048 Across the Balkans in a Vintage Yugoslav Car - Emma reads from her travel memoir DRIVING TITO

In 2009 Emma Carmichael (your podcast host) left her Council of Europe job as a conservation heritage professional in southeast Europe, and travelled across the Balkans in a vintage Zastava 750 classic car (a hugely respected rustic relic from the former Yugoslavia era).

In 2019, Emma published DRIVING TITO: Through The Balkan Backroads With A Celebrity which recounts her journey, experiencing the joys, thrills and terrors of driving such a car in a modern day Balkan world, where she is met with incredible kindness and hospitality from the people of this region.

This podcast episode sets the scene as Emma reads the first two chapters from her book. If you would like to learn more check out www.travellingthrough.co.uk/book where links will allow you to purchase a paperback or ebook from various sources.
