Travel-size-it-yourself means you can carry on in luxury.
Just before my first Balkan meal, which contained more meat than I could have ever imagined.
My first ćevapčići experience. In the Balkans, grandmothers eat this for breakfast.
We are all in awe of the beauty of this dish.

Cows in the road.

There were many butterflies in Piazza Unirii.
The nth wedding we saw that day.
I am so big.
