DESTINATIONS
Europe
Europe’s most compelling destinations aren’t always the ones on the postcard. Young International focuses on the countries that are still writing their story — youthful capitals, ancient crossroads, and corners of the continent that mainstream travel ignores entirely.
Georgia
6 storiesGeorgia is where wine was born — 8,000 years of winemaking tradition flow through this country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Beyond the vineyards, soaring Caucasus peaks, medieval monasteries, and alpine villages dot the countryside, while the capital blends crumbling Soviet architecture with a thriving creative scene. The famous sulfur baths, legendary hospitality, and layers of Persian, Ottoman, and Russian influence make Georgia dramatic, soulful, and unlike anywhere else in Europe.

Slovenia
4 storiesSlovenia packs remarkable diversity into a small space — Alpine peaks, Adriatic coast, emerald rivers, and a fairy-tale lake with an island church at its center. The capital is charming and walkable, the countryside offers wine regions and limestone caves, and the commitment to sustainability runs deep. Boutique hotels in the hills, farm-to-table dining, and a landscape that shifts from mountains to Mediterranean in an hour’s drive.

Kosovo
3 storiesKosovo is Europe’s youngest country, declared independent in 2008 and still writing its story. The capital has a youthful energy — cafés spill onto streets, street art covers Soviet-era buildings, and a generation is rebuilding with fierce pride. Beyond the cities, Ottoman-era towns and Serbian monasteries hint at the region’s complex layers. Raw, resilient, and refreshingly real.
