Bosnia & Herzegovina: Sarajevo - Konjic - Mostar
This is a bit of an unusual destination, but we recently travelled to the Balkans to Bosnia & Herzegovina. This was after a wild transit detour taking up an entire day from Kuala Lumpur to Doha to Istanbul before finally making it to Sarajevo due to flight departure delays in KLIA.
Bosnia's a beautiful and scenic but once war-torn country, having seen both the beginning of World War I as well as, more recently, the Bosnian War in the early 90's which broke up former Yugoslavia. As a result, many buildings particularly along the north bank of the Miljacka River running through Sarajevo remain scarred with bullet holes from small arms fire, while numerous areas are marked for still active landmines far outside the cities.
If you're interested in travelling to Europe without the weight of the Euro bearing down on our wallets, this is a fantastic destination that's rich in history and culture - with plenty of heart. With about half its population being Muslim, halal food will be an easy find for Muslim travellers.

Bosnia was more amazing than I anticipated and after spending a little over a week in the country, I fell in love. From right off of the Croatian ferry in Ploce, my hitchhiking journey in Bosnia officially began. My driver wanted to stop in Medugorje so why not join. It's a small village where 6 children had claimed to see an apparition of the Virgin Mary. What was a small town is now a big tourist attraction and religious site.
After getting dropped off in Mostar I roamed around the city famous for it's Ottoman Bridge, Stari Most. Originally built 400 years, it was destroyed in 1993, But fortunately rebuilt in 2004 looking just as beautiful as the original. Mostar saw much destruction during the war which in some places, can be seen today. But most of the city has been rebuilt bringing tourists from all over the world. Additional places to see in the area, is Blagaj Tekke, an old Dervish monastery sitting besides a spring and within a mountain side as well as a fortress above of the same name with amazing views of the valley and mountains.
Hitchhiking north brought me through the
gorgeous Dinaric mountains. I stopped in the small town of Jablanica to see a bridge destroyed in WW2 by the Yugoslav partisan led by Tito that helped deter attacks from the Axis powers. My next stop was an overnight stay on Jablanica lake in one of my favorite Airbnb's to date in camper turned bedroom with a small kitchen. Here I had a rowboat to use with the lake all to myself, listening to good music on my phone and taking it all in.
From here, I hitched a ride to Konjic, a small town with more locals than tourists, a beautiful Ottoman bridge and an awesome host who took me into his home offering a local homemade drink. My final city was Bosnia's capital, Sarajevo.
Sarajevo saw it's share of dark days during the Bosnian War, with sniper fire and mortar shelling killing many people. I stopped at the Markale Market where twice, mortar shells killed and injured many people. As well as one of many cemeteries where I lost my emotions due to all of the tombstones that stand. But the city has progressed as a modern city with a beautiful city center with many cafes, a bazaar, commercial city center, and lots of tourism. I also managed to stand in the very spot where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated igniting WW1.
To wrap up my time in Bosnia, I made it priority to go up to several viewpoints in the hills and mountains. Yellow Bastion and the historic now abandoned White Fortress overlooking the city and beyond. The best views are from Trebević where you can walk up the abandoned luge track from the 1984 Winter Olympics up to the view over the whole city.
After an incredible voyage in Bosnia, I returned to Croatia for the third and final time to Dubrovnik. :)
