+James Shannon I know what you mean! Yikes! I hope you can visit soon. It's a country that is very friendly to the digital nomad's pocketbook as well :)
+Samuel & Audrey i am a big fan of your channel and videos and i know you both have visited turkey in the past. because i like you both i highly recommend not to visit too soon again. i live there and there is that conflict between 2 groups causing trouble. this is not to scare you. i love my country but its abit dangerous for tourists now. have a nice day and more awesome Videos !.
+Ozan Z. Wrong castel,the real one is Poenari that was built by Vlad,there are around 1300 steps to the castel and is not in good shape,i think that is why Bran is marketed as Dracula's castel.
You guys are amazing btw! where is your next destination taking you? i was planning tel aviv cairo and Damascus next year. ..However due to world events i might head to panama Colombia and Ecuador
The real Dracula Castle is the Poenari Citadel in the Arges County wich is more then 100 km to west. This castle is just for turism atraction but yes, this castle existed in Dracula`s time and for sure he saw it but there are not proof the he lived here, just legends.
I'm literally so happy I'm with Guides in a few weeks we're flying of to Romania and staying in Bran for a week, we even get to sleep in the castle ehhhhhhhhh. I love vampires and myths like I live Twilight and Vampire Dairies. I love the story of Vlad the Impaler, ahhhhhh we're also going to a bear sanctuary so cute and going to sleep in the mountains. I can't wait ahhhhhhhhhhh do beautiful and ahhhhh
OK, so for all you out there, I'm gonna make it simple: 1. There is Vlad Tepes(familly name: Dracul, not Dracula), who had a series of castles in Romania, amongst which Bran Castle. He lived back in the 15th century, and he was real. 2. Dracula is a sci-fi character imagined by Bram Stoker(the author of the novel Dracula), character that was inspired by Vlad Tepes. Actually, Dracula's castle is not in Brasov or Targoviste or anywhere else. It is in Bistrita-Nasaud county of Transilvania, in Pasul Tihuta, most of the novels action takes place in Bistrita-Nasaud county. He describes the Castle that actually exists in Pasul Tihuta (cca. 35 km from Bistrita city). Read the fking novel, and stop mixing Vlad the impaler with Dracula the vampire.
When in Romania do as the Romanians, I guess. The Polenta looks good! I considered visiting Dracula's castle, but I heard it sucked. Okay, that's enough. The dog was adorable, very playful. Audrey's a good sport.
I didn't know that Dracula was real!. Very nice vid. I think same as Samuel. We are very lucky to born in present time. but most important; born in a place with freedom. Some countries don't have that precious privilege.
It amazes me how we all have adapted to this Hmmm...oh, yes....way of life when we try something new to eat, even before we start chewing it we come up with this....Hmmmm...yeah...Hmmm..yes,yes,yes....just to please a host or trying to impress someone how skilled we are in tastes etc.
+ALIENdrifter66. I believe Bran is a tourist trap fake Dracula castle with a bunch of stuff that wasn't original to that castle anyways....made to look spooky and a castle from the 1400s wouldn't be in this shape anyways...I have a good friend who has lived in Romania his entire life and says Bran is fake. Vlad had several homes, but most say Bran is not one of them....tourist trap...FAKE
Great video but I'm a bit concerned about that dog. Sam, please keep an eye on Audrey especially around the full moon...and if she turns into a werewolf, please post the video.
Mici = not sauseges , mămăligă = not realy polenta (different texture) , cașcaval = not mozzarella . Im from Romania and i like my coutry so much . Hope you and youre husband come back to visit ! Te pup , o seara buna . = kiss you , have a good night !
I don't know why everybody thinks that this is Dracula's real castle cuz it's not it was just based on the theory and a Visionary that what Dracula's castle would have look like now it's just a tourist trap 4 people like this lady that's posting this video
Thesse are 3 quotes from the first chapter of "Dracula" by Bram, and you see here that he is traveling in Bistritz which is the german name for Bistrita(google it if u want). He also refferes to "Borgo Pass" also known as Pasul Tihuta in Romania(u can google that too). So cut off the crap about Brasov (even though it's really nice:D) and especially about targoviste Castle etc. etc.) "It was on the dark side of twilight when we got to Bistritz, which is a very interesting old place. Being practically on the frontier--for the Borgo Pass leads from it into Bukovina--it has had a very stormy existence, and it certainly shows marks of it." "There are many odd things to put down, and, lest who reads them may fancy that I dined too well before I left Bistritz, let me put down my dinner exactly." "The road grew more level, and we appeared to fly along. Then the mountains seemed to come nearer to us on each side and to frown down upon us. We were entering on the Borgo Pass. One by one several of the passengers offered me gifts, which they pressed upon me with an earnestness which would take no denial. These were certainly of an odd and varied kind, but each was given in simple good faith, with a kindly word, and a blessing, and that same strange mixture of fear-meaning movements which I had seen outside the hotel at Bistritz-- the sign of the cross and the guard against the evil eye."
U said may be asociated with Dracula. If u see the original book the cover is of Bran castle, the actual book was banned from Bran and most of Romania. And there was a lot of suspicion whether the writer and Vlad the Impaler where vampires. The truth is the writer Bram Stoker had never been to Romania and in 1897 the time the book was written there is no possible way that he could have really known about the castle and even really Romania. So first of all how did he know what the castle looked like, second of all the history Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Tepes was born in 1431 so history of him mist by limited in Romania but Bram Stoker was Irish so how on earth did he know about it. Also 15 years after writing it he died he had a number of strokes aparently caused by syphilis could it have been that Abraham (Bram) Stoker was a vampire and after releasing the secret he was possessed many times until he eventually died 15 years after he uncovered the story of Vampires. He has so much description that he must have either been on drugs and was deluded or he was a vampire. He got all this information about the castle and "Dracula," even though he had never been there or had he was he a vampire and was the story of "Vlad the vampire" a story passed from generations of Vampires. The real question is was Abraham Stoker a vampire.
Idk why , i have friend he loner if he meet sun he like scared , when in sun the eye color be half orange half red , and the skin almost like burn , when he first time school with me , he get bully i make the bully scared at me but not work they hurt me , and my friend pull the bully , and my friend run he say "i dont know why i am hurt human" i am answer "wait you said human" and then i am say "are you ghost?" and he just go away and he say "nvm lets go to class" and when he get scold he just chill he just scared at sun and ✝ in my mind "is he vampire?" he just like read my mind he say "dont say that and lets go eat" he not eating but just only me always eating , yesterday he say "why you always think i am vampire?" i am answer "no i am not think that" he answer "yes you are" and i am just not say anything and , he say "sorry i am is vampire I keep this secret because my family won't know about me and my family" and I just like WTH!? Untill now I still no trust him (he is my bestfriend his house near me) Edit : his family never out (BUT I AM STILL NOT TRUST HIMMMM)

@@samuelandaudrey 🌸
Ancient torture methods make my skin crawl! Also, holy wind Batman, and that meal cements my desire to see Romania when I eventually get to Europe...
An ancient medieval torture method was to hang weights from the testicals!
+James Shannon I know what you mean! Yikes! I hope you can visit soon. It's a country that is very friendly to the digital nomad's pocketbook as well :)
+Cian Nelson Woah! That's gotta be the worst!
*Damn girl! or boy! I don't know who had the idea, but the sound you used was on point! ✌ Also Audrey is a cosplay material right there!*
thanks
There goes Sam again with his oh so genuine reaction to the food. My favorite part, however, was when the dog took liberties with Audrey.
+Bill Green LOL, that dog ended up being a terror ;)
i was there 1 year ago. it is a very special atmosphere...
+Ozan Z. So cool! What time of year did you visit?
+Samuel & Audrey it was on early july summer time.
+Ozan Z. Nice!
+Samuel & Audrey i am a big fan of your channel and videos and i know you both have visited turkey in the past. because i like you both i highly recommend not to visit too soon again. i live there and there is that conflict between 2 groups causing trouble. this is not to scare you. i love my country but its abit dangerous for tourists now. have a nice day and more awesome Videos !.

If you ever come back to Romania, please visit PELEȘ castle! It is the best castle Romania has. You won't regret it for sure!

+Samuel & Audrey it is in Sinaia. At about one hour by car from Bran. You can google it, see if it makes you courious :)

Awesome video review as always thumbs up! How did you get rid of the dog Audrey? Hope you're alright.

Do you eat sarmale ori ardei umpluți?This are romanian traditional food.
+RayDAGGER Ah, we didn't. Where would be a good place to try that?
+Samuel & Audrey in every traditional restaurants
OK, so for all you out there, I'm gonna make it simple:
1. There is Vlad Tepes(familly name: Dracul, not Dracula), who had a series of castles in Romania, amongst which Bran Castle. He lived back in the 15th century, and he was real.

+BostLife Thank you!!! :)

um.. i don't think it's allways so windy... it was just a bad weather day
Yeah, I kind of hope so...LOL
Next time go to "Cheile Gradistei "
+Stefi Tatar Thanks for the suggestion! :)
When in Romania do as the Romanians, I guess. The Polenta looks good! I considered visiting Dracula's castle, but I heard it sucked. Okay, that's enough. The dog was adorable, very playful. Audrey's a good sport.
+20alphabet We didn't show you the continuation of clips where she got mauled even further ;)
How is from Romania ? =)
I am from Romania
We really enjoyed visiting.
I didn't know that Dracula was real!. Very nice vid. I think same as Samuel. We are very lucky to born in present time. but most important; born in a place with freedom. Some countries don't have that precious privilege.
+scca1408 I totally agree with you! :)
Dracula wasn't real
Dracula is Vlad Tepes.
the saussage is called čevapčiči in bosnia and slovenia but this is probably an romanien version
+urban dereani Oh, thanks for letting us know! :)
urban dereani In Romanian : saussage - cârnați
It amazes me how we all have adapted to this Hmmm...oh, yes....way of life when we try something new to eat, even before we start chewing it we come up with this....Hmmmm...yeah...Hmmm..yes,yes,yes....just to please a host or trying to impress someone how skilled we are in tastes etc.
3:10 stop calling them like that please :( It hurts ;-;

that`s good shit :))) everybody loves them
+Velvet Thanks for letting us know! They're good!
NOT the REAL dracula castle!!! Real one is Poenari
Oh okay.
Vlad lived in Poenari, but Dracula's book talks about the Bran Castle. I think they still don't know if Vlad also lived for a few years in Bran
Hell no, the real Dracula s castle is the one presented în this video.
WolfPower do you call Dracula to the one in the stories or to the real one?
+ALIENdrifter66. I believe Bran is a tourist trap fake Dracula castle with a bunch of stuff that wasn't original to that castle anyways....made to look spooky and a castle from the 1400s wouldn't be in this shape anyways...I have a good friend who has lived in Romania his entire life and says Bran is fake. Vlad had several homes, but most say Bran is not one of them....tourist trap...FAKE
The "mici"are so good with BBQ
+RayDAGGER Yes, they sure are!
I want to explore Romania and see Dracula's castle.
That is cool to hear! Hope you can soon!

You like Transylvania!
+ItsFrostPvP72 Yes, we definitely do!
I wonder if the late Christopher Lee has ever visited this castle? It's lunch time? eat each other...LOL. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
haha hit my head in that secret staircase
+Luis Ramirez LOL, so did I.
Why did they torture people back then?
To beat out information out of enemies or to punish criminals.
+tammylovesmakeup Talk about brutal methods.
+Cian Nelson It would not have been fun to be on the receiving end back then.
+Samuel & Audrey +KeillaSellay ... HaHa!... the blonde speaks the truth! So much weird stuff happening in this country...
+tammylovesmakeup Because he was vegan !
i wanna go there so damn badly
It is a really cool place to visit :)
Great video but I'm a bit concerned about that dog. Sam, please keep an eye on Audrey especially around the full moon...and if she turns into a werewolf, please post the video.
