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.

It s crazy, 1500 years of seperation and you could still hold a basic conversation between russian and jugoslavian, SlavicConnection.

You’ve got a knack for telling the history of the countries you visit. very well done, I wish you all the success you deserve.

Bosnian Muslim people are sweet and hospitable, I like them and always will. It’s too bad they were involved in the war. This was a fabulous video. Thank you and bless you.

One of the things that struck me when visiting Sarajevo was how welcoming and positive the people were, after all that the city and its inhabitants had gone through. That thought brought back the sadness about the war that I hadn't felt in such intensity since I was as a child and those events were ongoing, some 30 years ago. On a different trip through Bosnia, in another town, a friend of mine asked a local who was fighting whom in that area. His (completely serious) reply was: "Here? Well, in this part, Serbs fought Croats and Muslims, Croats fought Serbs and Muslims and Muslims fought Serbs, Croats and Muslims." (!!!) It drives home how crazy the war was, and how it wasn't what any of the ordinary people wanted. Unfortunately, the war "wounds" mean that nowadays, the peoples of BiH, in a large degree, actually resent one another, which wasn't the case before the war. This state is maintained by the political elites, because ethnic tensions, presented as the matter of survival (which is helped by the memory of the war) work great as a distraction from poor economy and widespread corruption. Still, the people all over Bosnia and Herzegovina remain genuinely kind and that gives hope.

For me it is 31:34 Omer saying: "Ja, ja" understanding nothing he is being asked. Pure Bosnian stuff :))

You have quickly become my very favourite channel on all of youtube. Your videos are extremely interesting to watch and I learn quite a lot of things from them that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Thank you for making them! :D

Ivan, ich erwarte dich sobald es dir möglich ist, dann machen wir eine viel längere Reise durch Bosnien und du kannst eine Dokumentation daraus machen! Sehr gutes Video 👏 Vielen Dank mein Freund 🤠

Dude just walks up and chills with the older couple having coffee outside. That is just so rad to see!

Sarajevo remains the #1 on my travel bucket list, thanks for giving me a great preview of the area!

30:50 Nas dobri narod i gostoprimstvo ❤

What a high quality content this was again. I really enjoyed this video. Mixing with the locals, letting them tell their stories. This was one for the list of your best!

Thanks for the historical content of where you were visiting. Your content is awesome!

Your videos are absolutely brilliant. Very interesting to learn about different countries whilst also having original visual content to scan at.

Balkans in general are such a beautiful place.

Shiey and Gifgas's tours of this country were my first exposure to it. I love how different your video is. What a beautiful place.

Your English gets better in every new video. Proud of you and enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.

Very nice video! I always look forward to your videos and the history lessons and talks with local people that you include.

Enjoying the video so far, hope that you're doing well and thanks for the upload!

Thanks for sharing really enjoyed; three lessons I noticed: 1. Kindness and sencerity in the interactions with the locals, who otherwise went thru the horror of war. 2. War's two faces, that of the Generals/Commanders in the palaces and the soldiers/common people in the trenches. 3. Western contribution to the "destruction" of Yugoslavia, not just bombs, indeed rotten canned food.

While containing less train hopping than in prior episodes, I really enjoyed your video. Especially the last part with der Deutsche mann and that part of the country. Bravo.

i am from BiH , and i must say you are good at understanding our language

Another very good journey, showing some history, different sites with there stories. The people there are happy despite the recent war that took place there.

dude appreciate this video. Great narration and research. Thank you

I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much. You are having a great adventure meeting lovely warm people on your travels. Very interesting and insightful.

Love the video! Big fan of the longer videos!

I'm from Venezuela, and Diego Arria was our ambassador at the UN. He kept warning about the conflict and danger of muslims being killed there... He made a book about the utter failure of the UN.

Thank you for Posting this :)

Bro Your Video's Are So Informative ❤

i didnt know you spoke German as well!? amazing! thank you for this first rate video. educational and entertaining. здоровье!

Love your stuff, vaga bond!

I really love your channel.

Your videos are great yo. Most informative and a look at something I will never see in my lifetime.

Great job, thanks for showing us a new perspective on the complexities of B&H!

Обожаю такой контент, побольше бы таких видео и общения с местными людьми)

Lovely people and absolutely fascinating ..thanks -from Ireland.

awesome video...nice work, sir!

Loved your video.

Love your interactions with locals and their different cultures

Love the backstory you present with each video.

Hi Ivan, I absolutely love your adventures, very inspiring and genuine. Watching it helps me get beyond my comfort zone a live more freely :) Good luck and stay safe, Jana from Svk :)

Great video! Really showed the actual Bosnia, I was very excited and surprised when you jumped out of the train at Zavidovici it's a town I spent a lot of time in during a couple summers when I was a kid. I'm Dutch but my father worked a lot in that town managing a factory. It was a humbling experience as a western kid to visit remote Bosnia, the signs of war still all around you, bullet holes, landmines, a nation wanting to rebuild but stopped in its tracks by a corrupt government. The people are very kind and open, their food I didn't like so much but some bread with cevapcici drenched in sour cream was always amazing. If you ever find yourself in Zavidovici it's worth checking out the forest of spheres, it's a rare natural phenomena

Du sprichst auch Deutsch 👍😎 Schönes Video wie immer! Grüße aus Ungarn 🇭🇺

Thank you for taking us along to this very insightful trip. Generally, I would like if you show the food of the places you visit, don't know if that's your thing but for me it's very interesting too. I'll have to visit some time too. Keep up the great videos and all the best

As a person from Mostar i always loved noticing locations i have been,like Španski Trg (The spanish square) Stari Grad (old town) and of course Stari Most (Old Bridge), I also love how you included Gimnazija (The orange building near spanish square) and Musala,i laughed a few times,and your mentions of the war truly seemed respectful and purely educational,truly a great video!

Hello from Čapljina, love the vids! 31:00 He said "kerovi" which is a slang for dogs. 32:38 The guy from there moved away.

That was a really nice experience to watch, especially the exchange with the local folks including the German-speaking dude (who had quite an accent, sounded a bit Swiss). Great work, keep it up :)

Your work is superb. Really enjoy it. Anytime you come to Brazil give me a shout!

Outstanding scenery, improvising, and communicating. This is on a whole other level.

Thank you. There are so little videos out there showing and exploring bosnia or serbia.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video! Such a beautiful country. Make love not war!!

43:33 this is why I always visit Bosnia and Herzegovina in the summer (long-term subscriber who is coincidentally watching this whilst on a bus from Podgorica to Sarajevo)! 😮😊👍

What a beautiful country... such a brutally tragic history.

You’re subscribers jumped past 100K while I wasn’t looking. Congratulations!🎉

love the vids

Another great video!

Thanks for sharing, hope you good

Well done! Real reporting. Always wanted to hop a freight train. Keep on traveling and reporting!

Amazing place, Thank you Ivan !

You should show what you eat on your adventures, im interested in that. Great videos брат.

One of your best videos

You should visit Jajce middle age Bosnian castle and Bjelašnica is one mountain to visit more. And how he speaks with his Slavic people I love how you both still understand eachothers.

Nice video as always

Nice video ! 😊 Come to Bosnia again in summer time, then it is more beautiful ! 😊❤

Great video, wish you could come again during summer. It will definitely be more lively :)

It's a huge shame about the train hopping issue with KZfaq. I love falling sleep to your videos and those past knock me out so fast.

I love these conversations with the locals

5:41 to explain this, there was a jewish man named zoran mandlbaum that would help many people in mostar during the war in the 90s, he would help them cross the neretva by falsifying their documents to appear as jewish, so either side would let them pass the israel flag next to the herceg-bosna flag is a sign of gratitude towards zoran

Хорошо чтобы смотреть тебе путешествовать по разных страных, я пробавю учиться русский язык поэтому понимаю как трудно выть учить англлйски из русского языка. Отличный видео, мне много нравится!!

from all the places i have visited in my life, mostar is the one i would like to go back most. loved this incredible country and its people when i managed to spend there some time. the last part of the video presents my life in romania when i am there:) btw do you happen to know the titles of any of the three or four films your friend mentions ?

Very nice Serbocroatian-Russian xD Und auch gutes Deutsch! xD Schönes Video, hvala

I was there in September. Sarajevo and Mostar. Loved it. Going in winter seems strange

Also Shiey was in Mostar in the last videos

Боснийцы очень рады вашему душевному видео ❤

Another excellent film!

I am very jealous of your ability to communicate in many different languages.

your vids are dope, geiles Brot von gestern

this vlog makes me want to travle to Bosnia Herzegovina!

I love me some Vagabond

Greatings from Zavidovici 👋

Hi, How many languages can you speak? I enjoy your vlogs.

As a turkish guy never i have been in bosnia but this video impressed me a lot about bosnia

love ya videos bro would love to link up!!

Your English has improved so much, impressive.

Man I'm impressed by your language skills 😂 English, German, Croatian, Russian...

From Russia with Respect bro ! You have a good blog. Thanks

12:56 is basically where franz ferdinand was murdered which started world war one... cheers from sarajevo

proper video ❤

From your "most unusual" standard, Bosnians are the most european Muslims ever in Europe. They have never been a part of any muslim agenda in the world. Kind people and their food is very very tasty. Heaven on earth. They just want you to leave them alone in peace. This Catholic, Croatian and Serb thing is just trouble if you understand the last balkans war in the 90's.

Nice videos.. I really like them, are all Travis in Europe electric? I'm curious

37:06 just a note that "Sein Opa und mein Opa waren Brüder" is him talking about their grandfathers being brothers, not their fathers

Thanks for sharing hello from USA

I hope ypu have a good time in my beatiful country Bosnia and Herzegovina.We are friendly and we are happy to see somebody from another contry coming to visit are country.

Amazing!

Great video nice to hear the German language I could understand him.

Beautiful foggy morning!

I am pretty sure one of those bridges by an intersection you showed was were Franz Ferdinand was shot by Princip.

I was there nearly all of 1997, Brcko, Camp McGovern, great people despite the issues while I was there. Stayed in Sarajevo, the old stadium at the time, was a multinational camp. How has that faired over time? I know there was a new stadium being built across the street from the old.

Beautiful country, very nice people..

You missed the Serbian church in Mostar that was rebuilt after being destroyed during the war.
