Two Months on the Road: For the Love of the Balkans

October 5, 2016

Today officially marks the end of our two month road trip adventure. We have driven 3,790 miles across 7 countries, slept in 26 different Airbnbs, and have drank approximately 1.5 billion local beers. When we planned this trip, I genuinely thought that there was a chance we would be burnt out at the two month mark, and would be feeling ready to come home after moving around non-stop. I most likely would have been intimidated to see those numbers (except maybe the beer one).

Instead, I feel like we are just getting started. I know we have the Balkans to thank for that. Driving through these countries reminded me just how much beauty this world has to offer, and that I want to see as much of it it while I can.

Using the perfect excuse (once again) to avoid trying to write a wrap up post, here’s a video that will do a better job:

 

 

 

PS – We made a video to highlight our first month traveling through Slovenia and Croatia, and in case you missed it, you can see it here. I’ve also added a tab to my homepage that puts all of our travel videos in one easy to find spot. Hopefully we’ll keep adding to the collection!

    SO awesome you guys! My heart was pounding throughout that whole video. I’m really proud of everything you’ve accomplished in these past 2 months!

    Ps – 26 different Airbnbs in two months has to be some kind of world Airbnb Record! Not to mention your collective beer intake.

      With all our airbnb’s combined this year, we should probably be spokespeople for them.

      It really was so amazing! It’s so hard to pick a favorite but I’d probably have to say Slovenia’s Laško!

    First of all: The numbers on your trip are so insane. Second of all: Where are you going next?
