Lithuania

I have a bad habit of not researching the places we go to (my dad told me to research our destinations once, but I only researched Ukraine in the end). A landmark is meaningless without knowing the story behind it. In Lithuania, I learned how interesting the backstories to some

Luxembourg

The question one asks when they enter Luxembourg is: Why am I here? Is it because of finance, the main source of Luxembourg’s GDP, is it for true tourism, visiting a country for its sights, or is it for a third reason? We were there because of that third reason:

Greece
