We Thought We Knew Europe—Until We Visited the Balkans

Ep.179 Most people never picture this part of Europe. Once hidden behind the Iron Curtain and shaped by the breakup of Yugoslavia, these five countries—Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania—are rewriting what it means to travel the continent. We share what surprised us most about life here: the warmth of strangers, the layers of history still visible in the streets, and the kind of beauty you can’t capture on postcards. From bunkers and bridges to seaside towns and mountain fortresses, this is the side of Europe few travelers talk about… and the one that changed how we see it forever. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!Support the show
