For many travelers coming to Peru, Lima is the first stop simply because it’s where most international flights land. But let’s be real—Lima, the Peruvian capital has a bit of a reputation. Some people say it’s skippable because there’s not much to see, and others warn that it’s unsafe. And honestly? I kind of get…
Before I say anything else, I have to say this—Peru is my number one travel destination. Period. If you ever asked me, “Hey, what country should I visit?” I’d probably ask what you’re looking for first, but more often than not, my answer would be Peru. Peru, the heart of the Inca Empire, just has…
Shkoder is known as the gateway to the North of Albania; it’s the perfect place to base your adventures in the rugged landscapes of the Albanian Alps and explore the cultural heritage of this ancient city. We originally came to Shkoder just for one night before we started a road trip around the north of…

And when I say affordable, I mean compared to those islands—it’s still Greece, after all. What I love about Corfu is that it’s a great…
When we spent over a month traveling around Albania, we couldn’t help but notice how close Corfu was. And honestly, once we realized how easy it was to hop on a ferry, there was no way we weren’t going to check it out—especially since neither of us had been to Greece before. All we really…
Alright, I know this is going to make me sound like a hater, but the beaches in Ksamil… kind of suck. Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic, but we really didn’t have the best time there—and that’s probably because our expectations were way off. Don’t get me wrong—the beaches themselves are stunning.

The Albanian Riviera is an absolute gem that’s been flying under the radar for way too long, especially if you’re hunting for an affordable beach getaway in Europe.
