A collage with many beautiful scenes from very picturesque European destinations I have visited

European Destinations on Alonga Travel by Countries


I haven’t covered all destinations I’ve visited yet by far

My extensive travels of 20 years resulted in accumulation a great wealth of memories, pictures, videos, and personal notes written before and during the trips!

However…

I add many pictures and videos

I’m a visual person, and pictures and videos are very important to me. I treat you as I like to be treated myself to have the best impression of a destination. And adding all those media to my posts takes a long time to prepare.

Also, I video and picture record EVERYTHING I see during my travel explorations. It’s great for showing you the destinations, but it’s a full-time job to keep track of where what is (besides having to buy tons of storage space, both local and cloud space, perhaps you can help me get more storage for my videos? Thank you!:) The link to donate is in the footer.)

That is why I’m slower covering the destinations I have visited, loved and have a lot to say about, than I would like to be.

While I have been to almost every country, I spend the majority of my time in Southern countries in Europe as they are my favorite European destinations. I love Italy, Spain (Andalusia area), Sothern France (I love every city there!) and Montenegro.

Montenegro is a great country to visit for the US traveler on a long trip, because it allows us to stay in Europe, after the Schengen Zone kicked us out after our 90 days there. 🙁 But – I don’t get sad, I go to Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, North Macedonia (love love love Orchid!), Serbia with many nice cities or Albania.

We used to be able to go to Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria to reset the 180 days clock, but they have joined the Schengen’s Zone lately. Good for them, but a great loss for us because of the explained above reasons.

I loved visiting Dubrovnik and other small cute cities, like Trogir, Croatia. Nowadays, there is no time to go there, because I mostly use my 90 days for the main European destination, and I feel Dubrovnik is similar to Budva old town, which I can visit after my 90 days are over.

Still, I visited Dubrovnik recently in 2023 when I took a bus to there from Budva. It was only a 4-hour bus ride. I took many videos and I need to publish them. Above is one of the pictures I took in Dubrovnik, and below is a picture from one of my night walks in Trogir. I really enjoyed my time there!

Here’s the corrected text with minimal changes for clarity and grammatical accuracy:
Also, besides European destinations, I started covering many destinations in Southeast Asia, and soon I will cover American destinations. I have been all over the US extensively.

Obviously, I’m a great expert on Portland and Oregon in general, as I have lived there the majority of my life.
Thank you for visiting, and come back soon to check out my new coverage!
