Hi! My name is Martine, and I'm a digital nomad and keen photographer who is always on the look-out for beautiful and photogenic places. I travel the world to find such places, and when I do, I share them here, with you! This year my channel will focus mostly on Europe, as that's where I've spent most of my time lately (coming up: Romania, Bulgaria, Germany, UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and Sweden), but down the track there will be many videos from many other parts of the world -- Turkey, Iran, Morocco, China, India, etc. So if you like to see pretty images of beautiful places and learn a little about their history besides, do hit that 'subscribe' button!
Sighisoara | A Quick Tour of a Gorgeous Medieval Town
The medieval town of Sighisoara is a Transylvanian fairy tale that very much deserves your time, so I thought I’d present you with this quick travel guide of what to see and what to do when visiting this beautiful place. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999, Sighisoara is home to a beautiful citadel on a hill, with brightly coloured houses, a fourteenth-century clock tower, a long covered staircase and lovely views whichever way you turn. It’s also the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, the historical inspiration for Count Dracula, so you’ll find plenty of Dracula souvenirs, too. Romania doesn’t get much more picturesque than this, so come with me as I explore this medieval gem!

Are you planning to visit Maramures, Romania? If so, be sure to watch this Maramures travel guide, in which I show you the highlights of my three days in north-western Romania. If you want to know where to go and what to see in Maramures, this video is for you! Included in the video: the Merry Cemetery (Cimitirul Vesel) in Sapanta, the Barsana Monastery (Mănăstirea Bârsana), several gorgeous wo...
Thank you for a very informative video. Taking my trailer sailor boat and Arran will be one of my stops.😊
The only problem with Arran is if you do not have a car you are stuck in Brodick. visited in June,wanting to show off this gem to American son and Mother in Law . No coaches to tour island was a let down. We did get a bus to the castle,and that was all we could see. 😢
Very, very beautiful! How much do I pay for a Inn ?
What a great video. So impressed
A beautiful lady ❤. Dobspato Newcastle Upon Tyne England 😘😘😍
I'm a retired video production teacher in Canada. Although I've watched 100s of videos on CZcams, yours is the first one I would give a grade of 100%. I knew it would be exceptional in the opening introduction and you didn't disappoint. I did a circle tour of Scotland last year but did not have time to fit Arran in. On my next trip in 2024, I will be starting on Arran. With the information you have provided, plus the contributions of other commentators below, I will have a fantastic beginning to that trip. I look forward to watching other videos that you have produced. THANKS.
Wow, thank you very much for those lovely words! You have absolutely made my day. I feel I simply have no choice now but to get back to editing the dozens of videos I have in the pipeline, and which I'd almost given up on... Anyhow, I hope you enjoy your tour of Arran next year. It's a great island, and I'm sure you'll love it.
@@findingthatperfectspot4692 My comments were well deserved! Question: is one full day driving around the island enough to see the best parts or should I plan for two? Thanks
Not all of the beachs are rocky or have pebbles. You didn't mention the sand beaches of Brodick, Lamlash, Whiting Bay and a place on the South. Even Blakwaterfoot has a bit of sand. Alos, no mention of a myriad of walks and the Loch up in the hills with a great view. Plus, there are over a hundred species of Birds to see, including Golden Eagles, Perigrine Falcons, Buzzards and Kestrels.
Alas, there was only so much I could see and record in five days, one of which was very rainy... I'm afraid you'll have to upload a video of the sandy beaches, walks in the hills and peregrine falcons yourself. 🙂
I'd love to visit Arran. Some of my ancestors came from there.
Do visit the island! You won't be disappointed. 🙂
Very helpful video - you give us some excellent pointers for our up coming trip! 👍😊
Thank you! I hope you enjoy your trip. 🙂
A good Tate of Arran, but a pity you didn’t show the sandy beaches as well. The impression you give is that the beaches are all rocky and stony which could be off putting for families withchildren
Unfortunately, it rained cats and dogs the day I was supposed to visit the sandy beaches. I decided not to get my camera wet. :-) Duly noted, though...
There are two sandy beaches one at Kildonan and Blackwater foot near the Shiskine Golf Course. You can also do the Kings Cave from Shiskine/Blackwateroot. Seals also at Whiting Bay and Kildonan and Otters along same area as well as Pirnmill.
Thanks for the information! Very useful. I visited the beach at Kildonan, but was too focused on photographing rocks to shoot the sand. Unfortunately, it rained the day I visited Blackwaterfoot. 🙂
Great video..... Next time visit Blackwaterfoot beach..one of the amazing sandy beaches....and visit Shiskine golf course there too.....go out to 4th green to see the cliffs of the Doon... Dougarie Lodge is not a golf course tho............
Very nice video. I look forward to my visit on the Isle of Arran and other sites in Scotland this summer.
Thank you! I hope you have a great time, and I also hope you have better weather than I did. 🙂
There are actually TWO Whisky distilleries on Arran😊
Great! The more, the merrier, right? 🙂
@@findingthatperfectspot4692 one in the north, one in the south 😄
@@JoergS. Perfect! 🙂
Thanks for making this! Great video :)
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Thanks for this lovely Video
Thank you for enjoying it! :-)
Great video. I've cycled round the Island many times. Stunning place.
Thanks for the kind words! I hope some day to be able to cycle round the island myself. A girl can dream... 🙂
Hi, about the name Pălăguță ( the letter "ă" is pronounced as "a .book,..a car,.." and, the letter "ț" îs pronounced as "ts" .. țar / tsar). The suffix "uțâ" show us that is a diminutive. The root of the name is Pelaghia ( "ghi" is pronounced like gui ..guitar) and it is a very old christian women first name related with the greek Pelaghia - "marine". The name is also mentioned as a nickname of the godess Isis. Similar examples in other languages, ..germ. Pelagius, italian Pelagio, Pelagia, spanish Pelayo,..
Thank you very much for etymology of the name! I knew that 'uță' is a diminutive (I speak Romanian well enough for that 🙂), but I wasn't aware of the origin of the name Pelaghia. Interesting!
At 2:30 you translated as "Here lies God's own Robu" Robu in Romanian means servant, so it said "Here lies God's own servant" However if his name was Robu aswell then he was doing a celver play on words.
I had no idea! Thank you for telling me. I do think it was a pun. :-)
Great video, could be next Year's holiday destination 😊
Thank you! I think you'll find Arran is well worth a visit. 🙂
In de Iza-vallei komt de naam Palaga gewoon veel voor (of de verkorting Palaguta), door vernoeming en een aan inteelt grenzende onderlinge band tussen mensen. De naam Irina is ook oververtegenwoordigd. Ach, in Volendam zie je het immers ook.....Het was een erg geïsoleerd en moeilijk toegankelijk gebied, wat vermenging ook niet erg ten goed komt.
Crisp video...lovely photography...you've warmed me to visit Arran, one of the few Islands I never visited. Its certainly beautiful with plenty of historical features. Thanks for posting.
You're welcome! Do visit Arran -- I promise you won't regret it. I can't wait to go back myself! 🙂
Thank you. What a wonderful video.
What a lovely compliment! Thank you so much. 🙂

Loved the images of Rosa and Sannox - Been to Arran so many times, but will return.
Thank you! I loved both Rosa and Sannox. I'm glad you enjoyed my take on both places. I hope to see them again some day, as well. :-)
Excellent video!! I'm from Maramures, thank you for remember my beautiful and rich of tradition region!!!
Thank you! You're welcome. I hope to visit your beautiful part of the world again some day. :-)

If you don't care about the monastery don't go there in the first place, Barsana is not Disneyland even the comparation is insulting.
The 'eye roll' moment had me chuckling hard!!! 😅👏🏻 Great video! I need to go back myself
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad I got a chuckle out of you. Scottish weather is something else, isn't it...?
I cycled round the Ilse of Arran in 2016.
Did you enjoy it? The cyclists I met who did it told me they enjoyed the circuit but had some difficulty with the hilly road that cuts the island in two. I definitely saw a few cyclists struggle on that road. :-)

Great video thank you. Couple of points. The islands capital is Lamlash, not Brodick. There are also many pure sandy beaches on Arran. Great video, one of best I have seen. Superb camera work.
Thank you for making my day! I'm so glad you enjoyed my blurry little video. :-) Also, thank you for setting the record straight on Brodick and Lamlash. I'll keep it in mind. As for the sandy beaches, I know there are some nice ones near Blackwaterfoot, but as I mentioned in the video, I didn't get a chance to explore them because of bad weather. I'll be back for them some day!
I just Googled the capital of Arran. It is Brodick.
Nice! Very detailed video and description.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you liked my little video. Stay tuned for more Romania videos! :-)
Hello matine may I have your social media account please.
Thanks for the tour, it looks like a beautiful island. The walking trail looks amazing, we definitely want to do this some day. Thanks for sharing 🍻
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the tour. I, too, really hope to do the coastal walk some day. Let's see who gets to post the video first! :-)
Aaran jumpers origins, wool, patterns, and photos of locals wearing same ????????
I assume you're referring to Aran knitwear, which is from the Aran Islands in Ireland. This video is about the Isle of Arran in Scotland. Different place altogether.
You’ve captured our island really well. I loved your perfect pronunciation of the place names too! 👏 Your photos and video shots are really well done. Your channel deserves way more subs. You got one from me anyway! Nearly at 💯
@@CamsCampbell A very belated thank-you for your lovely comment, which I only just saw, and which has made my day! I'm glad you enjoyed my video and my pronunciation of the place names. I tried my best on both of them. 🙂I hope to publish more videos soon, and I hope you enjoy those, too!
Foarte frumos! (Un vampir din Transilvania)
Multumesc frumos, domnule vampir! :-)
Romania's most traditional county is Slovakia and southern Poland! 🇷🇴🇵🇱🇸🇰
???!!!
An very well made video. Great travel guide and beautiful photo shots too! Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm still learning and have a long way to go, but I'm really glad you enjoyed this video. :-)
Thank you for presenting the beautiful places in our country!
You're welcome, and thank you for having such a wonderful country! I love Romania. :-)
@@findingthatperfectspot4692 Please remember, this is all politically for the Romanians. But culturally and morally, it has always belonged to the Hungarians, it always is, and it will be forever!! 🇭🇺
I can't locate this little church in Stramtura, could you please send coorditnates or instruction how to get there? It looks amazing
Nevermind! Found it :)
@@barocklublin Glad to hear it! :-)
Those water mills are natural washing machines ;)
I know, but according to the Muzeul de Etnografie in Brasov, they also used to be used to create shaggy blankets! The museum has a whole video on traditional blanket-making in which these natural washing machines feature heavily. :-)
A breathtaking place! I enjoyed my time, was so lovely!
Yes, it's lovely, isn't it? I can't wait to go back some day!
To my Romanian subscribers: more Romania videos ARE coming up, but I had to get this one out of my system first. :-)
👏👏👏👌
Thank you, Yuliya! Much appreciated. :-)
👍👍👍👍👍
Multumesc frumos. :-)
cu placere .as din maramures locuiesc an spania
Your photography is stunning. You really have an artist's eye.
Why, thank you! That's a lovely compliment. I hope you'll enjoy the videos I have coming up, as well. :-)
Lovely place 🥰
It is! Highly recommended to any traveller. I hope to be back some day myself.
Maramures is beautiful and have amazing trditions.
It's gorgeous! I loved my stay there and would happily have stayed quite a bit longer. :-)
That's the best video about visiting Maramures on the internet, thank you! I was struggling to find anything this detailed
Thank you so much, and apologies for the late reply! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have several more Romania videos coming up, so stay tuned. :-)
