Share The Article While massive European hotspots like Spain and Italy are dealing with crazy overtourism and practically begging people to stay home, there is an incredibly safe, gorgeous country in Eastern Europe doing the exact opposite. Bulgaria is still mostly undiscovered by mainstream American travelers, but they view tourism as a good thing. Instead […]
Share The Article There is a specific feeling you get when you step off a plane in a foreign country and realize you can actually lower your guard. It is not about being reckless or ignoring your surroundings; it is that rare, weightless sensation that the “something feels off” sensation has vanished. You are not […]
Share The Article Honestly, why do all these millions of tourists even bother spending their hard-earned vacation dollars in places like Spain or Italy, where they’re effectively being nudged out of resort towns, or, in peak season, actively elbowed out of the way for a sun lounger, when they could go somewhere they’re actually welcomed […]
Share The Article Bosnia and Herzegovina is probably not the first destination that sneaks into your mind when you’re planning a European getaway. I mean, it doesn’t have France’s world-famous Haussmann-designed cities, Italy’s scenic coastal drives and mouth-watering food, nor Spain’s sun-drenched shorelines.

Share The Article I’m not sure it’s just me, but it feels like forever since this country’s name came up in here. Blame it on El Salvador’s current regional stardom, especially after Bukele completely crushed criminal gangs, or Belize’s newfound trendiness, but Costa Rica seemed to take a backseat for a while. Not anymore. Central […]
Share The Article I’ll never take for granted how lucky I am to call Europe home. Being based in Paris, with a good few London and Ireland years under my belt before that, I basically grew up hopping countries and crossing borders like it was no big deal. In the Schengen era, it’s not like […]
Share The Article It took them a few years to catch up with their fellow European states, but when it comes to Digital Nomad Visas, one could never be too late to the party: After months of speculation, Bulgaria has finally launched its own DNV.
