Flying International During Pandemic || TRAVEL DAY VLOG 2020

- Travel day vlog 2020!!! Are you wondering what flying international during a pandemic is like now? Today we flew for the first time in three months! Oh how we have missed the air and of course airports!! We bring you along and show you what flying on a budget airline from Ukraine to... ALBANIA is like now in 2020. From new restrictions on who can even enter the airport, to a very different airport lounge experience, to getting full body sprayed on arrival (and we are not talking about the torrential downpour). Travel is for sure different now and every time since the pandemic we feel flying is a new experience worth sharing. We hope you all enjoy flying with us and seeing the first sights and tastes of Tirana!! What a fun city!

Got to love when they don't let you back into the airport. Has happened a few times :) have a fun trip!
Thank you so much! I was so surprised to see a comment from you on our little channel! We've watched your videos when we were planning our trip to France in 2019, grateful all your knowledge and tips! Seems like even if it wasn't a think pre new safety measures in places it might be a thing now so I will denitely keep it in mind as we continue our travels! Thanks for watching.
@@DjusLife That's cool to hear. I hope the videos helped a bit. Keep up the good work and rock on with the traveling!
They definitely did! Thank you again we will!
I'm living vicariously through you guys and I'm obsessed!
Hahaha Katelyn were so glad to hear you're enjoying our vlogs and that we're able to bring you along ;)
Loved being on for the premiere
Thanks for joining us for the premiere, glad the timing worked out :) we might start doing more premieres in the future. Did you get notified via an email or in the app that our video was premiering soon?
I saw it on Instagram and the went to UA-cam and hit the reminder for when it started
Ahh okay awesome. Thanks for the info, still trying to figure the premiere process and what it does and doesn't do :)
Loved it!!
Thanks for your support. Glad you enjoyed our vlog, it was fun to be back on the road again ;)
great edit !!! we loved watching this vid !!! really well done we r on board and r loving it can't wait for the next ep! thankx heaps from us !!! ooxx
Thanks for the encouragement we're glad you enjoyed it! The next one is already a work in progress and will be out soon :)
Hey guys, happy to see you are flying again. I always love being able to board and deplane via the tarmac too.
How exciting to get to a new country with no plans. We look forward to seeing where you end up staying and what you end up doing!
We both like the tarmac experience, our home airport in US didn't really do it so we enjoy it everywhere we can get it.
Albania turned out to be a lot of bun we're excited to make and show more videos soon
Love this video! I’m flying internationally in a few weeks so this was helpful to see! Can’t believe it that the shampoo was making your hair fall out 😬 hopefully you have better luck in Albania! Can’t wait to see your trip
Are you flying back to US? It would be interested to see what it's like to fly into US right now. Yes that shampoo did some damage, it's starting to get better we think little by little. Excited to share Albania adventures soon
@@DjusLife Yes flying from switzerland to the US for a few weeks around the holidays -- fingers crossed all goes well. Looking forward to your Albania adventures!
Interesting experience! Thank you for sharing! Greetings!
Hey guys 👋🏼, good to see you guys! Thanks for watching our travel day, it definitely was interesting but fun to be back on the road, or plane in this case ;)
Yay! I finally caught up with all of your vids after a week. 🥰
No way!! Wow! What do you think? That’s so interesting to see the whole travel journey in one week haha we binge watched some channels too. Thanks for watching them all, we hope you enjoyed them. But seriously any thoughts any feedback is appreciated we want to keep improving our vlogs :)
@@DjusLife i watch your vids mostly while im working so i wont get bored. Lol. One of the things i noticed the most is the loud background music. I usually use headset or big speaker so i turn up the volume when you guys are talking and you mentioned there's an issue with your mic. Then when the music comes in i always get startled. Lol. I hope you can equal them out. Other than that everything is great
Thanks for that feedback , we’ve not been able to find a place to repair our came in the last few countries, problem is with the camera not mic unfortunately. Hoping maybe in the next country we can. Well try to increase the volume of talking shots in some upcoming vids and ask if there’s an improvement, thanks for your help
You can only kiss for 3 minutes 😂 awww. Was fun to see a bit of your hostel, and that line outside the airport was impressively long. I love the live music of the piano and the food looked nice in the lounge ☺️ I can’t wait to try an airport shower one day. It sounds amazing! Welcome to Albania! Can’t wait to see more of the country with you 😍
Haha yeah kiss and fly haha. It seems like it was there pre corona too. But yes the lines were long and airplane was full but there's just so much less flights per day that the airports still feel very empty. We're excited to show more of Albania! It's been so fun :)
Good to see you guys are still travelling in these difficult times, safe travels!
We also glad we are still able to travel safely and that we've been able to find new places to explore and new people to meet :) thanks for watching
Yaay! So happy you got to fly again 🤗 and go to a lounge!! So jealous haha
Palm trees is Albania? Who knew!
Really looking forward to seeing more of Albania 🤗
Albania is awesome, were so excited to share our adventures in albania :) were so glad to be travel and exploring new places.
Love the video
Thank you! We so glad you enjoyed it!
Aw guys, its so crazy how we can take showers and proper shampoo for granted LOL.Flip this editing is on point guys, the Drone footage was just EPIC :) Whaaat? Albania, that's FREAKIN awesome guys. We can't wait to see your vlogs about this beautiful country ! Guys, did you have to do Covid tests at all and prove it? it looked pretty hassle free to travel there guys! See you guys soon!
Thanks friend!! Yeahh totally took shampoo for granted... and forget conditioner thats not a thing in a lot of countries... who knew 🤷🏼♀️
Albania is GORGEOUS!!!!! We didnt need covid test at all.. we have been trying to travel to only places we dont need them as of yet cause the cost adds up 🤣 covid test in Albania to go to Montenegro cost 100 euros per person 😳. Definitely a whole new travel expense. Some countries the test is cheaper which is great!! Besides the difficulty of figuring out what restrictions there are and picking a place you dont need a test or quarantine travel isnt too bad.
Just found you guys on instagram! Awesome video! You guys are living what my 2020 was supposed to be. Sadly my husband and I decided to wait to quit our jobs and travel until the pandemic is more under control. Hopefully next August/Sept we will be able to go! Until then it looks like I get to live vicariously through you! Keep it up!
Hi 👋🏻 so glad you found us!!! Such a bummer that your plans had to get pushed off. We had already quit once it started going global so it was too late to go back haha. Hopefully for you guys so many of the restriction hurdles wont be there once you get going!! Thats my hope for you- that waiting will be worth it! Where were you thinking of traveling first and how long in each place? We love hearing about other peoples travel styles! So glad we can quench a bit of your travel thirst 😊
@@DjusLife we were planning on starting in Italy and Greece before heading to the Balkans, Turkey, and Eastern Europe. That's still our plan for next year, but now we are also discussing adding South America as well. ☺️ I guess this waiting period may have been a blessing in disguise, as we have more time to save money so we can hopefully travel for longer now!
That's a great outlook! We've been to all those minus greece and we've loved our time exploring the different regions. Wish you guys fun planning amd travels when the time finally comes. Yes we quit first week in march, I guess you can call us optimistic definitely didn't go as planned but we're still so grateful for this time together
SUBSCRIBED :) hahaha you guys are great, hope to make the leaf of faith like you did :) Well done Guys
Thanks for checking out our channel and subscribing! Hope you guys stick around our adventures and enjoy them. I will say it was definitely a leap of faith and trust but it's been totally worth living and enjoying life together for the last 7 months or so even despite difficulty with travel this year.
@@DjusLife We have started vlogging while working and living in Dubai to see if all this traveling is possible in the next year :) But definitely keen to see more of your video's :) love your guys style :)
We thought about going to Dubai but it definitely seems like a place for a long stopover not a week or two because of the cost associated from what we hear. Seems like a fun place, will check out your channel for ideas on Dubai
@@DjusLife Dubai is expensive, just need to go to local restaurants and use the Metro for the cheapest way to travel around :) if you do visit, give us a shout and definitely go to other places like Fujairah and Hatta👍
We will definitely get in touch how long do you guys intend on being in Dubai for work?
Exciting!!! 😊
So excited to explore some places that are a little under the radar. :)
Congrats on your 10th country. It’s indeed a different experience to travel by plane.
THANK YOU!!!! We were so excited 😆 We love airports and airplanes and missed it a lot! Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment. We really appreciate the support and encouragement 💛💛
I'm dying, " I can smell you!" 🤣🤣 Oh my word that was the best. Y'all come back to the States and be my best friends, lol!!!
:) I wasn't expecting that response from Amy either but was glad that she liked the smell of the lounge's shampoo and body wash haha. Glad to make you laugh I did too watching the video
Wow, the traveling looked intense!
One of the biggest challenges about international flights is the amount of connections you have to make trying to go to the destinations. There’s nowhere hear the amount of daily flights right now and with pandemic restrictions you can’t go through some countries or more direct flights are extremely expensive. This is why we went to Albania, it was the only place we’ve never been to that we could take a direct flight to, and we wanted to explore the Balkan region. Otherwise it was a packed flight, pretty smooth and all but that disinfectant spray thing we had to walk through after getting of the plane was completely new to us, we’ve never had to go through something like that prior.
@@DjusLife is it wrong just to want scottie to magically beam me to where i want to go?
Haha that would be great! teleportation would live easier and harder at the same time I bet especially with travel restrictions :/
@@DjusLife hmmm.... nothing is worse then going through security when them make you take your shoes off.
I love airport lounges too but have never showered in one. I can't wait to fly again! Was your plane packed? That gyro (I can't remember the official name! 🤣) looked so good!! Enjoy Albania 😊
Yes the plane was just about full a few seats open. We were hoping to get to experience a lot of international lounges this year but unfortunately we haven't been doing as much flying, more slow travel approach these days :) showers have been great in both, very clean.
We have never taken a shower at a lounge so that's something we want to experience at some point! The lounge service is not the same and it hurts. Palm trees always makes me happy! Looking forward to Albania series! 🤗
You guys will definitely enjoy it when you get the opportunity! I'll say the one at the Seoul airport was nicer but it's still a fun experience. Wish food was like the old days in the lounges though.
Wonderful video, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it. We really enjoy making them and sharing the with people who love to explore and interested in travel
I can't wait to go on an airplane again! I totally get that excitement and to be able to hang out at the airport lounge... I have never taken a shower at the airport though. That would be interesting! Amy, did you try other shampoos? I remember you saying that the fake Pantene made your hair fall out...I would be scared to wash my hair too!! It is definitely very different traveling in 2020. Stay safe! I can't wait to see your new adventures! :)
It's honestly one of our favorites things, flying and airport lounges. Both times the showers felt very clean :) yes ever since that Pantene her hair hasn't been the same, tried some other shampoos in after too. We're excited to start sharing the albania adventures soon :)
Y’all are so tough! I couldn’t do the shared bathroom. Can’t believe the shampoo made your hair fall out! How scary! Albania is on our list too! So looking forward to seeing your coverage!
It was a long time for sure but bouncing between different accomodations breaks it up and didn't feel like one long stay without a private bathroom. You guys are going to love Albania it's been so great!
Omg! You got sprayed with disinfectant 😳 oooo this is going to be a fun country to stay in! Yayyy 😀👏 how fun are hostel though?
That spray thing was weird and unexpected but we only saw it one other time when walking into a church :) excited to share our adventures from albania. :) We like hostels but we opt for private rooms for more peace quiet and space :)
Can't wait to see Albania! Its funny that you guys enjoy airport showers. It made me cringe because im a truck driver and I'm not a fan of showering in random truck stops. Fortunately I'm home 99% of the time and don't have to. Wear flip flops! Lol!
They are actually super clean and they give you disposable shoes for showering! So it’s actually quiet nice :) I love showers and I although I don’t necessarily see a need for showing on a direct flight, Dow most flights have many connections because of the lack of daily flights so for a multi leg travel day I’d definitely always try to take one. On another note, the truck stops and gas stations in the Balkans and in Turkey are so so so much nicer. Than the states, especially Shell. Shell abroad is super fancy, even has a restaurant many times modern and clean. So surprising, make awesome coffee and espresso, unlike US gas station coffee haha
Amy is working an the upcoming albania videos, trying to catch up because we were go go go haha. We keep saying we want to try daily vloging for a month but can’t imagine how people go go go and make videos in the same day. What are your thoughts on daily vlogs in 2020? Is there still an appeal to watch daily, most OG travelers did them for a bit but all stoped at one point or another.
@@DjusLife hey now, I like my American truck stop coffee haha. But I do drink Italian espresso at home. Im a boujie trucker. Sushi for lunch lol
Yum! We love coffee ☕️ we love sushi 🍣 I’m not hating we just saw a big quality difference US vs all the countries we’ve been to so far haha
I’m sure it’s not true everywhere :)
We always get caught out straight away needing cash in a new country too. Well done for 2 weeks in hostels without a private bathroom. We manage a few days at a time then get sick of the lack of personal space😅
We usually are good few days at a time too but we were waiting for a replacement bank card coming from the states so we had to stay there much longer . All is well though :)
You would be great at van life
Thanks! I, Yev, have wanted to do van life for a few years now but we decided to do international travel instead (decision making prior to the pandemic obviously ) we also considered going home from Japan and doing van life, seems like all the travel vloggers transitioned into van life now. Who knows maybe one day. I think we would have fun and make fun videos if we ever were to do that :)
I can get a feel for how difficult it is from your video, but how hard was it to travel? What kind of steps did you have to take beforehand?
The hardest things right now is how much restrictions change all the time and even trying to fly ing from Ukraine to any of the Balkan counties had at least three connecting flights with self transfers which we couldn't do as US citizens. We wanted to reduce the amount of travel hours as much as possible and found the only nonstop flight to an open country from Kyiv which was albania so we took it. Flights from Kyiv to croatia for example were 25hrs 3 stops for example which is crazy.
@@DjusLife Wow that is crazy. We've been trying to travel locally, but we really want to take some big trips. It's so nerve-racking getting stuck anywhere. Like you said, restrictions change so much.
Where's are you guys currently? We always assess if a country we are looking to go to would be okay to get sick in if something was to happen suddenly now
@@DjusLife That's good advice. We're currently in Va. It doesn't help that one of us, Tony, is in the military so he's really restricted to where he can go or get stuck should it happen.
Oh yes thats a whole new level of restrictions on top of all the other ones
Shampoo made your hair fall out?! 😱
It did! Crazy, both of our hair started falling out which is very strange for yevhen. Hoping to restore health to our hair by giving it time
Yessss It was so scary 😦 and then I didnt know what shampoo to trust 🥴 I think if we get back to the US Ill but some solid form shampoo to travel with cause I definitely dont want to risk that again. Yikes 😬 the hotel and airbnb shampoos have all been fine since. Hallelujah. So glad I can braid it and cover it up for the most part!!
@@DjusLife solid shampoo is a good idea. Scary to think what might have been in the shampoo to do that to you both 😱
I Know! We have no clue but so very grateful it stopped!
hmmm....i dont remember the last time i used shampoo....we might have different hair goals though ;)
I, yevhen, don't always wash with a shampoo either but I think it's a bit of different need for Amy considering her long hair and how she styles it :)
