I really didn’t know what to expect from Sarajevo. I was apprehensive about visiting, knowing very little about the city aside from the siege of the 90′s that I vaguely remember from my childhood.

In some respects it feels like I’ve only been away for a few days, but in others it feels like I’ve been doing this for years. Backpacking for the last month has been a big change for me.
