A nice little time capsule into travel into this region circa 2009. I enjoyed getting to "travel" via a book as it's something I have missed during the pandemic.

It was intended for people traveling "on a budget", so hostels and private room arrangements are heavily featured. I enjoyed looking up interesting locations to see if they were still in business in 2023; some actually still were!

The book inexplicably skips most of the Balkan nations that comprised the former Yugoslavia and features Moldova and Belarus only as "access points".

No mention of Belarus in this book.
