I am so jealous. You guys are doing exactly what I want to be doing, but my better half is a homebody glued to the US. What a great job of making the math work. Not that I get a vote, but I love seeing menu prices.
Thanks for commenting. Hopefully you can get a compromise for a part time travel life at some point. I appreciate hearing that the menu information is helpful.
Wooooooow!!! Amazing home!!! I’m working on cruise ships since 2010 and I’ve been in Kotor so many times.. Beautiful place Montenegro.. Nice video guys!
Wow, beautiful home! We are on a transatlantic cruise from the US and will be spending 3 months in Europe to see what it is like to slow travel. Will be in Kotor Montenegro on May 8th. Can't wait to see that beautiful country and we will be making the decision about slow travel and doing the Schengen shuffle for our future. Right now we travel the US and Mexico in our van and having a blast. .
Wow....beautiful new place! Congratulations! A lot of light, a view, a brand new kitchen that makes the area look twice as big as before, a deck, and two great bathrooms. And so much more.. You are worth every inch of it! I'm a new subscriber and I am looking forward to watching more from you while catching up with your previous videos. Thank you. and stay well.
Windows! Light! I didn’t know how you could stay in your “cave.” Your new place has a lot of life; now you’ll feel better about staying at home. Congtrats!
Great post guys, just subscribed & I have to say. You are the first to list upload/ download speeds.😊 I love the customer service jokes, lol & I am looking forward to viewing your videos. Wow price points too - You guys rock!
Tq so much for sharing your new home. You both are a great couple. We are all unique individuals and so it’s hard to duplicate what you are doing but we can definitely appreciate your hard work and keep us informed about your progress. Btw, I live in Los Angeles and would love to visit all the places you have visited. But, it’s not easy to get aboard for you also need to have a compatible spouse to synch. You both are blessed in that manner.
Thank you for such kind words. We appreciate them. I hope you have an opportunity to see many of these places. We feel so very blessed to have experience so much in the last four years. We addressed the topic about spouses, not being in sync with each other for this lifestyle in our last video. It is incredible to us. How many people have asked our advice about this particular subject. We didn’t realize there were so many couples with the dilemma. Thank you for watching :)
Wow congrats on your new home! I gotta say I’m still in love with your apartment in the Old Town. I love how charming it was and the right smack in the middle of the action. You’re both truly are inspiring. Hubby and I hope to visit Kotor one day and hopefully bump into you both.
Thank you so much!! It was a precious apartment and there are definitely certain things I miss about it, but we needed more space away from constant crowds. The old town has an incredible charm. Sometimes when we visit it, it feels like we are going home again. Thanks for watching! 😊

I'm new to channel. Thoroughly enjoyed your video of what you did to your attic apt in Kotor and then the move to Tivat by the sea. Now I know I need to travel to Montenegro!. Will be following your adventures.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. The little attic apartment was certainly lovely, but it was time for something a little different. Thank you for watching and yes, you should definitely check out this beautiful little country.
It looks great 👍! Congratulations 🎊 on your new place ❤😊. Oh that weird gold tree 😅Where did it go ? Dumpster? Lol 😅. Its a great deal the bathrooms are perfect . New kitchen looks great too
New subscriber here; We are fortunate in that we don't need to leave the Schengen zone, as I have dual U.S. and Italian citizenships, allowing us to live anywhere in the E.U., but we do expect to travel to Montenegro and other east-side-of-the-Adriatic locations. We currently live in the U.S. and are selling our Florida home in late 2024, and moving to Spain. We bought a house in the Malaga area (we close purchase in May 2024), so will be able to further explore Europe at our leisure. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thank you so much for subscribing and sharing your exciting plans with us. We're thrilled to have you join our adventure-filled community! We hope you enjoy your new home!
Warren & Julie, i thoroughly enjoyed this video and wish to congratulate you both on the purchase of your new home but especially the magnificent transformation of it. When I compare what it ended up costing you and what we would have to pay for a similar home in Sydney with a water view,we would be looking at AUD 1.5 > 2 Million Conclusion « YOU’VE DONE EXTREMELY WELL « enjoy it and May it bring you Good Luck .
Thank you very much for the kind reply. We love it and we know it would be just like Sydney with cost almost anywhere in the United States. We are so glad you enjoyed the video ! Thank you for watching.
As nice as you had renovated the old place, it still looked like a luxurious attic to me. Your new place is phenomenal; so much better. The gold was very tacky and you really fixed it up nicely. Amazing views. The Serbian GF is now an ex but I am still interested in that part of the world and would love to visit, maybe even retire early there myself. Australia keeps just getting worse and worse by the week.
Thank you so much for watching. This part of the world is very special. We are very grateful we found it in 2014 and kept it on our radar. Our little apartment had its own charms. For short stays it was perfect! 😃
Are there HOA fees for your new home? That looks like a beautiful location. Are there any homeless people there? It looks clean and safe - unlike Los Angeles where I’m living now.
We do not currently have an HOA. We are in a very small complex and are in communication with all of our neighbors. We do not see homeless in this area.
You need to wake up, there are no such outrageous fees for HOA and property ownership in all Europe, it's just an all North American thing (so far Mexico excluded)
Since you have a home in Montenegro perhaps you can update what's going on in Montenegro and the Balkans. Temperatures over 40 Celsius and power blackouts throughout the region.
what is the weather actually like in different times of the year. Also what is the water temperature during those times (lakes vs bays vs seas). Is this a year round destination or best during xyz timeframe? also how long does it take to get around. when i look at roadways i see a lot of meandering, winding kind of roadways single lane. trying to gauge traffice getting around and getting in and out of the country by car. how long does it take you to get to the countries around you by car from where you are? maybe you can do a Montenegro video around logistics and weather if someone decides to use the country as a home base for Europe. trying to also gauge when you do your trips how you handle logistics overall. what is your process? do you map out your whole year from your home base before you leave? how long do you drive before sleeping for a night (especially with dogs travelling). if your 1st stop is more than a day drive to your airbnb do u stay at a hotel inbetween for a night? curious about the logistical details of how you plan and execute a trip from your home base and back.
There are a lot of questions here. We are working on some of these types of videos, but we also have many that we have produced in the past four years answering many of these. We have many friends that stay here full time. There is a mild winter in Montenegro. We plan to do a video on how we travel quite soon. It will detail what we pack in our car etc. Yes, we stay in accommodations for the night as needed on our trips.
Can you share honestly and openly how internationals are changing the affordability for the locals? We in Canada can't afford our own country because of internationals coming in like vultures, paying cash for homes and then upping the price of real estate for the locals. The Canadian laws are slow to protect its own citizens. How do Montenegro people appreciate foreigners upping the price of their homes and probably the prices of everything else?
We actually detail this information in other videos. Yes, we do pay property taxes but they are exceptionally less than we paid in the US, but no other fees. We will be doing more videos on these types of subjects soon including cost of utilities etc
Unless you received residency in that country through owning a home it would not free us up to travel. To enjoy a home in a Schengen country would reduce the time we have to explore other countries in the zone. Owning outside the zone gives us a place to wait out the clock.
@@WarrenJulieTravel, I don't understand what you are saying. We have several expat friends. To gain residency is a simple process. Some countries also offer residency when you buy a home while others give residency simply by investment. Once you have residency you are free to come and go as you please for as long as you like.
@@WarrenJulieTravel Innsbruck, Austria. I am Austrian. My next door neighbors are Americans. They just returned from a month in Italy. In July they plan to visit a friend who just bought an apartment in Porto, Portugal. We have American friends on the first floor who spend on an average of 6 months out of the country.
, congrats on the new home. I'm a Yank who just moved to Sicily. To get residency was just a matter of doing the paperwork. Even though I speak Italian fluently, I hired an attorney. It took a few months to be approved but there we no hitches. I also bought a flat on the coast. I think I got a better deal than you can do but then again I don’t know anything about real estate in Montenegro. I did pay a little more than you to remodel. Labor costs are higher. Seems we both made the right choice to meet our needs 👍
It looks like you made a profit on your old place. And you're still in good shape on your new place. When the time comes you'll make a profit on it. That will offset your cost and all your great adventures will be paying for themselves. How great is that!
Our wonderful friend had used his services for his kitchen and loved the results so he referred us. We were extremely pleased with his work and work ethic. He delivered everything he promised. Thanks for watching!

The heat wave has definitely been very hot.
The blackout in our area lasted about 4 hours. This blackout was very widespread.

Great apartment and location…. for some privacy Is it possible to put up a partition on the terrace/balcony .
Yes, it was the plan until we met our kind neighbor.

Montenegro has had foreign investment for decades. Tourism is their biggest industry; they depend on it.
I am looking to buy a property there. what is experience?
Please advice.
Tnx a lot

Just wondering if I missed it but do you have to pay any yearly property taxes or fees like in the USA.

Is it easy to get residency in Montenegro?
Here is our most recent video on the topic Live in Montenegro, How to Obtain Montenegro Residency in 2024

@WarrenJulieTravel thanks so much!
How good is the electrical grid in this area...?
It is perfectly fine for us. Thanks.
In many of your videos you complain about our Schengen laws. Why didn't you invest in a property within the Zone.
Unless you received residency in that country through owning a home it would not free us up to travel. To enjoy a home in a Schengen country would reduce the time we have to explore other countries in the zone. Owning outside the zone gives us a place to wait out the clock.

We are quite happy with our purchase 😃
"Customer service"?You know why Montenegrians keep chair besides bed?When they get up to take a rest.
Interesting information 😃
Kitchen remodel went great! How’d you find the contractor?
