Witnessing your struggles makes me confront my own. Totally different struggles or maybe opposite. I’m feeling stuck to a place, stuck to a job that I’m not great at. Just this morning telling my husband “let’s put the apartment for rent and leave”. “We can’t, what about the kids, they need stability, the family, the friends”…. Let’s wait ten more years…. But, what will be holding us back in ten years? And life passes us by…wishing you all the best and hoping everything falls into place! Stay well!
Hello Isabel ❤️ I don't have kids but I do have a family member who has similar struggles to yours. As you say, life passes by, and we never know how much time we have... I hope you'll find the best way/life journey for your family. Sending lots of love 🤗
@@anagoldberg Thank you for your kind words! I love your videos and insights! Big hug!
I guess it also depends on the age of your children…I have 3 and they are little and yes it seems they need stability but also children are very addapting…
I would recommend you the book "The midnight library" by Matt Haig, it helped me to see my life in a different way and be less stressful, and stop regretting what I have done or had not
@@polinacozy Thank you!
My family if 6 is homeless we take so much stuff back and forth to family and hotels.we are looking forward to home again.i found organizing everything and washing dirty clothes every day and every person having there own care products and keeping them organized i believe this is how we are surviving
I hope you'll find a home soon, my friend ❤️
I have been there, too. Hoping and praying you find a safe place to settle soon. If you’re in Seattle and want to reach out here, I have some resources for you to do free laundry and take free showers. Hang in there.
❤
I'm also in a season of down sizing, not because I am moving immediately but because I'm contemplating a serious career change that would require me to go back to school in the next two years, and to move across the country or potentially internationally. For me part of that process is beginning to trim down and minimize my belongings now so that if/when I do move, I won't have spent the past two years mindlessly accumulating clutter.
Wishing you the best of luck with your new chapter in life, my friend!
what you said about being in your 20s and just having to figure things out is so real. On my 4th month out of my parents house and working multiple jobs and doing all kinds of things to make it work! It's a beautiful mess
Wishing you all the best with your new chapter, Eliza 🤗❤️
You are a beautiful reminder that even in the fragility of our life situations we have the ability to direct our energies towards joy,hope and being in the moment. May you and Brian smile together in Romania
Despite the fact that we come from very different backgrounds, I can totally relate. You help me feeling not alone in this journey, thanks ❤
I'm so glad to read this ❤️ You're not alone, my friend!
Ana it is all about perspective. Many others would love to be free of their things that weigh them down. You have shared beautiful shots of your new adventures. Thank you for that from someone who has been planted in one place for so long. I send good thoughts your way, and prayers for your safety. Stay strong! 😊
Ana, your openness about adjusting to a new location is a combination of courage and the love you have for this community.
You inspire me to be more real with myself. Thank you dear friend- Hugs ❤
These are such important words for me to read! Thank you, dear Rhonda 🌸 Sending love.
I think Romania has an eerily beautiful mysticism about it. And how wonderful it is to be standing in the same place as your ancestors!?! I hope you both enjoy your time there. 💛Stacy
Thank you so much, Stacy 🌸
The filming of this is gorgeous; the colors are so brilliant. Do you feel like you are walking in Brian’s grandmother’s footsteps?
Ana, your complexion and hair look so healthy. I’m sure it helps to walk so much and get some fresh air.
Thankfully you were able to take most of your craft supplies with you. Maybe you can make a sweater with some yarn from Romania. If you weren’t able to take your sewing machine, you will find another one someday. I have had to leave machines behind and I’m always able to eventually replace it.
I know what you mean about cutting back on social media. There is so much going on in the world. If you miss one day, you are “out of the loop”. I try to watch happy and creative sites.
Take care, my dear friend and thank you for taking us with you! ❤
Dear Ruthann, thank you for your understanding and support as always ❤️
I imagine the kind of lifestyle you're living right now could feel like an exciting adventure for a while, then the overwhelming desire to just nest would take over. You're navigating this time of "being an airplane" beautifully! You are an inspiration, Anna! Maybe I can live like I'm in my 40s while being in my 60s! Enjoy, get as much rest as you can, and take care. 💙🌿🌼
As one of friends said here already, age is just a number! Let's live however we want 🥰
@@anagoldberg Absolutely! 👍💖
Good morning Anna! When I moved into my tiny apt I had to get rid of so many things but truthfully I have enjoyed living minimally. When I saw the title of this video I laughed because I'm living like I'm 40 in my 60's 😊 It really is a number and all about how you feel. I so enjoy hearing from you and seeing how you're doing. Sending love from the U.S. 🥰
Hello Lori 🌸 Haha, it's so true! Age is just a number, and the life of every human is unique. Love to the US from Romania ❤️
You are living in my home country! My heart is crying
💙💛❤️🥺
Hi Ana😊 I know living out if a suitcase is mentally challenging to say the least. I pray that you and Brian get to a more permanent place soon so you can really start putting down your roots. But until that time, I love what you said about building a community for each other right here.😊❤️
Dear Ana, as I said before, please remember that you have a friend here, in Romania! Blessings!
My husband died young and left me with four young daughters and my eldest daughter died of cancer. Now my girls are working or studying in college. I own my own home and have rented out the bedrooms to students and I’m off travelling Europe in a van I converted into a campervan having given up my job last week. I gave away or got rid of so much and stored the rest in my attic. It’s been a long hard journey to get to where I am now and I am doing it out of choice not because I’m forced to. I’m loving my new life so far. Me and my little dog kiayah. I can see you are enjoying yours too and you are 10 years younger than me!!!!
Ana u are an amazingly strong person with lots of talents. We live in terrible uncertain times urs definitely more uncertain than mine. Here in Scotland we had heavy and continuous rainfall since Friday and most parts had floods. Such amount of rain is certainly not normal even for Scotland. My last year was one of bullying and harassment at work. At times it looked like I might have to move to another country and start over again. I was lucky to find another job albeit the last year left me with a lot of doubts about Scotland where I have now been living gir over 20 years. It doesn't feel like home anymore although I love it's nature. For the first time I think that I will not be here until I die as I always thought. Time will bring answers. Nature mindfulness and yoga keep me sane. On that note I use the mindful movement on you tube alot for yoga and mindfulness. They are great. Just in case u haven't come across. As difficult as ur situation is u re getting to know countries more in depths than most of us and from my perspective that would be a positive. Take care Ana love from Scotland 🧡
I don understand all the bullying, I believe its a World Health Crisis, leaders are doing it, gives permission to others.
Do u have refuge from work once u get home from work?
@@oneseeker2 I was lucky to be able to get a new job
I'm so sorry for your struggles, dear friend ❤️Thank you for sharing them openly and for suggesting the mindful movement, I will check it out! Sending love to Scotland 🤗
@@anagoldberg thank you Ana and yes check them out I love there stuff. Take care!
My heart goes out to you Ana, and I wish I could help you in some way. All I can do is only give you a small amount of money for a coffee but I’d love to be able to help in some practical way. I’m an introvert and very much a homebody, my home is my sanctuary and safe space away from the world and without that I wouldn’t be able to function properly. I was briefly homeless when I had to leave my violent husband in the small hours of the morning and I was taken by the police to a refuge for other women in a similar position and the place was hellish. My mind and body just shut down as I couldn’t cope and they were the worst few weeks of my life. Luckily I still had a job despite being absent for a time, so I was able to get a room to live in and from there everything eventually picked up. I now have a lovely 2 bedroomed flat in a very nice area but I could never go through that kind of trauma again and survive, so I feel sorry for you, but at least you have Brian by your side. I don’t know why this is happening to you and why you have no solution but I hope you soon find peace. 💛🌹🏴
Dear Alys, you've been through so much... I'm so sorry all that happened to you and I'm happy that now you're safe! Thank you for this very personal sharing and for being so supportive. It means a lot to me ❤️ Sending love!
@@anagoldberg 🤗
Just a month ago, i turned 25. My whole life, I've struggled which will continue forever i guess. I see my peers enjoying life, travelling, pursuing their studies without any interruption, falling in love, etc. But I've thought that some day, when I'm done with struggling and adjusting, I shall live every moment i miss out on now. And seeing you say living in your 40s like in your 20s gives me a good hope....I wish you a good life. 🧡✌️
Welcome to Romania Ana!
I can relate to you in a way even if I have a home and I live in my home country. I don`t have a family or relatives so when I meet my friends family I am looking forward to that but afterwards I feel sad because it reminds me of what I miss in my life. I understand that I must go out and meet friends and not isolate myself but sometimes it´s easier just to be alone. I hope you will get somewhere to live in the near future Ana, a place for you and Brian. I understand it`s hard for you, but wish you, everything you wish for.
Hello Marianne 🌷I can understand what you experience so well... Thank you for your kindest wishes and words of support 💜
I am right there with you....Ive live alone for 11 yrs now and no friends...all my family is 4k miles away and it can be scary when situations or emergencies come up and you have no one to rely on for help..sending love strength comfort and peace ❤
@@irishcladdagh3 Thank you! The same to you.
Romania looks very pretty! I wish you both happiness there.
Have you developed any rituals that make you feel more at home once you get to the next destination? For me, many years ago, when I had to travel around the world and make a home, the first thing I wanted was to cook. Cooking has always been my creative outlet as well as a way to clear my mind. When I started watching your channel, I recall you sharing some of your recipes, I enjoyed that, and you looked like you enjoyed sharing. I believe cooking is an art form and one that you don't need room to pack up when you move. Sending you all the best wishes.
I can so relate to cooking! And i'm actually thinking of making some new culinary videos 😊 Thank you for this motivation, my friend! Sending love ❤️
Your videos are so inspiring! I've always wanted t visit Romania as a child; Now at 36 ; You have reminded me to GO
Romania is definitely worth visiting! I hope you'll get to see it❤️
Welcome to Romania, hello from Cluj Napoca. I hope you’ll have a nice time here. Lots of hugs! 🤗
Aww, thank you, my friend! 🤗
In the past I also enjoyed your inclusion of different philosophers, writers and thinkers. Wishing you well..
Ah, precious woman, my comment will be quite out of topic. In an interview of a french actor, the same cited an aphorism by the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle : «C’est bien d’être, mais l’important c’est de devenir.» - meaning approximately "it's OK to be, but what matters is to become". I wish happy travels and enriching becomings...
Oh, what a beautiful quote, thank you for it so much, Roger! "Enriching becomings" - I will remember this as my new inspiration and motivation 🌿
Thank you dear Ana. I understand the feeling of not being grounded and overwhelmed. I have trouble with overpacking and can get tired quickly. I empathize with your transition, switching from your own flat to nomadic lifestyle is a lot. Your experience I hope helps, like bring laundry rope. And is great idea. Cheers to the idea of community anywhere you two are. 💗💗🌞
Your videos are so inspiring and calming, thank you Ana. All the best for you and your husband ❤
Hi Ana, your video showing the weeping willow trees growing along the river bank remind me of my favorite childhood tree (also a weeping willow) in our front yard. I'm still drawn to special trees I find on hikes and bike rides. There is a magnificent maple in a small park near here. It has a large hole in its trunk that reminds me of the place Boo Radley, the mysterious hero in To Kill a Mockingbird, would put small toys for Scout and her brother to find. I have to work to remind myself each day of the many blessings I enjoy. They are often overshadowed by those frightening and endless news reports of war, social unrest, hatred, disease, floods, fire, earthquake, ai yi yi!! I like your creative clothes pins. 😃 Large paperclips might work too, if you run out of buttons.....
I am sending you so much love, strength, comfort and joy Ana & Brian...your sacrifice will not go unrewarded...as for me I am living in boxes...I have 5 more months left in the desert b4 I relocate to the Caribbean and I pray for patience every night bit I wake up with gratitude cor another day...I also have mu worries, Ive had to sell, declutter many things that I cannot afford to ship to my new location so even thougj like you i am a minimalist and having to leave even more things has me a little sad but it is what it is.... I know You and Brian are going to be ok...the important thing is that you are both on this journey together....that is something to be very grateful for...I am happy you are together. ❤
Hi, Ana! I've been watching you since you were living in Siberia and I can't believe you're in my country now! I hope you'll have good experiences only and find inspiration and comfort as well :). Your journey is unique, but also special. I wish you and Brian all the best. Love from Bucharest!
Ana, as I have watched you, for the past 2 years, I have grown in an understanding of life outside my self. You continue to face each 'next' challenge with a bit of fear, but always an abundance of grace and determination. I thank you, Ana, for opening my heart and my eyes!❤
Thank you so much for these words, dear friend ❤️
Living like I am 20 in my 50s, I am enjoying it.Good luck to you
Dear Ana! What you share is so sweet and genuine, and so full of vulnerability. It is hard, and so confronting, finding yourself 'not where you should be' at a certain age etc etc, but I think I've found that it also makes you more compassionate, attentive, aware of what's important. I hope some of the overwhelm calms soon for you!
Dearest Ana, I admire you very much. I think I could not be a kind of a "nomad" like you and your husband. (But you have each other) I need my house, my garden, my chickens, my save place. Because I am not healthy and not feeling secure in my body I need the safety even more - if this makes sense. I wish you are very kind and loving to yourself and take good care of you and Brian. To me your current "lifestyle" also feels like a chance to grow and learn important lessons that are precious and maybe give you a lot strength. I thank you for sharing your life, it has a positive impact on me. You being in Rumania makes me a little emotional because my grandpa was born there and there are family roots. I have never been there. Sending you much love, ❤ Melanie
Thank youfor your kind support and for sharing, dear Melanie ❤️ It's wonderful to know that your granpa is from Romania! Sending love, my friend 🌷
Yes, when I discovered your first videos from Siberia, I could very much relate with what you said, and showed...because of my background. You have all my support ❤️
Thank you, dear Eniko ❤️
You are such a precious soul Ana. Praying your time in Romania would be met with renewed strength and hope. Your journey has shown us that you are resilient and I hope for you both that you are closer to a time of finding roots. Lifting you up. ❤❤❤
It looks like you are in a pleasant area. The architecture you've shown us is so lovely! I'm no expert, but the bit I know about Romania's history is so interesting, at times very heartbreaking, but such a fascinating region. I'm glad that you and Brian are safely there and starting to feel out the next phase of your journey.
I'm close to your same age and also heading toward some fairly big unknowns. I have some big choices to make and tradeoffs to consider, and there is of course a lot of anxiety with all of this. Your videos help me to think about my own situation, and I just look forward to hearing all your thoughts and getting glimpses of your experiences. Thank you and very best wishes, Ana.
Wishing you all the best with your new life chapter, Bethan! The unknown can bring lots of happy surprises ❤️
Hello, Lovely. It is okay not to be okay. ❤
I am so interested to hear about how you are managing with downsizing your belongings. This is a challenge for me right now. My partner and I live on two boats, and I need to get to a position where I can sell the smaller boat. I am finding the challenge to part with so many items is quite difficult, and channels like yours help me to keep going.
great idea for using your clothing pins as clothes drying pins! blessings to you!
I am concentrating on family caretaking and relationships. I am involved with music and helping in organizations. I have to make an effort to keep possessions to a minimum. I haven’t regretted downsizing, but I have been doing it gradually. Like you, I try to problem-solve creatively with what I already have. Sending love from Nebraska.
Hey, Ana! All the best with your lifestyle now, it's actually amazing not to be tied to one place and have this freedom. In my 20's I used to live in one city, had an apartment, a car and lots of stuff and wasn't happy with that lifestyle. Then I sold it all, have now only one piece of luggage and change a place to live whenever I feel like it. Nom I'm 35 and I change countries every one or two years and honestly have no wish to live in one place permanently but rather in countries/cities that seem interesting to me :) Never late for anything and never late to be happy, conscious and satisfied :)
Dear Ana. I too will soon be moving countries, England back to the US. Im having to empty an apartment, furniture, everything. I will go back with 3 suitcases and a lot of anxiety about the future. Starting again at square one at 68. This will be my last move. You have inspired me with hope that it can be done yet again. Im fortunate. There will be no hassles at a border, interrogations or wondering if I can enter the country. But its the shock of change, the dissembling of an old life thats difficult. Hoping my journey is as successful as yours. Blessings to you.
Dear Laura, I'm wishing you the smoothest move. It's exciting and inspiring too 🥰 Your journey will be successful, i can feel it. Sending much love, my friend.
Dear Ana,
I can’t believe that you are currently in my hometown. I hope you enjoy your time there. If you need any recommendations of places/restaurants or any other things that you want to know about my hometown feel free to ask me. Estera
Hello Ana. I hope you have a great time living in Romania. I love this country, i think it has something very special. special energies and a very natural feel about it. I have lived hear for over 21 years and like you I came form another country. Thank you.
This is so true about the natural feeling in Romania! 🥰
You are a mirror for me . I am at this place for four years but I am beginning to sense that a change is coming my way. Life is a challenge that make us grow and expand. Romania looks very beautiful place full of history . Just take one moment at a time. I admire your strength. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions . Learning from you. 💗 only love 💗
Thank you, dear Maria ❤️
Dearest Ana, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Hats off to you for the courageous way that you and Brian have been facing your challenges. It is a challenging place to live, in the liminal, that space between what was and what will be. But the liminal is where life happens and you embrace it with so much grace and courage. I have been living a roller coaster life since 2008 and can associate with a lot of the things that you have been going through. I have learned that the only certainty in all of this is that there are no guarantees and that change is the only constant. When I embraced this truth everything turned from problems to opportunities and hardship to adventures. I am still living an adventure on a daily basis and have survived 1oo%. I choose to show up for everyday and embrace whatever comes my way with an open heart and mind. I am learning a lot. I have grown a lot. But mostly I am grateful for this amazing adventure that I call my life. Thanks again for sharing your life story with us. All of the best for this season of your journey.
Dear Micelle, what a wonderful, inspiring message you've left. Thank you! I will take this with me: "I show up for every day". Much love ❤️
Dearest Ana be well & happy in Romania - it looks like a lovely place to live. ❤
Dear Sharon, I hope you and your loved ones are safe ❤️ My heart aches for Israel and for all innocent people suffering in wars....
@@anagoldberg thank you so much sweet Ana . Me & my family are safe so far thank G-d . Devastating tragedy here. We are all in shock & heartbroken 💔 Praying for Peace 🙏🙏
Ana, one of the amazing folks on UA-cam ❤ Your videos are always comforting and pleasant to watch as the day winds down. The best to you and your partner 😊
Thank you, my friend!
So relatable, again. So cool to be where there are family roots. Autumn is my favorite season and it looks beautiful there.
Having chosen not to have kids of my own (I have a fully grown step son with my ex, but there is no word for ex step mom), I’ve chosen a life that leaves space to travel. My dream has always been to see the world, but I long for a sense of home wherever I am. Thanks to the whole brain tumor thing that just hasn’t happened lately. Aura sounds like something I should try. I really need to calm my nervous system and slow my mind down, while I live through this period of unexpected disarray. Thanks for this. Glad you have an outlet.
That’s a lovely place Anna. Enjoy it. Revel in the moment. That’s the best we can do I think. All the best to you and Brian.
That river and bridge look so much like the Sacramento River and the Sundial bridge across it. It is fitting that during the celebration of the thinning of the wall between worlds at Samhuinn or All Saints Day, that you are in a place connected to ancestors.
Hey, Ana and Brian! Glad to see you have somewhere to just be and breathe for now. Congratulations on reaching Brian's great-grandmother's former corner of the world. I hope you find what you're looking for there. Great tip on the clothesline and pins. Your sweater vest is lovely. Thanks for sharing your journey, whatever each day brings. I pared down a few things yesterday. How are you preparing for winter with your minimalist traveling lifestyle? Namaste'. 💖
Thank you, Ana. 🌺🌺🌺
For sharing about how to go ultra minimalistic. You helped me - I minimalizing in my camper van, and I didn't know how to deal with some of my hobbies.. paper cuts..
Hobby stuff has always been the toughest for me to manage and be ruthless with, that's why now I have a whole small suitcase of hobby/art things 😁
@@anagoldberg and by the way.. when I were in my twenties, me and my friends "lived" in our cars every evening, driving around
Now I am 62 and lives in my campervan, and hopefully I can retire early..in May already... and hit the road South. I am texting with my first boyfriend again - that make me feel even younger - BUT.. he has his kids and their kids (I have mine) so I will probably go anyway. Not going up north brrrr 🥶
I find it fascinating that Brian has roots in Romania.Are you going to do a geneaology search? I am so enamored in genealogy.I hope everything becomes easier and better Ana❤❤
Did you make that crocheted vest you were wearing and is that one of the things you got rid of? It's so cute!!! I love your videos and the thoughts you share in them. Good for thought for all of us. Thank you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable. You teach us through it. :)
I made this vest myself and I love it too much to declutter 😊 So I kept it!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I think we are all more alike than different. I am feeling similar struggles. There are moments I feel like my life has regressed, but it’s typically when I compare myself to others. I had my dream job but I was miserable. After years I finally quit, I am more happy now than I have been in years, but because I’m starting from scratch my income feels like when I was in my 20’s. Life is definitely a journey.
Indeed, life is a journey and I'm so happy to read that you've taken this scary step and entered into a new chapter. Wishing you the best of luck, Veronica! 🤗❤️
I really enjoy your videos. They are very down to earth and calming.
Hi Ana, thank you for being that resilient. It's inspiring how much you and your hubby are sharing through these beautiful videos and messages, though I believe they are just a glimpse of the adventures and strugle your are going through. It's like a parallel universe for me as life here in Brazil it is also a challenge as usual. Maybe one day in the future you both can come to Brazil and I'm sure you're gonna find lots of friends here...me included! Cheers! Always hoping for the best in your life! Lots of love. Nel.🥰
Thank you so much, Nel 🌷 I hope to get to visit Brazil one day. Sending love!
@@anagoldberg How amazing that would be! 🥰
Wow, what a great surprise!! You are in my home town!! Love it and really miss Arad
You are so lovely Ana 😊 You seem to be doing well - I am happy for you. Thank you for your thoughtful videos.
Really enjoyed this video Ana. I felt a sense of peace while watching, so thank you for all your work ❤️🩷❤️
Things changed dramatically for my partner Betsy and I (Together 30 years in June 2024!!) She has retired and it has been absolutely glorious having her here with me, doing and going anywhere we want when we want. Happiness can and will find you when you take the time to look! I have become a minimalist thanks to your direction! Thank you for the advice, structure, inspiration and something you have that other YT people don't, this ability to make one feel you are a long lost friend!! You do what you do very well, dear Ana....don't stop! We need you ☺
I'm so happy for you and Betsy, dear Susan! It's a real luck to find love and most importantly, to discover gentle comfort and care that true love offers 🥰 Thank you for your sweetest words, my friend!

Ooooo, so nice to see that you are staying in Arad. It is my birth home, my parents city, near to Arad at village Horia, I grow up. Amazing to me to hear that Brian grand grandmother it's from Arad. The world feels so small to me right now. I follow your youtube channel from years ago, and it feel so nice to see that you are in Arad right now, make me fell that I have even more things in common 😊 with you.
Happy birthay, Ana!

Hello Ana. Out of all the art materials I have, I keep aside a small basic set to take in case of emergency or unexpected travel. That way it is not 'all or nothing.' I think I got this idea
from your previous videos! Stay safe, I hope Romania gives you much joy and inspiration. ❤⚘
Thank you, dear Rowanne ❤️
Thank you Ana for this video and good luck to both of you.
Thank you so much, Danny 🌷
Ana, I love how honest you are with your emotions. ❤ I would absolutely love to visit Romania someday! I love to travel but it does wear me out ( big time !) and I don't do well with extended travel. You seem like you are doing your best and keeping perspective on your situation. I loved the title of this video, BTW.😂 I am definitely not old (I'm the same age as you, I think) but I after a bad injury earlier this year, I realized my body is not the same as it was in my 20s. I'm trying to take it as a reminder to take good care of it and also appreciate it. 😊
Dear Kali, I can so relate to feeling that the body is not like the one I had in my 20's 😊 Indeed, there's a very important moment of appreciation what we have. And Romania is definitely worth visiting! Sending love ❤️
Brave Ana, every time you have to move, I nest myself a little bit deeper into my familiar surroundings. You're doing so well! It looks beautiful there. I hope you get to explore before it gets too cold. Brian's ancestry makes it more intriguing. Will he try to find relatives while you're there?
Thank you, my friend ❤️ I'm afraid, no relatives are left here, but he'll try to research family history deeper.
Bun venit in tara mea. 💙
I'm so glad to be here ❤️
Another great video Ana. Have a great day
Thanks Liam, you too!
By the title of the video I thought you were having a blast😁
I love your videos, Ana, and hope to meet you and Brian some day.
Another good video Ana. Thank you for opening up and sharing your struggles. Let's be honest, we all struggle once in a while, feel vulnerable and I find it relatable to watch your videos. I myself sometimes feel stuck ( job, area), but I also know I'm grateful for what I have. Best of luck to you and Brian, may all your wishes come true 🙏. Greetings from Calabria, where I'm on vacation. Take care dear Ana ❤

We found out (in the last year or so) that my husband's grandparents (on his father's side) were born in Romania! The family story was that they were German - but no! His grandparents on his mother's side both came from Ukraine
also - your outfit is so cute! you look lovely x
Thank you 😊
Lovely video as usual 🙂. As the town is so close to the border I'm just curious if Brian's grandma was actually Romanian or was she Hungarian?
Hello! She was actually a Danube Swabian, so spoke Hungarian, Romanian, and German. Athough she was ethnic German, her and my family had lived in this land longer than my family has actually been in the United States. Pretty wild! I wish she was still around to see me here.
@@grady4757 Oh ok. Yeah I was just curious, being Hungarian myself (but came to Australia as a small child). I'm glad you're both managing to find new things to appreciate everywhere you go, but I hope you find some stability soon. No-one deserves so much uncertainty.
@@SzilviaVirag Thank you for the kind sentiment my friend. It's so interesting these directions our family histories take us. We'd both love to see Australia and will visit Hungary soon!
Being child free is the key.
this is so inspiring! All the best to you two. What would be interesting is how you handle the costs of your international lifestyle. Do you also have a minimal approach to this? If so, what do you do to stay on top?
Thank you for these questions! I'll do my best to respond to them in the future videos 😘
Romania looks very pretty! Also, I find the Romanian language very interesting.
I have ancestry in Arad as well, It use to be part of hungary before 1920
There is no one right road to to walk. We all have our individual journeys. 🥰
I have passed a big hurdle lately. But now I am at the other side of it, I find it difficult to know where to go. It is kind of paradoxial.
Wishing you the best of luck with your next step! ❤️
I am currently setting up an apartment as an air bnb what in your opinion would you say I would need to make a place homey and convenient for a potential guest/stay.
❤❤❤❤❤

I live like I'm 20 in mt 38🎉😊
Is that Spanish moss or weeping willow trees?
Wonderful seeing you❤.
Thank you, my friend ❤️ I think it's weeping willows, there are so many of them in Arad!
Thank you, I thought so, still... We had weeping willow until lightning struck it. Beautiful greenery and trees. I hope u find comfort and peace in such a beautiful place.
By the way it makes me happy to see video from Romania, where at least there, the society seem to be ok.
I remember as a child seeing in tv the overturning of Ceausescu, the terrible orphanages and poor orphans, people so very poor.
It has stuck in my mind as the image of Romania.
IT is call a steriotip😂, i
Romania has definitely changed, and so far it has been so warm-hearted and kind to us 😊 And it's beautiful!
@@Ali-ub7pg Stereotype? Yes, it is, and I am happy to see how far Romania has come since then. 💗
😮😮😮 are you saying you are in your 40s like how how can you stay as fresh as your in 18🤔 please share some tips help us😢❤
😊😊
I am curious how familiar it seems romania for you. because we have a lot of soviet influences 😁
Some bits of architecture are very familiar!
Will pray for you, Ana. Remember ... Jesus loves you!
