When we started doing research for expanding to The Balkans & The Caucasus, The Blonde Gypsy blog quickly become our favorites. Larissa writes lovingly, and with a lot of humour, about the region she has traveled to extensively.

What we like, is that she visits and covers mostly the less knows countries (and less known regions in those countries) like Kosovo & Macedonia. Before

Some of the many articles that inspired us

• Wiki Loves Monuments & Cultural Heritage in Kosovo
• 15 Places to Visit in North Macedonia That Are Not Skopje or Ohrid
• Durres & Betar – Albania’s Historical Gems

We understand Larissa has moved back to California, but we hope she will keep up the job promoting this wonderful region!
