Hey there! Greetings from Budva, Montenegro! Day 2 here and I’m already feeling like a local (well, maybe a slightly lost one). The clear sky and 20°C weather have me in a great mood, soaking up the sun and exploring this charming town. I’ve been savoring the local cuisine (seriously, seafood here is on another level) and trying to blend in with my broken attempt at speaking Montenegrin (thank goodness for Google Translate). The laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals make me feel right at home. Yesterday, I stumbled upon a hidden gem of a café with the best coffee I’ve ever had. Who knew Montenegro had such a thriving coffee scene? Can’t wait to see what other surprises this place has in store for me today. Stay tuned for more adventures!
