A WEEK IN SPLIT (CROATIA) VLOG 2024

So we just landed here in Split, Croatia. This is mine and Huy's second time. We actually met here, Ilkka is here as well and we're super excited for this journey because it's been three months since we ever had like a holiday and that's quite a long time for us. A lot of stuff has been going down when it comes to my personal life, when it comes to relationships, financials and we're going to talk about all of that stuff later but for now we're quickly going to pick up our car and then we're going to go to the apartment. It's night time but we're finally getting our car. So yeah, we got the car bro. Yeah, it's a smooth little car. I think it was Opel 2022. It's driving smoothly so obviously we just picked it up from Split airport and now we're going to go to the apartment and yeah, so far so good man. What's your plan tonight? Are you going to go out with us or are you just staying in? I think I'll stay in this time around but maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow night we'll go out together. Do you still want to have dinner tonight or not? Oh yeah, we should have pizza or something. So yeah, we'll quickly drive home, get some pizza. I'm not sure if we're going to eat at home or if we're going to go out to eat and then after that me and Woody are definitely going out and yeah, Ilker will probably just stay home. Late night in Split so we're literally walking to the apartment now. We're going to drop our stuff off and then we're going to grab some food. Alright, so we're literally here at the apartment so Ilker actually ordered some food for us. It's like 12.30 now. It's midnight essentially, right? So we're here waiting for food before we're going out but then now they're not delivering the food. Bro, they cancelled that ----. They completely cancelled it. Bro, look at this guy. He's so innocent. He's tired, he's hungry, he's just ready to go to bed. But obviously me and Woody, we still need to go out. So yeah, we'll grab food. Do you want to come or not? Maybe, maybe. Let me think about it. Yeah, okay. Alright, so I'm currently walking outside here with the main man Woody here. So obviously Ilker is staying in bed. But yeah, we decided to explore the nightlife a little bit, you know like the city. We'll get some food. Yeah, try to get some food as well. But obviously the location we're at, it's more city center, right? Yeah, city center. But then there's this beach area where you can actually explore the nightlife more. It's called like, I don't know how you pronounce it in the Croatian language but it's like And essentially that's where we were in 2021 when we initially met each other. Because we actually met each other here in Croatia in Split. And basically that's the area we want to go to. But it makes more sense to go there by car because otherwise we have to walk for 25 minutes. So I'm literally just gonna jump in the car with Woody and then we're gonna drive to it. Alright, so first night is done. So Woody just walked home and I drove home. So we went to the Buckfish beach, just like I already mentioned to you guys. And when it comes to this area, basically it's completely being rebuilt. So there wasn't much to do there. There weren't a lot of people at the beach or even at like the nightlife. So we just talked to a couple of locals and we ended up going to this underground club. And yeah, I just started to speak to a couple of workers because inside of the club it was quite dead. And yeah, I was speaking to this Shari. Yeah, she was feeling me, I was feeling her. I dropped her and her friend home after work. So they actually work in that club. So yeah, I got a number. Tomorrow we'll just speak and I'll most likely see her again. So we're back now here again. So today is the daytime. This is actually the first day, so we only came here at night time. And me and Ilkes, we're just walking here. We're about to do some grocery shopping and just explore the area, you know. But before we go, we quickly wanted to show you guys this car here. So this is going to be our car when it comes to this trip. We already drove it. It's quite smooth. Yeah. Like we were just looking for a cheap, cheap car, like just a last minute one. Because I've already been here before and I know like having a car is very useful. Especially if you want to go to like all of the other beaches. But yeah, in general, the car is really smooth. We're definitely going to enjoy it. Okay. Of course. So this is going to be your first actual day. Because he didn't even go out with us. Imagine, yeah. You go to a country and then the first thing you do is you order food mostly. He didn't come. So he was like, I'm going to just sleep. Did we record that actually? Yeah. So we ordered food and then it got cancelled because they don't deliver after midnight. So I just got some credit for it. I just went straight to bed. That was too tiring. Yeah. And then me and Woody, we went out. But obviously it wasn't that busy. But then again, we made the best of it. And like we were just like having fun outside. And then someone referred me to like this underground club. And that's where we went to. But there was no one there. Like almost no one there. And you know, like when it comes to those places, usually the prettiest women are the ones working there. So the ones that were like doing the tickets. Yeah. They were the best ones. And funny enough, you know, it was actually 7 euros each. But you know, I got to go in for free. And she's working there tonight as well. So I told her I'm going to pull up and I'll get a free entry, you know. She doesn't know. She thinks I'm coming for her, but I'm just coming for the free entry. So we're shopping. I think it's going to be breakfast. And then on the way back, we'll do some groceries probably. There's nothing at the apartment. Obviously, we're going to grab some drinks as well. And for me, I always have to grab a Red Bull on vacation. Because this is my energy source. So we just had some breakfast and now we're going to go to the main area, right? The city center. Central, yeah. Yeah. Overall, so far, like for you walking here in this city on the streets, how do you feel about it? We haven't gone to Central yet, but it's so quiet so far. You know what I mean? There's not many people. Yeah, it is May though. Yeah. But besides that, like from what I remember and even like to yesterday and today, the people here are extremely friendly and quite humble. You know, I like that. I like when people are humble, friendly. They don't really have an attitude like that. Because, bro, it's funny. Like online, I act like I'm a douchebag. I've got a huge ego and stuff. But obviously in real life, it's a bit different. Yeah, so it's nice to see that there's places like that out there, you know? Because you can't say that about every single place. There's a lot of places we've been where people have been a bit arrogant. Like Bucharest was quite good as well. Yeah, for sure. And that's just simply something I prefer. Because I don't only go to countries for like holiday or whatnot. I also like exploring countries for their culture, the people you meet. And I don't know, those things are also very significant to me. Yeah, bro, this guy was already out here. I don't know why he came so early. He was hunting before. Nah, he's joking. He actually just came now. So, should we explore this city? We're gonna explore in the sea now. So, yeah, let's explore it. We were ready to explore the city. But obviously, this guy always needs his morning coffee. Got no energy in the morning otherwise. But bro, you slept the whole night. I didn't. I actually got like 3-4 hours sleep. The bed was really uncomfortable. Bro, I woke up at like 8. I was surprised you woke up early. Yeah, bro, my mind changed. I'm focused. What happened? Huh? I don't know. No, we're discussing the tours we're gonna do. Bro, it's ******* slippery. The floor is off. Yeah, hold on. Yeah, the weather is nice here, man. Like, I love the sea. It's just nice to breathe around the sea. And yeah, we're just literally chilling here. This is like the city center. So, when it comes to Split, it's quite a chill place. Especially during daytime. You've got amazing beaches. The city center is quite chill as well. There's quite a lot of old-school luxury cars. That are literally driving through a portal here. Which you've probably seen on the B-Road. So, yeah, we're literally just chilling here. Having a good time. And that's literally what it's all about. This guy. I wonder what he's thinking. Our first day. We are... Where are we? The Old Town? The Old Town. Oh yeah, Old Town. I always put it in Old Town. But yeah, we're in the town. The weather is quite nice. You know. First day. We're just gonna... We're just free-styling today. Didn't really have any plans. But there's a car show, as you can see. Bro, he's literally saying what I'm saying. Oh! Fuck it. Yeah, it's like... What do you think it is? Nah. So, as you can see, guys. Hill could've showed you an area where... We're trying to get a picture. But there's an old lady there. We were taking pictures. We took a picture of Junaid. And then she just came immediately after. Oh, she's actually moving now. Yes, she's moving. She's moving. She took your spot. Come, let's go. Let's go. Look towards me. Let's check out the pictures. In it? Yeah. Do a picture while you're looking at your watch. Hill, do a watch picture. You're like this. Hill, just turn. Towards the camera. Do it. This reminds me of how you walk in your TikToks. Yeah. Bro, these are the easiest photos to take. You already got a couple pictures. So, as you can see here, there's some holy water here. Me and Woody yesterday have been a bit naughty. So, we have to wash away our sins. So, we found ourselves some holy water. And I felt like me and Woody, we've done some bad things in our lives before. So, we have to wash away our sins. We have to wash away the sins. If you ever do anything bad and you want forgiveness, please go to God, the Creator, and wash away your sins in the holy water. The first meal in Split, I got a chicken burger. What did you get? I got the cheeseburger. Yeah, and I got the big burger. So, we'll just get food here, get a drink, and after that, what's the plan? We'll improvise. We'll go to the beach. Yeah, let's go to the beach. Alright, so this is how the big burger looks like. This is how the cheeseburger looks like. This is the chicken burger with no lettuce. No lettuce, just sauce. Hey, guys. It's the Woody takeover right now. So, the boys have gone and left me. But they didn't leave me. I decided to leave them. They're going to the supermarket. I'm heading back to the crib. So, I'm super tired, super drained. I'm running off. About three, four hours sleep. Couldn't sleep well last night. So, I'm going to head in, get a nap, so I can have some energy for the rest of the day. This guy is young and ready. Young and ready. Dressed up. What are we going to do, bro? We're going to explore, man. Anything else? We're going to explore. No, I'm not joking. So, basically, we just had a quick dinner. We're just going to head out and explore. Apparently, it's going to rain, so we'll just see what's going to happen. Today, mainly, we've just been exploring the city center. We've already seen it before. It was nice to see it again. Just having a chill day. Tomorrow, we'll drive around to one of those beaches in Split and just have a good time. So, me and Woody have already seen the city center before. But it was nice to see it again after three years. The weather was nice. There was a good vibe there. There were a few interesting things going on, such as those old cars. Those luxury old cars that were driving through that portal. Besides that, we're just going to explore the surroundings now. Today, it's apparently going to rain, but it's still a Saturday. You have to go out on a Saturday. But unfortunately, at the same time, today, you've got the Ustik versus Swirify. Obviously, I'm a huge boxing fan, so I have to watch it. I'm sure all the guys will watch it as well. So, we're going to head out, explore the city, explore what's out there. After that, we'll come back, watch the match, and after that, we're going out again. Approaching here on the street, it's quite filled, right? But there's also quite a lot of old people here. They're all eyeing us. We're literally entertainment for them. Alright, so we're back at the crib now. It's time for us to watch the Ustik versus Tyson Swirify. I'm pretty excited about it because it's a highly anticipated fight. We're literally going to watch it now here at home. Have a good time with the lads. After that, we're going to go out. I want your final prediction before we actually start watching it. I think we'll go the distance. I think Ustik will win. Yeah, so how? Decision, I think. I think split decision. Split decision? Yeah, I think it'll be a close one. Yeah, okay, fair enough. Well, I guess we're going to find out. Alright, so me and Ilko are literally watching the fight here. My brother Woody is sleeping here. Yeah, bro, it was a good fight. I really enjoyed it. Very technical. That's what I like. Very competitive as well. Both of us think Ustik has definitely edged it. Yeah, I think he won three points. Yeah, maybe a bit more as well. It depends on how the judges have scored it. Because I don't agree with the commentator judge. But yeah, I mean, we'll see how it goes. Yeah, after this, I think this brother over here, he said he doesn't want to go out. I'm the bad cop. But he doesn't even like going out. So either I'll go out by myself or he'll come with me. I can't leave my bro alone. Worst case, it's okay, bro. I'll go out. Yeah, it's what it is. What day is it? Day two? Yeah, it's day two now. Day two. Great weather today. Alright, so this is the next day. So you've got Woody over here. Ilke. And we're actually just about to walk here. Explore the city center. Explore what's out here. Because it's not that late. It's currently like 11 a.m. So we're still in the morning time. But the weather is nice. So we're like, yeah, let's just explore the city area. See what's out there. And then after that, most likely, we're just going to go to the beach. R, J, A and A. Welcome to Split again. Now face to face. I told you my name, but I never said my age. Well, considering that I actually lived in... Can I guess? Yeah. 20. I feel like 2045. And now I will explain why. You guys want to eat something? So this breakfast for today, it was €3.50. Not bad. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Thank you. I actually like it. The high quality is awesome. Nice. Thank you. You too, baby. Thank you. He's a killer. Oh, is he? He's looking for his next target. My daughter's got one back in Australia. And they're so noisy. They just bark all the time. Oh, my God. How do you deal with it? I don't know. Whenever I go there... I've been there. I visit there all the time. Still, she barks at me every time I go. So I have to go. Then she licks me and then she's right. Where are you guys from? We're from London. London? Yes. Have you ever been there? Yes. We've been to London several times. It's a nice place. It's cool. I was born in the Netherlands. Born in the Netherlands but living in London? Yes, that's correct. We're travelling from Australia. I know a lot of Australians. There's lots in the UK. Yeah, lots of them. Our son lived there for two years. We went and visited him. He used to live in Bethnal Green. Do you know where that is? Oh, yeah. That's not far from where I used to live. Oh, Bethnal Green. Oh, yeah. That's in London, yeah. I used to live in Shoreditch. In? In Shoreditch. I used to live there. Oh, right. Pretty close to Bethnal Green. Yeah, not too far. No, we went and visited. We had a great time. I love London. Yeah, it's a nice place. It's a great city. I love Brick Lane and all those places. It's so nice. I want to go to Australia but it's so far. It is. But you can break up the trip. Yeah, true. We fly from Melbourne to Dubai. That's 13 and a half hours. And then we fly from Dubai to wherever. London, Paris. So, we flew from Dubai to Paris this time. Oh, OK. So, that was another seven and a half hours. Yeah, OK. It's not too bad. You can break it up. You can stop at Singapore and have a couple of days there. Stop at Dubai. I don't fancy being in Dubai at 45 degree temperatures. But you can stop in Singapore which is really nice. Is it hot in Singapore? It is. It's sticky. Sticky, yeah. It's the usual, you know, tropical climate. Yeah, of course. Thailand, Singapore. Vietnam. All those places can be really hot and sticky. How long are you here for? Until 23rd. So, like, we've got a couple more days. We're going to Dubrovnik tomorrow. Oh, OK. And then heading back. Are you with family? You're here with family? Yeah. My wife is just standing there. She's wondering, who's this guy talking to? She said, you talk to everyone. Yeah, yeah. I say, why don't you? It's nice to connect. That's what holidays are about. We've got kids. We've got four kids in Australia. We've got ten grandchildren. So, they keep us very busy. Yeah, no, of course. I can imagine. But we love travelling too. And two dogs that cause us problems when we're travelling. Yeah, of course. It was lovely to meet you. Good to meet you guys. Nice to meet you. I didn't even ask about the camera. I pointed it. Yeah, you randomly pointed it. I mean, that's literally what it's all about. Holidays. You randomly speak to people. You connect with people. And yeah, you just literally have a good time. So, we're just literally chilling here in the city centre. Weather's nice today. And yeah, that's literally it. Alright, so guys, we're off to the beach. This is the first time of us driving at daytime. So, this is day number three. Honestly, we came quite late at day number one. So, I'm not sure if that really counts. Regardless, we're going to go to a beach club now. And we're going to enjoy it there. So, we've just arrived at the beach. Ilke is here. Woody is over there. And yeah, let me show you the beach. It's a hotel. It's a hotel area. There's a yacht. Amazing to see. And I flew over there. And me and Woody were here like three years ago. And both of us absolutely loved the yachts. And soon, we'll get one ourselves as well. We just swam a little bit inside of the hotel. Apparently, you're not allowed to swim there, right? But there's ways to finesse the system. But this guy, Woody over here. He said to the person, we're at room 205. But he didn't... He booed it for a while. Then he actually checked. But it's all good. We still utilize their utility. And that's literally what it's all about. We finesse the system. And every time we do it, it just feels good. That's one of three minutes. Fuck! Was that three minutes? Three one. I don't know. Too late at the end. I found my rhythm a bit more. But it's weird because we're not using face. It's just touching and ----. Yeah, body touch. So, we just had a little bit of a leisure time here at this hotel. With a beach. So, how was it? It was okay. It wasn't too bad. We were speaking to some staff. They said it's a quiet season. So, there wasn't much people. So, pretty much had it to ourselves. Plus some other folks. But it wasn't too bad. Yeah. I mean, they did say that in terms of like... It's like May and October. It's more quiet. But then in the other months, it's way more busier. But they actually recommend to come during May and October. Because there's less tourists. So, it's easier to navigate and explore. If that's something you want to do in Split. Alright, good morning. It's a new day here. And I literally just did a little bit of work. Because the grind never stops. So, I've got this new business. Where I've got quite a lot of employees. Around like 20 people. So, I have to manage quite a lot of people. I have to do quite a lot of things. So, even though I'm here on holiday with the boys. I still have to put in the work. Bro, I was just innocent. Driving like a good boy. But obviously, they saw the car. And they jinxed us. Yeah, me too bro. They saw that car. They were just looking for an excuse. Yeah, and I saw good bro. But yeah. Woody was stressing. And he was like, hey bro. We need to find the car. I was actually working. So, I was like, whatever, you know. But then, the moment he found a Honda. Obviously, he dipped. So, it's just me and the Elks with that. And we're literally going to grab the car now. We thought it might be stolen initially. At least Woody did. But yeah, I'm glad we checked immediately. So, we finally found the car again. It was like 59 to pay him. And then, we have to pay 15 euros to the police. It's not bad. But it's part of the experience. If you want to be exceptional. Sometimes, you have to break the rules. But it's all good, you know. Hopefully, we got the car. And yeah, that's literally it. We're still grinding. The grind never stops. But we have to enjoy the view a bit. So, apparently, this is one of two malls. There's a bigger mall than this one, right? Yeah, it's a bit north. I think it's called the Mall of Split. Yeah, but how's this one? This one's okay. I was here earlier. There's a few options for food. Yeah, we'll check it out. Okay. What's this, bro? What have you been left with? Yeah, cute man. Cute man, bro. Exposing. He's been exposed. We're good people. We don't condone what's happening, right? And then we see this guy in Mackeys. I mean, don't get me wrong. We're still going to sit here, but... Where are you going to? I got the car back. Ah, yeah. How did you get it? I stole it back, bro, from the government. Is he getting some bikes? Nah, bro, listen. I was like, we might as well buy one just for like a few days. It's not that expensive. It's only like 3k. We can ride it back. Alright, good morning. Good morning. It's a new day. I'm just quickly taking care of myself. As usual, doing my skincare. I'm doing my skincare. So I've currently put some serum on my face. Because you know, you've got to take care of yourself. So Ilker is out there. And he's at the mall whilst Woody is just going for a walk. And I would love to join them. But obviously, these are the sacrifices you have to make if you want to be exceptional. Because I've got work. I've got to put in the work to make sure that I get to the level I want to be at. And a lot of times, people don't see this part of life. They always see the highlights. But they never see the 16-hour work days. They never see the stress and all of the effort you have to put in to become successful. And I want you to know that nothing in life comes easy. Nothing comes by accident. You have to put in the work. Because I remember a couple of years ago. I wished I was in a position where I can literally just travel around with my friends. Have a good time. Whilst at the same time make money. And just create amazing memories. I remember being in my room. Thinking that this is the type of life I want. But I just don't have that life. And that's when I just put in a lot of effort. I literally did not know how to do it. When it would come. And how I would make it work. But I had this insane drive. I was delusional. Arrogant. Egotistical. As some people would say. And the reason I had to be this way. Is because if I didn't believe in myself. No one would believe in me. And that's the mindset that you must have. If you want to succeed as well. And I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that God gives the most difficult task to those he loves the most. And for example. The last few months haven't been really easy for me. But then again. I know that most people would have already given up. And I've always told myself that I am the man. I am that guy. And if the chance presents itself for me to prove it. I have to prove it to myself. And that's where my confidence comes from. It isn't based on nothing. It's based on the times where you're struggling. And you're going through hardships. And you're telling yourself that it will be okay. You're telling yourself that this is your chance and opportunity. To prove to yourself that you are the man that you say you are. And life is funny in some regards. Because everything happens at the same time. Whether it's financials. Relationships. Your health. It does not matter. For some reason when you're struggling. Everything happens at the same time. But if you're willing to push through. And showcase to yourself. That you are willing to make any sort of sacrifice. To get to the destination you want to go to. Because look. I don't come from a wealthy family. I come from nothing. I wasn't born with insane genetics. I put in the work to become more attractive. And if you are someone that's willing to do the same. In the long term. You will get rewarded. Because a few months ago. I was in a completely different space than I am right now. And all of this happened through effort. Through self-dedication. Through belief. Through putting in the effort. Year in, year out. Because you need to remember. I started my YouTube channel in 2017. And now we are in 2024. And I'm still posting. I'm still putting in the work. And besides that. That's not the only thing I'm doing. I'm running 2, 3 other businesses. And I'm constantly putting in the work. Because I know that in the long term. It will pay off. But yeah. That's a little bit of wisdom for you. And if you guys want me to make more videos. Related to these topics. Just let me know in the comment section down below. Because I love to talk about motivation. I love to talk about mindset. Because I know way more than most people. But I just never speak about these type of topics. Because I don't always feel like there's a need for people to hear it. But since I struggled with a couple of things in the last few months. And I've overcome them. It just made me realize that. I might not be the only person out there. Going through stuff. And having this platform helps me to open up to a lot of other men. Because I know a lot of us are struggling with our own problems. And sometimes all we need to hear is. That everything will be alright. Sometimes all we need to hear. You just have to put a little bit more effort in. Everything will be okay. Just push through. And all of these little things just add up. And this way I can show to you that all of us are humans. I go through stuff. You go through stuff. But the difference is to how we accept reality. The actions we take. To get the results that we want. But yeah enough said. Now let me do some work. Oaks got us some protein shakes. Because I already drank like 3 of them. One has like 50 grams each. Because I was starving. And I drank like 3 in 18 hours. You finished all of them bro. I didn't even get to have one. Yeah. No but bro. I can't like. Usually these ones are not that good. But this one is okay. Like the taste. You had one as well. Yeah it's pretty good. So it's the next day. So yesterday we were pretty much just working. I was pretty much working. And then after that we went out. Had a good time. But today. We're actually going to a boat party. But yeah before we go. I'm hungry. I need me some kebab. So I'm going to my Albanian brother. He's going to hook us up. And then after that we're going to the boat party. So it's our last day. How are you feeling man? Yeah last day. We've got a boat trip coming up. Yeah we'll see how it goes bro. How are you feeling about the last day? You sound sad bro. I'm excited. We're getting kebab now. Yeah it's been good so far. How's the food? Proper good. Croatia's finest made by Albanians. He's a cool guy as well. Yeah 100% he's super cool. He's actually someone that's really into hair. So he's been criticising my hair. I'm like bro. I make hair care videos. But he's criticising my hair. And he's actually giving me good feedback. So I appreciate it. Go Ken! Great! 18W! How was it? The water's a bit cold but yeah it's fun. Three times. Love heights and I love water. How was the dive? Ah okay. It was really good. Really nice dive. Amazing. How often do you do this? What? How often do you do this? I do it two or three times a week. And I dive every time. Is it scary? No it's not scary. It's okay. Really nice. That was amazing. It's too cold bro. It's May what can you expect? It's so cold. So cold. So fun! Right so it's the next day and we're literally now at the airport. And this is pretty much it when it comes to the split vlog. So when it comes to going to Split during May because we went in the beginning season It's not like there's a lot of people so you can do anything and everything you want to do So in that regard is really good. But if you're someone that's looking more of a party life I would recommend June, July, August and maybe even September. So we're literally just flying back to London tomorrow I'm going to a different place. That's more of a business related trip. But anyways, thank you so much for watching I genuinely appreciate your time and hope to see you in my next video. Bye. Bye
