Unseen Footage: One Night in a War Zone - Sarajevo War Hostel [BTS 9]
Added 2018-07-12 19:04:41 +0000 UTCIn this video, I spend a night in the War Hostel in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, which simulates an experience that was a living hell for so many during the Siege of Sarajevo from 5 April 1992 to 29 February 1996.
Would you stay here? Do you know of any similar places? Let me know in the comments.
This experience was done for the BBC travel show I host, so it won't be on my YouTube, but I wanted to give you awesome Patrons a private perspective.
While those who haven't lived through war can't ever imagine what it is truly like, this experience is one you should try if you find yourself in this city. Putting yourself through challenging situations on purpose makes you stronger for when you need to be. The point of the motto “experiences over possessions” is as much about this idea as it is about travel.

It was intense, man. I can't even imagine what it would be like adding in the real danger.
2018-11-01 22:01:35 +0000 UTCWow. This was powerful. It's remarkable how a simulation can evoke powerful and profound thoughts. As you said, it can't recreate the sense of danger that anyone living in a real warzone must feel. That's something I can't even begin to imagine. But in the context of something like this, sometimes being by yourself in an uncomfortable situation, with only your own thoughts to keep you company, is the best way to grow and learn about yourself. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Mike.
