Travora
/ Bosnia & Herzegovina
Where East meets West, among minarets, bell towers and the famous bridge of Mostar.
Bosnia & Herzegovina is a Balkan country shaped by its history and cultural mix, where Ottoman mosques sit beside churches and synagogues. For a Cameroonian traveler it is an affordable, authentic and moving destination, with mountainous nature and Turkish-style coffee everywhere.
