Hear about travel to Romania and Northern Hungary as the Amateur Traveler talks to Lisa VanderVeen about her recent Intrepid trip to the area.
Why should you go to Romania?
Lisa says, "Romania is much more than Dracula and Vlad Tepes, though I will confess that was my initial draw to the country. It's got a great diversity of landscape and a multi layered history going way, way back. And then also as recently as the, communist times. Lots of really interesting museums to visit."
"In terms of the topography and the geography, it's just amazing. It's got beautiful towns the Maramures region has a history of weavings and just the colors, red, orange, pink, and blue with the haystacks dotting the rolling hills and the mountains in the backdrop are really stunning."
"The Carpathian Mountains are moody and they're filled with lore and at the same time they feel a little bit like Switzerland. There's great beauty, great history, and wonderful food and wine in Romania."
Here's the itinerary of the trip to Romania and Northern Hungary as described by Lisa:
Budapest, Hungary:
Start the trip in Budapest, Lisa's favorite European city, known for its architecture, the Danube River, the Fisherman's Bastion, and thermal baths.
Eger, Hungary:
Travel by train to Eger, a small town with Baroque architecture, a notable history of resisting the Ottomans, and a rich wine tradition.
Explore the Castle of Eger and the Valley of Beautiful Women, known for its wine cellars.
Visit the Basilica of St. John the Apostle and the Camera Obscura.

AT#909 - Travel to Northeastern Florida - Jacksonville, Amelia Island and St Augustine
Saison 1 · Épisode 909
samedi 24 août 2024 • Durée 01:11:36
Hear about travel to Northeast Florida as the Amateur Traveler talks to Angie Orth from Angie Away about her hometown and the area around it.
Why should someone go to Northeast Florida?
Angie says, "So many reasons. People come to Florida for a lot of different reasons. Mostly theme parks, maybe swamps, alligators, Miami. Those are the things when I meet people around the world that they think Florida is about. Everybody thinks I either live in Miami, in some kind of penthouse, or like at Disney World, in a castle of some sort."
"There's so much to do here, but I would say the majority of it is It's outdoors, it's nature, it's history. We have a ton of interesting history that even natives don't necessarily know about. It's hidden away in the neighborhoods and buried and there's ruins and also layers of history, layers and hundreds of years and wars. To make this area what it is and it's really interesting once you start going to the national park areas and the forts and the ruins."
Angie recommends several must-see locations and activities in Northeastern Florida:
Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island (Nassau County):
Visit Fort Clinch State Park for hiking, biking, and exploring historic forts.
Enjoy the beaches, which are often quiet and uncrowded.
Enjoy one of Amelia Island's charming bed-and-breakfasts.

AT#900 - Travel to Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Saison 1 · Épisode 900
samedi 22 juin 2024 • Durée 46:55
Hear about travel to the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna as the Amateur Traveler talks to Keith Jenkins from VelvetEscape.com who keeps returning to this unvisited gem.
Why should you go to Emilia-Romagna?
Keith says, "I think most people will know about the Products that come from there, the food, even the cars, maybe some of the cities, but they would just not associate that with the name Emilia Romagna. And we all know Parma, Bologna but there's so much more to explore. And a large part of the region is actually pretty, off the beaten track, because you have all these little, small, medieval towns. On the plains, also at the hill towns, which are absolutely beautiful. And there's so much to explore. They've got huge forests and lakes and national parks."
Based on Keith Jenkins' detailed description, here's a recommended itinerary for a trip to Emilia-Romagna:
Day 1: Arrival in Parma
Morning: Arrive in Parma. Check into your hotel.
Afternoon: Explore Parma’s city center. Visit the Cathedral and the Baptistery.
Evening: Dine at a local restaurant to enjoy Parma’s famous prosciutto.
