This blog, by Chloe Baker and Oliver Johnson, describes our journey by land and sea from Lesbos Island in Greece to southern Germany in December 2015. We are both doctors with experience in humanitarian and development issues and undertook the trip in order to better understand the situation for refugees along the Balkan Route and what we all, including the UK Government, need to do to improve the situation.

Life Jackets on Lesvos
Having left Lesvos for Athens this morning, one of our most enduring memories will be the discarded life jackets that are scattered on beaches, roads and fields across the island. Along with the wrecked inflatable boats they're a symbol of the one-way journey across the water and the risks people are having to take during their journey. #SearchingSafePassage
