On my trip to Dubrovnik, my hostel required payment in cash. Although I always have euros on me, I definitely didn’t have enough for four nights. This meant finding fee-free ATMs in Croatia to withdraw over 150 euros. I also needed cash for the buses as most of the public transport was cash only. The…
When I first visited the Balkans, I based myself in Sofia and explored nearby North Macedonia and Serbia. I really wanted to visit Kosovo, but the bus times from Skopje just didn’t work for me. So when I booked flights to Albania, I was excited to plan a visit. I settled on a day trip…
