Lorna and her boyfriend, Mark Newbold, a musician and song writer from Birmingham, UK, have quit their jobs to travel around Europe in a motorhome. They spent a few days travelling around Serbia (5th – 11th July 2010), and Lorna just put up a blog post talking about their Serbian adventures. They had preconceptions of Serbs being mean and grizzly, but found Serbian people to be the friendliest and most hospitable people in Europe:
This little journey showed us just how lovely and helpful the Serbian people were. In total we asked around six or seven people directions that day, the first country where we’ve actually had to ask because we were totally lost! Everyone we asked was friendly and helpful. In fact, in hindsight, I think the Serbian people are one of the most friendly and happiest nation of people we have travelled through. Don’t believe what people have written. We had preconceptions of Serbians being mean and grizzly from what we had read from people’s blogs. This is total rubbish, having spent time in a few countries now I see the French, and Italians as far more moody and rude than any of the Serbians we met!
