For many people, travelling across Europe to see the sights and experience the different cultures is definitely a bucket list activity not to be missed. However, unless you’re unemployed or you have very deep pockets, visiting every single country in Europe in one trip is a near impossible task, especially if you want to take your drone along with you.
