Tallinn, Estonia is a medieval city that will surprise you! There are castles in the middle of the city, cobble stone streets, and delicious traditional dishes. I spent 2 days there and cannot recommend this hidden gem enough! Since this country is less touristy than Western European countries, locals may be intrigued by Black travelers. I found that locals were excited to see new faces but weren't in your face asking for pictures or anything like that. I didn't experience any form of subtle or blatant racism. All are welcome in Estonia! Things to do: -Explore the medieval town walls surrounding Old Town -Snap panoramic photos from Toompea Hill. -Visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral -Climb up St. Olaf’s Church, which is the city’s largest medieval building -Walk around Town Hall Square -Eat at an authentic medieval tavern called Draakon!

Slovenia is an underrated country! It's one of the greenest countries in Europe. If you are into beautiful landscapes, castles, caves, and good food, Slovenia is for you! Certain Eastern/Central European countries have a bad reputation for racism, but I wouldn't include Slovenia on that list. I found people to be respectful and friendly. As long as you are respectful to Slovenia's natural environment, you won't have any issues. Things to do: -Rent a boat or a kayak to visit Bled Island -Hike around Lake Bled -Try Bled Cream Cake -Visit Bled Castle -Take a stroll around Ljubljana, the capitol city. -Visit Ljubljana Castle for a great view of the city -Walk around Prešeren Square to see colorful buildings and live entertainment
