I spent a semester volunteering in this part of the world with ILP and planned the perfect European vacation — here are all of my tips, tricks, my itinerary and all the things I wished I did differently! 

You can see the Northern lights from a few cities that may surprise you! 

We’ve had a handful of ILP volunteers venture out to Sarajevo … and the result? “Bosnia is such an underrated country … such an Old Town Gem” or how about “Never expected to fall in love with Sarajevo Bosnia, but things just happen sometimes I guess”. Either way, couldn’t agree more. 

I went to Eastern Europe in the middle of January, and I was so glad I had all of this info.

Croatia is fast becoming one of our favorite destinations in Europe ... and the capital Zagreb is one of those reasons!

Dresden, Germany is full of amazing history and of course...it is gorgeous. Add this city to your must-visit list and see what it has to offer!

If your ideal Saturday includes wandering around pastel neighborhoods studded with onion-dome cathedrals, you’ll love walking around the Podil neighborhood. 

The country of Bosnia and Herzegovina isn’t nearly as famous as other countries in Europe, but that just means you’ll get to soak up these sites without any crowds.

Mamma Mia, Greece is about to make all of your Mediterranean dreams come true. But since you only have a couple of days in Greece, you want to know where to spend them, right? Keep reading to learn about the highlights in each of our favorite spots. 

Forget the rest of Europe, Romania is hiding all the castle and red-tile rooftops you’re looking for. Come take a day trip to this magically medieval Romanian village and feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard.
