The Balkans
We spent two weeks exploring the Balkans, where we split time across Montenegro, Albania, and Croatia. Rich in history, the Balkan people have maintained their cultures and identities over time, enduring multiple wars, attacks, and rulers. Although they are “young” countries in terms of when their current governments were established, the customs and traditions date back centuries… resulting in a unique culture, interesting architecture, and many new foods to try! We loved exploring and learning about the Balkans, a region we knew little about prior to arriving. Click on the link below to read more about our time in the Balkans!
