Armenia
I spent a few weeks traveling in Armenia.
I only spent a week in Armenia in the end. But as of now (8/7/2025) there’s no need for a visa for stays under 180 days if you are a US citizen. However, entry into Azerbaijan could prove difficult after visiting Armenia.
Armenian people are unique, warm, and welcoming. There’s wonderful views in the country. It certainly merits a stop over when you’re in the region.

While there is a variety of ways to avoid additional fees while traveling - I have personally found the Charles Schwab Investor Checking to be one of the easiest and most straightforward accounts to utilize on the road.
