Hi everyone, I had a busy week this week so no new video this weekend, but next weekend I'll be posting the LAST video from my Bosnian road trip with Belmin, to a (mostly) abandoned town near Banja Luka, which had over 3,000 people a few decades ago and today has less than 50. Pozdrav!

Hi everyone, just got back from yet another epic Balkan adventure in 🇧🇦, 🇭🇷, and even 🇲🇪 again. And I have plenty of content to share! 8, 10, maybe even 12 videos will be coming your way soon, and I'll get them to you as quickly as I can.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip in the meantime.
Pozdrav!

Hi everybody, hope you’re doing well. Sorry for no videos lately, my laptop got stolen recently while traveling through Austria so I haven’t been able to edit 😭
But no worries, in the meantime I’ve filmed several videos and I’ll have a new laptop very soon.
For now, here’s a new video from the Old Town of Sarajevo at 5am while I had the city all to myself! Enjoy and see you again soon!

Hi everyone!
Does anyone know a neighborhood or village in or near Istanbul where there's a significant community that speaks Bosnian/Serbian? I have a free day in Istanbul coming up and I'm hoping to go meet some speakers of the language in Turkey and make a vlog around it. Ideally somewhere in the red circle I made on the map.
I know many people came from the western Balkans to Turkey during the 19th-20th centuries and apparently there are many communities where the Bosnian/Serbian language (not to mention Albanian) is still spoken today. Most of the places I've heard about are near Bursa and Ankara and I don't think I'll have time to make it that far. I appreciate any help in the comments :)

I have made it back home from my latest balkan adventure in North Macedonia & Serbia, meaning I've now been to every former Yugoslav country! I should have 5-6 videos in total from my travels. (I already posted the first one yesterday, check it out https://youtu.be/KQQQP_7-0Qo?si=FFZOJ... !)
Videos still to come are
- a North Macedonian village where EVERYONE speaks 3 languages (🇧🇦/🇷🇸, 🇦🇱, 🇲🇰)
- Getting rejected from entering a country at the border
- exploring Serbia's mysterious, muslim-majority Sandžak region
- Attempting to enter a Bosnian enclave in Serbia
& more!
Enjoy! Podzrav!
