World electrically iluminated.
That is so amazing!! We were blown away by Peles castle!
chandeliers and mirrors made of Murano glass. Library walls covered in Cordoba leather. Tea room table and chairs , made of pepper wood , as a gift from some Indian Maharaja . A whole Indian family worked for 4 generations to make them.... like 100 years !!!
It's important that the last queen of Romania died there because she was beloved by the whole country. Queen Mary was the one that created hospitals in ww2 and invested a lot in the country's education and houses for orphans. Her sone was also beloved by the country, though he had a sad life bein overthrown by communists, him investing in the education of tomanians with massive libraries (see Iasi BCU) and him ending up selling eggs from chickens he grew because of the poverty he was sent to because of the communists. There is more to be said but I advise you to see his funeral on youtube after reading up on him.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us, we love learning about it. :) we will look it up on youtube!
Super
Thank you :)
Don't worry, the bear just wants to say "Happy Birthdayyyyyyyy", so treat him with something good and pet him a bit ! :):):)
Hahaha!! That is so funny! 😂🐻
Nice!
Thank you :)
this is only the summer residence - I mean the Peles Castle...
Right! It is so wonderful, we miss it so much!
Nice nice
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
The Pelisor castle is famous becouse of Queen Maria, you cand find infos about her here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_of_Romania
Thank you for the information!! We will check it out :)
I recommend hike to Omu Peak, and Moldoveanu Peak
Thank you so much for the recommendation :)
Bună... țin să vă spun... Ați văzut doar o bucățică din Romania...
Yes Romania is very big, hopefully we will explore more of it someday!
Not to worry about bears here, if they hear you speak foreign languages you will be ok.
Hahaha bears scared of English 🐻😂
Tourists friendly.
❤
♥️
Visit Brașov the best city !!! ❤
România it's the house at over 8000 of wild Bears the bigger populațion of bears from European Union🐻🐻🐻,we have and wild Bizons🦬,wild Horses🐎,Wolfs,Linx,Șacal and already You show the Fox🦊
It is amazing, Romania has such beautiful wildlife and nature. Such a special place :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel If your want to see the wild bear go on the Transfăgărșan this is considered one of the most beautiful highway în the world You can see bear on the highway and also there You can show Vidraru dăm and lake it's amaizing and right on the top at Mountains You have Bâlea lake (lake of origin glaciar)
Common misconception. Peles is not a castle, it's a palace.
She open her mouth so easily every time !!! You are a lucky guy 😂😂😂
😅
Hello, nice video!
If you have time please visit Brașov(for me is the most beautiful city from Romania, with a good good food) Sibiu Oradea Iași Bucovina Maramureș Cluj and Sighișoara
You will not regret, trust me
Have a nice trip !
We definitely are!! Brasov looks amazing, we can't wait! Thank you so much for the recommendations :)
My pleasure, i hope you will have nice memories
In Romania are so much beautiful places to visit but depends how much time you guys have to stay
The Danube Delta, Salt mine from Turda, the Fortress from Alba Iulia.
Enjoy guys, those moments are unique!
The train being late and no air is so typical of Romania.
The no air was for sure rough haha, thankfully the train had it and was on time 🙌🏼
@@JacobandJennyTravel watch the video again. You said it was late in arriving and late in departing. Frankly, you are trying to hard to convince me. What's indicated here????
Hahaha oh gosh, I mistyped. I meant the NEXT train we went on had air conditioning. The first one was late and had no air conditioning 🤪 my bad!
@@JacobandJennyTravel, maybe you should write a script if you can't remember such simple facts. I am willing to bet that you would be the first one screaming your.... if it happened in Arizona.
If you, guys, are loud enough, you'll never meet a bear...
That is great to know! Thank you for the information :)
That place must be un-bear-able to visit..
Hahaha! This made me laugh out loud!!😂
30 minutes late :) Welcome to the Romanian Railroad Company, my friends :) Oh and having to pay for each floor of the Peles Castle... this must be new, I've been there many times and you would just pay for a complete tour.
Hahaha! And that is so interesting they started charging per floor! Thanks for watching friend :)
17:32 So...that bean kicked in, isn't it...
Hahaha yes it for sure did😂
Visit Via Transilvanica....
Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for watching :)
it is called peleş,ș,
Thanks for the information :)
hi jenny and jacob how are you guys😃
Hi Sam! We are good! How are you?!
im fine im loveing the vlogs you guys are doing its amazing 😃😀
trains are always late in Romania, CFR is state owned and like anything state owned and managed is bad...
Corporations are good, not the state. 🇺🇸🇪🇺🏳️🌈🇪🇺🤡
That is good to know! Thank you for sharing!
Make noise the bears should leave
Yes!! Thank you for watching :)
👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
♥️🇷🇴
😂😂20 -30 mins?!! Mate, you are very, very lucky.....in the winter you can wait like 3 or 4 hours 😂😢 and they slowing down a lot....like 20 km /h, in some areas because the rail line is frozen and contracted? Is such a f...u..ck night mare.....in special if you have another train to catch 😂😢😢😅 but deserves, the landscape is ineffable ❤ I miss my country, and all the mess😂
Wow that is crazy haha! It is a wonderful place :)
It's sadly not a joke, living in Brasov and it's neighbourhood is a challenge, you must be in a very good running shape and always focused on the surroundings, otherwise you can be killed or hardly injured by a bear. Meanwhile, our corrupt politicians don't care about, and further encourage the deforestation. :(
Oh no, that is such a bummer! I am sorry to hear that.
43 minutes ad on utube. Its...😂. Skip. 🎉❤
Hahaha yes you should definitely skip a 43 minute ad, that is crazy!! Thanks for watching our video :)
9:36 it's the firefox, click on update 😂 king Carol I was a little bit different from the King Obama & blondieTrump >> Jenny, Micii & Sarmale is a danger for your health, be moderate
Hahaha, I know the Romanian food is so good, we are going to leave ten pounds heavier haha!!
After second WW this guy , king :)) Carol , gave Moldova to the Russians and Ardeal to Hungayria, so he might have his guns but he was shooting blanks .
Hahaha!! Thanks for watching :)
That's not the same king who built the castle 😒
Wasn't it Ion Antonescu who ruled Romania in WWII??
@Plata-ori-plumbu He ruled the army . And he didn't give up anything . After they murdered him, the brave king made a fool of himself

Everything just rubbish 😱
Thanks for watching :)
She's over exaggerating, unnatural reactions
Hahaha I actually am just a really excited person :) not faking it at all!
Karen relax karen
Not sure what this is referring to haha but thanks for watching!
Thank you for promoting our country, have fun and enjoy your stay
It is our pleasure, we are loving Romania so much! Thanks you very much for the super thanks :) we truly appreciate it!
Super
Thank you :)
Thank you for promoting our country so well. I'm glad you enjoy the mountains. Every time I'm there, once every 2-3 years, I recharge with energy. I have a cabin up in the mountains, and I stay there. It's really beautiful.
How was your overall experience in Romania? What do you think of the mountains?
I no longer live in the country, but every time I go there, I savor it with the greatest pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, and it really shows in the video that you had a wonderful time.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
We totally agree, going into the mountains always recharges us. We have absolutely loved Romania especially the mountains, nature and wildlife. Oh and the delicious food 🤤 thank you so much for your offer! We definitely will!
Wow! The views and the castle are breathtaking! Great video!
They are incredible!! Thank you so much for watching :)
If you are in Busteni i hope you also take a hike to Urlatoarea Waterfall (1h walk) and Babele - Crucea Caraiman up the mountain by cable car. The view from Caraiman Cross is amazing.
It definitely is!
That sounds great!! Thank you so much for the suggestions :)
You must see the monastery în Valey Ialomicioara is the bestb in the world,belive me(10 km Sinaia)
Romanians loved our german kings , unlike the all the other rulers that romanian principalities had (greeks,russians,hungarian,etc) that were only interested in robbing the population ,they were true kings, reformed the country, industrialized it, opened schools and universities , invested in fine arts and music. And on a personal level, they learned the romanian language and considered themselves romanians ,they were proud of their country and we were proud of them. The best period romania ever had ,people still miss the Hohenzolern dinasy
That is so amazing and good to hear! :)
Ai dreptate. Natürlich..!!
România e frumoasă ❤❤😘😘😘
Yes it is 😍
"Busteni" means "logs". Nice video. Enjoy your vacation!
That is so cool, thanks for the translation :) and thank you for watching!
Suggestion. If you go up to the north of ROMANIA, I suggest visit city of Oradea, Brașov and Saltmine Turda. And dont forget to eat: Papanași. Romanian desert.
Yes! We are going to Brasov! Papanasi is soooo delicious! Thanks for the recommendations :)
Trains in Romania = if a woman gives birth to a kid in the train , the kid will be ready for high school on arrival in final station
I hope the guide told you properly the story of the castle. There are many debates , but the historical fact was that Carol built this castle with his own money . Not even a dime of Romanian treasury was used. He sold some of his properties in Germany and built this castle. Around 3 million gold francs .... am afraid to try and convert in today's currency . Probably should multiply by some hundreds . Considering that a few gold francs were a good months wage in that time
You have all the good information haha!! We have enjoyed reading all your great comments! Cheers friend!
Is normal in Romania train leit 30 min or haour😂
That is good to know haha
Always make a great video content 👍 🖤 🖤 ❤️ ❤️ Superbbb
Thank you so much friend :)
Rent a car and near Sinaia is TRANSBUCEGI! IS STUNING
That is the plan!! Thanks for the recommendation :)
Tren...no recomiendo, alquiler un coche
Thanks for the recommendation :)
Did you buy castle tickets on the day at the entrance? I’m going there in June and I’m just trying to figure out where to stay and transport :)
Yes we did! Just bought them right at the entrance :) enjoy your trip!
Lol, normal?
este foarte frumoasa romania dar nu stim noi romani sa o pretuim
Romania is so beautiful!! It is easy to take for granted things you see everyday! Thanks for watching :)
A bit over the top lady
It's just my personality, I am not going to change it :) Have a good day!
That's not countryside, those are towns, that's urban, not rural.
Thanks for sharing :)
Happy late birthday!
Thank you so much friend🎉
Imi place ca in toate clipurile , traseul este Bucuresti - Sinaia - Brasov cu extensii spre Sighisoara, poate Cluj.
Nici un itinerar spre Alexandria - Videle - Calafat - Caracal - Dabuleni .
Sau Slobozia - Urziceni - Tandarei - Buzau - Tecuci etc .
Avem doua Romanii - una de expozitie si una , Romania reala , vai de mama ei ! De acolo vin politicienii care ne conduc , prin vointa poporului , vai de mama lui si el !
We had such a wonderful time in Romania! Thanks so much for watching 🇷🇴
We,the romanians ,we are not eaten by the bears because....we are who eat the bear instead.....btw,i would recomend you to try the bear paw ,it's available in some restaurants from the area.
Hahaha! Thanks for the recommendation :)
