About
Nature and history lover finding undiscovered gems around-the-world. Denver-based, with regular shuffling to Chicago, but usually can be found in the red rocks and mountains of Colorado nowadays.
Home airports
Denver International Airport (DIA).
My travel style
Former budget traveler, now a luxe explorer of hidden gems. I love finding natural or historical gems with epic vistas off-the-beaten-path. I can usually be found searching for ancient ruins or trying a high-altitude hike. Being the foodie I am, I make sure I end my adventure-packed day eating or drinking something I have never tried before. I'm trilingual! I speak English, Bosnian and Croatian (as well as a bit of French but that doesn't count).
Favorite hotels
Recently returned from:
Soaking in hot thermal springs alongside snow-capped mountains in Colorado.
Sipping cocktails beachside in sunny Cancun.
Exploring unknown pyramids in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Stargazing and hiking under the dark skies of Bruce Peninsula of Southern Ontario.
Dreaming of:
Checking out the repository of over 12,000 scrolls in the Library of Celsus in Ephesus, Türkiye with an afternoon dip at the Pamucak Beach in nearby Izmir.
Spelunking in the Crystal Cave, Vatnajökull, Iceland.
Hiking 4km roundtrip in Cathedral Gorge, Australia.
Sunrise tour of Mount Bromo in Java, Indonesia.
One thing I can't travel without...
Dramamine and hand wipes – motion sickness is real and I like clean hands.
Two truths, one lie:
I accidentally entered the royal chambers during a tour of Buckingham palace (almost caused a diplomatic row).
I stumbled upon forgotten medieval era castles in Bosnia-Herzegovina (in my defense, I was left unattended).
I was blessed by Pope Benedict XVI twice while attending a papal audience in Rome (I'm not Catholic).
