Somewhat off the beaten path

Despite technology improving and standards of living increasing over the years, certain socio-political divides have worsened with various tensions between ethnic backgrounds getting worse, particularly in America. Moving away from all that, however it can be good to focus on the positive, with Europe across the board being a much more accepting mix of countries. We have outlined below the best countries to go to in Europe.

Switzerland

While it may be more expensive than most alternatives it does have a pleasant experience with foreign visitors being greeted with kindness and generous hospitality regardless of the colour of their skin. Be sure to visit the stunning geological and natural features such as the Matterhorn, Switzerland’s iconic pointed peak that is one of the highest mountains in the Alps. Similarly Interlaken between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz is one of Switzerland’s most popular summer holiday resorts with gorgeous flower gardens, hotels and cafes surrounding the Höheweg, the main boulevard through the town featuring incredible mountain views.

Romania

While it may have a bad reputation and is sometimes looked down upon by other European neighbors, the local populace are very welcoming and friendly to visitors of all colours and in addition to its reputation for supernatural horror with Transylvanian vampires lurking around every corner. While Romania does have a number of medieval castles, it is also abundant in picturesque alpine scenery. Why not take a trip back through time on the Vaser Valley Forestry Railway, which takes you through forests of the Carpathian Mountains on a steam-powered train. If trains aren’t your thing, you can always check out Poiana Brasov: Romania’s most popular ski resort that draws skiers from all across Europe and hosts a combined 25 km (15 miles) of ski runs.
