Living on a DIY riverbed island in the mountains of Kosovo

Mike

Living and travelling in a van

There’s a guy who has built his own island on a riverbed at the foot of the Prokletije Mountains in Kosovo. I got his attention and he waved us across.

Let me show you…

You walk through some bushes

You get to here

Then you have to cross the river

There’s this guy that lives here

He spent 2 years making his own island on the river bed

It’s kind of like a hotel

It has guest beds

and sports facilities

A washing machine

An ensuite bathroom

Garden

A place to chill

This is where he sleeps

There’s also a fire and chimney in here

I asked him why he’s done this and he told me to close my eyes and listen to the river. But who is this guy? he didn’t speak much English and I can’t speak any Kosovan Albanian, but from what I could understand, he’s a dentist or dental technician. He did have good teeth.

What do you reckon? would you live here?
