Macedonia gave me such a strange feeling of familiarity 😂🇲🇰

The moment I started walking around, I noticed how much the streets, old buildings and overall atmosphere reminded me of Eastern Europe and the CIS countries I remember from years ago.

Everything felt a little old-fashioned, but in a very interesting way. It was like seeing a version of Europe that hasn’t changed as quickly as some of the bigger cities.

And the prices were honestly one of my favorite surprises 😂

Compared with many places I’ve visited recently, everything felt incredibly affordable. Food, transportation and all those small everyday expenses were so much cheaper.

It definitely wasn’t the typical polished European tourist destination, but that’s exactly what made it interesting. I really enjoyed seeing this quieter and more authentic side of the region
