Train-Type Person and Long-Postponed Dream

croatian coast: My grandma family emigrated from Macedonia to Turkey toward the end of 19th century, as they fled the tensions that eventually led up to World War I. She and my mom proposed an itinerary that began in Greece and went through Macedonia, up to the Croatian coast, moving on to Serbia and back, according to Global Times China. I realized I had a solid chance to realize a long-postponed dream. When I embarked on my latest trip into the Balkans, through eight countries of eastern Europe, it indeed was a historical pilgrimage to explore my own roots. Views of Croatia and Albania Bus trips are never my favorite mode of travel; I've always been a train-type person, but in the Balkans driving on four wheels is the only feasible option. Our first stop was "the neighbor," as we call it in Turkey: Greece. Hence, we joined a group of around 40 others who had similar aspirations and departed for a weeklong journey of almost 4,000 km.
