Don’t feel discouraged by Europe’s travel costs
When it comes to taking a journey through Europe, most people think that such a dream is beyond their modest means. However, this presumption is challenged by the millions of students and others traveling on shoestring budgets in Europe every summer. If they can call Europe their own, there’s no reason you can’t do that, too!
In reality, Europe is quite a bargain in many respects. If you wisely pick your hotels, meals, and transport, a trip to Europe will cost a lot less than a week in some of the popular cities in the United States.

Early in the morning (yes, somehow it’s always early in the morning!), we had breakfast, said goodbye to the local cat, and met up with Simon. We were all heading to Tirana, so he joined us on a Matka Canyon boat ride along the way.

On our second afternoon in Skopje, we stopped for lunch in the Old Bazaar, joined by Simon, one of the Germans we met during the free Skopje walking tour.

Tim and Simon had actually gone to the same university, though they finished …

As the sun began its ascent behind the majestic peaks of Rila National Park, we reluctantly bid farewell to the serene Rila Monastery. The journey to Skopje, North Macedonia awaited us, and we were eager to embark on the next chapter of our Balkan road trip. The road, however, had other plans. With construction crews diligently working to expand the pathways and freshly cut trees strewn across our path, our progress was slow, almost teasingly so. But as the saying goes, “It’s not about the destination, but the journey”. And what a journey it was! As we navigated the winding …
