Where am I going?

I’ve been slowly moving north over the past month with no idea what country I’m aiming for. This post answers a question I never know the answer to: “where are you going next?”

travelling-in-a-van-europe

I didn’t go to Italy last month because I wanted to go through these countries north of Greece. But which one? I’ve not been able to decide and it has really been bugging me for the past couple of months. Full freedom can be strange sometimes.

One thing that attracts me to a country is if I know nothing about it. And I know absolutely nothing about Albania and Macedonia.

The thing is, I’ve learnt that it often doesn’t matter where I go. I will always say “oh I’m glad I came here”. I will always get a lot out of where ever I go. Also, I can put so much energy into a decision and then something will happen and I’ll go a completely different way anyway. So why does it matter? flip a coin, I’ll go anywhere…

I’m going to Macedonia

But when I finally narrowed it down to Albania or Bulgaria, my friend Matt (remember him from the very first posts?) said he’s flying in to Macedonia on the 26th of May. I haven’t seen him in a year! So Skopje airport. That’s where I’m going. I have one week to get there.

Where would you go out of these 3 countries and why?
Any macedonian readers? I’m interested in your music

    If your intention is not to leave Europe, I would gladly visit the Mediterranean coasts traveling towards Tirana, then aiming to Dubrovnik. Then go to Lubiana and aim south in the Italian Boot, visit Venice and the Adriatic Coast. You would totally love Puglia once there. And then to the north, back to wherever you wanna go in Europe. But I am sure a guy like you would fall in love with southern Italy

      Granted, southern Italy – a fantastically friendly place, Apulia and Calabria. But it may come back here for the winter.

      And now, through Bulgaria and the Baltic states head to spend the summer in the three Baltic countries: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia !!!

      Along the way, I recommend you see the Rila Monastery in Bulgaria, in the town of Belogradchik rocks, Magura cave, then west Romania. Further, the town of Eger and Tokaj in Hungary. Then the east of Poland and Bialowieza Forest. And here you are in the Baltics !!!
