Balkans Tour A trip through the Balkans. LIVE!

Balkans Tour’s Genesis

I can remember exactly when i first thought of this “Balkans Tour“, though it’s almost 2 years ago, now. It was september 2008, and i was in Macedonia for a lovely trip. I spent 10 days there, essentially in Skopje, the capital of Macedonia. But few times i went to Veles to meet a friend. And it was while i was driving back to Skopje from Veles, one evening, that i thought “I’m loving it. I should do it again. I should do it better. I should do it longer! I should drive through the whole Balkans!“. Since then, this intention (maybe it’s better to call it “dream” ) never left my mind…

Soon, i started wondering which places i’d have to visit. So, i took a map and began to place pins on every place i’d liked to visit. Soon, i realized the map had so many pins on it, it would have took more than a month to visit them all. But you know, it’s not easy to have a month free for a trip (not talking about the money needed for it ). This is essentially why it took almost 2 years before actually starting the tour. Only, it will be a bit different from what i was planning in the beginning.

In fact, instead of waiting for the day i’ll be able to be around on a tour through the whole Balkans, i finally decided to make it in stages. It’s definitely easier to plan (and make) a trip of one week or so. And it’s only a detail i’ll have to make many trips in the Balkans

So, soon i’ll make the first trip. Not sure yet when, but it may be even by the end of june! Destinations for this first trip are: Zagreb, Belgrade and Sarajevo.
