EUROQUEST SideTracks: Impressions of Croatia & Montenegro

INTRODUCTION

Culture-conscious travel is no easy undertaking. It always means to some extent losing one's own sense of Self in another language and culture only to try to reemerge with a new understanding of the world and our place within it.
And yes, sometimes we go around in full circles before we return - transformed - to where we originally started out from.

After being asked time and again to write down tour anecdotes and insights on the nature of displacement, travel and Other as Self, I decided to launch this alternative space as the ideal forum to pin down some of those impressions related to travel, culture and our role within them.
