✼ ABOUT US ✼
We are Nate and Katrina, two Americans living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and traveling as much as we can to see what there is to see! Call us expats, immigrants, whatever... just call us already.

We balance work life with travel... as best we can! We would love to visit every country in Europe while we live here, and definitely keep a list of our global “must visit” destinations.

We try to give you a true view of us and how we travel and explore the world. Lots of food, definitely some jokes, and probably some swearing…. Hope you enjoy taking these trips with us!

The four dragons are NOT cast bronze. They are made of beaten copper sheet parts and riveted together. If you watch close up, you can spot the seams and rivets. They were made in Vienna, Austria at the very end of the 19th century.

The middle bridge used to be for cars, buses..Since the city is close for the traffic it's free for walking.

Always love your videos❤️ Love how Katrina sometimes throws a Dutch word in her sentences, like aardappel pure 😄 You both are getting more Dutch every video 👍👍

Slovenia is the only country in the world, with the word love in it ...

[mostakahmedsimon]

Slovenia is the most underrated country as it's less marketed despite having sublime beauty, rich history & culture and welcoming society.

Seeing Katrina (and Nate) having a great time somewhere on this planet really makes me happy. I grew up during the cold war. I was told that under Sovjet occupation, Eastern Europe was a bad and dark place with poor people, no culture, gray buildings. As the Berlin wall disappeared and these countries opened up, I learned that we all were misinformed. Beautiful cities, friendly people, excellent food and lots of culture and history. (I know that since 1989 things have improved and before that it may not have been so nice as it is now, but still)
So every time I see how beautiful it is in countries like Slovenia, a country that I am totaly unfamiliar with, I am pleasantly surprised. Ljubljana is beautiful, clean, safe, filled with history and friendly people. And I bet way cheaper than lets say Amsterdam or San Francisco.
Today in the EU there were elections. Not everybody went and voted. We take our freedom and welfare for granted. Vlogs like these show us how grateful we should be. Thanks for that.
Can't wait for the next one. And very soon you'll hit the 10k mark. It's about time too! Keep it up.

Thank you for remembering me to visit Ljubljana again. I mean it ( mean comment 🤣🤣)

When you are on the dragon bridge; legend has it, that dragons will wag their tails, when the good mother-in-law crosses the bridge - and so far we haven't detected a tail wag...
Your pronunciation is just fine - for everyone else: Loo-blee-aa-nah.

5:30 It's a drinking fountain

9:12 The second bridge: this is (officially) the Butcher's Bridge and, for many, the Lovers' Bridge - 2 in 1

12:28 The middle bridge of the triple bridge was intended for traffic. But since the city center is closed to traffic, all three have the same purpose. And this little car is electric, and it is intended for the transport of the elderly, the disabled and tourists - for free!
A little further on is the cobbler's bridge, which you missed.

15:57 The Ljubljana skyscraper was opened on February 21, 1933. At the time of its opening, it was the tallest building in Central Europe and, until World War II, the tallest building in the Balkans.

17:22 Slovenians call it "shmorn" (kaiserschmarrn - without Kaiser) which literally means "Emperor's Mess".

Thanks for visiting! Greetings from Ljubljana. 🐉❤

Just a factoid to drop, "The Skyscraper" was built in 1933 and was the 8th or 9th tallest building in Europe at the time. We just kept the name.

[AljazKoren]

Dragons is mostly Ljubljana like they are not known to be comonly used everywhere its mostly Ljubljana i dont know any other place tht would have tht there is probably tho.

No biggie. Just omit the J's and say 'LOOBLANA, ' like the locals do. ;) And your music choice is 10/10.
