I've traveled extensively to the East of Europe, passing through countries like Albania, Romania, Kosovo, Turkey, Serbia, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Hungary, and Slovenia. My friend from Turkey introduced me to their warm and welcoming culture. I found people in the East to be cold during the day but incredibly warm at night. Family values are still strong in the East, which is refreshing to see. These travels have broadened my horizons, and I feel fortunate to have experienced their unique traditions and hospitality.
