Echoes of Laibach in Slovenia
Slovenia isn’t the kind of place that screams for your attention. It sits quietly, a nation-sized smirk, carved out of mountains and shadowed history. Today I find myself in the capital city Ljubljana.
Zany days in Zagreb
Zagreb feels like a city of contradictions. Austro-Hungarian bones dressed up in socialist concrete. Young students sipping expensive espresso in leafy avenues. If cities had poker faces, Zagreb would clean the table.
The dark days of Sarajevo
Sarajevo isn’t just a dot on the map. It’s a scar that never quite healed, a city with a haunted stare, war stories and a deeper sense of what it means to survive.
Into Mostar
Mostar hits me like a leftover war dream. Sun-bleached stones, bullet-pocked facades and the uneasy silence of a place still trying to remember how to forget.
The walls of Dubrovnik
There’s something about old stones. The ones that have soaked up blood, sweat, saltwater and centuries of bad decisions. The walls of Dubrovnik are made of those kinds of stones.
Good morning Montenegro
Most people can’t even find Montenegro on a map. It’s wedged between Croatia’s Dalmatian swagger and Albania’s defiant edges, trying to find an identity of its own.
The cobblestones of Maidan Nezalezhnosti
About one year ago, I walked across the wet cobblestones of Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the central square of Kiev, Ukraine. The Independence Square is a traditional place for political protests, including the infamous Orange Revolution in 2004.
Sunsets at the Adriatic Sea
There’s something suspicious about a perfect sunset. The Adriatic, that long stretch of salt and myth that hugs the Balkans like an old lover, has more than its fair share.
The end of Europe
They call it the edge of the world, where the European continent exhales its final breath into the Atlantic. Back in the days when maps had dragons and the margins whispered of oblivion, Cabo da Roca was the last known point before nothingness.
Sweet days in Lisbon
It’s currently a scorching 30 degrees in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. We’ve been trying to escape the heat by all means necessary.
