North Macedonia was the 30th country I visited on my round the world tour. From my experience, this county is a land of churches and monasteries which are located in places with wonderful views, making them very special. Ivan from Skopje looked after me for nearly my whole stay there so this video is also about the start of our friendship.
Okay, so
Hey, how are you going?
Welcome, welcome
Ivan, say hi to my followers

So this is a special program run by nuns
My first impression
It's great, I love it here really
Beautiful views
Very nice people
All the nuns are very young
I'm actually, I'm surprised to see that
I was expecting they're going to be older
So I'm going to unpack now
