Walking from Amsterdam to Sarajevo

Published on: 23rd November, 2017

On the 24th of March 2017, Eva left Amsterdam to hike for a while. "Walking back to the Balkans". Why? Because she can, because she likes hiking. Because it's slow, because it's a perfect way to really see a country. To feel and experience. Because she feels good, being "on the road". And because she thought it would be a good idea to (re)discover her own country, before heading off to the Balkans.
