Eastern Greece (Thrace)
The former Roman Province of Thrace provided me cool nights, friendly folks, good food and a rich history https://youtu.be/9mGGL9JDyBI Despite the lofty expectations that had been bestowed upon me from the words of other traveling folk, Greece had not...
Western Greece (Eprius & Macedonia)
Greece might be the most popular country to visit that I've encountered on this trip. The main attractions are Athens and the country's many islands. But as per usual I will be avoiding the big draws in order to see what mainland Greece has to offer ...
Southern Albania
Before having researched anything about Albania I had heard things that led me to having presumptions like : Albanians are fun loving quarky people that love good food and drink. But there's a lot more to this interesting and beautiful country ...
North Macedonia
The Republic of North Macedonia (formerly part of Yugoslavia) is a small country that packs a big punch. Mountains, ancient cities, friendly inhabitants and a bit of controversy https://youtu.be/HnSBw5hsGq8 Even if they're often riddled with warnings of...

Eastern Slovakia
The landscapes, architecture and history had made Slovakia feel like a fairy tale so far. I couldn't imagine how it could get more magical. Until a white substance appeared https://youtu.be/b0q2I0HHdmE Levoca, a small town in the Eastern Slovakian...
Western Slovakia
The small Central European country of Slovakia is often confused by North Americans with Slovenia. Another small European nation that receives quite a bit more tourism. With the exception of Bratislava, not many people visit Slovakia. But I think they should ...
Bicycling the Danube River Trail (Austria)
The Danube River Bike Trail is one of the most popular bicycle touring destinations in the world. Since it follows the Danube River it's a flat ride yet it still has great scenery and opportunities to soak in the culture. And it might be the best way to experience...
