“It was interesting and strange to arrive somewhere where Czech is spoken after such a long walk. But I immediately felt at home. Those people are warm and look at me like Czechs. It felt like I was going somewhere in a more remote Czech village before 50 years or something. People live there like in the days of our grandmothers, they take cows to graze in the morning, they have to feed the hens, take care of the building. When you are there as a tourist, you don’t mess with the things around. To live there must be really challenging, “Nicolette described her visit to the Banat site Our REGION.
The girl’s journey did not go without complications – they were mainly medical. In Serbia, Nicolette even ended up in hospital, where she was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. Her father then transported her to the Czech Republic. However, Nicolette did not give up her trip and after a short break she decided to return to Serbia and continue on her way.
Now Nicolette plans to go back to the Czech Republic. He intends to use his favorite hitchhiking this time.
