Journey Around the Balkans: A Round-up
Posted on 20. May, 2010 by Steph in Destinations, Europe
Over the past six months or so, I have been slowly chronicling my journey through the Western Balkans. Now that I’ve completed my slowly building PR campaign, I thought I would do a round up of the many Balkans related posts I’ve written:
5 Reasons to Visit the Balkans Now
Bosnia:
The Forgotten City of Sarajevo
Herzegovina: The Flip Side of Bosnia
Montenegro:
Serbia:
Slovenia:
Ljubljana: The Cutest European Capital you can’t Pronounce
Croatia:
Lessons From A Croatian Party Boat
Plitvice National Park: The Land Before Time
Wow, grouped together like that it’s a lot of posts dedicated to this tiny region. I really loved my time there, so much so that I’ve resolved to return to the region during my trip next year.

Excellent resource Steph – what a collection of photos and advice!
Perhaps you should consider a static site with Balkans specific info …..

That’s not a bad idea Matt! Particularly after I go back for a second helping next spring.

for some reason i have always been more enthralled with the balkan area of europe than the north/northwestern europe countries. i have this image of beauty and culture in my head, and this post has managed to spark that interest in my mind once again. thanks for this great post!

It’s definitely an area that has peaked my interest and it’s only grown with time.

I think it’s funny that every spoiled kid with the luxury of traveling the world off mommy and daddy’s money after college has to have a blog and fancies themselves unique in doing so. I yawn as a stumble through this blog in hopes that a return to uniquely creative experiences and writing is around the corner.

You obviously didn’t read too deeply or you would know that this is not the case. Feel free to stumble along elsewhere…

It’s relative, sure, but honestly ask yourself if you truly do not have advantages a lot of people don’t. Do you currently pay student loan payments or did your parents/family take care of that? Or were you one of the lucky few who managed a completely full scholarship (living expenses included)? Are you completely self-sufficient or does your family give you a leg up on small things that can add up to the equivalent of a plane ticket over time? You might be sick of someone assuming you’re rich, but I’m sick of privileged people who try to act like they are one paycheck away from welfare.

I actually do pay student loan payments monthly and cover every last bit of my travel expenses myself (I’ve been saving for my latest trip for two years). I also have a supportive family and for that I know I’m lucky- and I’ve never claimed to be anything else.
I try to offer a lot of simple hints and suggestions for saving and traveling on a budget because that is the way I travel personally. I’m not sure why spending my own money the way I see fit is offensive to you, but hey, I’m not forcing you to read along.
