I don't necessarily expect you to have an answer here, but as a person of color, do you think these countries are fine to go to (maybe you know fellow travellers who can attest to the experience)? My understanding is that anti-migrant politics are pretty popular in much of Central and Eastern Europe and these are relatively homogenous societies. I really want to visit this region but the idea of being ostracized or treated weirdly because I'm visibly an outsider worries me a lot. (I guess all of Europe would be accurate re the anti-migrant politics (sigh) but in a country like France of Germany, there are already well established minority communities and they get a lot of tourists from around the world already, so to me it's less of a worry.)
@@dunnowy123 that’s a solid question. I mean these are safe and friendly countries but I understand how that might be a concern. 😕 I’m sure the locals would be nice enough.
@@TalesFromTheRoad Yeah, in my experience, most people are friendly and kind. It is a region I am really interested in; I do tend to want to see the lesser travelled places. Thanks for the response!
