Why You Need to Visit Bosnia & Herzegovina // Van Life Europe Ep. 11

This is why you have to come to Bosnia and Herzegovina! We explored Sarajevo, Mostar, beautiful waterfalls and more! This is one of Europe's hidden gems and I'm so glad that we visited. We tried Bosnian food, stayed with a local and swam in magical waterfalls. Most importantly, we learned about the history and heard from locals about what living in Bosnia and Herzegovina is like.

I really enjoyed my time in Bosnia, very unique country, thanks in large part to our amazing tour guide Vekas from Bosnian Tours. He customized the tour to suit our interests, and his dedication ensured that we fully experienced the country and our trip, which is really rare for guides in Bosnia. We visited approximately 15 different places in just a few days. If you are planning your next trip I would highly recommend everyone to visit Bosnia.

Sarejavo is one of the best places I’ve visited. The hospitality of the locals was really humbling, they are beautiful people.

As a Bosnian I have to say this is probably the best foreign video I've seen when it comes to Bosnian tourism. Five stars 🤩 💙💛

Bosnia is just Spectacular!!! Thanks for sharing!! I remember Bosnians that came to our neighborhood when I was 11ish. They had pet pigeons. We had Bosnian food with them and shared our BBQ with them. Humble kind people. I grew up in SLC, Utah. Many Bosnians were sent there. ❤ I would DEFINITELY get in that beautiful water!!!!

Such a beautiful and so underrated country! BiH is now definitely on my list.

My mother is from Bosnia, and during the war, she and her whole family fled by boat from Bosnia to Croatia, so I heard about the war all my childhood. Mom wrote diaries like Anna Frank and those diaries are full of memories, longings for her country, friends, school ... Very sad and very shocking. She was just a child. The whole village and the house in which they lived were destroyed, but every year she and her brothers return to visit the house and at least on that one day remember their childhood. I am currently a student and doing 2 summer jobs to surprise my mother with a trip to Bosnia and to taste these wonderful dishes. I really enjoyed the vlog and can’t wait to visit Bosnia. Much love to you guys.

I am Romanian and I've been to Bosnia and Herzegovina and I felt at home too. I loved it there

[nonac]

I love bosnia, I hitchhiked and Couch surfed all over the balkans and ended up falling in love in bosnia. I stayed for a month with locals. This video brings back nice memories :)

The mountains, waterfalls, turquoise waters...everything is so magical

[battocchio]

That Museum is so extremely sad. I shed more tears there than many other places I have ever visited combined.

Thank you for visiting and promoting Bosnia & Herzegovina. Greetings from Mostar :D

Loved this video, shows just how unique and underrated Bosnia and Herzegovina! One of my favourite places I’ve travelled to in Europe 💙💛

[RoamingwithJasmina]

I’m from Bosnia originally live in the USA, loved watching this. We just spent the summer in Bosnia and the rest of the Balkan countries. Thanks for the awesome representation ❤️

[CounterIntelCS]

Glad to see the guide being proud of Sarajevos multiethnicity, every real Bosnian is proud of that.

This makes me miss home so much. I’ll hopefully be visiting again soon. And yes, not many people want to talk about the war. I lived in Bosnia during that war and lost family, friends and our home. I never realized how much the war affected me until recently when I went to therapy. Mental health is unfortunately still a bit taboo in our culture but it’s so important for those that have been affected by war. There’s a long way to go with rebuilding of that region but I’m hoping with the younger generations, we can spread hope and love. Thank you guys for showing Bosnia. ❤️

Just visited Sarajevo and then drove to Mostar … wow the scenery just blew me away … and I’m from Scotland !
It really was like something out of a fairy tale

Raya is fab at pronunciation of different languages, Louis reminds me of Harry Potter when he says Diagon Alley wrong🤣

[thewellgirl]

You two are truly inspiring, I love how down to earth you are and humble! Love going on the journey with you both!!

I backpacked around Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2016 and also did a walking tour. The guy who took it was 7 years old during the war which was a great perspective on how it was back then. I'm back living in New Zealand now so it's nice to relive this through you guys!
