when you come and visit here again.

If you want to get off the beaten path, I cannot reccomend Eastern Europe enough. So much beauty, history, and the affordabilty levels are streets ahead of the Western EU.

In no order (and some I have left off):

bold are the ones I rec the most

Czech Republic
Poland
Croatia
Slovakia
Hungary
Romania
Moldova
Slovenia
Bulgaria
Montenegro
Albania

If Orbán goes down, Budapest (and Hungary in general) should rocket to top of the travel charts.
