After more than a decade of teaching and another one of climbing the career ladder in international development organisations in a variety of projects – from emergency relief, community development, capacity building of local governments to sustainable tourism development, I embarked on a new journey of self-discovery: with several colleagues, I founded Centre for Sustainable Tourism Initiatives.  Not long after, Montenegro Adventures DMC came into the world, effectively thrusting me into the wild world of entrepreneurship.

I always wanted a job that balances office life with a sufficient amount of freedom (and fieldwork), taking me to different places with a focus on the hinterland of the Balkans.  And now, after more than a decade in Montenegro Adventures, I can safely say I still have a passion for organised adventures and for turning innovative ideas into projects that induce change.

When I made the deliberate choice to embark on a career with a travel agency, fortunately, I found myself welcomed into a team of fellow travel enthusiasts dedicated to showcasing the beauty of Montenegro and the Balkans to the global audience - Montenegro Adventures travel TEAM!

Over the past decade, I have traversed the region extensively, actively engaging in diverse projects ranging from developing innovative products such as hiking trails and wine routes to conducting training sessions for rural households. Whether it’s contributing to initiatives like Via Dinarica or similar endeavours, my commitment remains unwavering.

My passion lies in crafting unique itineraries, often in close collaboration with our clients and partners. When I create experiences for our customers, I strive to blend history and cultural heritage, the allure of nature, soft adventure activities, and the richness of local cuisine. Most importantly, I relish the opportunity to connect with the people, ensuring that the itineraries not only showcase the region’s highlights but also venture into the less-travelled paths, providing a genuine insight into the lives of the local communities.

With a background in tourism management and firsthand experience living in China, I have learned the value of persistence and courage in overcoming challenges. My time in China has taught me a lot about communicating across cultures, and my organisational skills have been honed in my previous work with the Asian market to fit right in with the Montenegro Adventures team. I’m genuinely thrilled about the chance to join this team.

As a Travel Sales Coordinator, I focus on creating seamless and memorable travel experiences for each client. I’m committed to ensuring every detail is meticulously planned and executed flawlessly. In this dynamic and fast-paced role, I can showcase my passion for travel and my love for the beauty of Montenegro while helping my clients create memories that will last a lifetime.

My fondness for the rural areas of Montenegro stems from my mountaineering days when I discovered the exceptional beauty of our villages and off-the-beaten-track destinations. When designing itineraries, I’m dedicated to showcasing the charm and authenticity of rural Montenegro, enriching our clients’ experiences and supporting sustainable rural tourism development.

Let’s embark on this journey together and make your travel dreams come true!
