I spent almost two months traveling through the Balkans. In order, I went through:
- Moldova
- Romania
- Bulgaria
- Serbia
- Kosovo
- North Macedonia
- Albania
- Montenegro
- Croatia
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Serbia again
I had already been to Greece and Slovenia, so I skipped them this trip.
This is too many countries for me to write a “Notes On” post for each of them (I started trying with Moldova, but stopped), so I combined it all into one big Balkans post. Given the many generalizations I make about a wide swath of people and countries, take my observations as sort-of-kidding-sort-of-serious, and generally more facetious than usual.
