19 | What is it like CYCLING in KOSOVO? | KOSOVO series: Ep.3 | JFtR

What did I see, and what did I learn? I also had a new adventure with 3 new companions in the last part of this journey.

I cycled from Prishtina to the West and then East (28/07 – 16/08).
20 days. 350 km. Four cities. One family.
This is the 3rd video of 6 of my Kosovo Series.

Ep.1: PRISHTINA: many things to see, many things to learn
Ep.2: MITROVICA from my eyes, a divided city
Ep.3: What did I learn while cycling in Kosovo?
Ep.4: I am the only Asian face in Peja
Ep.5: Prizren, the most Turkish city in Kosovo
Ep.6: My biggest lessons. Memories with my family from Kosovo

Stay tuned.
