Summary

The Amateur Traveler talks to intrepid “20 something” traveler Stephanie Yoder about the country that she thinks is the most beautiful in the world – Bosnia. In an area that was well known for first the winter Olympics and then a devastating war Stephanie found Roman ruins, medieval cities and beautiful mountains. She found a country that has recovered (or at least is recovering) from war and is ready to receive visitors again. Bosnia has deep Ottoman roots in its faith, architecture and its food. Visit Dervish monasteries, hidden tunnels, and the beautiful city of Sarajevo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good
0:08.6	in my passport photo.
0:11.6	Amateur Traveler episode 262. Today the amateur traveler talks about ruins

0:50.4	runways to reflect the shift in the Earth's magnetic North Pole.
0:56.7	I don't know why it affected Tampa more than anybody else, but that was the story I heard. And then the second one is a good news, bad news story.
1:05.0	First, the bad news, there was a person who was an ethnic Turk who tried to hijack a plane to turkeys claiming to have a bomb.
1:12.0	The good news is that he was
1:15.3	overpowered by passengers on the plane. The rather puzzling news is he was
1:19.4	trying to hijack the plane to Norway. He was on a plane from Norway. I might suggest that next time he doesn't
1:27.1	get on the plane. For links to both of those stories, check out the show notes at amateur traveler.com.
1:33.2	I'd like to welcome the show Stephanie Yoder
