Lived and worked in North Macedonia for 3 years, travelled all over the country and have been everywhere. It is truly an astonishing beautiful country in all seasons with, if you get to know them, welcoming friendly people, really good food and fine wines. I made friends for life. My second homeland. ❤❤❤

@WanDEreR I can in fact read writ and read in Macedonian and I can in fact understand what Alexander the Great and Philip spoke and no lots of Macedonians live there we all hate Greece they could eat everyones lina
@Star Collider ..and u can start taking drugs ,cause u r speaking dirts already..Alex and Philip are Macedonians, as we are, and yes we are mixed with Slavs(proud to be a Slav,in love with Russia,Serbia,Croatia,etc.), and u r just somebody who came from north africa, who thinks he is greek..so, u can start taking drugs to survive the truth.
You've done a wonderful job in showing the beauty of my mother country. I really hope you enjoyed it. And you're also one of the first people I have seen take so much pride in pronouncing the names of our cities and towns correctly :)

Македония е регион в Гърция, вашата държава се казва Северна Македония*. Също кога ще си признаете, че ще българи, вместо да крадете чуждата история на Гърция?
We know and you know that we, your neighbors, do not want to annex your territory as you provocatively imply.. Maybe you should stop provoking us and we can all together make the balkans a better place.. You've voted positively to a referendum that set "North Macedonia" as the official name of your country... You should just stick to that and you will soon understand that respect can be mutual..
Macedonia is now definitely on my travel list. Your editing is really great... and like others said in the comments section, your voice is very calming and nice to listen to. Thanks! 😊🙏🏼

North Macedonia is so beautiful! I was there some years ago, before the pandemic started & i really loved it there. I am planning to go back & this time, with my beloved family. I'm quite sure they'll love it there too. I love the traditional Macedonian music, national costumes, dance, food, scenery, history, etc. The rich culture is so wonderful & so unique to Macedonia.

Macedonia is known for the cleanest water in the Balkans. Wherever you drink water, you can’t go wrong. On the slopes of the mountains, in the forests and along the roads, there are many natural springs with fresh, cold, clean, drinking water. When you get tired of walking through beautiful mountain forests, it looks like a gift from heaven !! The taste of the water is absolutely amazing and will stay in the memory for a long time. I always thought that the water was the same everywhere, until I arrived in Macedonia. Also, they have a lot of smaller rivers with crystal clear water, and in many places the water can be drunk directly from the river and is absolutely safe. (See local information.) Macedonian food is great, but the water is just delicious. How can water be delicious? Go to Macedonia and you will find out.
@alucard alucardidis Sorry... Alexander has always been a Slavic name. Also, Alexander the Great needed a translator when he addressed the Greeks, that is a written historical fact. At the same time, he got along perfectly with the Slavic tribes in Persia. So Alexander the Great was obviously a Slav. The Vienna-Berlin Historical School, which claims that the entire history of the ancient Balkans belongs to the Greeks, is the biggest fraud of the 20th century. . Today, there are a number of new archeological excavations that confirm that the Slavs have been in the Balkans since ancient times. The area of northern Greece, Macedonia and southern Thrace has been Slavic territory since the time of Vinch and Lepenski Vir. But then, in 1923, there was a change of population between the Greeks and the Turks. The Greeks came from Turkey and today they believe that the entire history of that area belongs to them. They are very aggressive in their attitudes, but the TRUTH is like WATER - sooner or later it always finds a way to appear. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_exchange_between_Greece_and_Turkey#:~:text=340%2C000%20Greeks%20remained%20in%20Turkey,them%20in%20Istanbul%20in%201924.&text=He%20estimates%20that%20384%2C000%20Greeks,The%20total%20number%20reaching%20648%2C000.

Loved your video and I could not agree with your video more! I have a wonderful Filevi Ohrid pearl necklace and earrings. If you ever visit again, I recommend touring Strumitsa and Gevgelija. There are plenty of places to hike, collect herbs for mountain tea, and enjoy all the wineries in this region.

I am from the town where the best wine and rakija is made, Kavadarci, Tikveš region. I think people generally have no idea about it and rarely anyone visits it, but it's an amazing place, and maybe the most developed town currently
OMG, good lady! I was riveted to this video!!! Such a good montage of beautiful and picturesque scenes in North Macedonia! I absolutely adored the music, and your narrative style - sort of reminded me of a Steves episode, but even better (sorry Rick!) because I could feel the emotion of adoration about these places in your voice! Gentle beautiful soul, thank you for helping to bring people to awareness of the things that make their home memorable and endearing. People need to see that they need and like the same things, are more alike than different, in so many ways - our common humanity. I wish I could contribute on Patreon to help your cause and journeys - maybe when I find re-employment - soon, barring additional delays due to the pandemic. Those pearls were gorgeous, and quality, for sure - they compliment your beauty. Merry Christmas, health and happiness! The best and most priceless gift one can receive is love. Wishing you the best!
I've been trying to take a trip to Europe for 10 years and will finally have the opportunity once Covid restrictions make it feasible. It looks like North Macedonia would be possible even now. Croatia also appears to be reasonably visitable now too (for Americans I mean). I'm looking for an interesting experience in a country without too many covid restrictions (I don't want a bunch of curfews, mask requirements, and so on). Between North Macedonia and Croatia. anyone have a preference or suggestions-- or even another option? I'm just looking to get a break from the grind of everyday life and see a European country for the first time- to experience a new culture, new foods, sights, and so on. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
You are one of my favourite TH-camrs. Above all you are a sincere pure person. I’m really sorry to make this remark, but The country’s name is Vardaska or North Macedonia thanks to the traitors of Hellas. The agreement that gave the name North Macedonia is illegal and Cancelled. The cradle of The Macedonian Dynasty, was Argos Orestikon in Pella Hellas. In Antiquity this land was called Paionia and was part of Alexander’s conquests. In the this reasoning Bulgaria or Afghanistan could claim the name as well. I love all my Balkan brothers and I live to see them in Unison. However historical facts are crystal clear. On behalf of the suppressed, betrayed, crippled minority of the Hellenic tribe, I humbly urge you to consider adding NORTH to the title of the video. You passed Makedonia on your way to Bulgaria. Thank you and excuse my intervention.
Most people are ignorant in Toronto that Macedonia is actually Greek and north Macedonia is this new former Yugoslav nation good luck trying to educate them
Don't turn this beautiful vlog into your own political view enough is enough Macedonia is and always will belong to the beautiful people of Macedonia keep your personal interests to yourself no one cares for hellenic propaganda people are smarter then that smile and be happy your provocation is to no use
It seems you did not read anything of the above. I spoke of History not politics frankly. Indeed as you stated as long as there are educated people this name will refer to it’s true origin, The Hellenic civilisation. Beyond this point you will not get another response since you didn’t even noticed I was generous enough to ask Alina just to add North. Which is ludicrous already since Makedonia is one and it’s north region is at the borders of Bulgaria and Skopje.
@@dejanstoimenovski2350 ye it hurts a lot of neighbours because it's a small country but so beautiful for some reason they've always wanted to take from the Macedonian people
Hey bro, I think there are buses available, and if there is an option try going to Ohrid and Berovo, the nature is excellent there. Love to Crna Gora from Macedonia, we love your country as Macedonians!
Very happy you visited N.Macedonia. Hope you had great time here! P.s you have superb pronunciation of all city names, just as we say them in Macedonian! Great!
I am definitely interested in Ottoman empire as I was born NW of Bosnia grew up in Croatia 🇭🇷 moved to USA and my grandma was Ottoman my dad 👨 was Bosnian I am definitely planning on coming to Makednija been to Montenegro and loved it but Makedonija has been on my list thank you so much for this video. 😊 ❤
Quite a coincidence that we visited all the places in BG and Macedonia from my home in Troyan Bulgaria in the last year or so, my personal favourite was Bitola, we also did Croatia which is stunning but a little bit expensive compared, you just missed a few fantastic wineries in BG, you could easily do a whole other series on Bulgaria..........Great vids
Oh i must add, the Ohrid pearls and original family run business is simply breath taking & contains very high quality/grade jewellery. So very beautiful and feminine. I have always loved pearls & enjoy those special occasions, when i can get dolled up & wear my beloved pearls. They're a real show stopper! The Macedonian people are so beautiful, both inside & out. I just love Macedonia & the Macedonian people. x
I really enjoyed your video. My ancestry is Macedonian but I was born and raised in Australia. I plan to visit next year and take my kids all over Europe including Macedonia thanks for highlighting some places I didn't even know of, definitely adding them to the list. Glad you enjoyed your stay! 😎✌️
Hi Alina! Thanks for sharing your top-10 list of ‘must-go-to / must-see’ places in North Macedonia! I very much enjoyed your informed content and anecdotes, as well as your captivating film footage. I am more and more impressed with your film editing skills. Also, thanks for your kind words in your last livestream! Be happy, safe, and healthy, Alina!!!
Thank you because of you I see also the place that mention in the bible that pablo also travel for 7 churches in his journey during his day of sharing the gospel of God I am very thankful and grateful also that beautiful place now a day God bless you alway's in to your next journey
I’m so happy to hear it and I hope she will love them! I bought a ring for my Mom as well because you just can’t get this kind of quality for a quarter of the price in Canada.
Excellent recap of North Macedonia, Alina! I enjoyed and was in awe of every video you did while you were there. My favorite has to be the lake and town on the shore. I could see that if I was there for a month, I still would not experience everything they offered there. Great presentation, and I'll put this one at the title page of the album I keep of places we want to for sure visit soon as we can. Cheers!!!
Amazing video! I have a question if you could reply I was wondering. Do they ask for any documents when you entered Macedonia and other balkan countries as uk/usa/eucitizen like bank statement/return/onward ticket insurance etc? I am UK citizen , travelling west balkan countries in 2 weeks. Appreciate your assistance in advance.
was there in 2015, a great trip. BTW, if you can pronounce the "C" with a "K" sound for its country name, the locals will love you for it...One word of caution, don't tell your Greek friends about your trip because it will annoy them a lot. Greeks believed that name belongs to them...it's a crazy world we live in...
@@sakisgr1396 no one believe you anymore my dear greeks! Everyone know the truth ! Macedonia is one split between 3 countries. And one day will be' again ONE. We changed so many times our name because of you. BUT the last name for macedonia will be': UNITED MACEDONIA !
@@Makedon9 why not “the United Balkan Republics”? Everyone is struggling over their identity crises based in historical origins. I appreciate national pride, freedom and self esteem, but not derogation of one’s neighbors. We are all living TODAY, and need to forgive history. Humility breeds peace. Peace to all peoples!
@@davidjohnston710 I dont think the others countries will want the united balkans republic. Macedonia is the only democratic country that can do anything . Just look what our premier is doing! With the agreements with bulgaria , greece, albania. Alexander the Macedonian did the same thing! But not those who are around us ! They will never want this! They just want deny what we are ! Macedonia is the only country that recognise all the minorities. But macedonians as minorities in the neighboring countries are all denied! Look the censuses of albania bulgaria and greece !
For all of you planning a trip to Macedonia, make sure you visit a few of the dozens of beautiful beaches, namely: Slivnica, Dojran- my absolute favourite!, to name a few...
Loved it, thank you!!! The videos you made on Macedonia are by far some of the best I've ever seen; I watched them with my baba, and we both enjoyed them so much. I'm hoping to be able to visit by next spring or summer. 😊
There's more to Macedonia than this. Tourists haven't been to the rural places of Macedonia nor the places out of central Skopje to see the ACTUAL life here.
@@Dim-TV Northern Greece (Macedonia proper) is more or less the same, so what you see in the video you'll see something almost identical in the rest of Macedonia as well.
This is for those who are planing to go to my birth country, Macedonia, and i still live here! Anyways, MK has the best kind of places, for example: Matka, Kuklica, Heraklea, Kokino and much more!my favorite is Kuklica, its a village in the City of Kratovo, where my grandma lives, the stone dolls are actually obsidian. Before where the dolls made, it had a lake there. From the explosion of the volcano, it had made the dolls!
Illiterate slav!the name Heraclea is a Hellenic name which is derived from Herakles( Hercules ) which symbolizes the essence of Hellenism! Having no connection or relation to ypur slavobulgarian identity.

V A we will do whatever we want without your permission😤😤if you want you can travel to this fucking land where the lies, propaganda and irredentism rules.
Yugoslavian communist lies and propaganda of fabrications must always be confronted and destroyed.
The historical truth will always prevail.
MACEDONIA IS GRREECE!
Beautiful Macedonia my aunt and cousins live in Prilep!!! Love the mountains and good food❤❤❤
Hello 200 km from Skopje on the north ,. from Nis in Serbia ! :)
Loved your video and I could not agree with your video more! I have a wonderful Filevi Ohrid pearl necklace and earrings. If you ever visit again, I recommend touring Strumitsa and Gevgelija. There are plenty of places to hike, collect herbs for mountain tea, and enjoy all the wineries in this region.
Fine lakes,Macedonians can be proud.
4:35 I love Greek history 👍
Amazing video Alina, I'm so glad you enjoyed your time there 😍
Lovely video, the Macedonian food and wine looked great 😍
Thank you Alina for all the Great videos and information. Much Love, Be Safe. 🙏👍✌😎💙
The Balkans and Eastern Europe look inviting. Thanks for the good coverage as usual, Alina.
My pleasure!
Beautiful country.

Really beautiful video and editing! This is such an inspiring insight into this country and the foods ❤️ as a fitness coach I always look for new inspo to my client’s diet. New sub 🔔
I am from the town where the best wine and rakija is made, Kavadarci, Tikveš region. I think people generally have no idea about it and rarely anyone visits it, but it's an amazing place, and maybe the most developed town currently
OMG, good lady! I was riveted to this video!!! Such a good montage of beautiful and picturesque scenes in North Macedonia! I absolutely adored the music, and your narrative style - sort of reminded me of a Steves episode, but even better (sorry Rick!) because I could feel the emotion of adoration about these places in your voice! Gentle beautiful soul, thank you for helping to bring people to awareness of the things that make their home memorable and endearing. People need to see that they need and like the same things, are more alike than different, in so many ways - our common humanity.
I wish I could contribute on Patreon to help your cause and journeys - maybe when I find re-employment - soon, barring additional delays due to the pandemic. Those pearls were gorgeous, and quality, for sure - they compliment your beauty. Merry Christmas, health and happiness! The best and most priceless gift one can receive is love. Wishing you the best!
It’s all good, thanks for your support David!
Lived there 20 yrs ago, what a brilliant country, great food and lovely people. Missing my visits back there with this bloody pandemic.

Sold! I added 2 nights in Skopje and 4 in Bitola, including a daytrip to Ohrid lake, for this year's 6 months trip to Italy and the Balkans.
Hope you have a great time!

I've been trying to take a trip to Europe for 10 years and will finally have the opportunity once Covid restrictions make it feasible. It looks like North Macedonia would be possible even now. Croatia also appears to be reasonably visitable now too (for Americans I mean). I'm looking for an interesting experience in a country without too many covid restrictions (I don't want a bunch of curfews, mask requirements, and so on). Between North Macedonia and Croatia. anyone have a preference or suggestions-- or even another option? I'm just looking to get a break from the grind of everyday life and see a European country for the first time- to experience a new culture, new foods, sights, and so on. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
You are one of my favourite TH-camrs. Above all you are a sincere pure person. I’m really sorry to make this remark, but The country’s name is Vardaska or North Macedonia thanks to the traitors of Hellas. The agreement that gave the name North Macedonia is illegal and Cancelled. The cradle of The Macedonian Dynasty, was Argos Orestikon in Pella Hellas. In Antiquity this land was called Paionia and was part of Alexander’s conquests. In the this reasoning Bulgaria or Afghanistan could claim the name as well. I love all my Balkan brothers and I live to see them in Unison. However historical facts are crystal clear. On behalf of the suppressed, betrayed, crippled minority of the Hellenic tribe, I humbly urge you to consider adding NORTH to the title of the video. You passed Makedonia on your way to Bulgaria. Thank you and excuse my intervention.
Most people are ignorant in Toronto that Macedonia is actually Greek and north Macedonia is this new former Yugoslav nation good luck trying to educate them
Don't turn this beautiful vlog into your own political view enough is enough Macedonia is and always will belong to the beautiful people of Macedonia keep your personal interests to yourself no one cares for hellenic propaganda people are smarter then that smile and be happy your provocation is to no use
It seems you did not read anything of the above. I spoke of History not politics frankly. Indeed as you stated as long as there are educated people this name will refer to it’s true origin, The Hellenic civilisation. Beyond this point you will not get another response since you didn’t even noticed I was generous enough to ask Alina just to add North. Which is ludicrous already since Makedonia is one and it’s north region is at the borders of Bulgaria and Skopje.
@@sasmarks1936 God damn greek trolls in every video concerning Macedonia...
@@dejanstoimenovski2350 ye it hurts a lot of neighbours because it's a small country but so beautiful for some reason they've always wanted to take from the Macedonian people
Are there any daily buses from Montenegro to Skopje? Planning to visit North Macedonia.
Hey bro, I think there are buses available, and if there is an option try going to Ohrid and Berovo, the nature is excellent there. Love to Crna Gora from Macedonia, we love your country as Macedonians!

That footage though... Holy moly! I'm convinced.
Happy to hear it!
Wow, thanks for coming in my home country . I am glad you liked it! Be careful in your travels during Covid!!!

I am definitely interested in Ottoman empire as I was born NW of Bosnia grew up in Croatia 🇭🇷 moved to USA and my grandma was Ottoman my dad 👨 was Bosnian I am definitely planning on coming to Makednija been to Montenegro and loved it but Makedonija has been on my list thank you so much for this video. 😊 ❤
Quite a coincidence that we visited all the places in BG and Macedonia from my home in Troyan Bulgaria in the last year or so, my personal favourite was Bitola, we also did Croatia which is stunning but a little bit expensive compared, you just missed a few fantastic wineries in BG, you could easily do a whole other series on Bulgaria..........Great vids
Yes, sadly didn't get to a winery in Bulgaria so will definitely have to come back sometime!
North Macedonia**
Oh i must add, the Ohrid pearls and original family run business is simply breath taking & contains very high quality/grade jewellery. So very beautiful and feminine. I have always loved pearls & enjoy those special occasions, when i can get dolled up & wear my beloved pearls. They're a real show stopper! The Macedonian people are so beautiful, both inside & out. I just love Macedonia & the Macedonian people. x

Glad you enjoyed your stay! 😎✌️

We can tell from your name '-ski !you are a skopian of Slavic origin MACEDONIAN NOTHING!
Haha, you are as much as Macedonian as my grandma is an astronaut! Don't talk crap. Your ancestors are Bulgarians.
Hi Alina! Thanks for sharing your top-10 list of ‘must-go-to / must-see’ places in North Macedonia! I very much enjoyed your informed content and anecdotes, as well as your captivating film footage. I am more and more impressed with your film editing skills. Also, thanks for your kind words in your last livestream! Be happy, safe, and healthy, Alina!!!
Thank you for all your support, Gediminas!
Visited in 2017 .... Brilliant place !! ......
Thank you because of you I see also the place that mention in the bible that pablo also travel for 7 churches in his journey during his day of sharing the gospel of God I am very thankful and grateful also that beautiful place now a day God bless you alway's in to your next journey
But that was in Macedonia Greece! Not in former Yugoslavian West Bulgarian speaking lands North of Macedonia….
The pearls looked so nice that I just ordered a set for my wife.
I’m so happy to hear it and I hope she will love them! I bought a ring for my Mom as well because you just can’t get this kind of quality for a quarter of the price in Canada.
Good man!🎄
Excellent video very professionally made and you are a relaxed and expert presenter..thanks for the good information!
Hi !Alina Soooo beautiful lake surrounding with hills, and also all of Macedonia .
The entire Balkan is very beautifully the best coffee, best food & best dessert! ❤
Excellent recap of North Macedonia, Alina! I enjoyed and was in awe of every video you did while you were there. My favorite has to be the lake and town on the shore. I could see that if I was there for a month, I still would not experience everything they offered there. Great presentation, and I'll put this one at the title page of the album I keep of places we want to for sure visit soon as we can. Cheers!!!
Thanks, Michael! I hope you love it there!
Beautiful place and nice video o quick recommendations...thnq...
And the presenter is beautiful too...
Definitely the best choice of places to see in Macedonia. Wonderful video Alina, you show and capture the places in the best possible way 👍😉
Thank you!
Amazing video! I have a question if you could reply I was wondering. Do they ask for any documents when you entered Macedonia and other balkan countries as uk/usa/eucitizen like bank statement/return/onward ticket insurance etc? I am UK citizen , travelling west balkan countries in 2 weeks. Appreciate your assistance in advance.
was there in 2015, a great trip. BTW, if you can pronounce the "C" with a "K" sound for its country name, the locals will love you for it...One word of caution, don't tell your Greek friends about your trip because it will annoy them a lot. Greeks believed that name belongs to them...it's a crazy world we live in...
That's because Macedonia is Greek & not an artificially made up Bulgarian former Yugoslav country that wants to steal Greek names for identity
@@sakisgr1396 no one believe you anymore my dear greeks! Everyone know the truth ! Macedonia is one split between 3 countries. And one day will be' again ONE. We changed so many times our name because of you.
BUT the last name for macedonia will be':
UNITED MACEDONIA !
@@Makedon9 why not “the United Balkan Republics”? Everyone is struggling over their identity crises based in historical origins. I appreciate national pride, freedom and self esteem, but not derogation of one’s neighbors. We are all living TODAY, and need to forgive history. Humility breeds peace. Peace to all peoples!
@@davidjohnston710
I dont think the others countries will want the united balkans republic.
Macedonia is the only democratic country that can do anything . Just look what our premier is doing! With the agreements with bulgaria , greece, albania.
Alexander the Macedonian did the same thing! But not those who are around us ! They will never want this! They just want deny what we are !
Macedonia is the only country that recognise all the minorities.
But macedonians as minorities in the neighboring countries are all denied! Look the censuses of albania bulgaria and greece !

For all of you planning a trip to Macedonia, make sure you visit a few of the dozens of beautiful beaches, namely: Slivnica, Dojran- my absolute favourite!, to name a few...
Veles is also really pretty and really nearby to Skopje(30 mins)
Fyrom you mean
Well now it’s North Macedonia
The truth is different.the history is different of what you think.so whatever you say you cannot change the history
You should visit shar planina and east,city and ramstore mall's which are located in skopje.
Loved it, thank you!!! The videos you made on Macedonia are by far some of the best I've ever seen; I watched them with my baba, and we both enjoyed them so much. I'm hoping to be able to visit by next spring or summer. 😊
Aww thank you! I'm very happy to hear that :)
Alina, hats off to you. I must say, you really do this video thing in a superb way!!

There's more to Macedonia than this. Tourists haven't been to the rural places of Macedonia nor the places out of central Skopje to see the ACTUAL life here.

Anyways, MK has the best kind of places, for example: Matka, Kuklica, Heraklea, Kokino and much more!my favorite is Kuklica, its a village in the City of Kratovo, where my grandma lives, the stone dolls are actually obsidian. Before where the dolls made, it had a lake there. From the explosion of the volcano, it had made the dolls!
Illiterate slav!the name Heraclea is a Hellenic name which is derived from Herakles( Hercules ) which symbolizes the essence of Hellenism!
