A few months ago, while visiting Belgrade, I came across this line in a Lonely Planet article:<\/p>\n

This underrated destination in the European traveller\u2019s mindset is a sitting duck for those who hunt memorable experiences.<\/em><\/p>\n

To be fair, Serbia is a difficult place to describe. It was far from being my favorite destination and I’d have a hard time writing about it with any real enthusiasm. Still, that didn\u2019t stop me from asking Lonely Planet to let me try.<\/p>\n

As you might imagine, I didn\u2019t get a response \u2013 as is often the case when lobbing thinly veiled insults at reputable media organizations online. I don’t fault them for taking the high road, but I’m kind of surprised they did. Surely their editors surely know that nothing interesting ever happens there.<\/p>\n
