Good morning guys! We hope all of our American friends had a great day celebrating July 4th yesterday... and that the hangover isn't too bad today 😂

After a couple of months in the UK and Switzerland visiting family, we're back on the move again! 🛩️ This time we're heading to Serbia! 🇷🇸

I just wanted to highlight a couple of things you might have missed from us, starting with our group trip! In May 2027, we'll be taking a small group of people to travel through northern Vietnam for 7 days 🇻🇳

We'll explore Hanoi like locals, adventure through rice fields and mountains in Ninh Binh, and finish with a luxury cruise in the one of the proposed natural world wonders, Ha Long Bay!

You can check out the full itinerary here: trovatrip.com/trip/asia/vietnam/vietnam-with-ryan-…

Secondly, we shared the first episode of our Italy van life series yesterday and it seems like a lot of people might have missed it 😭 Personally, I think it's one of the best videos we've made recently - so please, please, please go check it out! 🙏

Finally, we're on a mission to always keep improving our videos and our content, but we rarely get any feedback. So if you have anything you want to say/criticise/request, drop it in the comments here so we can continue to bring you the BEST videos! 😁

We just want you to know that we're super appreciative for your continued support on our videos, and we love it when you guys say hi to us in the comments!

Much love! ❤️

Genuinely just imagine this for a second...

You're sat on a tiny plastic stool in Hanoi's Old Quarter, egg coffee in hand, bún chả sizzling in front of you... and you're doing it with a group of people who are just as obsessed with this stuff as you are 🇻🇳

Then the next day you're cycling through the rice fields in Ninh Binh together... these massive karst mountains just shooting up out of nowhere with paddies stretching out in every direction 🥹

And THEN you're spending the night on a luxury cruise ship drifting between the limestone cliffs of Ha Long Bay...

This is EXACTLY what we're doing! 👏

7 days in Vietnam, May 2027, a small group, and us right there with you the whole time.

We want everyone to actually know each other by day 2, not just be strangers on a bus lol.

That's how we travel best and honestly how Vietnam deserves to be seen!

Would you come with us?! 👇

Hey guys! We’ve just gotten home after a 10 day road trip around northern Italy! It’s the first time we’ve taken a proper holiday away from work in the very long time, and we had such a blast! 🕺💃

But because we were so busy filming Italy videos and exploring the likes of Como, Venice and Florence, we didn’t have time to edit a new YouTube video for last weekend… you might have realised 😅

There was meant to be a video going up this Saturday, but I’ve only just been able to sit down and finish it, and we need the brands approval before we can publish it. So Saturday doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, and instead it might have to be a mid-week upload next week once everything’s finalised! 😎

We can’t wait to start sharing our Italy road trip vlogs in a couple of weeks! 🇮🇹

Much love,
S&R

Hey guys! Unfortunately client work has gotten the best of us this week and we’ve been super busy with work, so no video today I’m afraid 😭😭

We’ll be back next Saturday with a brand new food tour, trying some of the most delicious (& unique) Croatian food! 🇭🇷❤️

Here’s a little look into what our last week in Croatia looked like 👇

Wow we’ve got quite a lot of new people here! 🤯

Thank you so much for all the feedback, recommendations and just general love on our Türkiye series!

We just posted the final video from our time in Istanbul! ❤️🇹🇷

This picture is from Hvar Island in Croatia, and is a sneak peek into what’s about to come next.

Starting next weekend, our Croatia series will go live, and we hope that you’ll enjoy these videos just as much 🥰

From your friends,
Sara & Ryan 💁🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️

We made it to Split, Croatia! 🇭🇷🥳

Sara and I are super excited to be exploring this area of the world for the next month... actually, we're planning to film a Croatian food tour on Friday!

If you have any recommendations for the best Croatian food, or even dishes specific to Split, drop them down below! We want to try as much new food as we possibly can and give Croatian cuisine the recognition it deserves! 🤤

Whelp, this isn’t a great start to our next adventure 🤣

Right now we’re supposed to be on a flight to Croatia, but it’s been cancelled… so after a depressing Burger King on the airport floor, the airline has checked us into a Yotel in Istanbul airport and we are heading out on a new flight at 8am tomorrow morning 🥱

And instead of a 2 hour direct flight, we have to fly from Istanbul, to Vienna…. To Zagreb… and then to Split 😂🛩️

We have to say though, the customer service through Croatia Airlines has been impeccable, so well done them! They got us on a new route and into a hotel within 2 hours of the cancellation!

Anyway, we’re gonna try and get a good sleep so we can wake up at 5:30am lol.

But if anyone has any recommendations for Croatia (activities or food) in the Split area or in Dubrovnik, let us know below and we’ll try to feature them on a video! ❤️
