Today I went full tourist on Istanbul. I didn’t really have much of a plan for the day, so after seeing the underground Basilica Cistern I went to Taksim square to see if anything was happening. After arriving and realising nothing of the protest type was going on I went to grab a bite to eat, and…

So on the official website for the Turkish Border control it says that you need to pay the visa entry fee in the currency of your residence in the EU (so British pay in Pounds, Germany in Euros etc.). Well FYI, that info is totally wrong. Luckily I had just enough Euros to make the…

Somehow I neglected to realise I had crossed a time zone when entering Bulgaria which meant that I almost missed the walking tour and didn’t have time to book my ticket beforehand as planned. The free walking tour was awesome (as has been every other free walking tour in Europe). But afterwards I had to…

This is my couchsurfing host Darko on the set for his next short film. He graciously put shooting on hold for a couple of days to host me, hang out, show me around Nis and drink Beer and/or Rakija every night. We didn’t get home until the wee hours again so today only had time to…

Ahh, finally couch surfing in Nis after some frustrating months of constantly denied requests. Im staying with Darko who is a Serbian Film maker. Today we went and checked out the Skull tower which is a tower made of skulls if you didn’t already guess. Over the years people have been stealing the skulls and…

This is a long post but I’m on a bus with not much else to do, if you stick around I will tell you a tale about exploring abandoned military bases, blood, Savage wolves and high speed chases. I got a bus to Novi Sad which is a smaller city about 1.5 hours from Belgrade…

So I just wrote an awesome post about the cool churches I went to today, but then in my stupid drunken stupidity somehow deleted the post. One church was covered in an amazing Mosaic and voted the best in Europe by many people, and another with Chandeliers made from Bullets, swords and artillery shells. After…

Wow, Belgrade is amazing! After a tonne of rakija, some live traditional serbian folk music in tiny smokey bars, a floating barge/club and stumbling back to my hostel with some serbian locals last night I unsurprisingly slept pretty late today. I dealt with my hangover as best I could with a huge Serbian lunch and…

So long Sarajevo! After 8 hours on the night bus David and I arrived in Belgrade, Serbia at the stupid hour of 5am. He parted ways to Romania and I went and did the free walking tour to wait for my checkin. Next came nap time, followed by a sunset and beer at the Belgrade Fortress,…

So, after a night on the Shisha David and I got a late start to the day. We had heard about some “Ancient Bosnian Pyramids” an hour out of Sarajevo in a town called Vosoko and decided to check them out and decide what they were for ourselves. Some self proclaimed Archaeologist dude from the…
