Thethi Mountains, Albania

Hi, I’m Daniel. A few years ago, I created this website after spending about a year total traveling around the Balkans and learning about its fascinating yet tumultuous history. Since then, I have explored most of Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, and the Caucasus region. I also have a YouTube and TikTok channel, so be sure and check those out as well!

The updated country pages include places of interest, cost of accommodation, and important eras and events throughout its history, and any other relevant information. Most places I mention I have personally visited, but a few are places I was unable to visit, largely due to lack of funding. At the top, you will also find travel stories and articles related to politics and history.

Maintaining all of these takes up time, so I am far behind on where I want to be with these projects. As a struggling freelancer, I spend a lot of time searching for work with not a lot of success, which means less time I have to create content, focus on investigative journalism, and secure interviews with powerful, unique, and influential people. If you are impressed, intrigued, or inspired, consider donating to my Patreon account. I am also open to sponsorships!

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy!
