Road Trip to TURKEY: 4-Day Travel Adventure (Caucasus to Anatolia)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Travel Vlog Documentary. 🇦🇲🇬🇪🇹🇷 Join us on a thrilling 2,000-kilometer ROAD TRIP from Armenia/Georgia to Turkey, across the ex-Soviet Caucasus to Far East Anatolia.
It's an incredible road trip from Armenia to Türkiye, where 2 countries share a land border, but NO DIRECT ROAD (which takes us on a detour through Georgia)!
A captivating journey with unpredictable troubles along the way, including problems with contaminated diesel fuel and complex border crossings (emigrating from Armenia turns out to be more complicated than expected). Finding gas, shelter and food in remote areas of the Caucasus & Far East Turkey is another difficulty during our trip.
Our travel adventure starts in Yerevan, we navigate through the Caucasus, we pass through cities like Gyumri, we venture into remote areas, we pass through Georgia and we drive through Eastern & Central Anatolia (including a visit to the capital Ankara) with the goal of arriving at our final destination Düzce in the Black Sea region.
How will our "roadtrip disaster" end? Will we make it to our final destination in the Black Sea region? Will our car survive the dirty diesel?
Experience the ups and downs, the uncertainties, and the breathtaking views of the diverse beauty of Armenia, Georgia and Turkey right outside our car windows!
Thank you for watching!

👩🏼🧔🏻 WHO ARE WE?
Hi, we're Nicole from Austria/Germany and Roberto from Switzerland/Italy! We believe that traveling is more than just sightseeing! When we travel, we look for spontaneous and AUTHENTIC ENCOUNTERS with THE LOCAL LIFE (and local people of all backgrounds) in other cultures, the country (nature, villages, cities) and the food. Our travels are about uncovering the REAL & UNSCRIPTED LIFE in each destination, with all its sunny & shady sides! We try to find out what really makes each country unique, beyond the postcard-perfect images.
Thank you for being part of this journey! It means everything to us.

Türkiye'ye hoş geldiniz. Sizin için zor bir yolculuk olmuş ama hazırladığınız video izlenmeye değer. Harika manzaraları çok başarılı kaydederek sunuyorsunuz. Türkiye'nin Doğu Anadolu bölgesi gerçekten de etkileyici manzaralara sahiptir ve bu mevsimde genellikle soğuktur. Aracınız bu uzun yolda yine de iyi dayanmış. Umarım bundan sonra yolunuza sorunsuz devam edersiniz. 🖐🖐👍
Nazik yorumunuz için çok çok teşekkürler! Videolarımızdan birini daha izlemiş olmanız bizim için çok anlamlı. Türkiye harika, insanlar eşsiz derecede misafirperver ve Anadolu çok güzeldi. İyi dilekleriniz için teşekkür ederiz! 😇 En iyi dileklerimizle! 🫶
25:00, when driving like this in türkiye, i recommend driving on the hard shoulder as other drivers can get angry that you block one lane.

nice journey 😊
Dear Mehmet, thank you so much for joining us! 💕🤗🤗💕
I liked, voted and subscribed for even more from your really pure feeling style travel experiences, you princess are amazingly pretty but very good teller and well skilled for any kind travel adventures! On the other hands, keep in mind this, for your next longer or alike crossing uncommon regions: despite engines theory which states that the diesel is more robust and powerful, the gasoline may better handle these tricky fuel related damages on the fly! That is because it is easier to burn on the fly those garbage particles in tricky fuel mixtures by higher gasoline engine process temperature than in diesel engines which work by lower internal temperature also basing on very sensitive to any clogs garbage or moisture due to much thinner injection pipes they are builtin with etc So in alike uncertain fuels, avoiding modern diesels is a must have! Anyway also many thanks for inspiring as I also intend soon a longer drive from my country (Yes, I am from Transylvania of Romania you already visited!😎) up to ...marvels of China Li river etc so your infos were very precious especially along these rarely crossed by europeans countries! PS. However I disregarded and disliked your too risky accelerating those long downhills aiming to stupidly try compensate your time delays by that engine fail! Did you ever know that you could very easily go...dead as no more able to get based on that only must use native engine braking since your damaged engine could no more allow higher rotation speed self risen by any engine braking when go down long slopes?? Take infinite care with next time!
Dear Laurentiu, how sweet … your wonderful words are like honey on our souls and hearts! 🍯💓 Thank you so much for your support, feedback, and subscribing to our channel! We're very happy that you like our travel stories. And your insights about diesel and gasoline engines and so on are very valuable … Your care and attention is so lovely, again - thank you! ALL THE BEST for your upcoming adventure from magical Transylvania to China! Stay safe, take care, and HAPPY TRAVELS! 🤗🤗😘😘
Ahh, what a Small nice couple of encorrectible optimists! How and where u could find each other?:0)))I spent a big part of my life in Turkey and watch after your travel with feeling "it reminds me...", as if I were again full of energy, very pleasant feeling, I am all thanks! :0)
Dear Irina, thank you for brightening our day with your lovely message! We are so happy that our journey has brought back wonderful memories to you ♥️🇹🇷 … Thank you so much for having accompanied us on this journey! Feel embraced, we hope to see you again! Have a happy start to the new week! Much love to you! 🫶
thank you
Dear Umut, we thank YOU! 🙏🫶
Wow; I don't know where to begin! I guess first of all I will say that I missed you guys. Second, I am so sorry that you encountered car problems. I love it when you do videos in the region of which you traveled. The scenery was simply epic.. You were very fortunate to find lodging & that meal from those lovely people who shared their supper table with you. A big kudos to those people. Good things happen to good people. Did you get your car repaired? What was the problem? I hope that I don't have to wait so long for the next video. God Bless!! Have a beautiful day!! Cheers!! Illinois, USA
We are so happy to read from you! 😍 We've missed you too, Larry! 😊 A BIG WARM HUG to you, our dear friend from Illinois! 🤗🤗🇺🇸 Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment and your concern! 💕 As for the car, it turned out to be the Diesel particulate filter. Luckily, it seems as if it has cleaned itself while we were driving 🤔🫣😅 … so we can continue our journey for now! 🙏 But we'll definitely have to fully check the car once we're back home. 😅 We promise not to keep you waiting too long for the next video! 👍 We send you much love & blessings! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏻♂️😘😘✨✨
I had a gut hunch that the car might remedy itself as you were refilling diesel fuel.I thought when I seen you guys filling up @ that old pump that this might not go well. I'm not saying that someone conspired on purpose. Over here as in many parts of the world they are required by law to have pre-filters on the pumps. The pump where you filled up with the bad fuel was ancient. My only confusion & not meaning to chastise you is why you don't carry hidden cash somewhere; whether on your person with a money belt or hidden in your vehicle. I still love you guys having voiced my confusion. Have a blessed day my friends!! Cheers!! Illinois, USA@@goingtoworld
Our dear friend Larry, hihi … we love you too ☺️🥰 … we're very grateful to have you "virtually" with us on our journey 🚗🌟😇 and we appreciate your genuine care & support & tips! 😎👨🏻🔧🕵🏻♂️🙏 Have a blessed day too, and cheers to Illinois! 🤗🤗🇺🇸
Oh my goodness guys list any other little bit bad luck, hope everything's going to be fine nice to see you back ciao
Caro Giuseppe! So nice to read from you again! 💌 Yes, we've had some ups and downs along the way … but we're staying positive! 😅 Thanks for sticking with us through it all. Ciao & tanti cari saluti! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏻♂️

Hello dear Nicole & Roberto (I don't even know if I can address you like this)🧡 I just want you to know that I am thinking of you and I hope you had a peaceful Easter and I believe you are both fine 🙏🍀
Dear Verell (is that your name?) Thank you so much for your heartfelt message. 🥰🥰 Yes, you can absolutely call us Nicole & Roberto! You know, your messages always warm our hearts! ❤️🔥 Easter was peaceful, thank you, we hope you also have a good time full of love & peace. Sending endless blessings and big hugs your way! 🌎😇🤗🌏😇🤗🌍
@@goingtoworld Dear Nicole & Roberto, thank you very much for your beautiful words ..my name is Vittorio - Marcus Verrelli ( name coming from old name Wasseli ) Nettancourt-Vaubécourt d’Haussonville hence the nickname Verrel Wassko - for my acquaintances (and of course also for you) I'm just Marcus..And thank you , ..yes, I had a nice time on Easter, calm and with love
Dear Marcus! Wow, we are amazed, thank you so much for sharing your fascinating "history" with us, we would have never imagined what lies behind your nickname "Verrel Wassko". So you have roots in Italy, France & Eastern Europe? We hope you continue to find moments of peace, joy & love!!! Thanks for your virtual friendship & support! 🫶
@@goingtoworld yes.. my father was Italian - Verrelli, my great-great grandmother was from France,( from ther is other part of my nam) but my mother was from Slovakia, when my mother married my father, she changed her name after her great-grandmother .so my blood is as thick as stew ( goulash ) 🙂🙂. that's the reason why I speak French, Italian, Slovak + 6 other languages.. for now, enough about me and my family. And I will look forward to the fact that maybe one day this friendship will not only be virtual... that we will all meet somewhere... And thanks again for the kind words🧡🧡
Dear Marcus! Your family history is really fascinating (and your language skills are amazing!), we are sure there would be much more to tell … Maybe one day our ways will cross and our virtual friendship could turn into a real-life meeting! Until then, let's stay connected. ♥️ Thank you for being with us on our journeys! ♥️
Come to Brazil and you will gain thousands of Brazilian followers❤
Dear Matheus, you put a big smile on our faces! A thousand thanks for your sweet words! We have already been to Brazil (before we started with RUclips - you can see it on our Instagram). We loved it 😍 and we will definitely be back to make a video! 🥰🫶🇧🇷

Hello are you sure the issue was bad diesel? Looks like from how the car drives could be the turbodiesel turbine
Hello Matteo, thank you very much for your input! 👨🏻🔧 Yes, our diagnosis pointed towards a problem with the diesel particulate filter … Thanks again for your insight and your support! Have a nice Sunday! ✨
At first I apologize for my poor English , and I believe that what I write will be understandable for you ... I wanted to write that I am very sorry for what you were going through, but finally I understood that the whole thing hardened you, gave you strength, despite the worries about whether you would reach the destination with the car, you romantically describe the landscape.I watched the whole video tensely, and all the time I kept my fingers crossed for you.. You are an incredibly cool couple 👍👍👍👍🧡🧡.For me it was an amazing video, but for you it was a bit of a passage through the gate of a small hell to the desired destination
Our dear friend Verell 😇 Your English is just perfect, no need to apologize!!!!!!!! We always LOVE your messages! They come from your heart and go straight to our hearts! 💘💘 Thanks a million for your empathy and your support throughout our journey(s). Knowing that you were watching the video so closely and that you were feeling for us means the world to us! 🥰🥰 Thank you for your incredibly kind words! We're glad and we're honored to have you with us. Sending you lots of love and gratitude! 🙏💕🌟
@@goingtoworld I thank to you,🙏🙏🧡🧡 that through your videos I can "travel" and get to know countries I've never been to. ..I realize that my English language is not the best, I'm not English.. I watch every video of yours carefully, (when I don't have time to watch right away, I watch the video later just so I can watch carefully) .. You both are a great couple, you complement each other, that's why you can handle difficult journeys and the problems associated with them. You show the life of the country you are in, how people live, you show their customs and household. They are not videos from luxury hotels - they are more about life, videos from which you can hear the heartbeat .. PS : from which canton in Switzerland are you
Hi Verell- I second their remarks about you. Trust me when I tell you that your written English is far better than a good part of the people here in the U.S.. I congratulate you my friend. Keep up the good work! Have a beautiful day!!! Cheers!! Illinois, USA@@9vmarcus
Dear Verell, THANKS A MILLION for your warm & sincere support! We have no words to express how much your appreciation means to us … Your English is wonderful, and we're very happy that the algorithm has suggested our video to you. You enrich our community and make it worth for us to create videos . We're touched to hear that you even make time to watch our videos carefully … we notice that you are a true & loyal friend who "feels" us and the way we travel. As for your question, we're from the Canton of Graubünden (Grisons) in Switzerland. Thank you again for your lovely message, and we hope to continue sharing many more journeys with you! 💖
@@larrywade9041 wow.! . I am appreciate from your words.. thank you very much🧡🧡
in Romania language: Da am avut aceste probleme cu masina de la motorina din Moldova cu masina lui tata iar mecanicii spuneau ca trebuie schimbata rampa de injectie si chiar injectoarele si ar fi 1400Euro dar tata a incercat cu cea mai usoara solutie si sa schimbe filtru de motorina care a costat 50Euro si masina a mers normal, dar am avut exact aceasi problema ca masina nu mergea cu o viteza mare si uneori se oprea din mers dar pornea inapoi
si in concluzie masina a mers foarte bine dupa inlocuriea filtrului de motorina si am pus motorina de calitate de la OMV Romania iar masina merge si acum foarte bine, ma rog dupa a facut si o curatare al DPF ului ca sa fie sigur ca masina e intr-o stare buna
Multumesc pentru comentariul tau! Foarte interesant să aud că ai avut aceeași problemă și ai reușit să o rezolvi bine! 😇
Mulțumesc, mulțumesc, mulțumesc, mulțumesc, mulțumesc pentru sfaturi! Vă dorim toate cele bune! 🚗😇 Pe curând! 🫶
May I ask what is your destination after Türkiye?
Thank you for your question, Ismail, after Türkiye, the journey takes a turn to a subcontinent where most of the people on Earth live. 🕵🏻♂️☺️🙌🧡🤍💚
дороги в Турции как в Европе
@@abdullah4130Dude what did you expect.
You should have cancelled the DPF, its only purpose is to reduce emissions.
Hello Mihai, thanks for watching and thanks for your advice. 😅😇
The Soviet Union ended 33 years ago. I really don't understand what goes on in the heads of people who still write "ex-soviet union".
No, we mostly use gas here in Canada. I had to google to know what diesel is 😅
Hi TeleJolo! 😁 Your insight is absolutely eye-opening for us, thank you! ⛽️🧐😅 We appreciate you taking the time to watch our video (even without fully grasping our thumbnail!) 😅🚗💨 Sending our best wishes and lots of love to Canada! ♥️🫶🇨🇦

No turkey yrs Türkiye
Toyota 💪👍🏼
😅😇🤗
First of all, I have to say that I disagree with some of your statements. Turkey and Armenia are not enemy countries. It is true that we have some serious political problems. One of the most important of these is the Karabakh issue, which caused the border crossing to be closed. But it is not possible for the people of the two countries to be enemies. Also, as a Turk, I can easily say that there is no vehicle that cannot be repaired in any city in Turkey. In every city, there are big areas with car repair services. If you go to these repair shops instead of the authorized toyota service, they will repair your vehicle. I wish you a nice journey.
Merhaba Mustafa, thank you for your comment. You're absolutely right, there are political tensions between Turkey and Armenia, but it's important to recognize that the people of both countries are not always enemies. 🕊 Unfortunately, when it came to the car situation, we faced problems. Despite checking several car repair shops and the Toyota garage in Erzurum, we couldn't find any options. Perhaps with your help, we might have been more successful. 😇 Thank you very much for your good wishes, we wish you all the best as well! 🌟
