The Norwegian that Returned to Bosnia.
Description
In this episode David recounts the story of Helge Kristensen, a Norwegian who first visited Bosnia and Herzegovina seven years ago for its affordable skiing on Jahorina Mountain.
Initially drawn by curiosity and the economic appeal, Helge was captivated by the locale's unique charm and warm people.
Years later, true to his word, he returns not for skiing but for hiking through Bosnia's rugged landscapes with Ćejf Reisen, a local travel agency.
Helge's journey highlights the country's unspoiled nature, hospitable locals, and the lasting impressions Bosnia leaves on its visitors.
David hopes Helge's experience will inspire others to explore this often-overlooked gem.
