I feel that this name isn't the best pick, but it's just my opinion. Try with something that your region is recognized with.

That name is too vague. It could be the name of anything from a porn site or a kids video game site.

How about.

Discoverbosnia.com
thebeautyofbosina.com
Beautifulbosnia.com
Traveltobosina.com
explorebosnia.com
visitbosina.com

etc, etc, etc...

Thanks

I see that i haven't been clear enough.
Problem is that I want to expand later to whole region and maybe more. So i ment to be bosnia.unknownadventure.com ... croatia.Unknownadventure.com ... serbia.unknownadventure.com ...

If I choose name like outdoorbosnia or whatever similar there is chance that someone will buy domain for some country where I want to expand.

So I ment to make unknownadventure.com a central site and the first site will be: bosnia.unknownadventure.com

Is that OK?

Thanks

It's OK, you want to create unknownadventure as a brand. That could work and it is memberable. A lot will depend on how you are going to get traffic to your site because as has been commented above, it is not immediately obvious what you are promoting.

If you are looking to get ranked high and quickly then you would be better with one of the more descriptive names that have been suggested above.

How are you intending to get your traffic?

Keyword-rich domains have little to no effect these days, due to Google changing things spam-wise. The emphasis is on brand.

  I did not think about traffic and promoting, yet . This will not be website where we lure traffic and then sell arrangements and banners.
  
  We are trying to build platform for local tourism. I'll try to explain best I can. We have a lot of untouched nature, places for adventure and extreme sports but because of lack of entrepreneurial spirit in people near it those things won't be on internet in next 10 years You can find some on internet but it is less than 90% and by my opinion the most beautiful places for adventure in region are still unknown to anyone else but to local people.
  Maybe they will do it if someone comes to do everything for them and for free
  That it is the mentality of Balcan region People here just don't see it.
  There are here and there some lonely enthusiast but you cannot do things like that alone so we are trying with that platform to make it possible.
  
  So we are going to make magic and organize people
  Also we would make trip planning both on website and mobile app.
  
  For now we are struggling about the name. I already bought domain UNKNOWNADVENTURE.COM which sound great to me but I have second thoughts, first because it was avaiable for buying(why is domain that sounds so good still avaiable?) and second because one of my friends which is now in USA said that name is maybe more for porn industry(and I dont get it, why).
  
  So if you could help me to make a decision.
  
  Thanks

Or create a domain for each of the areas, without it being a subdomain.

discover(placename).com

You can have an umbrella site for it also, europeancrossroads.com, or some such.

Thanks

Squallp,

First you create the domain, ie BeautifulBosnia.com, then you can create subdomains, such as Croatia.beautifulbosnia.com OR you can create a separate directory, ie BeautifulBosnia.com/Croatia/ OR both.

This is done via your hosting account's cPanel (or whatever they're using). Need help? Just ask.

As for Unknownadventure.com, I think you should choose something else, as most people would be dissuaded by an "unknown adventure".

Thanks

Personally I wouldn't create a subdomain for each country, If I wanted a website about each country I would just create a website about each country.

For what you want to do I would just, make every country a different category on the same site.

unknownadventure.com/bosnia

maybe

ShouldIvisit.com/bosnia
comediscover.com/bosnia
learnandexplore.com/bosnia

unknownadventure could mean first timers in various sexual niches.
Some domains are available due to people just not thinking of them, it happens.

Building a show piece site for your area won't be hard to do, and promoting via the social nets isn't hard.

You just need to apply yourself and get going.

A hint would be to research other travel/location sites to see what they are doing and see what you can mimic or improve to make it work for you.

Thanks

It's always best to have the name of the destination in a tourism domain. Good tourism domains are difficult to come by though. So sometimes it's best to just get creative and make it work.

I have an idea for an available domain with Bosnia in it. Check your PM inbox.

Thanks

AdventurersAnonymous.com?

It flows.

It also plays off the fact that Bosnia, as you said, is "anonymous" in the "adventurer" world.

Might be just too similar to AA, as in "Alcoholics Anonymous", or, who knows, the relation may be a good thing...I don't know....

or....how about "TouristAnonymous.com"...

With that approach, you could essentially develop a "character" or persona....a mysterious silhouette with a question mark on the face. A sense of mystery has always led to an element of curiosity. People tend to relate to, well, people, as well....so, this may work.

You may have to think about it a little more and/or refine the idea, if you choose to go in that direction.
