Europe TOP 3 Places to Visit - Top Destinations After One Year Full-Time Travel

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
After one year of full-time travel, the creators reflect on their experiences across eight different countries to identify their favorite destinations. They begin by discussing their time in Spain, noting that while Valencia offered great transit and beaches, they found the locals somewhat unfriendly. In contrast, they highly recommend Alicante for its beach community and affordable day trips, and Sevilla for its incredible history and walkability. Moving outside the Schengen area, they describe Montenegro as a beautiful but quiet winter destination and Albania as a place with fantastic food and kind people, despite challenges with grocery stores and transportation. In Greece, they express surprise at how affordable groceries were in Santorini, though they noted the island can be windy and crowded. Their journey continues to Portugal, where they fell in love with the Algarve region due to its climate and welcoming atmosphere, and Romania, where they embraced a faster travel pace to see multiple locations. They conclude by ranking their top three places to return to: number three is Spain, number two is Romania, and their number one choice is the Algarve in Portugal. Looking ahead, they plan to visit Southeast Asia and eventually Central America.
