Foodie by day, gin-sipper by night (exploring is thirsty work, you know?). Hailing from budget-savvy Serbia, I'm your secret weapon for epic adventures that won't break the bank. I've been fortunate enough to travel to some incredible places around the world, from the sandy beaches of Cuba to the historic cities of Europe. Along the way, I've learned a lot about what makes a trip truly unforgettable - from immersing yourself in the local culture to trying new things and stepping outside your comfort zone. I'm excited to be a part of this travel app community, where we can share our travel experiences, offer advice and recommendations, and connect with other like-minded travelers.

My name is Ziga and I'm from Slovenia, which is the northernmost part of the Balkan peninsula. ▶️Yeah, I know you've heard about Balkan before. It is that mosaic of countries on the Eastern side of Europe, where stories and myths still live, where food is so delicious that you won't be able to stop eating (nor will Balkan people stop feeding you), where nature is so pure and unrealistic that your brain won't believe that you are still on the same planet. ▶️Well, I know this region even better. I speak and understand the languages of people living there, and even with stamps from 40+ countries on my passport, I can’t stop exploring, what I believe is one of the most beautiful parts of our planet. ▶️Check some of my travel guides. Or even better, let me help you with the creation of personalized itineraries. For those who really wish to understand where they are going, I offer very detailed travel consultations. I h
