Whoa ok I need to come back so I can try all of these! I did see a lot of banana in chocolate bars but I thought they might taste gross so I didn't buy any 😆

Not sure, haven't toured the world yet 😆

My two biggest expenses were the rental car and the lodging, so I would think the best way to cut back on expenses would be the lodging. I did see some nice campgrounds, but that was mostly in Slovenia. I don't know much about camping in the other countries but I did a little google search and it looks like there are options. You could even mix it up a bit with camping some days and apartments/hotels on other days??

@@roamingwithalyssa Thank you. Did you explore the option for mixing it up with the transport ? I.e. using public transport locally and rent as needed and then use bus/train to cross borders? Or do you think having a car gives you the most flexibility to visit off the beaten path ?

@@aamert I knew I wanted a car with me the whole time because I like the flexibility of going wherever I want whenever I want so I didn't do any public transportation. But when I was doing research I did see that it's common to get around by bus so I'm sure it's certainly doable. I don't think trains are really a thing in the balkans. If you are able to afford it I would personally go for a rental car because it gives you so much more freedom. You can leave when you want, stop when you want, pull over to take in views or explore a town if you want, etc. I'm not sure which countries you plan on going to, but the reason I flew into Slovenia and got a car there is because (at the time) it was the cheapest option for me as far as flights and rental prices go.

Wow! Did you see anything interesting or creepy in there? I would have loved to explore inside. They had it boarded up so well and too many people walking around to do it though.

It was called Cabalgata en Patagonia ☺🐴

@@roamingwithalyssa thank you!

I was on a time crunch...couldn't hit them all 🤷‍♀

@@roamingwithalyssa oh I thought you purposely skipped it because…. Well you know 1998

@@livingdays8706 haha no, not on purpose. Just logistical reasons. I'm sure I'll make my way there eventually!

Yeah my translator app wasn't working in the store, but next time I'll be more careful with the cheeses 😆

Oh wow! How long have you lived there?

@@roamingwithalyssa Moved from Manhattan about 4 years ago ,I have friends who bought a house here and some land that it is on.From a 24 hour city to a ghost town gee! what's wrong with this picture,lol 😆.

@@Eddie-ds4cw Dang that's quite a change!

@@roamingwithalyssa yep!

glad you like it!

Yes, you can certainly drive in the park. You don't need a special permit to drive in there, all you need to do is pay the entrance fee for each person. You can do that online beforehand and they'll email you the entrance ticket. I believe the ticket is good for 72 hours.

Thanks ​@@roamingwithalyssa

ok 🤷‍♀

boy you really taught me a lesson. I'm going to go self flagellate now

Whoa!!!

@@spidernose For a small ghost of a town it is a pretty big business.

@@Eddie-ds4cw Yeah I was over there on Thursday.

Yes, random selection but I just grabbed whatever looked interesting at the store. Anything I've never tried before 😆

Wow that central Europe road trip you did sounds great! Yes, bouncing from city to city is tiring. I'm on a 3 week baltics road trip right now and moving towns every 2-3 days. Way too fast!

Wow thanks I'm glad you've found them helpful! That would be fun to meet up someday...always great to meet likeminded travelers 😄. You guys will have a great time! I actually did the opposite and spent 3 nights in Mostar and 2 nights in Sarajevo haha. But I don't think you can go wrong either way. There is more to see in Sarajevo but I liked the vibe of Mostar better. As far as Dubrovnik goes, I was there about ten years ago so my memory isn't so fresh. I remember it was quite crowded. I really liked Montenegro in general and thought Kotor was beautiful. There will be more to see and do in Dubrovnik of course, but I prefer less crowds even if it means less attractions which is why I would pick Kotor. If you wanted to squeeze Montenegro in you might consider cutting a day in Sarajevo and spending 2 nights in Dubrovnik instead. It's a couple hours drive to Kotor so you could fit in a day trip there?? Or a night in Dubrovnik and a night in Montenegro? I don't know if that's helpful or not...just my 2 cents!! And I don't think you can go wrong no matter what you settle on...they're all great places! Let me know if you have any other questions 😄

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope you have the chance to do a road trip like that!

I'm glad you found it helpful! Wow a 17 day road trip will be fun! I personally would focus on seeing a smaller area like Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia. I know it's tempting to fit in as many places as you can, but I think it would feel quite tiring to be racing from place to place. A lot of times the drives took longer than planned, and driving in that region is tiring in general because you always have to be on alert due to bad roads and crazy drivers. I think you will enjoy yourself more and get more of a feel for the places you go if you stick to just a few countries. Let me know if you have any other questions!

@@roamingwithalyssa so I shouldn’t have just reserved 14 hotel rooms in 7 different countries 🫠. Thanks for the info. Really digging this roadtrip series!

@@carl-parkerhansen2449 Ha!! Wow well that is certainly going to be an adventure 🤣🤣🤣

I haven't been to Serbia or Albania (I've heard really good things about Albania though), but out of the countries I did go to Bosnia was my favorite!

Haha yes a lot of generic eateries here. Mexican food is the bomb! Pretty much the only time I go out to eat is if a taco truck is involved 😆.

Thank you!! Well, I wish I could post really consistently but I just have not had any free time lately to work on my videos 😒. I'm going to try to get back on track though!

Ha!

Interesting, thanks for the info! Yes I knew it was going to be cheap tasting but I only wanted a little sample sized bottle and that was the only one I could find 😆

Yes they have the windows boarded up really well. I am sure it's toxic in there!

Wow thank YOU so much! That is a great compliment! I am glad you found it useful.

Agreed. Super helpful

Thanks!!

Thanks!!!

Thank you!

Yes I took the M6 and it went along the river for parts of it.

Glad you liked it!

Hi! Wow that sucks that storm season has been so bad there. We've definitely had years like that too 😔

Ha! I think so too😂

@@roamingwithalyssa Next time when you go to Slovakia, let me know, and I will send you a list of goodies.

Will do! @@RichardHorcik333

Well it would really depend on where you pick it up and who you rent with, but for my rental with the taxes and border crossing fees and everything else, it was around 30 euros a day. I also had an automatic transmission which costs more than if you rented a manual. I considered a one-way rental but it would have added at least a few hundred extra euros to the cost!

I know it was a baby flash flood but I was soo excited haha. Yes that huge rotating one would have been crazy if it actually turned into something!

Well, we weren't sure how that was going to go, but they ended up not charging us anything. So either they just didn't pay attention to the dents or they didn't care 😄

Wow thank you!!!

Wow thank you! I loved it too...feels like a hidden gem.

Wow thanks! Ok if you're into urban exploration, Slovakia is like a treasure trove. If you have enough time and a car to explore outside of Bratislava, there are some really cool abandoned places to see there.

Yeah it was pretty amazing! Even more so in real life...only captured a fraction of the lightning we saw that night. Hmmm that's interesting about the can opener.

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too 🌟

​@@roamingwithalyssa Your more than welcome. Hey, do you have a PO box? I found something for you, that you might like when making your spaghetti soup I hope you would like. Or would Chris forward it to you if I send it to them.

Thank you!!
