With less than two days into our road trip across Montenegro, Bosnia, and Croatia we were cruising through the stunning landscape of the Tara Canyon with our rented Clio hatchback and when we heard a loud thump. The loud thud was of a size mid-sized piece of a boulder landing on the roof of our…
Blagaj Tekke, a Sufi Monastery in Bosnia and Herzegovina was a site that I was so happy to experience thanks to Deny, the owner of the hostel we stayed in while in Mostar who brought us here. The Dervish House on the Buna River is absolutely picturesque. It sits beside a cliff with a spring…
