Finland and Sweden have different track gauges, so trains on one network cannot physically run on the other.
That's likely the reason for the rail networks not being connected to each other.
You guys are one of the nicest travelers on youtube
Keep smiling as always
You guys are so informative I'm taking notes for my own trip, my favorite part of course was Finland ❤️

Thanks for sharing! I am a swede living in Finland so I enjoyed your summer adventure extra much I think.
I enjoyed it all!! You guys are great!! Next!!
A quick explanation as to a probable reason the Finland-Sweden rails are not connected: the rail width (track gauge) is different between the countries and the bus was the easiest and most cost efficient solution to connect the two. When railways were being built in the North in mid-1800s, Finland was part of Russia and thus has the Russian rail width even today. Russia chose to have wider rails compared to the rest of Europe, my guess would be as another way to keep an eye who was coming and going and get money because only Russian trains could travel on Russian areas.
Nice to hear you enjoyed Finland :D
I have heard one reason was to prevent any foreign military from easily using the Russian railway system in invasion/occupation. Back when railways appeared, it was a revolution for moving troops and equipment. There were also armoured trains and massive railway guns.
Loved your videos guys! Very nice!!
You guys are so sweet. I appreciate your honest opinions. Especially when people are planning their travel plans. You're the best!
Taking off for Helsinki tomorrow. Can’t wait.
Just love how honest you both are 👍 x
i'mma watch this tomorrow morning cause in Romania ( like Turkey) is the middle of the night. like the lipstick Ash !! beautiful
Thanks for sharing! Miss u here in Morocco since your last trip to Fes 😉😀😀
Awesome summary of the Nordic experiences, my fav was the surprise cruise to Russia, did not know that was even a thing or possible and looked like an amazing adventure to add to everything else !!! Thank you both for being real and relatable and woke !!! Always enjoy when your videos drop !!!
I think some people forget that while they spend time with family and friends every day or every weekend, you guys it’s very much different because of your travelling and time with friends is very, very much a luxury you can’t or wouldn’t wish to miss out on. You went, you experienced, even if everything wasn’t to your personal liking heck the experience is all part of the fun.
How do you guys make me smile, every time!?!? Love!!
I LOVE THAT!!!
Thank you for showing us. I would love to visit Norway! Good to know about Oslo. Loving your videos!
I almost thought it was a Tidbit Tuesday video but it's Saturday. 😅 Looking forward to your next series!
I have the same impression about Oslo as you and I were born and raised there. Now I live in the countryside and love the silence, nature
Yay! Funland wins! :)
I am great fan of Nordic countries and wish I could work there for few years to explore these amazing places full of fjords and mystic northern lights. And of course fantastic people.
Where are you off to next or is nothing planned and just go somewhere on a whim? If one is already in Europe it is not possible to purchase the Eurail pass , it is an Inter rail ticket/pass, works exactly the same way, purchased for X number of days, seat reservations, 1st. class or sleeper services have a surcharge.
Too bad you didn't go to the northern parts of Norway! We also have the midnight sun, and you probably would love the northern lights and maybe dog sledding during the winter
By the way, I have friends from Oslo who don’t love Oslo. Stavanger, I imagined wasn’t very interesting. Due to your video, I now know I have to take my friend up on his invite to visit. I’ve only been to the Oslo bus station and train station. I’ve been to Trondheim twice. Only a place to go if you have friends there to visit. It’s a nice, smallish city that in some ways reminds me of Berkeley, minus the warmer weather and homeless, and crime issues.
I live in Oslo, but I must agree that as a tourist, there's nothing much to see here apart from office buildings. . There's a viking ship museum with a real ship that's worth seeing, and the sculpture park, but if you've been to 60 amazing countires already, I'd recommend going to see the fjords and the more touristy cities on the west coast.
Great vlogs guys, thanks for sharing. As you both have been having a break in Istanbul and releasing fewer videos which we totally understand, it would be great if you announced on CZcams that your not releasing a video that day or there is a delay in downloading the video because of xyz. It would be awesome to see your subscribers and views rise so if people could see a little reminder of your videos on a day of a normal release I’m sure that would help get your numbers up.
love sweden and swedish people 💕 will back again in the duture
Lovely makeup, Ash! 😂😂😂
Marylin Monroe lipstick on point Ashley
Joker😂
Hum, on that map you showed going from Sweden *via* Trondheim in Norway and then down south to Oslo.
But there's no videos from Trondheim.
Did you stop there?
so where are you guys be heading to now ??
You are so pretty, and clearly the brains of the duo. Nice lipstick.
Wowww what a lovely Couple that gives me a goodvibes and positive outlook always Hello sir Josh and mam Ashely I'm happy to watch you again thanks fro sharing tour Experiences in Finland,Norway.

We have a bunch of Vids there!! czcams.com/play/PLNoO2EcowQXtF4tFJ_VOVFFYbAN2yCHLB.html
Plz come back to Qatar and go to this amazing island called banana island and if you go there you have to try surfing
If you visit Oslo you must go and see the viking museum at Bygdöy.
The viking ships are very impr,essive
you need to come back on a more nature centered trip in the northeren part of norway :) from Trondheim and northbound. through HELL (name of the town were i live)(no joke).
and onwards to lofoten with hiking midnight sun, or snowmobile rides in winter, fishing ice-hotell, the list goes on and on :) what i am saying is give norway another shot:)
Spa 🤣 Good nordics talk, please no elevator-music next time JB 💩 Yeah Ash, Finland 😎 It showed, you guys had extra big smiles when adventuring in Finland 😁 Shoplifting ice cream cone stands and everything 😆 👍
Finland has different track gauge than basically every other European country. That is the technical reason why tracks are not connected at the Swedish border. They are connected at the Russian border though.
In Australia different states have different gauges and the wheels are changed at the borders.
Finland is my choice from Europe too.
Question ......
Does “hitting the notification bell” give you more credence with CZcams?
Just wondering...,
Enjoyed your Nordic series. Beautiful photography.
Continued safe travels!
Naw! It just shows you when videos go live.
How can you say that you did the research, and you went to Gamlebyen? It seem like you missed out a lot of museums, like the Vikingmuseum, the Munch-museum and Folkemuseumet. But you may also seem to have not understand the Oslo-mentality. On one hand many are super-hip, and in the forefront of the international cultural scene, on the other hand it is their connection with nature and the combination of skiing/biking and hiking. A trip up the Holmenkollbanen, checking out the incredible views (as you did in Bergen), and then take a bike trip to, say Kikutstua, and spend a night there, would probably change your mind.
Perhaps they are not museum people? Not everyone is. Yeah, Oslo is pretty good with museums, parks and city life for the people who like that. But for people who want to see more of our unique landscape, old wooden buildings, etc. Oslo is not going to be good for that at all. And the city is not a good representation of what our country has to offer. Go pretty much anywhere along the west coast and you are going to get much more, no matter the size of town you choose to visit.
I had a change to compare Oslo and Helsinki in summer once, both are about the same size but Helsinki felt more busy, more happenings, more tourists. In Oslo you can see it's a wealthy city but it was more quiet than expected.
Sorry but compared to any other "big city" in nordic/scandinavia, Oslo has the least to offer. And nature wise it is it is one of the worst areas in Norway.
Welcome to morocco anytime
Just have seen you in Kadikoy Metro in Istanbul today 😂 ♥️
And you didn’t say hi??? 😭
Oh my kiddy aunt you look like movie stars Scandinavia has done you good xox hugs from London
Ahaha!! Well thank you
Oslo is a great place to live, but visiting is not so exciting. I think this goes for most nordic cities, but Oslo and Helsinki in particular seem better to live in than as a tourist.
train is hard for family tbh
Worst parts: Expensive, climate, and alcohol laws (except in Denmark, hehe)
Jonathan E Climate is the best bit
@@fletch397 Seriously!? Sure you never was here in winter. Grey skies give depression at once.
Jonathan E yes I’ve been to Finland at all times of the year and trust me your winters aren’t as grey as ours (England) I find the all your seasons beautiful
@@fletch397 Tropical/Desert places are still better :P
Jonathan E I prefer the cold haha I’m actually considering moving to Finland
Only 2 k !
Ashley, you have to listen to one good Finnish song because your lips are so red!

Josh will love what's going on!
As someone from Bergen i completely agree that Oslo is pretty shit 😝
Oslo is nice if you know what to look for, but one or two days is more than enough to visit all the interesting places. IMO it's a very typical city, more convenient than exciting. Bergen is much better looking visually, but Oslo looks nice enough from Tryvann.
Bergen is stunning and all you have to do is start walking in any direction. I lived there for a while and my favorite thing to do was to just look at the houses. Oslo is flat and industrial, so the complete opposite of Bergen.
What app do you use to convert prices to USD?
search for currency converter in the app store of your platform of choice, and choose one you like.
Please say Scandinavia in replace of Nordics.
When Norwegians travel in Norway, they avoid Oslo at all cost. People will rather take the craziest mountain roads in snowstorm of the century risking their lives than to drive through Oslo.
keep it honest. as a norwegian i don't think Oslo is especially nice either
I'm from Norway and I agree, Oslo is horrible :) I don't jam with it either.
100% agree about Oslo, so much more to see in Norway, Bergen or Tromso are better, but Norways as you said is all about the nature.
Guys if you get to go to mainland europe, spend a few days in Luxembourg. This micro state has lots to see in a weekend, castles galore, vineyards, lots of nature.
Those red lips ...
Bergen (my city, lol) is so much better and prettier than Oslo.
Well never mind it's fix now you tube fix it.
Couldn't agree more, Oslo is a hole.
Couple's: Love
Eyes: Blessed
Me: Filled with Laughter
Tea: Spilled
Hotel: Trivago
Yeah Oslo is kinda boring city with nice people. The city feels like no soul, no real old town
There is no particular definite old town in Oslo, like in many other european cities, for many ancient reasons. But it has a lot of places that will feed you with such vibes. Therefore it was kind off a let down when two of the most proficient travel vloggers on the tubes decided to do a whole Oslo travel vlog based on a visit to a graveyard, gamlebyen (which they obviously didn't research), Barcode/Bjørvika, Karl Johans gate, The Royal Palace and Aker Brygge ;)
Ashley and Josh, I really wish you will come back. I will gladly show you around Oslo, from a locals perspective.
We'll visit Telthusbakken, Gamle Aker, Damstredet, Kampen, Brenneriveien, the stretch of Maridalsveien near Sagene, and have a stroll along the Aker river. There you have it for free, and the refreshments is on me. For your next visit to Oslo ;)
