Two travelers - one short, one tall - from two “M” states, now full-time digital nomads, document their adventures traversing highways, occupying beaches, and battling mountains around the world. Big & Small Travel is a home for words and pictures that represent our experiences and thoughts on travel, music, food, and whatever may strike our fancy. Travel geek? Music geek?
You are very welcome! Perugia is a beautiful town with a lot to offer. We are happy a local enjoyed the video. Also, we extended our stay by a couple of days because it was so enjoyable ... Traveling in the winter can be worthwhile. Are you now living in central Perugia?
Yes, Arezzo is a true hidden gem because it is easily accessible to Rome, Florence, and bigger cities like Milan because it is on the high speed train line. Have you been to this part of Tuscany?
@@BigSmallTravel we have been to Strove, Siena, Florence and some of the hilltop towns, including San Gimiano. We are looking for infrastructure but a walkable town for an authentic Italian immersion. We do not speak Italian, however.
Thank you that means a lot to us. So much of Italy and nearby Austria even Southern Germany are aesthetically beautiful. Also, Wolter's World has a particular brand and style that is appealing as well. We enjoy his earlier vides though. Lots of love to you!
Skopje Macedonian City looks fantastic and wonderful views of the city Skopje Macedonian is the best cantry in the Balkan I love my city Skopje Macedonian 🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰
Thanks! We enjoyed staying in Skopje. The people of Skopje were friendly and helpful. Also, we enjoyed the variety in this capital. Are you from Macedonia?
@@BigSmallTravel Hello, I am from Georgia. When I think about the history of our country, sometimes I think it is really a miracle that we still exist as an independent country and we are Georgians(Kartveli) but we are fighting and patriotic people. We have never been a conquering nation, we have always fought and harassed by others from all sides for centuries❤️🩹My country’s real name is Sakartvelo and we are Kartveli people🇬🇪Google Lazeti and Tao-Klarjeti, ofc if you are interested. Historically we are big country 🇬🇪with big history and culture, but we lost lots of territories and people, because of our enemies.
@@BigSmallTravel I am from Sakartvelo 🇬🇪In Turkey, there are lots of people with Kartvelian blood and roots, because of Turkey took Lazeti and Tao-Klarjeti from us. Also Trabzon province, these are historically Sakartvelo’s land🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Thanks for watching! Perugia is beautiful. We really enjoyed visiting this city in Umbria. We mainly stayed in the center and did not see any factories but we may have seen some cashmere stores. Will you be visiting Perugia?
@@joannehutt7120 You certainly should because Perugia is beautiful. Perugia is known for its chocolate and Etruscan history as well of course. Where are you based now?
It is beautiful landscapes of northern Turkey. I really enjoyed your video. It is a great cultural experience Black Sea region of Turkey. We will definitely visit that area.
Thank you for watching! This was one of our favorite trips still ... this part of Turkey is incredible. As you mentioned, it is a great cultural experience and beautiful place with the Black sea. Will you visit the Kackar mountains as well? We highly recommend it.
Hi! Thanks for watching. This video was from earlier this year before Summer. However, we do not usually vlog from London. However, we do want to return to the UK for sure.
Interesting point, it would have been better with mushrooms and tomatoes. Ironically, one of the better English breakfasts we had was in one of London's airports and another around Brick Lane, but the ambiance at Sheila's and the waiter made this English Breakfast better for RU-vid. Where is the best English breakfast in London?
Thank you for watching. That's an interesting fact. Are you from London? The history of the English breakfast is fascinating especially in regards to the industrial revolution.
@BigSmallTravel about 160 miles away in Derbyshire, pronounced Dar be sher, But I've worked and Lived around London in the Past , My heart and Soul is with the Midlands and North England 🏴.
Thanks for watching! We were in Montecatini in late May and early June. The weather was a little cool but starting to get warm. Tuscan winters are chilly and rainy. November is a nice time to travel because there are less tourists around in general.
@@BigSmallTravel I expect this comment is about the etiquette. The British table manners are very different from that of Americans. You will notice for example that the fork is placed on the left side of the plate and the knife on the right. You are expected to eat with the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right, throughout. Americans tend to use the fork in the right hand swapping it around when they need to use the knife. This is quite jarring to British table etiquette, especially in more formal surroundings. Here are some examples (there are many more): Start with Good Manners: - Wait until your host or hostess starts eating or indicates that you should do so. - Chew and swallow all the food in your mouth before taking more or having a drink. - Break bread and rolls with your fingers, not with your knife. - Soup should be spooned away from you, tilting the bowl away from you. Use Utensils Properly: - Hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right. - The fork is primarily used for eating most of your food, while the knife is for cutting meat or supporting food. - Never hold both utensils in one hand. - place both utensils together on the plate when finished eating Serviettes, Crockery, and Cutlery: - Place your serviette (napkin) on your lap. If it’s small, you may open it out fully; if large, fold it in half with the fold toward you. - When finished eating, place soup spoons, coffee spoons, and dessert spoons on the side plate or saucer, never in the bowl or cup. - Avoid pushing your plate away or stacking dishes.
@@graeradt Thank for the detailed explanation, we appreciate it for sure. The casual nature and relationship that most Americans have with food definitely plays a part in forming the way we as Americans even view or utilize cutlery. Are you from London?
The Elizabeth Tower was never called Big Ben, as Big Ben is a bell. Its the largest bell in the tower, the one that strikes the hour. I believe the tower was previously called St. Steven's Tower.
Thanks for watching of course, we appreciate it. Our point is that Big Ben was the nickname for the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster, and, by extension, for the clock tower itself. Are you in the UK?
Thank you! That was our aim-to show that London still has its Englishness. We wanted to show its authentic history, culture, and music . Have you been to London?
@@BigSmallTravelwhen eating the breakfast ( in fact all meals ) use the knife and fork all the times but keep the knife in your preferred hand in the right hand if you're right handed , left handed in the left. When eating use the forks ( tangs ) facing down and like all meals put more than one type of food on the forks this will enhance the taste , of course the tangs are face down just like in all meals
Yes, indeed! Seeing this bike race in Italy, neighboring country to France, is still not where we would have thought we'd see the Tour de France for sure! Where are you based?
@@mikewatchesstuff We need to return to Texas. Big and Small have spent several days in Austin. What city are you in? We just uploaded a video in London, England as you can see: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CcxFvCWc_BE.html Please comment!
What is the main train station? I believe there are two in town? A realtor suggested we put this town on our 'visit' list when we are in Florence this fall. She believes it's a great location if we want to be between Lucca and Florence.
Thanks for watching! When are you visiting Montecatini? We stayed near Montecatini Centro. This station is the smaller train station. Yes, there are two train stations in town, Montecatini Terme and Montecatini Centro It is definitely a great location to be for easy access to both Lucca and Florence. We were staying near the Centro station and honestly, it was probably our least favorite thing about the town! It is tiny and the machines never worked. The Terme station is bigger and probably better to use. That said, the trains were usually timely and when we had to take a bus during a train strike it was a smooth process. We would definitely put this town on your “visit” list and we recommend walking around all the different areas, especially north of the center and around Parco delle Terme. Enjoy your trip to Tuscany and let us know what you think of Montecatini! and is situated close to the centre of the town, just a 2 minute walk to Piazza del Popolo.
it used to be in a different place maybe 200 meters away from where it is now,it was a smaller place and when we were like 16-17 back in 99 - 2000,we would always make a stop near it when on weekend just to drink some bear and listen to DM.
Thank you for the information. I really appreciate getting information like this. By the way, I thought Tallinn was one of the nicest capitals in northern Europe. Do you live in Tallinn? We are Americans based in Italy.
Long life Russia , i lived in this shit country, without Russia and Germany and Soviet Union there will no fucking Latvia today , all what you se is either Swedish, German ,Russian or Soviet.
