People say I’m fun and adventurous. I like to think so too :) I enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Hiking, volunteering at a dogs shelter and dancing (at least trying to) are the things that feed my soul.
Merjem
I'm 23 years old. I love to meet new people around the world, and to meet new culture and tradition. In my spare time I paint but also I do digital art. In creating my art it helps me a lot to meet new country, city, people, culture, tradicion, food... I'm currently studying and don't have much time to travel. I live alone and I have a spare room that I'm ready to give to a guest, the guest can also use the kitchen, toilet and balcony. I'm often busy and don't have enough time for socializing, but I always find time for a hot coffee or tea.

Solo travel experience
Bosnia & Herzegovina is one of my favourite countries. The people, the scenery and the food is amazing. The history is really interesting too. I loved Mostar and the surrounding areas - Kravice Falls is beautiful. Sarajevo is a really interesting city too - with the scars of such a recent war still very visible.
Local experience
In Sarajevo you can see most in a few days. Suggest doing a Funky Tour to get a good overview of the Balkan war and Sarajevo siege. Lots of great restaurants in town - Klopa and Dveri are my favorites. Ride the cable car up to Trebevic and walk around a bit there. In town hang out in Bascarsija and explore the small streets, visit some of the museums.
Itinerary: 2 days in Mostar Safety: I didn't travel at night or wander alone after dark too much but I always felt safe. Recommendations: Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the most beautiful countries in Balkans.
Things to do: - Stroll around the Old Town - Try the Turkish coffee - Visit the Baščaršija market - Walk along the Miljacka river - Visit the City Hall - Visit the Sarajevo War Tunnel - Visit the Yellow Fortress Safety: I generally felt safe as a woman travelling alone. Recommendations: Sarajevo is probably my favorite city in the whole world. It's cheap, affordable and has an amazing history.
Things to do: - Explore the Old Town - Admire the Sebilj fountain - Take a free walking tour - Visit the Latin Bridge - Visit the Sarajevo City Hall - Visit the Sacred Heart Cathedral Safety: Felt safe but try to stick to more central points as a rule of thumb, to be extra safe. Recommendations: Sarajevo is a great city to visit, especially if you're interested in history.
Things to do: - Baščaršija - Sarajevo Tunnel - Sarajevo City Hall - Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque - Latin Bridge - Yellow Bastion - Sebilj - Bjelašnica - Sacred Heart Cathedral Safety: I felt perfectly safe.
