Day 8! One of my favorites of the trip. I get to visit Matt and Rowan Hellyer, 2 old friends from around 30 years ago. Matt and I played in a band together, him on bass and me on the drums. In this episode we get to do a little jam in his studio, like the good old days! To say my playing is rusty is a bit of an understatement, but it was a. lot of fun.
Matt and Rowan moved to Bosnia 15 years ago and have been doing some good things for their town and elsewhere in the country. They are very talented musicians and Matt has become a bit of a sought after producer. You can take a look at their channel ‪@WeDoAdventure‬ to see what they are up to. They have a strap line which is "Pioneering youth work in Bosnia and Hertzegovina" and that's what they have been doing for 15 years!
Matt has always been someone I've really respected for his commitment to doing good things whether they are recognised and rewarded or not - I like that a lot. Meeting them again was one of the highlights of the trip.
I moved on from Jajce and down through the beautiful country of Bosnia. I crossed the border into Montenegro where I came across an accident on the way down towards my camping spot. Bit of a wake up call. Please be aware that there is some footage towards the end of the video which shows that. It has all been blurred out so no detail can be seen, however it's important you know it's there.
I ended up wild camping in an empty scout campsite which was a bit eerie, there were loads of international flags everywhere in what felt like an abandoned camping area.
Hope you enjoy the episode.
