We swapped planes for 8 boats, 33 trains, and 55 buses during our flight-free attempt of Europe.

We endured some long bus rides to reach the ancient Kommagene Kingdom and Mount Nemrut in Türkiye's southeast.

We spent three weeks bus-hopping through Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania.

Nature has won our hearts again, this time in the alps. We hiked peaks in Austria, Albania and Bosnia.

We spent a night in the Republic of San Marino, which is one of the world's oldest democracies. It was filled with stores selling weapons and luxury goods, plus incredible views.

Riding our bikes through France's best wine regions made us feel like we're officially back in "holiday mode".
