One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One week trip across the balcan countries in the summer 2014. We went with the bus from Budapest to Satajevo, Mostar, Dubrovnik, Ulcinj, Durres, Tirana, Ohrid, Skopje, Belgrade.

The trip was pretty short, we spent just couple of hours in some cities, but I felt in love with traveling as a result of this trip.
