Sarajevo, Bosnia is easily one my favorite places in all of Europe. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind town and we were lucky enough to stay at a guesthouse up in the enchanting hills surrounding Sarajevo when we were there. We made it a point to spend our afternoons watching the sun set over Sarajevo listening to …

We actually spent a few weeks in Budapest, Hungary, lowlighted by a disastrous stint volunteering in a hostel in exchange for room and board. In between the chaos of that fiasco, we managed to have a pretty good time and trekked up a hill one day to get this picture of the Danube River and …
