In 2023 we retired early to travel abroad in winters and live in our van in summers in Canada. We exchanged our corporate jobs, family home and most of our worldly possessions to commence a life of travel and adventure. We decided to document our journey to show you different corners of the globe through our lens, giving our travel tips, food reviews, expense breakdowns and sharing our overall experiences. In the Canadian summers, we will bring you highlights of our beautiful country and share our travels and real life experiences of living full-time in our converted van.
If you are curious about early retirement, slow travel, new cultures and cuisine, van life and a nomadic, minimalist lifestyle, then we hope you will consider subscribing to our channel and following our adventures. So off we go - armed with a positive mindset, our bare necessities, some camera and tech gear, and a sense of humour, we hope to entertain, teach and inspire you through our channel. CHEERS!! 🥂

Do you think the photo has yo be passport quality with no shadows etc.?
Great question! No, the photo should be clear and against a plain background, but they aren’t too picky. Don’t worry about a bit of a shadow.
It is still working in 2025?
Yes, the process is the same! Cheers!
Lots of history for you to experience. Enjoyed this video. Another spot to add to our list. 💚
Maybe add it to the list in spring or fall LOL!! Fabulous and interesting city for sure!! Thanks for watching John! ❤️
Great Video! Good for you for licking the salt! LOL😂. Cheers Chris and Jim
Thank you for watching! I knew I would regret it if I didn't! LOL. Cheers to you both! 🥂
My friend is currently travelling in Vietnam (from Canada) and bought a physical sim when he arrived. His Whatsapp still works?!! Is this something that maybe has changed recently, since you produced this video? I am meeting up with him next week, but I can 100% vouch that it is working, for that is how I have been communicating with him in Vietnam. He still has his Canadian number, for he is only there for 5 weeks, but it is currently deactivated, for he has the Canadian sim removed and is not using it there. Thanks for the very informative video, love this advice.
Great question, but yes his WhatsApp will still work. We will try to clarify: WhatsApp gets set up and is associated with your phone number from your cellular provider when you set it up. So even when you are travelling and have your home SIM deactivated, it does still work. That is actuallu what it is set up to do - to allow you to communicate as you travel to others with the app. In fact, we were still able to use our WhatsApp once we gave up our Canadian phone numbers, HOWEVER the issue is that once that number was reassigned to someone else, IF they set up WhatApp, they would have actually "taken over" our account (with all of our contacts, messaging history etc) and we would have been locked out. WhatsApp will NOT allow you to change your associated phone number to a SIM that is NOT associated with a cellular provider (like Rogers, Bell etc). So for anyone who is simply travelling, using a physical or SIM while they travel and returning home with their Canadian phone number, they will be ABSOLUTELY fine!! Our discussion about this in the video was for people who were considering ditching their Canadian phone number while long term travelling - because it poses this challenge with WhatsApp if you don't keep your number in Canada. We hope this helps clarify. Enjoy your time in Vietnam!! You will LOVE it! We were in Da Nang a year ago ❤️🇻🇳
Ahhh, thanks for the clarification. Appreciate it.
Great video, Mitch & Jan! My husband and I definitely want to visit that area someday as well. We appreciate your video and the information that you shared. 👍🏼 -Noelle and Jonathan
Thank you so much guys! Definitely a great city and area to check out. There is an endless amount to do and something for everyone! Definitely much more thatn we could even cover in this video!! Cheers!
Znów zapiekanka i pierogi 🙄 Spróbujcie maczanki krakowskiej... Poza tym w Krakowie to są obwarzanki, nie precle (to niemiecka receptura, też są bardzo smaczne) czy bajgle - żydowskie wypieki, podobne, lecz to nie to... Plusy za brak tatuaży na dłoniach
When in Poland, we have to try the well known favourites 😄
This was helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for letting us know! Hopefully you read the description for the update on transiting through the UK! 🙂
Is there a link for the place you stayed. Sorry if I missed it.
You didn't miss it. We did not put the link in this video, but here it is so you can check it out: www.airbnb.ca/rooms/6245933?source_impression_id=p3_1738659440_P3LFpLIUnqTLvtV7 Thanks for watching! Cheers! 🥂
@ Thank you!
😊 I thought you left Canada to get away from this weather. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Haha - we did! Sometimes, the best adventures take you to the coldest places! 😄. We likely won't do that again (at least not for a month!). Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your adventures. We are going to Alicante then Madrid for a week this February.
Thank you for watching!! Enjoy Alicante and Madrid! They are beautiful places! We went to both last year. If you love food, you will love the tapas in Madrid - highly recommend the food tour we did if you want to find hidden gems and love tapas! Alicante is a beautiful beach town! Excited for you! Cheers! 🥂
So nice to see you had some family join you, nothing better. A timely reminder of a horrible chapter in history when hate and division ruled rather than love and unity! Lest we forget. 🇨🇦🙏🏻
It is fun to have family come visit when we are out travelling the world! Nice to share some places with loved ones for sure ❤️ Auschwitz was hard and heavy, but so moving and an important part of history. 🙏🏻💔
Loved the video, but boy was that a cold time of year to visit. We almost went to the salt mines, but instead decided to visit some of the local museums. Glad you decided to lick the wall 😁Our video will drop in a couple of weeks -we're slowing down our posting schedule. Hope life in Portugal is much warmer -Chris
Hey guys! Yes, it was a bit crisp that time of year! Can't wait to see your video, we love seeing what you guys get up to! Portugal is much warmer and much sunnier! LOL. Cheers guys!
Great video guys! We went to krakow a few years back and loved it so much we’re going again in August this year. The Christmas markets were on when we were there in the square so it was nice to see it open up. Are you off to Warsaw also and then Germany?
Thank you so much!! We did go with the Christmas Market as a highlight and then explored form there. We may do more markets next year, but after Poland its off to warmer places again - currently in Portugal!!
Great vlog...I want to go not only for the beautiful city, but for the history we must not forget...Very moving!
Thank yo so much! Definitely a dark history so close to a beautiful city full of history! Thanks for watching!
Looks lovely but I think I would choose a different season! LOL!! I’m sitting here watching too much snow falling outside in NS! Maybe the vodka would help. 😂
We agree Lori! Next time we will visit at a warmer time of year! The Christmas Market was worth it though! LOL. Vodka and hot wine definitely help!! LOL 😂🥂
Polish food is No. 1 :) you must try more delicious things :)
It was surprisingly delicious! We needed another month to try it all!! 😂
Looks absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing, guys! 🍻
Thank you for watching and commenting guys!! Cheers! 🍻
Super, zapraszamy do kolejnych pięknych miejsc w Polsce❤ PL podbija zasiegi 😉
Thank you so much!! We definitely want to return and explore more of Poland! It has so much to offer! ❤️
Wow! You two almost make us want to go there, but...the snow is a little scary. lol😂😂 Another fabulous video, thank you ❤
Thank you guys!! May we recommend Poland in the summer! 😂 We think that is when we will return next time!! LOL. Thanks for watching!!
❤perfect idea @@mitchandjan
Please don’t drop your phone in the water!
LOL!! Phone is safe and dry!! No phones were hurt in the filming of this video!! 😂
I hope you enjoy in Poland 💪😎🇵🇱
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed Poland! 🇵🇱
Looks amazing. I’ll be in Krakow in April who did you tour with?
Krakow should be lovely in April. We linked the tour in the description of the video (it was booked through Voator) many to choose from, but this had the best itinerary, included hotel pick up and had an outstanding host/guide, Mirek! and wonderful clean Mercedes van/bus and great driver!
when you record in europe set you camera 25 frames u get no blinking from led lights
Thank you for the tip! 👍🏻 Very kind of you, we will try that!
@@mitchandjan well it took me some time to figure this out usa and America 30 frames
chocholow, nice, cool vlog i recorded like 2 vlogs there nice channel you were here before like major snowfall
Thank you! Yes, we were there during a minor snowfall! LOL
@@mitchandjan a you came With a trip i see
O Pinokio!
Another great video! I am surprised to see you visiting Poland in the winter months, do either of you have a familial relationship to Poland?
Thank you! We were a little surprised too, but the plan started because of wanting to visit the Christmas market and then went from there! We also thought that we would appreciate a cooler, possibly white Christmas that we were missing in Canada! LOL. No family ties or roots in Poland!
😊
❤️
I love Zakopane, I’m in my 40s now and I still see my trip to Zakopane as the best time I ever had! The best trip hands down, however, I went in the summer, it’s sad that you didn’t get to experience the views from Gubałuwka because of weather, it’s something you usually don’t even think about.
Its a very beautiful place any time of year I am sure! It was too bad about the views, but the snow added a cozy and Christmassy atmosphere! Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing it's on the list of places to visit. Great video! Cheers Chris and Jim
Thanks guys! It is a beautiful place to visit. We would like to explore more in warmer weather! LOL.
What a charming city and fantastic day trip. Great video...loved the music you paired with the video. Chris and Stephanie
Thanks guys! Can't wait to see what you got up to in Krakow!
Dear friends, obwarzanki krakowskie come from the late Middle Ages. They appear in accounts of the royal kitchen in the 14th century. Bagels are also a Krakow baked goods. Jews from Krakow received the privilege of baking this cake in the 17th century. Emigrants brought them to the USA and Canada.
Wow! So much history in that delicious obwarzanki!!
I will tell you an interesting fact that not far from Zakopane, in the village of Dębno (near the town of Nowy Targ), there is a wooden church (UNESCO heritage site) which in its current form was built more or less in the same years when Christopher Columbus sailed to the Caribbean, discovering America in search of a route to India.
Oh wow! Wish we had seen that piece of history! So much great history in the area!! ❤️
@@mitchandjan It's a pity because right next door in the village of Niedzica is the Dunajec Castle from the 14th century (once guarding the Polish-Hungarian border). An interesting fact is that an Inca knot letter was accidentally found in this castle during renovation. Supposedly, according to legend, this letter speaks of a hidden treasure. Looking for an explanation of how the document from South America ended up there, it turned out that the owners of the castle had been hiding an Inca princess who had married a Spaniard for some time. Supposedly, because of the knowledge about the treasure, they had to hide from those who wanted to take it away and murder them. In the summer, there is a great bike trail there and you can also take a 2.5-hour rafting trip on the Dunajec River
You guys look 10 years younger. Must be cold weather!😂
Hahaha! It puts a little colour in the cheeks! 😉
Świetny film. Cieszę się, że smakowało polskie jedzenie. Pozdrawiam Was !!! Na zdrowie ;)

We had heard that there was some people experience a glitch with payment while using the app. We hoped they had fixed it. If you try a few times and the payment still does not work, we suggest switching to applying ONLINE rather than the app. We have heard this works. Hopefully this helps! 🙏🏻
