About

Every place has a story.

What do run-over chickens in Bled and Queen Maria of Yugoslavia have in common? Why did a statue with a bare breast cause such controversy in Ljubljana? Questions like these are where my storytelling begins. I love engaging travellers with the small, surprising facts about a place and turning them into memorable stories.

I'm deeply passionate about my home — a city called Ljubljana and a country called sLOVEnia. I've held a Slovenian national tourist guide licence since 2005 and have worked with international visitors since 2011. Since 2018 I've also led multi-day journeys through Slovenia and the wider region as a travel director, working especially with travellers from Australia and North America.

Guiding has taught me that every guest is different. Some want more history; others are curious about everyday life, politics, food, architecture — or what it was like to grow up in a country that no longer exists (I adore the history of Yugoslavia). I adapt the pace and the conversation to the person in front of me.

I'm honoured to be joining the Faculty of Tourism as a Lecturer, where I'll be sharing what the road has taught me with the next generation of tourism professionals.

What I do

Ways to explore with me.

01

Private & Tailor-made

Just you and your group — a walking tour of Ljubljana for two, a full day by car to Bled and beyond, paced entirely around what you're curious about. As guide and, when you like, your driver too.

02

Groups & Multi-day

From small groups to full coaches, single days to multi-day itineraries across Slovenia and the region — the same storytelling, plus the quiet logistics that keep everyone relaxed and on time.

03

Lectures & Talks

Onboard and on-land talks that give context without lecturing — a scholar's background delivered plainly, tuned to the room and the route.
