I have lived my entire life on the beautiful coast of Slovenia, which has inspired my love for travel and exploration. As a passionate travel enthusiast and sports lover, I cherish spending quality time with my family. With over 12 years in the tourism industry, including 6 years as a tour guide, I take great pride in connecting with people and sharing the beauty of my country and the unique locations I call home.
