We are going to travel across Macedonia, starting in Skopje and heading south, exploring the traces of Yugoslavia and the complex identity of the post-communist Balkans. On this journey we will travel to the abandoned Hotel Evropa — once a proud symbol of post-communist Macedonia and the ambitions of a country emerging from the shadow of Yugoslavia. Today, the hotel stands silent, its empty corridors telling stories of hope, change, and decline. From there, we travel past Lake Prespa and Lake Ohrid, and into ethnic Albanian regions of Macedonia, near the border with Albania, meeting locals and sharing the multi-layered history of this corner of the Balkans since the breakup of Yugoslavia. The Balkans, it’s never simple, but it's always an adventure. ► Subscribe to our 2nd channel! https://www.youtube.com/mattandjuliavlogs ► We use Holafly E-sim's when travelling - Get a unique discount with the code MATTANDJULIA - https://holafly.sjv.io/yqRMAy ► Learn Russian with us: https://www.mattandjulia.co.uk/shop ► Our Travel Guides: https://www.mattandjulia.co.uk/shop ► Join us on a Group Tour: https://www.humankindexpeditions.com/ ► Support our channel: https://patreon.com/mattandjulia ► Follow us on instagram - https://www.instagram.com/matt.and.julia Contact us: ► For sponsorship opportunities: [email protected] ► For any other business enquires: [email protected] #Yugoslavia #Balkans #Macedonia #easterneurope #travel #travelvlog
