After several years of waiting and two failed attempts, I finally managed it: I reached the Balkans. Over the course of two weeks, I backpacked across Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia with two friends.
I have a lot to write about after the trip, but while I put metaphorical pen to paper, here are a couple of my favourite shots which show the highlights of the fortnight.
