It Took Me 3 Weeks, 5500km And 11 Countries To Discover Balkans During The Lifetime Journey

ADVERTISEMENT

There’s certain magic about discovering the world. Magic in sipping the coffee at the sea coast and enjoying every minute of the travel, knowing that there’s absolutely no need to hurry anywhere. And that’s exactly what I like. To cut off from the world full of tasks, deadlines; to spare a minute to just sit in the silence, look at the surrounding mountains and say: what a wonderful world.

That was the main reason why me and my boyfriend even thought about such a long summer road-trip. Our main goal was keeping it low budget – sleeping in the tent, sleeping in the car, using hostels, cooking by ourselves with fresh, local ingredients, and exploring empty, divine beaches and amazing cities.

After 11 countries we have crossed, 5500km we have spent in the car and 3 weeks of the travel, I couldn’t feel happier about what we’ve achieved.

Here’s a photo-gallery of my favorite pictures. I hope you will enjoy.

    Curvy Romanian road Transfăgărășan is well known from Top-Gear tv-show where it was called “the best road to drive on”

    Transfăgărășan is truly unique and settled in Carpathian Mountains of Romania

    In Tirana, the capital of Albania, the city centre looked a little bit Russian

    …but the outside of Tirana showed slightly different view of war that took place in the 90’s

    My favorite views were always the ones on the coast. Here – Croatia!

    And our sleeping possibility in the car. It was really comfortable

    And Croatian beaches were made of rocks

    Not forgetting of cooking. We prefer healthy dishes that we cooked by ourselves

    While driving there I felt like I was in the movie

    Clear sea was waiting to me in the morning. Shower time!

    Amazing waterfalls, Plitvička jezera

    I loved finding “exotic” fruits just growing on the trees

    And of course I made myself a handpainted travel mug!

    There was always a time for a small snack-break

    …and for a kiss, of course!

    I could stay there forever!
