Kosovo is not a country. Kosovo is Serbia.
Anytime I feel down I watch this video, brilliant. Makes u want to go ride.
Hi Jenny. Do you mind if I asked how you researched your route finding for this trip – what mapping tools did you use? Thank you, Steve
Bravo Jenny! Wonderful video and epic riding/touring. You missed Greece though. š Come down when you can and explore our country…you'll love it. I bicycled toured mainland Greece back in the summer of 1983…bring low gears and be ready to experience the awesome hospitality of the Greeks. Keep exploring and safe riding!
I can't wait to experience this kind of adventures, I was thinking to travel solo I feels so scary because I don'tknow how and where to start
