Fears from Devastating Flooding Keeps Us Awake and Awaiting - The Realities of Van Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Van Life doesn't always look like this pretty picture. As we explore the Alps of Slovenia we are inspired by the beauty of this country. Even with overcast skies and scattered rain the place is captivating. But as we head up towards Logar Valley, winding through a mountain pass and along a river that devastated this valley last year, we are reminded of the power and fury that the nature can unleash as we drive past remnants of roads, bridges and houses washed away in last years flood. Shortly after we parked a giant storm hit and we found ourselves worried about rising rivers. We are also on a quest to see and to show you the most photographed spot and arguably the most beautiful spot in Slovenia. Will the rain ever stop and will the clouds ever clear. It took a lot more to get this photo than one would think.
Cheers
Snow and Curt

The pure joy on Snow's face at the waterfall! How awesome!
And those Highland cattle, too cute!!
Wow even the gas station looked like a park! Absolutely beautiful country!
It really is stunning... and that is the entire country... it is all green, clean, and pretty!
What stunning forests and exquisite scenery up in those mountains! Thank you so much for having us along. 🐈🐈⬛
What a gorgeous valley surrounded by such beautiful mountains. Your photography was outstanding. That mushroom was fascinating to see but when it comes to eating them, I stay away from all wild mushrooms. There have been too many stories of people taking chances of eating what they thought was a safe mushroom and ended up either very sick or dead. 😱
I enjoyed all the beauty and the kitty walks. Thank God for his creation. Thank you
I am so grateful for your wonderful channel. I am taking care of my 90 year old mother so our traveling & camping days are over. The beauty you share helps me to escape & feel less frustrated. God bless you both!
Love the kitties when they take their walks in nature.
Aah 😊
Slovenia is beautiful!
My daughter and her partner bought a small farm in Slovenia not far from the Austrian border.
They absolutely love it there.
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
I love seeing you on these hikes, Snow. You and your “mountain goat” make me smile. ❤
“There goes my mountain goat.” Haha. What a great quote, Snow! Great footage and I love the music you used.
Glad you enjoyed it
What an absolutely beautiful place! Thanks for bringing us along! Cheers 🥂
Morning Curt and snow and the kitties .
have a great day all !
❤😊 no thanks on the mushroom 🍄🟫
Slovenia is sooo beautiful. Loved and enjoyed your video.. great music too! Well done Snow!
I get so excited when Snow is so excited. You bring happy tears to my eyes. I've been following you since Mexico.
You are so sparkling beautiful when you are happy and smiling ❤
Can Slovenia get any more beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Those are Highland cows. My favourite!❤
Yayyyyyy, Snow!!! Sometimes it's one step at a time to the top! So gorgeous there! Love to Curt, and the kitties! ❤☮️🙏🏻🌈🐈⬛🐈⬛
Thanks for showing us the beautiful valleys of Slovenia, never been there and probably never will but now I’ve seen it❤
And the cows are Highland Cattle from Scotland ;)
Snow and Curt, if you aren’t positive about a
mushroom, no way should you eat it! Yes, that DOES look like a Morel, but I wouldn’t take a chance!
The scenery in this video is magnificent! I keep thinking that it can’t get any better and it does! What a picturesque town! Thanks for taking us along. 🌺
I second that. Foreigners in Germany have foraged mushrooms. They were certain to know what they were doing. But our poisonous mushrooms looked exactly like the good ones they knew from home.
I remember watching that terrifying day in Panama. How scary that was
Well done Snow that’s brilliant you got to the water fall👍💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏👍
Thank you 🤗
Wow so beautiful
Wow...spectacular views and that waterfall is amazing!
It really is!
I love that you're living your best life Snow----you go girl❤
“Smile headache” lol - there’s no better headache than that!! You’re so lucky to be living your best life. We should all be so lucky!
Drone views and splashing water - exhilarating!
Absolutely stunning, thanks for taking us with you Snow & Curt. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Slovenia is a beautiful country! All those lovely walks in nature is heavenly. Thank you both for these amazing travels you take us on. Loved Savannah watching those cows. Just so cute. Take care and see you on your next vlog ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
👍😁🤗 So beautiful. 😍
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Highland cows, amazingly gorgeous views, what an experience!
The best!
Wow guys! No wonder you can't stop smiling❤😂
Love watching Vanna enjoy nature and listen to the birds & crickets and the wind blowing through the trees and water flowing.
My wife was so excited by your smile headache comment. She always says she gets them and we mock her about it. You are the first other person she’s heard of to mention it 😂
Some pleasant moments wandering through the nearby woods, with a sprinkling of wildflowers along the paths - with gentle music to caption the idyll. Ahh...
Greetings from the US! What a beautiful area. I love the music and video because I feel I am there. Thank you!
#3, could not sleep waiting for your video this morning. Thank you.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Good morning, safe travels. Cheers. 🎉
Well done Snow on slowly pushing yourself this way. What a wonderful reward for your hard work. X
Congrats Snow on making it to the falls good on you. Remember every day you wake up is a good day😊 Thank you
Yes! Thank you!
Wow that's so beautiful! I would absolutely love to be able to walk up a trail to find a waterfall just around the bend on an awesome lil trail like you're doing. Snow, I'm so proud of how far you've come from being flat on your back to climbing trails. Curt, we all get out of breath at times and hiking will make you breathe harder but at least you're getting back in shape and doing what you need to do for your health. I myself didn't realize that I was as sick as I was and just figured it was covid again. Nope it was RSV and a bone infection that was so bad that I lost my leg up to past my knee. I had no idea because I was in a coma. My son found me just in time. I was in a coma for 2 weeks and woke up to an entirely different life. For anyone reading this: don't hesitate to get medical help if you're sick. Your body is telling you that you need help and you should get it ASAP. Curt and Snow, ya'll rock those trails and take a break as soon as you feel like it. Happy trails and safe travels!
What an absolutely horrid, life-changing medical event! I'm so glad that your son found you in time, and that you lived through it. It shows how important it is to check in with one another on a regular basis, especially if someone is ill. Sometimes, if we are too sick, we can drift into a mental state where we no longer can make good decisions for ourselves. It sounds as if you're a survivor and have a very positive attitude. I'm glad you can take such pleasure in Snow and Court's adventures. Living with a disability myself, I can certainly relate to traveling vicariously. Take care!
Sorry Curt! (Darn that spell check😆)
Beautiful country and waterfall. Kitty cats look happy to get a good walk too. Awesome video.
Yes, thanks
Really enjoyed seeing your kitties on such a beautiful walk!
So glad you have the drone again. Spectacular shots of the waterfall.
Yummy Morel! I finally found some this year right next to my house! It’s definitely a Morel! Eat it! But soak it first in some mild salt water to get bugs out. Highland Cattle are adorable! 😁. What a beautiful place!
Those are Scottish Highland Cattle. We use to live on a 300 acre ranch up in the mountains of Montana, that they would bring 80 head of them there to summer pasture. They had three big bulls that we had a healthy respect for as they were huge! This area reminds me of pics I've seen of Germany. Absolutely beautiful for sure!!! Glad to see you getting to hike this stunning area!!!❤
Such magical places you find , breathtaking 😃 💜
We agree!
Good morning. Love watching the kittens on their walk. I'm going to watch this again because it was 4 am. when I woke up and fell back to sleep for a short time. Woke at the falls. In time to see the beautiful mountains. I'm praying for at least 50 thousand more subscribers. I remember the flood you were in, I held my breath when your van went through so much water and tried to tip over... That took my breath way!
You are so kind! Sounds like you needed a bit more sleep! LOL
What a beautiful country! Those wonderful cows are Scottish coos, or Highland cows- my favorites. I love seeing the cats enjoying their hikes!
They are so darn cute!
How spectacular the mountains are. Gorgeous
Beautiful footage of the kitty's on the trail!!!! ❤❤❤❤ I think that's your new camera and it's doing a fantastic job, absolutely beautiful picture!!! It might just be me because I'm a major cat lover🤣🤣🤣🐱🐈⬛🐱🐈 What a BEAUTIFUL PLACE, the rolling hills are so green and lush 🏡😊 I could stay there for ever!!! I did notice the heavy breathing but have followed you for about 3 years now and understand but still worry about you snow ❤ Curt you are a mouth breather just like me so it looks like you are struggling but I know you are good!!! Thanks for sharing your lives and the wonderful place and memories you guys have given me and my husband!! We have been married for 33 years and would love to sale it all and travel like you guys!! Maybe one day 😂😊😂 CHEERS 🥂
Fabulous, stunning and spectacular episode ❤❤❤❤ thanks a stack , enjoy 🎉🎉🎉
Another beautiful video. I just want to say how much the love that you guys have for your travels, your kitties, each other and for sharing it all with us comes shining through, especially on this episode. Snow, i think your heart crisis opened it up fully to the world, and we all get to benefit. You guys are beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much!
Views and Vistas! That's the hiking reward. Hmmm, gonna have to go there.
How beautiful. Thx for sharing and stay safe.
Absolutely Stunning Country!! You guys always find the most Gorgeous places to go to.
Oh and by the way, those cows you stopped by are called Highander Cows, they are so Adorable 💕
Thanks for taking us along!!
Safe Travels, Blessings Always 💕
What a gorgeous hike to the waterfall! It's good that you know and handle your heart 'stuff' so well. Lovely, lovely day! Now my face hurts from smiling, too!
Beautiful. I have a dear old friend who lives in Slovenia. Have wanted to visit for a long time. Your videos give me more inspiration.
Go for it!
Beautiful. I remember a camping trip as a kid and we had to evaluate due to a flash flood. I have heart failure and I totally understand.
Oh wow! I bet that was scary!
Snow, you're a real trooper & I admire you so much! I love seeing your beautiful smile by the waterfall near the end of the video!
Yes Slovenia, Italy and France were really affected by flooding last year. Really devastating for so many villages
Hi Snow & Curt - wow!! So beautiful in the Sylvania Mtn Alps. Boy, the drone is giving some wonderful footage too. Thanks for taken the road less traveled, amazing!! ❤👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it
So beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Way to go Snow!!!! You made it!
Lots of beautiful wildflowers. One that you gave a close up of while Snow was talking , was the unusual Turtlehead flower( Chelone Lyonii ). During G’s walk I saw yellow buttercups, blue salvia and possibly violets along the path.
I love the way G stays on a trail.
Beautiful! Thanks for taking us with you. You are an inspiration, Snow, I have chronic health conditions that at times make me feel like vanlife would be impossible....you prove otherwise! You go , girl, with your strong, adventurous, life. Wishing you health and happiness always.
The views are awesome. Loved the extra time spent on the furbabies. They are so beautiful and so well-behaved. It must be a pleasure to travel with them.
They are great travel buddies!
Thank you for taking us to these wonderful and peaceful scenery
Glad you enjoyed it
Slovenia is so beautiful. 😊
The new drone is capturing some amazingly crisp footage!! Amazing!
❤beautiful video. Snow I am so happy you know your limits and made it to the waterfall. Both you and Curt are looking great and headache or not I love it when you smile so bright.
Thank you so much!
I think those are Scottish Highland Cows-- I do love them too. They are so fluffy!
Curt and Snow,I know you both don't suffer with high blood pressure because of the peaceful environments you visit. Beautiful views have a calming affect😊.
We do live a pretty relaxing way!
Slovenia is gorgeous!!
What a beautiful place!!! 😮😍
It really is!
What an absolutely stunning country. Not much more to say than that!
We are glad you enjoyed the video @siegerrebe!
Morel looks good. The scenery there is top notch. Just wow.
I love the kitties in hikes🥰😘🥰🥰
Scottish Highland cows. So beautiful, and gentle.
When Curt first hold up the mushroom I thought it was an icecream 🙈😂
Beautiful video
So much beauty in this video, Curt and Snow, it's like a professional travel video! I loved how it started out with "Kitties on A Hike," they were so adorable and had me smiling the whole time. So glad you were able to accomplish the hike to the waterfall, Snow, definitely a stunning pay-off on that.
Thank you for a gorgeous travelogue! ❤❤❤
Oh yeah - NO on eating the mushroom, but thanks for sharing 😆
Absolutely ,stunning scenery.
Alright Snow, you inspire me. I'm happy to see you going strong. What a great time to be alive. Beautiful country, you and Curt are very lucky in your life style. God bless you.
So many beautiful places I never knew I want to see. 😊 Thanks as always for the sites & smiles
9:21-9:23 on the right thats my mates house (in Luce) where I stay when mountain biking in Slovenia :)
And yes, major floods last year.
EDIT - PS, never seen the waterfall that devoid of people, always been busy when I've been there; you did well.
So cool! It is such a small world really!
i do appreciate the cat's eye view!
Do you ever drink that spring water…I bet it’s some of the best in the world. Fill up your jugs!
Snow, I admire you going straight up that trail. I'd still be walking it as I would be zig-zagging my way up that trail to reduce the effects of the incline. But what a reward to see and feel that water on your face!!💕
It was worth it for sure!
I love that in each video you comment a lot that makes it more interesting.
Thanks
Yeah, Snow!! Slow and steady, you got there. You should be so proud of persevering. Curt and you are so inspiring to all of us who watch. Love the views from the new drone!!
Very different from the places I’m used to see here in Brazil but very very beautiful views.
Your video was awesome. The area you traveled was beautiful. The cows are called Highland Cows. Highland cattle are a Scottish breed of cattle that originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland.
wonderful waterfall. good to see you feeling such joy.
I just love the love you two have for each other, the looks on your faces the way you look at each other there are no personal displays of affection but the love just oozes from you. From someone who has not had a long term significant other it makes my heart swell with happiness for you. Love It!
Wonderful!
Thanks, @victoriadecarlo9734!
You will see plenty of those cows in Scotland......they are so cute!
