Elephants might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Zenica, but certain things cannot be ignored forever.

The stunning Blagaj Tekija is where my Bosnia and Herzegovina began, although I’m not sure if my memory can be trusted. Can memory ever be trusted?

The Arslanagić Bridge in Trebinje is another stone beauty, but yeah, you are never more than 10 metres away from a…

There are many Ćiros, but only one Ćiro. A day in Banovići spent embracing 5 year old John (hand up), with trains and excitement and trains.

Some ideas are fantastic until you actually put them into action. The story of Novi Travnik, a lion’s head, and a very long walk. Yes, I know Tron isn't in Novi Travnik.

When the sun burns, head to the mountains. A day in Blidinje, although could the nature park live up to incredible expectations? Spoiler, no, but it was still pretty awesome.

Learning a language is hard, but then so is most of life. Bosnian? It took me 13 years to start learning Bosnian. As with everything, it was too late.

Doboj’s fortress stands proud above the city, but what was life like for Ottoman soldiers here in the long ago? Don’t ask me, I’m just a writer.

The Stari Most might be the most marvellous, but there are plenty of other bridges in Mostar. Very important bridges, in their own ways..

I have never been in Pelagićevo, but I will never forget how I felt when going through it. Love does funny things to a man.

The bears, they will get me. A day spent in Una National Park, chasing waterfalls and hiding from the inevitability of a bear-induced demise.

Another morning on the rails, travelling from Konjic to Hadžići via religion, South Park and more.

Gračanica is famous for a leaning clock tower, but what is it that makes this Gračanica different to all the other Gračanicas?

Dog person? You’ll love Travnik. Just don’t get too close…

I spent the day in Živinice, and my imaginary wife was not happy about it.

The dilapidated shell of a house is all that remains of Bijeljina’s Romeo and Juliet. Sounds about right.

What is love? No, not the 1993 Haddaway classic, but the word that we all use way too often. Are the answers in Kladanj? No spoilers.

Forbidden love in Banja Luka, complete with dramatic declarations and cannons. Safikada, here’s to you.

Dragons and the rain don’t mix, although there was still plenty of burninating to do on this wet morning in Gradačac. Zmaj od Bosne (not a real zmaj), this is for you.

Sex, coffee and cigarettes. Just another morning in Travnik’s most famous cafe.
