I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 604. Today the amateur traveler talks about beaches and

majestic mountain scenery, Roman ruins and Venetian cities, Orthodox monasteries and vineyards, as we go to the country

of Montenegro.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Without further

ado let's talk about Montenegro. I'd like to welcome back to the show

Gary Art from everything dash everywhere

dot com who's come to talk to us about Montenegro. Gary welcome back to the show

Thanks I've always wanted to be on the amateur traveler and this is a wish come true.

We had some trouble trying to count up the number of times that Gary has been in the show, but we think

this is his 12th appearance, not to mention the 200 some this weekend travel episodes that we have done

together as we've been co-hosting that since 2009.

And I should say now that it's my 12th show I get my card punched and I think I get a free show

I believe that is true I believe that it's true. Why are we talking about Montenegro?

Because it's a really interesting place and I've

recently spent 10 days there in February of 2018 and I think it is going to be one of

the next hot regions in Europe because Europe's running out of hot

regions. And I think Montenegro and especially the Balkans, former Yugoslavia in general, is kind of the

next big thing because it's very affordable it's

opening up it's become very safe in Montenegro in particular of the non-EU

Baltic countries think really has some of the best prospects well I should say we've done two shows on Montenegro before.
