Lives in Belgrade, Србија

Hi, my name is Kristina and I am an adventurer passionate about slow travel. I’ve dedicated the last 5 years of my life to exploring the world, and gaining wider understanding on travel planning-especially budget friendly one! As I prioritize slow travel, I have chosen moving away from my homeland Serbia, and have spent 1 and a half year in New York, 6 months in San Francisco and around 2 years in Madrid. During my stay, I have done as much of traveling as possible, using up my days off, weekends and public holidays. I’ve joined this amazing platform in order to share my passion for my favorite places, as well as all the knowledge I have gained along the way. I will be sharing my favorite itineraries, budget tips, cultural insights, best coffee, places to eat, cool activites, and more. I can help you add the element of the authentic, local experience while abroad, and be of great help to different types of travelers, especially those with tighter budgets, traveling solo or studying\volunteering abroad. I specialize in Spain, though I am not limited to it, as I’ve had a lot of experience in travel while living abroad, where I have independently planned each and every one of my adventures. Hence, I am looking forward to helping you have the bestest time by taking care of that heavy planning part, so that you can fully enjoy your stay. I can help you out in 3 languages – Serbian , English and Spanish, so don’t hesitate to contact me!

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. I'm always happy to share my own travel stories and tips, and I'm eager to learn from others as well. So whether you're planning your next big adventure or just looking for some inspiration, feel free to reach out and connect with me on this app or Instagram @alpaca_on_gin. Let's explore the world together!

As for many people around the globe, my favorite hobby is looking forward to book a trip! I just love spending hours in creating perfect travel itinerary with all the details covered and all the needs met! With experience in tourism high - school and college education, tourism jobs in Dubrovnik area, one of the tourist centres of Croatia from young age, meeting a lot of tourists and understanding their wishes and needs, making international friendships, being a tourist through the whole Europe area, I have collected a lot of knowledge how to make your next trip perfect and totally suitable for you!
