Discover the Balkans: What You Need to Know Before You Go

Online Virtual Event ·  Thursday, January 15th · 9-10am PT, 12-1pm ET

The Balkans are one of Europe’s best-kept travel secrets. Big scenery. Layered cultures. Deep history. Warm, welcoming locals. Food that will absolutely ruin you for lesser meals. And somehow… still wildly underrated. Oh, and did we mention these countries are refreshingly affordable compared to much of Western Europe? Yep. The Balkans deliver.

Join Annie from Explorer Annie, travel planning expert and seasoned Balkan adventurer, for a fun, info-packed deep dive into this fascinating corner of the world. Annie will show you how to plan a trip that goes beyond the obvious, with practical tips on where to stay, how to get around, what to expect on the ground, and the off-the-radar places that make travel feel like an actual adventure.
