That’s it, Balkans! Pretty much one month after arriving in Budapest, I left from Thessaloniki today. It’s been a great trip with many interesting experiences, lots of great people and countless sights and places. If I were to do it again, I’d give myself more time though. Four weeks for 6-7 countries is too much of a rush. It is because of that, that I’m a little exhausted at the moment.

Two days in Skopje. Bit of a mixed experience but bottomline was good. Took the 6:00 bus to Thessaloniki today. Border took 30 minutes, cars would have taken a bit longer. In other news: I’ve been in touch with a Palestinian aid organisation and if things go as planned, I’ll spend October and November in Hebron, teaching conversational English to young Palestinians.
