How did you get involved in travel?

"It all started at the age of 15 and when I escaped from home with my older sister, one bag and passport on a day trip from Croatia to the Amusement park in the northern Italy. That trip made me want to travel and discover more which ulteriorly led me to one of the best decisions in my life - to enter the University and study foreign languages. After getting my bachelor's degree in Italian Language and Literature I got opportunity to spend 6 months on a Erasmus Study Stay in Naples, visit the south of Italy and later on start my first working experience aboad, in beautiful Florence. For my personal passions and redevelopment of my native country Croatia, I have also participated in various cultural and debating projects for which I have traveled a lot through Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, Latvia and met so many interesting people with same interest in travel who just confirmed me my life vision - dreams do come true, they sometimes just take time."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One travel experience that makes me particularly happy happened in December 2019. After my university studies I wanted to turn my lifelong dream into reality, so I booked a one way ticket for my dream continent - South America and voluntereed for two months in Chile, Argentina and Brasil. I will never forget the simplicity and warmth of local people, the colorful streets always full of music, exotic fruits never seen before and beautiful panoramic views on every corner. I consider myself happy because I've got the chance to live with locals in their families and share everyday moments which helped me understand more their culture, break down all the stereotypes that media wanted me to believe and made me see the real South America in a way that might not have occured otherwise."
