Storytime: Why I am not going to fly with Wizz Air again ✈️
I have been flying with budget airlines for years and generally I do not complain easily. This time with Wizz Air was different. The way they treated their customers gave me a bad freeling for the whole 5-hour flight and I could not wait it to be over. However, luckily my next flight was with one of my favorites, Etihad. Thaks guys! Definitley will be choosing to fly with Etihad whenever possible.

After traveling full time for 7 months, it was time to go back home. I have been spending quite a lot of time in the nature, but Kõrvemaa area is definitely one of my favorites as you can really walk for days there without seeing no farm houses or villages :)
I just did not want to travel any more.

6 months ago I started traveling full time as a digital nomad, freelancing my way from one country to another. It took a lot of courage to actually make this step and I initially thought that maybe I do not like the lifestyle and might be back at home after 6 months.

After volunteering with worldpackers at the boarding school for 3,5 weeks, I was ready to leave and to get some sleep. As we did not have AC at the school and it was one of the hottest times in Cambodia, it was more and more difficult to get quality sleep. And while I am used to function on quite less sleep, it accumulated and it took me one full week to get out of this state. Also. Yep, I over...

This is how the airlines make money. Fees.
Yep. But some other airlines can also remain polite while making their money ☀️
hi, i come over to chiang mai since you are staying there we should meet
Hi! I’m already in Sri Lanka, you can see my latest video ☀️
Cody is a beast! Love that guy!
Yep he is ☀️
Thanks for the vid ! What do you think happens if I overstay 3-4 days ? Only fine involved or also blacklisted from cambodia ? They take in seriously or just pay the fine & all good ?
According to my research, the answer is like that: "For overstays of less than 30 days you just pay at passport control when getting stamped out, even though there are signs saying "No money to be paid here" (or something along those lines). $10 per day, no questions asked." However, according to what I read, where the risk is: if you are stopped by police during the time of staying without visa, you might face some tougher consequences. However, I reccommend always to google and look for the very last updates.
Keep it up! ✌️
Thanks! 😊

Very beautiful place
Thank you! Bogs are surreal ☀️
this country looks cool does it have electricity?
Good question 😅 Actually we need to take ferry to Finland whenever we want to charge our devices ☀️ Maybe some smart Dutch engeneers could come and give us a hand and electricity 😅😅😅
Wow, Estonia is wonderful ❤
It really is 😊
Very happy camping
Thanks! Yes, we love being in the nature 🎉
Beautiful place
Thank you! 🇪🇪
Hello from East Tennessee in the USA. We are fans since the beginning of your PCT through hike. After a break in your videos we are glad to see that you are ok and doing well. We always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the comment 😊 I was just little bit burnt out of traveling and video making, but now I feel again like I want to make videos 😊
as a Polish dude I'm fascinated by Estonia..... are you closer to Russia, or Finland.... your language sounds so Nordic
Thanks for the comment! Estonian language is closest to Finnish, we can understand quite a bit and it’s easy to learn it for us. Also Hungarian is in our language tree, but we can not understand it, just the grammat is similar.
@@walkingestonian been listening to Artur Rehi and whenever he spoke Estonian, he never sounded Slavic, hence my question..... but you throwing in a Hungarian twist to Estonian grammar makes me even more interested in how the f... could that happen..... an accident, migration..... or an accident due to migration
@@czarekp3552 Chat GPT helped me out here: 1. Common Ancestry: Both Estonian and Hungarian languages can trace their roots back to a common ancestral language, Proto-Uralic, which is believed to have been spoken around 6,000 years ago in the region near the Ural Mountains. 2. Finno-Ugric Branch: The Uralic language family is divided into two main branches: the Finno-Permic (or Finnic) branch and the Ugric branch. Estonian is part of the Finnic subgroup within the Finno-Permic branch, while Hungarian is part of the Ugric subgroup. This means that while they share a distant common ancestry, the two languages diverged early in their development. 3. Linguistic Features: Despite the differences that have accumulated over time, Estonian and Hungarian still share some linguistic features that hint at their common origin. These features include similarities in grammatical structures, such as the use of agglutination (forming words and grammatical forms by adding affixes to a base), vowel harmony, and certain core vocabulary elements. 4. Geographical Separation: The significant geographical separation and different historical influences have led to substantial divergence. Estonian has been influenced by neighboring Baltic and Germanic languages, while Hungarian has been influenced by Turkic, Slavic, and Germanic languages, among others.
@@walkingestonian that's fascinating, thanks for that
Thank you for sharing your story and being so transparent! I had many similar experiences and feelings.
Thanks for the feedback. It’s two months and home still feels like a holiday 😅
@@walkingestonian I can totally relate. I guess, we made the right decision. 😊
I admire your willingness to be transparent, all with an open heart. ❤😊
Thanks! Whenever you are always honest, there is nothing to attack 🧡
Ha ha, I walked da nang to hoi an along the beach front, took me forever!
It does not feel so much logically, but if it’s hot (and I was also still little sick) then it’s a whole different story for sure 🤭
I am glad you are back home and safe.
Thanks! Yes and appreciating home a lot more for sure 🎊
All travelers get this oftentimes so you did the absolute right thing! Sending you big hugs from here and hope to see you on the road again 😊❤
Thanks! Yep, it’s a very common thing while traveling. The interesting thing is that once it hits you, there is nothing you can do ☀️
Such a wonderful interaction between you and the Vietnamese learning English. So meaningful
Thank you 😊
I hope you will return someday, and at that time I hope it will be summer. You may not know that Drammen is the town in Norway with the most amount of summer days (days with 20+ degrees). It's so nice, warm and green here during summer. :D
Thanks! I have been to Norway during summer also and it was beautiful 😊
That workspace looked awesome. :D How did you end up in the small town of Drammen? :) Why there and not Oslo for example?
One of my best friends from Estonia lives there and therefore I visited him 😊
The second part from Pa Lad to Doi Su Tep, I slipped and fell twice on the way back down hike, but it was a great fun. Cheers.😁👍
O no! I hope that you were OK! It really is a great hike 💛
ผมชอบวีดีโอของคุณครับ ถ่ายออกมาได้สวยงามมากครับ เชียงใหม่วัดเยอะ และสวยมากครับ

เส้นทางเดินป่า น่าสนุกตื่นเต้นมากครับ ขอให้สนุกสนานกับเส้นทางเดินป่าในเชียงใหม่นะครับ
Thank you! It was a really nice hiking trail indeed :)
You got to Nong Khiew but did not go up to the viewpoint? It suppose to be beautiful views of town, the river and mountains.
Yes, I did not do this viewpoint, but it is amazing for sure ☀️
Great video Janika. I have a question if you decide to do another Q&A in the future. How has thru hiking influenced your packing decisions for your extended travels in Asia? It looks like you are travelling with carry on luggage only. How have you found that experience?
Hello! Thanks for a good question :) I can answer here as the next Q&A will take some time. I used to travel for work for 10 years to different countries in Africa, Asia and Europe and very quickly I learnt that I actually only need one small backpack. So I never had any other luggage than 22-30 litres backpack on my worktrips. Also, when hiking, I try to pack lightly and of course the thru hike took it to the next level as I actually bought light gear and saved a lot of weight like that. It was almost ridiculous how few things I carried by the end of my PCT hike. After the thru hike I realised even more how few things we actually need and how much easier it makes the life. So I have been traveling for 6 months with my 22 litre backpack and it's great. I can easily move around and walk everywhere if I want, I am not the "slave" of my big bag which has to be dropped off somewhere first. Also, they flights are way cheaper, faster and stress free with carry on only. However, I am bringing everything I need I am carrying even several luxury items. In general, I have too much stuff and will be sending some back to Estonia with my friend from Singapore very soon. Once you start traveling with carry on only, it is pretty difficult to go back to loads of luggage :)
Love your vids as always and glad that you’re back on the creative mood! Thanks for giving different and new viewpoints about this side in Bali. I feel like that is something that people haven’t mentioned much in terms of the digital nomad world over there 🎉
Thanks! Yes, it has been an experience. Overall it seems that a lot of people want to live in Bali and their remote work goal is to live here. But I understood that I love traveling 😊 so I keep going
"the moment I left the house, I got back my creativity" This is true almost every time with a similar issue 🤔
Yep, it is 😀
Hello sir, Hope you are well .I have already visited your RUclips channel. and analysed the videos. Your videos are great & very nice but your video SEO and optimization are very low. This is a big problem. Because of this your video is not getting views, likes, comments, subscribers and is not going viral .Video uploading is very important for SEO and properly promotion. RUclips channels need SEO and video promotion. If you want, I can create a report on your channel growth . I am waiting for your response. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Welcome to Laos 🇱🇦 ❤❤your videos. Yes is small and nothing much for you to do but I am sure you will enjoy it and relax more than others countries 😂😂❤❤indeed!

Thanks! Enjoy the SEA! 😊
I've followed your videos since you hiked the PCT in the USA. Your video essays are so excellent that I mention them to people I meet. Most recently I mentioned them to someone I met just after the eclipse in the state of Missouri USA. Thank you for sharing and know that my family is watching. May your journeys be safe.
Thank you so much for nice words! It is really encouraging to hear such positive comments. Thank you again :)
Thank you for the video essay of your visit to the site of such a tragic scar on history. There are far too many examples of man's inhumanity to man.
Thanks! Yes, there are and this one is quite recent and not that well known unfortunatley. It was a very interesting day to learn about all that happened.

What is the temperature like?
Temperature depends a lot from the season, in February it was pretty hot, 30+ degrees. However, March and April are even hotter.
No offense the sign say no bikini top right 😂 but i guess just enjoy. How deep are the water? Thank you sharing i am visiting laos shortly. Take care!
Thanks for watching. I was not swimming there / wearing bikinis, but yes, a lot of the people were ignoring different signs there. Water did not look too deep to me.

Thank you! 💛
İt remind me Estonia strangly ( i am from Estonia too , living in Turkey ) , same calm and peaceful. Only no temples . İ love beautiful Estonia and miss so much , especially estonian summers ❤.
I think that’s why it low key felt so nice there… Turkey must also be amazing, I have only been to Istanbul, but have heard only great things from people who have traveled more in Turkey 😊
Looks like more foreigners than local Thai's. Bummer
That might be the case in the city centre and at the night market, but if you step out of these areas, there are more locals. However, why is it a bummer? There are many places in the world that are popular among the tourists and also that can take advantage of this situation.
@@walkingestonian I hear you but I don't travel the world so be surrounded by non-locals
@@user-qd3hh5xu8rgood to know! Which have been your favorite places so far?
wow amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Truly some of the most gorgeous temple ruins I’ve ever seen.
Also, the whole place is massive with 70+ main temples 😊
Awesome channel!

Great ceremony. Laotian people pay homage to Buddha.
Thanks!
I knew already about the Thailand-Cambodia border ground entry point, maybe memories about times of border-runs. There are also gambling sites here and there.Not nice for a "walker". If I have to visit Cambodia I will go by plane and stay near the Angkhor Wat or Thon places. I need a purpose now for visiting countries : is it chill-relax or tourist sight-seeing style ?
Thanks for the comment. Great that you have developed your traveling style. For me the purpose at the moment is to explore the region and different countries :)
