During her four-day stay, Em spent a total of £158.44 - an impressively low sum that covered "flights, accommodation, food, activities, transport - literally everything".
She confirmed the country certainly lives up to its reputation as one of the "cheapest countries to visit in Europe". Em stayed in Sarajevo, the capital city, which she described as "beautiful" and said it "felt really safe".
According to her, the locals were "very friendly" and the country boasts "stunning scenery", including "mountains, rivers, lakes and waterfalls". She also recommended a visit to Mostar, a two-hour drive from Sarajevo, describing it as "magical" and "the perfect place to explore for hours".
"I definitely wanted more than the four days I had here," she said, declaring her experience as "an amazing trip".
In response to the vlog, one intrigued viewer said Bosnia and Herzegovina was "grabbing" their attention, with others expressing surprise over its affordability. Another viewer chimed in: "Mostar is honestly one of the prettiest places I've been to! the terrace restaurant overlooking the river... beautiful!"
