    Since I was young it was common to see lots of abandoned pets since the war in 1999 around serbia. It is amazing and heartwarming to see people reclaiming and helping these beautiful creatures of ours. If you get the chance you should check out the wild horses near my town kraljebo, they are horses set free after being war horses along time ago

      Ah, that makes sense that its happened after the war 😢 It's a common sight across Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria too. It's really amazing to see the work that Vucjak shelter are doing though, gives us faith in humanity! Oh we've left that region now, but would have LOVED to see the wild horses! 😍

What you are doing is fantastic. You can't rescue every dog that is in need, but you have shown the way and made an amazing individual impact. I hope this encourages others to ADOPT, DON'T BUY.

    Amazing to see a Beaver!
    When our boys were in their teens they were all tall and we often shopped at a well known budget range Gents Outfitters.
    One time I saw a T shirt in the sale with the logo, "Save a tree, eat beaver", bought the T shirt.
    Each boy wore it in turn as the other grew out of it (summers only Scotland).
    Only recently did I find out what that logo actually alluded to . . . the boys, who are now 27, 30 & 33, seem unharmed by their parent's naivety 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you guys know what a front wheel dig is. I can't remember if you have 4 wheel drive. If you have, hand brake full on, full lock, and let the front wheels drag you front around sideways!! Great for tight turns on gravel. We'll be in that area in two weeks time, cruising the Blue(brown) Danube. Top class episode, as usual.

    There are many places to visit in Serbia if you know what you are looking for, it's not extremely touristy so inform yourself well before visit. In eastern Serbia, Stara planina is absolutely amazing, wild nature, mountain rivers, waterfalls...there are also large lavender and immortelle fields which are worth a visit in summer, Rtanj mountain also in the east, bunch of spa towns as you travel toward central Serbia. The western Serbia is perhaps the most touristy, has gorgeous mountains like Tara, Zlatar, Zlatibor and the Drina river. If you plan a visit I'd recommend late spring or early summer, it's very green and beautiful, late in the summer can be pretty hot.

    • @OverlandingSophia
      @OverlandingSophia  2 роки тому +1

    Once your wanderlust is over, and it comes time to settle down, opening an animal sanctuary may well be your forte in life.
