We left the Croatian coast and rode to Mostar, Bosnia, then from Mostar to Dubrovnik on the Ćiro Trail. The Ćiro Trail follows the route of a discontinued narrow-gauge railway through rugged mountains and past abandoned railway stations. After riding the Ćiro Trail, we took some time off in Dubrovnik, which was a wonderful place to explore for an extended period of time.

    We’re Andrew and Jenny. We sold all our stuff, built our bicycles, and headed out on an around the world bicycle tour in May of 2021. We started our European tour in Paris, and we’re currently in the Balkans.

    1. You guys are awesome. I know you must have some hard days. But keep it up. I got to explore Europe in the early 80's in the army and never got back. Your content is very appealing to me. I hope more people see it and appreciate it, as I do.

    2. I Love how real your videos are. Of course I'm trying to talk the wife into following your foot steps. and I don't think these videos are helping.

    3. Very entertaining, thanks for your efforts. As a "grad(PhD) student" myself, I am curious about how you have managed to combine studying and full time touring

    4. Beautiful landscapes. But I must disappoint you and say that you have not seen the slightest part of the Bosnian beauties. I invite you to visit the Bosnian mountains in the interior, Bjelasnica, Vlasic and others. See you on the trail.
