9 Countries in 10 Days

My stepdad ingeniuously planned this trip with 9 countries in 10 days, all based around a Coldplay concert in Bucharest, Romania. We were all booked and ready to go, but unfortunately couldn't make it because of health-related issues, so I can't take credit for the itinerary, but it was too good not to share. We shortened our 2024 trip to Croatia and England but this is definitely on my bucketlist for the future... If you end up using the itinerary, let me know what you think!

10 days, 9 countries, 31 hours of driving...stopping in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and Hungary!
