Istanbul is fascinating! The fact you are constantly standing in between two continents blew my mind the whole time I was there - and it still does. I personally didn't have enough time but I'd say you might as well visit Cappadocia while you're there. As for Albania, I too have been DYING to visit!!!! One of my best friends spent a whole summer backpacking around the Balkans and honestly it is so amazing, I fell (even more) in love with it. My two favourites are Albania and Montenegro... the views are insane.
This is an excellent list! Budapest is so cool. Also going to Mexico City early next year and very excited! And yeah, everyone and their dog is going to Albania at the moment
Albania looks incredible!
Ah I have a feeling you’ll fall in love with Mexico City! It’s the BEST
Albania is wonderful, one of my favorite spots in the Balkans. Definitely check out North Macedonia as well, I love Ohrid and Mavrovo National Park!
Istanbul sounds incredible! here's to your amazing year of travel, cannot wait to hear all about it! x
Your Mexico trip sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Albania is on my list as well!
Let me know if you need any Mexico City recs - I live there! ☺️ Also definitely feel like Albania is having a moment. Love this bucket list post.
Absolutely! I’ll drop you a message near the time 🥰
