Stories and destinations visited from my journeys across Europe en route to visit every country in the world.
This will cover all the mainstream countries popular with millions of tourists each year. The Frances, Spains and Italys of this world.
However it will also cover the lesser known and lesser visited spots. North Macedonia and Bosnia Herzegovina deserve more attention than they currently receive, both fantastic countries with a lot of interesting spots to see, and wonderful people as well.
The micronations will be receiving their own blog posts which will be findable here in the future. Monaco is the first I have visited but Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican City and Andorra will also be included.
Territories which aren’t countries but perhaps have a claim to suggest they might be will also be added. Transnistria and Gibraltar are already-visited destinations which will be mentioned in depth here.
Europe is home to some great places including the Colosseum of Rome, Lake Bled, the Eiffel Tower and much more so stay tuned if you want to find out more!

The best countries in Europe are safe, cheap, have friendly people and offer lots to do. Bosnia, Moldova, and the Baltics meet these criteria.
