I did one night in Sarajevo, one in Mostar, and one more in Sarajevo before the alternative Ferragosto with interesting acquaintances in Serbia. To get to Mostar by bus, the route is very pleasant, through mountains and forests, often following the course of more than blue rivers. Mostar is undoubtedly beautiful, although the alleys around…

I had long had a trip to Laos and Cambodia on my list. In fact, they were two countries I had sampled on a trip to Thailand in 2015. In Laos, I had even been just 30 minutes, just long enough to check out a little market during a tour that landed us in the…

Adnan and Fabio in April ’92 were almost 19: one became a veteran of the Sarajevo siege, the other did not. In August 2025 I took an 8-day trip solo and using public transportation to Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia. Also because of the travel I did 3 nights in Bosnia and 5 in Serbia, in hindsight…

Getting lost in the closed shopping center happened to me right at the conclusion of an otherwise very uneventful trip. My favorite city in Croatia is undoubtedly Split, the one that told me nothing about Rijeka. Two unpleasant events happened to me in both, but perhaps the one in Split was worse. Fine in Split…

The tobacconist, the cheapskate, the quarrelsome, the souvenir hunter, the selfie-taker, and the one who walks around with dirty underwear in his hand: here is a roundup of anecdotes taken from different trips. Above all,…

For the last part of the trip I kept my first naturist camping experience. From the mainland on the Island of Krk you arrive by an extraordinary bridge. I won’t tell you about the succession of spectacular landscapes. While the town of the same name, (like the others) is a typical seaside village that you…

Eating in Bolivia is another activity for which some care must be taken. That said, while the suburbs are rather dire and run-down, the centers of the main cities I won’t say clean, but they are certainly tidy. Here, with more traffic, the exhaust fumes can be felt, and in highland cities, like La Paz,…

Once I put my feet and car on the ground, the trip to Croatia became itinerant; on my mymaps the itinerary. Croatia trip begins from Dubrovnik In Dubrovnik I first headed by car to Mt. Srg, 5 minutes by cable car cost 27 euros; the view is worth it, and there is also an interesting…

Encounters during the tour, on a trip, can sometimes prove to be decisive in making sense of the trip itself. This did not happen to me in Bolivia, where I generally did not make many acquaintances, and in any case not in depth. Part of the reason for this is that already Bolivia is not…

To make only one trip to the Balkans would be reductive. The region is very large and with really different territories. But because of that, it is interesting to be able to do different countries in the same trip. From the placid Slovenian valleys where it feels like Switzerland, to the Turkish markets of Bosnia…
