Be careful on calling Poland "eastern Europe", as Poles are extremely sensitive on this. To avoid problems, I suggest to replace the adjective "eastern" with "central". 😉

We all love you, Chris. Poland is beautiful ,I had to rewatch the entire video. Beautiful, this is a stunning area the architecture, the little shops. Love it this inspires me .
Poland is one of my favorite countries! I spent 2 weeks exploring in September 2022. I even enjoyed a meal at that same restaurant.😅 I visited Gdansk, Gydnia, Sopot, Malbork, Torun, Krakow, Warsaw, and Zakopane! I was corrected by my Polish friends that Poland is considered Central Europe. Enjoy! 😊👍🏽
amazing you can carry winter clothes in your backpack. i grew up in Chicago (with the 2nd largest polish population in the world behind warsaw) and i loathed the cold and dark winters. enjoy your European travels.
WONDERFUL you are living your best life .. just look at you! Great to see you Venturing into Europe what a Complete Different Vibe for your Channel and we get to Come Along Kudos to you Mate
OMG!!! I never expected to see you in a woolly hat!!! Enjoy your trip! I have just begun my 11 week solo trip with carry on case only!!! In Singapore at present! You inspired me! 🤗
We love Poland. We bopped around there at the end of 2022 to see Christmas markets. Then went to Warsaw for New Year's Eve and that was incredible. We also got stamped into Germany when we had our layover and no one asked us any questions in Poland. 😂
I know you like to surprise everyone but I am assuming you will go to Greece being so close, anyway I hope so because I want to there but I want your tips and recommendations and etc.
It’s great to see you in Poland😊 what a surprising but refreshing change! Wishing you all the best on this new chapter. Your outfit looks nice practical yet classy and I’m really enjoying the new jazz music in the background. It’s a perfect vibe. Looking forward to more of your videos!
@@RetireandGo Autumn or winter, you need to have a warm jacket and hat -such atmosphere. At this time, no one looks at fashion, but dresses warmly so as not to get sick.
I am really looking forward to following this wonderful adventure in Eastern Europe...you have inspired me and given me so many insights while in SE Asia and I really think I will learn a lot from you adventures in Eastern Europe... ENJOY!🎉
You will love the area surrounding the Balkans. We slow traveled there as well. It’s the best of Europe with less tourists in the off season and not much more expensive than SE Asia. Can’t wait to go back- enjoy the journey.
Aloha my friend, what a wonderful surprise switch from warm to winter countries. And east Europe of all the places. Hahahah love it !!!!!!! I am so happy you are going to do your journey through eastern Europe. This is part of Europe that is on my travels. Slovakia, Albania , Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Czechia and many more. Looking forward to all of your videos of East Europe and adventures. Mahalo 🤙
Love your content! My wife and I are empty nesters who've significantly picked up our travel game over the past 2 years. We had the same reaction in Italy (Came into the EU in Amsterdam). We went up to kind of a makeshift area labeled "Customs" and the people at the table looked at us with a 'What do you want" look on their face haha
Wow, Chris! Scotty beamed you up! 😊 Poland is on my list of retiree options. Hope you tour some lesser known Polish cities as comparison. Looking forward to showcase of morning pasteries - Enjoy!
@@Polans-gd Having grown up in the era of The Russian Empire (aka : Evil Empire and Iron Curtain). Well....... No harm was intended. LOL......I can remember the time when my school teacher chastised me for thinking that Germany could/would someday be reunited.
Wow. Was expecting more SE Asia. My mindset has been towards Asia. Europe is spectacular but can be very expensive. Did have a question, I found packing a Backpack a challenge for summer weather in SE Asia, be curious how you pack for cold weather. Maybe can include in a video. Hope you get to Krakow while in Poland. Look forward to more inspiration and videos 🙏
Used to travel to Poland for work for a few yrs and just loved it. It was awhile ago and they voted and joined the EU at that time. It was interesting to see the immediate investments made - the pop seemed divided along age groups. It was such a shock to see you pop up in Warsaw - was not expecting that. Where did you find warm clothes in your one small backpack? !!! Slovakia is also wonderful - don’t miss Georgia! Architecture is stunning in all cities/ countries ! Tbilisi really was my fav - food, people, culture, atmosphere
New experience! Enjoy, Chris! I love how you're so adaptable. Cold coffee in SEA and hot coffee in wintry Europe. Alas, I don't have that superpower. I have to have hot coffee even when I'm in Thailand. Cheers!
I love Poland ! But I am surprised you go there in winter ! I was getting bread almost every morning and eating it with cold cuts ( sausage, ham, cheese ) from grocery stores. Budget friendly.
Wow, i could not believe my eyes. Is that one of those electric vests you have? Good idea for light travel. A wool coat also. I think it's 3 months. It is a good time to go. No later than March. The food must be great and walking in a cold climate makes it all the better. My favorite is the "Smart Wool" T-shirt for starters. Happy travels!
Wow, that is a hell of a shift!! Did not expect that pivot. What are you travel plans over the next couple of months? I'm interested to know what's upcoming.
Leaving SOUTH-EAST ASIA little too soon imo. Europe is great for many things but weather sucks if it isn't between the months of MAY to OCTOBER. Interesting country to start your Euro-Tour - enjoy and keep warm!
Poland, no way that sounds cool! Good job I must say as far as RUclips foodies go you have the RUclips foodie bite down! That gratifying head nod and the eyes rolling back. It is textbook RUclips. 🤣😂 I’ve never seen anybody get so much gratification out of eating a sausage or a pretzel in my life. Influencers just seem to have a better pallet than I. 😂🤣🤓
I’ve been traveling around Thailand for the last 3 weeks and it’s so darn crowded everywhere and prices are high. It’s a good time to travel outside until the crowds subside. I really enjoyed my weeklong motorbike ride throughout northern Thailand, the countryside is very similar to Colombia. I left from Chiang Mai which was full of tourists and I mean full. I travelled the famous Mae Hong Son loop including a stop in Ban Rak Thai Lake community ( spectacular but cold) Pai which was packed with backpackers from Europe, Mae Salong,and Chiang Rai, before riding to the Golden Triangle via Tha Ton for a foto and then high up in the mountains for a freezing cold night in Phu Chi Fa, down the mountains again to Phayao which is besides a beautiful lake (an amazing place, more riding through beautiful countryside back to Chiang Mai to return the motorbike. Now in Northern end of Pattaya beach, which surprisingly I really like as it’s more upscale than other parts. It’s not my scene but I did walk through soi 6 and omg what a great laugh that was, gotta have an open mind but some of the prettiest ladies in Thailand grabbing at you to get you into their host bar was a great ego boost if nothing else 😂 If I return to Thailand it’ll be during the off season…Thailand is overwhelmed with tourist over Xmas and new year with prices adjusted accordingly.
@ we love you Chris. Americans don’t learn much about Europe in schools. So we understand that most of them don’t understand that. Even Switzerland is in Central Europe. In Poland there is a geographical center of Europe.
@@DL-ne5gn truth I wish more was taught about the world The US education system is failing in other ways too College bound kids are having a hard time reading! What a mess
@@DL-ne5gn I would like to get to Switzerland this trip but we shall see I am trying to hit several countries then get back to Thailand Every year I can try a few more :-)
Gotta admit, it feels awkward seeing you anywhere other than Southeast Asia haha! It looks really cold there and I'm intrigued at how you could travel there minimally with a single backpack. Can't wait to tune in for more.
I performed a genealogy research project. Geneteka Poland was very helpful. I directly traced my father's side to an area around Lomza to 1722 (although historically the surname goes back to 13th century in the same voivodship). Living and fighting under various coats of arms through that time In 1849 The King gave my 5x great grandfather his nobility card and the coat of arms in my profile pic. One day I will walk the land that once belonged to my forefathers. Enjoy your time!
The 90/180 day rule is a visa policy that limits the length of stay for non-EU nationals in the Schengen Area. The rule states that visitors (US citizens) can stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
If you hit the Schengen Zone limit - I suggest to travel to Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina, UK and/or Ireland (there are a few more) for 90 days then you can reenter the Schengen zone for another 90. The rule is 90 days within a 180 day period.
Aloha Steve!Coldest month to travel to Warsaw is January 🥶you must be cold surely you could have got yourself a cheap down jacket , they can be compressed quite small and you probably have been able to squash it in that backback😅 Anyway enjoy your travels and make sure you go to Prague as you seem to be a culture vulture you will love it, take care buddy!
Once you entered Germany you are in the Schengen area of countries which Poland is also part of. You can travel between them without getting checked until you leave to a non Schengen country.
Wow. I don't think I've seen you outside Asia apart from that trip home you did last year. I'm curious to know about those cold-weather clothes you're wearing. Did you have to buy a new set of clothing for this? Or rent it? How do you manage your "wardrobe" when you travel between places with very different climates?

Geographical middle of Europe is in Poland- in Suchowola, so we, Poland are in middle Europe
Great video
Please, note that when Poland you may call its location as the Central Europe.

I've got a question. Where did all the winter clothes come from???
Haha
Second hand stores
Used
I’ll donate them to the hotel staff in Thailand who I get there

Oh yes true
Colder in US now as well
I am British and built a house in Transylvania and moving this year .
Please visit BRASOV
That area is absolutely gorgeous
I could live there
Once you entered Germany you are in the Schengen area of countries which Poland is also part of. You can travel between them without getting checked until you leave to a non Schengen country.
I’m going to see as many as I can :-)
Cafe Nero is a fairly large European chain coffee place - think equivalent to Starbucks, etc - which are here as well, of course.

All second hand store warm clothes
Chris! Whaat! Thought who is the cat burglar on the video front!
Haha yes it’s a total cat burglar outfit !
@@RetireandGohaha 😅😂it is!!!
Wow. I don't think I've seen you outside Asia apart from that trip home you did last year. I'm curious to know about those cold-weather clothes you're wearing. Did you have to buy a new set of clothing for this? Or rent it? How do you manage your "wardrobe" when you travel between places with very different climates?
True
Each year I will do an outside of Asia trip to see some countries

Central Europe, Sir. Greetings. :)

Have a good day
