I think Romania is a hidden gem too. Visiting every country in Europe is on our bucket list too 🙂 Just came back from the French Riviera and absolutely loved it 🙂
You say you have traveled to all countries-but that is just visiting briefly to make records.Real travel involved spending some considerable time in those countries, immersing one self in the culture and cris crossing the countries.Not just hop in hop off to make records or videos.what do you reckon? its not just about quickly ticking off lists
I'm from Greece and I traveled almost all Europe. After 2 visits to Bulgaria, we liked it so much that the 3rd time we went with our own car and drove around almost all of Bulgaria. It is a very beautiful country with incredible places to visit and very beautiful nature. The issue is not only the well-known tourist cities-countries, but to be willing to discover the hidden but perhaps most beautiful parts of a country. I do this on almost all trips and the most beautiful places are also the least known. Many countries are underestimated for no reason and unfortunately Bulgaria is one of them
i cannot believe you didn’t enjoy Bulgaria, I didn’t know anyone there either and I was only 18 while travelling it but it was so so beautiful and the lack of tourism infrastructure made it fun and an adventure to get around
You can't be more wrong about Bulgaria. There are amazing mountains. Beautiful plains with fields stretching as far as you can see. The sea side which is very developed and wild at the same time. You really didn't see anything except Sofia i guess... Such a shame
10:45 I just came back from my first visit to Bulgaria and I absolutely loved it. I actually think you can compare it to something like Italy. Bulgaria has so many stunning mountain sites but also it has the Black sea with some nice beaches. It also has so many roman antique architecure. Plovdiv for example , oldest city in europe, is a must see. And everything is so affordable
Hi, Lexie! Sorry to hear you didn't really see Bulgaria as an interesting place in Europe, but for sure you didn't know where to go or what to do. Bulgaria is such a diverse country - you have the Black sea, multiple mountains, rivers, lakes, epic nature and scenery. Not to mention the amount of history here - Bulgaria is in top 30 list of most UNESCOs sites in the world, oldest city in Europe is in Bulgaria and many, many other things, so much culture of so many nations that have lived here in just one place. Would love to know where did you go when you were in Bulgaria and also if you come by again - count me for your local guide, so you will have an amazing experience :)
Yeah, but typically you visit the beach and I've never heard anyone who came home and said that I want to go there again. Also I've never heard a story from an other country that someone was kidnapped from a bar and the employees say that his friends shouldn't worry, these guys were only the local drunk mob and they will release him by the morning... Like this story literally happened with my friend. Luckily the kidnapped person was so drunk that he didn't even remember. He just woke up on the side of the road without most of his clothes... And I'm from Hungary, and I don't want to be rude, I could do hours of sttalk about my country too, but I believe Bg has a very bad reputation. (BTW I work with Bulgarian people and I love them )
Went to Bulgaria in 2014 and had a great time. I had no expectations going in to my trip and the country blew me away with it's beauty and culture. Went Veliko Tarnovo and Plovdiv, and a monastery area south of Plovdiv. Wish I had more time there!
Like you, I’ve traveled all around Europe. My favourites list: Norway 🇳🇴 Ireland 🇮🇪 Switzerland 🇨🇭 Iceland 🇮🇸 Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 Portugal 🇵🇹 Germany 🇩🇪 (Bavaria)
I am a Korean who wants to learn English. I happened to be recommended for Lexie Limitless UA-cam and watched the first episode of "I Traveled to Every Country in Europe so You Don't Have To". I am so happy to learn the language through travel. I will learn by watching UA-cam often. Thank you so much for the explanation that always feels real. Thank you!!
One of my favourite places in Europe is Slovakia. Maybe because I am Czech, but I just love the pleople, the nature, the traditions and the food. I understand that is better to know some people there, and also know where to go, but thats something you can change. I keep coming back to Slovakia and my dream is just travel all around the country. Really. (And if you wanna see Slovakia trough my eyes, on my channel I have video about Terchová. Even it's not in english, but you dont need it. Just enjoy the vibe
Hi, l am not from Slovakia, but still little bit surprised you do not like it. The best about Slovakia is its nature and mountains. I assume that no one gave you the right info where to travel back then. Maybe you visited just wrong part of the country. Give it a chance 🙂
I'm from Slovakia and I'm not surprised. Most of these people just spend couple of hours in Bratislava and that's it. Can't compare to days and weeks they spend in other countries.
I'm from Slovakia but living in Spain for last 19 years and Spain is full of turism, I just don't like it at all. When I go for summer to Slokakia for 1 month I'm so glad to see no emigrants, no turist only local people, local meal, local things. I'm glad no many turist like to go to Slovakia so I enjoyed it much more without been crowded. There are only Polisch, Hungarian and Czech tourism.
Slovenia is quite a gem indeed! It was a shame that I only got to go for 2 days, but I absolutely loved it, and I would love to go back again someday especially to see the area around the Julian Alps. I've been to a lot of European countries so far, and I really enjoyed Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and Czechia. Although it's technically on the border of Europe and Asia, Georgia is also a beautiful hidden gem too. I just got back from there a couple weeks ago, and Georgia is such a beautiful country with incredible landscapes, delicious (and affordable) food, and very friendly people. Great video Lexie!
I always know when I watch those videos to skip to the end where they talk about the bad experience and I know Bulgaria will be there (sorry to say it but Moldova also is always there for some reason) sometimes I think all the people see in Bulgaria is like Sunny Beach or something, I really believe u can’t hate Sozopol, Nesebar or Veliko Tarnovo, even Plovdiv and Sofia as visitor are amazing, mountains, sea, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, divers wildlife and endemic flora, rich traditional and delicious food, I really don’t know beside better marketing what can we do better to get at least some recognition😃
This is precisely what she said - if you do not know a local is practically impossible to get the most out of it. So yeah - marketing, improved tourist information centers, combined advertisement and trips (for example sea+mountain or historical sites+natural wonders) to show that even though geographically speaking not very big, I believe in terms of variety we are up there with the best (for example everything that Italy has to offer we have the same).
The day you really visit Spain and see all the different parts it has to offer I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be on your top forever. People usually go to either to the coast, Madrid, Barcelona or Balearic Islands, but there’s so many amazing cities all around Spain. You must visit the north, Galicia is an amazing place, also Cantabria, Asturias and the Basque Country for sure. If you to go the Pyrenees through Huesca, you’re gonna enjoy mountains. Visit Toledo, Segovia, Burgos, Granada, Córdoba… not only the big cities, and then it will for sure be on your top3. Amazing video btw!
I think you should give Bulgaria another shot. There's mountains, beautiful lakes, waterfalls, endless fields, the black sea and some of the oldest cities and landmarks in all of Europe. Definitely worth making a bit of research on, I think when it comes to nature and sightseeing it's a lovely place. Not politically tho lol Also, the food absolutely slaps.
I was just in Bulgaria for 3 months and had the best time. Fantastic place and really affordable for anyone on a budget. I had people showing me around since my gf is from there. As mentioned in the video having a local show you around is the best. My gf's uncle took me to a bagpipe festival in the Rhodope Mountains completely epic.
@@oliverinmga I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay! I studied abroad for 5 years and all the friends that I've brought back to Bulgaria for a visit have loved it. I genuinely think its a lovely place to visit as a tourist, living there full time is a different story and certainly has downsides. And yes, having someone to show you around definitely helps a lot.
I've only seen the capitals of Belarus, Slovakia and Moldova and I can't disagree there. But I would say Bulgaria is really worth exploring, especially up in the mountains around Bansko and Plovdiv is a very nice city. Santorini is definitely overrun, but if you visit in off season then it really is one of the most stunning Greek islands with a lot of hidden gems. Meanwhile there are 227 inhabited islands in Greece, many of which are little known yet absolutely amazing, like Anafi, right next to Santorini, or Amorgos, Donousa, Astypalea, Tilos, Folegandros. I would say that Romania is one of the most underrated countries in Europe, as well as Ireland. If you rent a car to get beyond the main attractions there are tons of incredible little known historical sites in both countries. Are you planning to film more of Greece while you're there?
Sorry, but if you've visited just Bratislavy (99% because you were travelling from Vienna to Budapest or back), you saw and experienced absolutely nothing from that country. It is like you went to the Red Square in Moscow and say "I have visited Russia". And judging a country from walking on 5 streets in one city... Slovakia is mostly a rural/mountainous country, just look on the map, how much of it you've visited. So please, don't judge a country, when you've skipped it.
Skiing on Norways fiords from a old sailboat was definitely a trip to remember. Didn't catch the Northern lights that time, but I did on a second trip to Lofoten. Magic places!
The only things you mention about Spain are Sagrada Familia and Ibiza. It seems like you haven't been much in the country you just know the infamous places.
What an incredible adventure! Traveling to every country in Europe is a feat many dream of but few achieve. Your journey not only showcases the diverse cultures and landscapes of this continent but also provides valuable insights for fellow travelers. Your experiences undoubtedly help others navigate their own European adventures more smoothly. Thank you for taking us on this virtual trip and making the world feel a little smaller. 🌍✈
Amazing video! Right now I'm exploring Bavaria and it's fascinating. I hope to visit every beautiful place which you mention on your video someday. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
love your videos.... so happy to hear about Bruges my wife and I are planning a Netherlands and Belgium trip this coming April so ill make sure to give us so time in Bruges
You didn't say where you were in Bulgaria. You just as if told other people that our country is not worth visiting. But it is the oldest place in Europe with amazing nature and culture. Just go prepared and read more, then there is not even that much of a need to go around with locals. I have met a lot of foreigners randomly walking , excited to explore and asking me where they shoud go and they liked it.
A very USA "top 10 destinations" video. I'm happy you put effort into this video, but you really mentioned the most tourist popular spots that everyone always comes to in Europe. But you are young. With time and with more travel you will understand that the less popular places are the most interesting ones.
Finally a new video! I was afraid you stopped making them. I loved Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. Spent 3 days there to unwind after a week in Praha.
Great tips I love Italy can't wait to visit again only visited Rome,Naples,Prompeii and Capri Island so much more to explore anywhere in Italy. I think you mentioned some great places all the places I wanna visit I got a lot of ground to cover late to start traveling at 44 wish I would've had the money and courage to just get out there alone like you amazing.
Agree with you about Italy. It’s just got so much diversity. One of my favourite areas is up in the Ligurian alps north of the coast near Monaco. It’s been untouched by tourism, absolutely beautiful!
As a Slovenian I’m really happy to see my home country mentioned as a hidden gem. But lately I’ve noticed that we really need to get from a hidden gem to just a gem. Most tourists stay just for a day and see only Ljubljana and Bled but miss out on the best spots like the ones you mentioned in the Soča valley
Hello, since you don’t know anyone from Bulgaria I want to present myself. I am Magdalena 24 y/o currently finished my study in the Netherlands and I missed Bulgaria so much and can’t wait to come back. I know that’s not enough to know somebody but since I am so inspired by yes theory I wanted to offer you a nice tour around Bulgaria and be able to touch with the amazing history, nature and culture that the country has.
Hi Lexie! Great recommendations video:) if you are yet to see northern lights I recommend Norway (Lofoten) in February, that time is not busy and have a huge chance to see the aurora. I been there in February 2022 for 10 days and had seen it almost every night.
Spain is by far my favorite country in Europe. Beautiful, and filled with rich history and culture and great diverse landscapes. Also a wide variety of cuisines. I've lived in Madrid for 5 years. Amazing city if you want great nightlife, beautiful parks, fast and efficient transport, great restaurants, museums, you name it. I love Italy too. Everything you said to describe Italy could be applied to Spain as well. :)
I traveled to 2/3 of countries of Europe and although I've still so much to visit, I totally agree with your view. But now you'll involved in Electric SUV world tour right?
Just got back from Iceland and I've never seen one place have so many spots that words and pictures just don't do justice. Caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights, they were faint, but I turned into a little kid with excitement regardless
Her ex and colleagues from Yes Theory did a great video in Bulgaria. Apparently she doesn't use much internet to research her travels (mainly instagram), nor is she reading her viewer's comments... and her mother worked in a travel agency, LOL. Bulgaria as many commenters pointed out is a great destination. It has the 3rd most archeological sites in Europe after Greece & Italy. Bulgaria has 4 seasons, sun (unlike Scandinavia, UK, NED, BEL, etc.), numerous mountains (highest peak in the Balkans), skiing, rivers, lakes (google the 7 Rila lakes), sea, history, museums (haven't heard of her visiting one), oldest golden treasure in the world, cuisine (we have 2 salads that were voted in the world's top 10), it's cheap, etc. You don't have internet and time to make good route or use a travel agency, with the time necessary to immerse in the local culture. Her kinda tourism sounds like speed dating and checking boxes for the sake of it.
You cannot say “You don't have to “.. irrespective of how much ever you travel and how beautifully you capture them. You just cannot tell anyone “You don't have to travel “ just because you traveled.
Amazing that I've been to most of your hidden gems already, and I didn't make it to Europe for the first time until 2 years ago! Just got back from a trip where I went to Mostar and Slovenia. I definitely want to go back to just Slovenia and take a deeper dive! And last year I was in Brugge! Couldn't agree more, that is one of my favorite places I've been!
Mostar during the Season is always crowded. Most of the Tourists travel from Dubrovnik to Mostar on a one day trip. However, from 17 h the majority of tourists are gone back to Croatia or Sarajevo and the city feels lot better to explore. The crowds vanish magically.
You are so lucky nd fortunate woman to travel entire European country. I would like ur choice nd particularly u know ur vibrant life style ❤❤ I am Debasish from India my dear friend 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed Europe! I live in the Netherlands and have travelled around here as well, so I liked watching this video for sure 😜 Also, you're gorgeous!
I enjoyed Bulgaria. The vibe was so calm which made it a relaxing destination for me. I could enjoy a Shopska salad with a glass of Bulgarian wine right now. 😊
About Northern lights, I am hunting them for 3 years. Glass igloos are not the best become glass blocks some of the auroras AND it usually iced so not transparent. Also Finland is way too cold (-30C), try Norway or Iceland! For northern lights, you have to stay at least 2-3 weeks (or even more) because it is way more difficult to see a crazy show that what people think. Most tourists see little auroras and think it is the real deal but it is not!!! ;). Aurora hunting is actually quite complex... In summer or winter, I can only recommend you Norway (where I moved now), south or north, it is incredible!
Do you want to travel together? Since we both visited every country in the world, it would make for an interesting duo. We could compare our experiences and visit new places in the countries where we haven't been to before. I'm going to go to Bolivia next for a week then to Madeira for another week then to the Azores. You could join my itinerary or I could join your itineraries. These days, I have a flexible schedule and have a lot of free time since all the countries have been checked off the list. What do you think of this idea? I'm also good at videography, so I could take your videos and you could hold the camera for me too.
Great video! One question have u been to Edinburgh in Scotland? It was so magical when i visited in Summers. From Mountains to beaches to castles and Gothic Architecture. One should visit it for sure
That city is a MESS. Every building covered in black/green algae, lots of graffiti, streets full of trash and I believe it's the drug addict capitol of Europe.
Hi Lexie. Love your videos. This one really made me think. I have my 5th year wedding anniversary and wanted to ask where you would recommend we visit in Europe?
They say you they have traveled to all countries-but that is just visiting briefly to make records.Real travel involved spending some considerable time in those countries, immersing one self in the culture and cris crossing the countries.Not just hop in hop off to make records or videos.what do you reckon? its not just about quickly ticking off lists
We went hiking in the Tatras a few years ago. I think Slovakia is especially beautiful because it is not as built up as in DACH, where there is a building every few meters.
Sad to hear that's how you felt about Bulgaria, however, you are very right - you definitely need a local there to show you around, there's an insane amount of gems and adventures to be had, if you have the right guide, and yes, I'm biased a bit, but it's fascinating how much diversity there is in Bulgaria given the country's size. And hey, live's an adventure, maybe someday you'll go there again and have an amazing time, you never know.
Spent this past summer in Bulgaria. Amazingly beautiful and varied terrain. It did strike me as a little harder to get by in English than in other Balkan countries.
Don't forget to mention Flixbus instead of trains. In eastern Europe it's so cheap but the Netherlands is pretty expensive. Taking Flix busses from the Netherlands to other countries is the cheapest way. Another suggestion is to buy the Germany pass and next year the French pass.
I’ve been to plenty of countries in Europe and Sicily is one that makes me return. Beautiful island and the food, oh sooooo good!! There’s this great feeling you get while there and it’s definitely a fav for me!! ❤
Slovakia? What, like where have you travelled to, to Bratislava or what, travelling isn't just about visiting the capital city. Slovakia has some of the most beautiful mountains in the world, the Hight Tatras, beautiful culture and castles.
That is the reality. These "travellers" just visit Bratislava for half a day (main square, castle a and bus station) and then they judge and talking about WHOLE country. Very sad.
I have visited 29 countries in Europe so far. My list: Most beautiful: Croatia 🇭🇷 Most underrated: Montenegro 🇲🇪 Hidden gem: Slovenia 🇸🇮 And I also totally love Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 The countries of former Yugoslavia are the most beautiful in the world in my opinion Least favorite country in Europe: England 🏴 (not the UK, scotland is fine) Most boring: Latvia 🇱🇻 Most overrated: Italy 🇮🇹 Yes italy is a nice country, but why is this country so popular? I definitely recommand going to croatia or Montenegro instead of Italy
lolol...another Croatian, Balkan jealousy. Why so popular??? Uhhh, from skiing in the north during summer to sun bathing in the south, most famous and unique cities in the world that gave the world western civilization from law, science, religion, government, most inventions, most famous peoples, the most popular food in the world, 10% of the worlds best beaches, I could go on and on. Two other well known world travelers, vloggers on YT, Ryan Shirley and Harald Baldr say the same, their favorite country. Ryan has a top 100 places only for Italy, USA (30X larger) and Baldr says it's his favorite "by far far far." Both have visited dozens of countries around the world.
As a Syrian Christian person, I feel connected to countries like Greece and Italy, and I feel that we are similar in appearance, customs, and history, especially since we are peoples very closely linked to the Mediterranean. These two countries are my favorites, in addition to Switzerland. If there is a country in Europe that I must spend the rest of my life in, I will choose Switzerland because it is a very peaceful country. It is beautiful and has land borders with wonderful and beautiful countries such as Austria, Germany and France❤
If France is among your favorite countries, you haven't been in France long enough. Though i guess it is a beautiful place so long as you stay far away from the bigger cities, especially Paris. Stay far far away from Paris.

Bulgaria is awesome. You do not need a local in particular to see all the nice places. I had such great time visiting this month gor the first time
Maybe your country needs more Instagram spots. ;-)
You need to do more of these types of videos Lexie!🌸
I appreciate that the beginning of the video felt less scripted, the zoom in and out makes me dizzy. I love your travel content!

Sorry, but if you've visited just Bratislavy (99% because you were travelling from Vienna to Budapest or back), you saw and experienced absolutely nothing from that country. It is like you went to the Red Square in Moscow and say "I have visited Russia". And judging a country from walking on 5 streets in one city... Slovakia is mostly a rural/mountainous country, just look on the map, how much of it you've visited. So please, don't judge a country, when you've skipped it.
Skiing on Norways fiords from a old sailboat was definitely a trip to remember. Didn't catch the Northern lights that time, but I did on a second trip to Lofoten. Magic places!
The only things you mention about Spain are Sagrada Familia and Ibiza. It seems like you haven't been much in the country you just know the infamous places.
What an incredible adventure! Traveling to every country in Europe is a feat many dream of but few achieve. Your journey not only showcases the diverse cultures and landscapes of this continent but also provides valuable insights for fellow travelers. Your experiences undoubtedly help others navigate their own European adventures more smoothly. Thank you for taking us on this virtual trip and making the world feel a little smaller. 🌍✈
Wow thank you so much! I really appreciate it❤️
I'm in Cameroon doing nothing no handwork no any job opportunities here for me so please I really need someone to help and take me out
@@LexieLimitless Just straight up ignoring comments, and acknowledging only the ones that praise you. Such b1tchy behaviour. I'm done
Amazing video! Right now I'm exploring Bavaria and it's fascinating. I hope to visit every beautiful place which you mention on your video someday. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Have fun in Bavaria!
@@LexieLimitless Thanks, dear! Have fun traveling the world! 🤗
love your videos.... so happy to hear about Bruges my wife and I are planning a Netherlands and Belgium trip this coming April so ill make sure to give us so time in Bruges
Oh yes that’s great! You guys will have a great time 👍🏻
You didn't say where you were in Bulgaria. You just as if told other people that our country is not worth visiting. But it is the oldest place in Europe with amazing nature and culture. Just go prepared and read more, then there is not even that much of a need to go around with locals. I have met a lot of foreigners randomly walking , excited to explore and asking me where they shoud go and they liked it.
I was in Plovdiv and it was beautiful, I love that place
@@lilkica1863 great! :)
A very USA "top 10 destinations" video. I'm happy you put effort into this video, but you really mentioned the most tourist popular spots that everyone always comes to in Europe. But you are young. With time and with more travel you will understand that the less popular places are the most interesting ones.
Finally a new video! I was afraid you stopped making them. I loved Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. Spent 3 days there to unwind after a week in Praha.
Great tips I love Italy can't wait to visit again only visited Rome,Naples,Prompeii and Capri Island so much more to explore anywhere in Italy. I think you mentioned some great places all the places I wanna visit I got a lot of ground to cover late to start traveling at 44 wish I would've had the money and courage to just get out there alone like you amazing.
Agree with you about Italy. It’s just got so much diversity. One of my favourite areas is up in the Ligurian alps north of the coast near Monaco. It’s been untouched by tourism, absolutely beautiful!
As a Slovenian I’m really happy to see my home country mentioned as a hidden gem. But lately I’ve noticed that we really need to get from a hidden gem to just a gem. Most tourists stay just for a day and see only Ljubljana and Bled but miss out on the best spots like the ones you mentioned in the Soča valley
I agree with you
... and Skocjan Cave and the car train to Most na Soci and....
@@LawrenceFeldman-zm5cland goricko, vipava valley, the seaside towns, velika planina,…
I loved driving from bled to Rijeka. Beautiful countries.
Greetings from Texas!
Been fortunate to visit, 🇮🇹, 🇩🇪, 🇫🇷, 🇵🇹, 🇪🇸, & 🇳🇱. it’s amazing they all speak English
Love seeing Slovenia get some love❤❤
So great to see you back on UA-cam! 😊
Hello, since you don’t know anyone from Bulgaria I want to present myself. I am Magdalena 24 y/o currently finished my study in the Netherlands and I missed Bulgaria so much and can’t wait to come back. I know that’s not enough to know somebody but since I am so inspired by yes theory I wanted to offer you a nice tour around Bulgaria and be able to touch with the amazing history, nature and culture that the country has.
Hi Lexie! Great recommendations video:) if you are yet to see northern lights I recommend Norway (Lofoten) in February, that time is not busy and have a huge chance to see the aurora. I been there in February 2022 for 10 days and had seen it almost every night.
I am from Bulgaria and I'm sad to hear that you didn't enjoy the stay here. We have tons of amazing things to see/do here.
It’s soo nice to hear about all of your experiences!! Great video 👍🏾
Spain is by far my favorite country in Europe. Beautiful, and filled with rich history and culture and great diverse landscapes. Also a wide variety of cuisines. I've lived in Madrid for 5 years. Amazing city if you want great nightlife, beautiful parks, fast and efficient transport, great restaurants, museums, you name it. I love Italy too. Everything you said to describe Italy could be applied to Spain as well. :)
I traveled to 2/3 of countries of Europe and although I've still so much to visit, I totally agree with your view. But now you'll involved in Electric SUV world tour right?
have not watched but needed to ask why your thumbnail does not have Spain and Portugal circled as part of Europe????
Just got back from Iceland and I've never seen one place have so many spots that words and pictures just don't do justice. Caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights, they were faint, but I turned into a little kid with excitement regardless
Beautiful travel . Thank you and all the best to you and your channel
Great video! So much to see and so little time! When do you start driving across the world with Ford?
I think Ghent in Belgium is better than Bruges, but I agree Belgium is underrated
So I donn't have to? I want to!
I second going to Cesky Krumlov!! It was so dreamy!!
Her ex and colleagues from Yes Theory did a great video in Bulgaria. Apparently she doesn't use much internet to research her travels (mainly instagram), nor is she reading her viewer's comments... and her mother worked in a travel agency, LOL.
Bulgaria as many commenters pointed out is a great destination. It has the 3rd most archeological sites in Europe after Greece & Italy. Bulgaria has 4 seasons, sun (unlike Scandinavia, UK, NED, BEL, etc.), numerous mountains (highest peak in the Balkans), skiing, rivers, lakes (google the 7 Rila lakes), sea, history, museums (haven't heard of her visiting one), oldest golden treasure in the world, cuisine (we have 2 salads that were voted in the world's top 10), it's cheap, etc.
You don't have internet and time to make good route or use a travel agency, with the time necessary to immerse in the local culture.
Her kinda tourism sounds like speed dating and checking boxes for the sake of it.
You cannot say “You don't have to “.. irrespective of how much ever you travel and how beautifully you capture them. You just cannot tell anyone “You don't have to travel “ just because you traveled.
Amazing that I've been to most of your hidden gems already, and I didn't make it to Europe for the first time until 2 years ago! Just got back from a trip where I went to Mostar and Slovenia. I definitely want to go back to just Slovenia and take a deeper dive! And last year I was in Brugge! Couldn't agree more, that is one of my favorite places I've been!
I'm a huge fan of your work Ms. Lexie. I also follow your travels in your instagram. Enjoy travelling! ^_^♥
Thanks! You just saved me a bunch of money on Slovakia! On the other hand, Czech Republic is on my list!
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned Croatia :/ Albania and Montenegro are also is beautiful and unspoiled by mass tourism (well, Albania is, i guess)
There is a lot of tourism in some parts of Croatia
Thank you so much Ma'am for great informative vlog 🙏 I hope one day I'll visit the Europe 🌍
Very beautiful Place 😍👍
Glad you liked Bruges 😃!
For me Mostar was full of tourism but nice to visit. I think it depends on which day you visitvit.
Mostar during the Season is always crowded. Most of the Tourists travel from Dubrovnik to Mostar on a one day trip. However, from 17 h the majority of tourists are gone back to Croatia or Sarajevo and the city feels lot better to explore. The crowds vanish magically.
Really nice video and good recommendations.
Very informative. ❤ Would you recommend what cities and towns of South France to visit in May. I'm going to Elne. And have 2 weeks
You are so lucky nd fortunate woman to travel entire European country. I would like ur choice nd particularly u know ur vibrant life style ❤❤
I am Debasish from India my dear friend 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed Europe! I live in the Netherlands and have travelled around here as well, so I liked watching this video for sure 😜
Also, you're gorgeous!
Great video and valuable tips. Thank you Lexie 🥰
You are right! Italy is the best for many points of view
Probably you wasn’t really in Bulgaria.. or haven’t seen much of it. Really disappointed me here with your opinion about Bulgaria..
I enjoyed Bulgaria. The vibe was so calm which made it a relaxing destination for me. I could enjoy a Shopska salad with a glass of Bulgarian wine right now. 😊
About Northern lights, I am hunting them for 3 years. Glass igloos are not the best become glass blocks some of the auroras AND it usually iced so not transparent. Also Finland is way too cold (-30C), try Norway or Iceland! For northern lights, you have to stay at least 2-3 weeks (or even more) because it is way more difficult to see a crazy show that what people think. Most tourists see little auroras and think it is the real deal but it is not!!! ;). Aurora hunting is actually quite complex... In summer or winter, I can only recommend you Norway (where I moved now), south or north, it is incredible!
Good suggestions. I hope these will help me.
Amazing! Love to go with!!
Do you want to travel together? Since we both visited every country in the world, it would make for an interesting duo. We could compare our experiences and visit new places in the countries where we haven't been to before. I'm going to go to Bolivia next for a week then to Madeira for another week then to the Azores. You could join my itinerary or I could join your itineraries. These days, I have a flexible schedule and have a lot of free time since all the countries have been checked off the list. What do you think of this idea? I'm also good at videography, so I could take your videos and you could hold the camera for me too.
Great video! One question have u been to Edinburgh in Scotland? It was so magical when i visited in Summers. From Mountains to beaches to castles and Gothic Architecture. One should visit it for sure
That city is a MESS. Every building covered in black/green algae, lots of graffiti, streets full of trash and I believe it's the drug addict capitol of Europe.
Bulgaria? Um, why? As a Bulgarian, I can list some disadvantages myself, but to be put in the same lot as Belarus, come on!
i have been searching ur travel about indonesia / Bali one, but cannot find it. Have you been to this magnificent country??
Hi Lexie. Love your videos. This one really made me think. I have my 5th year wedding anniversary and wanted to ask where you would recommend we visit in Europe?
Hi. European here. It really depends on what u r looking 4, what places u already know, the duration of the trip and the time of the year.
Love your vids! You’re my inspiration when it comes to travel (:
They say you they have traveled to all countries-but that is just visiting briefly to make records.Real travel involved spending some considerable time in those countries, immersing one self in the culture and cris crossing the countries.Not just hop in hop off to make records or videos.what do you reckon? its not just about quickly ticking off lists
Hello Lexei you visit my country bangladash 🇧🇩🇧🇩 Pleas.... ❤❤
Do you visit Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Slovakia has some amazingly beautiful scenery so I don't really understand why that would be mentioned among the not so good places.
We went hiking in the Tatras a few years ago. I think Slovakia is especially beautiful because it is not as built up as in DACH, where there is a building every few meters.
Sad to hear that's how you felt about Bulgaria, however, you are very right - you definitely need a local there to show you around, there's an insane amount of gems and adventures to be had, if you have the right guide, and yes, I'm biased a bit, but it's fascinating how much diversity there is in Bulgaria given the country's size. And hey, live's an adventure, maybe someday you'll go there again and have an amazing time, you never know.
Spent this past summer in Bulgaria. Amazingly beautiful and varied terrain. It did strike me as a little harder to get by in English than in other Balkan countries.
I've always wondered what Croatia would be like
It's very beautiful!
I visited Rijeka a few months ago. Not far from Ljubljana Slovenia.
Wow that’s amazing girl. I hope to go bald home to Bosnia I left at age 10 can’t afford it. It’s all so expensive.
Have a great weekend everyone! 😊❤
Don't forget to mention Flixbus instead of trains. In eastern Europe it's so cheap but the Netherlands is pretty expensive. Taking Flix busses from the Netherlands to other countries is the cheapest way.
Another suggestion is to buy the Germany pass and next year the French pass.
Lexie, how difficult is it to travel between the different countries of Europe? Visa and paperwork stuff?
Depends on your passport
I definitely agree with you about Italy and french riviera also Paris is my favorite!
How did you affort to travel so much, besides looking after your budget?
I went to Iceland in 2013 I think it was. I took a circular coach tour round the island.
All Europe such a beautiful country place ❤🎉 I also feel like traveling to Europe.😢
Have you been to Sicily?
I’ve been to plenty of countries in Europe and Sicily is one that makes me return. Beautiful island and the food, oh sooooo good!! There’s this great feeling you get while there and it’s definitely a fav for me!! ❤
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Hello, can i have your opinion on something about travel and everything that goes around it please ? thank you
Slovakia? What, like where have you travelled to, to Bratislava or what, travelling isn't just about visiting the capital city. Slovakia has some of the most beautiful mountains in the world, the Hight Tatras, beautiful culture and castles.
That is the reality. These "travellers" just visit Bratislava for half a day (main square, castle a and bus station) and then they judge and talking about WHOLE country. Very sad.
Slovak rep is beautiful and got so many castles .like Bojnice Castle is most fairytale castle in Europe and. Bratislava is so beautiful city
I loved Barcelona
I have visited 29 countries in Europe so far. My list:
Most beautiful: Croatia 🇭🇷
Most underrated: Montenegro 🇲🇪
Hidden gem: Slovenia 🇸🇮
And I also totally love Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦
The countries of former Yugoslavia are the most beautiful in the world in my opinion
Least favorite country in Europe: England 🏴 (not the UK, scotland is fine)
Most boring: Latvia 🇱🇻
Most overrated: Italy 🇮🇹 Yes italy is a nice country, but why is this country so popular? I definitely recommand going to croatia or Montenegro instead of Italy
lolol...another Croatian, Balkan jealousy. Why so popular??? Uhhh, from skiing in the north during summer to sun bathing in the south, most famous and unique cities in the world that gave the world western civilization from law, science, religion, government, most inventions, most famous peoples, the most popular food in the world, 10% of the worlds best beaches, I could go on and on. Two other well known world travelers, vloggers on YT, Ryan Shirley and Harald Baldr say the same, their favorite country. Ryan has a top 100 places only for Italy, USA (30X larger) and Baldr says it's his favorite "by far far far." Both have visited dozens of countries around the world.
As a Syrian Christian person, I feel connected to countries like Greece and Italy, and I feel that we are similar in appearance, customs, and history, especially since we are peoples very closely linked to the Mediterranean. These two countries are my favorites, in addition to Switzerland. If there is a country in Europe that I must spend the rest of my life in, I will choose Switzerland because it is a very peaceful country. It is beautiful and has land borders with wonderful and beautiful countries such as Austria, Germany and France❤
I love watching your videos
Great video!
If France is among your favorite countries, you haven't been in France long enough. Though i guess it is a beautiful place so long as you stay far away from the bigger cities, especially Paris. Stay far far away from Paris.
great video keep it up
When I went to Europe I didn’t know anyone just traveled had an iternary learned on the fly asked around learned language
U know,i have always wanted to do something great in the world,but don't really know how to get started
Happy for see u 🎉
You really said Sagrada Família so well
