Bosnia: Neum + Mostar
Looking for a Balkan getaway? Our Labor Day weekend in Bosnia and Herzegovina took us to Neum’s small but stunning riviera and the historic city of Mostar. From crystal-clear beaches and seafood feasts to the iconic Stari Most bridge and day trips to waterfalls and monasteries, this trip was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. In this post, I’m sharing honest hotel reviews, travel logistics (border crossing, e-sims, cash tips), and our favorite must-do experiences so you can plan your own unforgettable Bosnia getaway.
Packing for Europe: 4 Day Weekends
After nearly three years of travel across 24 countries, we've perfected our packing and travel routine. We prefer checked luggage for convenience, especially with a toddler, and rely on packing cubes, a toiletry bag, and essential travel items to stay organized. We also have a few go-to toddler travel hacks, like using a lightweight carseat and stroller. Simple airport tips and strategies, such as color-coded passports and PriorityPass for lounges, also help make our trips run smoothly.

The Dingle Peninsula is now one of our favorite places we have traveled to in all of Europe.
