My Travelogue: The Balkan Express — Part 1

<p>Departure from Berlin Central Station on a Friday morning in February 2023, with minimal luggage and a cloth bag of supplies for the following eleven-hour train journey to Budapest. There was no precise plan where to go after that, just towards the Balkans and the sea.</p> <p>My luggage was light because I no longer had a job or an apartment&hellip;</p> <p>In my quest for professional and personal fulfilment, the colourful hustle and bustle of the city was often a pleasure and a distraction: music, dance and a stream of different people. But I increasingly missed the quality, the lasting feelings of happiness in Berlin&rsquo;s musical and cultural landscape.</p> <p>Of course it still exists, the serious, beautiful art and culture of Berlin, but it is dying out and with it my attachment to my home town.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@john_anne/my-travelogue-the-balkan-express-part-1-794ff07fe2e8"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
