About Us
We’re Emre and Maia. Our videos feature local, authentic, and immersive experiences in Europe. We love to engage with local people and stay longer in our destinations, while we spend a few gap years being curious about everything! We’re passionate about travel and food and have been to 44 countries between us in our international careers! Longing for simplicity and freedom, we put our remaining possessions in storage, and set out with a suitcase and carry-on each. We love slow travel because its a mindset that works whether you have a few days or a whole year!

We like to keep it real. We did not receive, nor do we ask for compensation or barter from any of the enterprises mentioned in this video.

Yes, keep covering more neighbourhoods.

[lindadorman]

Yes, please! We love seeing videos of specific neighborhoods that are more residential than tourist areas. Particularly inside shops as most videos focus on eateries instead of retail. I'd also like to see rental options for those of us not yet ready to buy an apartment.

[islandbreeze]

Yes! More neighborhoods please!! This video is wonderful. Seems like most videos of Nice on YouTubie keep showing us the same thing over and over again: Promenade des Anglais, Vieux Nice, the Marché Aux Fleurs and such. Finally you 2 came along and are going to show us the real Nice where the locals live and shop. Beyond the tourist areas. Thank you!!

Yours are the best videos of Nice. We've been several times since 2000 and thought we'd covered most of you both came along. Thank you for sharing these less obvious places to experience. Keep em coming for as long as you can 👍👍👍👍

[cognoscenticycles]

Carabacel is definitely a truly authentic neighbourhood in Nice that's not the first choice of tourists which is why it's so special. It has everything you would need or want and it's not too far from the Old City or the beach. It's an excellent place to grab food, shop or stay should you be visiting Nice.

[rumebytauskainteriordesign]

Yes please continue showing all the neighborhoods in Nice. I am moving there in October...

[annedodd]

Very enjoyable & informative.
More, please….😊😊

[Nightbird.]

New to your channel and loving it. You are such a charming couple! Just a few suggestion to draw in more viewers:
1. Please focus more on rentals. Most expats moving to France are retired and don't want the responsibility or big upfront expense of purchasing, but would rather rent furnished units for flexibility. And please show the rental price along with the lease length.
2. Also, please show more rural rentals for those seeking the peace and quiet of the famed french countryside. Most people seeking this type of rental want something no more than 30-45 minutes outside a big city for their shopping, dining and entertainment convenience.
3. And please show how easy it is to live there if you don't know any French. Or how welcoming an area is to the LGBT+ community. And what the crime statistics and general safety is per area.
Thanks so much and I look forward to viewing more of your lovely work! Liked & Subscribed too! 😉

[LamplighterScott]

YES! Would love to learn more about Nice's different neighborhoods to live in. I've been there twice, but have more of a tourist's impression of the city's major areas.

[gbarraco]

Yes please cover more neighborhoods in Nice!

[jamesrainbow]

Thank you for your “introductions”! Very timely indeed, as we retirees plan to move to Nice this Summer? Fall? We visit in May, so happy to discover the various neighborhoods suitable for expats.😊 We would be particularly interested to learn the cost ( even ball park?) of the apartments that you show - will you only show sales or will you demonstrate rental apartments as well? Very appreciative to all the exposure! Merci !

[ninajanssen]

I absolutely love this! Please keep making more!

Maia and Emre -- I wanted to congratulate on one of the most interesting, thorough and thoughtful channel on YOU TUBE. My twin sister and I are coming to Nice in October for a scouting trips and we have been scouring your videos for intel on all places France and your style -- you both have it going on. And honestly the best part of your videos are that you both look so happy and in love -- SO if you are in Nice or one of several other places we are going based on your guidance -- let us know and maybe we can do a coffee meet at one of your favorites spots. In the meantime -- savourer the moments....

[angelicapeach]

Enjoyed your tour very much❣️ If you would please also do some Rentals and their prices, maybe more about the lifestyle and available transportation, that would be very helpful and wonderful. Merci 🙏🏼

[vaunmalone]

Great videos like the intermix of neighbourhoods and property sales.

[KathieMcBroom]

Loved seeing your video on Carabacel. We just returned from Nice three days ago. Yes....please add more neighborhoods around Nice. As someone mentioned, all the videos about Nice have the same topics. It was wonderful to see such different topics as well as apartments around that area. Your videos on eateries are great, but fun to see stores and shops etc. Keep doing the neighborhoods. Musiciens could be next?

[estherderbyshire]

I would like to see more. Thanks for sharing❤

[majelthesurreal]

Your channel just popped up for me today. I really enjoyed this one. I subscribed. 😊

[kenmatthews]

Another great video. Keep up the good work.

First- it was such a pleasure meeting you on the street in Beaulieu sur Mer in February! Definitely serendipitous and such a treat for us! Ironically, as we watched this video of Nice, you were right below our apartment in the Carabacel (we stayed just above the Librarie Massena). Crazy! Anyway, thank you so much for this video - we are moving to Nice in February and are really trying to narrow down where we want to be. We'll be in Beaulieu for a month in Sept/Oct but will also be looking in Nice - we'd love to see more neighborhoods - especially apartment inside Cimiez/Rimier as well as the Musicien and Liberation areas as well. Thank you so much for what you do - we really appreciate you! Hope to see you again - Christy and Naser
