You’re BRUTAL, Prishtina (and I mean that in the You’re BRUTAL, Prishtina (and I mean that in the best possible way). Last time I came for a temporary visit I ended up staying for two years - this time I came for three days MAX and it’s been nearly two weeks. Just one of those places…thank god I’m finally remembering why. ⠀⠀ ⠀

Get used to me, njeri. Can’t stop, won’t stop coming back to you for more 🇽🇰💛 ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

Unless you watch my Instagram stories, you probably wouldn’t know that last month I  spent almost a week in Lebanon, my first adventure to the Middle East 🌍 ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

After coming in with a bang to Beirut, I hit up insanely impressive Baalbek, drank wine & arak in Ksara’s moldy (but magnificent) cave cellar in the Beqaa Valley and lunched on lamb balls just a nard’s throw away from the border of Syria. Was hungover AF in Jounieh, Jeita and Byblos, spent some relaxing nights sipping on lemonade by the sea in Batroun and day tripped to TRIPoli, Lebanon’s second largest city. Went to pay my respects to the Cedars of God near Bsharri and partied like a rockstar in the mountains at Faraiya with some magical new friends ✨ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀
I did A LOT considering nothing was planned before I arrived and somehow everything worked out (except that hangover) perfectly. I truly left feeling like I have a family there and as I’ve been watching this whole #LebanonRevolution unfold on the news, my heart has been full & my support 1000% there with you in spirit. Only you guys would turn it into a dance party 💛 ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

Will be posting a few more stories from the trip, more pics to come...and YALLA check my highlights to see what you’ve already missed if you’re curious about what I am certain is one of the raddest countries in this part of the world 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧 ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

There are some things you don't question in life a There are some things you don't question in life and Brutalist taste in monuments is one of them. Yet another Yugoslav gem added to the list...of places I'd love to throw a party. 🇲🇰 #makedonium #krusevo #krushevo #macedonia #balkans #travel #BGmacedonia
