Have you heard of Ohrid, the ‘Pearl of the Balkans’? The city in northern Macedonia is well worth a visit – and who better to introduce you to it than a local?

Macedonia is a beautiful country. Seding greetings to Macedonia from Chicago, Illinois.
Germans will destroy this place very soon. They’ve already turned Mallorca, Croatia and Greece into soulless, unexciting pensioners houses. Ohrid was the last beautiful place they did not killed.
Well, not anymore i see.
