Patrick Collison made a travel website:

It’s surprisingly hard to find good travel writing online. Upon landing someplace, you can peruse Wikipedia, but what else should one read? Below is a compendium of recommended pieces.

There is a single entry on “the Balkans” and it was fun to read if too simplistic. On the other hand, there are many references to Chris Arnade’s writing, so I hope that at least some of the other links are in that ballpark. (ᔥTyler Cowen)
