We even made time to check out a unique bio park.

10 MUST-KNOW Things About Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

So, we did something we were curious about and headed to Naftalan, Azerbaijan to get a CRUDE OIL BATH. The whole town and resorts are built around this bizarre concept.

CHAPTERS
00:00 Welcome to a Strange New World
00:45 A Resort That Feels... Different
03:09 Anticipation Builds, But a Twist Awaits
04:48 A Town Steeped in Secrets
07:48 The Long-Awaited Moment
09:58 Thoughts After an Unforgettable Experience

The resort had… let's say… an unusual charm. Imagine stepping into a place that feels like a cross between a sanatorium and an elderly home, where the smell of hospital disinfectant mixes with cafeteria food. As the youngest guests by a solid 40 years, we couldn't help but wonder-what are we doing here?

Our first attempt at the infamous Naftalan oil bath didn't go as planned. Nervous, intrigued, and slightly confused, we found ourselves not in the black oil bath, but on massage tables due to a mix-up in appointments. But the strangeness didn't end there. Wandering through the quiet streets of Naftalan, it became clear-this town's obsession with oil is more than skin deep.

Finally, after soaking in the town's odd energy (and history), we returned for the experience we came for: the legendary oil bath. Was it everything we expected? Well… you'll have to see for yourself.

Why BAKU Should Be On EVERY Traveler’s List! 🇦🇿 (Vlog)

During the month we spent in Rome, our friend Ivy (aka the drag queen Heavy Passion), came to visit us for her first time in the Eternal City! Since she speaks almost only Italian and Ryan has been studying the language, we decided to challenge ourselves by speaking Italian for the entire time she was with us.
We took Ivy to all the must-see places in Rome, from the iconic Colosseum and Vatican to the stunning Fontana di Trevi and more. As you can imagine, we had an absolute blast navigating Rome, struggling with the language, and sweating in the August heat! 🌞
We hope this video helps you discover some of Rome's most famous attractions, and maybe even learn a bit of Italian along the way. If you're also learning a new language, we'd love to hear about your experience! Comment below and let us know your struggles or tips for language learning! 💬
Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more travel adventures! ✈️🌍

Durante il mese che abbiamo trascorso a Roma, la nostra amica Ivy, la drag queen Heavy Passion, è venuta a trovarci per la sua prima volta nella Città Eterna! Poiché parla quasi solo italiano e Ryan sta studiando la lingua, abbiamo deciso di sfidarci a parlare italiano per tutto il tempo in cui è stata con noi.
Abbiamo portato Ivy a tutti i luoghi imperdibili di Roma, dal Colosseo e il Vaticano alla Fontana di Trevi e altri ancora. Come puoi immaginare, ci siamo divertiti un sacco tra il caldo di agosto e le difficoltà con la lingua! 🌞
Speriamo che questo video ti aiuti a scoprire alcune delle attrazioni più famose di Roma e magari a imparare un po' di italiano lungo la strada. Se anche tu stai imparando una nuova lingua, ci piacerebbe sentire la tua esperienza! Commenta qui sotto e facci sapere le tue difficoltà o suggerimenti per imparare una lingua! 💬
Non dimenticare di mettere mi piace, condividere e iscriverti per altre avventure di viaggio! ✈️🌍
