Tourists Don't Come Here (Stranger's Invitation) 

Over to you: would you accept a stranger's invitation? 🙃

I am happy that you are promoting Romania. The country really deserves it. My (Polish) wife and I (Saxon) and our children like it very much. After the tourist hotspots, we would like to get to know the still wild and untouched Romania and there is still a lot to discover. Thank you Eva and lots of courage for the future. Because the world belongs to the brave... -:)) Dziękuję Ci bardzo

Edith is amazing! She is so nice and auch an interesting character. She walked all this way, she speaks fluent German and English and probably Romanian, she invites travel RU-vid’s into her home and and and ... she is a very special person 💕

Its like Eva met an older version of herself in Edith!!!

“Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” So inspirational. So is, “The world belongs to the brave.”

I live in Transylvania, I consider this part, the most beautiful side of the country. All kind of people come here to visit, but I am happy to see that travellers like you, who is not afraid to discover the people's life beyond the postcards, keep coming here aswell. I hope you had a magical time in Romania.

Eva,you don't just scratch the surface of a country, you take us into the heart of it. Amazing and beautiful. Thank you for showing us what real community is all about.

As an Overlander completly in love with Romania, i always take the small roads to end up in these villages especially the ones thay are close to the mountains. Romania is incredibe.

I was overwhelmed emotionally several times during the video. It really touched my (core) heart's love and desire; that incredible joy and beauty of bridging the gap between strangers in such a welcoming, warm, sharing and encouraging (loving) and open way. 💖 Beautiful journey✨

Echt tolles Video! Es ist schön zu sehen, dass sie Siebenbürger Sachsen ihre Kultur noch zum Teil pflegen. 800 Jahre Geschichte ist schon sehr eindrücklich. Was mir sehr gut in Siebenbürgen immer gefallen hatte, dass Deutsche, Ungarn, Rumänen und Roma friedlich miteinander leben. Da können sich viele Länder eine Scheibe abschneiden! Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz, David-

I was there more than 10 years ago but I loved saxon areas of romania ....and whole transilvania... Architecture in these villages is so great. Even small ones.

Transylvania it's beautiful. You can see Siebenbürger Sachsen culture influence everywhere. Too bad many of the German population had to leave Romania, but hopefully some of them will return home.

Edith reminds me of my childhood just a few villages away from her place. It just looks alike and the traditional clothes just gave me the chills, as did her singing. Like her daughter, I live in Hamburg... maybe my mom even knows them. Would love to return to Transylvania my „Siebenbürgen, süße Heimat“, one beautiful day.

Edith is a true philosopher, she has known life. She has a very lovely soul What you can do or dream you can Begin it, just begin it Boldness has genius Power and magic in it

I loved Edith's song so much! What a thoughtful gift to give. There is such power and soul in the words. The world needs more people like her in it.

Hello Eva! I'm new to your channel. I was stunned to discover an actual village in which no one locks their doors or cars. It's utopia - a world in which no one locks doors, no one needs to live in fear. Still having a hard time wrapping my head around this. But glad I saw it.

I live in Romania a few months a year. I am an American I like the real food, clean air and people are friendly

ooooh... my heart. I miss these dirt roads and warmness of heart that I have met in Romania. Also, this is a fascinating story about Transylvanian Saxons. What a wonderful lady!!

So lovely.. I love how edith shows how excited she Was meeting you eva.

Awww that song was so cool!! ❤️😊

I like your quote " the world belong to the brave". U r amazing lady.

Most people are very friendly, I think we are taught to fear and mistrust everybody but in reality, good people attract good people. Eva, you have no prejudice and have a huge heart. The world belongs to the brave with an open heart! 🤗😍💖🌍🤩🥰🌎

Little did Eva know that she was actually on Edith's channel-such beautiful countryside,thanks for sharing

I want to live this kind of tourism. To feel welcomed. I cried at the end when goodbyes were exchanged

Oh my, this brings back so many childhood memories. I feel like I'm back at home. Thanks for sharing beautiful corners of my dear motherland 🙏💜

My heart is so full! Edith is so precious! I bet you feel so blessed to have met her! 🥺

I love seeing this. My beloved friend was born in Romania. His dream is to go back and visit. I hope his health returns and make his dream came true.

It's the kind of village I would seek out to visit. I grew up in a touristy town in Alaska. The best adventures are on the road less traveled.:)

awe this was so sweet, I found my self beaming in smiles from cheek to cheek and singing along the song too! "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it just begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"

There is something about Edith’s voice that is so soothing. I could listen to her voice reading a story and drift to sleep.

This girl is definitely in my top 10 of all time

We need a few billion more Ediths on earth and all wars and bickering will cease. Fantastic adventure

OMG! I'm totally touched by this video. Edith has a singing star that I wish to see in person. Loved her!

Made me so teary at the ending part where Eva was saying goodbye to Edith and her friend Rose. Made me remember of my Belgian English land lady, she is always full of wisdom and I really cared for her 💕

Hi Eva! So heartwarming and enlightening an experience. This is the true nature of travel; not just to see tourist spots but to experience and learn different cultures and build communities!

I definitely needed this reminder of humanity and connection. Thank you for always being such a beautiful spirit

Just thinking, when Eva get married, she will have at her party people from all around the Globe, the best party ever! 🤔😍🍷💘

I don’t travel much, but watching your videos of your travels fills my my mind and heart with joy! You are truly an amazing person how you show the world other cultures and things people might have in common even thou there are thousands of miles separating. ♥️

It was a really, really wonderful experience, Eva. I was amazed how warm, friendly, and good hearted Edith is…was elated to know the amazing history of Edith’s family. Beste Grüße aus Niedersachsen!😘🤗

Sometimes the best places to visit are those that people simply pass by. Culture is in every day situations. I especially loved this video! Thank you, Eva and Edith!

Made me cry towards the end. Love the song, so inspiring. And your message at the end, really so inspiring. 💕♥️ This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing moments like this. 💕♥️

What sets your channel apart from other travel vlogs is your adventure side. And in a world that says women shouldn't adventure alone your channel is inspiring and special. I am slowly building my own adventure channel with the idea of building a community that inspires subsribers to connect with each other and help each other out in whatever adventure they feel drawn to. Thanks for being a great inspiration

Yes, I agree: the difference between a tourist and a traveler: a tourist will see the famous sights and check the boxes, whereas a traveler will wander around, meeting the local people, and gaining life experiences. Actually, I prefer a little bit of each, but with more time as a traveler.

The world belongs to brave ❤❤ -Eva zu beck

What a beautiful video. Edith, you are warming my heart. You made my day, love from Indonesia

Thank you for being such an inspiration for me and for motivating me to push my international horizon further during this difficult time for me personally😎 Much appreciation from Norway🇳🇴

Yes, this is exactly how I like to travel! My husband and I have stayed with strangers. Never a bad experience and unforgetable.

Recently found your channel by chance and now, i feel like am addicted to your vlogs.

Beautiful Eva .. Stay safe, best of luck from Croatia!

That song just made my day. Thankyou, so much for taking me to those people and places . You never know where you gonna meet your angel.

That's so cute that she has a guest book in her house.

That was so sweet, you have such a lovely friendly personality, you lifted my day Eva !

Eva, this was beautiful! You made the right call. Got me teary-eyed at the end, too. Bless you, Eva! And Edith too! ❤

Wonderful. I love the friendship struck up between young and old with mutual respect and kindness.

These ladies all want to adopt you as there granddaughter! ❤️

I discovered your channel a few days ago, in the middle of a self-isolation process for safety/preventive reasons, and you have become a true source of inspiration for me, really. I had forgotten how much I love travelling and getting to know different cultures from locals' perspectives. I really wish this pandemia is over soon and that we get back the freedom to travel basically anywhere and make experiences of this kind. Hope to become a version of "you" someday, so brave and inspiring, always showing the best of people and discovering the best part of yourself, too. We all have an Edith waiting for us in a remote part of the world, I am sure. Warm hugs from Spain.

Edith’s song definitely suits you. Simply beautiful, you have such a way to connect with people.Fare well Eva.

Whatever you can do or dream you can.Begin it,just begin it. Just two lines of a song and yet very powerful and inspirational. Love the old woman,Grandma Edith😍

Wow!! Eva... your journey is amazing and an inspiration!!😊😊

What a lovely lady Edith is. You are so fortunate to meet such lovely people and visit such awesome places. Enjoy life Eva.

I love how you got my same adventure vibe and same excitement in travels. Who pays for all the travels you do?

I like that you are exploring areas that people just don't explore. The kind of place that has memories and history ♡

The world belongs to the brave.. and the humble! Eva, I did my globe trotting back in the mid to late 90's when the world was a very different place. The internet was just becoming established and I remember my wild and fabulous Canadian friend opening my first hotmail account in a cyber cafe in Tokyo! Back then I traveled solo for the most part, unless I was fortunate enough to meet a fellow traveler -then journey together for a few days or weeks. I met so many wonderful, kind and generous people along the way, who invited me into their homes, bought me food at train station stops, all of whom had some golden nugget of wisdom and stories to share. Back then we would try to keep track of each other after these fateful meetings with random postcards and first attempts at email! Like your self I wasn't stupid about accepting every invitation - I trusted my gut and intuition, as their were no search engines yet to track or verify people. Many people thought I was brave and nuts to travel solo for so long and yet once in the flow it came natural to me; to trust in others and wake up in different spots every day, week or month. I had the most incredible 3 years on the road journeying all over the S. Pacific rim, and it would not have been so amazing and profound if I hadn't met the exceptional people and made friends along the way. Happy trails, and I know you will stay safe ;-)

What really lovely people you have met on this visit. Edith is a lovely person. And what a lovely home she has.

Really enjoyed this video! And I like Edith. I'm from nearby Vojvodina, in Serbia, that looks very much like this area, and I have local German ancestors. So, all this seemed very familiar. 👍

Edith was just so full of energy & life & was so happy to have you in her home, what a lovely lady..❤️

Wow! You are in my homeland, România ❤️✌️👍🤗 Enjoy it!

Love that quote whatever you can do it dream you can, begin it. Boldness have genius. Power and magic in it. Especially when you sing it

You are literally the most interesting person ever on RU-vid and actually, on the internet! Your content is spectacular. Happy travels and stay safe Eva!

What a special way to travel! It's amazing how people can connect through social media in this way. 🥰

So refreshing to watch this...how life was/is supposed to be

I’m in love with the song: whatever you can do or dream you can begin it just begin it boldness has genius power and magic in it. I so love this video and the inspiration it brings to all of us!!!!!

Only in so called "developed" World or the west - you need to be wary of strangers and have 5 locks on the door..... Poorer the people are, more welcoming, friendly and human they are....

Tourists should visit the place. It has heritage in it. It has very warm and great people. Thanks again Eva for broadening our knowledge about Transylvania.

I reallyyyy enjoyyy watching Eva’s videos 💓💗

I am Canadian but my ancestors were from this area. So good to see.

Your happiness makes me sick! But i cant stop watching your videos

Awesome Video!!! The poem you learned reminded me of a poem my great aunt taught me 65 years ago or so: "For days are lost lamenting o're lost days; Are you in earnest? Then sieze this very minute!! Things you can do, or think you can, begin it!! For boldness has genius, magic and power in it!!"

Inhabitants of small towns and villages live a very simple life.

What you can do, or dream you can, begin it, Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it, Only engage, and then the mind grows heated- Begin it, and the work will be completed! -- "Faust", Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, translated (1853) by John Anster I had just recently added this to my little list of quotes, so how lucky to hear you singing it!

5:13 "this is the way" mandalorian intensifies

Some of the very best truths of travels right there. Fun song too... I'm still humming it.

I love the way you interact with strangers😊😊 and Edith just looked like my own grandmother. I would also like to invite you to India, but mind me, you may not be able to resist yourself from living here for whole of your life. Keep traveling and sharing such beautiful stories with us Eva😊😇👍🏻

Omg edith is a pure beautiful peaceful soul i hope she is good right now. I had tears on my eyes watching this warm video 💓💓

Edith is a pure soul! I love her

I absolutely love this video. I think it's a beautiful thing - people connecting across cultures. You can see that Edith was really so proud of everything that she was showing and talking about.

Marvelous 🤗 greetings from Serbia 😇😇😇😍

The beauty from the village! Such an amazing experience. Thank you, Eva for this beautiful meeting with Edith!

Magical, I find somthing new from this seasion 11:59 whatever you can do or dream you can. bigin it, just begin it. ❤❤❤

Edith, I adore you! This world needs more people like you. 🙏🏻❤️

Very beautiful and clean village love it💚

Thank you! This video was very heart warming, putting a tear in me eyes and a smile on me face!

I really like Germans that they are keeping a good memory of their families history. Good for them! 💖👏

Thanks for smiling and helping us smile too

This one had me smiling the whole time!😁😲❤

This is all truly wonderful. I tend to be a little too introvert for my own good, but your travel stories are really inspirational ! Cheers!

Best regards to a beautiful woman from a Slavic man that traveled all Eastern Europe as you do in the 1980's. so much has changed! But most remains the same

This is so heartwarming. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Greetings from Munich, it always nice to see Germans in different parts of Europe...

This is the kind of village I would love to visit and live. It looks very safe and lovely.
