I've spent over 10 years working in tourism.As a guide, as a tour leader, and behind the scenes in agency operations.The part that still gets me every time is watching people genuinely connect with a place.That moment when someone stops mid-tour to take it all in, or when a group that started as strangers ends the day laughing together.That's what keeps me doing this.
I'm a certified mountain hiking guide, sea kayak guide, and licensed tourist guide for the Istria region.My home ground is Croatia: Istria, Kvarner, the islands, Gorski Kotar, Dalmatia.But I also lead trips into Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Montenegro.
What I think sets me apart is the agency background.I know what travel looks like from the planning side too, which means I understand what guests are hoping for before they even arrive and I know how to handle it when things don't go exactly to plan.On a tour with me, you get someone who's thinking about the whole experience, not just the route.
