8 Reasons to Visit Belgrade
Belgrade has quickly become one of our favorite European cities. Belgrade is not as visually stunning as other European capitals, but with so many gorgeous parks, lively cafes and friendly people you’ll want for nothing.
Following the Drina River to Visegrad
Somewhere along the way the road pulled away from the river and we came to a one lane road that served as the border checkpoint. A few stamps later we wound our way back up to the road above the river and watched it widen as we made our way to Foča.
A Roadtrip through Serbia
We wanted to share pictures from the road (many of them are taken from the moving car) to help you get a sense of the dramatic and varied sights and scenery we experienced in the of course of our relatively short drive.

Przno feels like a completely different world as it’s situated on a beautiful beach on the Adriatic. The extreme differences in landscape between Przno and the Bay of Kotor is indicative of Montenegro on a whole which continues to surprise and excite us with its many extremes.
Cycling Around The World
As proof that as the world gets bigger it also gets smaller, it just so happened that Julian was in the process of riding through snowy Montenegrin mountains at the exact time that we were living 20 miles away on the coast. So he visited us in Przno, a small cove south of Budva, and we had the great pleasure of his company for a week.
A Visit From My Sister
My sister Mariah recently visited us in Kotor for six fun-filled days. She flew from San Diego to London to Serbia to Montenegro – just a hop, skip and a jump really.
