Hello, we're Kristy & Steve and welcome to our channel!
After saving for 3 years, we left our jobs, sold our possessions, rented out our apartment in Melbourne, Australia and bought one way tickets to start a new long-term adventure exploring different countries, discovering new cultures and learning new ways of life. We created this channel to keep our friends, family and anyone we meet along the way, up to date with our journey around the world! Join us on our trip - we hope you enjoy! ✈️

Im not sure why Australians should be surprised by British food. Having spent time there lots of common British foods are readily available in many parts of Australia
Lack of planning leads to this result. Been there, done that. Don't do it anymore.
You live and learn hey! 😅
@@KristyandSteve If one had many days to "play with" then hours don't matte when it comes to transport I find. Otherwise, lack of planning creates undue stress.
Totally agree
Yep. I've been on trips for months and gotten stuck out in the middle of the rice paddies at 0430 on a broken down bus and had no stress about it since I had nowhere to be for two months. Others on the bus, very stressed out about connecting transportation that very morning.
Hash browns are an American abomination, should be fried sliced potatoes. You can't get vinegar in a chip shop, it's an old law because vinegar can be classed as being "brewed", so chip shops only use a "non brewed condiment" that is acetic acid.
Ahhh didnt know this about the vinegar - thanks for the info and for watching! 👍🏼
@@KristyandSteve nice film thanks, yeah the vinegar thing is weird, it was something to do with customs and excise.
Were the food or dinner expensive?
We paid around €30 for dinner. It was a little expensive - definitely bring snacks 👍🏼
Chinatown is more popular Now. Thank you 🙏. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpaXqdptfaq7fco.htmlsi=HyUSc-852KgBn-bz 🙏❤️🇹🇭❤️

What the hell is that plastic cup next to you when you're having the 'traditional' scone? The only thing you should have is a pot of tea and that does not come in a plastic cup. Just got to the point where you got to the Chop House and hoping that things get better. First thoughts are that we have decent beer in Manchester and it's so much better than VB. The Chop Houses are so good but the corned beef there is what we'd normally call salt beef
I think it was an iced tea Steve had in the plastic cup 🤷🏻♀️ We LOVED the chop house...wish we had them in Melbourne. Thanks for watching!
Probably been said before but hash browns are American and aren't part of a traditional English breakfast. Black pudding is a northern English thing. A traditional English breakfast for London, Birmingham, Manchester etc without local changes would be Bacon, sausages, fried egg, fried bread and grilled tomato. Fried bread is usually a northern thing but, as a Mancunian, it's essential
We need to try the fried bread next time 😋
Now try Haggis!
We did in our Edinburgh video ☺️
I’m looking to book this from Budapest to Prague .. how much was it ?? What website did you use? My trips not till December so I know I can’t get it now but trying to get an idea of the cost
Hi! We booked through Trainline (Omio is also a good transport app/website). We paid AUD$140 per person for this trip - all other info in the description of the video
@@KristyandSteve ☺️
Every time i go to a cafe i always get 2 full english with my order 1 aint enough lol I usealy go for 4 sausages 4 bacon 4 hasbrowns double the beans 4 eggs to smother it in runny egg juice swap the shrooms and black pudding for what ever if u dont eat those for extra bacon or what ever and 4 grilled toms that is my perfect breakfast Nothing imho beats a full english
TWO! Haha that is a fair effort ! We definitely should have ordered one each as sharing was a terrible idea 😂 We're looking forward to returning to the UK and trying different variations (especially the Scottish white pudding - apparently it's delicious!) 😋
57 pounds for 2 vodkas in Iceland guys, expensive part of world
WOWZA!!! Thats on a whole other level isnt it! 🤯
Hot as balls????
Haha its a slang Aussie saying , just meaning that its very hot 🥵
Heading to Tromso in November, loved the video guys
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed our video ☺️ Have the BEST time in Tromso!
A small comment on reindeer. Don't overcook it. It actually just need a few min on each side. You should also serve it with "tyttebærsyltetøy" (cranberry jam). A good sauce is also good work the meat
Thank you for the tip! ☺️
Just found your channel guys and it's proving to be really helpful in planning my trip. I'm solo travelling Thailand soon and I'm gonna binge your content for tips. Thank you!
Hey Samuel! Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed this video ☺️ Have the BEST time on your trip, Thailand is a brilliant country to solo travel
When i was a child my grandma used to serve up the Yorkshire puddings and gravy first then the actual mash, roast potatoes meat and veg with gravy, never had the puddings together, i think the reason was because in her days Yorkshire pudding was served up separate to fill you up and there for not as much meat needed.
Sounds like your Grandma knew how to do an incredible roast 🥰 Thanks for watching our video!
Best Fish N Chips are in Whitby North Yorkshire
Its not really great. Its ok but not really great
Coming from Melbourne, Australia, we think Tallinn is pretty great! 🥰
Prague is great. Budapest is great. Tallinn is ok. The former ones have a better baltic feeling and much more than tallinn
Budapest and Prague are brilliant, aren't they? To be honest though , most European cities are extremely impressive...the architecture, history, food, people, landscapes are all so unique and different in their own way. Shame its so far from home for us! Thanks for watching our video ☺️
Beautiful city .......in communist time this city was sooo ugly
Agree, Timisoara is truly a beautiful city. Its come along way since communist times, we love it ❤️
im going to innsbruck 3rd November, i wonder if i might be able to see some ski jumps! thats so WOW!!
Oooh hopefully you do, it was the highlight of our Austria trip! Fingers crossed for you 🤞 -have a great time!
I was born and raised in Timisoara and I am proud of this city
You should be very proud! Its a wonderful city ❤️
Any way you eat yorky pud is the right way.!@@
So true, Patricia! 😋
A full english sounds and looks fantastic. Will i ever learn not to watch food vids at night. Its 9pm and i want breakfast. I must watch these in the afternoon. Lol.
Haha we do the same! 🤣
Hp is the best thing for you to put on eggs etc. A must have.!!!
Agree
I am glad someone else has noticed it’s impossible to normally open a pack of chips 😂😂 Good blog guys 👍🏻🍺
haha thank you! ☺️
Tamarind is soo much better IMO, love that place for food ❤
Its fantastic , isnt it! Its good that two great food markets are across the road from each other- so many delicious options to choose from! 😋
I fot the rye bread sandwitch between breakfast and dinner in finnair bussiness class from helsinki to doha
Reindeer hotdog.. So santa wont come on at this year 😂
Potentially not 🤣
Great video guys, well put together... I live the other side of the main road to where you stayed set back in at the foot of the hills. Badu Indian is my go to local Indian restaurant - love it.
Thank you, Martin! You are lucky to live where you do, its absolute bliss 💕 Enjoy!
Research will only get you so far. Just always book everything ahead. Yes, train tickets online will cost an extra 100 baht, but it's so much better than travel frustrations. That said, no matter how much you plan, things will go wrong. That's part of the adventure. I've been traveling all over Asia since 1997, and you're doing fine.
Hi Randolph! You are so right. We definitely learnt our lesson and will stick to pre-booking what we can, early! Thanks for watching ☺️
We are flying to Thailand in 2 weeks and also want to go to Hua hin. can you swim in the sea there? what is the water quality?
Hello! Yes you can definitely swim in the sea...its lovely and warm. We liked where the Marriott Hotel is located, the beach was quiet and clean. Enjoy your trip! ☺️
Stevo, oyster omlete! Bro phuk that's brave. Love optimism. I might try Hua Hin before Kata next year. 5 days maybe
Highly recommend Hua Hin mate! 5 days is plenty long enough
8:37 the ceiling is the national flower of Scotland, the thistle
Thank you 😊
Great video. If high costs of living and ❄️🏔️🌬️🌨️ keeps the 🤯 I see nothing wrong with living in a beautiful place like this. If I've the 💰💵💴💶💷 spend some of it. Won't do you any good ⚰️. Far as the cold weather. That's the reason there are fire places, coats, and ☕🍵🥃. Would I do it if I could? 🧑🦯🚶🏻♂️🏃🏻💨💨💨💨. As long as I'm living in a peaceful place instead of 😤😠😡🤬. You are blessed to visit places like this. B SAFE 🇺🇸
Completely agree, you make excellent points! We are indeed very blessed to have visited some beautiful places , Tromso being one of them 🇳🇴💕 Where are you from? Thank you for watching!
Ah, Yorkshire puds! There is no "correct way" to eat them. They can be savoury or sweet. My fav way is piece of crispy roast potato, slice of meat, (whichever meat you like) and a bit of gravy. Second to that is a Yorkie which has been flattened, sliced meat on top and rolled into a kind of burrito with a pot of gravy, third is a Yorkie with honey, ice cream and strawberries. 🤤🤤🤤
We needs to try them as a dessert - yum! 😋
From which website did u booked tickets ?
Hello! We put the websites in the description of this video ☺️
Hash browns are not part of a ‘traditional’ English breakfast…
Not bad at the pronunciation :D Slovene is a very hard language to learn. I'll try to write it more the English way " Cljuchavnicharska " It's a mouthful :D
Thanks Sandra! ☺️ Yes, Slovene is a difficult language for a native English speaker. We found a lot of the locals in Ljubljana could speak multiple languages (German, Italian, English mostly) - very impressive!
😂😂😂
I could eat English breakfast every meal
Same!
Enjoyed it, thanks! 😍 Arriving in Germany has been a roll of the dice lately cos of all the reconstructions n lack of communication. :( but if there were a lot of police it could have been a group of unruly pax onboard who didn’t know how to behave. We get those as well unfortunately. Europe still has a loooong way to go to make long distance train travel a viable alternative to flying.
Thanks, glad you liked the video! ☺️ Germany is miles ahead of Australia in regards to cross-country train travel , we love the convenience and ease of it (albeit , not everything always goes to plan 🤣)
I love Smart Bar fish and chips !!!
Its great isnt it! 😍
Lake bled ... yummy
🥰
Yorkshire pudding back in the day was served before the meal to fill you up so as you would need less meat. Nowadays where we are on the whole more prosperous we eat smaller versions with the meal. I used to have to make them by the thousands professionally.
We love a Yorkie! 🤤
I've never had hagis, I imagine it might taste like fag gots I don't remember you trying them in England. Take it from a whiskey drinker, alway have it mixed with a little plain cold water, funny I've never been to Scotland & live in South England & you are from the other side of the world educating me about Scotland. Marvellous! Had to separate the word beginning in fag & ending in gotts because this stupid American algorithm thinks I'm being abusive, that's what you get when you put machines in control.
I'd love to know some famous Australian meals, perhaps when your back in Auss you can do one. On the black sausage , why worry about blood, your eating the flesh of a animal. Anyway I should have said that was a great video I'm subscribed.
Thanks so much Shaun, appreciate that! ☺️ Yes, you are so right about the black pudding! We're back home in Melbourne at the moment so will do a few videos here showing you our favourite foodie spots
Yeah, you can book in advance. Its a month in advance
Good to know, thank you ☺️
That's definitely for one person but you need a big mug of hot tea,not coffee, the black sausage is delicious, we love it! Offal is often an ingredient, that's basically what Hagis is, I've never had it but it looks delicious. Fish & chips vary from okay to very good.
Yeah, we definitely should have ordered one each. Agree with the tea! We missed out on the the fried bread to apparently ...next time! 😋 Thanks for watching, Shaun!
Tea goes better with a full English
Would have to agree with you on that!
