I spent two months in Ohrid! It's such a beautiful area. Lovely churches, lovely people, lovely lake. I definitely plan to go back. We were there in.....2023, as well! X'D That Balkans trip started with a month in Sofia, then a month in Skopje, then two months in Ohrid, then 3 months in Albania. I think it was, like, a week in Tirana, then a month in Shkoder, then a week hiking in Teth National Park (which I CANNOT recommend enough!!!), then a month on the beach in Vlore, a week in Berat, a week in Durres, then back to Tirana for a few days, before we headed to Montenegro. Spent, like, a week in Bar, then a week in Podgorica, before heading to Vienna to meet up with my partner's mum for a month of museum-hopping, at her request.
I loved the balkans! I definitely plan to go back. My partner and I are Americans, so we do the schengen bounce with some regularity. The only thing stopping me from going back and forth between the Balkans and various Schengen countries is that I can't tolerate the winters in the Balkans - the cold exacerbates my chronic pain, and, unfortunately, I'm allergic to air pollution, so I can't handle the spike in AQI that occurs in the winter due to the combination of seasonal inversion and the mountains acting as a giant walled basin that keeps in the smog in.
My most recent trip was a 3 month trip to Japan. We managed to catch both ume AND sakura season, which was FANTASTIC! It was my second time to Japan, and I would go back in a HEARTBEAT.
Japan is one of my favorite countries to be in.
