Montenegro: The Most Unique Country You've NEVER Visited 🇲🇪

After arriving in Montenegro, we hopped in our car from Takecars.com (https://takecars.com/en/montenegro/?ref=ryan - they did not sponsor us but we loved our experience) and went on a loosely planned road trip that took us to Budva, Kotor and Perast in this part.

One of the first things we noticed about Montenegro was that even during the shoulder period, it was more crowded than we expected. We still loved it, but it didn't feel as undiscovered as other Youtubers promised.
How could this place that is deemed as the "hidden gem of Europe" in so many other videos be not so hidden?! 
Here are our honest takes of the first part of our trip to Montenegro!
