➡️Unlock the secrets of the Balkans with Balkan Journeys! 🗝️🌍 Having explored 40 countries, I bring firsthand knowledge to every adventure. I love traveling, but sometimes it feels like I love travel planning even more. However, please don't think of me just as your travel planner; I'm your outdoor enthusiast. I check every route to ensure an unforgettable experience. ➡️When it comes to researching the Balkans, you may notice that most travel guides offer generic itineraries that don't necessarily cater to your specific interests. However, I understand that you're not like everyone else and you truly want to immerse yourself in the local culture. To achieve this, you'll need to do what locals do and truly experience the region from their perspective. ➡️During my travels, I have come to realize that constantly planning and replanning can make trip planning a stressful and daunting task. Let me take care of that for you. I will handle the planning so that you can focus on enjoying the best parts of your trip. My goal is to ensure that the memories you create during your travels will last a lifetime. ➡️Whether you are traveling alone, with a partner, or in a group, Balkan Journeys offers a unique opportunity to explore the Balkans sustainably. 🌿🌟Our focus on sustainable travel ensures that your journey respects the region's beauty, leaving no traces behind but countless memories. ➡️Get ready for off-the-beaten-path journeys that will take you on an authentic exploration of the mosaic of countries in southeastern Europe. For a personalized, sustainable, and authentic experience where the journey matters more than the destination itself, choose Balkan Journeys. 🏞️👣

ABOUT
Zdravo (trust me this one will work in all Western Balkan countries)! 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 have always enjoyed preparing trips for all kinds of travelers; for those who find their peace in outdoor activities and those who enjoy exploring long-lost ruins. Let's embark on a Balkan Journey where you will finally realize that dreams can really come true. ✈️ Connect with me: 📸 Instagram: @balkanjourneys 📩 Email: balkanjourneys@gmail.com 🌏🎒 #BalkanJourneys #MosaicOfCountries
